Chapter 19: Little Sister Red
As a child of the Fujiwara family, Mei Hong has felt that this is really a rare honor since she was very young, although she is actually only the most inconspicuous of her father's several children, not to mention caring for the fact that she is usually not bullied by those older brothers and sisters...... But even so, she was glorified because of the surname.
But in the end, her mother is just a concubine, she is completely a marginal figure in the Fujiwara family, not to mention the noble status of a rich lady, sometimes even having a full stomach is a problem, as for the father who has always been respected by her...... I probably forgot that I still have such a daughter.
Anyway, her birth was just an accident, and who would really want to be responsible for an accident? Especially when you don't have to worry about this consequence at all.
In this way, she was supposed to be the sister of Miss Everyone, and she was used to this kind of unappreciated day since she was very young, but the only advantage of this is that she doesn't have to learn what etiquette and flower arrangement like a young lady like a minister and night think about cumbersome things, and then after learning these, it is traded out by the family as a perfect commodity.
It seemed to be a privilege for her to play day and night, and at first such indulgence would attract the envy of her siblings, but later this envy gradually turned into disdain. Mei Hong knows very well why this is, after all, she looks like a wild monkey compared to those elegant and graceful sisters, there is no difference at all from an ugly duckling, but even so...... She didn't want to be like them......
Because Mei Hong always thinks that their appearance is just good-looking, and to put it too much, their people are not even worthy of their own clothes, and that kind of cozy look is really disgusting...... It's just that for Miss Meihong, who is often hungry, even if she wants to vomit, she can't vomit anything.
"If you don't go hungry, then it's even better......" This is probably the only regret of the dashing Miss Meihong, anyway, the sense of accomplishment in those hearts can't be eaten as a meal at all, and the feeling of being hungry is too uncomfortable......
For this reason, Meihong learned to go up the tree to pick persimmons, catch birds, roast sweet potatoes and other survival skills, but this is completely better than nothing! Especially after entering the growth period, Meihong feels that she is hungry faster, but even if she eats so much, she is still not tall at all. It's still the same little look...... Obviously he is 14 years old, and he looks like a child.
It's the same tonight, Mei Hong, who is so hungry that she can't stand it, can't help but turn out of the yard where she lives, "What if it's autumn......" At that time, the persimmon tree planted in her yard can hang the fruit, and if it is stored, it will be enough for her to eat all winter.
When she tumbled off the courtyard wall. The clogs on her feet made a crisp "click" sound when she stepped on the ground, and this usually inconspicuous sound was so loud in the quiet night that she was startled.
"Wow, it's really quiet.,And it's so dark......" In Heianjing, almost every household uses the habit of not going out after dark, the specific reason is no longer available, but everyone is still silently following this ancient custom, but for Mei Hong, one is that she is too hungry. The other has never warned her about these things since she was a child, so this is why she acted so recklessly tonight.
At this time, the night is naturally not as brightly lit as in later generations, and the dark streets are still terrifying enough for a little girl like Mei Hong, but fortunately, there are no clouds and stars tonight, which makes her feel better after all.
"Well, let's go!" It was obviously a summer night, but Mei Hong couldn't help but rub her arm with her hand, her target was those wild fruits in the nearby forest, and with those I believe that tonight will be much better...... As for the dangers that may arise in the woods...... Compared to the hungry girl, Hong thinks there is probably nothing to be afraid of.
Never underestimate a person's exuberant appetite during their formative years, and their courage when they are hungry.
Mei Hong, who wanted to fill her stomach, trotted up the street, on the one hand, there was a reason why she wanted to get food earlier, but more importantly, she really didn't want to stay in this darkness for longer. The endless darkness combined with the silent silence always creates the most instinctive fear, and it has nothing to do with guts. Now Mei Hong doesn't want to go back to her small yard that is dilapidated but familiar enough sooner. Then he wrapped his head in the quilt.
"Well, there's a voice?" In the dark, people's hearing ability will naturally be amplified, but no matter how you think about it, there will be no noise in the middle of the night, right, originally Mei Hong also thought that she heard it wrong, but as she got closer and closer, the sound became louder and louder, until it reached the point where it was completely impossible to ignore.
"Would you like to go over and have a look? Just a glance...... "The downtown in the middle of the night is abnormal no matter how you think about it, but the lights not far away still irrepressibly attract her, and it feels like a moth chasing the light...... I know I can't get close, but I still can't suppress my instinctive impulse.
Thinking like this, Mei Hong slowly approached the hustle and bustle, as long as she passed through the alley on the side, she could easily come to the street, but Mei Hong was still very cautious and took steps forward. Even if the smell of snacks from there attracted the cravings in her stomach all the time, it couldn't change her will at all......
And it was thanks to this caution that she had enough time to run back when she saw that almost all of the guys roaming the street looked weird......
“!” Mei Hong covered her mouth with her hand so that she wouldn't scream, what did she just see? Mei Hong asked herself...... Those guys with the head of a horse, the wings of a bird, or the tail of a snake are definitely not human! And in her memory...... Monsters can eat people.
The frightened girl ran around like a headless fly. The dim vision and the rush of her mood gave her no time to distinguish the way she came, just blindly running...... Probably for her now, no matter where she is, as long as she can get far enough away from there.
And it wasn't until she was almost exhausted that Mei Hong realized that she had run far enough, but at this time she found that she had unknowingly reached her original destination. But unfortunately, at this time, Meihong has long been in the mood to go to the forest to find food.
"You can see the road over the grass in front of you, so let's go home quickly...... What a terrible day! Mei Hong had never missed her room so much as she did at this moment, and she even felt that she should stay there for 3 days if she could...... No, at least a week to come out.
Thinking like this, she rushed to the grass without slowing down, after all, familiar places are always reassuring...... But at the moment when she suddenly opened up in front of her, a tall and slender figure stood in her way......
"Whose lady is this?" Just from the appearance and the clothes that were not patterned but noble enough, Mei Hong could easily judge that the woman in front of her was absolutely respected, but in the next moment, these thoughts were suddenly left behind, "Ah, I'm going to bump into it!" ”
The expected fall did not come, and the eldest lady who seemed to be weak caught her very well, which surprised Mei Hong sincerely. And when she subconsciously raised her head, the mask on the other party's face for some reason slipped off because of the previous collision......
"So beautiful...... is obviously also a woman, but Mei Hong is still incorrigibly attracted by the person in front of her, the kind of innate nobility and calmness that is not at all like the pretentiousness of her own sisters, as if the person in front of her can get the love of the world between every gesture.
If you have to describe it, then she is like the bright moon in the sky...... No matter how bright the stars are, they will be eclipsed in front of her, and even her sunny days can cause countless people's joy and melancholy...... Mei Hong has no doubt that she definitely has such ability. (To be continued.) )
