Chapter 128: Ritual
"It's nice here. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "When Yingu entered the vicinity of Tian Zhongqiu's house, he gave a good evaluation of the environment here, but just like a normal person, he ignored the sign standing at the entrance of the forest with the name of the place.
The land on the light vein, because of the relationship between the underground light vein, grows very fast, and everything you grow can be highly productive, and what Yin Gu said is not that the land here is good, but that Tian Zhongqiu will take care of this place well.
Tian Zhongqiu looked at the grass and trees, breathed a long sigh of relief, and breathed the air that belonged to nature.
"Yes, it's really good, if I hadn't found a few helpers, the grass here would have grown taller than the trees alone."
In March and April, coupled with Yura, Yingcao and Oak, Tian Zhongqiu needs a lot of manpower, and sometimes Tian Zhongqiu wants to recruit two more helpers, but because of all aspects of consideration, he still gave up, and everyone can work hard to maintain it well.
"Hmm." Yingu didn't say much, and after chatting for a while, he was silent, and he had already thought about this time when he was on the road, and there were some things that Yingu didn't know how to talk to Tian Zhongqiu.
"You see, it was not easy when I built this house, this time I came here to stay for two more days, anyway, I don't have to worry about insects here, the mountain owner of the nearby Daxue Mountain is here with me, I remember you said, the mountain owner can help you get rid of insects, right?" Tian Zhongqiu took Yingu to his doorstep and looked at his wooden house, which had not yet been built when Yingu left last time.
I thought that this wooden house had been busy for a while, and that he and Suzu had been living in the tent for several days.
Just thinking about it, Tian Zhongqiu felt that his bedding was much warmer.
"It's still winter outside, isn't it?" Tian Zhongqiu asked an irrelevant question.
Yingu was wearing a winter coat, and when he arrived here, it was indeed a little hot, so he took off his coat and folded it in his hand, and he was wearing a sweater.
"Yes, I originally planned to find a place with a mountain lord to sleep in for the winter, but I didn't expect to be called over by you." Yingu sighed, he didn't like winter.
"Hibernation? Aren't you afraid of being overwhelmed by bugs? Tian Zhongqiu didn't know that Yin Gu had this kind of behavior, so he was very curious.
Yin Gu took a puff of his cigarette, shook his head and said, "That's why I have to find a place where there is a mountain lord to sleep, as long as it is arranged, there will generally be no problems." ”
"Then it's okay for me to be here, I have a ready-made mountain lord here, and the snow girl of the Great Snow Mountain has signed a contract with me last time and has become my partner! Now she's September, the name I gave! "Tian Zhongqiu is very proud when he says this, last time in September, he forced Tian Zhongqiu, Yingu, Natsume and the three monsters to a dead end, and now Tian Zhongqiu has signed a contract with the Snow Maiden!
Yin Gu didn't agree, and directly refused, "No, I want to meet someone this winter." ”
"Oh? Male or female? "Tian Zhongqiu felt that the person Yingu was going to see didn't look like a man.
Yin Gu didn't answer, he looked at Tian Zhongqiu helplessly and said, "I feel that you have changed a little, and you are more ...... than before."
Yin Gu couldn't find the right words to describe how he felt at this time.
"More stupid?" Tian Zhongqiu looked at Yingu with a smile, and didn't mind the embarrassing default expression that the other party showed at this time, "It's really silly and a little funny, but I've really rarely been angry recently, and I've been angry when I've been outside, but after here, there are few emotions like that, and there are indispensable little girls around me, so it's like this." Of course, the main reason is that I am married. ”
Tian Zhongqiu pushed open the door, the door was not so big when it was designed, Tian Zhongqiu modified the door in order to let March enter the house, not only the outside door, but also the door inside the room.
Hanekawa walked out when he heard the sound, and greeted him politely when he saw Gingu, "Hello, Mr. Gingu. ”
"This is Tsubasa Hanekawa, and it's Tsubasa Tanaka." Tian Chukai briefly introduced Tsubasa Hanekawa, and this level of introduction is enough, and there is no need to take care of so many things.
Yin Gu felt that the other party was not an ordinary human being, and there was also a kind of weirdness on his body, but there should be nothing wrong with Tian Zhongqiu's side that was not weird, "Hello." ”
"Hanekawa, I'm going to prepare lunch, and you go and call back the ones who are hanging out outside."
"Okay."
When cooking, Tian Zhongqiu is in charge of cooking, and Yingu and April are in charge of doing it.
