When Akane Kirino returned to her old house alone with an umbrella, Soya and Hongko had not returned yet.
"What a strong wind, I can't even catch the umbrella."
She nodded at Wuling and continued to wipe her hair. The wind and rain were so strong that she got a little wet when she got off the car. After she came back, she simply took a shower and soaked for a while before she came out.
Akane Kirino didn't stay in the living room for much, so she quickly got up and walked around her old house. She was checking the house - although she was unfounded, just by intuition - as long as there was no abnormal place, it was everything.
normal.
The doors and windows were all closed, and the wind rustled. When she walked around the house, she looked up in front of a gap that seeped water. After a long time, she concluded that the wind and rain were too heavy, and this old house had done her best.
.
After walking downstairs for a whole circle, she went upstairs again. Fortunately, there was no leakage in the room where everyone was resting.
"Confinement!"
Tsukido was startled by the girl who suddenly broke into the room, and only then did he realize that they had come back. After learning that it was Kirino Kyoko driving to pick her up, he complained that Soya would not say hello to him, which made him pay attention.
Mobile phones cannot concentrate on competition.
"What's the meaning?"
"It's lost!"
"Ha ha."
“…”
Noting the tomato potted plants placed on the ground, Akane Kiriko squatted and fiddled with them for a while, she remembered other tomatoes in the vegetable field in the backyard, and turned around and went down.
More than ten minutes later, another game ended.
Looking at the red deduction prompt on the screen, Yuedu sat down for a while, got up and walked to the window.
There are two flowers blooming in the vegetable field in the backyard, one of which is still rotating.
He opened the window, Zong Gu felt aware, turned around and raised his umbrella and took a look.
"Another lost?"
“…”
Bah, Bah, it's really unlucky.
Yuedu closed the window again.
"What?" Akane Kirino looked up and asked him.
"Nothing." Zong Gu shook his head and looked at the vegetable field in front of him, "How is it, it's still healthy."
"Yeah." She squatted down and touched the little tomatoes covered with rain with her fingertips. "When school starts, these tomatoes should be available for picking... I'm so looking forward to it."
"I have planted so much and I can eat it for a while."
"Do you want to eat... I feel a little reluctant to let it go."
"Then I'll eat it myself, you can watch it."
“…”
She lifted her umbrella, stretched out her fingers, and bounced the raindrops on her fingertips and smiles.
“No ~”
After staying in the muddy vegetable field for a while, the two of them returned to the house.
A moment later, Hongzi also came here.
"Why are you back first?" She blocked Zong Gu at the bathroom door, who was planning to take a shower. "I took a five-minute wash, and you disappeared as soon as I came out. Do you know how sad I am?"
"Are you crying?"
"No."
“That wasn’t very sad either.”
“…”
She glared at him and then admitted that her words were indeed a bit exaggerated.
Soya also revealed the truth, "Mrs. Yoshikawa probably wanted to say something to me, but she kept looking at me and didn't speak. I couldn't stay, so I came back first."
Hongzi was stunned for a while.
Zong Gu took his clothes back from her and pushed her out of the bathroom.
"Go and accompany Kirino and let her stay in the house and make less trouble." He tried to close the door, but left a gap that could not be closed. When he looked down, she stretched her feet in.
"I'll help you wipe your back." Hongzi said.
"No." He kicked her slippers, and she put her arm into the gap again.
"It's just rubbing the back."
"real?"
"Otherwise, what else can I do?"
Zong Gu didn't say anything, stared at her face, and slowly moved downwards, falling on the bulge in his chest without any concealment.
“…”
Hongzi's face suddenly turned red, "Vague."
"Don't you?"
He no longer stopped her, but instead opened the door, poked out his body, and slowly came to her.
Hongzi subconsciously took a half step back, and her breathing became heavier, "Zong Gu..."
He opened his mouth.
“——Tungno!”
“…”
"What?" Akane Kirino poked her head out of the living room, but no Soya was seen. Only Hongzi blushed and gritted her teeth, while the door in front of her was closed tightly.
"What's wrong? Did Soya forget something? If I forget the pants, I won't help me get them."
"No...it's okay, don't pay attention to him."
After a moment of annoyance, Hongzi returned to the living room to sit down. The sliding door on the edge kept shaking in the strong wind, making a rustling sound.
