As long as there is love, even an urban legend can

Chapter 42 Is Zashiki Warji a Male or a Female?

(The second group and the third group are full, and the expansion of the first group is not yet full)

Unlike the urban legends that appear in the city, such as Hanako, Sadako, and Gap Girl in the toilet, rural legends often amplify the horror atmosphere because of the small number of people and the large area.

That's why ghosts always attack the one person who is alone, instead of rushing to the Ginza Square to open Wushuang.

In that way, ghosts cannot scare people and absorb negative energy.

However, there are exceptions. The ghosts in the Hyakki Night Travel Record are different. They say they are ghosts, rather than "monsters". Most of the 800 million ghosts and gods in Japan are monsters.

But even Gao Mu Shangren had only seen a few monsters, not too many.

One of them is Yu Nu.

To enter the village, you need to drive across a newly built bridge. The climate in Japan belongs to the temperate marine monsoon climate, with a mild climate and four distinct seasons. It is rainy in summer and dry in winter.

When the car was about to enter the village, it began to rain lightly.

The windshield was pattered with rain, and the wipers began to blow the rain regularly.

"It's raining again." Kotaro said helplessly, "It's raining a lot lately."

"Yeah, it's summer, it's normal to rain."

Takagi Shangren looked out the window, and when the vehicle passed the bridge, he saw a wonderful woman standing in the rain.

Although the vehicle passed by quickly, Gao Mu Shangren still saw her clearly.

She was wearing a kimono with a sense of age, and she was holding an umbrella in her arms. When the vehicle passed by, she also looked back, with a sad expression on her face, as if she was waiting for someone to come back.

"Sister Yu Nu is still here"

Takagi Naojin muttered softly.

Yu Nu was a monster he had encountered since he was a child, and she was the second monster Takagi Naohito had ever seen, not counting the Zashiki Boy who had been at his grandfather's house all the time.

At that time, it was a rainy day in elementary school. Takagi Shangren was going home from school with an umbrella, but he saw Yu Nu standing on the bridge and getting wet.

There was a strong sense of sadness in the rain, but Takagi Shangren didn't understand these things at a young age, he just thought that this big sister would get sick if she was exposed to the rain on the bridge.

So he went up.

"Sister, let me lend you this umbrella."

Yu Nu turned her head and was slightly taken aback.

In her legend, she will always pester the man who lent her the umbrella, but the other party is a child.

And she didn't intend to appear in front of people today, she just came out for a casual stroll, and was actually seen by a child.

It's just that she also had to take the umbrella, and she couldn't refuse any man's request for an umbrella as a gift.

After that, she stood on the bridge holding an umbrella and watched Gao Mu Shangren run home quickly with his schoolbag against the rain, a beautiful smile that Gao Mu Shangren didn't notice appeared on his face.

like now.

When the vehicle in which Shangren Takagi was sitting drove into the village, Yu Nu also cast a beautiful smile.

'The little boy back then has grown up now. '

Then her figure slowly disappeared, leaving only the rain still falling.

--------------

Houses in rural Japan are different from those in cities, and often have a sense of the times.

Takagi Shangjin’s grandpa’s house is a wooden structure with a large yard outside, and some potted plants are planted inside. If it is bigger, it will look like a house in the last century.

And this house was built by my grandfather himself, so it's amazing.

"Grandpa!"

Gao Mu Shangren knocked on the door, and after a while, an old man with a cigarette in his mouth opened the door.

Grandpa is a little older, but he is still full of energy. He also likes to smoke and drink. It used to be old-fashioned dry tobacco, but now it is cigarettes.

"Shangren?!"

Grandpa was also very surprised when he saw Takagi Shangren, and the cigarettes on the corner of his mouth fell off.

He quickly stepped on it, and then said: "Why are you back! Didn't I tell you not to come back?!"

"It's okay, I'm an adult."

"You can't even be an adult! Come in!"

Grandpa stretched out his head to look outside the house vigilantly, and then helped Takagi Shangren get a pair of slippers. This is the case in Japanese houses, and you have to change your shoes before entering the house.

The same goes for schools.

As soon as he entered the house, the grandfather asked, "Did you hear any sounds outside? And that tall woman you once saw, did you see it?"

"No."

Takagi Shangren shook his head.

He really didn't see it. If he saw it, it would be another story.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Grandpa's hanging heart was finally relieved, he nodded, and began to ask about some household matters.

"Shang Ren, are you hungry? Let me get you something to eat."

"Alright, I'm a little hungry."

After a few hours' drive, who would believe it if you were not hungry?And there is really no need to be polite at my grandfather's house. The smoked fish and smoked pork made by Takagi Naohito's grandfather taste better than those in Tokyo!

After a while, grandpa prepared some food for Gao Mu Shangren.

Rice, smoked pork, grilled fish, clear soup, natto, etc. are all common foods in the countryside. Don’t think that these things are not high-grade. It is these authentic foods that can raise Takagi Naojin.

Putting his hands together, Takagi Shangren said reverently: "I'm starting."

Then I started to pick up a big bowl of grilled rice. The smoked pork is really fragrant, especially with rice.

Even if it is eaten dry, he can chew a large piece.

"Eat slowly, no one will fight with you." Grandpa kindly reminded him, smoking a cigarette beside him.

Takagi Shangren is his grandson. When he was a child, Takagi Shangren's parents were busy. The old man helped take care of the children for ten years, and he liked him very much.

"Uh-huh."

Takagi Naojin nodded vaguely and answered.

At this time, he thought of something, put down the bowl and chopsticks, took a sip of the soup, and started wandering around the grandfather's house.

"Shang Ren, what are you looking for?"

"Well, I'll see if there's any change."

Takagi Shangren was looking for Zashiki Warehouse, he didn't know it when he was a child, but when he grew up, he knew that Zashiki Warehouse was a monster that only children could see.

But it's also strange, because the way to discover Zashiki Doji is that parents find out that the child has a few more playmates, which means that Zashiki Doji can also be seen by adults.

Gao Mu Shangren wanted to look for it first, maybe he was still at home.

maybe still

Grandpa's house is not small, and the space is enough to accommodate a dozen people. Now only grandpa lives alone, which is less popular, but the house is still not dilapidated.

Takagi Shangren quickly visited the upper and lower floors, but unfortunately, he did not see Zashiki warji in the room.

"not here?"

Zashiki Warji is a very honest youkai, but sometimes he is childish and hides.

Maybe it's hiding.

Takagi Shangren took a sip back and sat down to eat again.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, the holiday is seven days. Even if today is counted, there are still six days left. You can't hide for six days."

The reason why Takagi Shangren wanted to see Zashiki Warji so early was mainly to clarify one thing.

Is he a boy or a girl? !
