Seeing the cuckoo bird speak, a group of people immediately became confused.

"Hahaha, you outsiders, you are so timid, haven't you ever seen a talking cuckoo bird?" the little cuckoo hovered in the sky and sneered.

Not far away, Qianqiu and Dong Na walked over at this time.

"Don't make trouble, don't scare others. Dong Na stopped it.

When the little cuckoo in the sky heard this, he looked at the person who stopped him: "Nana, you're back!" After speaking, the little cuckoo flapped its wings and turned into a ball of yellow light, turning into a lovely little girl in a pale yellow robe and a ponytail.

"Everyone, this is a little spirit beast in Qingshui County, and it won't hurt people. Dong Na explained to those who had long been far away.

"It turned out to be a spirit beast, Lao Pan, don't hide, look at you, how timid you are. ”

"Spirit beasts, I say, how can youkai grow so playful and cute. ”

...

Everyone, you said a word, relieved from the fright, discussed the little cuckoo for a while, and also felt very like, but thinking that they had to hurry, they and Qianqiu said goodbye first, and walked to Qingshui County.

At this time, Dong Na pulled the little cuckoo and introduced her: "Huijuan, this is a thousand adults, a cultivator. When Hui Juan heard this, his face was a little unnatural, and he stepped back slightly: "I've seen a thousand adults." ”

Qianqiu nodded with a smile and said to Dong Na, "As far as I know, spirit beasts should not be able to transform into human forms. Dong Na, she's not a spirit animal, but a cuckoo demon. However, there is no pungent demonic aura on his body, but it has some smell of fireworks in the world. ”

Dong Na was stunned for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "I still can't hide the eyes of adults, Huijuan is indeed a little goblin." Back then, I rescued her from under the mouth of a cat, I thought it was an ordinary little beast, but I turned into a human after being injured. I was scared at first, but soon I realized that she was actually a kind little goblin, so I took her in. Staying in the county as a messenger bird, everyone thought it was a spirit animal and liked her very much. People are disgusted and afraid of monsters, and they hope that the adults will keep it a secret for Huijuan. ”

Qianqiu nodded, looking at Huijuan, who was a little scared: "Don't worry, I won't hurt you, and I will keep your secret for you." ”

Huijuan, who was originally a little frightened, nodded, and suddenly thought of something: "Nana, you have been missing for a day and a night, and your father has mobilized the whole county to look for you, and they are all about to go crazy." Thank goodness you're okay, let's go home. ”

Qianqiu called the knife: "The specific situation, let's talk on the road." ”

The Sanchuan River goes east for less than a mile to reach Qingshui County.

After entering the county, a team of county officials happened to patrol by, and the leading catcher saw Dong Na and his party who had just entered the county at a glance.

"Nana, good fellow, you're finally back!" the headcatcher kicked his feet, got off his seat, dismounted, got up, and flew over.

Qianqiu looked at it, and the head catcher who flew over was actually a woman, wearing a high official hat, heroic and sassy, and standing in front of the knife very neatly, and weighed her: a little cultivated.

"It seems that you are still a celebrity, how can everyone know you. Qianqiu smiled and helped Dong Na off the horse.

Dong Na replied with a smile when she heard this: "The adults are joking, my father is still a little capable, and the little girl will naturally make more friends." ”

"Why haven't I seen you, aren't you from Qingshui County?" The female catcher saw Qianqiu on the side, and her momentum was a little compelling, so she raised the scabbard of the official knife slightly, and asked vigilantly.

Dong Na hurriedly stepped forward, clarified the ins and outs with the female head catcher, and turned back to introduce to Qianqiu: "Her name is Cen Rong, she is the head catcher of the county government, one of my friends, her temper is a little impatient, but she is very righteous and bold." Over the years, thanks to her guarding, the security of Qingshui County will not be as messy as outside. I hope you don't mind. ”

"No, Cen Zhutou saw a foreign figure, and it was appropriate to interrogate carefully. Chiaki clenched his fists and said.

"Hey, you kid, Nana said that you saved her, it sounds like she has some ability, Ben Catcher admires the capable character very much, not bad! " Cen Rong was also informal, and he forgot about the interrogation just now, and hugged his fists in return.

"Nana, go home quickly, I'm going crazy looking for you outside. Cen Rong hurriedly reminded.

The group rushed to Dong Na's house non-stop.

When he arrived at the gate of Dong's mansion, he had never seen the world, only heard about the world, and saw what a big family is, how could there be such a gorgeous mansion gate in the mountains, and the stone lions at the door were enough for him to study carefully for a long time.

Needless to say, the touching scene of the father-daughter reunion is needless to say, after explaining the ins and outs of everything, the family is grateful to Qianqiu, and hopes that Qianqiu can live longer, so that they can fulfill the friendship of the landlord.

Qianqiu, who had just come down the mountain, also had a place to settle down temporarily, and agreed, but he didn't covet this comfortable environment, but had his own ideas.

On the morning of the second day, under the personal leadership of Miss Dong, Qianqiu looked around the entire Dong Mansion. Qianqiu understands the details of this family clearly. This Dong Yuanwai is indeed very capable, in the early years of the silk business, wealth accumulation rapidly, now he is the richest man in Qingshui County, and Mrs. Dong's maiden family is the famous Sun family in Huanghu City, the Sun family is the elder brother of Mrs. Dong, is the general of the imperial court Flying Tiger, the official worships the second product, and the red man around the emperor. With money and power in hand, the Dong family and the Sun family have become well-known families.

