Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 118 Osmanthus Wine

Autumn is getting stronger, and the sweet-scented osmanthus is gone.

Time passed day and night like a river.

A maple leaf fell from the branch and slowly floated into Chen Beibei's window.

Xuenv bent down and picked up the leaves. The white hands and the bright red maple leaves formed a strong contrast.

"Master, what kind of leaf is this? It's very beautiful."

Snow Maiden asked softly.

Xuenv rarely asked questions, Chen Beibei was slightly surprised: "Maple leaf, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I want to go out for a walk."

"I'll go with you."

"Ah."

The scenery outside has not been noticed for a long time, and many changes have quietly taken place.

The cicadas in midsummer completely disappeared.

The scenery that catches the eye is a piece of gray-green, which seems a little lifeless.

Now there are only dead branches in the peach forest, but there are some green trees on the back hill.

But under the bright colors of maple leaves, it also looks a little dim.

"Master, last night, I had a dream."

Snow Maiden said suddenly.

"What dream?"

"It was a dream about the snow mountain. A child woke up in the snow mountain, and then left the snow mountain..."

Xue Nu dropped the maple leaf in her hand on the ground, her voice was a little low.

"Is that the kid you adopted?"

"Ah."

"Maybe it's because I miss him too much. Don't worry too much about it. If he really exists in this world, we will meet again naturally if we are destined to meet again in the future."

If we can meet again, a child who has lived in the snow mountains for thousands of years.

It must not be human, right?
Chen Beibei and Xuenv walked slowly on the path covered with red maple leaves.

A long silence followed.

From time to time, a few grasshoppers jumped over the ground, and the gray grasshoppers would not live long.

Chen Beibei knew about Xue Nu's longing for that child.

For such a long time, I never let it go.

At night, through the window, staring at the moon in the distance.

During the day, from time to time in a daze.

"Xue Nu, in fact, if you forget the past, you will live a happier life."

Chen Beibei said lightly.

Life is full of life.

If you have been immersed in some of the pain in the past.

Then, life is sad.

"If you forget the past, then you will also forget the past self?"

There was a wind blowing, and the maple leaves were flying, blocking Xue Nu's face: "Is it still me who lives like that?"

Chen Beibei couldn't answer this question.

saved,

Pain is more real than joy.

This is understandable.

For a monster who has lived for a long time, if he gives up those memories.

So it doesn't seem to be much different from giving up on yourself, right?
"In any case, we still need to pay more attention to our present life. What used to be is still in the past."

Chen Beibei replied.

Xue Nu nodded and sat down on a big rock.

It's as cold as ice, but it's also beautiful.

Chen Beibei also found a place to sit down. At this time, the sun was still shining on his body, so it was very comfortable.

Xuenu lived for such a long time, so she must be very clear about many things.

Since she herself chooses to remember those past words.

Chen Beibei didn't intend to force her either.

Everything is as she wishes.

After a short rest, Xue Nu stood up: "Master, let's go back."

"Ah."

In the nearest shop in Qinghe town, a special kind of pastry has been put on display.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.

Appreciating the moon and reunion, this is an important day for the children of China.

This day is naturally inseparable from many legends.

However, not many people care about those legends anymore.

When Chen Beibei and Yukino returned to the rental house, Zashiki Waruji and the others were watching TV inside.

"Master, what are you holding in your hand?"

Yingcao asked quickly when she saw the mooncake Chen Beibei was holding.

"This is called a moon cake, and you can't eat it until the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Chen Beibei explained.

Regarding these human customs, Chen Beibei is still willing to tell them.

After all, they are always going to live in the human world.

"What is Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"It's a special day. After three days, the moon in the sky will become round. At that time, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Will there be something fun then?"

"In Qinghe town, maybe not. But we can sit on the roof, look at the moon, drink and eat."

There are many sweet-scented osmanthus trees in Qinghe town, and some people will pick sweet-scented osmanthus to make wine.

Osmanthus wine is a very fragrant wine with moderate sweet and sour taste and soft taste.

Even Chen Beibei, who doesn't drink, can drink a little.

Now there is an altar in his home.

It was sent by Grandpa Wenliu.

Although Grandpa Wenliu lives in poverty now, he is still self-sufficient.

Having reached old age, there are no extravagant hopes.

Life is still very satisfactory.

"Can we drink too?"

"Well, a little bit, it's fine if you don't drink too much."

Chen Beibei patted Yingcao's head and said calmly.

During the festival, if you want to enhance the atmosphere and drink a little wine, it's nothing.

On weekdays, Chen Beibei still wouldn't give them drinks.

addictive.

"Hey, Kaoru! When the time comes, you will come too."

Chen Beibei looked at Xun outside the window and said to her.

"I... Me?"

"Ah."

For Kaoru, even just talking to people is a luxury.

Now that Chen Beibei invited her to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with her.

For her, this can be regarded as a very happy thing.

"Well, thank you, Master Onmyoji."

A happy smile appeared on Kaoru's face, and then it faded: "But I... don't go."

"What's the matter? What's the matter?"

"Well, something."

Kaoru replied.

"If that's the case, then fine."

Now Chen Beibei's Shikigami already knew of Kaoru's existence.

But Kaoru will not show up.

Shikigami had no way to communicate with her.

After all, the current Kaoru is an owl.

The only ones who could understand what she said were his own clan and Chen Beibei.

"Master, that sister owl, you can let her in to play."

Zashiki Warji said while playing the game.

"Xun, it's autumn now, it's cold at night, come into the room."

Chen Beibei said.

"No... no need..."

Kaoru hastily refused.

Chen Beibei is human after all, although Xun himself knows that he is a good person.

But still didn't dare to get too close to him.

Kaoru still remembered the back of the hair-eater who limped and disappeared in front of her.

The hair-eating ghost said: "Have you forgotten the hatred between humans and ghosts?"

The hair-eating ghost said: "Ugly things, you won't understand, some things are more important than life."

Thinking of this, Kaoru closed his eyes.

I saw with my own eyes that my own people were slaughtered.

How can I forget?
But, is it really necessary to exchange your life for the self-righteous dignity?
Kaoru chose to live, to live alone.

Because only in this way can we witness the prosperity of the ghost clan again.
