The Mingyue of the Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/   The latest work of the master Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng! Spring is just about to end, and there is still a long time before autumn, but the Inari Shrine is already in a state of falling leaves.

It was the thriving plants and trees that grew up healthily under the protection of the breath of gods, and they suddenly lost the protection of the breath of gods, and they were too unaccustomed to it. I believe that over the past period of time, I will get used to it slowly.

However, the scene of falling leaves falling in the shrine slowly falling, it is really hard not to make people feel desolate.

So the shrine covered with fallen leaves, the witch kneeling in front of the main hall’s money box, and the Natsuki standing not far away from the witch formed the picturesque scenery in the shrine, but this scene inexplicably made people feel sad.

The shrine that has lost its protection from the gods is obviously a shrine that looks particularly dilapidated under the fallen leaves in the sky.

Maybe it’s because of the loss of the gods. People always come to worship the shrine, but today there are no pilgrims. Hinata Qikai just knelt in front of the money box in the main hall and practiced, as if there was no end.

Natsuki looked at the fallen leaves filled with Hinata Qihai's body, and the leaves that had withered yellow overnight fell on her shoulders, her long hair, and a thick layer of them plunged over her kneeling legs.

Maybe she has been practicing here since she returned to the shrine yesterday!

No, it is not so much about practicing, but about self-punishment.

Natsuki felt the spiritual power in Hinata Qihai's body. As her cultivation not only did not increase, but even declined, it was obvious that she could no longer continue like this.

After all, cultivation must be followed by the Basic Law. Blind practice will not only not increase the strength, but will be harmful, and may even cause a backlash of spiritual power. Otherwise, how could it be so troublesome to become stronger and not require any skillful knowledge skills? As long as you sit there and keep practicing with all your heart, you will be fine.

Seeing Hinata Qikai still not stopping, it was obvious that her purpose was not to practice, but to just want to punish herself. Perhaps only in this way can she feel better in her heart.

He thought he had not helped and thought that it was his own mistake that made Lord Yubai suffer such all this. This self-loathing has even made Hinata Qihai tend to self-destruct.

So Natsuki made a decision, took a step forward, and simply hugged Hinata Qikai who was kneeling there.

At the same time, the true energy in Xia Shu's body quickly poured into Hinata Qihai's body, smoothing and gathering the spiritual power that had begun to scatter in her body together to prevent the spiritual power from backlashing due to the sudden external force.

In this way, the fallen leaves that fell all over Hinata's body, accompanied by the movements of Natsuki, scattered all over the ground around the two of them, and some fell on Natsuki's body. Hinata's Qihai was hugged by Natsuki in the form of a princess.

In an instant, the sudden action was shocked, and Hinata Qihai didn't even react. When she reacted, the person was already being held in Natsuki's arms. At the same time, she only felt the place in her body that had already begun to hurt due to the tendency of spiritual power to dissipate. Under the influence of an external warm current, the conflict was quickly smoothed out and the spiritual power returned to its gentleness.

Feeling the warm breath in his body and being hugged by Natsuki in his arms as a princess, I even had a sense of expectation for a moment, hoping that such warmth could last forever.

But in just a moment, Hinata Qikai soon woke up.

"You, what are you doing?" Hinata Qikai struggled slightly. At this time, she no longer had much strength.

"You must rest." Natsuki hugged Hinata Qihai and walked towards the side hall next to the main hall.

"No, no, I want to continue practicing, don't stop me!" Hinata Qihai continued to struggle, using all the little strength left in her body to try to get out of Natsuki's arms.

Her struggle was indeed useful. Because of her weakness, Natsuki was afraid of hurting her, and she could not use too much strength to fix her body. So under the struggle of Hinata Qihai, she fell out of Natsuki's arms and rolled towards the ground.

Fortunately, Xia Shu was quick to bend over and cross his hands and hug her in his arms, which prevented her from falling to the ground.

However, between Hinata Nanami and Natsuki became a face-to-face hugging. Natsuki leaned over and hugged Hinata Nanami in his arms, and the two of them looked at each other with their eyes close at hand.

Looking at Natsuki's worried eyes, Hinata Qihai forgot to struggle for a moment.

"Do you know that you are not practicing at all, you are abused yourself?" Natsuki said to Hinata Qihai with serious eyes.

"Do I know self-abuse? How come I don't know! But I can't rest at all. As soon as I close my eyes, I will see Lord Yubai. I can't help but recall everything that happened before. Looking at what that person did to Lord Yubai, how could I sleep? Only by practicing hard, only by practicing hard can I not think of these things. Only by practicing hard and becoming stronger can I wake up the sleeping Lord Yubai as soon as possible. Apart from practicing hard, what else can I do now!" Hinata Qihai held the sleeping jade in Inari Yubai in front of her chest with one hand, and her other hand couldn't help but grab the clothes on the front of Natsuki's chest, grasping Natsuki's clothes tightly, and the eyes that looked at Natsuki were full of pain.

"Yaoki Jianghuo, the one who did these things. When he left, he asked me to convey his apology to you. He is sorry!" Natsuki hugged Hinata Qihai again in the situation of a princess hugging, and said at the same time.

"It's already happened, what's the point of apology?" Hinata Qikai did not struggle this time, leaning against Natsuki's arms, looking at the sky with a little unconscious eyes, allowing the fallen leaves to fall on her.

