"Hum hum ......"

Humming a pleasant song, Chen An leaned against the rock and slowly fell asleep. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In his quiet sleep, he seemed to see Lumia, Marisa, and Wenwen...... Everyone he knew in Gensokyo was smiling at him.

Their beautiful and flawless happy smiling faces made Chen An in his sleep can't help but smile.

Oh, that's beautiful......

……

"Excuse me, have you seen Ann?"

In the old capital, Lian Lian was asking the people around her about Chen An's whereabouts, but because the bracelet was taken off, no one paid attention to her.

Lian Lian did not give up, but insisted on but futile pulling different passers-by to ask the same question in this noisy, lively, beautiful and peaceful city.

"Excuse me...... Have you ever seen Ann? ”

……

"Hum hum ......"

I don't know how long it took, but in the light melody that still echoed in the underground passage, Chen An opened his eyes.

"Good morning, everyone."

Although there was no one in the matter, and I didn't know if it was morning, Chen An still greeted the darkness in front of him with a happy face.

It's a matter of habit.

After sleeping in the underground passage, Chen An had already fallen a lot of dust on his body, but he didn't find it, no, maybe he just didn't care if he found it.

But he still sat quietly on the ground and didn't move any further, and his mouth began to hum the light little song to Marisa's voice again.

"Hum hum ......"

Chen An hummed the tune like this, even if his throat began to become a little hoarse, he didn't stop, but conjured a bottle of wine to moisten his throat and continued to hum.

It's so boring that I can only sing to pass the time.

In this way, time passed slowly in the light melody, and it was not until Chen An's humming voice began to change tone that he groped his way to his feet, patted his clothes, and walked straight into the darkness.

Oops, it's almost time, let's hear the results of Palushi's hard work in the day.

……

"Hum hum ......"

Drinking wine and humming songs, Chen An finally came to the stone bridge where Paluxi was located.

"Hey, Chen An, I succeeded!"

As soon as he stepped onto the stone bridge, Palushi, who heard the voice, couldn't wait to run over.

She couldn't wait to start showing off with Chen An.

Chen An didn't speak, just smiled slightly and took a few steps back to the starting point of the stone bridge, before sitting down and conjuring up wine and handing it to the excited Palushi, silently listening to her.

"You don't know, I went to the old capital yesterday, and I used the method you taught me to be unhappy all day."

The thought of her friends Kuroya Mountain Maiden and Qi Simei looking at her in surprise because of this, and the heartfelt compliments that followed Palushi could not be said to be happy.

It was the first time she had been exaggerated.

"yes, that's pretty jealous."

Chen An didn't pay attention to his aching throat, but smiled and expressed his jealousy to the girl.

This little girl, actually succeeded, it seems that she really wants to change.

"Hee-hee, I'll forgive you for your jealousy."

Paluxi smiled happily, and began to show off to Chen An about the happy things she met in the old capital yesterday, those underground monsters, and the happy things of the ghost clan.

Chen An did not stop the girl's boastful talk, just smiled and listened, and then said a few words from time to time to express her jealousy to make her even happier.

……

"Hum hum ......"

After making a promise to see the girl again tomorrow, Chen An left the stone bridge and embarked on the road back.

Chen An didn't hum, just opened the pendant and only listened to its melody.

Because he suddenly felt that it was more pleasant to just listen to Marisa's voice than to abuse his ears with his own voice, which had been distorted.

It's a big grin, but Marisa's voice isn't bad.

With a slow, relaxed but firm pace, Chen An returned to the starting point, his current temporary home, the abandoned passage.

Sitting down, Chen An leaned against the stone wall motionlessly and listened to the light melody and began to wait slowly, waiting for the passage of time until the time came again, or, the day came.

……

"Excuse me, have you seen Ann?"

The girl's hoarse, neglected problems still echo in the old capital.

……

Temple of the Earth Spirit.

"Ah Lian, haven't you found a love yet?"

Listening to the news that Ah Lian brought back, Jue's face couldn't hide his tiredness and disappointment.

It's been a few days, why haven't you come back yet?

Jue suddenly laughed at himself.

Oh, it looks like Lian Lian is really disappointed in her sister.

"Yes, Lord Jue, the second miss seems to be avoiding me this time, and I can't find her anyway."

Ah Lian has traveled all over the places that Lian Lian often goes, but he has not gained anything at all.

"Love, Love......"

He muttered his sister's name in pain, as if he heard her resolute voice when she left.

“…… I hate such an older sister. ”

"Ah Lian, you go down first, let me be alone for a while."

The decadent butt sat on the chair under him, and waved his hand at Ah Lian weakly.

is not letting Ah Lian look for Lian Lian, because she knows that Lian Lian is determined not to let them find it, and with this kind of determined love, no one in the world will be able to find her unless she is willing.