"What a strong wind." After looking at it for a while, Hongzi's attention briefly returned to the typhoon in front of her, and saw Akane Kirino fiddling with an iron box containing various small objects.
"What is this?" She leaned closer and found that everything inside was filled with lighters, candles, flashlights, and iron wires, sticks and knifes.
Akane Kirino smiled, and a look of embarrassment appeared on her face rarely.
"These are all the 'baby' I collected when I was a child. I found out when I was inspecting the house just now... I miss it so much."
"When I was a child, no wonder the outside of the box was rusted." Hongzi also smiled. She looked down and noticed something. She picked it up and saw it. It was an extremely realistic bird model, but she looked a little hideous.
"Is this a baby?"
Akane Kirino glanced at it, thought for a while, and shook her head, "It's just a dead bird."
"I forgot when it was put in, but I didn't expect it to be turned into mummies. The sealing of this box is quite good."
“…”
Hongzi's hand shook and the mummy fell down.
Akane Kirino was not afraid. She picked it up and looked at it for a while, as if she was recalling the memories of picking it up, and said, "Let's go to the backyard and bury it."
"Yeah... OK."
Hongzi held an umbrella, Akane Kirito went to the warehouse to find a shovel, and looked around for a while.
“Where is the best place to bury?”
"You can't use it." Hongzi looked at the vegetable field in the backyard. The Kirino couple had limited energy and did not fully utilize this land. Even though Soya and Akane Kirino wanted a small piece of land to grow tomatoes, there was still another one.
Large uncultivated areas.
“It makes sense.”
Stepping on dead branches and weeds, Tong Yeqian walked to a wasteland and squatted to dig. Hongzi followed closely, covering each other with a large umbrella.
"What are you doing?"
Hongzi turned around and found that it was Yuedu on the second floor.
"Middle." Akane Kirino responded, his hands kept moving, shovels of soil were thrown to the side, and the pit on the ground gradually deepened.
"Who are you buried?" Yue Du asked again.
A shovel inserted into the soil, Kirino Akane looked up at the black umbrella, and it was deep for a few seconds.
“My childhood.”
“…”
After a while, Yue read it and was wearing a large raincoat he had taken from the entrance.
He was disappointed when he discovered that Akane Kirino's so-called "childhood" was a dead bird that had only been killed, but he did not leave immediately.
"It's just the things I collected when I was a child, what else can it be? I should have collected a lot of inexplicable things during my confinement and childhood, right?"
"Well? I don't have a childhood... A person like me (god) has no childhood."
"Hey... so pitiful."
Akane Kirino and Akako thought they understood what he meant and looked at him with sympathy for a while.
"One day, they will understand the confinement period."
Yue Du was stunned, "Who?"
"Your parents."
"They don't have childhoods, either."
“Eh?”
The three of them talked on each other and looked at each other for a while.
Akane Kirino continued to dig the pit, trying to dig as deep as possible to avoid being washed out by the rain. Tsukiyu looked around for a while and said that he wanted to try it too, but he bent down and dug for half a minute and started to scream.
"Wow... I'll do it myself."
After digging the pit, the three of them buried the dead birds and observed a minute of silence at the request of Akane Kirino. When they returned to the house, Soya had already finished taking a shower.
“Where did you go?”
"Backyard," said Tsukiyu, "a dead bird buried."
Zong Gu was a little surprised, "Dead bird? Where did it come from and when did it die?"
"Eight or nine years ago."
"Um?"
"I don't know either, please ask her yourself."
Akane Kirino and Hongko were still washing their hands, and Tsukiyu sat down in the living room, honestly not as usual.
"Why don't you play games?" Zong Gu asked while rubbing his hair.
“…”
Yue Du turned her head and looked outside, but could only see the closed sliding door, so she sighed deeply.
"I'm not in good condition, take a break."
It was getting late. After taking a shower, Soya dealt with Akane Kirino and Hongko in the living room for a while, then got up and went to the kitchen to prepare supper.
I haven't come back for three days, and the refrigerator is almost empty. Fortunately, Akane Kirino brought some fresh ingredients when she came from home.
The wind and rain are constantly and it is dark very quickly.
After preparing supper, the few people sat together. After eating for a while, without warning, the restaurant and even the entire old house were in darkness.
“There is a power outage!”
Hongzi was frightened, Kirino Akane was surprised, and Soya smacked her lips.
"The meal hasn't been finished yet..."
