Shibatamaru wondered if today was a big day. After receiving a strange but good-looking drug seller, he received two guests with noble temperament who could be recognized as important people at a glance.

Ah, speaking of which, today is indeed a special day.Shibatamaru finished chopping firewood, wiped his sweat, looked at the gradually darkening sky, took a breath, and continued chopping the endless firewood.

Shibata Maru is one of the children adopted by the owner and wife of this Shibata hotel. He was given the name Shibata Maru and brought him up. When he grew up, he used his work to repay the kindness of the Shibata couple.

Shibata and his wife have a good reputation in this area. They adopted five cute and well-behaved orphans and brought them up. Moreover, the inn they run is also thriving. Many noble warriors who travel to and from Kyoto and other areas are willing to come here to rest. The Shibata inn grew bigger and became a frequent place for dignitaries and dignitaries.

The hotel has already begun to light candles, which are transparent and bright.The aroma of the meal spread to Shibata Maru's nose through the window. Other adopted children in the hall were waiting to eat. The appearance of their thin skin and tender flesh was completely different from Shibata Maru's body covered with calluses and sunburn.

But Shibatamaru didn't envy them at all.not at all.Glancing at the children's faces through the paper window, Shibatamaru continued chopping firewood, which would be used to boil water for the guests in a while, and he would have no food if he didn't chop enough, and he had to wait until all the leftovers were eaten I finished chopping today's portion before, otherwise Shibata Maru would have to go to sleep hungry.

"Shibatamaru! Is the firewood chopping ready! The guests are about to take a bath after eating!" The boss's shout came from inside the house.

"It will be ready soon!" Shibata Maru replied hoarsely, and then continued to chop today's firewood with his tired arms.

In the brightly lit and magnificent hotel, perhaps because of the hot summer, there are very few travelers living here, and only Qingming and Boya, the drug seller, and a person who seems to be familiar with the boss are sitting in the lobby eating. The merchant Tsuchida, as well as the owner and wife of this hotel.

Qingming had a face-to-face meeting with the drug seller—the table Qingming was sitting at happened to be opposite to that of the drug seller. He glanced at the sushi, rice, and pickled vegetables delivered on the table, and moved them with his chopsticks uninterestedly. After stirring and stirring, he put down his chopsticks, propped his chin on his hands, and looked carefully at the drug seller who had been paying attention to him since he stepped into the hotel room.

Seimei's eyes slid from the purple turban to the face covered with patterns under the eyes, the lips chewing food, and then to the slender fingers, and the medicine box that never left her body.

"Qingming, look at that drug seller's eyes so strange." Boya sat beside Qingming, swallowing the rice in his mouth.

"Huh? Is it strange? I think it's a very ordinary look." Qingming said, picking up the earthen cup and taking a sip of tea.

"Could it be that the drug seller is a monster?" Boya frowned slightly, as if if Qingming said 'yes', he would immediately arrest the drug seller and expel him.

Qingming glanced at Boya, just smiled and didn't answer.

"It's like this again, don't say anything!" Boya sighed unbearably.

Seimei used the earthenware cup to hide his thoughtful expression.The aura of the drug seller was inhuman, but Qingming couldn't distinguish it.Although Qingming's eyes could clearly see the pointed ears of the drug seller, not only the other people around, but even Boya seemed to ignore the obviously inhuman pointed ears.

The illusion of monsters?Or is it a confusion of divine arts?Qingming pondered, a little undecided.

Or observe it for the time being.he thought so.

The drug seller who was being scrutinized by Qingming naturally noticed Qingming's gaze long ago.As early as when the drug seller checked in with the Shibata couple, Qingming and Boya entered the hotel, and he had been secretly paying attention to Qingming.

"Boss, two people."

The two people who stepped in from the door made the drug seller's eyes light up slightly. Qingming was wearing a moon white crane feather hunting suit, a tall black hat, and a bat fan slightly covering his smiling lips. He was such a handsome and elegant person.Beside him, Boya is also very heroic and extraordinary.

"Ah, okay, please wait a moment, guest." The boss said quickly, speeding up the check-in process for the drug seller.

After checking in, the medicine seller took a nap for a while, and then came to the lobby to prepare dinner.It happened that Qingming and Boya were also there, and Qingming was still looking at the drug seller while he was eating his meal, without hiding his gaze at all.

The drug seller swallowed the rice grains in his mouth, then looked back.

As if aware of something, the eyes of the two met, both of them were slightly startled at the same time, then looked at each other with a tacit understanding and smiled, and nodded slightly.

Boya naturally noticed the interaction between Qingming and the drug seller. Seeing his expression, he seemed to want to ask a lot, but considering that the wall has ears, Qingming couldn't help but feel teased by his overwhelmed expression.

"It's nothing, it's just confirmed, the drug seller is not a monster." Qingming said.

"You can tell just by looking at it?... You really deserve to be Seimei." Boya was also full, so he put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, picked up a towel beside him and wiped his hands.

While Seimei was talking to Boya, the boss urged Shibata Maru to clean up the table for the guests. Seimei noticed that when Shibata Maru picked up the bowls and chopsticks, he saw the rice that Seimei hadn't eaten, and obviously made a swallowing sound.

