An eldest lady gave Xiaoqing an old mallet used to pound rice, and told her: "This is a treasure handed down from my ancestors!"

So Xiao Jing happily took it, and the two little hands held it vividly, turned his back and knocked it twice on Wen Bin's head as if knocking on the wooden fish...... I felt like it was very easy to use, and then I took it.

An aunt gave Xiao Jing an old, washed apron that was a little white, and told her: "This is a treasure handed down from my ancestors!"

So Xiao Jing happily took it, turned his back and put Wen Bin on his body in a similar way (a certain text: ...... It felt very authentic, and then I took it again.

A sister-in-law gave Xiao Jing a red velvet backing with a belly pocket embroidered with lotus flowers, and told her: "This is a treasure handed down from my ancestors!"

Xiao Jing was stunned with joy, and hurriedly thanked him while reaching out to take it, and then turned his back, and before he could make a gesture, he saw a certain Wen standing up from his seat with a dark face, and prevaricated stiffly: "It's stuffy in the room, I'll go out to breathe." ”

“......”

Xiao Jing didn't have any opinions, but this time he could choke the aunts, aunts, sisters-in-law, and sisters next to him, and the audience laughed all of a sudden.

Xiao Jing was still confused there with a 'silly and cute' face, and Wen Bin's handsome face was even darker.

Woman......

When you're in a crowd, it's really unbearable!

It's like the seven dwarfs and a Snow White staged in a fairy tale;

And if you change it to seven Snow White and a dwarf. It wouldn't be a fairy tale, but a horror movie.

...

After a while, when Wen Bin entered the house after breathing enough fresh air, he happened to see a child carefully holding a simple necklace in both hands (saying that it is a necklace, but in fact it is just a rope with an irregularly shaped citrine stone like an eight-sided dice), leaned forward and said to Sù Xiaoqing seriously: "This is the relic of my grandmother, a treasure handed down from our ancestors!"

“......”

Because I have heard this sentence too many times, I really don't feel it at all at this time.

"Ah, is this for me?"

I've been able to keep everything fresh to this day. That's all that remains is extremely resistant. I saw her happily take the necklace from the sloppy child on the other side, and seemed to naturally show a very happy expression, and said with sincere gratitude: "What a beautiful stone! It's so beautiful! I like it so much, thank you!"

"Ahh Haha!" He stretched out a dirty little hand and scratched a fluffy curly. It looked like a chicken nest with messy hair, and then smirked: "If you like it...... But it's not a stone!"

"Huh?"

"It's amber!" said the child. He stretched his neck and leaned forward, and showed her his dirty little finger with a serious face: "Look, the soul of the legendary Qingjiao princess is still sealed here!"

"Wow, really!"

Xiaoqing is also a very good master to be fooled, what people say, she will believe it.

“......”

Although I didn't believe it, I couldn't help but speed up my steps when I heard this dialogue, stood behind Xiao Jing with both hands, bowed down sharply, and observed the irregularly shaped amber stone that sealed the soul of Princess Qingjiao in their mouths with a posture of 'third party watching'.

Well......

The color of the stone is really similar to amber, but the shape is too weird: in the memory of a certain article, amber should be a fossil of resin, right? When it has not condensed and formed, it should be a viscous liquid, how can it be formed like this after tens of millions of years... Uh, what about the inexplicable shape?

The whole is oval, but it is very irregular, like a three-dimensional honeycomb.

Because it presents a color that is similar to boiling magma, it still looks very good, and with the change of light and shadow, it can also condense a small tadpole-like pale golden brilliance, dazzling to see, like smoke and fog, it really looks like something enchanted, ancient and mysterious things sealed in it.

But... In fact, it is nothing more than an illusion of light and shadow.

Really.

Two little broken children!

It's just a small stone with a slightly more beautiful color, and it's so strange that it looks like a baby, it's really unbearable!

... Because it was too boring, a certain article looked at it, and gradually felt very listless...... So a head became heavier and heavier, and then he simply rested his chin on the top of Xiaoqing's head, and he was grinding and grinding it when he had nothing to do, and he felt very comfortable.

"Hey!"

The owner of the head didn't do it anymore, he shook it vigorously like a dog, and told him: "It's heavy, it's true!" Throwing off the heavy stone head, she remembered it again after a while, and hurriedly handed him the necklace in her hand, and commanded vividly: "Anyway, you're idle, hurry, put it on for me!"

"Oh. ”

A certain Wen took it, put it on Xiao Jing's delicate and silky neck, tied a dead knot, and then asked her, "How is this, Your Majesty the Queen?"

