It's too difficult to fall in love with rewards

Chapter 128 128. As long as I am stronger than God, does it matter to me whether He exists or not?

The light in the tea room is bright, the noise is far away, the water surface is dark, and the dark water surface reflecting the lanterns is like a scene in a dream.

The girl who is ordering tea with a tea set, bathed in light, looks like a beautiful stage actress.

"Rinzi, order Ah Qing a cup of tea..." Madam Yue said kindly.

Rinko opened those big eyes, staring at Tachibana Qingxian intently.

There was a pitiful innocence in those eyes.

"Rinko~"

Madam Yue called out again.

"Understood……"

Rinko obediently responded, turned around and knelt down in front of the tea pot, looking at Tachibana Qingxian opposite.Her brows were slightly shy, and her white hands turned slightly pink, which was extremely beautiful.

Tangerine Qingxian's feathers are draped over her shoulders, and her sitting posture is casual.

But the more casual he is, the more elegant he is.

Not to mention his appearance, he has the demeanor of a son of a famous family, a son of a family, and a pampered young master at a glance; he also has a confident demeanor, and one can see at a glance that his heart is full of youthful ambition. There is a spirit of perseverance.

And those who are familiar with his soul can know him better.

He loves mathematics and sports, and likes geometry, calculus, swimming, and fitness; mathematics can keep his mind clear and exercise his thinking, and sports can make him have a strong body.

In addition, he also likes reading, but not much reading novels.

My hobbies are philosophy and classical drama, reading ancient Greek tragedies and Shakespeare's works.

The skin is very fair, and the fingers are still slender...Miss Rinko summed up in her heart that she had known him for several months, and Yuanyun's shoulders leaned forward slightly.

Tea is already ordered.

The indoor lighting is bright, which well reflects Rinko's girlish demeanor.

Ju Qingxian looked at her fair neck under the kimono, her waist was so thin that it seemed to be easily broken, and there were white origami cranes flying around her.

Rinko lowered her head slightly, looking very respectful.

But the corners of her mouth moved slightly, trying to hold back a smile when she wanted to.

"Master Qing..." When she came over with tea, she warned in a very soft voice: "Drink my tea and forget it, don't fantasize about me."

"I'm still worried that you're thinking about me..."

Tachibana Qingxian reached out to take the teacup.

The fingertips touched the girl's fingertips, and the fingers were moist and smooth, as if they were about to melt into his hands.Rinko Hagiwara also felt the heat on her fingertips, as if she had an electric shock, her heart beat rapidly, and she quickly retracted her little hand.

The two looked at each other.

Seeing his shadow in the girl's eyes, Ju Qingxian couldn't help but think of the time when he first met her.

In that izakaya, the two looked at each other in the same way, with vigilance and curiosity intertwined, as if they met similar animals by chance in the forest... Oh, by the way, isn’t Miss Miyuki’s izakaya for sale, how about Plate it out and give it to Mama Yayoi...

Thinking of this incident, Ju Qingxian couldn't help showing a smile on the corner of his mouth.

On the opposite side, Miss Rinko's face blushed uncontrollably.

The reminder of "favorite +10" floated in front of Ju Qingxian's eyes.

Ok……

This smile seems to have misunderstood Miss Rinko.

Ju Qingxian hurriedly took a sip of tea to hide his embarrassment.

"How?" Madam Yue asked with a smile.

Rinko Hagiwara lowered her head slightly and pricked up her ears to listen.

"Uh..." Ju Qingxian thought about it for a while, "The tea ordered by the girl is not as good as the one ordered by the old aunt."

Ms. Linzi's favorability -10, harvest points 100.

perfect!

Madam Yue gave him a helpless look.

Miss Linzi kicked him directly, but felt that it was not enough to relieve her anger, so she pinched his thigh hard under the table.Ju Qing jumped up in pain, and the scream made Xiao Wei wake up.

The blond girl yawned, her delicate cheeks were full of sleepiness, her eyes seemed to contain the morning dew.But she just opened her eyes and saw that Aunt Ying was there, so she crawled into her arms and continued to sleep in a daze.

The night is already deep.

The branches of the pine tree outside the window stretched in the air, like lines scribbled on blue paper with ink by a five-year-old child.

From time to time in the distance, there was thunder that shocked the surroundings, and the vision was still hazy due to the rain; the flames of the lanterns in the corridor were like road signs guiding the direction of the undead who were about to die.