"Jue, Jue-sama......"

Instead of retreating from Jue's words, Rin stood in place with some hesitation on his face.

Seems to have made up his mind, A-ri.

"I didn't find the second miss, but when I was looking for the second miss, I found Chen An."

"Chen An? The man? ”

Jue's face was full of waves, just a faint way.

"What if you find him?"

She only cares about love, and she doesn't care at all about Chen An's cheap human being who makes her hate.

Rin explained.

"He's a little weird, because I didn't find him in the old capital, but in those abandoned underground passages."

After hesitating for a moment, as if he was afraid that he would not understand, Ah Lian added.

"It's those uninhabited abandoned passages that are still full of resentful spirits."

Jue was stunned, and the eyeballs on his chest even began to sway up and down because of excessive consternation.

Half a salary, she calmed down and asked.

"Since he went to find death himself, it has nothing to do with me."

A blind man who can't see goes to that kind of place, and he doesn't think he's still alive.

"No, he's alive."

Ah Lian said again.

"This is exactly what I think is strange, because those resentful spirits seem to be very afraid of Chen An, and they don't dare to approach him at all, and Chen An himself is also very strange, I followed him for a short time, and found that he was always in that passage and didn't go."

Jue frowned, thought about it unconsciously, and found that Ah Lian was not lying.

How is it possible that a blind man can make those resentful spirits afraid, what is the origin of that guy?

The expression on Jue's face was cloudy, and he was silent for a while, and suddenly said.

"Which passage is that man in, you take me there."

"Ah, Lord Jue, what are you talking about?"

Rin looked stunned.

"Take me there."

Jue repeated it again.

The man she couldn't see through could actually live in the pile of resentful spirits, it was really weird, since that was the case, then she would personally observe where that man's weirdness was.

If he really has bad intentions for love......

Jue's eyes flashed with fierceness.

Hmph, if that's the case, then don't blame her, even if she is hated by Lian Lian for a lifetime, she will kill him!

“…… Be. ”

As if shocked by the fierce momentum on Jue's body, Ah Lian was stunned for a while before responding.

……

With Jue, Ah Lian finally came to the underground passage where Chen An was.

She gestured to the passage not far away.

"Master Jue, Chen An is inside."

Jue walked in without hesitation, and Ah Yan followed.

Driving away the resentful spirits that stood in his way, Satoru finally saw the strange man.

He was leaning against the stone wall of the passage, motionless. He held a small vocalizing thing in his hand, and his dull pale hair fell messily from behind him to the ground.

"Hum hum ......"

Listening to the brisk music echoing in the underground passage, Jue's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

What the hell is going on with this man? It's okay not to let Ah Lian take him back to the ground or go to the old capital, but he actually ran to this kind of ghost place alone to be in a daze, is he crazy?

Jue asked Ari beside him softly.

"He's always been here?"

"Yes."

Ah Lian also lowered his voice and said.

"He doesn't seem to have moved since I found out."

Ah Lian's observation was very careful, so he found details that Chen An had not touched.

I feel even more strange, what the hell is going on with this man, every move is so strange.

"Ahhh

Just when Jue secretly thought about the reason why Chen An stayed here, Chen An there suddenly moved, he put away the pendant in his hand, and stood up with a mutter.

Jue and Ah Lian hurriedly exited the passage and hid to the side to watch Chen An leave.

"Where did he go?"

Looking at Chen An's departing figure, he felt even more curious, didn't Ah Lian say that he came from the ground? After another day here, where else can he go now?

"Ran, let's go take a look."

"Yes."

After thinking about it, Jue still couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, so he motioned to Ah Lian next to him to follow Chen An with her.

Follow him and maybe find a little clue about love, but if not, you can also observe this eccentric man. Where is he good, so let Lian Lian like it.

"What is he doing here?"

After following Chen An for a while, Jue and Ah Lian eventually followed him to the stone bridge connecting the ground and the ground where Napalushi was.

Watching Chen An step on the stone bridge, he was shocked.

What is this man going to do, do you want to get out of the underground?

Just as Jue was about to continue chasing Chen An and Ah Lian onto the stone bridge, the sharp-eyed Ah Lian seemed to see something, and hurriedly pulled Jue to hide.

As soon as the two of them hid, Chen An and Paluxi walked back, and finally coincidentally walked to the place where Jue and Ah Lian were hiding and sat down.

"Hey, Chen An, you're late today."

Paluxi looked at the man next to her and complained, after waiting for so long, she thought that Chen An would not come today.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you also know that I can't see things, and I live far away, so I came slowly."

Chen An explained apologetically.

Palushi was curious.

