I'm not sure if the peaches I picked when I was a kid were snake eggs on the outside or real peaches on the inside.

Back then, I was rebellious and well-behaved. When I went to play in the peach grove, I still remembered my father's teachings and didn't dare to go too deep. Later, I felt hungry, so I picked a peach.

I told the story of this experience nervously. Yun Xiao grabbed my hand and put two fingers on my wrist like an old doctor trying to feel my pulse: "If you eat snake eggs, you will usually have symptoms within three days."

.You are fine after such a long time, you should be eating the real thing."

A chill overflowed from his fingertips, penetrated into my body, and flowed to my limbs.

"To be on the safe side, I'll check what's going on inside your body. It's going to be a little uncomfortable, so bear with it," Yun Xiao said.

I resisted the urge to break free, but as the chill advanced inside my body, I felt even colder and curled up subconsciously.

Yun Xiao's cold body slowly felt a warmth, which made me greedy.

By the time this chill had finished checking my body, I couldn't help but nestle in his arms.

Yun Xiao kissed my earlobe: "There is nothing abnormal in your body, don't worry."

I breathed a sigh of relief and was glad that I was lucky enough.

Yun Xiao's body gradually became colder, and I was confused: "Why does your body feel cold sometimes and warm sometimes?"

"I have practiced two different mental methods. When the mental methods are operating, the body temperature is also different." Yun Xiao explained.

He is so amazing.

"Why do you practice two different mental methods? Will there be any conflict?" I asked.

Yun Xiao didn't make a sound.

I couldn't see his face clearly in the darkness, but I felt him look away from me.

I seemed to have asked a question I shouldn't have asked, so I awkwardly changed the subject: "Do you know about Shimomura?"

Yun Xiao didn't care much: "I don't know."

"Haven't you been in the village for many years? Why don't you know anything about Xiacun?" Could it be that Yun Xiao also completely forgets everything about Xiacun when she arrives at six o'clock in the evening?

Yun Xiao tapped the tip of my nose: "I'm here to guard you, other things have nothing to do with me."

I shook my head and shook away his hand that touched my nose.

Yun Xiao lowered his head and kissed me: "Don't be angry. I have been practicing in seclusion these years. I will only come out to accompany you when you return to the village. I don't know much about this place. If you go to the village, I will follow you."

You've been there a few times, it's very strange there."

A place that would make such an old monster find it strange must be extraordinary. Yun Xiao carefully considered the wording for a while before continuing, "It's so lifeless there that mortals can't survive at all, but the villagers inside are all living people.

Moreover, there is a layer of rules shrouded there that will regularly erase ordinary people’s memories of the place.”

"Why are there rules surrounding it?" I asked.

"I don't know." Yun Xiao said for a moment, lowered his head and gently rubbed my face, and whispered, "Rules are the highest standards in this world, and they cannot be made by just anyone."

Just like flying chess, you must roll a 6 to make a move. In chess, soldiers can only move forward and cannot retreat. The chess pieces must abide by the rules. Only people outside the chess game can make the rules, otherwise the game will not be played.

But Shimomura's rules just make people forget them. What's the point?

Is there some shocking secret hidden inside, so no one knows about its existence?

Seeing that I was really confused, Yun Xiao said: "Let me accompany you to the lower village to have a look."

I really want to go, but I'm even more afraid of something happening again.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Yun Xiao seemed to be able to see through my heart. He kissed me. Before I could refuse, he picked me up and flew out of the window.
