God's Garden

When the two returned to the village chief's house, the village chief was about to go out, and Amanda followed.

"Ah, Brother Ritsu!"

Amanda, who saw the two coming, ran towards the North Royal Gate without hesitation, and threw herself into his arms as usual.

"..." Fujikawa looked at Kita Mimon who was holding Amanda in his arms, and decided to silently look away.

"Is there a problem?"

As the village chief spoke, he slowly approached them. Seeing this, the two followed suit.

It was Fujikawa who spoke first, "Village Chief, is that river the only source of water for Wangyou Village?"

"Yeah." The village chief nodded and asked with some doubts, "What's wrong?"

"We were just thinking, I'm afraid the river is the problem."

Fujikawa continued, "Can you tell us where the source of that river is?"

"This..." The village chief was taken aback for a moment, as if he understood the seriousness, "But I don't know what's going on outside the village. I only know that the end of the river is in this village."

"The end is in this village?" Bei Yumen obviously didn't understand.

"That happened in the past." The village chief frowned slightly, "The villagers who first came here to build the village were worried about the lack of water sources, and then there was a weird big earthquake, and the cracks formed by the earthquake suddenly became The river, since then, the only source of water for Wangyou Village is this river.”

In fact, Wangyou Village can only be regarded as a junction point of the river. The path of the river surrounds the village, like a U-shape. It happened hundreds of years ago, and the village head doesn't know the details. The villagers didn't know anything else except that they did some drainage work to make the farming go smoothly.

The only one who is more aware of the affairs outside the village is the deceased Lana.

"...No way, it seems that we can only look in both directions."

Fujikawa said to Kita Mimon, Kita Mimon could only nod, he gently put Amanda down, and when they were about to set off directly, the village chief stopped them again.

"You will get lost like this. The Wangyou Forest in the north is different from the south you went to."

He sighed, "Because there is a mountain behind the forest in the north, the villagers don't go there very often, only Lanai knows how to get there."

"..." Fujikawa thought for a while, "Even if you just follow the river?"

The village chief shook his head, and then he suddenly turned back and opened the door, which made the two people look at him suspiciously.

"Lana has a room, which is dedicated to storing the books and diaries she brought back."

As he said that, the village chief took out a small key from the necklace he had been hanging on. It was an old key full of rust.

That room used to be Lanai's secret, she didn't allow anyone to enter, not even her beloved father and daughter.Although the village chief himself didn't know if there would be any books about the northern forest, but now, he has no other choice.

"If you need anything, you can take it directly."

Beckoning the two of them to come to the door, the village chief handed the key to Beiyumen.

"Amanda, take the brothers to the locked room." He said to Amanda, "Do you know which one it is?"

"I know!" Amanda opened her round eyes, as if the responsibility was heavy, "Amanda will take the brothers there!"

"Where are you going? Body..." Kita Mimon asked while holding the key in his hand.

The village chief interrupted him and smiled, "I'm not the only one who suffers. Caring for the villagers is also what I have to do."

"Are you in a hurry now? It's okay. It's not too late to explain to me later."

Hearing what the village head said, Bei Yumen could only nod his head.

"Then the village chief, please tell the villagers not to drink the water from the river for the time being."

The village head responded, and quickly took some slow steps, walking from house to house.

On the other hand, Bei Yumen and the others also led Amanda to the locked room.

Carefully opened the lock, when the Beiyumen opened the door, a strong musty smell came to the nostrils, and even the dust dancing due to the air flow could be seen under the sunlight reflected through the window.

The room is small and a square shape.There are bookcases on almost all sides, a desk in front of it, and a huge window on it. The thick dust shows that no one has entered here for many years. The pen left on the table may be waiting for the owner to come in again. Pick it up, even though it's already impossible.

If it hadn't been abandoned for a long time, this must be a quiet and relaxing study.

Bei Yumen walked in front, he originally wanted to ignore so much dust and go straight to the books, but every time he picked up a book, the oncoming dust washed his face, and finally he couldn't help coughing a few times , Even the nose is itchy.

