Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 189

Caesar and Chu Zihang quietly observed the strange girl.

They didn't make a sound, just moved their fingers, and folded the square paper into a thousand paper cranes step by step.

At the entrance of the mourning hall, the maids came slowly pushing small wooden carts, which were loaded with Buddhist beads and Buddhist scriptures.

They distribute Buddhist beads and Buddhist scriptures to each table on a per-person basis. When monks perform rituals, relatives need to hold Buddhist beads and Buddhist scriptures, chant scriptures together, and pray for the dead. People who are not relatives also need to hold Buddhist beads and pray together.

When they came to Lu Mingfei's table, the maids respectfully saluted the red-haired girl and brought her a cup of brewed green tea.

The girl turned a blind eye to this behavior and behaved normally, as if she was often treated like this.

Chu Zihang and Caesar looked at each other, got up from their seats, went to the small cart, and picked up four strings of Buddhist beads and four Buddhist scriptures respectively.

"Did you hear that, Inuyama He called her 'Patriarch Uesugi'." Caesar pointed to the red-haired girl with his eyes, put his arm around Chu Zihang's shoulder, and was almost talking in Chu Zihang's ear.

"Understood." Chu Zihang also responded with a slight voice: "The surnames 'Uesugi' and 'Yuan' are the three major surnames of the Sheqi Ba Family. Her identity may not be simple."

"Go out and talk about it." Caesar let go of his shoulders, glanced at the girl's wine-red hair out of the corner of his eye, and placed the prayer beads on the table.

"Miss Kumiko, can you tell me where the nearest toilet is?" Caesar asked with a smile.

Kumiko was one of the three maids that Inuyamaga had introduced to them before. On the way to the mourning hall just now, Caesar talked to her a lot, and with his social skills, he was already very familiar with her.

Miss Kumiko nodded and said, "Please follow me."

Chu Zihang glanced at Lu Mingfei, made a gesture with his palm facing down to tell Lu Mingfei to "stand still", put the Buddhist scriptures in his hand on the table, and went out with Caesar.

Only Lu Mingfei and the girl were left on the seats.

The girl looked thoughtfully at the white paper being folded into a thousand paper cranes. She took a piece of paper from the table and buried herself in folding it.

She clumsily folded the paper from left to right, and folded the rectangular paper in half up and down. After fumbling with her fingers for a while, she only folded a square, and it was a small square formed by simply folding the square paper in half.

She picked up a folded origami crane from the side and put it in the palm of her hand together with the cube.

A pair of round eyes stared, tilted his head, as if he was wondering, "Obviously I think he folded it like this, why is it different when I make it?".

Lu Mingfei wondered why Yuan Zhisheng's younger sister was so stupid when she was so old.

The last time I met her was the same. Sitting next to the telephone pole, my clothes were soaked, and I refused to stand up when I held an umbrella for her. I didn't know what she was protecting in her arms. It was wrapped in a gray cloth. It was raining, and the package in Yuanyuan didn't want to get caught in the rain. In the end, Yuan Zhisheng took her away with a big all-round awning.

Lu Mingfei thought about her and thought that he probably wanted to learn how to fold a thousand origami cranes, so he took a blank piece of paper, pointed at it and asked, "Do you want to learn?"

The girl raised her head and looked at him, looking at him in confusion.

Lu Mingfei realized that what he just said was Chinese.

Does she not understand Chinese?
Also.

All the people sent by the Japanese branch can speak fluent Chinese, obviously specially selected for their convenience.

At the end of the day, Lu Mingfei almost forgot that he was in Japan, not China.

Of course, this underworld princess has no reason to learn Chinese. Even if she is going to travel in China, she can handle everything with a bodyguard who can speak both Chinese and Japanese. Why does it take so much effort to learn the most difficult language system in the world?
Just a pinyin can make foreigners collapse, let alone those polyphonic characters.

So Lu Mingfei cleared his throat and said in Japanese, "Do you want to learn origami?"

His pronunciation is fairly standard, after all, he stayed in Weiming for two years and heard so much.

I also use Japanese for chatting and typing with Master Erika on the Internet.

Although at the beginning he had to rely on Norma to type the Chinese translation and then send it over, but because he found it troublesome, he also learned Japanese by himself.

Don't forget, he also worked in Professor Guderian's laboratory for a semester.

In the research room of Kassel College that studies philology, there are many researchers who can speak eight languages.

