[Onmyoji] Don't rely on your face to eat

The little paper figurine floats lightly, swinging in the water, and the cool wind blows head-on...

Shuten-doji threw the red leaf of the paper figurine, and was blown by the wind to a nearby creek, and then drifted from the creek into the river.

Shuten-douji... Shuten-douji... why don't you recognize her every time?Amnesia is not recognized?Could it be that after becoming a little paper man, you no longer recognize it?Is he not true love?Just obsessed with her looks and body?Are all men the same?

No, as Qingming said, her heart is also beautiful!

A series of problems plagued Hongye, making her heartbroken and chilled to the bone. Not only was the river water after the ice and snow melted, but also the cold heart made her feel unceasingly painful.

At that time, Shuten-douji had clearly decided to spend the rest of his life with him, and Shuten-douji had clearly said that all of this could be done all over again.In the end?Finally, Seimei appeared and broke Hongye's thoughts. While struggling and entangled, she finally mustered up the courage to separate from Shuten Doji.But the moment he became a little paper figurine, he thought so much that he could change back to his original form, and fell into his embrace to act like a spoiled child.

It's all... disillusioned.It started when Jiu Tun threw the red leaves away.

Hongye wasn't blaming him. It was dark at that time, so it was normal to not be able to see it. Besides, the little paper man had no evil spirit, so it was not surprising that he was not found.Even though Hongye understands the truth, her heart still hurts, and she is stuffed.

Sure enough, I still care too much...

If it were someone else, such as Ibaraki, she would at most beat him up or make a fool of him afterwards, and it would be fine to vent her anger, because she is not a vengeful demon.

But the person who threw her away was Shuten-douji!The man who threatened to take care of her for the rest of his life.

I don't know how long Hongye has been floating in the water in the form of a small paper figurine. If the time limit expires and it returns to its original shape, and Hongye is not familiar with water, it will be too bad.A big flood comes, and then there may be death.

What she was worried about was coming. It was the turn of winter and spring, when the ice and snow melted, there would occasionally be a flood in the downstream area, and the houses of the people would be submerged. The nearby river god took the opportunity to force the people in the downstream area to pay tribute to boys and girls Otherwise, they will not help with flood control.

"Rush away! Rush away!"

"Oh... oh my god..."

Hongye didn't want to hear the wail from the shore, but when the time came, she returned to her original appearance.If it was in calm water, Hongye might still swim up, but unfortunately, she encountered an overwhelming wave of water and rolled her to the bottom of the river.

Drowning, seriously drowning!

The abdominal cavity seemed to be filled with river water, making Hongye unable to breathe. The desire was so strong that after her feet touched the bottom of the river, a light touch was enough to float her up.With her head above the water, and finally able to breathe fresh air, Hongye wanted to catch the floating straw.

Failed, there was ice on the river, hit it, hit the chest, Hongye spit out a mouthful of water, mixed with blood, and merged into the river together.There was another roar of the river, and it seemed that the whole river was turning upside down.

She was desperate and had no hope of being saved.I saw that the boys and girls sent to the river by the villagers just now had sunk to the bottom of the sea and could never come back again. A small boat was floating on the water alone, swaying.Hongye could touch the boat that was so close at hand. She hugged the boat with both hands, rejoicing that she was still blessed with life.

Hongye didn't know how long she had been floating on this river, but the tide was raging and didn't stop for a moment, and the big river was far away from the shore. Maybe she was in the middle of the wide river.Hongye was injured, her body was cold, and she was about to collapse, waiting to die...

The scene in front of her eyes gradually became blurred. Just when Hongye thought she was about to die, an aquatic monster fished her back to the shore.

Rather than being a monster, it might be better to say that he is the river god here.In a daze, the river god, holding a paper fan, was smiling at her inexplicably.Until he walked with Hongye on his shoulders without pity at all, Hongye was always awake, but his eyes could not be opened, it was too cold, and he wanted to sleep.

That river god is the Lord of Arakawa. When he went to collect the sacrifices, he saw the red leaves floating on the river.For the sake of her good looks, Arakawa took her home along the way, put her on the tatami, and lit a stove.

Hongye opened her eyes, coughed a few times, and saw a quilt next to her, wrapping her clothes around her no matter whether it was wet or dry.Seeing Hongye wrapped herself tightly, Arakawa brought a men's coat and threw it to Hongye, pretending to go out to watch the wind, and told her to change it quickly so as not to catch a cold.

Hongye was stunned for a moment, thinking that this man was worthy of being a river god, and he was quite gracious.

She sneezed. As a monster, a cold is an embarrassing thing, so she quickly changed into a baggy clothes that didn't fit her at all.The wet clothes of the red leaves were spread flat on the ground to dry.

This is Arakawa's home, no different from a human's house, but the surrounding area including the river is his territory.

After a while, Arakawa came in with a hot pot and a water cup, poured a cup, handed it to Hongye, and said, "Drink some hot water."

Hongye took the water glass with both hands and said, "Thank you."

"Why did you fall into the river?" Arakawa was very interested in the red leaves. It was so funny that a banshee would fall into the water.

