Chapter 31: The Shadow of the Road Idiot
Hokkaido, Japan, a high-latitude island, is approaching December, and it is here to usher in the first snow of the year, the goose-feathered university snow at noon has finally stopped, located outside a new villa in a mountain forest, Mi in a maid's costume is cleaning outside all night plus a morning of snow, she wears very little, but she doesn't feel cold at all, like the man in front of her who is shoveling snow, even the white gas in her mouth.
"Master, sister, the meal is ready, do you want to eat!" No, who was dressed in the same maid costume as Mi, called out in the room and pulled open the wooden door on one side.
They all had a Western dragon imprinted on their faces, except for the man.
"Here it is." After the man said this, he stood the shovel under the uncle who had fallen on the side, and then walked towards the house, Mi followed quickly, and trotted two steps.
"Look at what you're going to eat today." The man said.
"This is the Dandanmen that I learned yesterday with that mother-in-law Reiko under the mountain." Noh grinned and sat down at the table.
"Isn't that Chinese Sichuan food?" Recently, men have been studying the cuisines of countries around the world, such as Italian food, Chinese food, and Japanese sushi.
"Well, I don't know, hey, I'm just following along, it's not bad, it's delicious, it's just spicy." Noe said.
"Come and have a taste." The man used his chopsticks to stir the bowl with a red base, then he put a chopstick of noodles in his mouth, and then blushed, "It's really spicy," he drank some water.
Men and girls have not tasted food in the dark for thousands of years, they are not actually hungry, they don't even feel hungry, the food that eats into their stomachs will be crushed by energy, and then dissolved into the body, it will not exist, but they still like the feeling of food reaching their mouths, which is unique to man, but God does not, sometimes it is quite fun to learn about human life.
"Master, why did you clean all that snow today, how good it was for them to melt themselves." M asked.
"I'm going to have a guest today." The man said while holding the plate of dandan noodles before eating.
"Master, you need to pay attention to your image, the soup has been eaten on your face." Noh reminded.
"Really? I'll talk about it later, this bowl of noodles is really delicious. "The man even wanted to put his face on the plate.
"Who is coming, we have been here for so long, it seems that we don't have any friends." Mi thought for a moment, "Is it Uncle Takeda, the plumber, or the Aunt Maria who always flatters you, or the Murashi chef who always comes to the woods to find ingredients?" ”
"No, no, it's an old friend, and you know each other." The man said.
"We don't know anyone but our masters, and if it were a god, who would it be?" Noe asked.
"He's here and he's getting lost." "He's been out of the woods three times, and I've told him the address." ”
"Really?" Mi asked curiously.
"Go pick him up, the 'boy' who went to look for you in the dark," the man said to Mi, adding suddenly, "just looks alike." ”
"Really." Mi was a little excited, as if she wanted to see a loved one she hadn't seen for a long time, and then floated out without wearing shoes, yes, like a ghost.
"Why did he come?" Noe asked.
"Yes, I know, I may not see it for thousands of years to reminisce about the past." The man ate the rest of the rice on the plate, "Is there any, another bowl." ”
"No more!" Nuo said, "If you don't dislike it, you can eat my share." ”
"No, that's not going to work, you haven't eaten yet." The man said, "If you really don't eat it, give it to me." ”。
"Yes." Nuo was a little speechless, since he began to learn about human life, the master has even forgotten his identity.
'Shen Luyu' in the forest, no, that's 'shadow', his appearance is becoming more and more like Shen Luyu, he changes every day, until finally he will completely become Shen Luyu's appearance.
"Damn, why live in this kind of place, I've been crazy for thousands of years, and he didn't even send me a map." Shadow complained as he walked forward, half of the trees here had been cut down by him, and he had vowed to cut them all.
A person floated in from a distance, and the shadow became more vigilant, this was instinct, because Mi's strong soul power made him a little scared, but when he saw the girl floating in front of him, he was relieved a lot, he knew the person in front of him, it was the girl who was in the dark at the beginning, because Shen Luyu had seen it, so he had also seen it.
"You're here to pick me up?" Shadow stepped out from behind the tree.
"It's really you." Mi pounced directly, "I knew we would definitely meet." ”
"Hey, don't come here." Shadow didn't react, and Mi lay on Shadow's body, and then rolled on the ground.
"I'm sorry." m a little embarrassed.
"It hurts, I'm materialized, if I blur, you'll definitely pounce." Shadow rubbed her head, "Take me to your master." ”
"Uh." Mi honestly floated, and then led the way in front.
"This guy has come to this world, and he hasn't found a lively place to enjoy the fireworks in the world, but he actually ran into the forest to live in seclusion, I really don't understand." Shadow said.
"That's what the master meant!" Rice explained as he walked in front. "The master originally wanted to live in Kyoto, or Kansai, or Kanto, in short, he wanted to live in a big city, but we are gods, we will never have a change in appearance, no one will find out for five years, ten years, but twenty or forty years, those who live with us are old, and we are still like this, that will make people think that we are some kind of monster or something, there are only us 'people' in this world, there are not many of the same kind."
Although Shadow is complaining, he knows these things, in the eyes of mortals, the things that do not change, except for gods, are only dead things, "Uh, I know, is it almost there?" ”
"Right ahead." Mi said, deep in the woods, an old Japanese-style villa, or rather a courtyard, unfolded in front of him.
I don't know when, the man and no changed their kimonos, and with a smile on their faces, they left the door ajar.
“いらっしゃい!” The man and No, moving in unison, bowed to welcome the shadow in front of him.
"What?" Shadow touched his head and said, at this time he was very embarrassed, because of the reason why he had cut down the tree just now.
"Well, don't be so disdainful, at least you should return the favor." The man said.
"Boring!" Shadow said.
"Hey, come in, I'll do my landlord's friendship." The man said, and then made a 'please come in' gesture.
"Why did you choose this place, do you have to look like 'Takamagahara.'" place. Shadow asked
"It's just quieter." The man said, "No, go get some tea." ”
