Although they had decided to take action against Saburo Nagato, there was still an entire afternoon before the banquet. Mo Xiaofei and Zixing discussed for a while and decided to contact Tsuruko Nagato before the banquet.
After all, no matter how they looked at it, Tsuruko Nagato would become the spirit pen in the movie. The reason why they came to Yan Wuyue was that they went to the cinema to watch the spirit pen movie.
After Mo Xiaofei changed into the Kondo family's servant's clothes, Zixing gave a few different instructions to send the people around her away. She also changed into ordinary clothes. At this time, she had already walked into the Nagato family's courtyard with Mo Xiaofei.
This Nagato family was divided into two parts, the old house and the new house. The new house was only completed in recent years. For a small samurai family in a remote area, it was incredible to build such a huge house.
But considering the income of the crypt in the dungeon, the two were not surprised by the Nagato family's source of funds.
The place where the Kondo family was arranged to live was obviously the new house, while Master Nagato's residence had always been located in the old house. There was a huge courtyard and two small buildings in the middle.
"Work harder and build the wall again. It's almost as big as a fortress." Zixing looked around. She was not like Mo Xiaofei. She had long been familiar with the things here, so it was somewhat new to her.
Along the way, they met a few servants of the Nagato family. However, after they saw the Kondo family's clothes, they all retreated respectfully. After all, this was the real master of the Nagato family. Even if they were servants, there was a difference.
Because of the reset, this time when Madame Hikari came to Nagato's house, she was prepared before everyone greeted her. She covered her face with a veil and said early that she was not feeling well. So, it was more natural to let the maidservant replace her at the banquet later.
As for Zixing at this time, she did not conceal herself. Neto Tsukihime's appearance could be said to be beautiful. Such beauty was only the identity of a maid. As for the servants next to her, they were also extraordinary. These servants of the Nagato Family could not help but feel a trace of the extraordinariness of a wealthy family. They became more and more respectful.
A man with some status among the Nagato family's servants had the courage to come forward, "Are you two planning to visit this place?"
"This guy is called Yoda. He is considered an elder of the Nagato family. However, there was only a first name and no surname. However, he is very eager to be bestowed with a surname. He belongs to the hardworking type, "Mo Xiaofei whispered in Purple Star's ear.
"Let me introduce myself. You can call me Liang Tian!" At this time, Yoshida rubbed his hands and said flatteringly, "If you want to visit the nearby area, it's best to bring me along! I'm not boasting, but there's nothing I don't know! "
Zixing glanced at Mo Xiaofei, who shrugged. Madame Purple Star nodded and said indifferently, "Then we'll have to trouble you. We really want to look around nearby. After all, Nagato's house is really well built. "
There was a smug look on Yoshida's face. It was probably a sense of honor.
At this moment, some sobbing sounds came from not far away. A maidservant of the Nagato family was tied up by two strong servants at this time. The maidservant's clothes were a little messy and dirty. She should have fallen on the ground or even been beaten.
"What happened?" Mo Xiaofei frowned.
Yoshida quickly said, "Oh, nothing. It's just that this maidservant committed a crime, so she was punished a little. It seems that she is going to be locked up. "
As the two said, after a while, the maidservant was pushed directly into a small wooden house by the two servants. However, Mo Xiaofei recognized that the maidservant's name was Ah Xiu. She was the person who took care of Tsuruko Nagato since she was a child. According to Mo Xiaofei's observation, Ah Xiu's care for Tsuruko Nagato was like a biological sister.
He also inquired about Ah Xiu's origin.
Ah Xiu's parents were servants who served the Nagato family for a long time. However, her parents died in an accident when she was a child. She was considered an orphan. It should be because of her identity as an orphan. She sympathized with Tsuruko Nagato who lost her mother since she was a child. Her father, Saburo Nagato, was on the battlefield. Unknowingly, she had a special feeling.
"You two, this is just a small matter. There is nothing to see." Yoshida suggested at this time, "Why don't I take you two to visit the next place? I don't know if you two have heard of the teleportation of a powerful demon beast in Unripe Rice Village before? "
"We know about this." Mo Xiaofei nodded calmly.
Yoshida quickly said at this time, "Then you two must go and see the ruins left by the demon beast."
Mo Xiaofei had naturally investigated this kind of place, but only some broken stones were left. There was nothing to see. Unexpectedly, Zixing nodded directly at this time, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
"You two, please come with me!" Yoshida walked in front.
