Cheng Jiao and his parents also moved slowly through the crowd.

For a while, none of the three spoke, just walking silently in the rain. Cheng Jiao wanted to comfort his father, but he didn't know how to speak. When she saw her mother holding her father's hand, she also took two steps, grabbed her father's other hand, and shook it hard. Dad turned to look at her, and she whispered, "Daddy, and us." Dad smiled reassuringly and put his arms around her and Mom's shoulders.

The three of them branched off at the entrance of the monastery, and the father led the horse after going to the monastery, while Cheng Jiao's horse was tied to the road when she came, and they had to go home separately.

Before leaving, she asked her mother, "Mom, has there ever been a fire in the place where we used to live?" ”

She thought that her mother would have to think about it before answering, but she didn't expect the Golden Leaf Witch to immediately nod and say, "Yes!" ”

"It's in Goldfish Lane, isn't it?" In the distance, Cheng Jiao saw that his father had come over with two horses.

"Nope." The Golden Leaf Shrine Maiden denied, "It's in Empty Mulberry City." The old alley where my grandfather's house lived was on fire, and our house was at the mouth of the alley, so it was fine. ”

"Mom, are you sure? Is it in the city of Kongsang on the Isle of War? ”

"Yes, because the oracle came the next day that I had been chosen as the maiden of the Sun God Island Hot Spring Temple, so I remember it very well. Why, did Grandpa mention it? Mom asked, squinting at her. There were tiny raindrops on her veil.

Cheng Jiao hurriedly nodded and pointed in the direction where his father came.

Her mother told her to go home quickly, "You're going to Jinwuyuan tomorrow, don't come back late." ”

Cheng Jiao said yes and turned around and walked towards the mountain.

God of War Island Sky Mulberry City! The eve of Mom's being chosen as a shrine maiden! No wonder Cheng Jiao didn't know that alley, she was only a month-old baby at that time!

She's sick of these strange memories that come back from time to time! The strange things that happened in her childhood never let her go! In a moment, she will have to face another past that she doesn't want to remember.

Thinking of this, Cheng Jiao couldn't help but feel down. She tightened her legs and urged Chiji to run, and the horse spread its hooves and galloped in the rain.

Back at her home on Divine Bless Avenue, she arrived before her parents. The green silk coat on her body soaked up the rain and clung to her skin, which was extremely uncomfortable, as if the bones of a person were soaked in cold water.

She handed Chiji to the servant boy, walked through the courtyard, and rushed into her room. Kicked off his shoes, didn't have time to change his clothes, and ran barefoot to the head of the bed.

Twelve-drawer bedside table, the one against the wall in the lower right corner, opens. In a pile of shells, beautiful stones, small hand-sharpened arrowheads, rusty triangles, a small tin box lies silently. Cheng Jiao grabbed it and shook it impatiently, and the small box made an irregular "lattice" sound.

Cheng Jiao's heart finally fell after hanging for a day, "I remember correctly, it's really here." ”

Inside the box are two teeth, one large and one small.

The slightly yellowed one is the innermost tooth in the lower jaw, which is grandma's. On the morning of her last departure, she secretly gave her this tooth in order to appease her little granddaughter, who was crying and making trouble and would not let her leave. Tell her that this is a secret gift for only one person and can't tell grandpa or he will be sad.

The little Chengjiao was holding it tightly at that time.

The white and small one is the front tooth in the middle of the upper jaw, which is the one of the Chengjiao. On that summer afternoon ten years ago, in the woods next to the Cherry Tree Temple on Yakujin Island, Cheng Jiao and Sha Luo Hunter, who had run away from home, had been hiding there all morning. The two of them felt that they had done everything they could, and no one had found them yet. When she was bored, Agari said that her four front teeth were changing, and she now had two open teeth and two permanent teeth that were half out.

"This is it, look!" Hunting's fingers pressed against the gap in the gums, "It's wobbly loose, it's annoying to me!" I just pressed it in! Hey~~ It's easy. She said with a smug smile. Why haven't you changed your teeth yet? You wouldn't be weird, would you? ”

Ah Hunt is Cheng Jiao's good friend who doesn't talk about anything, and he is the only person she can trust. She told Akari in distress that she didn't have a loose tooth yet. Agari put his finger in her mouth and groped around as a passer-by, and found that his teeth were indeed firmly in his rightful place.

As a result of the discussion, Cheng Jiao leaned against the tree and opened her mouth, and Ah Hunt held her head down and knocked out one of her front teeth in her upper jaw with a stone.

When the blood gushed out, Ah Hunt panicked, tore off the placket of his clothes and pressed Cheng Jiao's mouth. Cheng Jiao's face was painful, but she excitedly licked the hole in the gum with the tip of her tongue, looking at the teeth in her hand and secretly happy. She decided to go back and give her teeth to her mom and tell her she was changing her teeth.

As a result, when Uncle Long Ran found them at night, Cheng Jiao's lost teeth had already grown, and like other teeth, he stayed firmly in his rightful position. It's as if nothing had happened.

It's another upsetting childhood experience. Cheng Jiao angrily buckled the lid of the box.

Fortunately, I will be able to meet Ah Hunt tomorrow, they haven't seen each other for two years, and Cheng Jiao has accumulated a lot of things to say to her.

Before that, she had to send the two teeth to her grandfather.

She stared at the tin box in her hand. On the lid of the box is an eye carved in a rough carving, and there are many straight lines around the eye, representing the light, which is the eye of the gods.

Grandpa will leave Wanji Temple with everyone at midnight today, and board a ship at the port to Reijin Island. They were many and on foot, and when they arrived at the beach, the sun should have risen, and it was impossible for Cheng Jiao to hand over the box to his grandfather in full view.

At night, the trail of Myofa Mountain is her only chance.

She decided to set off secretly tonight after everyone went to sleep.
