Chapter 5: Negative 99 Days (Registration and Work)
With the knock of the snow on the mountain, there were small footsteps behind the door of the barnyard field, and then, the guard opened the door, and the snow explained the meaning in a language that Shi Qi did not understand, and then brought the dazed Shi Qi inside.
Shi Qi was immersed in the vastness of the barnyard family: in such a backward place, with such a mansion, he didn't know how to describe it.
Luxury, right? It's not that it's huge and beautiful, but it doesn't have that vulgar sense of money supremacy, and people can't help but wonder if the mansion should be handed down, right?
Walking through the corridor, Yamashi and Shiqi are taken by the guards to a not-so-small private room.
With the familiar sound of a knock on the door and a reply to the invitation, the snow in the mountain saw the center of the village, the barnyard field.
"Good morning, Lord Aqiu!" The snow under the mountain greeted him energetically: "I picked up a person from outside the village, and I came here to report to you!" ”
Sitting at the only table in the room, Aqiu gently placed the brush on the pen stand, and the ink on the bamboo slips was dry, and she looked up.
Well, the skin is fair, there are no traces of tanning and labor, there are no calluses on the hands, and the eyes are squinted, which should be a little short-sighted.
It looks like an outsider. Ah Qiu pinched his eyebrows, there are indeed a lot of outsiders recently, and I don't know what that person thinks.
But fortunately, the vitality of the village is also due to many of these people.
"But Akira-sama, he doesn't seem to understand or speak Japanese." The snow pulled Shi Qi next to him and pointed at him and said.
"Foreigners?" Ah Qiu tapped his finger on the table: "It's a little troublesome." ”
Now it's the turn of the snow on the mountain to get confused: "Outside... Country...... What is it? ”
"Well, it's a bit hard to explain, but it's from another village, so it's good if you think like this." Ah Qiu called the guards outside the door and asked them to bring the origin of the study.
Shi Qi didn't understand the whole time, but he also sat opposite Ah Qiu like a snowy mountain.
This beautiful woman is the owner of the mansion, right? What a young and promising person! Maybe maybe it's starting too high? Ha ha.
Brushes and bamboo slips, it looks like they're recording something, but I can't read anything, but it seems that my calligraphy is okay?
Strange, how do I know that my calligraphy is okay, what is calligraphy...... Ah! Can't think about it anymore, wait a minute, it's a loop again!
Ah Qiu looked at the young man in front of him who didn't say a word, yellow-skinned, it looked like he was from the other side of the sea? Let's try the language of that country?
"Hello?" Ah Qiu has lived for a long time, she naturally knows Chinese, but the pronunciation is something, the Japanese pronunciation is missing some syllables in Chinese, so it will sound a little strange.
A hello came into Shi Qi's ears, and the breeze skimmed over the water.
The ripples are endless.
No response? Is it the land of projectiles? Ah Qiu was a little disappointed.
"Hello." However, at this time, Shi Qi's mouth came out of the language of that country, and a slight smile appeared on Ah Qiu's face.
(As an aside, when Gensokyo was hidden, the war that our revolutionary forefathers fought for had not yet happened.) All the residents of Gensokkyo are unaware and uninvolved, and it is assumed that the god is deliberately stuck in this time period. There are so many things that can be thought of when creating, God, it is admirable. )
"Outsider, you're from that ancient civilization, aren't you? I'm Barnyard Aqiu, this is not the world you know, this is Gensokyo. Ah Qiu spoke slowly in broken Chinese, but Shi Qi listened very seriously.
Encountering a hometown is the same as meeting a hometown, which is an exciting thing.
Shi Qi also replied in passing: "Yes, I'm from there, I came here as soon as I woke up, is the name of this place Gensokyo?" It's really good! But what's the matter with the difference between the world I know and the world I know? As for this, Shi Qi suddenly remembered the human wolf girl under the moonlit night.
Now it is the turn of the people watching the play on the side to the mountain snow.
"I can answer your question, but first you have to write your name on it." Ah Qiu took the bamboo slip handed over by the guards and pointed to the blank space: "Gensokyo is a completely different world from the outside, there are many strange things here, and there are also monsters. ”
"Here, monsters exist, and the people in the village usually only chat and play except for farm work, so it's a world where there is not much pressure to survive."
Shi Qi wrote his name, the current one.
"Twenty-five at seven, what a strange name." Ah Qiu frowned and patted the snow on the mountain next to him: "His name is twenty-five seven, please remember." ”
"Hey, my name is weird because it's what I just thought, it's not easy! Twenty-five corresponds to twenty-four, which is the time that does not exist, and the seventh hour is simple, that is, it is simply nothing. Shi Qi smiled shyly: "Because I thought this was Japan on the way here, I gave a name with a long name." ”
"I've lost all my memories and I don't know who I am, so let's use this name instead of me!" Shi Qi squeezed his eyebrows and said as he looked at the snow falling down the mountain.
Of course, it was Chinese that he couldn't understand, and at this time, Aqiu took on the role of a translator, translating what he said into Japanese and telling Yamashita to listen to it.
Immediately, Ah Qiu turned his head to face him: "Shi Qi, you are now from our village, so let's arrange for you to live in that lady's house first...... By the way, her name should be ......" Ah Qiu asked about Mountain Snow, and then she got the answer she wanted, so she continued, "Her name is Mountain Snow." Of course, if you want to work or something, you can work with me first, and by the way, I will teach you Japanese, so that you can communicate better. ”
Ah Qiu said a lot of words, then paused, moistened his throat and continued: "Living with us, you don't need to pay much attention, since you have been sent in and lost all your memories, are you ready to start a new second life?" ”
Ah Qiu still knows some of the more trendy vocabulary, which is obviously thanks to foreign books.
Shi Qi was stunned, then opened his mouth and smiled: "Okay." But I don't know how to do farm work or Japanese. ”
"It's okay, I can teach you." Ah Qiu was relaxed, anyway, he had no memory, and there would be nothing else, and her eyes also saw Shi Qi's name: "Ah, your writing seems to be okay." ”
As if he had thought of something, Ah Qiu tapped lightly on the table, and then said, "In that case, you can come to me and copy the Japanese book into Chinese!" ”
"But I don't know Japanese yet." "It's okay, it's okay, I'll find a teacher to teach you, then it's decided!"
Ah Qiu nodded when she saw Shi Qi, the corners of her mouth went up, she clapped her hands, and the guards poured in from outside the door and took out the paper.
"I'll just write Chinese." Ah Qiu is a real person, and it is better for this kind of thing to reassure him.
The snow on the mountain couldn't understand what they were doing, and they were playing with their fingers boringly.
"How about the contract." Although Ah Qiu knows Chinese, she really doesn't have time to copy a Chinese version of the history of Qiuwen, and now that someone has filled the vacancy, she is also happy.
Shi Qi pretended to check the contract seriously, he didn't have any worldly desires, work or something, others were willing to arrange it, just let her wish: "Okay." ”
In this way, a paper contract was established, and Shi Qi officially became the person who copied the book.
