The weather is nice today with clear skies. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAlthough it is now in the afternoon, it has not reached the evening, and although the light in the dense bamboo forest is slightly dim, it can still make people see things clearly.

Everyone didn't walk far from the Eternal Pavilion, but on the way, Remy had already climbed on Chen An's back because he was too lazy to walk, and was commanding Chen An to move forward.

Because the skirt is too long, Kaguya is floating forward.

Ah Qiu followed Chen An's side, and as for Ling Xian and Mei Hong, they were moving forward while observing in the bamboo forest, looking for possible bamboo shoots.

After walking for a while, Remy couldn't bear to pat Chen An on the shoulder.

"Hey, where are the bamboo shoots you said, why have they been out for so long, and Lord Remy still hasn't seen anything except bamboo."

"What do you mean by that long, we haven't been out for 10 minutes yet."

"No matter what, there are bamboos everywhere, Lord Remy is annoyed, and he wants to dig bamboo shoots, dig bamboo shoots!"

Remy, who had a temper, had no choice but to make everyone stop advancing.

"Okay, anyway, the bamboo shoots are everywhere, so don't go, let's look carefully around here."

Everyone nodded.

"Understood."

After looking around, everyone has a harvest.

"Found it."

"Haha. Uncle Ben too. ”

"Go over and have a look, hurry up and take a look."

Remy is a curious person, and when she heard that everyone had found it, she immediately felt itchy and couldn't bear it, and hurriedly instructed Chen An to take her to see what the bamboo shoots looked like.

"Hi, hi."

Although he really wanted to hang Remy, who had caused him all the trouble, and let her stay where he could, so that she could get away and dig bamboo shoots, who made her Remy?

Helpless, Chen An came to Ah Qiu with her on his back.

Although it was the first time I came to the Lost Bamboo Forest, I had never dug bamboo shoots before, but it was different from Remy. Ah Qiu knew the bamboo shoots.

Not only do I know, but I also seem to be very familiar with the skills of digging bamboo shoots, because when Chen An came over with Remy on her back, she had already dug out a bamboo shoot with a hoe.

"Hey, is this a bamboo shoot?"

Remy was surprised to see the bamboo shoots that had fallen to the ground with a lot of dirt on them.

Because she's seen quite a few of them nearby.

After walking for so long (at most ten minutes, at least four-fifths of which Chen An carried her away), I thought that bamboo shoots were difficult to find, but it turned out to be so common.

I don't know what I thought, as soon as Leimi's eyes rolled, she climbed down from Chen An's back and walked to the side with her skirt.

Although he was curious about what Remi was doing, seeing that she hadn't gone far, Chen An didn't care.

He sighed slightly.

"Ah Qiu, didn't you say you've never been here? I didn't expect you to actually dig bamboo shoots, it seems that you still have a set. ”

It is not difficult to dig bamboo shoots, but it is difficult to dig up bamboo shoots completely in three or two times like Ah Qiu, and it is difficult to do it with raw hands.

For some reason, Ah Qiu was suddenly stunned, but it was back to normal in the blink of an eye, which quickly made Chen An think that it was not a delusion.

She wiped the little sweat that appeared on her forehead because of her exertion, revealing a hearty smile.

"After all, there are a lot of things in the book, and I still know about bamboo shoots and how to dig bamboo shoots."

"Knowing and doing are not the same thing. You can easily turn knowledge into action, Aqiu you are really amazing. ”

"Bastard! Bastard! ”

Chen An sighed twice, and Remy, who had walked away before, waved at him not far away and shouted.

Chen An shook his head and left from Ah Qiu.

"Turning knowledge into action? Oh, fool, this isn't the first time I've dug up bamboo shoots. ”

Looking at Chen An's back, the corners of Ah Qiu's mouth pulled secretly, so he squatted down and continued his interrupted work of digging bamboo shoots.

Chen An came to Remy's side.

"Remy, what are you calling me for?"

As if irritated by Chen An's carelessness, Remy's voice suddenly rose.

"What kind of attitude do you have! Isn't it okay, Mistress Remy can't call you! ”

"Don't dare, don't dare."

This kind of thing, Chen Anke is too lazy to be serious with Remy, because it is simply too stupid!

He quickly pretended to be quiet.

"So, Lord Remy, is there anything wrong with you calling the little one to come over?"

Remy is a very satisfying and extremely easy to change attitude - that is, a super coaxing and super playful master.

No, as soon as she saw Chen An's attitude becoming respectful, she immediately became complacent.

"Hmph, count you as acquaintances."

Humming, Remy pointed to the bamboo shoot next to her that was taller than her, and a smug look appeared on her face.

"Of course you're not going to be okay when Lord Remy shouts, look at this, I've found a big guy.

Hee-hee, this is a super big bamboo shoot that Ah Qiu dug up before.

How's that, I'm amazing, right? ”

Seeing that Remy looked like he was coming to praise me, coming to praise me, Chen An couldn't help but sigh.

He didn't want to make Remy uncomfortable, but who made Remy stupid and self-righteous.

Chen An brutally shattered Remy's illusions.

"Remy, do you think it's awesome to find a bamboo shoot taller than your three-inch nail?

Don't be stupid, if this is awesome, we don't have to come out.

This bamboo shoot has long begun to turn into bamboo and cannot be eaten. ”

He pointed to the others.

Lingxian, Sister Hong, and Sister Red are watching the lively Kaguya next to her.

"Hehe, this kind of half-bamboo shoots are everywhere in the bamboo forest, look at everyone, who will treat bamboo as bamboo shoots like a fool, and be embarrassed?"

Remy's face turned red and glared at Chen An viciously.

"Who do you say is the three-inch nail!? Who do you say is a fool!? ”

"I said the emperor."

I glanced at a fat rabbit that appeared nearby at some point, was hiding behind a bamboo to observe the environment, and then jumped over. Chen An is serious nonsense.

"Don't you think she's too short and stupid?"

Remy looked at Chen An obliquely, and she really felt that she couldn't get angry suddenly.

Before, she was almost naming her by name, but now she can say that she is the emperor, and she doesn't blush.

How did you get this kind of cheekiness?

A certain fat rabbit seemed to hear Chen An's words, his ears brushed upright, and his red eyes seemed to be on fire.

However, in order to prevent detection, a certain fat rabbit had to endure the anger that could burn everything in his heart, and continued to sneakily jump.

Lingxian also seemed to hear it, and she walked to Chen An's side with a hoe and a bamboo basket that had already contained a few bamboo shoots.

Reizen's left ear spun around.

"It's true that the emperor is not tall, but she is very fine, how can she be stupid?"

Although affected, he often angrily shouted that the emperor was stupid, but Reizen never felt that the emperor was stupid.

If the emperor is stupid, isn't Lingxian, who has suffered from pranks that the emperor doesn't know how much, even more stupid!

The fat rabbit nodded his head proudly.

It's a tie, it's a tie. Who doesn't know that she is the best in the world because of Emperor Hat's cleverness, and she dares to say that she is stupid, she is really a fool with no eyesight.

Chen An replied to the question.

"By the way, what are you going to eat tonight?"

Lingxian blinked, although she was curious about how stupid the emperor was, but since Chen An didn't say it, she didn't ask if she was well-behaved.

Reizen grinned and lifted the bamboo basket behind him.

"Rice, the main dish is spring bamboo shoots."

"It's a little shabby."

Reizen lowered her ears, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"No, that's what I usually do."

"What's the best way to just be vegetarian, you should add some meat."

Chen An smiled at Ling Xian, then bent down violently, and picked up the fat rabbit that had sneakily jumped at his feet with two long ears.

Shaking the fat rabbit that was struggling with his legs, Chen An was very satisfied.

"It just so happened that I caught a stupid rabbit with no brains, and stewed her at night."

The fat rabbit couldn't get rid of it, and suddenly scolded.

"Eat you! I actually dared to hit the old lady's idea, and I didn't let go of the old lady quickly. If you dare to rub your hands and feet again, kill you believe it or not!? ”

Reisen was startled.

