Chapter 29: Midsummer
In the deep darkness, Meng Yan gradually sensed a faint fragrance wafting in. Slowly I opened my eyes and found myself on a soft bed. A wave of joy welled up in my heart, and then I heard a voice full of surprise: "Childe, you are finally awake!" ”
A pair of eyes full of worry appeared in front of him, it was Ouyang Mingzhu.
Meng Yan gently stroked his forehead: "How long have I been in a coma?" ”
Ouyang Mingzhu said softly: "It's not a long time, son, you have suffered from excessive blood loss, plus that ...... The wound of that villain was too exhausting. Childe's kindness makes Mingzhu grateful, from now on, Mingzhu will be devoted to repay, please rest assured to recuperate. Wait until tomorrow, we'll ......."
However, she did not notice a trace of shyness on the girl's face. Meng Yan heard the voice of the system again at this time.
"The host has been approved by the Mandate of Heaven, and from this moment on, you will be on a mission to change your destiny, please take advantage of it. The three absolute rules will be the limits. ”
"I see, don't keep talking about those rules." Meng Yan interrupted a little impatiently, "Now tell me, what is the next task?" ”
The system responded: "There are no more tasks." ”
Meng Yan was a little surprised: "How can there be no task?" Is it because the time has not yet come, so not for the time being? ”
The system explains: "Not really, the previous task was a task that gave the host qualification, and you were recognized after completion. There will be no new tasks in the future. ”
Meng Yan wondered in his heart: "What does this mean?" Can you elaborate on that? Shouldn't I be able to use that time hand again? ”
He had just noticed that the two hands and the countdown that had been in front of his gaze were gone.
The system further states: "From now on, the host will have more freedom and you will be able to choose what you want to change." Regarding the ability to locate characters and display time, the host can freely summon them according to their minds. The restriction of character targeting is that if the target appears outside of the story, you must have seen it in person and know its real name. ”
Meng was in a good mood, and the system continued: "Now that all the information has been explained, until the mission is over, I will no longer interfere." Break a leg. ”
Meng Yan was a little depressed, what is the "end of the mission"? The system, like Destiny, always speaks ambiguously.
"Childe? Are you okay? Ouyang Mingzhu's hand shook in front of Meng Yan, and the blank expression on his face when talking to the system made Ouyang Mingzhu a little worried.
"I'm fine, just I've lost a lot of blood and I'm a little dizzy. Belch...... Where's you, miss? Meng coughed dryly, and then found that he was half snuggled in Ouyang Mingzhu's arms, and hurriedly broke free.
"Hmm...... Li Jiangliu had just left. Meng asked about Li Jiangliu's whereabouts.
A trace of resentment flashed in Ouyang Mingzhu's eyes: "He left just now." Just now I thought he was bad for you, which made Mingzhu very worried. ”
Meng asked tentatively, "That...... Do you know that he ...... you"
Ouyang Mingzhu hurriedly interrupted: "That's just his wishful thinking." Mingzhu didn't expect that the beggar he saved at the beginning turned out to be such a person, if he had known about today's events, Mingzhu would never have paid attention to him. Childe, didn't you faint just now? How do you know ......?"
Meng Yan felt a little headache, and secretly complained about the destiny of heaven, obviously Li Jiangliu had already made a thorough explanation, looking at Ouyang Mingzhu's attitude, the situation became quite complicated. However, now is not the time to rush to solve it, and his most pressing problem is: hunger.
The stomach sounded at the right time, and Ouyang Mingzhu couldn't help laughing when he heard it, but for fear of angering Meng Yan, he had to bend his crescent-like eyes.
Ouyang Mingzhu smiled shyly and said playfully: "When we meet, why don't you let you be the east and invite your son to share a delicious meal?" "I can't help but think of the words at the city gate.
Meng Yan's heart moved, remembering the scene when Ouyang Mingzhu invited him to dinner. He deliberately jokingly imitated the tone of the day: "Miss Xie's virtue of giving food will be rewarded in the coming day." ”
I thought that Ouyang Mingzhu would pick up the sentence "It's just a meal, no need to thank you", but her answer was unexpected: "Childe's heart is commendable, although it is a meal, he is grateful and deeply admired." ”
Meng Yan was a little embarrassed, he thought for a while, and said self-deprecatingly: "Miss has won the award, but the younger brother is really a shallow learner." ”
Ouyang Mingzhu shook her head slightly, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, and she seemed to remember Li Jiangliu's matter again. She said in a solemn tone: "Rather than associate with some treacherous people, Childe's character is really enough to make him ashamed. With that, she left with a complicated expression.
Meng Yan sighed secretly, the first impression didn't seem to be very good, and Li Jiangliu seemed unlikely. He hurriedly interrupted Ouyang Mingzhu's thoughts: "Miss, about the matter of eating......
Ouyang Mingzhu came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I'll bring it for you, and you can return it...... Do you still call me Miss? She blushed slightly and left the room.
Meng Yan was a little puzzled: "If you don't call her Miss, what is it called?" Girl? How do you feel the same as the girl just now? ”
He couldn't help but think of the girl in purple, and a sense of loss welled up in his heart: "I don't know where she is now, where should I go to find her?" If only I knew her name, alas, I should have asked the heavens just now, at least I should have asked her name, why didn't I think of it. ”
He grumbled to himself for a moment, then began to look around. The room is elegantly furnished, with green as the main tone, echoing Ouyang Mingzhu's clothing. Meng Yan was vaguely uneasy in his heart: "Even if it is her life-saving grace, she shouldn't be taken to her boudoir, could it be that she slept in her bed just now?" ”
At this time, Ouyang Mingzhu walked in with a food box and asked with a smile, "Master Meng, what are you thinking?" ”
Meng Yan hurriedly shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just that you will be stunned...... Oops, this is so many zongzi? ”
Ouyang Mingzhu took out the wine jug from the food box: "Don't you know?" Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, of course, zongzi is indispensable. ”
"It turned out to be the Dragon Boat Festival." Meng Yan suddenly realized.
"Huh? The Dragon Boat Festival seems to be of great significance, but what's going on? Meng Yan's heart flashed, as if there was something important, but he couldn't grasp it.
Ouyang Mingzhu nudged him lightly: "Childe, what's wrong with you?" Don't you like to eat zongzi? If so, I can call the kitchen to cook something else. ”
Meng shook his head: "No, I was just thinking, I don't know ...... your father"
He had just bled a lot, was thirsty, drank a large glass of wine in one go, and then picked up a rice dumpling and began to chew.
