I'm doing crazy things in Beng3

Dr. Mei's absence in the paradise of the past has already told Lin Wei the answer -

What needs to be unfolded is not Lin Wei's own memory.

Lin Wei whispered to himself.

Obviously, his consciousness was not only entangled with Ling, but also with Yae Sakura who was now in deep sleep. The holy scar on his body was the bridge that connected all of this. Now he just needed to extend this bridge a little and connect it with the data space of the paradise in the past.

Then, go find the little girl who is hiding.

Lin Wei took a quick look at the environment he was in.

The fresh air, the familiar mountain paths, and the chirping of insects and birds that can be heard from far and near, seem as if everything is full of life.

The place seemed familiar, as if he had been here before last time. He looked around, climbed up to the height he had climbed once before, and looked into the distance.

The Yae Village in the distance was not as rich and prosperous as what he had seen the last time he came. The villagers built houses with bricks and tiles, and the roads were paved with bluestone. It was as prosperous as a city.

There were only dirt roads, wooden walls, thatched roofs, and no planning, and the layout of the houses looked rather messy. Occasionally there were sparse fruit trees, but they were not as lush and leafy as the last time I saw them, and were instead drooping with uneven branches and leaves, swaying listlessly in the wind. Only from the roofs of a few houses could you see smoke from cooking.

This is just a village struggling to make ends meet. This is Yaesura.

Lin Wei sighed, turned around and followed the mountain road which was still as clean as the last time he saw it, all the way to the end of the bamboo forest, where he saw a row of vaguely visible torii gates, still solemn and sacred, showing the villagers' seriousness and piety.

I closed my eyes and waited for a while, but no one called out to me "stranger traveler" from behind as I remembered. I felt a little regretful, but not disappointed.

"Ms. Yaezakura, it seems that it is time to fulfill the promise we made to you."

Lin Wei still remembers the girl's deep bow to him before her dream was shattered.

"After today, you can go with me to see the outside world."

Shatter your beautiful dream and give you a not-so-beautiful reality.

It's a bit cruel, I hope you don't blame me...

Lin Wei walked down from the height and followed the path that Yaezakura had once led him along, heading towards the distant Yae Village.

The river at the foot of the mountain was not abundant, only slightly stronger than a stream, and there were no lush reeds along the river;

The bridge over the river was not a wide, sturdy bridge that could even accommodate horse-drawn carriages. It was just two wooden planks put together and placed on the foundation stones on both sides of the river to create a bridge for people to walk on.

Lin Wei walked carefully on this "bridge" which was only slightly better than a single-plank bridge. Fortunately, he did not slip. Lin Wei felt relieved.

After crossing the bridge, Lin Wei looked back and shook his head with some emotion.

"It's such a small stream, the water is so shallow that it barely reaches the back of the foot. If someone can float down the river in such a large amount of water, it's no wonder that Yaezakura values ​​him."

If you put yourself in her shoes, as an ancient person who lived five hundred years ago and was a priestess serving the gods, seeing Kallen like this, you would probably really regard her as a "gift from God."

What a bad fate...

Lin Wei shook his head with emotion.

It is indeed a "gift" from God, but the "God" of this world is not something beautiful.

Continuing forward, walking along the path between the fields, the farmland had dried up and cracked, and the sluggishly growing seedlings were leaning to one side and dying.

Still no one.

There was no one in the farmlands, no one in the villages, and no one in the villagers' homes.

The doors of the houses of the villagers, who were penniless, were wide open. Of course, there was no need to close them.

Lin Wei even wanted to go in and put some money in before coming out...

He moved forward in the direction he remembered. Although the road he was taking now was different from the road Yaezakura had led him to take before, and there were not many similarities between them, Lin Wei believed that moving in this direction would definitely be the right path.

Because she once asked for help implicitly.

Halfway through the journey, Lin Wei saw a fruit tree. Although it looked different, Lin Wei felt that it was the tree where he had picked fruit before.

He walked over, took out the only little change he had, put it at the door of the villager's house, and pressed it tightly with a stone.

