?Chapter 63: The dream at the beginning ([-])

At the beginning of the new year, with the bells from the mountain temple, the new year also kicked off.

Sakihime and Honey Bug were preparing breakfast in the kitchen early in the morning. For Sakihime, it was a very happy thing to be able to spend the New Year in peace.

Breakfast is steamed buns, but there are some differences between Japanese steamed buns and Chinese steamed buns, because Japanese steamed buns have fillings, which are more like Chinese steamed buns.

Liu Xue likes to eat stuffed chestnuts, so Sakihime made a lot, and there are some other wagashi.

Breakfast was served on the dining table in the hall, Shi Hua and the others were already awake, and Ya Shu also came to eat breakfast in a beautiful Furisode kimono.

Ya Shu sat down, looked around but did not see Liu Xue, and asked, "Where is Liu Xue?"

Ah Yan took a steamed bun and said, "I'm probably still sleeping."

Remembering that he went out last night without even finishing the Red and White Song Concert, and then Xia Li came over and said that Liu Xue was not feeling well and had to rest first.Yashu was a little worried, so he got up and said, "I'll go and have a look."

"Hey." Ah Yan hurriedly stopped her. "Don't go, lest you see scenes that are not suitable for children... Hiss..." As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Yan looked at Saki Ji aggrievedly, just now Saki Ji pinched him hard.

Saki Ji said: "Let me go and have a look." She took a few steamed buns on a plate and put two bowls of porridge on the tray, and was about to go when she saw Liu Xue and Xia Li walking into the room Come.

Liuxue was wearing a little thin, just a thin sweater and a scarf around her. Her complexion was a little pale, her eyes were dull, and she didn't seem to have slept well.It was the first time for them to see Liu Xue like this, and it gave people a kind of - delicate and pitiful feeling.

Xia Li changed into a plain Hanfu, wearing a gray overcoat, her waist-beating white hair was tied up with a rope, and she held a hat in her hand.

Saki Ji put down the tray in her hand and said with a smile, "Happy New Year, here are the red envelopes." Pingping stepped forward and took out two red envelopes from her sleeve, one for Xia Li and one for Liuxue.

Xia Li was a little dazed after receiving the red envelope. After living for more than 4000 years, this was the first time she received a red envelope.Liuxue took the red envelope as a thank you, and said some auspicious words.

At this moment, everyone noticed that Liu Xue's voice was hoarse.Seeing Liuxue's pale face at first, and now her voice hoarse, everyone looked at Xia Li, with the words clearly written in their eyes—restraint!

Xia Li: "..."

He helped Liuxue sit down and helped him to serve gruel. Seeing that everyone was still looking at him, he was a little unhappy, but he quickly hid his displeasure, and explained instead: "Last night, Liuxue was a little uncomfortable. It's a cold."

wind chill?

Only Shi Hua reacted first, "It's just a cold."

Sakihime was a little worried, and helped him put a steamed bun in the small dish in front of him, and asked with concern: "It's okay, don't go to Kiyomizu Temple for a while."

Liuxue shook her head and said with a smile: "I'm fine, I still want to go to the temple to draw lots to see my luck."

A cold is not a serious disease, nor is it minor.Sakihime persuaded a few more words, but Liu Xue still insisted on going, so she had to give up.

After breakfast, everyone went to Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto, bought some small items, donated merit, made a wish, and went to draw lots.

The lottery of many temples is the same, there are more auspicious lottery than unlucky lottery.If you draw the big one, the chance of this... is indeed a bit small.

Xia Li didn't believe this, so she didn't go to draw lots, but looked curiously at the jugglers at the side.The little monkey seemed to sense the beast's breath on Xia Li's body, a little scared, and hid behind its master.Seeing the little monkey trembling, the onlookers didn't know what was going on, and thought it was because the master hadn't trained it well.

The master was a little anxious, and knocked on the gong, but the little monkey held onto his trouser legs tightly and did not let go.Seeing this, the owner wanted to raise the gong-beating stick to hit the disobedient monkey.

Originally, Xia Li didn't care much about these things. This world is a world where the weak eat the strong. At most, the little monkey was beaten twice at most, and it wouldn't be like a wild monkey in the mountains, who would die if he didn't pay attention.It's just... Seeing the pitiful eyes of that little monkey, his heart softened inexplicably.

He threw the red envelope given by Sakihime into the bowl, then turned and left.The owner was taken aback when he saw the red envelope, but he didn't hit the little monkey, but the little monkey jumped up and down again because of Xia Li's departure, and even turned several somersaults, eliciting applause.

Xia Li returned to Liuxue's side, everyone was holding paper slips in their hands, and by looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, one could probably guess what was written on the paper slips.

Ah Yan cried and said sullenly: "Why am I a little murderer!" You must know that it is indeed unlucky for the big Chinese New Year to draw a lucky lottery.

Yashu was happy holding the Daji, Sakihime took a look at the lottery paper and put it away, Tianyi and the others followed Sakiji to draw the lottery.Ah Yan quietly came to Tianyi's side, peeked at the words on her money paper, was amused, and said: "Ah, you are a big murderer!"

Ah Yan's mouth is cheap, and everyone looked over at this roar.

Saki Ji glared at him, and then said to the sky: "If you believe it, you will have it; if you don't believe it, you will not."

Tianyi smiled, and said indifferently: "I'm not a human being, so these signings are useless."

Xia Li looked at Liuxue standing aside, holding a lottery in her hand, with a puzzled expression on her face.

Xia Li asked: "What did you smoke?"

Liu Xue spread out the lottery paper in her hand, and everyone came forward to look curiously.Seeing this, they were all stunned.

blank.

Not a single word.

