Chapter 13 Overnight
Su Yi took a sip of the half-cold tea, and then looked at Xiao Rin with interest.
In terms of face alone, although the person in front of him is elegant and beautiful, he is still a little immature. There seems to be a force in her body that is too large to be calculated, so that her body is always in the most vigorous and energetic state. But no one will face her with this is an inexperienced girl, and she has a mature temperament that can make her heart trust.
Speaking of which, Su Yi is not ignorant of this wonderful person in front of her. Although she hadn't left the Su family for a long time, it didn't mean that she didn't know anything about the outside world. Her two childhood friends never forgot her, and they would take some time out of their year to stay with her, whether they were morning or night, busy or leisurely.
Or bickering or talking and laughing, or drinking tea quietly.
Of course, they also talk about the people and things around them. Through Luo Ya and Ming Ye's simple description, Su Yi also has some understanding of Xiao Rin's deeds.
Su Yi put down the teacup, folded her hands on the table, looked at Xiao Rin with a faint smile and said, "Girl, don't you introduce yourself, this is not a polite thing." ”
"Of course. Xiao Rin responded, and then made a brief self-introduction: "I am Xiao Rin, the third disciple of Maoshan's generation, and Luo Ya's junior sister." Well, in the past few years, a Netherworld Affairs Office has been opened in Fenghua City to undertake all kinds of commissions from or about the Netherworld. ”
"What about the one next to you?" nodded, Su Yi expressed understanding, and then pointed to Ling Ning beside Xiao Rin.
Su Yi is also a little concerned about the girl next to Xiao Rin who has an extremely good appearance and beauty, and even has an excellent figure. I don't know if it's an illusion, she always feels that this girl is extraordinarily restrained in front of her, and there is a subtle feeling of competition.
Xiao Rin hesitated, thinking about Ling Ning's various bad habits, her face was a little tangled, but she still found a more suitable description: "Disciple, this guy is not qualified...... It's more appropriate to say it's a family.,It's an annoying sister.。 ”
"Hehe, you guys have a really good relationship. Su Yi covered her mouth and chuckled, her smile was also elegant. Even with their mouths covered, Xiao Rin and Ling Ning, who were sitting opposite her, could see the small black spot at the corner of Su Yi's mouth, only to feel inexplicably good-looking, inexplicably with a special attraction.
Hearing Su Yi's teasing, Xiao Rin also smiled.
She didn't answer either, but Ning beside her was a little embarrassed...... Although the first evaluation is annoying!
"Huh, can I read a book?" Ling Ning asked, pointing to the bookshelf behind him.
"Feel free. Su Yi put down the teacup dignified and made a gesture of please.
Not long after this sentence was spoken, Su Yi couldn't sit still. She suddenly panicked a little when she saw Ning pulling out a book on her bookcase and flipping through it. The books here are not printed publications from the outside world, these books are engraved by guests who come to Sujia Garden when they stay here. Every volume is a treasure, every piece is out of print, and if it is broken and destroyed, there will be no second copy.
Su Yi reminded with a distress that could not be concealed: "That ...... The books here are all one-of-a-kind, so please take care of them. ”
......
While Ling Ning was reading, Su Yi and Xiao Rin were talking.
After saying something unnutritious, Su Yi's face was a little tired, and she tapped the table with her index finger: "Okay, okay, you didn't come here just to see me, right?"
"Of course, this is also a purpose, and I am also very interested in the eldest lady of the Su family in Luo Ya's mouth. Rin nodded very dryly, and said: "You know my senior sister's temper, when she is in front of me, she is always so cold and lazy! In Maoshan Village, she never walks out of her residence except for going out to find Xiaohong and Xiaoyu, two little girls. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Rin looked at the dignified and lazy lady of the Su family in front of her, who gave people the feeling of a sleeping beauty: "But that's it, senior sister, she leaves Maoshan for a period of time every year~"
"Is Xiaoya still that cold now?"
"Well, that's the case most of the time. Of course, it wouldn't be easy to say if her two cute little apprentices messed with her...... Although she admits defeat in the end, the black face that is angry is indispensable. ”
"Really...... Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've seen Xiaoya get angry. Sighing regretfully, Su Yi didn't know what to think of. She showed a wicked smile and tempted Xiao Rin: "Girl, do you want to know what happened to Luo Ya when she was a child?"
"That...... What do you think~" After hesitating for a second, Xiao Rin replied very honestly.
Before Xiao Rin could speak, Ling Ning, who was holding a book next to them and flipping through it, suddenly became interested. Out of curiosity about Luo Ya, she even felt much less uncomfortable in the face of this eldest lady.
She decisively dropped the book, sat next to the two, and looked at Su Yi expectantly.
"Uh-huh~, Xiaoya was much cuter when she was a child than she is now. I remember once I took a moving puppet and showed it in front of her, this guy obviously wanted to die but refused to let go. I teased her that the doll was ugly, the shape was so ugly, and I pinched and hugged it and said that it was not soft enough, and as I spoke, I threw it out of the window......" Speaking of this, this eldest lady still has an unfinished aftertaste.
