As a child of the Fujiwara family, Meihong felt that this was a rare honor since she was very young. Although she was actually just the most inconspicuous of her father's several children, it would be nice to care for her and not be bullied by her brothers and sisters... But even so, she was still honored because of this surname.

But after all, her mother is just a concubine, and she is a marginal figure in the Fujiwara family. Not to mention the noble status of a rich lady, sometimes even having enough food is a problem. As for the father who has always been respected by her... she probably forgot that she has such a daughter.

Anyway, her birth is just an accident, so who would really be willing to be responsible for an accident? Especially when I don’t have to worry about this consequence at all.

In this way, she was supposed to be the popular girl of the big lady. She has been used to such unrespected days since she was a very young man. But the only benefit in this way is that she doesn't have to learn etiquette and flower arrangements day and night like a lady, and then she feels tedious when she thinks of it. After learning these, she is treated as a perfect commodity and traded by the family.

It seems that playing day and night has become a privilege for her. At the beginning, such indulgence will attract the envious gazes of the brothers and sisters, but later this envy gradually turns into contempt. Meihong knows very well why this is. After all, she looks like a wild monkey and is no different from an ugly duckling compared to those elegant and graceful sisters, but even so... she doesn't want to be like them...

Because Meihong always thinks that their appearance is just looking good. To put it too much, their people are not even worthy of their clothes. That pretentious look is really nauseating... But for Miss Meihong, who is often hungry, she can't even vomit anything even if she wants to.

"If you don't want to be hungry, that would be even better..." This is probably the only regret of Miss Hong, who is extremely chic. No matter what, the feeling of accomplishment in your heart cannot be eaten as food. The feeling of being hungry is really uncomfortable...

For this reason, Meihong learned the survival skills of climbing trees, picking persimmons, catching birds, roasting sweet potatoes, and other things, but this is better than nothing. Especially after entering the developmental stage, Meihong felt that she was hungry faster, but even after eating so many children, she still didn't look taller. She still looked like a small person... She was obviously 14 years old and looked similar to a child.

The same is true tonight. Mei Hong, who was so hungry that she couldn't bear it, couldn't help but turn out from the yard where she lived, "It would have been better if it was autumn..." At that time, the persimmon tree planted in her yard could have fruit hanging on it. If it was stored, it would be enough for her to eat it all winter.

When she flipped off the courtyard wall, the clogs she was wearing were stepping on the ground and making a crisp "click" sound. The usually inconspicuous sound seemed particularly loud in the quiet night, which made her shocked herself.

"Wow, it's so quiet, and it's so dark..." Almost every household in Heian Kyo uses the habit of not going out after dark. The specific reason is no longer verified, but everyone is still silently following this old custom. But for Meihong, one is that she is too hungry. The other is that no one has warned her about these things since she was a child, so this is why she acted so recklessly tonight.

The night at this time is naturally not as brightly lit as in later generations. The dark streets are still scary enough for a little girl like Meihong. Fortunately, the stars are gone tonight to be cloudless and starry-light, which makes her feel better after all.

"Eh, go quickly." It was obviously summer night, but Meihong still couldn't help but rub her arms with her hands. Her target was the wild fruits in the nearby forest. With those who believed that they would be much better tonight... As for the dangers that might appear in the forest... Compared to the hungry Meihong, she felt that there was probably nothing to be afraid of.

Never underestimate a person's strong appetite during his growth period and his courage when he is hungry.

Mei Hong, who was determined to fill her stomach, jogged on the street. On the one hand, there was a reason for wanting to get food sooner, but more so, she really didn't want to stay in this darkness. The endless darkness and silent silence always made people feel the most instinctive fear, which had nothing to do with courage. Now Mei Hong doesn't want to go back to her dilapidated but familiar small yard earlier. Then she wrapped her head in the quilt.

"Yeah, there is a sound?" In the darkness, people's hearing ability will naturally be amplified, but no matter how they think about it, there will be no noise in the middle of the night. Meihong originally thought that she had heard it wrong, but as she got closer and closer, the sound became louder and louder, and it was completely unneglectable.

"Do you want to go over and take a look? Just a glance..." The downtown city in the middle of the night is abnormal no matter how you think, but the lights not far away still attract her irresistibly. The feeling is like a moth chasing the light... Even though you know it is not close, you still can't suppress your instinctive impulse.

Thinking of this, Meihong slowly approached the hustle and bustle. As long as she passed through the alley next to her, she could easily come to the street. But Meihong was still walking forward carefully. Even if the fragrance of the snacks coming from there attracted the greed in her stomach all the time, it could not change her will at all...

And it is precisely because of this caution that when she saw almost all the guys wandering on the street, she had enough time to run back...

"" Meihong covered her mouth tightly with her hands so that she would not scream. What did she just see? Meihong asked herself... Those guys with horse-headed birds or snake-like tails would definitely not be humans. In her memory... monsters are all good at eating people.

The frightened Meihong ran around like a headless fly. Her dim vision and her rushing mood made her have no time to tell the way she came, but just running blindly... Perhaps for her now, it is good no matter where she is, as long as she can get far enough away from there.

It was not until her physical strength was almost exhausted that Meihong realized that she had run far enough, but at this time she found that she had reached her original destination without realizing it. Unfortunately, Meihong had long since lost the mood to go to the forest to find food.

"You can see the road after crossing the grass in front. Come home quickly... It's so terrible today." Meihong has never missed her small house like she is now. If she could, she even felt that she should stay there for 3 days... No, it will take at least a week to come out.

Thinking of this, she rushed towards the grass without slowing down. After all, familiar places always make people feel at ease... But when she suddenly realized her eyes, a tall and slender figure stood in her way...

"Which lady is this?" Just from the appearance and clothes that have no patterns but are made of noble enough materials, Meihong can easily judge that the woman in front of her is absolutely respectful, but at the next moment these thoughts were immediately thrown behind, "Ah, I'm going to bump into it."

The expected fall did not come, and the seemingly weak young lady actually caught her well, which surprised Meihong sincerely. When she subconsciously raised her head, the mask on her face that she was wearing for some reason was just sliding down due to the previous collision...

"So beautiful..." Although she is also a woman, Meihong is still hopelessly attracted by the person in front of her. The kind of innate nobility and calmness that is completely different from her own sisters, as if the person in front of her can get the love of the world in every move.

If she had to describe it, she was like the bright moon in the sky... No matter how bright the stars were, they would be eclipsed in front of her, and even her phases of life could arouse the joy and melancholy of countless people... Meihong had no doubt that she definitely had such ability. To be continued.
