Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 679
"Don't worry, it'll be there soon."

Xiaozao turned around and said to her with a smile.

"……Oh."

Xiaolei hummed, she had no other place to go at this time, following the two of them was also an option.

Originally, Xiaolei thought that she would have to walk for at least ten, twenty, ten minutes to leave this street, but she didn't expect that the scene around her suddenly changed just as she took a step.

"what?"

Xiaolei couldn't help blinking, looking at the surrounding scenery in surprise.

This step seemed to step into the void, and the original street in front of him immediately became blurred, and the degree of blurring was rapidly intensifying, and soon completely disappeared.

Instead, there is a bright field of flowers.

Colorful flowers are blooming one after another, and colorful butterflies flutter among them, embellishing this flower field beautifully.

Along the side of the road are two rows of cherry blossom trees.

It is clear that the season of cherry blossoms has passed, but the cherry blossoms here seem to be in the blooming season. Whenever the gentle breeze blows, countless fluttering petals will fall to the ground like snowflakes.

"Wow!"

Xiaolei stepped on the cherry blossoms all over the ground, looked at the beautiful scenery in front of her fascinatedly, and couldn't help but exclaim.

"This, here...is it a fairyland?"

"of course not."

Seeing her stunned look, Xiaozao couldn't help smiling slightly.Back then, when she first came here, she had the same stupid reaction as her.

Shaking his head, Xiaozao closed his eyes, took a deep breath of fresh air, and said softly, "This is the Fox God Palace!"

——It is also our home, Loki's last piece of pure land.

Xiaozao silently added this sentence in his heart.

"Fox God Palace?"

Xiaolei blinked. As an outsider, she didn't know the meaning of the name.On the other side, Xiaozuo and the woman in Huayi had already walked along the cherry blossom road, and Xiaolei hurriedly trotted a few steps to follow.

The length of this road was much longer than expected, and the three of them walked for two or three hours before getting out of the woodland.But maybe because the flowers on both sides are very eye-catching, like colorful waves in the breeze, giving people a strong visual impact, Xiaolei didn't feel tired at all after walking for such a long time.

The two people in front were reticent all the way, which made Xiaolei think that this was a very solemn place, and subconsciously became quiet.

When the nearly ten-mile-long flower field road came to an end, she finally couldn't hold on any longer. She stretched out her hand and tugged at the sleeve of the woman beside her, and asked in a low voice, "Then, that..."

She wanted to ask herself what she should do later, she was already timid, let alone a newcomer, needless to say she was nervous.

Xiaozao looked back at her, as if she could see her thoughts at a glance, patted her hand and comforted: "Don't worry, follow me later, don't run around...Look, we are here!"

Xiaozao suddenly pointed to the front.

Xiaolei looked along her fingers. At the end of the road, there was an open area. In the middle stood a towering tall building, about five or six stories high. Surrounded by a piece of green water, it was majestic and quite For the spectacular.

From a distance, Xiaolei could hear the voices of Yingying and Yanyan coming from there.As they got closer, she could finally see those figures clearly.

In front of that tall building, there were dozens of women walking back and forth, without exception, all of them were wearing white scarlet hakama priestess costumes.They were carrying boxes, or stacks of books and sundries in their hands, and everyone was in a hurry, looking extremely busy.

"Take these books and dry them quickly..."

"How's the costume preparation going..."

"There are still a few Shenraku bells..."

"Don't dawdle, hurry up, you must finish all the work before tonight..."

In front of the building, there was a woman who looked like a leader constantly urging around.

"Ah, Lord Fox God!"

"Master Fox God is here!"

"Master Fox God!"

……

Soon someone spotted the three people approaching.Wherever the woman in Chinese clothes walked, all the witches would pause their movements and bow their heads to salute her.

"Master Fox God, you are back..."

The leading woman also hurried over and bowed to the woman in Chinese clothes.

"How are the preparations for the ceremony tonight?"

The woman in Huayi nodded and asked with a light smile.

"The spells and musical instruments are all ready, the carriage is also ready, and the rest is some pens, ink, papers and inkstones that are still being packed, but considering that we are leaving early, please go take a shower and change clothes now!"

The woman pointed to the building and said respectfully.

"Ah."

The woman in Huayi nodded, and followed into the building, but before leaving, she still didn't forget about Xiaolei, and turned her head to say something to Xiaozuo.

"Xiao Zuo, I will leave this child in your charge first."

"Yes, Lord Fox God."

Xiaozao lowered his head and saluted the woman like everyone else.

It wasn't until the woman in Chinese clothes, known as the Fox God by everyone, entered the building that Xiaolei came back to her senses. She was suddenly placed in such a strange environment, and she felt cramped, and she kept tugging at the hem of her clothes with her hands.

In particular, after the woman in Chinese clothes left, the remaining maidens present quickly returned to their previous busy state, coming and going, but inadvertently paying attention to her.

This kind of feeling of being patrolled is not good, Xiaolei blushed and tugged on Xiaozao's clothes: "Then, that, please, what should I do next?"

She still hasn't forgotten that she was dragged here to work, and at the moment when everyone else looks so busy, she is too embarrassed to keep standing there.

