Guide to the Empress becoming a God

Chapter 869 The Old Lady Who Appeared Suddenly

While talking, Tan Xiangzi kept looking longingly at Mr. Storyteller.

He always had a premonition that if they gave up this opportunity, they might never have the chance to break through the barrier set by that monster again.

The gentleman in front of him, himself, and Zhener, the whole town...

It might be over.

However, in his expectant eyes, the storyteller still shook his head in the end.

Tan Xiangzi felt a deep sadness in his heart instantly.

"Well, can't you give it a try?"

Tan Xiangzi's attitude suddenly became extremely humble, and his eyes on Mr. Storyteller changed from anticipation to pleading, but there was still no sign of coercion.

Seeing him like this, the storyteller's expression was also a little sad.

He could understand Tan Xiangzi's mood, but in the end he still shook his head persistently.

"Others don't know the situation in this place, but you know it all too well. This girl is only at the Golden Core stage. If we turn to her for help, it is tantamount to harming her! If so, what is the difference between you and me?"

Tan Xiangzi's expression was startled, and finally he lowered his head dejectedly: "I know, but I... hey!"

He finally sighed heavily, took out the bottle of wine that Yanyan gave him from his pocket, put it gently on the table, turned and walked outside without saying anything.

The storyteller stretched out his hand and slowly took the bottle of wine left by Tan Xiangzi in his hand.

Because the jug was carried in his arms, the body of the jug was still warm, and the old man couldn't help but moisten his eyes again.

Looking up at the same hunched and thin figure who had already walked to the door, his eyes gradually blurred...

Farewell tonight, I don't know when I will see you again.

Even, I don't know if we can meet again...

Stepping over the old and dilapidated threshold of the tea shop, the candlelight was hidden by the wooden boards, Tan Xiangzi finally couldn't help but grabbed his sleeve and wiped his face fiercely.

Sucking hard on his sour nose, he looked around the streets, looking for Yan Yan's figure.

Then he saw the slender figure of the girl standing not far away, in front of another lighted shop.

That is Chen Zhen's dim sum shop.

Seeing the girl standing quietly, Tan Xiangzi didn't rush to find someone, leaned heavily on the door panel, and waited silently on the spot.

In fact, Yanyan had already noticed the Chen family dim sum shop before she entered the tea shop just now.

The main reason is whether you want to pay attention or not.

The whole street was dark, but a wind lantern just in front of the shop was on, like a lonely lighthouse standing on the vast sea.Add a little bit of sound and warmth to this deadly quiet town.

Yanyan hardly thought about it, as soon as she walked out of the tea shop, she walked towards the Chen family dim sum shop.

Chen Zhen said that his mother got up at [-] o'clock every day to make snacks, so it was not surprising that there were bright lights in front of the dim sum shop.

Walking to the pastry shop, the wooden boards on the door face have been removed, and they are neatly leaning against the shop.

There is a large earthen stove on each side of the door, and on the stove are two large steamers stacked on top of each other. The flames in the hearth are very prosperous, and the steaming white gas on the cages almost pushes away the bamboo woven lid.

There was no one in the shop, Yan Yan guessed that the lady of the Chen family was probably busy behind, so she called out: "Madam proprietress, buy buns..."

She yelled several times in a row before she heard a slight movement from the backyard.

After a while, a short figure appeared in the dark corridor leading to the back house, and it was obvious that he was walking towards this side.

It's just that the opponent's footsteps are obviously faltering.

Yanyan was a little surprised and raised her eyebrows.

Although the light in the aisle is dim, with Yanyan's eyesight, one can tell at a glance that this is a rather old woman, definitely not the crisp and neat lady of the Chen family.

Because of his age, his legs and feet were somewhat inconvenient, and it took him a while to walk out of the dark corridor and come to the light in front of the door.

Yan Yan could see more clearly at this moment, in front of her was a stooped old lady, her thinning and gray hair was wrapped in a blue and white floral turban that was washed to the point of fraying.

The style of the headscarf is exactly the same as the apron worn by the old lady, even the degree of washing is the same.

The style of this floral fabric looked familiar to Yan Yan.

She vaguely remembered that the lady of the Chen family was also wearing such a coarse apron and a blue cloth and white floral headscarf, but it was much newer than the old lady's.

Seeing Yanyan, the old lady squinted her eyes and nodded lightly to her, said nothing, moved a large cage on the stove with difficulty in her hands and feet.

Seeing that the old man was going to move the big drawer, Yan Yan hurriedly walked around the counter in front of the door, walked to the drawer first, and moved away the floors that the old man was going to move.

Then, the expressions of Yan Yan and the old man froze for a moment at the same time.

The two looked at the steamed buns in the drawer in surprise at the same time...

In the cage drawer, half of the sticky bean buns that were neatly stacked suddenly disappeared, and it seemed that they had just been taken away.

Yan Yan raised her head, only to find that the old lady was not angry at all, her lips curled up, and she showed a kind smile.

With this smile, the wrinkles on her face stretched and changed with the movements of her facial expressions. It looked a little humorous, but it made people feel kind and comfortable.

The old lady's lips moved, but she never said anything.

But Yan Yan could see full of doting from every wrinkle on the old man's face.

Yan Yan guessed that the dim sum must have been taken away by Chen Zhen.

But who is this strange old woman in front of her?

While the old lady was filling her with bean bags, she couldn't help but look at the old man carefully.

Although the old man is very old, and his bones have become bent or even deformed due to the ravages of time, the facial features of the other party can still be vaguely seen when he was young.

She suddenly discovered that the old lady looked a bit like the lady of the Chen family.

She also found that the old lady hadn't said a word to her from beginning to end.

Yan Yan suddenly realized.

This old lady is probably Chen Zhen's grandmother!

There were no guests in the early morning, and the lady of the Chen family was probably busy working in the back kitchen, so she couldn't take care of the front. The old lady felt sorry for her daughter, so she came out to help take care of the business.

At such an advanced age, he still gets up early to help and do things. This is definitely a diligent and kind old man.

Thinking of this, Yan Yan immediately developed a good impression of the old man in front of her.

When receiving the buns, she handed the five big buns to the old lady, Yanyan flicked her fingers secretly again, and a piece of silver fell into the pocket of the old lady's floral apron.

Yan Yan showed a bright smile towards the old man: "Thank you mother-in-law, I'm leaving!"

The old lady was a little slow to react, she couldn't see the shape of her lips clearly, and the expression on her face was a little dazed.

But when he saw Yan Yan's crooked smiling eyes, the creases on his face immediately unfolded, and he showed such a kind smile again.

The old lady looked at Yanyan quietly, and smiled very quietly.

Yanyan suddenly discovered that this old lady not only looked like a lady from the Chen family, but even her smile, her eyes... were exactly the same as the lady of the Chen family.

　I wish the lovers get married eventually, and the dogs get out of singles as soon as possible. Happy Valentine's Day!
