I die before you
Gensokyo. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The weather in summer is always changing. The originally clear sky was suddenly obscured by dark clouds.
Wen Xi's sunlight faded suddenly, and as the big black clouds quickly filled the sky, the rain like beans suddenly fell from the sky.
Whoa! Whoa!
The rain was sparse and loose, but it quickly turned into a torrential downpour.
Chen An slipped out of the Red Devil Pavilion and was walking on the way to the Hakuri Shrine, but was trapped on the road by the sudden heavy rain
At this time, he was holding a white oil-paper umbrella, hiding under a big tree on the side of the road, looking at the rain curtain like a waterfall outside and sighing.
The rain was so heavy that he couldn't even cover the umbrella, so he had no choice but to hide under the tree to avoid the rain.
Fortunately, there was no thunder, otherwise I would have taken a free bath.
Just as Chen An sighed at the heavy rain and wondered when it would stop, the back of the tree behind him suddenly heard the painful wail of a cat.
"Meow~"
Curiously, he followed the sound around the tree, and then he saw a black cat with two tails.
The cat curled up in the rain and couldn't move, its two tails fell weakly to the ground, as if injured, and the rain next to it spread a bit of dazzling bright red. The red color spreads and is diluted by the rain, but it quickly recovers.
The rain fell from the sky and hit the black cat hard, causing it to let out a painful wail.
Seeing this, Chen An didn't care about getting his clothes wet by the rain, so he hurriedly ran out and hugged the black cat back.
Not caring about the clothes that were wet by the rain and the water stains of the black cat's hair, Chen An saw that as soon as the black cat was picked up by him, he shook the water vigorously regardless of the injury, and hurriedly dried the wet body of the black cat with clothes.
The black cat's body returned to dryness, and she immediately licked Chen An's hand happily with her tongue, and the two tails also swept around her face, which was very close.
"Cute little one."
Chen An smiled, stroked the black cat's dry and supple hair, and began to examine the paws that were tightly carried by it and shrunk under its body.
I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it!
Chen An looked at the injury of the black cat's paw, and really felt that he was also hurting at a glance.
Because it's so serious!
I don't know what happened, the shrunken front leg was folded at an exaggerated angle, and even the miserable white bones were exposed, such a serious injury, I don't know how it was injured.
Chen An gently touched its injured leg and said softly.
"Such a serious injury, what a poor little kitten. Does it hurt? ”
The black cat was a little vigilant at first, grinning its teeth, but when it heard Chen An's words, it immediately softened and began to meow and scream in pain.
"Good, little one."
Chen An didn't check, but gently touched the soft fur of the black cat.
Suddenly, while the black cat was squinting and enjoying it, he straightened the cat's legs.
"Meow!"
Chen An's sudden movement suddenly made the black cat scream in pain. It bowed, the hair on its whole body stood upside down, and its tail swept heavily on Chen An's face.
It looked at Chen An with fierce eyes, and then bit him the arm.
Because of the hard bite, blood suddenly spilled from the corner of its mouth.
was injured, but Chen An's face did not change. He hugged the black cat hard to prevent it from breaking free.
"Good boy, it'll be fine soon."
Chen An said this, and the soft white light poured into the black cat's body along his hand that was holding the black cat's wound.
"Meow?"
With the white light, the black cat feels warm and warm. Somewhat confused, it found that its wound didn't seem to hurt anymore.
The black cat flicked its tail, then let go of its mouth, carefully pulled its foot out of Chen An's loose hand, and found that the terrible wound had disappeared wonderfully, and it tentatively moved twice, and there was no pain at all.
Discovering this, it immediately understood that Chen An was to blame.
"Meow."
It blamed itself for licking Chen An's wound that was bitten out by it, and its tail gently swept the red marks on Chen An's face that were beaten by it, as if caressing.
Chen An didn't care about the wound on his arm that was bitten by the black cat, he just took out two band-aids and pasted them, he touched his face that was a little painful, and smiled at the black cat as if nothing happened.
"Little one, are you okay now?"
"Meow."
The black cat nodded, rubbed Chen An's hand with his head, climbed on his shoulder and sat down, watching the rain with him.
In this way, the black cat was still restless, with its two tails wagging around in the back, and it rubbed Chen An's face with its body from time to time, looking very affectionate.
Chen An held an oil-paper umbrella and quietly listened to the music of nature.
The heavy rain poured down, connecting the heavens and the earth, and it was truly spectacular.
After watching the rain for a while, he found that the rain seemed to be going to fall for a while, so Chen An turned his head to look at the black cat on his shoulder, and began to have nothing to say.
"Little one, are you separated from your master?"
Don't ask Chen An why he knows that this cat has an owner, wild cats are not so docile relatives.
It shook its head.
"Meow."
"yes, just out to play?"
It nodded.
"Meow."
Every question was answered, and Chen An couldn't help but be a little surprised and smiled.
"It's really worthy of two tails, what a smart little kitten."
"Meow!"
