Bamboo branch girl

In March, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and the riverside of Kyoto City becomes a sea of ​​flowers.

When it was time to light the lamps, Qiu Hao went to the river bank and hung a dim lamp on the cherry blossom branches.She knelt in front of the cherry tree, clasped her hands, and murmured a scripture.

Qiu Hao failed to enter the palace, and the interview reached the final round. A maid in the palace recognized her face, so she had to put away her things and slip away quickly to avoid attracting the man's attention.

The man, the man who made her dream about him, he is a heartbreaker.

Qiu Hao looked up and stared at the dim light, a line of tears scraped across her cheeks and dripped on the fallen cherry blossom petals.Logically speaking, the lonely ghost should have appeared at this time. It would be great if her flesh and blood still existed in this world.

"Mother is hanging the lamp, is she commemorating someone?" Now Zashiki is her child.Although Zashiki is a monster from other places, she naturally regards it as her own, and has never treated the child badly.

Qiuhao wiped away her tears, took the zouchu and pressed her hand on her abdomen: "Mother also had a child here, he was still so young, so he went to Santuchuan."

After the reincarnation, Qiu Hao is still a bitter woman who lost her child.The princess Yuyi took her away from the city gate, but what she got in exchange was the same situation in the afterlife.

She hates everyone for not helping her, and hates the gods for not bringing her happiness.

However, who said that gods are omnipotent?If human beings' help-seeking was useful, then there would not be so many tragedies, and there would be no birth, old age, sickness, death, joys and sorrows in the world.

Zashiki withdrew his hands, looked puzzled, pointed to his face and said, "How small? Is it as big as me?"

Qiu Hao's expression became more and more lonely: "He is very small, so small that he has not yet been born, and he has not yet seen the world properly."

"Mother..." Zashiki called Qiu Hao in a low voice.In her eyes, her mother is her mother. She knows that the villagers are just using monsters like Zashiki to bring her good luck and force herself to drive away the will-o’-the-wisps that plague humans.

All because of his gentle and pitiful mother, Zashiki never left.

Qiu Hao smiled at Zashiki, but relieved: "Mother is not sad, at least you are still there. It is destined that he cannot come, so don't be sad, right?"

Zashiki nodded heavily: "Yes! I will always take care of my mother!"

Qiuhao touched Zouchi's head: "First of all, you must learn to take care of yourself. You will have to walk on your own for a long time to come. Can you promise your mother?"

Next, she can no longer take care of the child.Tomorrow she will do something that she regrets for the rest of her life, an irreversible thing.

Tears couldn't help dripping down, Akiyo hugged Zashiki tightly, raised her head slightly to let the tears flow back.Suddenly, the face seemed to be pulled away in horror, but Zashiki's eyes could only see the back of Qiuhao's head.

"Mother, you've become so strange today." Zashiki was about to turn his head.

Qiu Hao held her down for a while, then let go and let Zashiki turn her face away. She shook her head and said, "I just remembered something sad, I'm fine."

Zashiki was kept in the dark, and then vowed: "With me here, you will be fine, I will protect mother, no one can hurt you."

"Good boy... good boy..." Qiu Hao murmured again, and his voice gradually became hoarse.

The night in the world is also the day in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

The pure land located in the easternmost part of Weiyuan is a paradise for the gods who live in the world.There is the same as the world, there are markets, houses, and their commanders.

It's just that their leaders will never plunder the people's property at will like human rulers, or use their own deterrent power to rule the people.Because the main responsibility of the commander here is to control the day and night of the Pure Land, and to punish those who violate the taboo gods.

There are many ways of God's punishment. In case there is an emergency, this commander doesn't like to torture others, but he chooses the Heaven's Punishment Star or Heaven's Punishment Moon that can make people happy.

So everyone called him "Heaven's Punishment", only one girl especially liked to call him "elder brother" and "brother", and occasionally called him "Master Huang" respectfully.

Everyone in the Pure Land doesn't like her. If it wasn't for Huang's face, then the gods who knew her would have driven her out long ago.

Now, Zhuji is still sleeping on Huang's mattress, covered with Huang's quilt.

"Hmm... so soft..." Zhuji rubbed her eyes sleepily, got up from the quilt, and forgot how she came here for a moment.

She was tired from crying and then fell asleep, and she didn't know what happened after she fell asleep.In short, relying on the familiar smell around here, let her instantly understand that this is a barren land.

"Princess, your breakfast." The Kitchen God held the breakfast and pushed the door in, his face was full of displeasure.

The girl he hated was brought back by Mr. Huang again, not only occupying Mr. Huang's room, but also asking him to cook and serve her.Usually he is already very busy, and it is not easy to come out to cook in spare time.

"What about... brother?" Zhuji asked tremblingly.She felt the Kitchen God's unfriendliness, and at the same time showed a little murderous intent.

"Master Huang wants you to have a good rest. He will return after finishing some things." No matter how dissatisfied, the Kitchen God still treats Zhu Ji with respect.

The breakfast served included her favorite wagashi. The Kitchen God was ingenious and made various images of wagashi, which whetted the appetite.

Zhuji quickly lifted the quilt to get up, went outside to wash the whole person, and then came back and stuffed wagashi into her mouth one by one.

The soft feeling melts from the tip of the teeth, and the wagashi seems to have a lot of sugar.

"It seems that there is too much sugar in wagashi." Zhuji suggested.

"I'll take it down here." The Kitchen God picked up the plate with one hand but was held down by Zhuji.

"No, it must have been hard work all morning, um...it's delicious." She shook her head, stuffed the remaining fruit into her mouth, and chewed it vigorously.

"The princess is not used to being considerate." The Kitchen God couldn't adapt to Zhuji's behavior for a while.