"Can I clean the room with magic?"

"Can."

Fujikawa opened the window for Bei Yumen, and then took Amanda outside the room, seeing that her little nose was rubbed red.

Bei Yumen covered his nose with one hand, and pointed to the room with the other hand. After a while, there was a gust of breeze visible to the naked eye that shuttled back and forth throughout the room, taking away things on the floor, in the cabinet, All the dust between the books finally swept over the desk, and the gust of wind brought all the dust away to the window.

This is the basic wind magic, a very simple household magic. Originally, he wanted to add a little water magic to make the furniture cleaner, but in order to prevent the books from getting wet, he decided against it.

Seeing Bei Yumen snorting with his hands on his hips, he seems to be satisfied with the cleaning results, right?

He turned around to let Fujikawa come in, only to find that Amanda had slipped into the room earlier, seeing her curious face, he was too embarrassed to drive her away, Kita Mimon carried her to the chair in front of the desk and sat down.

"Brothers are going to start working, Amanda is here to be good?"

"..." Amanda rubbed her nose, the air seemed to be cleaner, she nodded, "OK."

The sun was shining on Amanda through the window. She raised her face and looked at the blue sky.

Fujikawa and Kita Mimon started the work of searching for relevant information, one and half, division of labor and cooperation.

Lanai has too many books, and it would take too much time to look through them one by one. Fortunately, she seems to have the habit of focusing on the books, which saves Bei Yumen and the others a lot of effort.

But not long after, Beiyumen and the others noticed that Lanai's focus was not the focus at all, but a deceptive technique.

"Ah! I was deceived again!" Bei Yumen closed the book in his hand, sighed deeply and put it back in the bookcase, "Really..."

"..." Just after Kita Mimon finished speaking, Fujikawa exhaled, "This is not the case either."

Why is Lanai's focus on deceiving others, because the focus and content of the mark are fundamentally different.For example, she wrote on the inside of the book that the 2-page record is a special cooking method of a certain country, but the actual flipping is how to bargain in that country...

Although they are all content that makes people want to cry, but from some travel diaries, one can feel how happy she used to be.

Although he didn't know Lanai, from these books, they actually experienced the liveliness and cheerfulness of this girl.

As a last resort, they had to carefully flip through the contents of the book to ensure that the information they could not use could be put back.

Lanai's trip was very exciting. She almost traveled all over Loftost by herself. There were times when noble people helped her, and there were also times when she was in trouble and was robbed, but nothing that hit her stopped her. Step down.

That's amazing, Kita Yumen admires her from the bottom of her heart, what Lanai did was something that the previous him would never have thought of.

Ah, but he's done things like going to exhibitions alone or crowding first sales.

Bei Yumen sighed a little, always felt that those past lives were far away from him, and even felt like a previous life...

Scattering the thoughts that were about to drift away, Bei Yumen pulled back his spirit and refocused on the current work.

The room was filled with the sound of flipping books, and before you knew it, it was the afternoon, and Amanda, who had been working for a long time, fell asleep lying on the table.

Bei Yumen put the last book back on the bookcase, clapped his hands and stood up.The two of them turned over four large bookcases in total, and there were still four smaller bookcases left, and they had to work harder.

He twisted his body, stuffed a nutrient into his mouth, and did some stretching movements.

"Do you want to take a break?" Seeing this, Fujikawa asked with concern.

It's just that Bei Yumen shook his head, seemingly full of energy, "There's only a little left, we're almost done!"

"..." Fujikawa smiled helplessly, "Okay."

Just as he was about to attack the short bookcase, Bei Yumen caught a glimpse of a book he left on the ground and forgot to put it back.

"I didn't notice..."

He muttered softly, and after confirming that he had read the book, he realized that it was placed on the top shelf of the bookcase.

"..."

Bei Yumen stood on his toes, but unfortunately he still couldn't reach the side. Whenever this happened, he would complain a little about why he didn't play basketball more and drink milk.

