The matter of "dieting" did not attract objections from everyone.
The patriarch made a decision, and everyone else bowed their heads. As a foreigner, Sidelle couldn't say a few more words.
Seventeen was led by two maids and led away from the patriarch's residence.
Go to the Ruins God's Residence they called.
A group of guards surrounded it, as if they were going to follow the witch and guard the entrance and exit of "Xu Shenju".
Sidel took a few glances, and when she looked at the patriarch again, she only saw his serious face, a bit haggard and uneasy, as if he was worried.
But after noticing Sidelle's gaze, he quickly recovered his previous majesty, walked down, and nodded to Sidelle: "Mr. Seventeen, it's getting late, you should go back to your room to rest first."
After saying this, the patriarch left the lobby with his hands behind his back.
The patriarch's house is very large, and there is an entire courtyard behind it. The house that "Mr. Seventeen" borrowed is in the backyard of the patriarch's house.
Of course Sidel did not go back to the bedroom to rest as he said.
She followed up in a few steps, and began to ask the patriarch for key information——
Such as Xushen Village, witches, offering sacrifices...
But Sidelle soon discovered that no matter what she said, the village head just sighed and shook his head.
Asking the same question too much, the patriarch would cast a surprised look, as if it was very strange why a resident of "Seventeen" would gossip like this.
Sidel didn't get any valuable information from the patriarch. She stood in the courtyard of the patriarch's house for a while, looked up at the darkening sky, and decided not to go out for a stroll, and looked through the patriarch's house first.
After exchanging identities with Seventeen, on the way back, Sidelle had gone around the bend and walked through the general layout of the entire village.
Xushen Village is really not that big, there are only about thirty or forty families.
But it seems that it is not an easy task to piece together the truth about the demise of Xushen Village from so many families.
and……
That old stuff doesn't even feed witches!
In case when she pulls out the clues and goes back to rescue Shi Qi, if the man is so hungry that he doesn't even have the strength to walk, how can he get out of this damn place.
She might not even move her back.
The old thing, the patriarch of Xushen Village, doesn't look like a good guy at first glance...!
The patriarch walked away shaking his head.
Sidelle stared at his back from behind, the patriarch took two steps, couldn't hold back, and sneezed.
"What's going on?" The patriarch murmured strangely.
Then took two steps, and another sneeze.
Patriarch: "..."
Could it be that you don't wear enough clothes?
He hurried to the house quickly.
Sidelle didn't start to act until the patriarch completely left her sight.
The patriarch's house has a large courtyard, but there are not many servants. She went around the mansion twice and visited the entire courtyard before catching a maidservant.
The maid was kicking clogs, wearing a traditional kimono, with her black hair in a bun, revealing a fair neck.
She lowered her head, holding a wooden plate in her hand, and walked down the corridor with small steps.
After Sidel stepped forward to talk to her, she not only knew the location of the room where "Seventeen" lived from the maidservant, but also knew that she was bringing dinner to herself.
"This is newly made food in the kitchen, please enjoy."
After returning to the room, the maid bowed her head and placed the wooden plate in front of Sidel in a respectful manner.
Her demeanor revealed traditional etiquette, and she looked a little elegant, as if she was serving some precious food.
Sidelle was not in the mood to eat at first, but she was somewhat curious by this set of traditional moves.
Then she lifted the lid off the tray and saw—
A small bowl of rice is pitifully small, about the size of a fist.
A bowl of clear water, a small dish of dried radish, and a few small sardines with a fishy smell.
Gone.
Sidelle: "..."
She raised her head and quietly looked at the maid in front of her.
The maid quietly bowed her head and said nothing, as if she was going to wait for the "honored guest" in front of her to finish her meal, then pack up the tableware and take it back to the kitchen.
In the air, the atmosphere of silence spread for half a minute.
Sidelle couldn't hold back, and said, "I'll... just eat these tonight?"
Is there any difference between eating these things and not eating them? ?
Hearing this, the maid raised her head and looked at Sidelle in confusion, "Yes, Mr. Seventeen, don't you...don't have enough food?"
She seemed a little envious: "This white rice, sardines, and miso soup... are all things that we servants can't eat, and they are usually only used to entertain distinguished guests."
Sidelle: "."
She was silent, but she still couldn't hold back, and said quietly: "This soup really looks like water."
The maid was silent, as if she was thinking about how to reply: "..."
After a few minutes, she realized that she raised her head in panic, "Does your lord think that these foods have neglected you?"
