Afrika Seimei and his star company

"Boom!"

A small stone fell into the dark green deep pool, and the calm pool water rippled in circles. After a while, the circle of ripples slowly closed, swallowing the stone into his stomach.

A little girl squatted by the pool, staring at the water in a daze.She rested her chin in the crook of her arm, revealing only a pair of bright eyes—the eyes were large and beautiful, but covered with a thin layer of mist.

She picked up another small stone and threw it into the pool.Anyone who came to the pond water swallowed it without hesitation.

"It would be nice if...he was still alive."

She buried her head in her arms and sobbed with trembling shoulders.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

She heard the rustling of the grass beside her, and she turned her head to take a look—it was a beautiful fox sitting beside her.

She lowered her head immediately: "It's okay."

"Obviously something has happened." The fox opened her arms and lowered his head to look at her.She hastily turned her head to the other side: "It's not pretty."

"No." The fox smiled. He pinched her chin and turned her head. "Your eyes are like the dawn sun—have you ever seen a red morning sun?"

"No," she said quietly, "I don't like the sun."

"You should see it." The fox opened the folding fan in his hand and looked at the sky with satisfaction, "You should go to the top of the mountain and see the flaming sun rising up, and the sun is spreading from the horizon. , lighting up the entire Heian-kyo, this world just woke up..."

"No, I'm dead. There's nothing to see." She said, lowering her head and staring at her own reflection in the dark pool—her face in the pool was pale, haggard, and her eyes were lifeless.

The fox looked down at her in disbelief, and then turned his head to look at the reflection in the pool. He suddenly covered the girl's eyes with his hand, and said, "It's dark at night, no matter how you take it, it won't look good. Tomorrow, just tomorrow , I’m still here waiting for you, let’s watch the sunrise together.”

"No." The girl opened the fox's hand.

"You have to look." The fox was a little annoyed, "You in the mirror are not real at all, you should look at the morning sun to know how charming your eyes are."

"Don't lie to me, everyone says I'm not good-looking..."

"You are a puppy." The fox hit her on the head with the fan in his hand.

The girl blinked at the fox and asked suspiciously, "Aren't you a puppy?"

"Bah bah!" The fox hugged his big fluffy tail to the front, "Do dogs have such a big tail? I'm obviously a fox."

The girl stretched out her hand timidly, her hand paused in mid-air, and finally landed on the fox's tail.

"Wow, so soft!" She smiled through tears.

"Then... see you tomorrow!"

"Well! See you tomorrow!"

The fox stretched out his hand to cover her face, wiped away her tears with his thumb, and said with a smile, "The morning sun after the thick fog cleared is very beautiful."

"what?"

"Well, when I passed through the woods just now, I saw two boys, one was carrying a coffin, and the other was thin and small. They seemed to be looking for you to come home. Go back quickly, and don't make them wait."

"Ah, that's my brother!" The girl stood up and patted her clothes, "I'm leaving! See you tomorrow!"

"okay, see you tomorrow."

The girl ran a few steps, turned around and asked, "Yes, what's your name?"

"Fox." He smiled.

"Okay! My name is Sister Tiaotiao, Uncle Yaohu, see you tomorrow!"

The demon fox smiled and waved to her, watching her disappear into the woods.His smile disappeared suddenly, and he slammed the fan in his hand on the ground: "Uncle, you're a bitch, he's very young!"

"Ah!" Sister Tiaotiao sneezed.

"What's the matter?" the fox turned around and asked.

Sister Tiaotiao smiled embarrassedly: "I...have never come out so early...it's a bit cold."

The demon fox let out a soft "ah".

Sister Tiaotiao immediately explained: "I...I don't usually go out, my brothers say it's too dangerous outside...Although we are dead, they still don't allow me to go out when it's dark... ..." She spoke softer and softer, until finally she lost her voice.

"Then you usually..."

"When it's cloudy, the sky is a bit dark, people won't be scared by my pale face, then you can go out and play for a while..." Sister Tiaotiao smiled cautiously, "I used to like basking in the sun very much. Yes...but...I'm already dead, I will scare others..."

"Scare others?" Yaohu raised his eyebrows.

"Um……"

Yaohu bent down and touched Tiaotiao's sister's head, and said with a smile: "Such a beautiful girl, what nonsense are those people talking about! If anyone still talks about you like that in the future, just tell me, and I will teach him a lesson!"

"Really...really?"

"Really!" Yaohu said, turned around and stretched his tail into Tiaotiao's sister's arms, "Holding my tail, you won't be cold. Follow me!"

"Yeah!" Sister Tiaotiao smiled brightly, and she hugged the fox's big tail tightly, "Thank you uncle!"

"Don't call me uncle, or I won't let you hug me." Yaohu said, trying to snatch his tail back.

"Uncle Yaohu! Hehe!" Sister Tiaotiao rubbed her cheek against the tail of Yaohu and hugged her even tighter.

"Fox?" Kappa frowned.

Sister Tiaotiao sat by the lake with her legs crossed and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Hmm..." Kappa rubbed his chin, "He caused a lot of trouble here before..."

"Ah? Impossible..."

"Miss Li Yujing was almost cheated by him! This guy is just talking sweet words, and he only tricks the big girl and the little daughter-in-law, and arrests them to do bad things!"

