Chapter 39: The Lonely Land

There was a bleak light rain in the sky, and the mountains in the distance became very clear in the rain, and occasionally a few small birds fluttered clumsily in the light rain, which was too far to forage for food, and it was too late to go home.

Wow~

"What are you doing, steamed buns!"

Hee~hee

Qiu Huan ignored Shi Shu's call, but continued to run around in the muddy puddle.

Chirp ~ tweet, tweet ~ tweet

Shi Shu frowned and glanced at the steamed bun fiercely, poor Qiu Huan didn't know that he had been targeted next.

"Bang~"

"You guy, you won't even let me catch a bird, you dictatorial exploiting class bastard!"

Qiu Huan, who was hit by a sugar-fried chestnut, squatted at Shi Shu's feet with a loveless face, trying to resist the "evil forces" for a year.

Chirp ~ tweet, tweet ~ tweet

The fat chirp flying low seemed to be laughing at the monster that had just been cleaned up, and Qiu Huan couldn't help but scream at the group of little things who didn't know anything.

"Wang~Wang"

These guys who bully the weak and are afraid of the hard, one day I, Lord Qiuhuan, will eat you!

Shi Shu had a headache, the guy at his feet was really happy, and he was caught by Xiaoyun to take a bath later, and see if he was still smiling.

Of course, it's impossible for us Qiu Huan to be caught, after all, it's a monster, but you can't run away with a nag.

"Let's see how Auntie cleans you up when you go back." Shi Shu still has to say it in advance, lest this guy make himself dirtier again.

"Tsk, it's always hard to study, and Shi Yan definitely can't imagine that his granddaughter is so ignorant." Qiu Huan, who is in a bad mood, has a sharp rise in the attribute of poisonous tongue.

I saw him say something, and a white light lit up on his body, and those mud and other things disappeared in an instant.

Although Shi Shu was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the divine energy spells of these monsters.

Probably that's why most of the human race are afraid of youkai, powerful and mysterious, with powers that humans don't have.

Shi Shu held an umbrella and walked on the stone arch bridge with steamed buns, the raindrops became heavier and heavier, and there was no intention of stopping.

"Wow... Save... Help~"

"Did you hear anything?" Shi Shu seemed to hear sounds other than heavy rain and river water.

But the voice ended at once, and Shi Shu wasn't sure if she heard it wrong.

"There's not even a ghost here, how can there be a sound." Qiu Huan looked up and sniffed, and then gave an affirmative answer.

It was raining heavily, and the people in the town had taken refuge in the buildings early, and if it weren't for Qiu Huan's insistence on eating skewers from the next street, they wouldn't have gone out in this weather.

There were only cars speeding past them on the way, and other than that, there were no people, let alone any sounds.

"So, did I mishear?" Shi Shu put the umbrella on his shoulder and looked around again.

"Help~ Help!"

"Someone!"

"How so!"

Shi Shu and Qiu Huan said in unison.

"No, there's no other smell here, my nose can't be out of order." Qiu Huan followed Shi Shu and ran to the side of the bridge, looking down, and the sound came from there.

On the stone bridge in the heavy rain, a small girl is holding a fleshy puppy, and both of them are looking down at the stone pillars of the arched bridge.

"Huh? What about people? ”

Shi Shu only saw that the river was a little turbulent because of the rain, rushing into the distance, and as for the owner of the cry for help, there was no shadow.

"Could it be some kind of youkai? As far as I know, there will be a kind of water ghost in this water that specializes in pulling people, as a stand-in. ”

"You're thinking too much."

Sometimes, Qiu Huan really wants to pry Shi Shu's head open to see what is inside, which is quite normal in front of others.

"There's no smell of yokai here."

"What if you smell it wrong? It will be diluted by heavy rain. ”

Qiu Huan glanced at Shi Shu when he heard this, which was the eyes of caring for mentally handicapped children.

"Gollum..."

There were a couple of abnormal bubbles there, as if something was there.

They must have something there, but they don't know if it will be harmful, but it is not Shi Shu's style to see death and not save it.

"Great, saved."

A miniature version of the villain lay on the stone under Shi Shu's umbrella and let out a long exhale, which had just scared him to death.

Qiu Huan was on the side, shaking his hair vigorously, and large droplets of water splashed around with his movements.

After shaking the water, the hair on the body dries quickly, which is the unique advantage of these youkai of them, waterproof.

"You saved me, thank you very much, this beautiful lady is a young lady, I don't know what to call you yet."

The little man stood up from the lying stone, held his hands and said earnestly.

"Hey, you guy, don't admit your mistake as a life-saver, I took you out of the water." Qiu Huan stepped forward and looked at the monster expressionlessly, and already had an answer to his identity in his heart.

