Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 24 An Alternative Hero Saves Beauty

Letting Mai Xuewen into the room, Mai Xuewen put the things in his arms on the dining table, took off his down jacket and said, "here, these are the things I bought everywhere yesterday, enough for us to eat for Christmas!" Zhang Yuan opened all kinds of bags and saw that there were all kinds of things, and even tofu was bought. As far as I remember, there seems to be no tofu in the supermarket!
"Where did you buy the tofu?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"Do you remember the Chinese restaurant we went to last time? I bought it from them. It's their own tofu!" Mai Xuewen replied.There is a Chinese restaurant in Rimini, and the two of them tried it last time, but unfortunately it didn't suit Zhang Yuan at all, so they never went there again.

"Oh, so that's the case, um, then let's do it ourselves today and have enough food and clothing!"

"Yes, if you have any special skills, just show them!" Mai Xuewen said with a smile.

The two of them worked together, but Zhang Yuan was not very good at cooking, so he looked up recipes on the Internet, twice-cooked pork and mapo tofu. He chose these two Sichuan specialties. Mai Xuewen was already busy in the kitchen. When it came to cooking, The main force is him.

They were so busy in the morning, it took a long time for the two of them to come up with a meal, five dishes and one soup, except for twice-cooked pork and mapo tofu, which were made by Zhang Yuan, the others were made by Mai Xuewen.The two put the dishes on the table, and Mai Xuewen opened a bottle of red wine and asked Zhang Yuandao, "How about some?"

"Okay, let's have some!" Zhang Yuan stretched out his wine glass. He hadn't drunk alcohol except for the beer with his brother-in-law last time, but in Chinese, there is no wine without wine. Today is a holiday, so it doesn't matter if you drink a little, although The house they live in has no festive atmosphere at all, no Christmas tree or turkey, and even a little bit of Christmas-related things, but they are in a foreign land and do as the Romans do, so it’s okay for the two of them to drink some wine to celebrate the holiday.

Mai Xuewen poured him half a glass of red wine, poured a full glass for himself, raised the glass and touched Zhang Yuan, "Merry Christmas!"

"It's not Christmas yet, let's talk about that tomorrow!"

"It's almost the same, it doesn't matter!"

"Well then, Maggie, I wish you a Merry Christmas too!"

"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables!" Mai Xuewen took a piece of twice-cooked pork, "Well, the taste is not bad, like that!"

"This one, um, it's too numb!" He took a sip of Mapo Tofu, and quickly rinsed his mouth with red wine.

Zhang Yuan also ate it here. He tasted it and found it to be pretty good. Although it is not as authentic as his mother’s, the taste is not too far behind. After coming to Italy, a bird almost faded out of his mouth. Today he is very satisfied with the two dishes he made.He tasted the dish made by Mai Xuewen, and said with pouty mouth: "Brother Mai, your dish is too bland!"

"Haha, you don't understand, kid. Eating less salt is good for your health. Eating too much salt will increase the burden on your kidneys. The kidneys are the place where your body specializes in detoxification! If you can't get rid of the toxins, you're doomed!"

"How do you still understand this?" Zhang Yuan asked curiously.

"My family has practiced medicine for generations, like my brother is still a doctor! I know a little bit!"

"So that's the case, then why didn't you go to study medicine?"

"Study medicine?! I didn't think about it. I'm too tired. My head hurts from reading so many and thick medical books! I don't want to memorize memorizing like a fool!"

"Then you choose to study foreign languages?"

"Yes, I am a person. When I was young, I was restless and always wanted to run around!"

How old are you?When I was young!Zhang Yuan secretly smiled. "You chose Italian?"

"That's right, I choose Italian, which is a small language. I learned English and German by myself when I was in college!"

"Brother Mai, I really admire you, you are really awesome, you will not be afraid to go anywhere if you master these few languages!"

"Haha, you are talking nonsense, you are not afraid to go anywhere as if you don't know a foreign language!"

"What I said is true, Brother Mai!" Zhang Yuan said sincerely, and Mai Xuewen did not deeply understand Zhang Yuan's distress of not knowing a foreign language.

"Okay, thank you for your compliment!" Mai Xuewen picked up his wine glass and touched Zhang Yuan again, "But you are much better than me. You dare to venture out into the rivers and lakes when you are more than 16 years old. You are not familiar with the place!"

"Haha, I don't dare to take it, Brother Mai, I'm just a football player, and I came when I saw an opportunity! At that time, I didn't think it was a big deal to be unfamiliar with the place!" Zhang Yuan said with a smile, "I was lucky to have you , otherwise I really don’t know how to get through it, you must know that being a mute is the most uncomfortable thing for me!”

The two chatted and laughed like this, eating and chatting, and finally Zhang Yuan was already dizzy after drinking half a glass of wine. Mai Xuewen helped Zhang Yuan back to the room and shook his head. This drinking capacity is too bad, right? Well, well, cleaning the kitchen must be my own.

I don't know how long I slept this time, Zhang Yuan woke up wobbly, patted his head, still feeling a little dizzy, with this amount of alcohol, it can be said that he didn't drink at all, and he looked like this after drinking half a glass!

After sitting on the bed for a while, he picked up the alarm clock on the bedside table and saw that it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was time for dinner!He hurriedly got up, opened the door and walked to the living room. Mai Xuewen was watching TV. Seeing Zhang Yuan woke up, he said with a smile, "You're awake. You've slept for three hours. Your drinking capacity is beyond my expectation!"

