On the self-cultivation of a foodie

Five years later.

Another hot summer.

The summer in City G is always so unfriendly. The sun shines directly on the ground, making the whole ground sizzling like a burning floor. There are few pedestrians on the street, and there is an occasional gust of wind, which is mixed with heat waves.

It’s another year of summer vacation, but because the weather is so hot, even the most naughty children are reluctant to go out to play. Most of the small shops on the street are deserted and deserted. In a canteen by the road, the boss shakes A big cattail fan kept complaining, complaining that the terrible weather would not allow them to survive, and complaining that the electricity bill would be a huge expense at the end of the month.

The working girl on the side looked at the big air-conditioned supermarket opposite, and then at the only broken fan in the store. While wiping the sweat from her forehead, she silently rolled her eyes... She I've been working here for almost three years, and they don't even have an air conditioner installed in the store!

Just as the boss was complaining, a young man suddenly walked into the store.

This young man was clean and handsome, probably in his early 20s, with the appearance of a college student, wearing an ordinary T-shirt and shorts, stepping on a cross mop, his hair was a little messy, and his expression was a little lazy.

The boss paused for a moment. He felt that this young man looked a little familiar. He thought for a long time, but he still couldn't find any memory about this man in the corner of his brain, so he wiped the sweat from his forehead while perfunctory Asked: "What do you want to buy?"

The young man smiled: "Buy mung beans."

"Buy mung beans? In that corner." The boss casually pointed in the direction.

"I want one bag," the young man touched his chin, "wait a minute... two bags."

The boss looked at the young man puzzledly. This guy doesn't seem to be engaged in canteen shopping. Why did he buy so many mung beans?But the customer is God, he wondered, but he dragged out the two sacks of mung beans deftly.

The young man paid the money readily, then easily picked up the two sacks of mung beans with one hand, turned and left the canteen.

After the man left, the boss turned around and asked the migrant girl, "Why do I feel that person looks familiar? Is it the big star you chased before?"

"Thinking too much!" The working girl rolled her eyes, "Can a big star come to your shop to buy things?...Although I think he looks familiar, but I can't remember it. I guess it will be popular after a while." The little star who has passed away quickly again."

"What a broken store! This is our family's family business!" The boss said with a beard and a glare.

"I got it, I got it! Dad! Let's buy an air conditioner! I'm getting so hot!"

"What kind of air conditioner to buy! How much does an air conditioner cost a month!"

"If you're worried about the air conditioner, I'll tell mom about your secret smoking yesterday!"

"You, you, you... Alas! Well, if you buy an air conditioner, just buy an air conditioner!"

Jiang Haiyan left the canteen with two sacks of mung beans.

Another year of summer, another year of summer vacation.

In the fifth year after Shen Heqing left, nothing seemed to have changed.

The summer in City G is still so hot, and Shen Heqing still hasn't come back.

As Jiang Haiyan walked back, he thought about the changes in the people he knew in the past five years.

Qin Nianxiao has been continuously active in the food competition for the past five years. Last year he finally won the championship of the Super Invincible Big Stomach King. After winning the highest award in the country, he non-stop participated in the Ultimate Invincible Big Stomach held by country A Wang Bing won the championship again, and next month he will represent Country Z to participate in the Super Ultimate Invincible Big Stomach King held by the World Food Competition Federation.

Xiao Xianyou has been honing his acting skills in the past five years, and finally won the Golden Duck Award last month with his own efforts, becoming another double actor after Qin Hesheng. Very proud.

As for the realm of comprehension——

Maybe it's because the decline is bound to prosper. Since the great catastrophe five years ago, the trend of spiritual energy in the cultivation world has gradually become thinner. In the past five years, people with alliances have discovered new ones in different places. His spiritual veins shocked the entire cultivation world. It must be known that no new spiritual veins have been discovered in the cultivation world for hundreds of years. Most of the previously discovered spiritual veins have gradually dried up. The world is getting worse and worse, and they actually discovered a new spiritual vein at the last moment!

