Chapter 1457 The residence in the old forest in the deep mountains
"Those are all legends. How could they exist in reality?" Conan looked at the house, "But it's really strange. There are no other lights, which means there is only that house nearby, but it is built in such a deep mountain and old forest...
…”
In the car, Haiyuan Ai's expression became gloomy and strange, and he said in a gentle tone, "It's like saying, 'Come here, come here'..."
"ah!"
The three children hugged each other and screamed again.
Dr. A Li: "..."
Originally, he had three children, including one who had just grown up and two "older children" who were actually 17 or 18 years old. He imagined that the older children would take good care of the younger ones, which would save him a lot of worry.
But throughout the whole day, the three 'big kids' actually took pleasure in playing and scaring the little ones, and even took turns taking turns to fight. What was going on?
But when he thought that Xinyi was okay and could be childish occasionally, Xiao Ai and Fei Chi, who had always been cold and indifferent, suddenly became interested in doing something... Although it was not right to scare children, it was rare for them to be active, so he felt
There shouldn't be anything to say. Both of us are sensitive people, so a misunderstanding wouldn't be good.
Oh, forget it, just be scared. This is also one of the ways to promote friendship. At worst, he will help monitor the situation and intervene appropriately.
It's not easy to be a guardian leading a team.
…
Ten minutes later, in front of the forest cabin.
Chi Feichi stood in the yard with a calm face.
The three children were either tugging on Chi Feichi's clothes or hugging Chi Feichi's thighs, like three pendants hanging on Chi Feichi's body, looking around nervously.
"If you stay where you are, you may encounter the ghosts of children, and if you come here, you may encounter the mountain demon mother-in-law," Yuantai said on the verge of tears. "It's so difficult to choose. I haven't decided yet."
Mitsuhiko looked at the single-family house and swallowed, "I, I also think it would be better for us to think about it again."
"Please, we're already here, and isn't this house beautiful? According to legend, the mountain demon Granny lives in a dilapidated thatched house, so don't worry!" Conan comforted, preparing to knock on the door, thinking in his heart
Malicious comments.
Rather than that, he thought it would be better to worry about the people living here. Something happened to the people Chi Feichi was staying at...
Hui Yuan Ai stood next to Chi Feichi, folding his arms with a leisurely expression, and joked, "I, the forest princess, will also protect you."
"But doesn't Granny Mountain Demon know how to hold a kitchen knife?" Bumi worried, "Xiao Ai doesn't have any weapons."
Haibara Ai:"……"
Do you really think of her as a forest soul fighting against the mountain demon Granny?
Guangyan felt cowardly to rely on a girl to protect him so much. He gritted his teeth, let go of Chi Feichi's hand at the corner of his clothes, and took a step forward, "No, there's no need for Haiyuan, I..."
From the small room next to her, a short, stooped old woman with sparse white hair came out. Her face covered with age spots looked a little gloomy in the dim light. She held a long kitchen knife for killing fish in her hand.
He stuck out his tongue and licked the blade of the knife, then asked with a smile, "You just mentioned that Granny Mountain Demon's kitchen knife is like this, isn't it?"
"ah!"
"Grandma the mountain witch!"
The three children screamed and hung on Chi Feichi again.
Dr. A Li laughed inwardly, why even the elderly are amusing themselves by scaring children today.
Conan was shocked, but he firmly believed that there were no ghosts in the world, so he quickly recovered and asked, "Old lady, do you live here?"
The old woman put down the kitchen knife and said, "Yes."
"Can you let us stay here for one night?" Conan raised his head and smiled sweetly, "Our car has a flat tire and there is no way we can leave."
"Puncture?" The old woman was a little surprised, "In a place like this?"
Dr. A Li came back to his senses and explained with an apologetic look, "I'm very sorry to make such a rude request to you, but we were originally going to the camping ground, but we took the wrong way. When we didn't know what to do,
, I saw your house, so..."
"You could have just said no... I was chopping pickles in that hut when I suddenly heard voices. I thought you were kiddos who came down from the mountain to cause trouble in the fields, so I wanted to scare you," the old woman said with her hands behind her back.
He took the kitchen knife and walked into the house, "If you don't mind, please come in, but there is nothing good to entertain you here."
"Thank you very much." Dr. Ali followed with a group of people.
Mitsuhiko entered the house and stood under the light, feeling a lot more relaxed. "In the luggage bag that the doctor brought, there seems to be some ingredients for cooking at the camping site, right? Then I can ask Brother Chi to make some."
which kind of food."
"Gululu..."
Yuantai's stomach rumbled, and when he saw other people looking over, he scratched his head and laughed, "My stomach is almost starving."
Huiyuan Ai expressed his understanding. She felt hungry, not to mention Yuantai. She turned to the old woman and asked, "But is the only family here like the mother-in-law?"
"All the residents here used to move away and live in the city," the old woman sighed, "Now I am the only family left."
Conan saw that at the entrance, in addition to the old women and their shoes, slippers, and a pair of large slippers, he asked curiously, "Is there anyone else at the old lady's house?"
"No, it's just me." The old woman put on her slippers.
Dr. A Li hesitated, "But these slippers at the door..."
"Those are my grandson Shota's slippers." The old woman looked back at the slippers at the door, her expression not very good, "But he ran away from home ten years ago when he wanted to be a chef or something. At that time, he was so
Just take them off and leave. I didn't put away his slippers specifically. You can wear them if you want. As for slippers, there are a lot of slippers in the shoe cabinet next to you."
