The climate of Izumo, which is near the sea, is humid and warm all year round. Even in the coldest winter, the temperature rarely falls below zero.

This zero degree was measured by A'Du based on his body sense, and the supporting evidence came from the amount of snowfall in winter. A thin layer of frost and snow was just enough to cover the eaves and woods, embellishing the rolling mountains and the ground.

In spring, the snow accumulates into streams, and in summer, with the abundant rain, the greenery in the forest covers the sky, the lighter green is illuminated by the sun, and the darker green is covered with moss. Green fills the eyesight, and the forest occupied by one color cannot accommodate the brilliance of summer flowers, so those bright colors can only find another way out, find another way enthusiastically, and transfer to the land where human beings live.

Like most modern people, A'Du doesn't know much about plants and flowers, he can count on two hands that can name them.

In summer, when going to the beach, you need to pass through the sea of ​​flowers. Blue flowers and white lilies of the valley are crowded together, golden phoenix flowers are overflowing with liquid gold, and crimson summer flowers are woven into a gorgeous flower wall. The heavy flowers almost hang down to the ground.

The summer air is filled with a sweet smell, exuding the smell of being baked by the sun.

It's a pity that as a cat, I don't like those flowers very much. The heavy pollen always makes it sneeze again and again, and it can't maintain its usual stable and dignified appearance.

Cats don’t like pollen, and they don’t like water, but where Ma Cang Ye Wang goes, Gu Zong also goes. It took him a few years to get used to the sea, and he can be an independent cat when he walks by the sea Action, instead of being held in the arms of King Ma Cangye all the time.

Stocks have their own moments of glory, just as humans have human societies, and local wild cats have their own rules.

In A'Du's imagination, the local wild cats had an intelligence network to communicate with each other. In the first few years, the wild cats that appeared on the fence might have been just out of curiosity. A place where local cats and foreign cats fight.

As a cat from Heian-kyo, and also the cat of Great Onmyoji Asakura Yewang, Gu Zong has always been very polite.

As long as others, ah no, other cats don't provoke, it will never attack, even if it has to, it has always been very measured.

Standing on the edge of the wall was a lean gray cat, its back so arched and its fur so shaggy that it looked like a blanket laid sideways.

The two cats are only a few steps apart, like Zorro, no, like a European gangster in the [-]th century, and no, like a Jianghu master meeting at the top of the martial arts world, staring intently at each other's every move.

The tense atmosphere was on the verge of breaking out, and A'Du was very nervous, repeatedly calling Ma Cangye Wang in his heart to come and watch the cats fight.

- Come on! !

to start.

As soon as her heartbeat fell, the ferocious and shrill cat meows rolled together like a ball of wool. She held a small plate of pickles handed over by Ma Nu, and ate nervously while staring intently.

A'Du also doesn't know how a creature like a cat can do it. When it fights, it's like a hot wheel. Puff after puff of cat fur is flying all over the sky, flying down from the wall like gray snow .

Ma Cangye Wang who came out of the study came a bit late. The duel ended faster than usual. The two cats who were entwined and inseparable suddenly separated. Wanting to stick it on his head, he let out a few vicious breaths, jumped off the fence, and ran away.

Stock Zong didn't chase after it, it squatted down on the wall again, and combed its hair slowly.

Then, it also jumped down from the fence, with its tail raised high like a flag, and it reservedly enjoyed the plate of dried fish that A'Du pushed over.

"Alas," she sighed, "you missed the best part."

Ma Cang Ye Wang smiled without saying a word, and stroked Gu Zong's back. The cat's tail, which was already erected high, seemed to be up again.

"How is the age of a cat converted to the age of a human?"

The soft cat's tail dangled in front of his eyes, A'Du didn't hold back, and stretched out his hand to touch it lightly.

According to the age of human beings, the stock market is no longer a kitten, and the focus is on the boundary between middle age and old age.

As if hearing what she was thinking, Gu Zong, who was eating dried fish, raised his head and glanced at her.

"Don't worry." Ma Cang Ye Wang scratched the tabby cat's chin, and the bear claw necklace hanging around Gu Zong's neck shook accordingly. It didn't take long for Gu Zong to lean his head into Ma Cang Ye Wang's palm, whirring narrowed his eyes.

A'Du knew what King Ma Cang Ye meant when he said don't worry.

But there is always a difference between a living creature and a soul that has left its body after death.

Even if she knew that Gu Zong would stay by her side as a spirit body, if that day really came, she still couldn't help crying.

King Ma Cang Ye: "You think too far."

"...You think further, don't you?"

Otherwise, he wouldn't have hung the bear claw infused with his own strength as a medium around the neck of the stock sect from the very beginning.

He smiled and said, "Ah, it seems that there is no way to refute it."

Every time he showed such a smile, A'Du would feel itchy, because it was so itchy, she couldn't help but rush over and push the smiling onmyoji to the ground, as if she wanted to bite him.

With that in mind, she did.

When she rushed over, Ma Cang Ye Wang skillfully hugged her waist.

"caught you."

A'Du hugged his neck, kissed the corner of his mouth restrainedly, as if she wanted to eat the smile on his lips, so as to calm down the sudden itch in her heart.

