Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 256 Spirit Wind Island 4
Quiet summer night.

Chen Beibei slowly fell asleep in a very comfortable environment.

If it wasn't for the noise coming from Haisha's house in the middle of the night, then this night, he would definitely have a good night's sleep.

"Woooooooo..."

In his sleep, Chen Beibei vaguely heard the girl's cry, but because he couldn't be sure if it was the sound from his dream, Chen Beibei didn't choose to wake up right away.

"Master, wake up, someone is crying inside."

Zashiki Doji shook Chen Beibei's body and said anxiously.

Hearing Zashiki Doji's voice, Chen Beibei really woke up. There was indeed a girl crying in the house, probably the two little girls I saw during the day, that is, Xiaolian's younger sister.

Why are you crying in the middle of the night?

They are obviously about ten years old, at this age, it is not easy to cry.

"It seems to have done something wrong, his father is scolding her..."

Zashiki Doji said slowly.

There was indeed that man's voice in the room, speaking in an unintelligible language, probably using their local dialect.

However, even so, the anger in the voice can still be clearly heard.

As the sound grew louder, there was a dull sound in the house, as if the sound of a girl being pushed to the ground heavily.

Chen Beibei rushed in quickly.

On the ground, the older girl, about ten years old, was lying on the ground, covering the shoulder of the other hand with one hand, as if she had been thrown.

And cry all the time.

The man on the bed, the man sleeping on the bed, was holding up his crutches at the moment, facing the little girl on the ground.

After seeing Chen Beibei coming in, he still didn't stop.

The speed of swinging the cane is very fast, and the force used is also great. If it hits the girl's hand, it will definitely hurt.

"Sa!"

The girl who was originally outside the door appeared in front of the man at the moment when the man's crutch was about to fall on the little girl.

Gu Huo Niao tightly grasped the man's crutch with his own hand.

Staring at the man with a cold look!

"What are you doing? This is my daughter, I can beat you however I want!"

When the man was talking, he tried several times to pull his crutch out of Gu Huo Niao's hand, but because Gu Huo Niao was too strong, the man didn't succeed.

"no!"

Gu Huo Niao broke the man's crutch directly with her own strength, then threw it on the ground, and said to the man coldly.

For, parents and their children.

The emotion between the two parties should be very deep in Gu Huo Niao's heart. If it is just to vent his anger, or because of some messy reasons, to hurt his own children, Gu Huo Niao will absolutely have no way to understand this. way of doing it.

Xiao Lian is dead, although she was killed by someone else.

However, the parents who sent her to Chunyu Street to sell herself to make money, weren't they wrong?

Gu Huo Niao leaned over and helped the little girl who had fallen on the ground up. From the gap between the little girl's fingers, some red blood slowly seeped out.

I don't know what caused it, but the little girl seemed to be injured.

"let me see."

Chen Beibei held the little girl's hand covering his shoulder. There was a wound about three to four centimeters on the shoulder. It was not very deep, but there was still a lot of blood.

In fact, such an injury would not cause too much damage, and after a while, it would probably heal on its own.

However, this still made Chen Beibei a little angry towards the man.

"Why did you hit her like that?"

Chen Beibei asked.

"At this time, I still want to eat. I keep saying that I am hungry, and I don't look at it. What time is it now..."

There was anger in the man's tone.

In the evening, the two little girls didn't actually eat anything, they just drank a little soup, not to mention that they probably hadn't eaten normally for many days before that.

It's normal to be hungry. 00
"I'll go find something for her to eat. Don't beat her for some trivial things in the future."

After Chen Beibei finished speaking, he took the little girl out together. The little girl looked at Chen Beibei with strange eyes, and moved her lips, but she didn't say anything. stop feeling.

"Gu Huo Niao, let's go to the beach and get some fish."

Chen Beibei looked at Guhuo Niao and said to her.

"Well, master."

After Gu Huo Niao finished speaking, she flew directly towards the sea. Before in the house, Gu Huo Niao suddenly caught his crutch in front of the man and broke it.

It has already exposed the fact that she is not a human being, and there are only two families living on this island, Gu Huo Niao and the others will leave this island soon, so there is no need to hide that she is a monster .

