Teresa won't starve

Where can we find so many disaster stones?

1427 "Crimson Jade"

"bell."

"what?"

It has pink triangular fox ears and pink hair combed into a single ponytail.Wearing a red and white safari suit with the word '红' printed on the back, the girl looked at her elder sister who suddenly called her back.

"Recently, there is almost no food to eat at home. Can you go and collect some?"

"So it's this one?"

At first, Ling thought that something big had happened, but when she heard Sakura say that, she spread her hands and said in a tone of 'I'm a waste and I'm proud': "Can't you go find it yourself? And it's not just the two of us living here!"

Indeed, every time in the past, Sakura went out to find something to eat.

Because it is not safe to walk alone in the mountains, it is okay to get lost or encounter an avalanche. Neither she nor Ling is comparable to ordinary people.

But if you encounter a troublesome ghost or even a dirty ghost...

"Zou, she's sick."

Sakura slightly turned her head away, but still said concisely: "I need someone to take care of me."

"Why are you sick again? This is really..."

Muttered a few words in dissatisfaction, but Ling didn't continue to argue.Reluctantly turned around and walked down the mountain: "I got it, got it! I'm going right away!"

......

So that's it.

Ling was kicked out of the house by her eldest sister, who stayed home to take care of the sick Zu.

It's just that she didn't know that this was actually Zuzu's idea. Zuzu saw that she had been staying on the mountain all the time, and was afraid that she would get sick from boredom, so he and Sakura coaxed her to come out to relax.

And not long after she went down the mountain, Sakura hangs far behind her.Not only to protect her safety, but also to prevent her from being discovered.

It can be said that in the past ten years, except for a few occasional occasions, Bell will definitely appear in Sakura's sight most of the time; it has been like this since she was just a baby, sleeping in Sakura's arms .

Rather than saying that Sakura is her sister, maybe it would be more appropriate to say that she is her mother?

however.

From the moment Ling was conscious, she only knew that Sakura was her older sister.Later, I didn't know why, but changed from 'sister' to 'big sister'.

Is it because there is an extra '紬'?

Speaking of Tsumugi!

"and many more."

Ling, who was walking in the mountains, stopped suddenly, and looked into the distance through the trees around him.With her extraordinary power, she easily saw the snow elf who was about to merge with the entire snow field.

There was an unexpected and serious expression on his face: "Why are there children here?"

Although Ling was not very old, she looked about fifteen or sixteen years old; but even so, she was three or four years older than that child, which made her subconsciously put herself in the position of her elder sister.

However, the kind-hearted Bell didn't like that much, and immediately turned around and ran in the direction of the little girl.This immediately caught the little girl's attention.

Ling was afraid that the little girl would run away if she saw that she would run away, or shout loudly that would cause an avalanche, or even attract some dangerous things, so she quickly waved her hand to signal her to keep quiet.

Although she wasn't sure if it would work.

Fortunately.

None of the above situations happened, and the little girl was unexpectedly not afraid of strangers, especially a type like her who didn't look like a human being.

This made Ling breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time pretended to be very angry and taught her a lesson:

"Why do you stay outside alone? Don't you know that the mountains are dangerous? You..."

"Please wait."

Teresa also felt very baffled by someone's sudden meal.But she could see that the girl didn't have any malicious intentions, and the unabashed sheer concern made her angry.

So I had to interrupt her and remind her: "I don't even know your name, so it's very rude to talk to a stranger like this."

"Oh, my name is Bell. What's your name?"

"I......"

This is familiar!This is self-cooked! !

Theresa suddenly felt a little dumbfounded, and at the same time thought she recognized the girl's identity. (Theresa knows Suzu, but has never met Hiyumaru)

It is at this time.

A faint but not very loud voice came from far away, reaching the ears of Ling and Teresa like a whisper in the ear.

"Her name is 'Theresa'. Someone I know. Bring her back with you."

"!" x2

Teresa and Ling turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound at the same time, and at the end of their sight, they could vaguely see the outline of a girl hiding in the wind and snow.

Perhaps Teresa couldn't recognize her through this blurred outline, but Ling, who had lived together for more than ten years, already knew her identity: "I agreed to go down the mountain alone, but I still couldn't help but follow? Hmph, I knew it was that guy Tsumu..."

Although Ling, who grew up in the mountains since she was a child, is innocent, she is not stupid at all, and she is even very smart. She just thought of what happened after a few turns in her mind.

Sure enough, compared to the big sister who is like a lump of wood, Zhuo has more spooky ideas!

