Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 221 Big Fish 3
In the yard of Grandpa Wenliu.

The aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus wine slowly gathers in the air and lingers for a long time. As the chat time increases, the aroma of the wine becomes more intense.

The butterfly that left before seems to be unable to fly at this moment.

It was parked next to a small wet puddle, flapping its wings slowly, its body swayed by the breeze.

"Why did Big Fish follow Li Qiqi?"

Chen Beibei looked at Grandpa Wenliu and asked him.

Although the dishes on the table are a little light, there is no problem with drinking because there is a plate of peanuts.

Grandpa Wenliu ate peanuts and drank wine.

With a very satisfied expression on his face.

Every time he came to Grandpa Wenliu's house, Chen Beibei had the illusion that time passed slowly when he was in Grandpa Wenliu's house.

There is absolutely no sense of rush outside.

This probably has something to do with Wen Liu and his wife being too old and slow to move, but there may be other reasons.

Feelings are produced in the human mind.

Chen Beibei thought that way, naturally because of the feeling in his heart.

"That big fish went to Li Qiqi's house that night. It seems that when Li Qiqi passed the bridge, the big fish followed Li Qiqi to her house."

Grandpa Wenliu looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.

At this time, Zashiki Doji was sitting alone on the threshold of Grandpa Wenliu's house, which was made of that kind of stone.

It is a rectangular stone.

Over the course of decades, the stone has been ground to a smooth finish.

Houses with mud bricks and blue tiles, in the past, many people liked to sit on the threshold to eat, that feeling would be very leisurely.

Especially in summer, at dinner time.

Sitting on the stone threshold with a bowl of rice and vegetables in hand, the whole person will be in a very low state.

Whether the legs are bowed or straightened, it is a very relaxed posture.

It's just that the legs are in a state of no force.

The midsummer sunset illuminated the sky red, and the originally white clouds turned red under the setting sun.

There is a peaceful and peaceful scene in the whole world.

When sitting on the stone threshold, there will still be a slight coolness, and with the evening breeze, the heat will slowly fade away.

Eating will also become more appetizing.

If you meet someone passing by the door, ask casually: "Have you eaten?"

No matter how the other party answers.

Both sides smiled kindly, and then joked a few words.Then the pedestrian left, leaving a figure with his back facing the setting sun.

The shadow is infinitely elongated by the gradually setting sun.

"Zashiki-douji sister, let's play a game together."

Xiaoluo's bride looked at Zashiki Warji and said to her.

"Ah."

Zashiki-douji nodded, although he didn't know what game Xiaoluo's bride wanted to play, but Zashiki-douji agreed without thinking.

After all, the things played by the little net bride are generally childish.

"Sister Zashiki Doji, guess which hand the butterfly is on."

The bride of Xiaoluo clenched her hands into fists, and stretched out to Zashiki Wara. The bride of Xiaoluo's hand was very small, and the butterfly seemed a bit huge compared with her hand.

Although Bride Xiaoluo has tried her best to hide the butterfly, a corner of the butterfly's wings is still exposed from Bride Xiaoluo's hand.

Zashiki Doji looked at the small puddle on the ground, and the butterfly beside the puddle was gone.

"In this hand."

Zashiki-douji pointed to the hand of the bride who showed the butterfly wing, and said to her.

……

"What is Big Fish going to Li Qiqi's house for?"

Chen Beibei looked at Grandpa Wenliu and asked him.

"It seems that there is something good about Li Qiqi. There was another man who went to Li Qiqi's house that night.

It was the man peeping through the binoculars by the river.

The man sneaked into Li Qiqi's room, holding a white cloth soaked in the drug, and walked slowly towards Li Qiqi who was sleeping soundly...

Just when the man was about to cover Li Qiqi's mouth and nose with a white cloth.

A monk wearing a navy blue robe appeared in Li Qiqi's room, holding a walking stick in his hand.