At this time, Zixing whispered to Mo Xiaofei, "I want to go to the ruins and see it with my own eyes. I'll leave Tsuruko Nagato to you first. If there is a chance, bring her back quietly to the place where I live now."
Mo Xiaofei opened his mouth. This Greedy Wolf Young Master is really crazy. Not only Saburo Nagato, but even Tsuruko Nagato is planning to directly tie her up in the dungeon and reunite with Narukami Chun, right?
However, splitting up can indeed save time. Mo Xiaofei was more anxious to solve the mystery of resetting time than Zixing.
"Mr. Yoshida, I won't go over. I still have something to do." Mo Xiaofei said directly at this time, letting Yoshida take Zixing over.
After the two had gone far away, Mo Xiaofei quietly walked to the cabin where Ah Xiu was locked up. Ah Xiu being punished was a development that he had never seen before. Perhaps there would be a new discovery.
…
The Nagato family's rules were very strict. Even if the firewood shed used for confinement was not locked, the servants who were locked here would not leave privately. There was no escape at all. After all, there was a curse.
Probably … I'll be hungry for a long time, right?
Xiu rubbed the place where she had just been hit with a hard object. She couldn't help but sigh. I don't know how Miss Tsuruko is doing at this time. I just bandaged the wound on her forehead.
Creak …
The door of the firewood shed was suddenly pushed open slowly at this time, and a strong figure appeared at the door. It was too bright outside. Xiu couldn't see the appearance of the person at once. She thought it was an evil servant of the Nagato family, so she couldn't help but shrink back.
Everyone knew that Miss Tsuruko was somewhat disliked in the Nagato family. As Miss Tsuruko's maidservant, her status was naturally not high. Xiu knew this very well. It was common for her to be bullied by other servants. However, she had always been angry but did not dare to say anything. She did not dare to show any expression in front of Miss Tsuruko.
"Xiu … Xiu knows she is wrong." She shivered and begged for mercy in horror.
Xiu seemed to hear a sigh. It was so soft that Xiu almost thought she heard it wrong. Later, this person walked in. Xiu could gradually see the appearance of the person.
This was not any member of the Nagato family that she knew, nor was he someone in the village. After all, there was almost no one who did not know who grew up in this place.
"You … you are the Kondo family's lord?" Xiu looked in awe.
The man in front of her was not only tall, but he was also wearing Ashigaru clothes. Although he was not a samurai, his status was much higher than that of civilians.
"Are you okay?" Mo Xiaofei squatted down and softened his tone.
He had contacted everyone in Unripe Rice Village, including the Nagato family. Xiu was naturally no exception. It was just that she didn't know it. Mo Xiaofei also had a complicated feeling about Xiu.
Now that he thought about it, this feeling could be called "angry at her incompetence."
Xiu had been bullied by the Nagato family's evil servant, but she dared not say anything. In order not to let Tsuruko Nagato suffer any harm, she was willing to bear it silently and swallow her anger. It was probably a blessing for Tsuruko Nagato to have such a loyal maidservant like Xiu.
However, how similar was this to him in the past?
Before he obtained the ability, he used to not let his family worry. Even if he suffered a lot of grievances outside, he always endured it and always showed his smiling face in front of his parents.
It was not because he was too strong, but because he was too fragile. He did not dare to cry in front of his loved ones.
"I'm … I'm fine." Xiu did not dare to look up at the Kondo family's' lord. '
It was not that she was afraid of strange men. As a member of the cursed family, how could she still be unfamiliar with men, just like the women in other villages? It was just that the concerned gaze of the Kondo family's' lord 'in front of her made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Miss Tsuruko was still young and insensible. Even if she knew about relationships, she did not know how to express it. Other than that, she could only rely on her deceased parents.
She had never let someone nobler than her really care about her. Even if it was just a simple greeting.
"What's wrong with you? Is it still painful? Do you want to drink some water first? " Mo Xiaofei looked at Xiu in surprise. Looking at her somewhat absent-minded gaze at this time, he couldn't help but frown. As far as he knew, Ah Xiu was actually very strong.
Sure enough, it was because she was punished by the family this time. It was too painful, right? As a woman, her resistance to pain was indeed weak.
The water was from the kettle he carried with him. In fact, it was a bamboo tube.
Mo Xiaofei unplugged the stopper and sent it to Xiu. He smiled slightly and said, "Drink some. You seem to be sweating a lot."
This was indeed a great temptation. Xiu, who was ready to endure the hunger and thirst, really couldn't resist the temptation of the water in front of her for a while.
"Thank you …" Xiu lowered her head and blushed slightly.
