[Comprehensive Manga] Live with a smile

Friday, April 29th, still sunny.

Xi Ji sat on the beach with her feet in the water, looking at the ocean in her dream, lost in thought.

Heizi's confession last night was really too exciting. Xi Ji, who was confessed to by his friend for the first time in his life, blushed and his body temperature was frighteningly high.She didn't know what expression to make to face Heizi who was looking at her so seriously, and she couldn't even figure out why Heizi liked her, so she was at a loss for a while.

As a result, Xi Ji said that he had to think about it for a while.

Maybe this answer was already guessed by Heizi, he just stared at Xi Ji, his hair was blown by the night wind, as if he was a little different from usual.

Looking back now, she obviously didn't have any physical contact with Heizi at that time, but she could see him at that moment.

In fact, Xi Ji said that it was a big deal to think about it, because all the boys who confessed to her in Bingsheng were all rejected by her venomous tongue, and she didn't have any good male friends at that time.So she really didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing. Did something happen between her and Heizi that would make Heizi like her?There seems to be nothing?

Xi Ji tried hard to think back to the last time he rescued Heizi, but at that time Heizi was in a coma the whole time, shouldn't he know?Or is it because Xi Ji often grabs his hands?Can't it be that, a 14-year-old boy still has a crush on a girl because of physical contact?

Eh, no, 14 years old...

Thinking of this question, Xi Ji blushed again.

But Heizi was her friend, and after being confessed like this, Xi Ji also felt upset.The originally good friendship seemed to have changed, and now it seemed that there was no way to look directly at his face.But there is no need to worry about this problem, because she can't see Heizi in the first place.

Ahhhhhh, my head is a mess!Xi Ji looked back at the silly snake who was still on the bed looking at her innocently, and let out a long sigh.

So when will Muku come back, now is an important time to discuss the girl's thoughts!

The training this morning was to go down the mountain and run along the town road for an hour. The members all got up early, formed a long line, and gathered neatly in the open space in front of the hot spring hotel.

As the only idler in this camping trip, Xi Ji poked her head out from the door with thick dark circles under her eyes.

"Miss Xi Ji."

"Wow!"

Seijuro looked at the frightened Yuki suspiciously, his eyes stayed on her dark circles for a few seconds and then moved away, and asked, "What do you want to do today? I heard from the boss that the town is preparing for the sacrifice of the land god. If you are bored, you can go and have a look."

"Today..." I came with the basketball team yesterday afternoon, watched their training process boringly all the way, Xi Ji didn't know what to do now.

His eyes flicked around, and then he didn't know whether it was accidental or inevitable, Xi Ji's eyes bumped into Heizi who was also looking at him.

Then, Xi Ji's head exploded.

"Then why, Ah Zheng, I'll go to the mountains and buy some wild game for you to nourish your body. Okay, let's just say that, and I'll do it!" After saying these words with a flustered face, Xi Ji turned around directly, and with a run-up He easily climbed over the outer wall of the hot spring hotel and ran all the way towards the deep mountain inside, leaving Seijuro with his mouth twitching slightly and all the surprised people present.

Momoi, who was carrying a satchel and preparing the necessities, looked at the place where Xi Ji climbed the wall, and said in a daze, "Now I wonder if Xi Ji is a child from the mountains."

With that kind of strong physical ability and reckless energy, probably Xi Ji can only see that she is a rich lady when she calms down.

Heizi also looked in that direction, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xi Ji, who was running all the way in the mountains, didn't care about up, down, left, right, south, east, north, and north. In short, he escaped from Heizi first.Xi Ji, who was running wildly, ran from left to right in the forest, and got lost in the green in a short while.

It's not good to walk too fast. If you don't pay attention, you will find yourself running to other places.

Although I don't know where I am, let's go hunt some prey first, and continue to find the way later.After making a decision, Xi Ji rolled up his sleeves, took out his scary red scissors, and began to search for prey in the forest.

I don't know if it's good luck or bad luck.Dang Xiji was carrying a wild boar, two hares and a fox in his hands, seven or eight tits and two non-poisonous snakes hanging from a stick on his shoulders. When hunting people, she still couldn't leave the vast green, and even had to dismember a wild dog on the way to calm Red Scissors' irritable mood.

When she bumped into a wild boar against a tree again, Xi Ji now only considered that she had too many things on her back, so she simply peeled off the skin and threw it here.

She remembered the 'hunter' she said she was a hunter, a vampire hunter?Is it the hunter of non-human strange creatures with special blood?Why does she want to become a real forest hunter now!

He stopped the wild boar with an indignant face, and refreshed the weapons in the order of the red scissors. Xi Ji carried the red scissors, thinking that he would stop hunting next.To kill two wild boars in one breath in an ordinary mountain forest is already destroying the ecological balance.And the main reason is that she can carry it, but the floor area is too big, she can't drag the meat on the ground, right?