Not only that, after discovering the new spiritual veins, they gradually found that the spiritual energy did not seem to decrease sharply, but instead increased day by day, and the entire cultivation world suddenly rejuvenated like a dead tree in spring.

For such a change, everyone in the cultivation world is a little confused, but if the aura does not decrease sharply, it means that the aura will not be exhausted, and if the aura will not be exhausted, it means that the cultivation world will not be over. The world was sincerely relieved, although they still couldn't figure out why... In the end they could only attribute it to the way of heaven.

Prosperity must decline, or prosperity will come.

The cycle of heaven is endless.

Zhu Lanhe is still flourishing in the mortal entertainment industry, but Jiang Haiyan has quit the entertainment industry five years ago... Although strictly speaking, he has not stepped into the entertainment industry yet, since Shen Heqing After leaving, he rejected invitations from all programs and entertainment companies, returned to the computer, and became a live broadcast host.

Over the past five years, various forms of live broadcasting have emerged, and the simple and rude eating and broadcasting like Jiang Haiyan, who is just burying his head in eating, is naturally quickly abandoned by the trend of the times. Fans come and go, and there are still not many. Few, apart from die-hard fans, very few people remember his past glory, only occasional posts on some gossip forums similar to "818 Those who were once popular but short-lived like shooting stars" Brush up on the sense of presence, and let some Xiao Mengxin shed tears of bitterness for him.

However, as an out-of-date Internet celebrity, Jiang Haiyan himself feels that the current life is not bad, because he is "out-of-date" and he no longer has to be surrounded by fans when he goes out on the street like before. Although he earns less money, But relying on the rewards from the live broadcast and the occasional bonus from participating in a small competition is still quite nourishing.

Everything is fine, except that Shen Heqing is not by his side.

Jiang Haiyan walked and walked to the barbecue restaurant opened by Zheng Youqian and Ling Hei.

Although it was summer, the business of this barbecue shop was surprisingly good. He stared at the busy figures of Zheng Youqian and Ling Hei in the barbecue shop, and then turned around and walked back.

After knowing that there is such a thing as a license to become a master of the alliance, Zheng Youqian forced Ling Hei, an undocumented person, to take the test. Finally, last year, they successfully passed the test for the alliance's elite license... As for Xia Jing and Xie Pang, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals fought and lost, and they signed up for this year's alliance's elite license exam with confidence.

And Jiang Haiyan hadn't taken the test for the alliance master license since five years ago. After all, the guy who would supervise his review for the test was gone.

As he walked, he came to the alley where he and Shen Heqing first met.

It seems a little wrong to say that five years ago was the first meeting between him and Shen Heqing, but to some extent, it was indeed their "first meeting" in the true sense.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of fighting in the alley.

Jiang Haiyan stopped immediately.

Why does this scene seem a little familiar?

He froze for a moment, and walked towards the place where the sound came from involuntarily...

Soon, he returned to the alley where he and Shen Heqing first met.

Everything seems to be the same as it was five years ago.

Still no sun, still dark and damp.

Even the trash can in the corner is still in its original position.

A person was forced into a corner by several huge beasts. Those beasts looked ferocious and terrifying. Their exposed fangs were two to three meters long, and their bodies were several times larger than ordinary monsters. The appearance is not any kind of monster or spirit beast that Jiang Haiyan has seen before.

This is a creature that has never appeared in the cultivation world...

Jiang Haiyan was stunned for a moment, he has lived for so many years, but he has never seen this thing... Could it be some newly born monster?

But when he saw clearly the face of the person who was cornered, he was taken aback for a second.

"Shen Heqing..."

he cried out.

The person in the corner is clearly Shen Heqing!

... Everything actually coincided with the scene five years ago.

Jiang Haiyan couldn't believe his eyes, he blinked, but everything in front of him did not disappear with his blinking like a phantom, he paused, and finally realized that all this is true, Shen Heqing is back.

Shen Heqing is back.

Shen Heqing, who was in a bitter fight, was shocked when he heard Jiang Haiyan's voice.

