Xiang Shu laid out the food Wang Tuo bought, and then went over to wake up Feng Feng, who was sleeping on a soft chair.
"Fengfeng, get up and eat."
Fengfeng rubbed her eyes and opened them. When she sat up, she saw the sumptuous food on the table, and her eyes suddenly widened.
So much delicious food!
"Why are you standing there in such a daze? Come here quickly, the food will get cold if you don't."
Xiang Shu called out again, Fengfeng came to her senses and immediately ran to the table, climbed onto the chair and knelt down.
She picked up her chopsticks, but still didn't dare to stretch them out. She couldn't help but confirm again: "Auntie, can I really eat these?"
Xiang Yu picked up a whole chicken leg and put it into the little girl's bowl. He smiled gently and said, "Eat it."
Fengfeng's eyes shone brightly, and she finally put aside her last doubt, grabbed the chicken legs and started to chew.
too delicious!
She has never eaten such delicious food since she was a child.
Xiang Shen took a sip of his drink and looked at Fengfeng's mouth full of oil after eating, with a faint smile in his eyes.
Wang Tuo sat next to Xiang Shu, took a sip of the wine in front of him, and suddenly showed an intoxicated expression.
This wine is delicious!
Two quarters of an hour later, Fengfeng finished scooping the last grain of white rice in the bowl, finally couldn't help but burped, and lay back on the chair with satisfaction.
Good to hold on to.
She looked up and saw Xiang Shu looking at him with a gentle look on his face. She suddenly looked shy, got up, straightened up, and sat down again.
Sitting upright, she finally saw Wang Tuo sitting next to Xiang Shu.
Fengfeng recognized it immediately and asked in surprise: "Auntie, is this cat yours?"
Wang Tuo's face darkened and he jumped off the table unhappily.
Fengfeng was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong with it?"
"He doesn't like people calling him cat."
Xiang Shen smiled and explained, "You can just call him Uncle Wang from now on."
"Uncle Wang?"
Fengfeng scratched her head in confusion. This name is really strange. Why does it look like a human being?
After noon, many people from Zhuge Zifang heard the news and came to ask for Spring Festival couplets.
"You can go and play on your own, don't run too far."
Xiang Shu told Feng Feng and let her go.
Play?
Fengfeng tilted her head as she listened. Ever since she could remember, she had been working and had not played much.
Fortunately, it is the nature of children to play. Fengfeng quickly found a group of friends when she went out and started playing with the snow.
Wang Tuo stood on the eaves not far away and watched, taking a sip of wine from time to time, looking at Feng Feng's red face full of happiness, and a hint of smile in his eyes.
…
After Xiang Shu dealt with the last batch of visitors, he finally took some time off, opened the Shinto book and continued to study, looking for ways to eliminate the resentment in his body.
Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into night. .
Wang Tuo carried the sleeping Fengfeng back to Zifang with a look of helplessness on his face, "The little girl went crazy playing. She was so sleepy on the way back."
Xiang Shu laughed dumbly, picked up Fengfeng, put it back on the bed in the back room and covered her with a quilt, and said with a smile: "Don't you really dislike her?"
"I don't like it." Wang Tuo raised his head and snorted.
But who asked her to call herself Uncle Wang?
Xiang Shen didn't bother to pay attention to the arrogant elder brother. He got up and went back to the outer room. He picked up the book and was about to continue when he suddenly made a movement in his hand.
"There are some rats."
Wang Tuo jumped on the table and washed his face with his paws, "Are you coming or should I come?"
Xiang Shen smiled slightly and said, "Excuse me, brother, for your hard work."
Wang Tuo clicked his tongue and turned into a black shadow and rushed out the door.
At the same time, in the dark alley opposite Zhuge Zifang, Pi San and others who came to visit during the day were discussing in low voices.
"Chen Laosi went to the dock to work as a porter and will be back tomorrow. Tonight is the best time."
"Everyone, listen up. Two people will guard the back door later, and everyone else will just knock on the door and go in!"
"The young master of the Zhao family said
, be sure not to hurt her. If her appearance is ruined, the reward will be halved! Do you understand? "
"Boss, this little girl is as beautiful as a fairy. Not to mention Mr. Zhao said it, even if he didn't say it, we can't bear to hurt her, hehehehe..."
"Shut up! She will be Mr. Zhao's ninth wife from now on. Can you arrange it?"
"Boss, this little girl stayed up all night, so she should have a lot of money. How about we..."
"... Mr. Zhao is in a hurry. Business is important. Let's take the person captive first and search later."
"I'm searching for your uncle!"
Suddenly a strange word came out, Pi San was stunned for a moment, and then his expression suddenly changed: "Who?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard several short screams coming from behind him.
"ah!"
Pi San turned around in fear and saw his little brother lying on the ground. He was so frightened that his legs became weak and he knelt down with a plop: "My hero, please forgive me, my hero, please forgive me! This little kid has eyesight but cannot recognize Mount Tai. He will never..."
boom!
In the darkness, a paw slapped the back of his head. Pi San rolled his eyes and passed out.
The next morning.
Pi San shivered from the cold and finally woke up.
He pressed the back of his head and got up with a frightened look on his face. All thoughts of kidnapping Xiang Shu were forgotten.
After lying outside all night in this winter, I should have frozen to death long ago, but I am still alive and well. What's going on?
Pi San was confused and tried to call out to his brothers who were still lying on the ground, but he woke everyone up.
No one froze to death? !
The more Pi San thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He became panicked and took his brothers and ran away without saying a word.