In other words, why not eat the wild boar on the spot?

However, Xi Ji is just a 'hunter', not Master Pei.She didn't know how to handle a wild boar empty-handed in the wild, and she couldn't eat it, and she couldn't feel the legendary 'six times protein'.

The burden on his body increased again, Xi Ji looked at Lao Gao's two wild boars stacked behind him, closed his eyes and pressed his forehead in pain.If it continues to increase, even activities in the forest will become a problem. Why hasn't she found the way back yet?Seeing that the time is almost noon, Seijuro will definitely be worried if he doesn't see her if he doesn't go back.

While worrying about the things at the hot spring hotel, Xi Ji walked around indiscriminately.She herself couldn't figure out whether the reason why she got lost was because she wanted to avoid Hei Zi, and now she wanted to go back but didn't want to go back, so entangled.

After making a big circle in the forest, Xi Ji finally saw the scenery beyond the forest.

It is an altar.

It seems to be a place for worship, and the god enshrined is a woman with humanoid snake hair that Xi Ji doesn't know.After all, Japan is a place with 800 million gods. It is not in vain to say that there are gods three feet above the head. Although the actual statistics are not so many, the ancient people regarded them as gods no matter whether they faced spirits or monsters. Worshiping, the person enshrined now may have been an all-powerful evil in the past, and was forcibly regarded as a god by others.

Putting this large pile of prey on the ground, Xi Ji sat down on the ground in one breath, finally able to take a rest.

When she put her hand on the ground, the uneven ground immediately caught her attention, "Hey, is there any lettering?"

The ground of the entire altar is made up of various long stone slabs, densely engraved with some plausible legends about this goddess.It seems that even the worshiping villagers don't know the name of this goddess, but because of her snake-like long hair and strange snake eyes, she is called the snake god.

After reading through these obscure ancient Japanese mixed with dialects, the simple meaning is that as long as you offer items to the snake god and make a sincere wish to the snake god, your wish will definitely come true.Of course, it’s just some small wishes, such as winning a small prize, catching more fish, not raining tomorrow, etc. It’s not so much the fulfillment of the wish, it’s better to say that the ancient people who were ignorant of superstition will accidentally come true. His luck was forcibly tied to the snake god.

Xi Ji remembered the sacrificial activities that Seijuro said before he left that there would be a sacrificial activity in the town at the foot of the mountain, and it should be this snake god.

In the past, it may have been a feudal superstition, but now it has become a cultural inheritance. Even if you pray, it is at most a prayer for a good weather and a good harvest in the coming year.

But wish come true...

Xi Ji remembered the two wishes he had wrongly fulfilled, and his expression became tangled.Ordinary people are not as lucky as her to realize both wishes at once, and ordinary people are not as unlucky as she was in a car accident just before they were fulfilled, and as a result, the two wishes went wrong together.Thinking of this question, Xi Ji's brain hurts. If possible, she still doesn't want that big wish. Without this daily wish, she wouldn't have to seek death every day and live in hell.

Thinking of the self who was frightened by Heizi yesterday and frightened the little deer, and almost forgot about looking for death, Xi Ji couldn't help but blush again.

If her wish can come true now, then she hopes to deal with Heizi's problem.She doesn't know how to answer Heizi at all, she still has a little bit of thought about Natsume, Mr. Shizuo, she still hasn't figured out whether it's a relationship or a pure friendship, and now her mentality is not very stable, it seems that she can't tell the difference Extra energy to deal with sunspots.And why Heizi likes her...ahhhhhhhhhhhh I can't think about it anymore, I feel like my face is going to burn!

In short, in short, she should handle these few things by herself, and she can't rely on such unreliable gods!

Does she have any wishes other than that?

"...I want a cat." Xi Ji stared blankly at the statue and said.

Afterwards, the black snake in Xi Ji's dream exploded completely, and began to crazily send all kinds of violent questioning messages to Xi Ji, just like a wife who was furious when her husband cheated, making Xi Ji suspicious of the pure black Did the snake follow Zhengjulang's little daughter-in-law to control his whereabouts after seeing too much, so he learned to be bad together.What kind of family drama is she watching? If she wants to watch a soap opera, she buys a pile of soap and puts it in the men's bathroom. Wouldn't it be enough to watch it all at once?

"I know you are of course the only one in my heart," Black Snake is the master of the body, and he is indeed the only one physically, "but I really want a furry cat that feels super comfortable to the touch Ah!" Xi Ji shouted unwillingly.

After all, the black snake is covered with scales, cold and slippery.As a little girl, Xi Ji would of course like cats, dogs and other furry cuties more!

Especially Natsume's cat teacher, who is fat and comfortable to the touch, I really want to lick the cat, okay!

blacksnake:……

Before hearing 'I don't care about you! After the cry, Xi Ji scratched the back of his head, thinking that if he apologized later, he would forgive himself again, so he didn't take it seriously.Then I suddenly realized that my idea was indeed a bit of a playful husband, and I felt like a scumbag.

