|˙˙)Hello?

"Is anyone?"

"I'm here!"

==()

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?"

Nodded, the old woman continued to ask.

“Where do you come from?”

⊙▽⊙

"Um……"

(￣ー￣)

"It should be said that he came from Mond?"

(′`)

"But I have been living in Wangshu Inn before, but I'm a little bored recently, so I'll come to you to have fun!"

(')

Anne said truthfully, without any intention of hiding it. After saying that, she moved the stool and lay on it happily swaying her short, milky white legs.

"So it's Mond!"

"No wonder, just now, your face and name are a little wrong when you look at your hair color."

"It's true."

Nodded, the old woman said that Annie's statement was basically the same as what she had guessed before.

Anyway, she was sure that there was absolutely no such person as Anne in their farm. After all, she had never seen him before. Now that Anne said he was a Mond, it makes sense.

"But……"

"Wangshu Inn is at least several days away from here, how did you come?"

"besides!"

"Where is your lord?"

As he said that, the old woman subconsciously turned her head and looked out of the pavilion.

Unfortunately, it was very peaceful outside and there was no noisy sound of people and horses. It seemed that no outsiders came here.

"grown ups?"

(.)

"I am the most...most...most, most powerful arcane wizard. I can teleport directly over by myself, so I don't need to be accompanied by an adult!"

()

Anne blinked in surprise at first, and soon, she said proudly.

"ah?"

"Oh, Arcane Master?"

"Is there another person flying over?"

After listening, the old woman repeated a while and thought, and the other party's loose and wrinkled face finally showed that expression called surprise and confusion, as if she didn't fully understand what Anne just said.

"That's right!"

o(*￣▽￣*)ブ

"Anyway, they are very awesome. They can go wherever they want, and go wherever they want!"

()hey-hey!

"It took several days for others to get here from Wangshu Inn, but it only takes a blink of an eye to arrive!"

(^_)☆

Anne said playfully and complacently.

In fact, not just from Wangshu Inn to here, as long as she is willing and has a specific goal, she can instantly arrive at another place from any place, and the distance is completely meaningless to her Queen Anne!

Even if she wants to, teleportation across the plane is just a matter of thought, and sometimes even the portal is redundant.

"Is that amazing?"

The old woman seemed a little surprised.

Because she could hear that the little girl Anne in front of her seemed to have clear order and logical expressions, which were different from the tone of the children in the farmhouse when they were talking big.

“That is,…”

"You have the Eye of God at a young age?"

So, she was surprised and began to patrol Annie with her turbid gaze again.

But unfortunately, just like before, she still found nothing and did not see the "Eye of God". She just felt that the hideous plush teddy bear Anni carried with her was a little suspicious, and she felt that Anni's Eye of God might have been hidden inside.

"There is no God's Eye!"

o(*'　〼)o

"He is a great arcane wizard, the most powerful one, so he doesn't need any 'Eye of God'!"

(ˉ▽￣￞］)Tsk~~

Anne expressed her disdain for the other party's statement.

In fact, let alone the Eye of God, even the God-heart of the gods in this world, she would be very disdainful!

Not to mention anything else, just the singing god of Mond, that guy is so shameless!

As one of the seven gods in this world, I won’t say that I’m so weak, I’ve actually fallen to the point where I was sneak attacked and my heart of god was taken away. If Sister Ying and the idiot Paimon hadn’t talked to her before, she wouldn’t have known that guy would have been so useless!

And as for the God of Rock here, let alone the God of Rock here...

Thinking back to the beginning, Queen Anne, who had just arrived in Liyuegang, died directly in front of her, and then she wanted to mess up and rely on her?

I still feel a little angry when I think about that kind of thing!

You know, Queen Anne has no time to eat, drink and have fun, so how could she have no time to attack or kill their boring god?

Besides, if she makes her angry, she will go to the door with her bear and take the bear. How could she have to attack the ceremony?!

"The most...the most amazing?"

"All right!"

"So, are you a little adventurer too?"

Speaking of adventurers, the old woman's originally relaxed expression suddenly condensed, and then, her turbid eyes began to become a little dazed, and I don't know what she thought of.

"Not it!"

o(^')o

"Do those adventurers like to wander around, helping others work and making money and finding treasures, and they keep trying to die. Although they like to wander around, they never help others work and do not need to make money or finding treasures. They just like to eat, drink and have fun everywhere!"

(-)

Anne used those playful words to clarify the difference between her and those adventurers. Of course, she also liked to make trouble everywhere and cause trouble for others, but she would not say that kind of thing casually.

Anyway, she is not like Sister Ying and the greedy idiot Paimon!

Although Sister Ying acted as an adventurer more to find some clues?

But no matter what, Annie will definitely not be like them, who are traveling around all day, working for others and running errands, and they feel a little upset when they look at it.

“…”

Unfortunately, the old woman didn't seem to listen to Annie's words this time.

She just looked at the mountains and sky outside the hall in a daze, and her eyes were not focal, and she didn't know what she was looking at.

“??”

(**;)

"Old grandma, what's wrong?"

く(＾_)ゝ

"Are you thinking about something?"

(゜-゜)

After blinking and following the other's gaze, Annie hurriedly called out two words.

"ah!"

"No, nothing."

"only……"

"Why!"

"I thought about some things..."

The old woman who came to her senses first sighed quietly, then hesitated, and finally her expression gradually became lonely.

“??”

(⊙_⊙)

"What's wrong?"

()

Anne was a little puzzled.

“…”

The other party did not rush to speak, but turned his head to look at Annie's curious and expectant little face. After a long time, he sighed as if he had finally made up his mind:

"cough!"

