Vol 5 Chapter 249: White lie

"So, did we know each other before?"
"Of course... Do you remember a world with many mirrors? There is a maze of big mirrors. You pointed me the way and told me how to get out of that maze."
"Huh? Am I that good? But...I hate mirrors the most."
"Don't you have a small mirror in your hand?"
"This is a gift! Not a mirror!" Zhu Si angrily hid his small mirror, paused for a moment, and then reopened: "Since you have gone, why are you back again?"
"Because you invited me to a big meal, I want to invite you back."
"My meal?" A look of interest appeared on the little witch's face: "What's all there?"
"There are chicken heads, vegetables, and rice...it's the big meal in the picture album in your arms."
"It turned out to be food in this album! What I said, it smells delicious..."
"...Don't you know what is in this album?"
"It has been empty for a long time."
"Then why do you keep holding it?"
"Forget... it may be a habit."
The young public servant and the little witch were sitting side by side, leaning on the trunk of an old oak tree.
Zheng Qing looked up, looking at the bright night sky that penetrated through the gaps in the leaves. The little witch lowered her head and teased a little mouse in a wizard's robe on her palm.
A large linen cloth was spread in front of the two, with purple-red checkered stripes, but in the dim night, the pattern on it looked vague and heavy, as if one after another scrutinizing eyes.
The linen cloth is full of various things.
The sugar man and sugar cat of Shuangtangji play in the exquisite glass box; the newest fruit puffs of Meow Dessert, exudes a sweet smell, attracting the sound of rustling from time to time in the depths of the forest. ; The classic hairpin and headband of Mu Shiniang can still be loved by the little witch even after decades and a world. There is also the Pandora’s Box sold in the Apple Pavilion, neatly arranged, in Before opening the box, even Zheng Qing, the buyer, didn't know what weird things could be opened.
For example, just now, the little witch drove out a little mouse wearing a wizard robe from the magic box. It wore an old-style pointed wizard hat on its head, and wielded a wand long and short with a matchstick in his hand, running on a purple linen blanket. Running around, waving the magic wand from time to time, a string of golden sparks appeared from the tip of the wand.
The little witch had a lot of fun playing with it.
Correspondingly, she was much less alert to Zheng Qing, and she was willing to talk a lot with him.
The long chats made Zheng Qing realize that as long as he didn't mention how Zhu Si arrived in this world, and didn't ask about some essential topics, the little witch was still the little witch.
Alert, smart, immature and sophisticated.
It is not fear or sorrow that can break people's hearts most, but the sense of helplessness that makes people feel helpless. As long as there is evidence? Even in the abyss? It won't make people despair.
What's more, the two of them are not in the abyss right now, but in a quiet oak forest.
Thinking of the oak forest? Zheng Qing recalled where he had just fallen into this world--he had enough reason to suspect that the two people were now in the depths of the enchanting forest--this suspicion was when he saw a few old plants nearby. The sneaky brown figure behind the oak? And the beating sound from Ying Ying Chuo Chuo became affirmation.
Zheng Qing once saw Nikita’s

provided by the Great Elder Attar? In addition to the terrifying giants and ferocious birds, there are also a large group of slick fur, short head, and Mouse-like creature.
"Can't we stay here for too long?" The young public servant glanced at the deep forest. Struggling, tried to stand up: "It's too dangerous here."
The sequelae of the use of the blood rune bullet has not completely subsided, and the wizard has consumed a bit of magic power, and he feels like his head wants to be pricked by a needle. He clutched his head? Snorted? Sit back under the oak.
"Don't be afraid, the ancestors look fierce, but they are actually very timid." Compared with him, Zhu Si was much more calm. She put the little mouse in her palm on her shoulders? Stretched out her arms and patted. Pat Zheng Qing's arm? Soothed: "They never dare to attack someone taller than them. And they are most afraid of cats..."
Then, she glanced at the black cat's tail behind Zheng Qing? Nodded with satisfaction: "...we have both of them."
Zheng Qing deliberately argued that he was not a cat.
But after the tail behind him swayed weakly twice, he finally gave up arguing.
"Not the ancestors?" The young public-sponsored student waved his hand? He signaled that he was not afraid of the brown mice: "but some more dangerous existence. They will appear in this forest at any time...These ancestors must be theirs. Eyeliner."
"But?" The little witch bit her lip and twisted her fingers together unconsciously: "I'm looking for my father and mother here... They must be waiting for me somewhere."
Zheng Qing opened his mouth and deliberately told her that this is just a world sandwiched between fantasy and reality~EbookFREE.me~ There can be no parents of her, even if there are, it is just an illusion.
But he couldn't say it.
Not only because after speaking out, the little witch may fall back into a state of chaos, but also because of this simple and persistent belief may be the only reason why she is still sober now.
Say it and it will kill her.
"Your parents are outside, not in this forest." Zheng Qing hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to deceive. He looked into Zhu Si's eyes and said seriously: "There are only oaks, mushrooms and ancestors in this forest. , There is no wizard... You are a wizard, your parents are also wizards, and I am also a wizard."
The persuasive power of identity, the exquisite sugar man, the sweet puffs, and the rat doll playing around with a magic wand finally made Zhu Si change his mind.
"You said, you know where they are," she opened her shiny eyes and looked at the boy: "I believe you. I will go with you. But if you can't find them, I will come back."
Zheng Qing nodded vigorously.
"Then shall we set off now?"
"...Just take a break, I need to take a few potions."
"Why do you take medicine?"
"Because of the excessive use of magic power before."
"Oh, I know that excessive use of magic is uncomfortable... I have had that time before, and I felt that my whole person was hollowed out. Then a big red-eyed sister gave me the delicious brewed by my ancestors Come back to life."
"...Next time you see that big sister with red eyes, you must stay away. She is not a good person."
Zhu Si nodded, but shook his head again: "Red eyes are really bad, I also remember to avoid... But that big sister is very good, she told me, as long as I can live, find my parents, eyes It doesn’t matter what color it is."
