Chapter 22: Sakura's Little Cloth Bag

The night was like a blanket with no end in sight, painted with a pale color, and many of the stars seen last night were hidden in it, and they could not be found in any way. It will not be long before he will most likely see the scene of "the sun and the moon shining together".

Yae Ji opened his eyes vigorously, shifting his gaze from the night to the patrol team in front of him.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven."

Seven people, seven faces, all with expressions bordering on fanatical expressions.

"Can't you wait until early in the morning to come back? At this time, you still want to go down the well to catch the turtle and come up? It's so dark, who dares to go down? ”

"I dare!"

"I dare!"

The patrolmen scrambled to speak.

Yae Ji was speechless, didn't these people understand the meaning of his words?

Nozawa, who had a simple face, stood up, and he said with a bitter face: "It's not that we want to wake you up, but the news of the opening of the well in seven days has already spread, and since yesterday afternoon, there have been villagers with buckets and Tao waiting in line to fetch water." I was woken up in the middle of the night by someone else. ”

Yae Ji frowned, "The first ten people can hit a scoop of water, and the others can wait until the evening." ”

"Huh? Then they ......"

"What are they? When is seven days for yourself? When did we dig a well and put in the turtles, let them continue to line up! ”

The cold wind blew in the early morning, and Nozawa shivered, I don't know if it was his delusion, he always felt that he saw the shadow of the god lord ten years ago.

"Yes...... Isn't it too partial, to let the first ten people take a scoop of water first? "Some patrolmen were puzzled.

"It's a reward for queuing up early." Yae Ji squinted at those demonic eyes, he was not in a bad mood, but took into account various factors.

There are no monsters in the other world, and letting a turtle into a well is just a way to check for heavy metals or pollution.

But the blood of youkai is different, and who knows if only people can be infected? It's better to be careful.

Ninety percent of the eightfold Ji is sure that it will be fine, but he is not afraid of 10,000, just in case.

"Let's go, let's go to the well first."

Yae Ji stepped forward, and the wooden door of the house next to him creaked, revealing a small head with pink hair inside.

"Brother, can I go with me too?"

"Let's come along."

Yae Sakura's little face was overjoyed, and she hurriedly walked out of the house.

"Let's go."

.......

From a distance, you can see a black head gathered at the side of the well, and at the beginning a dozen or so people can still line up honestly, and then they are crowded into a big black group, quite a posture that you don't let me, I don't let you.

When Yae Ji and the others came to the well, the patrol members who had already prepared immediately went down the well and fished up the "holy relics".

"My lord, I've seen it, the holy relic is very spiritual, and it's alive and well."

The team members held the turtle in both hands and handed the "holy relic" to Yaeji.

The villagers who were waiting to fetch water all around them rushed forward to catch a glimpse of the legendary "holy relics", and they had always maintained a curiosity about rumors about gods and the like.

Yae Ji put the turtle on the ground and didn't touch it. It wasn't long before the turtle poked its head out and glanced out a few times, then retracted.

'It's not polluted, it's not changed. ’

Yaeji roughly judged, breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered an explanation to the patrol members behind him, and they announced the news.

......

"What? Only the first ten people can hit a scoop of water? Others have to wait until the evening? ”

"Our family has been queuing since yesterday afternoon, how can this be?"

"That's it! Why did they get the water first? Just because you came a little before us? ”

"Silence!"

Nozawa yelled, "You guys want to question the relic? Or do you want to question the gods?! ”

As soon as God was mentioned, the villagers who had originally made a noise in the bazaar immediately died down, and there was no longer a trace of complaint.

"That's it! Ten people come here to get a scoop of water before the meeting, and they can only drink it here! Do you hear that?! ”

When Nozawa was releasing his loud voice, Yae Ji touched the man in charge of the patrol and whispered, "Later, you will send someone to closely observe the people who have drunk the water, and if there is any change, notify me immediately." ”

A strange color flashed in the man's eyes, and he lowered his head, "Yes." ”

Yaeji suddenly felt her hand being held by another small hand.

"Brother."

Yae Sakura leaned closer to him and said worriedly, "Nothing will happen, right?" ”

"It's fine." Yaeji smiled, "Tired of staying? Do you want to go home and make breakfast for Rin first? ”

"Is my brother going to stay here?"

"Hmm."

Yae Sakura glanced at the sky, the dawn had just broken and most of the night had receded, and the middle of the sky had formed a nice overcolor.

"It's still early, I'll be with you for a while." Sakurazu's round and jade voice came into the pinna, and the smile at the corner of Yaeji's mouth curled even more.

"Okay."

The voice didn't sound like any waves, just the hands of the two little people holding together, tighter.

The man stepped aside and came to the patrol, leaving space for the two of them.

"The water is coming!"

Tie hemp rope to the handle of the barrel and scoop the first bucket of water from the well.

The young man who fetched the water swallowed his saliva frantically, and if it hadn't been for the captain's repeated orders, he would have come first.

"Come here, one person and one scoop of water, no one can scoop more, drink here before leaving! If you don't want to leave, just go to the side and rest. ”

The top 10 villagers scooped water from the bucket with the wooden scoops given by the patrol team, and when they tried to scoop it a second time, they were blasted away by the patrol members.

When the other villagers saw that there was still a small half of the bucket left, they were eager for a "hungry tiger to pounce on food" to rush forward. Fortunately, reason prevailed over desire, and they were thirsty most of the day anyway, and they didn't care about these hours.

Most of the top 10 villagers who have tasted the benefits have gone home, and only two of them have stayed aside to rest, hoping to grab water from the well as soon as possible.

The man gave the patrol members a look, and eight young men quietly walked around the side and followed the eight people away.

This scene happened to be seen by a teenager.

Early morning.

Sakura rushes back to the shrine to make breakfast for her sister Rin, and Yae Ji simply finds a stone to sit down. The weather is dry and hot, crowded and stuffy, and the trees that have just been transplanted to the well have not yet grown new shoots, so they have no shade effect.

There were very few people chatting, and as the sun rose, it freely exuded its energy, and people's desire to chat became lower and lower, and even many villagers in the back line left.

The whole area was dreary.

"呲~"

"Excuse me, give way. Thank you, thank you. ”

Sakura's crisp voice was heard, and the villagers sitting cross-legged on the ground automatically moved out of the way.

Yae Sakura, dressed in a miniature maiden costume, carries a small cloth bag and keeps thanking the villagers for getting out of the way.

"Whew~"

The little girl who came to Yaeji's side breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly untied the small cloth bag tied to herself.

"Brother, I brought your breakfast."

Sakura held a small cloth bag and carefully placed it next to the stone, spreading the corners evenly, and three large rice balls were quietly placed in it.

......

Yae Sakura holding a rice ball.

"Want to eat? Just exchange it for a referral ticket. ”
