In the past, no one came to the peach forest, but today there are a few people standing.

Brother Zhao was also there, a large snakeskin bag, straddling his right shoulder, behind his back.

"Brother Zhao, what's wrong, why are there so many people here today?"

"Yes...... Ghost ......"

Brother Zhao's smile was a little silly, and what he said was not so clear.

Sure enough, the people in Qinghe Town still regarded the girl in the peach forest as a ghost.

Night, appear in such a place.

And she is also a very beautiful girl, such a scene is indeed easy to make people suspicious.

"What are those people doing here?"

Although Brother Zhao is a fool, he doesn't know a lot of things.

After all, he is in Qinghe Town every day, picking up garbage everywhere, and he can hear a lot of such news.

"Catch ...... Ghost ......"

……

The people of Qinghe Town waited in the peach forest for a few days.

But the girl never came out, and during this time, Grandma Wang's grandson's illness had also recovered. Just a common cold.

People who couldn't wait for that girl to appear eventually had to give up.

"I'll just say it's someone else's child, you have to be superstitious."

"Let's go, let's go, those old people in the town are like this, and you don't know it."

The keepers of the peach grove left.

At this time, a fiery fox came out of a weed.

"I advise you not to come out again, otherwise, something will happen sooner or later."

The fox's mouth didn't open, but the peach tree seemed to hear it.

On a dead branch, a few gorgeous peach blossoms bloom.

"I woke up from my slumber, and I didn't know whose call I had accepted or who I was. Why do I have to hide here all the time?"

The sound of the peach tree, only the fox can hear.

The girl's voice is very good, and it should be a relatively small youkai.

"I'm leaving, if I've been here. I'll be discovered by humans. The advice I give you, you must remember. Now this world is no longer the world we used to be. Youkai are not welcome in humans nowadays, and we have to hide our identity. ”

After the fox finished speaking, he left quietly.

The petals withered and drifted down with the wind.

The peach blossom demon chose to believe in the three-tailed fox.

……

Chen Beibei didn't see the peach forest bloom after all.

One day, a call came from home, and the uncle fell into a dry well and fell to his death.

Chen Beibei never thought of this news, obviously only in his forties.

How could he die suddenly?

Chen Beibei returned to his hometown with the three-tailed fox.

I was away from home and really wanted to go home. But because of this reason, Chen Beibei's mood is still very heavy.

The uncle lived with his daughter, and after the wife gave birth to the child, he left.

He can only blame himself for all this, who made him love to gamble?

Chen Beibei began to worry about what his daughter, Chen Yan, would do after the uncle's death.

Chen Yan is one year younger than Chen Beibei and is Chen Beibei's cousin.

In the past, the uncle was busy playing cards and mahjong, so he didn't have time to care about her.

So when Chen Yan was six or seven years old, he had already learned to do his own laundry and cook.

After all, one can't go hungry.

"Master, what do you want?"

The three-tailed fox looked at Chen Beibei's eyes all the time looking out of the car window, as if he was thinking about something.

"It's nothing, by the way, sister, outside, don't call me master. This will cause some unnecessary trouble. ”

"Well, Chen Beibei."

The three-tailed fox is very smart, and he understood Chen Beibei's meaning at once.

But if you just take the three-tailed fox home, it seems to be just as suspicious.

Although at this time, the three-tailed fox had already wiped off the lipstick, washed the fat powder off his face, and put on a very ordinary girl's clothes.

looked like just a girl about the same size as Chen Beibei.

However, how to explain her identity when she is suddenly brought home?

It seems that there is only one way.

Let the three-tailed fox pretend to be his girlfriend......

"Three-tailed fox, when you get home, you can pretend to be my girlfriend. That way, no one else will suspect your identity. ”

Chen Beibei looked at the three-tailed fox and said to her.

"Well, yes, listen to you."

The monster is really good, she was a few decades ago, and now she is still the same as before.

You can always stay young and energetic.

Chen Beibei's hometown is a small village surrounded by mountains.

There used to be three spring water caves in the village, which were called, Sanquan Village.

In the past, no one in the village dug a well.

So drinking water, cooking rice, all this water is fetched in these three springs.

The village is not large, with more than a dozen families.

So it was very convenient to fetch water, but later, the water was dirty and could not be drunk.

Chen Beibei still remembers that when he was a child, when he was out of school, he would go to the spring cave and drink water directly with his hand.

The water is sweet and that feeling is good.

Chen Beibei walked on the road of Sanquan Village, and everything was so familiar.

It seems that nothing has changed in more than a decade.

Or, change slowly, let him accept it slowly. So much so that in the end, it changed beyond recognition, and I thought it was the way it was.

The village has changed, the spring water is no longer clear, and plastic bags of pesticides float on it.

The small ditches that were dug to facilitate irrigation have now dried up.

In such a ditch, there used to be a lot of fish, and friends who went out to kill fish at night should know about it.

Perhaps the biggest change, or perhaps the most obvious change, is that the former brick houses are now reinforced concrete buildings.

"Chen Beibei, you're back."

A voice rang out, it was an uncle from the village.

"Well, uncle, what about going to work?"

In Chen Beibei's village, non-relative males who are younger than their father all call their uncles.

"Well, I'll go first."

Everyone knows the reason why Chen Beibei went home, so Uncle didn't talk too much.

On weekdays, of course, I would talk to Chen Beibei about the girl next to him.

When Chen Beibei returned home, it was empty, and his parents were not at home.

At this time, you must be going to your uncle's house, right?

The uncle died in a dry well, which was very deep, and it was the villagers who put him in a frame and pulled him up.

At this time, he was lying in the middle of the hall.

The close relatives had already arrived, and Chen Yan was standing alone against the door frame.

The expression on his face, Chen Beibei couldn't describe it.

Maybe at this moment, she is a little worried about her future life.

Perhaps, although the uncle doesn't care about her on weekdays, it is a house after all, and the two of them have lived together for more than ten or twenty years, and they are used to it.

As soon as the uncle left, he felt that the house was somewhat different, empty, or deserted......

"Chen Beibei, are you back?"

This is the first thing Chen Yan said after seeing Chen Beibei.

Although Chen Beibei is her cousin, there is not much difference in age between the two.

That's why Chen Yan has always been called that.
