Sidelle took the wooden chopsticks and spoons and followed the direction pointed by the maid to the South Hall.

"crunch-"

She carelessly pushed the door open and smelled the aroma of food.

"Good evening." Sidelle greeted the patriarch with a smile, and approached the patriarch familiarly.

Seeing that there were no other seats at the table, she dragged a futon from the side and sat down next to the table naturally.

This set of actions is extremely skillful, like flowing clouds and flowing water, done in one go.

Sidelle first glanced at the food on the table.

In addition to white rice, pickled mustard, and pickled radish, there are thick and milky fish soup, taro radish stew, fried shrimp, noodle cakes, and steamed tempura...

It looks very rich.

Sidelle took out her own tableware from her body, turned her head and smiled at the stunned patriarch: "Master Patriarch, why don't you continue to eat?"

"Look at how delicious these foods are," she sincerely admired, and reached out to pick up the fish meat with chopsticks and handed it into the patriarch's bowl: "Eat more."

Patriarch: "..."

Servant: "..."

"Does the patriarch not welcome me, an outsider?" Seeing that he didn't move, Sidel sighed: "It's because my visit was too abrupt, but in a foreign land, only seeing you can relieve my sorrowful homesickness Affection."

Patriarch: "..."

Is this called a visit?Who visits with a pinch of food and tableware? ?

Faced with the patriarch's embarrassment, Sidel seemed not to notice it at all, and continued to serve him food with a smile: "Don't be cautious, eat more."

She told the patriarch a little about all the dishes on the table, and did not forget to urge: "You are the master, if you don't keep your mouth shut, I will feel sorry for you, and dare not move your chopsticks."

The corner of the patriarch's mouth twitched, and he smiled: "Haha, then I'll start eating..."

He couldn't drive this person away with a wink, so he had no choice but to sigh full of sorrow.

Sidelle saw him eating the vegetables in the bowl, she smiled slightly: "Then I won't be polite."

When there is food, she must not wrong herself, not to mention that she needs physical strength to explore in this village.

The patriarch who bowed his head and said: "..."

The silent servants: "..."

When did this person become so polite? ?

Sidelle happily started her meal.

Although the taste of the food is not very good, it is better than dried fish and pickled radish with fishy smell and dirt.

The only downside is.

...These tableware are too "delicate", small plates, small dishes and small bowls.

Sidelle had just eaten five percent full, when she looked up, she saw that the dishes in front of her were empty.

This was originally only a meal for one person.

Sidel ate so fast that the patriarch found that the food was gone before he was half full.

He looked at the messy and empty dining table, suppressed his sorrow, sighed, and wanted to send this man away: "Mr. Seventeen, you..."

Before the patriarch finished speaking, Sidelle took the lead.

Sidelle: "Where is the back kitchen of the patriarch's family?"

She smiled shyly and looked at the patriarch with annoyed and shy eyes: "Although I haven't eaten enough, I'm a foreigner after all, and it's not convenient to ask your servant to cook for me again, so I will do it myself Let's cook, don't bother you."

Patriarch: "..."

Still go to his kitchen to cook by yourself?Why is this still kicking your nose on your face?

The patriarch didn't catch his breath, he was stuck in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more he got angry, his smile was stiff, he looked at Sidelle, twitched the corner of his mouth, and wanted to decline politely: "I..."

"I remembered how to get away!" Sidelle was just meaning, she had already figured out the inside and outside of the house.

Seeing that the patriarch was not on the right track, she preemptively struck, and clapped her hands: "You don't need to guide the way, I will go by myself."

"By the way," Sidelle thought for a while, "I've been exercising these days, and I have a relatively big appetite. The patriarch should prepare more food tomorrow."

"In case you don't have enough to eat, it's not good to hurt your spleen and stomach when you're hungry."

After finishing a series of words, Sidelle looked calm, and without waiting for the people in the room to react, she turned and pushed the door out, disappearing into the twilight.

The old patriarch was left dumbfounded by her "self-consciousness".

Sidelle returned to the courtyard, and she quickly touched the kitchen.

There are three stoves in the kitchen.

One is in charge of the servants, one is in charge of the distinguished guests, and the other is in charge of the master of the house.

Sydel went straight to the last stove.

Facing the servant's cautious questioning, she spoke righteously with a clear expression: "The patriarch is kind-hearted. He is afraid that I will be hungry at night, so let me come to the kitchen to get some food."

There was actually a lot of food left on the third stove.

The style is freshly ground, no different from what the patriarch ate.

The cook was on the side, and introduced to Sidel with trepidation: "These foods are all prepared for the madam and the young master..."

Sidelle nodded thoughtfully.