The monk stood quietly behind the man, looking at the man silently.

Because the monk didn't make a sound, the man's attention was all on Li Qiqi, so he didn't notice that there was someone behind him.

Just when the man was about to cover Li Qiqi's mouth and nose with a white cloth.

The body suddenly stood still.

There was something like a blue gem inlaid on the top of the crutch in the monk's hand, which was emitting a faint gleam at the moment.

The monk walked up to that man, glanced at Li Qiqi, and carried that man away..."

"Why did he do this?"

Chen Beibei looked at Grandpa Wenliu and asked him.

……

Zashiki-douji and Kotaka's bride are sitting on the stone threshold.

The two were playing a game of guessing which hand the object was in, and a corner of the butterfly's wing had leaked from the left hand of the Bride of the Net.

So Zashiki Doji undoubtedly guessed the left side.

"Sister Zashiki Doji, you guessed wrong!"

The bride Xiaoluo opened her hand happily. On her left hand was only one wing of a butterfly, and the butterfly was in the other hand...

"Xiaoluo bride, you..."

Zashiki Warji was a little angry, but he immediately realized that his tone was a bit bad, so he immediately stopped and continued.

Xiaoluo's bride still had a happy expression on her face.

After all, this time the game was won by himself.

"Xiao Luo Bride, did you get the butterfly's wings?"

Zashiki Doji looked at Xiaoluo's bride and asked her, his tone was very calm, without any big mood swings.

"Well, then I can beat Zashiki Warji-san."

Xiaoluo's bride threw the butterfly on the ground, and the butterfly lost a wing and crawled slowly on the ground. Without the wings, the butterfly's life would lose its meaning.

Zashiki Doji stretched out his feet and trampled to death the slowly crawling butterfly on the ground: "Xiao Luo, all living things are the same, they can feel the pain we can feel, if they are trampled to death It's you, you must be in pain."

Zashiki-douji's tone was a little cold, and his expression was very serious. When he spoke, he stepped on the butterfly's feet and rolled it a few times to ensure that the butterfly was really dead.

"Well, Xiaoluo is afraid of death..."

Xiaoluo's bride looked at Zashiki Doji and said slowly.The smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a slightly aggrieved expression.

Zashiki Warji plucked a leaf.

Pick up the dead butterflies on the ground, put them in the leaves, and wrap them up.

A few patrolling ants saw the body of the butterfly being picked up by Zashiki Doji, and went back with a look of disappointment.

Zashiki-douji dug a hole in the vegetable field and buried Butterfly's body.

"A butterfly that has lost its wings is not far from death. Compared with lingering on its last breath, it still cannot avoid the result of death. It will look more beautiful if it just withers in an instant. Isn't a butterfly just such a creature?"

……

The wine in the bottle has been drunk for less than half.

Although Chen Beibei drank very little, he was already a little drunk, but his consciousness was still very clear.

Grandpa Wenliu continued to tell the story of Big Yu and Li Qiqi.

"After the monk in the navy blue monk's robe carried the man away from Li Qiqi's room, he went straight to the riverside in Qinghe town.

The monk put the man on the ground.

Then I sat down on the ground, in the same posture as when sitting in meditation.

The monk closed his eyes and read scriptures in his mouth.

This lasted for about an hour. After the monk got up again, the man was still unable to move.

"People who harbor sins in their hearts, rather than exist in the world and harm others, it is better to disappear..."

The monk said so, and then threw the man into the river.

Because the man couldn't move, he sank directly to the bottom of the river without any struggle. When the man died, his body would surface again.

However, this opportunity is gone.

After the monk threw the man into the river, he jumped into the river himself. After the monk entered the river, he turned into a big black fish.

The big black fish swam towards the bottom of the water, and soon, a trace of bright red liquid rose from the bottom of the river.

More and more bright red liquid, dyed an area of ​​the river red.

