In November, the coldness of winter becomes obvious.

The release of "Fate" has increased the sales of Zhongxia's comic magazines. Some media regard Jingyue as a manga artist the next genius. The significance of "Fate" to Zhongxia has been compared with the significance of "Detective Conan" to Phoenix Company many times.

However, Jingyue is just a "new cartoonist" after all, and the impact it brought slowly dissipated with time. Even though "Fate" made Zhongxia's comics look back, it was just a sign that it failed to make Zhongxia's magazine's total sales surpass Phoenix.

In the eyes of Phoenix's senior management, what is terrifying about "Fate" is not the comics, but the superposition effect of its full copyright operation such as animations, novels and movies. The full copyright operation of "Fate" is no longer a secret in the industry, but when it starts to operate is a mystery.

Zhongxia Company did not strike while the iron was hot to announce the news. This is strange and makes people unable to understand their intentions.

"See you tomorrow after get off work." "See you tomorrow!"

In the evening, after the day's work, the employees of Phoenix Company said goodbye. However, in the ding building of Phoenix Building, Xu Jing's office was still bright, and several ministers lined up in front of his desk with documents, waiting for him to handle the work.

"Mr. Xu, here, here, here we have to sign..." At the front of the team, a minister was opening the document and flipping the pages that needed to be signed one by one.

"Slow down, slow down, let me finish watching it!" Xu Jing was so busy that he was sweating profusely, but he did not dare to take any work lightly. In the absence of Meng Huo and Alice, any of his signatures could cause misjudgment.

On November 7th, Alice went to Su Hua to meet Meng Huo in the morning. Then she took the high-speed train in the evening to Meng Huo's hometown. They returned to Qingcheng County for two days, and then attended the banquet held by Zhongxia Company for "The Sword of Fairy" on the evening of November 9th.

Meng Huo had sufficient reasons to return home this time, but Xu Jing could not stop him. Considering that it was only two days, Xu Jing did not restrict Alice from following him. He felt that he could easily handle the work of the two days. He did not expect that he would encounter trouble on the day they left.

Since Alice served as vice president, Xu Jing handed over most of the work to her, but it took more than half a year. After taking over it, he found that these work suddenly became unfamiliar.

Phoenix Company has expanded rapidly in recent times. The work six months ago was completely different from the work six months later. The specific business that needs to be handled is also unfamiliar, so Xu Jing had to be cautious.

"Am I relying too much on Alice?" When she was sweating profusely, Xu Jing couldn't help but wonder if he was relying too much on Alice. She felt the pressure as soon as she left, and then she had to be exhausted for the next two days.

"In the future...it seems that she can't ask for leave casually!"

He made a decision in his heart, which made Alice, who had just walked off the high-speed rail in Qingcheng, sneeze.

"What's wrong?" Meng Huo turned around and looked at him with a little worried: "Is it very cold?"

Alice rolled up her scarf and nodded slightly: "Maybe a little."

The sky in Qingcheng is already dark. Unlike the railway stations in big cities, the lights on the platform of this small county town are not particularly bright. You can clearly feel the chill in the air after leaving the high-speed rail carriage.

"It seems to be colder here than Su Hua and Ninghai," she said.

"Of course, this is a mountainous area." Meng Huo smiled. Su Hua's air at night gave him a similar feeling to autumn, but the temperature in Qingcheng County is more in line with the characteristics of the season.

After a few words, neither of them continued to talk and turned their eyes to the group of people who were running over quickly.

"Teacher He Xi, welcome home!" Ji Lan came over with a group of people. Several of them looked like staff at the station. The rest were wearing police uniforms. At first glance, Meng Huo thought he was arresting criminals!

Meng Huo was startled: "Minister Ji, you are..." His eyes looked at the police, and Ji Lan smiled and said: "There are some media and tourists coming to Qingcheng these two days. The county is worried about your safety, so he sent the police here and I will introduce it to you."

Ji Lan introduced several police officers to Meng Huo, and then led by the station staff, walked out of the station through the internal passage of the station and took the car that came to pick them up.

