Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 693 A Visitor from the Temple

"Is that so..."

The little fox nodded and explained: "My sister once told me that if one day I need to find her in a hurry, I can go to any fox statue and type a code, and she will appear immediately when she hears it. If you want to find Fox God, you can ask her to notify you. It's just..."

"Just what?"

"only……"

The little fox scratched his head, and lowered his head in embarrassment: "I forgot that code..."

"..."

The little fox looked up, but found that the three of them were staring at him blankly, which made him even more embarrassed, blushed, and hurriedly patted his chest to reassure him: "I, I just can't remember, it's not complicated. The secret code, as long as you try it a few times in front of the fox statue, you can always try it out."

"yes……"

Kong Zhe nodded: "In that case, let's go find the statue now."

He immediately got up, walked to the side of the road, looked around, and considered which direction to go.

As for the statue of the fox god, he knew that there was one in the fox village, and it was in the little fox's home.That was originally the most convenient place, but it's a pity that they have been kicked out now.

In addition, the other is the statue I saw at the Fox God Festival last night.

I'm afraid, I can only go there...

After their identities were exposed, not only could they not stay in Fox Village, but they might also be driven away if they went to other villages.

What's more, the Temple of the Sun seems to be hunting them everywhere.Leo's saying is correct, Loki is such a big place, no matter where he goes, there is a possibility of being found.The only place that can accept them is probably the Fox God Palace, which is opposite to the Sun Temple.

……

After discussing with Kong Zhe and the others, they finally decided to go to the festival hill last night again.

At the same time, at the entrance of Fox Village several miles away from them, there was a flying carriage slowly coming from the sky.

The two-headed alien beast pulling the cart kept spitting out hot air from its mouth, and there was a faint flash of lightning under the hooves during the gallop.This strange beast was handsome and mighty, and the clouds and mist receded wherever it passed.

And at this moment, in the spacious carriage behind, the voices of two women were being heard.

"Xiao Lei, are you sure you saw that person last night? Could it be that you just misread something?"

"No, I'm sure, only Brother Kong Zhe, I will never admit my mistake."

"Oh?"

In the carriage, Xiao Zuo rested his chin, looking at Xiao Lei's anxious expression, he couldn't help being a little dazed.

From last night to today, as long as his affairs are involved, Xiaolei will act as if she is desperate.

Today is also the case, she who has always been reticent in the Fox God Palace, actually took the initiative to ask Lord Fox God for a day off, and wanted to come to Fox Village to find someone.

From the looks of it, this person is really important to Xiaolei.

Is this feeling called love...

Xiaozao thought curiously, she had never been in love before, so she couldn't understand Xiaolei's thoughts.

Seeing Xiaolei sitting there agitatedly, opening the curtains to look out from time to time, Xiaozao couldn't help smiling, and comforted: "Don't worry, we'll be there soon."

"Um……"

Xiaolei sighed, then looked away from the window, looked at Xiaozuo and said, "Thank you, Xiaozuo, for coming here with me."

"No, no thanks..."

Xiao Zuo shrugged and said with a smile: "I haven't been out for a long time, this time it's thanks to you, I just came back to see grandpa and younger brother."

"younger brother?"

Xiaolei was stunned for a moment, she hadn't heard from Xiaozuo that she had a younger brother.

"Well. His name is Wu, he is only ten years old this year. He is also my only relative..."

Xiaozao nodded, thinking of her younger brother, a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

Then she shook her head: "Stop talking about this, Xiaolei, let me ask you, if you really find your ideal later, will you go with him?"

"Ah...well, yes, yes..."

Hearing the word "loved person", Xiaolei blushed a little, hummed lightly, and nodded.

"What about Master Fox God?"

Xiaozao asked immediately.

"Master Fox God?"

"Yes, you must know that the Lord Fox God likes you very much. He not only rescued you from the street when you were extremely hungry, but also brought you into the Fox God Palace and installed a Fox God Envoy for you so that others A job that I can’t ask for. Even your request to go out today, she agreed without hesitation. Usually, if other sisters ask for leave, it is absolutely impossible for them to ask for it. To be honest, I have been with her for so many years. It's the first time I've seen her care so much about someone."

Xiaozao dragged her chin and looked at Xiaolei enviously.

She still can't understand why Lord Fox God is so nice to a stranger suddenly.

It's just that she can faintly feel that there is something different about Xiaolei from ordinary people. It doesn't refer to such qualities as kindness and beauty, but something more direct.And Lord Fox God is aware of this, so he will take such care of her.

"This, this... I..."

Xiaolei was startled, lowered her head, fiddled with her fingers, hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed: "I, I don't know..."

She just instinctively wanted to find Kong Zhe's whereabouts. As for what happened after finding Kong Zhe, to be honest, she had never thought about it.

