Chapter 14: Oranges and Shi Shu
In early autumn, the air gradually becomes drier, and the green grass all over the mountains is dyed red.
"Autumn has arrived."
Shi Shu muttered, picking up the freshly fallen sycamore leaves at his feet.
Very good shape, good for bookmarking.
"Huh."
Qiu Huan jumped down from the sky, and wanted to be scared, but he fell into the leaf pile, stirring up fallen leaves.
"Really." Shi Shu looked at the steamed buns lying on the leaves helplessly, and the feeling of sadness and sadness in his heart was completely gone.
"Today is a special day." There was a slight sadness in Shi Shu's tone.
"A special day? What, it's your birthday? Qiu Huan rolled twice in the fallen leaves, then stood up and shook the hair all over his body.
"The Chung Yeung Festival has arrived." Shi Shu squatted down and picked up the leaves that had not been thrown off Qiu Huan's head.
"That's it" Although he doesn't have much contact with humans, Qiu Huan also knows that the Double Ninth Festival.
Alone in a foreign land, are you missing your family?
"Xiao Shu, you're back. Wash your hands, we're going up the mountain. ”
"Okay, I'll be right here, Auntie." Shi Shu replied briskly, without any sadness before.
"I'll go too." Qiu Huan rubbed Shi Shu's calf.
"Are we going to go with steamed buns too? You'll have to do the work for us. ”
Lin Yu put a few oranges in a very small basket and hung them around Qiu Huan's neck.
"Wangwang."
"The steamed bun is very obedient, Xiao Shu, you taught him very well."
"Well, uncle, he's still very well-behaved." It's weird.
Xiaoyun put on a hat for Shi Shu, and held the things that he would use later, and just like that, Lin Yu locked the door.
Met people in the town along the way, Lin Yu greeted them very kindly, Shi Shu lowered his head, a little uncomfortable.
"Ah, this is my girl, very obedient, always diligent to help us work."
"Hello uncle."
I finally opened my mouth for the first time, and the rest was much easier.
"Xiao Shu, they are all from the town, so they can adapt to it." Xiaoyun's care is cautious.
"Well, they're fine, Auntie."
It's really good, I don't look at it in that strange light, it's all gentle people!
"That's good."
This is a novel memorial ceremony, at least Shi Shu hasn't participated in it for a long time, the last time was at his parents' funeral, and other than that, it has always been regarded as a transparent existence.
Afraid of being told by outsiders, so Shi Shu never went hungry, but it was limited to that, she was never really accepted.
Her adopters would always send her to herself on this day, locking the door while they were outside, and staying to watch the house. Shi Shu has stayed at many relatives' homes, and she is very grateful to them for taking them in, but she will always regret it in her heart.
"Xiao Shu, are you uncomfortable? Why don't you take a break and eat an orange? Xiaoyun couldn't help but worry when he saw Shi Shu with a bad face.
"Ah, it's okay aunt, it's just that I'm a little tired from climbing the mountain."
Qiu Huan must not believe it, it was exactly the same expression he saw in the tree in the morning, afraid of the lonely ghost.
"Wang~" signaled Shu peeled oranges for him to eat.
"The steamed bun knows that he brought it up himself, and it must be sweet to eat one." Before Shi Shu finished peeling an orange, he was stuffed with a peeled orange in his hand, and the white one on it was also processed cleanly.
That's Lin Yu.
"Eat, little ones. Hehe" Lin Yu took the half-peeled orange in Shi Shu's hand.
"At that time, the oranges that Shu peeled will be for me and your aunt."
"Good. Uncle..."
Qiu Huan didn't know why he wanted to speak, but a petal of orange was stuffed in his mouth, and he no longer stood, but lay down to enjoy the joy of feeding oranges.
The warm autumn sunshine and the occasional breeze make people drowsy, so let's go slower in this quiet time.
Let those who are nostalgic, greedy for this kind of moment, enjoy a little more...
"Uncle?" Shi Shu looked at Uncle Lin Yu who came over and asked.
"That's right, your aunt's throat has been a little uncomfortable in the past two days, and it just so happens that there is a wild chrysanthemum in this season, and it's just right to pick it to make tea."
I would like to add a sentence at the end.
"I'm done drinking at home."
Hearing this, Shi Shu felt a little weak and guilty, the tea at home was used up by the monster last time.
"Seriously? Let's go, then. ”
"Haha, that's not too serious, there are more people in the family this year, let's get more sun."
"Huh? Ah, yes, uncle. ”
Shi Shu always made a fool, she looked at the back of her uncle and aunt, and patted her head in annoyance.
"Let's go, Mantou."
"Really, what's so good about tea, or monkey's wine." Qiu Huan stood up a little reluctantly and shook off the non-existent dust on his body.
"Hehe, let's go." Shi Shu didn't get angry when he heard him say this.
The hillside is covered with orange-red grass, and yellow-white chrysanthemums are scattered and grow inside.
"Alright, that's it, let's get started." Xiaoyun put down the basket in his hand and squatted down to pick flowers.
"Like this, the half-open one is the best, and it won't fall off the petals for a few days."
"Okay, I got it."
"Take it." Xiaoyun handed the first wild chrysanthemum to Shi Shu.