I promised Yaezakura that I would pay.

Lin Wei took two steps back, took a look, nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and strode forward.

We walked past a huge cherry blossom tree, which was the only thing in the village that remained the same as I had remembered.

Turn the corner, enter the alley, and walk to the end, there is a small courtyard with a closed gate.

Lin Wei walked forward and knocked on the door gently.

“Thump, thump…”

"Come in! The door is not locked..."

The clear voice of a little girl came from afar. It was not Yaezakura, and it sounded a little weak.

Lin Wei was a little surprised at the answer to her guess.

Lin Wei responded and gently pushed open the door. With a creaking sound of wood rubbing against each other, the small wooden house that was exactly the same as in his memory appeared in his eyes. There were some flowers planted in the courtyard in front of the house, which were full of vitality, beautiful and well taken care of.

The further you go, the more you can smell medicine.

really……

Lin Wei followed the direction of the smell of medicine, walked to a room with closed doors and windows, and knocked on the door gently.

"Ah... please, please come in, the door should not be locked."

The girl in the room seemed a little surprised, and then made a strange rustling sound.

"Sorry for disturbing you."

After getting permission, Lin Wei gently pushed the door open, and then turned around and closed the door as soon as he entered.

Yae Rin's health is not good and she should not be exposed to the wind.

This is Yae Rin's room. Yae Sakura's younger sister, a poor girl who has been sickly since childhood.

Lin Wei saw the pink-haired little girl sitting at the head of the bed. She was wearing thick clothes but only covered with a thin quilt, as if her weak body could not bear a thicker quilt.

There was a small bowl next to Lin's pillow, with something strange in it. She leaned over and was clumsily tidying up the various herbs that were arranged in different categories on the quilt on the bed. However, she was tidying up in a hurry and it looked a little messy.

"what……"

When Lin saw Lin Wei coming in, she was so surprised that she almost fell down. Lin Wei quickly caught up with her and supported her, then helped her up and sat her down carefully.

"Thank you. I'm sorry, I was in a hurry and didn't have time to clean up. Please don't mind."

Lin first thanked Lin Wei, then bowed her head and apologized softly, as if she was the one who was rude first.

"How could that be? I should be the one apologizing. Sorry, Rin, this came a little suddenly. Did I scare you?"

Lin Wei covered her with the quilt and comforted her softly.

"No, no, you have my sister's scent on you, which is nice and reassuring. How can it be scary?"

Lin shook her head like a rattle, her short pink hair tied into two small ponytails swaying back and forth, showing an extremely lovely smile to Lin Wei. Her eyes, as blue as Yaezakura's, were as bright as the morning star, and there was a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye, which made people feel extremely distressed.

"What are you doing?"

Lin Wei pointed to the herbs on the bed and the small bamboo basket at the head of the bed.

"Oh, this one?"

Lin was a little embarrassed. She turned around, held up the small bowl beside the pillow with both hands, and said with a red face,

"Because I accidentally knocked over the medicine that my sister had worked so hard to make for me this morning, I thought about not letting my sister worry about me anymore. I wanted to make the medicine myself, but my health is really too poor..."

Lin's voice became lower and lower, and then he was silent for a while, sniffed, and raised his head to show Lin Wei an innocent smile.

"But I have thought of another way. Just crush these herbs in a bowl and make them into powder. Then I just need to soak them in water and a bowl of medicine will be ready! This way, I won't have to let my sister work hard to light a fire and boil medicine for me in the future..."

Lin became more and more excited as he spoke, and in order to demonstrate to Lin Wei, he took out a small piece of herbs from the pile on the bed, put it in the bowl, and picked up a small spoon to pound it hard. He was sweating profusely, but he only managed to get a tiny bit of powder off.

Plop! As the food was pounding, a tear dropped into the bowl.

Lin stretched out his sleeve to wipe it, and stubbornly continued to stir the medicine with the small spoon he usually used to take medicine...

"Am I useless?"

Lin's physical strength was very low and her energy was quickly exhausted. She wanted to continue laughing, but she couldn't stop her tears.

