I’m a Witch In Dongying

mainly……

Because the little girl's right hand was just grasping on her collar and it was held tightly. From Bai Shuiqiu's perspective, she could just see her neckline loosened slightly, and there was a faint white spring light coming through it. After coming out, there are two delicate clavicles.

Fortunately, the quality of the buttons of her pajamas was fairly solid, and Jie Xia was just a child and didn't have much strength, so she didn't fully pull it apart.

"Hmm..."

At this moment, Jie Xia seemed to have dreamed of something interesting, her mouth was still smacking, she made a bewildered dream, and she couldn't hear what she was talking about.

"..."

Bai Shuiqiu tried to move her body, feeling that it was a bit unrealistic to get up without disturbing Jie Xia.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally patted Jiexia on the back and woke up the little girl.

"Ah, is it already dawn?"

When Bai Shuiqiu yelled for the third time, Jiexia slowly opened her eyes, and she was confused for a while before noticing her poor sleeping posture, her face blushed, and she shrank her body from Bai Shuiqiu a little hurriedly. Going back, he wiped the place where his mouth was just past her collar, and wiped away the non-existent saliva:

"Sister, I'm sorry, I thought I was sleeping with my mother, accidentally..."

"It's ok."

Bai Shuiqiu smiled.

She hasn't fallen to the point where she has to care about with five or six-year-old children.

After talking to Jie Xia, he checked his clothes without showing off, and after confirming that it was not torn, Bai Shuiqiu sat up on the bed with both hands, and re-buttoned the loose button at the top of the neckline. good.

Then he pulled the hem of the shirt smoothly to smooth out the wrinkles that had been grabbed by the little hands.

During this process, Bai Shuiqiu faintly smelled a scent of milk, which seemed to have been contaminated by Jie Xia.

Fortunately, this little girl does not have the habit of drooling in sleep. Except for the unclear tooth mark beside the top button of the collar, it may be caused by Jie Xia unconsciously in her sleep, but there is nothing else in it. Otherwise, this pajamas will have to be cleaned again...

Bai Shuiqiu got out of bed and walked to the window.

Raising his hand, he completely opened the half-covered curtain.

Wow----

It was the morning when the sky was bright, and large patches of sunlight spilled in the direction of the shrine through the gaps in the leaves, and then crossed the glass windows in front of Bai Shuiqiu, illuminating the things in the house, very warm.

Breathing the fresh air wafting from the woods outside, Bai Shuiqiu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and his mood became brighter.

"Today is July 15th..."

After experiencing what happened last night, Bai Shuiqiu has no worries about today's Zhongyuan Festival.

Anyway, the worst result has been experienced yesterday, and even if something goes wrong later, it will not be worse than this trip to the "Inside the World".

"elder sister……"

Jie Xia suddenly yelled in a low voice.

"Ok?"

Bai Shuiqiu stretched out in front of the window, suddenly heard the sound behind her, turned her head and took a look, and found that the little girl didn't know what she saw, her whole body shrank into a small ball, and she wrapped herself in a quilt. Pointing out a little finger somewhere outside the window, the expression on his face looked particularly horrified:

"The tree... is the moving tree!"

"Tree?"

Bai Shuiqiu was stunned for a moment, followed the little girl's gaze and looked out of the window for a few moments. When he noticed the pink and white peach blossoms in the woods behind the shrine, he suddenly realized.

Yes.

The night before going out to set the river lantern, Jiexia had seen the Peach Tree Demon. Although it was just a glimpse, the time had just passed two days, and the little girl obviously still remembered that scene. So at this time, seeing the peach tree demon located in the back mountain forest, naturally showed a panicked expression.

"This is what you said... Don't worry, it's okay."

Bai Shuiqiu turned around and comforted the little girl softly:

"This peach tree is indeed a tree monster, but it belongs to the better group of monsters, and has now been subdued by my sister as a shikigami, and will not cause any harm to humans, so there is no need to be afraid. All right."

"God formula?"

Jie Xia was still a little dazed.

"Well, it's a kind of existence that has signed a contract with a practitioner and is used by the master. It can be a monster or a spirit body. The little fox that took you and your mother to escape in the'inside world' last night , Is a kind of shikigami, its name is wind raccoon..."

Bai Shuiqiu explained a few more words in detail.

These things on the spiritual level, Jie Xia will have to come into contact with each other sooner or later.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to popularize science in advance and literacy for her is not a bad thing.

