Bamboo branch girl

As darkness approached and the sun set at dusk, Huang took Zhuji's hand and walked to a well.

The mouth of the well is not big and can only accommodate two barrels.But this well seemed to be abandoned, and the walls of the well were covered with thick moss, even the snow wind did not prevent the moss from multiplying and growing.Even if you throw a small stone into it, you can't hear the sound of ding-dong, and the echo that can't wait proves that the well is bottomless.

Huang and Zhuji sat beside him quietly without making a sound.

After a long time, Zhuji couldn't bear the loneliness, so she shook Huang's sleeves and asked, "What are you going to do, brother?"

Huang pressed her head and said, "Tonight will be full moon, so we will jump down from the Hiruzi Well."

"Hiriko well? Is this well called Hiruko well? There is also one at the shrine." Takehime tried hard to recall the scene when she was pushed down the well, which was also full moon.

When the full moon is full, it is a good time for immortals to ascend.Because at that time, the gods will set up a galaxy between the sky and the earth, so that the immortals who have cultivated can lead to the sky.After all, it is just a legend, or this well is like an ideal source, connected to a certain place, and can be entered and exited under certain conditions.

somewhere...

somewhere or something...

Is it the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, or... Zhuji couldn't tell.

Huang replied: "It is the well in the shrine, but there is no Yuyi Shrine built here, so it is difficult to find the exact location."

"Why is there a full moon?" Zhuji asked.

"Only when the full moon is full, the spring water gushing out from below will not be hot and can lead to the shrine in Yebisu." Ara replied again.

"Grandpa Ebisu's shrines are everywhere, why do you have to jump from here?" Takehime asked.

shortage:"……"

Zhuji didn't give up, she shook Huang's arm and said coquettishly: "Tell me, tell me."

Huang said: "I foresee that Natsume Ren is on an island. I don't know the exact location, but I can only try."

Zhuji nodded, then asked again: "Is it okay to take a boat?"

Huang didn't show any impatience because of this, but said lightly: "It's too slow."

"Then you get into my sleeve, and I'll take you there." Zhuji opened her sleeve, and her sleeve can lead to another space, which is a good choice.

But with Huang's figure, it is definitely impossible to get in.

shortage:"……"

Zhuji laughed heartily a few times, put her arms around Huang's neck, and kissed him on the cheek again: "I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding."

"Fool." Huang helplessly ruffled Zhuji's hair.The long hair like a waterfall is still as smooth as usual, with a faint fragrance of pear blossoms.

Pear blossoms were the prettiest flowers in that village in the past. Zhuji always liked to put the fallen pear blossoms on bamboo shells, and then brought them back to the bamboo forest and hid them under her own bamboo leaves.She no longer has this habit, but the fragrance of pear blossoms still remains in her innermost soul.

Zhuji puffed her face: "Idiot, idiot~ You are the only one who is stupid, I am not stupid at all, just bully that I am younger than you."

"Silly."

"Not stupid, not stupid!!"

The moon rose, and the dark clouds dispersed and became round, like a big egg cake.

"Stop arguing, it's full moon, hold me tighter." Huang hugged Zhuji vertically, jumped up, and jumped into the leech well.

The wellhead can only accommodate two adult men, and Takehime is relatively small, so it can be ignored.They drooped in a straight line, Huang grabbed Zhuji's head tightly, and finally fell into the well water together.

It turns out that there is water in the well!

Then why can't you hear the sound of water when you throw stones down?Isn't Huang not able to swim?

They are in the water, the bottom is dark, the water is cold, they can only feel the temperature of each other.

Huang hugged Zhuji very tightly, afraid that he would be separated from her accidentally.But Huang was not good at staying in the water, he had to hold his breath when he entered the water, but the time without breathing was enough to swim through, because he had already calculated the time, and swimming was more than enough.

In that short moment, Zhuji opened her eyes and looked at Huang, she also spoke to Huang confidently: "I am Princess Yuyi, so brother don't worry too much."

After she finished speaking, she raised her neck and aimed at Huang's lips, transferring the oxygen when she absorbed water to him.

Can talk in water...

Apart from the aquatic monsters, there is only the princess who lives in Unabara.If it is Princess Yuyi, she is not reliable at all in the legend.Even so, Huang closed his eyes with peace of mind, and gave all his mental power to Zhuji.

In a short period of time, they experienced a dream-like experience and were mesmerized.

It wasn't until he floated along the current to an open place that there was no light.Under the bright light, a fishing net was thrown in, and Zhuji and Huang were tied up together, and pulled to the shore.

Huang coughed heavily, breathing in the fresh air with big gulps.He was illuminated by the sun, and his wet clothes were shiny. The hair on his forehead set off his fair face, and his graceful silhouette was highlighted between his raised heads.

