Underworld Private Kitchen

Because Bai Xuyao ​​had guessed that Doubao absorbed his own soul power before successfully turning into a yin-yang dog, so after learning that Doubao was missing, he calmed down Shen Qing immediately, and began to try to sense Doubao's position. Although it was vague, the general direction was correct, so one person and two ghosts went out again to look for Xiongzizhi without taking a breath.

In such a huge city of S, it is not easy to find a child in a short period of time just relying on the general direction. Not to mention whether there are any monsters in the city that have not been caught, as Cui Yu also mentioned, there are still a few A ghost has possessed a human body and disappeared without a trace. For a child like Doubao, where is the safe place in such a situation?Every time she thought of these things, Shen Qing couldn't calm down.

Following the direction Bai Xuyao ​​sensed, before they knew it, they passed through most of the city and came to the Jinhu District in the west of the city. This area is close to the famous school district, where the No. [-] Middle School in City S is located. There are many high-end residential areas and department stores around it. Buildings and movie theaters are complete, and the catering industry is also developing well, as if it has developed into an independent business district.When they got here, Bai Xuyao ​​could no longer sense the smell of bean buns, so they could only look for them nearby.

The alert of the whole city was issued, so it is understandable that the place is deserted. Shen Qing walked all over the streets and alleys, and his mental power has been stretched to the limit. I walked around the No. [-] Middle School in the city, shook my head after coming out, and finally only the neighborhood around the school remained.

There are three communities here, the distance between them is relatively far, and the greening is well done. It is just right for one person and two ghosts to find separately.Shen Qingjin's community is the smallest one, and it is the farthest from the school, so it is also the quietest. There is an artificial lake in the center of the community, and there are pavilions and water corridors around it. The corridors are entwined with flowers. It is a good place to enjoy the cool and rest. You can see a corner from the gate of the community.And those housing areas are not densely populated, with the artificial lake as the center, far or near, the architectural style is all ancient.

Walking in it, Shen Qing felt that the neighborhood was too quiet. After walking for a long while, he didn't meet a single person. What was strange was that the images transmitted by his mental power became more and more blurred as he went deeper, which disturbed Shen Qing's mind instead. Observing, he simply took back his mental power.After walking around the artificial lake, I found a faint aroma coming from the residential area, which was the smell of food soup.

Shen Qing walked in following the scent, and unexpectedly saw a lot of people standing quietly in the same place, lined up, and would move forward a few steps after a long time, Shen Qing felt that this scene seemed familiar.Going forward, I saw Yunniang's figure, and the destination of these people queuing up was Yunniang's soup restaurant, which was exactly the same as the decoration style in the virtual world.In the virtual world, the location of Yunniang Soup Restaurant is not exactly the location that needs to pass through most of the city, so it is reasonable to see a physical store in this place.

Observing the expressions of several people in the line, Shen Qing quietly retreated to the end of the line, and wanted to leave under the cover of the crowd. Unfortunately, Yun Niang, who greeted the guests at the door, spotted Shen Qing's figure first, and stepped forward. He came up to him with small steps, "Is it Shen Qing? What a coincidence, why don't you come in and sit down."

Shen Qing stepped forward helplessly, and said with a smile, "I was just passing by, and I didn't want to disturb you."

Yun Niang covered her mouth and smiled, "Why be so polite, we are all acquaintances, come in with me."

Following Yunniang into the restaurant, the strange fragrance lingering on the tip of her nose was even worse than in the virtual world, but Shen Qing was holding her heart unbearably, her face was a little ugly.Yunniang looked at the almost full crowd in the store, and stroked the black hair hanging from her temples, "It's my fault, I forgot that there is no place in this store, why don't you go to the inner room with me, my child is also inside, I can’t rest easy while eating, and I’m complaining about being bored.”

"Child? So Yunniang is already married and has children?" Shen Qing clenched her fists under her nose and coughed twice.

"No, I picked it up, my husband abandoned me, Yunniang has been looking for him, how could there be a child..." Yunniang's eyebrows and eyes were sad, with a haggard look.

"Sorry." Shen Qing narrowed her eyes to cover up the coldness in her eyes, "Just go to the inner room, please trouble Yunniang."

Yunniang led Shen Qing through the hall of the restaurant, and walked to the inner room. When the sound of Shen Qing's footsteps disappeared, the restaurant returned to silence. These dozens of people gathered around the table without talking, and there was no emotion on their faces. , only a pair of dark eyes blinked from time to time, the hands were mechanically picking up vegetables and chewing, and the bowls and chopsticks did not make any sound when they collided. It was like an absurd black and white pantomime. Dishes are the only color.

There is a small yard between the inner room and the hall. There is a dead tree in the yard, and the flower beds are also bare. There are no flowers or plants. Instead, they are filled with sealed pots and jars, layer by layer. Yunniang noticed Shen Qing She explained in a soft voice, "This jar contains my treasures for many years. If you are interested, Yunniang is willing to let you take a look."

"No need." After Shen Qing refused Yunniang's offer, she lowered her head and silently followed behind Yunniang without looking around.