"But, but, you ate the same food as this before!"
Sidel recalled that in the handbook, the original wanderer praised the hospitality of the villagers and the enthusiasm of the patriarch in Xushen Village, and that this place is like a paradise... She couldn't help but began to doubt herself——
Possibly, perhaps, probably, the living conditions in Japan a hundred years ago were so scarce? ?
Sidel blinked, stared at the maidservant's eyes, and asked seriously: "Does the patriarch eat the same food as me?"
The maid was stunned, and shook her head slightly: "No, the patriarch, the patriarch has a separate cooking stove, which is different from you and our servants..."
Sidelle: "Then your patriarch is really not a thing..."
The maid was stunned, her mouth was slightly opened, as if she didn't dare to understand why the distinguished guest in front of her suddenly started cursing, she said in a daze, "Ah?"
Sidelle: "...No, you heard me wrong, I want to say—"
I couldn't hold back just after it was over, and my mouth moved a little faster.
Regarding the fact that he secretly uttered too many obscene words to the patriarch's old bastard behind his back, which resulted in him not being able to hold back his mouth for a while in front of the patriarch's servants——
But it's not a big problem, Sidelle still has a remedy.
"Okay!" Sidelle slapped the table angrily, and decided to preemptively strike: "As the distinguished guest of your Xushen Village, I have been working outside for another day today, and your patriarch will let me eat this kind of food?!"
"This is too unreasonable and inhumane! Do you know how to treat guests? Do you have a heart of benevolence?? Believe it or not, I will tell the society how you abuse foreigners when I go out?!"
Maid: "??"
Her thoughts became confused, her face was full of confusion, and she looked up blankly at Sidelle who angrily patted the table and stood up.
It seems that I can't understand this person at all.
No, or—
The maid has never seen such a shameless person.
Ordinary and confident.
Maid: "You..."
She hesitated to speak, and her expression began to look a little angry.
But Sydel interrupted her.
She stood up, looked down at the maidservant, waved her hand, reluctantly said: "It's okay, I forgive your village for being disrespectful to me..."
"As long as you can make up for your mistakes." Sidel pondered for two seconds, and added: "By the way, your patriarch is still eating right now?"
Maid: "..."
In the end, she pointed a direction to Sidelle.
"The patriarch is dining in the south hall." The maid: "We have no order, so we can't take people there without authorization. Please go to the guest."
Inside and outside the words, there is a reluctance.
"It's okay." Sidel pretended not to hear it, and said with a smile: "Then I will go to have dinner with the patriarch."
"I'm sure he'd welcome me—"
Sidelle's eyes remained unchanged, and the smile on the corner of her lips deepened. She happily went out the door and walked towards the patriarch's dinner.
……
The twilight is all in one, and the moon hangs in the night sky.
Ruins god dwelling.
The so-called Xu Shenju is nothing but a shrine with a complex structure.
Below the shrine, there is also a secret prison.
Seventeen is now in this prison.
There are black chains on his wrists and ankles. The chains are of a certain length and are connected to the iron chair.
The whole person is imprisoned here.
The chain is heavy and the material is rough.
But after hanging for a long time, the original skin was worn out with obvious red marks.
He touched the cold iron lock with his fingertips, raised his head a little bored, and began to be in a daze.
The prison is underground, and Shi Qi sits here, unable to see even the moon.
He was in a daze for a while, and suddenly heard a slight sound coming from the side corridor.
Seventeen looked up and saw the maid walking over.
It's a round-faced girl named "Kako".
Jiazi opened the small door of the prison, opened the plate, put it in, and bowed to Shiqi with an apologetic face: "I'm very sorry, Lord Shenzi!"
"For the sacrifice in seven days, you must lose weight as soon as possible, so I can only provide you with clean water in the future..."
Jiazi bit her lip and comforted her timidly: "However, you don't have to be too depressed. After all, even if you don't go on a diet, you still need to 'purify your body' three days before the sacrifice, and you won't even be able to drink water during those few days gone."
The implication is that it is not bad to still have saliva to drink now.
In a few days, I won't even be able to drink water.
Seventeen: "..."
After Jiazi bowed again, he turned and left the prison.
Shi Qi looked at the only bowl of clear water on the table in front of him and fell silent.
The patriarch made a decision, and everyone else bowed their heads. As a foreigner, Sidelle couldn't say a few more words.
Seventeen was led by two maids and led away from the patriarch's residence.
