Chapter 24: The Eternal Bird (2)

Kaguya-hime's daimyo spread far and wide, causing many people to think about her for tea. But since that day, she has been closed, leaving no chance for those who want to see her. As the saying goes, what you can't get is the best, and the more Kaguya is like this, the more people gather outside her house, and in the end, even the lord of a country is alarmed.

Of course, this kind of thing has returned to Kaguya of Dye Ye Xuan, and he is completely unaware of it, and I'm afraid that even if he knew, he wouldn't take any action. She now recites in her room every day, occasionally picking up a book or two, and that's it. Probably after this experience, she has more or less grown a little...... Probably.

And at this moment, there was sudden news that the famous Kaguya had returned to his main house, and the source of the news was reliable enough, which couldn't help but make everyone change their positions.

Of course, this news was naturally released by Ye Yu, no matter from what point of view, these guys who don't know what to call make him feel very angry, "If you want to soak my daughter, step on my corpse!" Ye Yu, who had worked tirelessly to arrange the magic array in the bamboo forest in order to welcome that group of guys, said viciously.

Ye Yu sent out the message itself to lure these guys over, although there were no dead people in that giant magic array, but because of the effect of illusion, people who stepped into this place would definitely face the evil in their hearts, which meant that the more ideas the more miserable the guys would be...... It's not impossible to become an idiot in the end.

Sure enough, after a week, many people retreated, and even rumors appeared that Kaguya was a youkai, but in the end, someone stayed. As for the most famous of them, the head of the current Fujiwara family, Fujiwara is not waiting......

For several weeks, I would come here every day until sunset before returning home. After so many days, people have lost a lot of weight with the naked eye, and their spirits are not as good as before. His changes were seen by his own family, and he was also distressed...... Among them, his youngest daughter Fujiwara, who is not taken seriously, is the most ......

"What kind of beauty could make my father so smitten?" She didn't know the answer to this question, but if she could, she did want to see that beauty, on the one hand, not to compare, and on the other hand, she wanted to compare herself with the dreamlike woman she had ever seen. This is a very strange psychology, but in Meihong's opinion, there is probably no one who can compare to her.

Thinking like this, Mei Hong quietly followed when she went to the bamboo forest again, but she finally separated from her father for one reason or another...... Of course, the little sister Hong naturally didn't know that this was due to the effect of the magic array. But the mere fact of getting lost in the bamboo forest was enough to make her uneasy.

Mei Hongqiang cheered up and went around in circles, obviously there were no similar traces everywhere, but no matter what, she couldn't get out of this forest, which was more terrible than simply getting lost. Because Mei Hong didn't know what she was walking into the depths of the bamboo forest. Or is it slowly returning to the main road...... I don't even have a reference to it.

Of course, the sun on the ears is naturally the most accurate reference, but the bamboo here is too tall and dense, and even the sun is obscured...... The helpless sister Hong could only whisper about her recklessness while continuing to walk.

She remembered what Kaguya had told her. Heiankyo at night is too dangerous. That way, she had to at least get back before it got dark.

"I can't find the way anywhere...... "It was almost noon, and Mei Hong, who was too tired, simply found a place to sit down. As for her question, why is it possible to estimate the time so much...... Without him, it's just that the little girl is hungry, and the time when she is hungry is always very punctual ~~

"It would be nice to bring a knife and flint...... "Touching the belly that has been completely flattened, Mei Hong thought with some regret, the products in the bamboo forest are relatively rich, at least a meal of roasted bamboo shoots or something can still be satisfied...... Even if it doesn't taste too good, it's better than being hungry.

The thirsty and hungry Mei Hong sighed slightly, but fortunately, the hardships since childhood at least gave her an optimistic spirit. The problem in front of her didn't frighten her...... For the time being.

Probably because of her fate, in fact, Mei Hong was about to walk to the door of Dye Yexuan by mistake. If she came to the door rashly, she would naturally be kicked out, but at this time, Alice, who followed Ye Yu's instructions to go out to perform a puppet show, also happened to go home, and the two ran into each other like this.

"Huh? A child from a civilian family? After a few days of performances, the most contact with Alice is all kinds of children. They may be lively or silent, but fortunately, their hearts are pure enough. will also give the purest praise and love to Alice's performance, which makes her quite happy...... So when I see a sister who is as thin as a child, I can't help but understand compassion, if I put it before, she won't care about it anyway.

Anyway, at this time, Meihong is obviously 14 years old~~ (laughs)

"Huh?" The sound made by Alice when she walked naturally alarmed Mei Hong, who was resting, and she hurriedly stood up and wanted to ask Alice for the next ...... If you're lucky, you might even be able to beg for water. It's just that she doesn't have much hope for the latter, and looking at Alice's service, she is naturally not rich or expensive, but in Mei Hong's impression, such a guy is not easy to deal with.

But just as she was looking up and down at the visitor, she happened to see the red leaf ornament embroidered on Alice's clothes...... If I'm not mistaken, she'd seen the same ornament on the big sister's body.

"Are they family?" This kind of family crest-like thing naturally aroused Meihong's association. She is no stranger to the family crest or something, and the Fujiwara family also has such a thing, but the status of the sister is not enough to wear it.

"Have you seen this?" Following Mei Hong's gaze, Alice naturally found out what she was looking at, and pointed to the ornaments on her clothes and asked Mei Hong, "Where did you see it, is it a lazy guy with black hair?" "There is no need to guess, Ye Yu's family lives in a simple place, if the girl in front of him has the opportunity to see the red leaf ornament, it must only be from the only Kaguya who likes to go out and hang out.

Alice's voice is very good, in Mei Hong's opinion, it almost belongs to the same level as Kaguya's, but in comparison, Alice's voice is colder and Kaguya's is softer, but Mei Hong doesn't agree with her words at all, and shakes her head vigorously and replies, "It's a pretty beautiful and elegant big sister with black hair, very kind and kind......"

"Then we're probably talking about the same person." Without refutation, Alice knew better than anyone how well Kaguya's girl pretended to be in front of outsiders, and all the ritual practices that she had once practiced on the moon were now used by her. "But shouldn't you be in Heiankyo? Forget it, these things are not my business...... Would you like to meet her? ”

"Is that okay?" Mei Hong didn't expect the other party to agree so easily, and she didn't even say anything about her request...... Having said that, this did not prevent Mei Hong's mood from getting better all of a sudden.

"Let's go meet her, that girl is in a bad mood these days, she should be happier when she sees you." The most gloating about Kaguya's death is Alice, but after that, the most distressed person is also her, and the two sisters usually fight and make trouble, but what is it that is bullied by outsiders?

"If you go now, you can still catch lunch when you go home, and you're probably hungry at this time." Mei Hong lowered her head embarrassedly, she finally determined that the person in front of her was definitely familiar with the big sister that day, otherwise how could she even know her previous rudeness...... Apparently Alice's concern was taken as a joke.

"Well...... Good. Mei Hong nodded slightly and agreed, and followed Alice and slowly walked towards Dye Ye Xuan. It was only then that she noticed that the small cloth bag that Alice was carrying with her contained a lot of strange-looking but rather delicate dolls, so she was a little more curious about her.

Probably feeling Mei Hong's gaze, Alice tilted her head and thought for a while, then took out one of the dolls and stuffed them into her hands...... She has been doing this kind of thing a lot these days, and almost every child who comes to see her puppet show has received such a gift.

"She's also a good person, probably she just doesn't like to talk......" thought Mei Hong, who was holding the doll. (To be continued......)
