The heroine of the fighting faction is the strongest

When I woke up early in the morning, Yuki went out for a morning run, and when I came back, I found that the time was only 05:30. The proprietress of the hotel was a kind old woman, and when she wanted to wake up Mr. Gojo and Mr. Dazai, she said : "Little girl, are you looking for those two companions? They have already set off."

Dongfang Xueji is unbelievable!I don’t know why, in her heart, Mr. Gojo is the kind of person who can lie in bed for a whole day...Mr. Nanami also said that if you find Mr. Gojo suddenly out of tune, don’t try to change him, such as knocking on his door When there is no one to answer, just leave, because Mr. Wujo has a tendency to get up.

I have to say that even if Xue Ji really likes Teacher Wutiao, she can't say something like "The teacher seems to be a hardworking person" without conscience. I thought the teacher would stay in bed today...

I didn't expect that she was too lazy!

"Are you tourists?" The proprietress brought a plate of dried plum rice balls for Xue Ji: "Please use, Granny Meijin's pickled dried plum rice balls are loved by the children on the island."

Is this treating yourself like a child?Xue Ji doesn't like to eat prunes, but she can't refuse the food that the old lady made early in the morning.While eating, he chatted with Granny Meijin.

Granny Meijin: "Little girl, are the three of you tourists?"

Xue Ji nodded: "I saw the tree saying that Ivory Island is a place that preserves folk customs, so I traveled with my teacher."

It is not easy for her to be faulted for saying this, because in Japan, there are still many such relatively "isolated" villages and towns, and almost every place has some preserved customs, so as long as she says this, she must be right. .

Moreover, as far as Xueji's own understanding of people is concerned, most people are very proud of the hometown where they grew up. Generally speaking, they praise the local customs to the locals and rarely step on thunder.

But this time, Grandma Meijin's reaction was beyond Xue Ji's expectation.Granny Meijin was stunned when she heard Xue Ji say this, and then said reluctantly: "Then you must have been cheated, Ivory Island, there are no good customs."

Seeing that Xueji didn't seem to understand, Granny Meijin said again: "A little girl like you, it's best not to stay on the island for too long. It's not good for you, understand?"

It seems that Granny Meijin seems to know some inside information.

Xueji wanted to ask more questions, but was worried that she would touch bad memories of Granny Meijin. In a dilemma, she heard a child singing outside. It vaguely seemed to be the nursery rhyme called "Hua Yiwen" that the system said .

"Lovely girl, if you want to take her away, please send me a flower

Lovely girl, if you want to take her away, please send me a letter of flowers.

The stranger with the medicine box is here

Here came the stranger with the medicine box on his back.

Has a stranger with a medicine box come to my house?

Dad opened the door to meet him,

Mom turned away and wept.

When the outsider opened the medicine box, it was dark inside.

'How many flowers does a lovely girl have? '

'I'm so happy to win. '

'It's really not reconciled to lose. '

The stranger with the medicine box on his back left.

The stranger with the medicine box on his back left.

Dad closes the door.

Mom is still crying.

Cute girl, if you want to take her away, please send me a flower

Lovely girl, if you want to take her away, please send me a letter of flowers. "

It is obviously a very cute song, but there seems to be a story in it that makes people think deeply. Xue Ji listened to it seriously, while Granny Meijin was stunned.After the children outside the door sang the first song "Hua Yiwen", they started to sing another song. This time Xue Ji didn't know the name of the song.

"The black monster came with a quilt

The black monster walked into the house under the quilt

Sister sleeps on the floor, brother sleeps on the bed

Where does my brother sleep?

brother sleeping under the bed

The black monster got under the bed under the quilt

My younger brother was captured by a black monster—"

...It sounds like a ghost story, Xue Ji complained in her heart, but Granny Meijin woke up like a dream, she stumbled and ran to the door, worried that she would fall, so Xue Ji also chased her out, at this time she Hear the children sing the last line of the lyrics:

"—brother was thrown under the elephant's trunk."

