good season

Zhao Shiqing's master Murong Linlang was a man of the martial arts world. She told her many strange stories about the martial arts world. This broadened Zhao Shiqing's horizons, as she had never left Liangdi since she was a child. She knew that in addition to the peaceful years, there were also intrigues and deceptions. She knew that in the martial arts world, the so-called masters were not just those who knew martial arts, but also all kinds of strange and unusual skills.

Some people can go without breathing for several hours in order to pretend to be dead, some people's joints can be twisted and turned at will, so that they can fold themselves up and put themselves into a small box, and some people can change into thousands of forms, sometimes male, sometimes female, sometimes beautiful, sometimes ugly.

And she is also one of these many strange people. She can understand the language of animals and talk to the birds in the sky and the beasts on the ground.

But this innate ability has become a habit for Zhao Shiqing herself. It is her life and is far less attractive to her than the unknown world, such as the art of disguise.

She disguised herself as a man, ran to her master, and asked him, "Did I learn the art of disguise by myself?"

Murong Linlang sneered: "What kind of disguise is this? The real disguise is to be able to become another person, even in front of everyone, without any flaws."

Murong Linlang's tone was exaggerated when she said this, so Zhao Shiqing believed that she was bragging.

Because her master would spank her if he got angry, she didn't expose the truth, but she was convinced in her heart that her master was exaggerating.

Later, she met Denghua, who was pretending to be Zhao Tinghan, in the capital. They looked about 50% similar, but Denghua and Zhao Tinghan were somewhat similar in figure and face shape, so Zhao Shiqing didn't think it was anything special.

But today, when she realized that Chou Gu was Xiu Xiu in disguise, she was shocked.

If this is the disguise technique that Master mentioned, then it is truly amazing.

If such a master was recruited by someone with evil intentions, sent to the palace, and disguised as the emperor, he could sit on the throne without any soldiers.

However, after calming down, Zhao Shiqing felt that his idea was ridiculous.

Even as an emperor, he cannot do whatever he wants. He has to bear someone else's face, use someone else's name, and kowtow to someone else's ancestors. What's the point of being an emperor?
Zhao Shiqing's mind was full of wild thoughts and before she knew it, it was daybreak. She pulled herself together and was about to go out, but then she raised her foot and brought it back.

Xiuxiu, Dapang, and the cat went through many hardships and traveled thousands of miles to come here, just to hide in a food store that couldn't be any smaller, and for some leftovers?
Since Xiuxiu is proficient in the art of disguise, she is destined to be no ordinary person.

Zhao Shiqing wanted to ask Dapang again, but when she turned around, she saw Dapang sleeping soundly, as if this was his home.

No sense of crisis at all.

Zhao Shiqing thought, it's useless to ask it, because it only knows that little.

It rained all day yesterday, and then the sky cleared up and it is a nice day today.

Ling Bo went to the inn kitchen to take a look, and came back to say to Zhao Shiqing: "Second Miss, why don't we go to the street to have breakfast? There is only yellow rice porridge in the inn."

In fact, yellow rice porridge is not bad, but although Zhao Shiqing is not picky about food, Murong Linlang has spoiled her taste for food. Besides, there is also a picky eater Shen Guanyue, so they should go out to eat.

Zhao Shiqing looked at Xiao Yao and Dapang who were still sleeping, and said to Ling Bo, "Close the doors and windows, don't let them run out."

People have hostages, cats have cat hostages, and Fatty is the cat hostage.

The four of them went straight to the magnolia tree and knocked on the door. The little boy came out to open the door. When he heard that they were there for breakfast, he shook his head and said, "Go somewhere else. We don't sell breakfast."

Well, the four of them turned around and were about to leave when they heard the man's impatient curse coming from the yard: "Ugly bastard, if you keep pestering me, I'll beat you to death. That's right, I chopped up the cat and stewed it for dinner yesterday night. What's the matter? You still want to kill me!"

Before he finished speaking, the man let out a scream, and the little boy ran inside without even bothering to close the door. Zhao Shiqing gave a wink, and the four of them followed him in.

In the kitchen, a man was grabbing a woman's hair with one hand, while his other hand was covering his stomach, with blood oozing out from between his fingers.

And that woman was still holding a pair of scissors tightly in her hand!

Zhao Shiqing shouted, "Your cat is not dead, it's still alive, Loach, Lingbo, quickly pull them apart!"

After a chaotic battle, the two men who had fought desperately were finally pulled apart. Chou Gu stared at Zhao Shiqing with bloodshot eyes: "You said that Da Pang is not dead? Is that true?"

