Me and the Doll Girl of Zhidiao Island

Chapter 32 31. In the festival, the sky lantern flying against the sky (4)

The quiet wind blows all the way down the coast of Hokkaido, skimming over the turbulent sea, passing through the mottled branches and leaves, and caressing the sky above Zhiniao Island.

The pitch-black Najiu mountain range is permeated with the desolation of the dark past, and above that desolation is the light dedicated to the dead at present.

Jiang Yuanshen stood blankly for a while, his emotions seemed to be shrouded in a faint dark cloud.

——Why is Azusagawa Takara the one holding the umbrella for Jinghai Shenyue?
——Could it be that he went for himself because he didn't go?
--why?
The doubt in his heart was like a restless snake, wriggling non-stop, opening his sharp teeth, biting his heart.

In a trance, Jiang Yuanshen and a man standing beside him met their eyes.

The other party was wearing an unsociable suit, which made him stand out.

The tie on his chest was neatly tied, and under the silver glasses framed were a pair of sharp brown eyes.

Seeming to have also noticed Jiang Yuanshen's gaze, he tilted his head slightly as if confirming, the shadow caused by the wooden pillar crept onto his face with the tilt of his head.

Jiang Yuanshen couldn't help but think of the night when he went back with Jinghai Shenyue, there was a man who threw a flowerpot from the balcony.

It's this person.

The moment the two eyes met, the man raised his eyebrows, pretending that he hadn't looked at each other, and turned his eyes to Jinghai Shenyue again.

At this moment, a barely audible, startling murmur came from Jiang Yuanshen's side.

"No, don't do this"

Jiang Yuanshen turned his head to the side inadvertently, and found that Chaokong Yaoxing's expression changed drastically, and his eyes fluttered back and forth in bewilderment.

Her fingertips trembled violently, and she held a fistful of sticky sweat in her palm. The words she uttered slowly sank into the shadows spreading around her feet.

Jiang Yuanshen noticed something strange, his eyes widened in astonishment: "Chaokong?"

"Don't do this. Don't do this"

His gaze towards the sky fell vertically on the ground, as if he was escaping from something.

Violet-colored nails left crescent-shaped scars on tender arms.

She moved her lips slightly as if she was panting, and the eyes were filled with moisture, which made Jiang Yuanshen feel more and more wrong.

Thinking about it carefully, there was only one person who could make her feel strange emotions before.

Realizing this, Jiang Yuanshen immediately looked for Asora Masamune among a group of people wearing short blouses.

When he found Masamune Asora, cold sweat could not help oozing from Jiang Yuanshen's back.

Asora Masamune narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the empress wearing the twelve single clothes of the court.

It was the same look in the eyes of many men, admiration, admiration, longing——

He smiled at the queen, and it was the first time Jiang Yuanshen saw him smile. His eyes seemed to see another person's figure through the quiet sea and deep moon.

——Hey, hey, what's going on with this guy?That's a girl of the same age as my daughter!
Jiang Yuanshen subconsciously quenched his saliva, and a feeling of anxiety ran down his spine, hoping that he was worrying too much.

Chao Kong Shaking Apricot withers like a spring chrysanthemum forgotten in a corner, losing its tender color and fresh aroma.

The Ryukin in the transparent water bag is like a soaked rubber mold, lifeless.

The hearts of the two were shrouded in rain clouds and vortexes of uneasiness, and they couldn't spare their extra thoughts to worry about each other.

Just at the right time, Jinghai Shenyue, who was wearing the court twelve singles, walked slowly to the open terrace.

The palace maids, musicians, attendants, and bodyguards in neat attire all stopped in their tracks, but Azusagawa Takara, who held an umbrella, followed.

On both sides, there are bamboo poles shaped like ears of rice. On the thin paper of the sky lantern, the owner's name is written in thick black ink.

Both the sky lantern and the standing people have names, as if the boundary between life and death never existed in this world.

More than 700 sky lanterns need to be lit and released by the queen herself.

The duration is estimated to be more than two hours.

There were no unnecessary rituals during this process. If it wasn't for the empress being too beautiful, I am afraid that the young man would choose to go down the mountain after a while.

They will lie obediently on the small bed in the hotel, watch the video and photos taken tonight, and share the queen of Zhiniao Island with netizens.

The first sky lantern was lit, the wind blew towards the extremely dark sea, and the sky lantern flew to Niigata, where there were scattered lights on the other side.

Xiaokong Azusagawa stood halfway behind Jinghai Shenyue holding an umbrella, watching silently after she lit the first lamp, her movements slowed down significantly.

