Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 159 Homecoming
night.

The moon was hanging in the sky, Chen Beibei was in his room, and there were those monsters.

"What about Xiaoluo?"

Chen Beibei asked, all the monsters have arrived, only Xiaoluo's bride hasn't come yet, she is about to leave soon.

"I'm saying goodbye to the hanged ghost. Xiaoluo's bride said that we have all gone home, and the hanged ghost is left alone in the yard, which is relatively lonely."

Three-tailed fox replied.

Chen Beibei walked out of the room and came to the old locust tree.

The little bride on the tree was talking to the hanged ghost: "Uncle, I'm leaving soon, don't miss me too much."

"Let's go, let's go, who would miss you little monster."

The hanged ghost said lightly.

In fact, before Chen Beibei and his monsters came to this yard, the hanged ghost was always alone.

Now it's just back to the state of being alone.

This is just a brief parting after meeting, and there is nothing sensational about it.

"Xiaoluo bride, come down, we're leaving."

Chen Beibei stretched out a hand, and Xiaoluo's bride jumped directly into Chen Beibei's palm: "Hanging ghost, happy new year, anyway, we won't be here during the new year, so let's say it in advance."

"Well, Chen Beibei, you too."

The body of the hanged ghost swayed slightly, as if waving goodbye.

Three-tailed Fox, Hotaru, Zashiki Waraji, Yuki-onna, Ubiki, and Nightmare-eating Tapir.

These monsters have all entered the different-dimensional space of the courtyard, and Chen Beibei only needs to bring the small courtyard model back, and then let them come out.

Xiaoluo bride is not Chen Beibei's shikigami, because there is no Xiaolu bride in the shikigami column in the system.

Therefore, the bride is not allowed to enter the courtyard.

After all, the courtyard is part of the system, and only the system and Chen Beibei can enter it. As for other people, there is no way to enter it for the time being.

However, Xiaoluo Bride is small in size, which is also a benefit.

It can be carried in your pocket or in your own backpack.

Of course, if this is the case, it will probably be boring.

"Brother, I also want to be with Zashiki-san."

Seeing that all the other monsters had entered the courtyard, the little Luo bride was left alone, so she said aggrievedly.

"Xiaoluo, you can't go to the courtyard, but you can stay with me and sister Chen Yan, and you can also see some scenery of the human world."

Chen Beibei looked at Xiaoluo's bride and said to her.

"Look at the scenery?"

"Ah."

"Don't you need to hide in a dark pocket, or in a backpack?"

A gleam of joy appeared on Xiaoluo's bride's face, and her voice was also a little excited.

"You don't need to hide all the time, but sometimes you need to hide."

Chen Beibei changed Xiaoluo's bride into a princess dress, which completely covered the spider's lower body.

As long as Xiaoluo Bride does not move or speak, she actually looks like a doll.

At least people would be more willing to think so.

After all, for realistic dolls and monsters, the former is obviously more reliable.

"Xiao Luo, if there are people around, don't talk or move, you understand? In this way, you can stay outside all the time."

Chen Beibei looked at Xiaoluo Bride and said to it.

"Well, big brother."

Xiaoluo Bride replied.

"Then let's go."

Going home this time, because I will come back in the future, I didn't bring much luggage.

Xiaoluo's bride was still placed in Chen Beibei's pocket for the time being. After all, there were still many people in Qinghe Town who knew Chen Beibei.

Moreover, Chen Beibei's occupation is quite mysterious. In short, it's better not to let them see Xiaoluo's bride.

Chen Beibei and Chen Yan walked out and locked the door.

In the distance, a woman in a white dress kept staring at Chen Beibei.

"Are you leaving?"

In the woman's mouth, murmured.

But the woman didn't go directly to report to the monk, after all, at this time, Chen Beibei was just going out.

The woman followed Chen Beibei and Chen Yan all the way to the train station, and finally it was really confirmed that Chen Beibei was leaving Qinghe Town.

The woman under the night, hiding in the crowd, has a worried face.

"Let's report to the master."

