my weird life.

Chapter 373

call!
Putting the clothes on, Su Wu followed Da Mu and ran out the door.

A cold wind blows in the face,

It made him shiver uncontrollably.

When he and Damu rushed to the sword casting workshop in the morning, it had just rained, and the temperature was obviously lower then.

But at that time Su Wu didn't feel the slightest coldness,
At the moment, he was shivering from the cold wind.

——He entered the simulation with consciousness, and his real body stayed outside, so he could feel the unusualness of this cold wind even more.

Su Wu and Da Mu rushed out of the sword casting workshop.

A stone-and-mud road stretches forward,

There are row upon row of wooden houses and shops along the street.
Under the eaves of some houses, there are still various pieces of cloth, and various goods are placed on the cloth pieces-this should be a stall set up by a traveling merchant, and the stall is still there today, but the merchant vendor has disappeared!
They hadn't had time to pack their things,
It's time to escape the coming night by yourself first!

It can be seen that the dark sky is indeed a terrifying environment in the perception of Dongliu Island people!

Su Wu looked up at the sky,
The setting sun in the sky trembled and was about to fall into the highest wooden building at the end of the line of sight.

It is powerless to shine,

itself in a dim yellow color,
The dim yellow color diffused from around the setting sun to all parts of the sky, Su Wu and Damu only walked a dozen steps, and the whole sky turned into a dim yellow.

The dim yellow renders the house and the earth into such a color.

Even the pale face of the big tree in front became sallow and sallow.

"Dang!" "Dang!" "Dang!"

At this time, rapid and continuous bells sounded from a temple outside the market.

It seems to be urging those who have not yet returned home to rush home as soon as possible.

Seeing Da Mu, Su Wu's face turned pale with fear,

So he opened his mouth and called out: "Damu!
Haruko—Miss should have gone home by this time!
Let's go home too!
If it's too late, it's too late! "

Da Mu hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, then shook his head vigorously and refused: "No, no! Don't you know the personality of the lady? She asked us to pick her up, and she will definitely wait for us to pick her up at the original place!
If we don't get her,

She will die in this dark sky! "

This 'Miss Haruko' has such a stubborn temper?
Don't know how to escape in the face of disaster?

Su Wu changed his mind, and he didn't advise Da Mu any more. He and Da Mu crossed the muddy road and ran wildly towards the corner of the market.

He is currently simulating with consciousness, he doesn't care about his own life and death,

In fact, he has no relationship with these people—whether it is Damu, his companion, or the craftsman who made him ink, so he doesn't care so much about the life and death of others.

Disregarding the life and death of oneself and others,

He really wanted to get in touch with the current night of Dongliu Island,
See what horrors there are in this night.

Therefore, Oki's choice is also in his arms.

Tatata!
The footsteps of the two echoed in the empty city,

When turning a corner,
Su Wu saw a mud house around the corner,

The two doors of the mud house opened,
Wearing a Wu suit, a woman with a few hairpins on her head, a face so white that she had applied several layers of powder, her lips a little red like a strawberry, and extremely thick and short eyebrows stood between the two doors, looking towards Su. In the afternoon, Damu waved his hand.

Su Wu sensed a cold and strange charm from the woman,

Da Mu's face was tense, and he reminded Su Wu in a low voice: "Don't go there!
Otherwise, tomorrow we will have to visit you in the 'Mud Temple'! "

He saw Su Wu watching the woman in Wufu for a long time,
Thinking that the other party was bewitched, and wanted to respond to the beckoning of the woman in Wu Fu, she approached the mud house behind the door where she was standing.

Su Wu felt that the charm of this 'Wu Fu woman' was not strong,

According to the strangeness countermeasures department's seven grades for Li Gui,
'Wu Fu women' should be the lowest 'Song' level of weirdness.

Da Mu seemed to know something about this strange thing,

It can be seen that most ordinary people in this place are aware of the creepy 'Wufu girl', so why don't they find a way to drive it away or imprison it?
Even if the danger level is low,
But once an accident occurs, it must be at the cost of one, or even several lives!

"Abu, the craftsman in the swordsmith and the priest in the Soseki Shrine have said that many monsters are the spirits of mountains, rivers, plants, and even things. As long as we don't touch them, they will not take the initiative to harm us.

Have you forgotten what the craftsman and priest said?

Why did you just..." Walking past the mud house built by the woman in Wu Fu, Da Mu couldn't help complaining to Su Wu in a low voice.

It seems that Su Wu's previous behavior was a bit out of line,
It looks like he wants to take the initiative to contact Li Gui.

"The craftsmen and priests have said such things——are they right?

Haven't any of us died from Li Gui's attack anymore? "Su Wu heard what Damu said, and immediately thought that Dongliu Island had mastered some special method, so that as long as people didn't take the initiative to contact Li Gui, they could avoid being attacked by Li Gui, and died because of it.

So he asked Damu seriously.

Oki looked at him,
He opened his mouth.

After a while, he lowered his head and said in a low voice: "How is it possible? People still die every day. Yesterday, the puppy's parents, grandfather, and his sister were all killed by Li Gui."

