Chapter Twenty-Three: The Rat Woman
In this way, the two people began to look at each other, and the eyes were the windows to the soul, and the first real communication was made through the eyes.
"But what you're looking for is Tsuki." Tsubaki suddenly spoke, she already knew that whether it was a spirit woman or a wood god, their special treatment of herself was due to Tsubaki. But she's just a girl with a dead face around him, and the relationship isn't even very good.
Suddenly, the candlelight that suddenly rose all around was dull and quiet, and the starlight was very bright tonight, but it was very dim in Tsubaki's eyes.
"But he's not here, I'm not with him today, and I've disappointed you."
"Your name is Tsubaki, right, nice name and beautiful person." Instead of answering her question, she took a step forward and bent down to her face, "But I was more beautiful than you before, more than ten times more beautiful. ”
Tsubaki looked at her mouse-like face, combined with her words, and felt a little trance.
"You don't believe it? But I was truly the most beautiful in the world back then. ”
Although the rat woman was hunched and old, her chest was very straight when she said this.
"Don't think about it, little girl, my target here is you." She replied to what she had just said, and then her face became a little more serious.
"What do I have?"
"You made a pact with the spirit woman for the boy in the world! But do you believe him that way? ”
"How do you know you're peeping around?" Tsubaki frowned slightly, she was a little disgusted by this matter.
"No, no, no."
The rat woman touched the little mouse on her shoulder and whispered, "There are few things in this world that I don't know, as long as there are mice, there are my ears and eyes." ”
Tsubaki looked at her mouse-like face and had a feeling, maybe the reason why Lingpo had a cat might be part of her?
"If you're interested, come with me, I can teach you how to use your abilities, and I can help you do things you can't."
Tsubaki looked at her back and gritted her teeth a little. But the rat woman didn't look back this time, and then turned over the barren rice and there was heaven and earth inside. It wasn't until her figure disappeared into the wilderness that Tsubaki couldn't resist the impulse in her heart and jumped inward.
The whistling wind blew in my ears, and the barren road was very shallow, but there was another passage inside, and the deep and dark barren road did not know where it led, but it seemed to be like a door to another world, and it was a new story to open it.
Tsubaki wasn't too scared.
There is no conspiracy, no traps.
It's just that I don't have anything to plan for now, even if it's a soul.
The rat woman walks ahead, and the underground wasteland is dark and deep. She holds the lamp in one hand, holds a red umbrella in the other, and walks with a swaying and elegant posture, if it is a slender and graceful beauty, it is naturally beautiful in all directions, but on such a strange-looking old woman, it can only be said to be a little weird.
There were bats hanging on the walls, but they didn't move, and their dark red eyes stared at the two people who walked by.
One night later, I arrived at a hole in the ground, which was very bright around by torches, and there was an area of about ten zhang up and down, left and right, which was really not small. Directly opposite Tsubaki is carved with a large stone character for "water", while on the right side is a small attic with red lanterns hanging on it, which is very festive.
But there is a well in the very center, and this well is sealed. However, when Tsubaki approached, he seemed to smell a foul smell.
Looking around, there were all kinds of rats hidden in the corners and shadows, and Tsubaki still frowned a little.
The cat of the spirit woman and the rat of the rat woman are opposite.
The spirit woman holds the soul of the good people, and the rat woman holds the soul of the bad people.
But by nature, Tsubaki is closer to cats, even if it is shallow, because it is cuter.
"It's really a big lady's temper, but some things don't change because of your will. If you really like how cats come here, if you really believe that Lingpo and Huan will keep their agreement, otherwise you wouldn't have come to me. ”
The Rat Woman approached her and spoke slowly, like a demon's.
"But whether I like it or not, I decide."
Tsubaki turned her face away and stopped looking at her.
The rat woman snorted three times, but she just looked at the rats crawling back and forth on the ground.