"No," Dr. Ali quickly explained awkwardly, "I didn't ask you because I wanted to wear it."
It seemed that the pair of slippers were left by the old woman for her grandson. She said it carelessly, but she still hoped that her grandson would come back one day. She was a typical hard-spoken but soft-hearted person.
Even the three smart little kids noticed this, so no one would touch the slippers.
Mitsuhiko and Genta arrived at the shoe cabinet, opened the shoe cabinet, and helped others get suitable slippers.
"This belongs to Haiyuan and Ayumi..."
"Doctor and Brother Chi..."
"And Conan, your..."
Conan looked at the two busy people and was stunned for a moment before thanking them.
Mitsuhiko changed his slippers and found a photo on the shoe cabinet. He curiously looked at the mushroom-headed boy in the photo wearing a high school uniform and posing with the old woman, "Is this the grandson of the old woman?"
"Yes, he is Shota," the old woman stepped forward and looked at the photo, her tone still unhappy, "but this inhumane boy has not even sent a letter back in ten years, and has never come back to see him.
I, I think he must have become some great chef now, so he sends me a large amount of money every month, but I am too lazy to use the money of such a heartless person!"
After changing her shoes, Ayumi looked up and saw the big fish tank in the living room. She was surprised to see the big goldfish swimming around in it, "Ah, it's a goldfish!"
The old woman looked up and said, "This also belongs to my grandson. He actually left such a troublesome thing to me..."
"But these goldfish are really big," Mitsuhiko said after changing his shoes, he came closer to take a look, "much bigger than the ones raised by Dr. Haihara at home!"
The old woman turned around and said, "These fish have lived for more than ten years, so of course they are big."
"Are you planning to fatten them up and then eat them?" Yuantai asked.
"Eating all day long, Genta, you are no different from the mountain demon Granny, right? Ke..." Mitsuhiko said speechlessly, turned to ask Conan, and suddenly saw a person in the gap of the unclosed door.
The black shadow looking into the room was startled, "Ahhhh..."
"What's wrong?" Haiyuan Ai quickly looked at Guangyan.
Mitsuhiko pointed to the crack in the door with a horrified look on his face, "Just now, someone seemed to be looking here through the crack in the door just now!"
"What?" the old woman wondered, "Who would come to a place like this to peek?"
Chi Feichi turned around, stepped forward and opened the door.
Ayumi stared at the door worriedly, "Wait, wait..."
Standing outside the door were a woman and two men, young and fashionably dressed. When they saw Chi Feichi, they were stunned at the same time.
Others in the room let out a long sigh of relief.
"Hello..." The handsome young man wearing a gray-blue knitted hat looked at Chi Feichi and asked hesitantly, "Is the owner of the house here?"
Conan looked at the young man suspiciously.
Strange, how could this person be so sure that Brother Chi is not the owner of this house?
Chi Feichi turned to look at the old woman who came forward.
"What do you want from me?" the old woman asked, staring at the three of them.
"I'm sorry," the young woman frowned, looked at Chi Feichi, her brows softened, "The three of us originally wanted to come to this mountain to bathe in the forest, but we accidentally got lost."
Next to him, a man with a beard, looking mature and melancholy looked helpless and said, "Even the car is out of gas."
The young man wearing a knitted hat looked much more lively and cheerful, and said with a smile, "If possible, can we stay here for the night?"
The old woman stared at the man in the knitted hat and said nothing.
"By the way, we are not suspicious people," the young man pointed to himself and said, "My name is Kahara Fuga."
"My name is Da Tingxi..." When the young woman saw Chi Feichi turning around and entering the room, she seemed too lazy to pay attention to them, frowned, and quickly smiled, "My father runs a financial club, so he can't be a bad person.
"
In the room, Hui Yuan Ai looked at the woman, then at his brother who had a cold face but was considered outstanding among handsome men, and silently evaluated her.
This Miss Da Ting is not very cute, and she shows a little arrogance inadvertently, but her arrogance is a bit superficial. She doesn't like it very much, and her family is probably not cold either...
The melancholic and mature man looked at Oba Qian, and probably guessed some of Oba Qian's thoughts, and smiled, "My name is Mr. An, and I work in customer service in Tokyo."
"Hahahaha..." Da Tingqian couldn't help laughing, "I am that customer."
Conan: "..."
That's the so-called male waiter. In layman's terms, he is a cowherd, right?
Haibara Ai:"……"
This...when she didn't think about anything just now.
"Please, just one night is enough!" Xiangyuan Fengya bent down and said to the old woman.
The old woman retracted her gaze from Xiangyuan Fengya, snorted coldly, turned around and walked in, "Huh... I'll let you stay here tonight, but don't even think about stepping through this threshold for the second time!"
The three people at the door were stunned. Da Tingqian muttered dissatisfiedly, "What? I feel like my attitude is really bad."
Xiangyuan Fengya turned to Oba Akane and smiled, "She doesn't seem to be in a good mood."
"Forget it," Da Tingqian suppressed the anger on her face and walked in the door with a nonchalant tone, "Who asked Fengya to drive and get lost and come to a place like this? Since you are here, just be nice."
"I'm so sorry," Xiangyuan Fuga followed with a smile, "My eldest lady!"