She is waiting for the first light to fly farther, in the eyes of outsiders, this seems to be to observe the direction of the wind.

The twinkling orange light reflected Jinghai Shenyue's bright cheeks, and her words were like melted cheese, quietly poking her head out from the gap in the soft bread.

"Where do you think these sky lanterns will land?"

Azusagawa Takara's throat moved slightly, and he said softly, "In the sea."

Her eyes were bathed in the trembling fire waves of the sky lantern, shining brightly.

"Today's wind is strong enough for them to fly to Niigata, maybe to Fukushima, and finally land in Lake Inawashiro."

"You still know these places?"

"Well, I saw on the map that the lake is bigger than where we live on Zhiniao Island."

Her voice was very light, releasing a barely audible sigh from between her teeth.

Second, third, fourth, fifth
The sky lanterns passed through Jinghai Shenyue's hands and were released one after another, and the onlookers held up tools that could record the images.

The lighted sky lanterns are like eyes wrapped in a halo of yellow, overlooking the quiet darkness of Zhiniao Island.

Unknowingly, in the shadow-covered sky, there were nearly 100 sky lanterns floating sparsely.

The musician stood by, playing the ugly fife.

Azusagawa Takara's clenched teeth finally let go.

"I just got the news before that there is a girl named Shenyue on the island and she has become a queen." In his tone, there was a sense of overdrawn life, "If I knew earlier, I would definitely be with you. Take you away before becoming queen."

Jinghai Shenyuewen stared at the sky lantern in front of her without moving, her cherry lips parted slightly: "No, I don't need you at all."

"Really? I didn't hurt you?" Azusagawa Takara narrowed his eyes in disappointment.

"If you think it hurt me, I'm sorry, I didn't notice."

Azusagawa Xiaokong saw her unhurriedly flying the sky lantern, and the sight of the needles behind him made him hurt, and he was quite anxious.

"Everyone knows that you don't hold an umbrella so honestly." Jinghai Shenyue suddenly lowered her eyelashes and asked, "Aren't you afraid of being beaten? Every time you come to me, you will be beaten, right?"

The cheap light from the alcohol block illuminated the wooden boards under the two of them, and Takara Azusagawa's black long coat rubbed against the floor, making a noise like a moan.

Azusagawa Takara's tense expression suddenly unfolded, and he sneered in a low voice:

"Shen Yue, I don't understand what a qualified father does, but please forgive my self-assertion."

"You must leave Zhiniao Island——"

Azusagawa Takara held an umbrella, just as Jinghai Shenyue leaned over to release the next one——

Ka-!
Azusagawa Takara suddenly closed the umbrella, held the umbrella handle tightly with both hands, turned around and smashed the sky lantern hanging on the bamboo pole with ears of rice.

The rice ears and bamboo poles could not withstand the blow, the connected parts fell apart, and the handle of the umbrella broke suddenly.

The hanging sky lantern was struck and fell, like a cloud being torn apart by a strong wind.

The sudden situation made the people on the outer islands who were already bored widen their eyes, all of them became interested, and some even started to jump up to watch.

"Hey! What is that umbrella man doing all of a sudden!"

"Stop him!"

"I told you not to let this lunatic do it! Mayor Jinghai, let him do it again!"

The staff of the shrine suddenly came back to their senses, and started yelling like monkeys in a zoo.

The musicians who were playing the music put down their fifes, carried their black and wide hakama, and ran up without even taking off their shoes.

Azusagawa Takara is like a cheetah running out of a savannah, moving flexibly.

He picked up the shattered bamboo poles on the ground, and beat the bamboo poles with the remaining ears of rice, breaking off the bamboo poles without breaking them.

Even on the sky lantern with the name of the deceased, he mercilessly either slapped his hands or trampled on it, completely ignoring the feelings of the islanders.

Because his crazy behavior was beyond imagination, everyone present was stunned for several seconds.

They thought it was some strange ceremony, but when they saw the old men in the shrine panicking, they realized that it was a big oolong.

Umbrella holders in black kimono coats ran and destroyed, and shrine staff chased after them while cleaning up the destroyed sky lanterns.

Seeing the wanton destruction of sky lanterns, the residents of Zhiniao Island were filled with righteous indignation, rolled up their sleeves and ran forward.

The scene was chaotic, and the crowd of onlookers were talking a lot, and the sound of violence penetrated into the bone marrow like sticky sewage.

Jiang Yuanshen was struck by lightning, and the sound of the sky lantern being slapped by Azusagawa Takara was like the last wail of life, which made people shudder.

