About the matter of Mrs. Chen's superstition in science

The boy had short crimson hair that was slightly curled at the end, and there was a large ugly burn scar on his exposed left forehead, but the gentleness between his eyebrows and eyes softened the ferocity.

In addition to the wooden box big enough to fit a small child, under the Ichimatsu patterned haori is the Japanese sword from just now.

Wakaca hesitated, wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a clear grunt before she opened her mouth. She blinked and looked at the boy's stomach.

The boy blushed and lowered his head in embarrassment.

Wakaca covered her mouth and smiled, "Do you want ramen?"

The young man walked over dully, and was startled when he saw the price. The money in the countryside is enough to eat a big meal. Thinking of the shriveled wallet, he couldn't help retreating, "Well, I'd better go eat something else..."

Ruo Cai saw his embarrassment, didn't say anything else, just pushed him away from the seat symbolically, "Auntie invites you to eat."

"How is this possible? I almost hurt you just now... Eh? Auntie?" The young man belatedly realized the address problem, subconsciously touched his face, wondering if he looked so small?

"My daughter is six years old, and I can't let go of a child like you." Wakana said to the owner of Yile Ramen, who is busy, "Boss, add another bowl of tonkotsu ramen and more char siew. It's troublesome."

"Hi Yo!" The boss raised his empty hand, indicating that he heard.

The young man sat down with a blushing face, moved his lips, and couldn't say "Auntie" to that immature face that looked as white as porcelain, so he could only bow his head and say, "Thank you."

The ramen was quickly cooked and brought over, and Boss Yile packed another serving of ramen.

The young man couldn't stand the aroma, so he grabbed his chopsticks and started to eat. After eating, he remembered that he hadn't introduced himself. He wiped his mouth and said solemnly, "Thank you very much. It's the first time I've been to such a prosperous place on the mountain, and I didn't expect the prices to be so scary."

Even after hearing such a poor speech, Wakana's face showed no abnormality, but showed a trace of concern, "My name is my wife Wakana, are you here alone? Do your parents know?"

When mentioning his parents, Tanjiro paused obviously, but quickly moved away. When he raised his head, he bumped into those purple eyes. They were not pure purple, but reddish with madder, with a gentle mist. It can make people's heart soften.

really……

Still very concerned about the smell of ghosts.

Can't let go.

"That...my wife-san." Tanjiro still couldn't call her auntie against his will, so he could only give her the next best thing and changed his name, "I don't have a place to live for now, can you take me in for a night?"

He was not good at making such presumptuous requests to people he met for the first time, his ears were red, and he wanted to find out if there was a ghost lurking around her, so he looked at her with firm eyes after speaking.

"What for one night, if you don't have a place to stay, you can stay for a while longer."

There are many guest rooms in the house, Wakaba doesn't mind, she is just curious about his contradictory expression, seeing his appearance obviously has something inside, but she will not pry into other people's privacy, maybe there is some difficulty, as long as she knows that he is not malicious up.

During the Taisho period, the old-fashioned Japanese houses were gradually replaced by luxurious foreign villas. Wakana’s house was so big that Tanjiro was shocked. He didn’t dare to touch the decoration and furnishings inside, and more importantly, it was too smelly.

It's really stinky, the smell of ghosts is everywhere, this kind of stench that is so thick that the nose hurts, how many people will have it, it's like a ghost's base camp.

Ruo Cai didn't realize it, and poured him a glass of water, "Mr. Zaomen, sit down as you please, I'm the only one in the house now, so don't be restrained."

Soothed to the bottom of his heart by her soft voice like the wind, Tanjiro's tense shoulders slowly loosened, but he was always vigilant, looking around the room pretending to be curious.The clock, fireplace, and sofa are all in a European style that he has never seen before. Even the drinking cups look very luxurious and expensive, as if they have entered a palace by mistake.

Wandering around did not find anything special, and finally his eyes fell on the huge portrait hanging on the wall.

There are three people in the painting, a man, a woman and a girl. The young woman on the right is Wakana. He has never seen the other two, but just looking at her bust, the painting is really good, as if in look in the mirror.

Thinking of this, Tanjiro couldn't help sighing.

Wakaca laughed and said, "That's not a painting, it's a photo. The photo shows my husband and my daughter Gabaiko. Isn't it cute? I just turned six years old this year."

Wakaca's husband was in a suit and leather shoes, perhaps because of the black and white, but his complexion was not very good, and his smile was a little weak.Gabako smiled brightly. Tanjirou still likes children very much, but I don't know if it's his illusion, or the preconceived influence of the smell of the ghosts around him. I always feel that there is something wrong with this photo.

Oni can't live under the sun, the sun has risen now, Tanjiro is convinced of the judgment just now, my wife-san is human, so the smell on her body must be from the people around her.With such a strong volume, they must spend a lot of time together, and this weird villa is likely to be people who often come and go here.

"My wife-san, didn't you pack the ramen and eat it yourself?" Tanjiro could only pretend to ask casually if he directly explained the purpose of coming here and might be regarded as a suspicious person.

Wakaca looked at the ramen in a daze for a while, and frowned strangely, "This is breakfast for my husband. It's really strange. I usually go home early."

"Go home?" Isn't it going out but coming back?

"Well, the company Yueyan works in is very busy. It works in two shifts, twelve hours each. Recently, it seems to be developing drugs related to antibiotics. It's even busier. I don't know the specific situation."

Tanjiro digested the information revealed in this sentence. Although he still had doubts, he could almost rule out the possibility that this person named "Tsukihiko" was a ghost.

As far as the stench he smelled is definitely a very vicious and cruel ghost, it is impossible to integrate into the human social environment and live in peace, and I have never heard that ghosts can have children with humans, so are they servants or something? ?But what is it for?Is there any special purpose for pretending that humans are mixed here to work?

"Master Stove Gate? Lord Stove Gate?"

Tanjiro was too engrossed in his thoughts for a moment, Wakana called out several times before returning to his senses, "Ah? Well, my wife-san, what's wrong?"

Wakaca pointed to the suitcase behind him, "Such a lot of luggage must be heavy, right? I'll take you to the guest room on the second floor, which is cleaned regularly, so you can stay directly."

No matter what the reason is, Tanjiro still feels sorry for bothering a person who was so kind to him when he first met him, and said embarrassedly, "Thank you very much, I will pay attention not to disturb you, as long as I find a place to stay I will move out, and I will find a way to pay back the accommodation money and the ramen money just now!"

He spoke very seriously, and Wakaca burst out laughing, "It's okay, you don't have to pay it back, as you can see, my family is not short of money, and I didn't take you in for any kind of thank you. Isn't it human nature to help?"

No, it's not like that, although there are many good people, there are still evil parts in this society.

Tanjiro didn't explain what he said. My wife, San, has never been exposed to darkness, so it's better to live an optimistic and active life like this.
