Give weak women a heart of steel

Chapter 213 The evil plan in the shrine

March [-]th.

The gentle spring breeze for days has blown away the cold wind and snow in winter.The mottled and cracked streets are green and verdant, and the buds of the cherry trees are blooming one by one, revealing a small pink color.

Thin, dense clouds piled up on the clear sky. Looking at it, the sky was lonely, and I felt my eyes hurt faintly.

The breeze blew through the petals, blowing down a few cherry blossoms.

Passing through her temples, a little golden sparkle blew up.

Today is the day of the Cherry Blossom Festival, and the cherry blossoms in the streets and parks are in full bloom.

The place is crowded with people and full of flowers.

There was a dignified woman wearing furisode kimono, holding a fan and shaking it gently.

There was also a family of three wearing simple and convenient yukata.

The children were laughing and laughing.

The older high school students were all very happy and wanted to shout.But he still wanted to show his maturity and kept imitating the serious look of those adults.

Several girls wear yukata because of convenience.

Young people always like to have fun, but it is always inconvenient to wear a serious kimono.

Xia Tingfei, wearing sparse and ordinary clothes, followed a few girls and looked at their backs and fair and delicate necks.

Several people are not planning to have a dinner in Sakura Park, but are planning to have a dinner somewhere else.

Cherry blossoms can be seen everywhere.

Especially in the mountains.

Several people were preparing to walk up the mountain, and their destination was a small shrine on the mountain.

Although it is called a shrine - there is neither a priest nor a shrine maiden here. There is even no water in the sailor's house, and the cherry blossom petals are piled up in it, fluffy.

The shrine is already covered with fallen leaves, and the red paint on the torii gate has dried and cracked into dense spider webs.

As the main body of the shrine, there is only a small room.

——There are neither shrines nor other supporting facilities.

Several people sat on the wooden planks on the verandah - of course before that, the girls rummaged through the sailor's house and successfully led it out of the water.

This kind of sailor's house is usually diverted from mountain springs, or tap water directly using modern technology.

And after a few people removed the stones that blocked the pipe, the water naturally came out.

After lightly wiping the wooden floor of the verandah with water, a picnic cloth was spread on it.

The lunch boxes made in advance are piled in the middle, ready to use at any time.

At this time, adults will also drink a little.

But girls, they all carry juice.

Tsurumi China brought ordinary oolong tea, while Umishio and Ichinose Kiyoshi brought rich citrus juice, and Hinazuki Kana brought ordinary green tea.

Several girls sat on the edge of the verandah, looking at the sacred tree in the shrine - an old cherry blossom tree that looked very strong and complete.

The bark of this cherry blossom tree is rough and ravines are everywhere.

The branches are curved and knotted, but the leaf cover is extremely lush.

Various branches of different thicknesses grow wantonly, with bunches of sesame-like flower buds growing on them, and each flower bud blooms with fine pieces of cherry snow.

Although there is only one tree, it is still dazzling enough.

Enough to make a few girls happy.

The cherry blossoms are falling in layers, and they are more numerous than the cherry blossoms in the park.

"Is this Qingyue your secret base?"

Hai Tide Algae held the cup and took a sip of the juice.

She puffed up her face, looking unhappy.

"I just discovered it by accident." Ichinose Qingyue was also sitting nearby looking at the cherry blossoms.

If you can die in this season, it can be considered a wonderful thing.

Hinazuki Kana and Xia Tingfei looked at each other and understood what it was - accidental.

Tsurumi Qianna looked at the two girls calmly, even though she was the youngest.

But in terms of feeling, she has a more calm feeling than Haishio Zaozhi and Ichinose Qingyue.

Maybe it's because I've seen it so many times in school.

It's more likely that it's because in school, I've seen Hai Tide's disappointed look too many times, or even made a fool of himself.

She just couldn't respect him.

There are even some that are difficult to deal with tidal algae debris.

