It's too difficult to fall in love with rewards

Chapter 87.
The distance from Kamakura Wenhuakan to Hegang Hachiman Shrine is less than two kilometers.

It takes half an hour to walk there.

Tachibana Kiyoaki and Hagiwara Rinko held the same umbrella and walked towards the three huge torii gates standing in front of the shrine.

Facing Sagami Bay here, the scent of the sea tide and the scent of budding plants are mixed together to form the unique smell of Kamakura passing through the nasal cavity.

"Is there anything special in Hachiman Shrine?" Tachibana Kiyoaki asked, looking sideways.

"This is one of the three major Hachiman Shrines in Japan."

Rinko Hagiwara answered gracefully.

"Tell me something I don't know."

"In your opinion, what are temples and shrines?"

"A temple is a place to worship the ancestors. The ashes are buried in the tomb, and the monks guard the tomb. As for the shrine, the pilgrims are robbed by the temple, and some young and beautiful maidens have to be found to attract attention."

"..."

Hagiwara Rinko really wanted to smash his dog's head off.

How dare you say that Miko is just there to attract attention, how rude!

The pair of glass-like eyes exposed under the umbrella eaves looked at Tachibana Kiyoshi's beautiful but bored face: "Temples and shrines are places for practitioners to cultivate!"

"Practice?"

"The difference is that monks don't recognize the existence of the soul. They believe that the soul will reincarnate after death, and there is no such thing as ghosts. Shintoism believes that everything has a spirit, and even the broom will die after a long time. Derived from Fusangshen."

"The monks can chant scriptures to eliminate disasters, pray to eliminate demons, and witches also do this work?"

"The witch is the messenger of the gods to communicate with the world."

"That's the master of ceremonies presiding over the sacrificial ceremony."

"..."

Rinko Hagiwara was choked again and couldn't speak.

"Ahem!" She resisted the urge to get angry, and put her hands behind her back, "Be careful, God will blame you!"

"It's all the same thing, it's boring if the gods are so stingy." Ju Qingxian said nonchalantly, and then asked: "By the way, where are the gods?"

"Of course it is..."

The girl looked up.

The sky seen through the transparent umbrella is a thick and rainy day that is common during the cherry blossom season, and it is hazy.

"Are you talking about being in the sky? It's a bit unreasonable..." Ju Qingxian looked at the sky and said thoughtfully, "Although Japanese mythology is greatly influenced by Chinese mythology, it is not the same as those who sit proudly in the sky in China. The gods looking down at the bottom are different, aren't Japanese gods generally found in fields, mountains, crossroads, rivers, etc.?"

"Don't be so absolute in everything, isn't Amaterasu God in the sky?" Hagiwara Rinko put on a gesture that insisted on persuading him, "Gao Tianyuan, an island in the clouds floating in the sea, is as close to the people living on the ground as Ashihara China." Huang Quanguo, where the underground undead gather, together constitutes the Japanese mythology system."

"Isn't that a fiction in the "Ancient Matters"? How old are you? You actually think that there really is Amaterasu?"

"...You bastard, can you stop thinking that your cognition is absolutely correct!"

While talking, the two had already passed the third torii gate, and a stone arch bridge blocked by a fence appeared in front of it, with walking paths on both sides;

Under the bridge is a waterway connecting two artificial lakes, Heike Pond on the left and Genji Pond on the right.

Even in the rainy weather, Hachiman Shrine still has many tourists.

A housewife holding a child and greeting;
An old mage holding a camera and taking pictures everywhere;
Boys and girls holding umbrellas.

The boy is wearing a black kimono, the girl is wearing a white dress and black skirt, and the picture of the two walking side by side has an indescribably sad beauty; although they are close together, an umbrella is always not big enough, and the girl's hair has become wet and blood Circulation is more clearly revealed on the skin, with a subtle pink tint to the cheeks.

Everyone who passed by couldn't help but look at them.

The two are still very young, but at first glance, it is a picture of their faces in the same frame, which naturally overflows with a sense of sweetness that is within reach;
There is also their superfluous elegance that is as if there is no one else around, even ghosts and gods are not afraid, even time will be confused, slowing down the pace of the passage of time.

