A patrolman guarding the well was carrying a long knife, his face was honest, and his skin was bronzed by the sun's rays.

It was Nozawa who contributed his family's tortoise to the shrine.

"Three more days." Nozawa was a little impatient, and today alone, no less than a dozen people asked him the same question.

"Huh? Three more days? Disappointed, the villagers subconsciously licked their chapped lips, their eyes like wolves in the dark, staring at the well that emitted a cool scent.

"In three days, Lord Ji will inspect the well, and after the relics are not dead, the well will be put into use, and then you can bring your own wooden bucket to fetch water." Nozawa opened his voice loudly, wanting to explain clearly and neatly at one time, and the villagers of the province were asking him this and that.

However, he far underestimated the yearning of ordinary villagers for water resources at this stage.

As soon as Nozawa roared, the villager standing next to the well said impatiently, "Nozawa, what is that holy thing?" We all heard that this well was made at the request of Master Ji, why do you have to wait so many days? ”

Nozawa frowned, it was a hot day, and there was a large group of people around him, even if he was standing in the cool place by the well, he felt irritable.

"How can you know the holy things? This is the rule set by Lord Ji! Ji-sama represents the shrine! Now, who else is not satisfied? ”

The ordinary villagers who were watching were dumbfounded, in their opinion, they could have a relationship with Yae Ji in normal times, calling him "Ji", "Xiao Ji" and the like, and Yae Ji would not put on a show.

It can represent the Yae Shrine of Ji-sama, that's another matter.

"I remember that it wasn't the fox god who was in charge of the rain? Will Lord Ji dig a well for everyone to use, will the gods be dissatisfied? ”

The crowd fell silent in an instant.

The villager who spoke was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and when he saw so many people looking at him at the same time, he turned pale with fright, thinking that he had said something wrong.

"That's right, the god is in charge of the rain river, and only through sacrifices can the fox god be happy, so as to give favors, this Lord Ji digs a well to get water, isn't it...... Privately ...... the wealth of the fox god"

The villagers muttered quietly, and talked about Yae Ji in private, but at the same time, they maintained a high level of reverence for the fox god, and did not dare to offend in the slightest.

Nozawa was furious in his heart, in his opinion, these villagers were stupid! I don't know the secrets, even if I dare to talk about it!

"What do you know!" Nozawa yelled, "This is a ...... that was carried out under the guidance of the gods" Nozawa glanced at his teammates next to him and asked in a low voice, "What is the development going on?" ”

"Engineering."

"Yes!" Nozawa raised his voice: "This is a project that was carried out under the guidance of the gods!" It's an oracle! Beware of the fox god punishing you! ”

The crowd panicked.

It was still the boy who was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and he stubbornly said, "I heard my grandmother say that only shrine shrine maidens can communicate with the fox god, could it be that Sakura-sama has become a shrine maiden?" ”

Nozawa narrowed his eyes and stared at the boy.

Is this trying to smash the field or what?

"Can the greatness of the fox god and the energy of the shrine be something you can imagine? Don't think that if you know some secrets, you can tell the country here! ”

After Nozawa finished yelling, he whispered to his teammates next to him, "I didn't use these two words wrong, right?" ”

“......”

Seeing that no one dared to talk back, Nozawa was like a big rooster that had won, majestic and high-spirited, and there was a bit of an unbeatable taste.

Just as Nozawa raised his head and scanned these "ignorant" villagers with his peripheral vision, he suddenly saw a familiar figure on the outermost part.

Take a look.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Ji-sama is here! ”

Nozawa rudely interjected into the large crowd of villagers, but when the villagers heard this, they began to consciously give way to the way.

Yaeji smiled, nodding to the villagers who were looking at him from time to time.

With that rather healing appearance, he immediately swept away the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the villagers.

In their eyes, Yaeji, who is destined to become the head of the shrine, has a very high status, and the other party has always had a very good image in the village for so many years, and most of the villagers have a very good impression of Yaeji.

"Lord Ji is here?" Nozawa said with a smile, completely losing the arrogance of the big rooster before.

"In the past few days, our patrol team has been stationed at the well day and night, and absolutely no one can steal a drop of water."

"Hmm." Yaeki nodded, stood by the well and glanced inside.

It's pitch black, and a cool air rushes up in the summer, not to mention how comfortable it is.

"Send someone down to see if the turtle is dead."

"I'll go down, I'll go down!" Nozawa hurriedly handed his katana to his teammates.

"Okay."

It didn't take long for Nozawa, who had gone down to the well, to shout from the bottom up: "Lord Ji, the holy relic is not dead!" ”

"How's the spirit?"

"Spirit?" Nozawa, who stayed in the well, was stunned, the well didn't say that it was dark, but the sight was not very good, and as soon as he picked up the "holy object", the other party would get into the turtle shell, he really couldn't judge.

"Wait a minute, Lord Ji!"

There were bursts of echoes from the well, which made Yae Ji frown, and it was impossible for them to have any heavy metals from another world that exceeded the standard and polluted ...... Wait a minute!

Yae Ji narrowed his demonic eyes, he remembered that Daisuke got a monster stump from outside the village a few days ago, since the monster stump can turn people into corpses, if there is a dead monster's blood flowing into the ......

"Lord Ji! The holy relic is alive with a super-spirit! It's just a little shy! ”

The sound at the bottom of the well came again, and Yae Ji breathed a sigh of relief and motioned to the patrol members next to him, "Pull him up." ”

"Yes!"

After a while, Nozawa, who was stained with some water, was filled with a large wooden barrel.

"Has it changed in any way?"

"Nope." Nozawa shook his head, "It's good and it's very energetic. ”

Yaju Ji nodded: "After the shift change, you go to the stonemason in the village to discuss the reinforcement of the well, as well as the manhole cover, and it is best to design one to prevent water evaporation." ”

"Yes!" Nozawa was confused when he heard it, he didn't understand what evaporated and what hair, anyway, he did what Yae Ji arranged.

"Also, it's better to transplant two trees to the well, if there is water, there is a good chance of survival."

"Okay, no problem, our brother will be able to do it in the evening!" Nozawa assured and looked forward to it: "Lord Ji, it's all like this, can you guarantee that the well will be officially used in three days?" ”

"If the turtle hadn't changed much from seven days ago."

Nozawa nodded violently, excited and unable to extricate himself.

Yaeji looked at the well, and then lifted his feet and left from the path from which he came.

"Ji-sama!"

"Huh?" Yae Ji, who was halfway there, turned around and found that it was the boy who had been picking on the thorns from the beginning.
