"Looking for a topic, didn't you come over when it first snowed?" Qin Shou said.
Dog Xiaotian grinned and sidled up mysteriously, "Don't you think the snow is falling strangely?"
Qin Shou nodded, "It is indeed strange. It's said that this place never sees snow the whole year round, and suddenly it snowed for a few days..."
Dog Xiaotian slapped his palm, "That's the point! Right when it began to snow, the Second Master said something was odd, and with a leap, he vanished without a trace."
Qin Shou's heart stirred, "Did he find anything?"
Dog Xiaotian shook his head, "The Second Master didn't say, but he went out several times every day. And when he left, he made me squat in the inn to watch over an old green-skinned oil lamp. He said if the lamp went out, I should go to the Heavenly Court for help. I couldn't leave my post guarding that lamp; otherwise, I would have come over to mooch some food...cough cough, I mean early to chat with you."