"Then guest, I'll take these away!" Shibatamaru bowed his head and bowed several times.

"Take it away." Qingming said.

"Thank you so much!"

"Shibatamaru, what are you still dawdling about! Didn't you see that the guests over there also finished eating!" Dressed in gorgeous yuzen dyeing, with large sunflowers tattooed on the sleeves, and rouge and rouge on the face, the appearance The very dignified proprietress yelled sharply, Shibatamaru trembled, and hurriedly went to clean up the table of the drug dealer.

"It's really clumsy, it's not as useful as those four children who are younger than you!" The proprietress Shibata cursed, her sharp voice made Seimei's brows slightly move.And the four children mentioned by the proprietress were sitting quietly and well-behaved at another dining table, so quiet that people almost thought they were dumb.The boss comforted the boss lady: "Don't be like this, Lizi, he is still working hard. Shibatamaru apologizes to Lizi soon!"

"Ah... yes, I'm sorry, lady boss!" Shibata Maru quickened his movements, and the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding together made the drug seller suddenly raise his head.

"What's wrong with the customer?" Shibatamaru trembled, fearing that he might have offended this strange drug dealer customer somewhere.

"—Didn't you hear it? The laughter of children."

"Guest, are you joking? The children in the hotel are already sitting in this hall, and they are not laughing." Shibata Maru laughed a few times, thinking that the drug seller might have a brain problem, right?

But at the next moment, the laughter that the drug seller said suddenly appeared, and everyone heard the laughter so clearly that it seemed to be right next to their ears.A few shadows of children playing with a ball flashed outside the window, "Hehehe." "Hahaha." "Hehehe." There was also the sound of Temari being slapped and playing.

Suddenly, there was a bright and beautiful temari, which looked expensive at first glance, rolled in from outside the house. The businessman Tsuchida salivated, and quietly pulled the temari that rolled not far from his feet, and then pretended to pick it up. Tomo picked up the temari, but as soon as he took it, the gorgeous new temari turned into an old thing that was yellowed and faded, smelling of dust and mildew.

"Ahhh!! What is this!" The businessman Tsuchida was so frightened that he quickly threw away the trash in his hand, and his chubby body almost fell off the chair.

The drug seller suddenly stood up, put his hands in his sleeves and flipped over, several white paper symbols appeared between his fingers.He looked around, from corner to corner of the hall, as if looking for something.

"Hey, Qingming! Did you notice anything?" Boya turned to look at Qingming with a solemn expression.

"Don't you think it's strange, it's midsummer, but you can't even hear the noisy cicadas here." Qingming suppressed the smile on his face, and listened intently.

"What's coming."

At this time, even if there was no need for the medicine seller and Qingming to remind, everyone in this hotel felt the vibration that made the ground shake.

"Ah! Is it an earthquake! Get out!" The boss stood up in a panic, wanting to tell his wife and children to go out and take refuge, while the businessman Tsuchida hurriedly followed them, but his way was blocked by the drug seller. .

"Don't go out, that monster is waiting for you to fall into a trap outside." The drug seller had thrown out the talisman paper in his hand while speaking, and the talisman that flew out from his fingers quickly stuck to the door and wall in the hall. , black words appeared on the blank white paper, and then turned into black eyes, which looked very intrusive.

"You drug seller is so strange. I took my family to evacuate and you still stop here and say there are monsters! I've lived here for so long and I haven't seen any monsters yet!" He punched the drug seller, but the next moment he heard a roar that sounded like shouting and crying, the sound was creepy.A lingering Yin Qi filled the hall, causing the young children to tremble, their legs could not move, and some simply fell to the ground, unable to get up. Two of the children have cried.

"Monsters and monsters are different." That's all the medicine seller said.

"What's the difference? Aren't they all demons?" Boya asked Qingming with her head tilted.

"Youkai may be born naturally, or they may be born from the intercourse between youkai, but most of the monsters are born because of people." Seimei replied.He sat quietly on the chair, taking all this under his eyes.

"What are you crying for? Crying makes people upset!" The proprietress scolded irritably and beat the crying girl on the head. One of the older boys whispered to comfort the other children: "Caozi, Hanako, Sanlang, don't be afraid. , brother will protect you."

"Woooo...but...it's scary...the window...outside the window...there are eyes watching us..." Hanako wiped her tears with her hands, but the tears couldn't be stopped no matter what.

"Hi... yes... so scary... looking at us..." Cao Zi cried until she hiccupped, her snot and tears mixed together.

"What are you talking about! How can there be monsters here!" The boss's voice was so tense that he changed his tone. He said so, but he still looked back stiffly, turning his head inch by inch, even though he comforted himself that there could be monsters, but Still, when he saw the blood-red eyes coming through the paper window, he screamed: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!" under.

The shaking continued.The eyes turned, taking in all the people in the hall.The pharmacist's charm continued to swing and stuck on the paper window. The pattern of eyes quickly appeared on the charm, and then it began to turn red. There was only a piercing sound like something rubbing against a wooden board, and the eyes disappeared. Behind the paper window.
