After waiting for a moment and seeing that it had quieted down behind the screen, Feng Xia suddenly suggested, "I'll take advantage of this time to deliver your message first."
"Alright."
The proprietress's voice rang out from behind the screen.
Immediately afterwards, an exquisite jade pendant flew through the air, carved with an unnamed mythical beast. The moment it touched my hand, a cool sensation spread through me.
“My husband has a rather eccentric temper. He will only listen to you properly if you have this jade pendant in your hands.” Her voice paused for a moment. “Therefore, please make sure you don’t lose it.”
Feng Xia nodded and put away the jade pendant, then smiled and said, "I wonder what message the proprietress wants us to deliver, and where we should go to find that person?"
Judging from what the proprietress said, it seemed that there were other people on this street besides her!
This can be considered a discovery, albeit a minor one.
The proprietress behind the screen chuckled softly:
“My husband’s name is Tu Kuo. He’s at the butcher shop across the street right now. If you see him, please tell him that the child will be back tonight and that he should remember to bring some meat home to nourish our child.”
……
Chapter 0100
Butcher... Butcher Kuo!
Upon hearing the landlady's words, Feng Xia was almost involuntarily stunned.
That butcher shop that looked like it was going to kill you as soon as you got close actually had someone inside! And what's more, that person turned out to be the husband of the clothing shop owner!
You two are really creative...
For a moment, Feng Xia even had a bad feeling – could it be that the meat sold in that butcher shop was cheated out of its quality?
Because this ancient street has been buried underground for many years and no outsiders have ever come here in the past seven hundred years, there has been a shortage of goods, which is why the butcher shop is empty.
nowadays……
Time to restock!!
Indeed, some things shouldn't be viewed negatively; the downside of thinking negatively is that the more you think about it, the worse it gets...
"Is it the one across the street?"
Despite the turmoil in his heart, Feng Xia remained calm on the surface. He clicked his tongue almost imperceptibly and asked with a smile, "Besides this message, does the proprietress have any other requests?"
"I have no other requests."
The figure behind the screen shook his head: "I'll have to trouble you two again."
Feng Xia nodded and was about to leave when suddenly, a thought struck him, and he asked, "By the way, ma'am, do you know where the teacher at that private school is from?"
"Oh, you're asking about that gentleman."
The proprietress paused slightly before replying, "I don't know where he's from either. I've only heard people mention that he seems to have retired from the battlefield. They say he was wounded on the front lines and while he was recuperating here, he opened a private school to teach, and he's been teaching there for quite a few years now..."
"I see, thank you for letting me know."
Feng Xia didn't ask any further questions. He waved to Zhu Youniang and they left the clothing shop one after the other.
He took out the jade pendant the landlady had given him and held it tightly in his hand. But then he felt uneasy, so he simply grabbed Zhu Youniang's hand, put the jade pendant in her palm, and then held the girl's hand.
"Are you ready?"
"Ah."
"Then we'll have to do it again."
The two cautiously made their way towards the butcher shop in the distance, one step, two steps, three steps...
At a certain moment!!
Boom——
The butcher's knife in the butcher shop trembled, and a terrifying aura of malevolence erupted, sweeping over like a tidal wave in an instant!
But at that moment, the jade pendants in their hands glowed slightly, and a barely perceptible coolness emanated from them, instantly flowing through their entire bodies.
wow-
A terrifying surge of malevolent energy swept over the two of them, but in an instant it transformed into a gentle breeze, ultimately causing them no harm.
"Fortunately, this jade pendant is useful."
Seeing this, Feng Xia breathed a sigh of relief and quickened his pace. He walked to the door of the butcher shop and called out in a loud voice, "Boss, are you there? We came from across the street. The boss's wife asked us to pass on a message, saying that your child is coming home tonight and you should remember to take some meat back with you!"
But all he got in return was the deathly silence of the shop.
"Hey, is anyone here?"
"Boss, where are you? Your wife told us to call you home for dinner!"
"Hello, we're from the property management. Could you please open the door?"
silence.
There was no reply.
At this moment, the vibration of the butcher's knife slowly stopped. The butcher shop was deserted, with neither the owner nor the meat, and no response was given to Feng Xia.
"Boss, we're in!"
Feng Xia walked up the stone steps at the entrance and entered the butcher shop step by step.
A faint smell of blood wafted over, seeping into his breath and seemingly lingering there forever.
Still no one.
"Could it be that..."
Look, the wife is bedridden and unable to go out, yet the husband often stays out all night...
To be honest, at that moment, Feng Xia imagined quite a lot of scenarios—if written into a novel, it would be at least 350,000 words long.
"Asha, Asha!"
Just then, Zhu Youniang's sudden voice brought Feng Xia back to reality: "Look, there seems to be something over there!"
"Something... um, it seems to be a letter?"
Feng Xia walked over, picked up a letter from the table, but his face immediately darkened: "Damn it, it's another letter with words I don't recognize..."
When he was in that private school, he became literate; but after he left, he became illiterate again.
"There were some characters from the Heavenly Pattern Divine Kingdom in the previous fragments of the 'Record of the Celestial Pattern Divine Embryo,' but because they were fragments, only a few words could be recognized, and the complete meaning could not be sorted out for the time being."
He waited in the shop for a while longer, but Tu Kuo never showed up. He could only shake his head helplessly, pick up the letter, and turn back to the clothing shop across the street.
"Guests, you're back?"
The proprietress's excited voice rang out immediately: "So, did you run into my husband?"
Feng Xia hesitated for a moment, but still answered honestly, "Actually, we didn't find your husband, and there was no one in the butcher shop..."
"Didn't you run into him? There's no one in the butcher shop?" The proprietress's voice clearly faltered for a moment, but she quickly smiled again. "Then he must have gone to pick up our child. Judging by the time, he should be back soon."
Feng Xia quickly added, "However, we found a letter there..."
The proprietress murmured as if she hadn't heard, "Hmm, he should have picked up the person by now. It seems I also need to make some preparations."
Feng Xia couldn't help but remind her again: "Boss lady, we found a letter at the butcher shop, it might have been left by your husband..."
"Oh right, guests, your clothes are ready. Why don't you try them on?"
Swish-
Two sets of clothes flew out from behind the screen and landed in the hands of Feng and Xia.
The clothes were made of a very soft and comfortable material. However, Feng Xia secretly activated a wisp of magic power and was surprised to find that with his current strength, he couldn't even tear the clothes!
"What terrifying strength! What kind of material is this silk made of? You can find such precious materials in any random clothing shop by the roadside. What exactly is the Heavenly Pattern Divine Kingdom?"
At almost the same time, a slender, fair arm reached out from the side, with an exquisite white dress hanging from its crook.
"Asha..."
"Uh? Okay, okay, I understand. Shall I help you get dressed? But speaking of which, Youniang, haven't you been a little... well, less and less willing to move yourself these past few days?!"
Feng Xia looked at the girl in front of him, who was calmly opening her arms, and sighed for no apparent reason:
"Fine, whatever you want..."
……
Chapter 0101
Feng Xia had to admit that...
The proprietress has really good taste.
At least compared to before I time-traveled, when all I knew about when I went out was jeans and a T-shirt, this was a world of difference.
Wearing a white robe embroidered with black silk threads, he perfectly matched Feng Xia's temperament. When the young man in the bronze mirror turned around, even Feng Xia herself couldn't help but click her tongue in admiration.
"Damn, he actually looks kind of respectable..."
Especially when he smiles, it always gives people a feeling of warmth and comfort, making them unconsciously like this young man and believe everything he says without reservation.