"Impossible, impossible..." Sister Tiaotiao shook her head, repeating the three words "impossible" in a daze along the way.

"Why don't you clamor to go out to play today?" Brother Tiaotiao shook his younger sister who was lying on the bed, "Tonight there will be a lantern festival in Heianjing, let's go together!"

"No..." Sister Tiaotiao turned her back to her brother and closed her eyes tightly.

"This time the two of us will accompany you, you can go out to play at night!"

Just as he was talking, Tiaotiao's younger brother opened the door and came in: "Hey, do you know a male fox?"

"What?" Brother Tiaotiao turned around and asked, "Where did the fox come from here?"

"Sitting on a rock not far from here, I saw him when I went out yesterday, and he is still there today, holding a fan, very elegant."

"I don't know, maybe I'm looking at the scenery. Literati, they are all sour... Hey, let's go to look at the lights tonight!"

"Okay!" Brother Tiaotiao replied happily.

"Hmm." Sister Tiaotiao said softly.

The lantern festival in Heian-kyo is very lively.The streets are bustling with people, and laughter is everywhere.The streets are full of colorful lights, and even the rivers are full of flickering lanterns.There are a few palace lanterns hanging on the painted boat in the distance, and ethereal singing sounds from the boat.

Elder brother Tiaotiao was so excited that he jumped up and down all the way, so that his younger brother could only hug the puppy Tomato and follow closely, apologizing to the pedestrian who was accidentally hit by the coffin along the way.Sister Tiaotiao lowered her head and walked slowly at the end, her heart was in chaos, she felt that she was really dead, she no longer had a soul, she just walked forward mechanically.

When she looked up again, the two brothers had long since disappeared.She suddenly panicked, she stood where she was, looking around anxiously, trying to find her brother in the crowd.

"Wow, whose family girl is this? She's so ugly!"

"Hey, go away, she's so ugly! Who's going to embarrass her by showing her face!"

Sister Tiaotiao's heart beat suddenly and violently. She felt that she was alone and helpless, flustered, helpless, wronged, and all the sour taste came to her heart at once.She squatted on the ground suddenly and burst into tears: "It's not what I want! I don't want to die either!"

Suddenly a familiar voice came from my ear——

"Hey hey hey! Is that you? Huh? Just now you said she was not good-looking? Yoyo, let me see how good-looking you are!" Sister Tiaotiao heard the sound of slapping her face, and every word was accompanied by The sound of slapping the face, "Who gave you the face, huh? Your ancestors want to know that you are so ugly, the coffin boards are lifted! You also said that others are ugly, you have a thick skin! You can touch your face across the Pacific Ocean !"

"How do you beat someone, a scholar? Do you look like a scholar?"

"Ouch, I almost forgot about you! Who is it that shames you? Did you go out without looking in the mirror? Oh, I can't blame you, your mirror must be cracked when you see you, right?"

"You, you, you! Too much bullying!" The two men scolded angrily, "Who are you, are you talking about us?"

"I am the most handsome in Heianjing, why didn't I say anything about you?"

"Sister!" Brother Tiaotiao and younger brother Tiaotiao shouted from a distance, and they squeezed through the crowd and ran to her sister, "Are you all right? Why are you crying? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's our fault!"

"It's okay," Sister Tiaotiao wiped her tears and stood up with a smile, "It's okay, let's go home."

When Brother Tiaotiao and Brother Tiaotiao came home in the middle of the night, they were out of breath. Brother Tiaotiao rolled up his sleeves and said angrily, "It turned out that the fox made her unhappy, and dared to come to our house at night." The door is blocked? Beat him up to see if he is honest or not."

"Hush!" Brother Tiaotiao motioned his brother to keep his voice down, but when he raised his head, his sister looked straight at them.

"Did you hit him?" Sister Tiaotiao cried anxiously.

"Yeah, we've all heard it! Don't worry, brother will vent your anger on you! I could almost pull his tail off! Well... If it doesn't feel good in the hand, I'm a bit reluctant..."

"Brother, stop talking!"

Sister Tiaotiao cried and shouted: "You misunderstood him! The kappa told me today that Uncle Yaohu is a good man! Where has he gone?"

"Up... up the mountain..."

Sister Tiaotiao pushed away her brothers and rushed out of the house.She ran wildly along the way, the night wind whistling in her ears, and the fallen leaves under her feet were trampled, making a horrible cracking sound.It was so dark that there was not even a moon in the sky, no stars, only gloomy clouds.She had never come out so late by herself before, she was shaking, her heart clenched tightly, she didn't know whether it was because of the cold or fear.

After running for some time, a little light appeared on the originally dark mountain road, and she saw a purple figure at the end of the mountain road.

"Uncle Yaohu!" she yelled and threw herself into Yaohu's arms, "I found you!"

Yaohu held Sister Tiaotiao in his arms, touched her head gently, and smiled softly: "Okay, don't cry, look, the sun is coming up..." Sister Tiaotiao tilted her head , Peeping at the scenery behind the demon fox.

Yaohu picked up Tiaotiao's younger sister and let her sit on his shoulders.

On the horizon at the end of the sky, a fiery red sun is slowly rising, and the red golden light slowly extends from a distance, illuminating the entire Heian-kyo at the foot of the mountain.