"Is that so? This beautiful young lady. ”

"It's... Yes. What this monster said made Shi Shu feel weird, and when he was praised, he just smiled awkwardly.

"Is that so, so life-saver, can I do anything for you?" The villain received an affirmative answer, and immediately abandoned Shi Shu, and turned to ask Qiu Huan earnestly.

Shi Shu couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, but he was really a realistic guy.

"Well, if you want to do something for Lord Ben, then come to the Ten Altars Good Bar first, and have a good time." Qiu Huan covered his mouth and smiled.

"Well, can you owe it first?" The monster obviously didn't have what Qiu Huan said, and clenched his two little hands a little nervously.

"I don't have this, and I dare to ask Lord Ben what he needs, cut." Qiu Huan turned his head in disappointment, not planning to pay attention to the guy anymore.

"Mantou, don't be so rude."

"I'm sorry." Shi Shu looked at the monster earnestly.

"No, no, no, it's my fault, I can't even do a thank you gift for saving my life." The monster walked around the stone with his hands behind his back and some anxiously.

"Okay, if you don't, you won't have it, Lord Ben is not such a stingy person." Thinking of the chestnuts before, he also glanced at Shi Shu.

What kind of eyes are you, Shi Shu looked back not to be outdone.

Don't ask what this look means, ask, it's a snack!

"What a kind man." Sycophants keep up.

"But don't be in a hurry to say this, with your status, there shouldn't be a problem with some good wine, right?" Qiu Huan looked at the monster with suspicion.

"This, this... Of course not, it's just, this, that... No one. ”

The villain tried his best to defend himself, his little face was flushed, and tears were about to flow.

"Don't do this or that, let's be honest, Lord Ben won't eat you again."

"Mantou, do you know what he is?" Shi Shu squatted down, leaned close to Qiu Huan's ear and whispered.

"You woman, why are you so close, you don't know what kind of monster it is? Yes, you ignorant fellow. "Qiuhuan's ears are itchy and restless, and there are no mosquitoes in this season.

"You guy, just tell me what he is, steamed buns, you're getting worse and worse." Shi Shu looked at the steamed bun with familiar eyes again.

Poor steamed buns don't know that this time he will be hurt even more, and the snacks in his mouth will be gone.

"Okay, okay, whoever calls you my master, I'll reluctantly introduce it to you."

"That guy doesn't look at him so small, he's also a land god without a godhead."

"Yes, the benefactor is not wrong."

The little man also walked from the stone to the side.

"Where's the wine you offer?" Qiu Huan is still not giving up.

"Well, my lord, it's been a long time since anyone has offered a drink, but there are some spiritual currencies, do you want this?"

Qiu Huan hurriedly shook his head, he didn't need these beliefs or anything, what surprised him was that there was no wine in the land, thinking that he had robbed the wine of a certain boundary land back then, it was really impermanent.

Shi Shu planned to send the land god back to the temple, but the god looked a little embarrassed, still wet, and he hadn't paid attention to it just now.

The main reason is that the monsters are relatively powerful in Shi Shu's memory, not to mention the land god, she can't figure out how the land god here doesn't look so good.

This matter is a long story, the gods live in one place, and it is not enough to rely on the worship on the day of the New Year, which can probably provide them with food and clothing for a short time.

But these gods have a duty in the world, and they can't make ends meet by relying on those alone, and the current offerings have also decreased a lot, such as the sake that used to be there, but now it is rare to see.

The land uses its divine power here to protect the fertility of the land and other issues, but now his divine power has decreased a lot, and in his heyday, he was actually not the only land god here, but now, all of them have disappeared or left.

People are increasingly questioning these meager divine spirits, and if they can't fulfill their wishes, then the offerings are meaningless, and this vicious cycle continues to this day.

The rain was still falling, and the land sat on Shi Shu's shoulder, showing them the way home, and the destination was a land temple that seemed to be still able to live.

The little temple was a few years old, and there were a few burnt soots stuck in front of it.

"Thank you, sir."

"If I can do something for you." The monster persistently wanted to repay Shi Shu and Qiuhuan, and his eyes flashed with sincerity.

"I haven't asked you what your name is, I've been calling the land god and the land god, it's really rude."

"Then let me introduce myself first, my name is Shi Shu, and this is Qiu Huan."

"Ahh The land god has big eyes, and his face is full of surprise.

"You, hello, my name is Shocking Leaf."

"Hello."

The two outstretched hands clasped together, and the smiling faces radiated a dazzling light on this dim rainy day...

[I've been here for a long, long time, and all my companions have disappeared]

[Finally here, only myself is left]

[What a lovely creature human beings are, only I am the only one]

[I want to protect them]

Holy blood with a glimmer of light seeps into the Hundred Things.

Lord Shishu, this is the only thing I can do for you.

Thank you, sir.

Record, land shocking leaves.