The woman came to a wall, turned into a small white fox, and disappeared into the darkness extremely quickly.

……

Chen Beibei and Chen Yan had already boarded the train home at Luoying North Station.

Xiaoluo's bride was placed in Chen Yan's arms, lying quietly, staring out the window.

At night outside the window, dazzling neon lights flickered, more dazzling than the moon in the sky.

Even in the dark, the whole city is still brightly lit, and people are laughing, sad, missing, and noisy.

At some point, day and night became blurred.

People can stay excited in the dark, and throw away the poor sleep time that was originally little.

"Master, the lights outside are so beautiful..."

The bride Xiaoluo couldn't help but said softly, with a hint of longing.

It's so quiet that other passengers won't notice it.

"Yeah, it's pretty."

What Chen Beibei said was the truth, Luoying City under the night light is really beautiful.

This kind of beauty can only be seen after being far away.

It's like standing on the top of the tallest building in a certain city, overlooking the night view of the entire city. Only when this kind of sight is not obstructed can you see things that you can't see normally.

Spectacular, gorgeous, or gray.

In short, it was a different feeling than usual, but what Chen Beibei felt at this moment was that Luoying City was really beautiful.

The speed of the train was very fast, and the lights outside appeared and disappeared like shooting stars.

Chen Beibei took a short rest, the train took a long time to reach Chen Beibei's hometown.

If you sit like this all the time, you will be more tired.

However, Xiaoluo's bride has always been in high spirits, full of curiosity about everything outside.

Brightly lit city, dark night sky.

"Master, there seem to be many people in the sky..."

"Hush... Xiaoluo, Chen Beibei is resting, don't disturb him."

Chen Yan said softly.

"Oh."

The dark night sky, dark figures, and black clouds.

Xiaoluo's bride watched silently and did not continue to speak.

After all, it has seen those figures before, so there is nothing strange about them.

They are like the uncle under the locust tree.

……

The train arrived at noon the next day.

After a long journey of more than ten hours, Chen Beibei finally returned to his hometown.

Sanquan Village.

This is already the second time I have come here this year, the last time was when my uncle died.

"Chen Yan, you go directly to my house."

Chen Beibei looked at Chen Yan and said to her.

Now Chen Yan's home is empty, no one has lived in it for such a long time, the inside of the house should already be full of dust.

If Chen Yan goes back, she will be alone in the whole house, so she will probably be lonely.

"No, I'd better go back to my own house first. I'll go to your house later."

Chen Yan said.

Familiar roads, and the people you meet on the road are all familiar people. They greet each other with kind smiles on their faces.

Reunited after a long absence, even if it is just a fellow villager who can't speak a few words on weekdays, there is a feeling of joy from the heart after seeing it.

Chen Yan's house is indeed covered with dust, after pushing away, there is a very strange feeling.

It was a very dry feeling, like walking into a strange place, without a trace of life.

After a simple cleaning of the house, it is barely livable.

"Come out too."

Chen Beibei spoke slowly to the courtyard model on the table.

Then, the monsters all came out.

Seeing Zashiki-douji come out, Xiaoluo's bride quickly ran to Zashiki-douji, followed Zashiki-douji's feet, and climbed onto her hand: "Sister Zashiki-douji!"

"Xiaoluo, do you miss your sister?"

"Ok!"

Xiaoluo's bride still has a sense of dependence on Zashiki Doji.

After all, Xiaoluo's bride has no parents, nor any real relatives.

Only Zashiki Warji walked closest to her and liked her the most.

"Master, is this your home?"

Three-tailed fox asked.

"No, this is Chen Yan's house, come to my house later."

"Oh, Chen Yan's house is very big."

After Chen Yan returned home, he was not in a very good mood and was always depressed.

After all, now, home is just a dusty house to her.

"Master Chen Yan, what's wrong with you?"

The nightmare-eating tapir looked at Chen Yan in a bad mood, so he asked softly.

Because the dream-eating tapir saw Chen Yan's heart when he created a dream for Chen Yan before, so he can understand Chen Yan's current feelings.

"Number-eating tapir, I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

Chen Yan squeezed out a fake smile and said lightly.

