45.The 45th food (catching insects)
Because Bai Xuyao guessed that Doubao successfully turned into a yin-yang dog after absorbing his soul power, so after learning that Doubao was missing, he calmed down Shen Qing as soon as possible, and began to try to sense the direction of Doubao, but fortunately, although it was vague, the general direction was correct, so one person and two ghosts went out again to look for the bear child paper without taking a breath.
A huge S city, it is not easy to find a child in a short period of time only by relying on the general direction, not to mention whether there are any monsters in the city that have not been caught, Cui Yu also mentioned that there are still a few ghosts possessed by the human body, and there is no trace, for a child in Doubao, such a situation, where is the safe place? Every time he thinks of this, Shen Qing can't calm down.
Unconsciously, they actually passed through most of the city, this area is called Kumho District, not far from Nanxing District, is the location of the first middle school in S City, surrounded by many high-end communities, department stores and cinemas, the catering industry has also developed well, as if it has developed into an independent business district. When they arrived here, Bai Xuyao couldn't sense the breath of the bean bag, so they could only look for it nearby.
Under the notice of the whole city on alert, so the desertion of this place can be understood, Shen Qing walked through the streets and alleys, and his spiritual power has been extended to the limit, exploring around, he still did not find the figure of the bean bag, and Cui Yu also walked around the city's No. 1 Middle School, shook his head after coming out, and finally only the community around the school remained.
There are three communities here, the distance between them is relatively far, and the greening is done well, and one person and two ghosts are looking for it separately. Shen Qingjin's community is the smallest one, the farthest away from the school but therefore the most quiet, the center of the community built an artificial lake, around the pavilion water corridor, flowers wrapped around the corridor, it is a good place to enjoy the cool rest, in the community gate can peep a corner. The housing area is not dense, with the artificial lake as the center, far or near, and the architectural style is ancient.
Shen Qing walked in it, feeling that this community was too quiet, and after walking for a long time, he didn't meet anyone, and the strange thing was that the picture from the spiritual power of Tong Guò became more and more blurred as he went deeper, which disturbed Shen Qing's observation, so he simply took back the spiritual power, and walked around the artificial lake, and found that there was a faint aroma coming from the residential area, which was the smell of food and soup.
Shen Qing followed the fragrance and walked in, and unexpectedly saw the figures, all of them stood quietly in place, lined up, and after a long time, they would move a few steps forward, Shen Qing felt that this picture was familiar, and walked forward, and saw Yun Niang's figure, and the destination of these people queuing up was Yun Niang soup restaurant, which was exactly the same as the decoration style in the virtual world, in the virtual world, the location of Yun Niang soup restaurant did not need to pass through most of the city, so it was reasonable to see a physical store in this place.
Observing the expressions of several people in the team, Shen Qing silently retreated to the end of the line, and wanted to leave by the cover of the crowd, but unfortunately, Yun Niang, who greeted the guests at the door, found Shen Qing's figure first, and greeted him with small steps, "Is it Shen Qing?" ”
Shen Qing stepped forward helplessly and said with a smile, "I was just passing by, and I didn't want to disturb you." ”
Yun Niang covered her mouth and smiled, "Why be so polite, they are all acquaintances, come in with me." ”
followed Yun Niang into the hall, the strange fragrance lingering on the tip of her nose was worse than in the virtual world, Shen Qing covered her heart, her face was a little ugly. Yun Niang looked at the crowded appearance of almost full seats in the store, and stroked the green silk hanging between her temples, "It's my fault, I forgot that there is no place in this store, it's better to go to the inner room with me, my children are also inside, and they are restless eating and are shouting about being bored." ”
"Child, it turns out that Yun Niang is already married and has children?" Shen Qing clenched his hand into a fist and put it under his nose and coughed lightly.
"No, I picked it up, my husband abandoned me, Yun Niang has been looking for him, how can there be a child......" Yun Niang's eyebrows were sad, with a touch of haggardness.
"I'm sorry. Shen Qing narrowed his eyes to hide the coldness in his eyes, "Let's go to the inner room, trouble Yun Niang." ”
Yun Niang took Shen Qing through the hall and walked to the inner room, when Shen Qing's footsteps were far away, the silence in the hall was restored, these dozens of people surrounded the table, there was no conversation, and there was no joy or anger on their faces, only a pair of black eyes blinked from time to time, and the hands were mechanically doing the action of picking vegetables and chewing, and the dishes and chopsticks did not make any sound when they touched each other, as if an absurd black and white mime, and the fragrant dishes on the table were the only colors.
There is a small courtyard between the inner room and the hall, there is a dead tree in the courtyard, and the flower platform is also bare, not a single flower or grass, but full of sealed jars and jars, layer upon layer, Yun Niang noticed where Shen Qing's line of sight was, and explained in a soft voice, "This jar jar is my treasure for many years, if you are interested, Yun Niang is willing to let you take a few looks." ”
"No need. After Shen Qing rejected Yun Niang's kindness, he lowered his head and followed behind Yun Niang silently, no longer looking around.