"Ha~"

Miss Rinko yawned.

Affected by it, Madam Yue also covered her lips, her eyes filled with sleepiness.

Tachibana Qingxian and Hagiwara Rinko exchanged glances, got up and said to Mrs. Yue: "It's late at night, Aunt Yue should go to bed early, I'll send Rinko back first."

"Let the driver deliver it..." Mrs. Yue said with restraint of sleepiness.

"I have something to say to Rinko."

"How about this, let Rinko stay here..." Mrs. Yue still wanted to stay, but Mrs. Sakura next to her pulled her shoulders. She looked at her sister suspiciously, and only heard her sister say to her, "Stay here and stay with us." Is Xiaowei fighting?"

Oh right.

Only then did Madam Yue, who was a little dazed, react.

"It's still raining outside, Qing and the driver will take Rinko home..." Mrs. Sakura looked over.

"Ok."

Tachibana Qingxian left the tea room with Rinko.

When they got in the car, Rinko told them the name of the place, and the driver drove them away.

The two of them didn't talk all the way, just looked out of the window, the rain gradually stopped, and the whole Kamakura was filled with moist air.

On both sides of the street with few pedestrians, dotted street lamps illuminate the green trees and reflect light on the wet road.There are still rain clouds in the sky, but there are no stars or moon, and it is as black as if it has been painted with an oil-based pen.

Rinko leaned back on the chair.

The large back seat of the luxury car made her look even smaller.

It feels like the body has not yet begun to develop, but the advantage is that the face is very beautiful, and the piercing eyes are also very clear.The line from the neck to the chest has not yet swelled, and the small arms are thin and delicate.When Ju Qingxian looked at her, she glared dissatisfiedly, her eyes shot like nails.

One look and you won't get pregnant... Ju Qingxian retracts her gaze.

The Rolls-Royce Silver Angel walked through the streets of Kamakura and came to an alley near the sea with rows of paper lanterns hanging.

From the top to the inside, dozens of houses all have the same style.

No matter which door, there are dark lattice windows next to it, and they are all two-story buildings.Every household in the ancient house has old and heavy tile roofs, and cloth curtains are hung at the door, and an old woman in a smock peeps out from one end of the curtain sideways.

Feels like some unprofessional shops...

In addition to the old-fashioned ones, there are also modern shops full of pink light.

For example, in a shop that Tachibana Qingxian saw, there was a magnificent arch in the center, and a nude girl was painted beside the door. The girl was holding the shop's foreign signboard in her hand - "Don Juan", which was very delicately painted.

The girl with lights under the night is very eye-catching.

"Stop ahead, I need to go in..." Rinko Hagiwara said suddenly.

The driver parked the car at the entrance of an alley, Rinko got out of the car, and then easily got into the very narrow alley.Ju Qingxian quickly followed in. This alley could accommodate one person walking through it, but there were many trash cans on both sides.big
Rats, big and small, infested with impunity.

When they heard footsteps, the mice would scurry in the alleys, throwing the sewage on the ground everywhere with their long tails.

Rinko Hagiwara walked forward cautiously, clutching her sleeves, passing by the back kitchen doors that smelled of pungent cheap cooking oil fumes. Dirty alleys don't quite match.

Passing through this alley, you come to a small street that looks like a post-war black market, with billiard rooms and taverns lined up.Rows of sodium lamps and slightly whitish paper lanterns are regularly arranged in the darkness.

Several izakayas lined up in a row, and the old small TV moved to the side of the road was turned on and was broadcasting news.

Ju Qingxian followed Rinzi silently, and was led by her to turn left and right, and finally came to a place called "Rihezhuang".Entering the door is a courtyard with a small pond, and the scenery is not bad, but I don't know which room Rinko lives in, and she has no intention of taking Tachibana Kiyoaki home.

Tangerine Qing obviously rolled his eyes.

Behind the carved railings on the second floor is a row of bamboo poles for drying clothes.Mangrove skirts, briefs, pajamas, etc. are hung on the bamboo poles.

The light was quite dim, and the hazy clothes looked like human shadows. He easily found the school uniform of Dongwuzuru Middle School.

In the dead of night, the rain stopped.

The diamond-like starlight poured freely on the earth, covering the surrounding scenery with a dreamlike silver light film.

Rinzi, who was bathed in the moonlight, also turned her head to look at the school uniform with the crane badge on it, and suddenly said: "I will do my best to help with Mrs. Yue's matter."