At that moment, instead of confusion, what came to his chest was the same emotion as the islanders.

Hatred and anger, like fresh blood, kept gushing out from the heart.

Thinking that Jiangyuan Jingzi's sky lantern might also be photographed and trampled by him like this, the pain tortured him so much that he couldn't bear to live.

Jiang Yuanshen's breathing trembled slightly, and he could even hear his heart beating like a wild horse running wild.

"What is this guy doing again! Always doing things I have no idea about! Since the day I came to the island! Every day! Every day is something I don't know!"

The gentle boy rarely showed anger that was different from the past, but Chaokong Yaoxing beside him was silent about it, staring at the scene in front of him absent-mindedly.

Jinghai Shenyue stood quietly watching the farce, as if the farce that appeared in front of her had become accustomed to it.

Occasionally, she would raise her head to look at the sky lanterns that had been released, and they gradually turned into shining golden spots in the sky, gradually drifting away.

Soon, more and more people gathered around. Kozora Azusagawa and the last few sky lanterns with rice ears and bamboo poles were not destroyed, but they were tightly restrained by the islanders.

Azusagawa Takara was kicked twice in the stomach by a big islander, and the pain of hitting the internal organs made him shrink back involuntarily.

Before he had time to cover his stomach, he was kicked far away in the next second, hitting the bamboo pole and rice ears on his back.

He breathed out a mouthful of hot air from his lungs, and his whole body was as hot as a fire.

"It's you again! The first day you came here, you wanted to snatch the queen away! Haven't you been beaten yet!" The big man grabbed the back of Azusagawa Takara's neck.

Azusagawa Takara grinned at the corner of his mouth, raised his eyebrows and looked at the outraged islanders:
"Hehehehe, do you think I want to stay here? There are too many people I don't like in this shitty place. Although I, cough cough cough myself, I am not a bullshit, but there is no conflict between the two."

As a result, the moment the words fell, a fist came from nowhere, and Kozora Azusagawa's face was punched out of shape.

There were more and more fists and kicks, and the islanders were like a broken water pipe, and the passionate emotions bursting out of it all poured into Azusagawa Takara.

"Wait. It's not good. Is this man going to be killed?"

"Hey! Don't go too far! This is a society ruled by law!"

"It's terrible, if this video is posted on the Internet, it will definitely be exploded!"

The angry islanders beat Azusagawa Takara hard, and the comments from the surrounding islanders immediately brought Jiang Yuanshen back to his senses.

--no!If this continues, this guy will really be beaten to death!
"Wait! Stop! Stop everyone!" Jiang Yuanshen pushed aside the crowd and walked forward quickly.

As a result, there were too many people above, Jiang Yuanshen was pushed back by several men as soon as he stepped forward, and he could only watch helplessly as Azusagawa Xiaokong was surrounded and beaten.

The futile sense of powerlessness made Jiang Yuanshen's breathing more and more rapid. The islanders in front of him, even wearing shrine clothes, were using violence lavishly.

The hot air in the air was inhaled into his lungs, making his whole body hot.

——The islanders of Zhiniao Island are all sick!

Suddenly, people from other islands who picked up their mobile phones to record watching the theater were invited out of the compound by the staff of the shrine one after another.

"Enough! Stop it all!"

At the right time, a man walked over quickly, Jiang Yuanshen glanced at him, it was the man in the suit.

"Mayor Jinghai! I have already said that he is not allowed to hold an umbrella! Something big is going to happen!"

An old man who was so angry that his face seemed to be painted with red paint shouted, his kimono was in a mess.

The man known as the mayor of Jinghai stepped forward and looked at Kozora Azusagawa's face pressed against the linseed oil-colored floor, showing an extremely weird and distorted expression.

"Hehe. Jinghai Yaren, did I neglect you! One day I will neglect you!"

Listening to Azusagawa Takara's abuse, Shizumi Masato raised the corners of his eyes, pretending to calmly raise his fingers, and slightly raised the glasses frame on the bridge of his nose.

"It's over, Azusa Chuan. You have caused such a big incident. It is impossible for the islanders to let you stay on the island. For your own sake, you should leave here tomorrow."

The tinnitus was mixed with Masato Jinghai's disdainful voice from above his head, Kozo Azusagawa tried to prop up his upper body, but was firmly suppressed.

"Huh—" As if he had finally lost his strength, he could only exhale hot air continuously.

Masato Jinghai showed an extremely ugly smile, and said, "The queen of Zhiniao Island is named Jinghai, not Azusa Chuan, you think too much."