While Tian Zhongqiu was cooking, he chatted with Yingu, "Yinggu, how is your matter resolved?" ”
"It's a little thrilling.,The problem over there is really caused by worms.,It's a kind of insect that can devour living humans.,And then spit human information into the form of small particles on the surface of the sea soon after.,After the people there give the particles to the women to eat.,It's able to give birth to humans who are exactly the same as the devoured.,From childhood.,Step by step, it's slowly overlapping with the previous humans.,But there's a little difference.,After all, it's not the same person before.。 While washing the dishes, Yingu recalled the trip.
Tanakashi thought that rebirth was another form of rebirth, but after knowing that it was actually this kind of rebirth, he felt a lot more bored, "So do you have any memories of the rebirth?" ”
"No, but they will slowly have their previous habits and personalities, and their appearance is the same, and they are also entrusted with too many feelings." Speaking of this, Yingu looked at Tian Zhongqiu, a little curious about this person's choice, "If you encounter this kind of thing, will you choose to send those around you who are dying to be devoured by insects, and then raise people who are exactly the same?" ”
"I don't know, I'm not at the point where I think about that kind of thing." Tian Zhongqiu replied casually, and after answering, he thought of this possibility, so he said again: "But don't worry, if you die, I won't find a woman to give birth to you, I don't have the bad taste of being your father and brother." ”
"I'm serious, don't expect anything from me, even if you tell me this kind of thing, I won't do that." Tian Zhongqiu said seriously.
Yin Gu was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Well, please be serious, I don't want to meet that worm again." ”
"Did you tell that worm about me? I think that worm is very good, although I don't send my own people to feed the worm, it's also good that I can't make a contract! Sounds like a lot of power! "Tian Zhongqiu is currently a pseudokudzu, so he also wants to increase his combat power and capture another worm.
"I was almost eaten, don't talk about communication, if you want, bring someone over yourself." Yin Gu knew Tian Zhongqiu's ability, the other party would not encounter danger in the past, and maybe he could also end that strange reincarnation.
"And the worms want to eat you? Don't you have a big bug on you? "Tian Zhongqiu knew that there was a worm on Yingu's body that could devour everything, so he felt very strange after knowing that there was a bug that wanted to eat Yingu.
"It's not a bug, it's a bug. And it shouldn't have anything to do with them, the worm is under the sea on the edge of the island, and it only appears when the moon is shrouded in shadows, and I was lucky enough to come out when the moon was about to be eaten. Yingu recalled the events of the current period, and he was still a little lucky.
Tian Zhongqiu wouldn't understand Yingu's feelings, he now looked down on things like death.
"Master, the dishes are washed." April listened quietly on the side, feeling that Tian Zhongqiu was talking strange things to this person, but he didn't care about listening if he didn't understand, and honestly washed his own dishes.
"Well, just put it there, please go to the river and get some water." Tian Zhongqiu looked at the things in the kitchen and found something to do for April.
"Yes." April stood up, dried his hands with a towel on the side, and then picked up the bucket and left the kitchen.
The kitchen is the key building of Tanakami's house, and it is usually used by Suzu and Tsubasa Hanekawa, and the dishes made in April are relatively light because of their personal tastes.
It's not that she did it on purpose, but her palate is like that, and she can't taste the rich flavor.
Yingu put the washed dishes aside and leaned against the cupboard to laze himself, looking up at the branches that could only be seen a little outside the window, with green leaves on them, not like native trees.
"What do you think about Miss Hanekawa?" Yingu asked about business.
Tanakata put the clay pot on the stove and began to heat it, and after setting the heat, he sat down on a small bench on the side, and while handling the vegetables that were to be put into the pot, he said, "I am an abnormal person, and so is Hanekawa, and my body can no longer be considered a human being, but Hanekawa is." Therefore, I want to use the power of the mountain lord to turn Hanekawa into a worm in the insect feast. ”
"Do you know what that means?" Yin Gu looked at Tian Zhongqiu, the other party has that ability, but Yin Gu doesn't want the other party to abuse that ability and turn people into worms, Yin Gu doesn't want to see it.
Tian Zhongqiu didn't know, so he had to listen to Yingu's opinion on this very critical matter, which was why Tian Zhongqiu invited Yingu over, "Please say." ”
Yin Gu looked at the young man in front of him, the other party at this time and the young man he saw at the beginning overlapped, but it was still very different, it seemed to be a little more mature, but thinking that this person would always make some cold jokes and other jokes before, Yin Gu felt that the other party was indeed a little weird.
