............................
Perhaps it was because she had seen Sister Maruko's true form so many times that the little girl had already developed a strong resistance to this kind of "mental pollution".
After a few days of difficult adaptation, she gradually got used to the strange world in her eyes.
No matter if it was someone with festering sores all over his body or someone with lots of worms, even though she was a little scared in her heart, Tangtang was able to get along with them normally.
It is also because of this that her "View of White Bones" naturally entered the next stage.
pat-
The little girl's hand holding the soy milk suddenly shook, and the whole bowl fell to the ground and broke into two pieces.
"Guest, you didn't get burned anywhere, did you?"
The stall owner was very good at doing business. He did not feel sorry for his bowl, but instead took care of Tangtang first.
"No, I didn't get burned."
Pieces of rotten meat fell from the stall owner's body, and in a moment he turned into a skeleton.
This is the state of [rottenness], a mysterious state that can only be entered by practicing the White Bone Contemplation to an extremely high level.
It took Master Jingguan most of her life to reach this realm, but Tangtang reached it in just a few days.
However, the little girl was not happy, because not only the stall owner, but everyone who came into her sight turned into moving and talking skeletons.
The already strange world seemed to become even stranger. Tangtang looked worried and took out all the copper coins she had and gave them to the stall owner as compensation.
"I'm sorry, Tangtang didn't mean it."
Uh.
"Little girl, you gave it to the wrong person." The uncle who passed by Tangtang waved his hand quickly: "The stall owner is not me, but him."
The view of white bones brought Tangtang a new trouble, that is - she couldn't easily tell who was who.
"Ah, where is the stall owner?"
A skeleton walked up to Tangtang and said in a confused tone: "Customer, I am the stall owner."
"sorry!"
After stuffing all the copper coins into the skeleton's hand, the little girl ran away.
..................................
"Poor little girl, I'll buy you something to eat."
"Thank you, Sister Skeleton!"
The woman was stunned when she heard such a strange answer.
You could say it was an insult to her, as the little girl didn't look very happy. But how could you praise someone like that in the world?
Shaking her head, the woman bought a string of candied haws and handed it to Tangtang.
"Eat quickly, don't let others snatch it away." After saying that, she waved to the little girl and left.
The woman's exhortation is actually unnecessary, because...
If you observe carefully, you will find a very interesting phenomenon, that is, there is not even a beggar on the street where Tangtang is!
There used to be a lot of beggars here, but recently they have all been scared away.
It's no wonder they want to run away. Think about it, if your 'colleagues' on this street went crazy one after another and ended up either committing suicide or gouging out their eyeballs and then committing suicide, wouldn't you run away quickly?
Those who died were beggars who were ignored by everyone. If not, the whole town would be in panic now.
Chapter 011: Full forehead and round chin
He was wearing luxurious fur coat and holding a peach blossom fan in his hand.
The young man was walking on the street leading his horse, looking so calm and unrestrained.
"How strange! I didn't see a single beggar along the way. Is this still the Kingdom of Wu?"
As the young man was wondering, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the small figure covered with a blanket.
He smiled silently, shook his head and walked away from the little girl.
"..."
After walking a few steps, the man suddenly stopped.
He stepped back to the little girl and looked at her face carefully.
The forehead is full and the chin is square.
Her delicate oval face reveals a rare sense of open-mindedness and generosity.
It is really outrageous that such a great face appeared on a little beggar.
The young man was looking at Tangtang, and Tangtang was also looking at him.
This person is very strange!
The girl had seen a lot of skeletons these past two days, and she had figured out some patterns.
The skeleton with a narrow and high buttocks (pelvis) is a male skeleton, while the skeleton with a wide and short buttocks is a female skeleton.
But the butt of the person in front of me...how to put it, it's very subtle.
"Are you a male skeleton or a female skeleton?" The little girl couldn't keep the secret and asked because she felt it was strange.
"How do I look like a skeleton?"
The young man smiled and asked, "Little guy, can you stand up?"
"Yes," Tangtang stood up directly.
