【Zhou Fumei】The Immortal Witch and the Child She Picked Up

antecedent:

"I'm translating "Witch Woman's Chronicle" behind your back. When the truth comes out, you won't regret agreeing to me today."

The fire in his eyes was so hot that Mephisto didn't know what to do, he gnashed his teeth and ate three raspberries: "Let me unseal the secret spell of this memory, the riverside on April 4." Faust nodded.

"Front... Brat, I really trusted you a minute ago."

"Won't let you down. Thank you for believing in me."

—————End Chapter————

(55)

"Speak up, Mephisto."

"Ok?"

"You wore a particularly nice nightgown a few years ago."

The fork in the witch's hand broke directly, as if her teeth were about to be crushed, she was furiously angry. "So what, brat?"

"It's very beautiful. I watched it for a long time that day, and almost..." He felt his face turn red, and the witch should understand what he meant.

"Okay, let's decide this is your coming-of-age ceremony." The witch looked away and sighed.In fact, he had already thought about the coming-of-age ceremony for Faust.Just thinking about the expression of this stupid snake that day, Mephisto was so excited that he wanted to find someone to fight.

(56)

"Can our family spend Christmas?"

"Anyway, I can't."

It's not enough to say it, but Faust on December 12 was awakened by the fragrance of the trees.There was an unexpected fir tree reaching the roof, a box of red plush and white plush strips, candy canes, and flour.Looking at the small bag of cinnamon powder and Mephisto playing with two lemons on the dining table, Faust put on his apron and prepared to start making gingerbread men.

Mephisto braced his face and stared at the little snake from the corner of his eye.He didn't say anything, this guy... But it seems that he would get angry if he said it.Really, he has figured it out.

Butter… brown sugar… maple syrup… Faust muttered, opening the lids of the recipes one by one, not forgetting to cut half a lemon and make a cold cup of black tea for the witch who was waiting outside with her legs dangling.

He deliberately didn't put any sugar, waiting for Mephisto to ask him for it.

"It's good to drink some sour once in a while." The arrogant and lazy voice poked the little snake with a guilty conscience, and scooped a spoonful of linden tree honey.

(57)

Cream, eggs, melted brown sugar.

Flour, soda, ginger and cinnamon.

Faust, Mephistopheles, and a love.

After mixing the dough, Mephisto washed his hands and ran over, with the momentum of a Nuwa creating human beings, creating physics and literature.

"This is the white dragon girl, the leader of the gingerbread man army." What, is this hexagon human, Faust was surprised.

"This is an explosive warlock from the demon family, and she is a nasty woman." Is the setting so perfect? "This is a light and flirtatious agent. If the plot requires it, he will be thrown off a cliff."

Looking at this pile of mysterious polygons, Faust was really confused.I can't connect their stories with the strange-shaped ontology at all, so I am worried that I will eat and eat Mephistopheles and ask him, who are you eating, and then I feel like someone who was asked "The person who chatted with you yesterday Who is the woman" is the same pathetic man.

Then Mephisto pinched a little man with shoulders and waist very seriously, and the tail underneath knew it was him.There is another one who is equally exquisite, and it is likely to be Murphy himself.

"Because I let in too much water, I had to retreat. You hugged me and jumped from the church cross to the flower window. We ran away without looking back."

Faust did not expect that Mephisto would actually arrange for him to be defeated: "Why?"

"I didn't lose again, because I was tired of playing with this group of people, and then I took you, oh no, you took me, and started to travel around the world. Escape from the pursuit of bounty hunters all over the world."

Faust was distracted just now, and ahh, he returned to this childish gingerbread sports story.

Mephistopheles couldn't make up any more, and he blew, and the gingerbreads stood up and walked into the oven, and lay flat on the iron grid.

And the warm witch hugged Faust from behind.

The snake's tail rolled around the witch's waist, slowly rubbing against it.Arms tightened again, Faus turned around after setting the oven, without saying a word.

"I'm warm, right?"

"Yes. My heart tightens when I touch you."

"After you die, you will be icy cold."

Scared again.Sorry for my sake.In the end, Faust didn't say these words, he just hugged the Witch and kissed him, then put him on the dining table.The setting sun was dazzling and sad, and Faust licked the witch's eyes, begging him to close them.He didn't know how else to comfort the witch in front of him who suddenly showed a lonely expression.