"Emperor!?"

"Why do you think I'm stupid?"

Chen An was caught with a smile and trembling, but he still spoke wildly, arrogant fat rabbit.

"As the saying goes, eat a sting, grow a wisdom, but this stupid rabbit just doesn't know how to remember.

Tsk, I don't know how many times I've been caught, but I still don't repent and become a rabbit trying to yin me.

You say, is she shrewd or stupid? ”

Savvy, of course.

Ling Xian wanted to say this, but looking at the emperor who was still struggling in Chen An's hands, he found that he couldn't say anything.

This kind of stupidity, I really can't see where I am shrewd.

By the way, for some reason, the discomfort that appeared in my heart before seems to be gone.

Someone else is unlucky, and then he steps on it himself to make others even more unlucky, this kind of thing Remy really likes.

She answered without hesitation.

"Stupid bunny!"

The emperor's wow-wah yelled:

"Stupid sister! You, a stupid bat who can only sell cuteness and is worse than the old lady, dare to say bad things about the old lady, believe it or not, the old lady will kill you in minutes!? ”

"Only, only to sell cute!? Height difference!? ”

Remy's forehead was bruised, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

Remy-sama thinks she is majestic and perfect, and what she hates most is that others say she is short and cute.

And now, the emperor has successfully hit two key points with one sentence!

The emperor didn't understand that she had poked at Remy's most sensitive place, so he turned his head and scolded Chen An again:

"And you! What the hell do you guy's eyes look like, and why can the old lady find out every time you get close to you?

It's not scientific! It's not scientific!! ”

It's okay once or twice, but Chen An found it again and again, even when he had amnesia!

"Science? Talking about science on me is really a stupid bunny. ”

Chen An despised it, so he simply threw the emperor aside.

There's no way, Remy's eyes are too murderous, if he takes the emperor in his hand again, it is estimated that he will be unlucky with him later.

One was defenseless, and the emperor was thrown out by Chen An. Turning back into a human in the air, she rubbed her ass and screamed in pain as soon as she sat on the ground.

"Oops, my ass."

After screaming for a while, the emperor jumped up from the ground, intending to fight Chen An who dared to throw her.

However, it didn't work out, as she was stopped by Remy.

Looking at Remy, who had a gloomy face in front of him, murderous in his eyes, and Gungnir in his hand, the emperor unconsciously took two steps back.

The ears and tail moved, and the emperor was very vigilant.

"Remy, what do you want to do?"

"What? Kill you, of course! ”

Remy's left mouth tugged at the corner of her mouth, revealing a creepy smile, and she waved Gungnir and pounced on the emperor.

"Dare to say that Lord Remy will only sell cuteness and poor height, suffer death, you hopelessly stupid stupid rabbit!!"

The momentum on the oncoming Remi made the emperor gasp, and she turned around decisively and ran.

While running, she didn't forget to scold at the same time.

"Die to your sister! Dare to do it to the old lady, you stupid bat who can only sell cuteness and poor height!! ”

"You still dare to be arrogant, let's die-the bloodthirsty Rubik's Cube!!"

Seeing that the emperor was chased by Remy everywhere, but he continued to scold without repentance, Chen An sighed unusually.

"Tsk, you don't have a brain when you die, you really deserve to be a stupid rabbit~"

Ling Xian shook her ears, and finally had to agree that what Chen An said was the truth.

"That's right, it's a stupid rabbit."

Kaguya, Mei Hong, and Ah Qiu also came over at some point.

"That stupid rabbit!"

First despised the emperor who was asking for hardship, and Mei Hong patted the bamboo basket on her shoulder.

"Brother, I'm almost done."

Ah Qiu laboriously put down the bamboo basket that was not half filled, and blushed a little.

"I'm sorry, I don't have the strength."

Kaguya glanced at the bamboo basket on Reisen's back and nodded in satisfaction.

"Brother, Lingxian has almost dug it for me.

Reizen, well done. ”

In the end, I didn't forget to praise it.

Reisen touched her ears embarrassedly, and her smile was very bright.

Although because of Remy, Chen An didn't dig up a bamboo shoot, but it doesn't matter.

Anyway, it's just leisure, plus Forever Pavilion is not as edible as Rumia, or a super edible master like Yuyuko, it's enough to dig it alone with Meihong or Lingxian, not to mention two copies!

As for Ah Qiu, well~ it's good to see her share as an additive.

"Remy, get that rabbit out of the Forever Pavilion, and we'll go back first."

Thinking that it was enough, Chen An was too lazy to waste time, and said hello to Remy, who was still chasing the emperor on that mission, Chen An lifted the bamboo basket in front of Ah Qiu, smiled at her, and turned back to the Eternal Pavilion.

"Emperor, come back early."

Because he was not at ease, Ling Xian gave the emperor a word, and then quickly caught up with Chen An and Kaguya.

Seeing that he was left behind, the emperor was really angry.

"You bastards, wait for the old lady!"

"Sharpshooter - Gungnir!!"

"Wow!! Don't poke me in the ass!! ”

……

Back at the Eternal Pavilion, Reisen asks his rabbits to dispose of the bamboo shoots they have dug up, leaving him to serve Kaguya and entertain everyone.

"Please use tea."

"Thank you."

Ah Qiu thanked Lingxian, who served her tea, and took a sip of tea.

The smell of tea made Ah Qiu frown, and then took another sip.

The attentive Reisen noticed Ah Qiu's actions, and his ears folded uneasily.

"What, don't you like it?"

"No, it's not."

Ah Qiu took another sip of tea before putting down the teacup.

"It's just that I've never drunk this kind of flower tea, so I'm a little surprised for a while. By the way, this is flower tea, right? ”

That kind of evocative fragrance, if it is not flower tea, Ah Qiu really doesn't believe it.

Reisen breathed a sigh of relief and was about to explain, but Kaguya had already spoken first.

Pulling her long hair to her chest, Kaguya seemed to want to untie the ribbon tied into a delicate bow, but somehow gave up.

She said:

"Yes, this is a flower tea made by Youtanhua, and you can't drink it outside except for the Forever Pavilion."

Euepiphany used to exist on the ground, but that was a long, long time ago, long before the Moon Man moved to the Moon.

Millions of years have passed, and now, the wild on the earth has long since become extinct. Now it's a flower peculiar to the moon.

Although there have been many moon-people who have come to the earth, it cannot be said that there are no more euphylls on the earth, but that is certainly very rare.

Xiang Yongting uses Youtan to make flower tea like this, and Kaguya is estimated to be the only one.

"Oh~ is it? It's really teachable. ”

Ah Qiu nodded reservedly and turned his gaze to Chen An, who had been silent for some reason before.

"Chen An, why have you been silent, are you worried about Remy, who hasn't come back yet?"

"It's not. Remy, who is full of majesty and has only the merit of cuteness, is a little stupid, but she doesn't need others to worry about it. ”

Speechless at Chen An's description of Remy, Ah Qiu asked:

"Oh? Then why don't you keep talking? ”

"It's simple."

Chen An shrugged his shoulders and said the reason why he was silent.

"I'm just thinking that I've been to Yonglin a lot of times lately, but I don't seem to have seen Yonglin once. I don't know what she did. ”

Sister Hong pouted.

"What else can that pharmacological maniac do, besides studying those strange drugs that I don't know what to do, is there anything else she can do in the Forever Pavilion?"

Reisen was angry.

"Don't talk about master craftsman like that, it's too rude!"

Sister Hong sighed and ignored Lingxian. So Reisen became even angrier.

It's just that I can't help it, so I have to sulk on the side.

Chen An was a little curious.

"Sister Hong, listening to you say this, it seems that you know what Yonglin has been tossing recently, can you tell me about it?"

Sister Hong spread her hands.

"Don't ask me, ask Reizen. She is Yonglin's apprentice. She was also the one who tested Yonglin's medicine, and asked her if it was okay to keep it. ”

Regarding the situation of Yonglin's drug experiments, in the Eternal Pavilion, except for Yonglin himself, the emperor who likes to steal medicine, it will never be wrong to ask Lingxian, who is a disciple of Yonglin.

