Isn't it better to be a wife?

Ying Lili nodded.

Chiba City is really not that big. Even though it is very remote, it takes less than an hour to drive there. At any rate, it is a prefecture close to Tokyo, and the basic road facilities are already in place.

Perhaps Ying Lili's blond hair is very recognizable, and someone came up to say hello as soon as she stopped after driving in.

"Hello village chief, I'm Eri Sawamura who came here that day..."

Ying Lili stepped forward to greet her, and Qiu Shanyi followed.

It can be regarded as knowing the purpose of Ying Lili. She participated in a festival here with her club friends that day, and now she wants to ask more questions about some festival-related information.

"Go inside and sit and talk."

The village head invited.

This is the office of the village committee, and there is only an attached parking space. It cannot be called a field, but just a piece of concrete. This place is backward and remote.

There has been a ritual in this village since ancient times. It seems that it originated from the wild beasts attacking people near the mountain, so offering sacrifices to the mountain gods and praying for protection has continued all the way to this day. The so-called way of offering sacrifices to the mountain gods is also very interesting. Open the way to lead the villagers and the ghosts played by others to go around the village;

In the past, there were some links such as slaughtering livestock, but these have also been canceled in recent years.

It is also interesting to play the role of the ghosts in this festival. The hand-painted clothes with the appearance of the ghosts let Murakami wear a mask and all other accessories. The friend of the Yingli Club thinks that these hand-painted styles are unique, so I came to learn from them.

"Has this festival been held since you were a child?"

After chatting a lot, Ying Lili asked one by one and took notes,

"Yes, it has been held for many years without interruption."

The village chief nodded.

"Did anything happen during the festival?"

Ying Lili asked intentionally or unintentionally.

"What happened?"

The village chief seemed a little confused about the meaning of what she said and repeated it.

"It's just a miracle or something? After all, it's a festival with a unique style that has continued to this day."

Ying Lili smiled.

"You college students still believe in this?"

The village head laughed.

"It's better to believe it."

Ying Lili also replied with a smile.

"Actually, doing these things now is just a tradition, and the government also has relevant allocations. The purpose is from expelling wild animals at the beginning to praying for a good harvest later;"

"However, there are no such things as strange appearances, but there are some people who were punished for colliding with the mountain god."

The village head looked slightly ill.

Akiyama Yi also found it quite interesting, listening to it with great interest.

"You know that there was a process of sacrificing livestock at the beginning, and it is still there now, but it is not slaughtered on the spot; in the past, there was a married man in the village who didn't want to send it out from his home, so he ran wildly on the day of the ceremony, and finally It didn’t work either, so we had to save one.”

"However, she fell ill on the second day after going back that night, and then she gradually lost weight and passed away after the treatment failed..."

It sounded quite gloomy, Ying Lili leaned closer to Qiu Shanyi.

"But maybe it's just a coincidence of getting sick. You have to believe in science."

The village head laughed.

"You found all the narrative books related to the festival when you borrowed them last time. If you are interested, you can continue to read them. I have to do something."

She laughed and got up and walked out on crutches.

Qiu Shanyi found that Ying Lili's reaction was a little abnormal, she looked a little pale, and when she saw him looking over, she simply held his hand and slipped into her arms.

"It's okay~ it's just a legend."

Qiu Shanyi patted her back to comfort her.

However, Akiyama Yi does not need to lament that college students are indeed energetic and idle people, especially the college students in Tokyo, who can always do something amazing and never stop.

"Feel sorry."

Ying Lili took a few deep breaths to suppress her emotions, took out her hands and gently wiped her eyes.

"What do you say?"

Akiyama easily flicked her ponytail, feeling uneasy.

"But Ying Lili reacted so strongly? Is it because of something?"

Her reaction was a little violent.

"No! But I've always been afraid of these things, especially recently I'm also drawing comics of this style, so I kind of substituted it."

Ying Lili shook her head and explained,

"So this time you come here to kill two birds with one stone, and you also get materials?"

Akiyama smiled and raised his eyebrows.

"I want to take a turn along the path of the festival, can Brother Yi accompany me?"

The familiar blinking big eyes stared at the begging expression.

"Let's go."

Qiu Shanyi hurriedly got up, such vague amorous feelings could easily confuse him, and he might just start directly.

Although Sayuri was ready to be discovered by Ying Lili, Qiu Shanyi didn't want it to start from him, especially before he actually did something.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to get a book."

Ying Lili is very familiar with this place, so she walked into a room and went straight to the bookshelf to take it out and come out again.

The cover is old and has a taste of aging. This is a very old book.

