The midday sun is not strong, but the soft and weak sunlight seems to pass through the cascading barrier, blocked by an infinite mirror. Although the sunlight falling on the courtyard was still bright, in Ling Ning's eyes, there was a little less scorching feeling of the sun's rays.

After leaving the attic, the two wandered around the garden.

The Sujia Garden has dozens of attic courtyards and is located around a lake called 'Dongyue'. Every pavilion courtyard has a view, and every pavilion has a ferry port where ships dock. Xiao Rin and the two were sitting in a half-empty pavilion connected by two adjacent attics. From this distance, you can see the beautiful scenery of Dongyue Lake.

In the jagged waves, from time to time, swimming fish jump out of the water, and water birds take off and dive into the lake from time to time.

"Rin, don't you think it's strange?" Ling Ning's entire body was lying on the guardrail, and she stretched out her hands to hold a touch of sunlight.

The bright light fell on his hand, but Ling Ning did not have the slightest difference.

It's like an ordinary girl, frolicking in the midday sun.

"What's weird?"

"Doesn't Rin think the environment here is weird. Ling Ning raised his head and did something he didn't dare to do before. She looked directly at the noon sun and looked into the depths of that huge fireball: "I always feel that here, this entire Su family garden, is very similar to the environment on the waterway." ”

She sat down in her chair and pinched a bouquet of gardenias she had picked out of nowhere in her hand.

Ning unconsciously played with the petals, and the elegant fragrance of gardenia made her like it very much.

"Well, the Yuanchen spirit can no longer be found in the sunlight of this garden. Moreover, when the sun, the sun, the bright yang, and the sun and the bright sun in the three yangs of the sunshine into the path of the secluded path, the sun is replaced by the sun. At this point, the less yang is also replaced by the less yin. There are more feminine forces in sunlight than masculine forces. It's because of all of that that you feel that way. Rin explained to Ling Ning in a flat tone.

On the other side of the attic, a couple of five or six-year-old children ran over.

They chased and fought with each other, and there were boys clutching the girls' pigtails.

One of the fastest little girls hit Xiao Rin headfirst and fell to the ground.

She froze on the ground for a moment, then reached out and touched the door of her red head.

"Woo woo, woo woo woo ......"

Suddenly, the little girl burst into tears.

After crying loudly, the little ghost realized that the big sister in front of him had no intention of picking her up......

Instead, he looked at her with calm and indifferent eyes, watching her cry.

Feeling that crying was useless, the girl wiped away her tears.

She grabbed the corner of Rin's clothes and tugged at her hand: "Auntie, hug." ”

"Good boy~" Rin reached out and picked up the child.

At this time, several other boys and girls also caught up.

"Ah, it's a gardenia! this one is so beautiful!" One of the bear children saw the gardenia in Ling Ning's hand, he ran to Ling Ning's side, and decisively grabbed the corner of her clothes and crawled towards her: "Sister, give it to me, I like gardenia the most." ”

"No, it's mine. ”

"What's mine is mine. You are not allowed to rob me, these gardenias were planted by my mother, so they are all mine. ”

"Nonsense, Auntie said, when we grow up, whoever picks it will give it to whomever we grow. ”

"I don't care, it's mine anyway!"

Several imps surrounded Ling Ning, scrambling to grab her clothes and climb up.

Ning stood with an embarrassed face, she couldn't resist these children at all. Oh my God, I don't know if it's that little ghost, he actually pulled her hair! Ling Ning grabbed the child wrapped around her body one by one.

Seeing that they looked like they were about to cry, Ning could only stuff the bouquet of gardenias into a child's hand.

As for how these imps are distributed...... Hmph, she doesn't care!

"Give it to me, this aunt is for me. "A little imp ripped off the petals

"I want it too, the gardenia is mine!" a child tugged at the leaves.

"Wow, you broke my flowers!!!Wow......"

"Woo woo, it's obviously mine, Xiaoyan is stupid! These words were planted by my mother!"

Looking at the bare flower stalks, all the imps cried...

......

"Rin, what should I do, these little ghosts are crying. Aunt Xun will definitely scold me if she finds out!"

Seeing these children crying, Ling Ning looked helpless.

Speaking of this, Ning Lu was eager to leave the land of right and wrong quickly: "No, it's not right. It's not me bullying them, it's not about me!!Rin, let's go, don't get caught by Aunt Xun. ”

Xiao Rin glanced at Ling Ning with a disappointed look.

She put the little girl in her arms down and picked up a petal from the ground.