The black cat's tail flicked more cheerfully, and apparently, it was happy.
The summer rain came and went quickly, although Chen An guessed that the rain should be a while, but when he was teasing the kitten, the heavy rain had quietly stopped at some point.
The sky was washed away by the heavy rain and became clearer. Not only that, but the heavy rain parting world did not forget to leave a decorative gift for him.
It was a long, colorful rainbow.
It hangs in the sky, and it's so beautiful.
Chen An looked up at the rainbow and couldn't help but admire.
"What a beautiful rainbow."
"Meow."
The black cat shook its head cutely, as if it was agreeing with Chen An.
Chen Anguaner, he put away the umbrella, touched the black cat's head, and said goodbye to it.
"Well, the rain has stopped. Kitten, it's time for me to go, it's time for you to go back, don't worry your owner. ”
"Meow~"
The black cat licked Chen An's face with a tongue with a little fleshy prickly, and meowed twice, before reluctantly jumping off his shoulder.
rubbed on Chen An's lap affectionately for a while, made a final goodbye, and then left step by step.
Looking at the black cat that carefully avoided the puddle and disappeared from sight in one jump, Chen An suddenly shouted.
"Kitten, remember to be careful, don't get hurt again, understand!"
"Meow!"
Hearing Chen An's instructions, a small meow sounded from afar, as if to say that I know.
Chen An pursed his lips and chuckled.
Sure enough, it's very smart.
The heavy rain has stopped, and Chen An is naturally not staying.
He held an oil-paper umbrella and hummed a tune as he continued on his way to Hakurei Shrine.
……
Coming to the foot of the mountain where the Hakurei Shrine is located, after walking through the long staircase planted with cherry blossom trees on both sides, and passing through the red old torii gate, Chen An finally entered the shrine.
As soon as he entered, he saw Reimu with a broom sweeping up the stagnant water that had accumulated in the yard due to the heavy rain.
Chen An habitually said hello to Lingmeng.
"Yo, Reimu, work."
"Nonsense, are you blind?"
Reimu glared at him angrily, but the movements in his hands did not stop.
"You can sit at the shrine for a while, and then I'll entertain you when I'm done."
"Forget it."
Chen An looked at the huge courtyard and shook his head slightly.
"With such a big yard, when you have to work alone, I'll come with you."
Without waiting for Reimu to object, he ran into the shrine and put down the umbrella in his hand, and also picked up a broom and began to sweep the floor.
"Hey, nosy guy."
Looking at Chen An, who was cleaning up the stagnant water beside him, Lingmeng muttered, and continued to sweep the floor silently.
With Chen An joining, the work that usually needs to be cleaned up for half a day will soon be over.
Lowering his head to clean up the last puddle, Reimeng's head accidentally collided with Chen An.
She groaned and almost didn't sit on the ground, but fortunately Chen An reached out and grabbed her.
Reimu rubbed her forehead and couldn't help but complain.
"Hey, don't you sweep the floor with long eyes? Why did you hit me? ”
Chen An is very innocent.
"You hit me. I didn't complain about what you complained. ”
Reimu thought about it and found that it was true, so he stopped talking.
Pushing Chen An away, Reimu continued to sweep the floor. After brushing twice and sweeping the last floor, she stretched and sighed.
"Hey~ It's finally finished."
Chen An glanced at Reimeng's chest and chest wrap, which were particularly conspicuous because of his bowed waist, and muttered quietly.
"Poor poor milk."
Reimu stiffened as she stretched her waist, and suddenly she stopped laughing.
"Chen An, do you say anything rude?"
Chen An denied it without hesitation.
"Delusion!"
Lingmeng glanced at Chen An, for the sake of helping him sweep the floor before, he didn't bother to bother with him.
Kicking Chen An in the leg, she put down her broom and ran into the shrine.
Moving his beloved old tea set to the hallway, Reimu and Chen An, who also put down their brooms, sat in the hallway of the shrine and drank tea and chatted.
Reimu took a sip of tea.
"Now, why did you come to me today? Did you mess with anyone? ”
Almost every time I come, there is a reason, either to provoke Pache or Remy, who is simply a troublemaker!
"How is that possible!"
Chen An shouted aggrieved.
"How can a good man like me, who is loved by everyone, cause trouble!"
He slapped his thigh and swore by it.
"That's right, messing with Little Girl and Remy will never happen to me."
Lingmeng pursed her lips, understanding who Chen An had provoked today.
Nolu Ji and Remy.
Although he wanted to laugh at Chen An, with his cheek, Lingmeng thought about it.
Lingmeng didn't speak, but Chen An was drinking the tea made by Lingmeng, looking at the empty courtyard in front of him, and suddenly sighed.
"By the way, it's not easy for Reimu to take care of the shrine alone, it's tiring to clean such a big yard every day, right?"
And according to Marisa, it seems that Reimu started taking care of the shrine by himself when he was very young.
Reimu was stunned for a moment, and said indifferently.
