There were groups of footsteps in the distance, and the child immediately let go of his little hands holding his clothes and ran along the wall in a panic into the nearby narrow alley.

A group of people wearing uniforms with uniform family patterns came over and dispersed into all the nearby shops, seemingly looking for someone.

Fu Jiang lifted up the gauze of his curtain, and the boss who served them tea was immediately stunned.

Fujiang deliberately asked in the delicate voice he learned: "Who are these people? They look so fierce."

Hoshikuma Doji stretched out his hand to cover his eyes to block his uncontrollable smile.

Although Tomie's female voice is not very good, but with the blessing of his face, it is enough for the boss.

"They are the bodyguards raised by Hyakkiza." The boss looked at Tomie's face and asked what he wanted to answer.

"Eh?" Tomi Jiang made an incredulous expression, "Is this a noble family that can afford guards?"

The boss shook his head, "I heard that their family used to be a noble family, and now they are also the largest merchants in our local area."

Fu Jiang nodded, and the guards who were looking for someone came in and saw Fu Jiang's face at a glance. His originally menacing look seemed to be limited by the Internet speed. They slowly stood a little next to Fu Jiang and looked at him sheepishly.

Fu Jiang smiled at him and put down the tulle.

The guard who came to find someone embarrassedly rubbed his hair and asked the boss: "Danasan, have you seen a child with red hair?"

Hoshikuma Doji looked over from the side of Tomie and pointed to the alley where the child had just escaped, "He ran over there."

"Thank you." The guard nodded and thanked the boy Xingxiong, and called the others to chase the kid in the direction of his escape.

Tomi Jiang looked at the group of people who were running into the alley. Not long after, the red-haired little boy was caught like a little chicken. The child who was being held by the collar looked very well-behaved. , not struggling, looking resigned to his fate.

Tomie and Hoshikuma Doji stood on the roadside watching the child being taken away.

When the child was being carried past them, he turned his head and glanced at Fu Jiang.

The look in his eyes didn't look like that of a child at all, he was calm and not at all childish.

Seeing the child's eyes like this, the more he thought about it, the sadder he became. Finally, Tomie slapped Hoshikuma Doji next to him, "It's all your fault!"

Hoshikuma Doji opened his eyes a little because of this, and then asked with a helpless smile: "Did I do something wrong?"

"Isn't that the person you are looking for?" Fu Jiang glanced at him sideways, and followed the people who left.

Those people probably felt that the red hair was too conspicuous, so they used clothes to cover the child's body to hide his too conspicuous appearance.

But those postures and movements couldn't really be called gentle.

Fu Jiang frowned, wondering if he was a bit too rough with such a young child.

"Even if it's the person I'm looking for, taking him away without his parents' consent is considered abduction." Hoshikuma Doji made a shocked expression, like that, I didn't expect you to be like this Tomie.

Fu Jiang was so angry that he stretched out his hand and hit him hard.

Hoshikuma Doji covered his chest and pretended to be hurt.

Fu Jiang ignored him, his mind was on the child.

It was indeed obvious that there was something strange. Just by looking at those eyes, you could tell that he was not an ordinary human being, but there was no trace of demonic aura about him.

Except for the rare hair color and those eyes, there is almost no difference from humans.

"Is that really a monster?" Tomie was still very confused. Unlike modern times, in this era, it was rare for humans to have hair colors other than black, but it was not completely absent.

For example, Minamoto no Yorimitsu's white hair with red highlights, Kenso should not be completely human, so it doesn't count. Most of the other strange colors Tomie sees are monsters.

"Atavism is different from half-demon. Half-demon occasionally loses its demonic power and turns into a human being. 'Atavistic' means that it can occasionally use demonic power." Xingxiong explained with a smile.

Tomie nodded. In this way, the child should actually be considered a human being. The child's clothes were actually not bad, but looking at the way he was held by someone and the look in his eyes, he probably had a bad life.

Hoshikuma Doji knew what Fu Jiang was thinking at a glance, and reached out to pat his shoulder, "Don't think so much, just go and see what the specific situation is."

Fu Jiang looked at him and asked, "What do you think?"

"Hehe." Star Bear Boy smiled at him.