Meng Huo and his party had five people, in addition to him and Alice, there were three bodyguards. Li Qin came back a day early. Chen Jie was unable to set off with Meng Huo. She and Li Qin came home yesterday.

"After the news of Miss Chen Jie's return came out, I was not at ease today." Ji Lan explained that the main reason why he sent police to ensure Meng Huo's safety was that Chen Jie attracted many fans of the animation.

In the few counties next door, the city, and even further away, people came over to watch Chen Jie's performances and activities. Some of them also learned about Meng Huo's possible return, and more people may come tomorrow and the next two days.

Although these animation fans generally have no malice, Meng Huo and Shen Jie are both public figures. The county leaders attach great importance to their safety, so they made an exception and arranged for police to ensure safety.

"We also temporarily changed the hotel where you live in Teacher He Xi. The environment may be worse than the one mentioned before. Please don't mind the teacher." Ji Lan said.

Meng Huo nodded. He had no requirements for his residence, as long as he didn't live in Li Village, it would be fine. Before the event in Village No. 9 was held, Meng Huo didn't want to go back because he would never be able to calm down after he went back.

The hotel Ji Lan mentioned is a special hotel, but Meng Huo had heard Liu Yi say that this hotel is said to be a place specially used by the government to entertain important guests. Ordinary people don’t know it, but there are many special dishes from Qingcheng County.

After arriving at the hotel, Meng Huo found that some people had prepared dinner and were waiting. The lead was the county magistrate he knew, and some leaders of the Propaganda Department and the Education Bureau. What surprised Meng Huo was that his junior high school principal and Liu Yi's father were also present. It can be seen that the county has put a lot of thought into it.

Needless to say, the dinner process was not to mention. Everyone was very enthusiastic about Meng Huo's trip. The county magistrate even proposed to send a large army to visit the scenic spot tomorrow. Liu Yi's father and the principal of junior high school came for this purpose.

However, in the face of such warm hospitality, Meng Huo thought about it for a long time and finally refused their accompanying, including the county magistrate.

"I won't bother you about this."

Meng Huo didn't want to mobilize so much, and that would be even more eye-catching. And he understood that many of them had the idea of ​​dealing with him well. But Meng Huo's purpose was very simple, and he just wanted to look around. He took the opportunity to relax the pressure of work, and it was not good if he had too many other things mixed in.

However, it is not easy for him to reject these people. No matter it is for Qingcheng's tourism career or personal thoughts, no one wants to miss this opportunity to approach the "No. 1 comic artist in China".

Under their persuasion, Meng Huo almost couldn't stand it. Fortunately, there was Alice next to him and Alice solved the problem in just a few words.

She is different from Meng Huo because she is not from Qingcheng County, so she doesn't need to pay too much attention to her words. Moreover, she has the identity of Meng Huo's "assistant". This identity was well-known to everyone when she came last time, and no one doubts it now.

Alice's reason is comics. She called this return as Meng Huo's material. Since it was the material, it should be arranged to be quieter so that Meng Huo can better experience the landscape of Qingcheng.

"It is enough to send a few people to protect the safety." Alice successfully convinced the county magistrate. After all, Meng Huo's primary purpose was indeed to experience the scenery and human feelings, and he didn't want Meng Huo to be disgusted.

If Meng Huo was dissatisfied with tomorrow's itinerary and did not help Qingcheng draw more strokes in the comics in the future, wouldn't their invitation be wasted? In the end, the county magistrate decided to serve as a tour guide himself. With his exclusive driver and several policemen, a total of five people accompanied Meng Huo to visit the scenic spot.

After dinner, Meng Huo returned to the room and quickly called Li Qin and Shen Jie to inform him of his return, and asked them if they would like to be together tomorrow.

"I'll forget it, the village is very busy." Li Qin refused first. She wanted to help in the village. Moreover, when she went home in the scenic area of ​​Qingcheng County in recent years, she often went for a walk when she went home, and there was no place left behind.

Although Shen Jie was very moved, she refused in the end.

