[One day, a traveler visited here.

At that time, the world was just like it is now, with constant conquests and endless wars from various countries.

This traveler came from an ancient ninja clan and accidentally entered this land protected by the gods while performing a mission to infiltrate another country.

The local residents did not reject him because of his outsider status. Instead, they took him to visit the place and arranged food and lodging for him. Their kindness even made travelers feel scared.

He was amazed by the wealth and friendliness of the residents here, but he also sensitively concealed his identity as a ninja and asked the old man who guided him: "I have traveled to various countries, and I have never seen such a rich place, and I have never heard of it. News, why is this? Where is the origin of His Highness the Daimyo here?"

The old man smiled and said in a rather proud tone: "We don't have a big name, everything is under the control of the gods."

"A god?" The ninja thought that the people here were very rare and strange, and they might have been deceived by the market's tricks, so they didn't take it seriously: "Which god is it?"

"She is the goddess in charge of the night." The old man took the ninja back to his home. When the ninja was shocked by the jade, gold and silver that could be seen everywhere in the old man's house, he reminded the ninja, "Under the protection of the goddess, we do not need to endure hunger and poverty, but I was also warned that I must abide by the rules set by the goddess.”

The ninja came to his senses from the splendid mansion and asked: "What rules?"

The old man replied: "First, no ninjas can be received. If any ninjas are found, kill them."

The ninja was shocked and became even more suspicious of the identity of the god who ruled here: "What about the second article?"

"Nothing that is illegal or illegal is allowed. You are not allowed to stay outside after sunset. You must go back indoors."

"What kind of strange rule is this?" Ninja wondered. He had been here for a while. When he looked out, the sky had burned out all the colors of the day and became dim. "What if I don't have time to come back before sunset?"

"He will never come home again."

There are no burning lamps in the room, and fist-sized orbs are arranged on the lamp stand, emitting brilliant brilliance.

The old man sat in front of the case, and the cold glow of the jewelry illuminated the old man's face. He greeted the ninja with a smile: "The guest must be hungry, so let's eat something first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw several normal-sized paper figures wearing makeup and holding food trays walking into the room.

At first sight of the paper man, the ninja could not help but feel wary, but he found no trace of other ninjas. In confusion, several paper figures filled the table in front of the ninja - seven kinds of meals with different flavors, a steamed carp, a pork leg marinated with spices and then smoked and grilled, a bowl with pork bones. And a thick soup cooked with several kinds of fungi, a plate of fresh and crisp cabbage that has just been boiled in boiling water...

Taro's sudden cry interrupted your act of naming the dishes.

Your voice paused as you told the story, and I don’t know why he suddenly cried.

Ah Cai didn't cry. She was confused and aggrieved: "Sister, I don't know why, but I'm suddenly hungry."

"Why does that old man eat pork? Isn't he not short of food? If he is so rich, isn't he afraid of being polluted?"

"What are the seven kinds of rice? Why do they eat so much?"

Taro whined, "I'm so hungry."

"What does pork taste like?"

"..."

A Cai's voice became more and more crying, and you felt that you couldn't control the situation.

You turned over and lay flat on your back, your ears buzzing, staring at the beam in deep thought.

——I killed people in my previous life, but I will take care of children in this life.

Finally, your mother couldn't stand it anymore and came over to take over the two crying cubs. She even patted your head with a hint of punishment, apparently because she thought you were naughty.

You have no love in life.

When you go to work with dark circles under your eyes the next day, boss A Cong asks you what's wrong.

You were puzzled and told Boss Acong what happened last night, and then asked: "I just want to tell a beautiful bedtime story, why are you crying?"

"..." Boss A Cong was speechless.

"Are you hungry when you were telling a story?" He probably thought about it for a while and then asked again.

You: "Of course I'm hungry, so I thought about a lot of food. Wouldn't it be nice if I could dream about it?"

Boss A Cong's eyes flickered: "Have you ever eaten pork?"

"How is that possible?" You waved your hand and flatly denied, "I just thought about it."

"If you can't eat, why can't you think?"

Boss Acong seemed to believe what you said. He nodded and asked, "Why don't you welcome ninjas?"

"You don't like ninjas?"

You are confused: "How dare I not like ninjas... No, why should I like ninjas?"

"Ninjas are not welcome...maybe because gods and ninjas have a grudge?" You then answer the first question.

"Why are you so unsure?" The boss paused and then asked, "Is there really a god?"

"There should be some. Besides, it's just a bedtime story that I made up. The rest of it was interrupted by Taro and the others before it was even finished -" you answered smoothly, and then looked at Boss Acong in surprise. , Qi said, "Boss, why are you asking so many questions?"

The boss looked at you so steadily that you reached out to touch it thinking there was something dirty on your face, and then he turned his head expressionlessly.

you:?

That night you had a nightmare, dreaming that Boss A Cong withheld your wages with a straight face. You were so angry that you reported Boss A Cong to the execution center, but he slandered him as an enemy spy. The execution office wanted to torture you, so you were so angry that you awakened Mu Dun, turned the execution office upside down, and then forced the boss A Cong to pay back your wages.

When you wake up and feel that you have no pursuit in the dream, that is Mu Dun! Just use it to collect debts?

The more you think about it, the more you can't sleep, which directly leads to the heavier black circles under your eyes when you go to work again.

"Good morning, Xiaoxue."

When you entered the store, Boss A Cong looked at the bruises under your eyes and asked kindly: "Are you telling bedtime stories to your brothers and sisters again?"

You shook your head wildly: "No."

After what happened the night before yesterday, your mother took away your right to speak at night.

When you just said, "Taro, Acai, let me tell you a bedtime story.", your mother directly told you to sleep.

After getting the answer, Boss A Cong stopped talking to you and lowered his head to caress the cat seriously.

you:?

You throw yourself into the work of the new day. After all the customers in the store left, you looked at the store manager who had his eyes closed and was concentrating, left the counter, walked to the place where Chinese books and song books were placed, and picked up a more popular history book.

From aesthetics to aesthetics too quickly, I have almost finished learning the correspondence. Considering that her goal is to enter the castle and serve the nobles, you'll have to make up for this - not only for her, but for yourself as well. Because in-depth study of Chinese song collections requires understanding the history of this world, so as not to fail to understand the allusions behind the meaning of these words.

Usually when you read the books in the bookstore, Boss A Cong would just turn a blind eye and pass by, but today he suddenly stopped you.

"What are you doing?" His tone was somewhat dissatisfied.

You feel something is wrong: "...reading a book?"

Boss A Cong opened his mouth, as if he was about to say something, but suddenly closed his mouth, snorted with a straight face, stood up, hugged the cat and went out.

you:?

You looked down at the "Five Hundred Years of Troubles - Scroll of Fire" in your hand, feeling a little hesitant.

Should I watch it?

If you read it, will you be fired tomorrow for entering the store with your left foot?
