Queen Awakens

Chapter 10 Chapter [-] The Outside World
In the middle of winter, there was another night of heavy snow last night. This year’s snow seems to be particularly frequent. The old people say that the auspicious snow heralds a good year, and the people in the streets and alleys are very happy. It’s almost the Chinese New Year, and the streets are starting to be lively.

"Uncle, I want a bunch of this kind of candied haws!" Xiao Yiyou, who slipped out of the door, spoke sweetly while standing beside a small cart.She was wearing a fiery red dress that had remained unchanged for thousands of years, and a black hooded cloak and trench coat over it.The hat she wears is fluffy and cute.

She hadn't slipped out for a long time, and last time she hugged Xiao Rui's arm and begged in every possible way for nearly an hour before she was allowed to go out to buy daily necessities with Xiao Rui.But Xiao Rui never left, she couldn't even wander around.

This time Xiao Rui went out to meet clients. Since the three of them needed money for basic necessities, Xiao Rui became a leisurely jeweler who didn't want to be rich but only needed enough. As for where did he get those beautiful jewels.

He never told the two children that Xiao Rui was the one who knew the jewelry warehouse in Lou's castle the most, except for Lou Nantian.He has been back several times, so he brought back a batch of jewelry.Lou's house was almost covered by the bushes in that forest, but what made him miserable was that he could do nothing but wait.This hatred can only be buried in his heart, all he can do now is to ensure the safety of the two children. .

And Xiao Yiyou took advantage of him going out today, and Xiao Lanfeng had been concentrating on his training and improving his skills, so she slipped out.

"Here, here! Kid, why did you come out by yourself? What about your family?" The kind uncle selling candied haws asked concerned.In this weather, would a child take to the streets by himself?
"I came out by myself, uncle, I'll give you the money." Xiao Yiyou has already started eating.She handed over a one-dollar coin.

"This is two yuan, little beauty." The aunt standing next to her reminded.

"But I only have one." Xiao Yiyou said a little unhappy, she knew that she would have taken more from the table.

It was the first time she used this shiny coin by herself.The last time Uncle Shaw took her to go shopping in a big supermarket, he swiped his card.She never had a chance to see how the money was used.

Since she woke up, this is the second time she has left that house. Uncle Shaw said that the modern things outside are not good things.So everything in this house is different from other houses, and it still maintains the retro style, but Xiao Yiyou has never seen it before, so she doesn't question it.

She just thinks the modern tools outside that she doesn't remember are fun, and nothing else.What she does most is to practice fighting with Xiao Lanfeng, she likes martial arts very much.She didn't realize the difference between herself and those children outside, because she had never seen it before.

"Okay, okay, let's eat it, it's almost Chinese New Year, children, don't worry about it." The uncle said kindly.

"You're just a nice guy." Auntie nagged, but didn't really insist.

"Thank you uncle." Xiao Yiyou immediately said happily.She likes this uncle, but auntie, she doesn't like it.

"You're welcome, go find your parents." The uncle waved his hand, indicating that she could go.

Parents?Xiao Yiyou was stunned for a moment, who is that?But she didn't bother to ask, anyway, she ate candied haws.

"Goodbye, uncle!" Xiao Yiyou also waved her hand and ran away.Along the way, she looked at the people and things around her, feeling very novel.

Unknowingly, she walked along the crowd. Originally, she planned to take a look and go back, but she seemed to have forgotten her original intention.

"Beep-beep!" The piercing sound of the car sounded impatiently behind him.Xiao Yiyou frowned, she had to let go of the candied haws and turned her head to look behind.

A private car was behind her, and everyone on the street gave way to both sides, but now only Xiao Yiyou was still blocking the way.It seems that the impatience of the owner cannot be blamed...

But, who told her to be Xiao Yiyou, or the little Yiyou who was interrupted to eat candied haws, so she obediently stepped aside, and then a certain car drove past her as she wished.But a few seconds later, the car suddenly made a muffled sound and braked suddenly to stop on the road.

Soon the owner of the car came down, and he looked around inexplicably, and found that the car had a flat tire.Then he found a half wooden pick stuck in the tire on the flat tire.

"What's going on?" Someone in the car suddenly rolled down the window and asked in a cold tone.Xiao Yiyou followed the voice and saw a young woman in a white leather jacket. She looked at the man who got out of the car with some dissatisfaction.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Zhou, the car has a flat tire. I don't know why half of the wooden stick got stuck in it. I need to change the spare tire." The man said to the woman with some anxiety. Everyone knew that this man was her driver.

"Wooden stick?" The young woman suddenly looked around, and finally her eyes fell on Xiao Yiyou intentionally or unintentionally.

Xiao Yiyou was startled, and hurriedly put away the candied haws in her hand. It was true that half of the wooden stick was missing from it. Just now, she threw it into the tire of the car... It was accurate, and the move was successful.But she felt that most people would not care about her, but this woman——

"Miss Zhou?" the driver called again cautiously.

"Then why are you still standing there? Change it." This woman's name is Zhou Ping, and she is a third-rate assassin in the dark world.Her usual status is that of a noble lady.

She just quickly realized that it might not be an accident, so years of intuition made her look around, but to her surprise, there was no similar person.Except that the kid eating candied haws is a bit strange, she gives people a different feeling.

Seeing Xiao Yiyou withdrawing her hand, Zhou Ping was even more sure that the problem was her, so she opened the car door and got out.

Xiao Yiyou blinked her eyes, pretended nothing had happened, and started to leave the scene.

"Little sister, wait a minute." Zhou Ping suddenly walked a few steps quickly to block Xiao Yiyou's path, and Xiao Yiyou frowned.

"Auntie, I don't know you. What's the matter?" She was a little unhappy, so she ignored Zhou Ping's little sister and called Auntie directly.Sure enough, Zhou Ping's expression changed, but she returned to her smile after a while.

"What's your name? You really look like a friend of mine. Maybe I know your mother." Zhou Ping patiently tried to figure out something.

"What mother? You are so strange, I'm going home." Xiao Yiyou felt very disliked by this woman.So she found a gap and ran.Relying on her small size, she squeezed into the crowd.

"Hey! Wait!" Zhou Ping chased after her.But because there are many people around.She had to go around.When she looked over again, she found that Xiao Yiyou had disappeared.

"Impossible!" Zhou Ping questioned in her heart, it is impossible for such a small child to disappear from her sight in an instant.This kid is not easy!She suddenly remembered one thing, although she was not sure, she felt the need to try.

"Are you ready?!" Zhou Ping asked back in front of the car.

"Okay, okay." The driver wiped his sweat and responded to her.

"Then let's go." Zhou Ping sat in and had something on her mind.

And just as the car left the downtown area and entered a section of the road, there was a sudden loud explosion.No one in the car came out again.

Not far from the burning fire, a figure appeared.He looked at the destroyed cars and people, turned and left the scene.