"How could that be? Lin is so well-behaved, sensible, and strong. We can't wait to like her..."

Lin Wei reached out to wipe the tears from her face, helped her back to the most comfortable sitting position, then took the small bowl from her hand and put all the herbs on the bed back into the medicine basket.

"Ying asked me to help take care of you, so, can I help you make a bowl of medicine?"

"This... is so rude. How can this be allowed?"

Lin struggled to get up, but Lin Wei easily pushed him back.

"Just think of it as listening to your sister. Let me do it, okay?"

"Well... okay, I'll trouble you then."

Lin thought about it, then nodded hesitantly with a grateful smile.

Lin Wei smiled and rubbed her head, which made Lin unhappy. Then he picked up the medicine basket and walked out of the house.

The pot and stove for cooking medicine were outside the house. I saw them when I just entered the door.

The pottery pot was cleaned very well, but a strong smell of medicine lingered. Lin Wei lit the fire, placed it firmly on top, put in the prepared herbs, added water, and covered the pot.

Then pick up a small fan and carefully control the fire so that it does not go out or burn too fiercely.

"Rin, would you like to tell me about your sister?"

Through the window, Lin Wei and Lin began to chat.

Rin happily told him the story of herself and her sister, telling him how she had been weak since she was young and could not go out, so her sister would pick a branch of cherry blossoms every year and bring it back to her to see. They also agreed that after they recovered from their illness, they would go to the place with the most luxuriant cherry blossoms in Shinano, travel together, and become shrine maidens together...

I also talked about how my sister would go to the forest every day to collect herbs for her in order to treat her illness, often getting herself covered in wounds, but she would come back pretending nothing had happened to cheer me up, play with me, cook herbs for me, and feed me mouthful after mouthful of them...

"I also know that my sister secretly raised some bees, because the glass of water she drank after taking the medicine always tasted sweeter than the water she usually drank... Moreover, I saw several times that my sister often had traces of bee stings. Although she always carefully hid them in front of me, I could always see that her arms, neck, and even forehead were sometimes swollen..."

"I know it hurts. But my sister never gets sad in front of me so that I don't worry. But I can't do anything. I have to pretend that I didn't notice it, so that I can be happy every day and stop my sister from worrying about me..."

As he spoke, Rin's voice became deeper.

"I am so useless. This disease can never be cured. I can only become a burden to my sister. I watch her suffer for me every day..."

"How could that be? Rin is so well-behaved and sensible, how could she be a burden to her sister?"

Lin Wei opened the door, walked back to Lin's bedside with a bowl of steaming hot medicine, picked up a small spoon and fed her one spoonful at a time. Lin drank obediently, one sip at a time.

The medicine was bitter, but Lin's expression did not seem sad at all, as if she was drinking some sweet nectar.

This kid...

Lin Wei felt sad when she looked at the well-behaved and sensible Lin.

After drinking the medicine, Lin Wei helped her rinse her mouth, helped her sit back in her original seat, and then chatted with her and made her happy. Lin also listened carefully and laughed happily.

Who wouldn’t like a girl like this?

As they chatted and laughed, Lin suddenly looked melancholy, turned his head and looked at the windowsill, as if he wanted to see the outside world through the closed window.

"Unfortunately, I can't seem to see the cherry blossoms..."

Lin Wei's heart moved, but before he could open his mouth, the door behind him was pushed open, and a decadent middle-aged man walked in. He was thin and looked old.

"Father...is it time?"

Lin looked calm, first smiling apologetically at Lin Wei, then asking about the man who came in. She was so mature that she didn't look like a little girl at all.

The man walked over slowly, as if he didn't see Lin Wei at all. He walked to the bedside in silence.

"Want to escape from here?"

Lin Wei felt hot in his heart and asked Lin.

"Sorry, I can't listen to your story!"

Lin smiled and shook his head, then made a naughty face at Lin Wei.

"Please, don't tell my sister what happened today!"

"cold……"

The man's voice was hoarse.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Lin stopped looking at Lin Wei and turned to look at his father in confusion.
