Speaking of this, she just reacted, and covered her mouth cutely: "Do you think I talk too much? I've been saying it all the time."

"Of course not! In fact, I'm quite afraid of loneliness, but I'm not very good at chatting, so when someone talks in my ear, I feel lively..."

Xia Tian is sincere and never false: "If you talk more, Daddy won't be lonely. Just like now, when you talk in my ear, I don't feel lonely anymore."

The average girl will blush when she hears these words, right? It seems to have a taste of confession.

But Xiaogong didn't misunderstand at all, she nodded with satisfaction: "That's good, I've been rushing to work and making fireworks the other day, and I don't have time to chat with others, I'm suffocating to death!"

It is conceivable in the summer that the lock-down order and the eye-hunting order have just been lifted. There must be many people celebrating, and fireworks are the best props to celebrate.

"Sure enough, this time will be very busy, right? In fact, you don't need to take so many business, aren't there other fireworks shops?"

"Yes, but many have been closed due to the country's lockdown, and only our family has materials..."

Yamiya, Naganohara Fireworks Store to be precise, will never refuse other people's requests to make fireworks: "People who can set off fireworks are all to commemorate a certain event. If this commemoration is missed, there may be no chance... So even if No matter how busy you are, you must agree to everything!"

Such a good girl is lovable, and Xia Xia asked stupidly, "Isn't it hard?"

Xiaogong shook his head: "Although it's hard work, I don't hate it at all... In other words, it should be very enjoyable, right?"

"enjoy?"

"Um."

Nodding again: "Born in a family of fireworks, I seem to have been infatuated with this feeling of "bang" exploding light since I was a child..."

Child-like adjectives, with a "hehe" smile in the summer.

"…"

After talking a lot, at the end, it was Xiaogong's third apology: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I said a little too much, but just like fireworks, topics of interest are also fleeting things, must be in the Say goodbye when you are interested, and leave no regrets!"

"Then say it happily and leave no regrets."

"Then you don't think I'm annoying, so I'll ask! I'm a person who likes to ask other people's questions!"

"Just ask."

Outside the window, it was already dark, and along the way, almost all Xiaogong was telling her story. This time, she also wanted to understand the world that Xia Xia walked through.

"You came from Liyue, right? It was said from Liyue that it was the person who helped protect Liyue from the resuscitation demon, is that you?"

Although I am already convinced, I still ask it again, just in case, if I make a mistake, it will be embarrassing.

Xia Xia modestly said: "It's not that exaggerated, there are also many other people's efforts... To be precise, it's the efforts of the people of Quanliyue!"

"The first news I knew was that their **** suddenly left, and I thought it would become more chaotic than the rice wife, but I didn't expect so many people to stand up after the god's absence... Liyue, it's amazing country."

Xiaogong said with emotion: "I can't imagine the rice wife who is not the general."

"Well, if you really want to imagine, you can imagine Mond. Mond's gods haven't appeared for a long time, but Mond is still beautiful..."

I'm afraid that in the future, Mond's gods will continue to hide, but... when needed, there will be an existence called heroes to replace them!

"Yes, yes, I heard that there are almost no rules, right? Everyone can live happily according to their own ideas..."

Xiaogong looked imaginative, and Xia Xia hurriedly stopped: "It can't be said that there are no rules! It can only be said that there are fewer restrictions."

If there are no rules, a circle cannot be formed. If there are no rules, it will be a mess!

"Hehe." Xiao Gongtian smirked, and felt that he wanted to be simple, and thought of it again and said, "My father, I received a gift from an old customer before, what winery is it..."

Xia Xia immediately gave the answer: ""Chenxi Winery", dandelion wine is very famous. "

"That's right, that's it! I rarely see my dad drinking so happily. He told me how good the wine tasted all night... I wouldn't give it a sip if I wanted to, but I'm stingy!"

"That's because Xiaogong hasn't grown up yet!"

"There's still a little more than a year before the age of drinking..." Although Xiao Gong likes to play with children, but when she was considered a child, she was very resistant, she defended very seriously: "But I have grown up! At my age, some of the older generation are already married and have children!"

The age threshold for Wife Inami to be allowed to drink is higher than that of Mond. Mond is eighteen years old, while Wife Inami is twenty years old.

But the age of marriage is the exact opposite.

It may be because some of the old nobles perverted the maiden. The marriage age stipulated by New Mond requires you to be at least 18 years old. After all, after getting engaged, you can get 14 years old, but the actual marriage age is mostly 20 years old. .

In Dao's wife, Sixteen was allowed to marry.

Of course, this is a very early rule, and it has never been revised. Now, very few people marry at the age of sixteen.

"…"

"…"

The two chatted a lot, mainly Xiaogong talked a lot, told stories about her childhood, told her stories about "summer", and even said the word "summer" in her dreams. I don't know what it means. Season, or refers to the people around.

Xia Xia looked at Xiao Gong, who was leaning on her shoulder. She really didn't have much defense, and she didn't know how much the men would take advantage of from this angle.

He smiled lightly, his eyes were clear and bright, and there was no unreasonable thought.

Leaning back in the carriage in summer, Xiaogong can better rest on his chest and stretch his torso better.

Sleep for a while, and you will be in the guard forest in the middle of the night.

The big raccoon demon, to be honest, I'm looking forward to finding it, I don't know what it will look like...

Chapter 728 The Great Raccoon Demon Appears!

During the day, because of the shade of greenery, the guarding forest is like night, only the dots of light intertwined with dense treetops can be seen, which are as sparse and bright as the stars.

Stepping into the night, the sheltered greenery is replaced by a luminous lamp grass, which is densely covered with flowers and trees, making the guarding forest seem like daytime, like a dream.

This is a magical forest with magical flowers and plants, scattered with crimson torii gates, and breeds magical stories. Then, it is not a strange thing to have a magical "big raccoon demon", right?

The carriage stopped by the side of the road. Xia Xia and Xiao Gong walked uphill for a while before they saw the intersection into the forest.

It was already in the second half of the night, and the blue-white glow of the lantern grass gathered at the entrance, like some kind of entrance to a different dimension, which made people imagine.

"Hey!"

Before he could take a step, he heard a voice behind him. It was Ara Taki Ichidou. He was running out of breath, his trouser legs were stained with soil, and sweat dripped along the lines of his muscles.

Coming to Xia Xia He Xiao Palace, his hands supported his knees, his face was full of puzzlement, he was gasping for breath and surprised: "How can you be so fast? I didn't rest for a moment, I just drank two sips of water... What are you doing? faster than me?"

If only Xia Xia is so fast, he can still understand what unique secret skills may be there, after all, he does not know the depth of strength.

But Xiaogong shouldn't!

There have been several adventures in the past, and each time it was Ara Taki Ichito who ran ahead.

Xiaogong probably also remembered those memories of his embarrassed chasing. This time the situation turned around, and it was inevitable that he was a little proud of revenge, but he did not hide it. He said the truth: "Because we are in the car!"

"…"

After a moment of indulgence, Ara Taki took a selfie on his forehead: "Damn it! Forgot this trick!"

He regretted it very much, but it was of no use. He was poor and worthless. He still owed a lot of debt, and he had no money to ride a car. What's it like!"

"Yes yes yes." Xiaogong Sui did not like to argue with others, but he would fight back a little bit: "But I'm not a man? I'm a girl too!"

Although because of her carefree personality, not many people treat Xiaogong as a girl... To be precise, it is not treated as a delicate girl. In fact, there are quite a lot of boys who secretly admire, and some elders have also done a few times with their fathers. The secondary media, but they were all perfunctory by the father pretending not to hear.

Ara Taki pointed at Summer: "I'm not talking about you! I'm talking about him! Is he always a man?"

Because of the appearance of summer, Kujo Saura refused his invitation to a duel.

Because of the appearance of summer, I missed the best time to eat and lost to the fox.

Because of the appearance of summer, Xiaogong is no longer close to himself...

In fact, even if Xia Xia appeared, Kujo Shura would not agree to a duel, nor would he be able to win the fox, and Xiao Gong was not close to him at all... But people who live in their own world probably can't figure this out. In short, a thousand words Ten thousand words combined into one sentence, it's all summer's fault!

Although I don't talk about the step of resentment, there is definitely some unpleasantness, and it is inevitable that there will be some targeting.

Xiaogong was busy talking to the maintenance staff, even at the expense of making up memories that didn't exist: "I asked Xia Xia to ride with me in the car. It's dangerous for a girl to ride alone!"

She wasn't the kind of girl who would find it dangerous to ride alone in a car.

Ara Taki didn't answer, snorted coldly, and said, "Although you are here first, I will definitely be able to find the "big raccoon demon" first, just wait and see! "

Immediately, without wasting time, he rushed into the guarding forest first.

Xia Xia and Xiao Gong followed behind, and were not anxious about the outcome at all. They walked slowly and leisurely, as if they were coming for a tryst.

Xiaogong doesn't hate walking quietly on the forest path with Xia Xia, but he just doesn't understand: "Aren't you looking for the 'big raccoon demon'? Or do you think it doesn't exist at all? "

Xia Xia said calmly: "To be honest, I really don't think it's very likely that the 'big raccoon demon' exists. "

Saying this, Xiaogong didn't understand even more: "Then why are you here?"