"Chen Yan, let the monsters stay here at your house. My house doesn't seem very convenient. My parents will see you later."

"Well, yes."

Chen Yan said.

Obviously, Chen Yan is still very willing, after all, during the time spent with the monsters, Chen Yan has already regarded them as his family.

It just so happened that this empty house lived alone, it was too deserted, and it would be best if there were more people.

"Chen Beibei, come with me to the back mountain."

Chen Yan said suddenly.

The back mountain is Sanquan Village, a mountain forest where the dead are buried.

Chen Yan said to go there, Chen Beibei naturally knew why, he must want to see her father.

"Well, let's go then."

Earlier, Chen Beibei had brought the three-tailed fox to his hometown.

But at that time they were pretending boyfriend and girlfriend.

This time, Chen Beibei still didn't intend to let Sanweihu continue to pretend, so he let her stay at Chen Yan's house.

Anyway, all of Chen Beibei's shikigami are now at Chen Yan's house, and they won't be boring together.

Chen Beibei and Chen Yan went to see Chen Jianye together.

Along the way, neither Chen Beibei nor Chen Yan spoke, but walked silently.

It was a long road in my impression, but it only took a while to arrive.

"Chen Jianye, we are back."

Chen Yan said.

After that, he just stood there quietly for a while, neither speaking nor moving.

"Chen Beibei, let's go."

Probably what Chen Yan wanted to say, he had already said it in his heart.

Or there is nothing to say at all, just to come and see Chen Jianye.

"Ah."

Chen Beibei replied.

On the way back, the atmosphere became a little more relaxed, not as dull as when we came.

"Chen Yan, let's go to my house for dinner first, so I can meet my parents."

"Um, okay."

The two returned to Chen Beibei's home. Chen Beibei's parents were just ordinary people growing crops in the countryside.

Seeing that Chen Beibei and Chen Yan had returned, their faces were full of smiles: "It's back."

When the family was eating, they talked about some things about Chen Beibei and Chen Yan's going out, as well as some important things in the village.

However, Chen Beibei only said that he was working outside, and did not reveal his identities as a Taoist priest or an onmyoji.

After all, in this case, they will be more at ease.

As for major events in the village, most of them are the death of an old man of some family.

After Chen Beibei and Chen Yan finished eating, they went to Chen Yan's house together.

After all, those monsters are still hungry at home.

Although the monster doesn't eat and won't die, it still feels a little uncomfortable.

After all, monsters also have the feeling of hunger.

"Master, you are back."

"Well, are you still used to staying here?"

"Get used to it, but Master, we're all starving to death..."

The bride Xiaoluo looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.

Xiaoluo Bride is small in size, and of course eats very little.

Probably just a piece of biscuit is enough to feed her, but the bride of Xiaoluo doesn't like biscuits or bread.

The only food she likes is meat, all kinds of meat.

But they don't eat much, usually when Chen Beibei and other Shikigami eat, it's enough to give him a piece.

Is a very easy to feed little monster.

Chen Yan cooked some noodles for them, and then put some meat and vegetables in them.

Firefly is still the same as before, she likes to eat vegetables, but she also eats some noodles and rice.

As for other monsters, they are basically not picky eaters.

Painted walls are the easiest to maintain.

If youkai are compared to plants, Ubi is probably a cactus.

Put it aside, don't worry about it, it can live a good life by itself.

Tubi sometimes eats the bugs that fly by, and sometimes eats the rainwater that falls from the sky. As for what he eats the most, it should be the nearby soil.

The more dirt you eat, the bigger the walls that can be painted.

However, Tubi usually exists as a small wall. After all, it is less conspicuous and can better hide itself.

After the monsters finished eating, they all began to rest.

Chen Yan asked the three-tailed fox to sleep with him. The fiery red little fox had smooth skin and a body that exuded heat.

Sleeping in your arms, even in winter, you won't feel the slightest cold.

Chen Beibei went back home by himself. After all, Chen Yan was a girl, so it would be inappropriate to stay at her house to sleep.
