"It's just to save some trouble."
Xiang Sheng uncovered the warm porridge on the table and took a look, then casually said, "There are at least eight thousand people with the surname Zhao in Dushui City. If I don't keep them, do I have to use my spiritual sense to investigate them one by one?"
When Wang Tuo heard this, his eyes lit up and he sat up straight. "Follow the clues, so that's it."
He had originally thought that Xiang Sheng's seclusion had softened her character, unwilling to commit murder again. It seemed he was wrong. How could someone as resolute as Xiang Sheng change so easily?
Thinking of this, Wang Tuo stood up and stretched, "I'll go and tell Fengfeng to get up and have some porridge."
Xiang Sheng looked at his departing back, shook his head and smiled, then waved his sleeves to put out the fire on the stove.
"Master, I have found a way to crack Fang Cun Ji, but I still need your help."
The secret realm bead vibrated slightly, and suddenly a voice was heard.
Wang Tuo's steps suddenly stopped, and he turned back and narrowed his eyes, "This sound..."
"He is the ancestor of your demon race."
Xiang Sheng replied to Wang Tuo, then said to the demon god Lou Huo, "I have something important to attend to right now. I'll tell you more later."
"I obey your command," the demon god replied, and then fell silent.
"Ancestor?"
Wang Tuo shook his head, feeling confused, but he didn't rush to ask. Since Xiang Sheng said he would explain in detail later, it would be the same if he asked then.
…
Fengfeng finally woke up after being scratched frantically by her two claws.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Wang Tuo's bright golden eyes. She couldn't help but smile, stretched out her arms and hugged Wang Tuo's neck, calling sweetly: "Uncle Wang~~~"
Wang Tuo's face twitched and he looked up at the sky.
Since you call me "Uncle Wang", I will make an exception and let you, little girl, hug me.
Fengfeng didn't have any bad temper when she woke up. After waking up, she immediately got out of bed, washed up, and then went to the calligraphy studio.
The charcoal fire in the workshop is always so bright. Fengfeng didn't take off her clothes when she went to bed last night, so she didn't feel cold even after getting out of bed.
She ran to Xiang Sheng's desk, looked up at the table, and saw only piles of booklets. She couldn't understand a single word.
Xiang Sheng gently stroked Feng Feng's slightly yellow hair, took a bowl of medicinal porridge and pushed it in front of Feng Feng, "Let's go out and play after dinner. Let Uncle Wang accompany you."
Fengfeng took a small sip with a spoon. The temperature was just right, and the thick porridge had a hint of sweetness.
Hearing Xiang Sheng say this, she immediately raised her head and said vaguely, "Auntie, aren't you coming? Today is New Year's Eve, it's so lively outside!"
Xiang Sheng was stunned.
Fengfeng immediately became more excited when she saw this. "Auntie, you haven't had a good stroll in the city yet, right? Fengfeng will take you there, okay?"
Wang Tuo also jumped onto the table and put his paw on the Shinto book he had written. "Now that Fengfeng mentioned that, it reminds me. Sister Sheng, didn't you want to retreat and rest for a while? Why did you go in again?"
"Auntie..." Fengfeng continued to act coquettishly while shaking Xiang Sheng's arm.
Xiang Sheng's brows relaxed, a helpless look on his face, "I really can't do anything about you."
Not long after, Xiang Sheng went out under the instigation of the two.
On the day of getting rid of the old and welcoming the new, every household is cleaning the house, and red lanterns are hung in front of the doors of the wealthy houses, making the house look festive and full of the flavor of the New Year.
The three of them walked all the way to the Dongcheng morning market. It was the busiest time at that moment, with hawkers shouting incessantly.
“Pastry, fresh pastry, full of sugary goodness!”
"Tanghulu, buy some Tanghulu, two coins for a bunch, three coins for two bunches..."
"Sugar man, selling sugar man..."
"Sir, would you like to have a new set of clothes made for the New Year?"
"Fu Lai Restaurant is offering a private New Year's Eve dinner. Space is limited, so please book early!"
“…”
Xiang Sheng wore a veil and walked in the crowd holding Fengfeng's little hand.
Wang Tuo lay on Xiang Sheng's shoulder, yawning out of boredom.
Fengfeng said she was bringing Xiang Sheng here for a stroll, but in fact, she had never been to a busy city in her life. She was overwhelmed by the choices, but she was short of money. She wanted everything but couldn't afford anything.
Seeing this, Xiang Sheng took out a bag of silver and stuffed it into Fengfeng's hand.
Fengfeng's eyes lit up at first, then she returned the purse and politely declined, saying, "Auntie treated me to delicious food and spent a lot of money. Fengfeng can't spend any more."
"Those were all spent by your uncle Wang. Auntie hasn't spent any of them yet."
Xiang Sheng smiled gently, then bought a string of candied haws and stuffed it into the little girl's hand.
Fengfeng's eyes sparkled as she took a bite of the hawthorn with her little mouth.
So sweet!
The three of them continued shopping. Whenever Fengfeng saw something she liked, Xiang Sheng would buy it directly, which made Wang Tuo anxious.
"Sister Sheng, don't just buy things for the little girl. I'm almost done with my gourd of wine."
Wang Tuo leaped directly onto Xiang Sheng's head and pointed his claws at Ye Cui Ju in the distance.
"Now, set off immediately!"