"Did you find anything tonight?" Ju Qingxian asked.

"Wait for me, let me think about it..." Rinko Hagiwara sat on the lounge chair in the courtyard, frowned and thought for a while, took out her mobile phone and searched for a photo to show Tachibana Qingxian, it was a strange horror bird.

"Don't ask, just remember."

As the girl said, she immediately found a second photo.

It was a picture of a woman standing under a tree with a baby in her arms.

It looks normal at first glance, but if you look closely, you can find that the woman has a very sinister expression, and she doesn't have legs, as if she is floating in the air by some kind of ability.

"Is this a ghost?" Ju Qingxian asked.

"Well, it's a ghost. But..." Rinko was puzzled.

"Is there really a ghost? This thing should be something like a ghost story..."

"Unfortunately, this is not a strange story, but it is about the same. It is recorded in "The Story of Hundred Ghosts."

"Then this ghost..." Ju Qingxian looked at the composition, "The ghost holding the child? Is it a childbirth? The woman who passed away due to childbirth came to the world from Huangquan Kingdom to cause trouble..."

"That's right! In Volume 27 of "Konja Monogatari Collection", there is a story of 'Lai Mitsuro and others giving birth to daughters'. As you said, they are monsters who ask people to hold their children and give birth to dead women."

"I don't really believe this..." Ju Qingxian shook his head.

It's not that he doesn't believe in monsters, it's just that he doesn't believe that Mrs. Yue died during childbirth...

"I'm not sure about this, so I'll let you see the photo of the bird first..." As he spoke, Rinko Hagiwara found the first photo again, "Actually, the so-called ghost of giving birth, besides giving birth to a dead woman , and another category is birds..."

"Girl to catch the bird?" Ju Qingxian reacted.

He has done some research on various legends, folklore, and beliefs, and has read a lot of ancient documents, so he can quickly discover the problems.

"There are many kinds of female births in Japanese folklore. Specifically, there are birds that give birth to females. Some ancient documents mention herons..." Tachibana Qingxian sorted out the knowledge in his mind, "The reason why the female births Women and birds are associated because the cry is similar to the cry of a baby, so they feel scary. Although it is not very similar in reality, if you hear a sound like a baby crying in the grassland or by the river in the middle of the night, it will make people feel scared. Terrible, especially in an era of high infant mortality, people, out of inner fear, associate the phantom of childbirth with birds..."

"I don't have time to listen to your tirade!" Hagiwara Rinko gave him a blank look.

Ju Qingxian also gave her a blank look: "You have to prove that Mrs. Yue is a monster to be happy, right?"

"I'm not happy because of that, but because I'm more sober than you!" Miss Linzi looked angrily at this guy who would become stupid when mentioning Mrs. Yue, "Also, don't think that this Only your cognition of things in the world is correct. Let me ask you, our existence is preserved by being surrounded by solidified matter that lasts for a certain period of time, do you understand what I said?"

Ju Qing thought for a while, and replied: "There is an explanation in "Fu Sang Shen Ji": time is above the shape of objects. It is like a small drawer made by a carpenter for the convenience of housework. Instead, it solidified and formed the shape of this object. After a hundred years, the utensils have to be turned into spirits, deceiving people's hearts, in order to pay the gods!"

"That's a good answer, so I hope you can have more awe in this regard." Hagiwara Rinko nodded in approval, looked at him, and gradually became serious, "Gods only exist in human consciousness. Especially in Japan, good or bad is another matter, in short, God is harmonious. Believe it or not..."

"God is mellow, that's true." Ju Qing raised his eyebrows, and said in a tone that couldn't tell whether it was ridicule, sarcasm, or sarcasm, "From ancient times to the present, the emperor has declared himself to be a god." After the war, the emperor who claimed to be a god changed his words and said, "Yes, I am an ordinary person" after receiving General MacArthur's instructions to "stop being a god." So we can see that after [-] The emperor is no longer a god."

"..."

Rinko Hagiwara was speechless for a moment.

... Whose child is this, so eloquent, why don't you become a lawyer.

"Miss Rinko, according to this statement, can we think that Japanese gods can adjust their form according to their form?" Tachibana Qingxian asked sincerely, "For example, an American soldier with a pipe in his mouth and sunglasses can give me some instructions. , God is about to transform into something that you think you have, and you don’t have to worry about it... So, as long as I am stronger than God, does it matter to me whether He exists or not?"
