They knocked on the door for a while, but got no response. Miyin even put her ear against the door. It was so quiet inside that it was as if no one lived there. But the lights were indeed on in the room, and square firelight was projected on it.
The snow outside the window is slightly deformed. The snow illuminated by the light is golden, as if there are countless golden sands hidden under the snow. However, the warm color here is not uniform, with some impurities, making these regular diamond-shaped pieces
It looks like solidified ripples.
What surprised Miyin the most was the structure of the house. At first, she thought the house was painted white or made of white bricks. In fact, it was not the case. The house was made of only one material - snow. She knocked
After closing the door, I gently rubbed my hand on the wall. I felt a chill, but it didn't freeze my hands. The wall was like building a snowman and having a snowball fight in winter.
She compacted the loose snow, cut out the shape, and built the house in front of her. This made her feel incredible. Even the triangular roof was made of snow. How was it connected to the wall? It was connected by nails inside.
, or a special mortise and tenon structure, or... simply directly bonded with snow? Wouldn't it feel cold if you still live in such a house?
Amiao kicked her legs, and she had to retract her arms to hold up her hind legs. Then, Xue Miyin slowly walked to the window to see what was going on inside the house. The house looked very small from a distance.
, it looked quite big up close, more than enough for at least two or three people to live in. She was surprised to find that this family even had
The windows are all made of ice. No wonder the light coming out is strange, because the ice is not smooth enough and pure enough. Although it is square and embedded in the wall made of snow, it is not uniform enough, so the light coming out is not smooth enough.
It's blurry. Through such a window, you can't see the scene in the house clearly.
"Hello, excuse me..." Miaomiao tentatively asked at the door, "We sisters are coming from a very far away place, can you stay overnight? We didn't bring any weapons and we won't hurt you. Just now.
It was our cat that ran over and may have scared your pet. But it has no malicious intent and we apologize to you on its behalf. It is too cold outside. Please show mercy and let us in."
Xue Miyin frowned slightly by the window. If she were alone, she would never say this. It is extremely dangerous for a person to walk in the world, whether he is a man or a woman, if the other party knows that he really has no weapons, something will probably happen.
How could they be exposed like this?
What? But when Miyin thought about it, Miaomiao probably didn't know about this kind of thing. Maybe even if there was any accident, she thought she could handle it. Although she thought so, she still felt a little uneasy. However, because it was dark
When she got down, she did feel a little cold.
At this time, a figure passed by the window, which startled her. She quickly ran to the front door and stood side by side with her friend. The door opened slowly, and warm light poured out from the crack in the door.
The one who came forward was a young girl with long hair.
White. Xue Miyin couldn't help but hold his breath. Sure enough, someone who can live in such a place and build such a special house can only be a monster in the mouth of his friends. Among humans, how can there be such a young person if he is not sick?
But a young woman with white hair.
After confirming that there were only two of them standing in the snow, and a cat in her hand, the owner of the house opened the door and let them in. Only then did Miyin see clearly that in addition to her white hair, she also had a pair of furry hair.
Ears, fox ears. His friend walked into the door unsuspectingly, followed closely by Mi Yin. The room was clean and bright, and the furniture inside was all ordinary wood, but they were all white.
Maybe birch
It must be wood or something. But in this spacious house, Miyin did not see any traces of small animal activity. She put Amiao on the ground, and the kitten immediately ran to the feet of the owner who had just closed the door, curious.
She kept sniffing the cat. The owner of the house seemed a little afraid of it and took a step back. She observed the cat for a long time, and after confirming that it was really not malicious, she bent down and lifted it high. Amiao was rarely honest, and only occasionally
A flick of his fluffy tail.
The friend was already sitting aside, and Xue Miyin took the opportunity to quietly look at the owner of the house. She must be a monster, as the friend said, a fox monster. She has thin eyebrows and big eyes, and she looks pitiful. Anyone who sees her will be heartbroken.
Sheng Lian Ai. Judging from her appearance, she should be the same age as Mi Yin, or even older. However, she has a childish temperament around her.
, as if they have never heard of the world. No wonder, living in such an isolated place, you may not have seen much of the world. But it is too early to draw conclusions now. Fox monsters are cunning by nature and are best at charming others. Mi
Yin indeed felt that her appearance was not natural enough, and she had a seductive look out of thin air. But so far, she had not sensed any malicious intent.
The dress of this fox sister is also different from the ordinary world, and the clothes should not be worn in this environment at all. It is not even where to add clothes, but Miyin has already put on a blouse. This white fox
The demon, even the clothes she wore were pure white. She only wore long cloth boots, and a part of her leg was exposed between the thin dress.