After a while, Yunniang stopped in front of a wooden carved door, "Xiaowei, Yunniang brought friends to see you, open the door." After saying that, Yunniang pushed the door open, and Shen Qing moved forward After two steps, his eyes looked inside without blinking.This is a very simple room, with a wooden bed against the wall, a mosquito net hung, the adjacent wooden window is half open, only a little light shines through, and there is a wooden table and a few wooden benches in the middle of the room. , there were a few plates on the wooden table, only the residual juice remained at the bottom of the plate, but the fragrance remained in the air and did not dissipate. A dark shadow in the corner of the bed.

Yun Niang stepped in first, and tidied up the dishes on the table, "Shen Qing, come in, our Xiaowei is more introverted, and likes to hide when he sees strangers, I will prepare some food, you and Xiaowei first Say hello, I'll be right there."

Shen Qing nodded in agreement, and after confirming that Yunniang had left, she slowly came to the bed, but she didn't rush to lift the mosquito net, she just called out, "Xiao Wei?"

The black shadow in the mosquito net moved, and at the same time, an unfamiliar sound of grinding teeth reached Shen Qing's ears, and he couldn't help feeling tense. This was not a bean bun, but after he entered the restaurant, he clearly felt that the bean bun was here. Who is this kid?Shen Qing took two steps back vigilantly, secretly summoned Chuanwu and Xuevine, wrapped them around his arms, and asked again in a low voice, "Xiaowei? Can you talk?"

"I'm hungry..." It was a very hoarse voice. It didn't sound like a child's voice at all. Instead, it sounded like a little old man with a wounded throat. It was like sandpaper rubbing against the wall, and it sounded muffled in his ears.

Shen Qing casually took out a tomato from his pocket and threw it on the bed, but the tomato the size of a child's fist rolled a few times on the wooden bed and stopped when it touched the hanging mosquito net. After a moment of silence, a slender black shadow suddenly appeared In a flash of sight, the tomato disappeared.The corner of Shen Qing's mouth curled up, "You answer my question, and I will continue to give you something to eat."

"……it is good."

"See a chubby kid?"

"Well... I got a new friend today, but he wanted to eat me too, so I threw him away." Xiao Wei's words were full of childlike innocence and cruelty, because in his world, there is no cruelty at all. The concept of the word, whether to oneself, or to others.

Shen Qing's back felt chills for no reason, but because Xiao Wei couldn't get the fruit that Shen Qing promised, she lifted the mosquito net curtain, opened her palm to Shen Qing, and demanded her reward, "Fruit."

Xiaowei looks like a deformed big-headed doll, with no hair and a small face, which makes his big eyes even more frightening. But his blood vessels are obviously much larger than ordinary people, and the veins of blood vessels protrude under the skin, trapping him like an airtight net, and it seems that the blood flowing in the blood vessels can be seen through the light.

Shen Qing took out a pear from his pocket again, and Xiao Wei needed two hands to hold it. After getting the fruit, Xiao Wei shrunk in again, and there was a rustling sound.At the same time, Yunniang came over with a tray, and Shen Qing sat back on the wooden bench, waiting for Yunniang's arrival calmly.

Yun Niang put the tray on the table, rolled up her slightly wider sleeves, revealing her slender wrists. Even the simple movements of picking up the dishes on the tray and putting them on the table were elegant and graceful, with only a slight tilt Her little finger was dyed bright red, which didn't match Yunniang's temperament.After a while, three dishes and one soup were placed on the table, Yunniang also sat down, and introduced the dishes with a smile, "This is what you just saw, the potted meat that Yunniang made secretly is not for sale. , it’s rare for you to come, Shen Qing, so I’ll cook some." She pointed to the delicate bone plate at hand, on which a row of sauced pork slices were neatly stacked, and some dark red sauce was poured on it.With a twist of his wrist, he pointed to the bowl of tender meat soup in front of Shen Qing, "Egg flower tender meat soup is a good product for fighting fatigue. It is a new dish I developed recently. It is very popular. The tender meat is chopped and wrapped in a fragrant The egg flower is soft, tender and fragrant, and children also like to eat it."

"This steamed chicken with red dates and Beiqi, you have already tasted it, so I won't say more, but this soup, Cordyceps flower keel soup, enhances immune function, you didn't taste it last time, so I will serve it specially this time Get some over here."

Following Yunniang's introduction, Shen Qing's eyes flicked over these dishes one by one, and finally returned to the steamed chicken he had eaten. From the smell, he could detect the difference between the raw materials of the two dishes, but Shen Qing's stomach There was still a twitch, her lips were tightly pursed, and her light-colored eyes, which were usually calm, were stained with sternness. When Yunniang pushed the dishes towards Shen Qing and asked him to eat quickly, Shen Qing raised her hand and directly put the table on the table. Overturned to the ground, at the same time, there was a sharp piercing sound, and the alien plants wrapped around Shen Qing's arms had already attacked Yun Niang, the soft leaves became hard, and the stems were as sharp as a blade, which was enough to kill Yun Niang at extreme speed. The mother cut it into foam, and the dense spikes on the blood vine were like thousands of greedy mouths, wanting to suck the sweet and delicious blood.

Under the pincer attack of Chuanwu and Xuevine, Yunniang had no way to avoid it, but she showed a strange smile, "Your son likes those dishes very much, what a pity..." Yunniang's body was torn apart before she finished speaking. It was broken into pieces, and then turned into nothingness, it was just an illusion, and looking inside the wooden bed, Xiao Wei was gone.

Shen Qing's hands were clenched into fists, his knuckles turned white, "Damn it! Beanbags..."