I love you.

I love you.Repeating this over and over again, the kiss as light as flower petals falling into the water was on the witch's cheek, the tip of her hair, swimming, leaving a ring of ripples like a fish kissing the water.

The two of them were stuck together by the sweetness that was as thick as a black hole, so that the time flowed randomly, only the oven boldly reminded: "Ding!"

Mephistopheles squatted in front of the black glass of the oven, and Faust heard him swallow, indicating that it must be cooled and decorated with red, white and green syrup.The witch pouted and said something to the cloud in the sky.

"It's snowing," Mephisto said triumphantly. "The gingerbread man obeys orders, go out to see the snow!"

Faust could only walk forward quickly like a waiter, open the door for the gingerbread man guard of honor, and send them out respectfully, when he opened the door, he was startled by the snow foam.This hard... candy?

The gingerbread men each found a pleasant place to decorate themselves with sugar shells, like European women basking in the sun, and walked into the house one after another when they had had enough sun.

Be it snow or sugar, it fell on Mephisto's eyelashes, shining brightly.

The cloud that was chasing the setting sun shook off its own debris.The stardust-like light flutters in the emerald green lake, dancing, ethereal, and disappearing in the depths.Big and small snowflakes have ruined the two wangcuiquan and the two volcanoes.

The cedar was the first to accumulate the solidified fog, and Mephisto had no intention of going back to the house even though he started to sniff his nose.People like the witch who read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles must be more aware of beauty than themselves, are you fascinated by looking at the snow?

Faust entered the room and pulled out a recliner, sat on it and held Mephistopheles by the corner of his clothes.The witch, who was thinking about something, sat on Faust's body half lying down without saying a word.The little snake's tail was afraid of the cold, so it wrapped itself around Mephisto's wrist unconsciously.

The witch lowered her head, melted the snow on the scales, and kissed away the sugar on the tail.

"I don't want to go home yet, let's hear the news later."

"Ah."

"Don't freeze your tail... um...! I didn't let you in"

(58)

On Christmas morning, it was Mephisto who woke Faust up.

The witch's good morning kiss fell to the corner of his eyes, and the little snake stretched out his arms and hugged him into his arms. He hadn't recovered from the cold outside for too long yesterday, and didn't want to get up.Mephisto sighed, today is his birthday, let him be happy as he pleases.The two lay down like this for a few minutes. Faust looked uncomfortable, turned over and pressed Mephisto under him, and kicked off the quilt to wrap him around.

This seemed to be the first time that Mephisto was suppressed.In the past, Faust knew how to control his weight, but now the heavy suffocation let the witch know that she was not starving him.

It's a big kid.

"I like you..." Faust murmured and bit the witch's neck very lightly, probably because he was still awake and acting like a spoiled child.He stroked the big boy's curly hair. "I said you, obviously I raised you, don't you think it's incest to like me?" "...I like you." Faust's answer was simple and helpless. "Bad boy. Get up and eat."

Yesterday, the cloud floated for a while before the sugar flew away. Today, the sky is clear and the wind is so strong that it almost blows the house away. Fortunately, the Witch's Cottage is strong enough, unlike the two metasequoia trees outside that were blown down.The two enjoyed the white noise of the crackling coals and ate maple egg tarts, then Faust went to wash the dishes, Mephisto went back to the hut to make medicine, and soon Faust also went.

Just let every day be the same, even though both of them knew in their hearts that tonight would not be easy.They all waited for the dinner with their manic heartbeats and secret anticipation and excitement.

(59)

Faust was stirring the pinch of parsley on top of the pumpkin soup. He wanted to say something to Mephisto, but Mephisto's bulging cheeks and erratic eyes showed that there was something important to announce. People have been bringing turkey, roasted vegetables, and tiramisu with candles to the table in silence.

"Speaking of which, I haven't responded to you directly." Faust nodded.Despite their holding hands, hugging and kissing union, Mephisto never spoke of liking and love.At the beginning, I was still thinking about whether to give up my life and spend the rest of my life with this child, but now, the answer is so clear that it is only a spark that moves the lever to ignite the fireworks.