Come on, she looks a little cold. Although the sleeves of the dress are long, they are slit, revealing her fair and slender arms. The cuffs are very fluffy, made of wide ruffles, and sewn with gold thread. She looks like
The only warmer part is a tuft of velvet decoration on the left chest, with a sky blue ribbon hanging on the side shoulder.
"I'm causing trouble for you," Miaomiao said.
"Why are there humans here?"
The fox demon put Amiao down, then turned around to help them pour water. As she spoke, her eyes swept across Xue Miyin's face, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Regardless of whether she recognized Miaomiao's identity, she
Her identity was finally revealed. Forget it, she had no intention of hiding it in the first place.
"Let's find..."
"Let's find someone!" Miyin was interrupted, "Well, do you live here alone?"
"I am not alone." The young fox demon shook his head, still a little wary, "I have many friends."
"You must have lived here for a long time, right?"
"It's okay." She said and put the tray on the table.
There were three cups of scented tea on the plate. When the water was brewing, Miyin smelled a sweet smell. The scent was unlike any other flower scent she had ever smelled, and it might be a unique species to the snowy mountains.
"Then we want to ask, have you ever seen anyone else on this mountain?"
"After all these days, people have come and gone, and I don't know when and who you want to ask."
"When was the last time you saw someone visiting here?"
The fox demon tilted her head and moved her ears twice. She raised the cup to her mouth and rolled her eyes, probably thinking about it.
"No one has visited this mountain for many years."
"Could it be that you know somewhere else?"
"There are people who have been to other mountains."
Xue Miyin also picked up the tea and listened quietly to the two people talking. Although she was cold and thirsty, she did not rush to put the tea into her mouth. When the fox demon said this, she asked curiously:
"Do you know anything about other mountains?"
"I told you, I have many friends."
Maybe he is a friend of the fox, or another monster. Also, it is impossible for a person to live alone in the mountains. Miaomiao wanted to ask something else, but the fox monster who took a sip of tea spoke in advance.
.
"I don't know your names yet."
The fox demon opens its bright and beautiful big eyes, and when it blinks, it looks like a fluttering butterfly.
"I am - I am Miaomiao, you can call me that." Then she pointed to Miyin and said, "This is my friend, called Xue Miyin, and he is a human child."
A human child. It seemed that she was the only alien here. Xue Miyin couldn't help but sigh at this idea.
"Well... you can ask me to ask Yingying." She put down the cup and looked at the two of them again, "A snake demon and a human being together... you are really weird. I heard that people at the foot of the mountain don't like it.
Even monsters are afraid of monsters. I didn’t expect that there are people who are friends with monsters.”
Snake demon...Xue Miyin silently turned to look at her friend. Indeed, in this way, the occasional outline of scales on her face and arms could be explained. But, why is it a snake demon? She suddenly remembered
She had never asked. But Xue Miyin thought again, should she ask? Maybe she had the idea of asking, but she was unable to ask for various reasons.
Her friend who was forced to mature prematurely laughed cheerfully: "The world has changed! Haven't you been down the mountain for a long time? In today's world, there are many monsters who can get along well with humans. Many monsters have already integrated into human beings.
In life, as long as they don't make trouble, humans can easily accept them."
Hearing things related to the outside world, the fox demon who called herself Wenying seemed to be quite interested and leaned forward. But then she showed a sad look and asked:
"But, my brother said that human onmyojis will capture youkai and make them their own shikigami. If you become a shikigami, you won't be able to live freely and as you please."
"Well... let's divide it into people. Not all onmyojis are bad." Miaomiao's answer was pertinent, "If you can't agree with the human onmyoji from the bottom of your heart, the contractual relationship cannot be established. But...
There are also bad people, very bad people. Those bad people do enslave monsters, that's true. But in today's world, there are very few such people. Because humans
If you are too fragile, you will worry about monsters hurting you. People's hostility towards monsters often comes from the fear of the unknown. In fact, I have always felt that if the two tribes could have the opportunity to talk openly and share the thoughts of each monster
If we all come to the table to communicate, the world might be a lot better. Of course, this is impossible...it's just my wishful thinking."
Xue Miyin looked at Miaomiao seriously and felt that she had indeed grown up a lot. I am afraid that a monster like her who was transformed from a human being is the one who has the most say in this regard. It's great that she has grown into what she is today, Mi
Yin was also secretly happy. After hearing these words, Wenying nodded repeatedly. She sat more upright and her expression became softer. She should have almost completely let down her guard.
"I haven't gone down the mountain for many years. I have been living with my grandma... and some friends." She began to talk about herself, "I have a friend who knows everything. He said that not long ago, there was
A very special person came to Wanren Mountain."
"What kind of person is that?" Miaomiao was very interested, "Why do you say he is special?"
Wenying scratched behind her ears and her furry ears twitched. She recalled:
