Chapter 7 Gift-giving
"Those who come are guests, there is no reason to turn them away, come in."
An ethereal female voice came from inside the door, and Zhang Yuan only felt that the moment the sound came to his ears, everything around him was quiet.
It seems that this is the case, and this method is exactly what I have seen in court before.
Zhang Yuan pushed the door in, and inside was a rectangular hall, and the stairs going down could be seen on the left and right.
There was a large table in the middle of the hall, and a woman was sitting at the table, looking at Zhang Yuan with a pair of eyes with interest.
It was still a red suit, with a pair of gold silk swords embroidered on his chest, but this set was different from the previous costumes, more like the kind of professional clothes that Zhang Yuan had seen before.
The sleeves were very short, and a pair of lotus arms poked out of them, one on the table, and the other held the woman's lower handle.
Zhang Yuan didn't know what to say for a while, but the woman spoke first:
"The Bishop sent you, right?"
Zhang Yuan smiled and replied, "He sent me, but I didn't come for him." ”
"Oh, who are you here for?"
Zhang Yuan took out a crystal ball the size of a fist from his arms, put it on the table, and said word by word:
"I'm here to give you a present."
After speaking, Zhang Yuan nudged the crystal ball and let it roll in front of the other party, the woman stretched out her hand and held the crystal ball, and said with a smile:
"What do you mean by that, isn't this a photo crystal?"
"Of course, but you should be more interested than I am in it." Zhang Yuan pointed to the crystal ball and said, "I only know that I recorded some content, but you also know that I have no magic power, so I don't know how to read what is recorded in it." ”
The woman smiled and clapped her hands, and a maid came up from under the stairs, walked up to the woman and bent down, and the woman whispered a few words to the maid, and the maid turned and went down again.
"I forgot to tell you my name, my name is Chun Mengya, and I am the current head of the Chun family." The woman played with the crystal ball with one hand and said to Zhang Yuan with a smile.
"My name is Zhang Yuan."
At this moment, the maid who had just gone down came up with a black box in her hand with a round hole in the side of the box.
Chun Mengya took the box, placed it on the table, and then pressed her hands on both sides of the box.
With a snap, the box opened, and Chun Mengya picked up the crystal ball and put it inside, closing the box.
Then she placed one hand on the box, and there was a glimmer of light on her hand, presumably injecting magic.
I saw a beam of light suddenly shoot out of the round hole on the side and cast it in the air, forming a picture.
Zhang Yuan saw that it was the scene where he proudly laid out his plan after giving him the crystal ball today.
Then there was the scene of the general and Yuan Jiacuo's business blowing each other, and then the picture turned into bursts of light and disappeared into the air.
It's quite magical, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but think of the holographic projection he had heard of before, probably this effect.
Chun Mengya was obviously a little happy when she saw the contents of the photo crystal, and said to Zhang Yuan with a smile;
"Looks like I'm going to thank you a lot for the gift, and with it, I'll have a way to kill that bastard tomorrow."
"It's just a gesture, I just can't get used to that guy, so I used what he gave me to pit him." Zhang Yuan waved his hand and said modestly.
Chun Mengya stood up and said, "You can stay here today, and the photo crystal will be handed over to me for safekeeping, and since you will be allowed to bring it here, there will be a way to recover it after you die." ”
Zhang Yuan said "um", Chun Mengya turned around and walked towards the stairs on the side, and Zhang Yuan also followed.
Going down the stairs, the second floor is a large open space with flower beds and many flowers and plants of different shapes.
Chun Mengya then introduced: "These are the plants that I have collected that can grow underground, how about it, it's beautiful, right?" ”
"Indeed."
The two of them continued to descend, and on the third floor there was a small garden in the center, surrounded by a circle of rooms, where servants were watering.
"This is where the servants live, how is it, is it okay?"
"Indeed."
The structure of the fourth and third floors is similar, except that the surrounding rooms look more ornate.
"This is the guest room, how about it, it looks good, right?"
"Indeed."
Chun Mengya turned her head, looked at Zhang Yuan, and scolded with a smile: "Are you only going to say these two words?" ”
"Indeed."
Chun Mengya turned her head, ignored Zhang Yuan, and walked towards a room by herself.
The two walked to the door of the room, Chun Mengya knocked on the door, turned to Zhang Yuan and said, "Take you to meet an acquaintance." ”
The door opened, and a small face poked out, and Zhang Yuan glanced at it several times before he recognized it as Chengge.
I've only seen a side face a few times in the cell before, and Chengge looked unkempt at that time, if it wasn't for Chun Mengya saying an acquaintance, Zhang Yuan wouldn't have thought it was Chengge.
At this time, Chengge was cleanly washed, but the scars could still be seen on her face, and she looked at Chun Mengya who was walking in front with some vigilance.
"Yes, what's the matter?" Cheng Ge said hesitantly.
Chun Mengya smiled and moved her body, revealing Zhang Yuan standing behind her, and when she saw Zhang Yuan, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"It's you, how did you get out?"
Without waiting for Zhang Yuan to speak, Chun Mengya said coquettishly: "Hmph, obviously I sent someone to rescue you, but you have such a bad attitude towards me and such a good attitude towards him." ”
Zhang Yuan scratched his scalp, he didn't know how to answer this for a while, and Chengge's face turned red all of a sudden, and he didn't look like he was arguing in court at all.
"Alright, let's go in and talk." Chun Mengya pushed open the door and took a few steps back to look at the two.
Zhang Yuan walked into the room, only to hear Chun Mengya's voice outside, "You guys talk slowly, I have something to deal with first." ”
The footsteps outside the door gradually faded away, Chengge stood barefoot in the room, Zhang Yuan stood at the door and stared at her with wide eyes, neither of them knew how to speak.
Soon Chengge's face turned red again, and he lowered his head and whispered, "Sit down first." ”
"Okay."
Zhang Yuanjian Chengge was barefoot, also took off his shoes, opened the door and put it outside the room.
Only then did he notice that the floor of the room was soft, but it was very elastic, like stepping on a mattress.
It's really extravagant, Zhang Yuanxin said, but it's really comfortable.
Chengge had already gone inside and sat down, and there was a small table in the room, and Chengge sat next to the table on the side of the back.
Zhang Yuan walked over and sat opposite Chengge, was silent for a while, and then spoke:
"You just asked me how I came out, right, I was released by that puppeteer, but I am not a person from him, you can rest assured."
Zhang Yuan noticed that when he heard the three words puppeteer, Chengge's body trembled slightly.
Probably the memories of the past have left too many shadows on her.
Chengge suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhang Yuandao:
"Why did you fall from the sky at that time?"
Zhang Yuan hesitated, although crossing is not his own hole card, but telling the truth to the other party like this, is there really no problem?
Chengge said again: "You're from another world, right?" ”
Zhang Yuan's face changed, he didn't expect that he didn't say anything, and he told the truth by singing.
Chengge saw that Zhang Yuan's face was not good, and hurriedly said: "Because you don't have magic power on you, and you are different from us, so I guess you are from other worlds."
You don't have to be afraid, there are a lot of monsters from other worlds here, and it's the first time I've known that there are people from other worlds who look exactly like us. ”
Zhang Yuan saw Chengge's somewhat embarrassed appearance, and wanted to laugh, this kid probably thought he had said the wrong thing.
He smiled and stretched out his hand to touch Chengge's head, and said, "Guess right, guess what my world is like." ”
Seeing that Zhang Yuan was not angry, Chengge also smiled, but soon lowered his head with a flushed face.
Seeing this, Zhang Yuan withdrew his hand, and he felt that Chengge was too cute for a while, so he actually reached out and touched other people's heads.
Chengge suddenly raised his head again and said to Zhang Yuan: "There must be no gods in your world, so you don't know magic." ”
Zhang Yuan nodded, and when Chengge saw that he had guessed correctly, his expression became a little excited, and he continued:
"Then if you don't have God's management over there, it must be very chaotic, full of bad people and monsters."
"Not really." Zhang Yuan said, "Although there is no god in my world, people are living happily and everything is very orderly.
Because there is no God, people have invented more intelligent laws, and unlike the laws here, our laws do not distinguish between commoners and nobles, and everyone is equal. ”
A look of longing appeared on Chengge's face, but then she lowered her head and said:
"But you must be very sad to leave such a good world and come here, right?"
Yes, Zhang Yuan was also a little choked up at this time, maybe he would never see his parents again in the future, they spent so much time raising themselves, but they left that world in a blink of an eye.
Zhang Yuan is an optimistic person, but no matter how much he endures it at this time, he can't help two lines of tears running across his face.
To Zhang Yuan's surprise, Chengge on the opposite side actually stood up, crossed the table and hugged Zhang Yuan, leaning his face on Zhang Yuan's shoulder.
Zhang Yuan also stretched out his hands to hug Chengge, tears came out of his eyes, and he whimpered quietly, and Chengge was also sobbing on his shoulder at this time, probably thinking of his past.
There was only a faint cry left in the room, and after a while, Zhang Yuan found that Chengge had no sound.
Zhang Yuan shouted twice, only to find that she fell asleep on top of her.
After all, she is still a child, and she probably hasn't rested for a long time.
Zhang Yuan picked up Chengge, gently placed her on the floor, and then took off his robe and covered Chengge's body.
Chengge didn't know what he dreamed of, and a shallow smile appeared on his tearful face.
Zhang Yuan stretched out his hand to wipe the tears on Chengge's face, and then found a place to lie down.
Boundless sleepiness hit his heart, and Zhang Yuan gradually fell asleep.