Oh, it turned out to be dinner for the patriarch's wife and son.

She thought briefly for half a second, and happily made a decision.

The cook's eyes widened, and she saw that this foreigner, who was staying at the patriarch's house, blatantly started to eat the dinner of the wife and the young master in front of their servants——

Take it away in your arms!

Sidelle picked and picked, a little dissatisfied, she thought for a while, then turned to ask the cook in a low voice: "Doesn't the patriarch's family eat meat?"

Sidelle remembered that when she came in, she saw the circle of chicken coops next to the mansion.

Those pheasants seem to be very strong.

The soup from the firm pheasant should be delicious too...

Roast chicken is also good.

There are several, at least enough for her to eat for a week.

She thought about it for a while, but saw the cook shaking her head again and again: "That's not okay, those chickens are raised to watch the door—"

The cook saw Sidel's eyes and said in horror: "The chicken is used to announce the door. If someone enters or leaves the patriarch's house at night, the chicken will announce. This is used to protect the safety of the mansion, and it must not be killed. eat meat."

Sidelle was startled: "..."

what? !

Those chickens chirp at night?

Then she has to find a way to steal those chickens! !

Sidelle, who was about to act secretly at night, began to think about how to deal with those watchdogs, while nodding in response to the anxious and fearful instructions of the cook.

The cook looked terrified of her going to steal the chicken, and her reaction to her taking away the food from the patriarch's wife and son was not so strong.

After Sidel finished packing the food, she also got the information.

She returned to the room contentedly.

the other side.

The cook trembled and reported to the patriarch: "That guest, he, he took away the food for the wife and the young master..."

Patriarch: "...all of them are taken away?"

The cook hesitated for a moment: "There are still some left."

She thought for a while, and added: "The rest is soup, water, and it should be difficult to handle, so he didn't take it away."

The cook timidly said: "Madam and young master may be hungry tonight..."

The patriarch sighed in pain.

Not to mention his wife and son, he is still hungry now.

That foreigner...not only shameless, but also a thief.

Why did he keep this kind of person in his home? ?

The patriarch was regretting his mistakes, when he suddenly heard the cook say, "There is, there is—"

He was suddenly alert: "What else?"

The cook's eyes were a bit frightened, and she said: "Guest, guest, he still wants to kill the chicken at the door to eat meat!!"

The patriarch was shocked: "What!"

Hearing the growling in his belly, he couldn't help feeling sad and regretted it: "What the hell did I do..."

How could you provoke such a thing home!

He just rubbed rice, but now he has lost his morals, and he will not let go of the chicken! !

Sydel returned to the room with a bag full of food.

She didn't come out of the room until all the servants rested in the mansion, and took a few futons as footsteps, and climbed out from the wall of the backyard.

Since the rooster at the front door crows, Sidel naturally cannot leave through the door.

At least not now.

There are one, two, three or four chickens in the chicken coop, and when she finds a chance to catch them, she can walk through the front door in the dead of night without climbing over the wall.

Leaving the patriarch's house, Sidel found the so-called "Ruins God's Residence" following her daytime memories.

It is a shrine.

Shiqi should have been brought here, but she took a look at it from a distance, and found that the structure inside the shrine was simple, and there were guards changing shifts around the outside.

It's not that you can't enter from the front, but if you do that, you'll have to attack the guards... Sidel was worried about scaring the snake, so she went around to the back of the shrine, walked down the wall of the building, and found that a part of the earth wall behind was a little loose up.

She pondered for a while, and began to dig the wall with a crowbar——

Now the night is dark, there are no stars and moons in the sky, and there is no light around.Whenever there was someone on patrol, Sidelle quietly hid in the blind corner of the bushes.

After some operations, she really secretly dug a hole in his expression.

Sidelle has a slender figure, she gestured a few times, and got in quite satisfied.

This is a small living room in the shrine.

It was empty, dark, empty, and the door was locked from the outside.

Sidelle came in and looked around, and suddenly realized why the door was locked. There was a stone slab in a corner of the living room, and the slate was locked on the floor.

She took out some things that she had prepared in the patriarch's mansion from her bosom——

These include gadgets for picking locks.

It was still the lockpicking tip I got from Shi Qi.

"Clap clap clap..."

A few minutes later, Sidelle successfully picked the lock.

Sidelle looked around and found that there was no one approaching outside the living room for the time being, only guards were patrolling the access road a few meters away.

She didn't hesitate anymore, and leaned over and got in.

……

Underground is a dark corridor.

It was pitch black and there was no light, and only after walking forward for a few meters, a white halo appeared, and faintly glowing night pearls were attached to the rough stone walls.

This kind of wealth is too different from the poverty and backwardness shown in Shenxu Village.

