Chapter 50: The Visitation
The second day of the snow festival was no different from the first day, and the sunlight that had just revealed in the early morning soon disappeared into the thick clouds. As soon as we walked out the door, there was a light snow in the sky, so we all put on our hats; My hat is light blue, and the style is a bit like a bell hat, but there are drooping ear guards on both sides of the ears, which looks a little dirty, but it is practical.
Shizu's hat is a white fluffy beret that is worn diagonally at the front and low at the back, and the ears are also covered in the hat. The yarn was a pink felt hat with curled edges, and white ear tips that were fluffy and soft like dandelions, as if they would float away when the wind blew them.
Halfway along the way, they bumped into Mika and Mamura, and of course their parents. The four of us got together, and Jing was still tired of being with Suizi. She hadn't spoken to me since breakfast, and seemed to be planning to follow the bet she had made last night.
This relieved me that I would not have to worry about it until she reached the ethical age of seventeen—it was still more than seven years, and I believe that a long time would wipe out all impetuous emotional impulses. If not, then it will only be said then.
Even though Jing Neng can gain knowledge and ways of thinking by reading my inner thoughts, these things still need to be precipitated over time. I think after a few years, she should have a clearer three views, and she will better understand what to do and what not to do.
All in all, I'm confident that I'm going to win this bet, and based on common sense and experience, I'm not going to lose.
"By the way, Rina's house is not far ahead, why don't we go and visit her?"
Passing by the sixth pier in the township, Meijia suddenly proposed, and Yarn seconded. Due to sleepiness and illusions, I didn't react for a while, and was cut on the head by Mika with a hand knife: "Fold, why are you like the real village!" Really, what did you two do last night with this listless look early in the morning? ”
"I didn't sleep well, sorry."
I shook my head, and there were a few fireflies flying in my eyes, and a monster that seemed to be a pterodactyl soared at a height of thousands of meters, its body was dozens of meters long, and it made a "boom" sound from time to time. And on the earth, the land is brown, the rivers are in order, there are paddy fields full of golden rice grains, huge waterwheels are turning around on the riverside, there are houses, wells, all kinds of utensils, but there is no one - this is the scene conveyed by my consciousness on the other side.
If you look closely, you can see that the villages on the earth are exactly the same as the land of gold, and every time my gaze passes over a location in reality, the things in that location will be completely reproduced in the fantasy realm—the etheric consciousness seems to be feeding back information to me, and at the same time, it seems to be diligently transforming the image formed in my mind into a part of the fantasy in my mind.
The illusion is getting bigger and bigger, mountains, rivers, houses, trees, fields, waterwheels...... The same thing emerges out of thin air from the virtual to the real, and at first it can still feel illusory, with shortcomings and inconsistencies in various places, but after a while, that illusory feeling will be compensated. As time goes by, things are becoming more and more real.
I was both amused and a little irritated by the fact that reality and fantasy were mixed up in my mind from time to time, and it was easy to tell which side was which—a porous comparison to the stereoscopic films of a millennium ago.
"If you want to apologize, you have to cheer up. I said I was going to visit Rina, and I replied? ”
Mika said as she walked up to Mamura, who was listlessly bowing her head, and cut it with the same hand knife and hit him the head: "Come back to your senses! ”
"What are you doing?"
Mamura covered his head and screamed miserably, it seems that this hit will definitely not be light. I glanced at him and saw that he had black and white dark circles on his face, like a giant panda, which looked much worse than me, and he didn't catch a mouse last night, right?
My train of thought was a little sluggish for a while, and I only thought about it in this way.
"You two, cheer me up. Wait a minute, let Rina see you like this, you will definitely be unhappy, and if you are unhappy, the cold will get worse, and then you will be sinners—sinners. Do you understand? ”
Meijia's hands are crossed on her waist, her slender eyebrows, and the corners of her eyes reveal a charm and heroism that does not match her age. Saa covered her mouth and snickered beside her, she looked at me with a smile from time to time, and when I found out, she quickly shifted - speaking of which, Saya should have known that Jing was at home yesterday, but why didn't she say anything?
I was puzzled, and when I remembered yesterday's incident, I subconsciously touched my lips, and there seemed to be a residual aftertaste of kissing on it, both gauze and quiet.
"Understood."
Mamura and I looked at each other and nodded together.
Rina's home is located at the corner of the Suqing River and the Catfish River (fictitious), where the Suqing River has a large flow of water, so there are many waterwheels used there, which are used for agricultural irrigation and mills. Although you can hear the sound of the river and the gurgling of waterwheels at any time, it does not feel noisy, but has a unique and tranquil charm.
After explaining the situation to our respective parents, we went to Rina's doorstep. Walking into the fence, Mega pulled the entrance rope hanging from the door (the white rope that hung down from the doorway connected to the bell), and the bell inside the door rang out.
Soon, Rina's mother came out and welcomed us into the house and took us to Rina's room. The room is Japanese-style, and the floor is covered with tatami mats woven of green dragon silk, about twenty stacks, which are divided into two halves by shoji doors; In the center of the half is a low table with four bulbous cushions next to it and a painting on the wall. The other half is Rina's bedroom, but it's obscured by an opaque shoji door, so you can't see the inside clearly.
We didn't go into the bedroom, we sat down at the low table. Rina's mother had just served four cups of hot tea and walked in the door to call out to Rina.
After a while, Rina walked out of the bedroom, wearing several clothes and a white mask, wrapped all over her body, almost like a large rice dumpling. Her black hair had not yet been combed, and it was disheveled, and she looked like she had just woken up.