"By the way, where do you live? I've never seen you before. ”

The residents of the old capital are all women, if Chen An lives there, he should be a big man very eye-catching, and the fact is that Paluxi has never heard of him, and he has specially asked someone in the past few days, and the result is not that she is lonely and unheard, but that Chen An is really not from the old capital.

"It's not there, it's just a very remote place, and it's normal that you don't know."

Chen An didn't want to explain that he was actually just hiding in a no-man's corner and waiting for time to pass, but he didn't know how to divert Paluxi's attention.

"By the way, did you go to the old capital yesterday?"

"Gone and went."

Palushi forgot her previous doubts for a moment, and she said excitedly.

"You know, someone invited me and the mountain girl to drink yesterday! How's that, jealousy, right? ”

The monsters in the old capital actually know each other, most of them are generous and bold and straightforward ghost clans, and it is common to casually pull a friend who is pleasing to the eye to drink, but because of Palushi's jealous character, few people will take their own humiliation and go to her for a drink.

However, in the past few days, Palushi has been smiling all day long without mocking others, which immediately shocked those people, and curiously pulled her to drink to understand why she had changed this way.

Of course, this kind of secret hinted at in his heart was not told to others, but he looked at them itching because of curiosity.

"yes, that's jealous."

Chen An still had a smile on his face as he spoke, not looking like jealousy at all.

However, Paluxi was used to it, but she kept hinting at herself in her heart, implying that Chen An was just forcing a smile, but she was actually very jealous of her, so she smiled even brighter.

"What kind of self-delusion is this?"

Jue hid to the side and observed the two who were drinking, but they accidentally heard the thoughts in Palushi's heart, and they were immediately shocked.

And she also found out that this kind of thing that makes others despise herself was actually taught to Palushi by that man, what is he doing?

Rin also looked at Palushi, who had been smiling there, with a look of astonishment.

What's the matter, when did Palushi become like this, and he was able to talk and laugh with others without sarcastic, could it be that the sun came out in the west?

Jue and Ah Rin looked at each other, and both noticed the consternation on each other's faces.

So he secretly walked away with a tacit understanding, and didn't ask until the place where Paluxi and Chen An couldn't find it.

"What did you find, and why were you so surprised?"

"Master Jue, that's the case, the person who drank with Chen An is called Paluxi, maybe you don't know, her personality is a little strange, she is a good person, but she likes jealousy very much, no matter what, as long as she feels that she is inferior to the other party, she will start to be jealous, not only that, if others are not as good as her but she is not jealous, she will even be jealous because of that tolerance, it is simply hopeless.

But you also saw it before, she actually talked and laughed with Chen An, and she didn't have any jealousy at all, which was really strange. ”

Because Arin used to go to the ground to find corpses, he often dealt with Palushi, so he still knows Paluxi very well.

She explained her surprise and asked at Jue.

"What do you think is wrong? Did you see something in Palushi's heart? ”

Satoru also told Rin what she saw in Palushi's heart.

After hearing this, Ah Lian thought of Paluxi's appearance before, and was suddenly surprised when he thought of Paluxi's appearance just now.

"Could it be that Chen An is helping her change that kind of broken character!?"

No, it's impossible to think about such a thing.

"That's what I'm weird about, I also found out that he and that girl actually didn't know each other for a long time, they only met on the day they came out of the Earth Spirit Hall a few days ago, and that idea was actually told to her by the man who met him for the first time, if he was really helping her, it can only be said that the man was too kind and nosy."

Jue frowned and said again.

"But when I came into contact with him in the Earth Spirit Temple that day, I didn't find that he had such kindness, except that the man's mouth was particularly annoying."

"No, maybe Chen An really has such a good intention."

Ari said.

"I don't know if the adults have found out, Ah Kong and those pets are very close to Chen An, you also know that although Ah Kong is a stupid person, her intuition is very accurate, and she will never approach those impure guys, even if she is close, she is also wary, but she has no defense against Chen An that day.

There is also the second lady, she looks ignorant, in fact, her intuition is more keen, don't you see that no matter how she walks around, she still never gets lost? ”

No matter where you go, you can return to the Earth Spirit Hall in the end.

"Love ......"

Jue's eyes darkened.

didn't find any abnormalities in Jue, and the more Ah Lian analyzed, the more energetic he became, and said.

"And that day, in fact, not only Lord Jue, I was also angry by Chen An's bad mouth at the beginning, but did Lord Jue find out? Except for me and you, Ah Kong and the second young lady Chen Anke didn't mention a word of damage. And they were all very happy that day. ”

Ah Lian thought for a moment and added.

"Actually, I'm quite happy, as if there is an invisible burden on my body that has disappeared, and the whole person is a lot more relaxed."

It's not nonsense, she really feels that way.

She laughed badly that day.