How should I say it?It should be said that she committed the crime herself. She clearly promised Qingming to be tolerant when encountering things, but she provoked Shantu and fell into her trap, otherwise the following things would not have happened.

"Being blown by the wind, I came to the river. I didn't expect a flood." After Hongye drank the hot water, her body became much warmer.

Besides the river god, there are some attendants here, all of whom are fish monsters. When they passed by, they folded the red leaves' clothes neatly, and took them out to wash when there was no sun in the early morning.A few little monsters worked together to make Hongye's clothes bright as new, and hung them in the designated place to dry. It seemed that those little fish monsters were usually well-trained.

After hearing this, Arakawa found it even more funny: "Blown by the wind? Hahaha, you are such an interesting woman. Will such a big person be blown by the wind?"

Hongye has a black line, yes, she is being laughed at now, it's embarrassing, but she still pretends to be nonchalant: "Because I have become a little paper man... Anyway, thank you for saving me."

"I won't save you for nothing."

"What do you mean?"

Arakawa held up his paper fan and fanned it. The white paper fan seemed to be made of white paper no matter how you looked at it. It was ridiculous no matter how you looked at it.

"Don't you understand? My sacrifice seems to have been washed away." Arakawa said.

"Is it none of my business?" Hong Ye was confused. She didn't cause the boat to capsize, but she was the one to blame the boy and girl. Could it be that she wanted to play hooligans?

"It's closely related, closely related." Arakawa replied.

Hongye put down the cup, pulled off the quilt she just put down, and wrapped herself into a rice dumpling: "I won't carry this blame."

Arakawa drank a cup of tea: "But you have to repay my kindness."

Repay your favor?Hehe, it's so funny, it's the first time Hongye heard that the person who took the initiative to save others would actually make such a request.Hongye originally wanted to wait to die, but she didn't let Arakawa come to save her, so why must she repay her kindness?What is the purpose?

"Coincidentally, I remember that someone saved me before, and I want to repay his kindness." Hongye began to tell the story.

"and then?"

"And then he died."

"You killed it?"

"No, suicide."

"why?"

Hongye was a little thirsty, and she was bold enough to roll up the quilt and move her buttocks, stretched out her hand to bring the hot water bottle over, poured herself a cup, drank it in one gulp, and continued: "A big man, save me!" A woman, the purpose is to let this woman repay her favor, guess what? Don't you feel ashamed?"

Arakawa was taken aback for a moment, Hongye's actions made him wonder who is the host and who is the guest, after hearing her wild words, he laughed again: "Hahaha!! It's different, it's different, you are different from the outside Those women are too far behind."

Hongye didn't understand what he meant, so she asked, "Too much difference? Is it because I'm prettier than them all?"

Hearing Hongye's self-styled answer, Arakawa became more interested in her.Unexpectedly, he just went out to collect sacrifices, but he would meet such a woman, who was given to him by the gods for fun?Or does it indicate something?

Women like to dress up because they pay attention to their appearance, so that more men like it. The Lord of Arakawa has also met many women who think they have a beautiful face, but are unwilling to repay the favor and feel good about themselves. Arakawa is still the first met once.

At this time, since that woman has beauty, shouldn't she say to him: There is nothing to repay, a promise with her body?

"Do you think you are beautiful?" Arakawa did not answer directly, but instead asked Hongye, because he was looking forward to what kind of amazing answer Hongye would have next.

Hongye stared into his eyes and replied, "Fortunately, I'm quite confident."

Arakawa almost laughed out loud, but held back, and continued to ask: "Where does the confidence come from?"

Hongye replied honestly: "Because you have been staring at me since I drank the water."

At this moment, facing Hongye, Arakawa was speechless, he was indeed staring at Hongye.Not because of her beauty, but because she was so noticeable.

"...What's your name?" Arakawa believes that exchanging names is the first step to getting to know each other.

Hongye remained silent.

Arakawa carefully looked at Hongye: "Don't tell me? Then let me guess, the headdress is in the shape of a maple leaf, so your name is linked to a maple leaf, and you wear red clothes, should you be called Hongye?"

"..."

It's so amazing that he guessed it right, but Hongye just didn't say anything.

Seeing Hongye's various reactions, Arakawa finally understood that he had guessed the name correctly. Seeing that she had been silent all this time, Arakawa, who couldn't bear the loneliness, asked one more question: "Don't you want to ask who I am?"

"Meeting by chance, it doesn't matter if we don't exchange names." Hongye finally spoke, and drank another glass of water by the way, and vaguely smelled a familiar smell.Like... Shutendouji's?

"Meeting by chance, you can only meet one person in thousands of people. Besides, I am your benefactor. As I said, you must repay me." Arakawa is still obsessed with the fact that Hongye doesn't want to repay the favor.

Hongye took a look at Arakawa's shape, the clothes tasted pretty good, and he has a lot of little monsters under his command, he should be the boss of the fish, and there is a long fish tail at the back, although it matches the color of the clothes very well, it doesn't make much sense , in terms of skin color... Hongye finally came to a conclusion: "Your name is the King of Salted Fish?"

This woman really speaks amazingly... Hearing this name, the corner of Arakawa's mouth twitched: "Hehehe, are you sure?"