Before Zhao Shiqing could speak, Chef Zhang said to the little boy, "Go report to the police, report to the police, and have this ugly bastard arrested!"

Zhao Shiqing said hurriedly, "No need to report to the police. Let's find a doctor to bandage the wound first. I don't think the wound is deep, but it's better to find a doctor to take a look. What happened today is all a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding."

She said to Ugly in what she thought was the gentlest tone: "Is your cat yellow, with only its paws white, and a big face with a lump of flesh on one side of its face?"

Ugly Girl nodded quickly: "Yes, that's what Big Fatty looks like. Have you seen it? Where is it?"

Zhao Shiqing lied sincerely: "Last night, this cat ran into my room to steal some dried fish and I caught it. But don't worry, I didn't beat it. It's sleeping now."

Chou Gu's eyes lit up, and she struggled to go with them to pick up Da Pang. Chef Zhang was not happy when he saw this: "You stabbed me and I still want to leave. Ouch, it hurts so much."

At this time, Shen Guanyue came over with a smile on her face and said to Chef Zhang, "I think this girl was just too eager to find a cat and was confused for a moment. Please forgive her this time. She is so ugly. If she is really sent to the government office and scares the officials, it will be troublesome."

As a cook in a snack shop like this, he had to kill chickens and fish every day. Although Chef Zhang was stabbed with a pair of scissors, he knew that the wound was not deep and his life was not in danger. However, he was still angry and said to Shen Guanyue, "You like to meddle in other people's business so much. Do you want to pay for her?"

Zhao Shiqing heard this and thought, "Pay compensation? If money can solve the problem, then it's not a problem."

She was about to speak, but Shen Guanyue took the lead and said, "Compensation? We are not the ones who are being taken advantage of. No one's money comes from the wind."

Chef Zhang snorted coldly: "Why are you pretending to be a good person when you don't have money?"

When Chou Gu heard that Da Pang was still alive, she felt relieved and her mind became clear. She said to Chef Zhang, "Uncle Zhang, it's my fault. It's all my fault. From now on, I will only eat one meal and do whatever you tell me to do."

Zhao Shiqing narrowed her eyes. It seemed that Chou Gu didn't want to leave here.

She suddenly said, "You only eat one meal a day, how can you feed the cat? I don't think this uncle cook likes cats. If I give the cat to you, it will become a dish sooner or later. I heard there is a dish called Dragon Tiger Fight. The uncle cook will definitely be able to make it."

Ugly was startled and said quickly, "I don't have to eat. I'll save all the food for Big Fatty."

Zhao Shiqing sneered, "If you don't eat, how can you have the energy to work? If you don't work, what can you use to compensate the cook? Forget it, let's not meddle in other people's business. Cook, let's report to the police. When she is put in jail, I will skin and bone the cat and make a dragon-tiger fight with it." After saying that, she walked out leisurely, and the other three followed her.

When the ugly girl saw it, she became anxious: "Wait for me, I will go with you, Dapang, Dapang"

Zhao Shiqing: "What big fat guy? That's food, food for dragon-tiger fight!"

Ugly Girl: "Tell me, what do you want me to do in order for you to return Da Pang to me?"

Zhao Shiqing: "Please beg me."

Chou Gu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly knelt down and kowtowed three times to Zhao Shiqing: "I beg you, Da Pang is my life, please give Da Pang back to me, it's dirty, its meat is not tasty at all, really."

Zhao Shiqing: Why don't you play by the rules? Why are you bowing your head? How can I threaten or bribe you?
"How about this, I'll buy it, I'll pay for it, and you sell me the cat, how about that?"

Ugly Girl shook her head: "No, I won't sell it."

Zhao Shiqing: "You don't really love it. If it follows you, it won't even have food to eat. But if it follows me, I give it delicious food every day. You keep saying that it is your life, but you watch it suffer with you and don't let it live a good life. Tsk tsk tsk, how selfish."

Ugly girl was stunned for a while, then she said, "I don't want money, I also want it to live a good life, but I don't believe you, you just said you wanted to eat it."

Zhao Shiqing: "I don't have any good points, but I have a good heart. How about this, if you are worried, just follow me with it. Anyway, I will raise one or two. I don't have much else, but I have a lot of money. I raise all three of them. If you don't believe me, ask them, do they eat delicious food and drink spicy food with me every day?"

Shen Guanyue: I paid one thousand two taels of silver.

But he didn't dare to say anything and could only nod in humiliation.