After a short while, she came back to her senses and continued: "After I left, I went to find Xiao Ye and asked her if she wanted to see a good show...... Of course she thought so. Hehe, I hid in the yard with Xiaoye that night...... Alas, I remember that night it was so cold, it was cold outside the house, we were blowing cold wind on the tree, not to mention how uncomfortable, but it was worth it! We waited for a long time, until the second half of the night, that guy finally couldn't help it, and secretly came to pick it up~~"
“...... You guys are so bad!" Xiao Rin and Ling Ning complained in unison.
In order to see Luoya make a fool of himself, these two guys also fought hard when they were young.
They were still children and hid in the trees outside the house on a cold day...... If Loya hadn't shown up that night, their expressions would have been wonderful the next day.
"Hehe~" Su Yi covered her mouth and chuckled, and she didn't defend herself.
"Miss, your snack. At this moment, the middle-aged woman walked in, and after putting the snacks on the table, she also sat next to Su Yi and laughed in a low voice: "Why didn't the eldest lady talk about what happened later~"
Hearing this, Su Yi's face froze, and she picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it in her mouth as if she were disguised. She lowered her head and pondered, then made a look of regret, shook her head and said, "Alas, after all, it was a child, and time has passed too long, and I have forgotten a little." ”
"What happened?"
The middle-aged woman, that is, Su Yi's aunt, covered her mouth and tried to suppress her laughter: "Later, the eldest lady jumped down from the tree and laughed at Luo Ya fiercely, and the result was ...... Haha, as a result, the eldest lady was beaten into a panda face by Xiao Luoya~"
"It's all tomorrow night's fault!" Su Yi covered her face and broke her mouth with hatred: "It's a shame that I'm kind enough to ask her to watch a good show together, this guy doesn't help me when he fights, he actually takes out snacks and just sits on the tree and watches the excitement!"
"Haha, if you don't die, you won't die, why don't you know~" Hearing this result, Ling Ning decisively mocked.
Just now, this guy was a little angry when he heard that Luo Ya was bullied when he was a child, and now he finally breathed a sigh.
"Hmph, the consequence of not helping me tomorrow night will be repaired by me and Luo Ya together!" Saying this, Su Yi snorted a little relieved.
“...... Early the next morning, when the eldest lady and Ming Ye appeared in front of everyone's eyes with panda eyes, everyone laughed miserably. I still remember after that, the eldest lady didn't eat for several days, and hid in her room and didn't come out. The aunt continued to expose Su Yi's old bottom.
"Auntie~"
"Okay, okay, I won't say it. Seeing Su Yi's resentful look, the middle-aged woman finally stopped.
"Auntie's craftsmanship is still as good as ever~" Stuffing a small and delicate osmanthus cake into her mouth, Su Yi looked at Rin who was happy to eat, and then looked at Ning who didn't move a piece: "Don't like to eat osmanthus cake? ”
"No ......"
"She just ate and she's not hungry at all. Before Ning could speak, Xiao Rin answered for her.
Although the Su family is no longer considered a demon slayer, this family has contacts with most of the demon slayers in the world. Moreover, this family is famous for the rune paper needed to make exorcism talismans, so naturally there is no shortage of means to eliminate demons. If she knew that Ling Ning was a zombie, Xiao Rin didn't dare to guarantee that she wouldn't make any choice.
"Hmm. ”
Since Ning accepted the inheritance of her senior brother before parting, although she did not practice it carefully, she also had a cursory look. Now Ling Ning has been able to control the huge corpse qi in his body very well, as long as you suck human blood in front of others or explode the huge dead qi in your body, no one can see your identity as a second-generation zombie.
Seeing that the osmanthus cake was almost eaten, Xiao Rin opened his mouth and said, "I have something to do when I come to the Su family this time, let's talk about it now." ”
"Okay, okay, I know. Except for Luo Ya, Ming Ye and Qingcao, no one came to see me, I got used to it. Drinking tea indifferently, Su Yi asked calmly, "Say, what is it for?"
"Of course, I bought rune paper, the rune paper I used to use was brought out by Luo Ya from Maoshan, and she would send me some every month. But this time, I don't know why, she didn't send it. I wrote to ask, but Maoshan replied that this guy left Maoshan half a month ago, and the letter also said that the two little girls had already made trouble asking for a master, and asked me to find my sister back quickly. ”
"Huh~" Su Yi looked at Xiao Rin suspiciously: "Left?"
"Well, I originally wanted to come here to buy some rune paper and bring Luo Ya back by the way. Rin paused, and sighed helplessly: "Now it seems that she is not with you~ I really don't know where this guy has gone." ”
Su Yi was silent for a while......
"I can't help with anything about Loya, but there's nothing wrong with the runes. Swallowing the snack, taking the napkin handed over by the aunt and wiping her mouth, Su Yi said to the aunt who took care of herself: "Auntie, go to the storage room and take a look, I remember that there were more than three hundred left." ”
"I'm sorry for you~" Although the matter of the senior sister has not been resolved here, Xiao Rin doesn't care at all.