Chen An was stunned, and his attention shifted suddenly.

"Test? What do you mean? Is it for Reisen to be used as a prop for testing the medicine? ”

Mei Hong looked at Chen An in surprise.

"Hey, brother, you don't know? As Yonglin's disciple, Lingxian's most important job is to test medicine for Yonglin. ”

Kaguya added:

"Mei Hong is right, because many of the medicines made by Yonglin cannot be determined, so Lingxian needs to test the medicine to determine the medicinal properties and conclude what type of medicine it is."

"This ......"

Chen An glanced at Ling Xian, who was also nodding there, and looked like a matter of course, his brows furrowed.

"Let Lingxian eat those medicines with unknown pharmacology, aren't you afraid that something will happen to her?"

Kaguya smiled and shook her head.

"No, although there will be some hardships, the medicines that Yonglin asked Lingxian to take are relatively safe.

Those who take medicine that can cause an accident will not let her take it. ”

She learned from Mei Hong.

"No way, who made Lingxian a disciple of Yonglin."

Although he often tests the medicine with Lingxian, and he will teach him a severe lesson if he makes a mistake, Yonglin is still very protective of Lingxian.

As if sensing someone talking about her, the door to the room suddenly opened. And as the door opened, Yonglin, who had not been seen before, appeared.

With the usual two-color skirt on her body, a blue hat with a cross on her head, and a plate in her left hand, Yonglin walked in.

Bending down to put the pastry in her hand on the table, she smiled and said:

"The princess is right, who let Yutanhua Yuan be a disciple below.

If you want to let the troublesome drugs in the experiment go wrong, isn't it still me who is the master who is the troublesome in the end? ”

Sister Hong snorted unhappily.

"Is it just a hassle to deal with? What a heartless thought. ”

Chen An didn't feel dissatisfied.

After all, if he just felt that it was troublesome to deal with, Reizen would have died a long time ago.

It's even more unlikely that Lingxian will be accepted as a disciple.

So Yonglin's words should be a joke.

But jokes are jokes, Chen An still has some ideas about the fact that Lingxian's main job is to test medicines.

It's not that he wants to be nosy, it's just that Reisen is his friend, and when he thinks of his friend, especially this friend is still a good-tempered, gentle and sensible girl, she is a drug tester, and she will feel uncomfortable in her heart.

It's just that Yonglin and Lingxian are two masters and apprentices, one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer, Chen An, an outsider, really has nothing to blame.

After all, Yonglin asked Lingxian to test the medicine, and Lingxian himself must be willing.

Don't ask too much, just look at the reaction to the test drug Reizen mentioned earlier.

But just doing nothing, Chen An felt very unhappy.

If there's something that makes you happy, do it.

This sentence has always been Chen An's code of conduct, so this time he decided to meddle in his affairs one more time.

Of course, it always feels very unskilled to meddle like this, Chen An decided to save the country first and see if he could save it quietly.

He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and began to rescue with an extremely serious attitude.

"Yong Linli, my family has recently lacked a warm bed, I think Lingxian is good, can you consider it and give her to me?"

"Huh? Ay!? ”

Reizen sighed twice, and his face turned red, and the seductive red glow even spread from his cheeks to his neck.

She stared at Chen An with wide eyes, and danced her teeth and claws like a white rabbit without deterrence, but because she was shy, her voice was a little stammering.

"No, stop talking nonsense! I'm just, I'm not going to warm your bed! ”

Kaguya and Mei Hong raised their hands at the same time.

"Brother (elder brother), how about I warm your bed?"

"Two dead girls, how old are they and still making such jokes, while going cool!"

After angrily reprimanding the two of them, Chen An looked at Yonglin with hope.

He's really serious.

"What's the matter, can you agree?"

Yonglin slanted at Chen An and sneered.

"Can't!"

Chen An did not give up.

"Oh my, I can exchange it for good things."

He proudly took out a few photos from his arms and shook them twice.

"Dangdang Dang, a stack of handsome and chic photos of me, how is it, are you satisfied?"

Everyone, including Yonglin and Ling Xian, looked at the stack of photos in Chen An's hand with subtle eyes.

Mei Hong couldn't help but complain.

"Brother, please look at the photos first when you are narcissistic, okay? The person above is Remy, not you! ”

"Huh?"

Chen An was stunned for a moment, looked at the photo, and realized that it was indeed not the handsome and dashing him, but Remy who was holding his head and squatting.

Mom, how did you get the photo you took yesterday, and where is Remy? Where's Remy?

After scanning around vigilantly twice, but didn't find Remy, Chen An breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put away the photo.

If Remy finds out, he'll be killed!

He explained with a dry laugh.

"I took it wrong, I took it wrong, and I took it as a photo I took secretly when I bullied Remy yesterday."

took out a stack of photos again, and Chen An continued to show off.

"Dangdang Dang, a stack of handsome and chic photos of me, how about it, are you satisfied this time?"

Everyone's expressions became more and more subtle.

This time it's not Mei Hong who complains, but Kaguya.

"Brother, you're taking the wrong one again!"

"Ah, no, wouldn't you?"

Chen An looked at the photo again in surprise, one limb fell naturally, and he was floating in the air with a chicken leg in his head up, and the stupid-looking Youyouzi appeared in the photo.

Chen An: "......"

With a sigh, he hurriedly put the photo away again at the speed of light, and he continued to laugh dryly.

"I'm sorry, I took the wrong one again, and I took it as a photo of the fishing Yuyuko who took food last time."

"Brother, take the food to fish for Youyouzi, how boring you are!"

Sister Hong complained, Kaguya added.

"The most important thing is that you have succeeded, brother. Yuyuko shouldn't be that stupid, right? ”

Yuyuko is certainly not that stupid, but who makes her want to play stupid.

muttering in his heart, Chen An waved his hand.

"Don't care about the details, don't care about the details."

After a few words of casual fussing, Chen An fumbled in his arms again, and found a stack of photos again, he didn't take it out directly this time to show it, but looked at it first. But as soon as he saw it, his face changed, and he instantly stuffed the photo back.

Ah Qiu's eyes were sharp, and he saw the photo that flashed away.

With her memorable skills, she is a little staggered.

"Even Nuoluji has it, Chen An, you shouldn't leave all the photos of the objects of bad taste, right?"

Chen An was greatly wronged.

"How is that possible! Taking embarrassing photos of others, there will be such a bad taste in an upright and serious person like me! ”

He shouted Qu, but his words suddenly changed, and he swore and promised:

"With the addition of God and the Son of Heaven just now, there will be no more."

Of course, there are many more, but will Chen An say it? Joke!

The credibility of Chen An's guarantee was too low, so no one believed it, even Ling Xian was skeptical.

Chen An glanced at everyone's distrustful expressions and was dissatisfied.

He banged the table.

"Hey, what kind of expression do you have, I said no, it's no, why do you look distrustful?"

For he who believes in your assurances is a fool.

Everyone muttered in their hearts, and Ah Qiu tried to change the subject.

"Anyway, I haven't heard of the Son of Heaven you talked about earlier."

"Oh, she's the sister of the earth."

Nonsense, Chen An continued to express his dissatisfaction.

"I tell you, I have always said that one is one, and two is two, and that there is nothing but pictures of Remy, Yuyuko, Chick, Emperor and Son of Heaven, that is nothing!

Reimu stuffed the cash box and cried with a sad face, Suika got drunk and went crazy, and then was banned by the big goblins and they had a sad look of eating and drinking!

Do you understand? No! ”

Oh, so there are Reimu and Incense!

Everyone suddenly realized in their hearts, and Mei Hong was full of interest.

"And there's, there's more."

"It's all said no."

glanced at Mei Hong dissatisfied, and Chen An took out a large stack of photos from his arms.

Yonglin didn't look at those photos, but stared at Chen An.

