Chapter 19: Autumn Snow in Kimura
This girl is so familiar.
She looked at Bai Maxiao and smiled, but there was a hint of pleasing in her eyes.
Is she calling me?
As she walked up to her, she motioned for him to come in. Hakuba Xiao was melancholy for a moment, and when he pushed open the door, he saw the girl's complete body, still in a green and white kimono, like a touch of life in the snow, as if symbolizing hope.
Bai Maxiao didn't have such sentiments, he just thought that this dress looked ...... Pretty - all he could do was figure it out.
This is the girl who laughed at him on the balcony next door yesterday.
"You...... Looking for me?"
The girl seemed to be very interested in him, and her smile was full of curiosity, "My name is Kimura Akiyuki. ”
"My name is Bai Ma Xiao......" From Qiu Xue's accent, Bai Ma Xiao heard a subtle bluntness, and it can be seen from the name that this is a Japanese girl, and it can be seen that she has been in China for some years in Mandarin.
"Ma Xiao? I heard you Chinese say that childhood sweethearts are called Fa Xiao. What does Ma Xiao mean?" the girl's quiet face was slightly crooked, making people unconsciously want to talk to her.
"Spicy crayfish. But I'm not called Ma Xiao, my surname is Hakuma, and Xiao is my name. This character means bamboo in Chinese. ”
"This 'small' refers to bamboo, little bamboo, haha, what a cute name. ”
It's cute, and Hakuma never thought that his name could be explained like this.
"Are you coming to Wuxi for the first time?" the girl looked him up and down, and her tone revealed a local atmosphere.
"The second time. However, this hostel is the first time to visit. You seem to have lived here for years, haven't you?"
Regret flashed in Qiu Xue's eyes, but it quickly turned into pride, "Yes, my father and I have been here for five years, and I like it very much." ”
That moment of regret was indeed captured by Bai Mashio, although he didn't care about it at first, but it clashed with her later verbal expression, which made him curious, "Do you think there is a fly in the ointment here?"
People who are seen through their minds often can't help but confide in him, and Qiuxue is no exception, "I want to ...... See an autumn snow ......"
Autumn is not easy to snow, let alone in this southern city, it is simply impossible. "This ...... It seems too difficult, after all, except in the cold zone, it is difficult to see snow in autumn, right?"
Qiu Xue's gaze immediately dimmed, and it was not difficult to see her loss and unwillingness, "There are still four days...... I really want to see a snow ......."
"How about four days?"
"Huh? huh...... I mean, I'm going to leave in four days, and I can't see the snow in Wuxi before that, so I'm so unwilling......"
Her forced smile made Bai Maxiao embarrassed, and she couldn't imagine that not seeing the snow scene in Wuxi would make her so disappointed.
"Isn't that easy? Wait another two or three months, and in the winter, it will probably snow. If you can't wait, you can come back then, now that the transportation is so developed......"
"yes......"
At this time, Qiuxue seemed to hear something, "Ah, my father is here." He told me to have a good rest today, I couldn't help but come out to talk to you for a few words, and I should be unhappy to be seen by him. ”
"Yes, you're sick, then go back to rest, I'm leaving. After speaking, Bai Maxiao closed the door in a panic, and when he turned his head, a middle-aged man came up at the staircase, who was the innkeeper.
When the boss saw Bai Maxiao standing there, he stepped forward and said, "This gentleman, there is a sick little girl living here, please don't disturb her." ”
I didn't think that Qiu Xue was the boss's daughter, "Oh, I was just passing by, and I didn't make any noise." ”
The boss bowed apologetically to him and walked into the room, apparently to see his daughter go.
Hopefully she will recover soon.
Back in the room, Luo Yong's bag was missing, and it looked like they had set off. The empty room made Bai Ma Xiao feel a little lonely, if only Lu Tong was here at this time.
In the days when he was injured, he and Shan Feng were not embarrassed in the same ward, as if the two were friends.
It's rare for someone with such a big heart.
I said I was here to play, but I couldn't just run around, and I had to wait for deployment, which was really boring.
He took out the pen and paper in the TV cabinet, turned on the TV, and practiced drawing symbols on the paper while listening to his favorite TV series.
Fu Jiansheng said that a talisman must be drawn correctly with psychic blood, and as for what is correct, he will naturally know it after drawing it.
However, he did not succeed once, so he could only draw more with his pen and use blood again when he became proficient, otherwise no amount of blood would be enough for him to draw.
One morning passed, the paper basket was full of messy paper, no matter how you drew it, it was a pile of waste paper, and Bai Maxiao dropped the pen and rubbed his hair vigorously.
With such complex graphics, it's going crazy.
