Why aren't people raising me

【Nada Spider Mountain】

Yazhi stood on the branch, looking at the road away from the mountain in the dark.

He lifted up the robes on his legs and feet, and sat down while leaning on the tree trunk.

"Masaji, what are you doing up there, it's very dangerous, come down quickly."

Below is the worrying voice of my sister, Masaharu grasped the rough bark under his hand, and responded loudly, "It's okay! I'm just looking at the scenery, I didn't move around!"

"That can't stay on it anymore. You'll get sick."

Masaharu looked down and saw his sister opened her hand to him, "Come on, come down quickly, I'll follow you." She tried to put her tone as gentle as possible, "Mom made sushi for you, and I'm waiting for you."

Ah, sushi.

The rice is always too sour and hard to bite, it takes a long time to chew to swallow.

But after all, it was made by mother with all her heart, so he will eat it clean.

Masaharu grinned at the white-haired girl and said, "Sister, pull me down, I haven't jumped into my sister's arms for a long time."

"Really, I'm still acting like a baby when I'm too old." The elder sister said dryly with a slightly stiff expression. She raised her hand, and a bunch of silk threads gushed out of her palm, wrapping around Yazhi's waist precisely. She carefully controlled the strength and pulled the child down. into my arms.

Yazhi put his arms around her neck, just about to continue to say something, when he raised his eyes and saw a silent figure standing behind her.

Masaharu immediately smiled even brighter.

He broke away from his sister's embrace, excitedly ran to the boy who was watching him quietly, and called skillfully, "Brother!"

Then hugged his waist with great trust, and buried his face in his chest, "You are finally back, I miss you so much."

The boy who looked a few years older than Yazhi put his arms around his back, with a look of satisfaction on his face, "I'm back, Yazhi."

He glanced coldly at his sister, who immediately stood up awkwardly, "Welcome back, tired."

***

A ghost, transformed from a human, lives by eating humans, and is a monster that is afraid of the sun.

The twelve ghost moons are the most powerful ghosts except the ghost king, and they are divided into upper strings and lower strings.

ghost house.

It is made up of ghosts who have no blood relationship, but were forced to change their appearance by the last five to pretend to be family members.

The weak ghost was chased by the ghost-slaying man to the point of nowhere, so he obtained Xia Xianwu's assistance through a transaction. He thought playing the role of family member was just a light-hearted joke, but he was surprised that it was sending him into another abyss.

If you don't maintain your appearance, you will be punished. If you make a mistake in acting as a family member, you will be cut to pieces.

Brothers and sisters change at any time, and parents may also be different ghosts.

In such a distorted relationship, there is a genuine human being.

To a ghost, it is just a small species of food, but they really want to treat him as a brother and child.

Masaharu has memories of being a baby.

That doesn't quite fit, he even has a vague memory of the lullaby his mother sang while he was a fetus, but this trait was unknown at first, and his parents thought he was just a normal...weird kid.

With white hair, white skin, and light red eyes, there is not a speck of black in his whole body, and his whole body seems to radiate the light of the moon at night.

"This, what is this?!"

His parents observed Masaharu for a long time with horror, and reluctantly kept him by their side.

"Did we suffer retribution, because we disregarded the opposition of our family and forcibly stayed together..." The mother didn't want to see the child for a moment, and couldn't help feeling that it was caused by herself, "Such an ugly guy... can't live at all of."

The father also couldn't feel love for Yazhi. He asked all over the hospital, and said sadly, "It's albinism. Such a child will not live long, and it is very likely to be mentally retarded. You see, since he was born, he has been crying like a normal baby." ?"

So one night, his father left him at the bottom of the spider mountain in that field.

Masaharu realizes he has been left behind.

Even though he didn't understand all the languages, he could see his father's eyes clearly.

On the Natian Spider Mountain where no one passed by, only in the cold night where wolves were infested, Masaharu knew that if he didn't do something, he would die here.

He howled with all his might, trying to get his father to change his mind, and to be taken away before the wolves found him or starved to death.

Then he was picked up.

It can't be called a hug, Yazhi was lifted up by holding the swaddling baby with one hand, and the man held him up in front of him, staring at him with ruthless eyes without any pity.

A cold, prey-like chill.

Masaharu immediately stopped crying.

