Feng Qing is home.
——In the blink of an eye.
In the last second, Feng Qing was still looking at her inn, and in the next second, it turned into the shabby old neighborhood of her home.
She looked at the door in front of her with a little discomfort.
This, are we here already?
It always feels a little different from what she imagined.
Feng Qing looked around like a thief, and finally found that she was the only one around, so she knocked on the door carefully.
——It was four o'clock in the evening.
If it were normal times, Feng Qing should have gotten off the train, walked through the street downstairs, and came to the door of her shabby neighborhood, just like now.
However, Feng Qing knew very well that some things looked the same, but had completely changed.
"Who is it?" A familiar voice came from the house.
Hearing that voice, Feng Qing felt strangely excited and sad.
After a while, Feng Qing's mother pushed open the door and saw Feng Qing standing at the door.
When the door was pushed open, Feng Qing almost cried.
"Why did you come back just now? Why are you so naughty again? Where did you cut your hair? Last time I told you to cut your bangs, but you refused to do it. Look around, which kid is as old as you and still has bangs like this..."
Feng Qing's cry, which was about to be suppressed, was suddenly choked in her throat.
Before she could react, she heard Feng Qing's mother yelling, "Why are you standing there like an idiot? There are so many mosquitoes in the corridor, are you going to let them all in?"
"...I'm wrong." Feng Qing apologized very skillfully, then went into the house and closed the door.
How should I put it...
This familiar yet unpleasant feeling is indeed home.
Although Feng Qing's mother said she disliked her, she would cook a lot of delicious food for her every time she came home.
Pot-stuffed meat, stewed chicken, and a whole pot of black steamed buns.
Feng Qing ate for a long time. When her mother came over and saw her expression, she sneered and said, "How is it? You can't eat such delicious food at work. I don't know you. You must order takeout every day."
Feng Qing paused slightly when putting the meat into her mouth.
She thought about her recent life and coughed slightly.
"Actually... it's not all takeout."
She didn't want to say more, so she just shoveled rice into her mouth and said vaguely, "Recently, a chef came to our place, and the dishes he cooked are delicious."
...
At this moment, in the guest house.
Chu Changzui, Li Qi and Hua Chaodu looked at each other.
Chu Changzui swallowed slightly.
The shopkeeper just disappeared under the eyes of the three of them.
Moreover, none of the three of them could figure out how the shopkeeper just now suddenly disappeared, as if a breeze blew by and the shopkeeper disappeared.
Chu Changzui had heard of the Tiyunzong and the Treading Snow to Find Plum Blossoms, but he had never heard of such a kind of lightness skill.
This kind of lightness skill didn't even look like a human, and it suddenly reminded Chu Changzui of something that was previously regarded as a joke.
Some people said that the shopkeeper looked too scary, like a mountain monster. If it was just about this lightness skill, then the shopkeeper was indeed more like a monster than a human.
The problem is...
Chu Changzui glanced at Hua Chaodu with a subtle look.
The shopkeeper just now must have called this guy here on purpose, and then deliberately did it for him to see.
Hiss, this is really a subtle and somewhat bad character...
Hua Chao sat here for a very long time, and finally couldn't help but said: "I'll go upstairs and take a look."
"Is he going to find the shopkeeper?" Chu Changzui thought secretly.
"Okay, please go upstairs." Li Qi seemed to know what Hua Chao would say, and said very calmly, "Three hundred coins a night, meals are not included. Go upstairs and turn left, the third room on the left."
Oh, right, the shopkeeper specifically said this before leaving, it turned out that he was waiting for them here.
Chu Changzui suddenly felt very happy. He picked up his abacus from the side, and then started to use it, and shouted, "Go upstairs."
Everyone squatting outside the inn saw Hua Chaodu walking upstairs. Everyone thought that they would see some exciting scenes soon, such as Hua Chaodu beating up the shopkeeper. After all, everyone had heard of Hua Chaodu's methods, but few had seen them with their own eyes.