"sometimes……"

"I have been thinking that if I were born and raised in Qingcezhuang instead of the chaotic Liyuegang, maybe I would have a more ordinary and happier life, right?"

"before……"

"I used to be an actor in a teahouse in Liyuegang, and I also had a seemingly glamorous life, but..."

"Actors are actors all the time, so what is true?"

"No matter how you get into the show, you will be in vain..."

"Maybe, the actor is destined to be with lies, right?"

"The last time I saw him, he boarded a large ship that was sailing for adventure, and made an appointment to retreat with me after coming back..."

"Then, that became the biggest lie I encountered in my life..."

"He still couldn't come back..."

Speaking of this, the old lady's tone was slightly trembling, and then she suddenly kept silent, and her turbid eyes also became blurred and flashed again.

"Oh!"

"You must not understand what I told you about these things."

However, this time she quickly came to her senses, turned her head, sighed and smiled bitterly at Anne, who looked curious and confused.

"I understand!"

╭(′▽`)╯

"Grandma, what you have to wait for is an adventurer, and then, he never came back after he went out, right?"

(ω`)

After thinking about what the other party said for a while, Annie smiled pretty and tried to summarize.

"But old lady, don't wait!"

(.)

"The adventurer profession is very dangerous, and there are so many terrifying monsters in this world. The person you are waiting for may die long ago!"

()

As if she was afraid that the matter would not be serious, Anne was so relieved.

“…”

However, maybe it might be better if she didn't speak. After she said this, the old woman's expression suddenly became stiff, and then her eyes, which were a little angry and hopeful, began to become dead.

"that……"

く(﹏)ゝ

Tickling his head, Annie didn't know where she said it was wrong.

Because what she said was the best and most reasonable guess.

Of course, it is also possible that the guy met some more beautiful young ladies, and then went there and didn't come back. Maybe he would forget the old lady directly?

(…)

(●￣￣●)

"cough!"

"alright."

"You little dear, don't think about comforting me."

"The old woman is so old, she has long been out of the way, so it doesn't matter."

He shook his head, and didn't know if he really saw it. Anyway, the old woman just looked at Anne with a bitter face and said.

“By the way.”

!(;o)o

"Grandma, what's your name?"

(.⌒⌒).

Of course Annie didn't know how to comfort people, so she could only quickly change the topic and prepare to talk about something else.

"I..."

"They all call me Ruoxin."

“…”

In this way, Annie started chatting with the old woman named "Ruoxin" in the hall of Qingce Village.

I don't know how long it took.

"Senior Ruoxin."

"Are you here?"

"I'm here to see you, and your favorite glass mung bean cake..."

Until this time, it was not until a young lady with long black hair with a waist-length straight hair, wearing a decent red, purple and white dress, a white face, a crown, and an elegant, gentle and charming expression and movements that finally made the young and old who were chatting without a smile stopped.

“Huh?”

(°▽°)

“Mung Bean Cake?”

(σ)σ

"Very good!"

*.().*.

Anne, who had been talking a little dry and impatient, cheered directly when she heard this, then jumped down from the chair and jumped directly to the slightly surprised young lady, and took the gift she was carrying.

“!!”

(ˊ)

"Wow!"

(ω)

“It’s delicious!!”

()

Then, Annie, who had never known what politely, was of course not seen at all, opened the gift box on the spot, and then ate it with big mouthfuls.

"ah?"

"Who are you……"

Of course, the person who came did not recognize Annie, just felt a little familiar, and seemed to have seen her somewhere.

However, thinking that the little girl in front of her was talking to Senior Ruoxin just now, she thought the two had some intimate relationship and did not stop drinking it, so she let Annie eat it.

"that……"

"Senior Ruoxin."

"she is……?"

Then, after thinking about it, she slowly walked to the old lady Ruoxin and gave a lady gift, then pointed at Annie with some strangeness and asked.

"Well..."

“Um…”

"A little friend I just met today, her name is Anne!"

"It's a magician from Mond."

Seeing Anne's voracious eating look and the box of mung bean cakes was about to be eaten up, the old lady Ruoxin didn't mind much, but just smiled and said this to the person who came.

"Anne?"

"Come from Mond?"

"ah!!"

"I remember, isn't she the little guy who caused Li Yue to sensation!"

The person who came exclaimed, his face and eyes were full of disbelief.

Anyway, she didn't expect that the little guy wanted by Liyue would hide in Qingce Village, but she was really cunning.

However, those things are no longer important now, because, she heard about it on the way to come, it is said that it was a misunderstanding, and the wanted order was lifted a few days ago.

"It is better to meet than to be famous. It is a great honor to finally meet you today."

"My surname is Yun, and my single name is Jin."

"Isn't it the person in charge of Yunhan Society. Our opera club has been affiliated with Heyu Teahouse recently. In the future, I would like to ask Your Excellency Annie to enjoy the scenery and often come to listen to opera?"

After thinking about who Anne was, and then thinking about some of Anne's great achievements, such as some of her deeds in Mond and the battle of Qianyan Army in Yujing and leaving calmly, the person who came did not dare to neglect them, so he hurried forward and saluted Anne and introduced himself solemnly.

"Uh-huh!"

(⌒⌒)

"Hello, lady!"

(°°)

However, food was ahead, Anne just waved her hand and continued to eat it without hesitation.

Anyway, there are not many delicious snacks left in this box, and they are somewhat to her taste, so Annie thinks, if you have anything to say, you can wait for her to finish it first?

As for whether the gifts sent by others are done by themselves, she has to wait until she finishes eating them!