After a while, Yashu asked softly, "Is it the monk's mistake?"

Shi Hua also felt this possibility, and suggested: "Why don't you draw it again."

Liu Xue shook her head, tightly held the blank lottery in her hand, and smiled, but the smile looked a bit bitter on her pale face.

"No draw, this lottery is very good."

yes, very good.It's blank, nothing.Liuxue found that she seemed to be just like this signed paper, blank, with nothing left.

When he woke up in the morning, he found that his memory seemed to be slowly disappearing. He couldn't even remember what happened a month ago. He seemed to only remember that he was back in Japan, where his mother and father were there, and... He looked back at Xia Li, that beautiful figure that is not stained with mortal dust, made his heart shrink, and he felt a little pain.

Seeing Liuxue looking at him, Xia Li smiled at him, looked down at the blank paper in his hand, and smiled again, this smile was actually a little charming inside.

He stretched out his right hand, gently clamped the blank lottery paper in his hand with his index finger and middle finger, and took the lottery paper in front of him, bit the tip of his index finger, squeezed out two drops of blood, and then wiped it on the blank lottery paper. Write an auspicious character.

Then he handed the signing paper to Liuxue, and said, "No, the auspicious signing written by God Tu Shan is much more useful than theirs."

Ah Yan and the others looked at each other, as if this was indeed the case, after all, it was written "by hand" by the gods.

Liuxue took the paper, looked at the wet blood, and asked, "Is there Tu Shan here?"

Xia Li: "..."

Because Liuxue was not feeling well, she went back after playing for a while.When I got to the door of the house, I saw a girl in the form of a firefly rushing over.

"Master Sakihime is not well."

The corners of everyone's eyes twitched. The three words that people hate to hear the most during the Chinese New Year are definitely——not good.

The girl ran up to Sakihime, panting, "No...no...not good...ok...big...senior officer..."

Saki Ji patted her on the back lightly, and said, "Take a break first, and speak slowly."

The girl caught her breath and stopped stammering, and said: "It's not good, the high official is here."

Sakihime said, "Sir?"

Although the girl didn't stutter, she couldn't think clearly. After listening for a long time, everyone was still at a loss, so they had to go back and have a look.

When I arrived at the door of the house, I saw an Audi in front of the door. According to A Yan's visual inspection, this car was estimated to be worth 100 million yuan.

As soon as she entered the door, Mi Chong came out to greet her. Together with Mi Chong was a man in his 30s wearing a suit and leather shoes.

When the man saw Sakihime and the others, he first greeted Sakihime and said long time no see, and then bowed slightly to them. Maybe he knew that Ayan and the others were Chinese. He introduced himself in Chinese: "My name is Kenta Ono, A servant of His Majesty the Emperor."

Hearing the word "Emperor", Shi Hua's face was a bit distasteful, after all, there was a bloody death before his eyes.

Kenta Ono also knew that he was not very popular here, so he smiled, entered the room with him, and then explained why he came today.

"Jiro Sato's family, old and young, all died violently at home last night." Kenta Ono said. "The police are here too, and they didn't find anything, but they..." As he spoke, he thought of what he had just seen, felt his stomach churn, and felt a little nauseous. It took him a long time to calm down, and he continued. "It shouldn't be as simple as artificial. Lord Sakihime also knows that Mrs. Sayuri, the granddaughter-in-law of Sato Jiro, is Princess Sachiko's niece and has a close relationship with the princess. The death of Mrs. Sayuri has hit the princess hard this time, so I hope Mrs. Sakihime can go and see it." look."

"Jiro Sato." Sakihime thought about the name. "Somewhat familiar." It's just a little familiar, not familiar, and Sakihime didn't care, it was just that they all lived in Kyoto and knew each other.

On the contrary, when Kenta Ono heard that Sakihime said it was familiar, his complexion was a little uneasy, he heheed twice, and started drinking tea.

Ah Yan looked at the royal courtier quite playfully, and always felt that there should be some things left unsaid.

It's just that it involves non-human cases, so Sakihime still has to go and have a look.Ah Yan was worried and followed all the way. The Yashu family was originally a royal family, so naturally they wanted to join in the fun.Originally let Liu Xue rest, who knew that Liu Xue could not fly away.

At the beginning, they all listened to Ono Kenta, no one was interested in Liu Xue who was sitting on the side, only Xia Li found that when Liu Xue heard the name "Sato Jiro", her body trembled slightly, and only for a moment, she returned to her original appearance.

this name...

Suddenly the sleeves moved, and when he looked down, he saw Liu Xue pulling his sleeves, and said to him, "Sister, are you going all the way?"

At this time, Xia Li dared not leave Liu Xue alone, so she nodded to her classmates.

Sato's house is not far from Abe's house, but it's not too close either. Ah Yan excitedly wanted to take the Audi with more than 100 million yuan, but was dragged back by Sakihime.

"Don't forget, the rich man's wine and meat stinks."

Ah Yan trembled, and sat in the car behind with Saki Ji.

Liu Xue walked to the car door and turned her head slightly.

"Look at what?" Xia Li asked.

Liu Xue said: "The snow... has melted."

The snow stopped this morning, and I seem to know that it is the New Year, the sun is not bad, the temperature has picked up a bit, and there is some spring breath.

Only the blooming red plums in the courtyard told them that it was still winter.

Liuxue smiled lightly, as if she was talking to Xia Li, and also seemed to be talking to herself: "Snow, it finally melted..."

Xia Li frowned and held his hand tightly.

Cold, without any temperature, and can't feel any temperature.

Xia Li was startled, but seeing Liu Xue's eyes move, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, he couldn't feel Liu Xue's body temperature, just like holding the hand of a puppet.
