Chapter 205 8 Village
"Gulu..."
The little girl couldn't help swallowing her saliva and hid behind a tree, watching the four people in front of her eating with relish, but she didn't dare to get close.
However, Zhou Xingxing could not hide the noise. He turned his head to look at the tree where the little girl was hiding.
When the little girl saw Zhou Xingxing’s gaze moving towards her, she quickly retracted her head.
However, although the head has retracted, the two ears are still exposed, which makes people feel a little cute.
"I'm going to see who the little guy over there is."
Zhou Xingxing put down the instant noodles, stood up and walked towards the ears.
Qiong was also a little curious, but when he saw someone else leaving, he didn't move.
As he got closer to the tree, Zhou Xingxing saw that the little guy behind the tree seemed to be nervous, and his ears couldn't help but twitch a few times.
Pinch——
Zhou Xingxing reached out and gently pinched the ears. They were very furry and soft and very easy to pinch.
"Yeah!"
Feeling his ears being grabbed, the little guy behind the tree screamed in fright and then jumped out.
Seeing that he was discovered, the little guy looked timid and frightened.
"Um...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to peek at you...I just smelled the fragrance...I'll leave now..."
The little guy looked panicked and stammered, then turned around and tried to run.
However, Zhou Xingxing grabbed the little guy by the collar. He looked to be about seven or eight years old, about the same age as Hook.
"No, we are having dinner. Now that you are here, don't leave."
Zhou Xingxing said with a slight smile.
But in the little guy's ears, it felt like the person in front of him wanted to eat him.
"We're eating. Now that you're here, don't leave. I'm going to eat you too—"
This voice, like the devil's whisper, was automatically completed in my mind.
"I'm sorry! Please don't eat me!"
The little guy screamed in fright and squatted down to cover his ears.
Qiong, who was standing by, was speechless after hearing this. Could Xing be so fierce?
"Who wants to eat you? I just want to ask if you are hungry and treat you to a meal."
Zhou Xingxing's face was full of black lines. What was this kid thinking? Why did he want to eat her?
"Hey...you really don't want to eat me?"
After hearing this, the little guy timidly raised his head and looked at Zhou Xingxing.
"Who would eat humans?"
Zhou Xingxing was full of helplessness.
"By the way, little guy, what's your name? Where are you from?"
"My name is Rin, and I'm from Yae Village..."
Seeing that Zhou Xingxing had no ill intentions, Lin felt relieved and nodded.
"Ye Village? Rin?"
Zhou Xingxing held his forehead slightly, looking so familiar.
"Is your sister's name Yaezakura?"
Zhou Xingxing asked tentatively.
"Brother, do you know my sister?"
Rin's eyes widened when she heard Yaesakura's name.
Zhou Xingxing secretly complained in his heart, don’t we know each other? We are very familiar with each other, and we are both SSS.
"Yes, we happen to want to visit Yae Village. How about, Rin, I'll treat you to a meal, and when you're full, take us back to the village."
"Okay, okay, thank you, big brother!"
Lin nodded happily when she heard that the person in front of her knew her sister, and the last bit of her wariness disappeared instantly.
Bringing Lin back to the group, Zhou Xingxing made another bowl of noodles.
"Well, I haven't asked my big brother and big sister's names yet."
Lin sat down next to Zhou Xingxing very politely and asked everyone.
"What a lovely little girl. My name is Ting Yun. The big brother you are talking about is Xing, and this one is Qiong, and this one is Shibao."
Tingyun looked at Lin and smiled, then introduced him.
Rin nodded, then called out sweetly to everyone.
"Speaking of which, Sister Tingyun...are you a fox?"
After Lin greeted him, he couldn't help but stare at Tingyun.
"Yes."
Tingyun nodded, but seeing that Lin had a pair of strange fox ears but no tail, Tingyun couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Rin, are you also a fox?"
“I’m not.”
Lin shook his head, and his answer surprised everyone.
"Huh? Why do you have fox ears if you're not a fox person? Although they're not quite the same as Miss Tingyun's fox ears."
Qiong asked very puzzled.
"Well... Actually, this is because the ancestors of Yae Village were a group of extremely powerful Onmyojis. They would form a contract with the fox gods to live and fight together. The ancestors stayed with the fox gods for a lifetime and were contaminated by the aura of the fox gods for a long time. Gradually, the descendants of the Yae family all had fox ears."
It seemed like it was the first time someone asked her this kind of question, and Rin enthusiastically told her the story from the past.
"So that's how it is. I was wondering why you didn't have a tail."
Tingyun nodded when he heard this. It turned out that this little girl was actually a human being, and the ears on her head were just a manifestation of the blessing of the fox fairy.
"Onmyoji? Sounds very powerful."
It was the first time that Qiong heard this title and she was very interested.
"Well, it's really amazing! But... the fox fairy hasn't appeared for many years, so the Yae family hasn't had an Onmyoji for a long time."
Lin nodded heavily, then with a hint of regret.
"What does a fox fairy look like? I'm curious."
Qiong thought about it, but couldn't figure out the difference between the so-called fox fairy and an ordinary fox.
"Hmm... I haven't seen it either. I just heard from my sister that the fox fairy is snow-white with red hair like flames all over his body... I remember there is a painting of the fox fairy enshrined in the castle tower, but I don't remember it clearly."
Rin thought about it for a moment, then shook his head.
"If you can't remember, forget it. Let's eat first. After you're full, we can go back to the village together."
Zhou Xingxing thought the noodles were almost soft, so he opened the lid and handed it to Lin.
"Thank you, Brother Xing. You're welcome."
Lin took the bowl of instant noodles with an excited look on her face, as if she had never eaten this kind of food before.
Seeing Lin eating so happily, Qiong couldn't help but ask.
"Rin, have you never eaten instant noodles?"
"Instant noodles? Is that the name of this thing? No... The village usually eats rice balls and fish, and I've never seen anything like this."
Rin responded while eating noodles.
After a few words back and forth, Lin finally finished eating.
"Brother, is it okay to have one more hump?"
Zhou Xingxing walked to the horse, patted its head and asked.
Ma rolled his eyes. Did he have the right to refuse?
After carrying five people on his back, Zhou Xingxing started riding his horse and galloped in the direction Lin pointed.
After a few minutes, we finally came out of the cherry blossom forest and saw a village in the distance with the ground paved with bluestone bricks.
At the back of the village, a tall building stood there. It was the castle tower that Rin mentioned.
When they arrived at the village entrance, several people got off their horses. Zhou Xingxing let the horses go and let them rest and eat grass at the entrance of the village.
But before leaving, he did not forget to say to the horse: "You are not allowed to run."
Originally, the horse had already sent everyone away and was thinking about going back to its owner, but unexpectedly, after hearing what Zhou Xingxing said, it suddenly didn't dare to go any further and could only snort a few times to express its dissatisfaction.
As soon as I walked into the village, I heard a voice coming from the side.
"Rin, you sneaked out to play again. I thought you were going to come back when it was almost dark."
A girl wearing a JK-style shrine maiden costume and a pair of pink fox ears on her head walked over, her tone sounding a little worried.
"Sister, I didn't run around. I met your friends and took them back to the village."
Lin smiled and threw himself on the girl, laughing.
"my friend?"
The girl looked at the people behind Lin with a little confusion, then walked forward with a bit of caution.
Although she was wearing a shrine maiden's uniform, everyone could clearly see that she had a shiny sword hanging around her waist.
"Everyone, nice to meet you. I'm the manager of Yae Village. My name is Yaesakura."
