Dragon Clan: Retired Death, goes to work to slay dragons

The room was quiet except for the chirping sound of the black cat.

It was the growling stomach that brought the two of them back to reality.

"Well." Su Xiaoqiang's face turned red, as if to explain her slightly idiotic behavior just now, she covered her stomach and whispered, "I'm hungry."

Jiang Shouyun dispersed the chaotic thoughts in his mind and looked up at the clock on the wall: "It's already seven o'clock. What should we eat tonight? Order takeout or go out to eat?"

The two of them didn't eat much all day, so they ate some fast food on the train and on the plane.

Su Xiaoqiang rolled his eyes and answered something strange: "There is still some rice at home, and there are pork and eggs in the refrigerator."

She had heard so many times that Jiang Shouyun was very good at his craftsmanship.

Jiang Shouyun knew that she wanted him to cook for her at home, but when he walked to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and looked at it, he was speechless and said, "This little thing is not even enough to make egg fried rice."

Su Xiaoqiang stood up and said Cong Shanruliu: "Then let's go buy some food and come back together."

"Then you have to wash the dishes." Jiang Shouyun said with a smile, "It's snowing outside, so change into thicker clothes."

"Okay!" The girl nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Just as he was about to get up and change his clothes, he was grabbed by his sleeve.

"Meow."

Looking down, the little black cat looked at her pitifully with a pair of blue eyes.

"Ouch." Su Xiaoqiang's heart suddenly melted, "You want to go too?"

"Meow."

"Okay, I'll change into something with bigger pockets!"

Jiang Shouyun smiled and narrowed his eyes, watching the conversation between one person and one cat without any obstacles.

This feeling was new to him and made him feel peaceful from within.

Couples who have just been together, even if they do nothing, even if they don't say anything, just quietly listening to each other's heartbeat and breathing, they can stay together for a long time and enjoy it.

Click.

When she came out after changing clothes, Su Xiaoqiang had already put on a bohemian-style camel cashmere coat and straight deerskin boots, and the white cashmere scarf Jiang Shouyun gave her was still wrapped around her neck.

Many people can't figure out her dressing style, but it's always eye-catching every time they see it. Those little sisters feel that she has a whole walk-in dressing room at home for her to compare and match.

"What do you want to eat?" Jiang Shouyun closed the door and asked casually.

"Can I still choose?" Su Xiaoqiang put Yueming into the pocket of his coat. Hearing this, he felt a sudden surprise and said, "I want to eat boiled cabbage, Wensi tofu, Longjing shrimp, Dongpo pork, and soft pocket eel." …”

"Are you having a state banquet?" Jiang Shouyun gave her a funny look, "I'm asking about Yue Ming."

"Meow~" As if he heard someone calling him, the black cat's little head came out of his pocket and meowed.

"Okay, then let's eat fish tonight." Jiang Shouyun replied calmly.

"I also like to eat fish." Su Xiaoqiang muttered unconvincedly.

After walking out of the unit door, the girl shivered subconsciously and raised her head slightly to look at the sky.

There was a slight breeze, and the snowflakes fell on the reddish face. They melted in an instant and slowly flowed down the cheek, from cold to lukewarm.

Looking up, there was a faint light in the sky that should have been dark. Snowflakes were boundless and falling in every corner.

In the distance, there are passers-by bundled up in tight clothes and breathing out the cold air. Some naughty children are still bending down to collect snowballs, with innocent smiles on their rosy faces.

There was already a thick layer of snow on the road, and the smooth snow layer was glowing with a cold light. It looked perfect. Su Xiaoqiang hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't bear to step on it.

"I didn't expect it would snow so heavily in this city." As soon as the words left Jiang Shouyun's mouth, they turned into mist and were blown away by the wind.

If you don't count the trip to Greenland, this is the heaviest snow he's seen since he was a kid.

This coastal city, which has been shrouded in rain all year round, is unusually covered in ice and snow this year.

Creak... creak...

Su Xiaoqiang finally took the first step. The slight sound coming from his feet was very interesting, and a child-like smile bloomed on his face.

"Let's go." Jiang Shouyun lowered his head and looked at his palms, smiled, and did not say anything bad about driving to buy groceries.

Because as soon as he went out, the girl couldn't wait to reach out her hand, and her little hand got into his pocket very deftly.

Jiang Shouyun didn't have time to dodge. He could feel the coldness of the little hand, so he subconsciously squeezed it.

Of course, a girl's hands should be soft and tender.

