However, it turned out that my cranky thoughts were actually meaningless. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When I got off the train with much heavier luggage than I had left, and stepped onto the platform, a hand reached out from the side and took the suitcase in my hand.

I was already aware of his existence before the train stopped, after all, my sensitivity to demonic energy is strengthening day by day, even if the other party is a demon with strong and good concealment ability, it will inevitably leave clues.

What's more, the other party didn't intend to hide at all.

"I'm back." Lichun greeted with that natural and gentle voice. He wore a large T-shirt with letters emblazoned on it, and the black sunglasses off his face were removed, revealing the delicate smile I was familiar with.

His voice was so dear to me that I found myself missing it. I've made phone calls before, but the sound through the phone receiver doesn't feel real enough.

"Hmm." I nodded. Let him take the luggage in my hand one by one.

I didn't even tell them I was coming back, and I didn't even mention the moment of the train. It's clear, though, that they know everything.

When I got off the train, someone came up to the platform to pick you up, and I was startled by the warm feeling. When I think of Chinese New Year's Eve stepping on the same platform alone in the snow, surrounded by nothing but lights and snow, this emotional contrast is really emotional.

Lichun didn't ask anything about my absence for so long, and I felt that even if I returned to the boring fast, no one would ask anything. Maybe they already knew, maybe they didn't know, but they didn't care, and I was sure of that.

He looked at me smiling as if I had never left for nearly a month.

Walking through the road that was already very familiar, I returned to a very familiar place, and suddenly found that the bar had become an ancient style building again, and then I remembered that today was the beginning of autumn.

Didn't I just come back on the day of the beginning of autumn? It seems that my mind has been really messed up lately, and I always have to think about problems.

"Hmm, Shining, is that you?"

When I stepped into the front hall, Li Qing was sitting on a chair drinking tea. Hearing me come in, she put down the blue and white tea cup and made a soft "ding" sound.

Behind her, the sturdy white dragon on the mural looked at me with gentle eyes.

Hu Liqing is dressed in ancient costumes, and her green hair is pulled into a wonderful shape that has never been seen in a picture with a white hosta. She was wearing a light yellow gauze skirt, light makeup, her long eyebrows were drawn with slightly drooping lines, and the cinnabar tear mole at the corner of her eyes looked a little melancholy and moving.

Before I could say yes, the beauty suddenly turned her face.

She picked up the teacup on the table and slammed it into my head and face.

I was startled, and instinctively dodged the teacup, but the remnants of tea in the cup inevitably splashed me.

"Shining, why did you run away for so long? Do you know how bad the food they cook?! ”

Li Qing frowned, her cheeks slightly tinged with a hint of pink, and she looked angry.

It's like an ordinary human woman getting angry.

It turns out that I miss being a boring chef. I didn't expect that I was not professional at all, but my very attentive cooking skills could be missed by her, which is really a happy thing.

At the same time, I felt a little glad - it was good that she threw the cup over in a normal way, and it would have been terrible if she had used magic or something.

Moreover, I've only been walking for a short month, and I will be considered "so long" by the demons, isn't this something to be proud of?

I threw my backpack onto a chair next to me, crouched down and picked up pieces of broken cups on the floor.

"Am I not back?" With that, I carefully threw the fragments into the trash, opened my backpack again, took out a box of halva, and handed it to Liqing.

"Souvenirs, delicious!"

The halva made in my hometown is an ancient traditional craft, which has always retained the characteristics of pure hand-made, and the taste is very special, and the price is quite expensive. Especially in this time when people don't do much production recently, it really took me a lot of effort to buy this.

I took the gifts I had prepared for everyone out of my bag in the same way.

Liqing opened the box of halva and put a piece in her mouth. She didn't speak, but the anger on her face faded. I think she should be happy with halva.

I took out a note from my bag that I had already written, and it was a menu specially designed for today's beginning of autumn solar terms.

This is the recipe that I have researched after consulting the information, and some of them seem to be quite classical, which may evoke some long-term memories of Liqing and make her feel intimate.

"Sister Liqing, you can eat something, I will immediately roll up my sleeves and go to the kitchen!"

Li Qing's gaze followed the vertical menu text all the way down, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.

"This, this...... And this! She lit the paper with her delicately trimmed rouge-colored pointed nails.

"I guess you'll like these too, okay, I'll go and prepare, and I'll find Brother Lidong to prepare the materials for me." Then, there is another barbecue that must be made, because today is the beginning of autumn, and you have to 'stick autumn fat'! ”

I thought of several ways to "stick autumn fat". Rice noodle meat? Dongpo elbow? Mao's braised pork? I've done all of this and can't seem to get them interested. After thinking about it, it seems that we haven't made our own barbecue yet, which was inspired by watching the monster hunters roast rabbits in the mountains between hunts.

The custom of "sticking autumn fat" in the beginning of autumn is not something that has been lost and unfamiliar, even in today's 24 solar terms that people have not paid attention to, it is still popular among people.

It is said that because of the hot summer, people have a bad appetite and can only eat some light porridge dishes to pass the time. If this lasts for two or three months, the weight will naturally be reduced, so on the day of the beginning of autumn, you should stand on the scale and weigh it, and if you become thinner, you must make up for it, and gradually it has become the custom of "sticking autumn fat".

But now there is no such problem, now there is air conditioning in summer, cool and comfortable, like the best spring and autumn of the four seasons. Humans have changed many things with their own hands, including weakening the way the seasons make them feel.

And, who wants to gain weight now! Today's aesthetics is ribs, even if beauty and ugliness aside, the three highs have quietly become an invisible killer of human health.

Maybe the last 100 years have been the era of the greatest changes in human beings, I don't know how Liqing will feel?

However, Li Qing didn't seem to pay attention to this kind of problem, just nodded, and couldn't see that she was angry.

"White Dragon, you fool!" I said to the god of war who didn't know whether to live or die, "A lovely woman should be used to hurt, and whatever she wants, she has to do it without saying a word until she is satisfied." At least that's what we humans are. Think about your posture in my dream, it's really stupid, you better learn from anthropology! ”

He must be good to Li Qing in his heart, although everyone said that the Protoss had no emotions at all. But if it's not affectionate, why sacrifice so silently?

"Sister Liqing, where is my gift?" I asked her.

Maybe no one had ever begged her for something again and again with such a cheeky face, so Liqing's expression looked a little surprised.

"Okay, the gift of the great heat, the gift of the beginning of autumn, the same can be missing. Give me some benefits, buy it, and I'll never run away again, and obediently stay in the kitchen every day to make food. I said with a grin.

When was it possible to talk to her so easily and casually? I don't even know myself anymore.

My smile didn't last long, because suddenly it was dark in front of me, and something was thrown at me with a head and a face.

I dodged on one side and reached out to grab it.

It is a silk cloth bag. When the silk was opened, a pair of small bronze swords were revealed, only three inches long.

"Like a child, let's play with the toys!" Li Qing pouted and said.

It did look like a child's toy, and it looked like it was taken out and thrown to me, but I knew it wasn't.

These two small swords contain a faint flow of energy, which is very ancient, very restrained, and very powerful. I don't have to look much to feel that this is something that belongs to a very old monster hunter, and it fits me very well now.

I smiled and thanked him, wrapped the silk cloth, and slipped it into my trouser pocket.

Liqing is really good to me, sure enough, it's because I still have your smell on my body, right?

But that's good, I'm happy.

Autumn is about to come in earnest, and I suddenly feel in a good mood, full of energy and hope.