"Little girl, what's your name?"

Chen Beibei looked at the little girl and asked her.

"Xiaoxi."

the little girl replied.

"Does your father... beat you often?"

Chen Beibei continued to ask.

The little girl's wound had already been tied up by Chen Beibei with cloth strips, which temporarily stopped the bleeding, but the blood stains stuck to the little girl's sleeve still looked a bit unbearable.

The little girl looked up at Chen Beibei's eyes, then lowered her head secretly, looked at her shoes, and replied softly, "Mmm..."

The little girl's answer made Chen Beibei feel powerless.

After all, it was between the father and his daughter, they would always be together, and it was impossible for Chen Beibei to stare at them all the time.

Therefore, there is no way to solve such a thing.

"Then... from now on, when he hits you, run away."

Chen Beibei touched the little girl's head. Her hair was very dry and yellowed, which was caused by malnutrition.

"Well, well, I will."

When the little girl spoke, she kept her head down and her eyes never left her shoes.

……

When Gu Huo Niao came back, she was carrying some fresh fish in her hands.

"Master, I'm back."

When Guhuo Niao spoke, Inugami had already lit a fire on the ground and set up a shelf for grilling fish.

The sea breeze was blowing slowly, and the moonlight and starlight, together with the firelight, illuminated their area.

"You can leave Lingfeng Island tomorrow, and you won't have to endure hunger in the future. You must cherish that kind of life."

Chen Beibei looked at the little girl and said to her.

"Will there always be something to eat?"

The little girl raised her head, looked at Chen Beibei, and asked him.

"No, but as long as you keep working hard, there will always be something to eat!"

Chen Beibei replied.

No matter how much help is given, it is always only temporary. It can pull people out of difficulties, but it is impossible for a person to have a rich life because of help.

What you need, what you want, and what you desire are all things that you need to work hard to get.

This must be the same for both Chen Beibei and the little girl.

The aroma of grilled fish overflows from the fish.

Accompanied by the sea breeze, which teased everyone's taste buds, the little girl swallowed and even made a slight sound.

"Eat."

Chen Beibei stuck the grilled fish with a stick and handed it to the little girl.

The little girl began to gobble it up.

……

The next morning.

Kaifangzhu came to Lingfeng Island in the boatman's boat.

The previous fish and boats have all been sold by the owner of Kaibo. Scarborough Town now has a lot of people from outside, and the demand for food materials is also great, so they can all be sold easily.

"Master, this is selling fish to get money."

Haifangzhu handed Chen Beibei a stack of money, which seemed to be a lot, at least enough for their family to leave Lingfeng Island.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Master Kaibo."

Chen Beibei looked at Master Haifang and said to him.

Walking into the house, the smell inside is still a bit unpleasant, and there is a feeling that it is difficult to breathe.

The woman on the bed saw Chen Beibei coming in, and patted the wooden board beside the bed, reminding the man that he just woke up from his doze.

"You are here..."

The man looked at Chen Beibei, raised his head and said.

The man still maintained a posture of leaning against the bed, and did not stand up or move his position.

"This money is enough for you to leave here. After you leave here, go out and live a good life."

Chen Beibei looked at the man and said to him.

After Chen Beibei finished speaking, he put the money in his hand in front of the man, then turned and left.After all, Chen Beibei and the others can only do this.

……

Small sea sand house.

A somewhat obese woman was leaning against the headboard of the bed, her eyes fixed on a black and white TV not far away.

The picture on the TV is a jittery snowflake.

The woman seems to be thinking about something, and has maintained this position for a long time...

"Bang bang bang."

The knock on the door pulled the woman back from her thoughts to reality. The woman slowly got up from the bed, and when she got out of bed, she kicked the table on the ground: "Broken TV..."

I came to this woman again because of what Xiaolian's father said before.

He said that there are only two families left on this island, and the others have basically moved out of this place.

The fat woman is one of them.

This woman, Chen Beibei always felt that her heart was full of kindness, at least she was the kind of person who had no evil intentions.

"Xiao Lian's family will leave here soon, you...do you want to go out to live too?"

