I am the one holding the Higan flower in my hand

How would you react if someone resurrected from the dead suddenly appeared in front of you?

"You—" Kuriyama Kuriko's father suddenly took a step back, with unconcealed panic on his face. He looked at his daughter, who had not appeared for a month.

The daughter who was supposed to have died in the snow a month ago.

"Is it... chestnut?"

His father finally asked hesitantly after observing for a while. It's no wonder that the father asked this, it was because Kuriyama Kuriko had changed too much.

The withered hair became thick and shiny, the thin cheeks became soft and white, and the hands that were originally covered with calluses became soft and delicate.

With the same facial features, this person was several times more beautiful than the daughter he remembered.

Not to mention, the clothes looked very expensive.

"Father," Kuriyama Kuriko had no intention of concealing her identity. She responded with a smile, "It's me. I've changed a lot."

She turned around happily, showing all aspects of her life this month.

"Narino, Narita, Xiaoye, Hanako," Kuriyama Kuriko smiled and called her younger siblings who were hiding behind their parents.

"It's really my sister," Xiao Yezi's eyes lit up, and she subconsciously let go of her hands holding her mother's clothes, and rushed towards the sister she liked.

But she didn't succeed and her mother caught her.

"Mom?" The seven or eight-year-old little girl turned around in confusion, wondering why her mother wouldn't let her go. That was her sister who hadn't been back for a month, and whom she hadn't hugged in a long time.

Mrs. Kuriyama did not speak. Her cheeks were as thin as the previous chestnuts, and her eyes were sunken. This woman looked at her eldest daughter in silence, who had disappeared for a month. She did not answer her younger daughter, but just held her tightly. arm.

Don't let her pass.

Kuriyama Kuriko sighed, "Why do you feel like everyone doesn't welcome me?" She sat down on the stool one by one, "I almost died. It really took a lot of effort to get back."

Mr. Kuriyama thought for a while, sat next to Kuriyama, and began to ask what happened, "We thought you fell off the cliff."

The emotion in the father's eyes was concern, but his tone was so flat and dry.

Kuriyama Kuriko looked at her father and said softly, "Father, you have gray hair, you are old."

Mr. Kuriyama was startled and subconsciously reached out to touch his head. "Yes," he let out a long sigh, "Have you found a good family? That's good, pretty good, very good."

He said with pleased eyes and blessings for Chestnut. He didn't ask her why she didn't go home for a month since she was alive.

"I fell off the cliff," Kuriyama said calmly.

These words were like a drop of water falling into a frying pan, causing a boil, leaving everyone dumbfounded, shocked, and unable to understand.

"How is that possible," her eldest brother Chengye retorted excitedly as he stood up from the old stool, "Sister, what are you talking about? How could you still be alive if you fell?"

He said a little aggrieved, remembering the suffering that night, "We all thought you were dead, you know..."

Faced with the shock and questioning of her family, Kuriyama Kuriko slowly revealed everything. She did not hide the fact that she was no longer human.

"That's it, your sister and I are no longer human, Narino," Kuriyama Kuriko said with a smile.

No one answered, they were all immersed in what Kuriyama Kuriko had just said.

ghost? not human?

Mr. Kuriyama, who was the first to come back to his senses, gave a look of disbelief, "Kuriyama, you--" This man who grew up in a mountain really didn't know what to say or how to answer what Kuriyama said just now.

As a child, just ask, "Sister, are you out of your mind?"

Narino asked very seriously.

"I know you don't believe it," Kuriyama Rizi rolled his eyes, then chuckled, took off the purse hanging from his waist, and poured out the gold coins inside.

"This is?"

The power of money obviously caused a greater shock to the Kuriyama family than the fact that my sister turned into a ghost. Mrs. Kuriyama, who had been silent, quickly jumped out of bed and quickly closed the door, not at all clumsy as she was half a month pregnant.

"...Mother, be careful..." Kuriyama Kuriko warned, putting the gold coins on the table back into her purse, and then placed the purse in front of Mr. Kuriyama, "Father, let's move."

