Chapter 13: Guo Xiang discusses Jin Yong

  Listening to the noise in the bathroom, Tang Xiaosheng standing at the door couldn't help but think of a thousand things. Heaven suddenly arranged for this little girl to be by his side, whether it was good fortune or bad luck, what was waiting for him?

  In the past, Tang Xiaosheng had always thought that Mr. Jin Yong's "The Return of the Condor Hero" was just a fictional martial arts novel, and the world and characters in the book did not really exist.

  It's just that now Guo Xiang and Little Dragon Girl have both transmigrated into the city, which means that the characters in "The Return of the Condor Hero" are not fictional, they may exist in another real world.

  Even with this interpretation, there was still a problem that left him perplexed.

  If the characters in "The Return of the Condor Hero" were real, how did Mr. Jin Yong know about events that occurred in another world and write them down?

  Is Mr. Jin Yong also a traverser from another world? What he wrote is not martial arts, but the true history of another martial arts world?

  "Big brother, what are you thinking about?"

  Just then, a tender voice interrupted. After regaining his composure, Tang Xiaosheng only discovered that Guo Xiang had already stood at the bathroom door, wiping her wet black hair with his blue towel.

  At this time, she was wearing a pink blouse on top and white casual pants on the bottom. Her small feet were clad in Tang Xiaosheng's 42-code black slippers. Such attire looked a bit comical, but it couldn't hide her beauty. The little girl still looked as delicate and elegant as ever, charming and moving.

  "Already done washing so quickly?" Tang Xiaosheng asked with feigned surprise.

  "Hmm, I'm afraid there might be mice, and they'll just run out if we rush in. Big brother, I'm hungry." Guo Xiang said in a delicate voice.

  Tang Xiaosheng took a look at the time and it was already 9 o'clock at night. There were no restaurants nearby, so he said: "You dry your hair first, we'll take a taxi to eat later."

  "Big brother, don't you have instant noodles in your room? Just eat the instant noodles." Guo Xiang pointed to a pile of instant noodles on the table.

  "Are you used to eating instant noodles?"

  "Uh-huh!" Guo Xiang nodded repeatedly like a little chick pecking at grain.

  "What flavor would you like? Braised chicken with mushrooms noodles, fresh shrimp and fish slice noodles, scallion pork ribs noodles, or braised beef noodles?"

  "Beef noodles in red sauce, I like to eat spicy food." Guo Xiang thought for a moment and replied, then picked up the clothes she had just changed out of and said, "Big brother, can you help me cook some instant noodles? I'm going to go wash my clothes first."

  After finishing speaking, two small hands hugged the clothes and walked towards the balcony with small steps.

  Looking at Guo Xiang washing clothes in the sink on the balcony, Tang Xiaosheng couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder: Is she really Guo Xiang from "The Return of the Condor Hero"? Why does he have the illusion that she is just an ordinary little girl next door?

  After careful consideration, he realized that perhaps it was time for a change.

  Guo Xiang's soul has been here for almost a year, and she not only obtained part of Guo Yixiang's modern memories but also gradually integrated into this world. If she didn't say it herself, no one would have noticed that she was a transmigrator.

  After being stunned for a while, Tang Xiaosheng boiled a pot of water and then cooked a bowl of steaming hot braised beef noodles.

  "Is it too shabby to entertain Guo Xiang with instant noodles?" Just as he was thinking this, a sharp cry suddenly came from the balcony.

  Bang! Bang!

  Immediately followed by another chaotic sound.

  "What's wrong again?" Without thinking much, he rushed out to the balcony at full speed. When he arrived at the balcony, he saw Guo Xiang standing quietly by the railing, staring intently at something on the ground. He walked up and asked, "Xiang'er, what's going on?"

  Guo Xiang tightly pursed her small mouth and pointed with her little hand at the ground.

  Tang Xiaosheng glanced down at the ground and only then did he notice that there was a cockroach on the floor of the balcony. To be precise, it was a flattened cockroach.

  Guo Xiangqiong wrinkled her nose and explained in a childish tone: "Just now, I was drying clothes on the balcony when I found two cockroaches. As a result, I accidentally stepped on one of them." When she said this, her fine eyebrows moved slightly, and she said with some self-reproach, "I didn't do it on purpose."

  Seeing her like this, it seemed as if she was mourning the death of the cockroach, which was a bit too sympathetic. Tang Xiaosheng comforted her with a stiff upper lip: "Xiang'er, the cockroach is dead and gone, you didn't intentionally step on it, don't take it to heart."

  Guo Xiang paused for a moment and asked: "Big brother, do you think the other escaped cockroach will be very sad?"

  Tang Xiaosheng was taken aback and didn't understand what she meant.

  Guo Xiang added: "These two cockroaches came to the balcony together, they are probably a couple. Now that I've stepped on one of them, the other one has lost its partner and will be lonely for the rest of its life. If I had known this would happen, I would have stepped on both of them at the same time."

  Tang Xiaosheng: "......"

  It's just two cockroaches, yet they can create so many complicated things. To prevent her from getting deeper into the situation, Tang Xiaosheng quickly changed the subject: "Xiang'er, don't worry, good cockroaches will find true love too. The instant noodles are ready, hurry up and go inside to eat while it's hot."

  "Hmm." She hung up the last piece of clothing in her hand and walked into the house, "Big brother, why are there so many mice and cockroaches here?"

  "Maybe it's because big brother has good relationships."

