When I woke up again, I noticed an unexpected and unexpected... demon.

The half-bright and half-dark light reflected on my eyelids, and the dim pink in my vision told me that it was already daytime.

The familiar aura lingers and hovers close at hand, so strong that it is impossible to ignore it.I don't know if it's a good thing, after three years of getting along, this existence is more sensitive to my perception but I'm used to it.I can detect his general direction from countless places, but I will not deliberately wake up from my sleep because of the instinctive shock and vigilance.

[... Naraku. ]

My eyelids are as heavy as iron sheets, I move my mouth habitually, and my consciousness is still floating in a trance on the boundary between waking and dreaming.Then I heard a chuckle from above, and a slight rubbing sound of clothes...

"...!"

I woke up!

The body twisted subconsciously because of the sudden pain.I opened my eyes at the same time, but my field of vision was covered with a dark blue cloth.

Being hugged and hugged by the other party, to be precise, the upper body was lying on his lap.Maintaining this awkward and strange posture, I heard his voice, the warm breath exhaled close to my ears, still smiling slightly:

"I did this to wake you up. If you open the wound instead, the loss outweighs the gain."

I @#¥%...&*!

This innocent line, this calm tone, just like the person who pressed, passed, me, hurt, and mouthed just now (trying to figure out how hard it is), no, yes, he is the same ヾ(?`Д′?)! ! !

As the saying goes, everything is always a double-edged sword.

For example, a few hours ago, I was still secretly glad that I didn't have to waste my words.Now, a few hours later, I stare at him, only regretting that I don't have a sharp tongue.

——Version 1.0 "Killing You with Eyes" urgently needs to be upgraded, but the program administrator ruthlessly informed: Version 2.0 "Drowning You with Tucao" lacks the necessary software for upgrading, please install it through the disk hardware first and then restart.

"Leng, you're awake... huh?!"

The tone at the end was raised, and I used my right hand to push away Naraku's obstructive sleeve, a little surprised, a little embarrassed, and a little wanting to avoid Kami Hideko.

Then the sleeves flashed past my eyes again, and Naraku put me back on the couch in the same way.Then she stood up and walked towards Xiuzi: "I'll trouble you to take care of her before, there should be a lot of work for you outside, so I'll do it now."

Xiuzi hesitated for a moment, guessing that what Naraku said was right, she finally nodded: "There is no trouble, Ryo is the benefactor of our family... If it weren't for her, our family--" she said He paused here, and shook his head after a while, as if he wanted to shake off some ominous imaginations: "So, lunch is being cooked, and it will be ready later—"

"It's fine for her and I to eat here, and we'll leave after dinner."

The two exchanged some polite words, Xiuzi put down her things, opened the door and went out.

"Apply medicine first, then change clothes."

Naraku came over with something, and there were clean clothes, bandaged cloth and medicine in the tub.Naraku directly threw the small medicine box aside, took out another bottle from her arms, unscrewed the cap and handed it over.

Keeping the bottle close at hand, I loosened my shirt.This is Hideko's clothes, but luckily it's cross-collared. I took the left collar down to below my shoulders and looked up.

Naraku didn't ask anything, just reached out and helped me untie the bandaged cloth last night.

Applying a bandage, in this small room, quietly repeating yesterday's steps.

The sunlight outside the house passes through the yellowish window paper, casting thin shadows.I put on the new clothes I bought, and stood up from the couch: [Leave? ]

"gone."

Newly bought clothes always have an overly flat texture, simple kimonos, and half buns.The apricot red dress has a kind of freshness that belongs to spring. I looked at the shimmering shadow reflected in the pond. It was too white due to blood loss before, so it was a little more gorgeous.

Holding a newly made peace talisman in his hand, Xiuzi said that it was specially requested by the temple and given to relevant people because of the sudden disaster.

"Are you going to keep holding it?"

The tone of someone next to him was sarcasm. Even if there was a gap in ability, this talisman was produced in a place that specializes in defeating monsters.Just like the way he stared at the things in my hand, like a normal person staring at a pile of [beep——]

Looking at it with such eyes, even if it is a finely crafted gold ornament in his hand, it is difficult to give birth to the feeling of appreciation at the moment.

To be honest, this guy's temperament is so weird that sometimes I feel that I am dealing with a kid who lacked love in childhood, rather than an old monster who is almost 50 years old.

The gap in outlook on life, world outlook, values, and species outlook, as well as the same stubbornness to a certain extent, let us start from many details, and then walk into a dead end that cannot be compromised.

[Where to go next?Or do you want to go shopping with me? ]

I heard from those monks yesterday that because of this sudden disaster, the original gathering could not be held as scheduled-many merchants who were reluctant to leave the city and returned to their hometowns this morning, and the eight places that were attacked-and two more households appeared later-were also involved Many people went in.In the end, only some goods were inconvenient to relocate, or those who were unwilling to return empty-handed this time, as well as some local merchants, were still willing to trade.

