Chapter 264 Haote’s Daughter
This trip was not as planned and goal-oriented as going to Poseidon Island. They stopped and stopped without knowing where the end point was.
But precisely because of this, it is a little more accompanying.
After marching for half a month, the wine in the cupboard has been drunk, and it has completely entered the winter season outside. All the way north, the temperature is getting lower and lower, and there are even several times when everyone is walking. , sporadic light snow began to fall in the sky.
After looking for a small town, a few people decided to take a rest and replenish their supplies.
Although this place is not as prosperous as Soto City, it is full of laughter and laughter everywhere.
Moreover, the eight of them had been jolting on the carriage for a long time. Although they were all very powerful, they still felt a little dizzy while sitting in the carriage.
Therefore, as soon as they entered the town, the four girls expressed their intention to get out of the car and take a walk, and Tang San and the others naturally agreed happily.
Tang San and Xiao Wu walked side by side, and Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing also linked their fingers.
"Xiaosan, this is the jurisdiction of the Silvis Kingdom."
Tang San nodded. The Silvis Kingdom was one of the affiliated kingdoms of the Tiandou Empire. This was his first time here and he didn't know the situation here.
"Hey, hey, I know this, just ask me." Oscar walked between the two pairs and stared at Tang San and Dai Mubai, looking eager to try.
Dai Mubai glanced at it, stretched out his hand to push Oscar's head back, with a smile on his face, and deliberately ignored Oscar.
"Mistress, it doesn't actually matter whether you are or not, you're right."
Tang San heard Dai Mubai's deep meaning, and nodded following his example, "Well, Mubai, what you said is that it really isn't important, we are just passing by and we are not going to meet with the manager here. "
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing looked at each other, smiled in tacit understanding, and pulled their husbands to continue walking forward.
Oscar was left shouting alone.
"You guys!"
But Oscar was never one to give up casually. He called Ning Rongrong over and also called back Ma Hongjun and Ma Hongjun who were choosing gifts for Bai Chenxiang.
He found a corner and pushed everyone in, blocking the outside with one hand on his hips and a somewhat bossy expression.
"Huh, if you don't want to listen, just don't listen. I'll tell our Rongrong family."
Tang San and Dai Mubai sighed in unison, knowing that Oscar couldn't bear it.
Ma Hongjun, on the other hand, is the one who has no eyesight and is not very bright-minded.
He pushed Oscar, and the coins in his hand made a clanking sound.
"I said, you want to tell Rongrong, why did you drag us in? I am in a hurry to buy something for Xiangxiang. The boss said that the thing is very precious and the quantity is limited!"
Ma Hongjun's reaction really left Bai Chenxiang speechless. On the one hand, she was touched by Ma Hongjun's affection for her, but on the other hand, she was helpless because he would actually believe such words.
"Fat man, shush." Bai Chenxiang shook her head at Ma Hongjun and pulled him back to her. "Brother Ao, just say it, we are listening."
Everyone is well aware of Oscar's clever appearance, and Bai Chenxiang and Ning Rongrong are also willing to take the initiative to give him a step down.
"Okay, then I'll tell Rongrong and Xiangxiang, some people will plug their ears, you know!"
After speaking, he mysteriously pulled the two women aside. Ma Hongjun had no choice but to follow because Bai Chenxiang was pulled away by Oscar.
Dai Mubai sighed, "Hey, Xiao Ao, it's true."
But despite this, Oscar's voice was still very loud, and Tang San and Dai Mubai could hear it clearly even if they took a few steps back.
"This is called Xicheng. It is a small town in the south of the Kingdom of Silvis. From here to the north is the boundary of the Kingdom of Silvis. The last time I went to the Far North, I met the right person here. I helped a lot."
Ning Rongrong had obviously heard this story. Oscar made it clear that he wanted to sell it off, but Ning Rongrong spoke immediately.
"Xiao Ao, are you talking about Brother Haote?"
Oscar chuckled, "Rongrong, why did you say it directly?" Despite his words, Oscar's tone was unusually doting.
That unthinking answer also meant that Ning Rongrong took everything about him seriously.
At this point, Tang San and Dai Mubai also raised their feet and leaned over, patting Oscar's shoulders.