"Help you find ore! Aren't you looking for a batch of purple-white saltpeter for beautiful fireworks? A lot of it will be heavy, right? Don't you need help?"

Summer's reasons are hard to refute, in a sense, it's hard to resist this kindness, and even a little happy

"Well, I'm glad you're willing to help me..."

The tree-lined path where only the two of them were, cools down the fiery momentum of Xiaogong, more like a restrained little girl, closely following behind the boy she likes.

No, this state doesn't look like me at all!

Xiaogong shook his head quickly, throwing away the distracting thoughts that were about to go berserk: "No, I'm asking why you agreed to test him! Since you think the big raccoon demon doesn't exist, what are you trying to do?"

Xia Xia sighed helplessly: "Because it's very troublesome, if you don't agree, you will definitely be stuck on it all the time. At first glance, that kind of person is the type who doesn't look back if he doesn't hit the south wall!"

There is another reason I didn't say, if I don't agree, then Kujo Sara will have to go to Arataki for a sumo duel, that kind of picture, even I don't want to imagine.

"But if the "big raccoon demon" doesn't exist, or if you can't tell the winner, Arataki Ichito will definitely continue to haunt you! He's just that kid character. "

Xia Gong's statement, Xia Xia certainly thought about it, so he came to the guarding forest and was prepared.

"follow me!"

About to walk uphill, Xia Xia subconsciously prepared to pull the hand of Xiaogong, and quickly realized that it was not his girlfriend who was beside him, and hurriedly closed his hand and made a gesture to speed up his pace.

Not understanding what Xia Xia was thinking about, Xiao Gong put aside the search for ore and followed closely behind him.

Go up the stairs scattered with the torii gates and go all the way to the depths of the forest, where the monster stone statue that looks like a reclining Buddha stands motionless.

Snapped.

Xiaogong folded his hands together, bowed first, and then said in surprise, "You know this place too? Have you been here before?"

"Have you been here too?" Xia Xia was the accident. There was some kind of enchantment spell set up by Wubaizang around this Buddha statue, and ordinary people couldn't get in at all.

"Well, that was my first time looking for saltpeter, and I got lost...hehe." Xiaogong rubbed his head stupidly: "I came here by mistake, looking at this monster Buddha statue is quite cute, so every time I come here All... a feeling of prayer?"

"Cute? I am the majestic Wubaizang, the "Hidden God Baosheng Sizheng" proclaimed by the general! You say cute? "

Suddenly, as if the words were exploding in the ear, it was a voice that directly penetrated the heart, and it was indeed a bit majestic.

Although the Xiao Palace has been here several times, I have never heard such a sound, and I only think that there is a relatively old stone statue in front of me...

Inexplicably nervous: "Who is talking?"

Xia Tian patted her on the shoulder to make her relax: "It's the guy you think is cute!"

"Hey!!" Xiaogong looked at the huge stone statue in front of him with a look of disbelief: "This stone statue is the great monster Wubaizang from hundreds of years ago?"

Wubaizang, as the leader of the civet cat race, is relatively well-known, and his image and legends are written on many "weird records".

Wubaizang was quite dissatisfied with this panicked questioning: "Otherwise, who else would there be? Little girl of the flame, you have said so much to me, but now you are still afraid that my generation will fail?"

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just... Then didn't you hear what I said before?"

Xiaogong suddenly became shy, like a little girl whose secret thoughts were discovered, a rare expression.

How can Wubaizang understand the shyness of the girl, and answered quite honestly: "Of course! The tanuki family has a very good memory. You said that you were the little girl of the Naganohara family, and you said a lot of your father's complaints, and Fireworks, summer that I always talk about..."

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

In the forest, a monkey bark suddenly sounded, and Xiaogong amplified his voice as much as possible to stop Wubaizang's words.

She kept staring at Xia Xia, her nervous heart beating wildly.

Xiaogong is a confidant eldest sister in the eyes of children, a reliable house of all things in the eyes of friends, and a good and sensible child in the eyes of elders... This layer of identity is destined to be difficult to say what you think, and no one can tell.

Therefore, after she discovered the moss-covered Buddha statue in the forest guarding that seemed to be forgotten, she took the stone statue as her exclusive secret point to talk about, happy, unhappy, about family, about friends Yes, about Inami...a lot has been said.

And most, of course, are stories about fireworks, as well as thoughts about "summer".

Of course, this "summer" isn't that summer, it's just her own fantasy. The anthropomorphic image of the "summer" season is the feeling of an invisible friend, one that can only be known by herself, once it spreads out, the society will die. .

She really likes summer, the summer night sky, and the fireworks in the clear summer night sky.

This is the fantasy of a girl or a child, and it's not something to be ashamed of... But if there is someone called Xia Xia around, then maybe even the cracks in the ground can't contain this shame.