After all, he probably wouldn’t have dared to abandon the comics at that time and go to sweat sports with everyone...

He pursed his lips, he just used a chair to stand on his feet, but after checking all the books on it, he didn't know where he put the chair...

When Bei Yumen was about to look for a chair, a figure covered him, took the book in his hand for him, and put it back to its original position.

"Oh..." Bei Yumen raised his head and saw a familiar profile, "Thank you."

Fujikawa smiled, and quickly backed away.It happened so fast that it took a while for Kita Mimon to feel a little shy. Apart from being shy, he was also a little envious of Fujikawa's height.

It’s great, you don’t need to step on your feet when you put the book... If you feel pushed to the wall by him, you will definitely blush and heartbeat. Fujikawa’s neckline is so beautiful, and even the slightly exposed collarbone makes people want to touch it. a handful...

But having said that, the scene just now felt a little familiar to him...

Kita Yumen thought about it leisurely, but he didn't notice his blushing face, which made Fujikawa beside him laugh.

"What are you thinking about?" He leaned forward and stretched out his hand to pinch the blushing face, "You're very red?"

"..."

Being squeezed by him, he came back to his senses, stared at Fujikawa withdrew his hand, and Kita Yumen frowned and touched his face, it was really hot.

"I didn't think about anything." Bei Yumen covered his cheeks with his hands to cover the red part, said with his mouth flattened, and hurried to sit down in front of the low cabinet.

"..."

Fujikawa didn't say anything, just smiled, and went to the rest of the cabinets to start working.

The height of the remaining low cabinets has been reduced a lot, so the number of books has also been relatively reduced.The low cabinet has three floors in total, and Bei Yumen can get books by sitting cross-legged.

Bei Yumen doesn't quite know how to count Loverst's age, but looking at the time in Lanai's books is gradually moving forward, it seems that the age of the books started here seems to be closer to the present, and the large volume of adventure diaries at the beginning is also gradually moving forward. reduce.

And her adventure diary was interrupted somewhere, and the content of the diary later became more sad, maybe it was the period after meeting that man... Kita Mimon never liked tragedies, even if he didn't watch Lana in detail The mood record, still feel sad.

In Lanai's diary is a photo of her and Amanda when they were just born. In the photo, Lanai's face is pale and weak, but when Amanda holds her little finger tightly, she smiles so happily.

"..."

Bei Yumen glanced at Amanda who was sleeping deeply, then heaved a sigh of relief, carefully put the photos away, and put the diary back without continuing to check the contents.

Skip the diary, some books are books she bought from other places, most of them are books recording the history of the country, they don’t seem to be too important, and some parts will be complained by Lana with a pen, Bei Yumen also Just turn it over.

When I finally picked up the last book on the first low cabinet, a piece of paper fell out from the very edge.

The piece of paper attracted Bei Yumen's attention, he picked it up and looked at it carefully, but couldn't see why.There are no pictures on it, only some languages ​​that Beiyumen can't understand.

It's strange, he thought Loverst wouldn't be bothered by the language barrier, because he'd been able to talk to everyone smoothly from the very beginning...

Beiyumen looked left and right, and after a while he still couldn't understand it, but he had an intuition that it should be a magic spell, and remembered that the village chief once said that if necessary, he could take it away, so...

In order to prevent the old paper from being brittle, Bei Yumen applied a thin layer of protective film on it before putting it in the bag.

"I found it." At the same time, Fujikawa's voice sounded, "Here, Kita Mimon."

"found it!?"

Kita Mimon put down the book in his hand, and quickly walked to Fujikawa and squatted down.

"Here." Fujikawa read slowly, "Because of a major earthquake, the surface of Naroste was cracked, and a river flowing down from the mountains in the north was unexpectedly formed."