"It doesn't matter if Mephisto doesn't want to say it. I know better than anyone that you have a good face, you are strong, and you don't want to give in..." The witch stood up and covered the little snake's mouth, her face flushed with anger, Faust pretended How could he not see through the provocative trick of regressing? There were two voices in his head, one said, let this bad kid who teased you regret it for the rest of his life, and the other said, so what if you express your love?There will be no missing arms or legs, and it will make this snake boy feel more at ease.

Faust swung the tip of his tail, and it was not bad to have Murphy's soft and warm palm covering his lips. He even smelled the smell of medicine on his hand, and kissed him contentedly.Very well, your confession is over, Mephisto thought.

"So I will give you an explanation today!" The white-haired child shouted arrogantly but somewhat timidly, "Listen up kid, your birthday present is me!"

Faust stared blankly at the witch.Noticing that the lips under the palms were stiff, Mephisto felt very happy.

"From now on, you will share the rest of the time with me, as the witch's companion, no, be grateful as my lover, let me first consider where the first stop of the round-the-world honeymoon will start." The witch condescended to express her arrogant love words, and after she finished speaking, she forced her hot cheeks to look at Faust, like stars projected into the magma mouth.This arrogance and arrogance made Faust restless, after all, he loves the radiant appearance of the Demon God so much, his eyes are shining in every snowy night when he almost died.

Faust asked in an aggrieved nasal voice, "You really won't say you like me?" Mephistopheles snorted and looked away.

(60)

The birthday cake is tiramisu, the slightly bitter cocoa powder makes the cheese cream below look pure and lovely, the embryo has the fragrance of rum, and Mephistopheles is exclusive. Who would put it in the cake except him? Crisp coffee Bean, it's obviously Faust's birthday.

"I also have a gift for Mephisto, thank you for raising me, and a request," said Faust as the candles on the tiramisu were extinguished.His tone was quiet and peaceful, rarely pleading or even forceful.

The witch looked at Faust with interest while holding her chin. "speak."

He took out a thick handwritten book from under the table. "This is "The Witch's World", my translated version, I swear with my life that it is better than yours." Mephistopheles frowned, he was confident of Faust's level, but this kind of crap would cost his life swear? "Next comes the request."

"When the witch falls in love with someone, the eternal lifespan will start counting down. It comes from the third to last sentence of the second paragraph of Chapter 515, right?"

Mephisto spread his hands, he couldn't remember clearly.

"That sentence was mistranslated."

The witch's breath stopped for a moment.What, will there be more serious consequences?I am willing to risk my life and spend the rest of my life with Faust, isn't that enough?

"Thank you for your willingness to love me with eternal life, now it's my turn. The correct translation of that sentence is one by one"

"If you really love each other and give up human life, you can share the eternal lifespan with the witch until betrayal or death separates the two."

"I, Faust, will always be with Mephisto." "What are you talking about! Little brat, do you know what you said?!"

"Listen to me, please believe me, I swear on my life."

"Boiled with cinnabar and mercury, salted the petals of the revived phoenix orchid, dyed with oleander flower juice, boiled the skin and bones of lionfish, and used this paste as a lipstick."

"Your kiss will poison me, and I will be born again for your love. We will share life until my betrayal or your end."

Mephisto froze.His first reaction was, what if you can’t survive?Cinnabar, mercury, oleander, he is a little snake, not a witch like himself, any of them can kill him.

"I know what you're thinking. Believe me, please, please." He took the ointment from the small enamel dish, dipped it on a small brush, and kissed Mephisto's forehead. "Don't be afraid."

"Are...are you kidding me? You're going to die, idiot! You're going to die!!" "Yes, I'm going to die." Faust kissed the center of his eyebrows again, and put his forehead against his forehead with a smile. "I know how much I love you, so I am very confident." The soft brush was pressed against Mephisto's lips, and the venom of the eerie aroma flowed on the witch's lips. When Shide was about to kiss him, Mephisto pushed him away.

Eyes full of panic mist, brows that were so tense and twisted, he gritted his teeth and said, "You beat the kid, I love you, I don't want you to die and you haven't heard me say this before." Faust lowered his eyes With a slight smile, her cheeks were a little flushed, and she kissed the witch's lips with satisfaction.

sweet.

bitter.

