[Comprehensive] Coax you to sleep

Taking down the leaves stuck upside down in her hair and a dead branch that was brought out, Makoto Bai Chuan tugged at the corner of Xue Xue's clothes, and asked in a low voice, "When did people live here?"

Xue looked at the small bungalow that had obviously been refurbished, and pursed her lips tightly.She shook her head honestly, feeling a little depressed, "I don't know, no one lived here when I came last time."

"Wait, Xue-chan, when was the last time you came here?" Seeing Xiang smiling at her, Shirakawa Makoto rubbed her nose in embarrassment.

Xue tried her best to think about it, and she replied embarrassingly: "...it seems to be last month..." She herself was not sure about what she said.

"..." Makoto Bai Chuan was speechless, she stared at Yuxue silently for a while, then she turned her head and bowed to Xiang who was looking at this side with a gentle smile on her face, "Very Sorry, we went to the wrong place, we are very sorry to disturb you!"

"It's okay, it's okay, you don't need to do this." Xiang put the kettle on the wooden rail, and he waved his hands quickly, "Are you here to find someone?"

"Yes... no," after a moment of hesitation, Makoto Shirakawa still denied, "We're leaving now, excuse me."

"Well, please wait a moment." Xiang took a few steps forward and stopped Shirakawa Makoto and the other three who turned to leave, "Are you residents living near here?"

"Huh? I guess." Bai Chuan Maxing stopped first, and she turned her head to look at Xiang, whose expression became a little sad, and replied vaguely.

"Do you...recognize Arrietty?" After struggling for a while, Xiang's concern for Arrietty was greater than the possibility of bothering strangers or even getting a strange look.

"You know Lily?!" Bai Chuan Maxing didn't have time to discuss the countermeasures with Xue, and Xue shouted without thinking about it.

Hastily grabbed Xue's wrist who was about to be unable to suppress her anger and turned into a werewolf, Bai Chuan Makoto said at a speed she had never had before: "Snow sauce, calm down! Lily might have moved! You If this happens again, I will ignore you, let the little brother explain the cause and effect of the matter clearly, will you be angry again?!"

After saying all these words in one breath, Shirakawa Makoto, who was about to be suffocated, took a few deep breaths to barely relieve the pain of hypoxia.

Xue's eyes widened, and she puffed up her cheeks angrily.Grinning her teeth and looking at Xiang with unfriendly eyes, it seemed that as soon as the other party said that he had taken Arrietty away, she would pounce on him and bite his throat.

Originally calling Shirakawa Makoto and the others, Xiang also had a fluke mentality, maybe the other party might know Arrietty?

But after calling it, he regretted it. Fortunately, the children in front of him who looked a few years younger than him really knew about Arrietty.

While rejoicing that he didn't miss this opportunity to know Arrietty's current situation, Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking slowly across the three of Shirakawa Makoto, Xiang let out a heavy breath, as if he had vomited out his depression and other negative situations in the past few days.

"Arietty's moving away is actually my responsibility. If I hadn't put the kitchen of the doll's house in Arrietty's house, maybe she wouldn't be discovered by Achun..." I didn't expect that I would do bad things with good intentions Xiang was annoyed and regretted like never before, and his voice lowered as he spoke.

"A Nuo, may I ask who is Ah Chun?" Shirakawa Makoto frowned while tightly grabbing Xue's clothes who were still angry, "Also, do you know where Lily moved to?"

Xiang shook his head, "I don't know," he paused, and answered Bai Chuan Maxing's second question first, "Achun is my servant, after she discovered the lack of the doll's house, she followed the clues to find a place to live." Arrietty's family under my floor."

Looking back now, it was really thrilling, if Arrietty hadn't come to him in time for help.Then Arrietty's mother would be sent to the research institute for research because of his carelessness.

He was also forced to move away from the place where they lived for a long time, and maybe they might encounter some terrible things on the road.Thinking about it this way, feelings of guilt almost flooded Xiang's heart.

"Then do you know which direction Lily and the others are going?" Bai Chuan Maxing turned her head and glanced at Xue who was making small movements, signaling her to calm down.

"They went down the river, and Arrietty didn't ask me to see her off." Xiang was depressed for a while, but soon he regained his energy and told all the information he knew, "Arietty She told me that they were going to go to other tribes of villains with a villain she met on the road."

"Villain tribe?" Bai Chuan Maxing had never heard Arrietty mention this kind of thing to her, at most she just hoped to get to know other villains, "Do you know Snow Sauce?"

Xue raged and pulled back her clothes, turning her head away and pouting.But she was quickly defeated by Bai Chuan Makoto who stared at her without blinking, "I don't know, she didn't tell me the last time I saw Lily, she just said that human beings are clearly It’s not as scary as what parents say.”

"You don't know..." Xiang was a little disappointed, and then he smiled gently to cover up the emotion he just showed, "Thank you very much for your help."

"Eh? No need, we didn't do anything to help you." Suddenly parting from her little friend, Bai Chuan Maxing was not as excited as when she came. A gift for Arrietty, "This, if Lily comes back, please help me give it to her."