Because of her young age, Jie Xia was a little ignorant, and apparently still did not fully understand what Bai Shuiqiu revealed, but Bai Shuiqiu didn't plan to teach her all at once, but after a brief introduction, she stopped it for the time being. topic:

"After dinner later, I will take you to say hello to the peach tree demon."

...

No matter what happens, eating is always the first thing.

When Bai Shuiqiu came back last night, the food in his stomach was basically digested clean. After taking a bath, he went back to the room and slept for ten hours. At this time, he felt that his stomach was empty and hungry. To the front of the chest and stick to the back.

If you don't eat any more, I'm afraid your eyes will turn black.

When Bai Shuiqiu came out of the bedroom with Jiexia, Chiyo and Bai Shui Kazuto and his wife had already gotten up.

With the help of Jiashi, Chiyo quickly prepared a large table of sumptuous meals, allowing Bai Shuiqiu to feast on it. After eating three bowls of rice in a row, he felt a little full.

But couples don’t have that good appetite.

The two probably haven’t fully recovered from yesterday’s near-death experience. They were a little bit depressed, and also behaved absent-mindedly when eating, but due to the presence of the elderly, the superficial etiquette at the dinner table was still done. It's in place.

After a meal.

Chiyo put the fresh fruits and vegetables tribute on the counter table, burned incense to worship, and then took out the elf cow made of eggplant, placed it in the courtyard, and chanted the curse of resurrection.

This set of procedures is naturally a "sending soul" ceremony.

According to Dongying tradition, the soul-sending ceremony should have been done last night.

But before dinner was eaten yesterday, it happened that he and his wife entered the inner world, so it is only now that I have time to make up for this ceremony.

During the whole process, Bai Shuiqiu also offered incense, prayed together for a moment, and then returned to the corridor silently.

There is no scene of the return of the dead.

There was no such thing as the opening of the ghost door.

It seems that the folk-rumored "country of yellow springs" and the real "inside world" are indeed not the same concept. The return of the dead soul from the Yin Division is really just a simple vision entrusted with grief, not a reality that can actually happen.

A soul-sending ceremony ended calmly and calmly.

After that, Bai Shuiqiu took Jiexia and quietly went to meet the peach tree monster in the woods behind the shrine.

At first, Jiexia was obviously a little scared.

After all, compared with the wind raccoon, who is fluffy and looks like a domestic pet, a "moving tree" like the peach tree demon does not have enough affinity.

Even with Bai Shuiqiu by her side, the little girl shrank a little, involuntarily hiding her body behind Bai Shuiqiu.

However, after the Peach Tree Demon transformed into a human form, she greeted her in a friendly manner, and then raised her hand to explore a branch full of pink and white peach blossoms, and handed it to Jie Xia's hand, the fear on the little girl's face The color gradually faded, and his expression became lively.

While holding the branch in his hand, he circulated a few times around the peach tree demon with a novel expression on his face, and occasionally poked the peach tree demon's arm a few times, as if he was curious about its body structure. Then before the latter turned his head, he retracted his hand like lightning.

Bai Shuiqiu looked a little funny.

While Jie Xia was arguing next to her, she lowered her voice and asked the Peach Tree Fairy whether cutting that branch would have any effect on herself. After all, from a human point of view, the branches of a tree are a bit similar to human fingers-but with the body shape of the peach tree monster, compared with this branch, it should be said that a fingernail is more accurate.

"It's okay, it's just a small branch."

The peach tree demon made a gesture of "a little bit": "Our trees are very capable of self-repair. As long as the main part is not damaged and a few branches are broken, it can grow back in a day or two at most."

"Is that so..."

Bai Shuiqiu recalled the battle that took place when he didn't subdue the Peach Tree Demon, and he probably understood a little bit.

At this time, Jiexia had already circled the Peach Tree Demon twice, raised her little face and looked at the face of the Peach Tree Demon, and then looked at Bai Shuiqiu. After a comparison, she whispered as if she had discovered a new world. Yelled:

"Hey, sister Taoshu looks like sister..."

"this……"

Bai Shuiqiu's face was stagnant, and he explained a little vaguely: "Because this peach tree has just cultivated to the transformation stage, and is not proficient in the use of demon power, it can only change into this way for the time being..."

Sure enough, it’s better to look back for a nice photo from the Internet, and let the Peach Tree Demon be transformed into a human form...