Then Granny Meijin scolded: "Go away! Go away! You bastards! This is not what you sang!!!"

The children yelled, "The old hag is mad," and all ran away.

After returning again, Granny Meijin seemed to be suddenly drained of energy, and she tiredly told Xue Ji a story: This is a true story that happened on Ivory Island.

It turned out that for nearly 50 years after the war, this small island had been very poor, and the people on the island could not raise all their children in order to survive.

They will keep the eldest son, and the second son will be taken away by the monk and thrown under the Elephant Trunk Cliff.

When Granny Meijin said this, she closed her eyes tightly and shed tears: "I have two children, both of whom were thrown there."

"—As for girls... they are usually very miserable. Although they can survive, the pain would be worse than death," said Granny Meijin, ""Hua Yiwen" tells the story of selling a girl."

"At that time, traffickers came to collect children every month..." She seemed to be numb: "They would come with the medicine and the box. After the children were stunned by the medicine, they could take them away."

"If they don't want to buy the child, the parents will close the door, but if they want to sell the child, they will invite traffickers in. They will negotiate the price, which is the meaning of 'spend a penny'. If the price goes up, it means 'win' I'm so happy', when the price was lowered by human traffickers, it's like 'I'm so unwilling to lose.'

"...My sister was sold. Almost every family on the island has had this kind of thing. Get out of here, little girl, this is not a good place to study."

-

Xue Ji almost escaped from the hotel.

She regretted asking Granny Meijin about the past, it was too heavy.When she heard Mr. Dazai talk about abandoning children before, she didn't expect the truth of the matter to be like this... throwing boys off the cliff and selling girls, isn't that from the very beginning that they were not prepared to let them survive?

So why are these children being born?

She couldn't figure it out, so she decided not to think about it.

[Sorry, Xue Ji, if possible, please treat this as a task. 】

Dongfang Xueji: "...um."

It's just a task, so don't delve too deeply into the past.

[If it really doesn't work, hand over the task to Gojo Satoru and Dazai Osamu!Anyway, there are teammates this time, so Xue Ji can be passive and sabotage! 】

No, the system, you touch your conscience and say, is it really appropriate to instigate your host to be a salted fish...

【You don't need to work hard now, Xue Ji, you are no longer the captain or referee. 】

Yes, Dongfang Xueji, who was deprived of his status as a referee, became an ordinary member of the "Justice Squad".

Teacher Wutiao: "Xue Ji, teacher Wutiao, the captain of the justice team, now orders you to go on an adventure with the teacher on the Elephant Trunk Cliff!"

Dongfang Xueji: "..."

Mr. Dazai: "Yuki, Mr. Dazai, the advisor of the justice team, now asks you to go to Qingguang Temple to help study the monk's notes!"

Dongfang Xueji: "..."

She stared at her mobile phone, there were two brand new messages on it, from Mr. Wujo and Mr. Dazai respectively—these were obviously two different routes, and after choosing one, she would miss the progress of the other.

Not knowing why, Xue Ji subconsciously felt that no matter which one she chose, she would have to deal with the other person next... That was really too difficult!

For some reason, Mr. Dazai always has a bit of eccentricity (it’s not polite to say so, but Yuki can’t think of a better adjective), and Mr. Gojo has learned how to show weakness... There were a few times, Yuki felt that he was just pretending , But just thinking about it in her heart makes her feel guilty!

As expected of you, Mr. Wutiao, others really can't do it!

So she had to send two cold messages: "No need, I decided to explore alone!"

She really doesn't want to be a salted fish!

No matter how dark the past is, it will pass, and most importantly, she is determined to investigate the secrets of this island.

How did you say that sentence?Scars can only heal when exposed to sunlight.

【Okay, Xue Ji, then you can go to the "House of the Apes". A religious person once went there to investigate, and he left some clues. 】

The author has something to say:

The story of Hua Yiwen is basically derived from a story in "Folklorist Yakumo" (should it be called this? In short, the protagonist is Yakumo tree).

All in all, rather depressing.