There is a word called catkin, which refers to the nascent buds of a plant. Later, it was often used to describe a girl's hands, which are soft, white, and slender.

Compared with men's hands, girls' hands are naturally smaller, and they have a special touch when held, which makes people unable to put them down.

"Is this considered my unlocked boyfriend permission?" Jiang Shouyun stretched out the hand he was holding in his pocket, smiled slightly, and squeezed it again.

"...Don't pinch it!"

Suddenly, he was lightly pinched. He subconsciously tried to pull away but did not pull away. Su Xiaoqiang pursed his lips and looked away.

I felt my heart pounding, the tips of my ears turned a little red, and I pulled up my hair guiltily.

"It's a bit cold. Let's walk faster."

But Jiang Shouyun had already taken steps, and she followed with a few quick steps, stomping her steps.

The fine snow was blown randomly by the wind, and it hit my face like a razor blade, making me want to hide my face in a scarf.

It’s time to buy a mask and wear it…

As I followed him forward, I thought to myself.

Su Xiaoqiang tightened the scarf with one hand, looked at the hands held by the two of them, and suddenly smiled silently after a while.

She remembered how many times she had dreamed of holding the boy's hand and walking like this. In the dream, the path along the river was full of fog, and it was impossible to see where they were going.

Even so, she still walked away contentedly and in high spirits, because she was holding that hand, a warm and generous hand. The key was that it belonged to Jiang Shouyun, the hand of the person she liked.

But at that time, the biggest physical contact she had with Jiang Shouyun was the touching of her fingertips when handing something over. Even this would make the always forthright little goddess blush.

"Humph, that's really embarrassing."

Thinking of this, Su Xiaoqiang murmured in his heart, then raised his head slightly and looked at the side face of the boy in front of him.

The cold wind with sleet blew past his face, carrying light and innocent snowflakes, surrounding him like an elf, whispering and caressing him.

A long black thin woolen windbreaker was like a bamboo bent in the wind, with strong joints, and the faint skylight cast a halo around his face.

Su Xiaoqiang noticed that his forehead hair was soaked by the melted snow. It was wet and slightly blocked his eyes, making her want to push the wet forehead hair away to look into his eyes.

How could she have imagined at that time that one day she would actually be able to hold this hand and be caught?

And he held on so tightly, as if he was afraid of leaving her behind.

Every step towards him used to be very long, so long that time almost stood still.

Now standing behind him, that back is within reach.

It seemed like there was no need to think about anything, no need to worry about anything, he would arrange everything, and all she had to do was follow.

This gave Su Xiaoqiang another hallucination while being satisfied.

It seems that the two of them are just ordinary lovers, and their life after getting married is probably the same.

This inexplicable feeling made her heart beat wildly, as if she had stuffed hundreds of little frogs into her and jumped vigorously, making a mess.

It's a pity that the geographical location of this community is very good, with various supporting facilities nearby.

The nearest supermarket is not far away, just a few minutes' walk away.

Jiang Shouyun quickly stopped.

"We're here." He suddenly turned around and met Su Xiaoqiang's dumbfounded eyes, and asked with a smile, "Is there something on my face?"

Su Xiaoqiang quietly retracted her gaze and looked at the cafe on the roadside.

Behind the floor-to-ceiling windows, the coffee cup in the woman's hand was slightly steaming, just like the warm breath coming from her heart.

The snowflakes gradually draped on her shoulders, so lightly that she could not feel any weight or cold.

After entering the supermarket, the temperature suddenly rose, and the chill outside was swept away.

Su Xiaoqiang couldn't help but want to wipe his hair, help him move his hair and wipe his glasses.

It's a pity that Jiang Shouyun's glasses are not completely fogged up.

"Calm down and calm down, the future is long..." Su Xiaoqiang muttered quietly and looked up at the supermarket in front of him.

There were a lot of people shopping for food in the evening. Although the supermarket was near her home, she was still quite unfamiliar with it. Usually her aunt at home did the shopping. She didn’t know how to cook but only ate. At most, she helped. Wash the dishes.

Similarly, Jiang Shouyun's cooking skills are indeed good, and he can also negotiate prices, but now that he is rich, the only criterion is that the dishes must be fresh.

In fact, simply cooking is not very tiring. What is really tiring and time-consuming is the process of buying groceries and tidying up.

"Boss, I want a sea bass."

"Is this okay?"

"Well...it's too big. It's a little smaller. It's enough for two people."

"Let me see...then this one?"

"Okay, please help me deal with it."

"no problem."

Su Xiaoqiang held Yueming in her arms. The little black cat, like her, looked left and right.

