When Huang Chen walked out of the path, rows of birds looked at him in unison, as if a mother bird had returned from foraging and saw her baby birds.
Throw this weird thought out of your mind.
Huang Chen walked over with the ingredients in his hand, "I've brought everything, let's get started!"
Mutsu immediately jumped up excitedly, running around Huang Chen and spinning in circles, "Great! Finally I don't have to eat fish anymore!"
Huang Chen burst out laughing, while Jiang Feng's expression was a little strange.
She likes fishing and is good at it. The most common thing people in the shrine eat is fish, and it's a different fish every day.
Grilled fish, stewed fish, fried fish, pan-fried fish...even so, doing it day after day gets a bit boring.
Huang Chen took out some of the leftover braised dishes from lunch, as well as some meats he had just prepared in the kitchen, including chicken legs, pork belly, etc.
There is no electricity in the shrine, and even if a deep well can be used to achieve a certain cooling effect, meat dishes will easily become sour in the summer.
Therefore, Nagato and the others usually don't buy meat, they mainly eat the fish caught by Jiang Feng.
It is said that Matsukaze also thought about raising chickens or pigs in the shrine, but it seems that he has never been successful.
Tiancheng and his friends bought all this pork belly when they went to the city in the morning, and they didn't buy much.
Put the processed meat on the grill and grill it in large chunks without skewers. After a while, you can see the golden skin sizzling with oil and the unique aroma of the meat begins to spread.
There was a happy expression on everyone's face, which came from the joy of eating meat.
After dinner, no one was in a hurry to go back. They chatted lazily. As for Jiang Feng, he took a small stool and ran to the big tree to fish.
The little guys like Mutsu were not used to chatting, so they watched for a while and then ran away to play.
Although we didn’t play in the water, it was still interesting to study the small stones, small creatures, etc. by the river.
Huang Chen sat next to the grill, looking at the sizzling chicken wings being grilled on it, and sighed, "My grilling skills are really getting better and better now."
He clearly remembered that his skills were just average at the beginning, but gradually he seemed to have mastered the trick and subconsciously knew when to turn the meat over and when to apply oil.
The skewers he grills now are of very good quality even if he sells them outside.
"The master's skills are also constantly improving." Tiancheng said with a smile.
Huang Chen nodded. Indeed, on the Yingfeng, he had run to the kitchen many times to barbecue himself.
Especially every time the Kitchen Goddess made barbecue, Huang Chen would be there.
"Maybe this is talent." Huang Chen smiled and distributed the roasted chicken wings to everyone.
Nagato took one, carefully holding the chicken wings on both sides with both hands, and asked in a low voice, "Will we still be at the river tomorrow?"
"Where does Nagato want to go?" Huang Chen raised his eyebrows and understood what the little girl meant.
"I..." Nagato hesitated, and Mutsu suddenly came over and said, "Sister wants to go to the city to play!"
"In the city?" Huang Chen thought for a moment, "It's not far from here. We can go there tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Nagato nodded, "Actually, I can do either."
"Of course." Huang Chen said with a smile, "We finally got off the Windward this time. We can walk around Luonando. Are there any fun places nearby?"
Nagato looked up, a look of bewilderment on his face. Haifeng, standing beside him, said hesitantly, "It's said there's a big lake on the other side of the mountain..."
"On the other side of the mountain?" Huang Chen raised his eyebrows and looked up at the towering mountains. "How long will it take to climb over this mountain?"
"About a day?" Mutsu asked doubtfully. Shanfeng poked his head out and said with a smile, "Shanfeng, it only takes half a day. The lake Shanfeng has been to before was quite large!"
Jiang Feng, who was not far away, twitched his ears and turned to look over. "It's about a day's journey. There is indeed a big lake over there. There is also a camping base by the lake. I've been there before."
Huang Chen was immediately filled with awe. Sure enough, how could there be no waters nearby that the fisherman had not visited?
"It's a nice place, but it's too far away." Huang Chen shook his head and offered his opinion, "How about we climb the mountain? Climb up the mountain to watch the sunrise."
Shanfeng immediately shook his head and said, "The sunrise here is just like that, nothing special to see."
We have lived here for so long and have seen sunrises of all shapes and sizes, and there is nothing special to see.
