Chapter 159: Homecoming
Night.
The moon hung in the sky, Chen Beibei was in his room, and there were those monsters.
"Where's Xiaoluo?"
Chen Beibei asked, all the monsters have arrived, only Xiaoluo Bride has not yet come, and she is about to set off.
"When I was saying goodbye to the hanged ghost, the bride said that we were all home, and the hanged ghost was the only one left in the yard, and it was relatively lonely."
The three-tailed fox replied.
Chen Beibei walked out of the room and came to the old locust tree.
The bride on the tree was talking to the hanged man: "Uncle, I'm about to leave, don't think too much about me." ”
"Let's go, let's go, who would think of you little monster."
The hanged man said lightly.
In fact, before Chen Beibei and his monsters came to this courtyard, the hanged ghost had always been alone.
Now it's just back to being alone.
It's just after the meeting, a short parting, and there's nothing to sensationalize.
"Bride Xiaoluo, come down, let's go."
Chen Beibei stretched out a hand, and the Xiaoluo bride jumped directly into Chen Beibei's palm: "Hanged ghost, happy new year, anyway, we are not here during the New Year, so let's say it in advance now." ”
"Well, Chen Beibei, you are the same."
The hanged man's body swayed slightly, as if waving goodbye.
Three-tailed fox, firefly, zashiki boy, snow girl, painted wall, and dream-eating tapir.
These monsters have all entered the courtyard in the extradimensional space, and Chen Beibei only needs to bring back the small courtyard model and then let them out.
Xiaoluo bride is not Chen Beibei's style god, because in the style god column in the system, there is no Xiao Luo bride.
Therefore, the bride is not allowed to enter the courtyard.
After all, the courtyard is a thing in the system, and it can only be entered by the system and Chen Beibei, as for the others, there is no way to enter it for the time being.
However, the small size of the bride is also a benefit.
You can carry it in your pocket or in your own backpack.
Of course, if that's the case, it's probably going to be boring.
"Big brother, I also want to be with Sister Zashiki Boy."
Xiaoluo bride saw that the other monsters had entered the courtyard, leaving it alone, so she said aggrievedly.
"Xiaoluo, you can't go to the courtyard, but you can go with me and Sister Chen, and you can also see some scenery of the human world."
Chen Beibei looked at Xiaoluo's bride and said to her.
"See the view?"
"Hmm."
"Don't you have to hide in a dark pocket, or in a backpack?"
A hint of joy appeared on the face of the bride, and her voice was a little excited.
"You don't have to hide all the time, but sometimes you need to hide."
Chen Beibei put on a princess dress for Xiaoluo's bride, completely covering the spider body on its lower body.
As long as the bride doesn't move or speak, she actually looks like a doll.
At least people would be more willing to think so.
After all, realistic dolls and monsters are obviously more reliable than the former.
"Xiaoluo, if there are people around, don't talk or move, you know? That way, you'll be able to stay outside all the time. ”
Chen Beibei looked at Xiaoluo's bride and said to it.
"Yes, big brother."
The bride replied.
"Let's go, then."
I went home this time, because I will come back in the future, so I didn't have much luggage with me.
Xiaoluo's bride was still put in Chen Beibei's pocket for the time being, after all, in Qinghe Town, there are still many people who know Chen Beibei.
And Chen Beibei's profession is also relatively mysterious, in short, it is better not to let them see Xiaoluo Bride.
Chen Beibei and Chen Yan walked out, and then locked the door.
In the distance, a woman in a white dress kept staring at Chen Beibei.
"Are you leaving?"
The woman's mouth muttered.
However, the woman did not go directly to report to the monk, after all, at this time, Chen Beibei was just going out.
The woman followed Chen Beibei and Chen Yan all the way to the train station, and finally confirmed that Chen Beibei was leaving Qinghe Town.
The woman in the night, hidden in the crowd, had some worry on her face.
"Let's go and report to the master."
The woman came to a wall, turned into a tiny white fox, and disappeared into the darkness with great speed.
……
Chen Beibei and Chen Yan had already taken the train homehome at Luoying North Station at this moment.
