Bamboo branch girl

The night was darker, there was still no moon in the sky, but the stars were half covered by dark clouds, and it was a little chilly.

Natsume Ren's clothes were torn in several places, and the cold air invaded through the holes in his clothes, making him sneeze due to the cold.

Zhuji hurriedly went to light the fire, thinking that Natsume Ren was wearing less clothes, so she added a few more firewood to make the fire burn more vigorously.

After a long time, Natsume Ren suddenly asked: "Does the princess have any important people? Besides relatives."

In fact, he was looking forward to his Natsume Ren's name in Zhuji's answer.

Zhuji didn't answer, just smiled, and tidied up the messy pile of firewood.She felt that it was still not enough, so she ran to get a lot and came back.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Natsume Jin was not in the mood to ask further questions, so he simply lay down, closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.

"I think you are implying that you are important to me."

After a long time, he heard such soft words.

Natsume suddenly jumped up, his heart was beating fast, and his face flushed quickly, because it was night and there was fire, so he couldn't see clearly.

"No...I mean..." He trembled, unable to utter a complete sentence.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoren is very nice, but Zhuji only likes her brother alone."

"I don't mean that!"

"Eh?"

"What would happen to the princess if I became like that?" Natsume Ren picked up a leaf and tore it off, feeling restless.

"If that's the case, just leave it to me." Zhuji didn't understand Natsume Ren's meaning.

Xia Muren frowned, got up and walked to Zhuji's side to sit next to each other, looked at the firewood that was almost burned, and then took a few firewood from the side and put them in the fire: "Because I have strength, I am stronger than them, so I can't stand it." In exchange for today's results, so many people will not be sacrificed."

"and then?"

"Me! I...I will swear to protect you to the death!" Natsume Ren looked into her eyes with a firm expression on his face.

Zhuji tilted her head and said, "You saved me before, so all I need to say thank you is enough?"

Well, Natsume Jin felt that he could no longer chat with her.Sure enough, the generation gap is still too big, obviously the age difference between them is almost the same. (on the face of it)

Takehime didn't talk to Natsume Ren any more, she also felt a little sleepy, and began to fall asleep leaning against Huang's body.

In the dream, it seemed that there were palms stroking her hair, which was soft and comfortable, which reminded her of the scene when she was sleeping soundly in her brother's arms when she was a child.

At that time, everyone was still very innocent, and they often fluttered butterflies among the flowers and caught ladybugs among the melons and fruits without any worries.

Later, my elder brother came to Huang Quanguo to avoid her.He could have voted for the grandson of the royal family at will, but he chose that poor village.

Later later... There is no later.

"Princess! Princess! There's a moon!"

Zhuji was violently shaken awake by Natsume Ren, she just opened her eyes and stared at the direction Natsume Ren pointed at——

The moon is hazy, and it is not round to say that it is round, and it is not very similar to say that it looks like a jade plate.

Yes, that's right.On the night of the full moon, you can jump down the Hiruko Well and return to the original Kumamoto Castle. Only by returning there can you hope to restore Huang to normal.

At this time, Huang was still holding the will-o'-the-wisp, and refused to throw it away.

Xia Muren followed Zhuji's example and threw a stone down, and the crisp "ding dong" sound told him that the water below was no longer hot.He excitedly announced the fact that he could go back, but Zhuji was in trouble.

"Brother, we can't take these will-o'-the-wisps down, we have to let them go." Zhuji said while dragging Huang's arm.

"Take it."

"why?"

"Take it."

No matter how many times Zhuji said not to take it with her, Huang always insisted: "You must take it with you".

Suddenly the sky changed color, it was no longer dark blue, and all the stars in the sky disappeared, leaving only the lonely moon. The sound of "rumbling" sounded, and the ground under his feet was shaking violently.

Xia Muren stood unsteadily, fell to the ground, and shouted at Huang: "The sea... the sea monster has moved! We have to leave quickly!"

But besides them, who would believe that the sea monster moved?

The islanders awoke from their sleep, and the village was lit up.

They were frightened, so frightened that they all went out, and the lit torches illuminated the whole island.They walked to the Zhizi Well and formed a circle, discussing how to capture those people who were going out of Rong Island.

These decadent islanders finally have rich expressions - surprise, anger, and more fear!

Rong Island is shaking——!Rong Island is shaking!

Rong Island has not been shaken for a hundred years!

The islanders frantically threw stones, fire... and everything they could throw into the well. They decided to block the Chiruzi Well, and as long as the mouth of the well was blocked, no one would get out.

Yes, no one can go out, they want to enjoy the life like a paradise in this pure land together, and continue to worship their most noble gods together.

Together forever and ever, we will be born on Rong Island and die on Rong Island.

In the future, they will definitely be comparable to the gods in Gaotianyuan, and their deeds will definitely become the after-tea ghost stories that the outside world likes to talk about.

The islanders have all worked hard for this, and they have worked hard for a hundred years from generation to generation.

"What's the matter with these islanders?" Natsume Ren couldn't understand the crazy behavior of these people, his lips and teeth were trembling.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the islanders rushed towards Natsume Jin.

"Those who walk out of Rong Island, take them to see the lord."

"The island is about to sink, send it to the lord."

"See my lord..."

Voiceless voices followed one after another.

"Liar, when did your lord say he was going to stop us!" Xia Muren's eyes widened in shock, he moved back a lot of steps, and his back suddenly hit the leech well, the pain was so great that he couldn't make a sound .

"You can't leave the island."

"Do not leave the island."

The islanders moved forward slowly like a flood of beasts.

A small body stopped in front of Natsume Ren.

When she came, the islanders fell silent.

Although it was dark, the islanders recognized Takehime.They also knew that Takehime was called a princess by the red-faced Ebisu.But now whether she is an enemy or a friend, they haven't had time to judge.

Zhuji took the opportunity to push Huang to the mouth of the well, and pulled Xia Muren up, saying: "Xiaoren, take your brother away later."

"What about you, princess?"

"It's okay, I'll come back later."

Xia Muren shook his head desperately: "But the ground is shaking so badly, there is not enough time! If you come together, you have to go back together, isn't it all agreed?!"

"...As long as my brother can survive, it doesn't matter what Zhuji asks me to do."

Zhuji glanced at Huang, but Huang didn't look at her, as if everyone didn't exist.She laughed again: "Maybe after my brother returns to his original state after going back, he will come back to save me."

As long as she thinks that Huang will come back, Zhuji has nothing to be afraid of.

"What's the point of that!? I'd rather take you away!" Xia Muren held Zhuji's hand tightly.

"Thank you." Zhuji said.

She was teary-eyed, she didn't know where the strength came from to break Natsume Ren's fingers, and then twisted his arm decisively and pushed him down.

The screams from the mouth of the well are getting farther and farther...

Zhuji turned to stand on the pile of stones, trying her best to make herself as tall as Huang, and then untied a string of five-color jade from the dragon's head, rolled it up and wrapped it around Huang's wrist.

"In this way, brother won't be afraid of water." She laughed and cried.

"Goodbye."

Huang couldn't hear the last goodbye.

The author has something to say: As long as there is only one person watching, I will insist on finishing the book for you.

good night.
