After school on Friday, there were no club activities, and it was still early. Mo Ming went home alone, and when he was walking on the road, he happened to meet Minister Qiu Yanzi. She seemed to be alone, not knowing what was waiting for her.

Mo Ming walked over very normally, and when he arrived in front of her, he said "yo".

"Ah, classmate Mo Ming, did you also go home alone?"

Qiu Hinako reacted quickly, as if someone had arrived just when she was waiting for someone.

Her excitement made Mo Ming a little confused, who was she obviously waiting for, right?

"Uh...... It's always been ......."

Mo Ming answered with some uneasiness.

"Well, let's go home together, right?"

Qiu Yanzi invited Mo Ming home very unnaturally, this unnaturalness refers to the fact that this kind of invitation makes Mo Ming feel strange in this situation.

"That...... You look like you're waiting for someone, right?"

"That...... Yes just now, but not now."

"What's going on with this uncertain tone......

"Uh...... In other words, I was waiting for someone just now, but I was already waiting for someone, so I don't have to wait for someone."

Mo Ming was a little surprised, feeling embarrassed, didn't this mean "Am I waiting for you?" , but Mo Ming's embarrassment quickly calmed down, he was not a narcissistic person, so he quickly figured out the situation.

"So you're not waiting for someone, it's a person."

Feeling embarrassed to be exposed, Qiu Yanzi's eyes wandered, and then his tone became sluggish.

"Yes......"

"Is it okay as long as it's human? Mo Ming is very hurt." This is Mo Ming's mental activity.

"That...... Aren't you comfortable going home alone?"

Mo Ming thought for a while before he came to this conclusion.

"It's not like that, it's just that I suddenly feel like I want to talk, so I'm going to wait a minute, and wait for any lonely acquaintances."

"So I'm the lone lamb and you got caught, right?"

Mo Ming smiled bitterly, this guy is really familiar, oh no, he should be good at intersection, as long as he is an acquaintance, he will say the kind of "Let's go home together!" , only Mo Ming is autistic.

"No, no...... No, not everyone will catch it, it's the kind of friends who can talk to ......."

Qiu Yanzi tried his best to defend himself, but Mo Ming was a little surprised, and he didn't dare to look at Qiu Yanzi's clear eyes, he could talk......

"Well, let's go."

Mo Ming shook the schoolbag with both hands, neatly carried it on his shoulders, took a step, and walked forward. Qiu Hinako followed closely behind him, keeping a distance of one step, on the new street under the sunset, the cars coming and going did not honk, only a short whistling, the limit of the hustle and bustle of this rural place, but it was a rare tranquility of urbanites.

"By the way, what do you want to say, Minister?"

What is that kind of thing that even at the school gate is aimlessly waiting for someone to talk to? In Yaku's words, "What the hell is this?" Mo Ming was very interested.

"Actually, I suddenly thought of the castle."

Qiu Yanzi said something ingenious, which made Mo Ming even more interested, having lived in Qingchuan Town for so many years, except for An Xiaofei's words that could make Mo Ming feel sudden, it was Qiu Yanzi.

"What castle?"

Mo Ming didn't ask why he thought of this, there was no reason for the idea of being born out of nowhere, maybe it was just a sudden gust of wind that looked like a castle.

"That kind of castle, it's a castle that you can't see in a city."

That's a very general description.

"I don't see ...... in the countryside."

"Huh? Can't you see it in the countryside?"

Qiu Yanzi seemed to have her outlook on life refreshed, and she couldn't believe it, what kind of magical place did she think the countryside was.

"Well, there should be more walls in East Asia, boxy city walls, that kind of round and towering castle is really rare."

"Huh? Do you have to go abroad to see it?"

Qiu Yanzi stopped and stared at Mo Ming very seriously, like a city student who was taking a natural science class for the first time and was curious about frogs and tadpoles.

"I thought the kids in the city were the kind of people who had a lot of common sense......

Mo Ming felt that it was a little tricky, when did he have to start talking about this to make Qiu Yanzi feel satisfied? After thinking about it, I still answered honestly.

"There are some in China, but they were all built in modern times, so it can be regarded as a hobby of the rich."

"Then why ......?"

"Stop."

Mo Ming hurriedly ended the topic, because he felt that this might talk about the origin of Gothic architecture, and it could no longer be talked about by Qiu Yanzi's interest. But why did Mo Ming dare to interrupt Qiu Yanzi's question like this, because he had a topic that was enough to divert her attention.

"But, I want to know."

"Don't worry, there really is a castle in Qingchuan Town."

Mo Ming slowed down his tone, and then accented on the word Qingchuan, Qiu Yanzi was obviously attracted.

"Huh? Is there such a thing?"

"Of course there is, but others don't know."

"Others don't know, but Mo Ming knows. If the castle is rare, it must be very famous, so why is only Mo Ming knowing......

Qiu Yanzi began to think, which made Mo Ming a little flustered, this guy is just a curious baby if he doesn't use his brain, if he uses his brain, he must not be shocked.

Suddenly, stopped, Mo Ming choked up a little nervously, and Qiu Yanzi slapped his right fist with his left hand, making a crisp sound of "pop".