Xiaoluo's bride was placed in Chen Yan's arms, lying quietly, looking out the window.
At night outside the window, the dazzling neon lights flickered, more dazzling than the moon in the sky.
Even in the darkness of the night, the whole city was still brightly lit, and people were laughing, sad, missing, and noisy.
I don't know when day and night became blurred.
People can stay excited in the dark and discard the measful amount of sleep that is already scarce.
"The hosts, the lights outside are so beautiful......"
Xiaoluo bride couldn't help but whisper, with a hint of longing.
The sound is so low that it doesn't get noticed by other passengers.
"yes, it's pretty."
Chen Beibei is telling the truth, the cherry blossom city at night is indeed beautiful.
This kind of beauty can only be seen after staying away.
It's like standing on the top of the tallest building in a certain city and looking down on the night view of the whole city, and when this view is unobstructed, you can see things that you can't see on a daily basis.
Spectacular, gorgeous, or gray.
In short, it is a different feeling from weekdays, and Chen Beibei's feeling at this moment is that Luoying City is really beautiful.
The speed of the train is very fast, and the lights outside appear and disappear like shooting stars.
Chen Beibei took a little rest, and it took a long time for the train to reach Chen Beibei's hometown.
If you sit like this all the time, you will be tired.
However, the bride has always been in high spirits and is full of curiosity about everything outside.
Brightly lit city, dark night sky.
"Master, there seem to be many people in heaven ......"
"Shh......h Xiao Luo, Chen Beibei is resting, don't make noise to him. ”
Chen Yan said softly.
"Oh."
The night sky, the dark figures, and the black clouds.
The bride watched silently and did not continue to speak.
After all, those figures, it has seen them, there is nothing strange about it.
They are like that uncle under the locust tree.
……
The train arrived at noon the next day.
After a long journey of more than ten hours, Chen Beibei finally returned to his hometown.
Sanquan Village.
This is the second time I've been here this year, and the last time was when Uncle died.
"Chen Yan, you can go directly to my house."
Chen Beibei looked at Chen Yan and said to her.
Now Chen Yan's home is empty, and no one has lived in it for such a long time, and the house should be full of dust.
If Chen Yan goes back, she will be the only one in the whole house, so it will probably be more lonely.
"No, I'd better go back to my house first. I'll go to your house later. ”
Chen Yan said.
The familiar road, the people I met on the road were all familiar people, they greeted each other, and their faces were all kind smiles.
Reunited after a long absence, even if it is just a fellow villager who can't speak a few words on weekdays, there is a feeling of joy from the bottom of my heart after seeing it.
Chen Yan's home was indeed full of dust, and after pushing it away, there was a very strange feeling.
It was a very dry feeling, like walking into a strange place, without a trace of life.
The house was simply cleaned, and it was barely able to live in.
"Come out too."
Chen Beibei looked at the courtyard model on the table and said slowly.
Then, the youkai all walked out.
When the bride saw that the Zashiki boy had come out, she hurriedly ran to the front of the Zashiki boy, followed the feet of the Zashiki boy, and climbed onto her hand: "Sister Zashiki boy!" ”
"Xiao Luo, do you miss your sister?"
"Hmm!"
Xiaoluo bride still has a sense of dependence on the boy.
After all, Xiaoluo bride has no parents, and no relatives in the real sense.
Only Zashiki Boy is the closest to her, and he likes her the most.
"Master, is this your home?"
The three-tailed fox asked.
"No, this is Chen Yan's home, I'll go to my house later."
"Oh, Chen Yan's house is huge."
After Chen Yan went home, he was not in a very good mood and was always relatively low.
After all, now, home is just a dusty house for her.
"Little Master Chen, what's wrong with you?"
The Dream Eater Tapir was in a bad mood, so he asked softly.
Because the dream-eating tapir saw Chen Yan's heart when he built the dream for Chen Yan before, he can understand Chen Yan's feelings in his heart now.
"Dream tapir, I'm fine, thank you for your concern."