"I'm sorry you came to visit me, but I can only dress like this. I'm really sorry. ”
Before Rina sat down, she began to apologize, her voice buzzing through the mask, and it didn't sound very weak.
"Rina, how do you feel? Looks like a lot better, right? ”
The four of us stared at her for a while, Mika let go of the cushion and pulled Rina to sit down, she squeezed on a cushion with Sa, and pouted again: "Rina, why are you like a different person after you are sick, you didn't speak so politely when you were not sick." ”
The yarn on the side patted Mika's arm, and Mamura also gave her a quiet look with her mouth, but it only made Mika show a puzzled expression.
"Mika, you're joking, I don't remember saying anything rude. I'm really sorry if I said it inadvertently. ”
"They all said don't talk like that, it feels weird for you to talk like this."
"Strange? That must be Mijia's delusion, drink a cup of tea and relax. ”
Rina sat elegantly, speaking polite words while looking at her mother out of the corner of her eye. When Rina's mother walked out of the room and closed the door, her shoulders immediately collapsed: "Mika, don't talk nonsense in front of my mother!" You idiot. ”
Now it was back to normal, but Mika became abnormal, and she became annoyed: "Stupid? You're stupid, you didn't say it, who knows. ”
"Only a fool can't understand the situation and the look in his eyes."
Since only four cups of tea were prepared, Rina unceremoniously picked up Mika's cup, took off her thick mask, revealed her rosy cheeks, and leisurely sipped the tea that belonged to Mika: "Didn't you see that Saki and Mamura were hinting at you and asking you not to speak?" ”
"That's obviously the tea that my aunt poured for me, why do you only take mine?"
"Oops! Can anyone prove that it's yours? ”
"Rina ...... You bastard! ”
"Didn't you say you weren't used to the way I just spoke? Actually, I think I'm more used to talking to you like this. ”
……
The two quarreled when they met, and Mika completely forgot her original purpose for coming. It's not the first time this kind of thing has happened, so the three of us didn't bother to persuade it, just watching the battle while drinking tea, which can be regarded as passing the time. On the whole, it is impossible for Mika to win against Rina verbally, no matter how many times it is.
In the end, the wind and rain stopped, and Meijia ended with her head bowed in frustration. At this time, Rina smiled and nodded at the three of us: "Ori, Sa, Mamura, thank you for coming to see me." Actually, I feel almost better, but I can't go out for the past two days, and my mother doesn't allow it. ”
"Rina, don't worry, there are still six days, and it's okay to wait for two or three days."
As she said comforting words, I shook my head, woke up my brain, and said something to say. But I don't have any impression of what they were.
"You know, I take care of my body, so don't worry."
Rina waved her hand, she looked at me and Mamura, and tilted her head curiously: "Fold, what's wrong with you and Mamura?" One didn't seem to have any energy at all, and the other actually fell asleep on his stomach. Are you sick too? By the way, Xin also came to see me yesterday, and he looks like you, so tired. ”
Hearing her say this, I realized that Mamura next to me had fallen asleep on the table, which showed how serious the distraction was just now. In fact, even now, my spirit is so flustered, so I have to vaguely say, "No, I just didn't sleep well last night." Mamura probably does the same. Heart...... I don't know about this, I guess I haven't slept either. ”
"Well, you might as well lie down and sleep, and I'll wake you up when it's almost noon."
Rina's proposal makes people feel excited, although I should do the practice in the morning, but with the current mental state, I am afraid that it will be easy to get hurt. So I looked at Mika and Sa, and they both nodded in agreement.
"By the way, I'm going to find two pillows."
Rina said, ran into the bedroom to find two white and soft pillows, I couldn't suppress the sleepy brain, took it and put it on an empty tatami mat, when I lay down, I was greeted by a sweet fragrance, smelling the aromatic smell, I fell asleep again.
"Yarn, how about we paint?"
"Huh? Draw? ”
"yes, I'm going to find two pens."
In my sleep, I faintly heard such a conversation, but it doesn't seem to matter, right?
……
Mamura and I woke up near noon, and when we woke up, three girls gathered around us to flip flower ropes. When she saw me wake up, Mika laughed out loud, but Rina was nothing unusual, and Sano showed a shallow smile: "Fold, good afternoon." ”
Through the feedback from the ether, I was able to easily figure out what the three girls had drawn on their faces with a pen. Shrugging my shoulders, I asked Rina to borrow the bathroom and washed away all the messy paintings on my face—turtles, pseudo-nest snakes, crabs, pentagrams, goldfish, cups, red pandas...... And so on, these are seen through the mirror in the bathroom.
Back in the room, under the threat of the three girls, I went along with them, shook Mamura awake, and hid the truth from him. After saying goodbye to Rina, we walked towards the Snow Festival venue.
Along the way, everyone we met looked at us, and they all couldn't help laughing, which made Mamura look confused, and with his face full of pictures, people couldn't help but want to laugh. Since we were four of us, even when we arrived at the venue, he didn't notice the strange look on his face.
Until I met Zaoji and Asahina Satoru and a group of five people, there was one more Inaba Liang than yesterday. Except for the early season, everyone else was holding a pile of food in their hands, but the early season was alone sullenly kicking the fine ice cubes on the ground on the side, and carrying a square box wrapped in blue square cloth, which seemed to be the box she used to bring rice balls to me that day.

PS: There will be another part......