Haichao Zaozu glanced at Tsurumi Qianna, feeling a little uncomfortable: "Why are you here?"

"Because I am a member of the Iron Heart Society."

Tsurumi Qianna said this without any hesitation. She glanced sideways at the seaweed and said calmly.

Although her identity is very ordinary, she still looks like a young lady.

Yeah, pretentious.

This was what Hai Tide said. She looked dissatisfied at Tsurumi Qianna, who had long, straight black hair.

Obviously our family is just an ordinary family, but now it looks like this.

She puffed up her face and looked very unhappy: "The tea leaves in your hand are just ordinary tea leaves. The cheap ones are weighed by the pound."

Tsurumi Qianna didn't mind and took a sip slowly: "So, do you want to show off that you are rich?"

"Oh, congratulations on getting enough money, Haitide Algae-Senior."

She was so yin and yang that she succeeded in making Hai Tide Algae Angry.

The blue-haired girl gritted her teeth and stared at Tsurumi Qianna: "What do you want to say?"

"No - I didn't say anything." Tsurumi Qianna just blinked, looking like she didn't know anything.

This look made the tide algae almost not come back in one breath.

Ichinose Qingyue frowned a little when she saw the two girls noisy.

"Can you enjoy the flowers properly?"

I don't want to die in the noise.

That's what she thought, but the two of them turned their attention directly to Ichinose Qingyue.

Ichinose Qingyue also had a temper that refused to admit defeat, and the three of them started making noises.

Although they are all different in age, their personalities are still similar.

Hinazuki Kana drank a glass of juice, and then found Xia Tingfei.

"How about it?"

She said: "The current appearance does not feel like a normal Sakura Festival event."

Xia Tingfei didn't care. He just stood under the tree and looked at the white rope wrapped around the tree.

"In the shrine, the tree with this kind of rope wrapped around it is called a sacred tree. Do you think this kind of tree became like this because it became a sacred tree? "

He spoke softly.

His own special abilities and the truth about his own time travel.

And the nature of the world.

In this kind of festival, in this kind of place, everyone is prone to random thoughts.

"Gods? They probably don't exist." Hinazuki Kana said. She didn't know why Xia Tingfei would suddenly talk about such a thing, but she gave the answer firmly.

"Haha." Xia Tingfei smiled: "I don't want to ask questions about the gods, I just want to ask about mysterious things."

As he said this, he leaned against the sacred tree again and looked at other places.

If you want to commit suicide, the only places and props to commit suicide here are these trees.

Hanging yourself seems to be the best option, but what about the other options?
He probed carefully, looking for something dangerous.Maybe those sharp branches would be dangerous.

However, rather than stabbing herself to death with these tree branches, she would rather worry about other things.

There are no harmful items in Ichinose Kiyosuki's backpack.

She just pretended to have some food and drinks, but nothing else.

If you want to commit suicide, then it must be in this shrine.

Xia Tingfei pointed at the girls who were already quarreling and said softly: "Hinyue, go take care of them while I walk around the shrine."

"need my help?"

Of course she could tell that there must be something hidden behind Xia Tingfei.

However, as for what it was, she didn't know.

In other words, I don't really care, if there is really any need.

Hinazuki Kana believed that Xia Tingfei would definitely tell her.

Because this is trust.

"Probably not." Xia Tingfei looked at Yingxue and said softly: "If there is something that needs your help, then it is because of those girls. Just take good care of them."

"After all, they—"

Xia Tingfei didn't say the rest of the words, because Hinazuki Kana could understand what it was.

He didn't have to hurt those girls by saying it anymore.

Maybe those girls didn't care at all.

But Xia Tingfei pays great attention to this kind of thing.

"Ok."

Hinazuki Kana showed a smile as always and nodded towards Xia Tingfei.

Walking lightly towards the corridor, she stopped the quarrel among the girls with her voice, but the quarrel was only temporarily suppressed.

Ichinose Qingyue looked around boredly and fixed her gaze on Xia Tingfei.