"Chen An, I don't think you can hide many things in your arms, where did you take out so many photos."

"Oh, I used the Sumeru spell to call the Qiankun in my sleeve."

"What's in your sleeve? Don't think I'm a liar, you obviously took it out of your arms. ”

"Oops, because it's a hassle to find it out of my sleeve every time, and it's all small things hidden in it, and there aren't many of them. So I changed it, and changed the place where I hid things from the sleeve to the bosom.

But now it doesn't seem to be of much use. ”

Chen An replied casually and complained, while counting the stack of photos in his hand.

"Fran, Lumia, and Cirno...... Devil, Marisa, forget it, put this one away...... Meihong, Huiyin, Lingxian...... Love...... Miko ......"

Except for one in the middle, Chen An counted the photos, read the names, and almost read the names of his acquaintances.

"Me?"

Mei Hong was stunned for a while, then suddenly sat up straight, and her violent movements almost knocked over the cup in front of her.

She waved her hand, very emotional.

"Brother, why do you even have a picture of me!?"

Kaguya squinted, the corners of his mouth twitching.

"Brother, I don't remember when I was embarrassed."

Ling Xian puffed out his face and glared at Chen An angrily.

"And me, why do I have too?"

Ah Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, because there was no hers.

Chen An glanced at them and spread out the stack of photos.

"Don't think about it, I'm not as gossip as Wenwen, other people's embarrassing photos are only taken occasionally, these are just ordinary photos."

Everyone didn't believe it, so they quickly took the photos and checked them together.

Because there was no Yonglin in her name before, she didn't check whether what Chen An said was true like the others.

Yonglin sat beside Chen An and looked at his chest with interest - don't get me wrong, she was just interested in the Sumeru spell that Chen An said.

It's not that Yonglin doesn't know how to use space spells, on the contrary, there are many such spells in the Eternal Pavilion and her laboratory.

But those can only be applied in the building, and there is no one used by Chen An at all, and this kind of Sumeru spell that can be carried around is convenient.

If you can learn the Sumeru spell, then it will be much easier to carry things in the future.

Chen An is not a stingy person, on the contrary, he is very generous, and this is true for strangers, even more so for his own people such as friends.

Yonglin understood this very well, and thought that she should be regarded as Chen An's friend, so she did not hesitate to express her interest.

"Yo, Chen An. I see that the Sumeru spell you use is quite convenient, can you teach me? ”

Chen An looked surprised.

"Do you want to learn Sumeru?"

"yes."

Pulling the ** flower braid that fell on the ground behind him to his chest, Yonglin nodded.

"After learning this, you can carry those important things with you in the future, which is not only convenient, but also reassuring."

For example, those important medicines, if you carry them with you, then you don't have to guard against the emperor from stealing them every time.

There are also tools such as medical kits, which are really convenient when you think about it.

"That's right...... It's not that I can't teach you, it's just ......"

As Yonglin expected, Chen An was very generous and had no intention of refusing at all.

It's just that he didn't agree. Instead, he scratched his head and looked very difficult.

didn't agree directly, which made Yonglin a little surprised.

Is it because she and Chen An don't have enough friendship? Or is Sumeru's spell too precious to teach her at will?

Yonglin thought about it, thinking that maybe it was both.

After all, she thinks that she has a good relationship with Chen An, but the number of times the two have dealt with each other is actually not much.

Chen An has come to the Eternal Pavilion a lot of times, but it is either Lingxian or Kaguya who entertains him, and she rarely appears.

Either busy experimenting, or too troublesome.

Unlike Kaguya, who once lived with Chen An and valued Chen An's Kaguya and soft-tempered Lingxian, the arrogant sage of the moon, Bayi Yonglin, doesn't need friends.

And Sumeru spells.

It's not that Yonglin hasn't seen the techniques of his own space, but almost all of them are personal talents.

To give two stark examples, this is the case with Murasaki and Sakiya.

Rather than individual talent, but with all sorts of limitations.

Either the space is too small, or it is inconvenient to carry, almost always like this.

A spell like Chen An who can use clothes as a container at will, and the meaning space in his obedience seems to be very large, Yonglin has really never heard of it.

Unwilling to let the rare opportunity slip away from his eyes, Yonglin decided to exchange things with Chen An.

Just when she began to think about what could impress Chen An and ask him to teach her Sumeruzi spells, Chen An's words made her stunned.

"It's okay to teach you, but are you sure you want to learn? It's hard to learn. ”

Chen An looked Yonglin up and down, then took out a booklet and put it on her desk, and pushed it in front of him with a casual face.

"Oh, Sumeru's learning method is in the book, you can learn it yourself, if you don't know anything, just ask me."

Yonglin raised her eyebrows, her tone and expression were very strange.

"That's it for me?"

"So what?"

Chen An looked at Yonglin strangely.

"It's just a spell, you just want to learn and teach you, why are you so surprised."

Regarding Chen An's attitude, Yonglin was stunned for a while before pulling the corners of his mouth and whispering:

"Really, it's a villain."

"What did you say?"

Yonglin was stupid to tell the truth, and she quietly changed the topic.

"It's nothing, it's just that I'm just curious about what you're hesitating about."

Chen An shrugged, not caring about Yonglin changing the topic, but picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.

"There's no way, it's just that it's hard to learn, I'm afraid you won't be able to learn."

Yonglin slanted at Chen An, with a little dissatisfaction in her tone.

"Just a spell, you actually said that I can't learn it, are you too underestimating people?"

"Just a spell?"

Chen An couldn't help but be happy, and he put down the cup.

"Yonglin, it's not that I look down on you, it's that you look down on the sleeves I gave you, right?

It's not that I'm bluffing you, I've seen more powerful people, maybe there are not many people who have learned this in their sleeves, are you sure, I'm really looking down on you? ”

Yonglin frowned, then picked up the booklet in front of him and looked at it.

"Oh? So powerful? Look at you and take it out, you thought it was some ordinary thing. ”

Chen An chuckled.

"What kind of ordinary thing, the sleeve I gave you is a very high-end goods, okay?

Not only can you pretend to be alive, as long as you have the ability, the space in your sleeve can even be expanded infinitely. ”

He suddenly grumbled.

"You don't know how hard it took me to get this spell in the first place.

Ran almost half the world, and finally used one Yuan Guo to get it from an old guy. ”

At the beginning, Chen An was not such an old fritter, and it was the first time he came to the world, so he didn't even know him at the beginning.

He has a cold personality.,And don't like to deal with people.,It's always been a loner.。

Even if the strength was already strong at that time, no one was an opponent, but in order to learn what was interesting, I still took a lot of detours.

Of course, this kind of detour has never been encountered since I met Chu and them.

Whoever made them the first world consciousness, no matter how precious and rare the skills were, as long as Chen An wanted to, they could easily take them out for Chen An to learn.

"Ren Yuanguo? What are you talking about, why don't you have any impression at all? ”

Yonglin continued to frown, feeling very weird.

She didn't know how long she had lived, and she had no impression of what Chen An said.

There is also a lot of money in the sleeves, if it is really as powerful as Chen An said, why is it not impressed.

Not at all!

"Oh, it's just a fruit, don't pay too much attention to it."

Chen An remembered the beginning, and put aside the topic as if nothing happened.

"Idle things to be tied, what did you think about what you said before, Lingxian gave it to me?"

"No way!"

Yonglin glared at Chen An.

"You still keep it for yourself!"

"Hey, I'm so generous, you stingy ghost."

Ignoring Chen An's complaints, Yonglin opened the booklet and planned to see how powerful Chen An's sleeves were when he said that he went to heaven.

It's just—

Looking at the pages, the corners of Yonglin's mouth couldn't help twitching.

Because, she didn't understand a word of what was written on it!

After turning two pages in a hurry, Yonglin still couldn't find any words she knew, and she was suddenly a little angry.

She slapped the booklet vigorously in front of Chen An.

"Chen An, are you kidding me? Why don't I understand a word of the above things!? ”

"Hey, there's something Yonglin you can't understand?"