"Don't cry, keep your eyes open, I'm going to do magic for you. ”

"Look, here's the time to witness the miracle. "So you can't guess the heart of the bear child, seeing Rin's movements, all the little ghosts stopped crying, and surrounded Rin with a look of great interest.

"Auntie, what kind of magic are you going to do?"

"Auntie is amazing!"

"Better than the stupid guy over there!"

Ling Ning clenched his fists angrily: "Hey, you angry little ghosts, I will speak ill of me before I leave!"

"Stupid stupid!"

"Stop, if I get caught, you must take off your pants and spank!"

"Stupid, you can't catch it!!"

Looking at the two chasing and fighting, Xiao Rin sighed: "They are all stupid." ”

Hearing her words, the little ghosts around her all showed expressions of agreement:

"Well, that aunt is stupid, and Xiaotian is also stupid. ”

"That's it, Xiaotian is the stupidest!"

Xiao Rin pinched the petals and covered them with his other hand: "It's started." ”

"Gardenia blooms and is so lovely. Children, wave your hand to wipe away your tears. Rin's tone became slightly muffled, and she spoke in a mysterious tone. Then, the petals of the gardenia in her hand glowed blue.

The cyan glow was not dazzling, soft as a mother's hand. In a faint glow, the petals seem to absorb water vapor and nutrients from the air. It didn't take long for a crystal gardenia to appear...... This crystal flower is not a dead thing, it is full of intoxicating life from top to bottom.

It is a creature of Rin, and it can survive whether it is inserted into water, placed in the air, or implanted in the soil.

This is a wonderful plant that evolved naturally, and it is a fantastic life form that adapts to the whole environment.

And at this time, this creation of its nature is Xiao Rin.

Of course, these imps can't understand the power of the Void to create new life.

All they know is that this gardenia is so beautiful!

It's much better than the previous one!

"Wow, that's beautiful. This one must be mine, no one should rob me, I'll exchange the egg custard for lunch with you!"

"Don't want it! Egg custard doesn't taste good at all!"

"Stupid, egg custard is the best food! Don't dare to speak ill of it, I'm going to beat you!"

"Ahh

"Hmph, if you dare to say bad things about egg custard, it's useless to tell your mother!"

"It's beautiful. Ignoring the two little ghosts who were arguing, the rest of the little ones screamed in surprise around the crystal gardenias.

Rin handed the crystal gardenia in her hand to the little girl who had just bumped into her, and then the other children looked visibly disappointed. She squinted, snapped her fingers, and another crystal gardenia appeared in her hand, until all the imps were there, and the fellows cheered.

"Big sister, sister is so good. ”

"Teach me well, my sister will teach me~"

"I want to learn this magic too!"

'Well, I've changed from an aunt to an older sister. Ning, who witnessed the audience around him, complained silently, saying that Rin is really good at dealing with children. If it were her, these little imps would be able to annoy her to death...

"You little devils, you're almost ready to eat and you're running around!"

Xun Niang ran over from another corridor and taught these little ghosts a lesson.

The group of little ones was taken to dinner by a slightly older child next to her.

Shun Niang nodded to Rin and thanked her.

"Rin-chan, would you like to have lunch together?"

"Okay. ”

......

Following Xun Niang, Xiao Rin and the two came to a large restaurant.

The little ghosts who were one step ahead of them also ate here, and looking at their appearance, they were not restless when eating, they were always noisy. Compared with this restaurant of hundreds of square meters, more than ten people are a little sparse and empty.

If it weren't for the noisy noise of those little ghosts from time to time, there would really be no popularity.

"Aunt Xun, won't Miss Su come to eat together?"

"The eldest lady has been a picky eater since she was a child, and she doesn't like to eat with other people. ”

“...... You can see it. Rin whispered, not much of a reaction.

"By the way, this little girl next to you is also a picky eater, and she only drinks drinks. Xun Niang pointed to Ling Ning, who was drinking a bottle of light green drink, and kindly admonished: "Picky eating is not good for your health, so you have to eat something." Rin-chan, don't you care about her?"

"It's useless, this little ghost is also a picky eater, for her, a bottle of drink can top five bowls of rice. ”

Looking at Ning's tangled expression, Rin casually perfunctory.

Of course, whether it is true or false is up to the people present to judge for themselves.

......

After lunch, the two said goodbye to Xunniang.

In the past few days, Ling Ning also discovered one thing: that is, Xun Niang is really busy. After coaxing this group of noisy little ghosts to eat lunch, she also needs to prepare lunch for a certain eldest lady of the Su family who has grown up, but is still a picky eater like a child.

Along a quiet corridor, Ling Ning and the others walked into a deserted pavilion.

