When the first snow fell in the secret territory, Song Xi and Feizhu estimated that it was nine o'clock in the morning.
It's time to go back, the past six months have felt like a long and fulfilling vacation.
Just like many people who work hard in the city go back to their mansions in the countryside for a few days before returning to the city during the New Year.
The two of them washed the sheets, dried the quilts, cleaned, and sorted and put everything away. There was always a feeling that they would come back and relax at any time.
Looking at the neat little bamboo house, the two closed the door.
Feizhu actually felt tired as if he had to fight in the city again. Before he could savor this feeling, Song Xi said "Let's go" and turned on the key.
A burst of light flashed, and the secret realm and the small bamboo building slowly dissipated like a dream.
Watching the people coming and going outside the door, it felt like a world away. It was just one night, and I had already crossed two worlds mentally.
Fox and Song Qing were having breakfast. When they saw the two coming out, Fox got up and went to a small shop on the street to buy two more portions.
The four of them slurped porridge, chewed mustard shreds, and ate steamed buns. It was a simple and smooth breakfast.
"After eating Song Xi's porridge breakfast for half a year, I finally tasted something different." Feizhu sighed.
There are still places worth cherishing outside, he thought.
"If you don't go, I think she usually only eats mice and cat food, and is too lazy to do anything." The fox complained.
"It's time to eat." Although Song Xi ate mice himself, he still felt a little nauseous when he heard this and stopped him.
"Sister Xi, this is your cat's incarnation, right? It's only been a few days since you got the golden elixir. What a three-day separation." Song Qing remembered his previous comment about his single-digit combat effectiveness.
"I take back what I said before."
"That's right, it doesn't matter who the master is." The fox said proudly.
"I am just the cabbage poured out by Xiaoling's tons of chemical fertilizers. Without her, I would probably be accompanying that 103 now?" Song Xi nodded in agreement.
"By the way, how is that 103?" Song Xi asked Song Qing.
"It's only been the past two days. The junior brother in the Taoist temple said that Grandma Zhang is not feeling well. You should go back first. We will come back when we are done." Song Qing said to the two of them.
Song Xi couldn't sit still at that time, so she picked up her mobile phone and booked the nearest flight.
Feizhu took out the bag and the little ceramic foxes that the fox had given him before and gave them back to the fox. The fox said you can keep them, I still have them here, and he took a few more little foxes and stuffed them into Song Xi's hand.
"Has our emotional IP started releasing figurines?" Song Xi looked at it curiously, "Don't tell me, it's exactly the same as yours."
"It's used for escaping in times of danger. If you break it, you can come back here." Fox replied, "How about we make a batch of figures, including not only foxes, but also fat cats." Fox's business thinking was ignited.
"By the way, I may not need to go to the secret realm for the time being. I will return this key to you." Song Xi stretched out his right hand.
"That key is not a physical object, it is a binding of the administrator's identity. There is no need to return it to me." Fox said.
The flying pig's eyes light up, and I can come here whenever I want without having to go in and out through the fox, which is great.
The two said goodbye to Fox and Song Qing, and took a taxi to the airport.
"What kind of illness does Grandma Zhang need to go to see a Taoist priest?" Song Xi had a bad premonition.
"Don't panic yet, let's take a look and then talk." Feizhu reassured.
After taking the plane, we took the bus, and after taking the bus, we took a motorcycle. Finally, we returned to the mountain village in the evening.
Both of them felt like they had been apart for a long time, even though it had only been more than half a month, and strictly speaking it had only been two days.
"Why don't we take grandma to the secret realm? There won't be enough time there." Song Xi suggested.
"Then you'd better bring in the whole mountain village, otherwise grandma will be lonely." Feizhu thought carefully.
"Then forget it." This involves the philosophical question of living happily for one day or being unhappy forever, and she can't answer it yet.
When they returned to the Taoist Temple, Song Xi and Feizhu decided to go back as Abao and Xiaoha. After all, no one here knew them in human form, and it was inconvenient to move around.
Compared with Song Xi who directly transformed into a cat body, Feizhu also directly transformed into a dog body. Song Xi guessed that Feizhu may have written something in the book about switching between human body and dog body at will.
When the people in the Taoist temple saw the familiar cat and dog, they felt that their peaceful mountain village life had become different because of their appearance.
The second senior brother asked: Who tore off the notice last time about being careful about cats scratching people? Go and print a new one with plastic and paste it on it. Remember to print a full-length picture of the cat in color.
It was already the time when the lights were on when we returned to Grandma Zhang's house. When we walked into the yard, listening to Grandma Zhang's ear-splitting voice while scrolling through videos, both Song Xi and Feizhu breathed a sigh of relief.
I'm still in the mood to watch videos, and it doesn't seem to be a big problem.
It was summer, and Grandma Zhang's window door was open for ventilation. Song Xi jumped up and entered the room directly.
The flying pig walked around the door into the hall, opened the door with its paws and walked in.
Grandma Zhang had reading glasses on her nose and was leaning on the bedside watching a video. She saw a flash of orange in her peripheral vision, so she took off her glasses and put down her phone.
"Hohoho, Po, you're back."
"Xiaoha, you are back too."
"Come on, let's give grandma a hug."
"Grandma misses you so much." Grandma Zhang kissed her twice and touched her. She couldn't put it down.
"You haven't had dinner yet. Grandma will give you something to eat." Grandma Zhang's daughter regularly buys cat and dog food on an online platform and delivers it to the village, and then asks the village's designated location to deliver it to grandma's house.
Seeing their grandma's vigorous steps, Song Xi and Feizhu's hearts fell to the ground.
After dinner, the two of them lay down in grandma's room to rest. Grandma put a cardboard box on the floor, and Flying Pig lay on it and took a nap.
Song Xi jumped on grandma's bed and slept next to grandma's head.
Now she doesn't have to worry about fleas. A circle of infuriating energy works better than an electric mosquito swatter.
In the dead of night, grandma put down the mosquito net, and the video on her mobile phone was still playing repeatedly, and grandma's snoring started to sound.
Song Xi went over and clicked on the video without taking out her phone. She was worried that it would disturb her and disturb her sleep. She waited for the phone to fall completely from her hand and take it away, and the surroundings became completely quiet.
There was a "pop" sound, and the mobile phone fell from grandma's hand. Song Xi gently took it away and put it on the other end of the bed.
She remembered that her grandma didn't sleep well. She would wake up in the middle of the night and continue reading until she fell asleep again.
"Go away!" Grandma said angrily.
Song Xi was startled. Did she take away the phone to make grandma angry?
"Go away, don't even think about me serving you again in the next life." Has grandma taken enough care of pets? Song Xi felt heartbroken.
