Seeing this, Zhu Kui chimed in, "Sister Xinyi is right. It's not good for a child to go to a place like that. Let him stay a few more days. Besides, we should wait until his parents have erected a grave before he leaves."
Last night's fire was a disaster; everyone in the village who could go went. This morning, they discussed choosing a time to erect the two graves amidst the ashes.
The village chief and several other village heads nodded in agreement with the two men's suggestion: "Then, who will be free to deliver it to the town when the time comes?"
Zhu Kui thought for a moment and said, "My older brother and his family are going home in a few days. How about this, you can hand the person over to me then, and my older brother and his family can take them to town."
After listening, everyone nodded, thinking that it was good that someone was willing to take Lin Yu in for a few days, so none of them objected. With the matter settled, they all said their goodbyes.
Seeing everyone leave, Zhu Kui also got up to say goodbye to Old Chen.
[That's great! I was so scared just now. I thought the peach wood beads wouldn't be finished in time. May this kind person live a long and healthy life!]
In the evening, after dinner, the afterglow of the setting sun painted the sky with different colors.
Hang Suisui sat on the threshold, happily asking Chen Xinyi for a small knife. She stared at the peach branch in her hand, wondering where to start cutting it.
Holding the knife, I swung it around at the end, peeled off a little bark, and was about to pluck the leaves and break off the excess twigs when I heard Chen Xinyi calling out to me.
"Girl, come and take a look. You and Lin Yu will be staying in this room for the next two days!"
Hang Suisui put down the peach branch and the knife, and quickly ran towards the room next to the kitchen. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Chen Xinyi laying a clean mat on the bed.
Chen Xinyi brought over two clean pillows: "You two will sleep in this bed for the next two days. If you need anything, just tell Auntie."
Hang Suisui obediently echoed Chen Xinyi from the side.
She had no problem with sharing a bed with a six-year-old kid.
Then Chen Xinyi brought over two sets of clothes and placed them on the cabinet next to the bed.
"You and Lin Yu can change into these two outfits after you take a shower." Chen Xinyi pointed to the white short-sleeved shirt: "This smaller one is yours. I'll wash the one you're wearing after you change out of it."
Hang Suisui looked down at her green outfit, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
001: [Stop looking. This is your leaf that turned into a leaf. Your spiritual power isn't enough right now. If you take it off, it will turn back into a leaf, and you can't wash it off.]
Demonic magic is not omnipotent. Those who can create things are gods. Although immortals and demons have magical powers, they can only change the appearance of existing things.
Therefore, she cannot create a garment out of thin air; she can only modify an existing one or change something else.
Hang Suisui's brow furrowed, and she glanced again at the white clothes on the cabinet: "Don't worry, I have a way."
After giving her instructions, Chen Xinyi took another set of black clothes and went out to give them to Lin Yu, who was taking a shower.
A short while later, Lin Yu entered the house wearing that black outfit.
After taking a shower, Lin Yu's bangs were still damp and glistening with water, and her delicate features were flushed.
His eyebrows and eyes softened considerably, his long phoenix eyes were slightly red and upturned, and he no longer had his usual lifelessness. Even his dark pupils were glistening with moisture. His long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he was still holding that peach branch in his hand. He looked like a child who had come out of a painting.
It seems to exist on a completely different level from this brick and tile house.
Hang Suisui stared intently at Lin Yu's face: [Wow, someone's actually this good-looking! And a guy at that, how stunning will he be in the future!]
Wouldn't that make countless girls swoon?
Wow, the dream of 900 million girls.
001: [If he looks like that, according to current norms, he wouldn't like women.]
Hang Suisui: [ ? ] [What does that mean? ]
Having lived in the mountains for a long time, although not completely isolated from the world and frequently surfing the internet, there are still many things she doesn't quite understand.
For example, the couples that everyone loves to ship in today's society.
001: [...] I said you're ugly.
Hang Suisui: [That's okay, as long as I have a beautiful dream.]
Hang Suisui, who has never seen what she looks like, listened to 001's words with some seriousness.
How beautiful can a ginseng be?
So what if she's ugly? She's not going to stay inside this ginseng forever anyway. Although she's excited about being a monster, she still has to go back.
So what if I'm ugly? As long as I don't look in the mirror, it's not like I'm the one who's disgusted.
Looking at the fair wrist in front of her, the fingers longer and more slender than hers, and the peach branch offered to her, Hang Suisui withdrew her gaze from Lin Yu's face.
She took the peach branch, placed it on a nearby cabinet, picked up her clothes, and prepared to go out for a bath.
"Thank you, you go to sleep first, I'm going to take a shower."
Lin Yu watched Hang Suisui leave the room, his gaze lingering on the peach tree branch for a moment before he slowly walked to the bedside.
I took off my shoes and lay down on the innermost side of the bed.
His gaze fell on the wooden beams and the black tile roof, and he fell into deep thought, recalling what Hang Suisui had said to him that afternoon.
“…Phoenix”.
Just as Lin Yu was falling into deep thought, a black figure gradually materialized on the roof beam.
"what's on your mind?"
The sudden sound interrupted Lin Yu's thoughts, and he looked up at the roof beam.
The figure looked at Lin Yu lying on the bed, floated down from the roof beam, and sat at the foot of the bed.
Lin Yu sat up and stared intently at the dark figure without saying a word.
