Chapter 6: The Purple Elephant

It's a quiet and beautiful village, and when you look closely, you can see the rough hand-built wooden houses, the bluestone wells, and the piles of dead grass...... Everything is full of the oldness of the times, but it is the mellow fragrance like old wine that makes Zhibei and Meng stunned. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the bustling modern society, Zhibei, which has never had exactly the same high-rise buildings to see, has seen such a sloppy but comfortable residence there, even if the so-called farmhouse imitates it again, it is difficult to escape the shadow of modern civilization. For Moe, the human development of her time was also good, and she had long abandoned this old and messy house.

From time to time there came the shouts of men, the laughter of women, the cry of children, and the barking of chickens and dogs, which harmoniously blended into the picturesque scene, which was obviously not close, but it gave Zhibei a sense of remoteness, perhaps because of this large expanse of emptiness out of the forest, which allowed the sound to run around.

"Those wolf cubs again?" The rough male voice is from far and near, and you can hear the helplessness and amusement from it.

"It must be those guys! What a bunch of restless mischievous ghosts!! Another nice female voice affirmed, also looking helpless.

With a series of footsteps, two people turned out of the dirt road between two thatched huts at the edge of the village. One was a middle-aged man, with a stout body, dark skin, thick features, and a smile on his face, he was dressed in a gray coarse cloth coat, and hung a black iron weapon on a rope tied around his waist, probably a sword!!

The other was a young girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with delicate skin, a beautiful face, like a flower blooming in the early morning, and also a monotonous cloth dress, carrying a bow and quiver on her back, although she was dressed as a hunter, but still showing the girlish charm of cardamom years.

As soon as these two people turned out, they found Zhibei and Meng standing on the grassy slope at the entrance of the village, the clothes Zhibei was wearing were modern shirts, completely different from the two, and Meng was a small goblin-like creature, but in the face of this huge difference, the man and the girl were not afraid, nor afraid, they just put away their helpless expressions, showing a warm and warm smile like the sun.

"What...... It's not those wolf cubs! The man scratched his head and walked towards Zhibei and Meng as he spoke, "I still heard the wolf howling before I came over!" ”

It turned out that two ...... were found Is it a traveler? The girl followed the man and asked Zhibei with a smile, she pointed to the cute floating in the air lively, "Who is this?" What should I call it? ”

Zhibei was stunned for a moment, he was surprised by the performance of these two people, this is not a problem of being unsuspecting at all, is it so simple to be familiar to this point? Such suspicion is natural, because the society in Zhibei is a dark backwater cloaked in the cloak of civilization, where everyone doubts each other, intrigues, and constantly struggles in the quagmire of despair, but there is never a way out, only numb survival.

There, man is no longer a delicate life like a man, but like a domestic animal, and his eyes are only meaningless mud fences.

Zhibei should be like this.

Maybe it was the depravity in the eyes of others that saved Zhibei, or maybe it was just the opportunity to cross over that washed him. In the past, he hid in the room and observed the darkness, yearning for a better world, and the crossing gave him the opportunity to change, so he was just stunned for a moment, he instantly let down his guard, and also showed a heartfelt smile.

"Good afternoon, two of you! I'm a passing traveler Zhibei, this is my partner, Moe! Zhibei patted the floating Meng beside him and said, "It's an elf!! It can't speak, but it can understand you! ”

"Oh!!" Moe raised her hands and gave a crisp cry to the two of them.

"It's greeting you!!" Zhibei explained with a smile.

"Oooh oh !!" The man who obviously looked stable was the first to shout excitedly, looking at his cheerful expression, it was obvious that he was cute by the sensing beast, and he greeted him a little crampedly, "Moe, hello! ”

"Oh!! (Hello)" the Perception Beast replied politely.

"Wow!! So cute! Super cute! Why are you so cute!! The girl had already burst into starry eyes, she retracted her hands in front of her chest, and begged the hamster for food, "Moe, can I hug you?" ”

"Oh (of course)......" Moe floated towards the girl a little helplessly.

Then there was a lot of hilarity.

After making a fuss, the man said apologetically, "What a faux pas!" We haven't introduced ourselves yet! He patted his strong chest and said, "I'm Higashiyagawa Nagatei, the head of this village!" He pointed to the girl standing beside him again, "This is my daughter, Higashiyagawa Yuka, the chief of the village guard!" ”

The girl greeted Zhibei and Meng with a smile, "Hello! Hee-hee......"

"Hello!" "Oh!!"

"Well...... Let's follow us into the village first! If you don't have lunch, you might as well come along! Changting said, and took the two of Zhibei (?) Walked towards the village.

"We're really hungry...... Thanks! …… Hagashitani River. Zhibei thanked.

"You can call me Changting or Uncle Changting, don't be too stubborn! Haha......" Changting said with a smile.

"That's what it's called, Uncle Changting."

"Know the North, Know the North! How did you and Moe find our village? Xihua on the side asked curiously, "Our village is very remote...... No outsiders have come for two or three years. ”

"We...... It was brought by a wolf! We were lost in the forest, but thanks to the wolf, we were able to find the human population!! Zhibei looked back at the bouncing sunset flowers and replied with a smile.

"Oh!!" Xihua let out a cry of surprise, and then said funny, "That must be the wolves of the Hungry Wolf Gang, although these naughty little guys like to make trouble, but they are all kind guys, they are obviously wolves, but they don't eat meat, not even fruits, just like fairies, but they just love to prank!! ”

Zhibei heard that his head was full of black lines, no wonder it would destroy the food chain, these wolves are too strange!

"Why are they like this?" Zhibei asked Xihua, maybe the locals would know the reason.

"Hmm...... Actually, we don't know very well...... However, I heard from Master Mu Qing in the village that this is because this is a blessed land! But I don't know if Master Mu Qing's words are true. ”

"Master Mu Qing?"

"Ahh Master Mu Qing is the most respected person in the village! I've heard that I traveled from far, far away! Self-proclaimed Taoist priest, although I don't know what profession it is, but he is very well-informed!! ”

Taoist? Have all the Taoist priests come to Japan? What kind of era is this...... Zhibei shook his head, no, this doesn't have to be Japan!!

"Speaking of which, what are you traveling for?" Yuka asked again.

"We...... It's to find someone...... No, it can't be counted as a person...... Never mind...... It's just a woman, and her name is Yakumo Murasaki. Zhibei replied.

"Yakumo Murasaki? Is she beautiful? Yuka asked.

"It's beautiful......" Zhibei replied.

"Can you describe it? Look at the way you look, I like her very much! At this moment, the long pavilion in front of him asked.

"Nope! I don't like her either...... Neither is it right...... Well, she is a very beautiful woman, with long blond hair, a slender figure, and a perfect face like a fairy. Zhibei thought back to the image of Yakumo Purple in the game and various fandoms, but in the end, he found that that profound and distinctive appearance only turned into such a few words in the end.

"Is she kind?" Yuka asked.

Zhibei, who just wanted to nod, was suddenly stunned, he shook his head, "No...... It's not a ......."

"Really? So why did Zhibei look for her? Yuka asked.

Yes...... That's right, it's a mission with no punishment anyway, and it doesn't necessarily have to be found Yakumo Zi, but Zhibei just wants to meet her, not curious about what Yakumo Zi looks like before becoming a monster, he just wants to meet her.

Why? I want to see her so much......

Zhibei looked at the bright jungle in the distance, and suddenly smiled, "Because! She's a very special ...... Very special...... What a great man!! ”
