Chapter 5: First Encounter (Revised Version)
Early the next morning.
Chen Candle had breakfast and wandered aimlessly through the streets of Tokyo, and as for the task entrusted by the potato chip girl, Chen Candle planned to do it before returning to China.
For now, of course, it's time to enjoy life abroad.
But then again, Chen Candle is a little scratching his head now, and he doesn't know where to play.
With his special situation, there don't seem to be many places to go, and if you want to eliminate any beautiful scenery and the like, then there are only a handful of places to go......
Tamamo front.
Chen Candle's mind suddenly flashed this name, this is the "good place" that Shang Yiyue said before yesterday's challenge.
He said that it was a good place, so it must be very good.
What's the fun? Chen Candle suddenly had a little expectation, in front of Yuzao? It's good to hear the name, but there will be a lot of delicious food.
As soon as he said go, Chen Zhu lifted his crutches and walked in one direction, there seemed to be someone at the intersection in front of him, go and ask.
The summer breeze in Tokyo is gentle, the sun is just the right amount of gentleness, and the red-haired girl stands in front of the intersection with a fresh look.
Although the girl is not young, she is full of curiosity about everything around her, and she is delighted by the honking of passing cars, the small yellow tricycle riding by a child is magical, and the cherry blossoms blown down by the breeze are ...... It landed on the head of the blindfolded young man in a Taoist robe.
"Hello, where is Tamamo going?" The young man in the Taoist robe was on crutches and fell to the ground with a crisp sound of "tuk tuk".
The maiden girl in the witch costume tilted her little head, her big eyes blinked, and she reflected the handsome face of the young man purely, picked up the whiteboard she carried with her and wrote: "Eri Yi doesn't know." ”
Chen Zhu waited for a while, and the air was filled with the unique fragrance of a girl, but only no sound came.
"Sorry to interrupt." Chen Candle bent down slightly, thinking that the other party didn't want to pay attention to him.
There are too many ultimate problems in this world, and at this moment, one of them is right in front of you: a teenager who can't open his eyes and a girl who can't speak.
How do you communicate?
Seeing that Chen Candle wanted to leave, Eili Yi was suddenly a little anxious, and Su Bai's small hand grabbed the cane in the young man's hand.
"What's wrong?" Chen Candle turned his head and looked at the girl with some confusion.
Eri opened her mouth, wanting to speak, but she didn't dare, her little face was tangled together, and she looked cute.
But at this moment, it was Chen Candle standing in front of her, and he was still puzzled by the girl's silence.
"Is there going to be a fight?" Chen Candle thought of a possibility.
Chen Zhu raised his eyebrows, the news of his arrival in Japan spread so quickly?
Very good, I didn't expect to have a surprise when I went out today, in Chen Candle's perception, the strength of this girl in front of her is not weak, even better than yesterday's top!
Are there so many strong people in Japan? Chen Candle was a little happy.
Eri Yi looked at Chen Candle who suddenly became excited with a puzzled expression, this young man is so strange.
But after a long while, Chen Candle didn't detect the slightest malice from the girl opposite.
Okay, guess wrong, it's not bothering me. Chen Candle scratched his head, all he noticed in the girl was curiosity.
God is so curious, what the hell is this chick thinking?
Suddenly, Chen Candle thought of a possibility again, "Can't you speak?" ”
Eri nodded happily, but thought that Chen Candle couldn't see it, so she ......
Chen Candle seemed to sense something, and just wanted to retreat, but he couldn't feel the girl's malice, so in his entanglement, the soft and tender little hand held his face and shook it up and down.
Like a perfume overturned on the table, the fragrance of the warm sun spreads.
Under the traffic light, through the hazy sunlight, the girl stood on tiptoe and held the boy's face, as if she would kiss it in the next second.
In the breeze, the white robe and the shrine maiden costume with white on the top and red on the bottom swayed gently.
Eyes tied with white cloth and a writing board for speaking in the sun.
On the street, the boy who can't open his eyes and the girl who can't speak.
