Chapter 39: Departure
The gust of wind blew, and a little bud finally appeared among the pink peach blossoms.
"This year's flowers seem to bloom a little late."
Ritsuko looked up and saw petals blowing through her hair.
She just strapped a rucksack and stood under the peach tree in the front yard.
Maybe it won't be long before she leaves here.
"Miss! Miss! What are you going to do? ”
"I went to Beijing to see the emperor."
"Why did you go to see the emperor so suddenly? Why don't you discuss it with the old body, if you have anything, just let the old body go. ”
The old woman came out of the house in a panic, and was about to approach it, but was blocked by a wall of air that had opened up in the air.
Looking up, the boy sitting on the eaves shook his head gently at her, and then quietly disappeared before Ritsuko turned around.
"I want to give this painting given to me by Prince Wen to the emperor."
"That's not something you've always been precious...... If you give it to the emperor, what should you do? ”
"Wen Gongzi once told me that he had always hoped that his articles would be appreciated, but he hit a wall again and again. But now, this person has appeared, and he is the current emperor, and most of his wishes have been fulfilled.
Besides, it was the emperor who invited Gongzi Wen and wanted to see Gongzi Wen again, but now Gongzi Wen has ...... The only thing I could find was this article, and those who appreciate it want to see it, so how can I keep this picture private because of my children's affection. ”
"But after all, this is the ...... that the boy gave you."
"Don't I still have the hairpin that Gongzi Wen gave me, and I believe that Gongzi Wen will want me to do the same." Ritsuko smiled gently at the old woman, "Grandma, I'll go out first, and I'll leave it to you at home." ”
"Miss...... Obviously, you only need a word, let the old body go......"
"Grandma, your legs and feet are not very good, just rest at home, it just so happens that I also want to go out for a walk, but I will come back in a few days, don't worry."
"How can this be relaxed......
Because of the separation, the old woman could only watch Ritsuko push open the gate of the courtyard from outside the entrance and disappear out of sight.
"Lord Oni...... Miss, please leave it to you......"
"I'll protect her." The figure of the departed man appeared on the eaves for a moment, and then disappeared.
……
"Ritsuko-sama, where are you going in such a hurry?"
Walking through the low wall, the sound of the departing sounded on the high wall.
The boy shook his feet and made a puzzled look.
Fortunately, Ritsuko stopped.
Rise.
"I'm going to Beijing to see the emperor."
"Huh? Your Majesty? I haven't seen it yet, the emperor should be a very powerful person, right? I'd like to see you too. ”
Ritsuko chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, you can see it casually if you want to." ”
"But Miss Ritsuko, aren't you also going to see the emperor?"
"I have serious business to see the emperor."
"Anyway, by the way, Miss Ritsuko will take me with you!"
"How can this be, seeing the emperor is not child's play, why are so many people going?"
"But Miss Ritsuko, you have to think about it, there are so many places on the way to the capital, it is not a snow town, if you meet a cloud ghost, they will not be as easy to talk to as me."
"That's not going to happen."
"They might eat you, suck your blood and eat up your flesh, leaving you with nothing but bones, or maybe no bones left."
Yu Lifu made a terrifying expression, but Ritsuko was still indifferent.
He was a little frustrated, it was this face that was too harmless, which would always make the low-level cloud ghosts who had not seen him feel unprestigious.
"If I don't go out at night, and only take the road where there are ghost hunters, won't I be fine?"
"Miss Ritsuko, just take me with you, I can not only protect you from becoming a meal for other cloud ghosts, but also chat with you and accompany you to relieve your boredom, how nice."
Retracting her expression, she leapt off the wall and stopped in mid-air around Ritsuko, constantly surrounding her, trying to make her smile more sincerely.
It's scary, so coquettish should work, right?
And Ritsuko was indeed a little moved by Lu Li's words, "It seems that there is some truth...... But if you want to follow me, it's not impossible, and you have to be careful not to be discovered by the ghost hunters, isn't it a little troublesome? ”
"Ritsuko-sama, are you worried about us?"
"Sort of, after all, you're also a cloud ghost, aren't you?" Ritsuko will always soften her heart at this childlike appearance.
Unconsciously I would agree to his words.
"Yes, but if you don't worry, Miss Ritsuko, ordinary ghost hunters still can't hurt me."
"Then be careful."
"Okay, it's all up to Miss Ritsuko."
One person, one word, one cloud ghost, between the spring breeze, down the mountain.
