You are a predestined person [comprehensive]

The sky was gloomy, and the silent valley was shrouded in light mist, and some birds flew silently from low altitude.Natsume rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, and when he looked forward again, the mist had slowly dissipated, and what was hidden under the white mist was a forest of cherry blossoms in full bloom.

Natsume involuntarily wanted to walk over, but when he lifted his foot, he heard the woman's mournful cry. The cry was restrained and desperate, and his heart seemed to be clenched in an instant.Natsume stood on the spot, unable to move an inch, but the heavy sadness was conveyed to him along with the crying.

Natsume opened his eyes wide, trying to see the cherry blossom forest not far away. As he thought this way, the scene in the cherry blossom forest clearly appeared in front of his eyes.

At the end of the cherry blossom forest are two exquisite wooden houses. A woman in scarlet clothes sits and weeps under the cherry blossom tree in the courtyard. Not far outside stood a huge bluestone covered with cherry blossoms. Natsume saw a person sitting on the stone in a daze, but disappeared again in a blink of an eye.

The woman's crying gradually turned into silence. The pattering raindrops fell from the sky. Natsume opened her eyes incredulously. The raindrops were like burning flames. Wherever they went, all the cherry blossoms withered in an instant. It only took a short while. In the entire blooming cherry blossom forest, there are only bare cherry trees one after another, and the sparse trunks reveal a withered and dead air.

The woman under the flower tree stood up. She glanced at the dilapidated and withered cherry blossom forest, then turned around and walked away resolutely and desperately.Only the bluestone slab stood unchanged, as if watching the woman's back going further and further away.

When Natsume woke up, his head hurt slightly. This dream was not terrible, but it made him feel very uncomfortable.

During class, Natsume was lying on the table, looking a little listless.

During the recess, Nishimura patted him on the shoulder, "What's the matter Natsume? Didn't sleep well last night or did you feel unwell?"

Hearing the sound, Natsume sat up a little straighter, and forced a smile, "I slept a little late yesterday, it's okay." He turned his head to look at Nishimura and Kitamoto, "By the way, are the cherry blossoms blooming at this time?"

"For the cherry blossoms, it will take a while. They won't bloom until the weather gets warmer. Those trees in front of my house haven't moved yet." Kitamoto said thoughtfully.

"I see..." Natsume leaned back on the table again, facing out of the window, seriously thinking about whether there is such a withered cherry blossom forest nearby.

Seeing Natsume's lack of energy, Nishimura wanted to reach out to tease him again, but Kitamoto stopped his hand, "Let Natsume rest for a while."

"Hey, tired in spring, tired in autumn, hibernating in summer and weak in summer, Natsume is really getting lazy." Nishimura sat back in his seat and joked.

When school was over in the afternoon, Natsume did not go home with Nishimura Kitamoto on the pretext of helping Aunt Toko do some shopping. He took a detour to see Yukine and Yato.

Although he knew that Yato was a god, these two people always made him feel a little uneasy, especially Yukine.

After knowing that the artifact came from the dead, he felt sorry for Xueyin, who was obviously younger than him.

When they arrived at the shrine, they were surprised to find that Yato and Yukine were not there.

"Yato must have gone to help others fulfill their wishes again, what a hardworking god." Natsume smiled, and left a food box in her schoolbag at the entrance of the shrine, which contained cakes made by Aunt Toko.

Natsume looked at the sky, thinking about going back the same way.After walking a few steps, a cherry blossom suddenly fell on the hair on his forehead.Natsume raised his hand to take down the cherry blossoms, but before he touched them, the flowers were just like yesterday, and they floated up with the wind.Natsume knew clearly, this was to lead him somewhere.

He followed the direction of the flying cherry blossoms, passed through the woods, and walked along a rugged mountain road. Not long after, the cherry blossom forest shrouded in mist in the dream appeared in front of his eyes.

From a distance, Natsume saw a person standing beside the huge bluestone in the forest, so it turned out that he was right in his dream.

He walked over slowly, and saw clearly that it was a man, with long silver-white hair falling down, and half a mask covering his pale cheeks, giving people a very calm and peaceful feeling.If Natsume was a little worried at the beginning, after seeing him, he was only curious. In this monster, Natsume didn't feel the slightest danger.

Natsume looked at him and said politely, "You led me here, do you need any help?"

The monster seemed to be identifying something, and after a long pause, he asked, "Is it Reiko?"

Natsume smiled and shook her head, "Reiko is my grandmother, she has passed away a long time ago."

After listening to Natsume's words, the monster murmured: "Yes, she has been away for a long time in terms of human time." He lowered his head and asked softly, "Is there really no other way?"

"Is there anything I can do to help you? Last night's dream told me that there was a hostess in the Sakura Forest. You must have something to do with her." Natsume couldn't bear to see the monster's disappointed look.

The monster looked at him for a long time, as if considering how to speak, Natsume kept staring at him with a smile, without any impatience.

After a long time, I heard the monster say: "My name is Wushi, a monster born from this piece of bluestone. I can't leave this cherry blossom forest for too long, or I will disappear. My master is the one you saw in the dream. That woman, she has been away from here for a long time, I entrusted many monsters, tried many ways but failed to find her, and only recently heard a monster who was an old acquaintance with the master said that the master once lost a bet with Reiko and gave her name to her. Reiko."

