It's too difficult to fall in love with rewards

Chapter 140 140. On the first night of confinement, there is Xiaowei
Orisaku Aoi led Tachibana Kiyoaki to the front of the torii gate, and then stopped on the long stone steps.

The chirping of insects here one after another, as noisy as the sudden torrential rain, and the frequently flickering stone lantern fire lightly illuminates the road under the feet.

Ju Qingxian took a few steps forward, then turned around and asked, "Can I sneak out to meet Xiaowei?"

"Master, it's not time yet." Weaving Aoi replied calmly.

Glancing at the old witch in the shrine, the butler lowered his voice and whispered, "Madam said that you will be confined, and you are not allowed to leave the confines of the shrine. You can live in peace, and I will arrange the rest..."

"it is good."

Tachibana Kiyoaki turned around and walked into the shrine without looking back.

The quiet moonlight poured down, illuminating the boy's back, covering him like a layer of salt.

After the young master's back disappeared from sight, Zhisuo Aoi walked back.

In terms of understanding of Madam Yu, in this world, no one has a deeper understanding than the housekeeper.

As far as the housekeeper understands, the lady's character is more practical than spirituality related to God.

This is reflected in her life, that is, even the most humble daily necessities, she has to use the most perfect: the slippers are exquisitely made, the clothes are indescribably sewn, and the cabinets are made of cedar wood and spices are placed inside;

The windows must be clean and spotless, and the stairs and everywhere in the house must be carpeted;

The walls of the cellar should be painted clean, and the springs of the doorknobs should be soft and comfortable;
The food should be rich in nutrition, soft and delicious, good in color and taste, and clean.

Although this kind of life is luxurious, it loses its aura;
A comfortable but downright boring life, a life where everything goes well but without initiative;

In dealing with interpersonal relationships, this unparalleled woman subconsciously always wants to turn herself and the people around her into machines: as long as they are connected to electricity, people will function step by step without any spiritual food.

"lady."

I don't know how long it took, but the housekeeper left and returned.

Madam Yu, who was standing by the lake, asked calmly, "Have you entered the shrine obediently, Master?"

"The young master has not lost his temper." Weaving Aoi said with her head down.

"That's good."

Madam Yu nodded slightly.

The cool night wind blowing on the cheeks was quite comfortable.

Zhisuo Aoi looked over from the side, and for some reason, there was a slight sadness in the lady's dignified facial expression.At the corners of the tightly pursed mouth, there emerged a kind of arc that seemed tired and sad.

"Madam, please rest for a while." Zhisuo Aoi reached out to support her.

"I am not tired……"

"But you look tired."

"sunflower……"

"Ma'am, tell me."

"I, uh..." Mrs. Yu's expression showed a rare tangled emotion.

She felt in her heart that she should discuss this matter with Aoi, whether there was room for improvement, but this kind of thing was still too unfamiliar to her.The more entangled she was, the more majestic the Patriarch's majesty prevailed. In the end, she just said lightly, "Go back and rest."

"Yes, ma'am."

Aoi Orisori replied respectfully, like a robot.

Passing through the open gate of the shrine, the moist scent of flowers and plants envelopes Tachibana Kiyoshi.

Cherry tree leaves, plum leaves, and the new green of cat's-eye grass, dora, and maple. The watered leaves glow dimly.Dragon tooth grass, five phoenix grass, physalis grass, silver money flower... There are many plants that Tachibana Qing can't recognize, which grow all over the small courtyard in the shrine.

These flowers and plants look messy, but if you study carefully, you can find that most of them are medicinal herbs.

Those flowers and plants that Ju Qing obviously didn't recognize might be some kind of medicine.

... After all, most of the women in this family are fairies.

Behind the quiet small garden, behind the ancient crown wooden gate, there is a gravel road hidden by thick bushes; the flowers and plants are trimmed just right, so even if you just watered, people walking by will not be wet by water droplets or night dew.

There are square paper lamps placed in the bushes on the left and right, which look like road signs.

The old witch led Tachibana Qingxian to a side room, looking at him faintly with those white eyes.

"I'll go in to the head office by myself..." Ju Qingxian pushed the door open as if giving up.

The furnishing in the room is very unique, and the chairs, tables, oil lamps, candlesticks and other odds and ends have an elegant flavor.But the big furniture only has a wardrobe with paulownia wood on the surface, and a big bed, and there is nothing else, so the room looks empty.