When she thought about it carefully, she was shocked, because she found that it was really like this, that day she only felt that she couldn't eat because of that man's bad mouth and didn't find out, but now that she thought about it that day, she was indeed very relaxed, as if the loneliness and self-pity that had been with her all along had disappeared.

Full of thoughts, except for depression and wanting to get back from Chen An, there is nothing left.

Jue frowned, and began to admit Ah Li's analysis in his heart, but he didn't let go.

"Hmph, who knows if it's a coincidence, maybe it's just his simple mouth that happened to run into it."

The two tails behind Ah Lian flicked, thinking that this possibility was not impossible, but just as soon as she rolled her eyes, she looked at the two girls who appeared not far away and laughed slyly.

"Isn't that easy to figure out?"

Jue was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ah Lian thoughtfully.

……

"Now, Mountain Maiden, are we really going to take a peek at Palushi?"

Hidden in the floating barrel, Kismei's expression was a little hesitant.

I always think that this kind of behavior is not very good.

"Of course, don't you wonder why Palushi suddenly changed as a person?"

The Black Valley Mountain Girl was very curious, and every time she thought of this, she couldn't help but feel itchy, but Palushi kept hanging their appetite and refused to speak, which was really depressing.

She huffed.

"Who told Palushi not to tell us, in that case we have to see for ourselves."

Qi Simei is actually very curious, Palushi used to pull her face every day as if everyone owed her money, but in recent days, she has completely changed as a person, she is all smiling, and it is really strange that she did not complain to them about her jealousy of others.

"But she didn't say, what's the use of us here?"

"You fool."

The Black Valley Girl helplessly poked Qi Simei's forehead floating beside her and explained.

"Didn't you notice that after Palushi changed as a person, he would leave the old capital and run to the stone bridge as soon as he finished drinking?"

In the past, Palushi went to the old capital, but it took a long time before he was willing to leave.

"Hey, you're saying that the reason for Palushi's change is in ......"

When Qi Simei heard the explanation of the Black Valley Girl, she suddenly realized, and just as she was about to ask if this was the case, her eyes suddenly went dark, and the wooden barrel fell from the air to the ground, and the person was also unconscious.

Like her, there was also the Black Valley girl on the side, who also fainted to the ground as soon as she was weak.

After a while, the two of them still fell to the ground motionless, so Ah Lian and Jue walked out from the side.

"It's worthy of Lord Jue, there is really a way."

Ah Lian looked at the two unconscious girls and suddenly exclaimed.

She was still thinking about whether to use violence to make them submit, but she didn't expect that Lord Jue had already solved the two of them quietly.

"It's nothing, it's just a little trick."

Jue doesn't care about Ah Li's praise at all, this method will also work against weak monsters, if the Black Valley Girl and Qi Simei are stronger, it will probably be ineffective.

Jue silently looked at the unconscious two people on the ground, and said.

"If you have any ideas, do it quickly, remember, you can't let them have an accident."

Lian Lian is right, she was a little wrong in the past, as for now, let's try to change it back, and change back to the Gu Ming Dijue that makes my sister like to respect.

"Don't worry, I won't mess around."

Ah Lian didn't care about the coldness at all, anyway, she was like this, except for the second lady next to her, she rarely smiled.

Just rubbed his hands confidently and said again.

"But it's still a little bit close, so I'll have to trouble Lord Jue for a while......"

"Got it."

Jue turned his head to look at Ah Li, and nodded lightly to show that he understood.

……

"Hum hum ......"

After drinking with Paluxi and listening to the music from the pendant, Chen An embarked on the way back again.

The first half of the road was as usual, and there was no sound except for his own footsteps and melodies, but after walking for a while, he suddenly heard a cry for help.

The Black Valley Maiden and Kismei looked at the surrounding circle of flames and the group of resentful spirits beyond the flames, and they really wanted to cry without tears.

I didn't expect to be just curious to go to the stone bridge to see what the reason for Paluxi's change was, but I didn't expect to faint inexplicably halfway, so forget it, after all, the road is still very safe, but I didn't expect to wake up and actually appear in a strange place, this is miserable, I woke up and found that I was surrounded by flames rushing to the sky, and there was a large area of resentful spirits outside, but I don't know why I couldn't fly.

This is a good thing that the immoral guy did!

Fortunately, they are protected by the flames outside, otherwise they would have to become part of the resentful spirits.

"What now? Mountain Girl. ”

Qi Simei looked at the large group of resentful spirits outside, and she was almost crying with fear.

"It's okay, I don't know what's going on, but we're safe now."

Although she was also scared, in order to comfort Qi Simei, the Black Valley Girl still made a confident look.

She turned her head to look at the circle of flames around her, and suddenly wondered.

