Jing followed my gaze and looked around, her expression a little puzzled at first, then thoughtful. She stood up from me as she thought about something, and the fluttering of pie-shaped snow and miscellaneous objects in the sky became violent, and many of them cracked and made loud noises after bumping.

"Fold, Jing, what's going on outside?"

The mother in the living room trotted out after hearing a loud noise, and when she saw the huge snow cakes and various debris flying in the sky, she covered her mouth in some surprise: "This, this is ...... Blessings. ”

Although she was a little surprised at first, the mother quickly calmed down and confirmed the creator of all this phenomenon.

My mother first reached out and helped me up from the ground, and then turned around and hugged Jing who was in a daze because of her contemplation, and patted her on the back: "Jing, this is Zhu Ling." Calm down, relax your body, look at the snow in the distance, and imagine what nature should be like and let it all go back to what it was. ”

Jing nodded, and looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance according to her mother's words, and after less than ten seconds, the floating things around fell like kites with broken strings, first some messy small things, and finally a huge snow cake.

When the snow cake fell, my mother also used her magic power to lift it up and moved it more than ten meters away before putting it down safely, so as to prevent me from being injured by the snow cake.

The louder sound attracted his father as well, and since the phenomenon had ended, he was standing at the door and grabbed the back of his head in confusion: "Zhiye, what happened?" Are you using mana to remove snow? ”

"Instantly, you change your clothes and go to the town office immediately."

"The town office? Don't...... Quiet? ”

The mother smiled and kissed Jing lightly on the forehead, and then nodded to the father: "Jing's blessing spirit has just appeared, you go to the town office to report it." I'm going to be ready too, and the Board of Education should be sending someone soon. ”

"I see."

Although his father has a somewhat soft personality, he is never indecisive when he encounters major events. He turned back to his room and changed into formal clothes, then stepped out on a snowboard suitable for mana manipulation.

Mother later took Jing back to the living room and began to explain to her the relationship between the spirit and the mana. And I sat on the side and drank hot tea to ward off the cold, there were many places in the placket of the snow, and after being warmed by the body, I wet my underwear, and the three experiences of wetness, stickiness, and cold were mixed together, which made people feel uncomfortable.

After drinking a cup of hot tea, I went back to my room and took out my dry clothes, wiped my whole body with a dry towel until I had a fever, and then changed into clean clothes, so as to avoid catching a cold.

When I returned to the living room after doing this, I found that my father had returned, and with him two other people, a middle-aged man with long shawl hair and an old woman with short haircut, the old woman looked to be about seventy or eighty years old.

When I walked into the living room, the old woman was stroking Jing's body with her hand, as if checking something. Jing unbuttoned the buttons on her clothes, revealing her white shoulders and chest, and when the old woman's hands moved on the skin, it was obvious that her body was trembling slightly, which must have been because the old woman's hands were as cold as dry tree bark.

The inspection lasted more than ten minutes, during which time the air in the living room seemed to stop flowing, and the atmosphere was a little unsettling. The parents sat nervously watching, while the middle-aged man sat with tea in his hand. The tea in his teacup was not replenished after drinking, because his parents did not notice this, and their whole minds were already attracted by the old woman's movements.

When I found out, I gently lifted the teapot from the stove and filled his cup with hot tea, habitually filling the cup with seven points of tea. The middle-aged man smiled and nodded at me, as if aware of this, and I smiled politely back.

"There is no problem with my physical health and my mental state is stable. Kawakami, I'll leave it to you next. ”

After the examination, the old woman nodded at the middle-aged man. Kawakami's expression became serious, and he walked over to Shizun and sat down: "I'm going to ask random questions about what I've learned in school and other questions next, Shiraishi Shizun, you have to answer accurately." ”

"Got it."

With permission, Jing rebuttoned her unbuttoned clothes, and her expression remained calm, without the slightest nervousness or uneasiness.

"Shiraishi Jing, when will your blessing arrive?"

The man called Kawakami and began to ask questions.

"Half an hour ago, the exact time was unclear."

