[Comprehensive] The Hundred Stories of Qingxingdeng

Chapter 150 Four

The intersection between Kate and the Tang Paper Umbrella Demon ends here

Occasionally meet her when returning from the night, and listen to her talking behind her about the things she encountered, and sometimes hear some rumors and speculations about her on weekdays. It is rumored that this strange woman in white wanders out at night to catch Yegui people; Rumor has it that this strange woman is actually a poor wretch who escaped from the witch's tongs and went insane; rumors of her appearing less and less...

Kate’s encounters with the Tang Paper Umbrella Demon have indeed decreased a lot lately. With a piece of bread in her hand, she mechanically stuffed it into her mouth, but her brows frowned unconsciously. The servants who were also resting on the side gathered together, their eyebrows beaming and mysterious. Secretly discussing the unspeakable strange woman who will appear at night "Why does that strange woman appear less in the city at night?"

"Every night, I would lie on the window and look out secretly. That strange woman is indeed rare. Maybe it's because I live too far away?"

"Hey, can you have Riley remote who lives in the forest?"

"Hey, you want to know why that strange woman doesn't show up?" Riley, who was squatting beside her, smiled triumphantly, "I know~"

"you know?"

Everyone looked over, and even Kate, who didn't like to join in the fun, stopped the mechanical movements in her hands and turned her gaze over, all the strings in her heart tightened. Riley made a full gesture before speaking under the urging of everyone, "Probably the lake fairy is coming, that strange woman left in fear "The lake fairy is coming? !How did you know? "

"Of course I heard it while serving the king.

This news made everyone more interested than the strange woman who would appear in the middle of the night, and the topic quickly changed. Kate still didn't join the topic, but the worry in her eyes became more and more. He knew the reason, "No one in the city could take me home, so I wanted to look outside. There was a woman outside who wasn't afraid of me at all. These were the words that Tang Paper Umbrella Demon chanted after him once, after which Tang The number of paper umbrella demons in the city began to decrease. Kate was very worried about this. He was afraid that the paper umbrella demon would provoke fairies or witches. Needless to say, witches have weird tempers. It is also "kind" to turn a prince into a frog. The fairies are arrogant and indifferent to ordinary people like them most of the time. If they feel offended, they are no more merciful than witches. This kind of punishment makes people wear dancing shoes that dance forever. Kate feels terrified just listening to it. Thought, now there is a lake fairy coming

These existences are high and high, and they are never different from ordinary people like them.

Kate realizes that she is not from the same world as the Tang Paper Umbrella Demon, so these days, she is just as if you can’t see her. You are just an ordinary person with nothing. If you want to live a good life, no one can provoke Kate to say this to herself again , lowered his eyes and continued stuffing slices of bread into his mouth mechanically, so that he would stop thinking about what he should do, which is to serve His Majesty well. If he is lucky, he might get one or two rewards to make his life richer...

It’s just that the low-pitched cries of the silly Tang paper umbrella demon and the weird laugh when it’s happy often linger in his ears. After a few days, Kate didn’t see the Tang paper umbrella demon again, but the lake fairy came to the palace to meet her. Due to everyone's fear of witches, the arrival of the lake fairy can be described as a city full of joy, rushing to tell everyone, only to put up lights and streamers to express everyone's welcome to the lake fairy. People in her city who have never seen the face of the lake fairy also talked about the beautiful appearance of the lake fairy and the legendary story with a smile on their faces. The lake fairy is indeed very beautiful

Her soft golden curly hair seems to glow in the sun, her delicate face, fair skin, gorgeous court dress and fairy wand in her hand all make her unique in people's minds, as if The most beautiful and bright jewels are different from those who are full of fantasies and curiosity about fairies. Kate is in awe and makes every action of herself meticulous, but she is secretly worried whether that silly Tang paper umbrella demon has met the lake fairy. If she is in the city, I hope she can hide well and not be discovered by the lake fairy. The good news is that the Tang paper umbrella demon was not found by the lake fairy. The bad news is that when Kate returned home, she saw the Tang paper umbrella demon sitting on the wall. she hurt

The bright red blood dyed the white clothes in large swaths of red. There was a fist-sized cavity in her chest, which was extremely terrifying. She leaned there, her big bright eyes were full of weakness, and she was no longer as bright as before. Kate approached, and the huge "head" of the Tang Paper Umbrella Demon lifted up, her weak eyes widened and then bent up, filled with happiness, and she said weakly and happily in a low and strange voice: "Kate is back ~Kate, you are back~ Do you have any apples today..."

