My Opinion in Gensokyo

Because of the presence of bellflowers, the villagers who were able to rest assured and put all their energy into logging and moving tree trunks also quickly loaded a sufficient number of tree trunks onto wooden carts pulled by oxen, and a group of people began to drive away. mountain forest.

Bellflower, Shangyang, and Feng followed the villagers. Although they were about to leave the forest, Bellflower still maintained a certain level of vigilance, guarding against any wild beasts or even monsters that would suddenly attack the villagers.

Standing on the edge of the forest and the plain, after all the villagers had left the forest, entered the snow-covered plain, and headed towards the village, Kikyo was slightly relieved that nothing had happened.

And it was at the moment when Platycodon grandiflora was slightly relaxed, accompanied by a slight swaying of the bushes, a lone wolf with a body length of nearly one meter suddenly jumped up from the snow-covered bushes, and rushed towards Wei Weishen. Bellflower.

Of course, Kikyo would not be overwhelmed by such a sudden situation. Just when the wolf's sharp claws were about to touch Kikyo's white priestess clothes, the still-calm priestess had already raised her bow, her white hair Hold the nock of the arrow with his right hand, full string.

The arrow was not released, and just before Jijiao let go of the full-string arrow, Shang Yang, who was beside her, moved sideways in front of Jijiao, and grabbed the wolf's head that was rushing from mid-air with both hands. waist, and took advantage of the opportunity to press the wolf on the snow.

The wolf who was pressed by Shang Yang on the snow let out a low growl, twisting its body constantly, trying to get rid of the restraint, but this level of struggle was obviously nothing to Shang Yang, so no matter how the wolf Struggling, it was still pressed by Shang Yang's hand on the snow, unable to get rid of it.

Seeing that Shangyang had restrained the lone wolf, Kikyo also put down the bow and arrow in his hand, patted Feng, who closed her eyes in fear, and clung to her clothes, and comforted softly, "It's all right now, maple."

"I was a little careless, thank you, Shangyang."

"It's okay, Kikyo, you are also ready," Shang Yang replied indifferently after hearing this, "I don't need to worry about it, but now I am a little curious about this wolf. if……"

Looking at the thin wolf who was also staring at him with pleading eyes, Shang Yang thoughtfully let go of the wolf's hand that was holding the wolf on the snow.

After Shang Yang let go of his hand, the wolf stood up on all fours, shook off the snow on his body, turned his head to look at Shang Yang and Campanulaceae, then turned his head, leisurely After entering the forest, Shang Yang also stood up and followed.

Seeing this scene, Kikyo frowned slightly, turned around, took out a white charm from his sleeve, and warned Feng who had calmed down.

"Feng, take this and go back with everyone first, hurry up."

"Well, I see, my lord sister!"

Feng took the talisman paper, nodded vigorously in agreement, then turned around immediately, and chased after the villagers who were not far from the village. Although Kikyo had set up an enchantment in the village, the surrounding monsters did not dare to approach the village. But still, just in case.

On the other side, Shang Yang also followed the emaciated wolf for a short distance, only to see the wolf turn around and disappear behind the snow-covered bushes.

He also followed behind the bushes, and when he saw the situation behind the bushes, Shang Yang also showed such an expression.It was a dirt hole hidden behind the bushes, and the thin wolf was lying beside the hole, and as if smelling the smell, three wolf cubs came out from the hole, surrounded the old wolf, "Woo~" It seemed that he was very hungry, but the old wolf just licked the cub's fur over and over again, and then, tears flowed from the old wolf's fierce eyes, streaming on the cub's fur .

"Ha..." Seeing this scene, Shang Yang couldn't help but sighed helplessly, walked to the old wolf, bent down, and fumbled through his sleeves casually, "Fortunately, I still have something here."

Putting half a steamed bun in front of the young wolf, the young wolves seemed to smell the aroma of the steamed bun, one by one scrambling to come up to them, biting the steamed bun, but the old wolf didn't move at all, just quietly watched the young wolves gobble it up .

Seeing this, Shang Yang helplessly reached out and patted the old wolf's head again.

And at this moment, a white hand placed two simple rice balls beside the wolf cub, and seeing this white hand, Shang Yang was stunned for a moment, turned around, and the one who met him was the clear white platycodon. eyes.

"Jiangyou, this is a wolf..." Shaking his head, Shangyang reminded, "If they can't hunt other animals, they will attack humans."

Hearing Shang Yang's words, Ji Jiao just shook his head slightly, but didn't say anything.

"Well, it's nothing..." Seeing Kikyo's reaction, Shang Yang shrugged and said flatly, "It's hard for them to survive this winter, but if you're lucky, when the old wolf dies, the cubs will die." They will survive until next spring by eating the carcasses of old wolves. Of course, the premise is that they don't freeze to death."

Hearing Shang Yang's words, Kikyo was stunned for a moment, and turned his gaze to the cubs thoughtfully. Then, the calm-looking witch raised her hand and gently placed it on the heads of the wolf cubs who were devouring it. A gentle aura radiated from her palm.

Looking at Kikyo's actions in a little surprise, Shang Yang murmured to himself thoughtfully.

"Is this... a spell to prevent monsters from harming humans?"

