Akiri stood up from the water's edge, her eyes had adjusted to the darkness around her, she looked up and saw a notice posted at the mouth of the alley, she took two steps forward, took out the lighter: "click" lit.

Obviously she didn't see this notice in the afternoon, besides, her brows tightened, Where is this wall full of climbing plants?

Holding back the uneasiness in her heart, she looked at the notice:

This is a notice to the people, probably saying that the recent floods, the national teacher has gone out of Beijing to investigate, let local officials assist, etc., she glanced over, stared at the place below and was stunned for a while.

Daimori Kuniren and the 12th equinox.

She clearly remembered that today was the 15th year of Daimori Kunirenhe, and the spring equinox had passed for several days.

So, she looked around, and thoughts were racing in her head.

The townsfolk didn't know themselves, not because they were pretending to be deaf and dumb, or because they had collective amnesia.

It was not them who were at fault, but themselves, and even the bag of silver in the blacksmith's room was perhaps the wages paid by the shopkeeper for the blacksmith's vessels.

She stared at the door by the pond, and it all started with entering.

The speed of time in these two realms is different, but why go back three years instead of three years later?

She didn't dare to step in again, and who knows what year it would be to come out again.

Qiu Li walked out of the alley in a daze, three years ago she was nine years old and a month away, The first time she met her master and brother, which village was it?

Memories before the age of nine were blurry......

The memories are only filled with blood and floods.

By the time she got back to the inn, she was exhausted, leaning against the head of the bed, her eyes were distracted, and she was suddenly disoriented in this strange world.

She thought of the notice and the monstrous flood in her memory, and since she couldn't remember where it was, she would go to the place where there was a flood.

With a goal in mind, the hesitant mood gradually subsided, she hugged the pillow and slowly fell asleep.

The next morning, she finished washing up and squatted at the door of the inn to find the shopkeeper's chatter.

"Little boy, you are so young, why can the family rest assured that you will come out of the guest house alone?" The shopkeeper is in his fifties, with kind eyes on his face, and people of this age always have a little more love for children.

"I'm here to look for relatives, and I remember that there is often a lot of water at home." Qiu Li said with a small wrinkled face.

"Flood a lot? Either you go to Longkou Town in a few days to look for it, there is a flood over there, but the national teacher has already gone, and this flood will probably stop. ”

The shopkeeper sighed, "It's impossible to say this escape, little boy, I'm afraid you won't be able to find your relatives."

"After all, I can give up, shopkeeper grandpa, I want to buy a map, where do I go to buy it?"

"There is one in the store, a guest fell in the past, you can use it, anyway, old man, I don't plan to go far, but the road to Longkou Town is not very peaceful, little boy, you go to the west of the city with a caravan."

The shopkeeper got up and rummaged through the back of the counter, took out a rolled-up paper tube, patted the dust on it and handed it to Akiri.

"If you go to the west of the city, report to me, so that you can come to the inn again The name of the shopkeeper Pang, the owner of their business house is surnamed Du, and the car money can be saved."

Qiuli took the paper tube and thanked her, today's sky was gloomy, seeing that she was going out, the shopkeeper handed her an oil-paper umbrella, "Lead the way, this day will change." ”

Qiu Li walked to the west of the city with an oil-paper umbrella, passed some shops along the way, bought some daily necessities, purchased food, and bought an iron pot.

Stopping and stopping to the west of the city, it was almost ten o'clock, and the wind was strong, so she stuffed everything she bought into the "carry-on food box" in a secluded place.

The Chengxi Commercial Bank is easy to find, the signboard is called "Chengxi Commercial Bank", a huge street corner, a dozen horse-drawn carriages parked, a few horsemen sitting under the eaves of the street, are talking loudly.

Qiu Li entered the door of the trading house, and a round shopkeeper with two mustaches was making calculations.

"Dare to ask the shopkeeper Du if he is there?" Autumn pear gave up.

"I am." The round-faced shopkeeper raised his eyes and saw that it was a strange young man, and asked, "Where is your adult?" ”

"In Xiaqiuli, I am looking for relatives, and I want to go to Longkou Town with the convoy of the shopkeeper Du, oh, by the way, it is good to come to the inn again Shopkeeper Pang to introduce me." Qiu Li explained with a bitter face.

"There is a disaster there, you are afraid that you are looking for relatives ......" Du's shopkeeper frowned slightly, and sighed, "We just have a convoy passing by there tomorrow, I will say to the team leader, tomorrow morning at three o'clock, you come over, don't be late, the convoy will not wait for anyone." ”

"Thank you, how much do I have to pay?" Autumn pear is overjoyed.

"How much money do you have for a doll's house, you don't need it, and it's not a long journey." Shopkeeper Du glanced at her, lowered his head and continued to calculate.

"Then I'll help cook, I'll cook on the way." Qiu Li proposed with a useless mentality.

"How old are you?" Shopkeeper Du was interested, put down his abacus, "You are a family heirloom?" ”

"Don't look at my young age, my cooking is delicious." Qiu Li didn't want to lie, she only said her level of cooking.

"Well, if you do well, when you get to Longkou Town, you can't find your relatives, so go to our car shop to do things." Shopkeeper Du is used to seeing some customers who like to be cheap, and it is rare to see young people so measured.

Suddenly rejoiced, since this child is looking for relatives alone, there should be no one in the family, this kind of person stays in the car dealership to do things, which is also a good thing for the car dealership.

"Okay, thank you Du." Qiu Li's voice was crisp, and a smile appeared on the fat face of the shopkeeper Du, and he walked out from behind the counter and led Qiu Li to the door.

"Deacon Zhang!" He shouted out, and a young man came out of the door next door.

"Boss, are you looking for me?" Deacon Zhang has a long face, big shoulders and a round waist, and at first glance, he has a bit of martial arts skills.

"This little brother Qiu, tomorrow I will go to Longkou Town with your convoy, and the chef of the yellow fat man will share a little of his work."

Deacon Zhang looked at Qiu Li and nodded, "Tomorrow morning, it's three o'clock, don't be late." ”

Qiu Li gave up her hand and agreed again and again.

finally let go of a worry, and the pace back to the inn was a little brisker.

The rain really fell halfway through, and Qiu Li held an oil-paper umbrella, looking at the scenery on both sides, and her mood was much calmer.

Before the next day, Qiu Li left the room, and the rain had stopped, so she rushed to the west of the city with a small package on her back.

On the street at the entrance of the commercial house, there was already a lot of people, eight carriages, all loading, and the leader was Deacon Zhang.

"Yellow Fatty!" Deacon Zhang's voice was loud, and a fat and short middle-aged man in front of the third car turned around, "This little brother Qiu is in your charge, you can settle down." ”

The fat man Huang had a white face, and he made a move, "Xiao Qiuzi, come here." ”

The voice was also a little sharp, Qiu Li had a guess in her heart, but the person ran over diligently.

"This No. 3 car is loaded with everything from the kitchen, these days, you live here, take care of it." Seeing that Qiuli was young, the fat man arranged an easy job.

This person is very soft-hearted, and Qiu Li's face is happy, "Okay, Master Huang." ”

At three o'clock, the front of the convoy was planted with the banner of the caravan, and several oil lamps were hung on both sides of the front of the car, and Deacon Zhang shouted: "Let's go, everything goes well!" ”

"All the best!" It was the shouting of the multitude.

Akiri sat on top of a few sacks of rice covered with oilcloth, the night breeze blowing, the carriages swaying, the horses making heavy breaths, and the sound of "kick and tap" horses' hooves as the convoy headed for the city gates.