"Don't rub it off, don't look at it, don't get in the way of Uncle Ben, Uncle Ben hasn't found his photo yet."

Kaguya, who was still looking at the photos there, looked up and wanted to say something, but because of Meihong's impatient complaints, he quickly lowered his head again.

Kaguya muttered to Meihong, Aqiu, and Reizen.

"Yo, this one is Cuixiang, it's really good."

"Who is this guy, why does he have horns like Cuixiang, is he also a ghost clan?"

"And this, wow, the figure is really imposing."

"Hey, this is me~ It's so beautiful."

Chen An rolled his eyes.

"Nonsense, this thing wasn't meant to be seen, if you can read it, you'll have a ghost."

He pushed the booklet back in front of Yonglin.

"Close your eyes and silently recite the four words in your sleeve, and you will naturally understand."

"Really?"

"Nonsense, lie to you?"

Yonglin glanced at Chen An suspiciously, feeling that this was not impossible,

But after thinking about it, I finally decided to give it a try.

So he closed his eyes, and Yonglin suddenly didn't move.

Glancing at Yonglin, who was holding the booklet motionless, Chen An thought about it, and suddenly laughed.

Sneakily looked at Lingxian and them, and found that they were all bowing their heads to discuss something, Chen An quickly took out a pen from his arms, and left a dashing line on Yonglin's forehead that the old lady is 800 million years old this year.

Hurriedly took out his mobile phone to take a commemorative photo, and Chen An squeezed to the side of Meihong and them.

"How's it going, have you finished reading it?"

"It's coming, it's coming."

Mei Hong responded casually, and suddenly shouted.

"Finally found it!"

She happily pulled out the photo of herself.

In the background is a bamboo forest and a small house, on which she smiles very heartily.

Mei Hong looked at this photo and couldn't help but smile.

She was amazed.

"The photo is really good, why didn't you find out that you took a photo for me, brother?"

"I just took a casual picture to commemorate it, so I didn't tell you."

Chen An also drew one casually, it was the Lingxian that everyone had seen before.

The fingers are pistol-shaped, one eye is closed, and the movement of turning around, the skirt of the body is flying, and it looks very pretty.

Looking at this photo, Reisen blushed a little.

"I didn't notice it, and I don't remember when I did it."

Chen An touched his chin and thought for a while before giving an answer.

"It was more than half a month ago, I remember that you seemed very happy at that time, posing there alone, I just came to the Forever Pavilion and took a picture of you."

Ah Qiu looked at the photos on the table with different protagonists, but without exception, they were all very good, and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's amazing that you can shoot so well."

"Well, it's not a big deal, Wenwen can do this."

As he spoke, Chen An picked out Wenwen's photo from the table—the setting sun in the background, black wings expanding, and pieces of falling feathers.

Wenwen held the camera, made gestures, and smiled energetically.

Fingers stroked the face of Wen Wen in the photo, and Chen An smiled:

"You didn't see the competition between Wenwen and Yu Li at that time, if you saw it, you wouldn't be surprised now."

"Oh?"

Ah Qiu's expression moved, and he also picked out Yu Li's photo from the stack of photos.

The background is also the sunset, but the girl in the photo is not as lively as the previous text.

Sitting on the roof, under the sunset, the girl's face is indescribably quiet.

"Is it a competition, taking pictures?"

Hui Ye and Mei Hong also looked at Chen An curiously.

"Really? Elder brother (elder brother). ”

"Pretty much."

Glancing at the table, Chen An replied casually:

"It's a competition, but it's actually a competition. The two flew at high speed in the air, each holding a camera and a mobile phone to take pictures of each other, the winner had no requirements, and the loser had to say that the other party was inferior to the other. ”

Ah Qiu was very interested.

"Who won? Is it Wenwen or Ji Haitang Yuli? ”

"Wenwen."

Recalling the battle he saw at the beginning, Chen An paused.

"The crushing advantage won, and Wenwen was not photographed by Yu Li in the competition. On the contrary, she also snatched Yu Li's mobile phone and used her mobile phone to take a lot of photos of Yu Li.

It was a high-speed flight, but Wenwen not only took pictures, but the quality of the shots was not good. The ability to grasp the timing is so strong, it really deserves to be known as the paparazzi. ”

"Paparazzi? Hee-hee, that's right. ”

Everyone was stunned and pursed their lips and laughed.

After frolicking twice, Kaguya continued to look down through the many photos.

But I've almost finished reading it before, and I've seen the last few photos, but I still haven't found my own photos.

Kaguya was a little upset.

"Brother, what about my photo, why don't you have my photo?

Only according to my sister's redness, not me. You're too biased, aren't you? ”

Chen An was stunned.

"No, I remember you."

During this time, Chen Anke often came to the Bamboo Forest and the Forever Pavilion, except for Yonglin. Emperor, Lingxian, Meihong, and Huiyin all have them, and of course Kabaya can't be without.

Kaguya pouted.

"But I didn't find it."

"Wait, I'll find it for you."

Scratching his head, Chen An searched for it in the pile of photos.

Kaguya was right, it really didn't look for her photos.

"It's not going to be put on that stack, is it?"

Finding this, Chen An frowned, and took out another stack of photos from his arms.

Reisen is staggered.

"And huh?"

Chen An was noncommittal, and looked for it in this stack of photos.

Unlike before, this stack of photos is very thin, and the number of photos is very small, just flip through it.

Flipping to the photo at the bottom, Chen An breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's just say, how could it not be that it was filmed, and it really got mixed here.

Well, that's the picture I took for you. ”

Kaguya took the photo suspiciously, looked at it, and smiled.

Mei Hong and Reizen looked curiously and found that it was indeed Kaguya's photo.

The background is the Forever Pavilion, the time seems to be night, and the light in the photo is a little hazy.

Kaguya sat in the hallway, her long skirt covering the floor, pursing her lips and chuckling, she was really beautiful.

"It's really a princess, it's so beautiful~"

Shaking her ears and sighing, Ling Xian suddenly became interested in the stack of photos in Chen An's hand that had not been put down.

"Chen An, whose stack of photos are you holding, can you let me see it?"

Chen An was a little hesitant.

"This ...... I think it's better to forget it, most of them are people you don't know. ”

was actually rejected, and Reizen became more and more interested at the same time.

"Don't be so stingy, take a look."

Mei Hong is also instigated.

"Yes, brother. Someone you know should be your friend, right? Your friends are also my friends. Let's take a look. ”

Hui Ye blinked and looked at Chen An expectantly.

"Brother~"

Ah Qiu didn't speak, just looked at Chen An without blinking.

was stared at by everyone, Chen An was a soft-hearted person, so he had to compromise.

"Okay, okay, it's not a secret anyway, you can see it if you want."

As Chen An spread out the stack of photos in his hand, Ah Qiu and Mei Hong both exclaimed at the same time.

"Sister Boli...... Hakurei shrine maiden!? ”

"Hakurei Shrine Maiden!?"

Glancing at Ah Qiu thoughtfully, Chen An quietly withdrew his gaze.

"That's right, these are the photos of the previous Hakurei shrine maidens."

Pointed to the last one

- "This is the incumbent, and everyone should also know, the Reimu who died for money. ”

Fingertips stay on the previous sheet.

- "This is Ayamu, Reimu's grandmother, and the former Hakurei shrine maiden. ”

One by one, the generations of Boli witches were introduced to everyone, and Chen An finally came to the last three.

(By the way, in addition to the thirteenth generation of Hakurei shrine maidens, that is, Reimu and the first generation, other Hakurei shrine maidens, including Ayamu, Chen An all know each other.) ）

The background of all three photos is Hakurei Shrine.

It's just that two of them are the same person, one on the side and one on the front.

Black is long and straight, with a simple string tied near the bottom of her hair (side), a cold and pretty face, wearing a red and white witch costume (normal version), obviously just a photo, but that kind of dusty lotus-like temperament jumps out of the woman.