It was already late, and a little red-haired child walked out of the empty courtyard.

The child was wearing clothes made of good material. He was sitting upright on the edge of the courtyard corridor and looked up at the moon above his head.

With only such a small child in the huge house, no matter how exquisite the courtyard is, it will only look lonely.

The door behind the child suddenly opened.

Hearing the sudden movement, the child turned around and looked around. He saw the sister he met by chance when he was escaping during the day... sister?

"Oh, are you staying here alone?" Hoshikuma Doji poked his head out from behind Tomie to look at him.

The child looked at them, stunned for a moment, opened his mouth to speak, but closed his mouth.

Fujiang looked at him and subconsciously softened his voice and asked, "Aren't you going to scream?"

When a child sees a stranger breaking into the house, shouldn't he scream for an adult to save him?

The child shook his head slowly and said softly, "No one will come."

There is no problem with his pronunciation, but his speaking speed is much slower than that of ordinary people.

Tomi Jiang looked at him, took off the curtain hat on his head and handed it to Xingxiong. He sat directly next to him and asked him: "What is your name?"

"Let, Hyakkiza, let."

Fu Jiang opened the wooden box he had brought. Inside the box was the wine-flavored steamed buns he bought during the day. He opened it and took out a piece and handed it to him.

The child looked at it silently for a while, then reached out and took the steamed bun.

Tomi Jiang noticed that he moved back a little because he stretched out his sleeves, and his wrists were a slightly unclear purple color.

Hoshikuma Doji sat on the other side of Hyakki Zai Rang. He reached out across him and took a steamed bun from Tomie's wooden box, stuffed it into his mouth, bit it, and asked in a vague voice: "Did you come here on purpose today?" Find us."

Hyakkizarang looked at Hoshikuma Doji and was silent for a few seconds, but still nodded honestly.

He suddenly felt a breath this morning. He couldn't describe it, but inexplicably he felt that he wanted to go see it, so he ignored the escape plan he had prepared for a long time and ran away before the best time came. out.

Looking for that scent, I found two people shopping on the street.

It shouldn't have been like that, but he still reached out and grabbed that...sister? Want to see what she looks like.

Then he was caught.

Star Bear Boy chuckled, raised his left hand, and shook it towards the Hyakki Constellation.

The child's attention was immediately attracted, and his eyes were fixed on the bell on the gold bracelet on his wrist without moving.

It's this breath.

Hoshikuma Doji took back his hand, nodded and said, "Well, if you can sense this, it seems that it is indeed Shuten's bloodline."

Fu Jiang looked at that cute and cute little face and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch it.

The child covered the cheek he had pinched, with confusion on his cute face.

Fu Jiang asked him gently: "How are your family members treating you?"

Hyakkiza made Silence, he looked away and no longer looked at Tomie.

It's not very good for him to look at it this way.

"Do you know why you are not accepted by humans?" Xingxiong Dozi stretched out his hand to pull the child.

Hyakki Zao turned his eyes to him and nodded slowly.

Although no one told him explicitly, he heard it when the servants discussed it quietly, and he remembered it.

Tomi Jiang then asked him softly: "Then do you want to leave this place?"

Hyakkizarang was still silent, but looked up at him.

"We know the monster who is the origin of your power, and it's because of him that we came to you." Hoshikuma Doji said this very directly.

Hyakkizarang remained silent for a long time before finally asking him: "Are you going to eat me?"

A 'throwback' like him would not even stay outside the house when he encounters a demon. The villa he lives in has a strong resistance to monsters.

Hoshikuma Doji reached out again to get another steamed bun, but Tomie slapped his hand away.

He curled his lips, stretched out his hands to support his face, and carefully looked up and down at the small Hyakki Zao, and then deliberately frightened him: "That depends on your ability."

Hyakkizarang glanced at him, then looked at Tomie on the other side, and nuzzled next to him.

When he saw the two people during the day, he already knew who was in charge.

Tomi Jiang immediately stretched out his hand to protect him and glared at Xingxiong Doji, "Why are you scaring the child!"