"Xiao Ao, every time we ask you to tell this story in detail, you always hide it. Now it seems that it's not that you don't want to tell it, but you don't want to tell it to us."
Dai Mubai raised his hand, hooked Oscar's neck and pressed down hard, "Huh? I think you are the one who values sex over friends."
After being noisy for a while, and seeing that it was noon, they decided to find a place to stay, eat and drink, and then listen to Oscar tell this story.
"Come on, Xiao Ao, since you know this place, you can lead the way. You have to find us a good hotel."
Ma Hongjun rubbed his belly. The wine prepared by his grandfather and Uncle Ning was really delicious. Among the eight people, he and Dai Mubai drank the most. The journey was so comfortable now. How did you say that? ?
He was full and warm and had lustful thoughts. It was because it was so comfortable that it aroused his thoughts of indulgence. He became addicted to alcohol and would drink a few more times no matter what.
Oscar slapped his chest and said, "This matter is all on me." Oscar, who was originally because Dai Mubai and Tang San deliberately ignored him, saw that everyone had given such a major "task" to him, so he immediately changed into smiley face.
Continuing to walk towards the bustling part of the street, the handsome and beautiful faces of the eight people attracted many people to stop frequently.
Although the reputation of the Shrek Seven Monsters has long spread throughout the continent, not everyone can see their true appearance.
Arriving all the way to the center of the street, Oscar looked up at the hotel's plaque and suddenly grinned.
"Hao's Restaurant? This is where you want to take us."
Ma Hongjun's tone was a little frustrated. He thought it was some kind of luxury hotel, but he didn't expect it to be just a small restaurant.
This Haojia Restaurant is considered one of the best restaurants in Xicheng, but Ma Hongjun and others have experienced the most luxurious hotels in Tiandou and Xingluo. They don't mean to look down upon it, but they do have doubts in their hearts.
"Yeah, don't underestimate this restaurant. The wine and food inside are really delicious. I loved the food here. Although the store is a little small, it is more than enough to accommodate the eight of us. "
After hearing that this place was once Oscar's place to stay, several people simply put away their doubts and differences, and started to go in.
Oscar glanced at the plaque outside for several times. Ma Hongjun and the other six had already entered and still refused to look back.
Ning Rongrong didn't say anything to urge her, she just stood aside and waited, imitating Oscar's example and looking at the place carefully.
She couldn't experience Oscar's five years in person, but she was very lucky to be able to walk with him again to the places he had walked and the traces he had left behind.
"Rongrong, let's go." Oscar's stomach made an untimely noise. He scratched his head in embarrassment and reached out to the person next to him.
"Boy, it's full inside and there's no room for us to sit down. You can go to another place and check it out."
Oscar had just raised one of his feet when a little girl rushed towards him in the hall. She looked about fifteen or sixteen years old.
She has long gray hair that reaches her waist, and there is a hint of tenacity between her brows and eyes.
The places around here are all about making money if you can, and even if you can't sit down, you have to force yourself into it. How lucky is this girl that she actually hires people out?
This actually made Oscar and Ning Rongrong find it quite interesting.
Ning Rongrong leaned forward slightly, eye level with the girl, pointed at Tang San's table and said, "Little sister, we came with them."
The Ning Rongrong in front of her had a smile as bright as a flower and was very gentle. When the girl was stared at like this, she immediately averted her eyes and her ears instantly turned red.
"Ah? That's it. You two, go in quickly and I'll get you a stool."
After saying that, he quickly ran to the kitchen, not even waiting for Oscar and Ning Rongrong to come in.
"Xiao Ao, this little sister is really cute. Have you seen her before?"
Oscar shook his head. He left the Qibao Glazed Sect at the age of 17 and came to the Far North for five years, where he teamed up with Hot to hunt soul beasts.
As long as he is not on a mission, he lives here, but he has never seen this person before.
"I haven't seen her before. How old was she at that time? Brother Haote would not hire child labor, but I do think she looks familiar."
"Hey, hey, the food is here, what are you two doing at the door?"
Oscar stared at the girl's back again and again, while Ning Rongrong did the same, standing at the door and completely blocking the door.