And the last one is a blonde girl with a red bow tied on her head, a white dress and a red dress, with her eyes closed, holding an erhu and playing in a daze.

Looking at the last three photos, Chen An fell into a trance.

I don't know whether it was a self-talk or an introduction, he said:

"This is a spiritual dream, it's the first generation of Hakurei shrine maiden."

Chen An chuckled.

"Heh, I don't know if the attribute of poverty is an inherent attribute of the Hakurei witches, the Hakuri witches I know seem to be living very poor."

Ah Qiu said softly.

"It's not that poverty is an attribute, it's that they don't want to pursue wealth."

"That's right."

Chen An stared at the photos of the Boli witches, and the emotions in his eyes were complicated.

Sadness? Miss? Suffering? Extrication? Or is it all four?

He couldn't tell, he just swept his gaze over the photographs.

First, second, and third generations...... The 10th, 11th, 12th, and even 13th generations, which is now Reimu.

"Although Reimu seems to be a dead money, like everyone else, he is a fool who can be willing to be bland."

Chen An began to recount the past.

"You know what? What was it like for me to encounter a spiritual dream in the first place?

It was a very cold winter. ”

……

Remember, it was a very cold winter.

The goose-down snow howled in the cold wind and covered the world, turning the world white.

Mountains, forests, and rivers are all there.

Chen An was not afraid of the cold, but in order to avoid the wind and snow that covered the heavens and the earth, he decided to find a place to rest nearby.

"Lianhua, is there any place nearby where I can avoid this heavy snow?"

Holding the large leaves on his head to block the snowflakes, Chen An raised his eyes and looked into the distance. I tried to find a place to hide from school, but I didn't find anything but a blank slate.

"Yes, there are three."

Lianhua's voice was not affected by the heavy snow in the slightest, and it clearly reached Chen An's ears.

"One recently, it's a tree hole. One is farther away from the tree hole, and is a shrine where only one shrine maiden lives. ”

"Oh, what about the furthest one?"

"It's a village."

Lianhua put forward her own suggestions.

"I don't recommend you go here."

Chen An's expression moved.

"Why? Because the farthest? ”

"No, far is secondary, mainly because the village has recently suffered a man-made disaster and has been sacked by wandering thieves. If it weren't for the shrine maiden who happened to make a move, the village would probably have been empty.

So I advise you not to go, or you will be in trouble by the noisy villagers as an intruder. ”

"I see."

Chen An suddenly sighed.

"People eat people, monsters eat people, this world is really getting more and more chaotic."

"What, are you interested?"

Chen An hurriedly freed his hand and made a pause posture.

"Well, no kidding. It's true that I like to be a good person, but I'm not interested in being a savior.

If you see it, you can help it, but if you let me take care of the world, I will be spared, and let the human affairs be taken care of by themselves. ”

The rise and fall of the race, the laws of nature, these things Chen An can't control, and he doesn't bother to care.

He is just a good person who is moving forward on the road without an end, not a saint who saves the suffering and helps the world and loves the people!

I don't know how long we've been together, how can Lianhua not know Chen An, so it's just talking.

She went back to the topic.

"Head north, walk on your feet for an hour to reach the shrine."

Chen An pouted.

"Hey, don't make your own decisions, I haven't said I'm going to the shrine yet."

"Want to go to a sleeping tree hole? To the east, two hours. ”

"Hey, didn't you say lately? How did it get so far away all of a sudden?

Lianhua, are you fooling me? ”

"Because I think your complaint makes me feel bad, I specially found a tree hole farther away for you."

"Damn, you damn little girl, uncle remembers you!"

"Humph!"

After talking to Lianhua, Chen An braved the heavy snow and went to the tree hole in the direction of the two hours away - strange!

I guess I went to the shrine in the direction of an hour's journey.

……

Lianhua said that an hour is an hour, a tea time is not much, a stick of incense is a lot of time, on time for an hour, Chen An came to the shrine that Lianhua said.

And seeing that shrine, Chen An was really shocked.

- It's too broken!

Two of the pillars supporting the eaves of the corridor were broken, and there seemed to be holes in the walls and doors, and there were many planks nailed to them.

The main hall is also in tatters, and in the roar of the wind and snow, the main hall is crumbling and crunching, and it seems that it is about to collapse at any time.

Chen An's ears were tipping, and what he heard was not only the creaking of the struggling house, but also the muttering complaints of the gods enshrined in the shrine.

Chen An looked at this broken shrine and was amazed.

"Tsk, this kind of place is not only inhabited by gods, but also by people, it's really amazing."

……

Hearing this, not only Ah Qiu, but also the others were very surprised.

Reizen's ears shook with astonishment.

"No, although the Hakurei Shrine is a little old, isn't it very intact? Where's the rags? ”

Chen An gently knocked on the door of Ling Xian's head.

"Stupid, the current shrine is intact because it has been repaired, otherwise where can the dilapidated shrine live, and where can it last until now!"

Reisen covered her head, sticking out her tongue cutely and not daring to speak.

After teaching Lingxian a lesson, Chen An continued to tell the original story in everyone's expectant expressions.

"At that time, just as I was marveling at the dilapidated state of the shrine, the door to the side of the main hall, which is now the house where Reimu lives, suddenly opened......"

……

Just as Chen An was amazed at the dilapidated nature of the shrine, and then began to question whether Lianhua had deliberately manipulated him to let him come to this shrine that he didn't know when it would collapse, a door in the corridor next to him suddenly moved.

Crunch~

With some harsh sounds, as the door slowly opened, a woman appeared in front of Chen An.

The melon seed face with soft lines has a clear and beautiful face, but the face is a little pale.

The bridge of the nose is not very high, but it inexplicably makes people feel resolute, and the nose is delicate and small, just right to embellish the red lips.

Thin, somewhat bloodless lips pursed slightly, and the corners of the lips lifted slightly. It's not laughing, but it makes people feel like they're laughing. In addition to being cold, it also reveals an outstanding cordiality.

The eyebrows are very light, and the dark and clear eyes below are as calm and soft as the lake.

The long black hair was restrained by a thin hemp rope in the middle, and the unrestrained hair on both sides fell on the chest, and was blown up by the cold wind mixed with snowflakes.

She wears a red and white witch costume with a lot of pudding, a white top, and red trousers with wide legs.

Cold, soft, and resolute, like a snow lotus on a high mountain, this is Chen An's first image of this witch.

The shrine maiden looked at the strange man who appeared in the courtyard and used the leaves as an umbrella to cover the heavy snow, and tilted her head slightly, as if to express that in such a remote place, there would be people here when the sky was still snowing.

She quickly regained her composure.

"Who are you? Is there anything wrong with coming to Hakurei Shrine at this time? ”

The witch looked at the heavy snow outside, and then at Chen An, who was slightly thinly dressed, and was silent for a moment, then turned sideways to make way for the door that was blocked by her body.

"Forget it, it's still snowing, let's come in and talk about something."

"Thank you so much."

Chen An did not hesitate and strode into the corridor.

Putting down his hand, putting the leaves in the corridor, and then shaking off the snowflakes on his body, Chen An walked into the house.

He walked into the room, looked around, and couldn't help but sigh again.

"It turns out that it's so rotten inside~"

I thought it looked miserable enough on the outside, but I didn't expect the inside to be even worse than the outside.

There is only a low table with some futon, and the walls and ceilings are full of wooden planks that fill holes.

Tsk, coupled with the tattered shrine maiden costume of the shrine maiden herself, it is really miserable.

The witch frowned slightly, I don't know if she was a little dissatisfied with Chen An's outspoken words about the rotten things about the shrine.

Chen An noticed this and was immediately a little embarrassed.

He touched his head and bent over again.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You're kind enough to let me in, but it's rude for me to say that. ”

"No need, what Your Excellency said is also the truth, the simple shrine makes Your Excellency smile."

The witch sat opposite Chen An, hid her lower body in the futon, and picked up the simple wooden cup and pot on the table and poured a glass of water for Chen An.