After a while, Yun Niang stopped in front of a wooden carved door, "Xiao Wei, Yun Niang brought a friend to see you and opened the door." With that, Yun Niang pushed the door open, Shen Qing took two steps forward, and her eyes looked inside for a moment. This is a very simple room, the wooden bed against the wall, hung with mosquito nets, the adjacent wooden windows are half open, only a little light is through, and then there is a wooden table and a few wooden benches in the middle of the house, and there are a few plates on the wooden table, only the residual juice remains at the bottom of the plate, but the fragrance has always remained in the air, and in order to disperse, Shen Qing's chest is stuffy, and he tries his best to see the black shadow shrinking in the corner of the bed through the mosquito net.
Yun Niang took the lead in and cleaned up the plates on the table, "Shen Qing come in, our Xiaowei is more introverted, and he likes to hide when he sees strangers, I'll go and prepare some food, you say hello to Xiaowei first, I'll come in a while." ”
Shen Qing agreed, and after making sure that Yun Niang was leaving, he slowly came to the bed, but he did not eagerly lift the mosquito net, but only called, "Xiao Wei?"
The black shadow in the mosquito net moved, and at the same time, an unfamiliar sound of grinding teeth reached Shen Qing's ears, and he couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart, this is not a bean bag, but after he entered the restaurant, he clearly felt that the bean bag was here, so who is this child? Shen Qing took two steps back vigilantly, secretly summoned both Chuanwu and Blood Vine, and wrapped them around his arm, and then asked in a low voice again, "Xiao Wei?"
"I'm hungry ......" was a very hoarse voice, not at all like a child's voice, but like a little old man with a wounded throat, sandpaper rubbing against the wall, muffled to his ears.
Shen Qing casually took out a tomato from his pocket and threw it on the bed, but the tomato the size of a child's fist rolled around on the wooden bed a few times, and only stopped when it touched the hanging mosquito net, and after a moment of silence, the slender black shadow suddenly flickered in sight, and the tomato was gone. The corners of Shen Qing's mouth hooked, "You answer my question, and I will continue to give you something to eat." ”
“…… Good. ”
"See a chubby child?"
"I had a new friend today, but he was going to eat me, so I threw him away. Xiao Wei's words are full of childlike innocence and cruelty, because in his world, there is no concept of the word cruelty at all, whether it is to himself or to others.
Shen Qing's back was cold for no reason, but Xiao Wei couldn't get the fruit that Shen Qing said for a long time, so he brought the mosquito net curtain, spread his palm at Shen Qing, and asked for his reward, "Fruit." ”
Xiao Wei looks like a deformed big-headed doll, no hair, a very small face, it seems that the big eyes are more and more terrifying, the body is very thin, the small skeleton seems to be only wrapped in a layer of wrinkled skin, there is no extra meat, but his blood vessels are much larger than ordinary people, and the blood vessels and veins protrude under the skin, like a net that cannot pass through the wind traps him, and it seems that he can see the blood flowing in the blood vessels through the light.
Shen Qing took out a pear from his pocket again, Xiao Wei needed two hands to hold it, after getting the fruit, Xiao Wei shrank in again, and the sound of rustling sounded, at the same time, Yun Niang came over with a tray, Shen Qing sat back on the wooden bench, and waited for Yun Niang's arrival with a quiet face.
Yun Niang put the tray on the table, rolled up the slightly wide sleeves, revealing her slender wrist, even if it was a simple action of picking up the dishes in the tray and putting them on the table, it was also elegant and graceful, only the slightly upturned little finger was dyed bright red, which was a little incompatible with Yun Niang's temperament. Suddenly, three dishes and one soup were placed on the table, Yun Niang also sat down, and introduced the dishes with a smile, "This is Yun Niang's treasure, this is not for sale, it is rare for Shen Qing to come, I will cook some." She pointed to the delicate bone dish beside her, on which a row of slices of sauce was neatly stacked, drizzled with a dark red sauce. With a twist of his wrist, he pointed to the bowl of tender meat soup in front of Shen Qing, "Egg flower tender meat soup, a good product to fight fatigue, is my recently developed new dish, it is very popular, the tender meat is chopped and wrapped in smooth egg flowers, soft and fragrant, and children also like to eat it." ”
"This steamed chicken with red dates and astragalus, you have already tasted it, I won't say more, but this soup, Cordyceps flower keel soup, enhances immune function, you didn't taste it last time, this time I specially served some. ”
Shen Qing's eyes swept over these dishes with Yun Niang's introduction, and finally returned to the steamed chicken he had eaten, and the difference between the raw materials of the two times could be detected from the smell, but Shen Qing's stomach still twitched, his lips were pursed tightly, and his light-colored eyes, which had always been calm, were dyed with a fierce color, and when Yun Niang pushed those dishes to Shen Qing and beckoned him to eat quickly, Shen Qing raised his hand and directly lifted the table, at the same time, a sharp sound of breaking the air sounded, and the alien plants wrapped around his arm had already attacked Yun Niang, the soft leaves became hard, and the stems were as sharp as blades, which were enough to cut Yun Niang into foam at extreme speed, and the dense spikes on the blood vines were like thousands of greedy mouths, want to suck the sweet and delicious blood.
Under the attack of Chuanwu and Blood Vine, Yun Niang couldn't avoid it, but showed a weird smile, "Your son likes those dishes very much, it's a pity......" Before the words fell, Yun Niang's body was torn to pieces, and then turned into nothingness, but it was an illusion, and then looked at the wooden bed, Xiao Wei was gone.
Shen Qing's hands clenched into fists, and his joints turned white, "Damn......!