However...
Hua Chaodu never came out after he went in.
The people outside were waiting, and they were so anxious that they couldn't bear it.
Feng Qing didn't know that the gates of the capital were closed today, nor did he know that Hua Chaodu had dispatched 5,000 archers to wait in the city today, and he didn't know that many checkpoints were set up all the way from Jiangnan to the capital today.
She didn't know that at this moment Hua Chaodu had been forced to pay three hundred coins, and then the money was used by Li Qi to buy a few chickens.
She was just lying in her room.
Ah, so comfortable.
Feng Qing patted her bulging belly, looked at the moon that had risen outside, and then stretched lazily.
Today, go to bed early. Good
night.
...
At this moment in another time and space, the moon rises.
However, here... a group of demons are dancing in chaos.
The reason is very simple, that is, the group of Jianghu people finally discovered that the shopkeeper disappeared suddenly at some point.
Yes, he disappeared silently, just like a ghost.
This was no less than a bomb dropping among the Jianghu people. Everyone was stunned because none of them noticed when the shopkeeper slipped away from under their noses.
Listening to the messy noises outside, Chu Changzui looked at Li Qi who was doing the final cleanup, walked to his side and said, "Aren't you going to bed?"
"...right away." Li Qi paused for a moment and turned to look at Chu Changzui, "But you, aren't you going to bed?"
"Don't interrupt me, you're worried, can you really sleep tonight?"
Li Qi lowered his head and stopped talking to Chu Changzui. Chu Changzui climbed onto the stool in front of him like a little adult, and then said, "It's useless to worry, so some things should be left to nature."
It shouldn't be.
At this moment, Hua Chaodu upstairs didn't go to bed either.
He sat quietly at the table, feeling a little uneasy.
"That person must be deliberately mysterious. She can't possibly bring the things here."
Hua Chaodu thought for a while, and suddenly a confident smile appeared on his face, "Yes, she is lying."
After figuring this out, his expression became gentle again, although such gentleness concealed a malice deeper than a venomous snake.
One of his hands tapped lightly on the table, and that hand looked softer than some women's.
"If this guy can get through so many defenses and bring things from the palace, then she can also kill the emperor..."
Hua Chaodu's hand that was tapping the table suddenly stopped.
"But if she can do this, there is no need for her to stay in this small inn... and there is no need for her to go through so much trouble just to get some clothes from the palace."
His guess was well-founded and logical for a normal person.
Hua Chaodu relaxed after figuring out this logic. He looked at the moonlight outside, closed his eyes quietly, and began to meditate.
Li Qi did not sleep all night.
Although Chu Changzui had advised him before, he still sat in front of the window sill, watching the stars rise and fall above his head, and watched for a whole night.
The shopkeeper also did not return all night.
When the inn opened the next day, for the first time there was no one lying lazily on the rattan chair in the lobby and stroking a black sign from time to time.
Li Qi opened the door as usual, facing the morning sun and wiping the table.
On the surface, he looked unusually calm, as if today was just an ordinary day.
Feng Qing is now standing at the original address of her inn.
She has good news and bad news.
The good news is that the people who worked there before still remember her, and their memories are intact. In their eyes, she was just out on a business trip.
The bad news is that the inn where she worked is gone, and the place where the inn was originally located is empty. It is said that the house was robbed.
By the way, her greasy boss is also missing.
"How can your boss have a big belly?" A person who was once very familiar with Feng Qing said with a smile, "Isn't your boss quite handsome? It's just that you always say that he has a bad temper or something, haha..."
"What nonsense are you talking about, my boss is the best, my boss is invincible, don't talk nonsense, oh, oh, oh." Feng Qing's face was stiff with laughter.
Things are getting serious.
It seems that the new boss is still merciful to the employees, but he is more cruel to the employees' former boss.
I wonder if her greasy former boss is still alive.
"By the way, this is a gift for you." Feng Qing handed the other party a box of cakes in her hand. The man took the box and said, "Where did you buy it? Hmm... It's delicious."