It's strange, why isn't it hot at all when it's so close? Could it be that this fire is fake?

Thinking of this, the curiosity of the black valley girl burst out, and she didn't care that now was not the time to be curious, so she tentatively touched the flame in front of her with her hand, but immediately withdrew her hand in pain and grinned.

"Oops, it hurts!"

While suffering from pain, the Black Valley Girl was also surprised to find that her hand was nothing except for the pain.

It was still white and tender, and there were no black scorch marks at all.

What's the situation? What the hell is this?

Discovering this strange thing, the Black Valley Girl's curiosity could not be suppressed even more, and after thinking about it, she carefully put her sleeve on the fire to experiment, and at the same time was engrossed in preparing to take back her clothes at any time.

It's fine because the clothes are on, but if you wait and burn people together, it will be miserable.

A girl with a fearless spirit was pleasantly surprised...... The clothes are fine!

In other words, if this kind of fire is touched, it will not hurt at all, except for the pain.

So she was pleasantly surprised to tell her companion about this discovery.

Qi Simei put her hands on the edge of the barrel, pressed her chin on the back of her hand, and looked at the black valley girl, and said weakly.

"And then? What's the use of knowing this, there are so many resentful spirits outside, we will be buried by them when we go out. ”

She and the Black Valley Girl are not powerful monsters, if they are trapped in the group of resentful spirits...... It's dead.

"Ugh."

The Black Valley Girl was stunned and felt that this was the case, and she suddenly became depressed.

Not to mention the resentful spirits outside, she can't stand the pain of being touched by the fire.

"So what now?"

The Black Valley Girl sat on the ground and looked at the resentful spirits twisted in the strange flames outside, and suddenly hammered her head in frustration.

"It's all my fault, if I hadn't been so curious, I wouldn't have fallen into this situation now."

"It doesn't matter."

Seeing the black valley girl's extremely self-reproachful appearance, it was Kismei's turn to comfort her.

"Although we can't get out, they can't get in either, waiting, maybe the evil spirits outside will leave, and the fire will disappear."

"Well, I hope so."

The Black Valley Girl barely cheered up, smiled at the worried Qi Simei, hugged her legs, leaned her chin on her knees, and looked at the dark passage marked by flames in the distance, silently distracted.

I don't know how long it took, but there was no sign of the resentful spirits outside, and not only that, but there seemed to be signs of increase.

"Woo, woo......"

Suddenly, the Black Valley Girl cried. She buried her face in her knees, and choked up as her shoulders trembled.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Xiaomei, if I didn't have to come, you wouldn't have been implicated by me to become like this."

Woo, it's all to blame for that damn curiosity, woo, it's okay for her to die by herself, but if Xiaomei also has an accident because of her, she won't be at ease even if she dies.

Qi Simei was startled by the cry of the Black Valley Girl, and hurriedly climbed out of the barrel and dragged the wooden barrel to her side and then hid back, gently patting the Black Valley Girl on the shoulder with her hand, Qi Simei said softly.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not afraid of being with the mountain girl, even if it's a sea of swords, not to mention that I'm just trapped here now and can't walk, don't worry, we'll be fine."

"Woo, Xiaomei!"

The Black Valley Girl cried even louder.

Doesn't that make her blame herself even more?

"Hum hum ......"

Just as the Black Valley Girl was crying even more sadly because of Kismei's comfort, a light melody came from nowhere.

The soft, sweet, crisp girl's voice was like a soft light of hope in the darkness of despair that made the Black Valley Girl stop crying.

“…… Someone!? ”

She and Kisme looked at each other and shouted loudly together.

"Help, come and help!"

As they cried for help, the melody suddenly vanished, and the atmosphere fell into a deathly silence once more, as if the sound they had heard before was just a hallucination.

“……”

Just when the two girls began to fall into despair again because no one responded, a scene shocked them happened.

The group of wraiths surrounding the flames suddenly retreated like a tidal wave, as if they had encountered some terrified predator, and a passage was revealed in their midst.

"Da, da, da......"

With the sound of footsteps echoing underground, a man he had never seen before slowly appeared from the passage into the sight of the Black Valley Girl and Qi Simei.

As if sensing something, Chen An stopped in front of the flames, and he looked up in the direction of the Black Valley women as if he saw them.

Half a salary, he asked.

"Excuse me, is there anyone here?"

The previous voice should have come from here, why is there no sound now?

There is also the front, although I can't see it, but I always feel that something is in front of me.

"Yes, yes!"

The way Chen An appeared shocked the Black Valley Girl, what did he do to make those resentful spirits who were not afraid of heaven and earth obediently retreat, it was so powerful!

But now is not the time to dwell on this kind of thing, and the Black Valley Girl can't wait to shout when she hears the question.

"We're trapped in flames, please help us!"

