I raised my head as if nothing had happened, and pretended to be surprised: "Hey, what a coincidence, you're here too?"

"Yeah! Because I want to collect fresh flowers, I came here very early!" She happily replied, "Is the big sister also here to see the flowers?...Eh? What is that? A knife?"

Her suspicious gaze shifted to the knife I was holding.

"Well, it's for self-defense..." I grabbed the handle of the knife with one hand, and slashed backwards, "When you go out alone, you always have to beware of the danger that will appear at any time!"

The half of the black shadow fell and turned into a skinny arm.

The ticking black liquid spilled all over the floor, exuding a rancid smell.

Then I heard the little girl screaming behind me. I turned around with the knife in my hand and saw her fall to the ground with a frightened expression on her face.

"Are you okay?" I walked up to her and pulled her up.

She stood up and leaned against me tremblingly, "Just now... what was that?!"

"'Ghost', the kind that can eat people." I said lightly, putting the knife back into the scabbard, "I don't know why it appears during the day, it's quite strange. Is this the first time ghosts appear in this place? No matter what, it’s better to come less in the future.”

"Eh?" She who was very scared at first suddenly became anxious, "But, but, there are my flowers growing here, I can't abandon this place...I..."

"My own life is more important." I touched her head, "You know? Don't come here again."

"...But..." She lowered her head, tears falling down, "But this will lose my sister's life, even if there is a ghost or something... If there is no money to sell flowers to see a doctor, my sister will get sick Dead ones, I don't want them!"

I looked at her in distress, and then couldn't help sighing, "Forget it, where is your home? I'll take you home first."

"Thank you big sister..." She pinched my sleeve, obviously still in a state of loss, with her head hanging down.

In order to divert her attention and obtain information, I asked some questions on the way down the mountain. Her name is Qiu Ye. Her family has a sister Xia Ye who was born with a disease. He couldn't bear to give up his daughter just like this, so he both hanged himself and committed suicide, leaving only her sister to lead her to survive with difficulty.

This mountain is called Holly Mountain, because when it snows, the whole mountain will have a light blue color when viewed from a distance, so it is named Holly for this reason.And there is indeed a shrine dedicated to the mountain god on the mountain, but it has been abandoned for a long time, and the mountain god has probably disappeared long ago.

I asked her if she had seen anyone come here, she thought for a while, and said with some hesitation, "I came here to pick flowers before, and sometimes I saw people passing by here, but I don't know if they went to that shrine, because It's been a long time since anyone came."

It seemed possible that the victims had all been here.

But I don't know why they all go to that shrine. I guess it is inseparable from that ghost. In short, I have to send Qiuye home first and then go back here to check.

Back at the foot of the mountain, when I saw the back of a man wearing a yellow-and-white triangular-patterned haori and the golden hair color, I couldn't help but admire my wife Shanyi's perseverance.

Why can you be so persistent!It must be because he is too aggressive that he still can't catch up with girls with this perseverance!If the behavior can be slowed down and restrained, maybe the wife and children are hot now.

But before I approached him, he suddenly turned around and showed me a bright smile, "Miss Shigure! I heard your footsteps! Eh? Why is there still a small voice..."

Qiu Ye standing behind me poked her head out quietly and looked at him curiously.

I said: "Your hearing is very good! Can you hear it so far away?" Obviously I have restrained the sound of footsteps, and I have been exercising, but I can hear it this way, my ears are too good!

He smiled embarrassedly, scratched his head and said, "No, no, it's just that he was born like this, and he's not very good at all!"

...It seems that he is the type who likes to be praised.

Speaking of which, Tanjiro's nose is also terribly sensitive, what kind of brothers are these two? !One ear and one nose...

My wife Shanyi asked with a cute expression: "Are you going down the mountain now? Let's drop by!"

Me: "...All right."

Haven't you been waiting here all this time? !Where did it come from? !

"...Miss Shiyu's words, I have thought about it, carefully and carefully, many times!" He said.

I:"……"

...you can but don't have to, really.

"I can tell that Miss Shigure's words are sincere, and she really thinks of me...so I'm very happy! It's the first time a girl said such things to me, and it's also the first time someone thanked me for liking me , instead of hating me more..."

My wife Shanyi lowered her head, her ears turned red, she seemed to be shy, "So, I, I will also respect Miss Shigure..."

Then he suddenly closed his eyes and shouted loudly: "If it is allowed, please let us be friends!"

Even Qiu Ye was taken aback by him, and he huddled tightly behind me.

I looked at him in shock: "..."

this person...

Is there any strange property developed? !

What happened to the sudden change of flirtatiousness? !

"Ah, friends, it's still okay, um... Shanyi?" I didn't know what to say, and I felt a little embarrassed because of this inexplicable atmosphere.

My wife Shanyi covered her face and screamed: "Ahhhhh! Please continue to call me by my name from now on!"

"..." I calmed down, and suddenly my heart felt stagnant.

Walking down the mountain and returning to the road, when Qiuye took us around the edge of the town and walked to her house, I didn't expect that although the house was dilapidated, there were many flowers and plants around it, and it seemed to be in good condition. It's very good, it feels very warm, and it looks like a very careful and serious life.

"Sister! I'm back!"

Qiu Ye let go of the hand that was holding my clothes all the time, and ran into the house with a relaxed smile like a bird returning home.

"Ah, by the way, big sister and big brother are coming in too! I invite you to drink scented tea!" She turned around and waved happily at us as if remembering something.

I smiled, and was about to raise my legs and go in, when my clothes were pulled by someone, and I looked down to see that the hand that was pulling was showing blue veins.

"What's wrong? Shanyi?" I turned around and asked in doubt.

My wife Shan Yi, who had been very lively all the way, suddenly became motionless, and showed a frightened expression of being frightened by something horrible.

His teeth were chattering, but his hand was still holding on to me: "Miss Shiyu... But, can you, don't go in! Please... It feels so scary... I heard, I heard such a terrible voice... ..."

The author has something to say: Why hasn’t Tan Tan come out yet!No matter how you think about it, it's all wrong!
