Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 409 The Girl in the Bamboo Forest
Kagawa Prefecture.

In the early morning, mist shrouded Kagawa Prefecture, and people who got up early had already started working in the fields.

"Big brother, it's time to wake up."

Taketori Yugiri's voice rang in Chen Beibei's ears. Chen Beibei opened his eyes and saw Taketori Yugiri lying on his bedside, looking at him with wide eyes.

"What time is it?"

Chen Beibei hadn't fully woken up yet, so his voice was somewhat indistinct.

"It's already past five o'clock. Mom and Dad have already started working. Isn't Big Brother getting up yet?"

Taketori Yugiri looked at Chen Beibei and said to her.

People in Kagawa get up very early, and most people get up at four or five o'clock.

Although Chen Beibei and the others have been in Xiangchuan County for a while.But still can't fully adapt.

"Okay. Xiao Xiwu, wait for me outside the door. I'll get up right away."

Chen Beibei patted Zhutori Xiwu's head and said to her.

Although Chen Beibei still wanted to continue to sleep for a while, since Taketori Yugiri had already woken him up.

If you continue to sleep, it will probably give them a very bad impression.

"Taketori Yugiri, what do you want to play today?"

Chen Beibei looked at Taketori Yugiri and asked her.

Every morning, Yugiri Taketori's mother prepares breakfast at home.

Breakfast is basically porridge and sweet potatoes, and it tastes very refreshing.

After Chen Beibei and the others came, Taketori Yugiri's mother entrusted Taketori Yugiri to Chen Beibei's care.After all, they had to go to work early in the morning, and if they took Taketori Yugiri there, the weather would be too cold in the morning, so it would be somewhat unbearable.

"Big brother, let's go to the bamboo forest to find Princess Kaguya Ji as before. You have been here for a long time, and Xiwu asked you to play with me all day, so it must have delayed your search for Kaguya Ji .”

Taketori Yugiri looked at Chen Beibei, and said with some self-reproach.

"No. Xiao Xiwu has helped us a lot."

Chen Beibei replied.

When Chen Beibei and the others first came to Xiangchuan County, they were completely unfamiliar with the people of Xiangchuan County.Taketori Yugiri took them to know everything, and Chen Beibei said this from the bottom of his heart.

"Master, you are all up already."

Zashiki Doji's voice sounded.

Chen Beibei followed the voice, and Zashiki-douji came out of his room while rubbing his eyes.Xiaoluo's bride lay on top of Zashiki Doji's head, showing no signs of waking up.

"Zashiki-douji got up early today too."

"Master and Xiao Xiwu have been talking outside, I was woken up by you..."

Zashiki Doji said a little aggrieved.

"Sister Zashiki Doji, I'm sorry, Yugiri didn't deliberately disturb Sister Zashiki Doji to sleep..."

Taketori Yugiri took Zashiki Doji by the hand and said to her.

"Well, it's fine."

Zashiki Waruji yawned and said.

Taketori Yugiri's house is a relatively backward house, but it has a relatively large yard.

There is a well in the yard, and the water for daily use is drawn from the well.

"Master, help me fetch a bucket of water. I want to wash my face."

Zashiki Doji looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.

Zashiki Warji is relatively small in size and has no power. She is just a little monster who can bring good luck to people.

In other respects, she is actually no different from a six or seven-year-old girl.Things like fetching water are still a bit difficult for her.

"Ah."

Chen Beibei brought up a bucket of water.

Xiao Xiwu first drank some of it with her hands, and then gave the rest of the water to Zashiki Doji to wash her face.

The cool well water dissipated Zashiki Doji's drowsiness and gradually regained his energy.

"Master, I heard from you in the room just now that you are going to look for Kaguya Ji in the bamboo forest today, is that right?"

Zashiki Doji asked.

"Ah."

Chen Beibei replied.

"Can you take me with you?"

"Ok."

Chen Beibei looked at Zashiki-douji and replied to her.

Kagawa seems to be a very safe place, and the folk customs are so simple that you can keep your door open at night.

Everyone has a lot of trust in their neighbors and other people.

Probably because of this kind of trust, those people who have dark thoughts in their hearts.It's embarrassing to take action.

after all.