"Flames?"

Chen An was stunned for a moment, there was no hot breath in his feelings, but there was a little bit of a cold feeling.

"yes, right in front of you, don't you see?"

The Black Valley Girl was a little strange, since he stopped, wasn't it because of the thick wall of fire?

"I'm sorry, I'm blind and can't see."

Chen An explained with a smile.

"But is there really a fire? Why didn't I feel any heat at all? ”

"This fire doesn't seem to have a temperature, but it will hurt people who touch it, and it can't burn people."

Although she was surprised that Chen An was a blind man, the Black Valley girl couldn't take care of it so much at this time, and finally someone came.

If Chen An leaves, the ghost knows when he will be able to meet another person.

Maybe I'll die here.

"Oh, and that kind of thing?"

Chen An's eyebrows raised, and he stretched out his hand to reach into the flames in front of him amid the surprised gazes of the Black Valley Girl and Qi Simei.

His brow furrowed, and sure enough, it hurt a little.

However, Chen An's brows immediately relaxed.

Because this little pain is nothing to him, and it is still within the tolerable range.

So, at the exclamation of the two maidens, he raised his legs and walked into the flames in front of him.

"Is he a fool!"

It was not only them who were surprised, but Ah Lian, who was hiding on the side, couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice when he saw Chen An's actions.

This layer of flame was made by her, so she knew how painful it was to be touched by this flame, as if the pain of being pricked by countless needles made her dare not touch it at will.

And looking at Chen An's face without changing color, it seems that he doesn't feel anything at all, which is really surprising.

She whispered to her side, who was also stunned.

"Lord Jue, it doesn't seem to be a coincidence."

Jue was silent, just looking at Chen An, who was walking through the flames not far away, and the two girls had a complicated expression.

It turns out that there are really such fools in the world with such rotten good personalities.

"Okay, I'm in, may I ask you for any help? Do you want me to take you out? ”

Through the flames, Chen An came to the front of the two girls and asked with a smile.

The Black Valley woman stammered.

"You, don't you hurt?"

She touched it just now, but the tears of pain were about to come out, but the man in front of her didn't react at all except for a little sweat on his forehead, could it be that the pain just now was just his own delusion?

Her eyes rolled, and the Black Valley Girl couldn't help the curiosity in her heart and put her hand into the flames beside her.

And then...... She jumped up immediately, shook her hands and burst into tears.

"It hurts!"

It's not like she just stretched out her fingers, but she put her whole hand in, okay!

Chen An seemed to know the girl's actions and laughed a little.

What a curious girl.

Chen An smiled and said.

"Okay, don't scream, this fire only hurts when you touch it."

This was discovered when he came out of the flames.

"Huh?"

The Black Valley Girl was stunned for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, she really found that her hand didn't hurt at all, but she just reacted in her heart.

She coughed awkwardly,

"Ahem, in fact, I found out about this a long time ago, and it was just to liven up the atmosphere before."

"Really?"

Chen An smiled and didn't expose the hard-mouthed girl, but turned to the direction of Qi Simei, who had been silent, and asked.

"By the way, it's not just her and you who need help, but why don't you speak?"

"I, I, I ......"

Hearing Chen An's question, Qi Simei's face turned red, I, I, mine was shy and speechless, and in the end, I was even more embarrassed to bury my head in the barrel and didn't dare to see anyone.

Seeing this, the Black Valley woman on the side waved her hand and said.

"Xiaomei is this character, she can't say a word when she sees a stranger."

"Oh, I see, it looks like I was rude."

Chen An suddenly smiled apologetically at the shy Qi Simei and continued.

"Don't talk nonsense, since you're trapped by the fire, then I'll take you out."

"How do you get out? It's not going out, is it? I don't want it, it hurts to death! ”

The Black Valley girl was babbling, she still had lingering palpitations about the feeling just now.

"Of course not."

He had already measured the distance when he walked in, so he could teleport out when he went out, instead of walking in for fear of problems.

"May I ask if I'm sending you out or together?"

"Together!"

"One, together."

In addition to the hearty voice of the black valley girl, Chen An heard a soft girl's voice again, and it seemed that it was another shy little girl.

Chen An thought for a while and said.

"You're smaller?"

"I, I."

It seems that because she has already opened her mouth, Qi Simei raised her hand timidly this time without waiting for the Black Valley Girl to speak.

"Then I'll take you out later, okay?"

Chen An can teleport with people, but he must be held or carried on his back, and if he is just holding hands, he can't take them away.

"This ...... All right. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Kisme agreed.

Now is not the time to be shy, so it's better to get out of here early and go back to safety.

"Then come up."

Chen An nodded at the two girls, and instead of hugging Qi Simei, he squatted down.