"Tired, it's an abandoned baby." A female voice came from beside the man, "But it looks a little strange, no wonder it was thrown away. The baby's flesh and blood are fresh and tender. Although there is little flesh, it is quite rare."

What did you discover about yourself?

Masaharu opened his eyes fearlessly, looking directly at the humanoid creature in front of him.

Pale skin, gray hair, at first glance...

"He really looks like my family."

Said the ghost whose body remained in childhood.

"In general family relationships, there will always be a new life." Tired's decision is always rash, but no one dares to refute, "This child is the younger brother. Mom wants him to live, and Dad is responsible for protecting us, and we are the younger brother." His older brothers and sisters also need to take care of him everywhere."

In this play house, I was tired and couldn't find what my heart longed for.

He changed the posture of holding Masaji into an awkward embrace, and the drooping green glasses were extremely cold, but there was a glimmer of hope.

Humans may have emotions that ghosts lack, and raising a pure white human can get a real family.

***

Yazhi’s babyhood was not difficult. He ate and drank Lazard at a fixed time every day. The food was wolf’s milk. Masaharu sticks to its belly.

That period of time was very boring, tired and impatient with him, and occasionally poked his face when the mood came, but the first few times he couldn't control his strength and hurt Masaji,

"It's so fragile."

The Ghost of the Lower String commented arrogantly.

Family members have to take turns to accompany Yazhi every day, and don’t let him cry, because crying means sadness and negligence in the family. Crying will make tired and irritable, but tired will not put the blame on the baby who doesn’t know anything, it will only punish Irresponsible siblings and parents.

"It's your duty to take care of your brother, he's crying now."

The silver thread chopped the brother who was holding Masaharu to pieces. Masaharu watched this scene and forgot to breathe.

His face was bruised, but fortunately, his sister found out in time and patted his back to give him relief.

"Tired, Yazhi might be scared when he sees this." Mom took Yazhi from her sister's arms, trembling.

"Afraid?" Tired seemed to smile, but it was not a kind smile. "Sooner or later, he will get used to it. The family should tolerate each other. If he wants to live, he must listen to me."

The ghost of the lower string raised his almost emotionless eyes, "Listen, in front of Masaharu, all of us are 'blood-linked' relatives, because we have become ghosts one after another because of the favor of that adult, and Masaharu also Will become a ghost one day. This is the origin of our family, and we must not reveal a single flaw."

He wants to give Yazhi a false appearance of truth, a lie that can fool him all his life.

Why didn't he meet family members who were willing to sacrifice their lives for him?

Tired of thinking about this question often,

Because the current family members are all pieced together, without the same blood, and without the cognition of perfusion from scratch,

Tired eyes fell on Yazhi,

"This child will only know that I am his biological brother, and whether you can become his biological parents and siblings forever depends on your performance."

This is a bond that is maintained through fear. In his opinion, although this bond is empty for some reason, it is strong enough.

The moment when Tired really changed his mind about Masaharu, Masaharu took the initiative to reach out and hold his finger.

Tired only felt that his hands were wrapped in skin as soft as feathers, followed by a strange temperature that did not belong to him.

His eyelashes trembled, and his whole body froze in disbelief.

"Tired, what's the matter?"

"Sister, he seems to be different."

"Human babies just grow faster, and they look different every day."

"No... his soul is different."

My sister made a dumb voice, feeling tired and having convulsions for some reason.

In fact, it's just that the baby is getting more sensible and knows how to get close to familiar people.

The first time Masaharu spoke, he called him "brother".

But it wasn't Chonglei, but a ghost with a spider body and a human head.His face is like a boy of about 15 years old, but he has no human limbs, and his appearance is so terrifying that it can scare people to death.

Judging by the ranking in the family, Yazhi should call him big brother,

After the eldest brother found out that the first call was to himself, he was terrified for a long time, "Tired, I didn't teach him, he learned it by himself."

Tired was as angry as he expected, but the point of anger was different from what the elder brother had imagined, "It's okay, we are family, it doesn't matter if he calls anyone first." He chopped off the elder brother's head far away, with a sharp and merciless strike , "Don't show such a shrinking expression to me, family members shouldn't fear and resent each other. Next time, you won't be so lucky."

"Yes, yes, I remember."

Yazhi was picked up tiredly, he struggled a little because of his uncomfortable posture, raised his head to meet the sight that Kagami couldn't ignore,

Tired asked softly, "How can I make him call me?"