  "It's not human connection, but mouse and cockroach connection, haha. If only the swallow could also travel here, I miss it so much."

  XXX

  Guo Xiang was probably too hungry, a bowl of ordinary braised beef instant noodles was eaten with relish, and from time to time her small mouth would make a satisfied smacking sound.

  "Xiang'er, eat slowly, don't choke."

  "Wow, big brother's instant noodles are really delicious."

  Tang Xiaosheng smiled slightly, his face seeming relaxed, but actually full of worries. After a moment of silence, he finally couldn't help but ask: "Xiang'er, do you know Jin Yong?"

  Guo Xiang heard this, swallowed a mouthful of bubble tea, nodded and said in a childish voice: "It's that old grandpa who writes martial arts novels! Actually, I've always wanted to meet Grandpa Jin Yong, he seems so mysterious, and he actually knows about our original timeline. I guess Grandpa Jin Yong is also from our original timeline, and maybe he's just like my grandfather, a top-notch master! Big brother, what do you think?"

  "Maybe!" Tang Xiaosheng also started having such doubts in the past two days.

  Then, Guo Xiang said: "It would be great if we could meet Master Jin Yong, maybe he knows why we crossed over to this place. Unfortunately, I heard that Master Jin Yong has gone to the University of Cambridge in England, it's so far away, and it's hard to even see him."

  After finishing speaking, he lowered his head, opened his small mouth and continued eating instant noodles.

  Actually, Jin Yong's martial arts novels are just a history book to Guo Xiang, and she thinks this history book is not completely objective, some content should be Jin Yong's subjective conjecture. Therefore, Guo Xiang does not completely believe in the plots of Jin Yong's works.

  For example, in Jin Yong's "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", Guo Xiang eventually founded the Emei Sect and became the founder of Emei. As for this matter, after reading it, Guo Xiang did not believe it at all, because he thought that he was not so powerful!

  So, for what Jin Yong wrote, she was only half-believing and thought that part of the book was indeed the history of their world, but some parts might just be Jin Yong's personal subjective editing, not entirely credible.

  Similar situations, not only Guo Xiang has, but also Little Dragon Girl is the same. For travelers, they will not easily believe that they are actually from a book world, nor will they easily believe in the content of a book, and instead, they will believe that the author may be a historian or a housekeeper from that world.

  After Guo Xiang and Xiaolongnv traveled through time, due to the low degree of fusion between the two souls, their memories were still incomplete, with many memories not recovered, and many details could not be judged at once.

  After listening to Guo Xiang's words, Tang Xiaosheng also smiled faintly, thinking that this little girl had thought a lot. After a pause, he said: "Xiang'er, big brother has something to tell you, it's about your current father Guo Yang."

  Guo Xiang had been locked up in a mental hospital for almost a year and knew little about Guo Yang's situation, so Tang Xiaosheng decided to tell her about Guo Yang's debt.

  According to the intelligence provided by Detective Lin Shi, if the creditor cannot find Guo Yang, they may take action against Guo Xiang (Guo Yixiang), such as kidnapping, in order to force Guo Yang to appear. The authenticity of this intelligence is currently unknown, but it's better to be safe than sorry, and it's better to believe it exists rather than not believing it at all.

  "Xiang Er, in short, you should be more careful from now on. If a stranger comes looking for you, raise your vigilance." Tang Xiaosheng reminded her.

  Guo Xiang nodded: "Don't worry, I can take care of myself. Big brother, where is my dad (Guo Yang) now?"

  Tang Xiaosheng said: "I'm not clear either, the police are also looking for him now, but there shouldn't be anything wrong..."

  Beep! Beep! Beep!

  Just then, a message suddenly arrived on his mobile phone, which was sent by Little Dragon Girl.

  This afternoon, Tang Xiaosheng sent her a text message to inform her that he was discharged from the hospital. After learning about it, Little Dragon Girl decided to come over and take a look tonight. Although Tang Xiaosheng had already told her the address here, due to the remote suburban address being difficult to find, she didn't know how to walk after getting off the bus, so she sent a message.

  "Xiang'er, your sister Long has arrived, I'll go out to pick her up and be back soon."

  "Uh-huh."

  The temperature was a bit low at midnight, so Tang Xiaosheng put on an extra coat and hastily left his residence.

  After walking for seven or eight minutes, he arrived at the agreed location with Little Dragon Girl. However, after looking around in all directions, he still didn't see Little Dragon Girl's figure.

  Just as he was about to dial Xiaolongnv's number again, he suddenly heard a woman's voice: "Guo'er, I'm here."

  The sound seemed to come from above, so he raised his head and looked around, only to find that Little Dragon Girl was standing beside him on a tree over ten meters high. It turned out that she had used her lightness skill to fly onto the big tree in order to get a better view of the surrounding terrain.

  When Tang Xiaosheng arrived, the little dragon girl jumped down from a tree several meters high and landed steadily on the ground, still holding a white suitcase in her hand.

  Tang Xiaosheng hastily stepped forward and saw her suitcase, curiously asking, "Long'er, this trunk..."

  It seems like Little Dragon Maiden knew what he was going to ask and directly replied: "Since Ou Ye has been discharged from the hospital, I will naturally move over here to live together."

  Tang Xiaosheng hesitated for a moment, then said: "It's windy here, let's go back first!" After finishing speaking, he took over the small dragon girl's suitcase and rushed back to their residence with her.
