Chapter 18: The Wailing of Spring

On the way back to the shrine from the hospital, Lan Xu kept smiling.

Su Sheng didn't ask her who the old man was, let alone interrupt her smile.

It didn't take long for Lan Xu to cease to be human, and she returned to her previous appearance.

But even so, Lan Xu's joy has not changed at all.

Although Su Sheng said when Lan Xu left, he wanted to chat with that person again and he could help.

However, Lan Xu smiled slightly, said something like this, and left.

I don't know why, Su Sheng felt that Lan Xu seemed to be bearing something in her stomach.

……

When Lan Xu left, Su Shang sat inside the shrine, and it was raining outside.

"In this spring rain, is Lan Xu alone? Won't it be lonely..."

Thinking of this, Su Sheng stood up, picked up the paper umbrella on the ground and walked towards the shrine.

The rain had wet Harune's gray hair, and the black kimono looked soaked.

"Sorry to leave you alone." Su Sheng propped the paper umbrella above Chunyin's head.

Chunyin raised her head and looked at Su Shang, and there was a faint mist in her gray eyes, perhaps because the rain flowed into it along the mask.

"Let's go inside the shrine."

Su Sheng smiled and stretched out her hand.

Chunyin looked at Su Sheng for a long time before shaking her head, and then looked at the rain-soaked road.

Although he couldn't see Haruin's face, he saw enjoyment in those gray eyes.

Su Shang sat next to Chunyin, although he thought that the shrine would be more comfortable and warm, but he felt that it was bizarre to leave Chunyin like this, which seemed to be too much.

"It smells good when it rains."

"Hmm."

Chunyin's voice was soft, like the sound of a drizzle.

……

The next day.

I don't know why, Su Sheng still cares about Lan Xu very much, so he thought about going to see it.

Seeing Su Shang packing up his things, Shui Yu asked, "Where is Lord Yuga going?" ”

"Well, I want to go to Lan Xu's place." Su Sheng nodded.

"Please let me accompany you, and it will be convenient for you to show you the way." Shui Yu said respectfully.

"yes, okay."

Su Shang was also thinking about how to find Lan Xu's shrine, and Shui Yu's request naturally resolved this problem.

Although the shrine of Lano is in the mountains on the outskirts.

But after all, it is a god, and if you use your divine power, you can still reach it quickly.

It was a small shrine, very dilapidated, and even the road leading to the shrine was full of weeds, and it seemed that no one had come for a long time.

Does Lan Xu live here?

Su Shang didn't see Lan Xu, but when he looked at the roof of the shrine, he saw Lan Xu's long dark blue hair.

Flying lightly to the roof of the shrine, I saw that Lan Xu was in a human posture, and the girl god closed her eyes peacefully, as if she was sleeping.

The golden snowflakes slipped through the dense foliage, gently brushed the long dark blue hair of the maiden god, caressed her beautiful cheeks, and finally, rested on her body.

Su Sheng didn't disturb the god girl's nap.

Instead, he flew lightly under the shrine and pushed open the door of the shrine.

Dust and cobwebs are probably the most common things in the shrine.

"Isn't there a messenger?"

Su Shang asked.

"I'm afraid it's because there are too few humans who believe in Lord Lan Xu, so no divine envoy is willing to follow her."

Shui Yu said calmly.

"Has Lan Xu always been alone?"

Su Shang made it to the wooden board outside the shrine and closed his eyes.

……

When Su Sheng woke up again, he saw Lan Xu standing respectfully beside him.

"I've met Uga-sama." Lan Xu saluted.

Only then did Su Shang realize that he had just fallen asleep.

"No, I was rude, I was here to see you coming, but I didn't expect to fall asleep here."

"It's my pleasure to have you here."

Lan Xu was very humble.

Su Sheng rubbed her hair and looked at the warm sun: "You are very good here." ”

Lan Xu was stunned and smiled: "Thank you for the compliment." ”

"I'm very concerned, so I want to ask, are you not afraid of consuming divine power when you become a human like this?"

Su Shang sat casually and looked at Lan Xu.

"Although it consumes divine power, I want to keep it that way." Lan Xu replied with a smile.

"Well, if you need my help, you can say it directly. By the way, remember to bring you a gift, although it is not an expensive gift and it is very simple, but I think you will like it. ”

With that, he dug into the sleeve of his kimono.

After a while, he took out a quilt and wrapped it into a peach.

"It's a very sweet peach."

Hand the peach to Lan Xu.

Lan Xu hesitated, but still stretched out his hands to pick up the peach.

Looking at the peach, the girl god smiled: "There is the temperature of Uga Lord. ”

Hearing this, Su Sheng was stunned, and then rubbed her hair: "You said this, it makes me feel very embarrassed." ”

However, a little bit of dark blue like a starlight point of light made Su Sheng a little concerned.

"You're glowing, isn't it really okay to waste divine power like this?"

Lan Xu looked at the blue light spot beside him and smiled like sadness.

"I see, Tian He, did he die?"

"Huh? Is it the old man from yesterday? Going to see him? ”

Lan Xu looked at the god in front of him who gave people a lazy feeling, but his gaze was so gentle at all times, and his sad smile changed: "Lord Uga is a very gentle god. For a long time, Tian He has been sick, in the past few years, probably because of illness, the number of times I have been here has become less and less, because I care about his illness, so I will ask other gods for help, but after all, it is a very rude request, so no god is willing to help me, I have no hope to go to your shrine, and then you agreed to me, which makes me very happy. ”

The light points are getting brighter and brighter, and there are more and more, which makes Su Sheng have a bad premonition.

"Kawada is the last believer I believed, and if he dies, I will disappear too."

Lan Xu said this with a smile.

"If you believe it, so can I! And didn't I just give you the peaches as a tribute? ”

Lan Xu's feet had turned into points of light at this time, and gradually his calves were disappearing.

"You're someone I respect, so no, Uga-sama, and that's fine."

Lan Xu looked at the peach: "I think this peach must be very sweet." ”

"Tell me what I have to do! If I use my divine powers, I must..."

"That's enough, Uga-sama, I'm sorry to let you see me like this."

Lan Xu's hands had turned into points of light, and the only remaining body parts were also turning into points of light and disappearing.

"Thank you, Aga-sama, for a long time I could only look at him, because you let him see me too, so that I could touch the human and touch him. That's already good, because I can leave with Kawada. ”

Su Sheng stretched out his hand to block the point of light, but when his fingers touched the gentle cheek of the girl god, it seemed to be too late.

……

When the green spring breeze blows through the leaves in the mountains, it is the first time Lan Xu and Kawada have met.

"You're still naughty."

"Huh? Who are you? ”

"My name is Lan Xu."

"Is it the mountain god?"

"Hmm."

"Hehe, it turns out that you really exist, I thought it was a legend. I don't come here every day to play. ”

"Yes."
