[Shaoyin] like a short-lived epiphyllum

Like having a long dream, everything became unreal.The girl looked at the reflection in the lake and thought like this, when she stretched out her hand to touch the reflection, waves appeared on the lake centered on her hand, she lowered her eyes and sat on the ground in despair.

——I miss you so much, Ayako.

——"I really want to see you,□□"

"Miss Zhang Zi, where are you?"

Hearing someone calling her current name, the girl looked down at the reflection in the lake, but nothing changed, as if the voice she heard just now was just an illusion.However, someone here is anxiously looking for her, so she has to go back.

She was not from this world, and everything became unreal to her, even after living here for several years.After walking out of the bushes, she saw Aunt Lian who was questioning in front of the palace secretary, she trotted over guiltily and hugged her thigh.

"Don't worry this time, I told you that nothing will happen if Miss Zhang Zi stays here."

"I'm sorry, I'm usually a little worried about not coming back at this time. But it's really great, you didn't have any accidents."

Zhang Zi raised his head to look at Aunt Lian who was relaxed, and gently touched her frowning brow with his small hand, trying to smooth her down.This made Aunt Lian stunned, but what she said next made her hug the little lady in front of her.

"I'm sorry, Aunt Lian. Don't frown, Zhang Zi will go home obediently in the future, so that Father will also come to see Mother, right? Then Mother's illness will also recover, right?"

This is so distressing, isn't it, she is only a child, she should be at a lively age.

After bowing to the palace secretary, Aunt Lian picked up the young lady and walked home.Zhang Ziwo leaned on Aunt Lian's shoulder and thought about it. In this life, her mother was a concubine of the Fujiwara family, and her father was Mr. Fujiwara, the left minister in the palace.Back then, it seemed that it was love at first sight for her mother's beautiful appearance, so she was born.

——Zhang Zi, Zhang Zi has started playing the piano, is there anything you want to learn?

At that time, her father asked, she originally wanted to learn some self-defense techniques, but thinking that this is impossible in this world, she chose the method of letting her father come here often.

——Then, Father, please let me learn to play the piano too.

That's right, if I learn the same thing as Zhang Zi and the princess of Higashi Sanjo's family, he will come here often, and my mother will smile happily.she

After that, she followed the example of the princess who was born on the same day as her, learning what she is learning now.Then spend your life in this world in obscurity, that's enough.

"Mother, are you feeling better?"

She knelt and sat beside the woman's bed, and the woman coughed a few times and waved to her, and she also sat closer.The woman stretched out her arms to stroke her long black hair, and she smiled with white hair like snow.

"Mother is fine, please smile Zhang Zi. Fortunately, fortunately, you did not inherit me."

Zhang Zi asked with some incomprehension, but the woman just smiled and didn't answer.Sometimes, Zhang Zi really couldn't understand her mother in this life. When she opened her eyes and saw her for the first time, she seemed to see a snow-white epiphyllum.

"You have to come back early today, don't worry Aunt Lian."

Zhang Zi nodded, but something was different today. She forgot to go back at night, and Aunt Lian didn't come to look for her. Did something happen?

The Kifune Shrine at night was so quiet that Zhang Zi tightened her coat in fear, and she had to go back quickly.

when……

Zhang Zi stopped and looked at the way back with some hesitation.

when……

The sound of metal came from the depths of the mountain, and Zhang Zi stopped again.

—the sound of these nails is a curse.It is the echo of feelings and longing, the sound of the curse who is expecting someone to die.On this clear mountain of Guichuan, on that sacred tree trunk, stupid human beings sow filth.

There was such a voice telling Zhang Zi that she couldn't see the man's figure clearly, it was very blurry.On this pitch-black mountain, there were fireflies floating around the man, standing there with his hand pointing at another place.

Zhang Zi didn't know why, but he was not confused by his appearance here, but trotted in the direction he pointed.Tethered to a tree trunk near the shrine was a child about her age, trembling as a child.

She looked at the child suspiciously, showing up here at such a late hour.She walked over and squatted down to caress his head. The child with closed eyes put down his hands covering his ears, and slowly opened his eyes.

"It's all right now, don't be afraid, Gao Longshen will protect us."

She comforted him softly, and smiled as he opened his eyes for courage.

To stroke the boy's hair the way a mother stroked her head when she was afraid.