The walls were pasted with dark gray paper, and the wooden floor had been waxed.

There were some books scattered on the table, which seemed to be for him to pass the time.

Tachibana Qingxian picked out this illustration at random and looked at it. The first one was "London 300 Years Ago".The picture is colorful, the foggy sky, greenery can be seen on the ground, the red roofs are connected together, and the Thames River with boats, the plain water color has a special style.

The first illustration is very interesting, so that the latter ones seem very boring.

Ju Qingxian looked at a few pictures, was disappointed and threw the illustrations back on the table, and lay down on the bed without taking off her clothes.

The moonlight outside the window is as soft as water, like a girl out of the bath, bright and clean.

A little further away, you can hear the sound of practicing shamisen, the sound of wiping the sliding door, and the footsteps of the maid.It was a quiet and harmonious summer night. Ju Qingxian was bathed in the moonlight, but she didn't feel sleepy at all.

Suddenly, he felt something brush his cheek.

As if sweat was flowing from his forehead to his temples, the boy felt like he was being watched from afar.At the same time, something invisible and pure, like a clear and cool spring, gurgled towards him from the darkness.

Mom~
This house is really evil enough.

Without further ado, Ju Qingxian took out his mobile phone and opened the line.

"Hello~"

"Rinko~"

"sos~"

"I'm surrounded by a strange sense of comfort..."

But Ms. Rinko has read all of them.

Gee!
So angry.

■

Kamakura, Rihezhuang.

The small rooms in the suite on the second floor are each only six tatami mats in size.

In Linzi's small room, the walls and roof were yellow, and the floor creaked when stepped on.

Although dilapidated, the corners of the house are very clean and tidy, and the damaged sliding door and partition paper have all been repaired. All of this looks like the landlord will rent it out immediately as long as someone is willing to rent it.

On the small table for study, there is an alcove.

In the alcove, there is a statue of the great god.

A small note and a calendar hung on the wall next to it, and a dim lamp hung directly above the table.Outside the open casement, there is a street with lights fading out, and the sparse footsteps of street people can be heard from time to time.

There was a brazier in front of Miss Rinko, with charcoal burning inside.

Summer was already hot, and the flames at this time made the room unstoppably hot.

Mosquitoes buzzed in the dark, and the white maiden costume reflected the orange firelight, as beautiful as a folded peony.

Prayer is the most miraculous thing in Shinto. To find its source, Amaterasu and Susano ordered him to demonstrate this thaumaturgy in the field of Jiutian, and it has been passed down to the present day... While thinking about the origin of Shinto, Rinko Hagiwara asked about "Kyoaki's return to the Matsudaira family".

When Bu asked about it, the young man she imagined was a symbol of purity, integrity and innocence; he was wounded by a treacherous sharp knife in the distance, and the hot blood that is now spilling out is like the blue line at the end of the sea.

The candlelight in front of the statue was flickered by the sudden wind.

The swaying paper streamer accidentally hit the candle, causing the fire to fall down, and it was about to go out...Miss Rinko hurriedly apologized, leaned back a little, and reverently removed the paper ball from the paper streamer.

God cannot use the language and ideas of the world to measure things in the world.

But God has been watching the human world.

But whenever someone asks a question, God will show it with "yes" or "no".

The magic mirror glowed with black light in the gloom.

The girl took off the ball of paper, opened it by candlelight, and saw the word "do not" appear...

"Hey~"

She sighed.

T-san, you are really ill-fated, don't be so fast...Miss Linzi turned to recite the speech of the great evil, while waving the paper banner.The waving paper streamers made a sound like doves flapping their wings.

The paper streamer swung left, right, and left a few times on the desk to show cleanliness.

Then, the girl calmed down, gently brushed the paper streamer across the desk, and silently recited Tachibana Qingxian's name.

The Great Exorcism Ceremony is a ritual for people to get rid of their own filth and various sins that lead to disasters. What the girl is doing is a kind of blessing and great exorcism from a distance, which can remove the filth and ominousness of oneself and at the same time give the other party a certain amount of shelter.

I don't know how the effect will be, anyway, it's her first time playing with this kind of thing.

After the ceremony, Rinko was exhausted.

She was hot all over, her mouth was dry, she kept drinking water, and she even came to the window to blow a cool breeze.