"We're over here, don't run far."
Shi Shu nodded, picked up the basket and went to the place that looked more dense to pick.
"Delay, delay..."
"Huh?"
"Did you hear anything?" Shi Shu faintly heard.
"Voice? What a sound, I heard it wrong. Qiu Huan didn't feel the breath of the monster.
"I think I heard it wrong." At this moment, Shi Shu didn't hear any more sounds.
"Weird." Although Qiu Huan felt that there must be some monster, he didn't plan to tell Shi Shu.
"Shi Shu, drink some water, don't get the sun."
"Okay."
Probably this is the reason why he didn't want to stretch out, looking at Shi Shu, who was still there with his head down to pick flowers, Qiu Huan turned his head and got into the grass.
"Huh?" Shi Shu found that Qiu Huan was gone.
"What's wrong? Shi Shu. ”
"The steamed buns are in." Lin Yu walked over and said.
"Well, I'll look for it."
"I," Xiao Yun just wanted to be together, but was interrupted by Lin Yu.
"You go, bring the steamed buns back, we are waiting for you here."
"Okay uncle." Shi Shu, who was worried about how to find steamed buns alone, was very grateful to Lin Yu.
"Go ahead."
"You're finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Qiu Huan didn't run far, and when he saw Shi Shu coming, he licked the corner of his mouth.
"What's wrong? What you found. Shi Shu knew that the steamed bun was a monster, and it was not like an ordinary dog to run out greedily.
"It's a half-demon, although it's well disguised, but I don't know the nose of Lord Ben. Very spiritual. Qiu Huan snorted through his nose, his tone a little disdainful.
The aura around them became distorted in these undisguised words, and a strange wind mixed with stones struck this way.
"Delay, delay..."
"You cowardly monster, come out when you should come out, and hiding can't hide your breath." Qiu Huan stood up suddenly, shaking his hair and turning into a giant wolf.
"Hmph~" Qiu Huan made an animal warning sound from his throat.
"As a monster, you are actually in the company of humans, and I want to eat you."
An iron fork came from behind.
"Ha, ah~" The huge force made Shi Shu fall, and she was a little flustered.
"You guy with a hidden head and tail, hmph, give it back to you." Qiu Huan was a little angry, and his powerful demonic power knocked the strange fork back.
"Ah, you, damn it." The youkai who didn't know what it was screamed and finally planned to come out.
The whole body is black, the head is like a hump, there is no hair, holding an iron fork, and the face is hideous and terrifying.
I had never seen such a terrifying appearance, Shi Shu was frightened, he was a human being.
"Nakshatra? Wouldn't it be better to stay in your realm, wander in the world, and not be afraid of being punished? "Qiu Huan saw this legendary demigod without any respect.
"Nakshatra? Devil. "When I was relieved, I was not so scared.
"Hahaha, Shi Yan, you didn't see such cowardice before, this time I'm going to eat you."
"Then that thing of yours will be mine." The Yaksha had no consciousness of being injured at all, and was still thinking about the sweet dream of gaining strength.
"Well, it's my stuff, don't just talk about it." Qiu Huan didn't pay attention to it at all, and the originally erected tail instantly straightened.
"I'm not stupid."
"Ah~" is another scream, and it belongs to that monster.
Qiu Huan looked at the black mass that was beaten out by Shi Shu, his already hideous face was even more ugly, he wanted to laugh a little, he was mixed with demigods, couldn't he sense the powerful demonic power on that human body? What's more, Yaksha knows the delay, and although that human is unreliable, his strength is very strong.
"You, you. This is bullying youkai. ”
"Shi Shu, don't talk nonsense with him, the power of the Yaksha comes from his iron fork, seal that thing into your Hundred Things."
"Can you still seal it?"
"Of course, you can definitely do it with the same bloodline."
Shi Shu said according to Qiu Huan, and dripped blood into the Hundred Things.
"In my name, seal."
The light of the seal sucked the fork in, but the Yaksha on the ground didn't have the same dark face as before.
It was a middle-aged man, sitting there with a decadent face.
"I will pay for the sins I have committed."
The surrounding flowers and trees became more vibrant, and the body of the youkai slowly disappeared into pieces.
"It's over."
Shi Shu, who had lost most of his demonic power, sat on the ground and gasped for air.
"It's all you, what do you say to give the children freedom, they haven't come back yet"
"Okay, it's all my fault, don't be angry, see if you're not back."
Lin Yu let Xiaoyun hammer on his body, but it didn't hurt at all.
"Where have you been?"
Xiaoyun's stern lesson arrived.
"You have to be honest, I can't help you, your Aunt Xiao is too fierce." Lin Yu joked beside him, obviously helping to speak.
"Auntie, don't be angry, eat the fruit. It's all because the steamed buns are too greedy, and they have to taste the fruit when they see it. ”
"What? Wang~"
Qiu Huan's protest was ineffective.
"It's sweet."
Well... Very sweet.
[I am a departed existence, but I covet everything in this world]
[I like the sun, but I can only stay in the dark]
[That person lied to me and killed the youkai who killed innocent lives]
[Destroy, only destruction can alleviate a trace of sin]
[You saved me]
Shi Shu, a very gentle name
Thank you.
