Chapter 848 The Reason for the Girl's Gray Hair
Delicious food can always lift your spirits and quickly bridge the gap between two strangers.
After taking a couple of sips of coffee, Mr. Oya thought the coffee shop manager was a nice person.
After tasting the restaurant manager's cooking, he felt that the young man in front of him was a kindred spirit.
"How could you make such delicious food!" Mr. Oya grabbed Su Yang's hand, his emotions overflowing like a burst dam.
"I haven't had such delicious food in many years. It tastes exactly like I remember. Japan was going through a difficult period back then..."
That night, Mr. Oya talked to Su Yang for a long time.
Su Yang was bored, so he listened quietly to his story.
Late at night, when Mr. Oya came to his senses, he realized it was already very late. After saying goodbye with deep apologies, he reluctantly left the coffee shop.
"Then it's settled. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning, and we'll go fishing in the countryside together."
"By the way, manager, what kind of meat do you use to make your dishes?"
Su Yang: "It's Gomora meat."
Mr. Oya clearly didn't understand: "What kind of creature is that?"
“Mr. Oya, you don’t want to know… I’ll take you home.” Mitsunari helped Mr. Oya into the car, then took the driver’s seat.
……
The next morning, Mr. Oya's minivan arrived at the cafe right on time.
As we agreed last night, we went fishing in the countryside together.
Su Yang generously gave all the shop assistants a day off, which he considered a team-building trip to the countryside.
"Finally, I can rest." In the car, Kutton yawned, as if he hadn't slept well the night before: "I've been in charge of the store for a while now, and it's kept me very busy."
“That won’t do. Children this young should focus on their studies.” Mr. Oya felt that he was older and had obviously put himself in the position of an elder.
Everyone just smiled and remained silent.
The minivan drove for a long time, passing through smooth asphalt roads, through city buildings, and finally turning onto country lanes.
“We’re almost there…” Mr. Oya, who was driving, stretched out a hand: “Mitsunari, could you bring me the box from the trunk?”
The car finally stopped beside a country road. Mr. Oya, carrying the box, walked up to the edge of the field and shouted to the two people working in the distance, "I've brought what you asked me to bring!"
The middle-aged woman, busy in the field, looked up, recognized her familiar old friend, and walked up to the ridge with a smile: "This kind of thing can be sent by express delivery, why bother you to come all the way here in person?"
"It's nothing, I came here to fish and just wanted to see you and Jinmiko." Mr. Oya said, then raised his hand to greet the girl behind him.
The girl was a bit introverted, so she nodded timidly without saying a word.
The middle-aged woman standing next to Mr. Oya smiled apologetically: "You know about the child's situation. After that incident, she has become less and less talkative."
Mr. Oya nodded: "I understand..."
……
Inside the small house in the countryside, Guangcheng looked around and found that the conditions in the countryside were much better than he had imagined: "Are houses in the countryside this luxurious now? I don't even have this kind of living condition in the city."
"Because the countryside is sparsely populated," Su Yang replied casually, glancing around as if something was amiss.
Finally, his gaze fell on the white hair growing on the top of the girl Jinmiko's head.
This girl looks no more than sixteen or seventeen years old; she shouldn't have so much gray hair.
Premature graying hair? It doesn't seem like it.
Is the girl under too much pressure?
Driven by curiosity about the girl, Su Yang used his immense mental power to scan her entire body. It's no exaggeration to say that he could even see through her cell nuclei.
Finally, it was concluded that the girl was severely deficient in iron.
"This state doesn't seem like being sick; it's more like being interfered with by some supernatural force..." Su Yang murmured.
"You noticed it too, didn't you?" Omega quietly leaned closer at that moment.
Omega continued, rambling, "I feel... there's a monster here."
"Alright, I won't bother you two any longer. We should go fishing now. See you later." After sitting for a while, Mr. Oya hurriedly grabbed his fishing rod and went out the door.
At the same time, they were also urging Su Yang and Guang Cheng.
"I'm here." Su Yang looked up and replied, carrying his fishing gear as he went out, while giving Omega a wink.
Omega understood and nodded.
……
Shortly after the guests left, the young, white-haired Jinmeizi quietly went up the back mountain carrying a bucket of farm tools.
Omega wanted to investigate the reason for the girl's strange aura, and followed closely behind.
On the open ground behind the mountain, Jinmeizi held an iron bucket in her hand, and in front of her was a large white-scaled snake that was five or six meters long.
At this moment, the giant snake was chewing on the ironware she had offered, occasionally letting out joyful cries.
Jinmeizi rested her chin on her hands and smiled, "Eat slowly, I brought you lots of food today."
"As expected, there is a monster." Omega stepped out from behind, looking at the giant snake in front of him with a hint of doubt.
Jinmei was startled, and immediately shielded the giant snake behind her: "No, don't hurt it! It's my good friend!"
Omega quietly looked at the white-scaled serpent: "I just came to check on things. Who said I was going to hurt it?"
Monsters are an important part of the cosmic ecosystem, and as long as they do not interfere with the development of planetary civilizations, they do not necessarily need to be dealt with.
Omega wanted to ask more about the giant snake, but then a familiar figure emerged from the nearby woods and strolled leisurely toward the snake.
The man raised his hand, and the giant snake obediently lowered its head. Then, the man stroked the snake as if petting a dog's head, and asked, "Lately, have you often felt weak?"
“Me?” Jinmiko pointed at herself, looking at the strange man in front of her with confusion: “Sometimes this happens.”
"But I can assure you, it has nothing to do with it!"
"Also, didn't you go fishing with Uncle Dawu? How come you suddenly popped out of the woods!"
"Don't worry about the details, I'm just a fisherman passing by." Su Yang waved his hand, then turned to look at the giant snake.
"This girl says she often feels weak. Do you know why?"
The giant snake shook its head in confusion.
Su Yang raised his hand and slapped it!
"Pia!"
The giant snake's head lolled to one side after being slapped.
Fortunately, Su Yang hadn't exerted himself and recovered quickly.
The girl next to her panicked when she saw this: "Why are you hitting it?! It's a very, very good snake!"
Su Yang: "Its food is steel. When it interacts with people, it will unconsciously absorb iron from the human body. This is why you have premature gray hair and often feel weak."
"To put it simply, the longer you spend with her, the faster you'll die!"
“I know, I sensed it a long time ago.” The girl nodded.
"But so what? Even if I die, I'll die with my life! (｀へ?0?7)"