Natsuki hugged Hinata Qihai and finally arrived in front of the side hall.

From the open Japanese sliding door of the side hall, you can see that there is a very daily living room inside, clean and tidy and quilts spread on tatami. It is a very Japanese room. Judging from the only person in the entire shrine, Hinata Shikihiro, this should be Hinata Shikihiro's room.

That's why Natsuki brought Hinata Qihai here, but with Hinata Qihai's current state, I'm afraid I can't have a good rest in the room.

So Natsuki sat down under the eaves in front of the side hall, with a wooden corridor beneath her body, letting Hinata Qihai lean against her body, and then pulled out a quilt from the room and covered Hinata Qihai's body.

"Thank you." Hinata Nanami said with a quilt covered with a quilt on his body.

"You're welcome. Since you don't want to sleep, I'll chat with you. Wait until you want to sleep before going to bed. Don't worry, everything will pass." Xia Shu said indifferently.

"Okay! Then can I call you classmate Natsuki directly?" Hinata Qianhai looked at the fallen leaves falling on the quilt, and suddenly felt much more relaxed. Sure enough, at this time, it felt really good to have someone to accompany him.

"Of course, and didn't you call that yesterday?" Xia Shu said indifferently.

"Yes! But afterwards, I called out without obtaining the consent of Natsuki, and I felt a little rude. In short, thank you, Natsuki." Hinata Qihai also had a little smile on his haggard face.

"You are too polite, and I called you Qihai without authorization, so we are even." Xia Shu said with a smile.

"Yes, we're even! Speaking of which, this is the first time I've called someone's name directly except Lord Yubai." Hinata Qikai said with some emotion.

"Is that so I'm really honored! Speaking of which, I'm going to have something to give to you."

Xia Shu said, taking out a well-packed box from his schoolbag, which he prepared overnight last night!

"What is this?" Hinata's eyes were full of surprise.

"If you remember correctly, today is your birthday, your seventeenth birthday, so this is the birthday gift I have prepared for you." Natsuki said with the packaged gift next to Hinata Qikai.

"How did you know today is my birthday?" Hinata Qihai's voice trembled slightly.

"I saw you celebrated so many birthdays in the illusion before, so I naturally remember this day. Do you still remember the birthday gifts you want on your birthday gift wish list? "Xia Shu asked with a smile.

"Of course I want Lord Tamaki to be hand-carving something for me. I want a carving." Hinata Qikai naturally would not forget this.

"Yes, so this is what I carved. Even if it's a substitute, please accept it if you don't mind." Natsuki said.

Hinata Nanami struggled to stretch out his hands and began to dismantle the gift. Soon the gift was taken apart, and an exquisite wood carving entered Hinata Nanami's sight.

It was a miniature Inari Shrine, where every grass and wood inside were lifelike. The most important thing was that in the wood-carved Inari Shrine, there were Inari Yushi who was lying under the eaves of the side hall, which was where Natsuki and Hinata Qihai were sleeping, and Hinata Qihai lying beside Inari Yushi.

The fox and the other person seemed to be communicating happily, with smiles all on their faces, just like their usual daily life, but at this time it seemed so precious.

Hinata Qikai was completely stunned when she looked at the lifelike wood sculpture. She suddenly remembered the first birthday gift Inari Tamaki gave her. It was a wood sculpture that Inari Tamaki carved for her after she lost all her relatives.

At this moment, after she lost the relative Inari Yubai again, when she thought she would never receive the gift on the gift list, she received a gift from Natsuki.

That was the birthday gift she wrote on the gift list, the birthday gift she wanted when she was seventeen years old. She thought that when Lord Yubai was already sleeping, she would no longer get the gift she would receive.

However, at this time, Natsuki gave her the handmade wood carvings written on her gift list, and it was also a scene where she lived with Inaki Tamaki.

In an instant, sadness, grievance, sadness, and even a little happiness, all kinds of emotions surged into Hinata's heart in an instant.

Then big tears began to flow down the corners of Hinata Qihai's eyes. Since I learned yesterday that Inari Yubai was sleeping in the jade and the time to wake up was nowhere to be long, Hinata Qihai had never cried.

Until this moment, seeing the wood carving in front of you, the happiness and warmth of the past surged into your heart bit by bit again, Hinata's tears finally burst out like a dam. At first, they were just crying silently, and gradually hugged Xia Shu and burst into tears.

"Cry, cry! It feels comfortable when you cry. Sadness always weighs on your heart, and no one can stand it." Natsuki said gently, stroking Hinata Qihai's hair.

"Can I still receive gifts next year?" Hinata Qikai murmured with a sob.

The girl who had never received only a birthday gift from Inari Tamabata and thought she would never receive a birthday gift from others in her life grabbed Natsuki's clothes.

"Of course, as long as you don't mind, I will prepare the gift every year from now on." Xia Shu said lightly.

So the girl continued to cry, crying until she was tired of crying, and fell asleep while holding the wooden sculpture and holding the wooden sculpture.

Xia Shu looked at the girl's undespicable crying face, took out a tissue and gently wiped her, then covered her with a quilt, and sat under the eaves of the side hall, watching the sun slowly move from its mid-sky position to the point when the sunset slants.

The sunset shines on the shrine, on the sweet sleeping face of Hinata Qikai, which is very warm.