This was her appearance after drinking a few mouthfuls of water quickly.
Mo Xiaofei nodded, then sat directly on the ground and looked at Xiu. All the information about Xiu that he had inquired about flashed in his mind.
The two didn't speak and kept silent.
Mo Xiaofei suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought about leaving this place?"
Xiu's shoulders trembled slightly. Her face was gloomy. She gave Mo Xiaofei a bitter smile. Finally, she shook her head and gave her answer.
"Why?"
"If Xiu leaves here, there is no place to go." Xiu whispered, "I … I can't leave here. I won't be able to survive outside. "
"Why can't you survive? As long as you have a pair of hands. " Mo Xiaofei shook his head, but he knew that almost all the young women in this village were harmed by the cursed lie.
If he exposed this lie at this time, would she believe it?
Even if she believed it, could she accept it? After all, she had been like this all the time. Mo Xiaofei believed that Xiu had been to the underground palace several times.
How would she face this?
Looking at the woman who pretended to be strong in front of him, Mo Xiaofei couldn't help but sigh again. If it was really cruel, it would probably directly destroy all her defenses.
This sinful Nagato Family … Such a scourge should not exist. A trace of coldness quietly appeared in Mo Xiaofei's eyes.
Xiu subconsciously shrank her body and looked at him in horror again.
Mo Xiaofei found something wrong and frowned, "What's wrong? Is it painful again? "
"No, no, it's just that sir, your appearance just now … just now …" Xiu stuttered, but she didn't know where the courage came from, "It's a little scary …"
"Me?" Mo Xiaofei was stunned and touched his face subconsciously, "Where is it scary?"
Xiu shook her head and hesitated, "Xiu doesn't know. It's just … a little like the master when he was angry. "
"Hmph! Don't compare me with that kind of beast! "Mo Xiaofei subconsciously lowered his voice like a roaring beast.
"Yes! I'm sorry! " Xiu shivered and shrank her body tighter, but surprisingly she seemed to be a little angry, "Please, please don't scold the master. He is a good person … for us …"
Powerless and sad.
Mo Xiaofei clenched his fists. He knew everything, but he couldn't say it … How similar was this feeling of powerlessness to him when he was weak and submissive?
He could only suppress the anger in his heart and not lose his mind, "Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about your matter."
"Me?" Xiu was stunned and confused, "About Xiu?"
This' sir 'of the Kondo Family came here for the first day. She didn't know him before. Why was he suddenly interested in her? Was it because …
Her heart suddenly beat faster, but she remembered that she had been impure for a long time. She felt sad and could only lower her head, "Xiu is just a very ordinary servant, nothing special."
"I heard that you are Miss Tsuruko's maid, right?"
"En." Xiu blinked. She was not surprised that he would know this. This was not a secret.
Thinking of Tsuruko Nagato, Xiu's face glowed with a smile, "Master Saburo's wife died early. Xiu took care of Miss Tsuruko since she was a child."
"Oh?" Mo Xiaofei nodded and asked abruptly, "Is there anything special about this Miss Tsuruko?"
"Ah?" Xiu showed a puzzled look.
Mo Xiaofei didn't want to explain too much, "I mean, do you feel that Tsuruko Nagato is different from others?"
"Miss Tsuruko has been very sensible since she was a child." Xiu said subconsciously, then she seemed a little nervous, "You … sir, you … why are you asking about Miss Tsuruko?"
After the nervousness, there seemed to be a trace of vigilance.
Mo Xiaofei casually fabricated a reason, "I see that Miss Tsuruko's complexion seems a little bad. I feel that there may be something wrong with her body, so I'm curious."
Anyway, if he couldn't solve the mystery of time reset, Xiu would forget about it after today. Mo Xiaofei simply began to boast without any burden.
"Ah!" Unexpectedly, these words made Xiu uneasy. She subconsciously grasped Mo Xiaofei's arm, "Sir, what's wrong with Miss Tsuruko?"
Effective … Or was it that this maidservant cared too much for her young miss?
"You tell me first. Yes or no." Mo Xiaofei asked indifferently.
Xiu lowered her head and thought hard. Suddenly, she looked up as if she had made a decision, "Sir, you are the first to say that Miss Tsuruko has a physical problem."
"Is that so?" Mo Xiaofei showed a surprised expression.
Xiu hesitated for a moment again at this time, "There is one thing that my wife told me before she died. I … can I believe you? Sir? "
Believe.
It can be light or heavy … can I respond to it?
But Mo Xiaofei nodded in the end.