Miss Linzi in the rainy day is really pure;

Although the figure is very barren, it makes the facial features particularly delicate and lovely; she has the so-called sense of transparency, which can make Tachibana Qingxian feel like the light-colored morning glory observed when writing an observation diary in elementary school, or through the colored glass bottle Light in the shadows.

The two walked up the stone bridge side by side.

The drizzle fell, causing ripples on the surface of the pool, and the rain and fog mistly enveloped the shrine with red walls and black tiles.

"Walking in the rain like this is like walking on the stone road in Heian-kyo. There is a sense of trance traveling through thousands of years." Rinko Hagiwara stretched out her small hand from the umbrella to feel the smell of the sky brought by the rain.

Her slender and white wrists are like the whiteness of a carp's belly, revealing a hint of cunning, and Ju Qing obviously irresponsibly suspects that she is using such small thoughts to confuse herself!

In order not to be bewitched, the boy looked away and resumed the topic just now.

"The reason why I think my cognition is absolutely correct is because when I observe things, I will never substitute myself into it."

"I hope you don't forget that the act of observing itself will also affect the object."

The communication between Rinko Hagiwara and him was like wanting the other party to obey him in every sentence, and every sentence was like a debate contest.

"You mean quantum mechanics!"

"It's the principle of uncertainty. It means that correct observation results can only be obtained in the state of non-observation." Hagiwara Rinko tilted his head to look at him, and the two looked at each other, "Listen up, Tachibana-san!"

Tachibana showed a disrespectful expression waiting for a rebuttal.

"The subject and the object cannot be completely separated, that is to say, there is absolutely no possibility of a completely objective third party. As long as you interfere with any event, um, observation is also a kind of interference, and the event will change accordingly. For example Your identity is a detective. You have been involved in the matter since the beginning of the investigation, but you still want to say that you are absolutely objective. This is an extremely stupid statement. The real complete objectivity can only be known after the lid is opened. The same is true for observing events."

Hagiwara Rinko's voice was bright and cheerful, as if a top student was arguing with the teacher about the answer to a difficult problem.

"You also said that you are not talking about quantum mechanics! Also, please pay Schrödinger the copyright fee!" Ju Qingxian was the top student who refused to accept the teacher.

"Humph!"

Rinko Hagiwara smiled triumphantly.

"I brought you here because I had a premonition about something ominous about you and Mrs. Yueji." She said meaningfully.

"Mrs. Yue?"

Ju Qing was hit in the heart.

"Yes, it might be Mrs. Yueji, your biological mother." The girl nodded slightly and said.

When she lowered her head, there happened to be a wind blowing, and the back of her neck was exposed to the air, so it must have been chilly.The skin there is fair and delicate, which may be the reason for the transparency on her body.

Ju Qingxian subconsciously touched his neck with the palm of his hand.

Hagiwara Rinko narrowed her eyes, and continued to speak in a proud tone: "Look, when it comes to your biological mother, your will is weakened, and you still say that you don't have an Oedipus plot? Who would believe it. I can judge with certainty now, you I have some kind of special affection for Mrs. Yue Ji."

Ju Qingxian did not deny this.

Even if it is denied, it is meaningless, she can see through it at a glance.

"Remember, don't lose your calmness, and don't be blinded by the facts you see with your eyes. If you intervene in the wrong way with preconceived ideas or as a person involved-maybe a tragedy."

The girl spoke intermittently as if advising him.

To intervene in the right way...

How to do it?

Tangerine looked pensive.

At this moment, in the girl's eyes, he couldn't feel any signs of wanting to refute her. No matter how cold his appearance was, it had nothing to do with the coldness of his heart—it was just a low-temperature mental performance of fatigue.

"Anyway..."

Rinko Hagiwara waved her hand slightly, as if dispelling the bad luck that enveloped him.

"It seems that I shouldn't scare you too much, but since I have observed that, as a priestess, I need to maintain my own..."

"boom!"

The thunder that exploded on the ground interrupted the girl's voice.