Looking down, there is a chaotic street scene with the lingering summer, the street is very deserted, so it seems that the sound of the sea not far away is like a thunderbolt.There are some small fishing boats on the other side of the pier, with white lights hanging on the masts.

The lights of every household were gradually extinguished, and the small town of Kamakura was not very lively late at night.

Row upon row of dark roofs, or roof tiles or thin galvanized iron plates, do not have a heavy feeling...Looking at Rinko in the distance, I can't help but sigh: the world I live in is too far from the two of them.

Her gaze was slightly directed in the direction of Tokyo.

The earth continues to rotate slowly, and people are living in a dream.

In that place, in the largest city in the world, it may not be peaceful and peaceful, but there is a certain arrogant and persistent boy... My heart is full of tender curiosity unique to girls, I hope you are all well.

The phone's breathing light flickered.

Rinko Hagiwara turned on the screen and found that it was from T-san.

After listening to these voices, a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

T Sang is an idiot who doesn't know the greatness of Rinko at all. Look at me and you...Miss Rinko is standing in front of the window, holding a mobile phone in her small hand, and is about to type...but suddenly a strong wind blows.

The girl's thin body shook.

The big blessing just now made her palms sweat a lot, and if she didn't pay attention, the phone slipped from her fingertips.

"Crack~"

Does that sound like the sound of a broken heart?
Looking at the wreckage of the mobile phone on the ground, thinking about how much delicious food the money for a new mobile phone can buy, Miss Rinko's heart is really broken to the point where it cannot be glued together... Woo, T-san, I hate you to death.

■

Tachibana Qingxian lay in a daze on the bed, and a reminder of Rinko Favorability -20 popped up in front of his eyes.

"..."

Where did I offend her?

Although you are cute, if you lose your temper for no reason, you are wrong.

Ju Qingxian called her right away, wanting to ask her clearly, but none of the calls could be connected.

Forget it, I don't care about you...

The night was already very deep, and there was silence around, only the croaking of frogs came from outside the window.The young man staring blankly at the phone is full of thoughts, and it is very likely that he will spend a sleepless night in thinking.

But at this moment, a strange sound like wind suddenly came from under the window.

In the middle of the night, in such a gloomy house, there was such a movement... Ju Qing was a little horrified, curled up on the bed like a puppy and listened carefully for a while, but the sound did not resound a second time.

On the second floor at night, only soft lights

But when Tachibana Qingxian thought it was just an auditory hallucination, there was a slight movement under the window, as if something was crawling... At first he thought it was Mrs. Ying who was playing tricks on him, but after thinking about it seriously, at this moment, Mrs. Ying might not be suffering from a headache, how could she explain to Aunt Yue, who could be outside the door...

He glanced left and right, picked up a fruit knife from the table, and approached the window.

When I looked at the courtyard below, a half-round moon happened to come out from the clouds, and the moonlight could cover the entire courtyard with only weak stone lanterns lit.

The surrounding area was completely silent, not even a barking dog was heard, let alone any suspicious figures.

Could it be my hallucination again... Ju Qingxian frowned, as if unwilling to give up, and finally glanced around.

The well-groomed garden trees and lawn were covered with cool summer dew, and the evening wind was so weak that even the wind chimes under the eaves couldn't ring... Tachibana Qingxian, who was originally out to investigate danger, suddenly saw a ghost-like white shadow crawling from under the tree in the yard at night.

"who is it?"

"..."

The white shadow suddenly trembled and almost fell from the tree.

Tangerine was taken aback.

He seemed to see blonde hair.

"Xiao Wei?"

"Ah."

The voice that answered was almost inaudible.

"Xiao Wei?"

Another clear call was heard.

Xiao Wei who sneaked over could only feel the strong fragrance of flowers wafting in the silent night, which made her lose all other senses.When she recovered from the trance, Ju Qingxian had already grabbed the branch of the big tree and jumped onto the trunk from the second floor.

"Come!"

He hands down,
Xiao Wei grabbed his palm and jumped hard.

The young couple went up the tree together.

"Aunt Kui said you want to see me, but you can't come out..."

"So you came to see me?"

"Hmph, Miss Ben wouldn't deliberately come to you."

"Xiao Wei is duplicity!"

"What did you say? Courting death..."

"Haha, okay, stop hitting. It's late at night, let's go back to our room and sleep..."
