The sky was clear after the rain. Chang 'an's autumn sky was clear and blue, and the fragrance of osmanthus flowers wafted through the streets. Hongjun kicked a sycamore tree hard, and the rainwater that had accumulated on the leaves for the night sprinkled down. He washed his face with the water, drank some, and plucked two sycamore leaves. He put them to his lips and blew on them.
"What should I do?" The Carp Demon was wrapped in a bundle, and it looked as if the sky had fallen.
"This place is so big." Hongjun rubbed his stomach and said, "Let's eat first."
"I don't eat earthworms anymore." The Carp Demon said again.
"I'll find you some meat to eat." Hongjun said, "We'll think of something later. Sigh, why am I so unlucky along the way? Eh? What's that? "
Hongjun was still a teenager after all. When he came down from the mountain and saw the colorful world, he immediately threw all his worries to the back of his mind. He took out some copper coins and went to the market to buy food. The Carp Demon reminded him again, "Why do you eat everything when you come down from the mountain? Aren't you afraid of getting a stomachache?"
Hongjun snorted and stepped on a chair in the restaurant. He held a bowl of noodles and ate it all. The food in the human world was much more delicious than in the Dazzling Gold Palace. There were fried, roasted, pan-fried, and all kinds of food. There was also braised mutton, multicolored flower cakes, and steamed glutinous rice. The Dazzling Gold Palace never made these kinds of dishes, so they could only eat dry food along the way after they came down from the mountain.
During the month on the road to Chang 'an, fortunately, Qing Xiong knew his temperament and prepared a lot of pearls. Hongjun followed the Carp Demon's instructions and exchanged the pearls with the passing caravans for silver, and then exchanged the silver for copper coins to eat. Although he didn't know much about the affairs of the human world, he didn't make too much of a joke with the Carp Demon's advice from time to time.
Hongjun was quick-witted by nature and learned very quickly after he came down from the mountain. At first, he didn't talk much and watched how others did it. As he learned, he learned quickly. Seeing people lining up to buy steamed buns, Hongjun observed them for a moment, then learned from them and bought two steamed buns with copper coins.
Hongjun curiously looked at the fire-breathing performers in the market for a while before saying, "What's so strange about this? When Father sneezes, there's a lot more than this."
Carp Demon: "…"
There were also people who broke boulders on their chests, wrapped iron bars around their necks, and climbed mountains of swords and plunged into boiling oil. Hongjun shuddered at the sight.
"Why am I torturing myself like this?" Hongjun couldn't understand, so the Carp Demon answered, "To earn money. You don't understand. Life is hard."
After the sideshow, they came to ask for their reward. The onlookers threw money into the bowl one after another. Hongjun felt pity for them, so he threw a pearl into the bowl. The Carp Demon was carried behind and could not see what was going on. Someone shouted, "Night Pearl!"
