Plants vs. Zombies

"Hey?" Liu Dingjia never thought that a middle-level swordsman like Jameson would be so poor that he would sell the space earrings for food, and suddenly remembered that when he first hired Jameson, he was still a beginner Warrior, in order to support the phantom of the contracted beast of the dark system, it seems that he has been living a "poor" life.

Liu Dingjia still remembered that the price of hiring Jameson was "food and lodging included" - a dignified swordsman, even worse than the dwarf Tanxiu who just entered the employment market.

In this way, Jameson's life before that was really miserable. Judging from the personality of this man who is quite obsessed with eating, it is very reasonable to sell the space earrings.

Under such assumptions, Liu Dingjia looked at Jameson's eyes gradually softened, and his eyes were filled with sympathy that made Sir Swordsman extremely uncomfortable. Finally, the kid nodded in understanding: "I see."

Under this guy's empathetic gaze of "meaning + obscenity", Jameson felt that goosebumps were about to pop out all over his body, so he hardened his face and glared at him viciously, still sympathizing with him "Employer": "What are you still doing here? Why don't you go out and try to see if this thing works."

"Oh, I'm going out now."

Frightened by Jameson's sudden and ruthless voice, Liu Dingjia was startled, staggered and almost fell to the ground.After answering in embarrassment, Liu Dingjia limped towards the door dragging his crippled right leg.

Liu Dingjia was very pleased with the test results—this rough mask completely retained the characteristics and efficacy of the pumpkin head's "thick skin". Not only was it airtight, but it also blocked the dirt in the air from the mask.

Liu Dingjia was overjoyed because of this, and turned around to tell the producer Jameson the test results, but saw that the other party had come behind him: "How is it? You look good?" Jameson said. Sen asked.

"It's really good, it's completely OK!" Liu Dingjia smiled and made an "OK" gesture, and then turned around and ran out regardless of the frowns of the people behind him because of his words and gestures.

The reason why Liu Dingjia wanted to go out so much was to watch the "magic show" of Holy City University + mage.But the prayer ceremony was arranged in the afternoon, and it was not yet noon. Liu Dingjia didn't want to go back to the mercenary union as soon as he left, so he simply went to the commercial street to buy what he needed while shopping.

When Liu Dingjia passed under the eaves of a musical instrument store, a blond man was negotiating with the owner on a handmade poplar sanxian in the store.Perhaps out of habit, the blond man would pluck the strings from time to time.And it was the clear and clear sound of the strings that attracted the attention of Liu Dingjia who was about to walk towards the "Fanny's Flower" not far ahead.

Although in terms of music theory, Liu Dingjia is at best at the level of humming along to Jay Chou's records, but even people like him can hear the difference in the sound of this Yang xylophone, and think it should be A very nice instrument.

Therefore, Liu Dingjia, who was originally out to "join in the fun", stopped his footsteps, went under the counter and looked at the shopkeepers and buyers who were constantly vying for prices.Because of his short stature, the two people who were negotiating did not notice him standing beside him.

While listening to the commotion, the little man observed the young man who couldn't let go of his hand holding the three-stringed violin—the young man's temperament was not very outstanding, but his whole body exuded a gentle and humble atmosphere, even when he was having a heated argument with the boss, The tone of voice is neither hasty nor impatient, and his manners are decent. It can be seen that he is a very educated person.

Because the blond-haired young man wore a golden-gray mask that completely covered the upper half of his face, Liu Dingjia didn't know what the other party was thinking, except for a head of brilliant blond hair, he could only see a round Chin, and a pair of silver eyes - a pair of very beautiful silver eyes, exuding a gentle and kind light.

The man was wearing a gray cloak with a hood, and a sprig of orange honeydew fruit was pinned to the neckline—this kind of fruit Liu Dingjia had seen under the walls of Anxina, clustered in clusters on the snowy ground in the corner On top of it, it is very beautiful, and it also has a faint fragrance.But Abby's fiancé Sammy told him that this fruit is poisonous, and many small animals will be attracted by its color and smell in winter and become its nourishment.

However, because the toxicity is not strong, even some restaurants will use this thing to decorate the table.

Liu Dingjia's gaze finally landed on the young man's hands that occasionally plucked the strings, and his eyes followed the white and slender fingers casually stirring on the strings.Seeing such a pair of beautiful and charming hands falling on the strings, Liu Dingjia couldn't help but think that this piano should be the man with long golden hair.

"Let's do this," Liu Dingjia looked away from the young man's fingers who had been playing with Yang xyloqin fondly, and tried to stand on his toes.Liu Dingjia looked at the boss inside the counter, narrowed his eyes, and intervened in the conversation between the two: "Boss, how about this, let this brother perform with your piano, if we are satisfied, then we will give it to you." How about his convenience?"

