[Comprehensive] Natsume Reiko's trip

Chapter 18 Snakes on the Street

Perhaps because Reiko is also a woman, Zhinu relaxed a bit: "Yes, the only thing I know and what I am best at is weaving."

"In this case, if you give up what you are best at for a stinky man, the loom in your house will cry."

Saying so, Reiko strode into the room, and swept the dust off the loom in the corner with her hands.

The loom is located by the window. Sitting here, you can weave the cloth while watching the blue sky outside and the chirping birds on the trees.Perhaps when Zhinu looks out of the window, she can't help but integrate this small corner of the scene into the cloth, and draw exquisite pictures on the cloth with her dexterous hands.

"You are not allowed to say that, Mr. Ono!" Once it involves her lover, no matter how weak a woman is, she will instinctively defend her.

"Why do you think we came here in the middle of the night? Your Master Ono invited us to get rid of the demon! Actually, you are also very clear, right? That man no longer wants you, so no matter how long you wait, there will be no results For a man who doesn't love me at all, is it meaningful to give up my pretty good life?"

"If it was me, I would make myself better, and then when we meet again, I will punch him hard."

"Uh... Master Seimei, if Master Reiko is allowed to continue talking, will nothing happen?" Seeing Reiko's generous speech, Xiaobai always felt that she would teach others badly.

"Let's take a look again." Ji Xun is not a powerful monster, you can seal it or get rid of it at any time, but this interesting scene in front of you, if you miss it once, there may not be a second time.

"No, Lord Ono won't do this..." Zhinu actually knew that Lord Ono didn't want her anymore, but she always deceived herself and kept telling herself: Maybe Lord Ono was just sick or something happened. Come on, only in this way can Zhinu get a little comfort.

"Then let me tell you, he just doesn't want you anymore, and he has a wife and children. He is afraid that you will turn into a monster to retaliate against him, so he specially invites an onmyoji to eliminate demons." Reiko told the truth mercilessly.

"No, no..." Zhinu moaned in her throat, she crouched on the ground with her head in her hands, her hair loose, and she kept whimpering.

Reiko also squatted on the ground with Zhinu, and her voice gradually softened: "I, like you, have been looking forward to having someone who can wholeheartedly tolerate everything about me regardless of my identity."

"I once swore that if there was a person who was so good to me, then I would do whatever that person asked me to do, but ah, there wasn't one. Since then, I've known that instead of Praying to God and longing to be saved is not as good as living for yourself recklessly, although some people's strange eyes will make you uncomfortable, but it is better than living in a dream. What do you think?"

"Besides, you still have friends who care about you, don't you? It risked being wiped out by the Onmyoji, and wanted to help you bring Xiao Ye back, just so that you could be happy, and weave beautiful brocades again later."

"Friend... person?" Zhinu raised her head slightly, looking at Reiko's gentle smiling face with reddish eyes.

"Yes!" Reiko pointed to the loom in the corner, "Not all monsters in this world are bad, there are also monsters born out of human's good wishes or to repay someone. You used to We all live together with that loom, right? Now, for a man, you neglect your partner who has been with you until now for a long time, even if it is a loom, it will be lonely!"

Reiko wiped away the tears for Zhinu with her hand: "Okay, cheer up! Your weaving skills are so good, even if you don't depend on a man, you can live on your own! If there is a chance, I would like to use the cloth you weave to make a A dress, it must be a very beautiful dress."

The weaver girl sat in front of the loom, stepped on the pedals with both feet, and arranged the slender silk threads in an orderly manner with the shuttle and bamboo slices. The sound of "creaking" seems to be that the loom is humming happily.

The sunlight shines on the fair face of the Weaver Girl from the window, and also reflects on the half-woven cloth, forming an extremely harmonious scene.

Zhinu recovered from the memory, stood up, walked to the side of the loom a little staggeringly, and put her hand on it hesitantly: "Is it... is it alive?"

Qingming stepped into the house, shaking a folding fan: "Everything has a soul, and so do looms."

Zhinu was still very afraid of Qingming who is an onmyoji, but she still gritted her teeth and stood in front of the loom: "Are you going to destroy it?"

"In order to prevent it from causing trouble to people at night, I will seal the monster on the loom, but this will only restrict the monster's actions. If you sit next to the loom and weave, the monster should be able to feel it." Said Here, Qingming paused, "Of course, if you feel uncomfortable, I can also take it away and seal it to another place."