1428 "The Mountain Has Nine Layers"

When she went back, Ling didn't forget what she said when she came out.

Although I already guessed that I was tricked by Zu, but I still have to carry out the search for food, so that the eldest sister can reduce the number of times she goes out.

Don't look at her heartless appearance, but she actually cares about the elder sister very much.

after all--

"Give you."

"......Oh, thank you!"

After receiving the mushrooms handed over from Teresa, Bell checked them briefly to make sure they were edible, and then put them in the pocket that she carried with her.

This surprised Ling a little: "Look at you, have you ever lived in the mountains before?"

about this issue.

Teresa thought for a while and replied:

"Not really."

Although I have the experience of living in the Siberian forest, and even have a certain degree of hunting experience; when I returned there with Qihai, I collected some edible and non-edible wild fungi.

But even now, Teresa still doesn't quite understand what's going on here. (Note)

"Then how do you know this mushroom is edible?"

As she spoke, Ling took out a purple-red mushroom that looked a lot like Flammulina velutipes but was as bright as an apple.This kind of color that seems to be 'inedible' is actually just a camouflage color for these non-toxic mushrooms to protect themselves.

"I don't know either, I just picked it up casually."

"..."

"Any questions?"

"No."

Ling wondered how she grew to such a big size, but she didn't get serious about this issue: "I don't need to trouble you, I'll do it myself."

......

That's right, though.

But the reality is—

There are two girls, one is walking in front and the other is following; one is trying to find something to eat, and the other is sharp-eyed and directs her to dig it out.

From a distance, it looks like a very harmonious picture, which makes people unbearable to disturb this tranquility.

Of course, no one can bother.

"..."

Sakura watched one big and one small, and the two girls set foot on the road up the mountain one after another.It was only then that the blood stained on the knife was shaken off, and it was put back into the sheath used to store the knife.

Following their footsteps, they walked towards the mountain, leaving a white corpse of a four-legged creature behind them, which gradually disappeared in the whistling wind and snow.

......

When he saw the red doorpost standing at the end of the stone steps.

Just as Ling was about to say the words of coming home, she heard an exclamation from behind:

"It turned out to be a torii gate!"

If it was placed 500 years ago, Torii would be a rare building, but it would not be so unknown; but this is a modern world, and 500 years have passed after the end of the world.

The only place where you can still see it is here.

This made Ling, who lived here since he was a child, feel very surprised: "You also know Torii? Then what else do you know? For example, the legend about Torii?"

It can be seen that Ling is very interested in these things.It is a pity that there are very few books that have survived to this day that record the content of the Far Eastern culture.

Even the name 'Torii' was told by her eldest sister.

But she was disappointed, and Teresa shook her head:

"I just know a name."

Done.

He bypassed the standing bell and walked to the end of the steps.

Turning around, he looked at Ling who was still there, and called her: "Aren't you coming up?"

"Here we come~"

Bell looked a little unhappy, obviously she thought Teresa was lying.It's just that since both of them have only a superficial relationship, it's not easy to get angry with her for a while.

After all, she just has few contacts.

Especially after being 'educated' by Theresa, I gradually realized that I should restrain myself and not always do things that would offend others.

In the past, the eldest sister didn't mind, but in the future, she won't.

1429 "Please treat Teresa correctly"

"call!"

Finally reached the top of the mountain, Ling couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Although there are stone steps that are convenient for climbing, as one of the highest existing mountains in the world, Ling is still a little out of breath after walking up all the way.

"are you tired?"

"Isn't that natural? Jiuchongshan is so high, anyone will feel tired if they change it?"

It wasn't until this moment that Ling noticed that Teresa was neither blushing nor out of breath, as if she hadn't walked a few steps.There is no sign of fatigue at all: "It's you... your physique is better than mine? You can't tell at all! Even a gust of wind can blow you away!"

While speaking, Ling walked around Teresa.I want to see how she is different from me.

"bell."

Obviously following them, Sakura, who seemed to have just come out of the house at this time, stopped Ling from continuing to play tricks: "Stop playing."

"I'm not just playing! Big sister! I'm..."

Bell turned her head to look at Sakura, and her words slowly stopped.

Under the indescribable eye contact between the two parties, Ling temporarily put aside Teresa's affairs and walked towards the house: "I'll go and see that guy Zu, I don't know if he's really sick. …”

Naggingly opened the door and walked into the room, the voice didn't disappear until the door was closed again.

He also pulled Sakura's gaze back.

It's just that he doesn't seem to know what to say.Sakura just looked at Teresa steadfastly, but she felt a little uncomfortable seeing Teresa.