Kate: "..."

Kate wanted to pretend he didn't see it. He forced himself not to look at the Tang Paper Umbrella Demon, and only looked at her from the corner of his eye. The Tang Paper Umbrella Demon had long been used to Kate's invisibility. "That woman in the forest is so unreasonable. Not only did she not send me home, but she also inserted a big red-hot iron pestle into my chest, cursing my bleeding...the blood really can't stop... "

"Even Lord Phoenix Fire never burned me like this. The naughtiest little cutie mountain rabbit even gave me candies. If Yingcao was here, he would definitely heal my wounds, but... I'm going to die now." ?

"If you die, can you go home?

"Master Qi Xuan said...you can go home this time..."

Kate has walked into the house in a "natural" manner, and the voice of the Tang Paper Umbrella Demon sitting outside is getting lower and lower. She began to whisper to Kate that she was picked up by Mr. Gu Huo Bird to take care of the "children". It's all the "story" that Tang Paper Umbrella Demon didn't tell Kate

"Master Gu Huo Niao has too many 'children' to take care of. We useless little monsters are called to help. Later, Kappa, Butterfly Spirit, Ancient Cage Fire, Boy, Girl... Shantong..." Tang The Paper Umbrella Demon counted the children with his fingers, and it took him a long time to finish counting them one by one, "... Ibaraki and His Highness Shuten, they have grown up, and they will come back to take care of us little monsters... I like them so much Yeah, but... But I want to go home more, I want to go home... Everyone grows up and has their own 'home'

"Lord Qi Xuan will never lie. The last sentence that Lord Qi Xuan said will come true seems to be in his mouth, and there is no more sound. Kate who is separated by a wall suddenly opened the door and stepped out. There is no way to pretend not to see Tang. The Paper Umbrella Demon, he stretched out his hand tremblingly and touched Tang Paper Umbrella Demon's nose without feeling any breath.

This kind of cognition made Kate feel like falling into an ice cave for a moment, but he quickly realized that the Tang Zhi Umbrella Demon said that she was a refined Tang Zhi Umbrella, not breathing...it should be normal, right?

Kate hugged the Tang Paper Umbrella Demon, and it felt unexpectedly light, just like the weight of an umbrella instead of the weight of a "person". Even wrapping it with a cloth towel didn’t help but the Tang Paper Umbrella Monster responded again. She didn’t wake up but her body couldn’t help shaking because of the pain, “It hurts…”

How to do?

she is dying

Kate stood there pale and helpless

He didn't know why he cared so much about this monster, maybe it was because she was moved by her story, maybe it was because of her silly appearance that people couldn't help worrying, or maybe it was the kind of satisfaction of simple happiness that looked at this monster. Every time because of a simple action, he will show a feeling of happiness and satisfaction, and he will also feel happy. Now the Tang paper umbrella demon is going to die...

But he doesn't want her dead at all

Obviously she is such an easy-to-satisfy monster, and she has never done anything terrible. She just wanted to go home and was in a daze. Kate's chaotic mind finally turned around. The names of people, these names may overlap with the characters in the stories His Royal Highness Qing Xingdeng said...

Maybe His Royal Highness Qing Xingdeng can save her?

I don't know where the courage came from, or it was just an impulse that I didn't want to restrain for a moment. Kate rushed out holding the Tang Paper Umbrella Demon. He sneaked into the palace that had closed the main entrance, and took a walk at night when the guards relaxed. After going in, he came all the way to the palace where His Royal Highness Qing Xingdeng lived, raised his hand and knocked on the door frantically, "His Royal Highness Qing Xingdeng... His Highness Qing Xing Deng...

"His Royal Highness Qing Xingdeng, I beg you, please save her..."