But when he was in a daze, those unknown beasts took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, and all rushed towards Shen Heqing, and the iron claws that seemed to tear even steel covered Shen Heqing with one paw.

"careful!"

Jiang Haiyan's face changed, he was so excited that he forgot about Shen Heqing's current situation.

Shen Heqing narrowly escaped, but fell into a bitter fight again.

Seeing this, Jiang Haiyan sneered, slowly rolled up his sleeves, and walked slowly towards those unknown beasts...

10 minute later.

Jiang Haiyan frowned slightly as he looked down at the corpses of unknown beasts that he had sucked dry. This was obviously not any kind of cultivation creature he had seen before, but the spiritual power in his body was quite strong...

"This is a kind of monster from the small world I went to," Shen Heqing said with a wry smile, covering the torn wound on his arm, "the aura in that small world is much stronger than ours, even The monsters there are also much stronger, in order to come back to see you soon, I was negligent for a while, and they broke into the teleportation circle..."

Jiang Haiyan raised his head and looked at Shen Heqing.

Not seeing each other for five years, Shen Heqinghe didn't seem to have changed much before, even the clothes he was wearing were still the same as when he left five years ago.

"you……"

"you……"

The two opened their mouths immediately, but stopped at the same time.

After a while, Jiang Haiyan laughed: "You haven't changed."

For the past five years, he has been repeatedly imagining the scene of Shen Heqing's return in his mind, simulating and practicing many times, even thinking about the conversation between the two and what he would say...

But until this moment, he realized that he had forgotten everything.

Shen Heqing looked deeply at Jiang Haiyan, then lowered his eyes, and said softly: "...Because I'm afraid, if I change, you won't recognize me."

"How could I not recognize you?" Jiang Haiyan snorted, "I can tell it's you by smelling the smell on your body."

Shen Heqing gave a low laugh, and he sighed: "I thought I would never come back..."

Jiang Haiyan blinked: "But you are back."

Shen Heqing lowered his eyes: "The cultivation civilization in that small world is much more advanced than here, and the aura is rich and suitable for cultivation but dangerous. If it weren't for you... maybe I would have died there long ago."

Jiang Haiyan blinked: "But you are not dead."

"...so I'm back," Shen Heqing smiled softly, his eyelids drooped, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, "that small world is full of aura, but due to limited talent, no matter how hard I practice, I can only produce Half a demon pill."

Shen Heqing raised his eyes, looked into Jiang Haiyan's eyes, and asked seriously: "Now I only have half a demon pill, would you despise me like this?"

Jiang Haiyan laughed: "It's okay, I only have half a demon pill."

"I, who only has half a demon core, how can I dislike you, who only has half a demon core?"

Shen Heqing paused and then laughed.

"By the way, the long-renovated self-service barbecue restaurant opposite our house has opened..." Jiang Haiyan paused and said with a smile, "Well, it has been open for five years. I didn't expect that the restaurant was Zheng Youqian and Ling Hei. Yes, Ling Hei is that black-scaled merman... Maybe you don't remember Zheng Youqian and that black-scaled merman?"

Shen He smiled lightly and said: "I remember."

"You still remember?" Jiang Haiyan was a little surprised.

"I remember every moment after I was with you," Shen He said with a faint smile, "Every time I couldn't hold on over there, I quickly recalled the memory of being with you, and then I was able to hold on gone."

Jiang Haiyan snorted awkwardly: "It seems that you have learned a lot of love talk skills in the past five years? Who did you learn from?"

"You can learn without a teacher." Shen Heqing smiled.

"...Hmph, I'll let you go, let's go eat barbecue," Jiang Haiyan seemed to completely ignore the two sacks of mung beans he just bought not far away, and said happily, "Yes, yes, you still Remember Qin Nian's smile, that guy is very powerful now, and by the way, there is also Xiao Xianyou... A lot of things have happened in the past five years, I feel like I can't finish it all today."