As a faint steam appeared, the shrine maiden pushed the cup to Chen An.

"Thank you."

The witch tugged at the corners of her mouth, even if it was a reaction to Chen An's gratitude.

"By the way, I don't know why Your Excellency is here? Braving such a heavy snowfall, is there something urgent? ”

She took a closer look at Chen An's clothes, although they looked thinner, but the material was by no means something that ordinary people could wear.

"Judging by Your Excellency's clothes, it shouldn't be a villager from a nearby village, right?"

"What a keen observation."

Glancing at the witch who had never been expressionless in surprise, Chen An took a sip of hot tea...... Well, just slightly hot boiling water, to be exact.

"Yes, it's not a nearby villager, it's just a traveler.

The reason why I came here is just a coincidence. ”

Chen An pointed outside the house, his face full of helplessness.

"As you can see, the wind and snow are too big, so it's not easy to hurry."

The witch stared at Chen An for a long time, making sure that he was not lying, and then bowed her head slightly.

"I see, I see. If it is not too simple, please stay here and rest while the snow does not stop. ”

"Ah, the girl is so kind. And I can't thank you enough. ”

"No need, just a gesture."

……

Sister Hong smacked her lips.

"Is this the meeting between my brother and the first Hakurei shrine maiden? It feels like normal. ”

"And what else do you want? Let me have an earth-shattering opening with her, or a bloody beginning? ”

Mei Hong nodded, thinking deeply.

"I think that's good, just like me, my brother came to a passionate and irrepressible hero to save the beauty!"

Kaguya sneered decisively.

"Come on, it's obvious that I picked you up like garbage, and you're embarrassed to talk nonsense in front of me, you're really thick-skinned."

"You're being picked up like garbage!"

Mei Hong glared at Kaguya dissatisfied, and argued forcefully:

"Uncle Ben said later, did you understand later?"

"I don't understand, you dead turkey!"

"Nani!? Do you want to fight!? ”

"Come on, come on, I'm afraid you're a puppy!"

"Hey, hey, shut up, shut up!"

Seeing that Mei Hong and Hui Ye were arguing and arguing, they rolled up their sleeves and wanted to do it, but Chen An hurriedly stopped them.

"It's just a story, but you can actually quarrel. If you don't let me say it, if you don't let me, I won't say it. ”

"Don't, don't."

Seeing that Chen An was angry, Mei Hong and Hui Ye were stunned.

Mei Hong laughed with her and hurriedly poured Chen An a cup of tea.

"Brother, go on, don't worry about Kaguya's dead housemaiden, I'm curious about what will happen next."

"You ...... guy"

was ridiculed by the opportunity, Kaguya was really indignant, but in order to prevent Chen An from getting angry and not talking, he had to temporarily suppress this breath, and then make a note in his heart, and listen carefully to Chen An continue to tell the story.

"You two...... Alas, I really can't do anything about you. ”

Mei Hong and Hui Ye were both brought up by Chen An, although it has been so long, but the two are more mature than the original in all aspects, in fact, their personalities are no different from the original.

Because of this, Chen An could see the two of them at a glance, especially Hui Ye's intention to keep an account for Mei Hong, and then plan to settle the account after the autumn.

But he didn't bother to care, anyway, it had been noisy for hundreds of years, as long as he didn't see it in person.

In everyone's expectant gaze, Chen An continued to tell about his first encounter with Lingmeng.

He said this with a look of nostalgia on his face.

"Although it looks a little cold, Lingmeng is a cold-faced and kind-hearted fool.

Obviously it's just a stranger who stays overnight, and she doesn't even know her name, and even though there isn't much food left at the shrine, she still warmly entertained me with the only food left.

Well~ What an out-and-out fool. ”

……

Back more than 1,000 years ago, it was the second night of Chen An's stay at Hakurei Shrine.

Although he likes to play stupid, Chen An is actually an extremely shrewd person.

Not only does he see people accurately, but he can even trace and find problems from the humble to the subtle.

This time, of course, the same.

At this time, there is no habit of three meals a day, but two meals a day.

Chen An came to the shrine yesterday morning, a little late, but it happened to be in time for the shrine maiden's breakfast.

Until now, the heavy snow outside has not stopped, and he has eaten a total of four meals here.

And these four meals, except for two breakfasts with pickled vegetables (dried radishes, etc.), are all meaty for dinner.

Although there are very few meats, it is still air-dried and has a very dry taste, but you must understand that it is not easy to eat enough in this world, let alone eat meat!

(By the way, at that time, around 800 A.D., there was a ban on meat in Yingzhou, but there were only five types.) ）

Coupled with the fact that this shrine was so dilapidated, Chen An could naturally guess how kind the witch who had always been silent and had not even told him his name until now had treated him well.

Don't you see, she didn't move a bite of those rare meats, but left them all to Chen An?

Coupled with the complaints of the lovely gods who were always chattering in his ears and seemed to die if they didn't speak for a minute, Chen An also understood that the shrine was actually running out of food.

But even so, the shrine maiden said nothing, let alone demanded payment from him for it, or drove him away.

By the way, the shrines of the past and the shrines of the present are not exactly the same, and there is no interior.

The only place to rest is the kotatsu - the shrine has no extra bedding.

At first, the witch let Chen An sleep, but Chen An didn't agree, and later compromised with each other and slept together.

Back to back, of course, that's all.

Leaning sideways against the witch's back, Chen An shrank in the quilt, listening to the increasingly poignant sound of wind and snow blowing outside the house, and suddenly asked softly:

"Now, shrine maiden, are you asleep?"

After more than ten seconds, the shrine maiden replied:

“…… Well? No. ”

The shrine maiden's voice is very soft, and although it is a little cold, it is indeed very good.

Originally, he didn't feel sleepy, but now that he rarely got a response from the witch, Chen An was even more energetic.

"Miko girl, will you laugh? Can you laugh and listen? Your voice is so good, it must be nice to laugh. ”

The shrine maiden was silent for a moment.

"Not really, no."

"Hey, just laughing, don't be so stingy."

"It's not that I'm stingy, it's just that I really can't. I don't like to do anything deliberately, and neither does laughter. ”

"That's ......"

Chen An pondered for a moment, and his elbow suddenly hit the witch's arm.

"Miko Maiden, do you think I'm handsome?"

The shrine maiden withdrew her hand and did not answer.

Chen An did not give up, and asked:

"Shrine girl, speak, do you think I'm handsome?"

The witch was still silent, and it wasn't until Chen An asked again that she finally spoke again:

"Handsome...... What is the meaning? ”

"Uh, you don't know?"

"I don't understand."

"Hey, lonely idiot"

In the dark, Chen An pouted.

"It's probably what it means to be pleasing to the eye."

I've never heard of the word pleasing to the eye, but I can understand what it means.

She answered honestly:

"That's right...... I think you're quite pleasing to the eye, Your Excellency. ”

Chen An was very dissatisfied with this answer.

"Shrine maiden, isn't your vision too bad, I should be very pleasing to the eye, okay?

You must know that I am the most handsome man in the world! ”

Lianhua's voice came out.

"Shameless to die!"

Chen An didn't pay attention to her, the witch girl next to her was still there, if she quarreled with Lianhua, she would definitely be regarded as a stupid person talking to the air.

"Is the world's first pleasing ......"

The shrine maiden's voice paused, and she said:

"This title should be someone else lying to you."

Chen An: "......"

"Honest girl!"

The ridicule of Lianhua and the god in his ears made Chen An angry.

If it weren't for the fact that the kotatsu was too narrow, he would have jumped up excitedly.

He loudly accused:

"What do you mean, shrine maiden? Are you saying I'm not handsome?

I tell you, be honest! Honesty, understand!?

I'm not handsome, and I dare to say such a big lie blatantly, aren't you afraid of the gods condemning you! ”

"This ...... I'm sorry, I'm not a lie. And ......"

As if thinking about how to answer, the shrine maiden's voice paused again.

"I think you've really been deceived."

