Time finally crossed the last day of 962.
On that night, in the imperial capital, in the shops under tulip Duke industry, "fireworks" invented by Dewey became the best-selling thing. Even the Imperial Palace came to buy several big cars.
In addition, Dewey also ordered the factory to make a batch of small fireworks suitable for civilian use to be sold to the civilians in the imperial capital.
Taking advantage of the happy season of the end of the year, a large number of gold coins once again flowed into Dewey's pocket. As for Mr. Dewey's top business CEO, Zach Jr., he is smiling.
That night, the sky over the capital, brilliant fireworks flashing throughout the night, as if the sky over the capital of the same day. The square of the palace issued a special control order, where the largest fireworks given to the royal family by duvette were set off. It's much more powerful than the "dawn forgiveness" that Dewey made to celebrate his mother's birthday.
Looking at the huge fireworks blooming one by one in the sky, Dewey did not go to the square to watch the ceremony at the moment. Even though countless aristocrats went to the square in front of the palace to see the ceremony tonight, Dewey said he was sick and had a rest at home.
He sat alone on the top of the highest building in the Duke's mansion, with his legs hanging over the eaves and a bottle of fine wine beside him. Even though the night was cold, Dewey seemed to be enjoying himself.
"Another year... Me again." Du Wei sighed, touched the bottle and took a drink. Then he laughed and said, "Happy New Year!" to the starry sky in the distance
There is a sense of loneliness in his heart. Dewey has been in this world for many years, although he feels that he has gradually adapted, and even has melted into this world. Even sometimes, he is used to being a "Roland". But the old Chinese saying is that it's great: I think twice about my family every holiday.
Only in this kind of festive time, the loneliness in my heart will flash out like a ghost, always reminding myself: I am different from people in this world.
In fact, when Dewey thinks about it now, this kind of feeling is somewhat absurd.
Originally, he thought that he was a pure person from the original world. But now I know that I have lived in this world for several lifetimes! Aragon. DUV 1... Hum.
According to this calculation, I spend more time in this strange world than I did on the earth in my previous life.
"Zhuang Zhou dreams of butterflies, which is butterfly, which is me?" Dewey laughed at himself.
In the distance, the streets are full of bustling noise, while in the distance, fireworks are blooming in the roar of the sky. The festive atmosphere of the street. I can smell it from afar.
At this moment, there was a sudden silence in Dewey's heart
Now that I'm in it, why do I have to be such a sad child?
Looking at the distant street... Everyone must be in a happy atmosphere now. Today, even the servants of the Duke's mansion are in new clothes.
Think about it here. Du Wei suddenly felt an impulse in his heart... Looking at the distant street, the flickering light of fireworks came faintly.
"In fact, how many people know. I didn't make this fireworks to make money at all. " Dewey whispered to himself, "I just want to make the world a better place. Try to make it more like my original world. "
When a person is more and more lonely, in fact, his heart is more and more yearning for those busy occasions. If you can't think of others, you will lock yourself up by yourself.
But Dewey
After his last sip of wine, he suddenly threw the bottle down from the roof, flicked his clothes and said with a smile, "stupid, stupid!"
Then he floated down from the roof. He landed on the ground and strode out.
When they came to the front hall of the Duke's mansion, the servants saw the master and immediately stood at a distance to salute him. However, Dewey, with a faint smile, walked quickly by. Walking to the door, listening to the crackling sound of fireworks from far away outside, the impulse in duvet's heart was even more vigorous.
"I'll go out for a walk alone. No one is going to follow me... "
He said that. All of a sudden, I saw an honest, even timid young man standing in the corner of the wall in the distance. Dewey laughed and hooked his finger. "Luffy, you're going out with me."
This lufeck, of course, is the "future king of Nanyang" from Nanyang. At the moment, he has to be at Duwei's side, suffering from the fear of Duwei all day long, and even being his coachman.
Looking at the fear expression on lufeck's face, Dewey's attitude today is particularly kind: "well, boy, don't talk nonsense, follow me out."
With that, he strode out of the Duke's mansion. Lufeck did not dare to delay, but obediently followed.
The fear of Dewey has been deeply imprinted in his heart. At this moment, the more kind Dewey is to himself, the more awe he is in lufeck's heart.
After two streets, they came to the prosperous place of the imperial capital.
Lufeck followed quietly. Dewey looked back at him and said with a smile, "are you afraid of me?"
Lufeck forced back for a moment. The boy's eyes showed no hidden fear, which made Duwei smile. He reached out and patted the boy on the shoulder: "good, I'm very satisfied with your performance. You remember this: it's normal for you to be afraid of me. It's no surprise. In fact, as long as you do not disobey me in the future, I will not punish you. Besides, I don't want you to be cowardly because of this. Remember, you may be the king in the future
With that, he gently pushed the boy, and then he pulled the boy to walk side by side with himself.
On the busy street, there are many young children dancing with fireworks. It seems that Dewey has made this new thing, which is very popular with people.
