Xiao Qi frowned and nodded, she and Qin Xiusheng thought of going together. Although the mayor didn't follow him personally, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't send the other townsfolk to keep an eye on them.

"We'll go back for the time being, and we'll find a chance to sneak out in the evening. To be on the safe side, Xiaoqi decided to return to the town temporarily. After the last incident, the mayor has always suspected that she has been under witchcraft, so naturally he will not let his guard down on her.

Qin Xiusheng sighed, although he was unwilling, but he could only return to the town temporarily according to what Xiao Qi said. At this time, he suddenly thought of Luo Ziran. According to the previous plan, Luo Ziran would go directly to the outside of the town after being swapped out. If he doesn't see him after leaving town, there's a good chance he'll come back to look for him. If someone finds out, then Xiaoqi's plan will be all in vain.

"Xiaoqi, what should Ziran do over there, I'm afraid he has already gone out at this time. ”

Xiao Qi's face became a little ugly, and she also thought of Qin Xiusheng's worries. It would be fine if Luo Ziran could keep his senses and wait outside the town all the time. But if he was in a hurry and returned to the town to look for Qin Xiusheng, then all his efforts would be wasted.

"Now, we have to hold a festival on an impromptu basis. Xiao Qi bit his lip vigorously and replied softly, "When the festival is held, all the townspeople will gather in the square. At that time, even if Luo Ziran comes back to look for you, it will not be easy for other townspeople to find out. ”

Qin Xiusheng nodded and agreed with Xiao Qi's decision. He asked, a little worried, "Where should I go when the festival is held, and will I be with you?"

After thinking about it, Xiao Qi nodded, "The festival was just held yesterday, and it will be held again soon, and the mayor must be suspicious in his heart." He's already seen you, and he'll definitely be on the lookout at the festival. If I can't see you, something will inevitably go wrong. ”

Qin Xiusheng nodded helplessly, he originally expected to slip away while the festival was coming. However, Xiaoqi's worries are not unreasonable. They are not familiar with the place, even if they slip away during the festival, if the mayor sees that something is wrong, he will definitely send the townspeople to chase them immediately, and there is no way to escape.

Xiao Qi quickly ordered to go down and hold a festival in the square. Although it had only opened yesterday, the townspeople had all gathered in the square, waiting for the festival to begin.

Qin Xiusheng wore a mask and followed Xiao Qi's side. He was nervous. Having participated in yesterday's festival, he knew very well that Xiao Qi and her guards would definitely be the focus of everyone's attention at the festival. He feared that someone would find out who he was.

Xiao Qi also understood Qin Xiusheng's worries very well in her heart, she stretched out her hand and gently patted Qin Xiusheng's shoulder, and whispered in her ear, "Don't be nervous, the more nervous you are, the easier it is to be exposed." You stay with me during the festival and try not to speak. ”

Qin Xiusheng nodded, and he agreed. Xiao Qi changed into an old-fashioned armor and sat on the sedan chair. Qin Xiusheng walked to the side of the sedan chair, holding a horn in his hand, and pretended to blow it.

Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the sedan chair, kept an eye on Qin Xiusheng, for fear that he would show his flaws because of nervousness. The group crowded on both sides of the sedan chair and slowly advanced towards the square.

While pretending to blow the horn, Qin Xiusheng followed the sedan chair cautiously following the people around him. Soon arrived at the square, and seeing the townspeople surrounding the square, Qin Xiusheng's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Xiao Qi noticed Qin Xiusheng's constantly shaking shoulders, and she hurriedly stretched out her hand from the sedan chair and beckoned to Qin Xiusheng.

Seeing this, Qin Xiusheng put down the horn in his hand and walked to Xiao Qi's side.

"Give me your hand. Under the cover of the earth-shattering horn, Xiao Qi secretly said to Qin Xiusheng beside him.

When Qin Xiusheng heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly handed his hand to Xiao Qi.

Grabbing Qin Xiusheng's hand, Xiao Qi motioned to the person carrying the sedan chair to put it down, and then walked down from the sedan chair with Qin Xiusheng's support.

"Relax, as long as you don't show flaws, others won't find out. At the wrong time, Xiao Qi gently reminded Qin Xiusheng in his ear.

Qin Xiusheng nodded hurriedly. Xiao Qi held the back of his hand tightly, and to his surprise, when Xiao Qi's hand held him, the tension in his heart was relieved a lot.

Xiao Qi walked down from the sedan chair with Qin Xiusheng's support, she was worried that Qin Xiusheng would still feel nervous, so she didn't let go of his hand.

Xiao Qi's actions were seen by the other townspeople, and a trace of doubt flashed in everyone's eyes. Although Xiaoqi was approachable in the past, even with her guards, he has always maintained a distance. But today it seems to be different, she actually held the hands of the guards tightly at the festival.

Although his heart was full of doubts, he did not ask. In the eyes of the townspeople, Xiaoqi is a god-like existence. Naturally, they don't interfere with what God does.

"My lord, the festival was just held yesterday, why did you hold it again in a hurry today?" the mayor walked out of the crowd, he bowed slightly to Xiao Qi, and then asked respectfully.

Xiao Qi was very calm, and she replied slowly, "I went around the village today and found that the power of the curse has increased, so I decided to hold a festival. ”

In the face of Xiaoqi's explanation, the mayor did not have the slightest doubt. He nodded, and said, "In that case, let's distribute holy water to the townsfolk as we normally do." ”

Xiao Qi shook her head, the herbs she had boiled had been distributed yesterday. The decision to convene the festival was made on an ad hoc basis, and there was no time to prepare.

"This time the power of the curse is very strong, and I am afraid that the holy water alone cannot be dispelled. Xiao Qi's face was very calm, and he couldn't see anything unusual, "I decided to perform a moon festival to weaken the power of the curse." ”

As soon as Xiao Qi's words came out, the surrounding townspeople let out a burst of exclamations. The mayor's face also showed a solemnity.

"My lord, do you really want to hold a moon festival?" the mayor asked with a solemn face and some disbelief, "The moon festival is an event that only takes place during ancestor worship, could it be that the power of the curse has increased to this point?"

Seeing the reactions of the mayor and the other townspeople, Qin Xiusheng felt helpless in his heart. The curse didn't exist at all, and they took it so seriously that he couldn't laugh or cry.

Xiao Qi nodded solemnly and said, "I can only hold a moon sacrifice." However, please rest assured that as long as the moon festival is successful, the power of the curse will definitely be suppressed. ”