"A travelogue, but it describes in detail the author's participation in the festival in the village, so it was also listed as a related book and collected by the village committee. This seems to be the first set of publications at that time."

Ying Lili explained.

Akiyama Yi felt that Yukino might like to collect such meaningful things. The writers who came to play published books and finally sent two copies to the village here. It is very interesting that they have become reference works for the study of customs and festivals.

Most of the people in the village are the elderly and the weak, and the real young and middle-aged people are hardly seen. Yinglili occasionally greets people she knows, and distributes some candies and chocolates to the children who come around. Very thoughtful.

"Go out from here and follow the fork in the road you drove over to the path."

Ying Lili gestured from afar.

"I'll just follow you."

Akiyama Yi understands his role as a tool person.

So why are journalists and cameramen a combination of beautiful women and muscles?Caifeng also needs to be matched with men and women!His thoughts turned a little subtle.

Thanks to the national infrastructure that was set off by the Olympic Games, even such remote village roads are accessible and of good quality.

But on the small road, it is not so interesting. It is probably just a dirt road that has been compacted by an excavator, but there is no rain or mud.

Ying Lili looked down at the book from time to time, and looked around, as if she was checking something. Speaking of which, it is really amazing to do this to draw such a supernatural style of comics!

However, Ying Lili has always had her own piety in drawing manga, which is something she can do.

She suddenly bowed slightly to the side, made a gesture like paying homage, and closed her eyes as if she was telling something in her heart.

Is it really just to collect materials?Qiu Shanyi stood beside him silently.

Continue to move forward, gradually approaching the back mountain, crossing the rice fields and emerald green,

"This is the midpoint of the ceremony. The most solemn prayers and performances will be held here, and then we will stay overnight and return to the village tomorrow."

It is a flat land at the foot of the mountain, and there are some old and simple houses.

"There is the sacrificial altar."

Ying Lili made an introduction.

She bent down again and closed her eyes

……

"Has something happened to Ying Lili recently?"

It was not until he got back in the car that Qiu Shanyi opened his mouth slowly.

Although she didn't think it was meaningful for her, Qiu Shanyi would not disturb her when she was seeking peace of mind, but waited until she came back.

An inspiration flashed, since Sayuri Sawamura had a strange phenomenon, how could Eriri escape?It's just that she never turned this corner, all her energy was concentrated on Sayuri, and Ying Lili didn't show any strangeness, so she just ignored it.

Akiyama Yi carefully looked at her eyebrows, eyes, and cheeks. Makeup can do many things, but can Yinglili's makeup skills really change the mostly green and mature look of her today?

It would be fine if she created a mature flavor by dressing up, wearing hairstyles, but she definitely has that flavor from her eyebrows and eyes.

The progress bar of the system suddenly rose a bit.

"Don't tell mom."

Ying Lili leaned back on the seat, looking tired.

She wanted to find someone to tell her about it, but telling her mother about such things has no other meaning than adding trouble.

"About twenty days ago? I don't know the details, but strange changes have taken place in my body."

Ying Lili looked at the wall of the building outside the window,

"Becoming more mature? Starting to grow extremely?"

Akiyama easily grabbed the words.

"That's right~ Can makeup really do this? Brother Yi."

Ying Lili took out the vanity mirror and looked at herself.

The familiar name was spoken for the second time when she was worried and frightened.

"I don't know much about makeup, but Sayuri didn't express her opinion, so I thought I could do it."

Akiyama pinched the bridge of his nose.

It's pretty obvious, isn't it?The mother gets younger and the daughter matures?This is a very fitting sign.

"Mom has always been naturally beautiful, but her makeup skills are actually pretty average!"

Yingli pursed her mouth.

No wonder.

"So what are the specific changes? According to my observation, it seems that apart from the mature cheeks, only Opie seems to have become a little bigger?"

Speaking of which, Ying Lili is only in her sophomore year of twenty, is she really at the end of puberty?

"Probably these! And the physical fitness is a little better?"

Ying Lili looked slightly drunk and glared at him.

How did Opie become bigger?

Akiyama Yi thought about it, and it was indeed true. Sayuri became young again after passing the peak of physical function, of course the change is great, but Ying Lili is only growing older towards the peak of physical function. Is it normal that there is not much change?

"There are changes every day, but I have no idea how much older I am now."

Ying Lili was annoyed to death.

"It's not big anyway."

Qiu Shanyi thinks that she is now estimated to be around 24 or 5, which is the most wonderful time.

"So you think you may have bumped into something at this festival?"

He rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