"Oh, I'm sorry, today will be very busy, even though it's your first day here, you still have to work immediately... But..."

As Xiaozao said, he nodded his chin and looked her up and down.

At this time, Xiaolei looked dirty, and there were a few holes in her clothes, Xiaozao shook her head.

"Anyway, let's change clothes first, your whole body is too dirty..."

"Hey, change clothes?"

Xiaolei was stunned.Still in a daze, Xiao Zuo had already pulled her directly to the side of the building, and entered the building through a small door on the side of the first floor.

A few minutes later, Xiaolei's exclamation came from the misty hot spring behind the building.

"Ah, I, I can wash it myself..."

"They're all girls, you're welcome... Oh, I didn't expect your skin to be so good!"

……

After a lot of tossing, Xiaolei had just finished washing, and was immediately dragged into the changing room.

Xiaolei, who was only wrapped in a bath towel, was sitting by the window, drying her body with the breeze outside the window, while listening to Xiaozao's nagging.

"Tonight is the Fox God Festival. Everyone will set off later, and you have to follow along...By the way, you should be able to read and write, right? There will be some recording work for you to do in the evening..."

At this time, Xiaozai had already changed into the same maiden costume as other women, rolled up her sleeves, tied a knot at the crook of her arm, stretched out her hand to tie her shoulder-length short hair into a ponytail, and then walked to a row of wardrobes next to the room forward.

"I'll look for it... oh, there it is!"

Xiaozao opened one of the wardrobes, rummaged through it, and finally took out a stack of clothes and passed them to Xiaolei.

"Here, this is what I wore before, try it on, I think we are about the same height, it should fit well."

"Oh... oh."

Xiaolei hurriedly reached out to take it, opened it to look, and found that it was the same witch costume as Xiaozao's.

Both the white clothes and the scarlet hakama were washed clean, and there was still a faint fragrance of flowers wafting from the fabric.

Xiaolei stared blankly at the clothes in front of her. This was the first time she had seen such clothes, so naturally she didn't try to wear them, so she didn't know what to do.

"This muscular undergarment is meant to be worn inside, which is equivalent to underwear. Then wear this white dress outside. Look, isn't there an opening here..."

Seeing Xiaolei's predicament, Xiaozao smiled and stepped forward to guide her.

"... Scarlet hakama, that is, this red dress should be worn last, and then tied up with a waistband..."

With her help, Xiaolei finally changed into this maiden costume.Xiaozao then brought white socks and red button sandals.

With this body going on, Xiaolei finally has the appearance of a witch.

"Well, not bad..."

After changing her clothes, Xiaozao nodded in satisfaction looking at the completely new Xiaolei.Xiaolei is the embryo of a beauty, and this maiden costume brings out her demure and refined temperament even more.

"Your hair is quite long..."

Xiaozao looked at Xiaolei's waist-length hair and touched her chin, took out a paper from the drawer beside her and handed it to her: "I don't need it now, but at the festival later, the hair at the back will be wrapped in white sandalwood paper." Get up and tie it with twine... Forget it, I'll help you later..."

Xiaozao shook his head, smiled lightly and said, "How do you feel?"

"Well……"

Xiaolei looked down at the clothes on her body and turned around in a circle.There are many bags and bells hanging on the clothes, and the bells ring continuously when they are turned.

"It's amazing, light and fluffy, very comfortable...the size is just right..."

Xiaolei sighed in admiration, but couldn't help but reached out and pulled the fabric on her chest.

"...It's just that the chest seems a little tight."

Xiaozao, who was still smiling, suddenly twitched the corners of his eyes when he heard this.

She glanced at Xiaolei's high chest, and then looked down at her own.

This kid, is he looking for faults...

However, looking at Xiaolei still circling in circles with an innocent expression on her face, no matter how you look at it, it seems that she just said her feelings casually, without thinking about the meaning of these words at all.

"Oh, forget it..."

Xiaozao shook her head, stopped thinking about it, got up and waved to Xiaolei.

"Let's go, you go to the backyard to help lead the horse first, I will be there later."

It took a lot of time for the two of them to change clothes. It is estimated that Mr. Fox God should have finished his bath by now, and everyone will leave soon.

"Lead the horse, lead the horse, lead the horse..."

Xiaolei followed Xiaozao's instructions and found the stables after thinking about it all the way.

At this time, there was already a huge four-wheeled carriage parked outside the stables, with a height of four or five meters, covering an area almost as large as a house.

Xiaolei was a little surprised, wondering if she was going to take everyone away in this carriage?

But how many horses would it take to pull such a big carriage?

After entering the stable, Xiaolei discovered that there was no horse inside. Behind the fence, there was only a mysterious creature with two heads and four legs.

"Oh? This... is it a unicorn?"

Xiaolei stared blankly at the creature in front of her. The appearance of this creature was somewhat similar to the unicorn she had heard before, with a lion head and antlers, tiger eyes and a moose body, covered in dragon scales.

"You, hello!"

When Qilin saw Xiaolei, it yelled 'Hum Hum' twice, and Xiaolei also hurriedly bowed down to salute it.
