61. Xu is my robbery
“The seafood here is cheap and the seafood dishes are also very good.”
“This crab must taste good.”
"There is also this fish, which is very suitable for soup."
Relaxation is indeed relaxing. This is the first time that Chen Xing has seen Belmode so relaxed, as if he had removed the weight of his usual days, as if he had returned to the water.
"Have you been here before?" Chen Xing said casually.
Belmode was squatting on the ground and holding his chin to watch the ornamental fish. His eyes were filled with smiles, as if he hadn't heard what he said.
Chen Xing stopped asking.
Because it is an island, the dishes are mostly seafood, and the taste is really good.
After satisfying his taste, Belmode proposed to go to the island's shrine to take a look.
Chen Xing subconsciously thought of the time he went to Osaka before, and he still sought a visa at the shrine that was said to be very effective.
"Hey!" Just as I was thinking, a fair hand suddenly appeared in front of me.
Belmode came over and said, "I'm right in front of you, can you be distracted from thinking about something else?"
The two were very close, and a faint fragrance passed through the tip of their noses, perhaps because they were blowing cool. Chen Xing saw that her ears were a little pink. He reached out and pinched them gently.
"You!" Belmode opened his eyes wide, moved his lips, and did not make any sound for a while.
In fact, as early as when he reached out, her eyes were staring at him and she watched helplessly, but she didn't expect that he was so 'big or small'.
Chen Xing had already awakened her Meng Lang, but when she thought that she had been making trouble for herself, she raised her chin with confidence and completely learned her previous expression.
"Wait for me." Belmode smiled kindly.
Chen Xing coughed gently to hide his guilt, and he was dissatisfied with his mouth, "I will accompany you at any time."
Belmode twitched, admiring his courage.
...
The shrine on the island.
Compared to other places, it is a bit deserted here.
When the two arrived, only one young woman in a white kimono and a red ribbon was sweeping the fallen leaves in front of the courtyard.
When asking for a sign, Belmode spoke, "Looking at her dress, she looks like a witch on the island. Do you think she knows about the mermaid?"
Along the way, Chen Xing also learned that the island has a strong smell of mermaid legends. Many tourists come here to see it and believe in the existence of mermaids.
Because it is said that there is a long-lived old woman on the island who has eaten mermaid meat. She lived for hundreds of years, which seems to prove that immortality is real.
Hearing this, Chen Xing couldn't help but smile and said, "This is just a legend. How can there be a mermaid in the world?"
"Since there is no, where does the legend come from?" said Belmode.
Chen Xing didn't understand debate, but subconsciously wanted to refute it, but when he saw this clear and bright face in a short distance, the word "Eternal Life" that he heard the most often on the island, and he couldn't speak.
He still believes it without seeing others, but he has seen someone who has not yet grown old for more than ten years and is still so beautiful.
"What are you stunned again?" Belmode frowned.
Chen Xing opened his eyes and said perfunctorily: "The mermaid in the fairy tale."
"I told you that I'm not going to be strong." Belmode snorted and walked towards the witch.
Chen Xing was silent for a moment and followed.
The young woman's name is Shimabukuro Kin-ei, who is indeed a witch in the shrine, and the longevity mother-in-law who is widely circulated is her great-grandmother.
"How could my great-grandmother be 200 years old? In fact, she has just turned 130 years old this year. You can tell immediately if you just check your household registration." The witch was leaning on a broom, holding her chin on the back of her hand, and said helplessly: "She has just lived a little longer than ordinary people, which has caused such a big commotion."
Chen Xing glanced at Belmode: Did you hear it?
Belmode glared at him and asked, "Have your great-grandmother really eaten mermaid meat?"
Shimabukuro Kin-e was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and laughed, "It seems that there are no animals like mermaids in this world, right? Those are all nonsense."
Chen Xing glanced at Belmode again: Look, I was right.
Belmode kicked him in a slight angrily.
Seeing this, the witch chuckled, "Are you two here to see tonight's dugong celebration?"
"Sorry, what is this celebration?" Chen Xing asked.
"Actually, my great-grandmother drew lots and awarded three dugong arrows to the villagers." The witch explained: "By the way, dugong arrows are the amulets for immortality."
"That's how it is." Chen Xing nodded, "that must be very lively."
"That's right, since you're here, don't miss it. After all, the celebration is once a year, and the two of them come so coincidental that it's very romantic to watch with their girlfriends." The witch said with a smile.
Chen Xing's face turned hot, "No, not a girlfriend."
"Yes, I'm the fuck." Belmode smiled slightly.
"..." Chen Xing.
"o_o ..." The witch.
...
At night, the island lights were lit up, and people rushed to the same place.
The sound of drums and lights were filled with people.
It was dark all over the place, and the bonfire in the courtyard was like day.
Chen Xing yawned secretly.
"Are you so bored when you're with me?" Bellmode said lightly beside you.
"No." Chen Xing hurriedly said the truth.
"Then will you still be sleepy?"
"Physical reaction."
"You have a lot of reactions in front of me." Belmode's lips curled, pointing out.
Chen Xing choked, and couldn't answer this.
"The longevity woman finally appeared!" Fortunately, the onlookers' screams relieved him.
"So short." Chen Xing was surprised.
The longevity woman in the corridor is indeed very short, the small one is probably taller than Conan. She is wearing a kimono and has a pale makeup on her face, so she can't see her appearance clearly.
But immediately, Chen Xing's eyes moved, and he carefully looked at the longevity woman. As he looked at her, there were many doubts between her eyebrows.
"What's wrong?" asked Belmode.
Chen Xing thought for a while and lowered his voice, "She should be the same person as the witch we have met during the day."
The lights were hazy, and Belmode's drooping eyelashes trembled, and there seemed to be a stream of light in his eyes, but in the blink of an eye, he was suspicious, "How is it possible, one is a young and beautiful woman, the other is a staggering old woman, the difference is too big, right?"
"It's true." Chen Xing said: "I can feel it."
"Feel?"
“I have practiced.”
"Breaking me?" Belmode obviously disbelief.
Chen Xing was depressed, but although he didn't know why the witch concealed it, it was not important to be bothered, so there was no need to worry about it.
Then, he heard a faint cry from the crowd around him, "I seem to be hit!"
The sound was familiar. He raised his head, let go of his perception, and then "see" the source of the sound.
"He Ye?" Chen Xing was stunned, and asked Ye's Fu to let him "see" several acquaintances at the same time.
After a coincidence of the iron triangle, we gathered again.
Thinking of a law that he couldn't escape, he couldn't help but caress his forehead.
"Who?" Belmod caught his whisper.
Then he pressed the brim of the hat and looked around.
Chen Xing: "No one."