He turned out the book "Maoshan Daojian", he remembered that there was a chapter in it that recorded a lot of Maoshan talismans, and he would never believe that there was no simpler talisman.
As a result, reality gave him a resounding slap in the face, some of these talismans were dense, some were crooked, and some even crawled like a maze covering a whole page!
I don't know what kind of person the creator of this talisman is, who can create so many strange but different functions and even anti-heaven talismans.
One of the talismans, Bai Maxiao noticed, it was a talisman called "Guiding Snow", and there were other talismans such as "Attracting Wind" and "Calling Rain", but I didn't expect that drawing talismans could also change the weather.
If you can draw such a symbol, then the autumn snow will not be able to ......
It suddenly occurred to him that next door was the room where Kimura Akiyuki was.
They were separated by only one wall.
I don't know if she is getting better, but before I know it, I leaned against the wall and listened with my ears, as if I could hear her voice and make sure she was okay.
Suddenly, he seemed to really hear the girl's crisp laughter. He looked at the wall in amazement, and wondered if this soundproofing was really that bad.
"Knock knock", he knocked nervously twice, and a few seconds later, the opposite side also "knocked knock" twice, as if in response to him.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
Bai Maxiao couldn't help laughing, they were communicating in such a way, they knew that it was better to ask her for a QQ number at the beginning, isn't it normal to chat with a mobile phone?
Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder.
What a horrible thing to be tapped on the shoulder in a room where he was alone.
Bai Maxiao jumped up in fright, and almost completed the turning action in the air, and when he landed, his body had turned one hundred and eighty degrees.
Snow white as a flower, a little star green, it's her, Kimura autumn snow.
"You, you, how did you get in?"
Qiu Xue tilted her head, covered her mouth and smiled, as if she was laughed at by the way he had just looked. "I saw that the door of your room was not closed, so I came in. ”
"......" Just before he could think about what his expression should be, she had already come to him, and her cute little face was pasted up, observing him.
"What, see me with such a wooden expression?"
Bai Maxiao hadn't thought about what to say, so he could only say hello symbolically, "I heard from the boss that you are sick, are you better?"
There was a hint of sadness in her eyes, "Some diseases are not so easy to heal." Even if it's just a little better......"
"Do you have ...... Cancer?"
"Don't talk about this, stay at home all day and suffocate to death, what good idea do you have?"
What can he do? On the first day he joined the group, Fu Jiansheng said that he must absolutely obey the arrangement and think about the overall situation. Although he didn't know what the use of letting him stay here was to draw the talisman, he didn't want to be charged with unruliness on the first day.
On the day he left the infirmary, he promised Lu Tong that he would work together with him and become a real spirit.
Celebrities never disappoint fans easily, and Hakumashi is no exception.
"I have to finish my painting homework, so I can't leave here until I ......"
"Drawing?" Qiu Xue smiled excitedly, "I like it the most, why don't I teach you?"
"You...... Probably won't be interested...... ......."
When she saw this strange talisman, she was still interested.
She said that when copying a painting, you should not blindly copy it, but imagine the painting scene of the painter, his artistic conception, demeanor, and the order of his strokes.
A drawing is like a word, and the order of strokes is very important, because not all lines are intentional, and there are many that are not easily ligatographed.
Then, Qiu Xue helped him analyze the order of the strokes of this "ghost talisman", and Bai Ma Xiao drew a decent talisman according to what she said.
It is true that some strokes that are difficult to reproduce are actually made in one go in a single stroke.
"It's very well drawn. ”
"Well, I'll give it a try. He took out a delicate switchblade, which Fu Jiansheng had given him, and it was said to be made of a special material, and the wounds cut with it healed more quickly.
Scratched the index finger of his right hand and drew on a piece of paper, and sure enough, the strokes were much smoother than imitating them one by one.
Suddenly, when he finished the last stroke, he felt that something in his body had been sucked away, and suddenly a sense of fatigue came up, like the fatigue left after climbing a dozen floors in one breath and stopping to stop breathing.
This is what Fu Jiansheng said: "You will naturally know when you draw the right talisman".
It turned out that after drawing a talisman, he would feel tired, as if the talisman had absorbed his spirit.
He hadn't felt so tired for a long time, and he suddenly lay down on the tatami mat and lost his energy.
Qiu Xue looked at him in surprise, "What?
Hakuma prevaricated, "Well, I stayed up late last night to draw this, and I was very tired." ”
"Shall I give you a massage?"
Before Bai Maxiao could react, he felt his temples being held down by her, gently rubbing. Her fingers were light and cool, making him feel very comfortable.
"Comfortable ......"
Qiu Xue smiled lightly.
It's a warm feeling, and for him, it's the warmth of home. A home should be like this, with someone caring and someone loving.
