Lu Yiming suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up from the floor, and looked toward the window warily.

Was there something standing there just now?

Well, is it dawn?

The sun is shining brightly outside the window, and the noisy chirping of cicadas enters the window gap, along with the sound of frogs.

Cicadas chirping? Frogs chirping?

The beginning of winter has passed. Where did the cicadas and frogs come from in Qingqiu? Are there any off-season varieties of these things?

Don't tell him that there are such crazy things as mosquitoes out of season.

"Lili."

Lu Yiming called softly, but received no response. He looked aside and finally noticed something was wrong.

This should be the little fox's room, but the floor is empty. There is almost nothing in the room, except for some wooden boxes and bags in the corner.

Judging from the exposed parts, all food crops are stored inside.

"Lili?!"

After he called out loudly, he still received no response from the girl.

Lu Yiming felt bad.

He wanted to find the old woman, but the door to the room didn't move at all, and the door handle seemed to be welded to the door.

No matter how hard he tried, even with the deep blue flames, he could not shake the door.

At this moment, the door to the room creaked open.

The familiar smell of the old woman entered his nose.

Lu Yiming immediately asked: "Grandma, have you seen where Lili went... Um, who are you?"

He couldn't help but be stunned.

An extremely beautiful woman slowly walked into the room. She was dressed in simple plain clothes, with a slight smile on her face. She walked like a cloud, with long snow-white hair like a waterfall, and jade-like skin like snow. There was an elegant smile on the corner of her mouth,

Her apparent age seems to be around thirty-five, which is when a woman is most charming.

Behind the woman are seven wagging fox tails, full of majestic and powerful momentum.

"Who are you?" Lu Yiming asked again respectfully.

But still no reply.

The woman didn't seem to see Lu Yiming, nor did she hear the questions he asked.

After taking a few sweet potatoes and a small can of rice from the box in the corner, the woman left the room. Lu Yiming quickly followed her out to avoid being locked in.

After going out, he shouted loudly.

"Suzushi-senpai!"

"Lili!"

"grandmother!"

No matter how much he shouted, no one answered him, and he found that he could not open any closed door.

In this precious red sandalwood cabin, there was only that beautiful and outrageous woman, lighting a fire in the back kitchen to cook and roast sweet potatoes.

After more than an hour of research, Lu Yiming finally confirmed that this beautiful woman was probably the head of the Su family. After all, the smell was too similar.

It’s so outrageous. Where is that old lady?

Why did he change his identity overnight?

And where has my little fox gone?

Suzushi-senpai doesn't seem to be here either.

The most ridiculous thing is that Lu Yiming realized that not only the Su clan leader could not see him, but also other vixens outside could not see him.

Even after approaching the water pool, his figure was not reflected in the water pool.

In the same way, under the sun, the sunlight cannot cast his shadow.

Now, he is like a ghost, wandering in this world, no one can see him.

No, the ghost can still walk through the wall, so he can only be stupidly locked in the room.

Even the cheating system, which has always been successful in the past, also gave a prompt of "temporarily unable to view the system interface due to special reasons".

what is happening?

While Lu Yiming was thinking, a small and exquisite white fox ran in from outside and entered the kitchen.

"Mom, can you eat now?" the little white fox shouted.

"Come on, Xiao Mo, where have you been playing and why are you so dirty?"

"Hehe, we were caught stealing eggs and were beaten."

"You are really brave..." The woman was a little helpless.

"What are you eating today?"

"Sweet potatoes, spiritual rice cakes, roast chicken."

"Yeah! There's roast chicken!"

Lu Yiming touched his chin.

This little white fox looked strangely familiar to him.

The fox named Aniang, the leader of the Su clan...could he be Lili's uncle?!

For such a small fox, compared with Yunyun's body shape in her teens, my uncle is probably only in his teens or 20s now, right?

Lu Yiming suddenly realized.

Is this Qingqiu the Qingqiu of decades ago?

But why does he appear here?

Or in this ghostly form?

The woman put all the food on the table and said, "Xiao Mo, please eat first. Mom has something to do today. I'll clean it up when I come back later."

The little white fox nodded: "Okay, grandma, go and do your work."

The woman touched the little white fox happily, and an afterimage disappeared instantly.

Lu Yiming wanted to follow him, but there was no trace of Chief Su. He thought for a while and left the house, preparing to go for a walk outside.

...

In the forest, several little foxes huddled together, looking at the small wooden house in the forest.

A little red fox said with an exaggerated expression: "Don't go near the house where the Su clan leader is. If you are caught, she will suck you into a fox!"

"Really or not, isn't Jing Mo alive and well?" A little black fox asked suspiciously.

"Jing Mo is the youngest son of the patriarch's family! It's too late for her to feel distressed!" The little red fox snorted coldly: "That white fox doesn't play with us either, isn't it just more than ten years older than us?

It’s boring not to call us this kind of thing.”

"Then what are we doing here today?" asked a little brown fox.

"The little red fox said mysteriously: "I heard that the back mountain of the Su lineage is very mysterious, isn't it? Are you interested in going on an adventure together to find the lost treasure?"

The little black fox shook his head, turned away, and said, "I'm not interested."

"I don't dare either. I'm afraid that Chief Su will blame me. Let's go. Amao, you can go play by yourself."

One minute later.

The little red fox gritted his teeth and looked at his friends who had all finished running.

These little friends have no spirit of exploration at all!

When I find the treasure, I will definitely not share it with you to play with! I will make you look at it with envy!

The little red fox spat and quietly moved toward the mountain.

Its 'adventure' was caught by Lu Yiming who was wandering around outside.

Is this fox Tu Shanmao?

Even though her body size has become much smaller, her stupidity can't be erased. As expected, she has always been a vixen since she was a child.

A little extrapolation, this is probably Qingqiu more than forty years ago?

I don’t know if the little fox was born at this time...

Wait a moment!

Lu Yiming thought of what Tu Shanmao came to say to him that night.

It sneaked to the back mountain where Su's lineage existed and saw the clan leader's strange behavior.

It also said that the little fox was transformed by Patriarch Yousu.

Could this be the day Tu Shanmao was talking about?

After climbing over the top of the mountain, the little red fox stopped.

There is a wall of air in front of him. With his strength, it is impossible to break through.

Even if you break in, you will be discovered immediately by the clan leader.

"Hey, there are indeed restrictions on this kind of place. It's better to leave. At worst, they will laugh at you."

The little red fox sighed and turned around to leave.

Lu Yiming thought to himself, this won't work. If you leave, who will take me to find the little fox?