"Then..." Huang Chen muttered to himself. He really couldn't think of any fun places for the time being.
Mu Ao jumped onto Huang Chen's shoulder from the side, "Commander, Commander, as long as the Commander plays with us, it's fine!"
Nagato nodded secretly on the side. Well done, Mutsu, that's it.
"Oh... Then let's go for a walk in the city tomorrow? The festival hasn't ended yet, right?" Huang Chen nodded and casually made a plan.
Everyone continued to chat, and as time passed, the sky gradually darkened, and everyone began to pack up.
"Cleveland, just put it together. You will probably come again tomorrow." Huang Chen ordered, then took out the waterproof cloth to cover the surroundings.
Everyone went back along the path. Mutsu and others were still running in front. Huang Chen and everyone followed behind. They soon saw the blue-black torii.
Turning around, I saw the dilapidated shrine. It was dark, and the shrine itself was dark, giving it a rather chaotic feel.
Huang Chen was a little scared and looked at Nagato beside him, "I never asked, did you buy this shrine?"
Nagato was a little stunned. "Didn't I tell you? The shrine was here when everyone and I came here."
"Did I tell you?" Huang Chen was a little confused, but then he turned his attention to another question, "In other words, you actually live directly in an abandoned shrine? No wonder it looks so shabby."
Nagato nodded somewhat sheepishly, "At first I wanted to buy a place, but I couldn't afford it..."
Finally found out that she is not a rich woman... Huang Chen nodded. His daughter is almost never short of money. He thought everyone was a rich woman.
"It doesn't matter. We're leaving anyway. Just don't let anyone come out to collect the rent." Huang Chen said with a smile.
The mountain breeze ahead lit up the candles on both sides of the approach and in the worship hall, and the dark shrine suddenly had a touch of warmth.
Nagato nodded and smiled, "That's impossible. This shrine has been abandoned for a long time. Even the statues have been moved away. The previous shrine owner and the shrine maiden may have passed away long ago."
Chapter 374 The first clues
Everyone continued walking. There was no moonlight today. As the sky gradually darkened, only the yellow light of the lanterns created a unique atmosphere around them.
The night in the mountains is a little cool, and there is a gentle breeze blowing on your face.
"This is surprisingly suitable for telling ghost stories." Huang Chen walked in front and laughed.
Nagato shrank his neck and pulled Huang Chen's sleeve from behind, "No."
"Don't want what?" Huang Chen turned his head in confusion.
Nagato puffed out his lips, "Don't tell ghost stories."
"No need to tell." Huang Chen smiled and suddenly looked at Changmen, "Have you ever heard of a story about a man who didn't want to sleep in a double bed?"
A hint of curiosity flashed across Nagato's face, but the next moment his expression changed and he quickly walked towards the worship hall. "I feel like sleeping."
Cleveland was a little helpless beside Huang Chen, "The commander is still like this."
Huang Chen laughed out loud, but in the end it didn't turn into a ghost story, which was a bit regrettable.
There is no electricity in the shrine, and the dim candlelight flickers, making people want to go to bed early. Even people like Mutsu who want to play for a while longer cannot resist the rules of their biological clocks. They yawn and play cards in the living room for a while before lying down sleepily.
In the end, Huang Chen and Tian Cheng brought the little girls back to everyone's room one by one.
Before going to bed, Mu Ao kept clamoring to sleep with Huang Chen, but he fell asleep so quickly.
After sending the little ones back to their rooms, Huang Chen also ran to his room to sleep. He was going to the city tomorrow, so it was not bad to go to bed early today and get up early tomorrow.
……
"Are you the Commander?" A girl with long purple hair standing on the sea surface asked doubtfully. She smiled impudently, "It's the Commander himself who showed up. How careless!"
The turret beside her was rotating, the strange ship had a sci-fi look, and the ferocious muzzle was attacking this side.
"Commander, be careful!" A cry suddenly came from behind, and then a strong force attacked him, hugging him, and the artillery fire seemed to hit him.
……
"This time, it should work." A tall young man held a bottle of bubbling, strange potion in his hand and tentatively raised it to his mouth. "It should work."
……
Huang Chen suddenly woke up from his bed. The sound of rain kept coming. He turned his head and saw that it was raining heavily outside the window.
