Prologue (M) Something you have?!
Hiiragi and Nagi ate the delicious dumplings made by the grandmother of the two children before choosing to leave.
After all, it's not good to disturb them, so I didn't stay in that place all the time to trouble each other.
There were only forty-eight hours in total, so the two of them would be a bit of a race against time to act.
After waiting for about thirty minutes at the stop by the sea, the two of them saw the last bus that came into view.
But what if you don't have money......
That's a big deal!
"Hey! Come on, look embarrassed. ”
The driver spoke at this time.
The driver's uncle used his right hand to signal Hiiragi to get into the car quickly.
"I don't have time to explain! Get in the car! ”
"Huh? Yes, yes! ”
Carry Xiao Nagi into the car first, and then put the wheelchair away and put it on the side of the bus door, Hiiragi can be considered to have completely completed the task.
Sitting on the bus moving smoothly, Hiiragi also heard the voice from the neighboring seat Nagi, which was a question.
"Xiaoya, do you want to go and see your parents first? Or would you like to visit my parents first? After all, the two families don't live very closely. ”
"I don't know very much, because I don't have money, so of course it's the best choice to go back and live...... But in any case, it is impossible to get too close to them, and we are now 'missing persons'. ”
"That's true, if you want to spend tomorrow, the egg cookies that the old grandmother gave you should be enough."
Xiao Nai raised her right hand, holding the sweet cake made by the old grandmother before, saying that it was a thank you gift.
In fact, it is enough for two people to eat one meal of other people's dumplings for nothing. I didn't expect the other party to be so enthusiastic.
In other words. The old granny. It's really grateful to the two of them who sent her grandson and granddaughter back safely, and I'm definitely quite grateful to Hiiragi and Xiao Nagi.
Whether it is family, friendship, or love, it will make people lose their way, but it will also give people strength and make people great.
"Maybe you'll think I'm a little ruthless, but I think it's enough to look at my parents from a distance, and I'm different from Xiao. It's not a 'missing person', it's a 'dead person'. ”
According to the law, [if the whereabouts are unknown for four years] or "due to an accident, two years have elapsed from the date of the accident", death can be declared.
Hiiragi has been in the infinite world for almost a year......
It's just that Xiao Nai is different, and since that time, she has been in the infinite world.
"Xiaoya, do you know, if a person has been in a certain environment for too long, he will not miss the previous environment."
"But that's talking about animals, even though humans are animals......"
Hiiragi also looks at the regressing scenery with Xiao Nagi, and the scenery that catches her eyes is full of green things.
"So, just look at it from a distance. They may have grown accustomed to life without us. ”
"I also know that people are like that. It's going to change, it's going to be adapting to new circumstances, and the Lord God is sending us back to the real world, and it's probably not about letting us see our families or anything like that......"
"That Mr. Lord God is very disgusting, and the reunion of relatives or something is not the development it expects."
"To be honest, if you want me to meet my parents, it doesn't feel real."
Such a relationship will be suddenly broken after dozens of hours, it is better not to be seen in the first place.
The current two are only temporarily returning to the real world, and they will go back soon, and there is no need to increase psychological pressure.
Hiiragi also knows that parents or other relatives will feel pain, but now that they are in front of them, it is not a good choice.
So, what is the purpose of the Lord God?
"Didn't Mr. Lord God say that? We're testers, so we definitely want to see something different from what is going on. ”
"Then I don't want to satisfy that bastard Lord God."
If you are an ordinary person, you will probably choose to meet your parents and ask the police for help.
But if things could be solved so easily, Xiao Nagi wouldn't be here.
The bus stopped, and the red light became an obstacle to the 'trip', giving the illusion that it was also stagnant.
"Let's not mention whether we want to satisfy Mr. Lord God's interest, but we first need to find a place to stay."
"That's a real problem......
"Woohoo~~"
Xiao Nagi suddenly laughed, and with the mischievous expression, Hiiragi also had a bad premonition.
When Nagi gave an answer, Hiiragi realized that it was nothing.
