The husband seemed to notice that she was distracted and said with a smile: "Miss Tao, do you mind if I call you Xiaozi?"
Tao Zi regained her mind for a moment and said, "Of course I don't mind, sir, it's up to you."
"I would like to ask, what was Xiao Zi thinking about just now?"
She paused and replied: "I think your husband is very similar to Senior Cheng, but not very similar."
The husband laughed, as if he knew where the similarities were, and said, "The gentleness of that child Wuchou is just superficial. If you find a truly gentle person anywhere, you will feel that he is similar to me."
Tao Zi felt relaxed inexplicably and said, "Sir, do you mean that you are really gentle?"
He said something that is equivalent to saying it in vain: "When you are really gentle, you are naturally really gentle."
She thought about it and finally understood the meaning of this sentence.
The husband talked to her gently for a long time before getting to the point: "Your real name is not Tao Zi, right?"
The hair on Tao Zi's whole body almost stood up. She changed from her previous relaxed mood and said, "My name is of course Tao Zi. What does this mean, sir?"
He smiled and reassured: "Don't be nervous, I'm just asking casually."
She smiled and did not answer the question.
The gentleman looked at the sunlight outside, stood up with a smile, and said, "It's almost time, so I'll leave first. Xiaozi, if you need anything, you can always tell me."
Tao Zi nodded and thanked her. When her husband came to the door, a thought came to her mind and she blurted out: "Does your husband know me?"
He turned back to look at her, his eyebrows softened, and said, "No, this is the first time we have met."
She looked at her husband steadily and asked, "So, does your husband know me from my previous life?"
The husband was silent for a long time and did not answer this question, but Tao Zi knew it well.
When the sun set in the west and only the afterglow of the setting sun remained on the horizon, he spoke softly: "It seems the same but not the same, Xiao Zi, everyone is unique."
Watching her husband leave, Tao Zi understood what he meant. It was good that she was the reincarnation of that person, but in his heart, she would never be that old friend.
She lowered her eyes, thinking of the owner of Xu Yan's ruins and Cun Xuyuan's Mahayana, and suddenly became interested in her past life.
The inner demon's voice sounded in my heart: "Why, are you starting to wonder about your past life? Weren't you not interested in it before?"
Tao Zi replied in her heart: "I can't even handle my life well. How can I deal with the grudges and grudges of my previous life. But the me in my previous life is still affecting me to this day. How can I not be curious? You are so Ask me, do you know who I was in my previous life?”
It said: "How do I know that I am your inner demon, and not your inner demon from your previous life? Well...if you become a demon, maybe you will remember it?"
She tugged at her lips and was too lazy to pay attention to the words. She just mocked: ""
Suddenly, there was another knock on the door, accompanied by the husband's question: "Xiao Zi, what's wrong?"
She went over to open the door and said, "Sir, I'm fine. Why are you back again?"
The husband looked at her carefully and finally said: "Xiao Zi, go listen to the monks chanting sutras when you have time, and don't be dominated by the evil thoughts in your heart."
Tao Zi looked at him in surprise and nodded in agreement.
After her husband left, she said in her heart: "You seem to have been discovered by him."
The inner demon remained silent for a long time, probably because he was shocked and refused to speak anymore.
Early the next morning, there was a knock on the door. Tao Zi lazily got up, quickly cleaned herself up, and then said: "Please come in."
Five maids came in, one carrying a washcloth, one carrying a washbasin, and the other two carrying things in their hands, but they were covered by cloth.
The maid at the head bent down and saluted: "Girl, I am waiting for you to wash up as ordered by your husband."
Tao Zi:...?
Before she could refuse, the maids came forward to cleanse her face and comb her hair. They also helped her change into a set of gorgeous clothes, and even made the somewhat messy bed.
After the maids retreated, Tao Zi looked at her bright red dress with ruby on it, and became even more silent.
How can I put it, despite the initial discomfort, I actually felt very comfortable later on.
Not long after, someone knocked on the door again.
"Please come in."
It was another maid. She nodded and lowered her eyebrows, and said in a respectful tone: "Where do you want to have your meal, young lady? In the room or in the lobby?"
Tao Zi was silent for two or three seconds and asked, "Where are my junior brothers and sisters?"
"Master Han and others went to the lobby."
She nodded and said, "Then I'll go to the lobby too."
"Yes, the maid is waiting for the girl outside."
The maid retreated to the door and closed the door thoughtfully.
Tao Zi saw that there was nothing to clean up, so she had no choice but to open the door and go out.
Under the leadership of the maid, she came to the lobby. A very embarrassing thing happened - they had all finished eating and the maids were clearing the table.
Fortunately, they were quick enough and served another copy, no, two copies, one of which was placed in front of the gentleman.
Tao Zichao said hello to Mr. Tao Zi, who looked at her in a daze for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's better for the little girl to dress like this. She looks more energetic."
She must have glanced at Xi Jing and the others on the side, and found that their clothes had also been changed, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Tao Zi sat on the chair, her husband took the lead in eating, and she followed silently.
She didn't know why, but she always had an inexplicable respect for this gentleman.
She had just finished eating, and as soon as she put down the tableware, the maid on the side immediately brought a mouthwash cup and a face towel. She was stunned for a moment. Fortunately, the husband rinsed his mouth first, and she followed silently, so no big mistake was made.
The junior brothers and sisters watched this scene silently. Even cousin Jiaoer's sitting posture was very standard and extremely well-behaved.
After the dining table and others had been removed, the gentleman said, "Do you understand the purpose of Wuqiu inviting you here?"
Tao Zi responded in a deep voice: "It's roughly clear that it's probably for Cheng Zhenjun's sister, but I don't know the specifics."
The gentleman smiled and said, "The whereabouts of Wuyou's child are deliberately obscured by Tiandao, so we need a few people who can escape Tiandao's control."
She frowned and said: "Speaking of it, the four of us are not completely free from the control of Heavenly Dao. We may even be still under Heavenly Dao's control."
"It's okay. You'll know if you give it a try." The gentleman looked at the four of them and said, "Don't worry, this trip will not have any adverse consequences, and we will give you appropriate rewards."
Tao Zi nodded and said, "Thank you sir, sir, where are we going?"
The gentleman smiled gently and said, "The Dayless Forest."
Hearing this familiar place name, Tao Zi repeated in surprise: "Dayless Forest?"
The husband probably misunderstood what she meant, and said warmly: "Don't be afraid, Xiao Zi. Someone will protect you when you go in. Don't worry about those monsters."
Cheng Wuchou endured it, but still did not tell the story that this man might have entered the Dayless Forest countless times before.