Her current status, to put it bluntly, is in debt and working for others.But after these two days, no matter how dull she is, she can still feel it.That woman in Chinese clothes, that is, Fox God, was really good to her, and took care of her in all kinds of things. She seemed to have lied to her before, but everything she did was actually helping her.

She didn't know how she could be favored by others, but they were just strangers after all, and if Kong Zhe wanted to take her away, she would definitely not be able to stay here.

Brother Kong Zhe, he should pay back the money for me...

Xiaolei nodded her finger, her face flushed slightly thinking about it.

"Oh, forget it, don't worry too much about working for ten years or something."

Seeing her embarrassed look, Xiaozao couldn't bear it, and hurriedly smiled and comforted her.

"Lord Fox God, she is just playful, don't worry, if you really want to leave, as long as you explain it well, she will definitely not make things difficult for you."

"Um……"

Xiaolei nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

While talking, there was a loud hiss from the strange beast outside the carriage, and then the two of them felt the carriage begin to fall slowly.

After a while of slight bumps, it finally came to a complete stop.

The two stepped out of the carriage, and sure enough, they had already stopped at the entrance of Fox Village.

"Amoo, you are grazing here, don't run around until we come back, you understand?"

Xiaozao led the creature named Ah Moo, pulled the carriage to the grass beside it, touched its head, and told it.

"Moo!"

Ah Moo raised his head to the sky and screamed, then curled up his limbs like a camel, lay down on the ground and began to rest.

Xiaozao nodded in satisfaction.

As for whether anyone will pass by here in the future, Xiaozuo is not worried. Although Ah Moo looks a bit fierce, he is actually a very docile creature, and he only eats vegetarian food, and will not actively attack people.

"Xiao Lei, let's go."

After setting up the carriage, Xiaozuo took Xiaolei into Fox Village.

Both of them were still wearing priestess costumes, but each wore a small red robe over the clothes, which was the standard attire for fox god envoys when they went out.

Fox Angels have a high status in Loki, this is for people to know their identities at a glance. On the other hand, wearing a hood can also cover Xiaolei's human identity and avoid trouble.

It was noon at this time, and the scorching sun was high, but there seemed to be very few people in the village. The two of them walked all the way, but they didn't see a single person.

"Strange, where did everyone go?"

Xiaozao was a little puzzled.

The two trotted all the way to the shrine. At this time, the gate of the shrine was half closed, and Xiaozao hurriedly opened the door and entered.

The yard was empty, only some white spider threads could be seen in the corners from time to time.

"Awu...Awu?"

Xiaozao called a few times, but no one answered.

After a while, she suddenly heard a noise in the ancestral hall, and then the door was opened, and an old man came out of the house.

"Huh? Grandpa!"

Xiaozao froze for a moment.She came back with great difficulty, but she didn't expect that the first person who came out to greet her was not Wu, but the village chief.

Xiaozao subconsciously looked down at the old man's hand.

At this time, he was holding a broom in his hand, and there was still a pile of spider silk and dust on the ground, which seemed to be cleaning.

Looking at the pile of spider threads, Xiao Zuo was a little startled, could it be that this house is already so dirty?Can sweep out so many spider webs.

"Xiao Zuo? Why do you..."

The old man was obviously taken aback when he saw the person coming.Xiaozao usually only comes back once a year, and has never stopped in the past few years, but this time he came back much earlier. He couldn't help but wonder if something happened to Fox God Palace?

But before the old man had time to ask, he immediately noticed the girl standing behind Xiaozao.

After seeing the girl's appearance clearly, the old man's eyes widened.

"Yes, it's you!"

"Huh? Grandpa, do you know Xiaolei?"

Seeing the way the old man pointed at Xiaolei tremblingly, Xiaozao couldn't help being surprised.

She hurriedly turned her head to look at Xiaolei, but at this moment Xiaolei looked at a loss, obviously not knowing the village head.

The old man stood there for a few seconds before he came back to his senses.He looked up and down Xiaolei's attire, especially noticing the red string on Xiaolei's wrist, he frowned suddenly, his expression became serious.

"You... have you joined the Fox God Palace?"

The old man hesitated and asked Xiaolei.

"Ah... well, let's say, let's take it..."

Xiaolei nodded in confusion. In fact, she didn't know whether she joined the Fox God Palace. It stands to reason that she was just a part-time worker, and she didn't seem to be considered a regular employee.But Xiao Zuo said that as long as there is this red string, it means that he is a member of Fox God Palace.

"Hey, grandpa, how did you know Xiaolei?"

Xiaozao asked hastily.

"Oh... I saw her once a few days ago..."

The old man sighed and briefly talked about what happened in the cat village that day.
