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

Even though Ootengu said something about Little Momiji, Arakawa didn't take it seriously after careful consideration.Don't scare yourself, don't be afraid of this, be afraid of that.Don't be afraid of losing when you get it, and don't think about when you lose it when you have it.

Arakawa replied: "Some children learn things slowly, don't worry, take your time."

Big Tengu raised his cup and took a sip of tea, then glanced at the little red leaf rolling on the ground, as if he saw someone's shadow from her body, he blew on the hot tea, took a sip, and said: "It seems that I think too much." Yes, but..."

Arakawa saw Xiao Hongye dirty her clothes, so he pulled her up from the ground and told her to sit quietly and listen to the adults chatting.Little Hongye didn't listen, and rolled to the side to lie on her stomach, poking the small holes on the floor that had been eaten by termites.Are children all over the world so naughty and disobedient?Arakawa didn't know how to take care of Xiao Hongye anymore, so he just let her lie on her stomach like this. Fortunately, it was summer now. If it was winter, Arakawa would definitely wrap Xiao Hongye in a quilt so that she couldn't move anywhere.

Ootengu found out that Arakawa had never behaved before, and laughed out loud.Arakawa looked at him with a pair of dead fish eyes, and began to complain about Big Tengu: "You really think too much, your family has grown up so much, can't it take care of yourself?"

Speaking of that person at home...well, just treat what you said just now as a fart, let it be as loud as it stinks.Big Tengu coughed in embarrassment: "Ahem, please don't compare?"

There is no comparison at all!No comparison, no harm, right?Don't hurt each other, okay?The big tengu faces a person who has no common sense of life every day, which makes him troubled to this day.

Knowing that he had hit Ootengu's eternal pain, Arakawa shot back: "Then please don't talk about her."

Let's not talk, let's not talk, that person is really... Even Ootengu doesn't know what he did wrong in his life to cause such a big trouble, he will become Seimei's shikigami, and he is also confused.I remember that guy said Shikigami can't fall in love with his onmyoji, so he volunteered to send him away.After being sent away, he didn't know how to take care of himself, so the big tengu had to go back to take care of that person regularly, for fear that she would starve to death one day without knowing it.

Big Tengu changed the subject and focused on Xiao Hongye's name: "What's your name?"

Arakawa said flatly, "I named her Hongye."

"Hongye? You haven't forgotten her until now? Arakawa, wake up." Big Tengu looked at Xiao Hongye again, and finally remembered who this child looks like. No wonder Arakawa would remind her Such a name.But... If it is really that kind of thinking about people and thinking about a child, it would be too self-deceiving.

"She is Hongye." Arakawa insisted again.

If it wasn't for Hongye, Arakawa would have committed suicide by jumping into the river!

"Arakawa!" Ootengu yelled.

"She is Hongye." Arakawa still did not back down.

The air suddenly became quiet, Daitengu and Arakawa were drinking their own tea, each having their own thoughts.Tired of lying on the ground, Xiao Hongye sat up again, looked left and right at the two uncles arguing, and felt something stalemate in the air.Xiao Hongye is not very sensible yet, but the child's intuition can make her understand many things. She stood up, trotted to the side of Arakawa, opened her arms, and said, "Uncle, hug! Hug!"

"Okay, okay, uncle hug." No matter how unhappy you get along with adults, you can't ignore children.So Arakawa smiled at Xiao Hongye, pulled Xiao Hongye over, let her sit on his lap, and played with a folding fan for Xiao Hongye.

Such a scene can be described as joyful... The big tengu is also envious when he looks at it... He felt a little bit in his heart, and his heart was softened by Xiao Hongye's coquettish behavior for a moment, holding his teacup, hesitant to say: "That..."

Arakawa was surprised: "Huh? What?"

The big tengu was silent for a long time, and then said his request: "Can you give me a hug... Uh... I'm not saying what to do, just... for children..."

Arakawa saw Ootengu's thoughtfulness, and put Xiaohongye into Ootengu's arms without any politeness, and told him what to do: "Hold it well, put your hands like this, just hold it, don't go too far Use force."

It's not the first time to hold a child, Ootengu, it's just that after many years, it's a bit unfamiliar.If everything could be done all over again, he would... Forget it, the past time will not come back... Just laugh and cry, don't pursue anything.Big Tengu looked at Xiao Hongye, his eyes were a little lost, and he smiled wryly.