The summer breeze stirs up the heat wave, restless not only the weather, but also the heart of the first time you meet.
Chen Candle has never been at a loss, the first time he is so sensitive, the touch on his face is so clear, even the fine fluff is rejoicing.
So, does this mean that you can't speak?
"Can't speak?" Chen Zhu asked.
Chen Candle nodded.
"Hmm, do you know where Tamamo is?"
Chen Candle shook his head.
"Okay, so I won't bother you for now?"
Chen Candle's face was crumpled together.
Chen Candle fell into thought, and Chen Candle understood.
"You want to go along." Chen Zhu affirmed.
"Chen Candle" nodded frantically.
Well, Chen Candle understands the girl's thoughts.
It turns out that Tamamo is so popular in Japan, and I want to go to any girl I meet on the street.
"Let's go, then." Chen Zhu said, and then turned around and left solemnly with his crutches, and the crutches fell to the ground and made a cheerful sound.
Therefore, the first time they met, Chen Candle took the girl to the club with confidence.
But Eri Yi didn't care, she was full of curiosity about the handsome young Taoist priest in front of her, his voice was so good, and there was a kind of sunny-like warmth on his body, which made people unconsciously feel at ease.
It's as if time passes by him, and he can't help but take a nap.
It's just that a blind Taoist priest who came to Tokyo for the first time, a mute witch who ran away from home and didn't know anything about the world, how can she find Tamamo?
Eri squatted on the ground, pursed her moist lips, her big eyes flashed with adoration, and she stared nervously at the copper coin jumping in Chen Candle's hand.
Chen Candle tossed the coin high, causing it to fall freely, and smashed it on the ground with a crisp "ding" sound.
Chen Zhu stretched out his hand and touched it, then pointed in one direction and said confidently: "Go there!" ”
"Bang Bang!" Eri Yi clapped desperately with her white and tender little hands, although she didn't know how Chen Candle came to this conclusion, but she just thought he was so powerful.
Chen Candle listened to the girl's applause, a little proud, but at the same time, he was a little weak-hearted, because he could only calculate that he could go in this direction to Yuzao, as for how far and how long he would go, in fact, he didn't have a score in his heart.
But he can't be cowardly! Especially in front of girls!
"Let's go." Chen Candle took the lead, and Hui Liyi hurriedly followed, her little hand tightly tugging at the corner of the robe.
Chen Candle felt the pull coming from behind him, and a wonderful feeling came to his heart, and he unconsciously slowed down his pace to wait for the girl behind him.
It's a hassle to go out with Eri.
The girl was like she had never been out of the house, and everything on the road made her feel novel.
The snack bar on the side of the road will stick to her steps, the doll costume that distributes flyers will also allow her to pull the corner of Chen Candle's clothes and not let her go, and she will cherish the small red flowers growing on the green belt.
Although it had been two hours since the departure, the distance that Chen Candle and the others had walked was less than a kilometer, and they had to stop after walking almost ten meters.
The novelty in Eriyi's eyes has changed and changed, but the only thing that has not changed is the hand holding the corner of Chen Candleyi.
Just like now, Eri Yi walked and stopped, feeling the pull behind her, Chen Zhu smiled helplessly, came to the girl's side, and gently rubbed the red hair with her left hand, "What new things do you see again?" ”
Eri felt the strangeness coming from her head, warm, thick, and made people feel ...... It's reassuring.
It's like a warm fireplace in a blizzard, a safe cabin in the wind and rain, a light for yourself after dark.
Eri snorted, obviously it was a good feeling, but why did she want to cry?
In the final analysis, the girl just wants to be treated gently like an ordinary person, without worrying about the so-called loss of control, and there will not be a large group of people holding all kinds of instruments around her.
Just an ordinary girl who likes to be gentle, not a monster in a cage.
When she walked out of the house, she was not faced with surveillance and so-called protection, but with someone holding her hand and telling her about the beauty of the world.
That's enough.
Eri's vision gradually blurred, but the young man's gentle voice was clearly heard in her ears.