Chen Yan squeezed out a very fake smile and said lightly.
"Chen Yan, here, the monsters will be placed in your house. My house doesn't seem to be very convenient, and my parents will see it later. ”
"yes, yes."
Chen Yan said.
Obviously, Chen Yan is still very willing, after all, in all the time he has spent with the monsters, Chen Yan has also regarded them as family.
It just so happens that this empty house is lived in alone, and it is too deserted, and it is naturally best if there are more people.
"Chen Beibei, come with me to the back mountain."
Chen Yan said suddenly.
The back mountain is Sanquan Village, a mountain forest where the dead are buried.
Chen Yan said that he went there, Chen Beibei naturally knew why, he must have wanted to see her father.
"Well, let's go, then."
Before, Chen Beibei came to his hometown with a three-tailed fox.
But at that time it was a pretended boyfriend and girlfriend.
This time, Chen Beibei still didn't plan to let the three-tailed fox continue to pretend, so he let her stay at Chen Yan's house.
Anyway, now all the Shishen in Chen Beibei are in Chen Yan's house, and they will not be bored together.
Chen Beibei went to see Chen Jianye with Chen Yan.
Along the way, Chen Beibei and Chen Yan didn't speak, just walked silently.
Originally, I had the impression that it was a long way, but it only took a while to arrive.
"Chen Jianye, we're back."
Chen Yan said.
After that, he just stood quietly for a while, without speaking or moving.
"Chen Beibei, let's go."
It's probably what Chen Yan wants to say, and he has already said it in his heart.
Or there is nothing to say at all, just to come and see Chen Jianye.
"Hmm."
Chen Beibei replied.
On the way back, the atmosphere was a little more relaxed, not as dull as when I came.
"Chen Yan, let's go to my house for dinner now, and I can meet my parents."
"yes, okay."
The two returned to Chen Beibei's home, and Chen Beibei's parents were just ordinary people who grew crops in the countryside.
Seeing that Chen Beibei and Chen Yan were back, there was a smile on their faces: "I'm back." ”
When the family was eating, they chatted about some things about Chen Beibei and Chen Yan outside, as well as some important things in the village.
However, Chen Beibei only said that he was working outside, and did not tell the identity of the Taoist priest and the onmyoji.
After all, they will feel more at ease in this case.
As for the major events in the village, most of them are due to the death of the old man of the family.
After Chen Beibei and Chen Yan finished eating, they went to Chen Yan's house together.
After all, the monsters are still hungry at home.
Youkai don't eat and don't die, but it's still a little uncomfortable.
After all, youkai also have the feeling of hunger.
"Master, you're back."
"Well, are you used to staying here?"
"Habit, but master, we're all starving......"
Xiaoluo Bride looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.
The bride is small, and of course she eats very little.
I probably only need to feed a biscuit or something, but the bride doesn't like biscuits, bread and other things.
Her only favorite food is meat, all kinds of meat.
However, there is not much to eat, and generally when Chen Beibei and other gods are eating, it is enough to clip a piece to it.
It's a very easy little monster to feed.
Chen Yan cooked them a little noodles and put some meat and vegetables in them.
Fireflies still like vegetables as before, but they also eat noodles and rice.
As for the other youkai, they are basically not picky eaters.
Coated walls are the easiest to maintain.
If you compare a monster to a plant, it's probably a cactus.
Put it aside, don't worry about it, it can live a good life on its own.
Tu Bi sometimes eats insects flying by, and sometimes he eats rainwater falling from the sky, and the most eaten is probably the nearby soil.
The more dirt you eat, the bigger the wall that can be painted.
However, the painted wall generally exists as a very small wall, after all, in this way, it is not so conspicuous, and it can better hide itself.
After the monsters finished eating, they all began to rest.
Chen Yan asked the three-tailed fox to sleep with him, a fiery red little fox with smooth skin and a body exuding heat.
Sleeping in your arms, even in winter, you won't feel a trace of cold.
Chen Beibei returned home by himself, after all, Chen Yan is a girl, and it is still very inappropriate to stay at her house to sleep.