Ma Hongjun, who had already cooked, was pushed by Bai Chenxiang to call for people. All the wine and food were served, but Oscar and Ning Rongrong were still not seated, so how could they start the meal?
"Huh? It's nothing, we are just looking at that girl."
"Girl? What girl?" Ma Hongjun's facial features were about to wrinkle together. Xiao Ao was so awesome, how dare he look at other girls in front of Rongrong?
"Stop looking, everyone is waiting for you to eat. I can't stop my alcohol addiction. Come on, come on."
It doesn't matter if Ma Hongjun is a girl or a woman, she has the most to eat at the moment.
He walked behind the two of them and pushed them inside.
There were indeed a lot of people in the hall, and Tang San's table was the largest. It was filled with the restaurant's signature dishes, and the good wine alone was on the four altars.
"Xiao Ao, sit down quickly." Tang San patted the seat next to him and asked Oscar to sit down.
Ning Rongrong sat between Zhu Zhuqing and Bai Chenxiang, but Oscar paused.
This dining table is round, and the one facing the door is clearly the main seat.
When Tang San and the other six came in, it was also the girl who received them.
Ma Hongjun didn't even look at the menu and just said that he would order all the signature dishes, as well as some good wine, and they could drink as much as they wanted.
When they sat down, they had a clear understanding of each other and took the initiative to leave the middle seat to Oscar. This could also be regarded as their tribute to Oscar's trip to the far north seven years later.
Looking around, he saw that everyone was smiling. Oscar didn't refuse and walked directly to the center to sit down.
The wine glasses were filled with fine wine, and the eight people first clinked their glasses together. The aroma of coriander and coriander overflowed, and the generosity of the few people also emerged spontaneously.
The girl sat in front of the counter and watched. She didn't expect that the person who came in last was actually the most distinguished person in the group?To actually be able to take the main seat?
Obviously the one with blue hair has more leadership skills?The one in white is also very domineering. How could it be him?
This girl is also a soul master. She is 15 years old and at level [-].
According to the average soul master academy, this level is already pretty good.
But if compared with Tang San and the other little monsters back then, they were still far behind.
She could tell that this group of people were all soul masters, and their strength was not low.
Of course, in her eyes, anyone whose strength is higher than hers is not considered inferior.
"Xiaobao, come here, give these side dishes to the guests at that table."
A woman came out of the kitchen. She was in her forties, but her charm was still there. A few white hairs could be seen in the bun on the back of her head. Her hands were also very rough, but her eyes were full of love for life, and the corners of her mouth were full of love. Always smile.
"Mom, didn't I tell you not to call my name so loudly?"
The girl's face was a little stunned. She was good at everything, but this name made her feel a little embarrassed.
Hearing his mother calling him so loudly, Xiaobao immediately looked around. Everyone in the hall was immersed in the food and didn't even notice the little episode at the counter.
"Phew, okay, okay, I'll go and see you off. Just remember, don't shout so loudly!"
Xiaobao took the dinner plate from the woman's hand and walked towards Tang San's table.
The business of their restaurant is indeed good, but there are only a few people from the city eating here. The place is remote and no strangers come here at all.
The appearance of Tang San and others made Xiaobao's eyes light up. Not only were they good-looking, but they were also very strong. They might be able to let them take him to hunt spirit beasts in the frozen forest.
"Seniors, this is a side dish given by the shop. Please try it."
Xiaobao shouted at the top of his lungs. His accent was hard to come by without working in a restaurant for several years.
It was this voice that attracted the attention of all the diners in the hall.
Only then did they realize that there was such an outstanding person in this small West City?
Xiaobao followed the gap between Oscar and Dai Mubai, placed the side dishes on the table, and stood beside him with the dinner plate, as if waiting for something.
Upon seeing this, Ma Hongjun immediately took a bite and gave an excellent evaluation.
"Well, not bad, not bad. These side dishes are light and refreshing, just right after eating a lot of fat and meat. It's fragrant, try it quickly, and Dai Boss, Xiao Ao, and Third Brother, you all should try it. It's really good."
Originally, he just wanted the little girl to stop pretending, but Ma Hongjun was really surprised after eating.
