To the eternal you

As the old saying goes, going down the mountain is faster than going up, and when she almost rolled down with Zhengcheng, although the girl slowed down a bit, she still managed to get out of the guardian forest before it was completely dark.

For the rest of the journey, there is only a shortcut to go around, and I rushed to Kontian Village as soon as possible, thanks to the fact that I walked through it myself before.

The girl who was familiar with the road continued to run wildly holding Zhengcheng who was already dizzy. Maybe if some horse races were held in the future, Qi could sneak in and run by attaching the horse's ears and tails, and maybe he could win an award.

The wind at night becomes chaotic and chaotic, especially when the back faces the sea, and the sea breeze from there carries a thick moisture.

If you don’t hurry up, your clothes might get soaked, and your movements will inevitably slow down in rainy days, and your clothes will get dirty when you step on the muddy road. Now that I think about it, it seems that I am a little impulsive to come out in such a hurry.

But regret has never been something that Qi will consider. If you understand the mistakes, just correct them next time. It is too late to regret now.

What should be done now is to reduce the loss as soon as possible. Although I am a little sorry for Zhengcheng, it is not good to put it here.

In this way, the girl who ran wildly all the way finally arrived at Kontian Village just before the drizzle started to fall slowly from the sky.

The villagers in Kontian Village returned home early to rest, and the fallen leaves blown up by the strong wind were falling in all directions on the street. Not far away, hidden under the night, there were neat rows of dark green leaves of Viola melon trees, rattling.

Following the route of memory, Qi came to the village chief's house and knocked on the door.

On the other hand, the little demon raccoon hides obediently, so as not to scare others.

At this time, a thunderbolt struck, and the sound of bowls breaking and inaudible voices could be heard in the room.

"Mr. Konta—it's me, pray! Did something happen to you?"

The girl knocked on the door again, and a slightly worried voice fell with the sound of rain.

However, it seemed that he had been heard, and soon came the sound of approaching footsteps. Village Chief Konta opened the wooden door, revealing the warm light inside the house, and isolating the cold rain outside.

He was a little surprised when he saw Qi Shi, but he quickly welcomed her in.

"Master Qi, are you not drenched? The old man will serve you a bowl of hot soup... You should take a good rest first."

The old man didn't ask the girl why she came here at this time, but got up, picked up the pieces of the bowl, turned around and left quickly. There was only a small stove burning in the house, and a pottery pot on it was gurgling and boiling fish soup.

It seems that the village head was frightened by the sudden visit and the sound of thunder just now, thinking apologetically.

Soon, the village chief came back with a water-stained bowl, with a wrinkled face full of apology: "Sorry, sir. I am the only one in the family, my wife left early, and the children below have married again , everything in the house is kept simple, but please rest assured, the dishes and chopsticks have been cleaned properly."

"It's okay!" the girl said seriously, and she didn't mind taking the bowl with a few small corners broken and the slightly old chopsticks. The reason why the customer thinks the host is poor."

"Hahaha, although the old man's memory is getting worse as he gets older, he still remembers what Lord Qi said before, and he will come again in the future, so he thought that maybe you will come one day, but it's a pity that it's winter recently, and he didn't go to business. After that, it is also difficult to add furniture.”

Village head Konta just smiled gently, his narrowed eyes were as kind as Granny Tsubaki's.

"Come on, please drink some fish soup cooked by the old man first, the taste may be a little bland, please forgive me."

After all, people can't eat fishy and salty when they are old, not to mention that fish has a fishy smell, even if it is boiled in clear soup, it will taste a few times.

The village's long chopsticks picked up the best part of the fish and put it into the girl's bowl, and then poured a spoonful of delicious fish soup.

"Thank you!"

Qi took it obediently, and the old village chief waved his hand indifferently, but the smile deepened with narrowed eyes, full of affection.

"Eat more, the old man can't finish it all by himself, hahaha."

After that, the two of them ate the cooked Konta rice with fish soup, and they had a full meal.

After tea and dinner, the girl cleaned the dishes for the village chief, and took a look at the layout of the house. As expected, a water tank was used to fetch water, but the dark well in the yard under the rain curtain exuded a strange sense of existence.

Back in the main room, village chief Konta was boiling hot water and preparing to make tea.

This is what he has kept for a long time, and he is not willing to drink it. Usually, he will drink such a cup when important guests come.

"Master Qi, you're not tired. In fact, it's good to let the old man come without washing."

"Qi will feel self-blame if you do this, and it's fine for the village chief to call me Qi. You don't need to be an adult. You are an elder worthy of my respect."

The girl gently shook her head and declined, then sat opposite the village chief.

"Actually, there was a reason for this night visit, and it was related to [Baosheng Sizheng] Wu Baizang's lord's theft. I think that there may be some clues in Konta Village."

"Besides, I also brought Zhengcheng, first of all, I apologize for the previous prank in Konta Village—"

After the girl's words fell, a little demon raccoon came out from behind the area not illuminated by the fire stove, with a naive look that looked very harmless.

It obediently walked to Qi's side, landed on all fours, and bowed its head towards the village head of Yantian, beeping twice as if apologizing.

"This...is really a surprise."

