Chapter 56 Searching for the Moth Woman
Chapter 56 Searching for the Moth Woman
After the military region competition ended, at Hua Zhanhong's request, Hua Yu went to visit Long Lao, the head of the Eastern Army.
The two, one old and one young, chatted about everyday things and the performance of the Chinese national badminton team in the recent competition.
As they chatted, the topic shifted, and Elder Long began to inquire about Hua Yu's romantic relationships.
At first, Hua Yu didn't think much of it, just considering it as some concern from her elders.
But when a beautiful young woman of eighteen or nineteen appeared, Hua Yu sensed something was wrong.
Good guy.
Is Dad trying to get sponsorship for himself again?
"Um, Grandpa Long, I have to go now. I'll come see you again when I have time."
After leaving those words behind, Hua Yu fled the Long family compound as if he were escaping.
"Grandpa, who was that guy just now?" Long Keke was carrying a fruit platter when she came in and saw a silver-haired young man running away in a panic. She asked Grandpa Long, somewhat puzzled.
Long Keke was summoned by Old Master Long, who didn't tell her why she was there. He just said that a guest had arrived and asked her to bring some fruit.
Now that the fruit platter has been served and the guests have left, she can't help but feel a little strange.
"Oh, his name is Hua Yu. Come, Coco, sit down. Grandpa will tell you something. This Hua Yu, he's not only incredibly handsome, almost as good-looking as your grandpa was back in his day, but also..."
For the next half hour, Old Master Long kept praising Hua Yu to his granddaughter.
Even the slow-witted Long Keke understood what was going on.
A glint of light flashed in her eyes, but she quickly returned to her obedient demeanor, giving her grandfather a sweet smile.
"Okay, I'll go find him to hang out next time!"
-
There are six ancient towns in the Jiangnan water region.
One of them is Wuzhen, a historical and cultural town known as the "land of fish and rice, and the capital of silk".
Seven days later.
Hua Yu appeared in this ancient town in Jiangnan.
"Hey, I'm here. Where are you?"
"West"
"Okay, I can hear your voice."
After saying that, Hua Yu hung up the phone and headed in the direction of the sound.
Inside a milk tea shop in the Xizha Scenic Area, a little girl pouted angrily as she looked at the phone that had been hung up on.
Even a proud and talented young woman would feel frustrated to have her phone hung up on after saying just one word.
The little girl was wearing a black plum blossom cheongsam and had her hair in pigtails; she was incredibly cute.
She sat on a high stool in the milk tea shop, her two cute little feet barely touching the ground, only swinging back and forth in the air.
Those dark eyes would occasionally glance out the window, observing every passerby.
Suddenly, a young man with long silver hair came into her line of sight. She couldn't help but beam with joy, quickly stuffed the computer on the table into her backpack, grabbed two cups of milk tea, and ran out.
Hua Yu spotted Lingling running towards him at a glance and couldn't help but smile slightly.
The little girl's two long ponytails swung back and forth behind her head, making it hard for anyone not to notice her.
"Here you go." Lingling handed one of the milk tea cups to Huayu.
"What does it taste like?"
"Bubble tea." Lingling rolled her eyes in annoyance.
You've been drinking this all along, are you pretending not to know?
Hua Yu took the milk tea, inserted the straw, and said, "Only kids like bubble tea. Next time, give me coffee instead."
As he spoke, he took a couple of satisfying sips.
Lingling took a deep breath, repeatedly telling herself not to act impulsively.
"Oh, by the way, remember not to add milk when you buy it," Hua Yu added.
"Go to hell!"
Seeing that Hua Yu had actually summoned her, Lingling immediately transformed into a fierce little tiger and lunged at Hua Yu.
Hua Yu casually reached out and placed his hand on Lingling's head.
In an instant, no matter how much Lingling struggled, her short arms and legs couldn't even touch Hua Yu.
A few minutes later.
"Alright, alright, stop fooling around. Tell me about the clues for this mission."
Hua Yu didn't come to Wuzhen for fun this time; Lingling had called him here to do hard labor.
The reason is quite simple.
After not taking on any missions for a while, this girl got bored again.
After skipping class, she started researching the strange things that had recently happened in some places around Shanghai, to see if there were any missions she could take on.
Mo Fan is still living like a wild man in Dongting Lake. Lingling can't contact him, so she can only ask Hua Yu to help her with tasks.
It just so happens that the Huayu Military Region Grand Competition is being held in Jinling, and after it ends, he will be returning to Shanghai.
Thinking that Lingling was both cute and useful, Hua Yu, who had nothing else to do, agreed to take Lingling out on a mission.
Lingling found three tasks in total.
The three locations are Pudong New Area, Yishan, and Wuzhen, where the two are currently located.
In terms of distance, Pudong New Area is clearly more suitable.
But when Hua Yu saw the mission in Wuzhen, he immediately had Lingling take on the mission without saying a word.
Lingling felt a little strange, but she didn't ask anything. For her, as long as there was a task to do, that was enough.
When it came to serious matters, Lingling turned into a mature and sophisticated woman, leading Huayu to a pavilion and then taking out her small computer.
"Look at these first."
Lingling placed the computer on her smooth thigh and kept clicking on something with her little hands.
Images appeared on the computer screen one by one, and Hua Yu quickly scanned them.
Those pictures are from Little Green Book, some tourists' travel sharing, and the photos are taken in various shops in Wuzhen.
Strangely, in every photo, you can see tiny white moths, about the size of mosquitoes, on the ground of those shops.
It's unclear when exactly, but the number of small moths in this ancient town suddenly increased, seriously affecting the visitor experience.
In addition, during this period, a man saw a woman with large moth wings while walking at night.
This incident immediately attracted attention, and the comments on Xiaolvshu (a Chinese social networking site) exploded, with tourists who had been there complaining that this place was like a moth town, not a place for humans.
Suddenly, the tourism industry here was affected, and the economy began to decline.
The officials in charge could only ask some hunters to come and investigate the matter.
When Hua Yu saw this mission, he remembered what his father, Hua Zhanhong, had mentioned about the totem. And wasn't there someone here who knew the totem's whereabouts?
Where should we go first?
Wuzhen is so big that it's impossible for Hua Yu's music department to find the so-called Moth Girl immediately. In the early stages, he will still need the help of the little genius Lingling.
As long as Lingling can define a general area, Hua Yu is confident that he can find that woman.
Before Hua Yu arrived, Lingling had clearly already thought everything through. She closed her laptop and stood up.
"Let's go find the shop assistant who said he saw the Moth Woman first."