"This kind of thing is a bit too heavy for a person." Yin Gu said the beginning, and when he sighed and was about to continue, he was interrupted by Tian Zhongqiu.
"Then let Hanekawa come over and listen together, if one person doesn't work, it's two people. Actually, I don't think it's a big deal, it's not that serious, right? "Tian Zhongqiu doesn't feel that things are so pessimistic and heavy, it's just a very easy thing!
Let Yingu come over for reference and make an insurance.
Tian Zhongqiu stood up, looked at the clay pot for a long time to be good, and said, "Let's go, Hanekawa should be back." ”
Yin Gu nodded, stood up and followed.
Tsubasa Hanekawa was in the living room, and when he saw Tian Chuqiu coming out, he walked over, "Did you cook so quickly?" ”
"No, I want to hear with you what he has to say." Tian Zhongqiu pointed at Yingu and said.
Tsubasa Hanekawa and Tanakata sat on one side, while Gingu sat on the other side, like elementary school students waiting for their teacher to give a lecture.
Yin Gu felt that the originally heavy topic was suddenly not heavy, but this kind of thing should be talked about more heavily, so he said in a low voice: "I told you about the insect feast, and it is also something I encountered during my journey, because some things have become inhuman and non-insect grandmothers asked me to help restore the wine cup she got from the mountain lord in order to let her grandson see her, and if you do this, you will not be an adult." In accordance with her wishes, I turned her into a worm......"
"But is it really good to do that? I don't know ...... either."
"If you become a worm, it's not the same as death. Worms are beings between life and death, both [creatures] and [dead things], hovering between life and death, which is more cruel and unimaginable than instant death. ”
"Gradually, the will of man will be worn away......"
"It's like that, but she's still gone."
"I don't know if I did that right......"
Tsubasa Hanekawa heard this story, and at this time he raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute, the version I heard is a little different from this one, shouldn't it be a little Lori and a little Shota?" ”
Yin Gu opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, looking at Tian Zhongqiu, I don't know what he told at the beginning was obviously a sad and heavy story, how did the other party understand it?!
Tian Zhongqiu also realized that he had misunderstood it at the beginning, although it was indeed like that, but there was a little discrepancy.
There is a saying that seems to say that, a story, a hundred people have a hundred understandings, and Tian Zhongqiu feels that his understanding is just a little ambiguous.
"Well, Hanekawa thinks too much, although that grandma is indeed the appearance of a little girl, but I was talking to you about a very heavy topic, that grandma met the mountain lord when she was a child, and in order to always take care of her future grandson, she became a human and a worm after drinking half of the light wine. In the insect form, she has always maintained the character and figure of a little girl, and in human form, she is not clear about those things, and she did not accompany the boy for long before he died, and then Yingu helped the little girl become a worm, so that the boy could see her, and then accompanied him through the second half of his human life. ”
Hanekawa Tsubasa nodded, although Tian Zhongqiu didn't say so at the beginning, but at this time, he still had to maintain Tian Zhongqiu's face, and Hanekawa Tsubasa took the blame for Tian Zhongqiu.
"Okay, I'll help you hold a worm feast, I think there are some things that I don't need to talk about anymore, you all have that kind of awareness." Yingu couldn't get up, and he also showed a helpless smile, these two people are not normal people, and the woman named Hanekawa has a consciousness that does not belong to people.
Tian Zhongqiu took out the wine cup and put it on the table, "This was given to me by the mountain masters at the beginning, and I have never used it, it seems that those mountain masters have long known about it." ”
For this kind of thing, Tian Zhongqiu is not angry, in this kind of thing, Tian Zhongqiu should thank the other party.
"So, let's get started."
Yin Gu put the wine cup on the table, and then took Tian Zhongqiu back a few steps.
Tsubasa Hanekawa calmed himself down and closed his eyes.
In the living room, a cluster of green light surrounded Hanekawa Tsubasa in a circle, and it was a cloaked being, with no hands or feet, and a face that could not be seen clearly.
The underground veins of light can be seen very clearly even without pseudo-kudzu at this time, and the power from the veins of light is surging towards the Hanekawa Wing from the underground.
"Please drink this light wine prepared for you."
"After drinking it, you will be on a mission to protect those you care about."
"You will become a worm, no longer a human."
"You will gain power, the power to guard."
Tsubasa Hanekawa opened his eyes and calmly lifted the cup full of green light wine, like a bride, and drank the light wine.
