Outside the window, the sky has just brightened. Outside the door, the voices of Zhang and Qiao Cheng were faintly heard. Seems to be whispering something. Qiao Yi and Qiao Liu heard the sound. I also rubbed my eyes and got up. Two people yawning and dressed neatly. I opened the door and went to the well to start washing. Then. Qiao Nan also ran out. He was holding on to the wooden door and looked at them in a daze. The hair is still not neatly combed. A few 'dumb hairs' fluttering in the wind. Qiao Yan couldn't stop giggling.

Qiao Nan slowly washed by the well. Sitting in a chair with a wrinkled little face and combing his hair. The small arms are always stretched out to the head, but the hair is not neatly combed after a few strokes. Qiao Yan walked over with a smile. Took the comb from his hand and combed his hair for him.

Qiao Liu was cooking breakfast with Zhang in the kitchen. Qiao Cheng squatted next to the stove and lit a fire. A few people made breakfast early and served it to the table. Quickly ate breakfast. Wash the dishes and chopsticks. Tables and chairs are wiped clean. waited nervously for Xiao Chi and Qiao Li to return to the door.

Sit in a chair. Qiao Liu couldn't stop sticking out his head to look out the door. Whispered to Qiao Yi, "What time is it? Why haven't the eldest sister and the eldest brother Xiao come yet?"

Qiao Yi patted the back of her hand helplessly. Said softly, "What are you anxious about? What time is it? It will take a while for the county seat to get here. In general, let's let our eldest sister and eldest brother Xiao walk for a while. They still came after breakfast. Naturally, it will take some time."

Zhang noticed the two of them. I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, okay. Liu'er, you're in too much of a hurry. Li'er will definitely be back early today. Let's just sit here and drink tea and wait. Don't expect to be here in a moment."

Qiao Liu reached out and scratched his head. Quite embarrassed to say: "I haven't seen my eldest sister for two days. Let's be honest. I really feel like I miss her. That's why I feel like time has passed so much today. I'm feeling a little restless myself."

Qiao Yi reached out and picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea gently. He closed the lid of the cup and said, "Then you can take a few sips of tea. It's so quiet. Save it, wait a while, you see the eldest sister, you have a belly full of things to say. It's good to have a dry mouth."

Everyone here was just amused by Qiao Yan's words. I heard some voices coming from outside the door. Zhang, who had always seemed calm, immediately put down the teacup in his hand. He stood up violently. Walked out quickly. As he walked, he said, "Is it a pear?" Is it Ri'er's back?"

When I went out, I saw a carriage parked in front of the courtyard gate. At this time, Xiao Chi was standing in front of the carriage and helping Qiao Li, who was about to get off. When Zhang saw it, he immediately stepped forward quickly. Holding Qiao Li, he said, "Pear. You're finally back."

Qiao Li, who had just gotten off the bus stop, was held in Zhang's arms. At this moment, it is also difficult to hide the excitement in my heart. Holding Zhang's two people, they almost wanted to cry. Qiao Yi, who followed behind, immediately spoke: "Mother. Eldest sister. It's a good thing to be back today. Why are you crying?"

When Zhang heard this, he immediately let go of Qiao Li. He wiped his cheeks and hurriedly said, "Yes. Oh, yes. Come. Let's stop crying. You can't always stand outside the door. Let's get inside quickly. Xiao Chi. Don't stand outside anymore. This isn't your home. Let's get inside."

Xiao Chi smiled and nodded. He whispered, "Hey. Get in right away. I'm going to get these things in first." As he spoke, he lifted out the contents of the carriage. Move into the house. Qiao Cheng saw it, so he had to move things in with him. Zhang and Qiao Liu affectionately pulled Qiao Li to the house. Qiao Yi and Qiao Nan followed behind with a smile.

Moved everything into the house. Xiao Chi led the carriage into the courtyard. Tethered under an acacia tree. At Qiao Cheng's call, he also entered the house and sat down. Qiao Yi poured tea at the right time. The family chatted affectionately. I just asked how the days were. Habit is not used to it. It's comfortable to live in the county.

Qiao Li responded one by one. Smile and say yes. Zhang's was really relieved. I was talking about how much I missed him. Qiao Li, who said it bluntly, was about to shed tears again. Qiao Yi and Qiao Liu hurriedly persuaded each other. It was only then that she stopped her tears. Lin Yi also ran over at this time. A person quietly lay on the side of the door and called, "Sister Li'er. Brother Xiao Chi. You're back today."

Qiao Li immediately smiled and beckoned to him: "Xiao Yi also ran away today. It's only been a few days since I saw him. It's like I haven't seen it in a long time. Now I see you and Xiaosi. I feel like something has changed. I feel like I've grown a lot taller. Xiao Yi, are you here to play with Xiao Si today?"

