Chapter 7 Invite Me to Dinner?
"What?"
"Help me find my queen mother and save her. She's the only thing I miss in this world. ”
"You're a princess?"
Tang Shu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "No, no, I'm just an illegitimate child." I'll know who I am when you find someone, and knowing it until then will only lead to murder. ”
"How can I save your mother?"
"You go find someone."
"Who?"
"His name is Yan Yu, and he will find you. He's the guy I trust the most. Now all I can help you is to give you my power, and I came here with this power, but there is more criticism and misfortune, but you can use it. ”
After Tang Shu finished speaking, she raised her delicate white transparent palm, and there was a string of delicate wind chimes on her bracelet. The wind from nowhere blew gently, and a series of crisp sounds swirled and danced into her ears. She felt sleepy, her eyes blurred, the figure became illusory, the impact of the waves in her body, something swimming around, it was a soothing and gentle breath.
"Don't reveal your aura unless necessary, reveal your identity, if someone finds out that you are me, it may be dangerous." The crisp voice faded like a distant wind.
Tang Shu opened her eyes. The blue starry sky and the mysterious, distant undulating sand dunes, as well as the familiar feeling of the cold of the desert night, brought her back to reality. But the sudden surge of vitality in her body told her that everything was not a dream. Rika sat down and meditated with her hands, and the movement was as if she had been born to come back. Ignoring her surprise, she adjusted her breath according to her senses, and she felt that the air flow in her body slowly stabilized. When I opened my eyes again, I only felt that the surrounding scenery was much more open.
"It's amazing!" Tang Shu couldn't help but exclaim.
However, when Tang Shu wanted to use it, he couldn't exert force for some reason, he only felt that a stream of air could not flow in the meridians, even if he could occasionally react, it was only a little light, like the wind, there was no power, Tang Shu did not feel anything abnormal. "Maybe it's because I'm not used to using it." Tang Shu thought to herself, she recalled what Tang Shu told her, and became more and more curious and confused about the true identity of her body, and a little inexplicably excited. If her current identity is a princess, there is also a seemingly noble queen mother...... Isn't this all a dream? Tang Shu pinched his face and smiled stupidly.
Even though she wasn't her mother, it was new and touching for someone who had never met her own mother. But she could also smell a hint of unease. Uneasiness about who you are may bring you murder.
"Yan Yu, who is it? What a strange name. This soft sigh fell in the vast desert and dispersed.
Dusk a day later. Tang Shu walked straight west, and finally came to a small town with some people.
The houses here are made of thick solid loess, and there is a thirsty atmosphere of life in the desert. The cyan smoke was ethereal.
Tang Shu touched her stomach, which was already flattened. Think about the many times before losing weight without results, and after coming here, the whole person has lost weight...... Although this is not his own body, it may be his past life, Tang Shu thought quite seriously.
After walking like this for a while, I finally saw an inn in front of me, and the red banner was written with a big eye-catching Yunmeng Inn on the red flag. Tang Shu walked in like a life-saving straw. Tang Shu looked around, the inn was a two-story attic, and several houses were open, as if no one lived in them. Only the two rooms on the far left are next to each other, and the doors are closed tightly, and the sound of talking can be faintly heard.
The shopkeeper was cracking in front of an abacus. When he saw her coming, he hurriedly greeted her.
"The guest officer is here to stay at the hotel, right?"
"Hmm...... It's even better to have food to eat......" Tang Shu said as she looked around.
"Naturally, naturally, there is, please wait, the little one will serve you some good dishes right away." As he said this, the door to the second floor slowly opened. A young woman's hair was tied into two simple buns, decorated with pothos-like ropes, very delicate and cute, and the hairstyle made the girl's appearance delicate and moving. She was helping a woman down the stairs.
The woman looked to be about thirty years old, but she was well maintained, her skin was delicate and silky, her hair was combed into a high bun, and her dress was very plain, except for a golden step, and her skirt had no superfluous decorations, and the color was neat white, but her walking posture and dignified expression showed her innate noble temperament.
But Tang Shu soon discovered that her eyes were unfocused. The empty one looks in one direction to the other.
"I can't see it......" Tang Shu felt a pity, because this woman gave her an indescribable sense of comfort and intimacy.
"Guest?" Xiao Er's voice made her hurriedly look away from the two of them, "What do you order?" ”
"Ah...... By the way, are there any cheap à la carte dishes? Tang Shu remembered that his money didn't seem to be enough, and he only found four or five copper plates at the bottom of the money bag.
Xiao Er immediately glanced at her with disdain, "Guest officer, are you joking with me?" That's just enough to buy a steamed bun! ”
"Forehead......" Tang Shu scratched her head embarrassedly, "Then it's a steamed bun......"
