"So, we used to know each other?"

"Of course...... Do you remember a world with a lot of mirrors? There was a labyrinth of big mirrors, and you showed me the way and how to get out of that labyrinth. ”

"Huh, am I that good? but...... I hate mirrors the most. ”

"Don't you have a little mirror in your hand?"

"It's a gift! It's not a mirror!" Zhu Si angrily hid his small mirror, paused for a moment, and then spoke again: "Since you are gone, why are you coming back?"

"Because you've had a great meal for me, I'm going to invite you back. ”

"What did I ask for?" the little witch had an interested look on her face, "What's there?"

"There's chicken heads, there's greens, there's rice...... It's the feast in the album in your arms. ”

"This album is originally food! I said, it smells fragrant......"

“...... Don't you know what's in this album?"

"It's been empty for a long time. ”

"Then why do you keep holding it?"

"Forgot ...... Maybe it's a habit. ”

The young scholar sat shoulder to shoulder with the little witch on the trunk of an old oak tree.

Zheng Qing looked up and looked at the colorful night above his head that penetrated through the gaps in the leaves. The little witch lowered her head and teased a little mouse in a wizard's robe in her palm.

In front of the two of them was a large linen cloth with purple-red checkered stripes, but in the dim night, the patterns on it looked blurry and heavy, like eyes that were scrutinizing.

The linen cloth was full of all kinds of things.

The sugar man and sugar cat of Shuangtang Ji are playing in the delicate glass box; the latest fruit puffs of Meow Meow Dessert exude a sweet smell, which attracts the sound of squirming on the chest from time to time in the depths of the forest; the classic hairpin and head rope of the herdsman, even after decades and a world, can still win the love of the little witch; and the Pandora's box sold in the Apple Pavilion, neatly arranged, before opening the box, even Zheng Qing, as a buyer, does not know what strange things can be opened.

For example, just now, the little witch opened a little mouse in a wizard's robe from the box, wearing an old-fashioned pointed wizard's hat on its head, and wielding a matchstick wand in its hand, running around on the purple linen blanket, waving her wand from time to time, and a string of golden sparks came out of the tip of the wand.

The little witch had a lot of fun with it.

Correspondingly, her vigilance against Zheng Qing has also decreased a lot, and she is willing to talk to him a lot.

The long small talk made Zheng Qing realize that as long as he didn't mention how Zhu Si arrived in this world, and didn't ask about some topics involving the essence, the little witch was still the little witch.

Alert, intelligent, and immature sophistication.

What can break people's hearts the most is not fear or sorrow, but a sense of helplessness that makes people helpless. As long as you have a basis? Even in the abyss? It doesn't make people despair.

What's more, the two of them are not in the abyss at the moment, but in a quiet oak forest.

Thinking of the Oak Grove? Zheng Qing recalled the foothold he had just fallen into this world—he had enough reason to suspect that the two of them were now in the depths of the Enchanted Forest—and this suspicion was when he saw a sneaky brown figure behind a few old oak trees nearby? and the sound of slapping from the shadows, it became an affirmation.

Zheng Qing had ever seen Nikita's 'army' in the 'True Vision' provided by Grand Elder Attar? In addition to the terrible giants and the hideous birds, there was also a large group of creature with smooth fur and small mouse-like shapes.

"We can't stay here for too long?" A young public scholarship student took a look at the deep forest? Struggling, trying to get up: "It's too dangerous here. ”

The after-effects of the use of the Blood Talisman had not yet completely subsided, and the wizard felt as if he had been pricked in the head by a needle after a little bit of mana. He covers his head? A muffled snort? Sit back under the oak.

"Don't be afraid, the ancestors look fierce, but they are actually very timid. Compared to him, Zhu Si was much calmer, and she put the little mouse in her palm on her shoulder? Stretched out his arm and patted Zheng Qing's arm? "They never dare to attack anything taller than them," he comforted. And they are most afraid of cats......"

As she spoke, she peeked at the black cat tail behind Zheng Qing? Nodding with satisfaction: "...... We have both of them. ”

Zheng Qing has the heart to defend that he is not a cat.

But after two weak wagging of the tail behind him, he finally gave up arguing.

"Not Zuge?" Young government-funded students wave their hands? Showing that he was not afraid of the brown mice: "It's something more dangerous." They can be found in the woods at any time...... These ancestors must be their eyeliner. ”

"But?" The little witch bit her lip and twisted her fingers together unconsciously: "I'm going to find my father and mother here...... They must have been waiting for me somewhere. ”

Zheng Qing opened her mouth and told her that this was just a world sandwiched between fantasy and reality, and that there could be no parents for her, and even if there were, it was just an illusion.

But he couldn't say it.

Not only because after saying it, the little witch may fall back into a state of chaos, but also because this simple and persistent belief may be the only reason why she is still awake.

Say it and it will kill her.

"Your mom and dad are outside, not in this woods. Zheng Qing hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to deceive, he looked into Zhu Si's eyes, and said seriously: "There are only oaks, mushrooms, and ancestors in this forest, and there are no wizards...... You're a wizard, your mom and dad are wizards, and so am I. ”

The persuasiveness of identity, the exquisite sugar man, the sweet puffs, and the wand-wielding mouse doll that frolicked finally made Jusi change his mind.

"You say, you know where they are," she said, looking at the boy with sparkling eyes, "I believe you." I'll go with you. But if you can't find them, I'll be back. ”

Zheng Qing nodded vigorously.

"Shall we leave now, then?"

“...... Take a little rest, I need to take a few potions. ”

"Why are you taking medicine?"

"Because I overused my magic before. ”

"Oh, I know, it's hard to overuse mana...... I've had times before when I felt like my whole body was hollowed out. Later, a red-eyed big sister gave me a drink of the delicious brewed by my ancestors, and I came back to life. ”

“...... The next time you see that red-eyed big sister, you must stay away. She's not a good person. ”

Zhu Si nodded, but shook his head again: "Red eyes are really bad, I also remember to dodge...... But that big sister is very nice, she told me that as long as you can survive and find your parents, it doesn't matter what color your eyes are. ”