"Well, you caught me."

Ma Cang Yewang's demeanor and tone made it hard not to suspect that he did it on purpose.

He knew what to do to get her to react.

"Do you want to go to the beach today?"

"think."

A'Du once asked King Ma Cang Ye if he ever encountered a situation where he couldn't read minds.

He said yes, but that was many years ago, when he was a yin and yang student under Yu Mao Zhonggu, he was unable to read Yu Mao Zhonggu's inner voice.

"The ability of vision doesn't work on someone stronger than me."

A'Du: "What about now?"

"There are no such people anymore."

As the years passed, King Ma Cang Ye's vision became stronger and stronger as his strength increased.

In order to determine how wide the mind-reading range of Spirit Vision is, A'Du will re-measure it every year.

At the beginning, it was just a game-like way of playing. She asked Ma Cang Ye Wang to stand by the sea and not move. She picked up a lot of shells and dead branches, ran forward a few feet, turned around and asked him in her heart:

"Can you hear me now?"

The answer sounded from the bottom of my heart: "Yes."

So A'Du put down a shell at that place, and ran forward a few feet.

"now what?"

Ma Cang Ye Wang sent a voice from his heart: "It's still possible."

The more shells were put, the farther she ran.

When he ran forty feet away, A'Du stopped and turned around again.

"Can you hear my heart?"

"can hear."

The standard for a mansion in the Heian period was forty feet wide and forty feet long.This was just her original guess. Ma Cang Yewang's mind-reading ability is estimated to be able to cover at least one mansion.

But that was speculation years ago.

Should be farther now—farther—

A'Du put down the dead branch and continued to walk forward.

The ebb and flow of the vast expanse of blue ocean, the snow-white sandy beach glistens in the sun, and the figure of Ma Cang Ye Wang standing in place keeps shrinking. Later, she can no longer see the expression on his face clearly, and can only see him in the sea breeze. Like the hunting clothes of white birds flying.

She used too many repeated questions, so she started to change the way of confirmation.

In her mind, she turned up the Japanese song in the Manyoshu: "The blue waves of the vermilion vines, the bottom of the sea is clear."

"There are many white stones, but I see them as pearls and jade."

……

"The mountains are strong, but the sea is deep."

"It's the only mountain, so it's firm."

"It's only the sea, so it's the abyss."

"People are empty flowers, the world is like floating smoke."

Select a few from the Manyo Collection, and also select a few poems from the Tang Dynasty.

Later, when she got tired of memorizing poems, she began to test the other party's mathematics. Although in the past few years, she had taught the other party almost everything she could teach him. Until recently, she was at the end of her wits and could only start to return to basics.

"Thirty-seven?"

"21."

"Nine nine?"

"81."

……

"Romeo, Romeo..."

Then she repented: "Let's forget about this."

"makes sense."

……

Every year, she goes further than last year.

The coastline grows year by year, the vast ocean reflects the brilliance of the setting sun, and the gorgeous sunset falls on the sea, and the boundless sea seems to be burning. The burning fire starts from the place where the sea and the sky meet, and spreads all the way to the soft white sand.

The evening wind blew, and her arms were empty at some point.

The pace got slower and slower, slower and slower, and finally came to a complete stop.

A'Du put down the last shell and turned around.

"...King Ye?"

She was a little afraid to hear the reply.

The sea water dyes the beach with the afterglow of the setting sun, and there is only the sound of the evening wind blowing across the cheeks.

Maybe he didn't hear her heart, maybe he heard it, so he chose not to speak out.

She ran back.

The sun sank towards the sea, and the last ray of light was almost dazzling, the sky and the earth were shrouded in the same color, and so was the figure waiting in place.

She ran to the only person in this era who spoke the same language as her.

No, it should be said that they have learned her language.

Ma Cangye Wang stepped forward at the last moment and held her in his arms ahead of time.

The heart was still pounding in his body, A'Du raised his head, his face was full of worry.

"Are you alright?"

Over the years, his strength has grown stronger and stronger.

Correspondingly, the scope of the passive mind-reading ability of spiritual vision is getting wider and wider.

"Are you worried about me?"

"... Isn't this obvious." She grabbed his clothes.

"I am fine."

"Really?"

"When did I lie to you?"

A'Du narrowed his eyes: "...then have you considered it?"

"how is this possible."

"Then, if your answer changes in the future, you must tell me at that time."

King Ma Cang Ye sighed: "You seem to be getting worried recently."

A'Du snorted, and straightened his face: "Are you alluding to my age?"

"You know not." He bent his mouth, looked at her, and his voice seemed to be softer, "You have never changed."

"...Is this a compliment?"

Ma Cang Yewang lowered his head, and the kiss like a dragonfly touched Li, as if his fingertips had not touched the petals that had fallen from the branch. When she recovered, he had straightened up again and helped her straighten her body. Messy sideburns.

"Okay, don't worry, A'Du."

The setting sun was burning to embers, and the seaside was dark, Ma Cang Ye Wang motioned her to look at the night sky, with a very calm and gentle expression on his face.

He whispered, "Look, the stars are out for a walk."