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

The two girls were stunned, didn't they say hug? Why are you still squatting down?

"I'm holding her, so naturally I have to carry you on my back, otherwise how can I take the two of you out together?"

Chen An turned his head to face the Black Valley Girl with a natural expression.

"Hmm."

The Black Valley Girl puffed out her face and felt that since even the shy Qi Simei was willing to let Chen An hug her, then it would be no problem for her to be carried by Chen An for a while. So he stepped forward generously, lay on Chen An's back, and hugged his neck.

Chen An stood up and walked in front of Qi Simei to pick her up, but he was a little strange just after hugging her.

"Why don't you seem to be human?"

"I'm a well monster, so I've been hiding in a barrel all the time."

Kisme explained in a whisper.

Of course, it's not mainly because it's a bucket monster, it's more because it's shy.

So the Black Valley Girl, Qi Simei, and Palushi are really a perfect match to be friends!

A person with a lot of curiosity is scared to death, a person who is shy and scared to death, and a person who is jealous and scared to death!

"That's right."

Chen An felt that it was time to change his plan, it was uncomfortable to hold the barrel, and it was not easy to hold it with one hand.

"Hold on."

So after thinking about it, Chen An greeted the Black Valley woman on his back, and then held the wooden barrel with both hands and put it on his head, and then supported the Black Valley girl behind him with one hand and the wooden barrel above his head with the other.

I moved my body again, and I found that the barrel on my head was very stable, so I was relieved.

Then, without saying a word, he disappeared in place, appearing in the pile of resentful spirits outside the flames.

"Ahh Help me! ”

The Black Valley Girl only felt a flower in front of her, and then found that she had arrived in the pile of resentful spirits outside the flames, and looked at the hideous and terrifying faces of the resentful spirits around her, and suddenly let out a scream of fear.

In the barrel above her head, Qi Simei was also holding her head and shaking.

Chen An frowned.

"You're scared of them?"

It's not that he doesn't know about the resentful spirits around him, he just doesn't bother to pay attention to them, and they don't pose a threat to him anyway.

I don't know why, they don't dare to post it.

However, according to Chen An's thoughts, it should be caused by the Thousand Heart Knots and amulets that Misuzu or Reimu gave him, and he didn't notice it in the past, but since he was blind, he could feel that a force had been emanating from their bodies to the surroundings.

Heh, it can be seen that the amulet sent by Reimu is not an ordinary thing.

"Uh-huh!"

The Black Valley Girl nodded vigorously and buried her face in Chen An's white hair, not daring to look at the terrifying faces of the resentful spirits around her.

Her ability is to spread diseases, and although her personality and hand environment are also a little belligerent, she doesn't like to use her abilities, and even if she does, it's useless to these resentful spirits who are already dead.

Dead people don't get sick

So she has always been helpless against the spirits...... And especially so much.

"Then you can hide first, and I'll carry you on my back for a while."

Chen An sighed helplessly, and continued to carry the Black Valley Girl on his back and walked up in the pile of resentful spirits with the wooden barrel on his back.

By the way, the top of her head Qi Simei had already buried herself in a bucket.

After walking for another distance, Chen An felt that the resentful spirits around him should be gone, so he stopped and said.

"Alright, it's time to come out now, you can come down."

"Really?"

The Black Valley Girl didn't believe it, so easy to run out of that pile of resentful spirits?

You know, those guys are brutal.

"Of course."

Chen An didn't say much about the girl's suspicions, but patiently persuaded her.

"No, see for yourself."

Hearing this, Qi Simei in the barrel raised her little head in the barrel, only her eyes and the above part were exposed, and she carefully picked up the edge of the barrel and looked around, seeing that everything was empty and there was nothing but rocks, she suddenly cheered in surprise.

"Mountain girl, those resentful spirits are really gone!"

"Really!?"

Hearing this, the Black Valley Girl also cautiously poked her head out of Chen An's hair, and was immediately relieved to find that it was indeed as Qi Simei said.

Then he jumped off Chen An's back and patted his little chest with a big grin, rejoicing.

"Finally got out of that damn place."

"Uh-huh!"

Qi Simei also nodded excitedly.

"By the way, thank you so much just now, if it weren't for you, Xiaomei and I might have died there."

The Black Valley Woman turned her head to look at the smiling man beside her, and thought that it was because of him that the two of them were able to escape from the pile of resentful spirits, so she thanked her.

"It's nothing, it's just a gesture."

Chen An only smiled lightly at the girl's thanks and said.

"By the way, do you need me to give you a ride? If you come across those things later, I'll be able to help you too. ”

Oh, it's good to help people to the end.

"Phew! Crow's beak! ”

The Black Valley girl snorted a few times and was very dissatisfied with Chen An's words, what does it mean to meet those things again later, she is not so unlucky!