While thinking about this, Bai Shuiqiu also suddenly realized another problem——

When she was looking for Jiexia and others before, the Peach Tree Demon had promised that she would give the Peach Tree Demon a name when she came back this time. When I said that, I didn't think too much, but now, she has indeed returned safely from the "Inside World". According to the agreement, it is time to "repay the wish", but the problem is...

Bai Shuiqiu hadn't thought of a name for the Peach Tree Demon yet.

To be precise, I didn't think about it at all.

After all, when she was in the "inside world", she didn't have the mind to think about these miscellaneous things, and after coming back from there, she slept until dawn, and then ran over after a meal, and there was no room to help. The peach tree demon wanted a name.

If the Peach Tree Fairy suddenly asked at this time, it would be a bit embarrassing...

"By the way, Master Qiu..."

The Peach Tree Fairy seemed to have thought of something. After saying hello to Jiexia, a pair of eyes looked towards Bai Shuiqiu and asked a little embarrassed: "You said before that you will give me one when you come back this time. Name... Do you have any ideas now?"

"Forehead……"

Bai Shuiqiu felt guilty when asked.

But in front of the Peach Tree Demon, she couldn’t tell the truth directly that she didn’t think about it, so she could only search and scrape her belly, and said in a vague way: "Ahem, I actually don’t have any talent for naming, since your body is A peach tree...

How about Chun and Chun Hui? "

Bai Shuiqiu is really bad at naming.

In her previous life, even when she gave herself a net name in various chat software and games, she often had to think for a long time to decide, let alone use her real name in reality. I said this name because I thought that peach blossom is a symbol of spring, so I deliberately used the word "chun".

But really speaking, because the peach tree demon is a demon, its habits are different from ordinary peach trees. The time of transformation and flowering is in July. If you really want to use the season to name it...

I am afraid that the word "summer" is more suitable...

"Well, if you don't like this name, I can think of another..."

Bai Shuiqiu said nervously.

"No, this name is good..."

The peach tree demon read silently several times, then raised his head, with a humane joy on his face: "Chune...I like it very much."

"Yes, is it?"

Bai Shuiqiu followed with a smile.

At the same time when the peach tree demon said these words, she vaguely gave birth to a vague feeling.

It's like the peach tree in front of me has undergone some unexplainable changes invisibly, and it is very subtle, almost neglecting the past if you don't pay attention. Now when you look at the peach tree demon, it seems to be a bit different from the previous one. It's not the same. It seems that the peach blossoms all over the tree are brighter than before, and the fragrance of flowers in the air has become a bit more intense.

"what?"

Bai Shuiqiu saw it in his eyes, and asked a few questions with some doubts. After getting a response from the peach tree demon with no special feeling, he withdrew his gaze and temporarily buried his doubts in his heart. Then he talked about the "Inside World" to the Peach Tree Monster again.

After all, the Peach Tree Monster is now her shikigami, and it is necessary to exchange information in advance when it is difficult to say that she will fight together.

At about twelve o'clock, the sisters returned to the house and had lunch.

In the afternoon, Bai Shuiqiu handed Jiexia to Chiyo's care.

And she herself went back to the bedroom and started another extremely important thing, that is, taking advantage of the fact that she had just come out of the "inside world" and the memory was still clear, to complete the whole process. Write it down and make a note to prevent forgetting.

First, it was to record what I saw and saw this time.

Secondly, it is also necessary to put some of the conjectures that I have produced on paper.

In the process of recording, Bai Shuiqiu also deliberately found a four-open extra-large white paper, drew a map of the "inside world", and then marked the type and approximate number of evil objects in each block next to it. For those evil things that have not appeared in this world, and therefore are not officially named, they are all named after their first sense.

For example, the bloated human figure is named "Roshan Monster".

Red mist is called "red mist".

Then there are "water-stained human figures", "geckos", "evil brains" and so on...

——"Evil Brain" refers to the kind of thing that does not know how to take possession of two sacrificed action team members and manipulate them. Although it is not clear what the evil thing looks like, and the specific mechanism of its ability, but Since it is the ability to manipulate, and it can take effect so quickly, most of it is related to the brain.

For this reason, Bai Shuiqiu deliberately put a question mark behind the name of this thing, and then drew a circle with a red pen, indicating that it is very threatening.

This work took Bai Shuiqiu nearly two hours.