As soon as Qingming finished speaking, the loom began to vibrate, as if to protest against Qingming's words.But the silk thread on the loom did not turn into a snake, perhaps because it was afraid that it would frighten its owner.

Even so, Zhinu was taken aback by the loom.

Reiko didn't persuade Zhinu anymore, whether to keep Ji Xun is a choice that only Zhinu is qualified to make.

Zhinu closed her eyes and remembered many things that she had gradually forgotten recently: the longing look in her eyes when she saw her mother sitting by the loom weaving; the scene of her crying on the loom after losing her parents; The scene of talking to myself...

Perhaps, without her realizing it, she had already regarded that loom as her family and friends, and as an indispensable part of her life.

It is precisely because of my own will that the loom has become a monster because of loneliness.

"I'm sorry..." I have been ignoring you because of a man.

Zhinu's tears fell on the loom drop by drop, and the silk threads on the loom were raised one by one, and then twisted into a ball, turned into a corner of the handkerchief, and gently wiped away the tears on Zhinu's face.

Zhinu grabbed the corner of the handkerchief and stuck it to her face, crying silently.

In the future, let us work together to weave beautiful brocades!

Amid Qingming's inaudible chanting, the loom fell silent again, but Zhinu knew that the monster named Jixun must be in the depths of the loom, silently guarding her.

On the way back and forth, Reiko kept showing a very happy smile.

"Very happy?" Seemingly infected by Reiko's mood, even Seimei felt relaxed.

"Well, to be honest, it's the first time I've talked so much with a human being." Even Reiko didn't know why after seeing the Weaver Girl, she had a feeling of hatred for iron and steel, unconsciously. He spoke out all the words in his heart.

"Also, this is the first time I have been thanked by a human being and received a gift."

Reiko smiled and touched the dark blue brocade on her lap. There were cherry blossoms falling on the brocade—this was specially given to Reiko by Vega in order to thank her.

So, really happy!It turns out that helping others is such a happy thing.

Even if she was disgusted and misunderstood by humans for her meddling behavior countless times before, as long as she can be thanked by others once, she will not regret it.

"Really..." Qingming muttered to himself.

Maybe the meaningless jobs he once thought were not as boring as he imagined, maybe in places he couldn't see, there were people who would be redeemed because of his work.

Looking at Reiko's smiling face, Seimei really thinks so at this moment.

Qingming became an onmyoji not because he wanted to be an onmyoji, but to become an onmyoji was his father's expectation for him, and it was his master's dying wish.

Since he was a child, he has a talent that is difficult for others to match, and he has a little bit of everything.But it is precisely because of this thoroughness that Qingming clearly sees the darkness hidden under the glamorous skin of human beings.

Is it really worth it to work for such a human being?

Even monsters are far cleaner than those dirty humans.

Occasionally, Seimei would have such thoughts.However, since he promised to become an onmyoji, he will keep doing it—becoming a bridge between yin and yang, serving humans and monsters.

But today, he may see the value of being an onmyoji. If humans and monsters can live together in harmony, what a wonderful world it would be.

However, his beautiful fantasy only lasted for one day, just one day.

On the second night after the Jixun incident ended, Reiko was already asleep, and Seimei walked under the cherry blossom tree in a blue safari suit, waiting for the boy's return.

"Master Qingming, I will send the supplies to Zhinu according to your order, but...there is no one there. It is said that after we left last night, a group of robbers broke in, and Zhinu...even the loom was destroyed. smashed to pieces."

Qingming tightly held the fan in his hand, even the joints were slightly white, and there was a sound of "click, click, click", but the expression on Qingming's face was still calm.

"Lord Qingming, are you alright?" I don't know if it was the virgin's illusion, but for a moment, Qingming's blue eyes suddenly turned black.

Seimei closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly.When his eyes opened again, the color of his pupils returned to the same as before: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

O human!

If all human beings are killed and a world ruled by monsters is established, will the world become cleaner?

No, he couldn't think that way.

Even if there are humans like Ono Sahei, there are humans like Natsume Reiko in the world, right?Whether it is human beings or monsters, there are good and evil, and they cannot be generalized.

But Sahei Ono... he'll remember.But it will take a while, and there is still some sensitivity at this point in time.

Onmyoji can kill, not just monsters!

The author has something to say:

PS: trembling, this is a necessary plot for Reiko’s determination to embark on the road and Seimei’s road of castration (crossing out) and division. Only after encountering setbacks can one become more mature, right?