"Mmmm, that's good, that's good!" Xiao Jing stuffed the stone into his clothes as a matter of course.

"Uh, that ......" At this time, the next little people who seemed to pray to God and worship Buddha came up again, and presented a broken and old porcelain bowl to Guanyin Bodhisattva (Meng Xiaoqing) in their minds, and told her by the way: "This is a treasure handed down from our ancestors!"

"Oh. ”

Xiao Jing hurriedly reached out to pick it up.

"This bowl is very good, it can't be broken!" the other party was afraid that his gift would not be in line with the gods, and he tried to explain to him while offering a gift.

"Oooh!"

... At this time, the two alternated. Accidentally slipped a hand, and the porcelain bowl fell to the ground.

'Snap', it really didn't break, but it cracked like a branch.

“......”

“......”

“......”

After a period of silence among the three parties, including a certain article, the little common man picked it up calmly and steadily, looked left and right, and couldn't help muttering: "This look... Looks like it doesn't work......"

A certain Wen and Xiao Jing didn't speak, just stared at him with their eyes wide open.

"But," he was at a moment's speed. Calmly told the two of them: "It's okay. I still have a lot of them, and I only fired about 100 of them last year! Wait, I'll go back and get ......."

As he spoke, he turned around and went out.

“......”

“......”

Such silence did not last long. Soon. The next believer who 'sincerely' offered their family's 'treasures handed down from their ancestors' to Guanyin Master Meng Xiaoqing came up again......

It's really boring!

A certain article is about to be bored to death by these people!

But Xiaoqing is still happy to do it!

Alas......

It turned out to be a mess until late. The burlesque finally ended, and the two of them each stayed in the room arranged for them by the village elder and spent the night.

The next day.

As stated in the quest: My friend and I learned from the villagers that this is a cursed world. In order to turn this barren world into a rich land full of gold, and to increase the number of slaves under his command who can provide long-term labor, the lord who rules this world has ordered his subordinate dark high priests to cast a strange spell on this world, making it like a black hole that can only enter and cannot exit.

As a result, it is difficult for outsiders to leave on their own, and many people spend their entire lives wandering in search of a way out, for decades, or even centuries, in a persistent pursuit, only to die in a foreign land.

There are also people who give up halfway and settle down in this world.

Because of their own weakness, more people entered this world, and were quickly captured by the lord, and became miserable court slaves, never seeing the light of day......

So, what do we do?

Listening to the rumors that have been passed down from generation to generation by the villagers, I couldn't help but get scared, and I beat the small drum in my heart.

But fortunately, there is no endless way, and in return for saving the small village, the villagers secretly pointed out a realistic and feasible way out for us in private.

In order to get out of here, we accepted the advice of the simple and kind villagers, and decided to find the witch princess 'Qingjiao Princess', who is closest to the god in this world, and asked her to use a secret method to teleport us out.

It is said that Princess Qingjiao is a kind, benevolent, gentle, and elegant beautiful girl, and I believe that when we find her, she will be willing to help our pair of victims.

In ancient legends, there was a precedent for outsiders who found the Qingjiao princess to leave this cursed world.

I think we'll be looking forward to that day as well.

However, there is still a problem that needs to be solved before that, and that is that according to rumors, the god's witch queen 'Qingjiao Princess' has suddenly disappeared mysteriously recently, leaving only a faint trace in this world......

In order to get out of this haunted place, we decided to cross the ocean to find the mysterious lighthouse that is said to hide the whereabouts of Princess Frog.

――The above is the plot flow of the main quest.

In other words, from now on, a certain Wen and Xiaoqing can leave this small village without worrying about their butts......

But!

Crossing the ocean, crossing the ocean!

It's been a long journey!

Are you two going to run away empty-handed like this?

Don't you even plan to bring food with you on your journey?

In addition to food, you need at least a sturdy boat, right?

Do you want to swim in the sea and swim from one side of the sea to the other?

...... Do you think you are a mermaid?

In addition, thick clothes, warm bedding, and related survival objects are also essential, right?

Don't you want it?

“......”

Having said all that, what does he mean?

Well, well, ahem!

Actually, there are a whole bunch of side quests for the outsiders to help the villagers build the village and get the supplies the villagers have raised for them, silently beckoning to them and waiting for the two 'unfortunates' to complete them...... (To be continued......)

PS: Somehow (probably because I'm seriously ill), I've been feeling nervous in my head lately, whether I'm standing, sitting or lying down, as if I have a foot on it, and it hurts......

alas

How so?