Rin sat leisurely, half-leaning against the stone pillar, squinting slightly.

Outside the gazebo is the waterway, and the breeze brings gentle water waves.

A few small red fish emerge from the surface and shine in the sunlight.

"Rin, is the Su family really a demon slaying family?"

Squinting, Rin replied casually, "As far as I know, a long time ago, the Su family used to be a very famous demon slaying family in the Yang world. But hundreds of years ago, they quit the business of slaying demons and turned to making rune paper for slayer slayers who knew each other. The reason for this is unknown. ”

“...... Rin, we also walked a lot today. Have you noticed a strange thing, that the people we see today are either old people or children? It's strange, isn't it? Shouldn't all children follow their parents? What about their parents? Why are so many children being taken care of by Aunt Xun alone?"

The two of them had already gone to many places this morning, and in Ling Ning's opinion, the Su family's garden was too strange. A very small number of the hundreds of attics here are inhabited, and most of them are cleaned by only a few paper puppets. There are also many attics that don't even have paper puppets, they are empty, and they have obviously been abandoned for a long time.

"......" Rin was silent and didn't answer.

"Rin, do you remember that corridor in the morning?" While asking, Ling Ning also looked at Xiao Rin.

There was a look of doubt on her face.

For some reason, she always felt that Xiao Rin was a little strange.

"Well, I remember. ”

"Don't you think what the old man said is very problematic?" Ning recalled what happened to him in the floating corridor. Recalling the experience of being killed countless times, even though I knew that it was an illusion, the pain and fear before death did not diminish at all.

Her face sank: "He said that the people of the Su family will not enter the corridor, but the lanterns in the corridor are bright." ”

"Maybe it's the paper puppets. ”

"Rin, do you really think so?" Rin was really weird during this time. What it was, Ling Ning couldn't say. But she clearly felt that there was always a layer of mist that made people feel weird on Xiao Rin's body, making her unable to see clearly.

"If they were paper golems, they wouldn't have brooms scattered all over the place. They are puppets placed by the Su family, and according to the predetermined procedure, when they see fallen leaves on the ground, they will definitely clean them up, instead of leaving fallen leaves and dust all over the ground. ”

As he spoke, Ling Ning stared into Xiao Rin's eyes, wanting to see something.

But Rin just watched her quietly, as usual. Ning shook his head helplessly and stood up: "Rin, let's go to the Book Pavilion." Just ask the lady, maybe she'll tell us something. ”

"Hmm. Nodding, Rin didn't object.

.........

On the shore of Dongyue Lake, the book pavilion is still the same.

Xun Niang took the freshly made lunch and put it on the low table.

She cleaned up the manuscript books scattered around the room and set them aside

On the edge of the low table, Miss Su curled up and covered herself in a soft sheet.

"Miss, it's time to get up. ”

She patted Su Yi softly, with doting in her tone.

"Aunt Xun, what time is it?" was covered in the quilt, and Su Yi's voice was also muffled.

"It's past twelve o'clock. You, you, you're really getting better and better at sleeping. ”

"It's so late. After hesitating for a while, Su Yi got out of the sheet.

On his head, the black and silky hair had become a mess.

Xun Niang handed her the combing towel and helped her comb her hair: "The eldest lady sometimes has to rest early, don't look too late." ”

"Aunt Xun, this is my job. ”

"Alas. After hearing this, Aunt Xun didn't say much. In addition to spoiling, there was a bit of bitterness in her eyes, in order not to let the lazy eldest lady find out her strange appearance, she turned around after helping the eldest lady comb her hair, and asked in a low voice: "Eldest Miss, come and have lunch, it's not delicious when it's cold." ”

"It's past twelve o'clock. ”

With a sigh, Su Yi got up from the bed and began to wash her face and brush her teeth.

"Lunch is eight-treasure porridge and your favorite mochi. There was a little more surprise in Su Yi's tone.

"Well, there are mochi!" Looking at the joy in the eyes of the eldest lady, Xun Niang felt that all her hard work was worth it, and she explained with a smile: "I didn't buy it last time, and I went early in the morning today...... It's not easy to rush back before those little ghosts wake up. ”

"Aunt Xun is so nice~"

"Alas, eat slowly, don't rush. ”

"Mochi is delicious. After washing, Su Yi first ate two mochi, and then picked up the spoon and drank porridge in small sips. She doesn't pay too much attention to table manners, but from some of her subtle movements, she unconsciously carries a bit of elegance that goes deep into the bone marrow.

For her, elegance is already an innate instinct.

It has nothing to do with etiquette.
