Distillery accountants give Scotland another huge sum of money

The school in Lai Caotian has recently returned to normal due to the absence of harassment from the Sharai group.

I don't know when a beautiful wooden carriage was placed next to the playground, and there were a bunch of pumpkins and various red and green candy wrappers on the cart.

Kawaii Rino suddenly realized that it seemed that Halloween was coming.

The children were running and laughing in the campus, and some who knew Kawai Rino would run over to say hello to her.

The city is somewhat cold in winter.

Kawai Rino was wearing a light yellow bread jacket, and around her neck was a white scarf that Jing Guang put on her when she went out.

This scarf is from Jing Guang, and it has the ethereal orange scent on it that he likes to wash clothes with.

Kawaii Rino buried his chin in the scarf, grabbed a random child and asked where Principal Aika was, and then installed a small parasol towards the back of the school building.It seems that there is a summer resort style, which is a little out of tune in this cold winter, but the red and bright yellow striped parasols give people a very warm vision.

An old lady was sitting in a rocking chair under an umbrella, wrapped in a thick white cotton dress.

When Kawai Rino walked over, she could still hear her snoring softly.

are you asleep?

Kawai Rino sat beside him, ready to wait for the old lady to wake up.When I looked back, I found a few small plates on the table with a lot of food prepared in advance.

The plate is still covered with a layer of plastic wrap, it is obvious that it has not been started and is waiting for the guests to come.

Chuanhe Rino was not polite to the old lady either. He removed one of the plates of plastic wrap containing green grapes, reached out and stuffed three green grapes into his mouth.

"Hiss—wow, it's so sour!" Rino Chuai just took a bite, and the juice that was so sour that she lost her teeth soaked her entire mouth, and her whole gums were trembling with sourness.

Too sour, so sour.

Kawai Rino has never eaten such sour green grapes.

The old lady who was lying on the rocking chair with her eyes closed and taking a nap opened her eyes at some point, and seeing Kawai Rino being soured, she squinted her eyes and smiled lightly without saying a word.

Rino Kawai waited for a long time before he swallowed the sour taste, looked at the old lady's half-closed eyelids and smiled at himself: "Old lady, are you awake? Just right, I have something to ask you, do you know there is No pocket watch looks like this..."

Kawai Rino stretched out his hand, and was just about to draw the pocket watch with the old lady when he suddenly saw her pointing at the plate on the table that was farthest from him.

On that plate lay green dried fruit cut into strands.

It looks very healthy, but Kawai Rino feels very strange, can the old lady's teeth still eat this kind of thing?

She grabbed a few sticks and handed them to Principal Aijia, but Principal Aijia didn't intend to accept them. Instead, she nuzzled at Rino Chuai, motioning for Rino Chuai to eat them by herself.

Chuanhe Rino didn't really want to eat, but she wanted to ask the old lady about the pocket watch.

But looking at Principal Aijia like this, it seems that he knew that he would come.

Probably Jing Guang told her in advance.

Rino Kawago pulled the stool under his buttocks towards the old lady, and let himself sit under the parasol, holding the dried fruit sticks in his hands while sending them to his mouth while continuing to talk about the pocket watch with Principal Aika : "...that pocket watch is made of silver, and there are such, such, and such patterns on it. Pfft—wow! So spicy! What is this!"

Chuanai Rino just took a bite of the dried fruit that looked delicious.Not a nice candied fruit at all, but strips of green peppers coated in powdered sugar that looked very much like candied green peppers.

Principal Aika looked at Rino Kawaii whirling in circles, and smiled, revealing his toothless gums.

She reached out to pick up a ceramic pot of clear tea on the table next to her, and gave Kawai Rino a cup.

The clear blue-yellow tea exudes a strange tendency, Kawago Rino's eyes are red from the heat, he picks up the teacup and pours it into his stomach without thinking.

The tea produced a strange mixture with the pungent taste in the mouth when it first entered the mouth, and the bitter taste that spread out after swallowing it made Kawai Rino know what kind of tea it was brewing.

What the hell, this is lotus heart tea!

The sour, spicy, and bitter energy in his stomach made every nerve of Rino Kawai's body full of the mixed flavors, making him speechless.

She just wanted to swear.

When I looked up, I saw the old lady Aijia stretching out her hand, pinching a green grape, a green pepper strip, and drinking the cup of bitter lotus heart tea that made people tremble.She ate it mouthful after mouthful, but the old lady's reaction was far less severe than that of Kawai Rino.

She was lying on the rocking chair, the plainness between her eyebrows was like a weather-beaten dead tree.

Whether it's wind and rain, or the fiery flames of molten lava.

No longer shake the dead tree half a point.

Rino Kawago sat next to her, the expression on his face was black and blue for a while, and he really didn't understand why this old lady had to put so many things on the table.

"Sour, bitter, spicy..." The fingers with lines like dead trees pointed at the things that Chuanhe Rino ate just now, following every taste he said, and finally said another word: "Sweet."

She took out a strawberry-flavored lollipop from her pocket and handed it to Kawai Rino.

Chuanhe Rino didn't dare to eat it, for fear of some strange taste after eating it later.

But the old lady Aijia stuffed this lollipop into Kawai Rino's hand: "Life, life."

That's it.

Sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty.

You have tasted it today.

Chuanai Rino felt that this old lady was very strange, why did she eat so many strange things for herself, and even said some strange words.

The old lady Aijia pouted at Kawai Rino, as if asking her to do something for her.

Kawai Rino has a high tolerance for this kind of elderly people. He walked behind the old lady and held one side of the rocking chair with one hand to help her rock gently.

The old lady Aijia hummed in satisfaction, and Kawago Rino thought she was going to tell him something, but when she got closer, she found that she was humming to herself, a ditty that she couldn't make out what it was.

