The sound of the horn of Bi --!'s car made Charlotte look up, as if he had come to his senses, he opened his eyes suddenly, and the sea of city buildings in front of him was imprinted in his eyes.

“... This is... What's going on?" he looked at the pedestrians who were hurrying by, the crowded road was full of cars, and the background music of the aunt's square dance gradually came into his ears.

Bi --! Bi --!

Xia Luo still remembers very clearly that about ten minutes ago, he fought to the death with the people of Longdu Mansion in the forbidden land of Kongshang Mansion, and even sacrificed himself to open the 'Five Elements Reincarnation Reversal' to force the old man back.

"After that, I seem to remember—" he covered his stinging temples, trying to remember as much as he could what had happened, "I remember that I seemed to have been carried away by Kong Liehao...? It looks like you've crossed back again...?"

After turning on the 'reverse', Charlotte should not have any chance of surviving, the 'demon fire' will wreak havoc everywhere in his body, destroying every inch of his muscles, every internal organ, and the wound will not continue to crack and flow scarlet blood.

Bi --! Bi --! Bi --!

"That's right, wound!" Charlotte was shocked, she was still wearing the gray short-sleeved dress, and there were no scars on her body.

It's like going back in time before it all began.

Bi --! Bi --! Bi --! Bi --! Bi --!, "Damn, young man, you can't go!" a driver uncle shouted angrily at Charlotte.

Xia Luo turned his head to see that one or two cars next to him were honking continuously, and the driver's uncle leaned out of the window and shouted angrily at Xia Luo, as if he had been standing in the middle of the road in a daze for a long time.

"Ahh Excuse me. Charlotte immediately apologized and ran to the pedestrian path in a panic. The driver's uncle pointed his middle finger at Charlotte and drove away.

When Charlotte stood on the pavement, she came back to her senses and found a children's park in front of her. To be precise, it's a place for children to play outside the community, not even the smallest park.

Charlotte glanced at it and saw that among the children playing, there was a girl sitting in the corner crying alone, and her young figure looked extremely lonely. "She's—" Charlotte seemed to know the girl, but when he tried to call out the other person's name, the voice got stuck in his throat.

"She's... Who?" Charlotte frowned, realizing that she couldn't remember.

Perhaps out of curiosity, or out of kindness, he felt that he couldn't let go of the girl, and his steps unconsciously stepped out and into the park.

The sound of children's laughter and laughter echoed in their ears, and their happy smiling faces were as bright as flowers, but they had nothing to do with the girl who seemed to be isolated in front of them.

Charlotte walked up to the girl and looked at the girl who was crying with her hands over her eyes, and her strange and complicated feelings gradually rose from the bottom of her heart.

(I...) Do you know this girl?) Charlotte couldn't help but think in her heart, but unfortunately no matter how she recalled, her mind was blank, and she couldn't remember anything.

Half a moment later, Charlotte half-crouched down and whispered to the girl, "Do you need help? Or, if there is any difficulty, tell your brother, and he will help you." ”

The girl's hands rubbing her eyes paused, and with her head down, she blocked Charlotte's vision, unable to see any expression of the girl.

Then she looked up and lowered her hands.

In an instant, Charlotte's pupils instantly contracted.

I saw that the girl's face seemed to be burned through by the flames, forming a pitch-black bottomless garden hole, and the golden-red liquid slowly flowed down from the round hole, faintly shining like magma.

The wind blew slightly, the girl's skin collapsed like dust, bright red blood vessels covered her body, it was impossible to see whether it was muscles or internal organs moving back and forth, and the heart full of blood vessels in her chest was beating violently.

At this moment, the girl spoke, in her muddy, distorted voice.

"My mom... She..."

“... He's dead. ”

......

"Drink!" Charlotte sat up suddenly, gasping with all her strength, sweating profusely as if he had been experiencing a nightmare.

He wiped the beads of sweat from his face and rubbed his eyes, which were still hazy. Then Charlotte froze, and immediately looked down at his hands and his body, and was surprised to find that he looked like a mummy. From the ten fingers to the arms and shoulders, from the toes to the neck, except for the head, the bandages were impenetrable all over Charlotte's entire body.

Charlotte turned her wrist and carefully observed the pale white-blue bandage, which clung tightly to her skin, oozing a comforting coolness.

He looked at the bandage as if remembering something, and suddenly raised his head to look around, and was surprised to find that this room was the hut where he lived in Kongshang Mansion. The fierce sun shone on the table through the window, and the furniture around it was unchanged from before I went out, everything was as good as before, as if nothing had happened.