"I'll start with that, it's my first time in Tokyo, and I don't know a lot."
"But this tastes so good, is it delicious?"
"Boss, what is this?"
"Five-colored balls? Sounds delicious, bring me ten skewers! ”
"What? Are you saying this girl is my girlfriend? ”
"Oh, that's definitely not it, uncle, you really like to joke, she's the ...... I just met on the road"
While speaking, Chen Candle turned his head and "looked" at Eriyi, who was still stunned, smiled gently, turned to the boss and continued: "It's just a cute silly roe deer. ”
"You can see it, but you act as if you haven't seen anything, and you want to see everything."
"It's good that if you meet me, if you meet those bad guys, you might be sold and look back curiously to see what they are doing."
Listening to the conversation between Chen Candle and the boss, there seemed to be something more in Eriyi's dull eyes in the past, as if the gods had given her the best of everything, but she didn't paint bright eyes for the girl.
Let her live in small darkness from childhood to adulthood, otherwise you can't imagine that there will be such a girl in the world, full of curiosity about cars, flowers, birds, and even the white clouds floating in the sky.
Now, she seems to have met the person who can take her to see the beauty of the world.
Eri's eyes reflected the boy standing in the sunlight, his eyes covered by a white cloth.
She ran over, stubbornly grabbed Chen Candle's slender and good-looking left hand, and wrote something on his hand with her own fingers.
One stroke at a time, it was so serious, as if he was doing something big.
After writing it again, Eri Yi looked at Chen Zhu with eyes full of anticipation.
But after Chen Zhu pondered for a while, he could only smile helplessly, "I'm sorry, I only learned how to speak Japanese at that time, but I didn't learn how to write Japanese." ”
But Eri Yi doesn't care, if it doesn't work once, then she will continue to write, write until he understands, she is not a stupid roe deer, she is called Eri Yi!
Chen Zhu helplessly lowered his head to "look" at this stubborn girl, sighed softly, stretched out his other hand, pulled out her clipboard from Eriyi's body, and then pulled out his own hand from Eriyi's hand to pick up the pen.
Before writing, I didn't forget to gently tap the little head of this stubborn and stupid girl with a pen.
Chen Zhu wrote five Japanese characters on the clipboard, holding the board and asking the boss who sold the balls: "Boss, may I ask what kind of character is this?" ”
With a towel tied to his forehead, the kind-looking uncle looked at it fixedly, and muttered in his mouth: "Painted pear clothes on the shirt?" ”
"Top-shirted Painted Pear Clothes? Your name? Chen Zhu turned his head and asked the girl.
"Uh-huh." Eri Yi nodded happily, and realized that Chen Candle couldn't see, so she stood on tiptoe again, put her hand on Chen Candle's head, and rubbed it, as if rewarding the boy for answering correctly!
Although Chen Candle couldn't see it, he could feel the joy from the girl in front of him, it was so pure.
Okay.
So the Taoist priest stretched out his hand and gently held the witch's little hand, and a beam of sunlight fell on his handsome face: "Hello, Eriyi, my name is Chen Candle, and I am a ......"
"Taoist priest." It is spoken in Chinese.
Eri Yi tilted her little head, as if she couldn't quite understand what the Taoist priest meant in Chen Candle's mouth.
Chen Zhu sensed the girl's doubts, so he pondered for a moment, how to say the Japanese Taoist, but he knew English, so he scratched his head and said, "It's taoist, that's what it is called in English." ”
Eri blinked her big eyes, and her mouth was softly, cautiously tentative, as if she was afraid that her voice would pierce the beauty of this moment: "Taoist? ”
The sound is ethereal, like the flowing water that echoes through the valley.
Chen Candle felt that his heartbeat was unprecedentedly violent, just like 10,000 heads of three generations planted in his heart with spring hair, and the girl ran wildly.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Candle felt that he had to say something, what to say?
To the fragrant breeze, to the warm sunshine for the rest of her life, to her......
"Yes, I'm here." Chen Candle said with a smile.
