Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 71 Childhood Memories
The warm breath of the three-tailed fox made Chen Beibei a little dizzy.

"I'm fine..."

Chen Beibei looked at Three-Tailed Fox and said to her.

Chen Beibei wouldn't say that it was because he was thinking wrongly, so he didn't sleep well all night.

Chen Beibei took a handful of cold water, washed his face, and immediately felt much better.

Now that he has found a way to upgrade Zashiki-douji, Chen Beibei decided to let Zashiki-douji upgrade to the second level first.

If you can really bring yourself good luck and wealth.

Maybe you don't have to work anymore.

Zashiki Doji is still short of 900 experience points, which means that he has to spend [-] yuan to be promoted to the second level.

What to buy?
"Master, where are we going to play this weekend?"

Zashiki Doji looked at Chen Beibei and asked him.

"Zashiki Waruji, is there anything you want to buy?"

"Do you want to buy something? No..."

"do not have it?"

Because Chen Beibei was brushing his teeth, his voice was not so clear.

At this time, Chen Beibei's cell phone rang, and someone called.

"Zashiki-douji, get me my phone."

Chen Beibei said vaguely.

Zashiki-douji managed to understand what Chen Beibei meant, and helped Chen Beibei get the phone.

When Chen Beibei took the mobile phone that Zashiki-douji handed him, he saw the scar on Zashiki-douji's wrist.

I couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

The original Zashiki warji really suffered a lot.

"Hello, Chen Yan?"

"..."

"Well, I'll be right over..."

Chen Beibei hung up the phone, but he was still thinking about the scar on Zashiki Waruji's wrist.

Chen Yan also had such scars on his hands, but Chen Yan was different from Zashiki Doji.

Chen Yan cut it himself, just like the pesticide he drank back then.

It's all voluntary...

Of course, the current Chen Yan would never do such a stupid thing again.

Because she is afraid of pain, and because she has begun to like the current life.

"Zashiki-douji, I'll buy you a pair of silver bracelets..."

Chen Beibei looked at Zashiki-douji and said calmly.

There seem to be quite a lot of children wearing silver bracelets, and they look pretty good.

It mainly has some good meanings, such as longevity, health and so on...

"Master, it will be very expensive..."

Zashiki Warji hesitated a little.

"It's okay, let's go, Chen Yan asked us to go out to play."

Chen Yan, Yingcao, and Sanweihu woke up very early.

On a rare weekend, girls generally like to go shopping, especially the three-tailed fox...

"Well, master."

After Chen Beibei finished washing, Zashiki-douji stretched out his little hand.

Waiting for Chen Beibei to lead...

The sleeves of the red kimono fell to the elbow, on the tender white wrist.

That slightly red scar is even more conspicuous...

Chen Beibei took Zashiki-douji's hand and left the rental house together.

Chen Yan and the others have already gone to Luoying City. After all, there are not many things to buy in Qinghe Town.

Three-tailed fox must have gone to buy clothes. As for Chen Yan, it is very likely that it is the same.

After all, some habits are easily contagious.

Chen Beibei and Zashiki Doji found Chen Yan at an amusement park.

It seems that Chen Yan is planning to play with these children.

The village where Chen Beibei was born was Sanquan Village. At that time, there were no such things as playgrounds in Chen Beibei's world.

And he still doesn't like to play with things that look more exciting.

So, Chen Beibei wandered around in the playground alone, and asked Chen Yan to take them to play.

Looking at those children, Chen Beibei thought of his childhood.

When Chen Beibei was a child, the games he played the most were probably marbles, or something that was folded into a square with paper.

Those games that seem boring now, when I was young, everyone enjoyed it and played it day after day.

Marbles are small glass beads that are usually placed on the ground and kicked with your feet.

Within a certain limit, as long as you can touch someone else's marbles with your own, you can get other people's marbles.

On the contrary, if your marbles are touched by others.Then your own marbles are gone.

This kind of game probably started when Chen Beibei was five or six years old and ended when he was thirteen or fourteen.

Almost throughout the entire ignorant childhood.

As for where did the marbles come from?
No one knew about this problem, but Chen Beibei did.

Or rather, vaguely know a little bit...

Probably on a rainy day, the soil on the road was mixed with water and turned into mud.

The marbles appear in that mud.

It probably fell from the sky, or it was originally under the soil and washed out because of the rain.

Chen Beibei picked up a lot on the ground, but it seemed like he couldn't finish it all.

There will be one of those marbles every one or two meters, and then they keep heading into the distance...

At that time, adults told many stories to children.

Stories about strangers, selling children...

Strangers will give sweets to children, which must not be eaten.

Because as long as you eat, you will go with strangers.

Then it will be sold.

No kid knows what it's like to be sold.

However, the fear of being sold still appeared in the hearts of the children.

Strangers will also let children lead the way, and likewise, they cannot lead them.

Of course, on rainy days, marbles on the ground may be another new way of selling children to strangers.

Chen Beibei picked it up all the way to the entrance of the village, and the marbles in his pocket could no longer fit.

There is a mountain on the left side of the village entrance, and there will be some graves on the side of the mountain.

Beyond that is a small river.

It is said that the river is where all the dead people in Sanquan Village gather.

To be precise, it is a place where ghosts gather.

Even though he knew that the adults were talking nonsense, Chen Beibei still had a sense of fear over there.

Especially after a few nightmares.

In the dream, when school was over, it was getting dark.

Chen Beibei went home with the children from the same village, and then the ghost that the adults said appeared behind him.

As for what it was like, Chen Beibei didn't know, only that the fear in his heart was very real.

Then those children started to run, and Chen Beibei was miserable, unable to run them.

That ghost kept chasing Chen Beibei, chasing him everywhere.

Until Chen Beibei was startled awake...

This kind of dream has been done many times. Chen Beibei's fear of approaching the mountain probably originated from these dreams.

Chen Beibei picked up marbles and found them at the entrance of the village that day. If he picked them up again, he would have to go to that gloomy place.

At that time, it happened to be dusk, and the shadows of those trees looked particularly scary.

Chen Beibei was scared and went home...

On that day, a little girl from the village disappeared.

This made Chen Beibei always remember the scene of the marbles falling on the road that day...