With a sigh, he seemed to have survived.

But how did they survive? I remember that no one else came to rescue them...

Just as Xia Luo wanted to get up and ask Kong Liehao what was going on, the wooden door was suddenly pushed open, and a chubby middle-aged woman walked in with her thick hands and a basin of water.

When she saw Charlotte sitting on the bed, she covered her open mouth in surprise, and the basin almost toppled over, but fortunately the woman was in good hands and grabbed the basin in a panic. She put the basin on the table and asked in a concerned tone, "Young Master, are you finally awake?"

"Aunt Li, I'm fine, you don't have to worry. ”

This chubby middle-aged woman, Aunt Li, is the maid who is responsible for taking care of Charlotte's daily life. There is a rule in the Confucian Mansion that the internal disciples can choose an attendant to take care of their own lives, and the disciples can bring in from outside the mansion, as long as they do not find any problems after a strict check, and they can also select trained maids from the mansion as maids.

As the first disciple of Confucius, Xia Luo is no exception, I still remember that when I was seven or eight years old, Xia Luo, who had not grown all her hair, suddenly had a heart attack and chose a girl who was not much different from her age as an attendant. But the girl broke sixty vases of flower pots, accidentally spilled the buckets more than thirty times, burned the food fifteen times, and almost burned Charlotte's 'Introduction to the Common Language' as well. The next day, Charlotte couldn't stand the girl and immediately 'fired' her.

Later, by chance, I met Aunt Li who was looking for a job in Yueshi Town, and I heard that she brought her daughter from the countryside, and the mother and daughter came to Yueshi Town alone to seek development. In order to educate her daughter, who is about the same age as Charlotte, Aunt Li works three points every day, but even so, her meager salary still can't cover the cost of her daughter's entrance test.

For this world, joining any of the provinces is a very luxurious thing, and the young tester must pay a high test fee, and then go through various talent tests, and finally have to go through a hellish trial period, and only after going through all the complicated tests can the tester decide whether the tester is qualified to become a disciple.

Although Aunt Li knew that the road ahead was so difficult, she still never gave up hope for her daughter, even if it was a 1 in 10,000 chance, she wanted her daughter to give it a try.

After learning the ins and outs of Aunt Li, Charlotte immediately decided to let her be her maid. A few days later, the neat clothes were placed next to Charlotte's bed on time, the delicious three meals appeared on the table on time, and the miscellaneous items of all sizes were handled by Aunt Li neatly and neatly.

Even later, the disciples of Confucius Mansion knew that Xia Luo had invited a middle-aged woman as a maid and laughed at Xia Luo for a whole year as a joke.

But Charlotte still felt that it was definitely worth it.

Later, her daughter was recommended by Charlotte to enter the Confucian Mansion as an official disciple.

"But young master, you have been in a coma for a whole day, and yesterday you scared the old lady to death..."

It's like a textbook typical aunt.

If the only flaw of this woman is that she talks endlessly, she can't stop talking.

Charlotte sighed, "I'm really fine. By the way, who was I carried back yesterday?And Kong Liehao?" In order to prevent her from continuing, Charlotte had to change the subject.

Aunt Li stopped her machine-gun-like words, but the worried look still hung on her face, and she said, "The old lady doesn't know very well, it was Confucius and his grandson who carried you into the house yesterday. When they brought you back, young master, you were already like this..."Aunt Li pointed to the bandage on Xia Luo's body. After that, they told the old lady that I would take good care of you, young master, and the two left in a hurry. ”

I see, it seems that Confucius came back in time and pulled Xia Luo back from under the Grim Reaper, and the bandages on this body are probably Confucius's masterpieces. But what kind of method did the Master use to revive Charlotte?

(Now it seems that I have to keep this question in my heart first, and then ask the Master before I find it.) ）

Of course, there is also the aftermath.

At this time, the wooden door was pushed open again, and a young maid rushed in in a hurry, and said in a panic: "Aunt Li, something is wrong! Ah, young master, are you awake?" the maid suddenly found that Xia Luo had already woken up, and she panicked a little more.

"Ouch Song Yafu, I told you a long time ago, when you encounter a big event, you must first be cold..."

"Okay, okay, Aunt Li. Let's let her finish. Xia Luo saw Aunt Li set up the machine gun again, and immediately interrupted.

"Elders, they... They are questioning Confucius in the martial arts arena..."

“... Ask the Master why..."

"Why did you still leave you as a murderer in Kongshang Mansion..."
