Chapter 22: Beauty Lost

Ayu has been in heaven for the past few days, and the craftsmanship of the first peach can be said to be right for its appetite.

Yuegui also seemed to be stimulated by this little guy, and she became more and more attentive in cooking, and now she is very decent.

After a few days like this, Ayu's good days finally came to an end and he returned to the compass again.

When he was leaving, he was reluctant to give up on Chu Tao, and he desperately squeezed out a few tears in his eyes: "You can't forget my adult, I will follow you next time I come out." ”

After Ayou went back, he didn't have the little wings fluttering behind him, and Chu Tao's days became a little colder, but he was still a little busy.

Because Yuegui has not yet come out of the school, things in the kitchen are probably still busy with Chu Tao.

During these days, Chu Tao relied on her cooking skills, and gradually accumulated some regular customers, these people would greet her with a smile when they saw her when they came to dinner, among them, a sect disciple surnamed Bai came the most diligently.

From the perspective of mortals, this Bai Shaoxia is already a very brilliant teenager.

The figure is slightly thin, but it looks polite, and when he speaks, he is soft-spoken, extremely polite, and he must be a well-read and courteous child of a family.

He came almost every day, and he would also say a few words to Chu Tao. After going back and forth, the two became acquainted, and sometimes Chu Tao would say a few more words to him, chatting about anger or something.

This time it was Xiao Liuzi who was the most keen, on a certain night when they were eating together, after Xiao Liuzi put down the dishes and chopsticks, he said to Chu Tao: "Sister Chu Tao, I see that Bai Gongzi often comes to our store recently, always looking for you to talk, and his eyes and tone are so gentle, don't you fall in love with you?"

Because the sound was not small, Kuang Yi at the next table also heard it, his ears moved slightly, but there was no expression on his face.

Chu Tao was a little embarrassed, and waved her fist at Xiao Liuzi like Yuegui: "It's just an ordinary friend, Xiao Liuzi, if you talk nonsense again, there will be no food for you in the past few days." ”

On the second day, Chu Tao made a painting at Kwong Yi's place as usual.

She doesn't have to copy anymore, Kwong Yat gives her a reference every day, and asks her to give it to him after she finishes drawing, and he points out some areas that need to be improved.

The day was quite fast, and the results were good, and she went to the kitchen early to finish serving lunch.

After the guests left, Xiao Liuzi and the others went to rest for a while, and when she found that some ingredients were missing when she was taking inventory in the kitchen, she thought about going to the street.

Chu Tao wanted to go and call Yuegui together, but Yuegui was studying a new dish, she thought that she had gone to the street to buy a few times in the past, but she wouldn't get lost or anything, and there were not many things to buy, so she didn't need anyone's help, so she carried a small bamboo basket and went out by herself.

But this time, when a guest came to dinner, the Jindu Building found that Chu Tao had not returned, and it was already dark outside.

It just so happened that Kuang Yi also went out with Mu Bai this afternoon and would not come back until early tomorrow morning.

No one made up their minds, and the three people in Jindu Tower were suddenly a little panicked, and hurriedly carried lanterns to the street to look for them, and Yuegui used spells to investigate while walking.

But until midnight, there was no trace of the first peach in the whole town!

Early the next morning, when Kuang Yi and Mu Bai came back, they saw Yuegui running out very anxiously, and Mu Bai asked her gently, "What's the matter, so anxious?"

Yuegui gasped, and her face was anxious: "Yesterday, the peach went out and went out, and I haven't come back until now." ”

When Kuang Yi heard this, his tone couldn't help but be anxious: "What's the matter? ”

"Yesterday afternoon she said she was going to the street to buy something, and then we saw that it was almost dark and she had not returned, so we went out into the street to look for it, but we searched for half a night and did not find it, and I used magic to investigate, and the whole town was devoid of her breath. ”

As soon as Yuegui finished speaking, Kuang Yi took Mu Bai to the house to get the compass and summoned Ayu out.

The last time he gave Hatsu Tao a talisman with his natal mind attached to it, Ayu probed for a moment, then opened his eyes and told them that the location of the talisman was about ten miles north of the town.

Kuang Yi hurriedly searched for it, but only saw a ruined temple, searched inside and out, and finally found the charm in the incense burner that had not yet been burned.

Looking at the handful of ashes, Kuang Yi was even more uneasy, Chu Tao must be in danger!

He hurriedly instructed Mu Bai to inquire around the town and in the Heavenly Grassland, and he took the people in Jindu Building to inquire on the street.

Some of the shopkeepers who knew Hatsu Tao said, "Hatsu Peach girl, she did come to the store in the afternoon, but she left after shopping." ”

asked one street after another, all of them were answered by this one, and Yuegui was already so anxious that her face was full of tears.

Just as they were about to return to Jindu Tower, a little beggar timidly grabbed the corner of Yuegui's clothes.

Laurel turned around, and the little beggar said to her, "Are you looking for that sister with round eyes and a red dress?"

Yue Gui remembered that Li Chu Tao was indeed wearing a water-red dress yesterday, and hurriedly squatted down and asked the little beggar, "Have you seen her anywhere?"

"I saw her go shopping on the street yesterday, and I was about to call her, when a young man dressed in white came up and said a few words to her, and my sister followed him. But...... I saw that my sister was walking a little wrong, so I whispered to her, and she ignored me. ”

It turned out that Chu Tao would make more steamed buns every day when she cooked, and distribute them to these little beggars on the street, and these children were familiar with her.

When the little beggar saw her yesterday, he wanted to go up to say hello and see if he could follow him to get some steamed buns, but he didn't expect to become the only witness.

At this time, Hatsumoku woke up from a bout of vertigo and found herself in an unfamiliar room.

The maidservant standing next to the bed saw her wake up, and hurriedly poured a glass of water for her, but Chu Tao didn't answer, and looked at the stranger woman with a beautiful face vigilantly: "Where is this?"

The woman listened to her question, waved one hand, opened her mouth and made an ahhhh

Chu Tao looked around again, and felt more and more that something was wrong, he was just going out to buy, how did he get here?

She lifted the covers, rolled over and got out of bed, and when she got up, she felt dizzy again, and after a little relief, she walked towards the door.

The woman behind her hurriedly chased after her, but Chu Tao was stopped by a ban as soon as she walked to the courtyard gate.

The secret way in his heart was not good, and he hurriedly urged the mana around his body to break the ban, but he found that the mana in his body was also imprisoned, and he couldn't use it at all!

When I looked down again, I saw that the clothes on my body had been changed, and the charm they gave was also taken away.

Is there no way to get out at all? Chu Tao's heart flashed a few thoughts, tried his best to settle down, and asked the woman behind him, "Where is the master here?"

The woman still shook her head, indicating that she didn't know, and reached out to help her back into the room.

Chu Tao had no clue at this time, she didn't know who the person behind it was, and she didn't know why she was locked up here.

The fear of the unknown, and the weirdness of this place, made her feel a chill in her heart.

Just as she was about to go back to the room, a woman's whimper came from a room in the corner, and Chu Tao hurriedly ran over when she heard the sound, and the woman behind her didn't have time to stop her, she had already pushed open the door.

As soon as he pushed the door open, there was a foul smell coming to his nose, and Chu Tao couldn't help but gasp when he looked at it, there were five women locked in this room!