The elder sister who has some experience forced a smile and said, "My brother made a cradle for Masaharu, and he often appears in front of Masaharu, so Masaharu should be the closest to him."

Tired to imitate, "For the next few days, let Yazhi follow me."

But for Masaharu, Lei actually doesn't know anything about it.

His appearance stayed around ten years old, which also means that he became a ghost at such a young age. He didn't have time to learn to take care of others, and he didn't have time to understand the principles of the world. Even if he lived for hundreds of years, he just lived in the mountains without any progress , he just retained his obsession as a human being after becoming a ghost, longing for family members, and wanting to receive selfless and dedicated love.

Take Yazhi to his house, and let him crawl around the room like exploring a new map.

His eyes were indifferent and empty, but he was puzzled by Yazhi—what kind of creature is this?

Can't speak, seems to have no thought, weak and pitiful, how can I become a real family member.

After climbing around, Masaharu returned to Tired's side.

Tired sat kneeling upright, just turning his eyes to look at him.

Yazhi just got into his arms naturally, then curled up in a ball and closed his eyes with peace of mind.

Tired, I suddenly understood what the so-called contact without any grudges is.

***

When Masaharu was almost two years old, he had a clear consciousness.

His memory became clear and his speech became fluent. The atmosphere in the ghost family was always depressing and silent. Everyone didn't dare to speak too much when they were tired in the presence. They were afraid of saying something wrong, but they would chat in private. They were patient. Teach Masaharu the language of his own nature, and Masaharu simply learns it quickly.

Yaji is a talker.

He likes to express his thoughts and win the attention of others, but he can't hurt others, but he can also be treated with tenderness from his parents, brothers and sisters.

Of course, they just don't fear Yazhi as much as they are afraid of tiredness. In their eyes, Yazhi is like a reserve grain waiting to be slaughtered, a poor worm who has been deceived by ghosts,

"This child will never be able to return to the human world." The two sisters once whispered, "He doesn't understand anything. If he knows the truth, he will probably collapse."

Before they chatted a few words, Yazhi poked his head out from the sliding door, "Sister! It's time for us to clean—"

Cleaning up.

Events that appeared because of Masaharu.

The ghost's house is very dilapidated, even the windows are not intact. Such an environment is not suitable for human survival. At that time, a few human carpenters were tied up to repair the house.

He promised, "If I am satisfied with the results of your work, I will let you go."

And the bottom five is a person who talks about promises.

At least those young people who were captured because of Yazhi returned home intact.

Masaharu's life before the age of eight was a daily repetition.

The older brother makes cradles with larger and larger sizes with spider thread, the older sister sews all kinds of clothes, and the mother learns how to make human food. The father looks scary and his IQ is not too high, but because his role is the father, everyone He will not disobey him, his daily fixed task is to toss Machi, like a normal father and son playing around.

Their home is full of popularity in Yaji.

The world of Masaharu is a wooden house, and Nada Spider Mountain.

And the casual eyes of the family members.

I am different.

Yazhi clearly realized that,

These ghosts used the most clumsy acting skills. When I was an ignorant and innocent child, the so-called taking care of me was just satisfying tired demands.

There also seemed to be touching moments, but these were nothing compared to the threats to life.

This family is held together by fear, there is no loyalty at all, and there is no separation.

But at least...

"Jaji."

A tender voice called from behind,

Masaharu turned his head and ran towards the person with a surprised expression on his face, "Brother! What can you do for me?"

He hugged the ghost's body, and a faint smell of blood filled his nostrils.

"I stayed in the house well today, and I didn't go out to shine in the sun."

Being unable to face the sun is what makes the ghosts happy. His eyes cannot look directly at the bright light. After running in the sun for a while, his skin will show sunburned spots.

This makes Tired feel that they are more like family,

"It's just destiny."

Tired looked down at him, "Someone is here to disturb us, you stay indoors and don't move."

He looked at the ghosts who consciously stood in front of him, and said in a cold voice, "Mom, dad, brother and sister, in order to protect this family, it's time for you to take up your responsibilities."

The younger brother who was smaller than Yazhi came over and held his hand, "Brother, we are waiting for you here."

But what they never expected was that when they ended this simple battle, they found that Masaharu, who was supposed to be waiting in the house like before, had disappeared.
