Chapter VII: Causes
Snowflakes, two flakes, brushed between her hair.
"Ritsuko-sama? Are you talking to someone? I faintly heard another voice below. Wen Jinnian stepped on the low fence and leaned out of the wooden fence, but all he saw was Ritsuko alone against the high wall.
"Ah, it's Gongzi Wen, I'm just alone here, what Gongzi Wen heard should be the sound of falling snow." Ritsuko raised her head, and her eyes seemed to glow with soft waves towards Wen Jinnian.
"Will there be a sound when the snow falls?"
"Naturally, everything in this world has its own voice."
"That'...... I think that the sound of falling snow should be as gentle as Ritsuko's girl, right? Wen Jinnian unconsciously hooked the corners of his mouth, and made a good-looking arc.
"Young Master Wen, don't be joking." Ritsuko turned her back and held up an oil-paper umbrella, completely blocking his view.
The heart that had clearly calmed down was beating wildly again.
Obviously just a scholar, how can he be so seductive......
"Speaking of which, is the girl going down the mountain?"
"It's just to buy some rice paper."
"I don't know if Miss Ritsuko is willing to let me go with me, but on the way to the snow town a few days ago, I accidentally broke the inkstone, and I thought that after settling down the house, I would have to buy one again."
"Then let's go together, I'll wait for you here."
The old wooden door was pushed open by "Squeak", and it was still the same green clothes, stepping on the loose snow, following the footprints left by Ritsuko, and trotted to her side, his face was full of apologies, "I'm sorry, Ritsuko girl, I've kept you waiting for so long." ”
"It's okay, it's just that you ...... Gongzi Wen" Crossing Wen Jinnian's shoulder, Ritsuko's gaze fell on the bookcase behind him, "It's just a moment to go down the mountain, so why do you want to take the bookcase with you." ”
"I thought that since I had gone down the mountain, I might as well stop by to see if there was any place in the town that sold ancient books, and I could just buy some back."
"Mr. Wen really likes books. When I passed by Childe's house, I heard Childe reciting a few articles in the Book of Songs. ”
"It's just a shame to say that no matter how many books I read, I still failed many times when I took the test."
Ritsuko was silent.
Because of the oil-paper umbrella, the two people who instinctively walked side by side, but at this moment, Wen Jinnian could only walk about half a step behind her, staggering his steps.
For a long time, Wen Jinnian was almost about to think that Ritsuko was no longer willing to talk to him, when he heard her voice sound softly, "I really want to appreciate the article written by Wen Gongzi." ”
"If Ritsuko girl wants to see it, I'll bring it to you next time, but I'm afraid that my clumsy work won't get into the girl's eyes."
"How come, I guess that Wen Gongzi must have a literary talent that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve, but it is just a skill that those old-fashioned invigilators don't appreciate."
"Thank you Miss Ritsuko for comforting me, but it would be great if I could get a half-official position in the autumn examination in Snow Town next year."
"Listening to what Gongzi Wen meant, do you want to stay in the town as an official?"
"Well, in fact, before coming to Snow Country, I have been wandering in different places, and I have been to many places to solve the test, just to be able to find a place that can accommodate the next place, but unfortunately they all fell off the list, and I can only continue to drift without entanglement. Occasionally, even when he was about to give up, he heard about such a place as Snow Township, saying that the seat of this county order had been empty for ten years, as if it was a place that had been forgotten by the dynasty, and he had never been transferred here, and some people said that Snow Township was one of the few places where there had never been a cloud ghost, and he was still hesitating, until one day he suddenly remembered that he had heard his mother mention it before her death, and she grew up in that house when she was young, and she made up her mind to come to Snow Township. ”
"Wen Gongzi's mother is ......"
"She was killed by the Cloud Ghost, the damned Cloud Ghost ......" Wen Jinnian gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly behind Ritsuko's invisible back.
"I'm sorry, I mentioned your sadness Gongzi Wen."
"Don't blame the girl, it's the first thing I mentioned next." Wen Jinnian raised his head and pulled a smile towards Ritsuko who turned to look at him, but this smile looked really bitter, "I'm sorry, Ritsuko girl, I accidentally talked too much to you, probably because I smelled a smell similar to Zaixia on your body, so I talked about myself and didn't take into account the girl's feelings, and asked the girl not to care." ”
Ritsuko opened her mouth, but she still didn't speak. Only at that moment, her world seemed to have lost all sounds, and even though it was very close, she could only see what he was really saying.
She didn't want to burn down the last peach blossom in his heart.
There have been cloud ghosts in the snow town for a long time......
