The noisy restaurant suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at the person who had just walked in, staring at the burn scar on that person's face. The burn scar on that man's face occupied the entire left half of his face. On the top of his head on the left side, there was no hair, only a bumpy scalp with many pits.His left eye became a terrible deep hole, isn't the eye socket just to hold the eyeball?How big the eyeball can be, how can there be such a big deep hole, it is incomprehensible.Around the deep hole, there are all warts one by one, the color is strangely bright red.The left side of his nose turned up completely, reminiscent of chestnuts burning in the fire, and they would suddenly burst with a snap.And if the left half of his nose exploded once, then his lips, the upper and lower lips, and the left one must have exploded six times, and the explosion disappeared, leaving behind strange-shaped scorched marks, half of the white teeth, It's just exposed between the burn marks and the burn marks.

Of course the left cheek is still there, fortunately no bones are visible, but layers of scabs and layers of new, messy-looking flesh are piled up one after another. One floor fell down. Such a terrifying face, even in broad daylight, is enough to silence the noisy restaurant. That person ignored other people's gazes, and sat down in front of a seat in the corner.The person on his left was still shocked, but the person on his right was astonished to see the right half of that person's face, with sword eyebrows, bright eyes, and extraordinary handsomeness. If you took a mirror and put it between his nose, Covering the horrific burn scar on the left half of his face, he was unmistakably handsome!

There were also some people in the restaurant who didn't look at that person, but just took a look and then looked away immediately.Some of those people are ordinary in appearance, and some are also very strange. The big restaurant in the water and land dock is always a place where the masters of the world, capable people and strangers gather and disperse. They are all thinking: He is here, she should come too!She is his shadow, everyone knows that he has a shadow: her; no matter where he is, there is his shadow! Sure enough, she showed up. There were some human voices in the restaurant again, and it suddenly fell silent again.This time, it was quieter than last time, and his eyes were focused on her who had just walked over.

As soon as she came in, her eyes flickered, and her eyes stopped on him, then, silently, lightly, with an intoxicating chuckle, with a slender waist that made people want to reach out and press it lightly, the wine The floor of the building was dirty and greasy, but after she floated by, it became a white cloud layer. Her beauty made everyone feel blurred. They didn't know which part of her to look at. After that, I couldn't remember what kind of beauty it was, because I was so nervous at the time, so nervous that I couldn't remember anything. She came straight in front of him, paused for a moment, her lips moved slightly as if she had a thousand words to say.The few big men on the side, already seeing their blood rushing, opened their mouths wide, and all of them shouted in their hearts: Just say it!As long as it comes out of your mouth, it will be smashed to pieces, and I am willing to do it for you!

But she didn't make any sound. There was only a strange sound coming out, it was a few young men who used to be in high spirits, but at this moment their eyes were staring straight, and they were almost foaming at the mouth, and the strange sound came from their throats. Several women were already shedding tears. They didn't know why, but when they saw the flickering eyelashes and the miserable light in her eyes, they felt their noses sour, and tears came out naturally. She stood still, he didn't even look back, she was his shadow, who would look back to see what happened to his own shadow?

The guy in the restaurant didn't know what to do, but the shopkeeper came upstairs in person, looked at it, and didn't know what to do, a young man suddenly yelled, stood up, moved the chair, and moved closer to her, his voice trembling: you don't always stand, you From the other corner, an old voice suddenly shouted: Shut up, get out, looking for death? The old voice was obviously because the matter was too urgent, so the yelling was intermittent, but the situation in front of her didn't seem to be dangerous, she turned her head slowly, and looked at the young man with a sad smile. She was obviously smiling, so touchingly, However, it was so sad that the hearts of those women became heavier and their tears became more urgent.She made a very low, very soft, very greasy voice: Thank you, you are so kind!

The young man was completely drunk, he opened his mouth wide, exhaled more breath than breathed in, and the old voice shouted again: Keep people here! But she has already made a move. The thin, short, flat, shiny dagger was sent into the young man's heart with the slam of her wrist and the ding sound of the two jade bracelets. She seemed to be afraid of getting her finger on the opponent's Clothes, immediately let go of his hand, the corners of his mouth were slightly bent downwards, full of apology, his voice was softer, softer, and more greasy: I'm so sorry, he doesn't like people talking to me

The young man opened his mouth and eyes wide, and fell down.It fell very slowly, but when it hit the floor, it made a heavy thud. She had turned her back and was still standing behind him. After a burst of confusion, more than half of the people in the restaurant left. He was still there, sitting, slowly drinking the good wine brought up by the shopkeeper with trembling hands. She was still there, standing behind him. Because she is his shadow. With him here, she must be there!