"As you say, I also know;
The rat is lowly, and the rat has no foresight; It's disgusting, it's cowardly, it's suspicious, but... Will also live. She can live no matter what the circumstances, even if the human race is extinct, because only alive ...... in order to get back what belongs to you. ”
Tsubaki was subconsciously a little moved, she saw that the face of the rat woman was so magnificent at this moment.
I don't know why, she also has a feeling that perhaps, in the past, she was indeed ten times more beautiful than herself, and she fell in love with her smile and smile.
……………
Indeed, the sun lasted only one day, and the sun was never seen rising again.
Li Zehua sat at the dining table and ate breakfast, which was tea, eggs, fritters and sweet tofu brain.
Fortunately, this world only eats sweet tofu brains, in case it is salty or let it be the end of the world.
Then Li Zehua raised his head slightly and glanced at Tsubaki opposite, and he didn't know where she had been in the past two days, but she still had the energy to do morning after turning around.
Li Zehua didn't care too much, closed his eyes, finished drinking, and finally said that he was full, got up and looked out the window.
It continues to be covered in white snow, and even this time is more ferocious than any other.
The earth is in a drought, the spiritual power of the wood system is also declining rapidly, and now it is very easy to contract the plague, and everyone has an ominous premonition.
Li Zehua could even feel the gradual restraint of the "fire" in the depths of the earth, and at the same time, the surging "water" in the distance grew to a point where it could not be attached, and a black power distorted the heavens and the earth almost visible to the naked eye.
In many myths, there is a legend of the flood destroying the world.
The Christian Noah's Ark, China's Dayu to control the water, the Soviet-American mythology of Enki shipbuilding, etc., all imply the catastrophe of the flood, so is it now the turn of this different world?
In the original book, after a while, it will be the arrival of the reopening of the gate of the sea and the sky. And the deer god said that the plan will be advanced, so it's the latest time.
Li Zehua is not worried about himself, for him, he has long been ready for the future. Kunyu did his best to carry the matter of the blue sky, but if he couldn't, he didn't force it, so he hid directly in the inner heaven and earth and escaped into chaos and returned to the earth.
The only thing I am worried about is my grandmother, who really cares about herself, even if she knows that she is a time-traveler from the time she was born, she is willing to raise herself to adulthood.
I just walked away, and I felt sorry for her.
But the only thing that makes me happy is that after this world merges, everyone's power will be improved, and the corresponding lifespan will be greatly increased, and grandma is the same.
Maybe one day I'll see her again.
Li Zehua took off his coat, turned his head to look at Tsubaki, who continued to eat with his head down, and then said, "I'm leaving."
Jumping out of the window, he quickly rushed out of the wall under the power of the wind and rain and flew into the sky, turning into a kun that covered the sky with the snow wind. The huge body really covered the sky and the sun, and for a moment even the people below mistakenly thought it was dark.
Compared with the original article, Li Zehua is too different.
It's not just the size of the body, but also the color.
At first, he was indeed a red kun, but in the end, the color became deeper and heavier, and it turned into a deep purple and almost black.
Now only the tail still has the original red, and there is no change.
Many people saw this scene, but there was not much surprise.
Because the gods have already spoken specifically about this, they have no objection to it, and even have the expectation of wishing.
The people watching this scene did not include Tsubaki.
She still sat at the dining table with her head bowed and didn't say a word, but suddenly spread out her hand, poured the remaining powder in her hand into her tofu brain, and drank it all.
The taste of saltiness and saltiness can be said to be extremely poor, but Li Zehua's portion is sweet.
Until now, she really didn't believe the words of the spirit woman, and she also doubted Li Zehua's promise.
Oh no, he didn't make any promises at all, just to cope with what he had promised Lingpo.
There is one thing that makes the rat woman very much agree with her.
There are some things that must be done by yourself; At least when you regret it later...... There is also a person to vent to.
Only then did she look out the window again, but the huge fish had already gone away.