After recovering from his own thoughts, Shang Yang couldn't help being stunned when he saw the situation in front of him, and hurriedly got up, chasing after the platycodon that was about to go away.

"Hey! Kikyo, don't just hug the little wolf and go away like this! Although you cast a spell, have you considered the feelings of the villagers?"

As a result, Shang Yang's complaints were completely unnecessary. After Jugeng assured the villagers that the old wolf and the young wolf would never hurt anyone, all the villagers believed it.

Well, you read that right, the villagers believed it directly...

The harshness of this winter has far surpassed the winters of previous years, especially after entering the coldest deep winter, even the ground has cracked due to the cold, but for the people of Maple Village, although this winter is hard , but under the protection of Mr. Kikyo, no one would die. The fence surrounding the village was erected on the third day after the villagers came back from felling the tree, and the excess wood was distributed to each family. Make firewood.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed, and Shang Yang also... Well, Mr. Shang Yang also lived in the shrine of Maple Village for more than a month, and the chances of going to the house where Kikyo and Maple usually live are pitiful...

... This is not the point. The point is that the villagers are getting used to the existence of the Shangyang in the shrine. When Kikyo is not at the shrine, after visiting the shrine, the villagers will also tell the Shangyang who is standing at the door and dazed in a daze , and asked him to help Kikyo convey the words "Everyone sends greetings to Miko-sama" to Kikyo.This made Shang Yang quite speechless, he really regarded me as the gatekeeper...

In 1514 AD, the second year of Yongle in the Tang Dynasty, and the 11th year of Yongzheng in Houbaiyuan in the eleventh district.

On the [-]th night of the Lunar New Year, although in this era, it is impossible for people to set off any fireworks and firecrackers in a remote rural area like Fengzhi Village, however, the villagers still prepared what they could in their homes according to the New Year's habit. Yes, the most sumptuous dinner.

The adults lit a fire in the center of the village. Although it was colder, most of the villagers still insisted on coming out, chatting with their neighbors, and eating the richest food they could make. Although, the so-called richest food Things are nothing more than rice balls with pickles and so on.

shrine.

"Jiaojie, you seem to have missed eating since morning?" Shang Yang casually asked Kikyo, who was half-kneeling and wiping the wooden floor with a rag, while cleaning up the dust behind the statue with a broom.

Kikyo didn't look up, but asked plainly.

"what happened?"

Early this morning, Kikyo was busy with the evening sacrifice. Although in this era, especially in rural villages, the annual sacrifice is just a simple worship of gods, Kikyo still tries to make the simple sacrifice solemn After a while, after the evening sacrifice, Kikyo didn't stop, and then began to clean up the shrine. At this moment, Feng was taking the old wolf and cubs that were temporarily raised next to the shrine to talk to the villagers in the village. The children played around by the fire.And Kikyo didn't intentionally stop Feng, so Shang Yang, who was also staying at the shrine, was caught by Kikyo, although he probably would have liked it too...

"Well, if you haven't eaten yet," Shang Yang shrugged and replied casually, "I still have some food here."

After a while.

Kikyo was a little puzzled when he opened the paper bag containing the food and saw what was inside.

"This is... a steamed stuffed bun?"

In the unfolded paper bag, five round, slightly yellow buns were revealed.

"Ah, buns stuffed with meat," Shang Yang picked up a bun casually and took a bite, "I know what you usually eat is very simple, but it's Chinese New Year, how about rewarding yourself once in a while?"

Did not refute Shang Yang's words, Kikyo was silent for a while, raised his hand to pick up a bun, and took a light bite.

Seeing that Kikyo looked so dignified and formal even when eating, Shangyang sighed helplessly and spoke leisurely.

"Human flesh..."

Hearing this sentence, Kikyo's expression didn't change at all, she just gently put the bun in her hand back, and then picked up the bow and arrow from the side, and the bow and arrow were completed in one go, the arrow pointed straight at her. Jumping Sheep.

"Hey, hey! I'm just kidding!" Shang Yang, who was sweating profusely as he felt the spiritual power on the Pomo Arrow that could blow his body into ashes, hurriedly explained, "This is pork! It’s from a city outside, don’t get excited! Calm down!”

Seeing Shang Yang's flustered explanation, Kikyo also showed a gentle smile, put away his bow and arrow, and spoke in a calm tone.

"I know."

"Uh..." Hearing this, Shang Yang had nothing to say, and continued to eat the buns depressed.

For the next period of time, neither of them had a conversation, they just drank tea and ate buns quietly.

In the end, it was Shang Yang who ended the silence.

Holding the old teacup, Shang Yang turned around and looked calmly at the platycodon platycodon in the distance in the middle of the village, and asked tentatively.

"How about a toast for Chinese New Year? It is said that this is the case in the mainland."

Hearing Shang Yang's words, Ji Jiao didn't answer, but turned sideways, took the initiative to hold the teacup with both hands, and raised it slightly higher.

"Uh..." Kikyo's actions made Shang Yang stunned for a moment, and then Shang Yang, who came back to his senses, also took the same gesture, holding the teacup in his hands with both hands, leaning forward, and gently touching the mouth of the pottery cup. Together, they made a not-so-clear sound.

"In the coming year, please take care of me."