Others trust me, if I implement my own dark thoughts, then I will definitely lose the trust of others.so that it is impossible to live here.

This kind of thinking is different from that in some more chaotic places.

In those chaotic places, people don't trust each other, so if you do some stealing or something, you have nothing to lose.At most, after being caught, the things were returned and then beaten up.

"Xiao Xiwu, do you know where the story about Princess Kaguya that your mother told came from?"

Chen Beibei looked at Taketori Yugiri and asked her.

The previous night, Yugiri Taketori's mother had told a slightly different story about Hime Kaguya.

Until now, Chen Beibei still deeply remembers it in his heart.

That Kaguya Hime also seems to have troubles, pain, and love.

In a sense, she seems to be no different from human beings.

"I don't know, maybe my mother heard it from her mother."

Taketori Yugiri looked at Chen Beibei and replied to him.

"Ok."

Chen Beibei nodded.

Taketori Yugiri is still too young, he is only under five years old now, and it is not easy to know so many things.

Of course, Chen Beibei would not expect her to tell him an accurate answer.

"In Xiao Xiwu's eyes, what does little Princess Kaguya look like?"

Chen Beibei looked at Yugiri Taketori and continued to ask her.

Chen Beibei took Taketori Yugiri and Zashiki Doji along the fields in Kagawa County.The weeds on the ridge were wet with dew, and the soil on the ground was also very soft.

In the fields, you can often see a few people working in peace.

Even though it is already autumn, there is no feeling of desolation.

"Xigiri thinks that the little princess Kaguya Ji should be fat, with fair skin, big and clean eyes, a small mouth, and a cute rosy face."

Yugiri Taketori walked on the ridge cautiously, taking every step carefully, as if as long as he stepped off the ridge, he would lose.

This kind of game.

Chen Beibei also played when he was a child, but at that time, he mostly walked on concrete pipes and road shoulders.

Looking at Xiao Xiwu and the hazy scene shrouded in mist around him, Chen Beibei couldn't help but become peaceful in his heart.It is a comfortable feeling of surrendering oneself to the environment.

The slightly cool air, the wet trousers, and the dew on the arms, all of which are not annoying.

"Zashiki Waruji, what do you think?"

Chen Beibei asked.

Taketori Yugiri thinks that Kaguya Hime is the type of girl doll who is more inclined to be cute, probably because Taketori Yugiri herself is relatively small.So I think that Kaguya Hime is the cutest.

"Little Princess Kaguya Ji is the kind of very well-behaved and sensible girl. She is slim and graceful, with a fairy air."

Zashiki Doji replied.

"The Kaguya princesses in your two hearts are completely different. But they are both beautiful."

Chen Beibei said.

In fact, Chen Beibei also has the appearance of Kaguya Ji in his heart.After all, after listening to Kaguya Hime's story over and over again, every time I was moved to the point of crying.

That heartbreaking Princess Kaguya still has a vague shadow after all.

Dressed in plain clothes, she stood behind the curtain, with sadness in her eyes.

This is Kaguya Ji in Chen Beibei's mind, without a clear appearance, just a vague shadow.

……

Passing through the fields, there is a wasteland full of thatch.

At this time, the morning mist has not yet dissipated, and the long thatch is covered with dew. If you insist on passing by, your clothes will definitely be completely wet.

"Let's wait here first."

Chen Beibei looked at Yugiri Taketori and Zashiki Waruji, and said to them.

Chen Beibei was older than them, and his body was much taller. If Chen Beibei walked over by himself, he would probably just wet his pants.

but.

Two children, Zashiki Waruji and Taketori Yuigiri, are not as tall as those thatched grass.

If you walk over.

Not to mention the clothes, even the hair will probably get wet.

It is autumn now, and the weather is still very cold in the morning before the sun comes out.

Chen Beibei didn't want Zashiki Waruji and Taketori Yugiri to catch a cold.

"Brother, why are you waiting?"

Taketori Yugiri looked at Chen Beibei and asked him.

"Wait until the sun comes out and the dew has dissipated before going there. Otherwise, if your clothes get wet, you will be scolded by your mother."