Although the village chief was a little surprised, since the other party hadn't behaved much since he appeared, he was bowing his head and apologizing to him full of spirituality.

"I know that the prank caused a lot of losses to you and Konta Village at that time, so after the incident is over, I will ask the little raccoons to help the villagers do what they can, such as setting up protection for the viola trees to prevent insects and ants from biting them. The enchantment that birds peck at."

The words of Qi brightened the eyes of village chief Konta, and then he looked at the little fox again.

The other party nodded and patted his small chest.

"Then, sir, is there anything you want to ask?"

The head of Konta Village has no way to refuse this kindness. Now Konta Village is in urgent need of such help, even if it is only for a short period of spring and autumn.

"Before that, I want to ask you, do you know Lord Huzhai Palace, or...whether Lord Huzhai Palace has told you anything?"

The room was silent for a while, only the gurgling sound of the clay pot boiling hot water, and then another slapping sound. The wind swept in.

Village head Kontian looked a little depressed, got up and walked over there to close the wooden window, and then put down the wooden peg, the sound of howling rain was cut off all of a sudden.

After closing the window, though, he scratched his head again, confused.

Didn't I get involved with it before? Could it be that I am old and have lost my memory?

Shaking his head, the village chief Konta sat down again, then lifted the pot, cleaned the tea set, soaked the tea leaves in hot water to skim off the froth, poured out the first cup of tea, refilled it with hot water, and filled it up again.

The two had a drink each, and the village chief Yan Tian said: "Of course I know, and it is true that Master Hu Zhaigong asked the old man before leading the men in the village to fight the disaster."

"Is it something to do with the well...?"

Qi asked a little nervously.

"...Yes, how did you know?"

Village head Konta froze for a moment, he didn't even remove the hand holding the teacup until it was scalded.

"Although it's a bit bluffing, but pray... it's a dream."

The girl lowered her head in shame, which made the village head laugh a little bit, and he laughed a few times.

"Perhaps it's because you and Master Huzhai Palace are destined. Everything in the world is bound by a thread of fate and attracts each other."

"Forget it, since you are destined to be with her, it doesn't hurt to tell you. Master Huzhai Palace put some things in there, and then asked me to help guard them. Since there is no good place to hide things in the old man's house, I thought of it." The well in my courtyard dried up when the cherry blossoms on the island were about to die the year before last."

Speaking of this, the village head's eyes were a little sad.

"After that, Master Huzhai Palace came to me. I went down the well and it seemed that there was something stored there, but the old man never went to see it, and he didn't want to be missed by thieves, so he simply made a well and sealed the well."

"The key is still with me, but the well has been sealed for a year. It is equivalent to being abandoned. I am afraid that the filth is piled up underneath. It may not be easy for you to go down and find it. Why don't you get up tomorrow and I will call Yanzang to go down with you to see it." Let's see."

"That's fine! The items stored by Master Huzhai Palace may be the key to unraveling this incident."

Qi was relieved a lot, now that he was sure that the things were here, he could take a rest for the night and then go down to the well tomorrow.

Afterwards, I asked the elder sister of the witch. With her special nature, she might be able to find some key information from her memory that could lead to Wubaizang.

This incident can also be ended perfectly without fighting.

She clapped hands with the little demon raccoon, seeing this warm mutual appearance, the village chief Kontian also turned around and left with a smile, and went to bring some clean bedding for the girl, otherwise it would be bad to catch a cold in the cold weather.

After the village chief said goodbye, he huddled in the quilts. The quilts still smelled like they had been exposed to the sun. Presumably, they had been exposed to the sun before winter. Looking at the old ceiling, he couldn't fall asleep for a while.

The little demon fox yawned early, curled up and curled up with its tail, and fell asleep on the girl and the quilt.

Qifa was stunned, recalling what happened today, and then remembered Suzuki, that guy is a person who is easily misled by first impressions.

I thought it was a cold ice sculpture beauty, but I didn't expect it to be such a frivolous and self-willed girl, and...

She is the eldest lady of the Kamiya family, so she needs to make a statement.

That appearance may not be what she likes. Everyone is playing the role that others want to see, and they also hope that others will play the role they want to see, even the young lady who is one of the three obediences is no exception. .

So... the me that my mother wants to see is a well-behaved puppet girl Qi who will not go against her wish and will not change her mind.

But Chi doesn't want that much, I think—

Qi pulled her hand out from under the quilt, her slender hand as white as nephrite was flawless, she lightly touched her lips, and the soft feeling came from her fingertips.

No, no!Wouldn't this be as frivolous as Suzuki? !

Tweeting... Even if it's a mother and daughter, maybe it's too close.

"Woo!" The body was overloaded, and steam came out from the top of his head, Qi covered his head with the quilt, and the quilt that was drawn made the little demon fox who had been sleeping peacefully roll down, looked around blankly, and then Looking at the girl who was bulging like a small hill, she spread her hands helplessly.

Climbed to the "mountain bag" again, groaned, and fell asleep again.

It wants to go back and continue dreaming, just now it has dreamed that it has become a human, just like the white-haired human it met today, the tree thumped Master Qi.

If I continue to dream, I hope to see the follow-up development. The saliva of the little fox moistens some quilts.

On the corner of the quilt, there were two small characters written crookedly.

Step up.