He helped Professor Guderian with some work on weekdays, and would ask his seniors about Japanese-related knowledge.

Today he is different from the past.

Ordinary daily communication, even writing, can't trouble him.

The girl seemed to understand what he said, nodded, took out a notebook and pen from her arms, and wrote: "I want to learn how to fold a bird."

"Then watch how I do it, let's fold it together." Lu Mingfei handed her a piece of paper.

Speaking of which, the first time Lu Mingfei folded a thousand origami cranes was taught by Chen Wenwen.

At that time, the girls in the class were very popular in folding little stars and paper cranes.

The folding method of the little star is to make a pentagonal knot with a finger-thick paper tape, and then go around along the edge, around to the end of the paper tape, and then stuff the last bit of extra space into the gap, A flat pentagon can be made.

Squeeze in along the sides of the pentagon, and it will suddenly become three-dimensional and become a small round star.

It is said that if you collect 99 little stars, you can make a wish come true.

When the girls are out of class, they gather together, fold little stars, and some people will write love letters on paper tapes, stack up to 99 and put them in jars, and give them to people they like.

Qianzhihe is similar to Little Xingxing, but the folding method is different.

Lu Mingfei saw Chen Wenwen folding a thousand origami cranes during his lunch break, so he approached her cheekily, wanting to have a few more words with her, and to test who she was going to give these origami cranes to.

In the end, who did the jar of paper cranes go to?

Anyway, I didn't give it to him. I think Chen Wenwen took it home and kept it for herself.

Now that jar may be in Zhao Menghua's hands, at least 200 of them were folded by him.

Hmm. Why does it feel weird?

Lu Mingfei shook his head, shaking off these messy memories.

"First of all, fold the paper in half from left to right." He slowed down his speech, splitting the movement of folding a thousand paper cranes.

The girl followed suit and folded the square paper into a rectangle. Before Lu Mingfei could say the next step, she tried to fold the rectangle paper in half as she did just now.

Lu Mingfei quickly stopped it: "No, you need to lay the paper flat first, and then fold it again from top to bottom."

Then he picked up the paper in his hand, put it in front of the girl, folded it in half from top to bottom,
The girl nodded as if suddenly enlightened, and followed suit.

Then Lu Mingfei folded the paper in half diagonally, and after unfolding, a star-shaped crease appeared in the middle of the paper.

Then a miraculous scene happened. After the upper half was pulled to the middle line and folded, the original flat paper became a rhombus-shaped three-dimensional, like a kite.

The girl's eyes suddenly moved, as if a child saw a magic trick to transform a living being.

She also tried to do the same, but failed to fold a triangular three-dimensional shape.

She tilted her head again, looked at the paper in Lu Mingfei's hand, and then at the paper in her own hand, as if she couldn't figure out what went wrong.

Lu Mingfei was amused by her stupid and cute appearance.

"Let's spread out the paper first, and I'll do it again. This time I'll do one step, and you will follow suit."

As soon as the words were spoken, a sense of familiarity came to my heart.

It seems that he is playing games with Master Erika on the Internet, and he also talks like this.
This happens a lot when playing Uncharted 2 with Master Erika.

"Sakura" must be guided by hand. In the process of solving puzzles, many times you have to demonstrate first. Sometimes one time is not enough, and you must split it in slow motion like just now.

This conversation is too visual
By the way, what is the name of Yuan Zhisheng's younger sister?

He still doesn't know that so far, he has only met two sides, and he has not said more than ten sentences in total.

Patriarch Inuyama referred to her as Patriarch Uesugi!

Is she the head of the house!
Uesugi, isn't this one of the three surnames of the Snaki Eight Clans!
Only then did Lu Mingfei realize how important he had missed.

The names and surnames of these people in Japan are too difficult to remember, and he didn't get the numbers right for a while!

He suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the girl.

Anticipation flashed in the unique rose-coloured pupils, and the girl pointed to the flat paper in her hand, as if urging her to hurry up and teach the next step.

Lu Mingfei paused, suppressing the surprise in his heart, and slowly folded the square paper into a diamond shape again.

This time, Patriarch Uesugi also succeeded.

She held up the origami, and the sunlight shone through the window on her white jade-like delicate arms, and a faint smile appeared on her face, which was very beautiful.

Lu Mingfei didn't rashly ask for the name of Patriarch Uesugi. Caesar and Chu Zihang must have gone out to discuss this matter, and they should discuss it after they come back.

