Conceal eye color.

Why?

It can only be because of the strange blood in this girl's body that gave her an unusual eye color.

But the left eye is covered but the right eye is not?

Strange pupils?

Li Guanqi thought for a while, but he couldn't remember which shogunate family had a different left eye and a black right eye.

He also didn't feel the presence of the alien blood power in the girl's body... was it because he hadn't fully awakened yet?

And the old man who died was just an ordinary person, an ordinary person?

Li Guanqi felt a little strange.

But he still came up with a rough story.

This girl's family was in decline, and she was hunted by a rival family. She escaped on her own, and was escorted by her family's elders or servants. Then the guard was killed, and she was almost violated by three gangsters.

Hmm... maybe, this can also trigger a mission?

"May I have your name?"

Li Guanqi looked at the girl kneeling on the ground crying.

"Mori, Morishita Yoshiko."

The girl's voice was very soft, with a hint of crying.

Li Guanqi didn't pay attention to the name, which sounded like a pseudonym. He just looked at the old man lying on the ground calmly and said softly: "Falled Leaves Angelica Root, Miss Morishita, where do you live? Let me help you send grandpa back."

"No, thank you for your kindness."

Morishita Yoshiko shook his head, walked to the old man's still slightly warm body, lowered his head, and sobbed softly.

"My grandfather and my grandson have lost their homes a long time ago. We came to Zhongchuan Town this time to join our relatives, but we didn't expect it..."

Her back was lonely, and her voice contained a restrained cry.

Then, she got up and walked towards the door of the ruined temple.

Li Guanqi stood there, silently watching this frail and beautiful girl take the short knife from a gangster's waist, walked outside the ruined temple, and dug under the tree bit by bit.

A pit was dug.

Then he turned back to the ruined temple. With great difficulty, he carried his grandfather on his back with unsteady steps, returned to the grave, and carefully placed him in the pit.

Finally buried in the soil.

The girl buried her grandfather in this foreign land with tears of sadness.

During the process, Li Guanqi offered help, but she politely refused.

After all the action, it was already late at night.

"Feel sorry."

Morishita Ryoko came to Li Guanqi and wiped her dirt-stained hands on her pink skirt. "I have only been minding my own affairs and have never thanked you for saving my life."

As she spoke, she performed a dignified Sakura girl etiquette.

"Thank you sir for saving me."

Morishita Yoshiko looked at Li Guanqi with a sad look in his eyes, and whispered: "If it weren't for you, sir, I'm afraid that my little girl's innocence will not be guaranteed."

"No need to thank me."

Li Guanqi waved his hand calmly, "I didn't save you for free, I want to repay you."

Hearing these words, Morishita Yoshiko lowered his eyes and bit his red lips lightly, "But... my little girl's family has undergone tremendous changes, and there is really nothing to repay."

"It's on you."

Li Guanqi pointed to her legs.

Morishita Ryoko's delicate body trembled suddenly, and she raised her eyes to look at Li Guanqi in disbelief, "First... Sir, you..."

There were faint tears in the corners of her eyes, as if she couldn't believe that she had just emerged from the tiger's den and fallen into the wolf again...

"Hey, don't get me wrong."

Li Guanqi couldn't help but smile, and then pointed to her leg again, this time more specifically, pointing to her white right ankle, "I mean that, give it to me."

"Eh?"

Morishita Ryoko was startled and looked down blankly.

My right foot...

There was an anklet made of tiny silver beads and rattan beads strung together.

"this?"

Morishita Ryoko looked at Li Guanqi in confusion, "Sir, why do you want this...?"

"How about you first tell me where it came from?"

Li Guanqi asked.

This chain was requested by the Demon Sword. It is equivalent to a charging item for the simulator. How did Liangzi get it?

"This is a gift from my mother."

Morishita Yoshiko lowered his head, looked at the silver chain on his ankle, and said softly: "According to the custom of my family, every girl must wear a silver chain on her right foot until she gets married. Then she can take it off and give it to her husband.

It shows one's chastity before marriage. Although it has some commemorative significance, it is essentially an ordinary silver chain."

"So your mother got this silver chain."

Li Guanqi frowned slightly, "Then how did she get it? Where did she get it? Is she...still there?"

"It's a pity."

Morishita Ryoko just shook her head slightly, "My mother never told me these things, and she died long ago when I was young."

"Okay."

Li Guanqi was a little helpless, but there was nothing he could do, "Give it to me."

"Eh?"

Morishita Ryoko was a little surprised, as if she couldn't figure out why Li Guanqi still wanted this worthless silver chain after she had explained everything clearly.

"It, it's not worth anything."

Morishita Ryoko said blankly.

"I know."

Li Guanqi nodded calmly, "But please give it to me."

"..."

Morishita Ryoko gritted his teeth.

That’s all.

Her eyes narrowed, as if she had made some determination, and she bent down and took off the silver ankle chain.

It was this adult who saved his innocence, so why bother giving him an anklet that just symbolized chastity?

not to mention……

The family is gone, and the so-called family customs have ceased to exist in name only.

"If you don't mind it, sir..."

Morishita Yoshiko presented this silver beaded vine chain with both hands.

"It's settled."

Li Guanqi took the silver bead vine chain, then hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Maybe I can help you, if you are willing to tell me the whole thing."

"Sir, you have helped me a lot."

Morishita Ryoko smiled and said, "My relatives in Nakagawa Town are not far away. I can just walk there by myself."

"……All right."

Seeing that she didn't want to say anything, Li Guanqi stopped trying to force her.

Just don't bother her anymore.

"You and I are clear, let's take our leave."

Li Guanqi took the silver beaded rattan chain and turned around to leave.

…

…

Li Guanqi left the ruined temple and did not stop until he was several miles away.
