"Yeah, that's right." Xiao Hei thought in his mind: "If we delay any longer, my brother-in-law will come back and none of us will be able to continue playing, so just bring something small with a rope."

"Let's go, I will take you to taste the special delicacies of the city that never sleeps, and then go to the gambling house to have a good time." With that, Xiao Hei hugged Jin Dou'er and took Zhenwen and hurried towards the lively market.

Not long after, the three of them came to a restaurant. As soon as they entered, Xiao Hei shouted: "Boss, I'm thirsty, please hurry up and get three cups of 'Sang Tao Lu'."

"Uh? Isn't this Miss Xiaohei? Why did you come back to the city that never sleeps?" When the boss, a strong man in his thirties, shrank his neck in fear when he saw her, he was stunned and speechless for a moment.

Xiaohei and Zhenwen ignored his surprise, but found a table and sat down before saying to the boss: "What, are you afraid that I will ask you for gambling debts? Don't worry, I told you when I left, past accounts

Write it off, we are just here to have fun today, we have to go back to the Spirit King’s Hall later.”

"Huh, that's good, that's good." After the boss heard this, a big stone fell in his heart. In the past, he and a group of neighbors were dragged by Xiao Hei to have a gambling party.

This guy has won a lot, and it's not easy to be in debt.

Fortunately, Xiao Hei just enjoys the excitement brought by gambling and is not someone who demands money. Therefore, before leaving, he told everyone who had gambling debts that the past debts would not count.

"Dong dong dong!" At this moment, Xiao Hei knocked on the corner of the table to interrupt the boss's memory. She shouted loudly: "Hey, hey, don't be stunned. Where is my mulberry? Bring it over quickly."

"Oh, yes, yes, I'll make it right away." After saying that, the boss turned around and went into the kitchen, and soon he brought three cups of mulberry.

"Come on, try it." Xiao Hei picked up his portion and scooped it into his mouth. While eating, he said, "This is the most famous snack in the city that never sleeps. It's made with fresh mulberries and peach flesh. It's delicious.

……Um?!"

Suddenly, Xiao Hei spit out the contents of his mouth on the ground, threw the mulberry in his hand on the table, and then shouted: "Hey, boss."

"Huh?" Hearing her shouting, the boss immediately stepped forward and asked, "Sister Xiaohei, what are your orders?"

"Do you think I've never eaten this? Why are you fooling me with something that's not fresh?" Xiao Hei said angrily, "And why is it not chilled? It's not delicious at all!"

"Uh, I'm really sorry, Miss Xiaohei." The boss looked a little embarrassed and whispered: "I'm really sorry, there are no fresh ingredients in the store. These three cups of mulberry are the only ones left. I put two

Three hours is a bit stale."

"It's so strange that you, the boss, don't prepare more ingredients when you open a store to do business?"

"It's... it's not that we were not prepared. In fact, some unexpected situations occurred." The boss scratched his head and said: "Not only the ingredients, but also the ice cubes used to keep the food fresh, we have no more here, and for a while

I can’t even get it.”

"Hehe, boss, the more you talk, the weirder it gets." Xiao Hei became interested at this time and immediately greeted him: "Come sit down and tell me what's going on."

"Okay, then I'll talk to you." The boss was also worried and depressed for a few days, and always wanted to find someone to talk to. When Xiao Hei asked, he sat in front of them and started chatting.

It turns out that the restaurant run by this owner is famous in the city for its signature snack "Sang Tao Lu", and its business has always been booming. The reason is simply that it uses high-quality ingredients and carefully prepares it.

The mulberries and fresh peaches he used were produced in the woods on the outskirts of Evernight City, where there was a spring that was half running water and half ice. Usually the boss would go there himself to pick the materials and get some ice cubes.

But recently, mysterious beasts came to the woods, and there were quite a lot of them. The boss didn't dare to go there for fear of being in danger. No, after several days, even the business was delayed.

"Alien beasts have taken over the dense forest? It's really troublesome." Xiao Hei put his chin in his hand and said with some dissatisfaction: "It's all those guys' fault. I can't have a full meal. I'm guilty!"

"Xiao Hei, how about we go to the woods and have a look?" Zhen Wen had a sudden idea and said: "What's the point of playing dice in a gambling house in the city? It's better to go and play with those strange beasts. Wouldn't it be more interesting?

?”

"Well..." Hearing this, Xiao Hei was a little moved, but Jin Dou'er next to him said: "Sister Qinghuang said that we can play in the city, but we can't go out of the city. I think it's okay.

Alright."

"Shut up!" After hearing this, Xiao Hei became furious. She slapped the table with her hands: "If you open your mouth and shut up, you are also Qinghuang. Don't forget, you are with me. Listen to me like this."

If Huang is the case, why don’t you stay with her?”

"Hmph, the more you don't let me go, the more I will go!" At this moment, Xiao Hei's stubborn temper came up, and Huo Di said in unison: "Let's go to the woods in the suburbs. I want to take a look at those strange people.

Doesn’t the beast have three heads and six arms?”

"Wait a minute!" The boss suddenly picked up a huge bamboo basket from the side, and then said with a smile: "I will go with you. If you can drive the strange beasts away, I can also collect fresh ingredients and ice cubes right away.

return."

"Tsk tsk, you are indeed a businessman, you really know how to find every opportunity." Xiao Hei agreed: "Okay, I can take you there. If we are defeated by the beasts, we can throw you out as a shield."

Hearing this, the boss smiled and did not answer. That was because he knew that Xiao Hei was known for being hard-spoken and soft-hearted, so he did not take it seriously.

In this way, the boss took his own horse, the gray donkey, and hurried out of the north city gate with Xiao Hei and Zhen Wen. They arrived at the edge of the woods in the suburbs in a short time.

"It's so quiet here." Xiao Hei looked up and then said: "It doesn't look like there is any wild beast staying and roosting. Let me tell you, boss, did you make a mistake somewhere?"

"Impossible!" the restaurant owner said hurriedly: "The day I came here, I really saw some strange beasts with spotted fur, rat heads and leopard bodies. They drove me out of the forest fiercely and wanted to

If we didn't run fast, we might be eaten by strange animals."

"But I heard that strange beasts in the spiritual world usually don't hurt people. Is this person an exception?" As soon as Zhenwen said this, the boss shook his head: "That's true, but some meat-eating animals

If the spirit beasts are short of food, they may still get violent and hurt people, that’s not even possible.”

While several people were chatting, Jin Douer suddenly whispered: "Pay attention, there seems to be movement in the woods."