But after thinking about it, she still didn't refuse Chen An's kindness.

The main thing is that Qi Simei can't fly, and it's very troublesome for the two of them to go back like this.

"Then I'm bothering you."

"Thank you."

In addition to the Black Valley Girl, Qi Simei is also grateful.

"Heh, it's okay, then let's go, you show the way."

Chen An smiled and didn't let go, Qi Simei motioned to the Black Valley girl to lead the way, and walked up.

"Now, are you also from the old capital?"

Walking on the road, the Black Valley girl looked back at Chen An, who had been following her, with some curiosity.

This man has never been seen before.

Qi Simei also poked her head out of the barrel to look at Chen An underneath, but because the wooden barrel was blocked and she couldn't see it, she suddenly puffed out her face depressedly.

"No, somewhere else."

Chen An said as he lifted the wooden barrel on his head that began to sway because of Qi Simei's movements.

"Hey, are there any other places under the ground besides the old capital that are inhabited?"

The Black Valley woman wondered.

"Yes."

Chen An smiled and didn't explain, and added in his heart, the Earth Spirit Hall is.

Chen An didn't want to continue the conversation on this matter, so he quietly changed the topic.

"By the way, how did you get so much ...... before? Surrounded by so many things? ”

"Something? You mean the wraith. ”

After thinking about it, the Black Valley Girl understood what Chen An was talking about, and when she thought of it, she was furious, because she was so unlucky! It's so inexplicable!

Kicking away the stones under her feet with a hard face, the Black Valley woman said angrily.

"How do I know, I originally wanted to go to Palusi, but I fainted inexplicably halfway through, and when I woke up, it became like that."

"Uh-huh!"

Qi Simei also nodded vigorously.

Palushi?

Chen An was stunned when he heard Paluxi's name, but he was still silent, and casually changed the topic.

In this way, the three of them chatted all the way and unconsciously came to a place not far from the old one.

Hearing the noise in his ears, Chen An stopped.

He put down the Kisme on his head and said.

"Okay, now that I'm here, it's time for me to leave."

"Huh? Won't you go back with us? I'll invite you to drink. ”

Hearing Chen An's words, the Black Valley woman was a little anxious, not to mention that Chen An had saved them before, even the conversations along the way made her have a lot of good feelings towards Chen An, and she wanted to invite him to have a drink with herself, why did she have to leave before she got to the ground.

"The mountain girl is right, come back with us, it's very lively."

Qi Simei also reached out and grabbed Chen An's pants, chatted with Chen An all the way, and became less shy when she got acquainted, and Chen An gave her a good feeling, just like a big brother next door.

"Forget about drinking or something, I've had to go home after being out for so long."

Chen An shook his head and refused their invitation, underground, he didn't want to have anything to do with it, Paluxi was already an accident, he didn't want more.

Because they are not like Paluxi, after talking all the way, the two of them gave Chen An a very cheerful feeling, even the shy Qi Simei.

He squatted down and touched the little head of Qi Simei, who was a little depressed because of his refusal, and said with a smile.

"And you, Xiaomei. I'm glad I met you. ”

"Hmm."

Qi Simei's voice was low, still a little lost.

It's disappointing that someone who wasn't so shy about him was going to leave so soon.

"Then I'll go first, and you guys should go back early,"

Smiling, Chen An stood up and said another word to the Black Valley Girl and turned to leave.

The Black Valley Girl and Qi Simei stood in place and watched Chen An slowly disappear, and after a moment, the Black Valley Girl suddenly asked.

"By the way, Xiaomei, how do you say he lives underground as a blind man?"

"I don't know."

Qi Simei shook her head to show that she didn't know, and supported her chin with her hand, she suddenly wondered.

"By the way, Mountain Maiden, we don't seem to know his name yet."

"Ugh."

The Black Valley Girl was stunned for a moment, and she and Qi Simei began to stare wide-eyed.

Half-paid, as if realizing something, both girls hung their heads.

Woo, I was rescued and sent home, but I didn't know where the life-saving benefactor lived for so long on the road, but in the end, I didn't even know who he was, what a failure.

Soon after the two dejected girls left dejectedly, Lian Lian found here.

"I seem to see Ann."

Blinking her big eyes, Lian Lian chased after Chen An in the direction she left without hesitation.

"Hum hum ......"

Returning to the passage filled with resentful spirits, Chen An leaned back against the rock wall and listened to the minor tune and looked up, as if he saw everyone in Gensokyo through the darkness and thick rock formations.

The corners of his mouth hooked up slightly, and Chen An laughed lightly.

"I wonder how everyone is doing? Oh, I must be very happy. ”

Just like in the old days, those heartless, carefree, fools who only know silly pleasures.