The river in the mountains is clean and beautiful. Some people say that this is the best gift God gave to Naroste. The source of the river is blessed by the mountain god, and it is guaranteed that Naroste will have clear water all year round.The people of Naroste love the river. Not only have the river been repaired, but everyone will not litter, and even the drainage will not be excessive, which will definitely keep the river in the most beautiful state.

"It's roughly the same as the village chief said." Fujikawa continued to turn the page, "Here, the forest in the north..."

There is no record of the forest in the book, but there are unclear pencil marks, which should be written by Lana herself.

"Just think about the north..." Fujikawa said with some hesitation, "Will you eventually...be in front of the mountain god?"

"Just think about the north?" Bei Yumen repeated, "Could it be that the only way to pass through that forest is... think about the north?"

"..."

Fujikawa turned a few pages back, but nothing special, only explaining the origin of the forest and the nearby geography.

The only thing that can be determined is that the source of the river is in that mountain. Although the village is U-shaped, it finally converges at the same place.

Feeling helpless, Fujikawa smiled, "I really don't know whether to say it is realistic or not."

"..." Kita Mimon also felt a little powerless, "But since Lana has written like this..."

And unlike the feeling of deliberately scribbling in the past, the scribbled pencil marks add a layer of realism.

Fujikawa looked carefully for a while, and closed the book after confirming that there was nothing else to do. He quickly flipped through the rest of the books, but did not see any relevant topics.

"Why don't you just try it?"

Fujikawa pulled him up and patted the dust off the two of them.

"Are you saying to do as Lanai tells you?"

"Um."

"..." Bei Yumen hesitated, "What should I do if I get lost?"

Looking at his face, Fujikawa thought for a while, and after a few seconds, he smiled confidently.

"Even if it burns down the forest, I will bring you out."

"..."

Ah, look at his expression, it seems that he can really do it... Different from that mature face, Fujikawa's words are always a bit childish.

Bei Yumen couldn't help laughing, "It doesn't have to be that far."

In the afternoon, it was almost evening, and the sky was yellow and bright with a warm red.

The village chief has informed the whole village to suspend the use of river water, and Fujikawa was worried that Kitayumon would be more dangerous if he moved at night, but he seemed to be unwilling to listen to everyone's advice as he seemed to want to solve it quickly.

"Water is very important. People can go without food for a few days, but they must drink water! And I'm afraid some people don't even dare to take a bath!"

Seeing Kita Mimon's empathy, Fujikawa just smiled helplessly, while telling the village chief not to persuade him.

Amanda, who was standing aside, took Bei Yumen's hand, "Brother Li, do you have to go out at night?"

"Amanda..." Seeing her worried face, Kita Yumon patted her head, "It's fine, don't worry."

"..." Amanda pouted, and ran to pull Fujikawa's hand again, "Will Brother Ya protect Brother Ritsu?"

Seeing this, Fujikawa squatted down, took Amanda's hand and shook it lightly,

"As long as it is the wish of the little lady, I will definitely do it."

"That, that..." Amanda's exquisite big eyes burst into tears, "You all come back quickly to accompany me."

Smiling, Fujikawa wiped the tears off her face very gently.

"Okay, as ordered."

Bei Yumen, who was watching from the side, always felt that something was wrong.

Strange, what kind of strange feeling is it, an urge to pull these two people away...

"……what."

After a while, Bei Yumen understood.At the same time, he immediately fell into a whirlpool of self-loathing.

He has known for a long time that he likes Fujikawa, but he actually... is jealous of Amanda...

Omg...he ate the vinegar of a four year old girl...

"..." Noticing his unusual behavior, Fujikawa stood up, "What's wrong?"

Bei Yumen was so astonished by his small belly that he couldn't say a word, he could only cover his face and shook his head, not daring to look at Amanda's innocent and lovely face at all, feeling guilty.His appearance made Fujikawa confused, but it was so cute that he wanted to laugh. It's a pity that Kita Mimon didn't have the energy to ask him why he was laughing.

Woohoo, Amanda, I'm sorry, your brother Lil is a cheapskate...