In an instant, the strong wind and raindrops came towards the ground suddenly.

A man in white overalls yelled "It's raining" and ran into the worship hall to hide from the rain. The housewives and tourists who were holding their children also started running.

Before Ju Qingxian could react, he saw the strong wind blowing the straw curtains from nowhere, and the petals danced in the air like monsters.

Amidst the flashes of lightning and the dull thunder, Kamakura, which had just shown signs of clearing after the rain, was once again shrouded in darkness.

"...I really can't tell."

Rinko Hagiwara muttered to herself.

Her hair, which hadn't been tied up in the first place, was even more disheveled by the strong wind. Her snow-white neck was as fragile as a slender branch resisting the strong wind, which made people feel a little pitiful.

"Where do you go to hide from the rain?"

Tachibana clearly stood in the direction of the wind.

"Front, the Kagura Temple..." Rinko Hagiwara shrank behind him, holding down the hem of her skirt with one hand and grabbing her messy black hair with the other, "Go in quickly, or we will be struck by lightning..."

As soon as the words fell, another dazzling lightning struck down.

"Crack!"

In a very close place, the hairs on Ju Qingxian's body stood on end due to the electric charge in the air.

"Let's go!" Hagiwara Rinko exaggeratedly shouted, holding the hand on the hem of the skirt, subconsciously supporting his shoulder.At this time, she didn't care about the fact that the two of them met yesterday, "You, hurry up, go to my place..." Her tone of voice was as natural as that of an old acquaintance.

"Be careful, don't slip..."

Tachibana Qingxian tilted the umbrella slightly in the direction of the wind, moving against the resistance ahead.

The howling wind seemed to smash him into pieces, blowing towards him extremely violently, and every step he took was extremely difficult.

The rushing water flowing down from the mountain quickly flooded the calf.

Rinko Hagiwara had to support Tachibana Kiyoaki's shoulders with both hands, otherwise her slender figure would definitely be swept away by the current, and she would be swept into the sea soon.

"Can you keep up?"

"It's okay, just go, I'll follow behind."

After entering the shrine, Tachibana Qingxian would look back at her every time she turned a corner along the cobblestone path, for fear that her petite figure would be torn apart by the wind.

The small umbrella was completely unable to block the terrifying wind and rain. The clothes of the two of them were completely soaked in no time, and their hair hung down wet.

"Have you ever drowned?" When Rinko Hagiwara opened her mouth, rainwater mixed into her mouth.

"Yes..."

"where is it?"

"Sagami Bay just ahead."

"Are there jellyfish in there?"

"Why do you ask about this?"

"I like jellyfish very much."

"why?"

"Jellyfish are very mysterious and beautiful, like the inhabitants of the poetic world have come to reality. And they are delicious, especially Shizhuo..." Rinko Hagiwara couldn't help licking the corners of her mouth as she spoke, cute little greedy cat .

"No, jellyfish are not tasty." Tachibana retorted.

"delicious."

"I've eaten it, and it's not tasty at all."

"Is your cooking method wrong? I ate it in a Chinese restaurant, what about you?" Hagiwara Rinko asked with a smile.

In this world that seems to be submerged in water, discussing with Tachibana Qingxian about whether aquatic organisms are delicious or not made her feel very novel and happy. She had never had such a happy chat with others before.

— After all, she has no friends.

Facing the girl's question, Ju Qingxian replied very seriously: "When I was drowning in the sea, they ran into my mouth by themselves."

"..."

Rinko Hagiwara stopped in her tracks.

She bent down and clutched her stomach, her small body trembling.

"This, this is not considered eating, haha..." She raised her face with difficulty, her beautiful little cheeks were flushed with a smile, "You are so strange, you can actually tell jokes with a straight face, Ha ha……"

"Wow~"

A violent gust of wind blows.

Ju Qingxian, who had just turned around to see her smiling, was blown sideways by the wind and fell into the water.

"Hey," Hagiwara Rinko hurriedly stretched out his hand, "Didn't you fall..."

"It's okay, compared to the sea, this is nothing..."

