The old woman's cloudy eyes slowly moved from Zhou Tong's face to her stomach, and seeing her covering her stomach because of hunger, she nodded mechanically, "So I'm hungry, I have some cakes in the room, I Go get it for you."
"Okay, thank you mother-in-law."
The old woman walked slowly into the house leaning on crutches, Zhou Tong looked around, and her eyes fell on the things the old woman touched before.
She just saw that the old lady seemed to be making yarn with this thing, it was amazing.
After a while, the old woman came out from the house.
She held three pieces of cake in her hand, pinched the cake with her dull, yellow hands, and her fingertips sank into the cake. It seemed that it was easy to cause a physiological reaction.
Zhou Tong was so hungry that he didn't care about anything else, he took the cake handed over by the old woman, and couldn't wait to stuff it into his mouth and took a bite.
It tastes surprisingly good.
The cake, which looked dry and devoid of moisture, was crispy and crispy when bitten. After taking one bite, she couldn't help but quickly took another bite.
After eating a piece of cake, Zhou Tong couldn't hide his excitement and said to her, "Grandma, the cake you made is really delicious."
The old woman chuckled, "As long as it's delicious, it's as good as it is delicious."
Zhou Tong was so focused on eating the cake that he didn't hear her low voice.
"The last meal must satisfy you."
After eating the cake, Zhou Tong chatted with her for a while, and then planned to say goodbye and leave.
But the old woman stopped her suddenly, "Little baby, can you do me a favor?"
"Huh? Okay."
The old man stepped aside and let her sit on the chair he had sat on.
"I'm getting old, and my waist can't bear it after working for a while. Can you help me with it for a while and let me have a rest?"
Zhou Tong was very interested in this novelty, let alone the old man who just gave her food, so he immediately agreed, "Okay."
……
The glow in the sky gradually faded away.
Dusk is about to alternate with night.
Only then did Zhou Tong feel that the time seemed to pass a little fast, and it felt like he had only been there for a while, how many hours had passed?
She knew that if it was later, her father would go to her room to find her to attend the coming-of-age ceremony, so she had to go back.
Zhou Tong put down the thread in his hand, "Grandma, it's getting late, I have to go back first, can I come to help you with your work next time?"
The old lady squinted her eyes and nodded, "I'm sorry to trouble you, then go back quickly."
"Wait."
Zhou Tong was about to let go of her hand when the old lady suddenly squeezed her hand.
She was stunned for a moment, her hand, which looked so rough, was actually so smooth when touched.
The old woman held her hand, as if she couldn't see it, and carefully searched on the table, "My needle is a bit blunt, please change it for me."
Zhou Tong smiled helplessly, intending to move her hand away from the needle to another direction, "The needle is not here, it is."
A drop of blood seeped out from her punctured fingertip, Zhou Tong looked at the kind-hearted old woman beside her in disbelief, "Old woman, you..."
Her mind was getting more and more heavy, and her consciousness was gradually disappearing. In a daze, she saw the old man transform into a tall and beautiful woman with a surprisingly beautiful face.
She saw her mouth open, but before she could hear what she said, she fainted.
"Sleep well, my dear girl."
[Host, the plot of "Hand pierced by a spinning needle" has been triggered. 】
[Host, the plot of "falling into a coma" has been triggered. 】
The small town on the flat ground collapsed into ruins the instant she fell to the ground, and a towering city tower was built out of thin air.
Thick and thorny green vines broke out from the ground, twisted into knots, and wrapped the tower.
The girl on the ground disappeared at some point, and at the top of the tower, in the empty room, a stunning girl was lying on a soft bed, deeply asleep.
The orange-red sunset light seemed to be taken back into the bag suddenly, and in just a moment, the sky was as black as ink.
This day, after all, has changed.
Chapter 73 ([-])
Zhou Tong thought that when he opened his eyes, he would see the prince who had gone through hardships and woke him up with the kiss of true love, and then he could leave here.
What caught the eye was a pure white ceiling.
Except for himself, there is no trace of human breath around.
She rubbed her head, she was still a little dizzy, she stretched out her hand to look, and she didn't know where the small hole pierced by the needle had gone.
Looking out, the eyes are full of clouds that are close at hand.
Only the system can explain all this, so Zhou Tong called the system out after resting on the bed for a while.
[001, why is this different from the fairy tales I read.Why did Sleeping Beauty wake up when the prince didn't come? 】
[Host, the Sleeping Beauty in this world is not the same as in regular fairy tales. 】
【Um?What's the difference? 】
[The Sleeping Beauty here, she just suffers from restless sleep, and she didn't sleep until the prince came to find her. 】
【…What is the disorder of sleep? 】
[It means waking up and waking up, but I don’t know how long after waking up, I will fall asleep again, and I will wake up automatically after sleeping for a while, so it goes back and forth until the prince appears. 】
【...Crap settings. 】
【thanks. 】
【…】
Zhou Tong suddenly collapsed on the bed, there is nothing here, she will not die of starvation or thirst here tomorrow, right?
