Chapter 24: Kira Sanctuary
Tao Ming hugged the two little ones tightly, feeling as if he was on a slide, surrounded by a circle of milky white brilliance, and slid forward rapidly.
Time lost its meaning, and I don't know how long it was, but a hexagonal hole appeared again in front of my eyes.
Tao Ming didn't resist, hugged the two little guys tightly and slipped into the hole.
When the brilliance disappeared, Tao Ming found himself standing in the center of a complex pattern about five meters in diameter. Looking around, it was a house, windowless, with a few round objects on the ceiling that glowed faintly, and there was no decoration except for the pattern underfoot.
Tao Ming turned around and saw a door in front of her, and hesitated to push it open.
When I was thinking about what to do next, the door was pushed open by more than ten centimeters, and an old lady with white hair looked through the gap, Tao Ming was startled, and the old lady put her index finger in front of her mouth and made a "shhhhh
The old lady looked back to the right and left, made sure that there was no one around, and flashed into the house.
After she closed the door, she circled around Tao Ming and asked, "Are you Sisi's daughter?"
Tao Ming nodded and looked at the old man in front of him seriously. I saw that she looked sixty or seventy years old, her hair and eyebrows had turned silvery-white, her face was slightly wrinkled, her goose egg face, willow eyebrows, a pair of finch eyes were blazing, her nose was high, and her lips were thin, which looked a little like herself. I thought to myself, could this be my own grandmother?
"You gave birth to twin sons?" the old lady stood in front of Tao Ming, her eyes full of smiles.
Tao Ming shook her head.
Nuo Nuo opened his mouth and said, "Patriarch, I am the White Tiger. ”
The old lady was startled: "How did you become human? Not old enough!"
Nuo Nuo became proud: "I'm a divine beast!"
The old lady hurriedly spoke: "Don't tell anyone about this!"
Nuo Nuo nodded.
Tao Ming said, "That, how do you know we're here?"
The old lady glanced at Tao Ming dissatisfied: "I am your grandmother, not this and that." I've come here a dozen times a day to check on you, and I'm afraid I don't know if you're here. ”
Tao Ming opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say. The old lady is still a stranger to her, and it is really difficult for her to call a stranger "grandmother".
The old lady didn't bother with her, and said, "It's not safe here, and you can't let anyone know that you've come back from the Templar." I will secretly send you out of the house in a moment, and you will call the door at the gate and come back openly. ”
After a pause, he said, "You can't wear this kind of clothes, I'll find a few sets of clothes for you first." ”
"Wait a minute, Banxia has already prepared clothes for us. ”
Tao Ming hesitated for a moment and asked, "How can you take us out?"
The old lady had a reassuring expression on her face: "Follow me to ensure that you will not be discovered." ”
Tao Ming pulled the Chaos Blood Silk from her wrist and handed it to the old lady: "This is what my mother stole and now I will return." ”
The old lady looked at the Chaos Blood Silk with a complicated expression: "It was originally left to your mother, and it can't be stolen." ”
Tao Ming's heart was moved, and he once again handed the Chaos Blood Silk forward: "It's more appropriate to hide us here and take it out." ”
The old lady still didn't answer, and said, "You can keep it for yourself, and if you go to the imperial city in the future, you can also have more security." ”
Tao Ming was sure that the old lady in front of her definitely loved herself at this time, and said, "Grandmother, I have something better, let's stay here." ”
When the old lady heard this "grandmother", she stretched out her hand and hugged her softly and said, "This is your daughter?"
Softly looked at the old lady in front of her, turned her head and asked Tao Ming, "Mom, is it called grandma?"
The old lady was happy: "You should call me great-grandmother." ”
Soft and sad face: "It's hard to say such a long name." ”
Tao Ming opened his mouth and said, "It's good to call Grandma." ”
Soft obediently shouted "Grandma", the old lady smiled from ear to ear, and took out a long-lived lock plug from her arms to Soft.
Squishy looked at Tao Ming, saw that she nodded before taking it in her hand, and said, "Thank you, grandma." ”
Tao Ming tied the Chaos Blood Silk on the old lady's wrist and said, "Grandmother, it's better for you to hold this." ”
"Back then, your mother was in such a hurry that she didn't learn how to control the Chaos Blood Silk. That's it, I'll keep it for now. With a movement of the old lady's wrist, the Chaos Blood Silk vanished.