Sidelle couldn't help being slightly surprised.

The copper lamp was still on her body, but she had been hiding it very well and had not been discovered by the villagers.

Something told her that if someone found out that the lamp was in her hands, something... extremely bad would happen.

After walking for a few minutes, she saw an iron fence.

Seems like a prison.

A prison for confinement.

Sidelle couldn't help frowning slightly, a delicate mood emerged.

The people of Xushen Village seem to respect their witches very much, but apart from this respect, they can tolerate them being shackled, forbidden to eat, and imprisoned in prison...

Miko, to them, what exactly does it represent?

Sidelle walked forward with light steps while thinking quickly.

Soon, she saw Shi Qi through the cold iron fence.

Shi Qi heard the movement and raised his head. He thought it might be a maidservant or a guard, but what he saw... was a person he didn't expect to come here.

His face was flat, but his eyes were slightly surprised.

Sidelle... found a way to leave so quickly?

However, the next thing he saw, Sydelle's eyes lit up, she put her hand into the lap of the wide gray shirt, and took out a small package.

"That," Sidel glanced at Shi Qi, lowered her head and unfolded the package, revealing the steamed tempura pancakes inside, she lifted the small iron window, and happily pushed the food in: "You Didn't eat anything today? I brought you this from the patriarch's house, and it tastes pretty good."

To be precise, it was brought from the patriarch's wife and children's dinner.

The cloth package was unfolded, revealing the tempura-wrapped noodles. The noodles were snow-white with a few slices of green onions sandwiched in them. The tempura was soft and golden-yellow, and it looked good.

Sydel looked expectantly at Seventeen.

The soft eyelashes of the young man in the maiden costume trembled slightly, and he looked up, seemingly surprised for a moment.

His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say——

"You don't need to thank me." Sidelle raised her eyebrows and said, "After all, you went to jail because of me, so naturally I won't let you go hungry."

Seventeen: "..."

He looked at the blond girl who seemed to be very pleased and smiled happily at him.

What he wanted to say could only be silently stopped on his lips.

The young man's eyes turned silently to the food again.

He was stunned for a few seconds.

Seeing that Seventeen was not moving, Sydel couldn't help urging him: "Why don't you eat? Eat quickly."

Does this person have a cleanliness?

Shi Qi glanced at her, seemed to hesitate a few times, and finally stretched out his hand, and under the girl's eagerly looking eyes, his fingertips touched the bread wrapped in coarse cloth.

Seventeen: "You..."

He looked up at Sidelle, but the blond girl's eyes were full of interest, and she was staring at him intently, as if she was looking forward to seeing him eat.

Holding the bread, he was a little dazed.

After being dazed for a while, she still couldn't resist Sidel's gaze, silently lowered her head and opened her mouth.

took a bite.

In fact, the taste of the food itself is not very good, and it is even more difficult to describe when it is cold.

However, Seventeen originally had no requirements for diet.

His eyelashes were drooping, and the soft eyelashes cast a slightly trembling shadow on the eyelids, and he ate the bread one bite at a time.

Eat seriously.

Seeing that Seventeen finally started eating properly, Sidelle nodded in satisfaction.

She took a few glances at Shiqi, who was seriously eating the bread, and felt that the more she looked at him, the more pleasing he was to her eyes.

Sidelle thought for a while and said seriously: "Although there is only this one now, I will bring you a roast chicken tomorrow."

Tomorrow will not eat so shabby.

Anyway, sooner or later, the patriarch's chicken will be planted in her hands. It's just a matter of resource utilization. If it can't be stewed into chicken soup, it can be used as a beggar's chicken.

Seventeen: "..."

His eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he finally swallowed the last bite of bread, looked up, looked at Sidelle, and was about to speak——

Sidelle eagerly pushed the cloth bag in again, and stared at him deeply: "There are still a few more, don't waste them, eat them all."

You can only eat one meal a day, and you can't starve people.

Shi Qi's eyes paused slightly on Sidel, as if he couldn't say a word, he hesitated: "I..."

Sidel frowned, and the girl Barabara spoke quickly when she called: "Aren't you full? Eat quickly, I can't stay for too long—"

Xidel was still rushing to leave, and she couldn't leave the bag here, lest other people find out that she had contacts with Shi Qi.

She stared at Seventeen carefully.

Seventeen: "..."

He moved his lips, finally gave up talking, closed his eyes silently, lowered his head, and continued to eat the bread.

Shi Qi kept eating with his head down, and did not meet Sydel's eyes. Sydel looked at him for a while to make sure that the man would finish the food, then got up and looked to the other end of the corridor: "I'll go and see What's attached there?"
