In a small restaurant,

Xue Song sat on the spot, opposite a middle-aged couple,

"My daughter's situation... Is it? ”

They were looking at Xue Song suspiciously, and after they finished greeting the guests, they saw this strangely dressed man come to the restaurant to inquire about their daughter's condition.

"She's really not feeling well lately, but it's nothing, the reason is clear, her doctor and insect master can't cure it." As he spoke, a helpless expression appeared on the middle-aged man's face.

"The man she liked didn't come to see him anymore. So she became depressed and even collapsed, which is an old problem. But this time it dragged on for a long time. The wife added on the side.

"But she's not just sick." Xue Song looked at the husband and wife who seemed to be a little accustomed to their daughter's condition, and reminded.

"What do you say?"

The husband and wife showed shocked expressions when they heard Xue Song's words, Zhencheng has a jumpy temperament, likes to pester handsome men, and after being rejected, they will lie motionless at home like an eggplant, and after a while, they will figure it out, and then the old way will sprout.

This made the husband and wife very helpless.

"Can you come with a basin of water?"

Looking at the husband and wife, Xue Song asked them to fetch a basin of water and then called his daughter over,

"You take care of yourself with water."

Looking at the girl's dejected appearance, Xue Song said, the girl's face was a little pale.

Masumi shone into the basin of water as she said, and then she was frightened, and the water did not reflect her appearance.

"Huh?"

The onlookers also widened their eyes and made a noise when they saw this scene.

"Her reflection was taken." Xue Song opened the suitcase and took out the scroll about worms.

After he subdued Zhao Leizi, he chatted with Ali about his future plans and left.

It is early summer now, he is ready to go back to Yinyang Mountain, calculate the time when he returns all the way back to Yinyang Mountain, the Yuhe rice should be about to ripen, he has to go back to take care of it, and by the way, he will also plant the Longri potato.

He was going to take a boat back to the vicinity of Higashino Kuni, but when he was going to the sea on the way to the sea, he met a girl in the mountains and forests, and he was about to find a water source to wash and pick wild fruits on the way, when he heard the sound of rushing water, and walked in the direction from which the sound came.

As a result, he did not find a water source, but found a girl walking slowly on the mountain path with her head down, and behind her a figure composed of flowing water stood up and followed her, making a loud sound of running water, leaving a puddle of water stains on the road.

So he came to this little restaurant.

Hearing Xue Song say that his daughter's reflection was taken away, the husband and wife also felt very surprised, although they had also been in contact with the insect master, but they only knew a little about insects.

"There is a kind of insect called 'water mirror' that usually lives in a calm pond, and they are originally mercury-like creatures, but when the appearance of an animal is reflected on the surface of the water, they will take the form of that animal and come to the land, and follow the reflection itself."

Xue Song looked at the scroll and said to the husband and wife.

"Then, the ontology will gradually weaken, and the weaker the ontology will become, the more solid the water mirror will become, and the relative ontology will become illusory.

"Eventually, the water mirror will replace the body! This process takes about 21 days. ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged couple glanced at each other, looked at their daughter sitting on the side, and showed a worried look on their faces, wanting to say something to Xue Song.

"The water mirror needs minerals in the water, and when it has an entity, it will look around for water with a higher concentration, and with the original posture of the water mirror, it can't move autonomously, so it wants a body that can move freely."

Xue Song took a sip of spiritual wine and observed Zhencheng for a while, but he didn't see the figure of the water mirror, he should be hiding in a nearby water source.

"That's a problem, can you think of a way?" The middle-aged man frowned, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, Zhencheng has been in this state for a long time since she was rejected by the man she likes, and I don't know when she came into contact with the worm!

"At the moment when the water mirror wants to replace the body, anyone can see it, and as long as the body is mirrored at it, the mimicry of the water mirror will collapse and the body will return to its original state." Xue Song replied that as long as he doesn't run around and likes to die, the water mirror is not a particularly difficult insect infestation for humans to deal with.

"What, isn't that easy?" Only then did the husband and wife put their hearts at ease and a smile appeared on their faces.

"Machuni, you have a hand mirror, where do you put it?" The father looked at Masumi and said that it was a gift he gave to his daughter, and he remembered that his daughter was quite precious to that mirror.

Masumi took out a small mirror from his bosom, but the mirror was blurred and could no longer reflect the human figure.

"What, isn't this all vague?" The middle-aged man reached out and took it, "I'll help you wipe it for me..."

"Don't take it, it's a very important mirror, I'll wipe it myself..."

Suddenly, the girl retracted her hand and held the mirror in her arms, interrupting her father's movements.

...

"I'm sorry, if the mirror is blurry again, you can wipe it yourself."

At night, Masumi stroked the blurry mirror with a depressed expression, and her ears seemed to ring again what the man had said to her that day.

Hearing the sound of flowing water, Masumi turned his head and saw a drainage mark in the room, and was silent.

She didn't feel too scared, and since she was rejected that day to express her heart to Ah Kin, she always felt that she was worse than dead.

Ah Jian is a craftsman who specializes in cleaning people's mirrors, and often comes to work in this area, tall and handsome, and the two become acquainted with each other as soon as they come and go.

The two also agreed on a code, whenever Ah Jian came to work nearby, he would use the mirror reflection on the mountain to make a signal, and after seeing it, Zhencheng would look for him at the place agreed by the two, and ask him to help clean up the mirror by the way.

And whenever the mirror is blurry, it is also when Masumi is the happiest, she will wait at the door with anticipation, waiting for Ah Jian to send him a signal, and when Ah Ken helps her clean the mirror, the two can talk for a longer time.

On this day, Masumi sat at the door as usual and played with the mirror, and when he saw the flashing light on the opposite mountain, he immediately stood up, said a word to his mother and rushed to the mountain.

Running happily on the path up the mountain, she suddenly remembered something, came to the edge of a small pond, sorted out her image on the lake, and when she saw Ah Jian, who was standing in the agreed place and beckoned to her, she rushed over and hugged him.

After the two of them came to a large white rock and sat down, Ah Jian took out his tools to help Zhen clarify the mirror.

"It's blurry again." Ken looked at Mazumi's hand mirror, put the tool aside, picked up a small brush and dipped it in some abrasive.

"I wanted you to wipe it, so I didn't wipe it myself." Masumi sneered at Ah Jian.

"Hum huh..." the sound of small brushes rubbing sounded, and Masumi looked at the man who was working hard and was stunned.

"I'll tell you, Matsumi."

"Well, here it is."

"Recently, there has been a lot less work to wipe the mirrors in this area, and I'm going to do it in a different place."

"Huh? How so, and when will we meet next time? Masumi raised her head in some panic and asked loudly.

"I don't know, I can't say when I'll come back, I don't want to do this, but I want to make a living..."

"I don't want this!" Matsumi retorted, what should she do if Ah Jian didn't come in the future?

"Then, then I will wait for you in your village, and I will marry you...".

Zhencheng's confession also made Ah Jian a little embarrassed, he had no plans to get married, and he didn't like Zhencheng, who was very naughty, he wanted to find a more mature and well-behaved one.

Ah Jian scratched his head, but still made his thoughts clear to Mazumi.