"Li Zi, you——"

Kuriyama Kuriko interrupted her father's words. She raised a big smile and said, "With this money, you can live a good life no matter where you go. Father, your worries no longer exist, so move away from this mountain."

"The world outside is wonderful. My younger brothers and sisters not only have to get married, they also have to study."

"When others ask what the word is, proudly say that I know it."

Mr. Kuriyama was stunned and murmured, "You still remember."

Kuriyama Kuriko smiled and replied, "I have never forgotten it," and I have never forgotten the day when I was scolded with dirty things I didn't recognize.

She stood up, tilted her head and looked at Mr. Kuriyama carefully, with a hint of guilt on his face, and told him very seriously, "Father, this is not your fault. But now you can prevent this from happening again." ”

The dim kerosene light did not illuminate the entire room, and the people in the room could not even clearly see the expressions in other people's eyes.

What I want to do and what I should do has been done, "Goodbye, no, farewell, my family, I wish us all a happy future." Kuriyama Kuriko smiled and rolled her eyes, her tone was lively and lively, and then she said nothing Turn around with nostalgia.

"chestnut--"

Behind her came the trembling voice of an adult woman.

Kuriyama Kuriko's steps paused slightly, just a slight pause.

"I'm sorry," a muffled cry.

"It's okay," Li Zi walked forward and stepped out of the door where she had lived for more than ten years. Her mood was very calm and her tone was also very calm. She comforted, "Don't take it to heart, I am the same way."

Never resentful.

When we went out to deliver firewood on a snowy day, it might fall to the bottom of the cliff one day. This was something that both of us knew when we were delivering firewood on the first day.

So it doesn't matter.

She had already been mentally prepared and accepted it.

Kuriyama Kuriko's back disappeared from the sight of Kuriyama's family.

When Li Zi came out today, this was not the only thing. There was another more important thing. She felt hungry. Counting the time, I haven't eaten for a month.

Having walked the road several times, Li Zi was very familiar with it, but this was the first time he could see it so clearly at night.

"Actually, the scenery in the village is also very good. It's really strange. Why didn't I notice it before?"

Surrounded by mountains, the trees are lush in summer and the streams are clear. In winter, they are covered with snow. The few wintersweet trees at the head of the village are like a stroke of genius, with a strong character.

"It's great to be a ghost," she murmured to herself, standing at the entrance of the village, staring at the houses. She knew everyone here and was familiar with them.

There is no shortage of people she hates.

Whether to eat a random stranger or a bad guy she knew, she stood there and thought for five minutes before slowly choosing the latter.

Poverty, backwardness and ignorance are often companions.

Kuriyama Kuriko walked to a house with her hands in her hands. This house was obviously much better than the others. There are eight men in his family, and they always walk sideways in the village.

The second oldest child in the family once accidentally beat a girl to death.

Of course, Kuriyama Kuriko didn't come here to eat this second child. She was prepared to eat everyone in the family, although the others would not be punished to death.

However, she is a ghost now, and there is no need for ghosts to divide these things into such fine details.

Moreover, if you divide it too finely, the ghosts will be unhappy.

Kuriyama Kuriko would not do such a thing.

She stood outside the house for another ten minutes, then shook out her kimono, opened the door easily, and said, "Vampire Ghost Technique," the branches of the trees around the house began to grow, piercing the dozen or so people in the house.

After a while, a strong smell of blood began to fill the room.

It was too troublesome for more than a dozen people to eat, and green things began to spread on Kuriyama Kuriko's legs. They were like living green ropes, tying the person up and finally wrapping the whole person.

It took a full hour for Kuriyama Kuriko to absorb everyone.

It was still a while before dawn, so she walked out of the room slowly. The snow had stopped falling half a month ago, and now most of the snow had melted.

The melted blood made the dirt ground unpleasant, and the soles of his shoes were inevitably stained with dirt every step he took.

In the past, Kuriyama Kuriko didn't care about these things, but one month of life has made her sigh at the things she had become accustomed to in the past ten years, "It's so annoying."

Dirty clothes or something.

Also, eating people or something like that has no taste at all, and there’s nothing to like about it.