"What's wrong......

"I see!"

Qiu Xiao pointed at Mo Ming and smiled, Mo Ming was a little scared, and he was finally coming.

"This castle is ......"

"The castle is ......"

Mo Ming repeated her words.

"Yes......"

"Yes......"

"It's Mo Ming, you came up with it!"

"......" is really this kind of conclusion, and it really lives up to Mo Ming's expectations.

"This can't be done, I can't get into the delusional things."

Qiu Yanzi shook his finger in denial, and Mo Ming waved his hand helplessly.

"Don't think of me as a paranoid."

"Is there really a castle?"

"If you don't believe me, then you can't help it, so let's go home."

Mo Ming pretended to move forward, "I want to catch the old and conspire", which comes from classmate Yan Xi.

"Wait......

Qiu Yanzi grabbed Mo Ming's hand, and then dragged Mo Ming to prevent him from moving forward.

"You don't even believe me."

Mo Ming ignored it, and went on, the upgraded version of wanting to capture the old indulgence came from Mo Ming's adaptation.

"No! I'm wrong, take me to the castle."

began to cry and beg Mo Ming, how did this feel a little ...... Where's the little nausea...... Mo Ming was full of excitement, then stopped, and turned to look at Qiu Yanzi.

"Okay, I'll take you, but be prepared."

Mo Ming warned Qiu Jinzi in a terrifying tone.

"How ......?"

Qiu Hinako was just a little puzzled and was not frightened.

"Because...... The last time I went, I was the only one who came back!"

"Yikes!"

slowed down his tone, and then emphasized the last three words, the terrifying atmosphere was vividly interpreted, and Qiu Yanzi was frightened by this sudden terrifying aura and cried out.

The body trembled, it seemed that he was in shock, Mo Ming just wanted to apologize for his joke, Qiu Yanzi spoke tremblingly first.

"Only...... Only came back...... A ...... alone This...... Why is that?"

「……」

was scared like this and was still curious, Mo Ming really admired her.

Mo Ming turned around and walked forward, leaving the next sentence lightly.

"Because I'm the only one who goes."

Qiu Yanzi followed stupidly, and let out an "oh" sound, and suddenly realized.

How serious this guy is.

Mo Ming walked forward with Qiu Yanzi, and when he came to the crossroads, he did not turn to the right as usual and go to his home in Laojie, but walked straight forward.

"Mo Ming, is that the direction of my house?"

Qiu Yanzi was puzzled, how could he not know that there was a castle in Quanshui Village?

"It's not far away, bear with me a little."

"Mo Ming, I can't bear it!"

"That's?"

"I just can't hold back the urge to know."

"Isn't it just that I can't help but put it another way......

"Not ......"

"Here we are."

"Have you arrived?"

Mo Ming and Qiu Yanzi walked straight on Xinjie, and then walked on the cement road leading to Quanshui Village, and stopped at a crossroads between a cement road and a mud road.

"Walk a kilometer down the concrete road to Quanshui Village."

Qiu was even more confused.

"Well, go down the dirt path on the left, and you'll be there."

To the left of Mo Ming's finger is a two-meter-narrow dirt road with a few small pebbles on it, lined with camphor trees that stretch to the end of the field of vision, and the reason why this place is divided into obvious intersections is because this place is blocked by a long small dirt slope, and the only non-arable area in Qingshui Town is here.

"That place......

Qiu Hinako hesitated a little, she had not been to many places in Qingchuan Town for a short time, and although she often passed through this intersection, she never thought of going in the left direction.

"Yes."

Mo Ming nodded.

"Will there be a castle over there?"

"Still asking questions like that."

"Okay, don't ask, let's go! Let's go!"

Qiu Yanzi strode forward, the corners of Mo Ming's mouth raised slightly, and then he also walked behind.

The road was very long, and the two walked for more than twenty minutes to reach the end, and at the end was a twenty-meter-high dirt slope, blocking the two of them.

"Alas! Where's the castle?"

Qiu Yanzi stood on his heels and looked around, Mo Ming felt that this action was particularly witty, if he wanted to see far, he had to stand tall.

"In the back."

Mo Ming pointed to the dirt slope seriously, Qiu Yanzi suddenly became serious, indeed this dirt slope blocked the field of vision, according to Schrödinger's cat principle, he didn't open the carton, he didn't know if the cat inside was still alive. It's an inappropriate metaphor, but if you don't see the back of the dirt slope, everything is possible! Even if you tell me that there is an Atlantean civilization behind it, I believe it!

Qiu Hinako was full of excitement, walking around the edge of the dirt slope, Mo Ming followed behind her, moving step by step, finally, the back of the earth slope was revealed, Qiu Hinako's eyes began to shine, and her mouth slowly opened with some excitement, pointing to the back of the hillside.

"Is that the castle? It's amazing! Mo Ming, look! Look!"

Mo Ming's expression was rigid, and a sense of guilt struck, originally he just wanted to make a fool of her, but he didn't expect to take it so seriously.

So far, how can I say it, it's an ancestral hall......