"Us? Dear child, did I hear something wrong?" The boss frowned as he looked at the boy who was not as tall as the counter.

"You heard me right, boss, it is indeed us—if I join in, we will be able to solve this problem better." Liu Dingjia blinked and said playfully, "If this gentleman's piano skills satisfy me , as a viewer, of course I have to pay a viewing fee, don’t I?”

"Hehe, well, I'll listen to you, although I don't think you can afford the expensive 'viewing fee'." The boss looked at the boy's poor clothes and mocked him kindly, but finally agreed Liu Dingjia's request.

The boss turned to the blond customer and said, "Then, sir, if you don't mind, can you give us a short performance?"

"As much as I'm willing, if you two don't dislike it." The blond young man glanced gratefully at the short boy standing beside him, smiled at him, then bowed his head politely to the boss, and picked up the long + Playing the shamisen, he sat on a wooden bench placed in the shop.

After setting up his posture, the young man asked the shopkeeper and Liu Dingjia, "What story do you two want to hear?"

"Rest in peace, Naye's girl." The owner of the musical instrument shop took out a pipe, lit it and said.

"Oh, I'm free." Liu Dingjia didn't know those songs and stories in this world, so he could only echo casually.

The young man nodded, then lowered his head, and plucked the first string: "Then, you two, please calm your minds and listen to me tell you the story passed down by Master."

"A long, long time ago, before we were all born, on the soil of this place, the god of the Erduo River gave birth to a daughter, and Anxi Naye had a beautiful girl..."

"...the jewel became a teardrop, which fell in the northern sky, and was set on the ring of Gosebert, so that even when the stars fell, it still shines brightly."

Liu Dingjia stood quietly in front of the counter watching the young man bow his head and pluck the strings, singing a cappella euphemistically.Although the young man's voice is neither clear nor mellow, as a bard, the young man has a rather bad voice - hoarse and dry.But it is such a voice, Liu Dingjia was deeply attracted by it when the first line of lyrics flowed from his lips.There seemed to be scrolls of pictures in front of his eyes, beautiful girls, ruthless fathers, loving mothers, gentle husbands, jealous gods...every character came from the poems and stood in front of Liu Dingjia Acura that period of sad mythical tragedy.

Originally, Liu Dingjia thought that the ending of this story was just like what Jameson told, the beautiful girl lived happily with her husband for the rest of her life, but the ending of the story was far beyond his imagination, even It had a considerable impact on him.

Unknowingly, Liu Dingjia shed tears amidst the young man's melodious singing, and he didn't wake up until the young man who put down the Yang xyloqin handed him a handkerchief.

"Are you crying?" The young man squatted down + made himself at eye level with the thin boy, then handed the handkerchief in front of him, and comforted him softly, "Don't be so sad, maybe this is just a story, and the story The ending of the protagonist in the movie may not be like this."

But the thin boy pushed away the handkerchief that the young man handed over—even he himself didn’t know why he was so sad, he just heard that Xia Heboti killed his husband because he became a maggot. , especially when he was finally cast into hell and sleep forever under Panxi Snow Mountain, his tears fell naturally, and the pain went deep into his heart, stirring every inch of the nerves connected to it.

But why this happened, he really had no idea, and in the end he could only attribute it to the superb performance of the youth.

In the end, he could only shake his head.In order to hide the embarrassment of crying because of the song, Liu Dingjia stubbornly denied: "I didn't cry, I just think you performed so well, this piano should be yours." Then he stretched out his hand and pushed it away. He took the hand that the young man was handing over the handkerchief, and turned to the owner of the musical instrument store, "Boss, do you think I'm right?"

"Indeed, although Your Excellency's voice is not suitable for a bard, but whether it is your playing technique or singing skills, it makes up for this small deficiency-presumably you have paid for it. The hardships and sweat beyond ordinary people, even those with excellent talents, will be eclipsed by your efforts - I will sell you this violin at the price you said."

"Thank you very much for your appreciation, boss—and you, cute kid." The young man stood up, touched the boy's head, and smiled gently.

"Then, please wait a moment, I will pack the violin for this guest now." Because he was very satisfied with the young man's performance, the boss decided to sell the Yang xyloqin at a low price without saying much, and took the sanxian from the young man. Queen Qin walked into the room behind the store to pack the goods.

But Liu Dingjia, who was praised as a "cute kid", blushed under the mask: since he became Kang Ji, he has been completely insulated from such wonderful adjectives as cute, handsome, and charming. People don't call him face to face. "Ugly" and he thanked God.

Touching the mask on his face, Liu Dingjia thought it was really thanks to Jameson making this thing, otherwise, maybe he would scare away the young man who had a good impression of him in front of him.