Little Red Leaf raised her head first, and said hello to Big Tengu: "Hello, Uncle Wings." Are those big wings that have lost a few black feathers the same as hair? Like many uncles in the movie.Xiaohongye stretched out her hands curiously and grabbed it, and a handful of hairs fell out!

"My name is Ootengu." Ootengu was very distressed, but he couldn't bear to say that the hair will fall less and less, and it will be difficult to grow!After that, he must pay Arakawa for the nursing expenses!

Xiao Hongye smiled innocently: "My name is Uncle Big Tengu."

Daitengu reiterated again angrily: "It's not that I'm called Daitengu, but my name is Daitengu, so you can just call him brother Daitengu."

"Uncle Big Tengu."

"..."

It's such a sad story... Ootengu actually didn't want to admit that he was called uncle, but everyone called him that, so he had to admit it. Is he really that old?No...he felt very young.

And Arakawa secretly smiled, laughing that Tengu is old enough to let others call him brother shamelessly.

So, in the next few days, when the big tengu has nothing to do, he will come to play with little red leaf.Xiaohongye gradually becomes cheerful, and often asks the big tengu to take her to fly into the sky and travel in the sky.The goblins in the Arakawa yard love Xiao Hongye very much, and often take her to eat various things and play various games.The banshee likes to dress up Xiao Hongye, dress her in beautiful clothes, and teach her how to make herself more beautiful.

Arakawa is still more serious, he thinks that children should not be lazy and only love to play.He often plans to train Xiao Hongye to understand etiquette, study and play the piano, and live a more elegant life.

After another period of time, Xiao Hongye also grew up day by day, and had her own thoughts, and Arakawa usually didn't feel comfortable talking to her.Little Red Leaf occasionally squats in the repaired part of the hall, which was sprayed by ghost gourd before, and the new wood here does not fit in with the other old wood.It took her a while to see it, and she always felt as if she had seen it somewhere before. Sometimes a scene that she had never experienced before would faintly flash in Xiao Hongye's mind.

For example... ghost gourd and red maple doll...

Xiaohongye felt strange, so she went to ask Uncle Datengu, and Datengu only told her that it was a kind of déjà vu, that things experienced in the previous life would appear in dreams or flashes of imagination in this life.

And Arakawa thinks that it can't be delayed any longer, he must let Hongye read and write, and he can't just let Xiao Hongye think about it all day long, and he definitely won't think too much about things when he has something to do.He immediately ordered the other little demons not to run around with Xiao Hongye again, and issued a door ban.

On this day, Xiao Hongye ran back to Arakawa with tears in her eyes, and rolled up the clothes on her legs automatically, and showed Arakawa the bruised wound with an aggrieved expression on her face.In the past, as long as she put on such an expression, Arakawa would forgive Xiaohongye no matter what trouble she caused.

"What's wrong? You fell down?" Arakawa still took out the medicine powder and poured it on for her as always. So far, there have been countless injuries from falls, big and small. How can a girl be so naughty?

Xiao Hongye said coquettishly: "I fell off Uncle Otengu's wings, it hurt so much..." After she finished speaking, she thought that Arakawa would hug her, but it turned out not, Arakawa just gave her medicine.

It's that guy Ootengu again... instead of staying at home and completing the tasks assigned by Seimei, but always coming here to tease Xiaohongye, what is the purpose of it!Arakawa pinched her face and said, "That guy is always like this! Don't play with him next time."

"Hmm..." Xiao Hongye lowered her head and remained silent.

"Does it still hurt?" Arakawa asked softly.

Xiao Hongye rolled up her sleeves and pointed to the bruised places around: "Here, here, and here."

Arakawa was completely annoyed, and while helping Xiao Hongye to apply medicine, he blamed Otengu: "It hurt so much! Where did Ootengu go!?"

Xiao Hongye shook her head: "He said he was going home to take care of the children." In other words, Xiao Hongye came back and told Arakawa that she was injured, but she just wanted Arakawa to care about her more, and not to just focus on some official business and always go out to do some big things .

After hearing this sentence, Arakawa felt strange: "Child? Where did he get the child?" He had never heard of when Ootengu married a wife and had children.

Pregnant before marriage?Big deal!