Kate didn't have much hope for his behavior, and he was even prepared to face the most terrible consequences, but he made the right bet. Not only did His Royal Highness Qing Xingdeng not punish him, but he also saved his body from getting colder and colder, and began to gradually The fading Tangzhi umbrella demon When the Tangzhi umbrella demon has not yet woken up, Qing Xingdeng wearing a long blue kimono sat there lazily, looking at Kate with a pair of extremely interesting eyes, "You know what will happen if you do this Consequences?"

"……I know

"Do you know that what you want to save is a monster? And it's one of the weakest monsters. It can't even change into a better body." I know

"In order to save such a monster, you are not even afraid of death?"

"...I was afraid, but...but I wanted to save her and he did it. Kate is just a small person, but no one has stipulated that a small person cannot do something surprising. too many humans

Those human beings’ love, hate, and infatuation sometimes make monsters feel ridiculous. I will regret it, but this is just most human beings, and there will be some clear-headed people who know what they are doing and what they will face. Looking at Kate's calm eyes, Qing Xingdeng thought, she likes this rare sobriety of human beings. But an impulsive person, for a monster...... not even his life "Take her back, I think you know what you are doing and what you want guest, did not say that he sent a gift out Kate brought the Tang Paper Umbrella Demon back

Facing the sleeping Tang Paper Umbrella Demon, Kate struggled for a while whether to put her back outside and continue to lean against the wall, pretending that she hadn't appeared before, but seeing that the Tang Paper Umbrella Demon was still sleeping in the bright sky, Kate dismissed the idea Thought he left the Tang Paper Umbrella Demon in his own home

As in the past, when she entered the palace to serve His Majesty the King, the Tang Paper Umbrella Demon was still sleeping when she returned home. After a few days, Kate suddenly opened her eyes one day, and saw the man kneeling beside him with wide-open eyes looking at him. The Tang Paper Umbrella Demon has the face of a human girl... the Tang Paper Umbrella Demon...

instead of an umbrella with one eye open

Confused Kate: "..."

The happy and smiling Tang Paper Umbrella Demon: "..."

Kate sat up all of a sudden, searched around the room and found that this woman is really a Tang paper umbrella demon, the clothes and temperament on her body can't deceive people, especially that silly and easy-to-satisfy smile "Your head... "Kate just started talking, and Tangzhi Umbrella Demon wowed happily, "Kate can see me!"

Kate: "..."

The Tang Paper Umbrella Demon is really stupid, thinking he just saw her

Because I can see the Tang Zhi Umbrella Demon, Kate is naturally entangled. The Tang Zhi Umbrella Demon used to just talk behind him when he met him halfway at night, but now it's almost the same. His gift, and occasionally craves his response when chanting Kate: "..."

Under the expectant eyes of the ordinary-faced Tang Paper Umbrella Demon, Kate couldn't help but responded once, twice, three times...

Kate also began to persuade: "Maybe you can find a new owner and have a new home. From the story of the Tang Paper Umbrella Demon, Kate also guessed that the owner of the Tang Paper Umbrella Demon was killed by robbers a long time ago. Time has changed, and I'm afraid I can't even find the house I used to be. Tang Paper Umbrella Demon always doesn't respond to this suggestion, just smiles slightly, and then says: "I want to go home, can you take me home? "

Two years have passed in this way, and Tang Paper Umbrella Demon has almost lived in Kate's house. Every day when Kate comes back, there will always be hot meals waiting for him at home, and he will often receive special gifts. Finally one day, Kate has eaten After the meal, he said to Tang Zhisan Yao: "I'll take you home. Tang Zhisan Yao, dragging his chin, sat up straight and looked at Kate Kate is always a cautious and well-behaved person. Not to mention a decision that could change his life. He spent two years thinking about this question, and now he has finally made up his mind, "I will take you home, but...you can use me as your home until you find the home you used to be." My Home is your home, okay?"

Tang Paper Umbrella Demon looked at Kate for a long time, bent her eyes and smiled. Whenever she showed such a happy smile, Kate always felt that the simple room would brighten up, "Okay, before you find your former home, your Home is my home and she finally has a home again

—Can you take me home?

- can you take me home