Tao Ming tried to sense the chaotic blood silk in her mind, but lost contact.
"You change your clothes first, this is not the place to talk. The old lady admonished.
"Grandmother, what season is it outside, what is the right thing to wear?" Tao Ming was still wearing short-sleeved jeans.
"In late spring and early summer, it's late afternoon, and it's still quite hot, so just wear summer clothes. ”
Tao Ming thought that it was fortunate that Tao Banxia made several sets of four-season dresses for the three of them in advance, and taught herself how to dress and comb her hair, otherwise she would have to be blind now.
Changing the two little guys into dresses made of ice silk, and just combing the glutinous upper half of their hair into two pigtails, the old lady said on the side: "This hairstyle is not fashionable now, let me come." ”
Tao Ming handed the plastic comb in her hand to the old lady and changed into layers of summer clothes on the side.
The old lady said as she combed it, "This comb is very useful." ”
Tao Ming thought to herself, it must be easy to use, this is for the hairdresser Tony!
Seeing that the old lady had already held a bundle of hair in her hand, as if she was going to tie it up, Tao Ming handed over the disposable colored rubber band and signaled how to use it.
"What is this, so convenient to tie your braids?" said the old lady in surprise as she propped her two fingers on the band.
"Rubber bands, people from other worlds use this. "Tao Ming knows that there is a market for rubber bands!
The old lady gestured twice, tied her hair with a rubber band and said, "When you are free, you must take me to the other world to play, it is really boring to be trapped in this courtyard all day." If I hadn't been the patriarch, I would have run out to play. ”
No wonder his own mother dared to run away from home, and his grandmother was also a wonderful person.
Tao Ming was wearing layers of summer clothes, although the ice silk was light and cool, she still felt uncomfortable, and said: "Grandmother, in such a hot weather, you still wear so much, are you not afraid of heat stroke?"
The old lady kept her hands on her hands: "Who said it wasn't, one by one." ”
Tao Ming lifted her skirt and said, "Grandmother, it's okay if I don't wear dirty pants, right?"
The old lady shook her head: "When you come in through the gate, you will definitely kneel and kowtow, so that others can see that you are bare-legged, which is not appropriate." ”
Tao Ming had no choice but to take out one big, two and three pairs of white leggings, and complained while wearing them: "Isn't it hotter!"
The old lady has already begun to comb her hair softly: "I heard that new dresses have been popular in the imperial city recently, and some little ladies no longer wear obscene pants. However, Qiluo Town is a poor and remote country, and it will take some time for fashionable things to come over. ”
When Tao Ming cleaned up and saw that there were two balls on each of his soft and glutinous heads, which looked like Mickey Mouse, he asked, "Grandmother, this is the fashionable hairstyle?"
The old lady looked at the two little ones and said, "The craftsmanship is not bad. This is the hairstyle that came from the Imperial City a few months ago, and it's in fashion!"
Tao Ming slapped his palm on his head, he knew this, what to learn from Tao Banxia!
After thinking for a while, he asked, "Grandmother, doesn't it mean that only a married woman can tie up all her hair?"
"There used to be a saying, but it has gradually changed over the years. What is popular in the imperial city, the people below also learn the same. The old lady stared at Tao Ming.
Tao Ming looked at herself: "What's wrong with me?"
"My hair is too short to comb! I don't have a hairpin to embellish it, I knew I would have brought some, but I don't have a suitable one right now. ”
The old lady motioned for Tao Ming to squat down and began to comb Tao Ming's hair again.
Tao Ming smiled, took out the set of jewelry made of cold gold, and handed it to the old lady.
"This is what your father left for you, right?" The old lady saw that she had taken the hairpin, and tied up Tao Ming's hair in two clicks.
"Have you seen my father?" Tao Ming wanted to turn around, but was pulled before giving up.
The old lady couldn't hear the emotional voice: "I didn't see it, your mother sent a letter over, saying that she followed the little young master of the Qin family back." ”
helped Tao Ming put on various decorations, looked at the soft and glutinous and said, "It's best to wear some decorations for them, so as not to make others look down on them." ”
Tao Ming thought about it and found two pairs of beaded bands made of plastic imitation pearls, and put one on a ball.
Finally packed up, the old lady put Tao Ming and the three into the Chaos Blood Silk, avoided the people in the mansion, and quietly left the mansion.
