Chapter 41: Seeing the Moon
At night, Aoyagi moved a small table to the courtyard, found another vase, and put the miscanthus on the table.
Looking at the bright full moon in the sky, Aoyagi muttered to himself, "I didn't prepare anything, so I will offer this to you according to what the old man said." ”
Sitting in the corridor, the cold night breeze blew in bursts, and the moonlight was like water, illuminating the courtyard clearly and hazy.
In the wind, the pale gray spikes of miscanthus swayed, reflecting the moon in the night sky, and the moonlight seemed to turn pale.
This courtyard is very quiet, only the sound of the wind remains.
Mid-Autumn Festival, a day of family reunion. But he is in another world, and he can't even do "Thousands of Miles Together", and he can only send his thoughts across the world. When I was busy with cultivation before, I didn't have so many worries, probably "thinking about my relatives every festival" is like this, festivals will always make people get out of their busyness, and arouse people's emotions and thoughts that are usually hidden.
Although Aoyagi gradually forgot some things from his previous life because of the passage of time, his thoughts did not fade because of the passage of time. It may wash away many fragmentary memories, but it does not take away the most genuine feelings, but because of the loss of memories, it becomes more pure and intense.
After sitting for a while, Aoyagi got up and paced back and forth in the courtyard, not having any intention of exercising or studying, just wanting to be in a daze and dispel the loneliness and expectation in his heart.
In the middle of the moon, the silence is broken by the ringing of the doorbell. Aoyagi opened the door, and sure enough, it was Nishida and Amamiya.
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Aoyagi said, "Senior Nishida, Sister Muhe, you guys are here again." I'm really sorry for you. ”
"Aoyagi, I'll give you these moon dumplings." Amamiya handed the bag he was holding to Aoyagi, "We have to go, see you tomorrow." After saying that, the two left in a hurry.
I flipped the bag in my hand, and it was still a little heavy. Well, it's going to be a few days away. I don't like to eat moon dumplings very much, isn't it just glutinous rice dumplings, or no filling, at most some of them have some soybean flour on the surface.
I thought so, but Aoyagi still put the Tsukimi dumplings away properly and saved them to eat slowly later.
It's not early, and I'm not going to do anything anyway, so it's better to rest early. Aoyagi hurriedly took a shower and went to bed.
After a long absence, Aoyagi didn't enter the space tonight, and spent a quiet night without dreams.
The next morning, Aoyagi stood in front of the window and blew the wind, which was very pleasant. It's been a long time since I've spent a day so leisurely, and every day I'm either busy exercising and studying, or going to work in the store, not to mention entertainment time, and there is very little rest time.
The strings in my heart have been tightened, and it is rare to relax once, and I feel that the whole person is a lot more relaxed.
Okay, it's in such a good state, let's do it today!
Copying scrolls in the morning and working in the store at noon, it was exactly two o'clock when Aoyagi got home.
As he arrives at the door, Aoyagi sees Chisato and Twilight. Chisato is pacing back and forth in front of the door, and Twilight is talking to him.
They soon found Aoyagi as well, and Chisato complained a little: "Aoyagi, it's too slow!" I've been waiting for a while where you've been. ”
"I'm sorry, you don't know, but I work in a barbecue restaurant. There are more guests today, so it's late. ”
"Alright," Chisato had forgotten about it, and Twilight had just reminded him not to rush. Chisato took out the bag behind him and handed it to Aoyagi, "I stole too many moon dumplings yesterday, and I can't finish eating, so you can take it back and eat it." ”
Hey! Steal? What do you mean?
"What were you doing last night?!" Aoyagi was surprised, these two people still went to steal something?
"Oh, we just learned yesterday that it has been popular for children to steal tributes in the eastern part of Konoha Village in recent years, thinking that if the tribute is stolen, it is the moon god who has received the offering, and it is more likely to have a good harvest next year. We were so excited when we found out last night that we forgot to tell you and ran over. Chisato remembered last night's harvest and was very happy, but he was a little embarrassed because he forgot to inform Aoyagi.
Stuffing the bag into Aoyagi's hand, Chisato said, "Isn't this because I forgot you, these stolen tsukimi dumplings will be distributed to you, and it should be atonement." ”
Aoyagi looked at him weakly: "Didn't you just say that you can't eat too much?" ”
"That, hahaha, mainly to make amends to you." was exposed, and Chisato was a little embarrassed.
Twilight mended the knife behind her back, "Why did you just take Tsukimi dumplings if you want to make amends, didn't we steal some taro last night?" ”
"It's not because the moon is the moon, and sending the moon is more representative of the fifteenth night." Chisato struggled to justify.
"Actually, you don't like to eat, do you? Last night's taro was eaten by you as soon as it arrived, but the tsukimi dumplings didn't move. It's okay if you don't like to eat, but you steal so much. Twilight's voice was full of resentment.
Qianli was speechless, and he could only giggle.
Holding his forehead and feeling powerless, Aoyagi said to them, "Okay, okay, Twilight." This guy is like this, and you already know it. Come in first. ”
After putting away the Tsukimi dumplings, Aoyagi changed his clothes and went to the forest with them and began his daily routine.
………………
It's the moon day (Monday) again, and the heart has not yet recovered from the baptism of festivals and weekends, and the students in the class are all listless, even if they don't need to take boring theory classes today, they are still not interested.
Araki walked into the classroom and frowned when he saw that the people in the classroom were all in no energy.
"All stand up! Assemble at the drill ground! ”
Reflexively, the whole class got up, "Hey! One by one, they walked to the exercise ground in an orderly manner.
"Seeing that you don't have much energy today, let's exercise well. Run around the field in circles all morning, run with all your might! ”
Although he was very reluctant, after this time, everyone also knew that Araki was a man of his word, so he could only do it honestly. If you don't listen to him, the end will be miserable.
"Hayakawa Aoyagi, out of the ranks."
"Hey!"
Araki took Aoyagi to the side and asked, "A month has passed, is the scroll transcribed finished?" ”
"I'll be able to transcribe it tonight, and I've already roughly learned the knowledge in it."
"Okay, then we'll start again this weekend, and check your progress first."
"Okay, Mr. Araki."
"You go home." "Hey!"
…………
"Class." As soon as the exhausted students heard that they could get out of class, they seemed to regain their vitality and walked away quickly.
Disbanding the students, Araki waited until they were all run out before preparing to leave.
Da~ Sugi Mototsuki, who was standing in the tree, jumped down and walked towards Araki.
Stopping, Araki asked, "Sugimoto-sensei, what's the matter?" ”
"Mr. Araki, we need to cooperate with the next lessons. At the same time, they should be exposed to shuriken throwing next, and your practical classes should also keep up. ”
"Yes. How exactly are you going to teach them? ”
"Starting with the shuriken hand, throwing, trajectory estimation, and specifically ......"
"Good. I understand. ”