"If you ask me, it would be a shame for these people to die."
Wang Tuo was lying on his back in the cat's nest, holding a wine gourd in his arms, "You bully a man and dominate a woman, and you are a woman who commits crimes. If you kill her, you will do justice to justice."
"Just to save some trouble."
Xiang Shu opened the warm medicinal porridge on the table, looked at it, and said casually: "There are not even ten thousand but eight thousand people with the surname Zhao in Shuicheng. If we don't keep them, do we still need my spiritual sense to investigate them one by one?"
When Wang Tuo heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he sat up straight, "Following the clues, I see."
He originally thought that after Xiang Shen lived in seclusion, his temperament had become softer and he would not want to commit murder again. It seems that there is a difference between herself. How could a person with such a strong mind like Chuan Mei change so easily.
With this in mind, Wang Tuo stood up and stretched, "I'm going to ask that girl Fengfeng to get up and have some porridge."
Xiang Shen looked at his leaving figure, shook his head, smiled, and waved his sleeves to put out the fire on the stove.
"Master, I have thought of a way to crack Fang Cun Ji, but I still need your help."
The Secret Realm Pearl vibrated slightly, and suddenly a voice came out.
Wang Tuo's steps suddenly stagnated, and he turned around and narrowed his tiger eyes, "This voice..."
"He is the ancestor of your demon clan."
Xiang Shen replied to Wang Tuo, and then said to the demon god Guan Hui: "I have important matters at the moment, and I will elaborate on them later."
"Old slave, I obey." The demon god responded. There was sudden silence.
"Ancestor?"
Wang Tuo shook his head, confused, but he didn't rush to ask. Since Xiang Shen said he would elaborate later, it would be the same if he asked then.
…
Fengfeng finally woke up under the frantic scratching of her two claws.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Wang Tuo's bright golden pupils. She couldn't help but smile, stretched out her arms to hug Wang Tuo's neck, and sweetly shouted: "Uncle Wang~~~"
Wang Tuo's face twitched and he looked at the sky.
For the sake of saying "Uncle Wang", I will make an exception and let you, the little girl, give me a hug.
Fengfeng didn't feel angry to get up. After waking up, she immediately got out of bed to wash up, and then came to Zifang.
There is always enough charcoal fire in the workshop. Fengfeng didn't take off her clothes when she went to bed last night, and now she doesn't feel cold after getting out of bed.
She quickly ran to Xiang Shen's table and looked up at the table. She only saw stacks of booklets and could not understand a single word.
Xiang Shu gently stroked Fengfeng's slightly yellow hair, took a bowl of medicinal porridge and pushed it in front of Fengfeng, "After dinner, go out and play. Let Uncle Wang accompany you."
Fengfeng took a small bite with the spoon. The temperature was just right, and the thick porridge had a hint of sweetness.
Hearing what Xiang Shen said, she immediately raised her head and said vaguely, "Auntie, aren't we coming together? Today is New Year's Eve, and it's really lively outside!"
Xiang Shu was startled.
When Fengfeng saw this, she immediately became more enthusiastic, "Auntie, you haven't had a good stroll in the city yet? Can Fengfeng take you there?"
Wang Tuo also jumped up to the table, covering the Shinto book he had written with his paw, "When Fengfeng said this, I remembered it. Sister Shu, didn't you want to take a break in seclusion, why did you get in again?" "
"Auntie——" Fengfeng shook her arm and continued to act coquettishly.
Xiang Shen frowned, helpless on his face, "I really can't do anything to you."
Not long after, Xiang Shu was encouraged by the two of them and went out.
On the day to get rid of the old and welcome the new, every household is sweeping the house, and red lanterns are hung in front of the wealthy doors, making them look cheerful and full of new year flavor.
The three of them walked all the way and arrived at the Dongcheng Morning Market. It was the busiest time at the moment, and there was an endless stream of hawkers.
"Pastry, fresh pastry, full of sugary flavor!"
"Tanghulu, buy candied haws. One skewer for two cents, two skewers for three cents..."
"Candy man, candy man..."
"My guest, would you like to have a new suit made for the Chinese New Year?"
"Fu Lai Restaurant has a new New Year's Eve dinner package. The seats are limited. Dear guests, please book early!"
"..."
Xiang Shu wore a veil and held Fengfeng's little hand while walking among the crowd.
Wang Tuo was lying on Xiang Shu's shoulder, yawning boredly.
Fengfeng said she was taking Xiang Shen here to go shopping, but in fact, she had never been to a busy city in her entire life, so she was immediately spoiled for choice. However, she was short of money and wanted everything but couldn't afford anything.
Seeing this, Xiang Shu took a bag of money and stuffed it into Fengfeng's hand.
Fengfeng's eyes lit up at first, and then she returned the money bag and declined obediently: "Auntie treated me to delicious food and spent a lot of money. Fengfeng can't spend any more."
"That's all your Uncle Wang's money, my aunt hasn't spent it yet."
Xiang Shu smiled softly, then bought a bunch of candied haws and stuffed it into the little girl's hand.
Fengfeng's eyes were bright and she took a bite of hawthorn in her small mouth.
So sweet!
The three of them continued shopping. When Fengfeng saw something she liked, Xiang Shu bought it directly, which made Wang Tuo anxious.
"Sister Chuan, don't just buy it for the little girl. I've almost finished the gourd wine."
Wang Tuo jumped onto Xiang Shu's head and pointed at Ye Cuiju in the distance.
"Now, leave immediately!"