Ju Qingxian wiped his face and got up from the muddy yellow muddy water.

The wind was too strong, and his clothes were soaked, so he put away the umbrella, held the girl's hand with one hand, and covered his forehead with the other hand, facing the painful raindrops keep going.

Rinko Hagiwara stared blankly at the clasped hands.

These are two cold little hands.

A boy and a girl, also 12 years old, with a lingering cuteness at this age.

She suddenly remembered a detective novel she had read before, but she forgot the name. The cover of that book seemed to be a composition of two children, a boy and a girl walking hand in hand, what was it called...

"During drowning, it must be very painful to be run into the mouth by jellyfish..." the girl murmured, looking up at the back of Ju Qingxian's head.Although her whole body was soaked, her eyes softened a lot.

The two passed through a Tang Dynasty-style wall, bypassed the main hall, and entered the relatively large Kagura Hall.

Entering the hall, Tachibana Kiyoaki saw a mirror stand with mulberry wood, a satin Japanese-style clothes hanger, some musical instruments used in performances, and Kagura bells, a magic weapon commonly used by shrine maidens.

The Kagura Temple is a place where Kagura is enshrined to the gods, that is, the place where the witches perform. It is not surprising that there are these things.

"There is no one else, please come in." Hagiwara Rinko pushed open the door.

"Are you the only one living here?"

"Yes, there is a room for me inside, I'm going to change clothes, you are not allowed to peek..." Rinko Hagiwara said, throwing a towel over, "Wipe your face first, I'll get you dry clothes to change. "

"Here is my change of clothes?"

"As long as you can wear it, you don't care if it's yours..."

Hagiwara Rinko walked into the corridor at the other end of the main hall and pushed open a small door.

Ju Qingxian followed, but he just watched at the door and didn't go in.

It was a room of six mats, with a closet on one side and a chest against the wall on the other, frocks and muslin nightgowns on the walls, and ribbon curtains with little bells on the walls.

Near the window, hung a tulle mosquito net whose hem was dyed a cool and pleasant sky blue, a light blue quilt with a pattern of mustard branches, and a red long pillow with dense tassels... ...very ancient.

"Is this your home?" Ju Qingxian asked.

"No, it's just a utility room. I was lucky and was loved by the palace secretary, so I changed this room into a lounge for me." Rinko Hagiwara said, taking back the petticoat hanging from the window, "Oh , all wet..."

The wind chime hanging on the window makes a quiet sound of "jingling, dingling", which naturally has a tranquil and far-reaching elegance.

"I'll change my clothes, here, here's to you..."

Rinko Hagiwara took out a set of clothes from the closet and threw it over.

"..."

The corners of Ju Qingxian's eyes twitched.

White undergarment, red skirt... orthodox priestess clothing.

"I'm almost the same size as you, so you shouldn't have any problem wearing it." Rinko Hagiwara looked at him with a smile and said, that cute little face looked extremely hateful in the eyes of Tachibana.

"...Forget it, I don't need to change."

"Ara, don't you dare?"

"...what dare not!"

"Come on, don't be so stubborn!" Hagiwara Rinko put on a contemptuous smile again, "You are all wet, don't dirty my room, change it for me quickly..."

Ju Qingxian gritted his teeth, went straight into the room, and closed the door.

"You, what are you doing?" This time it was Rinko Hagiwara's turn to twitch the corners of her eyes.

"Change clothes!"

"Go out and change!"

"It's too wild outside, I'm shy!"

"……you you!"

"Are you shy?"

"I don't!"

The two children stared at each other through the mosquito net, then snorted at the same time and turned their backs.

"Whoever turns his head and peeks is a puppy!"

The two said in unison.

It's still raining.

In the room surrounded by rain, there was the sound of clothes rubbing against skin.

The thunder gradually faded away, and the sound of rain hitting the roof was still as violent as pebbles falling down.

Drenched hair, in the dark room, flashing water drops... Hagiwara Rinko put the clothes under her armpits, reached out and turned on the lamp that illuminated the snow-white silk lampshade, and then slowly took off her skirt and wet She wore see-through black stockings, and her little hands were like peeling beans, unbuttoning the shirt one by one.