That was originally a incidental thing for her, and it was best to find it, and it didn't hurt if she didn't find it.
"That...... Do you want us to go together?" Ling Ning asked the middle-aged woman.
"I don't need to bother you, I'll just go myself. Stopping Ning, the aunt of the eldest lady of the Su family looked at Ling Ning and Xiao Rin, and said, "My name is Xun Niang, you can call me Aunt Xun like Xiao Ya." ”
About ten minutes later, she returned. Standing behind her own young lady, she rubbed her temples with a little headache, squatted down and reminded Su Yi softly in her ear: "Miss, there is no rune paper in our storeroom. ”
"What? Isn't there no visitor lately? Besides, all the sale of rune paper needs to pass through me......" Su Yi frowned: "Auntie, I should be not mistaken, obviously there are three hundred and fifteen copies left." ”
The Su family has been engaged in exorcism, demon extermination, and exorcism since the first generation of ancestors more than a thousand years ago, and the next few generations have become one of the few exorcists at that time because of their huge spiritual power. But somehow...... In the fifth generation, the Su family, which had faintly become a major exorcist family, announced that they would quit the ranks of exorcists and start a paper maker.
Since then, they have stopped slaying demons, but have instead built a garden at the end of the Path, where all the clansmen have settled to make special runes for exorcists with whom they were previously connected.
The rune paper made by the Su family is deeply loved by exorcists because of its powerful demon-breaking effect.
Exorcists who are familiar with the Su family know that the rune paper they need is completed at the end of the month. The exorcists who have dealings with the Su family will come to the door on the first and second days of the first month of every month, and this month is already the twenty-fiveth, so no one should come to the door, even if someone comes, he should know.
"Miss, there are three people who come to us, and we never need to pass it on. They don't even need your permission to get the talisman paper from the storeroom. Aunt Xun sighed faintly: "You know......"
"Tomorrow night?"
Su Yi frowned, and asked uncertainly, "Is it this dead girl?" ”
Luo Ya will come at the beginning of this month, but this girl will not be there tomorrow night.
"No...... It's Loya. Shaking her head slightly, Xun Niang continued: "This girl came to Su Yuan when we didn't know it, just three days ago. Not only the three hundred rune papers left from last time, but even the hundred 'hundred scrolls' that we treasured were also scavenged by her. ”
'Hundred scrolls' is a rare and dangerous rune paper, a miracle that the timing of the rune paper coincides with a certain rule in the dark. On average, a hundred rolls of rune paper will produce one 'hundred rolls', and each copy has an incredible effect. The effect of the spell written on the 'Hundred Scrolls' will be raised to a surprising level, and ordinary fire-resisting spells will produce terrifying things like Samadhi True Fire, Celestial Yuan Magnetism, and even Liangyi Fireworks.
Because this kind of extreme improvement itself has the characteristics of being ungraspable, the Su family never sells it.
"I didn't say hello when I came. Sighing a little sadly, Su Yi didn't care about what Luo Ya took, but felt sad that she came and left without telling her.
She turned to Xiao Rin and the two: "You also heard, that guy rolled up all the rune papers. ”
"Is it okay for Luo Ya to take it like this?It seems that she also took away some important things...... "It's really not her fault that her hearing is too good, in Xiao Rin's thoughts, the 'hundred scrolls' that Xun Niang mentioned to them should be an important object."
"She's always been like that, I'm used to it. Taking a sip of tea, Su Yi said calmly.
"Auntie, how many days will it take to make this month's rune paper?"
"I just went and asked, it's been about two weeks. ”
Su Yi looked out the window, the sunset and the chance of bright red sunset reflected on the lake outside the window, sparkling waves.
Maybe it was because she had been reading for too long at noon, she was a little sleepy, lying on the low table with her weak body, covering her mouth with one hand and yawning. After closing her eyes a little and pretending to sleep, she squinted her eyes and whispered: "Auntie, I'm a little sleepy, let's rest for a while." If you don't get up later, you don't have to call me for dinner. ”
"Good ......" Xun Niang, who was cleaning up the tea set on the table, did not object, looking at her lazy figure, her originally gentle eyes were a little pity. After cleaning up, she took out a thin blanket from the cabinet and covered Su Yi, then beckoned to Xiao Rin and the others, and whispered in their ears: "The two little girls are really sorry, let's go first, the eldest lady is tired." ”
"Rin, this guy is lazier than you, and he's almost going to sleep after dinner. ”
When she was about to fall asleep, Su Yi opened her eyes slightly, her sleepy face was slightly full of obvious expectation, she looked at Xiao Rin and the two and whispered, "Girl, if you can, I want to ask you to stay at Su's house for a few nights." Don't look at the Su family's garden, it's quite big, in fact, there aren't many people, and many rooms are empty. ”
"As you wish. ”
