Chapter 136 Going to Prayer Town
On New Year's Eve, the streets are decorated with lights and festoons, and everything is full of festive atmosphere.

Because of Qiao Zhiping's absence in the Qiao's mansion, and Qiao Muli is not a person who pays special attention to the festive atmosphere, with a big wave of his hand, all the servants in the villa are on vacation.

Liu Wu was so grateful that he burst into tears, "Thank you Miss, I haven't been home for more than a year."

She waved her hand, "Go back quickly, your daughter should have been waiting for you for a long time."

The villa looked much deserted without the servants. She sat on the steps at the door, propped her chin up and looked up at the sky.

Butler Cheng's voice sounded behind her: "Miss, dinner is ready."

Qiao Muli didn't expect that there was still someone there, so he turned around in surprise, "Butler Cheng, aren't you going home?"

He smiled kindly: "Miss, I have worked here for 20 years, and this is my home."

She remembered that Steward Cheng was a comrade-in-arms of one of his grandfather's subordinates. His parents died young and he had no home for a long time.

"Thank you for your contribution to the Qiao family for so many years," Qiao Muli said sincerely, "Happy New Year, Steward Cheng."

"Happy New Year, Miss."

Qiao Muli sat at the dining table after dinner, staring at the phone screen.

While cleaning the table, Steward Cheng noticed that the interface was a chat box, "Are you waiting for news from Master Li Jing?"

She lay on the table, stretched out her hand, and shook the phone left and right, "Yeah, he hasn't heard from him since this morning."

"I heard that Boss Li is back today, maybe he took Master Li Jing back to Qiyuan Town."

"Praying Town?" Qiao Muli had heard about this place, it is a small town in Kyoto, "What are they going there for?"

Butler Cheng knew a lot, so he said one by one: "Master Li Jing went to elementary school there, and Mr. Li lived there all the time before he returned to Kyoto."

She sat up, "Is there an electric car in the garage?"

"Miss, do you want to...?"

"Go to Prayer Town."

Qiao Muli has always relied on Liu Wu's pick-up and drop-off when traveling, so he has no idea of ​​getting a driver's license. The only means of transportation he knows is an electric car.

After persuading Steward Cheng, she wrapped herself up tightly and went out.

Praying Town is not too far from the center of Kyoto, but it takes an hour to ride an electric car.

She also put a layer of plush fabric in the safety helmet, even if the cold wind blows head-on, she can't feel the cold.

Qiao Muli drove all the way to the entrance of Wishing Town according to the navigation. She took out her mobile phone and called Li Jing, but it took a long time to connect.

"Li Jing, guess where I am?"

There was the faint sound of fireworks on the other side of the phone. She looked up at the sky, but she didn't see anyone setting off fireworks in the town.

"at home?"

"Not here," Qiao Muli looked at the plaque at the entrance, and read out the small words at the bottom, "It was established in July 1978."

Hearing the familiar content, Li Jing was stunned, "Are you praying for the town?"

She asked expectantly and carefully: "Yes, are you surprised or not?"

His voice sank a bit, "Go to the village entrance and wait for me at Granny Zhao's house for half an hour, don't blow the wind at the entrance."

Qiao Muli asked suspiciously: "Ah? Why?"

Although he was coaxing, his tone was a little hasty: "Be obedient, go in first."

She didn't know why, but stopped the car anyway.

There was only one family at the entrance of the village, and Qiao Muli accurately found Granny Zhao's house.

"Hi, excuse me." She knocked on the door.

The wooden door was quickly opened, and an old man with a kind face asked her with a smile, "Little girl, what's the matter?"
