[Comprehensive] Onmyoji raised by Cuckoo bird

When stepping into this land, what unfolded in front of Shi Yu was a pitch black scorched earth hell.There are two rows of dead trees beside the road, and the ungrown seedlings in the field are wilting on the ground, completely unable to see the beauty of the golden wheat waves blown by the wind.

"What a tragedy." The people around were talking about it. Two days after the crisis dissipated, there were still so many people gathered around the accident site. It was either novelty or resentment. It's almost gone.

The arrival of Shiyu is like a drop of water flowing into the ocean, quietly blending into the crowd.

She silently watched the dead body of a spider that was shunned by everyone, and the whispers of the crowd could be heard in her ears.The little creature's remnant body was mostly well preserved, and the eight black single eyes seemed to still have some vitality left, quietly staring at Shi Yu.

"According to the people above, the spiders this time are poisonous! The polluted fields can no longer support rice, and it is useless to plant them again, and the harvest of the entire Miyama Town may drop this year!"

"It's evil! How could this kind of poison suddenly appear!"

"...Is it because of the disrespectful act of last year's Harvest Festival? It must be the Fengyue God's sin!"

"It looks more like a monster! Didn't there be a man who claimed to be an exorcist wandering around the village a few days ago? Maybe he really found some monster!"

"Damn foreigner! You may have provoked some terrible monster, but let us, Meishan, suffer!"

As we talked, the topic gradually evolved into criticizing and blaming outsiders.

Shi Yu wiped off the cold sweat amidst the people's more and more devoted accusations, swallowed the original question back to his stomach, and retreated silently.

She thought about it, and decided to wait for the people here to calm down before looking for opportunities to ask. Recalling some details she heard just now, she walked slowly along the dirt road, and her figure gradually disappeared under the cover of trees.

During this process, occasionally someone inadvertently looked up in that direction, but no one noticed the girl's back that was drifting away.

In the context of gradual industrialization, it is rare for this place to retain the rustic old Japanese country flavor.After Shi Yu walked a short distance, a dozen or so sturdy and tall thatched huts came into view.The decor is quaint with a little flavor.

The road has become wider, and except for the houses, there are low-lying fields. The black and gray soil and the lush crops complement each other, showing a burst of vitality and loveliness.Compared with the withered and depressive scene I saw just now, it was a world of difference. Shigure's original solemn mood eased a little under such a comfortable situation.

At this moment, a tall and thin boy walked up to him.

He has short light flaxen hair, fair skin, and a delicate face. Wearing a white shirt and black slacks, he looks like an ordinary male high school student.The only thing that was out of the ordinary was that there was a fat beckoning cat lying on the boy's shoulder.

The two walked facing each other, and the boy's eyes of the same color as his hair looked towards him naturally, without any special meaning, but because of the color of his eyes, it gave people an inexplicably gentle feeling.

When the figures intersected, Shi Yu nodded at him, and the young man nodded to her politely, and the two of them just passed away without saying a word.

"There is a man who claims to be an exorcist wandering around" Shi Yu's mind echoed these words, after a moment of recollection, he didn't feel that the boy just now was an exorcist, and quickly forgot the accident just now .

Behind her, after a few steps, the boy stopped suddenly and couldn't help but look back.

In his eyes, the figure of the girl just now, together with a series of monsters following her, seemed to be shrouded in mist, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Natsume!" The cat on the shoulder suddenly said, with an unfriendly tone, "You idiot, stop meddling in your own business again!"

"Haha, I'm sorry." The young man smiled, turned his face sideways, his amber eyes looked at the big face next to his cheeks, and comforted him as usual, "I can't help but I'm a little concerned. Mr. Cat, the leader Is your girl human?"

"That, who knows." Lucky Cat replied casually, and then, a paw unceremoniously slapped Natsume's face, "Compared to this, go back soon! Tazi must be waiting for you! Lunch ! I want lunch!"

Natsume smiled wryly, and returned to their temporary residence amidst the cat's repeated urging.

That was the home of Aunt Tazi's best friend.This time Natsume was accompanying Aunt Tako to visit friends.

Sure enough, they had prepared lunch and were waiting for him to come back.

While eating lunch, Natsume heard again the frenzy of the spider siege that happened the day before yesterday.

Since Natsume came here yesterday, he has been bombarded by this matter in his ears. Hearing the hostess of this house bring up the old story again, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

But as he listened, his eyes became a little dignified.

"I heard that those spiders first came from the maple leaf forest in the back mountain. A long time ago, there was a story in Mishan Town. There was a terrifying girl spider sealed in the dry well in the center of the maple leaf forest..."

"It is said that men who approach there will be sucked away without knowing it, and they will end up in a miserable end. If you are okay, Natsume, don't go there..." After the hostess finished telling the story, she also told Natsume with concern. road.

"So, what if it's a woman near there?" Natsume pursed her lips and asked suddenly.

"Eh?" The hostess was stunned for a moment, and her expression suddenly became a little secretive, "This... women, very few women will approach there, but once they go in, no one can come out alive..."

The uneasiness in the boy's heart climbed to the extreme, remembering the girl's polite nod when he passed by before, he couldn't help frowning.

"Speaking of which, that forest does have a strong resentment and evil spirit..."

The well-fed Lucky Cat patted its belly contentedly and lay on his lap. Seeing his restless appearance, he deliberately added embellishments.

Natsume stood up abruptly.

"I'm stuffed!"

He quickly said something to Aunt Tazi, and then ran out with a lucky cat in his hand.

"Hey! It's time for a nap after eating! I won't forgive you if you don't buy me Nanatsujiya's steamed buns this time!"

The voice of the beckoning cat dissipated intermittently in the wind.