Since when did this dude care about other people's feelings?The Kitchen God couldn't believe what he had heard.He had been observing Zhuji while she was eating, and from the outside, it was really hard to tell that she had changed.

"If you like being abused, I can switch roles." Zhuji was quite interested.

The Kitchen God was so frightened that he quickly bent over and kowtowed: "No, no, no, I'm also very old, and I can't stand torment."

It's still this cowardly look, which makes people laugh.

Zhuji had enough to eat and drink, she was idle and bored, she held her chin and chatted with the Kitchen God about God's Punisher: "He still brought me back, he must have remembered..."

"It's still the same sentence, Mr. Huang said that I will take care of the princess first, and he should not come back today, so there is no need to wait." The Kitchen God is completely different from what he said just now.

"Thank you, I'm sorry to trouble you." Zhuji bowed to the Kitchen God.

Her behavior made Kitchen God refresh his understanding of her again.Are there really people in the world who can change their personalities at will?Strange.

The Kitchen God was puzzled and returned to the kitchen to continue working.

Zhuji was idle and bored, so she also walked with him, saying that she wanted to borrow a kitchen to make egg pancakes, and what her brother liked to eat.

Then, he was driven out by the Kitchen God.

He won't let anyone touch his kitchen, except of course.

However, how can a woman from the Heavenly Punishment family admit defeat casually!Zhuji sneaked in again, and took advantage of her stature to get under the stove, secretly watching the Kitchen God cook various dishes.

There are too many materials to handle. Seeing the Kitchen God quickly igniting water to stew vegetables and tofu, the repetitive steps and repetitive actions, Zhuji was so bored that she fell asleep again.

Come back at night.

The night in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is also the daytime in the world.He habitually works at night in the human world, and only goes home to rest during the day.

As soon as he got home, he found that Zhuji had disappeared.He was not in a hurry, because Zhuji's breath was still lingering nearby, so he just didn't know where she was hiding.

He went to ask the kitchen god, but the kitchen god said he hadn't seen it either, but later he found Zhuji under the stove whose face was blackened by the smoke, and she was still sleeping there.

"It's time to wake up." Huang said flatly.He never knew that this guy slept so well, he would fall asleep crying and crying, he would fall asleep while lying on the bed, he would even fall asleep playing hide-and-seek while hiding, without any vigilance.

When Zhuji heard Huang's voice, she opened her eyes and regained her energy. She looked ahead and could only see Huang's long legs.She was in a hurry to go out, but unfortunately bumped her head.

"Hey! The one who bumped his head said..." Zhuji patted her head crying and refused to come out by herself.

In the end, it was Huang who hugged Zhuji out of it, feeling extremely helpless.

The Kitchen God gritted his teeth, and the hand holding the kitchen knife was shaking.hateful!hateful!Obviously Master Huang doesn't remember her anymore, what is this woman still pestering him for!In short, the Kitchen God was the first to oppose this marriage, and his attitude towards Zhu Ji hadn't changed for hundreds of years.

The Kitchen God over there was in a panic, while Zhuji on the other side was invited by Huang.

"...Ah! I can't see it!" Zhuji was about to go back to her room to continue sleeping, but Huang covered her eyes from behind and turned her to the direction of the verandah.

He opened his palm lightly, and what caught Zhuji's eyes was a patch of stars.

"Would you like to watch the stars with me?" He said softly, with an unprecedented tenderness in his words.

Zhuji looked at him in disbelief. Although this feeling was great, she still wanted to sleep.Unexpectedly, she refused and said, "Well... Maybe I'm not very free."

"Hmph, leave the cooking to the Kitchen God, you come with me." Regardless of whether Zhuji refused or not, Huang held her hand and was about to leave the house.

Zhuji shook her head desperately, and she pulled Huang back with strength from somewhere: "Can I lie down? Today I learned how to cook from the Kitchen God, and I feel a little sour."

The clear eyes couldn't understand what it meant, Huang suddenly hugged her and sat on the veranda together.

Zhuji lay comfortably in Huang's arms, recalling the past again.There are too many past events, she can't remember everything clearly, as long as Huang is still there, the past events are no big deal.

The sky is full of stars, dreamy and beautiful.

Zhuji, who was counting the stars, was sleepy again, she stopped counting, and simply buried herself in Huang's neck.

"How many have you counted?" Huang woke her up.

"...I was interrupted by you..." Zhuji continued to sleep with her head buried.

Huang squeezed Zhuji's face: "It's not good to sleep more, you slept for most of the day yesterday."

"But, I feel sleepy again. I slept in the bamboo forest for a long time before, but now I still want to sleep, because it makes people feel very comfortable in the arms of Mr. Huang." Zhu Ji's face was flattened into a glutinous rice bag, "You have to remember Wake me up, I'll just sleep for a while, okay?"

"How long?" Huang asked.

"Until my brother is willing to kiss me, you used to wake me up like this." Zhuji was delighted in her heart, and deliberately moved her face closer so that Huang could kiss her.

Huang is unwilling: "I'm not interested in children, we'll talk about it when you grow up." Kissing a child who hasn't grown up is a crime, and Huang can't do that.

Zhuji panicked: "No, no! I've really grown up! Appearance doesn't explain everything!"

Everyone said that she hadn't grown up yet, and that appearance was not the criterion for judging everything. According to her current age and experience, she could indeed be called a woman.

"So now you're refreshed, do you still want to sleep?" Huang didn't want to continue arguing with her.

"I want to sleep with you tonight, because your quilt smells so good."

"Be careful what you say, this request is already too much."

"Oh."

The author has something to say: Tang Tang Tang, sugar is coming.