- In a small town in the south of the Yangtze River in an alien world hundreds of years ago.
Feng Qing looked at the person in front of her with an ambiguous look. After seeing her finish a whole piece of jujube mud cake, she silently moved her eyes away.
"Okay, I have to go." Feng Qing looked at the time again and waved to the person behind her, "See you next time, I will travel through time and space to see you."
"You are talking nonsense again." After Feng Qing left, the person behind her whispered.
"Hey? Feng Qing, it's you." Just as Feng Qing was about to leave, she suddenly heard someone behind her calling her. She turned around and saw that it was the uncle from the Cainiao Station. Feng Qing was addicted to online shopping, so she was naturally familiar with this uncle.
"Oh, long time no see." The uncle said, "Why is there another express delivery from you? You've moved a month ago, and I didn't expect it to be mailed here."
As he spoke, he handed Feng Qing a huge package.
Feng Qing almost crushed herself when she took it. She thought it was so heavy! How many things were in it? Why was it so heavy!
"Oh, Boss Qiao also missed you, and she said why you moved away just like that."
The uncle smiled secretly at Feng Qing again and said, "Boss Qiao told me before that she specially put some good things in it."
Good things? Feng Qing didn't expect that so many people were thinking about her. This made her, a socially anxious person, feel the love of the world again, but this package was really too heavy, ridiculously heavy.
This weight is definitely not something that cheap stuff can achieve.
Feng Qing felt a little guilty. She thanked him repeatedly, and then said to the uncle, "Thank you for the trouble. If there is a courier sent here in the future, don't worry about it. Just put it on the open space. I will come to pick it up when the time comes..."
The return was as sudden as the arrival.
Feng Qing was still thanking the person in front of her in the last second, but suddenly found that the scenery in front of her had changed in the next second.
"Li Qi didn't sleep all night last night, and it seems that he didn't eat anything this morning."
Chu Changzui just sighed upstairs, and then lowered his head to look downstairs.
He clearly remembered that the open space was empty in the last second.
Then the next second... there was one more person up there.
...
A person holding a package.
Chu Changzui's expression suddenly froze.
Li Qi, who was just mechanically wiping the table in the lobby, also froze.
Many people around did not react even after Feng Qing appeared for ten seconds, because they did not expect the shopkeeper to suddenly appear here, and they were not mentally prepared at all.
The shopkeeper looked unharmed.
She even looked quite clean and decent, her hair was not messy at all, and she even changed her clothes.
Only the bangs still blocked her eyes.
Feng Qing was stunned for a while, then looked up at the surrounding streets.
It was empty and there were not many people
. It seemed that the boss was very considerate, always sending her to places where there were not many people.
Seeing that there were not many people around, Feng Qing immediately entered the inn with the huge package.
"Li Qi, I want to eat grilled chicken wings tonight, and grill them tender!" Feng Qing shouted loudly the first second she stepped into the inn. She
was so hungry.
Alas, although she missed home, it was actually comfortable to stay in the inn. She could turn up the air conditioner to any temperature she wanted and drink as many bottles of Coke as she wanted.
Li Qi, who was wiping the table, suddenly paused, and after a long time, he slowly relaxed.
On his hands, there were already a row of marks that were caused by being pinched at some unknown time.
Hua Chaodu upstairs also trembled and almost knocked over his teacup.
Back so soon? !
Impossible!
She, how did she do it?
The shopkeeper had been missing since last night, but she was here at noon today.
Not to mention how she got through so many checkpoints, if she really went to the capital, how could she be here so quickly? Even the best person in martial arts wouldn't be able to do it!
Feng Qing picked up a pair of scissors from the counter and opened the package. At this moment, she suddenly heard someone coming down from upstairs.
She pulled the clothes out of the package while looking up, and when she saw Hua Chaodu coming down. A smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"You actually live here."
She said, and took out a piece of clothing from the package.
"Look, do you like the look of this dress?"