[Host, auspicious people have their own auspices, and accidents always come before the prince. 】
【...I've asked you to cut off the radio waves, why haven't you left yet. 】
【Okay, I'll leave right away. 】
【…】
……
Zhou Tong lay on the bed and closed his eyes, trying desperately to fall asleep quickly.
As a result, the more I thought about it, the clearer my mind became.
Lying on the bed trying to fall asleep for a long time to no avail, she pulled the quilt away with a palm and stood up from the bed.
There was nothing in the room except a bed. She walked to the window and reached out to grab it.
Grabbed a hand of air.
The clouds that are so close can't be grasped.
Zhou Tong lay on the window sill and grabbed the cloud for a while, and then he was so bored that he thought of jumping directly.
If she dies a few more times, will the system change the settings for her, and then she can sleep until the end of the story.
This idea was approved by all the cells in her body, urging her to die quickly.
Zhou Tong made a decision, pushed open the door, and stood behind the balcony railing.
As long as she crosses here and takes two steps forward, she can die.
Zhou Tong hasn't experienced bungee jumping yet. He always wanted to go before, but he was always busy with work and didn't have time.
Thinking about it this way, what I am about to do seems to be not much different in nature from bungee jumping, except that a rope is missing.
She immediately became interested. She was a little forced and helpless a second ago, but now she can't help it at all.
Bungee jumping!
To be more precise, skydiving to death!
Excited, she turned over and stood outside the railing, grabbing the railing with the back of her hand.
Looking down from such a high place, everything below becomes smaller than a grain of rice.
Zhou Tong felt the wind blowing towards his ears, and his long golden hair fluttered and danced in the wind.
She opened her hands lightly, posing the classic pose in the Titanic, slowly closed her eyes, counted to three in her heart, and then fell forward suddenly.
"Ròu Si, I jumped!"
【Grass! 】
For the first time, the system, which has always spoken without emotional ups and downs, opened its mouth dirty.
But it couldn't do anything, it could only watch and feel Zhou Tong's fall.
Zhou Tong closed his eyes and felt the ultimate experience of his body passing through layers of clouds, and opened his hands very excitedly, "Oh my god, it's so exciting."
[It's the first time I've met someone who is so happy looking for death. 】
[? ? ?What’s wrong with you. 】
[The program that was angry with you crashed. 】
【…】
Zhou Tong hadn't had a few words in his head to chat with the system that suddenly changed his temper when he suddenly fell to the soft ground.
She opened her eyes all of a sudden, she didn't see the blood and flesh splashing around, but was surprised to find that she actually flew back up again.
Zhou Tong looked down, only to realize that he did not land on the ground, but on the dark gray back of something.
She looked forward stupidly, and saw a thick and long tail. In front of the tail, there was engraved a thing surrounded by seven petals that looked like a brand, and on the tail, there was a cluster of sparks.
She couldn't control her shock and fell to the side.
Zhou Tong, who was sitting on the edge of the dragon's back, immediately fell down again, and was caught by the dragon's swift hands. Lying in the soft palm of the dragon, Zhou Tong felt that he was about to faint.
What happened to the sudden appearance of the fire-breathing dragon?
The so-called fire-breathing dragon didn't throw her on its back again, and directly caught her with the dragon's palm, and brought her back to the top of the high-altitude tower.
It spread its palm towards the balcony, and carefully put Zhou Tong back on the balcony.
Zhou Tong stood on the balcony with a dazed expression, apparently still not recovering from this sudden change.
The dragon stopped in the air in front of her, its wide wings flapping slowly to keep its body in the air.
It stared at Zhou Tong with round eyes, as if it was not in a hurry to greet her, but was waiting for her to recover.
Zhou Tong blew the cold wind on the balcony for a while, and finally turned his head around.
She stretched out her hand, first pointing to the giant dragon staring at her in front of her, and then pointing back at herself, "You, saved me?"
The giant dragon nodded, shaking its head up and down, and the magnitude of the vibration brought some wind.
"Why save me?"
The giant dragon didn't speak, but waved its tail towards her.
Seeing its movements, Zhou Tong took a few steps back in fright, joking, if she was flicked by this tail, she could die on the spot.
What's more, there was fire on the tail, she didn't want to be burned to death.
The dragon's tail easily knocked down the railings outside the balcony. Seeing that the obstacle disappeared, it lifted its tail and shook it twice. Zhou Tong saw a group of fragrant lotus leaves being thrown to the balcony superior.
