Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 10 Kappa, Don't Cry

Grandma Zhang burned clothes by the river early in the morning. Chen Beibei heard about it from the people in Qinghe Town.

They are always like this, their lives are as ordinary as water, and if something happens, it can be quickly spread to everyone's ears.

Even if you don't want to hear it, you can't.

Because these voices will haunt the roadside, and they will also haunt the breakfast shop.

Even when you go to the toilet, the person in the cubicle to your left and the person in the cubicle to your right are talking loudly.

There are two main theories about Grandma Zhang burning clothes by the river.

One is that Grandma Zhang is burning clothes for her husband.

The other is that Grandma Zhang is just burning some useless clothes.

Only Chen Beibei knew the real reason why Grandma Zhang burned the clothes by the river.

"Grandma Zhang, did you burn the clothes for me?"

Kappa also seemed to have guessed this, so he asked Chen Beibei.

"Well, yes. Grandma Zhang's clothes were burned for you."

"But, I can't receive the clothes. Doesn't Grandma Zhang know?"

The kappa continued to ask, such an approach seemed a little incomprehensible to her.

"Of course Grandma Zhang knows. It's just that she is looking for a comfort. Because only by burning the clothes can her heart calm down."

Kappa couldn't understand Chen Beibei's words, and neither could Three-Tailed Fox.

Human beings are so strange sometimes, knowing that what they do has no effect at all.

But will continue to do it.

At night, Chen Beibei took the Kappa to Grandma Zhang's house again.

Chen Beibei decided that tonight, he must find out the cause of Kappa's death.

night, quiet, cold...

There are no other pedestrians on the road, if anyone sees Xiaoshui.

It must be scary, right?
A girl exactly like the one who died ten years ago.

In the dark night, walking on the street.

"Big Brother, shall we go to Grandma Zhang's house today?"

Xiao Shui saw that the road Chen Beibei took her was exactly the same as the road that Chen Beibei took her last night.

"Well, let's go find her together today."

Chen Beibei picked up the kappa, his body was cold and there was no warmth.

Like a dead person.

That's right, Xiao Shui was a dead person in the first place.

The lights at Grandma Zhang’s house are still on, I don’t know if it’s because of what happened last night.

Let her dare not turn off the light to sleep.

"Bang bang bang..."

Chen Beibei knocked lightly on the door a few times, just like Xiao Shui last night.

The room was silent, without any movement.

The lights at Grandma Zhang’s house are still on, so she must be at home too.

Chen Beibei knocked a few more times, but there was still no movement in the room.

Could it be that Grandma Zhang didn't dare to open the door because she was afraid that the Kappa would knock again?
"Grandma Zhang, it's me, Chen Beibei." Chen Beibei shouted loudly into the room.

At this moment in the room, a voice finally came out.

"Chen Beibei, what's the matter?"

Grandma Zhang's words, accompanied by the sound of small footsteps, were not very clear.

The door opens quickly...

The first thing Grandma Zhang saw was Chen Beibei, she finally let go of her hanging heart.

"Grandma Zhang, good evening..."

The girl's voice was soft and familiar.Could it be that girl from last night again?
Grandma Zhang didn't dare to look at it, because that face, to her, belonged to a dead person.

Grandma Zhang subconsciously took a few steps back, her complexion turned slightly pale.

"Grandma Zhang, don't be afraid, she is just the girl with me." Chen Beibei looked at Grandma Zhang and said to her.

Chen Beibei's words made Grandma Zhang feel relieved.

At least not so scared.

Could it be that in this world, there are really two unrelated people who look exactly alike?
"Chen Beibei, you came to see me, what's the matter?" Grandma Zhang looked at Chen Beibei and asked him.

"Grandma Zhang, I just want to ask you some questions."

Earlier, Chen Beibei asked Grandma Zhang about the cause of Chunxue's daughter's death.

At that time, Grandma Zhang didn't tell him.

Now that Chen Beibei came to her again to understand the matter, Grandma Zhang naturally guessed Chen Beibei's purpose.

"You go, alas... those things have passed, what's the point of asking now?"

After Grandma Zhang finished speaking, she was about to close the door.

"Grandma Zhang, you don't want her to keep looking for you, do you?" Chen Beibei said hastily.

The Kappa's eyes looked at Grandma Zhang, they were big and watery...

It looks so cute.

But Grandma Zhang has something in her heart, she is still afraid.

Cute is cute, after all, Xiao Shui is a ghost, and ordinary people still can't accept it.

Grandma Zhang looked at Chen Beibei and Kappa, and was silent for a long time...

Then, he shook his head: "Come in."

There was a weak light in the room, and the light bulbs in Grandma Zhang's house were still old-fashioned, and they had not followed the trend and replaced incandescent lamps.

Under the dim yellow light, the shadow of the person is very clear.

Three people, two shadows...

"She...isn't human?" Grandma Zhang spoke first.

People of the older generation are more superstitious, and some things about ghosts are still widely spread.

The kappa jumped down from Chen Beibei's arms, and the shadows on the ground turned into three.

"Ah."

Chen Beibei nodded.

Chen Beibei didn't know if ghosts had shadows, but he knew that Xiao Shui had shadows.

"Is she Haruyuki's daughter?"

When Xiao Shui heard Haruyuki's name, his face became gloomy.

Then, slowly ease...

"The memory of that day must be fake..." Xiao Shui said secretly in his heart.

The gloom disappeared, and there was only grievance on the face...

Kappa buried her face in Chen Beibei's lap, and Chen Beibei patted her head.

"Well, Grandma Zhang, can you tell me about the situation back then?"

The window of Grandma Zhang's house was not closed firmly, and there was a gap in the middle.

The cold winter wind entered the house through the gaps, making it chilly.

Grandma Zhang had a troubled expression on her face, as if she was thinking about something.

The prompt given by the system told Chen Beibei that the Kappa was killed by someone.

Grandma Zhang's hesitation just shows that the death of Kappa is not a simple matter.

"I can tell you, but you must not say it..."

Grandma Zhang was speaking to Chen Beibei, but she was looking at Xiao Shui.

"Well, Grandma Zhang, don't worry. I won't say anything."

What Chen Beibei wanted to do was to fulfill Xiaoshui's long-cherished wish, not to hold anyone accountable.

So there is no need for him to leak this matter.

"I was the one who discovered Haruyuki's daughter when she died. At that time, she was floating in the river, and her hair was entangled by tree roots by the river. That's why I didn't follow the river downstream..."

Grandma Zhang first talked about the scene when Haruyuki's daughter died.

Then he glanced at Xiao Shui, whose face was still buried in Chen Beibei's lap.

And can't see what expression...

　I haven't left a message for a long time, sorry(.)