It's a pity that there is no such relationship except for my cousin. So he lacked maternal love for the first time.
"Little bamboo?"
"Huh?"
"I'm bored, can you talk to me?"
"What do you want to hear?"
"Tell me...... Your first love?"
It has been said that a person's first love is not necessarily his first love, but should be the first person that flashes through his mind when the word is mentioned.
"My First Love...... Probably not a poignant story. The first time I moved into my uncle's house, my father had just died, but I wasn't very sad because I didn't understand it yet. At that time, she was in front of the house next door, looking shy and shy, so I asked her......"
When people are in a state of physical relaxation, they will always relax their spirits together, and it is no wonder that many businessmen choose to talk about business in the sauna.
Hakumashi expressed his thoughts in such an environment, and fell asleep unconsciously.
When he woke up again, the room was very dark, as if it was night, and a figure faintly appeared in the view. The figure noticed him wake up and asked, "Wake you up? You're good enough to sleep here for so long." ”
Bai Maxiao rubbed his eyes before he saw the tranquility. Qiu Xue is no longer there, so she probably went back, but there was an extra pillow under her head and a quilt on her body, which she should have brought it. When he massaged him at that time, his head seemed to be resting on her lap, and now that he thinks about it, he can't help but feel a little hot on his face.
Tranquility pushed him, "Why are you stunned?'s face is still so red, you're dreaming of spring?!"
Bai Maxiao looked at her subconsciously, but his thoughts hadn't come back yet. Tranquility was looked at by him and smiled at all, "You...... It can't be true, right?"
Bai Maxiao reacted, turned his face and ignored her, his face becoming more and more red.
Tranquility hooked his neck for some reason, and asked gossipingly, "Tell me, who did you dream of?"
He pushed it away and said impatiently, "Go to the side!
"Don't talk about pulling down!" Seeing his shy look, he quietly withdrew his hand with satisfaction, "We have a meeting next door, will you come?"
Bai Maxiao said disdainfully, "It's the same with me or not, right?" just tell me what you want to do. ”
"You, just draw a talisman ......here," she said, gesturing to a pile of scrap paper on the table, and a noteworthy object appeared in her perspective.
She pulled one out of the pile of papers and looked at it, "You drew this talisman? But...... Why are the edges a little browned?"
Hakuma Xiao took it, and this was the talisman he had drawn with blood under the guidance of Qiu Xue, but there was indeed a burnt yellow stain in the lower left corner, as if it had been roasted over fire.
"The color of this symbol...... Did you draw it with blood?" Before he could answer, Tranquility snatched it back again, threw it into the air, stretched out his hand underneath it, and stopped when it was still more than twenty centimeters away from his hand.
It looks like Tranquility uses superpowers to make the paper float, but Bai Maxiao is no longer surprised, this is the "spiritual power" that Fu Jiansheng said, and Bai Maxiao understands it as a superpower.
"Wow! You've made it! This talisman has spiritual powers, and it's the first time I've seen someone who can draw their own talismans!"
I don't know how much strength Tranquility has, anyway, Bai Maxiao was powerless to resist when she was dragged along, and she was dragged to the opposite room in the blink of an eye.
Nie Jianfeng was discussing something with Luo Yong, but was suddenly interrupted by tranquility.
"Senior Jianfeng! Look at this!"
Nie Jianfeng also looked at the talisman and said, "It seems that we have found a money printing machine." ”
At this time, Luo Yong noticed the stain first, he took the talisman, put it on the table, and made a gesture with his left hand to pick it up.
Nie Jianfeng also saw that the position where Luo Yong's left hand touched the paper was the location of the burnt yellow stain, which looked like it was left by someone when he went to pick up the paper after he got something on his hand, and he used his left hand.
"It's a ghost. A ghost tried to pick up this talisman, but it was burned, leaving the marks of the burned. ”
Luo Yong's inference is reasonable, spirits only feel pain when they are attacked by spiritual power, and this pain is mostly pain when high temperatures are generated. For ghosts, a talisman full of spiritual power is like a hot light bulb, which naturally cannot be touched.
Although Bai Maxiao didn't know what they meant, he roughly said that there was a ghost in his room?
"Did an outsider enter your room today?" Nie Jianfeng asked tentatively.
"Yes, yes, it's the boss's daughter, Kimura Akiyuki. ”
The three of them showed a relieved expression at the same time, which made Bai Maxiao inexplicable.
Tranquility added, "The boss's daughter is a left-hander. ”
Nie Jianfeng nodded, "Sure enough, it seems that the target has been found." ”
Hakuma hurriedly stopped them, "What did you say?"
Tranquility looked at Bai Maxiao and said word by word: "Kimura Qiuxue, she has long been dead." ”