The tail was retracted behind the dragon, and it stretched out its tongue towards Zhou Tong, pointing to the lotus leaf that fell more than ten centimeters in front of her, meaning let her take it.
Zhou Tong confirmed it again, "Is this for me?"
The giant dragon nodded again, this time with a bit more force, and when the wind blew, Zhou Tong was pushed back a certain distance.
It didn't dare to move at once, and stared at her innocently with its big eyes.
Zhou Tong smoothed his somewhat messy hair, and walked over to pick up the lotus leaves that had been burnt to charcoal gray on the ground.
The temperature has cooled down because of the gust of wind just now, and it is just right in my hand, neither too hot nor too cold.
She opened the wrapped lotus leaf, and there was a roasted golden pheasant inside.
As soon as the smell of pheasant came out of the lotus leaf, Zhou Tong's stomach was hungry immediately.
Immediately, she didn't have the energy to worry about where the dragon caught the chicken, and how she put the chicken in the lotus leaf and hid it on her tail so it wouldn't fall off.
Zhou Tong tore off the fattest leg, opened his mouth to take a bite, and stomped his feet on the ground twice excitedly, "It's so delicious!"
The giant dragon in the air seemed very happy to see what she liked, and the grinning mouth never fell off.
After gnawing on a chicken leg, Zhou Tong realized that there was a dragon on the side.
She looked at the dragon and thought about thanking it.
"Although I don't know your name, I still want to thank you, Charizard."
The fire-breathing dragon lady who had never opened her mouth refused Zhou Tong's address request: "No, I have a name."
"Call me, Anhui, the fire-breathing dragon that defends the city, Evil Ba."
Chapter 74 ([-])
"..."
Zhou Tong swallowed the piece of meat in his mouth with great effort, so as not to spit it out.
She blinked, pinched the second chicken leg, looked at her knowingly and said, "Oh, your name is Amba."
Miss Ba, the fire-breathing dragon guarding the city, solemnly repeated her name, "Please call me that in the future."
Zhou Tong: "..."
……
In the end, Zhou Tong simply sat down on the ground.
Anyway, there is no one around, so the image is relatively not that important.
While gnawing on the grilled chicken in her hand, she chatted with the giant dragon without saying a word.
She learned from the brief conversation that Amba had come to find her on purpose.
It doesn't know who to look for, it only knows that there is a voice in its heart telling it, "I want to fly to the top of the highest tower, to accompany the girl who will spend the long journey alone."
"How do you know I'm that girl?"
"Intuition." After finishing speaking, Anba shook her tail, "The intuition of our dragon clan is several times more accurate than that of your humans."
"By the way," Amba asked, "who did you call just now?"
"Ok?"
"That's the person you yelled when you jumped down just now, what kind of meat is it, is it a woman?"
"..."
……
"I'm too big to sleep in the house with you, but it doesn't matter. I will stay outside and watch you. It doesn't matter if we dragons don't sleep."
Amba was a little reluctant to say to Zhou Tong who planned to go back to the room and lie down for a while.
"Why are you looking at me?"
Because of what he said, goosebumps immediately appeared on Zhou Tong's body. Anyone who was stared at by a pair of eyes all night would probably find it difficult to calm down.
"I like you."
"My mother dragon said that if you like someone, you have to look at her, and I came here to find you, so I must look at you to feel at ease."
Zhou Tong hoped that the liking in the dragon's mouth was not what he thought: "The love between humans and dragons has no future."
But Amba's words confirmed her fleeting thought, "It's okay, I'm satisfied just looking at you."
"It's been half a day since we met, right?"
"You humans have a saying, what is love at first sight? I fell in love with you at first sight."
"..." Zhou Tong felt that this development was a bit ridiculous.
She was afraid that if she stayed with this dragon any longer, the topic would develop in an even weirder direction, so she hurried into the room, "I'm going back to the room."
"Goodbye."
Umber said goodbye without moving.
As it said just now, I have to look at Zhou Tong to feel at ease.
Zhou Tong didn't fall asleep all night.
Because this body has not yet reached sleep time, even if she hypnotizes herself in her mind, her body cannot enter sleep.
At dawn, Amba, who had been lying in the air all night without moving, opened her mouth, "Good morning, I'm so glad to see you again."
The sound penetrated the closed door and rushed into Zhou Tong's ears.
She got up, walked to the balcony, and corrected her mistake, "You've been seeing me."
"Oh, then I'm glad to see you all the time."
Amba said softly, with a very docile attitude.
"Can you get me some water?"
Zhou Tong said this with some embarrassment. She didn't take a bath all night, and her body was really uncomfortable.
Anba nodded, instead of flying down, she poked her head towards the balcony.
An ominous premonition flashed in Zhou Tong's heart.
Seeing An Hui's fire-breathing dragon, the evil Ms. Ba opened her mouth and vomited at her neatly.
