Quickly wear: I am looking for my owner in the human world

Chu Chi pursed her lips, and her slightly curled fingers showed a rare hint of nervousness.

Xuan Wei stared at him and said quietly: "In two hours, you came out to get water four times, which is obviously higher than the normal frequency."

"If it's not a physical illness, it's a mental illness."

She paused for a moment and said, "If you have any questions, just ask. If you need anything, just say it."

"I, I want..." Chu Chi's throat moved. He had never felt that a request was so difficult to say.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before finally finishing the second half of the sentence, "I want to go home."

"go home?"

"Yes, go back to my home in Huailing."

After getting started, the next words seemed to be much easier. Chu Chi spontaneously explained without waiting for Xuan Wei to ask.

"It's my grandma's death anniversary in a few days, and I want to go back to pay homage."

When Mrs. Li mentioned the beginning of winter yesterday, he remembered that the death anniversary of the grandmother he had never met was after the beginning of winter.

When grandpa was still alive, he would take him to worship every year.

He promised grandpa that even if one day... grandpa is gone, he will go there in his stead.

Moreover, he also wanted to go back and see his grandpa.

However, with his current situation, it was obvious that he couldn't go alone.

He hesitated for a long time, thinking that maybe Xuan Wei was in a good mood and asked Sister-in-law Li to accompany him. He also thought that Xuan Wei would think that he had to go too far and refuse him. After all, he was a person who was being raised in vain and had no right to make demands.

I just never thought about it...

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Such a crisp answer.

There was no hesitation.

It even gave him the illusion that no matter what he asked for, she would agree to him.

Chu Chi was stunned there, and it took him a long time to find his voice.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that his throat was unusually dry, "Will it... trouble you?"

Xuan Wei sighed: "It's quite troublesome." After all, she preferred salted fish paralysis to running around.

When Chu Chi heard this, his expression froze for a moment.

But then I heard her mutter vaguely, "Who told me to owe you anything?"

……

Until three days later, when Xuan Wei took Chu Chi on the bus to Huailing County, he still didn't understand what the phrase "owed him" meant.

He could only give up exploring this issue for the time being.

The distance from the city center to Huailing County is not far, but it is a bit detoured.

When he got off the car near his destination and Xuan Wei pulled him through the alley and turned the intersection into the familiar courtyard, he suddenly thought of a new question.

Although he told the driver his approximate address when he got on the bus, the streets and alleys here are in all directions, and the house number is difficult to find. Most strangers would have to walk around several times to find out clearly. How could Miss Xuan find his home so accurately? ?

This familiar posture of heading straight for the target without hesitation was as if... she had walked through it many times before.

When Chu Chi changed his mind, Xuan Wei had already reached out to him: "Give me the key."

Chu Chi suppressed the question in his mind, took out the key from his pocket and handed it over.

As soon as the door of the main room was opened, a burst of dusty rotten air rushed in.

Xuan Wei asked him to stand at the door for a while, waiting for the smell to dissipate, before taking him in.

The furniture in the house, which had been unoccupied for a long time, was covered with a light layer of dust.

Xuan Wei followed Chu Chi's instructions and found unused incense candles and paper money in the cabinet next to the sofa.

"Want to sit for a while first? Or should we go now?"

Although Xuan Wei's tone was cold and indifferent, the meaning behind his words made people feel just the right amount of respect and consideration, without any self-righteous pity or impatience.

Chu Chi was silent for a moment and said, "Go now." Staying here for a long time will only make him think back to the past.

So, the two of them packed up their things and headed back to the mountain.

Climbing a mountain is no different than walking. Along the way, Xuan Wei held him firmly and reminded him from time to time to prevent him from falling.

The hand holding his was obviously slender and soft, not even as big as his, but it could give people an unparalleled sense of security.

The warmth continued to spread upwards, accumulating little by little in the heart, and then brewing a strange emotion until it densely covered the entire heart, diluting the depression caused by memories.

He felt that the journey was surprisingly smooth, but he couldn't see it. As Xuan Wei's other hand placed in front of him calmly waved, the gravel that was originally lying in front of him actually rolled to the side. Those clinging people The weeds and shrubs also automatically separated a path for them.

When he reached the halfway point of the mountain and saw the two tombstones, Xuan Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and silently adjusted the amount of spiritual power he had just spent.

Chu Chi knelt down in front of the tombstone, stretched out his hand to fumble around, and seemed to accidentally knock over something, which made a clanging sound when it hit the tombstone.

Before he could ask any questions, Xuan Wei said, "It's a wine bottle."

"Wine bottle?" Chu Chi murmured in confusion, and then thought of something, his brows widened, "Maybe Uncle Yan has been here."

When grandpa was still alive, every time Uncle Yan came to the house, the two of them liked to drink some wine while chatting about the past.

Chu Chi took out the incense sticks and paper money from the bag. Xuan Wei took the initiative to light them and placed the lit incense in front of the two tombs.

Chu Chi kowtowed three times.

After kowtowing, he was still kneeling and Xuan Wei stood quietly behind him without speaking or urging him.

Xuan Wei stayed with Chu Chi for nearly half an hour.

It wasn't until Chu Chi stood up that he stumbled obviously that she helped him in time.

Her breath brushed against his ears, light and comforting.

"Where else do you want to go?"

Chu Chi paused, then opened his lips and said softly, "Go to No. [-] Middle School."

……

"Are you looking for Lao Yan? Alas, something happened at home. He hasn't come to school for many days. He asked me to take his place." The man in the guard uniform sighed.

"What's going on? It seems that his son owed a loan shark and was approached by debt collectors. His daughter-in-law got divorced a while ago, and the neighbors knew about it."

"You want to go find him? Hey, don't blame me for talking too much. I advise you not to get involved in other people's housework. And the debt collectors are not easy to mess with. They are all vicious. If you bump into them, you might be killed. I’m stuck with you!”

"Okay, okay, then I'll ask for leave and lead you the way. Young people, you just don't listen to advice... If you regret it later, don't blame me for not reminding you!"

……

In an old-style small Western-style building on South Street of the county seat.

From time to time there were sounds of smashing and yelling.

Yan Xingmin held his granddaughter in his arms and covered her ears tightly to prevent her from hearing those insulting words.

"Old man, when I said I would give you two days of grace, how many days has it been? Huh? I haven't seen a single one of you until now!"

"I'm a moneylender, not a philanthropist!"

"Don't blame me for being cruel. If you want to blame me, blame Yan Bing. He actually dared to leave his whole family and run away. If I don't look for you, who will I look for?"

"I'll leave it here. If you don't pay back the money today, you will mortgage this house to me. Otherwise..." the man holding the cigarette smiled sinisterly, "I will mortgage your granddaughter to me!"