Painful taste.

Faust squeezed the hand on the back of Mephisto's head for a moment, and then drooped stiffly.The witch could feel that the child in her arms became stiff and cold like countless corpses he had killed.

Mephisto let go of his lips, only to find that he was not breathing.

He closed his eyes, his lips were a little bit red by himself, and the rest was pale and frightening.

There is no heartbeat.

what did i do...?What did I do? !I’m really obsessed and promised him to do this, what if I can’t wake up, what if the book is wrong, what if he translates it wrong?

Wake up...Faust, wake up, don't scare me.The witch's hand cupped his cheeks, the side of his neck was so cold and calm, the arteries that should have been throbbing didn't move at all, like frozen Lake Baikal.

The heat was slowly dissipating from his body, his tail wagging like a dead fish in the past, his upright shoulders collapsed into a ball of mud, his already dark complexion gradually lost its color.

"Faust? Get up! Get up!!! Who allowed you to die? Huh?!" He yelled, biting the lip of the corpse, no blood flowed out after biting it, but he was anxious and frightened The tears couldn't stop. "Suffice it to say that I love you just once? It's too bad to get up! Get up!!!"

Do not make jokes.

The witch wiped away the poison from her lips with her sleeve, and then carefully touched the other party's nose, holding her breath and begging Faust to wake up, his trembling fingertips touched Faust's lips, like a little snake calling the flower. Like a hibernating rose, grind until the flower blooms.

Tears dripped down the bridge of Faust's nose, ran across his cheeks, and flowed to his lips. They were absorbed by the remaining red poison of the two in the fierce kiss like venting their anger, and turned black before disappearing into the air.

His dear Faust hissed again, and he heard his veins boil again, his lips turned red, and his heart would begin to beat again at the Witch's frequency.

A heart beating just for him, just for the two of them.

The witch's nose was so sore that she couldn't help shedding tears and rushed forward to taste the life symbol of the little snake's return. She evenly wiped the residual red stained on his lips, which had taken his life away, on their lips again in the form of a kiss. , due to excitement and choking, the pace of the kiss was messed up, and he even forgot to apply the technique, but simply used his lips and tongue to feel the other party's breath.

The witch's fingertips were so white that they were almost transparent and pressed against her chest, she didn't want to say or do anything, she just felt this heartbeat, this love that grew from a small bud to a big tree.

Faust wiped away the evidence of the two kissing with his cuff, licked the gap between the witch's lips, sniffed and stuck together, kissed the corner of the witch's mouth, and pressed the back of the witch's head with his cold hands so that the kiss could never be separated. The wet eyes and lips of the two are shining with water, and their breathing is full of impatience and reluctance. Because of the excitement and choking, they have long forgotten the other things. They just want to cling to each other until the last flower of this snow melts, and then the first spring in spring Embrace each other again when the flowers bloom.

It wasn't until he was out of breath, until the kiss that confirmed the other party's heart gradually deteriorated, that he blushed and came to an end.

Faust coughed twice, leaning on the table, "What honeymoon travel around the world are you talking about? Is there something missing?... Coo, cough, cough!!" "Is it the heart? Or blood? Does it hurt?!" Mei Fei Stuart panicked, went to find his staff, and was held tightly by Faust, not letting go.

The little snake smiled slyly.

Opening the palm of the right hand, a small velvet box, ding ding dong dong accompanied by the crisp sound of the music box, stood up straight like a stretched child, and greeted Mephisto.

is this snowShiny, white, small.

Is this a star?It shines and is very hard.

"This pair of rings is a testimony, a collar of my eternal loyalty, and a title of my secret love that can be seen."

"Mephisto, I beg you, to marry me, Faust."

The witch froze, he wanted to scream, his footsteps paused, his legs were so weak that he couldn't escape, the tears that were moved just now began to evaporate rapidly because of the heat on his cheeks, and then rolled out a new, majestic witch crying stupidly Damn, she even wiped her face with her sleeve. "You are really capable! How dare you treat me like this!" But he cried like a baby, like an aloe with teeth and claws, and the thorns are tender.