Picking up the glass, Zhang Yuan took it and drank it in one gulp, "Oh my God, I slept for three hours?! I basically don't drink alcohol. Besides, look at my age, did I look like an alcoholic before?"

"Then you have to exercise!"

"Forget it! As a professional player, try not to drink as much as possible. I know a player named Best, who drank to death!"

"Hey, that's just an example. Besides, drinking less red wine is still good. It can soften blood vessels and prevent cardiovascular diseases!"

"Damn, Brother Mai, you can tell a good thing about drinking, you are awesome! Are you showing your profound knowledge again!"

"Okay, okay, okay, I won't say anything. Anyway, it's okay for you to drink less!" Mai Xuewen said helplessly, "Is this just dinner?"

"I want to go out for a walk, it's so boring to stay at home all day!"

"It's boring outside. Tonight is Christmas Eve. Everyone is at home. The street is very deserted!"

"Ah, I thought it should be very lively, so let's go out for a walk too, let's go, Brother Mai, we two brothers should take a walk!" Zhang Yuan still wanted to go out for a walk to see what is different about Christmas.

Mai Xuewen had no choice but to put on his down jacket and go for a walk outside with Zhang Yuan. It was indeed deserted outside, but it was not without people. It was not time for dinner yet, and there were still many pedestrians hurrying to and fro on the road.

The two walked and chatted, and before they knew it, it was getting dark, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road. Two drunk men stumbled towards them, and it was too late for them to avoid it. When a drunk man was about to touch them, he became extremely agile, and held them against each other with a sharp object, it must have been a knife!

Zhang Yuan was stunned, he had never encountered such a thing before, he was a little unconscious, and blurted out in Mandarin, "What are you doing?!"

"Shut up!" Holding the knife against him, the gangster handed the knife forward a little bit. Zhang Yuan felt that the knife had pierced through the thick down jacket. In the alley.

Being dragged into the alley, Mai Xuewen signaled Zhang Yuan to calm down with his eyes. It seemed that he had been robbed before. Mai Xuewen said in Italian: "Hey, friends, you can ask for money, it's all in our wallet! Put it in your coat bag!"

"Haha, these two yellow-skinned monkeys are really interesting!" The two gangsters laughed wildly, and they searched Zhang Yuan and Mai Xuewen with their free hands, and found the wallet, but neither of them took it with them. What money comes out, Zhang Yuan has more than [-] euros, and Mai Xuewen only has [-] euros plus some coins.

Zhang Yuan didn't dare to move, and joked that the two were tall, big and thick, he was not an opponent, and the opponent had a knife, so it's more important to save his life!

When the two gangsters got the money, they took out a rope and tied the two people together, stuffed two socks in their mouths, and pushed the two people to the ground, planning to leave.But just when they were about to leave, a girl's voice sounded at the entrance of the alley, "Stop!"

Zhang Yuan and Mai Xuewen turned their heads to look at the same time, a girl was standing at the entrance of the alley, carrying a bag of things like Christmas gifts, wearing red winter clothes, light blue jeans, and a pair of flat boots , with long hair shawl, and a woolen hat over his head.

"Haha, little girl, don't mind your own business!" A robber who was about to turn around and leave turned around and flashed his dagger and said with a sinister smile.

The other turned around and grabbed his companion, whispering, "Let's go, someone will come later!"

The two quickly wanted to flee the scene. Seeing that the two robbers wanted to run away, the girl in red immediately put down the plastic bag in her hand, and rushed up with one stride. The speed was unexpectedly fast, and she reached the two robbers. Suddenly, the two robbers were directly knocked to the ground by her, completely unable to resist!
Zhang Yuan and Mai Xuewen were dumbfounded, this girl is too amazing!

After subduing the two gangsters, the girl untied the ropes on their bodies and tore off the socks that were sealed on their mouths. The two quickly expressed their thanks!

The girl ordered them to call the police, and tied up the two robbers with ropes on their own. After a while, the police came, with a face full of reluctance, but there was nothing they could do. Go back to the police station and record the statement.

After leaving the police station, Mai Xuewen took the lost and recovered [-] euros and said to the beautiful girl, "Beautiful lady, thank you very much for your help! My name is Mai Xuewen, and this is Zhang Yuan!"

"Oh, hello, my name is Docilia Rossi! Are you Chinese?"

The two nodded in unison. Miss Rossi looked contemptuously and said, "The Chinese don't know kung fu yet? They were subdued by two robbers?!"

"Uh, Miss Rossi, not every Chinese is good at kung fu!" Mai Xuewen said awkwardly.Rimini is also a tourist city. Every year, Chinese people come here for tourism and business. Does this lady know Chinese people who know kung fu? !

"Oh, I thought every one of you Chinese would do it!" Miss Rossi thought so.

"That's not the case. Many of us Chinese don't know kung fu. Thank you very much this time. Can I treat you to dinner another day?" Mai Xuewen asked.

"Oh, don't take it to heart, that's it, I have to go! My family is still waiting for me to go back!" Miss Rossi politely declined, and then left.

Mai Xuewen looked at Miss Rossi's back and didn't move for a long time, "Hey, what are you looking at, can't you move when you see a beautiful woman?" Ask that Miss Rossi.

"No, I didn't see anything!" Mai Xuewen was taken aback.
