Chapter 1619: The Story of the Sixth Ancestor
"Miss Furukawa, you mean, have you ever seen a fox of this color?" Li Xuehao pointed to the four and a half under his feet, it seemed to be puzzled, and his eyes revealed: When has this woman seen it?
"Yes, right in my house. Furukawa Kaede nodded, and the words he said were even more surprising.
"Are you home?" Li Xuehao looked shocked, but immediately reacted, what Furukawa Kaede said may not be what he thought.
Sure enough, I only heard Furukawa Kaede look at half past four and say: "It's a painting in my house, there is a fox painted on it, the color is the same as it, the fur on the body is fiery red, the tail is golden yellow, but the fox is a ...... with three tails"
After listening to Furukawa Kaede's description, Li Xuehao was relieved, but he was still a little surprised, that painting could draw the body of four and a half, obviously the person who painted had seen four and a half with his own eyes, otherwise it would be impossible to draw it.
He looked down at half-past four, and the latter's eyes were also full of confusion, indicating that he didn't understand, but then he showed an eager expression, as if he wanted to go to Furukawa Kaede's house to see the painting with his own eyes now.
"Miss Furukawa, can you tell us more about that painting?" Li Xuehao was not worried that his continued questioning would make her think that the fox in the painting was half past four, and no matter how rich her imagination was, it would never be possible to make such an association.
Furukawa Kaede also thought he was just curious, and said, "I remember that painting was hung on the wall of the living room of my home since I was a child, and I heard from my father that it was handed down from the Edo period...... Mazhong-kun, are you interested in ancient paintings?"
"No, I'm just curious if there will be a fox of the same color as four-and-a-half, or three tails, that's the legendary youkai. Li Xuehao shook his head, but he was calculating in his heart that the Edo period could be traced back to more than 400 years ago at the earliest, and more than 140 years at the latest, and he had been trapped by the Suwa family for 30 years at half-past four, so where did it live before he was trapped? and what he had done, he didn't know anything about it.
"Speaking of which, there's an interesting story here......" Furukawa Kaede was about to continue, when Nitoin, who had already opened the iron gate, turned around and greeted the two of them, "Miss Kaede, Manaka-kun, you can come in." ”
Li Xuehao responded and said to Furukawa Kaede: "Miss Furukawa, I'm very interested in hearing that interesting story, let's go in and talk about it." ”
"Okay. Furukawa Kaede nodded, and the two of them entered the orphanage together, walking at the back at half past four, and it was also interested in hearing the story.
In the hall that used to be a chapel, Nitoin made tea for the two of them and brought them snacks and her manga drafts, and then went to the kitchen in the back to dispose of the chickens he bought.
Furukawa Kaede was not in a hurry to look at the sketch first, sorted out his words and said: "Actually, this story was told to me by my father since I was a child, because it was amazing, so I didn't tell anyone else, Manaka-kun was the first outsider to hear this story." ”
"I'm honored. Li Xuehao said politely, looked down at half past four, and it squatted at the feet of the two of them, listening carefully.
"About 150 years ago, I heard from my father that it was my sixth ancestor, the grandfather of my grandfather's grandfather, who was a small merchant who made a profit by selling products from the countryside to the city, and one morning he met the shogunate army who was fighting against the shogunate samurai...... At this time, the sky suddenly darkened, and a huge yokai fell from the sky, it killed the soldiers of the shogunate army, but did not harm the sixth ancestor, after the sixth ancestor returned home, in order to thank it for saving his life, he drew the appearance of the monster, it was a fox with three tails, and the painting has been preserved to this day, according to the will of the sixth ancestor, every generation of the Furukawa family, to pass on this story. ”
Speaking of this, Furukawa Kaede paused for a moment and said with some self-deprecation: "I will also tell this story to my children according to my father's instructions, and tell them to pass it on as well." ”
"The story is really interesting. Li Xuehao nodded, looked down at half past four, it was raising its head, staring at Furukawa Kaede, with a thoughtful look in its eyes, as if it was recalling something. This made him feel unmoved, could it be that the monster that saved the sixth ancestor of the Furukawa family at that time was it?
"Manaka-kun, do you believe this story is true?" Furukawa Kaede asked.
"Since it's been handed down from one generation to another, at least it's not a lie. Of course, Li Xuehao can't directly say that he believes it, but his statement is actually equivalent to saying that he believes in the truth of this story.
Furukawa Kaede was slightly stunned, but he didn't think much about it: "Do you know? Even I, a member of the Furukawa family, are half-convinced, but I didn't expect you to believe it." But in this world, how can there be monsters? That's just a legend, only in anime or movie dramas......"
As soon as the words fell, he shouted at his feet at half past four, probably expressing dissatisfaction or disagreement with her words.
Li Xuehao smiled faintly, Furukawa Kaede didn't believe that there were monsters, he couldn't let four and a half show his original form, right? That would probably scare her stupid directly.
"You're right, Miss Furukawa, youkai or something, if you don't see it with your own eyes, no one will believe it. Li Xuehao echoed, and at the same time signaled for the four and a half under his feet to be quieter.
At half past four, he was very angry, staring at Furukawa Kaede, his eyes rolling, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Li Xuehao didn't notice this, his thoughts had already drifted to Nito Yuanichi in the back kitchen: "Miss Furukawa, read the comic manuscript, I'll go and see if there is anything that Miss Yuanyi needs help with." ”
"Okay, Zhenzhong-kun, you please. Furukawa Kaede nodded, she could also take a look at Miss Yuanichi's new manga.
Li Xuehao said goodbye and left, and at half past four, he didn't follow him, but stayed where he was. Li Xuehao was worried that it would retaliate against others because it was denied by Furukawa Kaede, so he gave a warning before leaving.
Walking into the kitchen, Nito Yuan was processing the chicken she had just bought, and it had been cleaned, and she was cutting with a kitchen knife, but her strength was limited, so she cut it very slowly and was very focused, and she didn't even notice that he came in.
"Miss Yuanyi. Li Xuehao stepped forward.
"Ahh