Zhuji was fascinated by watching, but she didn't know that the surrounding environment had changed.

"Two people were picked up."

"It's two people."

"A woman, a man."

"Men and women, both."

Those mechanical sounds woke Zhuji up, and she realized that she had come to another place.

Even though it was a full moon night just now, why is it a sunny morning now?Looking at the colors of the vegetation and the clothes of those people, she knew it was summer.

"Excuse me, where is this?" Zhuji asked simply.As for Huang, he hadn't recovered completely and couldn't say a word.

However, the fishermen who watched did not answer, nor did they intend to untie their fishing nets.One by one you look at me, I look at you.Later, a man stood up, looked at them blankly and said, "My lord, I don't want to move."

So the men behind were all responding: "The lord's belongings can't be moved."

"The island is all owned by the Lord, including the big salvage." From the back to the front, they all wore Yebisu red masks. Their voices were emotionless and without intonation, and they kept repeating a sentence, as if Rigged puppet.

"The people here are so strange..." Zhuji grabbed Huang's hand, but Huang sat on the ground and still didn't slow down.

At this time, there was a crisp applause from the crowd, and then the fishermen stopped talking and gave way.

Coming out of that road was a man in a formal kimono.Like those fishermen, he had no expression on his face.

"Are you from outside the island?" the man asked knowingly.

Zhuji replied honestly: "Yes, my brother and I are both."

The man asked the fisherman to untie the net, let Zhuji and Huang out, and said, "It's a rare guest, please come and sit down."

Zhuji pulled Huang, who had become dazed as soon as he arrived on the island, and followed this strange man step by step.

He brought Takehime to a shrine, passed through the twelve torii gates, and after entering the temple, he saw a statue of Ebisu inside, so Takehime was sure that they had reached their destination.

What about Natsume Jin?Where is Natsume Ren?

"Guests, please sit down." The man pointed to the vacant cushions in the temple. "There are very few travelers on this island. You are the first guests of this generation of lords. My lord will be very happy to see you."

Zhuji pulled Huang, knelt on the cushion, and slapped Huang's face with her palm.

Huang was still silent, not even blinking his eyes.

"Shimozosuke is the Lord Feng of this island. I don't know what the names of the two are..." Feng Gong literally means someone who serves the lord.

"Yu Yi and Tian Punishment." Zhu Ji didn't say their real names, but their names.

"It's the names of two gods, sorry." Kuranosuke kowtowed to Takehime, and then looked at them blankly.

He seemed to be in disbelief.

Zhuji didn't take this to heart, she raised a doubt: "Are we going to be something too? That's what they said when we first landed."

Cananosuke remained unchanged and said, "Yes, everything on the island, including men, women, any piece of land, any crop, and items salvaged from the sea, belong to the lord."

Hearing this, Zhuji moved to the deserted side, and then asked: "If everything belongs to the lord, what should the people on the island eat?"

"In fact, after handing over the things, they can evenly distribute an appropriate amount of food every day, and regularly distribute clothes and tools." Kuranosuke explained.

"Average score? It sounds pretty good." Zhuji fell into thinking, "But at that time, everyone was equal, so wouldn't it be impossible to divide the ranks? For example, the royal family, nobles, warriors, commoners, and slaves. If they were equally divided, would they be equal? Have your own boundaries?"

Kuranosuke replied: "There are only 250 people on the island, 50 craftsmen, 65 farmers, and 25 fishermen. The rest are the old and weak women and children around the lord, and a small part are the women around the lord and Fenggong."

Zhuji's lips trembled: "Then...all those women belong to the lord?"

Canonosuke narrated stiffly and without a tone: "Yes, women can be distributed to other men who need courtship after they are eaten by the lord."

That sounds terrible.Are the priestesses outside the temple just all of the lord?Then, will she also be sent to the lord's bedroom to be played by that person?

No, in terms of spells, monsters are always slightly better than humans, unless the lord has strange visions and spells like Natsume Ren.

"Brother..." Zhuji shrank directly behind Huang.

Huang still didn't respond, as if his soul had come out of his body.

"Don't be nervous, you are distinguished guests, and the lord will treat you kindly." Kuranosuke gave a reassurance.

"In this way, it becomes unnecessary for us to come here." Zhuji was a little scared, and planned to leave, pulling Huang to get up.

Cananosuke obstructed and said: "Please go to the temple with me to meet the lord later, and just follow his arrangement."

As soon as the words fell, the priestesses outside the temple said in unison in toneless voices:

"Congratulations, my lord."

"Congratulations, my lord."

"Congratulations, my lord."

The author has something to say: the following chapter refers to the setting of "Street Talk Hundred Stories", if you are interested, you can go and have a look~

The update has been a bit slow recently, the main reason is that there are too many homework, and... also double-open...