There are dozens of servants and slaves in the Dong Mansion, large and small, needless to mention the luxury of the main courtyard, there are several large and small courtyards, and there are even some fields in the backyard, planting all kinds of vegetables, and there are several circles of livestock in the captivity, pigs, cattle and sheep. Whenever there is a festival, the Dong Mansion does not go out to buy these vegetables and meat. Such a wealthy family, the guard is also very strict, some time ago to prepare the objects for the big day, and even seconded the government officials to come to guard the courtyard, once someone makes trouble, they will be dragged away directly, but even so, there is still a situation where the bride is taken away.

Qianqiu looked at the whole mansion, everyone was kind and helped each other, it was really a model house. However, he always felt that something was wrong, so he invited Dong Yuanwai to tell him the truth.

"Master Qian, are you saying that there is a monster in my house, and it was this demon who kidnapped Na'er yesterday?"

Dong Yuanwai asked in disbelief.

"I'm not sure if it's in your mansion or Qingshui County, but I can be sure that there are youkai. Chiaki sat and pondered.

"Master Qian, I hope you will surrender this demon, and I will wait for a purity. In recent years, Qingshui County has indeed been a little unpeaceful, and some magicians from Huanghu City and even the Holy Capital have been invited to catch demons, but the monsters have come and gone without a trace, and they have all returned in vain. "The director is very worried.

"Outside, please rest assured about this, I will definitely leave the monsters in Qingshui County again, but during this time, everyone should be more careful. Qianqiu stood up, he replied to Dong Yuanwai's words, and thought that he should go out for a walk and learn more about the situation.

"There's Lord Lao Qian. ”

Qianqiu walked out of the Dong Mansion, looked around, called for the knife, and stroked its silver-white mane: "The knife, do you also feel that something is wrong, when I entered Qingshui County, I felt that there was a looming demonic aura, but I couldn't find it." ”

The knife lowered his head, sniffed the ground, and shouted towards the Dong Mansion and then to the west.

Chiaki felt the beads turned into the contract talisman at the pond move, and he could sense the thoughts of the knife.

"You mean, the monster is in the Dong Mansion but is gone now?"

Knife nodded.

Qianqiu thought about it for a while, the spirit beast has a greater sense of sensitivity to monsters than people, but there is no way to distinguish between good and evil, and he will never take the initiative to attack, at this time he saw a small bird flying in the sky, and suddenly thought of something, and said helplessly: "Knife, you shouldn't say Huijuan......"

Knife didn't answer this time, just looked down.

"Sure enough, I can't just count on you, let's work together. Qianqiu, who thought he had some clues, also understood at this moment that things were not so simple.

Chiaki looked around while holding the knife, thinking, "Knife, if only I could put you into the contract talisman." You're so big, sometimes we have to think about hiding you, and if you were there last night, we would have caught that youkai and not run away. ”

The knife suddenly raised its head and hissed.

"You mean—is that okay?" Chiaki exclaimed in surprise, hurriedly turning back to Knife, "What to do?"

Knife lowered his head again and did not answer.

A few aunts passed by, and they watched Qianqiu talking to the white horse behind them, and a few people started talking.

"Tut-tut, this young man, who has gone mad at a young age, talks to horses. ”

"That's the way to say it, how can you be stupid when you grow up. ”

"Lao Yang, go back and talk to your grandson, I see that your grandson chatters with cats and dogs every day. ”

"That's called innocence, what do you know?"

......

Qianqiu on the side was depressed, but he didn't expect the surrounding discussions to start talking about him, so he stopped paying attention to the knife, and thought: The aunts in Qingshui County are really good at talking.

After a few streets, the depressed Qianqiu mood gradually improved. Although Qingshui County is not big, there is a long river running through it in the middle of the county, the water is very clear, and many bridges have been built on it, which are very distinctive. There are brick houses built along the river, and there are mud houses scattered around, and it is the time of the lunch market, and the bustling villagers walk around, which seems to be very lively.

After turning a few streets, Qianqiu actually found the county office, and there were a few poor people standing at the door of the county office, basking in the sun and chatting.

After a while, a team of messengers came from a distance, escorting a gorgeous sedan chair, and when they arrived at the gate of the county government, the sedan chair stopped. The sedan curtain was opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a black veil and an official uniform came out of the sedan chair, and he walked to the door of the county government while humming a small song while teasing the bird in the cage he was holding in his right hand.

When the messengers saw him coming, they hurriedly stood up, and said respectfully, "My lord!" It turned out that this person was the county magistrate of Qingshui County.

The county magistrate nodded, didn't look at them, and walked over. At this moment, a master ran out of the county office, waved the fan in his hand, and hurriedly shouted: "My lord, go quickly, go quickly! The eldest lady took a knife and said that she was going to cut you!"

As soon as Qianqiu heard this, she opened her mouth and smiled, and continued to watch this good show happily.

Seeing the master's panicked appearance, the county commander threw away the birdcage, turned around and left, and shouted to the palanquin: "Hurry up, go back to the Aromatic Pavilion!"

Before the county magistrate had taken a few steps, a voice came from behind him: "Li Xingming, where are you going!" When the words fell to the ground, a woman ran out of the county office.

The woman who chased her out looked sideways, held a bright kitchen knife in her hand, and pointed at the county commander who turned around to run and roared angrily.
