Chapter 208: Vigil
So early in the morning on the day of the frost, I made a phone call to Acacia. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Brother Shining?"
When she picked up the phone, her voice sounded surprised, after all, although we had left each other's phone numbers, we hardly would call. At first she would call me a few, and then she would stop calling me after she had said those things to me one summer night.
That's why I would call her and surprise her so much.
"The persimmons are ripe," I said, "please come here and eat them." ”
"Persimmons?" She was even more surprised, she didn't expect me to call for something so insignificant, but after thinking about it, she suddenly said, "Oh, frost falling!" ”
"There is a lot of persimmon harvest this year, and if I have time, I would like to ask you to help make persimmons together."
"Now?"
"Hmm."
"Okay!" She happily agreed.
I looked up at the early morning sky, and it was even clear, and there was nothing out of the ordinary, and I couldn't help but wonder if the previous experience was just an illusion.
If the blood-colored moon will appear tonight, then I can't seem to do much in the face of that mighty force of nature except to fight hard. If that happens, then boredom should be the safest place in the city. I hope that if those do appear, the acacia can stay here, and maybe it will keep her safe.
That's why I called her early in the morning to "eat the pestle".
In this once unfamiliar city, when my eyes saw the form of a demon that humans could not perceive passing through the sky, I sometimes suddenly remembered her, and I would be a little worried, whether she was still safe in this corner of the city.
I don't want any bad luck to befall her. After all, she is such a pure and beautiful girl.
And it is a presence that I can call a "friend" in this city.
"There's a talk against weapons of mass destruction today, oh, I wanted to volunteer!" Bai Hehuan said with a smile as he entered the door.
"Ah, sorry, I don't know." Although I apologized verbally, I didn't apologize in my heart.
"It's okay Brother Shining, eating pestles is also a very important thing for frost to fall! I'm very happy, I'm grateful, and I'm also eager to eat this side of the koshi, it must be sweet. ”
Although it sounded polite, she said it sincerely, and, as you could tell, was genuinely happy from the bottom of her heart.
"I also find it strange why there is a speech on this topic today. However, I heard that in ancient times a long time ago, the army did have a grand ceremony to collect troops on the day of frostfall. When winter comes, even the army, which is used as a weapon of killing, will be hidden in the snow. Hehuan said.
"No wonder." It dawned on me.
Although the so-called spring grows and summer grows, and autumn harvest and winter storage, although it describes the general law of agricultural planting, many other things naturally follow such developments and changes.
Collecting troops in winter and recuperating is to better show their edge in the coming year. However, it is also a good time to reflect, and it is precisely because we have begun to re-examine these centuries-old traditions that we should think of holding a lecture like this today.
I hope that these people who care about the fate of mankind will be able to go smoothly and be safe on this day.
Whatever happens, I'll do my best.
The only thing that can be done at this moment is to pray and call the acacias, dispose of the extra pestles that cannot be eaten, and hang them in the yard one by one, waiting for them to dry.
Because, judging from past experience, the moment when something abnormal will occur, usually always occurs at night, when the yang energy dissipates and the yin energy rises.
Hehuan is a very clever girl, and must have realized that I could not have invited her just to eat two cakes, and to make cakes. Because of this, she spent the whole day in our bar and didn't ask to leave.
It was a light-hearted feeling, and I didn't need to rack my brains to make up some reason to coax her. She just did as I wanted to do so very cooperatively, without any effort on my part.
Because the atmosphere is relaxed, the passage of time becomes imperceptible, and in the blink of an eye, the sky is dark.
The surrounding area is silent, and the city is always very dark at night, and there are few people.
I said to Hehuan: "The bar is closed tonight, we may go out to do some errands in a while, and the bar will be left unattended, I want you to help us take a look at the house, is it okay?" ”
Hehuan nodded, but a very obvious doubt flashed in his eyes.
"You just stay inside, and if anything out of the ordinary, call me. However, there is no need to be afraid, it is usually safe here, nothing will happen, please come, just in case. There are rooms where you can rest, so if you are tired, you can go and rest. I admonished.
The doubts in Hehuan's eyes were even stronger, but she still didn't ask anything.
I took her and walked through the backyard, showed her the guest room where she could rest temporarily, and took her back to the bar she was most familiar with.
The closed bar was empty. This kind of glittering interior will make the atmosphere look a little weird when no one is around.
I turned on the TV with the remote control.
"You watch TV here for a while, and besides, there's a bookshelf over there, and there are a lot of interesting books." I designed some means for her to pass the time, mainly so that she could stay here obediently and not run around.
If something happens for a while, at least the area around this bar is protected by an enchantment under the Ridong cloth. The area around the bar has escaped countless major catastrophes, since a long time ago - this is what I learned recently.
After all, when Liqing and the others started living on this street, not to mention me, even my father and my grandfather were not born yet.
"Brother Shining, don't worry, I won't go anywhere. Go get busy, I'll call you on your phone if there's anything. Bai Hehuan said very understandingly.
I looked at her in amazement, not because she was understanding, but because I had noticed something very strange by the not-so-bright lights in the bar.
There are two monsters on Bai Hehua's body, which I have known for a long time.
One, which I had from the first time I saw her, was attached to her neck and looked like a beautiful silver rose tattoo called the "Gift of Emblems", which fed on truth and goodness. Perhaps it is precisely because of its existence that I have a natural liking and trust for Hehuan, because this kind of strangeness can only be attached to people who are innocent and kind-hearted.
The second one was generated later, although it was extremely rare for the same person to have two monsters living in symbiosis. The second is the swallow of Xi Sang, who feeds on his crush, which is a tragic type of monster. This monster must have grown because of me, which made me feel very guilty all the time. It is still alive and well, and it is not dead, which shows that Hehuan's heart is still haunted by my existence.
But now is not the time to care about that. Take a closer look, do the two monsters on her body seem a little strange at the moment?
