Whoosh!

As a dark portal appeared out of thin air, Lu Qi and Xili, riding horses, arrived at the outskirts of a village.

Not far away, a peasant woman who was feeding chickens looked at the two of them in amazement.

"Jealous Fire Village...is this here?"

As if in a trance, Xili just stared at the village. After a while, she responded in a deep voice:

"This is here. I still remember the appearance of the village. It hasn't changed at all..."

"So what do we do now?"

"Ask someone."

After saying that, Xili kicked the horse in the belly, rode the horse forward, and came to the peasant woman.

"Are you local?"

Seeing the green eyes under the black eyeshadow, the peasant woman had no time to escape. She quickly took a few steps back and said with chattering teeth:

"I didn't do anything, I was just feeding the chickens...Okay, don't hurt me..."

"We won't hurt you, just answer her questions."

Perhaps it was because Lu Qi's smile was relatively kind, or because he secretly used the Yaksi Seal to stabilize the other party's mood. The peasant woman swallowed before speaking:

"Yes, I am a local, born in Bolka Village, I mean Jealousy Village."

"Were you here last summer to autumn?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Last September," Shiri on horseback began, "To be more precise, on September 10th, during the first quarter moon, six young people were killed here. Four boys, two girls...

Do you know about this?"

"I remember, ma'am."

"That is to say, you should know..." After a pause, Shirley raised her head slightly, as if she was trying hard not to shed tears, and her tone trembled slightly: "Where are they buried, right? No matter where it is,

Take me there, do you understand?"

"I understand." The peasant woman nodded, then put down the basket in her hand and led the way: "Madam, sir, come with me, it's not far from here."

The peasant woman took the two of them to the village cemetery, in front of a neatly tidied low hill.

"Who did this?" As he spoke, Xili's eyes always stayed on the cemetery.

"Many people in Jealous Fire Village have contributed. Everyone has been favored by the Mouse Gang, so we don't want to see them like this."

Before she finished speaking, Xili jumped off her horse, walked straight to the cemetery, knelt down, and almost her entire upper body lay on the sandstone slab of the cemetery.

Seeing this, Lu Qi frowned, but did not jump off the horse, but just let the girl kneel quietly in front of the tomb.

For a long time, the silver-haired girl knelt in front of the cemetery like this, her lips moving silently, as if she was talking to the people in the cemetery.

With Lu Qi's sensitive hearing, he could probably hear some words: "Mihir", "Bonnat", "Revenge", "Rest in Peace"...

Based on these words, Lu Qi probably made a guess.

After paying homage to the members of the Mouse Gang, Ciri vigorously wiped her misty, tearful eyes and wiped away some of the black eyeshadow before jumping on the horse again.

"let's go..."

After saying that, Xili lowered her head and drove her horse towards the outside of the village.

Lu Qi was stunned for a moment, then turned his horse's head and followed closely...

After silently following the girl, about half a mile out of the village, Xili spoke again;

"Thank you."

"Why?"

"Thank you for not asking me what happened."

"Whatever you want to say, you will naturally say it."

"Then do you want to hear it?"

"OK."

"It was a gray afternoon..."

So, on the way to the next location, Xili told Lu Qi about her days in the Mouse Gang and the day she met Bonnet in Jealous Fire Village.

And of course, everything that happens after that...

...

One day at the end of May.

Shortly after midnight, some residents of Claremont were awakened by a bright red light shining through their windows.

At the sound of the fire alarm, other residents in the town jumped out of bed and ran out of the house, causing a commotion.

Strangely, only one house in the entire town was on fire.

It was a large wooden building that was once a temple, but now it has been transformed into an arena to provide residents with a place for entertainment.

The usually bustling arena has turned into a sea of ​​fire, swaying in the raging flames.

On a certain tower in the town, Lu Qi and Xili were quietly watching the flames, engulfing the building bit by bit, and burning all the bad memories Xili had in this arena.

Almost exhausted.

"Is this enough?"

"enough..."

"Where do we go next?"

"Next," the girl took a deep breath, and then said softly: "We are going to a village called Unicorn. It is named after the unicorn straw statue that was blessed there. It was just a pitiful and ridiculous doll,

But it once gave me a lot of hope and help. I want it to become at least a little more decent, and I want to ask for your help..."

"No problem, Ciri. What's next?"

"Perelat Swamp. I believe that I will find a small cabin in the middle of the swamp. Inside the cabin is the body of a man. I hope that the body will rest in a decent grave."

Hearing this, Lu Qi blinked and said nothing.

"Then... there is the village of Don Dale outside the swamp. Most of the pubs there have been burned down, and the tavern owners may have been killed. It's my fault, I was blinded by hatred and hatred, and let that happen.

..."

After a pause, Xili turned her head, met Lu Qi's black eyes, and whispered: "If he has a family, I wonder if I can compensate them..."

"This kind of thing cannot be compensated." Lu Qi said calmly.

"I know!" The girl suddenly became excited, and her tone was slightly angry: "But I will stand in front of them with shame, and I will remember their eyes. I hope that the memory of these eyes can remind me not to

Making the same mistake again! Alex, do you understand?”

Facing the girl's stubborn tearful eyes, Lu Qi just smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and patted the girl's head gently:

"I understand what you mean. Let's go!"

...

In the next week, the two followed Xili's footsteps and returned to several places where they left memories, fulfilling Xili's wish...

After completing the memory trip of revisiting the old place, in order to relieve Xili's low mood, Lu Qi decided to take her to the "fairy tale country" Toussaint.

Firstly, it can help Ciri get over the bad memories of the past; secondly, it can also visit Dandelion, Milva, and Angoulein and tell them about the battle of Styga.