Making expensive ingredients into delicious dishes is not great, but making the simplest ingredients such as radish and potatoes into a dish is real craftsmanship.
Ma Hongjun had just eaten a lot of fish and meat, and was feeling greasy and indigestible. Now that the side dishes were served, his appetite was whetted again.
Seeing how Ma Hongjun was eating, the others also moved their chopsticks and came to the same conclusion as before, it was really delicious.
Hearing such comments, Xiaobao's eyes almost burst into laughter. This kind of reaction is the happiest moment for their sellers.
And precisely because they saw the expressions on Tang San and the others, several tables in the hall also ordered side dishes, which unexpectedly boosted profits.
"Is there anything else?"
Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, Zhu Zhuqing simply put down his chopsticks and asked softly.
"Um, I, I want..."
Zhu Zhuqing is a typical cold beauty. In the eyes of outsiders, everything she says and does is arrogant and cold. However, only those who are close to her understand that her slight sense of alienation is just a way to cover up that she is not good at talking to others. Just a way.
This was something that the eight people gradually realized after going through so much.
Xiaobao rarely took the initiative to talk to strangers, let alone a group of such powerful soul masters.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes only glanced at her, and he completely forgot about the request that he had gone through several times in his mind.
"Well, I, I want..."
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were born with a bit of sharpness, and now his expression was dull, making him look like he was keeping strangers away.
Xiaobao shuddered all over just by looking at him, and subconsciously leaned towards Ning Rongrong.
Dai Mubai obviously noticed her embarrassment, so he held Zhu Zhuqing in his arms and spoke.
"It's better to let Rongrong ask. Just stay in my arms obediently."
After saying that, she pinched Zhu Zhuqing's waist, and she moaned softly. Then she realized that someone else was there, so she had to glare at Dai Mubai with a blushing face.
Seeing that the eldest sister, who was still a little cold at first, suddenly became so gentle, her cheeks turned red and she leaned into the arms of her brother in white.
Xiaobao felt in a daze that everything that just happened was his hallucination.
Ning Rongrong waved and pulled Xiaobao to her side, with her usual gentle smile.
"What's wrong, little sister? What do you want to tell us?"
Xiaobao's fingers tangled together nervously, but the impulse in her heart still overshadowed her shyness.
Bowing deeply to Tang San and others, "I know you are all very powerful soul masters. Can you take me to the frozen forest to find my father?"
"Frozen forest?"
Naturally, Ning Rongrong didn't know where the Frozen Forest was, but Oscar knew it very well.
"The Frozen Forest is the forest where Brother Haote and I practiced, but I have never mentioned this name to you."
Nodding towards Oscar, Ning Rongrong looked at Xiaobao again and asked her softly why she wanted to go there.
But Xiaobao rushed to Oscar's side and held his hand tightly.
Even his lips were trembling, "You, you know my father?"
dad?
Oscar's mind also buzzed, no wonder he saw that this girl looked familiar.
Now that I think about it, he is somewhat similar to Brother Hot.
"Are you Brother Haote's daughter?"
Xiaobao nodded vigorously, and then knelt down to Oscar with a plop, his face covered with tears.
"Brothers and sisters, I think you are all very powerful people. Can you take me to the frozen forest to find my dad? He hasn't been home for three months. Mom and I miss him very much."
When Xiaobao's mother heard the noise outside, she rushed over immediately. Seeing her daughter crying with tears in her eyes and even kneeling on the ground, she suddenly became very angry.
In a few steps, he rushed to Tang San's table, grabbed Xiaobao's arm and pulled her up to block her behind him. They looked at Oscar and the others with very angry expressions.
"Why do you want to bully our little treasure? Don't think that just because you are a high-level soul master, you can bully others. I can't beat you, but I won't let you hurt my daughter even if I risk my life."
Xiaobao is still immersed in the complicated emotions of Oscar meeting his father and being called by his mother's name in public again, and he has not yet recovered.
And Oscar had already blurted out the words "sister-in-law".
"Sister-in-law, it's me, I'm Oscar, don't you remember me?"
"Oscar? Oh...Little Oscar? Is it you? Is it really you?"