Lingbo and Niqiu had no pressure at all and said loudly, "Yes, we were all picked up by the young lady. She picked up a lot of people and raised them all plump and white."

At this time, the little boy came back with the doctor. Zhao Shiqing quickly took Ling Bo out of the house and asked the doctor to check the wound of Chef Zhang. He also dragged Chou Gu out, leaving only Shen Guanyue and Niqiu inside.

"Hey, girl, have you thought about what I just said? You and Dapang, just follow me." Zhao Shiqing said.

Ugly girl's eyes lit up, but she quickly shook her head: "You are outsiders passing by, I can't leave here, girl, you better return Da Pang to me."

Before she finished her words, the little boy ran out of the house and stared at the ugly girl as if she were a thief, afraid that she would run away.

Zhao Shiqing said to Chou Gu, "You see, they are determined to send you to jail, but you said you are working for them for nothing and they don't care. Even if I return Da Pang to you, what will happen? You went to jail and Da Pang became a dish. Didn't the cook say he wanted to stew it before?"

Chougu lowered her head sadly. Chef Zhang didn't like Da Pang and had said more than once that he would kill Da Pang and stew him. Otherwise, she would not have believed him today and stabbed him with scissors in anger.

Zhao Shiqing persuaded him with both reason and emotion: "Who makes me kind-hearted? If you and Da Pang follow me, you will be my people, my cats. I won't let them cause you any trouble. I will pay you and settle these things for you. You don't have to go to jail, nor do you have to work to pay back the money. No one will call for you to be killed in the future. What do you think?"

Ugly Girl shook her head: "I'm not leaving. I'm not going anywhere. You're from another place. I won't follow you."

Zhao Shiqing: This really doesn’t make sense.

She winked at Ling Bo, who walked in front of the little boy, blocking his view, and took out a few copper coins from his purse: "Little brother, I want to ask you something, and this money will buy you some candy."

Chou Gu didn't know what Ling Bo wanted to ask, so she turned her head to look, and then she felt a pain in the back of her head and lost consciousness.

Zhao Shiqing put Chougu's arm on her shoulders and ran out with her. The little boy was answering Lingbo's second question: "I haven't heard of anyone selling rooster eggs in the town."

When he happily put the copper coins into his pocket, he was shocked to find that the two people who had just been in the yard were gone.

Chef Zhang's injuries were not serious. The doctor cleaned his wound, applied medicine, and bandaged it simply. Shen Guanyue took the initiative to pay the medical fee.

The little boy ran in: "Dad, Ugly Girl is missing, and the woman who was with them is also missing."

Ling Bo chased in and took out a silver ingot, about ten taels.

Chef Zhang was about to lose his temper, but when he saw the shiny silver ingot, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

“I don’t know who you are, but since you want to meddle in other people’s business, don’t blame me for not reminding you that the ugly guy is very evil.

You are from outside the city, so I won’t hide it from you. Ever since that ugly girl came, my house has been haunted. I hope she will leave sooner than you do, but she is like a dog-skin plaster. No matter how I beat or scold her, she just stays here and refuses to leave. "

When Lingbo and the other two returned to the inn, Chougu had not woken up yet. The room where Zhao Shiqing and Lingbo lived was still clean and tidy when they left, but now it was in a mess, with teapots and teacups broken all over the floor.

Zhao Shiqing said calmly, "When I came back, Xiaoyao and Dapang were fighting. They have to compensate the inn for the things they broke. The loss can be deducted from their dried fish."

The little demon yelled: [It’s not fair, why do you want to deduct my dried fish? No! ]

Zhao Shiqing: "Then let's use chicken breast."

Xiao Yao: [Chicken breast is not good either, let’s use rat meat. I don’t eat rat.]

Yes, Xiao Yao doesn’t eat mice, she only plays with them. All the mice in her hands were killed by her playing with them.

Big Fatty didn't argue with Little Demon. He was lying on the ugly girl, stepping on her and stepping on her. Wake up, wake up quickly.

Ling Bo relayed what Chef Zhang had said, and Zhao Shiqing's eyes were gloomy. Just as she had guessed, Chou Gu had another purpose in hiding in that snack shop.

Shouldn't she mind her own business?
But she remembered the dream. Ever since she knew that the dream had come true, Zhao Shiqing felt that there was a divine will in the world, and that she was related to Xiuxiu, who had escaped death.

Otherwise, why would she have such a dream when she had no relationship with Xiuxiu's family?

So, she really took care of this trivial matter. (End of this chapter)