"But anyway, this kind of sacrifice and wish fulfillment are fake, right? Anyway, it's impossible to really fulfill your wish." While talking, Xi Ji put the pile of prey next to him on the altar, clapped his hands and said : "These are my offerings, please fulfill my wish."

After finishing speaking, she looked up at the still stone statue of the snake god, shrugged her shoulders and said to the black snake, "It's all a lie... ah."

The altar glowed.

Before being completely enveloped by the light, Xi Ji twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking of his crow's mouth.

Sure enough, if you are idle and have nothing to do, don't set up any flags! !

"Huh... Mr. Cat, are you sure it's here?" Stepping on the last step, Natsume panted through the torii gate, and followed Mr. Cat into the shrine.

Because the festival is about to start, many workers and the shrine master are gathering in the open space of the shrine to discuss the details of the festival, and some vendors have already started to build a stage for the sacrifice, and various vendors are preparing shop props.The festival is an annual celebration in the town. It can be seen that everyone attaches great importance to it, and many local young people participated in it. They nodded and greeted Natsume when they saw him.

A little awkwardly nodded to the stranger, Natsume grabbed the cat teacher who was running wildly and ran to a small corner.

"Did I make a mistake? This is just an ordinary shrine? And how could there be a big monster hidden in the shrine past the torii?" He wiped the sweat from running all the way, this place is far from Hachihara Some distance away, I was taking a walk with nothing to do, and was pulled over by Mr. Cat, "Did you say it on purpose because you smelled that a festival will be held here? The festival here will not be held until tomorrow, and today is still in the preparation stage."

Mr. Cat smacked Natsume's face with his paw: "Idiot, am I the kind of monster who will be hooked by the smell of takoyaki?!"

Natsume said very firmly, "You are."

Thinking of the past when he participated in the celebration, Mr. Cat coughed twice and put aside the topic, "Anyway, there is really something troublesome here, not in this shrine, but in a place further inside."

more inside?Natsume looked up at the direction Mr. Cat was pointing at. It was behind the shrine, and there seemed to be an open space.

There happened to be a vendor building a shed nearby, and Natsume hurried forward and asked, "Hello, is there anything behind this shrine? I don't think there are any trees over there."

The middle-aged man put down the board in his hand and said with a smile: "Are you from that group of boarding students? You guys came at the right time. You must come over for the festival tomorrow. There have been no young people in this town for a long time. The backside of the shrine is actually an altar, and tomorrow afternoon after the witch dances the Kagura dance, the priest will take this year's offerings to pray to Lord Snake God for the success of the town in the coming year."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to a small path on the edge of the shrine and said, "You can go there to see it now, but not tomorrow. But remember not to get too close to the forest. In the past year or two, people have always said to look there If you see a wild boar or something, it's better to be careful."

After thanking the stall owner, Natsume hugged Mr. Kitty and walked along the path, surrounded by traces of trees and shrubs that had just been cut. After walking for about 10 minutes, the vision suddenly became clear.

As expected, there is an open-air altar inside. A wooden table with an incense burner is placed on a circle made of rectangular stones. In the middle is a stone statue of a snake-haired woman more than two meters high. , the face has been eroded by the wind and cannot be seen clearly after years of ups and downs, but it is obvious that the people in the town have taken good care of it.

"Hey, why does the smell seem to be weak?" Teacher Cat sniffed hard in the air, suddenly frowned, and looked at the altar.

Natsume took a closer look, only to notice a white kitten lying on the altar.He didn't know the type of cat, he could only tell from its fur that it was not an ordinary country cat.

As if hearing the sound of Natsume approaching, the kitten opened its eyes, and meowed timidly at Natsume in surprise.

Only then did he notice that a patch of hair on the forehead of this white kitten was light yellow, and the eyes were still a very rare light pink.

The cat teacher next to him was covered in fur. The canine fox played the role of the cat without any mistakes. He circled the white kitten left and right, sniffing and sniffing the air until he was sure. Some said in disbelief, "Natsume, this cat smells the same as that girl."

"Eh? Which one?" Natsume was surprised.

"It's the girl who stinks from corpses and stayed at home for one night last time." After Teacher Cat finished speaking, the little white cat nodded and meowed a few times as if confirming it.

Natsume:? ? ?

The author has something to say: Author: Seeing that I have fulfilled another wish of yours, are you happy!

Xi Ji: Do it! !

Last time I said that the Natsume Line is endless, and that the Natsume Line will drag other lines into the water. If you want to die, everyone will die together, and if you want to live, Natsume can still live.As the most important person (male) to Yuki, Natsume Line has this capital!

Heizi... think again.

Because itchy mouse newly opened Orochi Super Ghost King, this mamo powder exploded and broke the liver in situ, so it should be able to keep a change during the event.
