Durin's Diary

Chapter 10 I, Du Lin, have a heart of stone

Du Lin set the alarm and woke up early in the morning. Hemer came back from the bird hole at the top of the corner early this day. She brought a reply to the letter Du Lin sent yesterday.

It was Anta's reply. The girl said that she already knew that Dulin had woken up, and she also asked Dulin to come over for a gathering tomorrow morning - actually, this morning.

After all, she had said before that there was a business.

After putting on fleece pants, Du Lin was choosing a sweater in front of the wardrobe when Anta's magical pet, a little astrological dragon, crawled out of the bird cave.

Hemer knew it, so he didn't make any move to protect Dulin.

It came to Dulin and put the mailbox in its mouth into Dulin's hand.

Du Lin opened the mailbox, took out the letter and saw only one line of words written on the parchment - I'm waiting for you at the door, the sun is nice today, are you there?

The core of this line of words is "Come quickly". Du Lin has known this girl for nine years, and he can translate her riddle even if he reads it backwards.

Thinking of this, Du Lin patted the little astrological dragon's head and signaled it to go back and report the news. The latter then crawled out of the cave again.

………………

"Master, what would you like to eat in the morning?" Xia Li had sharp ears. Du Lin was still walking on the carpet on the second floor when she poked her head out of the kitchen door, looking very sneaky.

"I'm going to see Anta. There's no need to arrange breakfast for me. You can eat it by yourselves." After Du Lin said that, he trotted downstairs.

"Be careful on your journey." Xia Li got on the footstool and took Du Lin's scarf and coat from the coat rack.

After putting on his coat with the help of Xia Li, Du Lin patted his little cat's head, then opened the door and walked out.

Anta's house was on the other side of the town. Dulin jogged along the cobblestone road. When he was approaching Anta's house, Dulin tidied his appearance in front of the mirror in front of a roadside shop, then slowly walked around the corner and came to Anta with a smile.

The latter was slumped in the big rocking chair at the door. Du Lin remembered correctly that he made this for his old man Ish, and then it became popular among the elderly.

"You're finally here." Anta sat up and looked Du Lin up and down for a while: "Why have you lost weight?"

"Is there?" Du Lin was a little curious.

"You've really lost weight. You must be hungry. When Hongyi came back, he said you were still getting dressed. I guess you didn't have breakfast." Anta said this and put his arm around Du Lin's arm. "Come on, I'll take you to the newly opened restaurant to eat Chang Tang cuisine."

"Have you forgotten the delicious food from Changtang last time?" Du Lin didn't care about the money, but he cared about being led into a ditch by this silly girl - last time she said there was a noodle soup shop opened by a Changtang person, but when Du Lin went over to take a look, he found that the boss's black hair was dyed, and his dark pupils were created by illusion. The noodle soup was not cooked well and the noodles were cooked apart. Moreover, when Du Lin and Anta arrived, because it was a fake Changtang person, hundreds of diners of various races fought with the boss and his lackeys and smashed the shop.

"This time he's really a Tang man." Anta said while patting his chest.

Listening to the thumping sound, Du Lin sighed helplessly: "Is this really true?"

"Trust me!!" Anta activated the ninth-level romantic magic: The Wail of the Little Beast.

Old Du Lin's heart was as hard as stone. He gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, I believe you. Let's go."

I was afraid that if I slowed down for a second or two, this little girl would drop her little pearls.

"By the way, where is the big business you mentioned?" Du Lin asked again as he took a step forward.

"No, you were in bed yesterday and I wasn't in the mood to play with them." Anta's answer made Du Lin feel warm in his heart.

As for the feast of the Changtang people that Anta mentioned, Du Lin soon saw it. The person was indeed a Changtang person, with black hair, dark pupils, and his hair was tied with a headscarf.

The clothes he was wearing were not like those worn in southern Thailand's history that Du Lin had seen in the museum, but they all had right-side lapels.

But it was just that coat, the shirt and pants underneath, and the leather boots on his feet that were obviously from Western Land. It must be that the original clothes were torn and there was nothing they could do about it.

The shop was small, just a cart, a big stove and a big pot.

Du Lin looked around and saw that almost all the famous gourmets in the town were there. They were sitting around more than twenty square tables, eating with their mouths agape and enjoying themselves.

"Two bowls of Sha Luo beast noodles." Anta raised his hand and shouted familiarly.

Du Lin followed Anta and sat in an empty seat. He looked around. It was said that Changtang was very far away from here, so far that it would take several months to get there by boat.

How did this Chang Tang person get here?

Thinking of this, Du Lin looked at the Chang Tang man again and saw that he was slicing the meat. At just one glance, Du Lin felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity - judging from this knife skill, my little brother, you must have practiced for at least thirty years.

I saw the noodle stall owner cut the meat into slices, then put it on the iron plate on the cart and started cooking it. Du Lin observed for a while until the noodle stall owner cooked the noodles step by step, paired them with fresh grilled meat, sprinkled salt on them and placed them on a plate.

When the food was served, Du Lin asked out of curiosity, "Do you understand the language of the grassland elves?"

"No, but I am proficient in language techniques." Mr. Chang Tang replied with a smile.

Ah, proficient in languages, this technique is great. Du Lin is even sure that as long as this technique exists, there will be no simultaneous interpretation in this world.

"Are you really from Changtang?"

"Yes, two and a half years ago, I landed at Everforged Fortress, from the Great Wasteland to the Duchy of Farol, and then to the Savoy Commercial Alliance..." From the explanation of this Chang Tang man, Durin learned that he went from the southern countries and then went back north. As a result, when he arrived in the Northern Kingdom, the money in his pocket was almost spent. In the end, he could only make money by wheelbarrow by himself and came to the Eastern Elf Territory. Now he is in Lublin to raise money for the trip back to Everforged Fortress.

"What do you think of the Western Continent?" Du Lin had never been out of Lublin in his life, so he asked this question.

"It's quite interesting. There are customs everywhere that you can't see in the East. The human race and the animal species are mostly similar, but the dragon species here are different from the dragon species over there..." When he said this, another customer came, and the noodle stall owner had to leave Du Lin.

Anta had already eaten half a bowl of soup at this time. Du Lin, who had never seen this girl eat so hard, tried to drink a sip of the soup.

The taste is really good, just the simple taste of noodles with salt to enhance the freshness, and then add the meat slices and fat, it is really a wonderful taste reaction.

After finishing his noodles, Du Lin took the burping Anta to pay and prepared to take a walk to digest the food.

Before I took a few steps, I saw three familiar faces.

The leading young man let out a sharp cry: "Anta! Don't run!"

Du Lin reached out and grabbed Anta, who turned and ran. He looked at her with some reluctance: "Your cousin is calling you, why are you running?"

"I don't have a cousin like that!" Anta was a little angry, then looked at the boy: "Kamien, didn't I say I won't take your job?"

Well, the tigress is showing her power. Du Lin is hanging high, waiting for the boy in front of him to perform.

What to perform?
Of course, he is about to die and still wants to make excuses.