After saying that, Xiao Er smiled and went to talk to the two people who had just come downstairs. Tang Shu took the wrapped steamed bun and walked out of the inn, and ate it not far from the inn.
Before she was halfway through eating, someone suddenly tapped her on the shoulder.
Tang Shu looked back and saw that it was the shopkeeper just now, "What's wrong?" Tang Shu turned around and hid the hand holding the steamed bun behind her, if she had been in the past, she would have laughed at such behavior like a hen guarding food.
The shopkeeper looked at her embarrassedly, "That, that lady let you in......"
"What for?"
The shopkeeper shook the sweat towel on his arm, and replied with a smile on his face, "You will know when you go in, it's a good thing anyway." ”
Tang Shu hugged the steamed bun in her hand tightly and followed in suspiciously. The woman was sitting at a round table, and the greasy round table was out of place with her appearance. The girl stood by, wiping and wiping the round table in front of the woman with a light blue handkerchief, before standing beside her with her hands down. It wasn't until she saw her coming that the girl waved her hand and motioned for Tang Shu to come over.
The woman seemed to hear the voice, and cast an empty dull gaze in the direction Tang Shu was walking. Her eyes are like two unpolished pearls, invisible, but extremely beautiful. The appearance of those eyes made Tang Shu feel familiar.
"It's like I've seen it somewhere......" Tang Shu thought to herself.
The woman seemed to sense her coming. He said softly, "Girl, let's eat with us." The tone is very gentle, but it is not cowardly, but it makes people feel awe-inspiring.
At this time, Tang Shu was still dressed as a man, and the woman couldn't see, and she could know that she was a woman just by feeling. Tang Shu was a little overwhelmed for a while. And the shopkeeper and the beautiful and lovely girl thought that she was embarrassed because she was treated as a woman, so the girl couldn't help but remind the woman softly, and the woman looked in her direction emptyly, smiled slightly and said, "It's a child, my eyes are not very good, so the son smiled." ”
Where has Tang Shu been called like this, not to mention that this person looks very extraordinary. So he naturally arched his hand and smiled embarrassedly, "Forget the title of Childe, just call me Tang Shu." ”
As soon as her words came out, the woman's face suddenly changed, and she looked at her with a complicated expression through her godless eyes, Tang Shu remembered that Tang Shu had warned her not to expose her as "Tang Shu", otherwise it would bring dangerous things, and quickly explained, "Tang Shu, Yan Shu Shu's Shu." ”
Tang Shu looked at the woman in front of her with a solemn face with some nervousness...... I don't know why the two of them looked even more solemn after listening to her explanation.
Tang Shu pretended not to know anything and said, "Who is Tang Shu?" It sounds like my name. ”
It took a long time for the woman to put on a faint smile again, and there was a hint of sadness in that smile, and she collected her sudden emotion and said, "It's a good child, it's all right, aunt...... Childe, I just heard you say that you don't have any money, and I think you and I have an acquaintance imagining, if you want, you can have a meal with me. ”
Tang Shu was a little moved when she heard her say this, but her self-esteem made her wave her hand and said, "No, no, I'm not hungry!" ”
At this moment, Tang Shu's stomach came with a loud cry of hunger.
…… It's a little embarrassing
So two minutes later, Tang Shu obediently sat on the stool with bamboo chopsticks and pretended to be reserved. She saw that the girl was still standing with her head down, occasionally raising her eyes to look around, Tang Shu then looked at her, she was like a hot puppy, innocent and eager to say to the lovely girl, "You also sit down and eat!" "Admittedly, Tang Shu is a warm person, at least for now.
The girl's expression showed a hint of flattery, and she waved her hand very seriously, "No, no! ”
"Yes, yes!" In response to her, Tang Shu's voice was even more eager.
"No, no, no!" She waved her hand more earnestly.
"Yes, yes!"
"I really don't need to ......"
"Sit down, Belle." Eventually, the amiable woman, who couldn't stand it, ended the conversation.
……
Half an hour later, the plate was already empty. Naturally, Tang Shu solved it, the woman didn't seem to be used to the food here, and the girl was hesitant and didn't dare to put down the chopsticks, so almost all of these meals went into Tang Shu's stomach.
The woman looked at her tenderly, "Do you still want it?" ”
Tang Shu shook her head violently, and remembered that the woman couldn't see it, so she said weakly, "No need, I'm already very grateful for your hospitality...... Madame, you are so kind......"
The woman burst out laughing at her words, "No one has ever said that about me, and you are really not at all like my acquaintance. ”
Tang Shu was also interested, "What is your acquaintance?" ”