The upright Arakawa will never allow such a thing to happen!Soon, Arakawa calmed down again. After thinking about it carefully, he might have guessed wildly, or Ootengu wanted to get away and go home, so he just found a reason to fool the child.Or... is it really happening?Arakawa secretly decided that he must pay a visit next time.

If Ootengu really made such an immoral mistake, Arakawa would never let Momiji play with him again.

Xiao Hongye shook her head again: "I don't know."

After Arakawa sighed and put the medicine powder away, he picked up the paper on the side, unfolded it to Xiao Hongye, and said, "Forget it, let him alone, see if my handwriting looks good?"

In order to make Xiao Hongye interested in reading and writing, Arakawa came up with this tricky method.

Hongye looked at these well-formed characters and nodded in agreement: "It looks good."

Arakawa was very satisfied, and then said: "Hongye, come here, I will teach you how to write." I thought that Xiaohongye would come to learn with great interest, but she still didn't move. From the moment she heard the words of Arakawa's invitation, her eyes Something is wrong.

At this moment, it is the sense of sight that Uncle Datengu said... Where did I hear this sentence about teaching writing?But Xiao Hongye resisted this feeling very much, she shook her head desperately: "I don't want to learn."

In order for Hongye to accept it, he stated his expectation: "No, you must learn, you must be talented, be proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and be a famous lady."

"and then?"

"Then you can be respected, so that you can gain a foothold in front of all the monsters in the future."

"and then?"

"To be respected is to survive."

No matter how many times she asked, Xiao Hongye was still puzzled, she asked, "Why am I a monster?"

Arakawa patiently explained: "Isn't it good to be a monster? We monsters have a longer lifespan than humans, and can do many things we want to do."

Hongye replied without hesitation this time: "Not good."

Arakawa asked: "Why not?"

Hongye became quiet, she moved to Arakawa's side, tugged at the hem of his clothes, and said, "Because... Hongye is afraid of being alone."

I don't know when, Hongye always felt lonely for a long time. She felt inexplicable fear of being alone, so she couldn't be idle all the time, and kept playing and playing with everyone, so that she could be sure that she would not be alone. .

Arakawa hugged her, rubbed her face, and said, "With me by your side, are you still afraid of being alone?"

How long can you stay with me?Xiao Hongye is young and doesn't understand too many things, and often judges by first impression.She sticks to whoever treats her well, and stays away from whoever treats her badly.This is something all children have in common, a natural attribute.

Whenever she remembered that Daitengu used to scare her with a monster named Shuten Doji, Xiao Hongye felt terrified. She pulled Arakawa's mustache with her small hand and asked, "Will you stay with me forever? Uncle Daitengu Said, there is an uncle named Shutendouji who will take Hongye away sooner or later, I am so scared..."

Speaking of Shuten-douji, Arakawa's whole body trembled.What did the big tengu say to Momiji!Arakawa felt more and more that he was too idle!What is the purpose of letting Xiao Hongye know about the existence of Shuten Doji? !Even though Arakawa was puzzled in every possible way, he couldn't show it to make Xiao Hongye suspicious.

"With me here, he won't snatch you away." Arakawa hugged Xiao Hongye tightly, for fear that she would fly away from his palm.

"But... But Uncle Otengu said he is very strong, Uncle is not enough to fight him." Xiao Hongye recalled what Otengu said again, saying how strong and powerful Shuten Doji is, he is still the ghost king or something, it is their demon world The ruler of the country or something.

After hearing these words, Arakawa's mood plummeted.It is true that Shuten-douji is very strong, although it is a recognized fact, but so what?He would never let Shuten-douji know of Hongye's existence, let alone take Hongye away!A man who can't even protect his beloved woman is no longer qualified to take care of her!own her!

"He's talking nonsense, don't listen to him." Arakawa knocked Xiaohongye's head in the head with a fan.

"What does Shuten-douji look like? Is he fierce?" Xiao Hongye said a hundred thousand reasons.

"He has red face and fangs, he has a ferocious face, and he will eat a cute girl like you." Arakawa fiddled with the folding fan.

"It's scary!" Xiao Hongye couldn't help shrinking into Arakawa's embrace, trembling.According to Arakawa's description, an extremely terrifying image appeared in her head, and she was taken aback by herself.

She doesn't want to see such an ugly monster!She wants to stay by Uncle Arakawa's side!