However, soon the red liquid flowed downstream together with the river water, and in the process of flowing, it became weaker and weaker until it disappeared completely. "

When Grandpa Wenliu said this, he paused for a moment, picked up his wine glass, and drank the wine in it in one gulp.

……

After Zashiki-douji buried the butterfly, he sat on the stone threshold again.

Zashiki Doji didn't directly complain about Xiaoluo's killing of the butterfly's wings. After all, Xiaoluo's bride is still young.

It is an extremely innocent age.

This simplicity can be good or bad.

Simple enough to trust everyone, and simple enough to do whatever you want to do.

The feeling for other things, because it will not be conveyed to your body.

Can't feel deeply.

So totally unaware.

Only when others tell her, can she slowly understand these things.

Therefore, even if Bride Xiaoluo really took off the butterfly's wings, it did not originate from the evil in Bride Xiaoluo's heart.

It is precisely because Zashiki Warji figured this out.

Only then will he talk to Xiaolu's bride in a relatively peaceful way.

"Little Luo Bride, don't abuse other things casually in the future, because they also feel pain just like us, you know?"

Zashiki Warji looked at Xiaoluo's bride and said to her.

"But...we still eat them, fish, rabbits, chickens and ducks..."

Xiaoluo bride said with some doubts.

"Well, we eat them because of our own needs. And when we kill them, we don't deliberately abuse or mutilate them. This is allowed. Just like wolves eat rabbits, big fish eat small fish , like a bird eating a firefly."

Zashiki Doji explained.

Eating eats them because it needs to.

In this case, other animals exist as food.

When using them as ingredients, they did not use cruel means to deliberately make them feel unbearable pain.

This practice is allowed by all.

"Yes, Zashiki-douji sister, I understand."

Xiaoluo's bride looked at Zashiki Warji and said to her.

Abuse.

persecution.

Whether it is for humans or animals, it is some kind of bad practice.

Of course, there will be a lot of people addicted to it.

Zashiki Warji has seen too many things like this.Even experienced it personally, the kindness of the past made that man keep getting worse.

After stabbing Zashiki Doji's eyes, he chopped off her hands and feet.

But even so.

——Having been treated unfairly, but still believing that the world is a good place.And hope that others can have a happy life!

This is Zashiki Doji.

In a sense, animals are not very different from humans.

Of course, this only refers to the feeling of the body, pain and comfort.

when humans are hurt.

It is actually similar to the pain that animals feel when they are hurt.

At least, most of them are.

After breaking the leg, the leg will not grow back, and from then on, it will become inconvenient to move around.

After losing his eyes, he will not be able to see what the world looks like.

Animals do.

So do humans!
This pain, and inconvenience, is common.

"Zashiki-douji sister, let's continue playing the game."

Xiaoluo's bride looked at Zashiki Warji and said to her.

"Ah."

This time, Xiaolu Bride used stones...

……

Chen Beibei and Grandpa Wenliu were still drinking.

The scent of sweet-scented osmanthus wine filled the entire courtyard. At this time, both of them were a little drunk.

"That big fish ate that man?"

Chen Beibei looked at Grandpa Wenliu and asked him.

"Ah."

Grandpa Wenliu replied.

That man was eaten by a big fish. If so, that big fish must be a monster.

after leaving the river.

The big fish will take the form of a monk.

Probably a youkai related to the monk.

"That big fish is still in the river in Qinghe Town, right?"

Chen Beibei continued to ask.

After all, Chen Beibei still planned to find the big fish at night, so it would be more convenient to find out at this time.

"It should still be there."

Grandpa Wenliu said while drinking.

"Well, if that's the case, then tonight, I'll look for it, hoping to find it."

Chen Beibei looked at Grandpa Wenliu and said slowly.

Since the big fish is a monster, it can also directly control the man and eat it.

So it must be a monster with some spiritual power...

　Can you guess who this big fish is?Clue: monster in the water, monk!