It had been seven years since they last met, and she never thought she would see Oscar again.
"It's me, sister-in-law, I'm Oscar."
sister in law?He calls his mother sister-in-law?Then wouldn't it be inappropriate to call him brother?
He should be called uncle!
This reunion was full of surprises. Oscar had no idea that the little girl who was only a few years old before leaving and who often ran behind Brother Hot had grown so big now.
With Xiaobao leading the way, we went to a room in the restaurant today. Naturally, there were other waiters greeting us in the hall.
"Let me introduce to you, this is brother Haote's wife, sister-in-law Sheyue, and this is their daughter, I remember her name is Xiaobao, right?"
She Yue smiled and nodded, "It's called Xiaobao, Hao Xiaobao, but this girl never really likes this name. I always ask her father and I to call her that."
"Mom." Hao Xiaobao's face turned red and he huddled behind She Yue and refused to come out.
"Sister-in-law, these are my good brothers. As for her, she is my lover." Oscar introduced Tang San and others to She Yue in turn.
But the more She Yue listened, the more she felt something was wrong, "Wait a minute, your name is Tang San?"
"Yes, hello, sister-in-law." Tang San nodded towards She Yue.
"This name, this name is the same as the name of Poseidon, isn't it?"
Oscar had thought about this situation a long time ago, so he didn't think about hiding it at first.
"Yes, sister-in-law, you heard it right, it's the Tang San you thought of, and we are the Shrek Seven Devils."
Oscar said very calmly. For them, the words "Shrek Seven Devils" are a kind of honor and fame in the eyes of others, but in their hearts, they represent the deepest bond between them.
She Yuebei was shocked and speechless, watching Oscar look up and down.
She never thought that that young boy in his early 20s would now be one of the Shrek Seven Monsters!
"Stop talking about this, sister-in-law, first tell me what's going on with Brother Haote? Why did Xiaobao say he hasn't been back for three months?"
She Yue sighed and held Hao Xiaobao's hand, her face a little sad.
"Xiao Ao, you should understand what Haote is like. As long as others ask for help, he will resolutely help without any consideration for himself. More than three months ago, someone came to him to hunt soul beasts in the frozen forest, and he couldn't stand it. The request went with him, but there was no news after that.”
"Sister-in-law, don't worry yet. We are going to the frozen forest. I will definitely find Brother Haote."
She Yue's eyes were already red, but she still kindly let the others rest for the night before setting off the next day.
In the room, Oscar didn't feel sleepy at all.
Ning Rongrong didn't know where he went. He was left standing alone at the window, looking at the falling snowflakes outside, and his thoughts seemed to go back to the time of training seven years ago.
Outside the house, She Yue and Hao Xiaobao saw off the last batch of customers and were about to close the store when they turned around and saw Ning Rongrong.
"Aunt Rongrong, what's the matter?"
The corners of Ning Rongrong's mouth froze, her whole body turned to stone, and her fists clenched subconsciously.
She squatted down and grabbed Hao Xiaobao's arms without giving up, looked into her eyes and asked every word.
"What did you just call me?"
"Auntie, what's wrong? Aunt Rongrong?"
Ning Rongrong's heart seemed to have been hit hard several times, and the word "aunt" kept ringing in her ears like a magic sound filling her ears.
"Xiaobao, listen to me. I am a sister, not an aunt. Come on, be obedient and call me Sister Rongrong."
"But, but, Uncle Xiao Ao calls me daddy and eldest brother. If I call you sister, wouldn't that be a disgrace?"
It seems like there's nothing wrong with it?
However, in terms of age, there is a 33-year age difference between Hot and Oscar. When they first formed a team and practiced together, they could only be regarded as brothers. It is not easy to have an uncle and a nephew.
"Xiaobao, listen to my sister. This matter of naming needs to be viewed by different people. Let's just discuss it separately. We have nothing to do with your father and Xiao Ao."
Hao Xiaobao nodded blankly and said tentatively, "Well, Sister Rongrong, what can I do for you?"
Ning Rongrong nodded with satisfaction and felt much better.
"Xiaobao, sister would like to ask, have you ever heard of a place called the No. [-] Floor in the World since you have lived here for so long?"