Lin Yi ran over. Leaning on Qiao Li's leg and nodded obediently: "Yes. I'm here to play with Little Four. But I heard my father and mother say that you and Brother Xiao will come today, so I want to come and see you."

Qiao Li and Xiao Chi couldn't help but laugh when they heard this: "Really. I was afraid that Xiao Yi would forget me after a long time. It doesn't look like that's going to happen. Then I'll be relieved. Xiao Si is looking at you blankly. Go and sit with him. He's got a seat for you."

Really. Xiao Si when he saw Xiao Yi coming. He had already quietly moved his small body to leave some place for Lin Yi. At this time, he was staring at Lin Yi with blank eyes. Lin Yi saw it and immediately ran over with a smile. sat next to Xiao Si. Qiao Yi had already served him a cup of tea. He also brought some snacks and put them on the table between them. The two of them laughed and drank tea and ate snacks.

We chatted for a while. Until mid-morning. Zhang beckoned Qiao Yi and Qiao Liu to go to the kitchen to cook together. Qiao Li and Xiao Chi insisted on going to the kitchen to help. was firmly rejected by Zhang. Just say let the two of them stay honest. There is no reason to let the daughter and son-in-law who come back to the door cook.

The three of them were busy in the kitchen. Smoke rises. Xiao Chi and Qiao Cheng sat in the room and talked about the world. Qiao Li couldn't help but lean in front of the kitchen door and talk to them. Xiao Si and Lin Yi carried a small basket and gave the horses some grass to eat.

Until noon on the day. Zhang just beckoned to start the meal. One dish after another was served on the table. Straight table filled. And the mellow aroma of the wine was brought on. A few people sat and laughed and ate together. Xiao Chi responded to Qiao Yi's request and just said interesting things in the county. One by one, the people at the table listened to it fascinated.

Qiao Liu chattered and proposed: "Brother Xiao. It's interesting to hear these interesting facts. But ah. What I want to hear most is the details of your government's case. As an errand boy, you must have encountered a lot of bizarre cases. I've heard some of them mentioned a long time ago. But it's just a few sentences and there's no follow-up. You are a witness. You must know that it is very detailed. Tell us about it."

At this time, even Lin Yi and Xiao Si opened their eyes and looked at Xiao Chi. Xiao Chi's hand holding the wine glass paused slightly. said with a smile: "Solving the case naturally has many bizarre and strange things. But you're listening to stories that add color rendering. If only I had to talk about it. Much more interesting. But ah. You can't talk about it now. I'm nothing. Just a word out there. I guess you won't be able to eat."

Qiao Yi laughed out loud. looked at Qiao Yi and said, "That's it. Those cases. It's not just the weirdness. Those ghost legends you heard. But it's all fake. And there are many cases that the government has cracked that are too bloody. It's not for us girls to listen to. You ask Brother Xiao like this. It's in the dinner room again. But what can he say?"

Qiao Cheng also smiled and shook his head. Said to Qiao Liu: "Indeed. The government's case is not something that you girls can hear. Most of those bizarre and bizarre ones were added by people who didn't know the situation. If only I had said it. But there's none of that. So you. Don't even think about letting Xiao Chi tell you about it."

Qiao Liu sighed with regret on his face. He made an expression that was the same and said, "I thought those fox monster legends were true. It's all fake. All right. I don't listen to that anymore. Let's ask some other stories. Hey. That's right. Brother Xiao. There are some interesting stories in the county. You've been in the county for a long time. I must know a lot."

Xiao Chi looked at Qiao Liu's face full of anticipation. smiled and responded: "This one naturally has. Let's not say it's the county seat. I've traveled to other places before. The most prosperous place I've ever been to is Kyoto. It's not just bustling there. There are many capable people. There are many legends in the market. Many of them are not vicious ghosts. On the contrary, many of them are righteous demons. Most of them are good people who do good deeds and save a certain animal. Later, this thing became a cultivator. Come and repay the favor. The story is also very interesting. It's all legends though. But a lot of it has a lot of meaning. It's also thought-provoking."

Really. Qiao Liu's eyes lit up when he heard this. One vigorously said: "There are such stories. It's so much more fun than the ghosts. I've never heard of it before. Brother Xiao. Tell us about it. I love hearing these stories."

The two elders of Qiao Cheng and Zhang also looked at it with some curiosity. I am also very interested in the righteous demon that Xiao Chi said. Qiao Cheng nodded: "Xiao Chi. These stories do sound quite interesting. Why don't you tell us a few of them? I've rarely heard such stories."

Qiao Nan and Lin Yi also put down their chopsticks and looked over. I am also very interested in the story of Xiao Chi's righteous demon. After all, such fox fairies and ghosts only say that it is a very popular topic. Listening to this is a hobby for all children.