The fish swimming in the pool occasionally flicked its tail, and water droplets splashed on its face. It stretched out its tongue and licked it, staring directly at the fish, stretching out its claws to catch it, but was caught. Su Xiaoqiang held her tightly in her arms.

"Are you going to make steamed seabass?" Su Xiaoqiang asked eagerly.

"Well, steaming is easy. Do you have any taboos?" Jiang Shouyun nodded, took out his wallet to pay, and took the fish that the boss had killed.

The bag had some fishy water and felt slightly dirty when held in hand. Su Xiaoqiang didn't mind and wanted to help carry it, but Jiang Shouyun refused.

All she had to do was hold the cat and follow him like a little follower.

Su Xiaoqiang walked slowly and calmly. From the corner of his eye, he could see his strong shoulders and chest. Occasionally, he would meet the same couple coming to buy groceries.

The girls are responsible for choosing the dishes, and the boys are the waiters and are responsible for carrying the dishes. They have a harmonious and friendly scene. They are like the opposite of the lovers.

This feeling was strange, full of security and care, and made her addictive.

But neither of them noticed.

A woman carrying a bamboo basket was stunned for a moment when she saw Su Xiaoqiang. When she saw Jiang Shouyun beside her, her expression became even weirder. She immediately hid behind the shelf and took out her mobile phone to make a call.

………………

On a cold night, the Regent Hotel is still brightly lit.

Guests dressed in black suits and leather shoes, looking like successful people, got off the luxury cars one after another.

The waiters, thinly dressed but still smiling, lined up at the entrance of the hotel. Their red costumes were like a mandala in bloom, dressing it up as a bright bridge.

The guests' leather shoes stepped on the red carpet, as if they were striding towards the other side of the world.

Tables and chairs are arranged in an orderly manner indoors. The color tone of the entire hall is composed of gold and red. A group of guests are drinking wine, wearing fragrant clothes and shadows. The crystal chandelier is covered with gold powder and emits warm, almost sunlight-like light.

The scattered light flows on the pearl necklace and Patek Philippe diving watch, and the refracted bright spots make everyone look gorgeous and intoxicated.

The bright white moonlight misted the woman's face, and the hot golden lamp draped over the man's shoulders. The breath, sweat, rouge, and perfume melted, and the steaming heat visible to the naked eye rose to the sky. The cold wave was covered by the drunken and luxurious people. The smell washes away.

Those gathered at this feast are all those who can be called the upper class, and here they can get the indulgence and depravity that matches their status.

The organizers invited them to participate in this pilgrimage-like feast, and they all regarded it as a symbol of recognition of their power.

"Hahaha, I will definitely not give it away next time..."

Su Jianguo's face was red and he smelled of alcohol. He was joking with the crowd around him and waved his hands to tell others to go back quickly.

After some pleasantries, everyone dispersed.

In the end, he was left alone with the driver waiting outside.

"Mr. Su, do you want to go back to the hotel?" The driver stood aside and asked softly.

Su Jianguo stood on the side of the road, wiped his face with his hands, his drunken look disappeared, and sighed deeply: "They are really a bunch of bastards who can follow the wind. They looked down on me last month. "

The driver stood aside and said nothing, waiting quietly for Su Jianguo to finish cursing.

Because of the real estate problem this year, the value of coal mines began to depreciate significantly, and he also lost his temper.

As a result, there were twists and turns, not only because of the international situation, but also because of the appreciation of manganese ore and iron ore. The coal mine made up for its losses immediately, and even made three times more money.

Moreover, at next year's Asian Mining Future Development Summit, Su Mining was actually invited to participate as a local representative industry, instead of inviting the Black Prince Group as in previous years.

Su's Mining used to almost monopolize the city's mining business, but it was only a "little brother" in front of the Black Prince Group. How could it suddenly emerge and seize the Black Prince's qualifications without any warning?

This news instantly caused a group of guys with extremely sensitive sense of smell in the industry to swim towards Su Mining like sharks that smelled blood.

Mines are dirty, and people who are exposed to mines will become dirty. Those who are involved in the mining business will inevitably step on some of them, both overt and covert. The resources and circles in their hands are unimaginable to ordinary people.

They want to investigate some information. They use both white and black methods. It only takes half a day to dig out everything. Even if they let Norma collect local intelligence, it may not be as good as a local snake among local snakes like them.

However, at the end of the investigation, everyone, including the Black Prince Group, fell silent.

Because they found a corner of the huge thing behind it.