Chen An: "......"

So, am I really not handsome!?

Chen An grinded his teeth with hatred.

"Shrine maiden, your aesthetics must be as poor as your shrine."

In the dark, because his back was to the witch, Chen An couldn't see her expression, but listened to her whisper in that soft and refreshing voice:

"Poverty? Perhaps. Anyway, as long as I can live peacefully and peacefully, I am already very satisfied. ”

"Will you live peacefully and peacefully? It's a simple, ordinary idea. ”

Chen An rested his head on the side of his arm, and suddenly fell silent.

In silence, the shrine maiden suddenly asked:

"Your Excellency, you say that you are a traveler, have you walked and seen many places?"

"Huh? Do you want to know? ”

"Well, I grew up in a shrine since I was a child, so I'm a little curious."

The shrine maiden's voice didn't fluctuate, and it was really just curiosity.

She grew up at a shrine, and the furthest she could get to a nearby village was just that.

It is rare to meet Chen An, a so-called traveler, and it is inevitable that he will be a little curious for a while.

"Curious...... Well, since you're curious, I'll tell you about it. ”

Chen An's tone was very soft.

"Yes, I've been traveling a lot.

There are so many that even I can't count how many places I've walked. ”

"Maybe you don't believe it, but there are places I go to that ordinary people can't go to at all."

Chen An didn't understand why he said this, but he suddenly felt the urge not to vomit unpleasantly.

Maybe it's a person who walks for too long and is a little tired.

Chen An thought so, so he continued.

"Heaven, Demons, Beyond, Underworld, Hell...... I've been to most of these legendary places. ”

The witch was a little surprised, but she didn't disbelieve Chen An.

There was a rare emotion in her voice.

"Oh, I wonder what kind of places you are talking about, are they beautiful?"

"Except for Hell and the Underworld, all other places are indeed beautiful."

Chen An recounted what he had seen and heard in the past.

The leisure of the heavenly realm, the peace and worry-free of the demon realm, the eternal day flower sea on the other side, the gray vastness of the underworld, and the ...... of hell

Wait, wait, I don't know how long I said, and then I couldn't get enough of it.

The shrine maiden remained silent, listening attentively.

It wasn't until Chen An was no longer talking that she said with some hesitation:

"It's amazing. But...... Your Excellency, you must have walked a long time after walking through so many places, right? ”

"Long? Oh, yes, it's been a long time. ”

Chen An laughed meaninglessly.

"I just don't know if I'm still going to walk for that long."

"Oh, your Excellency, is your trip without a purpose? Won't you feel tired if you keep moving forward? ”

Tired?

Chen An was silent and did not answer.

The sound of the wind outside the house became more and more terrible, as if something was wailing on the verge of death.

Whew~Whew~Whew~

The wind howled, mixed with snowflakes crashing into the room again and again, as if trying to break or break something.

Crunch! Syllable! Call~~~

With a sudden screeching sound, a hole suddenly leaked in the roof overhead.

The biting cold wind had been waiting for a long time, and the moment the roof broke, it seized the opportunity to roar through the hole with its teeth and claws.

The temperature in the house plummeted, and Chen An even felt that there were snowflakes falling on his face, and the snowflakes melted in an instant, and the chill was cold to the bone.

Chen An, who was silent, was excited and hurriedly got out of the furnace.

Looking at the snow-white on his head, and the holes that snowflakes drifted into from time to time, he scratched his head a little.

"Miko Maiden, your roof is not very strong."

"It's nothing, just get used to it. You rest first, and I'll make up for it right away. ”

The shrine maiden was accustomed to the occasional problems in the dilapidated house, and she climbed out of the kotatsu, put on her clogs, and was about to push open the door and brave the wind and snow to repair the roof.

"Wait!"

Seeing that the witch was about to open the door, Chen An hurriedly stopped her. When he put on his boots, he took off his robe to the shrine maiden.

The witch took the robe and looked at Chen An suspiciously.

"What, aren't you cold?"

"Don't worry, this low temperature can't help me."

Chen An smiled at the witch, pushed open the door one step ahead of her, and walked out of the room wearing only a thin undershirt.

The shrine maiden was stunned for a moment, and quickly grabbed him.

"Wait, what are you going to do?"

Chen An turned his head and looked at the witch strangely.

"What can I do when I go out at this time, repair the roof."

"Don't bother Your Excellency, it's good for the little girl to come by herself for this kind of trivial matter."

The long hair was blown by the cold wind, making the witch who wanted to go out shrink her body coldly.

She stretched out her hand to pull Chen An back, but Chen An avoided her.

Chen An pouted.

"Come on, you say you're a little girl, how can I let you out on such a cold day."

"......"

"Nothing! I'm a man and you're a woman, understand? ”

Chen An decisively interrupted the witch's words, and then reached out and took back his robe and put it on for her.

"Hurry inside, it's cold outside, be careful not to get sick."

The witch pulled the robe on her body, looked at Chen An, who was thinly dressed, and frowned,

"Your Excellency, you're the one you should be careful, aren't you?"

"Hey, don't worry, I'm not afraid of the cold."

"It's not that I'm afraid of ......"

"Oh, aren't you very silent, why are you so verbose this time, let you go in quickly!"

Chen An pretended to be impatient to interrupt the witch, pushed her into the room, and then closed the door.

"Women are such a nuisance."

Muttering, Chen An walked into the snowstorm.

The wind and snow hit the face and body, which not only hurt a little, but also made people unable to open their eyes.

Braving the heavy snow and turning around the house for most of the time, Chen An found the wooden plank that was almost buried by the snow.

Picking up the plank, Chen An jumped onto the roof with a slight leap.

"Hey, the monster has to be strong, it's really easy to eat."

Looking at the wooden planks on the roof that were only tied with rope and then covered with straw, Chen An smacked his lips, carefully avoiding the wooden blocks, and soon found the hole.

"Your Excellency, are you alright?"

"Rest assured, rest assured. Straight away? ”

After saying hello to the shrine maidens in the house who looked up at him, Chen An put down the planks and began to mend the roof.

It didn't take much trouble, just stuffed the plank into the knot, and then picked up the straw on one side and covered it.

The roof was set up in three or two, but Chen An did not go back to the house directly.

He sat on the roof, looking at the sky, the moon that was obscured by the snow and not very bright, and could only be dimly seen.

Chen An suddenly sighed.

"Lianhua, I seem to be getting more and more fragile. Obviously, it hasn't been long since we separated, and suddenly I'm a little tired. ”

"Tired? Then take a break. ”

Lianhua's words revealed an intoxicating concern.

"The chaos of this world is really tiring, if you really feel tired, then stop for a while, don't force yourself."

"Stop......"

Looking blankly at the snow-white sky, letting the wind, snow and cold invade him, Chen An was silent.

After a while, as if he heard something, he suddenly pursed his lips.

"Forget it, if you don't want to go, you don't want to go, there's really something to worry about."

Stretching his waist, shaking his head and shaking off the snowflakes in his hair, Chen An jumped off the roof.

Looking at the witch who opened the door in the corridor and was about to come out, Chen An raised his eyebrows.

"Miko Maiden, why did you come out?"

The shrine maiden's face was slightly relieved.

"It's nothing, it's just that I didn't come back for a long time, so I don't worry about coming to see it.

Don't stand stupidly, it's so cold outside, hurry up and come in. ”

"Oops, that's bothering you."

Chen An laughed and strode down the corridor.

And just as Chen An entered the house and passed by the witch, he suddenly asked a strange question.

"It may be a bit rude, but ...... Miko Maiden, are you the only one at the shrine? What about your parents, or the shrine's original shrine maiden? ”

The shrine maiden closed the door and lowered her eyelids.

"Ah, yes. Growing up, I was always alone.

As for the shrine maiden before the shrine. I'm sorry, but it's just a dilapidated shrine. ”

The implication is that I don't know.

Chen An sighed thoughtfully.

"Well, that's really ...... That's great~"

The last four words are inaudible.