The gift Shirakawa Mako brought to Arrietty was a diamond bow hair clip specially for mini dolls, because she saw Arrietty wearing the ordinary clip for drying clothes all the time.

So she made a note of it and ran to find this kind of small hairpin, intending to give it to Arrietty, expecting the other party's surprised expression after seeing the hairpin.

What she never expected was that Arrietty would move before she came, and she couldn't give Arrietty as a farewell gift, which made Shirakawa Makoto very frustrated.

"Okay, if Arrietty comes back, I will give it to her." Since he hadn't talked to strangers for a long time, Xiang was a little timid, and he mustered up the courage to ask again, "Can you tell me your names? ?”

"Sure. My name is Bai Chuan Ma Xing. This one is Yu, and she is Xue. We live halfway up the mountain." Bai Chuan Ma Xing's attitude compared with the silent Yu and Xiang Xue who couldn't get used to Xiang. Too kind.

"Okay, okay! Goodbye then." Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Achun's plaid apron, and Xiang couldn't help frowning. He waved to Shirakawa Makoto and ran back into the bungalow. .

***

After returning in vain, Bai Chuan Ma Xing and the three had nowhere to go, so they had to temporarily return to Xue's house to avoid the dizzy sun shining outside.

Borrowing Hua's landline to call Grandma Bai Chuan, after lunch, Bai Chuan Maxing and Xue lay on the low table like a dried salted fish, motionless.

Suddenly, the air became humid.A wave of moisture spread in the empty room, sticking sticky to the person's body, bringing a little sultry heat.

The wind that blows is moist, which makes the snow that likes dry and damp a little uncomfortable.Looking up at the sky again, dark clouds piled up in the sky, and the sky and the earth darkened instantly.

After a while, the sky seemed to be unable to bear the weight of the water accumulated in the clouds, and it poured down, connecting the ends of the sky and the earth.

The rain is like broken beads, one drop after another.A hazy mist rose up, cutting off all the colors of the scene.

Xue's house is facing the rolling and winding mountains, and the scenery there is particularly beautiful when looking through the rain curtain.

The washed green green hills were hidden in the curling white mist, and suddenly a sparrow came flying in to shelter from the rain outside the window.The little guy tilted his head and looked at the three of Bai Chuan Ma Xing who were sitting inside for a while, then suddenly started chirping.

The sound of rain outside the window and the sound of birds inside the house are crisp.Isn't this a good time for people to take a nap at the right time and place?

Thinking of this, Makoto Shirakawa, who was urged to sleep, immediately straightened up and pushed Yuki a few times to follow the whistling electric fan to turn her body.

"Xue, do you have a pillow?" Bai Chuan Maxing didn't want to sleep on the cushion that countless people sat on, so she had to trouble Xue.

Tilting her head, Xue bent her whole body, she lazily replied: "Yes, I'll let Yu take it for you." Then, she stretched out her foot and kicked Yu who was sitting there playing with building blocks.

Yu didn't get angry when he was pushed, and his face still had that faint expression of not being able to care about anything.He silently glanced at Shirakawa Makoto, stood up and ran into the back room to take out a pink pillow with floral flowers.

"Thank you Mr. Yu." Taking the pillow, Bai Chuan Makoto raised the corners of her lips.Put the pillow on the tatami, lie down on the spot, and fell asleep after a while.

***

Waking up again was when Shirakawa Makoto heard a 'crack' being opened and the sound of the door, and then there was a sound of footsteps, and after the footsteps stopped, the sound of flowers was in the air rang.

The clothes that were wet by the rain kept dripping rainwater, Hua held them in her arms, and her chest was instantly wet.

Putting the soaked clothes on the ground, Hua felt a little helpless, "You two, it's raining outside, can't you help me put away the clothes for my mother? Look, how wet are the clothes washed today?"

Xue blinked, stared at Hua innocently for more than ten seconds, and pursed her lips, "I know mom, next time it rains, I will accept it."

In fact, it wasn't that Xue didn't want to collect it, it was that she had completely forgotten that there were still clothes drying outside.After all, Hua was responsible for collecting clothes before, and she only helped out occasionally.

Let Xue remember to help her put away her clothes next time, Hua turned her head and looked at Bai Chuan Ma Xing with sleepy eyes, "Xing Jiang, how are you going to go home next time? Otherwise, you will sleep here at night, right?"

"Eh?" Bai Chuan Maxing realized that the lights in the house had been turned on, and then turned to look at the clock hanging on the wall. It was already past 06:30.

Although the rain outside had lightened a lot, it was already too dark to see the road ahead.

Bai Chuan Maxing was a little stunned, she would sleep for so long, she scratched her cheek, "Can I live here?"

"Of course, you are very welcome." Hua smiled slightly, and walked over to straighten the teapot that was accidentally knocked over by the rain.

"But..." Bai Chuan Maxing still had some concerns, this was the first time she stayed at a friend's house.

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly saw a man in the rain covering a white man walking towards them holding a black umbrella, and unconsciously stopped talking slowly.
