Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 21

Time is flat, day by day.

Half a month has passed since the day Chen Beibei thought that the Kappa would never leave him.

On this day, something happened in Qinghe town. When someone was washing clothes, he saw a dead body slowly drifting down from the upper reaches.

It is a woman with a red gauze dress, blooming in the flowing water, like an evil flower from the other shore.

"Look quickly, isn't that Haruyuki?"

The laundry woman stopped her hands and looked at the corpse on the river.

The corpse, with a calm face, drifts slowly...

"Go and call her..."

What to call her? Daughter, husband, parent, or friend?
The woman who spoke was stuck in her mind for a moment. Haru Xue had no relatives in Qinghe town at all.

"Catch her up quickly."

Only then did the women realize that they were going to fish Aunt Haruyuki ashore.

The river is not deep, just not (mo) over the thigh...

Aunt Haruyuki was picked up and placed on the big stone slab where the clothes were washed.

"Mom, ten years ago, I was lying here. Now it's over."

A wave rose out of nowhere in the river, and no one saw the Kappa.

Because the Kappa is in the river, it can change various appearances, even become invisible.

The town is not big, people died, such things spread quickly.

When Chen Beibei heard the news, he felt a faint sadness.

He went to Aunt Haruyuki's funeral, wearing dark clothes and a solemn atmosphere.

Chen Beibei saw a person who shouldn't be here at a glance.

The bright red cassock is really too conspicuous.

It was the monk who gave Chen Beibei the talisman. How did he come here?
He is obviously not from Qinghe town.

……

"Kappa, is Aunt Haruyuki you...?"

In the rental house, a fiery red fox asked a little girl.

"Sister Three-tailed Fox, yes, I killed her... she died, I am in great pain here..."

The little girl pointed to her chest with a painful expression.

"Didn't you always hate her? Why now?"

"Yes, I hate her, but I don't know why, I still feel bad when she dies..."

The little girl looked at the fox and replied to it.

The fiery red fox transforms into a mature, charming woman.

"Kappa, don't cry, lie in my arms and have a good sleep..."

The woman touched the little girl's head and let her lie in her arms.

warm, soft...

Many years ago, Xiao Shui also had this experience.

At that time, Xiaoshui's name was still Yinlan, and her mother still loved her.

It's just that she often sees her mother crying, secretly crying...

"Yinlan, why aren't you a boy?"

Her mother was crying and asking her.

The kappa looked at the bruises on his mother's hands and asked himself, why not a boy?
……

The monk watched Aunt Haruyuki's funeral quietly, with the same loving expression on his face as always.

"Did she kill you?"

The monk's mouth moved, but Chen Beibei didn't hear what he said.

"I voluntarily, living alone, that's all, if it can make her feel better..."

In the empty air, Aunt Haruyuki was floating in the air, talking to the monk.

"She has killed someone, I must take her away."

"Please let her go."

"Donor don't worry, she is just reincarnated."

Chen Beibei looked at the monk, not knowing what the monk was talking about, nor who he was talking to.

The monk turned and left, heading towards Chen Beibei's rental house.

The funeral was proceeding slowly, and the voices of the mourners were already a little hoarse.

"Bang bang bang..."

There is a knock on the door, has the master come back?
The three-tailed fox put the kappa on the bed, tears of talent hung on his face.

People can't help but feel pity...

"Master, don't you have the key?"

The three-tailed fox asked while walking towards the door.

At this time, she didn't know that there was a monk standing outside the door.

The monk who almost killed them with a piece of talisman.

Squeak, the door opens...

Bright red cassock, bald head, loving face...

The three-tailed fox quickly closed the door, but it was already too late.

The monk stretched out his Zen staff and blocked the door.

"Three-tailed fox, don't mess around..." The monk's voice sounded so flat that there was no trace of emotion.

How did he know his three-tailed fox?
Who is this person?
"Monk, we are just two little monsters, can't you let us go?"

The three-tailed fox's voice was no longer so soft and charming.

"It was possible before, but not now."

Three-tailed fox's combat power is about the same as that of ordinary women, which also means that she is weaker than men in terms of strength.

The monk opened the door, and the three-tailed fox looked at her charmingly.

"Don't waste your energy, these things are useless to me."

The charm technique has failed...

No, my body... why can't I move...?
The three-tailed fox quietly watched the monk walking towards the kappa, but his body was already disobedient.

"Kappa, wake up."

The kappa opened his eyes and saw the monk in front of him without any surprise.

The moment she decided to do it, she knew that there would be such a day.

"Monk, are you leaving now? Haven't I said goodbye to my elder brother yet?"

"Let's go, I won't come back after this walk, why say goodbye..."

The monk took Kappa's hand, cold and thin.

"Three-tailed fox, I have a few words that I want you to pass on to your master..."

The monk looked at the three-tailed fox and said slowly.

The three-tailed fox's eyes kept falling on Kappa's body. At this moment, she could no longer speak or move.Naturally, he couldn't answer the monk.

"Onmyoji, he has his own responsibility. He didn't realize Kappa's long-cherished wish, so that Kappa did such a thing. The good and evil of monsters are only in one thought, and the existence of Onmyoji is to make monsters become good. I hope that in the future, Don't let something like this happen again..."

After the monk finished speaking, he took the kappa and left Chen Beibei's rental house.

The three-tailed fox could finally move, but when she ran out, the monk and the kappa had disappeared...

After the Kappa left, the rental house became a little bit empty.

What is the Kappa's long-cherished wish?
Just want to get a reason for her to accept?
A reason to drown your own daughter with your own hands?
maybe not...

What Kappa wants may be... to affirm Aunt Haruyuki's love for her...

Lying in the arms of the three-tailed fox, it feels soft and warm...

Let Kappa know why he was not happy when Haruyuki died, and his heart ached instead.

Because, Haruyuki's death made her forever lose the chance to prove that her mother loves her...