"It seems that what the priest and the craftsman said is not right..." This sentence circled in Su Wu's mind for a moment, but he didn't say it out of his mouth.

With his shallow understanding of Dongliu Island,
The people of Dongliu Island are quite talkative, and they should have a deep-rooted trust in people with professions like priests.

The sky is getting darker,

Yellow to black.

Da Mu was even more anxious, and ran wildly, occasionally looking back at Su Wu who was following behind him.

——Su Wu has already seen that Da Mu has a cowardly character. Every time he looks back, he mainly checks whether his companions are following him. If he is not accompanied, he has no courage to go out to find someone at this time alone.

At that time, Su Wu didn't know the way yet,
If he knows the way,
You can also go ahead.

Soseki Shrine is located in this bustling market area with mostly wooden houses and a few mud houses and stone houses.

The torii painted vermilion stands in front of the shrine,

Then there are several tall soy sauce-colored wooden pavilions, which are the main body of the shrine.

At this time, the buildings of these shrines were very different from those in the high Tang Dynasty.

There is no distinction between "Baosha" and "Brofeng" as in later generations. Dongliu Island completely copied the various rituals, architectural styles, and cultures of the Tang Dynasty, and evolved and eroded them in the following years.
Little by little, these things that belonged to Taiya, 'turned' into their own things.

In front of the stone tablet that introduces the history of the shrine and mainly worships the gods in the center, the top is made of snow-white silk and the bottom is a long red skirt. A girl in a beautiful maiden costume stands there holding an umbrella.
Her delicate and sweet face is full of resentment,

Feeling a little gnashing of teeth.

Su Wu and Da Mu rushed over from the side street, Da Mu stretched out his head and saw 'Miss Haruko' full of resentment, he shivered immediately, pushed Su Wu, let Su Wu walk in front.

Su Wu didn't care about this, and walked straight to the shrine, his eyes fell on the beautifully dressed woman.

Like a woman's clothing,
He has seen it in many anime and games,
This kind of costume is slightly different from the costumes in the anime and games of Dongliu Island in later generations, but it can still be recognized at a glance. This is the clothes that the priestesses of Dongliu Island will only wear on formal occasions such as shrine sacrifices.

This Miss Inoue,

She's still a witch?
It makes sense,

The highest-level shrine on Dongliu Island has always used the royal princess as a maiden to show the solemnity and legitimacy of worshiping the god.

The royal princess is also known as 'Sai-o' as a maiden.

In this way, it is normal for women from the public, noble, and wealthy families to become witches.

After all, this kind of thing is always glorious.

"Why are you here now?!"

Seeing Su Wu and Da Mu approaching, 'Miss Haruko' was even more nervous, she clenched the oil-paper umbrella in her hand, her eyes were about to burst into flames, "Didn't we agree that we would go to Mingqing Village to catch hares together today?" ?

It's getting dark now,
How can I go? ! "

Go to the village to catch hares?
Su Wu looked at Haruko's immature and sweet face, and at Oki who was also immature beside him, and realized that he was actually a young man just like them.

Young people's life is always full of all kinds of curiosity and longing.

he did not speak,
Wait for Oki to take the initiative to say something.

With a mournful face, Damu kept looking up at the sky: "Miss, it's too late, let's catch rabbits tomorrow - if we delay, we might not be able to go home!"

"Well!
There is a saying in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, which is called a gentleman's words, which are hard to follow!
You broke the promise between gentlemen,

Should be punished for this! Haruko raised her plain chin, with a sly gleam in her eyes, "Put your heads out here!" "

"Hey..." Damu was dejected, and he bowed and lowered his head as he said.

Haruko looked at Abu who was standing still, feeling a little anxious in her heart.

But in order to establish prestige in front of his own men,
She can't relax no matter what she says today!
"Abu!
why don't you put your head down
Don't you want to be a gentleman? "Haruko urged.

Su Wu shook his head without changing his face: "I don't want to."

"Since you..." Qingzi didn't even hear Su Wu's words clearly, so she was about to express her own opinion, but she didn't know that the other party didn't follow her train of thought, and just said two words 'don't want' to get her ready All the rhetoric was blocked back.

She couldn't help being stunned: "Huh?"

Immediately, her cheeks flushed red: "Then you also broke your promise, stick your head over here!"

"Miss,
The reason why I broke my promise with you is to fulfill a greater promise to the craftsman.

Fulfilling the promise of the craftsman is trying to fulfill Master Inoue's expectations for me.
There is a saying in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, which is: the order of seniority and inferiority, and the difference between seniority and inferiority. If you do not follow the order of seniority and inferiority, you will not be able to be justified, and you will not be able to be called a "gentleman".

Miss Haruko, since you want to be a gentleman,
Do you want me to go against the expectations of Mr. Inoue, your father?

In this way to fulfill the commitment with you? "Su Wu looked at the girl seriously.

Haruko was stunned for a while,

His expression became more depressed, but he didn't say much in the end.

The oil-paper umbrella she held in her hand didn't hit Da Mu and Su Wu's heads after all, and she said angrily, "Let's go, go home soon!"