The little snake smiled, and lifted the ring box a little higher, Mephisto couldn't be fooled by him, and stretched out his finger angrily. "Ring finger? Middle finger?" "I don't know which size you slapped?" As expected of Mephistopheles, Faust swallowed and put his ring finger on without saying anything.

"You're sensible, little snake." Mephisto was clearly still trying to force himself, but that suppressed smile looked as sweet as honey with syrup, and his soft cheeks were warm with excitement, Faust De Yue looked more and more reluctant to look away, until the witch was embarrassed by his stare, and took out the remaining ring and put it on the domestic snake.

The interlocking fingers of the left hand, in the hut, represent the shiny engagement rings, which are almost dazzling. The two of them just face each other without saying a word, because their mouths were covered with sugar because they were too happy, and they looked at each other and quickly moved away. Sight, until Mephisto couldn't take it anymore and ran away, hid in the kitchen and gulped down a bottle of iced milk, then ran back and hugged Faust from behind.

Isn't Faust in a state of overload?He was also about to lose his ability to think, too many things happened tonight, so smooth, he almost passed out because of the success of the marriage proposal, he covered his face with his right hand to dissipate heat, and rubbed the back of Mephisto's hand with his left hand.From the day he got the two diamond rings, he took them out every once in a while to look at them. He wanted to tell the whole world, but no one could tell them. It almost made him lose his hair.To be honest, he is a little out of breath now, with white stars in front of his eyes, Mephisto said sullenly against his back, your heart is not beating so fast, is it?

Sighing, Faust took three deep breaths, but still couldn't control it, "No, I'm still dizzy, Mephisto, help me find some medicine."

When Mephisto came back with Banlangen, he was still thinking, where did he get the size of his finger?He thought about it from the beginning, until he recalled the day of the carnival, when he went to the jewelry store to meet his cane... Oh!I said, why did you pinch my left hand at that time!The bastard snake, it really grew badly!

He came out flushed and angry, and saw Faust squatting on the ground, yes, squatting like an old farmer, shrugging his back, and finally gave up and cried, talking incoherently like a child Words such as "I love you so much", "I'm so happy" and "Death without regret" are repeated in different word orders, as if the human language and the witch's language are randomly changed, just like the day I picked him up and taught him how to speak, Xiao The snake is there, wants the name, the name thanks sorry for the nonsense.

"Let's celebrate Christmas first." Mephisto also took two deep breaths before he adjusted. In fact, he was so excited that he was about to go into shock.Rubbing his curly hair, Faust looked up at him, and then saw the pair of rings on his hands and began to cry again.

"Things that are not good... Do I have any choice but you? Do I have a reason to reject you?"

Faust reluctantly understood Mephisto's words and nodded with a grin. "Stupid snake! If you dared to put your middle finger on me just now, I'll beat you into amnesia! Did you hear me! Look at me! Don't, don't faint, hey——!"

(61)

"Don't worry about it, my dear Mei Fei, everything has been arranged." The little snake covered his left hand from the other end of the table with a smile, and the ring fingers of the two, representing the engagement rings, were carefully pressed together, rubbing against each other and sending out only wind energy. The crisp sound heard was flickering in the morning sun, and Faust smiled shyly and closed his eyes.

"The day of my wedding with the witch is my funeral as a human being. I will swear in front of the tombstone, exchange rings, and kiss the witch who killed me."

The witch blushed and cast out a handful of stones, thinking to herself, who taught this bastard snake to talk dirty. "Little devil, what style and material of tombstone do you want!"

"Don't ask the dead this question." Faust smiled and sighed, but answered seriously. "A piece of emerald pink marble, simply engraved with Faust and Amefest."

"This is the tombstone, stupid Faust, at least write the dates of birth and death!" The witch hit him on the forehead with a small stone.

"Oh that, just engrave it on the wedding ring."

"You bastard dying man!!!"

"I am the witch's dying man, Mephisto."

"...how about Florence?"

"it is good."

"Then to Belgium, then Holland, then Germany."

"Mephisto decides."

"Let's go then."

"To travel around the world, to meet all kinds of people, to fight wits with church hunters, to see the sea and snow-capped mountains."

"To love you."

"you shut up."

"Love you."

"…………………Me too."

Just like Faust's revived heartbeat, their wedding journey began from this moment.