The two of them also experienced a time when they had no money to stay in the past, so they built a base in an abandoned building in the mountain behind Hiiragi's house.
Originally, the building was inhabited by an old forestry man who tended to the young saplings on the mountain every day to ensure that they could grow into timber that could be used as materials.
Forestry may seem like an unpopular profession, but there are actually many interesting things to offer.
The fun of this industry is shown in the movie "Where, Where, Why, God Goes to the Village".
As for the facts, Hiiragi in elementary school is not very clear, and it is still the same.
It's just that every time I go up the mountain, I will see the old man of forestry with a very happy smile, carrying a bamboo basket and holding a shovel to go deep into the mountains.
Hiiragi, who goes back to the mountains once a week, has never seen the old man since he graduated from elementary school.
It's impossible for someone who has reached that age to persevere with enthusiasm......
After a long time, no one came to take over the old man's work.
That's it, and the house that no one uses becomes Hiiragi and Nagi's secret base.
The contents were basically removed, leaving only some completely useless bed frames, cabinets, and the like.
Not only that, but there were also some dry and hard dirt and withered weeds left in the room. These are all proofs of the old man's work here.
Of course, it's not good to use it casually. But Hiiragi also had no way to choose there.
I secretly brought a quilt that I didn't use from my home, and a box with toys I used to play with. There's also miniature flashlights and stuff like that.
It's been so many years and I don't know if those things are still there.
When he thought of this, the bus had already stopped, and Xiao Nagi on the side rubbed Hiiragi's cheek with his index finger.
"It's time to get there."
"Oh, I see...... Then go to the secret base. ”
Putting the wheelchair out of the car first, Hiiragi also got off the bus with Nagi on his back, put it on the wheelchair and thanked the driver who was waiting patiently for the reason.
Next, if you want to go to the secret base in the back mountain, you need to walk the mountain road.
"Trouble ......"
Subconsciously looking at Xiao Nagi, she crossed her hands. Pushing a wheelchair to Hiiragi.
"I will never go up on my own, the back of Koya is the easiest place to be reassuring!"
"You're just not willing to move......"
"There's no such thing, we're finally back once, let's get along amicably."
Friendship means that Nangong Hiiragi has also become a slave of Baili Xiaonagi......
Coming to the stairs of the mountain road leading to the back mountain, Hiiragi also picked up Nagi and began to take the first step.
The wheelchair was placed in the grass on the side, and then I came down to get it.
Fortunately, Hiiragi has also received exercises in the recent world, and climbing such a mountain with a woman on his back is not a big problem.
Sweat slid down his forehead, his breathing became rapid, and Hiiragi looked at the mountain road that was still half left. It's time to retract the preamble......
"I'll come down."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Nai made such a proposal.
"But ......"
"Mingxiao was so reluctant before."
Putting Xiao Na down. She put her left hand on Hiiragi's shoulder, and using her less flexible legs, she began to climb the mountain with Hiiragi.
The girl's body temperature came from the side at zero distance, and the soft body still looked so weak that she couldn't help but feel the wind.
A scent of jasmine wafted from the side, probably a different shampoo to wash your hair.
Supporting a girl who is not good at using her legs, Hiiragi also recalls the previous situation.
At that time, it was not she who helped Xiao Nagi, but Xiao Na who took her hand and ran on the top of the stairs.
At night, the mountains are a little overcast, and the visibility begins to decrease as the bright moonlight increases with the increase in trees.
"It's coming soon, and hopefully visibility doesn't get low."
"Koya, Koya, look at that, is it an owl?"
"Don't move, be careful and roll down, I don't want to read a file on this kind of thing."
"It doesn't matter, since Xiaoye came to this world, hasn't he encountered any misfortune so far?"
"Anything can happen in an instant."
It may also be that he has changed his life against the sky, and Hiiragi can't help but think so.
After walking some distance up the stairs up the mountain, stop halfway through and see a trail on the right side where Nagi is.
At the end of the trail is a three-story house bathed in moonlight.
To the average person, it stands silently in the darkness at night, like a haunted house.