Jing's answer was just like her expression, her speech was slow, her words were clear, and she couldn't hear any urgency or anxiety.

"Why do you think your blessing will appear at that time?"

"My brother fell and looked like he was in pain. I liked my brother very much, and I was in a hurry at that time. ”

There was no pause, the silence was coherent, half truth, half lie, and very misleading—in a way, I did fall, and it was in pain. But she didn't mention why I fell or what she had done, just her own feelings for me.

People who hear this will make up for it in their minds as soon as possible, and they will probably present a picture of the young brother accidentally falling to the ground while playing, looking in pain. And the love between the elder sister and the younger brother is very good, so the mood is too nervous for a while, and the psychological pressure may also increase significantly, which causes the spirit to appear.

"Well, that's right, your brother is really cute."

Kawakami was clearly misled by success. He glanced in my direction, and when he saw that I was looking at him too, he smiled at me again. I can't, let alone debunk Jing's words, so I pretended to be a little embarrassed, and sat down to confirm Jing's words that are difficult to distinguish between true and false.

The Q&A continued, and then Kawakami's questions gradually turned to schoolwork problems, or the way he handled interpersonal relationships, or the sad things he encountered...... All kinds of questions are raised in a staggered manner, without order at all, and do not give people time to react.

But even so, Jing still calmly copes with all the problems. She answers questions that must be accurate and important, and some of the deeds and psychological questions are subject to a certain amount of verbal skills.

Of course, these vague answers can only be heard by me, who understands Jing best, but I will never say them.

After listening to Jing's answers, I was finally sure that she had a very mature personality and extremely intelligent intelligence, but she usually hid it very well. Her timid and quiet posture was the best protective color, and she misled everyone, including her parents, with her taciturn and seemingly confused personality, and even I was only now able to see through her disguise.

The Q&A ended quickly, and Kawakami seemed to be very satisfied with Jing, and he smiled and nodded to the two parents: "There is no problem, your two children seem to be excellent and well educated." ”

"Where, it's just that the two children are more sensible."

The mother modestly put her left hand on her chest and waved it lightly, and her right hand covered her lips and chuckled, looking happy. But I saw sadness in her eyes.

"Well, let's do it now, let's go back and report first, and we will approve it soon. You help the child get ready, and we'll pick her up in the afternoon. ”

"Okay."

"Then please allow us to leave first, and disturb your mansion."

"No, it's obvious that we're causing trouble."

After a polite conversation, my parents sent the two out of the door, and Jing and I looked at each other in silence, without saying a word to each other. Suddenly, she took something out of her coat pocket and handed it to me: "Fold, here you go." ”

I looked down and saw that it was her new blue gloves, with very well-woven lines, and the color and orchid pattern on the back of her hand were beautiful. I was a little puzzled as to why she gave me the new gloves.

"The folded gloves are mine. So, sister's to you. ”

Jing said to me as she took off her old gloves and replaced them with black gloves from her other coat pocket—the ones I had given her for myself, and the new gloves my mother had knitted for me this year.

When she had done this, she raised her hands flat in front of her and tilted her head to look at the star-shaped pattern on the back of her hand. As if amused, a light smile appeared on her face.

I could only take her blue gloves and just look down at them, unable to utter anything.

"Fold it, it's good ice."

My silence didn't affect the silence, she shifted and knelt in front of me, holding my palms hanging from her knees and covering her cheeks, her palms, which had become cold and numb from the cold, took some warmth from her skin.

"This won't work, your hands will freeze, my sister will help me put on gloves."

Stimulated by the coldness of her palms, her face wrinkled, and she picked up the blue gloves that belonged to her and put them on for me.

I felt like a humanoid puppet, the thread on my body being carried by Jing, and I had to be left to her to fiddle with. Unable to resist, unable to stop, I kept sinking and eventually became her plaything, never able to escape her control.

How can I fix her twisted emotions, and how can I escape from the web she has fabricated? Is there only one choice left to obey in the end?

Suddenly, a sense of powerlessness and exhaustion permeated my heart.
