Then, he became captivated by these wonders and couldnt resist wanting to explore. But the place was heavily guarded, and even a child with pure intentions had to give up. He wandered along the outskirts of Qingqiu Mountain, occasionally sensing a mysterious aura that beckoned him to step inside—— Come here, child! Others dont welcome you, but Qingqiu welcomes you—this is your home!
Thinking of this, Ah Jun began to laugh foolishly, and then unconsciously nodded to the mountain and the ancient tree to express his gratitude.
Because, this strange but familiar feeling of kinship, is really, very warm! In fact, home is not only a place, but also represents the people, but also a kind of emotion, a kind of true feelings from the heart.
These two sister cities are symbols of friendship between the northern and southern countries, so they can be passed without a passport —— and Qingqiu is the transitional zone. After bypassing Qingqiu County, Ah Jun arrived in Southern Jiangsu City.
According to the letter, Xiao Xi revealed that Ah Jun needs to find a food street named Su Dongpo here, and now there is an annual food festival in southern Jiangsu city there. Xiao Xi is participating in the competition there. After counting the time, he will meet his third brother who won the championship there.
After all, winning the prize was a boast of Xiao Xi, and for the talented young master of a restaurant family, it should be a sure thing. Ah Jun also thought he could do it.
Since childhood, Xiao Xi has been learning to cook at the request of his parents, and he is naturally cut out for it. He even has an absolute taste —— However, this is not unique to him. Xiao Xi said that his father said that there is only one in 10,000 people. Although the probability is very low, he is one.
However, Ah Jun could also become such a genius, as he completed the competition with his taste level —— certified by Xiao Xi. After winning first place, Xiao Xi will become the youngest star chef in Qilin Countys Guardian history, which is the highest honor in the junior stage that everyone in the culinary army envies.
Of course, there are two levels of master chef and master in the future, waiting for the challenge of this teenager. However, as for the subsequent honors, Xiao Xi, who was originally full of strength, became less and less concerned, and even showed reluctance!
In southern Jiangsu, food is the backbone of the industry and the essence of the culture, so it is also a place where experts gather and the competition is fierce —— Maybe Xiao Xi gave up because of the difficulties.
Carrying carefully selected gifts, Ah Jun walked with hopeful anticipation for his reunion with his brothers. The food stalls lined the streets of Su Nan City like a tapestry. After purchasing his presents at the gift shop, he couldnt resist pausing to gaze at the bustling metropolis from afar, savoring the lingering aroma in his nose before resolutely turning away and quickening his pace.
The food street Xiaoxi mentioned was located in the southern part of Sunan City, not far from Qingqiu. Ah Jun quickly found it. However, when he arrived at the main entrance, he still couldnt spot Xiaoxi. After lingering around for a while and checking the time, he finally settled into a seat at the rest area near the entrance, deciding to wait patiently.
Though a bit dull, it was rather peaceful. Ah Jun looked around at his sisters brother city in Zhebei, finding it just as splendid and lively. While savoring the specially made milita snacks from his sister, he couldnt stop feeling elated – these were far more delightful than the local delicacies inside.
During his downtime, Ah Jun noticed trucks clearing food waste at the event. They were hauling away tons of leftovers—unconsumed delicacies, scraps, and remnants. There were countless reasons for this, but every grain was hard-earned. Watching this, he shook his head. In his hometown, where planned economy rules still apply, theres little room for waste —— As the saying goes: Every grain is hard-earned!
The boy kept muttering to himself. When he saw those trucks again, memories surfaced of a violation case theyd solved together with Xiaoxi. It had been on the same food street, another afternoon, and those trucks looked off from the start. The two of them volunteered to follow them along the road—after all, it was just a routine trip—and sure enough, they spotted the problem.
After that, the two didnt take any more risks. They immediately called the police to gather evidence. With the childrens cooperation, the police cracked this major case. Of course, Ah Jun and Xiao Xi are still young guardians. While their theoretical skills could handle ordinary people, it was risky. So kids, dont try to imitate this! Safety comes first. Remember: such adventures carry dangers. Its better to call the police instead.
Enjoying the quiet of downtown, Ah Jun felt relaxed —— As he watched sleep approaching, a sudden disturbance broke the childs sleep... was it a giant monster?
—— Oh, it must be a giant monster, messing up the orderly life of the city, scaring people nearby to hide Xizang and scream.
While rare encounters with mythical creatures might occasionally occur here, the chances are slim. Those that do appear are usually minor misfits or individuals with special abilities – all easily tamed within moments. As for the current situation, it seems to have been absent for quite some time. Ah Jun knew deep down that this matter couldnt be entirely divorced from his own involvement.
He slowly stood up. After all, as a member of the guardian clan, Ah Jun felt he should do something, but his familys warning was still in his ears, making him hesitate.
Just as the crisis unfolded, heroes from the Su Nan City Gang appeared before the child, immediately engaging in combat with the monstrous beast. Shortly after, a uniformed figure wielding a cube-shaped device arrived at the scene. Recognizing the mans appearance, Ah Jun assumed he belonged to the Monster Control Bureau. This development seemed to clear his name of any involvement in the matter.
After putting his mind at ease, he found a sheltered place where he could continue to watch the war that should have been started by himself —— And Ah Juns intuition reminded him that he could not just leave, perhaps there was something else he needed.
The monstrous creature before him was alarmingly large. Ah Jun had glimpsed this species in a book, but the details were hazy. He muttered to himself, puzzled. Fortunately, his wristband activated its sensor, instantly displaying detailed information about the beast. "This is from the Su Nan City jurisdiction," the data showed. "Bear family!" Ah Jun thought, dismissing the threat.
Most of them are huge and muscular, with eight-pack abs and amazing strength and thick fur. In short, they are powerful monsters with rough skin and thick flesh. Its a shame to fight them with brute force, but since theyre so developed, what about intelligence?