I got up and walked to the door. When I opened it, the sky was still gloomy. It was probably dawn. The rain was pouring down, hitting the eaves and the ground like stones, making the ground covered with layers of mud.
Huang Chen took a look, returned to his bed, lit a candle, then took out a notebook and began to record his dream from last night.
Last night, I seemed to have dreamed of something extraordinary.
In addition to the usual memories of the shipgirls returning to the port, the battlefield in the fog also seems to have begun to emerge. The purple-haired girl in the dream, if I remember correctly, should be the Purifier, and the shipgirl rushing up to protect her behind her seems to be Nagato.
But which battle was this? Why did he have such a memory?
Huang Chen recalled the details of the dream. Based on the memories he had now obtained, he knew that this was a battle of huge scale.
It seemed as if all of his shipgirls were engaged in battle, while the enemy was faced with numerous Sirens. Huang Chen pondered for a long time, but could not come up with a clear idea. In the end, he could only record everything and prepare to discuss it with Tiancheng and the others later.
Besides that, there is another strange memory.
Huang Chen recalled the mysterious laboratory. He seemed to be mixing some medicine and then swallowing it in one gulp.
What kind of medicine was that? Where did he mix it?
His mind was a mess, but he vaguely felt that this memory was very crucial.
Obviously, this memory is different from the previous ones, and the style is different.
I had clearly recovered some of my memories of the battlefield when I reunited with Fuso before, but they were only scattered fragments. But this time, something with such a huge amount of information appeared.
Huang Chen wrote down everything he could remember in his notebook and then opened the door.
The heavy rain continued and the weather was still gloomy. Huang Chen walked straight towards Tiancheng's room, but suddenly turned back halfway, ran to Nagato's room and knocked on the door gently.
Although Nagato looks small, she is actually a member of the secretary ship and a veteran secretary ship. She can also provide some help in such matters.
"Commander?" Nagato's door opened quickly, and the girl in white pajamas opened the door sleepily and said while yawning.
Huang Chen felt a little sorry. It was so early and it was raining, which was a good time to sleep. It was really inhumane to ask others to get up now.
But when it comes to dreams, if you wait too long, you’ll forget all the details.
"There's no time to explain. Come with me." He took the girl's hand and walked quickly towards Tiancheng's room.
Nagato was dragged along by Huang Chen, with a bewildered look on his face. "Commander, wait a minute, let me wash my face."
The two walked to the door of Tiancheng's room. The door was wide open. Tiancheng, dressed in purple, was sitting behind the table, reading a book.
Hearing footsteps at the door, he looked up and said in surprise, "My Lord, you got up really early today... Um, did you sleep with Lord Nagato yesterday?"
"Amagi, what are you talking about?" Nagato's face suddenly turned red.
Amagi shook his head in surprise, "Isn't that so? And indeed, with Nagato-sama's strength, this shouldn't be the case."
Huang Chen sighed helplessly, "Tiancheng, you should have less contact with companies in the future."
After that, he walked forward, put the notebook in his hand on the table, and looked at the two of them seriously. "I had a very strange dream last night."
Then he recounted last night's dream in detail.
After hearing this, Tiancheng nodded slowly. She had known that there would be some strange things mixed in Huang Chen's recovered memories.
But Nagato was a little surprised, "So you lost your memory?"
"Didn't I tell you yesterday?" Huang Chen was also shocked and couldn't help but rub the girl's pointed fox ears. "I'm telling you. There are some things you need to remember well."
Nagato chuckled, then suddenly said, "Commander, why don't I remember the battle in your dream? I remember fighting the Purifiers a few times, but I've never experienced all the sisters in the harbor fighting together. As for protecting the Master from the Purifiers' fire, I don't have any memory of that either."
Tiancheng also nodded. "This is what we are confused about. And the Master's later dreams, the laboratory and the potions, the Master never had a laboratory when he was in the harbor, right?"
Huang Chen nodded, but he had some guesses that the Chinese medicine in the dream later might explain why he became superhuman.
In the previous dream, he looked at the two girls and asked, "Have you ever felt like you've forgotten something?"
I'm taking a day off today (July 7th).
I was planning to ask for leave at the end of last month, but my application was rejected.
……
Speaking of this update, the research queue is really friendly to people like me who are not very hardcore. And they even released Donghuang research.