Chen Beibei looked at the fat woman and asked her.

Chen Beibei hoped that this fat woman would leave here. After all, living alone on a barren island is a very lonely thing.

And it's easy to die too.

In the woman's room, beside the bed was a pair of men's shoes, which were placed very casually, and the two shoes were not together at all.

"I... don't leave."

said the woman.

As for the reason, Chen Beibei really didn't understand.

Xiaolian's father's explanation for the fat woman not leaving Lingfeng Island is: "Probably her husband abandoned her, so he doesn't care about everything, so he doesn't want to leave."

If this "probably" is true, then if the fat woman doesn't leave, it's a bit self-defeating.

However, Chen Beibeijue's fat woman is not such a person.

This woman is optimistic.

She always has a smile on her face, and when she smiles, she is very hearty, without any dark feeling at all.

Whether it is talking or acting.

From everything, it can be seen that this is not an autistic woman who doesn't care about everything and who has given up on herself.

"Can you tell me why you didn't leave?"

Chen Beibei said.

"Come in..."

The woman looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.

Entering the woman's room, it is still exactly the same as before, without any changes, and some boring TV series are still playing on the TV.

The fat woman took out a small hoe from under her bed.

Then I moved the bed a bit, and started digging under the original bed.

The soil exudes a wet smell, with some rotten shells and conch, the sea is always like this, some shells and conch go to a certain place, I thought it was safe, but when the place became dry , die slowly.

"What are you digging for?"

Chen Beibei looked at the fat woman and asked her.

"It will be fine soon..."

The woman didn't answer Chen Beibei's question directly. The hoe in her hand never stopped, and she dug very hard.

Soon a wine jar sealed with red cloth and rope appeared in the dug hole.

The fat woman knelt on the ground, bowed her body, and took out the altar of wine: "This is the wine that was buried when my husband and I got married. I originally planned to save it for drinking when we divorced..."

It was the first time Chen Beibei had seen such a practice of burying a jar of wine at the time of marriage and saving it for the time of divorce.

Being able to do this means that they have nothing to shy away from divorce.

"The longer the wine is kept, the more mellow it will be. If the marriage lasts too short, there will be no way to brew a good wine... It's just that I didn't expect that there would be no chance to drink this wine again."

The fat hand of the fat woman holding the wine looked very gentle, or...gentle, there was also a kind of tenderness in the eyes, and the ripples of memories gradually faded away...

"When my husband was out at sea, he encountered a storm, and since then he disappeared without even finding his body. Because only my husband's body was not found, many people began to speculate that my husband abandoned me and went to Going to another place, living with someone else's woman...

But I know that my husband will never do this.

Because, we have agreed that if we are tired of each other, whether it is because of personality, psychology, or appearance, then we can choose to separate.It's nothing, and it's perfectly acceptable, everyone gets tired of a constant layer of life.

After drinking this jar of wine, get drunk, marriage is like a dream and disappears with waking up, and then continue with a new life..."

　When there was no full attendance, I thought about whether to take a few days off, maybe five days off.After all, apart from full attendance, this book only earns about ten yuan a month.But think about it, why am I writing this book?From October 200 last year, it has been nearly eight months, more than 3 days, just because the mobile phone charger in the country was broken, and then the update was 1883 minutes late the day before yesterday.So far, I have received a total of 82 manuscript fees, and putting it together for such a long time can really be ignored.How should I put it, writing this book, of course I wanted to make money, but since 2 collections were put on the shelves, and all of them ordered 100, the purpose of making money has completely disappeared.So now, most of the reason for my persistence is because of what I said before, "you have to write enough for 100 million.".But now that I am writing, [-] million is already in sight, and I began to realize that there is actually another subtle reason, that is, I really like the monsters in Onmyoji!From the beginning of writing, to the countless times of checking information and supplementing, I almost go to bed at one or two o'clock every day. Even though I need to get up at seven o'clock to work in the factory now, I still haven't changed this habit!I like this reason, which is the "root" that really allows me to persevere. (Whispering bb: Then continue writing, I’ve been tired for so long, and it’s not too late!!!)