Here, let's stabilize Patriarch Uesugi and play origami games with her.

He continued to teach, and the two had a tacit understanding, one step for you, one step for me.

The more you fold it down, the more familiar Lu Mingfei feels.

He felt like he was playing a game face to face with Master Erika.

In the past six months, seven days a week, he would play various online games and single-player online games with Master Erika basically five days a week, and Finger also took the ID of "Violent bear" to play with them.

That is, after returning to China during the winter vacation, he spent much less time online, only occasionally chatting with the master and posting emoticons.

A person who chats with you basically every day, you can judge whether it is her by the tone and habits of speaking.

It has to be said that the speaking habits of Patriarch Uesugi and Master Erika are simply too similar.

Could these two be the same person?
No way. Sir, is it such a coincidence?
In the vast sea of ​​people, casually know a netizen who is one of the three main surnames of the Eight Snake Qi Family, or an ignorant and beautiful girl with different colors and different eyes. What kind of Japanese-style vulgar light novel is this?
Wait, it doesn't seem like they met casually.

The first time he came into contact with Master Erika was on the battle leaderboard of "Street Fighter". As long as he played this online game, with his level, he would fight against the master sooner or later.

It is normal for the top players to know each other.

wrong!What are you thinking!The eight poles haven't been written yet!

Why did you get up YY?
I must have watched too much anime recently!

He's not Brother Zhi, he can pick up a beautiful almighty angel who fell from the sky while walking on the road and take it as his master.

Finally, in the violent thought storm in his mind, he finished the last step.

With his fingers, he pinched the opposite corner of the thousand paper crane's body and pulled it gently. The thousand paper crane's wings spread and its body gradually bulged.

The thousand paper cranes in the hands of Patriarch Uesugi also became three-dimensional.

She held the paper bird in both hands, gently raised it to her chest, looked down, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

After looking at it for a long time, she put down the paper crane, took out a black pen from her bosom at the same time, lowered her head, leaned over her desk, and carefully wrote "Eri Yi の" on the left wing of the paper crane. After a slight pause, Written on the right wing: "Bird"

She named this Thousand Paper Crane to swear that it is her property, it seems that she is very possessive.

Eri Yi の Bird
Seeing this familiar naming method, Lu Mingfei took a deep breath.

"Can you lend me your pen?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Patriarch Uesugi generously took out another pen from his pocket, and wrote on the notebook: "This pen is for you, thank you for teaching me how to fold a bird."

Lu Mingfei silently took the pen, and casually pulled a piece of paper over.

He lifted the cap of the pen, and the black lines meandered on the white paper, and the soft lines connected from top to bottom to form a closed whole, with curved eyebrows and grinning mouth.

It's a pity it's not brown, otherwise, this wave will be a lore.

Patriarch Uesugi's eyes lit up when he saw this artwork, and he stood up suddenly.

Holding another pen in her hand, she walked over to Lu Mingfei who was sitting across from her, and swayed her artistic skills on the paper.

Seconds later, the singles became twins.

"Once upon a time there was an elephant." Lu Mingfei wrote on the paper.

"There is also a little white rabbit." Patriarch Uesugi wrote on the paper.

"You are.Sakura?" Patriarch Uesugi hesitated and wrote.

Lu Mingfei had a complicated expression. He took out his mobile phone and opened the QQ chat box. The photos of the rockery and the photos of antique calligraphy and paintings were on the same screen, which was very poetic.

The girl was stunned when she saw this picture.

Then she fumbled anxiously through her clothes, frantically fumbled for a mobile phone, pressed the power button, and looked anxious.

This short ten-second boot time seemed unusually long to her.

She pointed to the phone, and then to herself.

She opened her mouth, but closed it again, carefully grasping a handful of clothes at the collar of Lu Mingfei, staring at him intently, as if afraid that he would disappear out of thin air.

There were uneasiness, panic, and tension in her eyes, but she could not see joy.

For some reason, Lu Mingfei felt a little distressed. He stood up and gently patted the girl's head.

The girl withdrew her hand sharply, raised her head, held the phone tightly with both hands, and looked at Lu Mingfei with her mouth pursed.

"Erika! Calm down!" At this moment, Yuan Zhisheng's voice came from outside the door.

Tatata!
He hurried to the girl's side with big strides and separated the two.