"It's okay, you can tell me slowly," Shen Heqing smiled softly, he stretched out his hand and hugged Jiang Haiyan into his arms, and buried his face on Jiang Haiyan's shoulder, "Even if you can't finish talking today, you can still talk about it." There is tomorrow, the day after tomorrow... Anyway, we still have so much time."

Jiang Haiyan also stretched out his hand and hooked Shen Heqing's neck. It wasn't until he felt the warmth and heat in his arms that he was finally sure that all this was not an illusion, not a dream, but real... Shen Heqing really came back.

"You're back……"

"Well, I'm back."

"Why did you come back?"

"……sorry."

"If it's useful to say sorry, what do you want the Alliance of Cultivators to do?"

"..."

"Next time, don't leave me alone and run to other small worlds!"

"it is good."

"Next time, don't just dig out the demon core and give it to others! Has no one ever told you that something like a demon core is very important, so you can't just give it to others?"

"I just returned it to the original owner."

"You still talk back?"

"...You are not someone else."

"Ahem... forget it this time! Next time, if you give the demon pill to someone else, I will... I don't want you!"

As soon as Jiang Haiyan finished speaking, Shen Heqing hugged him even tighter.

"Never again..." Shen Heqing lowered his voice, his tone inexplicably aggrieved.

"Don't want me."

Jiang Haiyan snorted.

Seeing this, Shen Heqing rubbed his face against Jiang Haiyan's shoulder: "It's shameful to abandon pets."

Jiang Haiyan: "It's shameful to be cute!"

In the next second, he felt a lightness in his arms, and then a fluffy, round snow-white ball fell into his arms.

Xuebai Tuanzi rubbed Jiang Haiyan's fingers with his small paws, and looked at him eagerly with a pair of small black bean eyes: "Don't leave me behind."

Jiang Haiyan suppressed the nosebleed: "...it's most shameful to change back to the original shape to be cute!"

A second later, Jiang Haiyan was defeated.

He poked the little furry head of the hamster with a finger, and snorted softly: "Idiot, how could I be willing to lose you... Where can I find a pet like you that can be cute and can cook?"

"It will also warm the bed." The hamster spirit blinked her small eyes.

Jiang Haiyan coughed: "There is no need to emphasize this point, anyway...do you want to change back first?"

Hamster Spirit: "...I can't change back for the time being."

Jiang Haiyan was taken aback: "What's wrong?"

Hamster Spirit: "Just now the spiritual energy was consumed too much..."

Jiang Haiyan: "..."

Jiang Haiyan looked at the pitiful hamster spirit in his hand, and squinted his eyes: "Then you can keep it like this for now, and when I am in a better mood, you can change back to human form."

The hamster spirit lay down silently and pretended to be dead.

Jiang Haiyan rubbed the hamster ball in his hands viciously, and smiled: "Since you can't change back into a human form, then let's not eat barbecue today, let's go home and drink mung bean paste!"

Jiang Haiyan put the hamster essence into his breast pocket, picked up two sacks of mung beans again, turned around and walked towards the alley where he came.

The hamster nestled on Jiang Haiyan's chest, only a small head stuck out, its small paws grabbed the edge of the pocket, raised its head and stared at Jiang Haiyan with small black eyes.

Jiang Haiyan looked down at the hamster on his chest, and smiled softly: "Let's go, let's go home."

"...well, go home."

"After you go back, you have to make up for the big meal I haven't eaten in five years!"

"Okay, after I go back, I will cook you a big meal every day."

"...how does the food taste in that small world?"

"Not bad, I'll take you to try it next time."

……

The two chatted while walking, and gradually, they left the dark and damp alley.

Jiang Haiyan took his hamster essence back to the street, back to the sunshine...

At this time, the sun seemed not as strong as before, and the number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased.

There are countless ordinary people living in this city. They are destined to know that there have been many extraordinary stories in this city, let alone that they have passed by some extraordinary people.

And Jiang Haiyan's figure gradually disappeared into the crowd, just like other ordinary people in this city who couldn't be more ordinary.

They are bathed in warm sunshine and rushing to the next station of their lives.