Star Bear Doji raised his hands as if to surrender, "Okay, okay, I originally wanted to take you back to Dajiangshan, but you are not strong enough. Taking you back won't help."

The child lowered his head and said nothing, just as quiet as he had always been.

Fu Jiang couldn't help but asked again: "Do you want to leave with us? Even if you don't go to Dajiangshan, I can still take care of you in human society."

Fujiang said this sincerely.

Because he is holding the child now, his perspective is from top to bottom. Instead, you can see a lot, such as the purple color hidden under his collar.

The moment he hugged her, the child couldn't help but tremble, and then he controlled it forcefully.

Thinking of this huge house, when they came over, they only saw a few sparse guards.

On this side of humanity, this child is probably not alone in being ignored and ostracized.

It took a long time for the child to say: "They won't let me go."

Fu Jiang looked at him, still thinking.

Children often do not express their inner thoughts clearly.

Even many children who are abused by their parents will still choose to stay with their parents when they are faced with a choice.

The affection that parents can bring cannot be replaced by others.

Seeing the older one and the younger one relatively speechless, Hoshikuma Doji directly stretched out his hand and touched the center of Hyakki Zao Rang's eyebrows.

Impacted by his demonic power at this moment, the aura around the child suddenly went berserk.

The bright red demonic aura on his body materialized at that moment.

In just the blink of an eye, a pair of small black horns sprouted from his forehead, and his originally reddish yellow eyes turned into vertical pupils.

This is the demonic aspect of ‘returning to the ancestors’.

Hyakkizarang immediately broke away from Tomie's arms, huddled into a small ball, covered his two corners with his hands, turned his back to him, not wanting him to see his face.

Tomi Jiang was still looking at the child who drank the same amount of wine but shrunk many times in shock.

Oops, a little too cute.

Star Bear Boy had already walked around, stretched out his hand to pull him, held his face and inspected his pair of horns.

There is a saying among ghosts that their strength can be seen through their horns.

Hyakkizarang grinned and bared his small canine teeth at him, making an expression of 'I'm super fierce'.

If this kind of expression were put on Shuten Douji, it would definitely scare people to the point of weakness.

But when it comes to a kid with a three-headed body, it's indescribably cute.

Hoshikuma Doji probably had the same idea as he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Then he kept laughing and fell to the ground, unable to stand up.

Fu Jiang leaned over and wanted to take the child away.

Fortunately, Hyakkiza Joe's height and weight were lower than those of his peers, so although it took a little effort, he could still be carried over short distances.

At this moment, the children started to show their teeth towards Fujiang.

Fujiang had no choice but to stretch out his hand to wipe away the bit of evil spirit left by Xingxiong Tongzi between his eyebrows.

Without the stimulation of the demonic aura of his own race, Hyakki Zao's demonic aura gradually subsided and he regained his human image.

Tomie went to pull Hoshikuma Doji again, but the little monster obeyed his force and was pulled in front of Hyakki Zao.

Before Tomie could say anything, Hoshikuma Doji had already clasped his hands and bowed to Hyakkiza Joe in apology. "Sorry, we just wanted to confirm something, we didn't mean to bully you."

Hyakkiza stared at him warily and moved back slightly.

When Fujiang saw the child's behavior, he resisted the urge to cover his face, and the little animal became stressed.

After Hoshikuma Doji made his insincere apology, he stood up and lured the child with a smile: "This sister and I will stay in this town for a while. If you want to leave your family, you can come to us."

Tomie heard this and gave Hoshikuma Doji another elbow. He was wearing women's clothes, but how could he use his sister to introduce himself to the children?

Hyakkiza cast his calm gaze on Tomie, "Sister?"

Fujiang covered his face. He had a subtle feeling that his perfect women's clothing seemed to have failed.

Hoshikuma Doji reached out and flicked the bell on his gold bracelet, making it sound, attracting Hyakkiza Joe's attention.

"You know how to find us."

Hyakkizarang looked at him without speaking.

Hoshikuma Doji had already put his arm around Tomie's shoulders, and the luminous door lit up behind them, directly enveloping the two of them.

After the light disappeared, the sudden guest also disappeared.

Hyakkizarang looked back at the moon outside the eaves.

"Impolite guy."
