[Red Mansion] The First Immortal of the Three Realms

It was a dilapidated pear wood table with mottled marks all around.

The legs of the table have been cracked in several places through the invasion of the years, and have been repaired several times since then, making them look riddled with holes.

When Nezha raised his head, he could see the bottom of the table.

The tabletop must have been split open with a long knife, leaving a long trace on the tabletop, which was cut into two and repaired deliberately.

Under the table, it is supported by a wooden plank.Perhaps for the sake of beauty, the tabletop was covered with a layer of tablecloth. The tablecloth was already so dirty that no pattern could be seen, but the length fell to the ground just right, turning it into a shelter.

Xiao Qi's body was trembling constantly, but his hands kept covering Nezha's mouth, signaling him not to speak.

Only then did Daiyu realize that even when Xiao Qi hid, she would still subconsciously bring the wooden barrel with her.

In that bucket was the miracle that Xiao Qi kept repeating.

In the eyes of Daiyu and Nezha, that thing was just a bucket of stinking blood.But for some reason, in this place, it has become Xiao Qi's most trusted thing.

Granny Yin was still outside the window, calling Xiao Qi's name one after another, her voice was hoarse, she raised it first, then dropped it heavily.

The sound of the wind subsided slightly, but other subtle sounds became clearer.The sound of footsteps approaching little by little rang again.

Following the sound of heavy footsteps falling, the next moment, there was the sound of the soles of the shoes dragging across the ground, followed by a crisp knocking sound.

Daiyu guessed that Granny Yin might have bad legs and feet, one leg was strenuously walking while the other leg rubbed against the ground.

Judging by the sound, it should be an old man with a cane, groping in this direction bit by bit.

The sound became clearer, Nezha calculated the distance traveled by the sound, and could make a fuzzy judgment.Then Grandma Yin presumably should be outside the window.

Xiao Qi's body kept shaking with the sound, like sifting chaff, and even the tablecloth shook slightly.

There seemed to be a crack in the wooden barrel, following Xiao Qi's movements, water flowed out from the gap little by little.

Seeing that it was about to overflow the tablecloth, Xiaoqi panicked immediately, pulled the corner of her skirt and wiped it on the ground, trying to hide the traces of blood.

"what are you going to do?"

Following Xiaoqi's weird movements, Nezha also deliberately lowered his voice.

Xiao Qi eagerly covered his mouth, and stopped wiping the blood, his eyes lost focus, and stared blankly ahead.

But Daiyu knew that Xiaoqi might be looking at Granny Yin outside the door through the tablecloth and the broken wooden door.

Granny Yin outside the door was knocking on the wooden door with her knuckles, and there was only a sound from the wooden door, but her movements stopped suddenly.

There were incomprehensible emotions hidden in those cloudy eyes. She didn't make the next move, but tapped twice with the bamboo pole in her hand, and then slowly curled the corners of her lips.On that face full of grooves, such a smile is really terrifying.

Nezha, who has supernatural power, also saw it.

That smile was too treacherous, as if he had fallen from a sunny day to a cold hell in an instant.

There must be something wrong with this Granny Yin!

Daiyu immediately made a judgment.

But now she is just a bystander and has no right to interfere with any part of it.We can only watch with a cold eye what choice Nezha will make.

Nezha remained calm, as if he hadn't seen anything.Let Xiaoqi cover his mouth.The two remained silent until the sound of knocking slowly disappeared.

Even the surrounding wind stopped.

After an unknown amount of time, the two people hiding under the table breathed a sigh of relief.

Before Xiao Qi could react, Nezha suddenly pushed aside the tablecloth and walked out.

It was already dark outside, and the candles in front of the idol had been blown out.The wooden door was a little scattered by the wind just now, and a few wooden boards fell off.

He just hid in for a while, but the whole room seemed to have been transformed again, as if he had experienced a fight here.Only the statue remained, remaining where it was.As if everything had nothing to do with him.

Xiao Qi hurriedly followed Nezha out, and the wooden barrel followed her out again.The panic on her face had dissipated, but one hand was subconsciously tugging at the corner of Nezha's clothes.After the movement just now, Nezha has become a trustworthy person at this time.

"Grandma Yin just now was a little weird."

Nezha didn't ask Xiaoqi about all kinds of things here, nor did she ask her why Grandma Yin came to look for her suddenly, and why she turned around and left when she reached the door.

Although he was curious in his heart, he deliberately hid the past and just said this sentence calmly.

Daiyu felt something was wrong, she could feel that Nezha had recovered his mana at this time, but she didn't know why he deliberately pretended to be vulnerable here.

Xiao Qi hesitated for a moment, turned around to look at the statue, and whispered to Nezha.