Her legs are not disabled, okay, she's the one!
"Do you want to watch a magic show and have a feast?"
Of course, the little girl nodded repeatedly.
"My name is Zhou Xu. Do you have a name?"
"Candy!"
"Okay, Tangtang, I'll show you a magic trick first. Then, as long as you promise to do me a small favor, I'll take you to a feast."
The little girl agreed without any hesitation and looked at Zhou Xu with anticipation.
"Haha, you can't perform magic tricks here. Come with me."
....................
Zhou Xu brought Tangtang to the inn, first hired a rough woman to help her wash her hair, and then took the little girl shopping and bought her a lot of new clothes.
"thank you"
Tangtang thanked him happily and then asked, "Can you perform magic tricks now?"
"Let's go back to the inn and change it for you."
Back at the inn, Zhou Xu asked the little girl to close her eyes and sit on the chair.
"Ah, my face feels cold!"
"It's a beauty cream, don't talk yet."
The little girl nodded, and Zhou Xu quickly said, "Don't move, it will be fine soon."
About a cup of tea later, the man laughed.
"Don't be frightened, open your eyes!"
Tangtang opened her eyes and found a bronze mirror already placed in front of her.
The little girl in the bronze mirror has a pointed chin, single eyelids, thin lips tightly pursed, and a hint of unruliness on her face.
All in all, the little girl in the bronze mirror did not look like Tangtang at all. Zhou Xu did not lie to Tangtang. He really performed a great trick.
The man smiled and waited for the girl to show shock, but ah but...
Tangtang not only sees others as skeletons, but also sees herself as a skeleton.
So she just tilted her head in confusion, and then there was no follow-up.
"..."
"........"
The smug smile on Zhou Xu's face gradually froze, and he said dryly: "Well, why don't you say something."
"what did you say?"
"Tell me what you think!"
Thoughts?
The little girl scratched her head, indicating that she didn't have any feelings.
"Uh, don't you realize that your face has become someone else's?"
"No, Tangtang can hardly distinguish other people's faces now, not even her own."
Are you extremely face-blind? But your level of face-blindness is too high!
..................
It's like an artist who has spent a lot of effort to complete a work. He is looking forward to the audience's reaction, but the other party just says "That's it?"
No, it's even worse than that!
Because the little girl is face-blind, you can't refute what she says.
"The trick, has it changed?"
"It's getting better, but it's a pity you can't see it."
Tangtang said "Oh" and showed a regretful expression.
Forget it, let’s get back to the topic. Whether she is face-blind or not will not affect what happens next.
Zhou Xu coughed lightly and said, "Tangtang, we agreed that you would do me a small favor later."
"What are you busy with?"
"I have a friend who held a full-moon banquet for his son. It would be unbecoming for me to go there alone, so I had to have a servant boy with me."
I see. It turns out that you want Tangtang to be your servant.
The little girl was willing to help and immediately offered to help.
"There is one more thing you should pay attention to"
Zhou Xu continued to remind him, "Don't talk while eating, and don't smile at others. Just keep a straight face."
"Eh?"
The little girl looked at Zhou Xu in confusion, not understanding why he made such a request.
"A book boy is like this. He can't talk too much and his facial expressions must not be too expressive, otherwise he will look unprofessional." Zhou Xu explained seriously.
Tangtang thought about it and quickly agreed.
In order to enjoy a good meal, you might as well be a professional servant.
but......
"Uncle Zhou, what does professional mean?"
"Professional means very good." Zhou Xu sighed and said, "Also, don't call me uncle. I'm still young!"
.....................
The Dong family has been in the fur business for more than fifty years, and the current head of the family, Dong Feixiong, is also a well-known figure in the town.
This time he held a full-moon banquet for his son. Not only did all the people who were supposed to attend show up, but there were even unexpected surprises!
"Mr. Zhou is so honored to be here. I am sorry for not coming to greet you."
Originally, I sent the invitation to the Zhou family just because I didn't want to be rude. After all, the two parties do have some business relationship. I never thought that the two young people from the Zhou family would actually come.