The strange taste in the mouth has always remained in the mouth.

Kawai Rino didn't have any desire to eat anything else in his stomach.

She also put the lollipop in her pocket.

After a while, the old lady Aijia moaned and said, "That guy..."

"Ah?" Rino Kawaai put his ear over to listen to what the old lady wanted to say.

"He says……"

Kawai Rino listened carefully, knowing that the old lady was not speaking fast, and it was intermittent, for fear that he might miss some key words.

"...you are a child who deserves to be taken seriously."

The old lady Aijia was so dazed that there was a little smile in her eyes, as if she was looking at her own child, full of kindness.

A long time ago.

She didn't know how that young man found her, and she also knew that she came from Mermaid Island.

Even she herself only listened to her parents mention it when she was dying after both parents passed away.

There is a hundred-year-old grandma on Mermaid Island, who is her great-grandmother.

Her surname was Orishima before she married her husband, no, earlier, when her father hadn't left Mermaid Island, her father's surname was Shimabukuro.

Since his father left from Mermaid Island.

He never mentioned the matter on Mermaid Island to anyone again.

As for the great-grandmother of Mrs. Aika, Mikoto Shimabukuro, many people say that she is over 100 years old, but according to Mrs. Aika's understanding, her grandma should be older.

It is rumored that Mikoto Shimabukuro gained immortality by eating mermaid meat by mistake.

But this is not the case.

Mikoto Shimabukuro took a strange drug.

And the founder of this drug is long gone.

Who is the creator of this drug?The people who have taken this drug are all who have left relevant information for future generations to conduct drug research, and no one knows.

They only know that after Mikoto Shimabukuro was able to live forever, Mermaid Island has attracted many people's curiosity.

Originally, there were less than 100 residents on the island.

As this matter became more and more fermented, the flow of people on Mermaid Island became more visible to the naked eye.

Afterwards, a festival is held on the island every year. There is also a legend on this festival, that is, whoever belongs to the three mermaid arrows held by the longevity woman will get longevity.

"...But, people don't know. The real 'Longevity Woman' passed away long ago...the one who has been attending every ceremony in place of 'Longevity Woman'...is actually a descendant of 'Longevity Woman'."

There was a slight creaking sound from the legs of the rocking chair.

The old lady Aijia slowly swayed the rocking chair, and slowly told Kawai Rino a story that she had never talked to anyone.

Chuanai Rino was fascinated, and felt that this matter was very novel: "So the medicine doesn't have any function of immortality at all, does it?"

Just when Chuai Rino thought that the old lady Aijia would say "yes", the old lady Aijia actually raised her head and glanced at the young woman with a meaningful expression: "No... yes..."

"..."

"My great-grandmother died...not from natural causes but...by suicide."

"Suicide?" Kawaai Rino didn't understand.The boss of the organization has been pursuing this wish of immortality for such a long time. Since some people can already achieve it, why do they still do such a thing?

The old lady Aijia smiled and closed her eyes, shaking her head and started playing riddles with Rino Kawai again.

"Life, ups and downs...life..."

"What?" Chuanai Rino asked, leaning on her hand. "Could you please clarify? I'm really curious."

"Huh—" the snoring started lightly.

"Grandma?" Kawago Rino shook her lightly.She hasn't asked about the pocket watch yet!

"Huh—" the snoring continued.

"..." Kawai Rino.

"..." Granny Aijia.

Doesn't it mean that the elderly will sleep less when they reach a certain age?

What kind of skill is it to sleep when you say sleep?

Kawai Rino knew that this was the old lady's special way of evading answers.

Forget it, since you don't want to say it, you don't have to press me.

Grandma Aijia's father escaped from Mermaid Island and changed his name, most likely because he didn't want to go back to that island again.

Before his father died, he told Aijia Yaoxiang that he must never tell anyone about their origin and Mermaid Island, and handed Aijia Yaoxiang a small plastic box containing a white pill for her to keep safe.

Aijia Yaoxiang was very crazy when she was young. After her father and the group of friends before her passed away, she suddenly understood the meaning of life.

Right above the wooden table next to the parasol.

Aijia Yaoxiang also completely followed his father's instructions, and didn't mention his own life experience to others.

It's just that I didn't expect, I don't know why that young guy would come to my door.

Aijia's mother-in-law originally thought that Jing Guang might be a member of that group of strange organizations obsessed with longevity, but she didn't expect Jing Guang to take the initiative to express her friendship, and was willing to volunteer as a club teacher in this elementary school.

Aijia's mother-in-law didn't know that Zhu Fu Jingguang was a policeman, but after all, she used to work as a little sister and had contact with the cops.

Zhu Fu Jingguang has a certain characteristic that allows Aijia's mother-in-law to roughly guess his identity.

But two people, one grown and one young, tacitly understand each other.

When Kawai Rino patted his buttocks and turned to leave, Granny Aika opened her eyelids, and her eyes were filled with magnificent hues like wisteria and roses mixed together.

Kawai Rino's back overlaps with her from decades ago.

It was like a fateful meeting, a tacit understanding between seniors and juniors.

Life, life.

Welcome to the world of mixed flavors.

Kawai Rino didn't get any useful information from the old lady.

She was holding the lollipop that the old lady Aijia gave her, and when she was about to eat the unbearable taste in her mouth, she found a strange thing hidden in the candy when facing the sun.

It looks a bit like a compressed pill, the size of a mung bean.

If you don't look carefully, it's easy to be surrounded by rose-colored chocolate candies.

"What is this?" Chuanai Rino felt very strange.

She glanced at the candy paper that she almost threw away.

There is a sentence written on the paper.

——【Put it to death and then live】