"Grandma Yin is the longest-lived person in the village, and everyone listens to her. I didn't know what happened when I was a child, and I came here by myself. The people in the village regarded me as an unknown person, chased me, humiliated me, and hated me. Me. Only when Grandma Yin took me in, took care of me, and raised me, could I live to this age."

While talking about this period, Xiao Qi had a faint smile on his face, and his thoughts drifted back to a long time ago.

At that time, she was a little smaller, and for some reason, she stumbled into this remote place.

The village does not seem to be alive, and there are not even many young people.The arrival of Xiaoqi caused a lot of discussion at the time.

This village has been closed for a long time, and everyone in it knows the basics, and even the stories of generations of ancestors can be told in detail.

And she was just an outsider who came suddenly, she was not accepted, she was not favored, and she was once regarded as a different kind.

What she faces most often here is beatings, endless beatings.Just when she was covered in bruises, Grandma Yin appeared and took her in.The little girl who was full of scars met the first person in her life who was kind to her at that time.

Granny Yin has a special meaning to Lujia Village. She was not originally a villager in Lujia Village, she was married earlier.In the whole village, Granny Yin is the only person with a foreign surname, and she is the only one who has lived the longest.

According to legend, no one in this Lujia village can live past 50 years old. I don't know if it is because of the soil and water here, even people in their teens and 20s are born with old looks.

But Granny Yin is the only one who has undergone natural growth and changes. According to the normal growth law, she has gradually changed from a young girl to an old man.

Since then, Granny Yin's status among the villagers has been getting higher and higher, and finally she has a certain right to speak.

Nezha discovered a little loophole, and slowly turned his head to observe Xiaoqi's expression carefully.

"If according to what you said, Granny Yin is the most respected person here and treats you very well, then why were you so afraid of her just now?"

Xiao Qi's body trembled unconsciously, although it was subtle, but it was caught by Nezha who was good at timing.

Xiao Qi took a step back and whispered: "I'm not afraid of her, it's just Grandma Yin...she's different from others."

Nezha subconsciously asked, "What's the difference?"

Xiao Qi didn't answer, but turned around silently to look at the statue, and he let out a long sigh after a long time.

There was too much sorrow hidden in that sigh, and it didn't seem like it could be realized at such a young age.

Nezha stood behind Xiao Qi without saying a word.But for some reason, he always felt that he could see more things through Xiao Qi.

After a long time, Nezha could only sigh, "What about the miracle? What exactly is the miracle?"

Xiaoqi's reaction seemed to be deliberately avoiding the topic, to prevent Nezha from continuing to ask.

But Nezha did not follow her wishes, and was naturally curious, staring at her closely, not giving her the slightest chance to avoid it.

Xiaoqi's back straightened.

Just this night, her body has become stiff countless times, each time with different emotions.

Sometimes it is fear, sometimes it is helplessness, and sometimes it is deliberately avoiding.

Although Nezha is good at seizing opportunities, he is still not careful enough to see through the changes in Xiaoqi's expression.

But Daiyu could see clearly through Nezha.Based on Xiaoqi's dodging words, Daiyu has made a judgment in her heart.

It's just that this judgment is too absurd, even she who is in the position of a god can't believe it.Even, for a moment, Daiyu wanted to break away from Nezha's consciousness and end this period of empathy ahead of schedule.

There was a voice in her subconscious telling her that if she continued to go down, the truth she found next time might not be what she wanted to know.

Xiao Qi's body trembled violently, Nezha could feel her resistance.

In the past at Li's house, he had seen it many times from his father and mother.Mother always reacted like this when they argued.

At that time, the elder brother told him that the mother was angry.

But now, Xiao Qi in front of him also reacted like this. He didn't know whether he should bow his head and admit his mistake like his father, or keep his own state and continue to search for the truth.

It is no accident that he landed here.

He was hit down by Daoist Taiyi's palm, but happened to fall at the entrance of the village.

Daoist Taiyi has a weird temper, and if he gets excited, he likes to "do wild things", but no one can stop him.

Nezha didn't know what Taiyi Daoist did in it. After landing, he became dizzy, and even his mana disappeared, and he became like this.

He thought it was his master's test, but now that he entered this inexplicable place, met these inexplicable people, and had a few inexplicable conversations with them, he found that it was not what he thought at the beginning.

Although he is not slick, but now that the arrow is on the string, he can still have an epiphany.

Thinking of it this way, he dropped his original disguise and planned to do something here.

but……

Raising his eyes to look at Xiao Qi's expression in front of him again, the spirit he had raised just now regained half of it.

His father and brother told him a long time ago that a man like them must learn to be polite, and naturally he should not be angry with the fairy.

Although the Xiaoqi in front of him is not a fairy, in his eyes, he is cuter than any fairy.It was just a quick glance, and he wanted to protect her.

So no matter how many questions she wanted to ask her, she was blocked by her pitiful expression, and finally there was only silence left.

Also... really troublesome.
