Chapter 176
176 The Forbidden City [II]
Because during this month’s competition, not only the teams of 40,000 to 50,000 people came to the Forbidden City, but also many family groups, fan groups, cheerleading teams, etc. that came along, and there were many other groups specially designed to watch Ordinary people who came to the city to join in the fun.
These people were the real God of Wealth, and these people couldn’t enter the hall of spiritual masters. Tickets could only be used to enter the various arenas while watching the game.
Therefore, although the Forbidden City was large enough, it tended to be saturated for a while. Everywhere was overcrowded, especially the storefronts closer to the Hall of Spiritualists. Those who opened the store even cleaned out the firewood house, which still could not meet the needs of accommodation.
At noon, in a bustling street in the Forbidden City, Bu Wenle and Lao Caitou led Wang Wei, Lu Wenfeng, Ji Menghan, Bu Yueyue, Fatty and Mei’er, walking freely. The various shops on both sides of the street attracted everyone’s attention from time to time.
At this time, there were still three days before the opening time of the Continental Spirit Master Academy Competition. In order to get used to the competition environment in advance, and to relax everyone who had been in retreat for a year, Bu Wenle and Lao Caitou decided to come to the Forbidden City a few days earlier.
Actually, there is another reason. Even Wang Wei didn’t dare to let Lao Caitou fly with him. Thinking of the painful experience a year ago, everyone still feels nauseated.
Therefore, after coming out of Lingchen Cave this time, everyone just ran all the way, moving directly towards the Forbidden City. But this was fine, Bu Wenle thought that this could consolidate everyone’s physical fitness.
Because Lingchen Cave was not too far from the Forbidden City, and ordinary people could get there in just over a month, so, under the fast movements of everyone, it took only a week to arrive.
In the past year, Wang Wei and the other six students have obviously changed a lot. Apart from the fact that they have grown a little taller, the one who had changed the most is Fatty. Compared to the fat pig with big head and big ears a year ago. At this time, Ziyu was obviously thinner than a circle, as if all the fat on his body had been stretched.
.....
Seeing that Fatty’s original jade-like pink face was now a little more heroic, and his face became a little more angular. But the skin is still white and fine, probably because it’s been too long without seeing the sun in Lingchen Cave. This could be confirmed from the complexion of everyone including Bu Wenle and Lao Caitou.
Especially Wang Wei and the other six students, all of them have thin skin and tender body, and they didn’t feel like the wind and the sun had touched them at all. The appearance of the three little girls was better. Their white skins and thin bodies were very good-looking, but the three little boys Wang Wei, Lu Wenfeng and Fatty, who were also so white and thin, seemed to be a little sick and weak.
At this moment, Ziyu asked as he walked: “Teacher, where is the delicious restaurant you said? Why haven’t we arrived after walking for so long? I’m so hungry that my heart is now on my back.”
Bu Yueyue immediately replied: “Eat, eat, eat! You only know how to eat! You just want to eat a lot after a few days of losing weight, don’t you?”
Fatty said unconvincingly, “It’s my own business to be fat or not. Why do you care so much? Anyway, you are used to the nickname Fatty. I don’t care if I’m fat or not! Eating food is the truth.”
“Hey! Saying you’re fat makes me gasp! Brother, I’m going to take care of your pig head today, and I’ll punish you not to eat meat at noon!” Bu Yueyue pouted and said with her slender waist crossed.
Fatty stuck out his tongue at Bu Yueyue and said, “Little thin mom, you are so good at managing things, who would dare to ask for your hand in the future?”
“Bah!” A ball of flame suddenly appeared in front of Bu Yueyue, exaggeratingly burning hot in the air. Bu Yueyue said with a black line on her face: “Damn fatty, who are you talking about?”
The sudden burst of flames immediately attracted a lot of talk from passersby. But Ziyu trotted all the way and hid in the crowd. Mei’er came over, hugged Bu Yueyue’s arm, and said, “Sister Yueyue, ignore him, there will be time to handle him in the future!”
Bu Yueyue put away the fireball, gestured at Ziyu who was in the crowd with his middle finger, and snarled: “Humph! You run fast, be careful not to let your sister catch you.”
After turning two alleys, Bu Wenle led them to go further and further, far away from the downtown area. They saw residential houses on both sides of the hutong, some high and some short, and the hutong at the foot was only enough for three people to walk together. Due to the high walls on both sides, the hutong was dark and there were not many pedestrians.
Mei’er hugged Bu Yueyue’s arm and whispered, “Sister Yueyue, where is the teacher taking us to eat? Why did we come to such a spooky place if we can go to so many big restaurants?” Bu Wenle was very familiar with it, and Xiao Meier wondered if the teacher would find a place to abduct and sell them.
Bu Yueyue said with certainty: “Since the teacher said that there are good places to go, it must not be wrong. Let’s just follow.”
Because Fatty was warned by Bu Yueyue just now, he stayed far away and followed behind everyone. Although he was also full of doubts, because he was far away from everyone, he couldn’t talk. Otherwise, he wouldn’t know what to ask.
After a while, Bu Wenle slow down, pointed to a house in the alley and said, “Here, it’s there, I haven’t been here for so long, I’m really afraid that this place will be closed, but it seems that we have another good luck today. Time to enjoy!”
Everyone looked in the direction indicated by Bu Wenle, and saw that there was a relatively open place in front of the alley, and a residential house was opening its door.
Maybe because it was the center of the whole hutong, there was a small square here, which could be half the size of a battle arena. An ancient locust plant grew on one side of the square, almost covering the entire square.
Next to Guhuai was the residential house that Bu Wenle pointed to, which was just an ordinary building that could no longer be ordinary. A low wall with a height of two meters and a gatehouse with a gray tile spire. Above the gatehouse was a triangular guise with the word “wine” written on it. Telling passersby, this was a pub, not an ordinary house.
There was also a small plaque hanging in the middle of the gatehouse, with the four characters “Monster Heaven” written upright on it. It could be seen from the jerky pen in the characters that this plaque should have been written by the shop owner himself.
After seeing the plaque, everyone didn’t know why, so they drew question marks in their hearts. Apart from the guise at the door, it didn’t look like an inn. Especially the strange store name, how could it be called Monster Paradise? Could it be that this was a place where monsters gather together?
Bu Wenle walked in front of everyone, pointed out the direction to everyone, raised his legs and trod through the gate. Due to the open door, they could clearly see that the courtyard was very spacious, several deep yards into the house.
A gust of breeze blew, and the smell of meat suddenly wafted in the air. Fatty smelled the fragrance, and half ran in. Angrily, Bu Yueyue shouted from behind Fatty, “Damn Fatty, stop for me.”
Fatty didn’t care about her calls, ran in, dodged directly to Buwenle’s side, and said to Buwenle. “Teacher, you can find such a hidden place, I really admire you. I know the food here by smelling it. It must be delicious!”
While speaking, everyone entered the courtyard one after another. They saw five large earthen stoves in a row in the middle of the yard. At this time, more than a dozen people were busy around the earthen stove. A big pot was steaming hot, and the smell of meat was constantly wafting out. Several people suddenly drooled.
At this time, a shop assistant came over and shouted to everyone from a distance: “Come on, guest! Please, there is a seat inside!”
Following the second storey through the two-story building, in the third building, the second storey chose a spacious room, pushed the door, and let everyone in.