"Go with Alice, I won't see you these days." She said. After she came back yesterday, her movements were stared at by some reporters. In this case, contacting Meng Huo would cause trouble for him.

Meng Huo was a little worried about the situation at her home: "Your home has not been harassed by reporters, right?"

"No, the security of the community where I live is very strict." Shen Jie was very glad that her family lived in the community. The property management in the community immediately raised the entry and exit standards after she knew that she had come back. No strangers were allowed to enter the community.

Meng Huo felt at ease: "Your community security guard is very good, and he can actually recognize strangers."

"We are an old community, and we know each other even if our neighbors are not familiar with each other. Besides, it is easy for strangers to see such small places." Shen Jie smiled. The total population of Qingcheng County is only a few hundred thousand, and you can see acquaintances everywhere when you go out.

Of course, the government has helped. During the past few days when Shen Jie was at home, guests were not allowed to enter the entire community, which also had some impact on the residents of the community. Fortunately, Shen Jie didn't go home for a long time, so the neighbors could understand it. Moreover, there was a big star next to her home, so they were very proud.

"Don't worry about me. Let's have a good time in Qingcheng tomorrow. As a Qingcheng native, you know too little about your hometown..." Shen Jie reminded that she is different from Meng Huo. She has liked the mountains and rivers of Qingcheng since she was a child, and she has basically traveled all of them.

Shen Jie is actually a very home-loving person. The reason why she hasn't come back much in the past two years is that she has changed her identity. Every time she goes home, she has a lot of things, which gives her a different feeling. But she still hopes that Meng Huo can learn more about Qingcheng, regardless of whether he can use it in comics or not, at least the two of them can have more topics on weekdays.

Alice also had a similar idea. She actually didn't care where Meng Huo went to visit the scenery. She was actually just trying to have a common memory with him in Meng Huo's hometown.

The next morning, before dawn, at six o'clock, the county magistrate brought the driver to welcome Meng Huo. With only one day, the county magistrate, who was enthusiastic about developing Qingcheng, did not want to waste any chance, and led Meng Huo and Alice to the first scenic spot, "Qingcheng Waterfall".

The time to arrive at the waterfall was 7 o'clock in the morning, and the scenic spot had just opened, and Meng Hu and others were the first tourists.

The county magistrate personally led the team, so the scenic spot naturally did not dare to neglect. The person in charge came to be a guide himself. The group had breakfast in the pavilion opposite the waterfall. The foggy waterfall had a unique charm in the newborn sunlight.

"It's a pity that the season is wrong. If it's spring and summer, the waterfall will be more beautiful." The person in charge of the scenic spot looked regretful. Meng Huo ate the noodles and thought it was already good. He got up early in the morning to see the waterfall, which gave him a very fresh feeling.

Of course, this breakfast is also good. If you stand here hungry, Meng Huo will not feel any good. Alice is taking a photo with her camera. The waterfall is not small. She was surprised that Qingcheng would have such a special scenery, and she began to look forward to today's itinerary.

Unfortunately, this scenic spot has nothing to look good except for the waterfall. After breakfast, the county magistrate took Meng Huo and the others to another scenic spot, which is an ancient city wall with a history of nearly a thousand years. There is also a village next to it, which has very ancient winemaking techniques.

Alice and Meng Huo couldn't help but drink some wine. It was sweet and delicious. This was rice wine, which was very shallow and could not intoxicate people.

Then the two were taken to see five other attractions. The itinerary for the day was dense. Although it was a bit regretful that they could not finish all of them, Alice and Meng Huo were both satisfied, and Meng Huo also added a lot of ideas.

However, the idea he added was not the scenery of the scenic area. In fact, the natural and historical landscapes of Qingcheng are not needed for the time being. He paid more attention to some special details encountered during the tour of the scenic area in Qingcheng County.

For example, some rural customs and impressions, Buddha statues supplied by roadside ancestral halls, etc. are things that are only available in small counties like Qingcheng. Meng Huo needs these things, which he can use in the comics "Natsume Friends' Account".
