In the quiet mountain village, a little girl jumped around the big building in the villa. After asking the big pavilion-like place, she trotted in without waiting for an answer from inside.

That's right!

The person who came was not anyone, it was Anne!

After all, she was a little bored at Wangshu Inn alone. Sister Ningguang, who played chess with her and was defeated repeatedly and was beaten many times, has left. As for Miss Mona, she set out on the same day because she needed to go to Mond to do things. Sister Ying and Paimon, who she had to wait, were probably still struggling between the mountains and ridges between Jueyun. She was afraid that she would not be able to come to the inn so soon to meet her. So, after staying in the inn for three or five days, she, who was a little impatient, began to go out and sway and toss again.

Isn't this?

She heard the guest dining in an inn accidentally say it, and then remembered the name "Qingcezhuang". Then, now she came to this village built on the cliffs of Wuwangpo and with a pretty good scenery.

“Wow!”

(⊙o⊙*)

"What a big pavilion!"

(′`*)

While looking, Anne exclaimed quietly.

This is the largest building in this village. It looks like a big pavilion with only guardrails and no walls. It is mainly built and supported by sixteen square pillars that may not be able to close to both of them. There are also many seats and decorations inside, but there is no one at this time, and I don’t know what it is for.

“??”

(.)

"Is it a martial arts hall?"

(′`)

Then, Annie saw that there seemed to be two weapon stands on both sides of the mountain flowing water screen in the middle of the pavilion, with weapons such as swords, guns, swords, and halberds on them, so she subconsciously guessed.

"No……"

"The old woman is not a martial arts hall."

"That's not a weapon, it's just a prop for opera."

At this moment, a sudden voice sounded behind Anne, and then she subconsciously turned her head and looked out the door.

"Props?"

Σ(д;)

"Old grandma?"

(′д‵)

"Is this your home?"

(▽)

Seeing the old hunchbacked grandma slowly walking in with her hands on her back, Annie asked without any hesitation, just as if she was the master of this place, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her rushing in without anyone's consent.

(…)

(●￣￣●)

"No……"

"I don't live here."

"This is the place in the village where you can discuss matters and train young people in skills."

Shaking her head, the old woman slowly walked to Annie, and in surprise, she looked up and down with her turbid eyes, before saying so.

"It's you..."

"Little guy, where did you call?"

"I remember, at the suspension bridge at the entrance of the village today, no one said that a stranger had entered the village. Could it be that you were sneaking here alone, right?"

"cough……"

"There are many monsters and people from Qiuqiu nearby, but now it is becoming increasingly difficult for children to control. Just like Luo Xiaomei, she runs out of the village every day, and always says she wants to see the immortal..."

In this way, the old mother-in-law asked in surprise and worry, and shook her head and sighed, then looked outside again, as if she wanted to make sure if the strange little girl in front of her was accompanied by an adult or something.

"laugh!"

(-)

"Grandma, why don't you know that they are not from here?"

(^_^)

Perhaps because of her good mood, Annie asked with a rare grimace and smiled playfully, and pretended that she lived nearby.

"You..."

The old woman was stunned, but did not say why directly. She just walked forward with some amusement and cry, then sat on the chair in front of the screen in the hall, then looked at Annie again and said slowly:

"actually……"

"Little girl, I have been paying attention to you since you just arrived here and started wandering around outside."

"You also saw that our village is a small and gentle village with beautiful mountains and rivers. It is not short of food or drink. It is very comfortable to live."

"pity……"

"The young people can't stand the loneliness and have gone to the more lively foreign places or Liyue Port. Only the old men and children are left in the village."

"After so many years of internship, there are a few fields, bamboos or children here. Wouldn't I, an old lady, know?"

Immediately afterwards, perhaps the old lady really wanted to find someone to talk to, so she talked to Annie in such a bit, and after talking for a long time, she explained and smiled slowly without any haste.

“Huh?”

=('ヮ'=)

Annie was slightly surprised at this.

“That is,…”

(°〼°〃)

"Grandma, are you the village chief here?"

(O ^~^ O)

"It must be right?"

()

Then, she thought about it and blinked before jumping over, and suddenly sat on the other chair next to the other party, and lay on the back of the chair, asking without any appearance and curiosity.

"I'm not the village chief."

"However, maybe it's because I've been doing what the village chief has done. Over time, everyone thinks that way, right?"

After saying that, he sighed and shook his head again. Then, the old man looked at Anne and asked kindly:

"Tell me!"

"Little clever!"

"May I have your name?"

After looking around, I found that there was nothing to be used for entertainment here. The old man thought about it and had to give up. Then he turned his head and asked at the little Anne who was still lying on the back of the chair and was not big or small.

"Oh Annie!"

(゜▽＾*)

"Anne Hasta!"

(▽)

Anne generously told her own name to a crisp voice.

"Anne Hasta?"

“Um…”

"I heard that I wasn't from Liyue, where did you call me?"
