Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

Because Tang Ping had just returned from training, the team gave him three days off, so the two planned to get their marriage certificate, stay in the city for one night, and then return to the island.

The two arrived in the city at noon. They went to the post office first and sent the things that Shi Yan had prepared to the two families. However, when sending things to the original owner's mother and brother, Shi Yan directly remitted 200 yuan back. She believed that with this money, Shi's mother's life would be much easier.

"Wife, you must be hungry. Let's go eat something and then go get the certificate. After getting the certificate, I'll accompany you to do whatever you want."

Tang Ping was very excited and wanted to get the certificate immediately, but he was also concerned about his wife's health, so he just held Shi Yan's hand tightly and took his men to the state-owned hotel.

It was lunchtime when the two of them arrived at the state-owned restaurant, so there were quite a lot of people in the restaurant, and there was only one table near the door that was empty.

Tang Ping settled Shi Yan down first and went to the front to order food. Just when Shi Yan was bored, a middle-aged woman in simple dress sat down in the empty seat next to Shi Yan. After she sat down, she saw Shi Yan looking at her and a pleasing smile appeared on her face.

"My girl, are you coming to eat? Do you need me to recommend something to you? I often eat at state-owned restaurants and am quite familiar with the dishes here."

"The chef here is the one who cooked for people in the palace. His specialty is crucian carp and tofu soup. Would you like to try it? Auntie can't eat so much by herself. How about we buy one portion together to try it out?"

Shi Yan didn't believe in any malice without reason, nor did she believe in any enthusiasm without reason. So, since the middle-aged woman in front of her didn't object to sharing a table with others, why didn't she find a table closer to the counter where it would be more convenient to serve the food, but chose her?

"Aunt, my husband has gone to the front to order food. If you want to drink crucian carp and tofu soup, why don't you go to the front and ask my husband?"

"Look, that's the tallest one wearing a white shirt. He's easy to spot."

After Shi Yan finished speaking, she kept observing the middle-aged woman's expression. She saw her looking in the direction she pointed. The moment she saw Tang Ping's back, a hint of hesitation flashed across her face.

"That's your man. Look at his physique. You two are a good match. What does your man do? Look at his attire. Does he work in an office?"

Because they were going to get their marriage certificate today, Shi Yan felt from the bottom of her heart that she had to dress up for such an important occasion. She wore a floral blouse, her hair was half tied up, and she also drew her eyebrows and wiped her lips.

As for Tang Ping, Shi Yan dressed him in a white shirt and straight pants. He took off his military uniform and put on this outfit. Just looking at his back, he did look like a scholar.

"No, auntie, my husband is a soldier on an island. Today he is on vacation, so he took me out for a walk."

"Oh! I see~"

The middle-aged woman did not stand up from her seat, but Shi Yan watched her eyes move around the lobby. Shi Yan quietly released her special abilities and found that wherever the woman passed, there were people staring at their table.

Shi Yan guessed that she was being targeted, so she paid more attention to the movements of several people.

The middle-aged woman made a few gestures with the hand on the outside of her left leg, and then two men stood up and walked out of the state-owned hotel.

Shi Yan didn't know what these people were planning, so she simply continued:

"Aunt, didn't you say you wanted to drink crucian carp and tofu soup? Hurry up and go to the front. It will be too much trouble to wait for my husband to come back."

"It's okay, it's okay, wait until your man comes back, I'll go buy it myself."

The middle-aged woman just sat in her original position without moving, and continued to talk to Shi Yan calmly. However, most of the questions she asked were related to Shi Yan. She either asked how old she was, how long she had been with the army, and also asked Shi Yan's name.

Shi Yan's answer was a mixture of truth and falsehood. When the woman asked her name, she directly told her real name in the real world.

When Tang Ping came back with the food, the middle-aged woman stood up enthusiastically and wanted to help Tang Ping take the plate.

However, Tang Ping was very wary of strangers, and he did not relax even when it came to a middle-aged woman who looked very friendly.

Tang Ping turned his gaze to Shi Yan, wanting to ask who this person was, but before Shi Yan could speak, the middle-aged woman explained her purpose first.

"Young man, I'm going to buy a bowl of crucian carp and tofu soup with your wife. I like this soup, but I can't finish it if I eat one. But your wife asked me to talk to you, so I'll just wait here."

"You find someone else, we..."

Tang Ping was about to refuse when someone outside the hotel exclaimed:

"Help! Help me! There's a thief! Help me! The bag contains the life-saving money I raised for my brother. Can anyone help me?"

"What? Someone is stealing in broad daylight, and stealing life-saving money. What should we do? I think the guy who was robbed is too big to be caught up. Who can help him?"

Because of the noise outside the door, and Shi Yan's table was right next to the door, Shi Yan could see the situation on the street clearly as soon as she turned around.

There was a thin man who was kneeling on the street outside the state-owned hotel, panting and shouting that there was a thief. As he looked in the direction he was looking, he saw a figure running away into the distance.

And she heard the worried words of the middle-aged woman again. Shi Yan thought for a moment and felt that things were too coincidental.

Look at the man kneeling on the street again. He is so excited that he shouts "thief!". It is okay for him to stand up and continue chasing. So there must be an audience for this play!

"Wife, you eat first. I'll go and take a look. Before I come back, you stay here and wait for me. Don't go anywhere."

Shi Yan was just wondering who this play was for, but as soon as Tang Ping opened his mouth, she understood what was going on. It was probably a trap set to lure Tang Ping in.

Tang Ping moved very quickly. After explaining everything to Shi Yan, he ran in the direction where the figure disappeared. After Tang Ping ran out, the man who had been "robbed" outside the door stopped shouting, stood up and trotted in the direction Tang Ping left.

Seeing that there was nothing to watch outside, Shi Yan simply pretended to eat as if nothing had happened, wanting to see what the middle-aged woman was going to do next.

After seeing Tang Ping leave, the middle-aged woman stood up hastily and said in a slightly loud voice:

"Girl, I'm going to buy some crucian carp and tofu soup now. You can drink more later."

After saying this, she walked towards the counter without caring whether Shi Yan responded or not.

Although Shi Yan can only control a few supernatural powers, after a month of recuperation, she can still use her supernatural powers to detect things within a radius of 50 meters with her as the center.