There is a natural spring opposite the gate, and a small pond has formed nearby, and the overflowing spring has been washed into a mountain stream.
Walking inside, Hiiragi also asked Nagi to stay at the door, and he went to get the wheelchair.
Looking at the door in front of him, Hiiragi also wiped the sweat from his forehead and pushed it with his hand.
"It looks like it's closed."
"It's in disrepair, and such a wooden gate will definitely get stuck, so you have to push it hard!"
"It's a nuisance."
Hiiragi also distanced himself slightly from the gate, accelerated and kicked the gate.
Bang!
The door opened, and the latch part of the wood was completely shattered, and a large amount of dust escaped from it.
There were also startled birds in the woods behind him.
With a wave of his hand to drive away the dust, Hiiragi also stepped into the room first.
"Wow......"
A sigh was uttered.
It's a little different from the last time I was here, but it's not a big change.
Walking to the kitchen-like place on the first floor, Hiiragi also found the box that was placed there.
The box was half a man's height, and Hiiragi not only admired himself for sneaking it up the mountain.
When I opened the box, there was not much dust inside, and I could see things like quilts for children and miniature flashlights.
The quilt can probably be used, but the miniature flashlight has long been rusted.
patted the quilt, and the insects that escaped from it made Hiiragi frown.
"Koya's box! Wow, that still works. ”
"It's okay to have bugs, just take a picture, and it's summer, so it shouldn't be very cold at night."
"It's best if there's a fire."
Fire?
Hiiragi also searched for what he had stored in the box, as if he were hunting for treasure.
"Koya, take out the jar at the bottom of the box."
"This? What's inside is...... Stone? ”
Taking out the jar that was placed in the corner of the box, Xiao Nagi nodded and took it from Hiiragiya's hand.
As soon as I twisted the lid open, I smelled a smell that was a bit rushing to my nose.
"The kerosene has been stored for a long time, and it hasn't evaporated much now, so let's wait to take out these two flints, so that you can make a fire!"
"It used to be flint and steel, but I didn't expect that in modern times, such a tool would have to be used."
Hiiragi also took the jar and took out the flint and steel inside.
Before going to the pond opposite to wash his hands, Hiiragi also took the lead in picking up some branches and wood that could be used to make a fire.
Hiiragi is not too difficult to survive in the wild, and Hiiragi has been learning how to survive in difficult environments for so long.
Assuming that there were no egg cookies from the old grandmother, Hiiragi would have found a way to find wild vegetables and mushrooms to eat in this mountain.
Holding the flint and steel in both hands, it can also be used because it is stored in kerosene.
Unexpectedly, at that time, Xiao Nagi already knew that flint, as a man-made alloy, contains two special metals, cerium and lanthanum, which are easy to oxidize in the air, so they are generally stored in kerosene.
Hold the flint and steel and hold it in your arms to heat it, then collide with the fire.
Dead wood, branches, and dried weeds that Hiiragi picked up are easy to ignite.
Thankfully it hasn't rained lately, otherwise it would have been troublesome.
After igniting these, he added large thick branches to increase the fire, and set the quilt aside and leaned against it, and several small insects crawled out of it.
The quilt is not very big, two people are small, and one person is big, so they can only squat together by the fire and lean on each other's shoulders to cover the quilt.
Unlike Hiiragi's imagination, the night in the back mountain is a little cold.
A man and a woman snuggle together in the mountains late at night......
"It smells like a case is going to happen."
"It's not that easy, and even if there is, it's not in this kind of place."
Nagi pressed her head against Hiiragi's right cheek, and the scent on her body was much greater than the smell of smoke in front of her.
Are girls creatures made of spices?
Pressed his face against it, and the two of them glued tighter.
"By the way, let's have a supper."
"Wouldn't it be better to have an egg cookie for tomorrow's breakfast?"
"I'm a hedonistic faction in time, and it's better to have fewer ideas about the old man in Xiaoye, otherwise I'll become an uncle immediately."
"It's just an old man's idea to keep it for tomorrow morning."
"After many years, I didn't expect to come here."
This place is full of memories of the past. (To be continued.) )
