morning.

Maybe it's not too early.

Three strokes higher on the day.

A woman was walking among the bamboo trees carrying a food box.

The sun pierced the white mist in the autumn morning in the bamboo forest, forming beautiful beams of light in the air.

The woman carrying the food box stopped silently in the forest and stared at the morning light for a while.

She was wearing a black dress, as dark as night...

After a while.

The back of the woman's hand was pressed against the wall of the box in her hand.

He immediately turned around and continued carrying the exquisite food box through the bamboo forest.

Facing us, our field of vision suddenly broadened.

It is a rural building hidden in the bamboo forest...

Su Qingdai is going to meet a woman who is said to be very similar to her.

…

"Dong dong dong."

Su Qingdai knocked on the courtyard door three times, paused her hands in the air, and waited.

There was no movement inside the door.

"Dong dong dong..."

She knocked three more times rhythmically.

The force is gentle.

There was still no answer in the courtyard across the door.

Did he leave?

Su Qingdai took a few steps back, farther away from the door, and looked around at this quiet and elegant courtyard.

She looked back at the bamboo forest behind her.

On the way here just now, Su Qingdai met the attendant man named Li Bai. He was washing his face with his butt raised by the stream without stopping her, which showed that Mr. Zhao was still here.

Su Qingdai thought for a while and knocked on the door a few more times, but there was still no movement.

She stretched out her hand and prepared to push the door open.

However.

A sword appeared in front of her eyes.

Specifically.

It is the first three centimeters between the eyebrows.

The tip of the sword, pointed at her.

Su Qingdai retracted her hand silently.

took a step back.

Then he glanced at the still purple slender sword, thought for a moment, and took two steps back.

Three steps plus three centimeters.

Although it is still a fatal distance that she cannot escape.

But at least she could 'understand it roughly', instead of just seeing it when it stopped in front of her eyebrows like just now.

"Ouch!"

Suddenly, a surprised cry of a girl who seemed to have fallen came from the courtyard, and then the owner of the voice shouted impatiently:

"who is it?"

Su Qingdai turned her head, but kept her eyes on the bamboo horse, "Is there anyone there? It's me, Su Qingdai, unintentionally..."

"Stop knocking, there's no one!" Xiao Qian'er replied quickly.

Su Qingdai was not angry when she was interrupted. She organized her words and continued:

"Miss Qian'er, I'm sorry for coming so early and disturbing you and...Xianzi Zhao, and Ziyu."

She raised her head and glanced at the three-pole sun, and continued: "I heard that Fairy Zhao came all the way from the Fourth Prefecture of Taiqing in Duyou City. The slave family has long admired Fairy Zhao's name..."

Xiao Qian'er interrupted angrily: "I know I'm disturbing you but you still come... Oops."

The little girl's impatient words were suddenly interrupted by something.

Immediately afterwards, there was a soft rustling sound in the yard, followed by a squeaking sound of the lock being unlocked, the sound of the door opening, and then the sound of closing the door again, all three of which sounded one after another.

Su Qingdai, who was outside the courtyard gate, heard the noise and found that these sounds were coming from the main wing.

But for some reason, Miss Qian'er was the only one talking the whole time, and neither Ziyu nor the lady Zhao Xianzi made a sound.

Tzuyu and...she should both be here, right?

Su Qingdai glanced sideways at the purple flying sword floating motionless in the air.

He gave it a friendly smile.

But the bamboo horse didn't appreciate it, and the tip of the sword was still pointed towards her.

At this time, someone finally walked out of the main room, like Xiao Qian'er's footsteps, probably coming to open the door, but the footsteps in the courtyard were slow.

Su Qingdai's smile did not change. She had actually made certain preparations when she came today.

With a creak, the courtyard door was pushed open from the inside.

Only a small seam was opened, exposing Xiao Qian'er's body.

In Su Qingdai's field of vision, she could only see the girl trying to squeeze in between the two doors, and a limited part of the sky above her head.

The girl seemed afraid of letting her in or letting her see more of the scenery inside.

Su Qingdai couldn't help but look at Xiao Qian'er who opened the door.

She looked like a girl just getting out of bed.

The smooth black hair was spread down, as if the owner had just hurriedly arranged it, tied it together, and lifted it from the back of the head to the front of the right shoulder.

But it's still a little messy.

A set of well-proportioned and close-fitting nightgown is a bit wrinkled at this time.

The collar stood up for some unknown reason, blocking the girl's thin neck and ears.

The nightgown sleeve on her right hand was still rolled up at the crook of her arm and had not been put down.

It's like the clothes you put on hastily when you just left the room.

In addition, the girl's little feet were bare, maybe because they were frozen by the cold ground, and some patches on her feet looked a little red.

She didn't even put on her shoes, so she ran over and opened the door.

However, these pink and tender feet were not stained with any dust and were clean.

Stepping on the ground, it is not stained by dust at all.

Su Qingdai looked around silently.

besides.

This girl Qian'er doesn't look like she's just been woken up.

Her face was a little flushed, her big eyes were bright and she looked very energetic.

Although her expression when she saw Su Qingdai tried to appear serious and inhumane.

Su Qingdai glanced again.

"Well, what are you looking at?"

The 'early riser' girl stood inside the door with a straight face, and the woman in black skirt stood outside the door holding a food box.

The former raised his hand as if nothing had happened, covered his neck, tilted his head and looked at the visitor.

Su Qingdai smiled and called out cordially: "Good morning, Miss Qian'er."

"What time is it, good morning..." Xiao Qian'er said angrily. Halfway through, she lowered her head and glanced at her pajamas, stopped talking, and immediately changed the subject and asked:

"what are you doing?"

Xiao Qian'er took a look at Su Qingdai and the food box in her hand.

"Miss Qian'er, is Ziyu here? Where is Fairy Zhao?"

"He... is here." Xiao Qian'er replied with a nonchalant expression. As she spoke, she looked back at the main room behind her, then turned back and murmured in a low voice: "He is busy, and so is the lady..."