But in doing so, the size of the rally was cut by almost half.After discussing with his retainers, the lord of Honma Castle decided to change the large gathering originally scheduled for ten days to a small one for three days.

The previous agreement with Naraku was to return to Renjian City in a month.But now that he suddenly appeared, I don't know if he changed his plan again.

Anyway, he has always made arrangements according to his wishes, and he has broken the contract midway and changed more than once.Even if he told me now that what happened last night was actually arranged by him, I wouldn't be so surprised.

But judging by his attitude, this assumption should not be true.

"Do you want to go to the market?" He looked at the entrance of the street not far away, which was the end of the market that had been set up.It's just past time now, and it's the bustling time there.The bustling merchants and customers, yelling, arguing and talking, seem to be three points higher than usual.

I saw his undisguised dislike, and then turned to look at me: "Let's go."

The expression was completely opposite to the words, and I froze for a while, unable to react.

My right hand was pulled over by someone. Due to the effect of inertia, I stumbled slightly, and I quickly followed after regaining my senses.

I don't know if it's an accident or not, although Naraku is not very familiar with this kind of place, but she doesn't show the slightest feeling of strangeness or discomfort.I followed him forward, and vaguely remembered that he had briefly mentioned during the small talk that before he became a powerful demon, he had done everything I could think of.

…presumably, except for pregnancy.

Although I haven't been sure yet, after I mentioned this example, what is the meaning of his weird face for a moment.

Shopping is a kind of leisure activity, from ancient times to the present, from east to west to north and south, there are two things in common: fighting for gold and working hard.

Today is a slightly dull sunny day, and the long streets and alleys are piled up with various objects so that there is no end in sight.The merchants' shops are wide open, and there are various stalls selling all kinds of gadgets on both sides of a certain distance.

I netted a goldfish and finally put it back, and then I bit the candied haws and looked at the peddler who was blowing the candy man on the other side.The customs and specialties introduced to Japan from China are epitomized in this small market.

Naraku has been following me, although he basically does not speak, and always looks at everything around him with disgusted eyes.

After eating the candied haws, I took the sugar man who had been trimmed with scissors.Because of the edible nature, I didn't ask to make any humanoid creatures, and finally chose the more common rabbit shape.

Various shapes of wagashi are lined up on the stand, and on the other side is sushi decorated with fresh fruits.I struggled for a moment, and finally turned around, [Yin knife? ]

The man behind me seemed to be paying attention to something, and looked over as I turned around.I waved the hand holding the sugar figurine, [buy something here, let's go. ]

His expression didn't change: "So?"

At this moment, his eyes are black, and when there is no special emotional ups and downs, they are always dark, rich and dull.I somehow felt guilty, and coughed lightly: [So, can you carry the package for me later? ]

Normally, I can hold things in my left hand and sugar figures in my right.But now my left arm is seriously injured, even if Naraku's entire arm can grow back after being cut off, I am a person who needs a long rest.

"..."

In fact, before today, I could never have imagined that Naraku would follow me around the market all afternoon.Some people say that pushing an inch is a kind of inertia, maybe it has some truth.

Anyway, I'm at peace now.An instinctive premonition told me that Naraku was in a good mood today and would agree to my request.

It's like the many premonitions I've had together over the years, although it seems complicated to say it.But in the final analysis, it is just an understanding of a person's personality and habits, and thus a tacit understanding.

Although this is me three years ago, as far as this object is concerned, it is an unimaginable existence.

"Master Liang?"

An adult man's voice sounded familiar behind him.I turned my head to look over, and it was the monk named Fazhao that I had seen before.

I quickly put my hands together and saluted the other party.

He returned the gift and nodded to me with a smile: "Thanks to the benefactor for what happened yesterday, the benefactor is now..." He looked at Na Luo beside me, "Is this your family?"

I nodded. In a superficial sense, the term "family" is not inappropriate.

"I am Liang's husband, thanks to you for taking care of her yesterday."

Naraku's gentle smile as always, in fact, in a sense, this is also part of his character.It has nothing to do with true or false, at most it can only be divided into internal and external.After all, there is no difference between demons and humans in this respect, both have their own complexity and multi-faceted.

I turned around and continued to choose the taste and type I liked, all when the other party had agreed to the previous request.Listening to the voices of their conversation, it tends to a theme more and more.

"Cool," watching the shopkeeper packing things, it was Naraku's hand stretched out from behind, gently holding my shoulder, expressing intimacy calmly:

"Master invited us to Dongchan Temple, it's really an accident, what do you think?"

I looked at his eyes, under the black mist, a layer of dark red gradually emerged.

What else could it be?

I nodded: [OK. ]

The author has something to say: I talked to my friend today about the relationship between two people (is there really a ==) relationship, and the friend said that one is dead, and the other is aggrieved ==

... What should I do? What she said was so reasonable that I was speechless.

This chapter was so stuck that I was crying... It was almost dozens of words and dozens of words, and then I finally wrote it.