"What's this, just get used to it."
Having said that, it seemed that the cup in his hand had been put down, a little melancholy.
I can get used to working every day, but I can't get used to the feeling of looking at a shrine that is empty every night except for me.
Thinking about it, Reimu couldn't help but raise his hand and touch the ribbon on his head, and sighed faintly.
Grandma, Mia, where have you been......
"Really?"
Chen An responded, and began to mock casually.
"It's like the shrine doesn't have sesame oil money in the money box, so it's good to get used to it?"
"Long-winded!"
Reimu's expression froze, and the melancholy in her heart disappeared, and she was very angry.
"Who said that there is no sesame oil money in my money box, but there is still a copper coin in it!"
"A copper coin?"
Chen An looked at her with the eyes of a pitiful insect.
"You're so pathetic."
Although he hadn't been to the city a few times, he knew the purchasing power of Gensokyo's currency.
One copper plate can only buy one baked cake!
Reimu grew angrier.
"Shut up!"
Chen An didn't seem to see Reimeng's anger, but just gave her another blow of understanding.
"By the way, this copper coin can't be stuffed into a money box where you look at nothing, and then want to feel better in your heart, right?"
Reimu - Stiff!
Seeing Lingmeng frozen there, Chen An was stunned, it couldn't be that he guessed right.
He laughed dumbly.
Tsk, I really didn't expect that Reimu would actually do this.
Looking at Chen An's surprised look, Lingmeng glared at him fiercely, and said with a dead face.
"How is it possible, I'm not the kind of person who secretly stuffs private money into it to ask for comfort because there is no sesame oil money in the money box!"
"Understood, understood."
Chen An patted Lingmeng's shoulder comfortingly, and looked at her even more pitiful.
Even the private money is only a copper coin, is there a worse witch in the world?
Reimu was annoyed and angry.
"Look at it, be careful that I beat you!"
Seeing Lingmeng's annoyed and angry appearance, Chen An wisely withdrew his gaze and began to change the topic.
"By the way, Reimu, why were you in Youkai Mountain that day?"
"Huh?"
Reimu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became proud.
"I'm a Hakurei witch, of course I'm here to solve the mutation."
Chen An Daqi.
"Wouldn't it? Shouldn't you go to the Red Devil Pavilion? And Purple seems to have said that you were deceived by her. ”
"Bastard!"
Reimu is on fire again.
"Now that you know, you still ask me what I'm doing, do you owe a beating!"
Chen An: "......"
He's a little speechless, this braggart guy.
Seeing that Lingmeng was about to get angry again, Chen An, who was afraid of suffering, hurriedly said again.
"By the way, Reimu, if I died at that time, would you be sad?"
"Sad?"
Reimu denied it without hesitation.
"The devil will be sad for you!"
Besides, even if it should be sad, it won't be her turn, there are more people in the Red Devil Pavilion!
"Hey, ruthless fellow."
Chen An muttered dissatisfiedly, and found that he didn't seem to have anything to say, so he didn't speak, and looked at the sky in a daze.
Reimu's life since she was a child also made her dislike to talk too much, so as Chen An closed her mouth, the shrine quieted down for a while.
As autumn approaches, the noisy chirping of cicadas begins to fade away, and the wind whistles from the sky with the purity and coolness peculiar to the rain.
Reimu squinted, listening to the sound of the cicadas and the sound of the nearby trees being blown by the wind, and felt that this moment was really extraordinarily leisurely and peaceful.
After a while, Reimu suddenly spoke, breaking the cozy atmosphere.
"Na, Chen An. Will you be sad if I die? ”
She took a sip of tea and looked back at the back mountain, her eyes unconsciously revealing a faint sadness.
That tomb may soon be mine.
Chen An, who was squinting and looking at the sky in a daze, was stunned when he heard this question, so he said without hesitation.
"I'm not going to do anything superfluous!"
Reimu was dissatisfied.
"Hey, it's superfluous for you to be sad when I'm dead!"
It is natural for her not to feel sorry for Chen An, but Chen An is not sorry for her.
"Of course."
Chen An drank tea, still looking careless.
"Because I'm going to die before you, so don't say such stupid things."
Reimu was still a little dissatisfied.
"Hey, do you understand the impermanence of the world?"
"Is the world impermanent? That's right. ”
Chen An thought about it too, so he changed his words.
"Okay, then if you accidentally die in front of me, then I will borrow a sentence that Wenwen once said to me."
Reimu was stunned.
"What?"
"It's easy."
Chen An turned his head and smiled at Reimeng.
"If you die, I will go to hell with you, and then bring you back from hell.
Well, that's no problem, right? ”
Although Wenwen didn't say that at the time, it was almost fine.
"Will you go to hell with me?"
Lingmeng was stunned, looking at Chen An's gentle smiling face, she moved her lips to say something, but finally skimmed her face.
Reimu scolded softly.
"Who wants to go to hell with you, idiot."
Chen An shrugged with a smile and did not respond.