When the monster said this, he looked at Natsume with eager eyes, "I know, Reiko has a book of friends, as long as the monster whose name is on it can be summoned."

Hearing this, Natsume fully understood his request, and nodded lightly, "After grandma passed away, the friend account is now in my hands, but..."

Before Natsume finished speaking, the monster had already held his hand excitedly. Wushi's hand was very cold, like a bluestone soaked in mountain spring water in summer, and Natsume was shocked the moment he held it.

"If possible, please, can you let me see her, I really, really miss her."

Natsume looked at his bright eyes under the white mask. Although he wanted to help him very much, he still finished the second half of the sentence seriously, "I can only summon monsters that I have seen and know their names. If it is Reiko, she will definitely be able to summon you." Help you recall your master, as for me...I can only promise that I will do my best to help you."

Hearing what Natsume said, Wushi calmed down a little eagerly and excitedly, but he was not disappointed. He had waited for too long, and after the great longing and repeated disappointment, all that was left was a long period of peace and harmony. wait.

Natsume understands his mood, and also understands the feeling of loneliness. The difference is that Wushi still has someone to wait for, while he once didn't even have a target to wait for.

Natsume thought about going back and asking Mr. Cat, maybe there is a way to find the owner of Sakura Forest. Before he could say goodbye, a dazzling white light suddenly cut over from a distance.

The moment he saw clearly that it was Yato, Natsume subconsciously stood in front of Kiriishi. Yato stopped slashing at the monster with the divine weapon, and drew a deep mark on the ground of the cherry blossom forest.

Ye Dou said, "Natsume! What are you doing?! Don't you know how dangerous it was just now?" He said and pulled Natsume behind him, looking at Wushi with disdain, "It's a demon again."

Hearing this, Natsume tugged on Yato's sleeves, as if he was afraid that he would have another attack, and said, "You change the snow sound back first." Looking at the vigilant Wuishi, he explained to Yato: "He didn't ask for it. Hurt me, he's just asking me to do him a favor."

"Yueyin." Although he was very upset, Yato put down the artifact according to Natsume's words.

Xueyin immediately grabbed Natsume's arm and looked left and right, "Are you all right, Natsume?"

"I'm really fine." Knowing that Yato and Yukine were concerned about her, Natsume smiled gratefully at them.He didn't want Yato to confront Wuishi again, so he quickly said to Wuishi not to say that he would come back another day, and dragged Yato, who was still upset, to forcefully drag him away.

On the way down the mountain, Natsume explained to Yato how he was led by Wushi to the cherry blossom forest and Wushi asked him for help.

Yato sighed, "I knew you had been here when I saw the food box, there was a faint demonic aura near the shrine, I thought you were being found by monsters again, so I chased after you with Yukine. So, are you going to find a way to find someone for that monster?"

"Yes, I want to help him."

Yato looked at the sky, "Natsume, I know you can see monsters, but can't you stay away from monsters? How many monsters are good? These things that grow out of darkness and filth outlast human life A long life brings not only great power, but also endless greed and desire to devour others. If you deal with monsters every day, aren’t you afraid of being cheated to death one day?”

From Yato's tone, Natsume heard his disdain and disgust for monsters. Natsume knew that Yato was a god, and also knew that what he did the most was to kill all the demons and monsters in the world with a magic weapon, and purify the filth.

And the so-called filth is a demon with evil thoughts.

Natsume doesn't want to correct Yato's thinking. He has indeed seen many kind-hearted monsters, whether it is Mr. Kitty, Sansiao, C, Little Fox, or even the middle class. They have all helped him and brought him happiness and good memories.But he has indeed seen many bad monsters, they cursed humans, devoured humans, used human evil thoughts and desires as nourishment for their own strength, and even killed each other among monsters.Without the protection of Mr. Cat, the account of friends in his hand might have been snatched away by monsters long ago.

Even the first time he met Yato was because he was chased by monsters.

Natsume sighed in his heart, he knew that what Yato said was right, even the cat teacher often taught him not to deal with monsters all the time, to meddle in their business, but after receiving warmth and favor, he felt the closeness and kindness of some friendly monsters. He really couldn't refuse the request, especially the monster who was once related to grandma.

Natsume didn't know how to answer Yato, so he could only apologize, "I will pay attention."

Thinking of Yato and Xueyin rushing to protect him, Natsume stroked Xueyin's hair and said gratefully: "Although there is no danger today, thank you, what Xueyin wants to eat, I will bring it to you tomorrow. "

Xueyin immediately became happy after hearing this, and was wondering whether to eat the mantou from last time or the taiyaki.

Yato put his hands behind his head, knowing that what he said to keep Natsume away from the monsters was in vain, he said angrily, "What's there to thank, didn't I promise to protect you?"

Natsume was taken aback, thinking of the wish he made when he threw a five-yuan coin at the god in the forest at night.

Please protect me, please.

The young god reached out to catch the coin, with firm and bright eyes under the moonlight.

Your wish will be accepted by me, Ye Fighting God.

Thinking of this, Natsume smiled silently, inexplicably, feeling very relieved.

The author has something to say: I also want to give Yato a five-yuan coin, asking him to accompany me and protect me every day, crying, forget it, let him protect the little angel Natsume well_(:з」∠)_