Chen Beibei looked at Yugiri Taketori and said to her.

"Well, but we can dry the clothes before mother comes home. Then my mother won't find out."

Saying that, Taketori Yugiri got into the thatch forest.

Chen Beibei quickly pulled Taketori Yugiri back, and asked her to sit obediently on the rock beside him: "We've walked so far, let's take a rest."

……

Chen Beibei and Taketori Yugiri waited until the sun had evaporated the dew before moving on.

It was already eight or nine o'clock when we arrived at the bamboo forest.

Although the sun had already risen at this time, the light in the dense bamboo forest was still somewhat dim.

The soil in the bamboo forest is very soft, and the soil, bamboo leaves, and grass are all steaming with mist.

There is a hazy feeling among the bamboo forests.

It's like a fairyland.

"so beautiful."

Zashiki Warou couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Bamboo in the morning is cold to the touch, and some dragonflies that live in the bamboo forest are flying among the bamboo forests.

Xiaoluo's bride woke up at some point.

"Zashiki-douji sister, where are we?"

Xiaoluo Bride asked.

"In the bamboo forest where Princess Kaguya Hime was discovered by the old bamboo cutter."

Zashiki Doji replied.

"It turns out that Kaguya Hime was discovered here."

The little net bride climbed down from the Zashiki boy's head, then climbed up a bamboo, and formed a net in the air: "It's really a beautiful place."

Since the old bamboo cutter found Kaguya Ji in this bamboo forest, this bamboo forest has been worshiped by people.

In general.

Almost no one will come to cut bamboo in this bamboo forest.

As a result, the bamboo forest grew bigger and bigger, forming an endless bamboo forest.

If you look down from a high place, you will have a very spectacular feeling.

"What is the red cloth on these bamboos?"

Chen Beibei saw that many bamboos were tied with red cloth strips, so he asked Yugiri Taketori.

"This is everyone's wish. Every year on the first day of the Spring Festival, everyone will come to the bamboo forest to make wishes for the next year. Xiwu and mother may have many wishes."

Taketori Yugiri walked up to a bamboo tied with a red strip of cloth, gently held up the red cloth, looked at the blurred writing on it, and said softly: "I hope my mother is healthy..."

At this time, Chen Beibei saw that the red cloths were actually written with words.

It's just that the characters are very small, and the paint used to write them is also very close to the color of the cloth, so it's hard to find.

It is probably used on purpose to prevent people from seeing wishes at a glance when tying the cloth strips.

"I hope there will be plenty of rain in the coming year..."

"I hope my daughter is happy..."

"I hope my son will get married soon..."

Looking at the wishes on those cloth strips, Chen Beibei could feel the hope in the hearts of those who wrote those wishes.

"If these wishes are written here, will they come true?"

Xiaoluo Bride asked.

"Yes."

Taketori Yugiri replied.

"Mother and I, every wish we made has come true."

Taketori Yugiri continued.

"Then what kind of wish did Yugiri make?"

Chen Beibei asked.

In fact, Chen Beibei knew that among those wishes, many of them would never come true.

of course.

Some people's wishes will also come true.

“Hope to eat something delicious…”

"I hope to get a Kaguya Ji picture book..."

"I hope that my mother and father will always be by my side..."

"Well... and... and... I hope I can grow up soon..."

Taketori Yugiri thought carefully about the wishes he had made, and said them one by one.

"Taketori Yugiri is such a good boy."

Chen Beibei looked at Yugiri Taketori and said to her.

Listening to Yugiri Taketori's wishes, Chen Beibei could understand why they would come true.

after all.

Taketori Yugiri's wish was too simple.

There is no such extravagant pursuit of fame and fortune, nor any delusional dreams of being intoxicated, just some simple thoughts.

"Mother said that Princess Kaguya is protecting us, so those wishes will come true."

Taketori Yugiri raised his head, looked at Chen Beibei and me, and said to him.

"Ah."

Chen Beibei hugged Taketori Yugiri: "Little Princess Kaguya, I will always be with you."

The bamboo grove is very large, rather than saying that he came here to find Kaguya Hime, it might be better to say that Chen Beibei brought Yugiri Taketori and Zashiki Doji here to play...
