About the matter of Mrs. Chen's superstition in science

The tea leaves gradually settled in the boiling water, calming the room with the fragrance of tea.

Ruocai put the teacup on the tray and put it away, when she heard a crow cry suddenly, her shoulders sank when she raised her head, and after seeing what it was, she rubbed the crow's head with her fingers.The feathers touching the hand are a bit hard, and the eyeballs are also cloudy when you look closely. It seems that this crow is very old.

The crow seemed a little confused when her head was touched, she tilted her head and stared at Wakana for a long time, and touched her face with her wings from time to time.

The feather brushed against the itch, causing Ruo Cai to burst into a numb smile, "You naughty crow, stop itching to death hahaha, are you hungry? I'll find something you can eat."

Hearing Wakana's voice at close range, the crow let out a short howl, and flew away from the half-open window by flapping its wings in the next second.

"Ah, why did I seem to hear the crow saying 'the wrong person again' just now? How can the crow talk? Is it the aftereffect of staying up late? It seems that I have to go to bed early tonight." Wakasa patted her face and let I woke up a bit, only to realize the cumbersome ruffles on the cuffs, and my face turned red, she actually dressed like this to entertain guests.

It's not that the clothes are not good-looking. After all, the dresses worn at the prom are very different from the usual clothes. Wearing different clothes for different occasions is the basic etiquette for dealing with people.

Thinking of this, I didn't bother to prepare snacks, so I hurried upstairs and changed my clothes.

After Wakana cut the fruit and brought it to the living room, she found that Tanjiro was the only one left on the sofa, "Tanjiro, where is your friend?"

Tanjiro looked at the tea and fruit cakes she put on the table, and couldn't speak.

Just now news came from the crow that a ghost in Shinjuku attacked passers-by at night, dozens of people were killed, and the Geng team sent before was completely annihilated.Compared with the ghost who doesn't know when he will come back here, the situation in Shinjuku is more urgent, so Giyuu asked Tanjiro to stay and send a message to him when the ghost returns.

"Tomioka-san has to leave beforehand. I'm sorry, I have made you prepare so many things so hard. I will eat them all! There will be no waste!"

Tanjiro eats as soon as he says he wants to eat, and the eater who has been hungry for a year is stunned by Wakana, and said in a daze, "No, it's okay, don't force yourself to eat if you can't finish it, it will ruin your stomach..."

Tanjiro took the time to swallow and said, "It doesn't matter that I have rough skin and thick flesh. It's better to say that Wakana's handmade dim sum is delicious, and I can eat as much as I want!"

The facial features on Tanjiro's raised face changed, Wakana almost didn't recognize it, his brain was hit with a "bang" by the washbasin falling from the sky, he staggered under his feet, and said in a trembling voice, "Tan, Tanjiro, really You don't have to force yourself to finish eating..."

What answered her was the sound of chewing without stopping.

Wakana's biscuits were a little overbaked, crunchy and soft, and they clicked when bitten down. The sound in Tanjirou's mouth was like an amplified infinite loop, trying to pull people into the world of "click, click".

I don't know how long it took, but this kind of hell finally ended with the sentence "Thank you for the hospitality". Wakana's first reaction was to look at Tanjiro's stomach, but she didn't dare to touch it, and asked anxiously, "It must be very uncomfortable when it is so big. You don’t need to finish eating, Tanjiro is such an idiot, do you have trouble breathing? What to do? You will have indigestion..."

Before he finished speaking, Tanjiro fell forward because he wanted to stand up but was affected by his stomach. He knocked his head hard on the corner of the table. The loud impact almost made Wakana cry.

"I'm fine, I'm not boasting—" Tanjiro raised his head slightly, and pointed to his forehead that didn't bleed much, "I've had a hard head since I was a child."

"Fool!!!"

Tanjiro was taken aback by the crying curse, and the next second his whole head was wrapped in something soft, and the body temperature was transmitted through a thin layer of fabric, seeping into the skin and even the limbs of the whole body.

So warm.

For the first time since his family left him, he felt at ease, why should he cry for someone he had just met...

Wakana wiped away her tears indiscriminately, hurried upstairs to get the medicine box, after cleaning the blood carefully, she found that just as Tanjiro said, the damaged place was not deep, just some skin trauma.

With a cotton swab dipped in alcohol, carefully apply it to the wound to disinfect it, and whispered "pain~pain~fly away~" in a low voice like a coaxing child, which made Tanjiro laugh.

Laughing too hard caused a dull pain in the abdomen stretched by the food, Tanjiro covered his stomach from the pain and grinned, still grinning, "Wakana, you think I'm Gabako—"

Before the words finished, Tanjiro was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that he would easily mention the ghost, but the interruption was too abrupt, and he felt a little deliberate, he hesitated for a second, wanting to explain.

Wakaba didn't think much about it, just thought it was a stomachache when he suddenly didn't speak, took the medicine box, found some medicine for invigorating the stomach and eliminating food, took out one and handed it to him, "This is to promote digestion, eat it quickly, it must be bloated I'm so miserable, I'll cook some hawthorn soup for you again."

"Well, thank you."

Seeing Tanjiro take the medicine, Wakana heaved a sigh of relief and went straight to the kitchen.

Tanjiro forgot the embarrassment just now, obediently swallowed the white tablet, chewed it twice, twisted his whole face, and stuck out his tongue again and again, "It's so bitter! It's so astringent! How can there be such a bitter thing? , the medicine my father drank tasted much better than this...cough cough..."

After processing the ingredients and cooking them in the pot, Wakana saw Tanjiro pouring tea as soon as he came over, and quickly stopped him, "Why are you still drinking so much tea when you're so uncomfortable!"

Mouth full of bitterness, Tanjiro couldn't close his mouth, he said vaguely, Wakana took a long time to realize what was going on, annoyed and funny, "This is western medicine, swallow it with water, you can't bite it directly. "

Tanjiro sat there bitterly, looking like a countryman who doesn't know the world.

Wakana sighed for a long time, and only now did he discover Tanjiro's problem. He said that he had lived on Mount Untorori since he was a child, and now it seems that he knows too little about the outside world.

"Tanjiro."

The force exerted on his shoulders was gentle but undeniable, Tanjiro looked at the close face in astonishment, his own appearance was clearly reflected in those purple eyes, "What, Waka, Wakana?"

"Are you interested in helping me with my research?"

"...Eh? Eh——!!!"

……

After that, Tanjiro understood the meaning of Wakana's words, and he didn't really ask him for help, but taught himself a lesson in the name of research.

He can probably understand her painstaking efforts, but he is really not interested in these crooked letters.

"What's going on? Why is there blue sand? It's obviously a mixture of two liquids! What kind of sorcery is this?"

Tanjiro's eyeballs were almost stuck to the bottom of the test tube, and he was amazed at the changes that took place under his eyelids.

"It's not sorcery, it's crystalline copper sulfate from a chemical reaction,  …."

Wakana said a lot, but Tanjiro didn't understand a single word, but this didn't stop him from being curious and interested in all the changes that happened in the test tube.

The door to the new world slowly opened.
