At the end of the rice paddies is a long stretch of mountains.

Halfway up the mountain, a looming house hides in the bushes.

When I came to the mountainside, I stepped into the house and Yan Qi seemed to have come to a fairyland on earth.

The houses built on the mountainside walk into the courtyard and look down to see a golden wave.

The majestic waterfall next to it, and the unknown flowers falling from the top of the mountain are dancing like a play saucer.

"Got a guest?".

A gentle and steady voice came from inside the room.

After a while, the door of the house was opened, and a girl, Shi Shiran, walked out of the house.

The girl wore glasses, her hair was braided, her dress was dyed in various colors, and her hands were also colorful.

Seeing Yan Qi and them, she smiled softly and complained to the man standing opposite.

"Brother, why didn't you notify me in advance when you brought someone? I didn't even prepare for it. ”

"I'm sorry to make you laugh."

The girl turned her head to Yan Qi and smiled politely.

"Come in, the sun is so poisonous outside."

The girl warmly entertained Yan Qi and them.

The man followed him into the house, but the woman stopped him.

"Where's my cat? Didn't go looking for it. ”

The girl looked at the man with some annoyance.

Only then did the man remember his mission to go out......

"Cat...... The cat was ......"

The man then remembered that his cat seemed to have been left behind by himself in the golden color at the foot of the mountain......

"Wait for me! I'm going to get it back for you right now. ”

The smile on the girl's face faded.

Lost wave of hands.

"Forget it, I shouldn't have expected anything from you, how did I forget?"

The girl stumbled into the house.

————*————*————*

"I'm sorry, let's have a cup of tea."

Sitting in the living room, Yan Qi looked restlessly.

The large living room has bay windows on all sides.

There are all kinds of paintings hanging on the walls.

There is also an easel and some paints for painting in the open space.

Yan Qi took the tea and sniffed it carefully.

The fragrance of wheat is rich, and it tastes a little astringent, but it is especially thirst-quenching.

"Delicious! Yan Qi still wants it! ”

As soon as Yan Qi handed the teacup out, Meng Ji gave her the cup in his hand, and then took her empty cup to refill it.

Seeing Yan Qi's satisfied appearance, the girl looked at the two of them enviously and was silent.

"Hey! By the way, what about that guy just now? Why didn't he come in? ”

Yan Qi asked the man who didn't come in after he was full.

The girl only then realized that the man did not come in.

She sighed and said helplessly, "Maybe I'm going to find the cat." ”

The girl talked about her cat, and then looked at Yan Qi and the two of them with envy.

"Seriously, I really envy the two of you, you can be so good together."

The girl looked at Meng Ji's gentleness and delicacy towards Yan Qi and couldn't help but say, "That's like me, it's always forgotten." ”

Speaking of which, this dirty little briquette didn't know where it came from.

As soon as it entered, it barked pitifully at the girl.

Then pounced on the girl.

"Meow~"

The weak cry seemed to have been greatly wronged.

The girl picked up the little briquette and touched it, and then the golden tooth shouted, "Big orange! It's so good, I thought you wouldn't be back. ”

The girl hugged the lost orange and said happily.

Yan Qi finished drinking the tea and then observed the small briquette.

Feeling that it looked strange, he stood up and walked over to the girl and poked the little briquette.

"Why is it so hard? Are these all of us? ”

Looking at those things that would fall off after a few pokes, Yan Qi looked at his fingers and looked at the girl suspiciously.

When the orange cat senses the presence of a third person who does not belong to its owner, it overheads its eyes.

After seeing Yan Qi's face, he immediately screamed angrily.

"Meow~嗷~"

Meng Ji waited for a glance at the orange cat, and it immediately settled down, curling up on its master as if frightened.

However, as soon as Meng Ji's eyes turned, the big orange cat began to bully Yan Qi, as soon as Yan Qi pulled Meng Ji, Meng Ji looked at Da Tang, and Da Tang immediately pretended to sleep.

The girl thought it was a little strange, but she didn't know where to start.

She carefully stood up with the cat in her arms and said, "It's not too early, I'll go and make you something to eat." ”

After speaking, the girl turned around and left, leaving only a big orange cat, Yan Qi and Meng Ji here.

By this time, the twilight had already stained the clouds.

The house was dim, and the summer cicadas outside the bay window were still singing death songs.

A cat and a person have a match, and there is no match and they compete with each other.

The girl who said she was going to cook for them didn't come back for a long time.

Yan Qi, who was hungry, stood up and began to wander around the living room.

"It's all at this time, why haven't you cooked yet? Yan Qi was dying of hunger. ”

Yan Qi walked to the wall next to the living room and looked at the vivid pictures, which were inexplicably weird.

As the last bit of light fell.

The paintings in front of me became distorted one by one.

Not only that, but the corners of their mouths curved and upturned seemed to have liquid flowing out.

Yan Qi dragged Meng Ji beside him and pointed at the liquid.

"Look, what are these? It looks like it's still moving. ”

Yan Qi said that he was going to touch it.

Meng Ji took Yan Qi's hand.

"Don't bang, these things are poisonous and can't be touched."

Afraid that something would happen to Yan Qi, Meng Ji grabbed the orange cat beside him who was eyeing them and threw it over.

The orange cat was less than a finger or four fingers away from the wall, and suddenly turned into a behemoth, spitting out a fire that nearly burned the whole house.

The light came for a short time, which also made Yan Qi see clearly what was hanging on the wall.

It was like a liquid, and it was clattering as it was burned by the fire.

And they have eyes, wide in the midst of the raging fire.

Suddenly, the whole room was filled with such frightened big eyes, and they all looked at Yan Qi and Meng Ji without exception.

In order to prevent Yan Qi from seeing things that should not be seen, Meng Ji tore off a strip of cloth on his clothes and blocked Yan Qi's eyes.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Yan Qi held Meng Ji's hand stiffly, and the unbearable sound was deafening.

Meng Ji drew a talisman on his hand, and then silently recited a few words.

"People and gods are gone, and heaven and earth are one."

In Meng Ji's voice, Yan Qi seemed to feel that someone gently patted him on the shoulder.

She turned around with her feelings, and the girl who was holding a drawing board in one hand and food in the other hooked her fingers at Yan Qi.

"Come here, come here, I've got your favorite food ready for you."

The girl smiled gently, and Yan Qi couldn't help but want to follow her......