In the snow-white light, two barren peaks protruded from the girl's chest.

The dignified and elegant priestess costume gradually covered her slender body, making her look like a winter rose, and her slightly fragile beauty was dressed up very richly.

After putting on all her clothes, she breathed a sigh of relief,

The little red face turned around, and seeing Tachibana Qingxian who had been crookedly dressed in the priestess costume but was still carrying her back, he couldn't help but smiled softly: "You are quite honest..."

Tachibana snorted impatiently.

It's not that I'm being honest, it's that you really don't have much to look at...

"Let's go, go outside, let's eat something, wait for the old witch to come and show you..." Hagiwara Rinko put on clogs and walked past him.Her current appearance is really pretty, with a small face with a straight nose bridge, rosy and healthy, her black hair is combed into a traditional Ji hairstyle, tied behind her head with a white cloth, and the tip of her hair is gently seven or eight centimeters above her buttocks swaying.

Whether it is the back or the front, it is as clear and beautiful as a fairy.

If the shoulders are shaved, the waist is as usual.The neck is extended to show off the items, and the quality is revealed.There is no fragrance, no beauty...Ju Qingxian's mind suddenly came out with a series of words describing Luoshen in "Luo Shen Fu", and there was a sense of surprise that "this woman is only in the sky".

snort!
Ju Qingxian secretly made a face at her from behind.

You look good, and I'm not bad either. Wearing the same clothes, it's not certain who is more beautiful... Speaking of which, why does this dress still have a faint fragrance? Did she wear it?

Ju Qingxian subconsciously raised his sleeves and took a sniff.

"By the way, can you cook?" Rinko Hagiwara, who was walking in front, asked.

"No." Ju Qingxian immediately put down his hand.

"That's right, how can you, a young master like you, know how to cook?"

Tachibana Qingxian followed her and walked to the innermost small room of Kagura Hall, which looked like a small kitchen.She squatted down by the firepit, lit the firepit, and then picked up an iron pot to catch water and put it on.

The girl's light movements have a kind of simple sentiment.

That kind of natural charm, full of innocence, full of vitality.If the young master who grew up in the old Chinese family saw it, he would inevitably be very excited... For example, a certain surnamed Ju.

In order to resist this strange thought, Tachibana Qingxian looked left and right.

"Is this really a kitchen? There are water tanks, cabinets, and so many ingredients."

"You help me move that box over here."

"What came from?"

"There should be a lot of food, enough for the two of us to eat."

Ju Qingxian brought the box over to her.

There are some things like mushrooms, shredded taro, kelp, and a few bags of udon noodles.

Hagiwara Rinko took out half of each of these things, put them all into the pot, and finally put her nose close to them, and sniffed them intoxicated.

The slightly twitching delicate nose tip is extremely cute.

"What kind of family are you from?" Ju Qingxian couldn't help asking.

From the perspective of temperament and attitude, she is undoubtedly the type of young lady; but from the perspective of her behavior and conversation, she does not have the savage character of the young lady, which is completely different from Xiaowei's feeling to him.

"I, an ordinary little girl, have nothing to discuss."

"An ordinary little girl who can read people's hearts?"

"correct."

"A little girl so ordinary that she can float like a jellyfish?"

"Yup!"

"What is your background? Or do you want to keep this secret?"

"I really don't have any background, and there is no need to keep this secret." Rinko Hagiwara showed a completely innocent expression on her face, lifted the hot pot lid and said, smelling the fragrance of the ingredients, she showed a happy smile: "It's all cooked, let's eat together."

When she smiles, she has a small dimple on her right cheek.

The right side of the corner of the lower lip is naturally sunken in, making her perfectly show the innocence and innocence of a girl. Ju Qingxian couldn't help but reach out and poke the dimple: "Well, it feels good..."

Before the girl got angry, he smiled and ran away.

"Orange Qingxian! You are dead!!!"

The fierce and cute voice of the girl who blushed with anger overwhelmed the wind and rain of the whole world.