"Lord, master..."
Lufeck hesitated for a moment. A timid opening. Although he was afraid of Dewey, he was still young after all. Looking at the prosperity of the road and the fireworks in the children's hands, he could not help showing a trace of yearning: "you, today..."
"Why are you so gentle today?" Dewey gave a faint smile, and then he whispered, "Luffy, you're not Roland. Your hometown is in Nanyang, that is to say, you are a stranger. "
Then he whispered a word that only he could hear: "and I'm a stranger, too."
Dewey suddenly walked to the side of the road, grabbed the two children who were preparing to set off fireworks, and then took a gold coin out of his pocket with two fingers, smiling: "I'll exchange this for what you have, OK?"
Although the two children are very playful, they are very old. It's enough to tell the amount of money. Saw Du Wei one eye, can't help but eyes shine, busy not arrow nod. Without waiting for Dewey to speak, he quickly dropped his fireworks on the ground. Then he took duvet's gold coin, turned around and ran away.
"Here you are. Take it. These are all yours. If you want to play later, just play. "
Dewey sighed. Actually touched Luffy's head: "child, after all, it's just a child."
In lufeck's black eyes, there was a flash of something other than fear, and there was a faint touch.
Walking to the intersection of the street, looking at the path, Fick happily lit a fireworks, in the light of the fire, spurted out a gorgeous spark, Fick young face is full of excitement and joy. Du Wei sighed in his heart and couldn't help thinking: am I too strict with him on weekdays?
With this idea, in the next shopping, Dewey even bought a packet of candy to give to lufeck. The master and the servant, with candy in their hands, ate all the way.
Gradually, in the lively atmosphere of the street, the indifference in Dewey's eyes finally faded. He seems to have really integrated into the atmosphere. Lufeck finally unconsciously raised his head. It's no longer a shrinking face, of course, when it comes to Dewey. He was still in awe.
When they got to the end of the street, they turned a corner, and the next road was not so prosperous. Dewey suddenly saw that there was a tavern open by the side of the road. He couldn't help being surprised.
It's new year's Eve now. I'm afraid every family won't come out to eat and drink. Moreover, it's almost late at night. Such a pub is still open. Where can there be any business?
With a little curiosity, Dewey walked into the door of the house at random. When I came in, I found that the tavern did not look prosperous. The hall was very narrow and dark. From the perspective of environment and decoration, it was a little old-fashioned. It was a bit out of place with the festive atmosphere outside.
Even in order to save money, only two lights were lit.
At the moment, the empty hall, in addition to their own, not even a guest.
A teenager, dressed as a waiter, saw Dewey come in and welcomed him warmly. And behind the counter, a woman in her thirties rushed out.
Dewey withdrew his gaze and sat down in a chair at random.
"Dear guest, may I help you?" The young man wormed his mouth, but he didn't speak clearly. It seemed that he was a novice.
Du Wei laughed, took out a gold coin from his arms and put it on the table: "make something to eat and drink. It's cold enough. Make a brazier next to me."
When the waiter saw the gold coin, his eyes immediately turned round, but the woman who looked like the boss came over quickly. He looked embarrassed and said respectfully to Du Wei: "guest... You, such a gold coin, we don't have anything worth the price here..."
Dewey saw the other party's embarrassment: "it doesn't matter, you can get a little bit of what you have here, and the extra will be the tip for the waiter."
He could see from the facial outline of the waiter and the woman boss that they were either mother and son or sister and brother.
Soon, the food was delivered. The woman boss was very honest and didn't lie. There was really nothing good here. The food she served was just a bowl of stuffy meat and a plate of beans boiled with salt water. Besides, the wine Du Wei brought was also a poor crack wine. Fortunately, it was strong enough. The female boss seemed to be in a bit of panic: "there are only these things left in the shop. We really dare not accept one of your gold coins... Please..." Du Wei said with a smile: "nothing. Since I give this child a reward, I have no reason to take it back." Lufeck, who was next to him, spent the night with Dewey. Seeing that Dewey was kind to himself, he seemed to have more courage. He coughed and stood behind Dewey. He said to the woman boss, "you can take what our master gives you. Our master has a noble status. How can we take back what we have taken out? " Having asked the boss and the waiter to step down, Dewey pointed to the chair beside him. "Luffy, sit down and have a drink with me." Young one Leng, some can't believe of looking at Du Wei“ What are you look at? Afraid I'll eat you? Sit down and I'll let you drink with me. " Du Wei light words, Luffy gram quickly sat down. After eating something, Dewey was very satisfied with the food. The salted beans were delicious. And the meat is very stuffy and fragrant. It seems that the boss here has good craftsmanship. As for lufeck, he was just careful to stick his butt on the edge of the chair, but he didn't dare to reach out to eat. Du Wei smiles. He doesn't know how. Tonight, he suddenly shows some pity for this young man. Maybe he is in the same boat.
