Chapter 355 Doubts
In the evening, Xi Jing suddenly opened the door, poked her head in, and said gloomily, "Senior Sister, the cake wasn't made. It's not tasty."
Tao Zi was originally sitting on a chair flipping through a book. Upon hearing this, she stood up and said with a smile, "No problem. No matter what the cake looks like, Senior Sister will..."
She walked in reluctantly and took out a black cylindrical object from behind.
Tao Zi abruptly changed the subject of what she was about to say: "I encourage you. I believe you will do well next time."
Xi Jing looked at her pitifully and said, "Senior Sister, this was an accident. I will definitely make the cake well next time!"
She nodded decisively and said, "Yes, Senior Sister believes in you."
Cheng Wuchou's voice sounded at this time: "A Zi, are you there?"
"Yes, come in, brother."
He walked in, looked at the unknown object in Xi Jing's hand, and asked puzzledly: "What is this?"
Xi Jing coughed and said seriously, "Cake."
Cheng Wuchou was silent for three seconds. Considering that she was his sister's junior sister, he complimented her against his conscience: "You can make the shape on your first try. Not bad."
"Hahaha, what do you mean by first time?" Han Yueshan poked his head in and said jokingly, "She's done it several times, and this time was the most successful!"
The three of them were silent.
Xi Jing took a deep breath and walked out with the cake in hand: "Second Brother, if you don't finish it today, I will beat you to death!"
Han Yueshan immediately closed the door and ran away. She opened the door and chased after him. Only a brother and sister and a fox were left in the house.
Tao Zi glanced at the little fox and said, "Aren't you going to quarrel with the little phoenix?"
"Tired."
"Don't you want to go chat with Jiao'er?"
The little fox shook half of its tail and said dissatisfiedly, "It laughs at me every day because my fur hasn't grown out yet."
"Then you won't go out?"
The man and the fox looked at each other for a long time, and then the little fox stood up and left in grief and anger.
Cheng Wuchou couldn't help laughing and said, "Since it's a contracted demon pet, there's no need to be so wary."
Tao Zi shook her head and said, "It's just a temporary contract. It will leave sooner or later."
He restrained his expression and said, "Is that so? Then we really need to be careful."
She asked, "Brother, what's the matter with you coming here?"
Cheng Wuchou pointed to the chair and said, "Sit down and talk."
"Um."
Tao Zi sat aside and poured him a cup of tea.
He hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to start. Suddenly, she understood and said, "Brother, do you want to ask about what happened back then?"
Cheng Wuchou nodded and added: "If you don't want to recall it, we can talk about it later."
Tao Zi smiled and said, "It's nothing to worry about. I remember that when my brother just went to sell something, the nanny and Third Aunt started arguing."
"What's wrong?"
"Aunt San was in a bad mood and wouldn't let me eat lunch," Tao Zi said calmly. "When those people broke in, Mammy was still scolding Uncle San and Aunt San for taking our family property and not letting us have enough to eat. Later, everyone in Uncle San's family died, and Mammy took me away and stole a carriage from Uncle San's family."
Cheng Wuchou looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Did you run away?"
"Well, those people didn't stop us. Mammy thought we were lucky, but soon they caught up with us. Mammy put me on the carriage and jumped out herself to stop them."
At this point, Cheng Wuchou couldn't help but shook her hand and said, "Okay, let's stop here. I won't ask any more questions."
Tao Zi smiled and said, "We've come this far, so there's no need to stop. Those people killed Mammy and caught up with me, revealing their true colors—alien races. They were planning to eat me, and I heard them say I was definitely tastier than that little boy. I asked them who the little boy was, and they said... it was you."
He stood up and walked to her side, bent down and hugged her, comforting her: "No, my brother was also rescued."
She looked up at Cheng Wuchou and asked, "Is it sir who saved my brother?"
"Yes, sir. Who saved Ah Zi?"
Tao Zi lowered her head and said in an inexplicable tone: "Qinglan."
Cheng Wuchou was silent for a long time, then he touched her head and said, "Brother was too slow to get there, otherwise A Zi wouldn't have met him."
She shook her head and said, "It's probably fate, but who decided my fate?"
He stood beside her, looking out the window, his voice sounding a little heavy: "Tomorrow, sir, we should discuss this matter."
"My fate?"
"Yes, your fate was tampered with." Cheng Wuchou's voice was filled with a subtle hatred. "Based on the information we have found, it should be the Heavenly Dao that tampered with it. But the Heavenly Dao has no need to tamper with it. It could have determined your fate from the beginning. The things involved here are probably beyond our imagination."
Tao Zi said, "Don't worry about it. If the enemy comes, we will fight him. If the water comes, we will block it with earth. What can't be solved?"
He smiled and said, "Yes, the heavens prevented us, but we still recognized each other as siblings. What big deal does it matter?"
She suddenly said, "Brother, it's my turn to ask you."
"you say."
Tao Zi raised her head and asked, "Why are those wounds still there?"
Cheng Wuchou was silent for a moment, walked back to his seat, took a sip of tea, and said, "I'm afraid you won't recognize me when we meet, so I might as well keep it."
She didn't know what to say for a moment, so he continued, "See, now you really recognize me, don't you?"
Tao Zi hummed softly.
Cheng Wuchou reached out his hand and touched her head, saying in a gentle tone, "Azi, from now on, I will always stand by your side. I will not let go of anyone who has hurt you. We will settle those accounts with those bastards one by one."
She looked at her brother opposite her, suddenly relaxed a lot, and nodded slightly.
At this time, a maid came and knocked on the door, saying, "Sir, the Thousand Needle Doctor is here."
He replied, "Tell him to wait in my room."
"yes."
Tao Zi curved her eyebrows and said, "Brother, the Thousand Needle Doctor must have come here for something. You should go and do your work first."
Cheng Wuchou said, "I'll have dinner delivered to your room. Come and eat, brother."
"good."
He stood up and left. After seeing him leave, Tao Zi opened the book again - "Ghost Record". The little ghost appeared beside her and said, "Your brother is still alive, how great."
"I think so too."
The little ghost looked at her steadily and said, "You promised me that you would help me get my body back and avenge me."
Tao Zi smiled and promised again, saying, "I will definitely help you. She and her master are also my enemies."
At this time, Cheng Wuchou walked back to his room, pushed open the door and saw the Thousand Needle Doctor sitting inside and Li Xiu standing aside.