"Why are you here?"

"I, I came out with Grandpa."

He lowered his head and choked with sobs, clutching the rope around his waist tightly, as if he was about to cry in the next second.

"Where's your grandpa?"

"He told me to wait here alone, saying he would come back to pick me up. But he hasn't come yet, I'm so afraid of this voice."

when……

The sound of nails hitting the tree trunk was heard again, and the boy closed his eyes in fright.Zhang Zi blinked and walked to sit beside him, held his hand and said.

"Since you are afraid, let me wait for your grandfather with you, so that you won't be afraid."

"Mmmm."

Zhang Zi smiled, and began to sing the song her mother sang in her ear, a very gentle lullaby.Singing and singing chapters couldn't overcome the drowsiness, so I snuggled up with the sleeping boy and fell asleep.

>>>

Listening to Aunt Lian's lecture and the full of concern, Zhang Zi lowered her head and listened silently. She broke the agreement with her mother.That child must have been picked up by his grandfather in the end, Zhang Zi looked at the sky and thought, she has changed a lot since that time.

Walking on the street, you can always see strange creatures of different sizes, some running around in the street, and some hanging on people's bodies.After Zhang Zi went back and told his mother about it, she saw her mother flustered for the first time, and it was also the first time she hugged Zhang Zi tightly.

And on her birthday, her mother gave her a pair of hair accessories for her to wear all the time, and she nodded in agreement.In the following year, my mother's illness became more and more serious, and my father came here less and less.And at the moment of the mother's birthday, a stranger appeared in the family.

"Master Seimei, that child, that child is in your care."

As always, she came back after praying at Guishen Shrine, and saw her mother kneeling in front of an old grandfather.The begging mother, tears fell drop by drop, like petals falling.

"Ah, it's you."

There was a voice behind her, which also attracted the attention of her mother and grandfather.Zhang Zi turned around and saw a boy, the boy who was on Guichuan Mountain at that time. He blinked his amber pupils and shouted happily.

"Oh, Changho, this is the child you were talking about back then."

The old man walked over stroking his beard, knelt down and stroked her hair.

"Thank you so much for being by his side at that time. But it's not good to stay in that place so late."

"Yeah, I know. Grandpa?"

"My name is Seimei Abe, and I'm a friend of your Aunt Lian. That's my grandson, Masahiro."

"Well, I'm Zhang Zi."

After Zhang Zi finished speaking, he walked around Qingming and ran to his mother's arms. She was frightened, and when she heard that sentence, she seemed to disappear immediately.

"Zhangzi, you're going to live with Master Qingming these few days, cough cough!"

Seeing his mother coughing badly, Zhang Zi spoke in a panic.

"Mother! Zhang Zi won't go anywhere, just stay by your side!"

"Mother is fine, Zhang Zi is obedient."

Zhang Zi knew that her mother was lying, because the most obvious characteristic of her lying was that she was obviously distressed, but still smiled reluctantly.She still left with Seimei, even though she cried and begged not to leave, her mother still decided to let her go to Abe House.She wasn't sure if she would be able to see her after returning from this trip, but she felt that her mother had hidden many things, even if they would never see each other.

Along the way, in obscurity, even the happy mood of seeing the friends I just met became a little lost.She ignored him, had she forgotten him, or was upset at taking her away from her mother.

"Yes, I'm sorry."

Zhang Zi heard the childish voice beside her, and she raised her head, which had been looking at the ground.Seeing the boy's uneasy affection, she blinked slightly

With some dry eyes, after coughing a few times, his voice was hoarse.

"W-why say sorry?"

"because I……"

He was distressed and didn't know how to answer, Zhang Zi shook his head and didn't speak.He felt nervous, walked around his grandfather and walked by Zhang Zi's side, holding her by his side.

"I-I'll be by your side."

She looked at the firm look in the amber pupils illuminated by the setting sun. Zhang Zi was attracted by the firm look, and couldn't help but nodded with a smile and said.

"Then, it's agreed."

"Um!"

The thumb of the little hand pulls the thumb of the other little hand. This is an agreement, and it is an agreement between them when they were young.Abe Seimei nodded with a smile and watched his grandson pulling Zhang Zi to talk about that and this. He had a premonition that Zhang Zi was destined to be a "knot" of Chang Hao.
