Chapter 14: Helpers

"What did that grandpa tell you? Walking out of the clearing, Qingxi asked curiously. Seriously, she was initially skeptical of Boro's idea of chasing the wind. Because that doesn't make sense.

"Actually, I didn't say anything. Boro turned to Qingxi and smiled and said, "Uncle told me that he didn't know what to do when he caught the wind. ”

"Then you're so happy. ”

"Even though he didn't know how to catch the wind, he told me how I could not be hurt by the Winter Ghost. Boro smirked.

"What's the solution?" Qingxi asked anxiously.

"I won't tell you. Boro shook his head and waved to Song Zhi in the distance and shouted. "Hey, Song Zhi. ”

"Ahh It's you. How's it going, you've found the information you're looking for?" Song Zhi was a little frightened, and turned around to see that it was the two of them who secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I guess I found it. Nothing happened?" Boro saw his concern, but he wouldn't say anything to himself.

"Nope. Song Zhi grinned, "Do you still want to go shopping for a while?"

"No, we're leaving. Borro replied, "Now I have some clues about what I'm aiming for. Send Qingxi back to Sucheng, and I should do my own thing. ”

"Are you going to abandon me too, because I can't help you......" Qingxi looked at him with a depressed mood after listening to Boro's words. It turned out that he was just pitying himself.

Boro shook his head, "No, I don't know anything about what I'm going to do, and it may be dangerous later." It's not just you, I don't want to implicate anyone. It's my own business. ”

"I'm not afraid. Qingxi looked at Boro with teary eyes, "I don't want to ...... alone"

The citizens passing by threw reproachful glances at Boro, and such a cute little girl made her cry. It's so inhuman.

Not far away, there were many noisy people standing in front of the entrance and exit of the clearing, and they came to watch the big show with a playful mood. For some of them, women are nothing more than dispensable tools.

For them, it's all about getting the job that is easy and rewarding.

"Don't cry. "For Qingxi's tears, Boro has nothing to do. "Okay, don't cry, I won't leave you alone. ”

Hearing Boro's compromise, Qingxi snorted and raised her head to stare at him with wide eyes. "Really?"

"Really. "This is the second time Bourro has lied, but he has no other way.

"Since you're reconciled again, even if you want to leave, you have to inform my father. Song Zhi shook his head with a smile and said, "Otherwise, if he knows that you don't even say hello and just leave, I guess I will have to be reprimanded again."

"Of course, I want to say goodbye to my uncle, and I'm going to ask you to treat me to a full meal. ”

"This must be. Song Zhi walked in front to lead the way, and Qingxi followed closely by Boro in order to give himself some sense of security.

Looking at the girl beside him, Boro could only feel helpless in his heart, "Although I have promised her now, it is impossible for me to take Qingxi with me no matter what." As for Yan Zhu's affairs...... Find a chance to tell her. ”

Coming to an ordinary-sized house, Song Zhi pushed open the unlocked door with one hand, and a big yellow dog immediately barked and flew up.

"There haven't been thieves in the house lately. Song Zhi affectionately stroked the neck of the yellow dog and began to inquire about the situation in the yard in recent days.

"Wang" The yellow dog shouted twice and spun in place. It probably means that everything is normal.

When it saw Boro and Qingxi behind Song Zhi, the long tongue that poked out its long mouth suddenly retracted. Shouting at the two of them

Qingxi hurriedly hid behind Boro, and his fingers tightly picked up Boro's clothes, "It's so fierce." Just like you. ”

"It's not as fierce as me. ”

Song Zhi comforted the big yellow dog, "They are all my friends, not thieves." Remember to be polite. ”

The big yellow dog's gaze was firmly locked on Boro's body, because a dangerous aura could be felt from his body. This aura can threaten the safety of one's own master.

Song Zhi wasted a lot of energy before the big yellow dog finally calmed down, and said apologetically to Boro: "Ah Yan is usually not like this. I'm scared of you. ”

"Nope. Boro shook his head, "Almost every household in our village has a dog, and I'm used to it. However, Qingxi seems to be really scared. ”

Song Zhi smiled apologetically at Qingxi who was hiding behind Boro, and turned his head to look at the big yellow dog, "Go ahead, go and reflect on yourself." ”

I don't know if Ah Yan can really understand Song Zhi's words, his mood is a little low, and his tail that was originally swaying excitedly is weakly shrugged behind him, and he silently walked to the shadow of the corner with his head down and lay down.

looked at his master pitifully.

"It's pathetic. "After all, it's a girl, and when she sees the appearance of the big yellow dog, she can't help but start to sympathize with it. "Actually, I'm fine. ”

Song Zhi laughed, "Ah Yan was picked up by my father when he was a merchant, and I remember that he told me that he happened to meet the winter ghost on the day he picked up Ah Yan. The wagons and goods were swept away, and if it hadn't toppled the great creatures that had weighed down on my father, I probably wouldn't have been born. ”

"Well, he's still an old dog with a story. Boro smiled, after all, the average dog is only about twenty, but this one seems to be older than Song Zhi. But there is no sign of aging.

"Go into the room and sit down. I'm going to get some firewood, it's a cold evening. Song Zhi shivered as he spoke. Smiled and walked to the firewood room.

"Come in. I'm going to help him. His wounds haven't healed yet. Boro asked Qingxi to go into the house, and he went to the firewood room to help Song Zhi bring some wood.

"Are you and Song Bo the only ones in your family?" As the sun gradually slipped into the sky, the temperature in the air really became colder as Song Zhi said.

"My mother died when I was young. My father brought me up alone. ”

"I'm sorry. Boro didn't expect Song Zhi's childhood to be like this. Youkai blame yourself for being too talkative.

"I don't need to apologize, I'm used to it. Seriously, I've almost forgotten what my mother looks like now. Song Zhi shook his head and put the firewood into the stove one by one. Remove two flints from the furnace wall.

"You can help me fight, I'm ......," said Song Zhi and looked at his left shoulder.

"Willing to help. Boro took the flint from Song Zhi's hand and struck the two pieces together. It took a few fires to fall into the bottom of the firewood.

The weak flame grows until it ignites the entire fireplace.

Qingxi sat aside and looked at the flames in front of him, feeling that not only the cold in his body but also in his heart was dispelled together.