Xia Tingfei was turning around, searching and watching from the side passages inside the cherry blossom tree.

He was looking for a way to commit suicide.

Ichinose Qingyue realized this kind of thing in an instant.

Maybe it's because of tacit understanding, maybe it's because of something else.

Because every time she committed suicide, Xia Tingfei would stop her.

She whispered something to the girls around her and apologized.

He also walked out from the corridor, and walked to Xia Tingfei's side gently and deftly: "What are you looking for?"

She spoke softly.

The words were accompanied by cherry blossom petals falling to the ground, paving the beautiful ground.

Xia Tingfei didn't think anything was wrong, or he was pretending to be calm.

Just walking slowly: "Just admiring the cherry blossoms."

"Viewing cherry blossoms?" Ichinose Qingyue smiled: "Aren't the cherry blossoms in the sky?"

She pointed to the sky. The huge branches of the cherry blossom trees covered the sky tightly.

The cherry blossoms seem to appear in the sky.

"what."

Xia Tingfei smiled slightly and pointed to the ground again: "The ones on top are just immature cherry blossoms, while the ones below are already mature ones."

Speaking so calmly, he pointed to the layers of cherry blossom petals on the ground.

Some are already turning yellow, and some are already rotten.

But most of them are pink and glittering, like snowflakes.

Ichinose Qingyue was a little disappointed, not catching Xia Tingfei's handle.

She said: "Then can you let me come with you?"

"Aren't you going to go with Hai Chao Zao Xian and the others?" Xia Tingfei asked.

Regarding this issue, Ichinose Qingyue was not panicked: "They are all like little girls, just noisy."

"If it's really possible, I'll feel like I'm at peace."

Purity - it can be thought of as if no one is making noise in your ears.

And most of the time, the purest way is death.

Xia Tingfei looked at Ichinose Qingyue - Ichinose Qingyue smiled, her lips slightly curled.

But there are too many complicated things in his eyes.

If you have to bear it, if you have to bear it.

Can Ichinose Qingyue be able to shoulder these things by herself?

the answer is negative.

She didn't have any desire or anything to do such a thing.

She even gave up completely.

"ideal?"

Xia Tingfei mentioned the agreement between himself and her with a question.

Ichinose Qingyue wants to tell Xia Tingfei her own ideals.

"I can't find any ideal." Ichinose Qingyue said, she smiled bitterly.

"Then, let's change the question." Xia Tingfei looked at Ichinose Qingyue: "If there is a next life, what do you want to do? What can you do?"

"I - want to live like an ordinary person." Ichinose Qingyue answered: "Go to school like an ordinary person, go to work like an ordinary person, get married and have children like an ordinary person. "

She said so.

Xia Tingfei did not express any satisfaction or dissatisfaction with this answer.

Just walking around and watching.

The only longhouse in the shrine doesn't look very good.

At least there are some signs of repairs on the roof, but there are more gaps.

Those repaired marks also look like they have been there for a long time.

Xia Tingfei walked around the shrine, but after walking for a long time, he found no obvious traces.

Ichinose Qingyue was following Xia Tingfei, watching Xia Tingfei's movements, watching him going back and forth to observe houses or other things.

Finally, Xia Tingfei turned back to the front of the shrine.

Several girls greeted: "Senior, come and eat."

Looking at the sunshine, Xia Tingfei realized that it was indeed noon.

So, several people gathered around to taste their own bentos, and then complained to each other about whose bento was the weirdest.

The important firepower among them is Haishio Zaochan and Tsurumi Qianna, they are both unable to deal with each other.

But soon, no one was in the mood to talk.

Because after finishing the bento, everyone was a little sleepy under the warm sun.

A few people took care of the verandah a little more, put picnic cloths under it, and curled up on it to take a short lunch break.

The warm breeze fell and the sun shone on the girls.

Their skin is dazzlingly white, and their hands and feet are lonely.

Long hair comes in a variety of colors and shines.
