I'm sorry, I, Daoyu Gaoyue, am a scumbag.

Because Zhu Yue used his spiritual power to rush back and forth, although when he came back, his speed slowed down a lot and was not as fast as his full strength, when he arrived at the temple, there were still several figures busy in the yard.

Meichi was cooking rice and would use it to make rice balls. Kusei was cleaning wild vegetables and mushrooms to make rice balls together. Haruto was cleaning the yard, sweeping up some fallen leaves and pouring them into the stove to burn. He was lying outside, while Qiu was helping Wei Mingyu Xingming wash the clothes, then wring them out one by one and dry them aside.

Those were the linen clothes that the teenagers wore before, and now, more than ten days have passed, and the teenagers have also put on their own new clothes, which are simple kimonos with the style of "yukata", and the girls Unlike our hakama, which has a hem similar to an apron and a very beautiful upper body, the "yukata" is an upper and lower piece of clothing, the same color, much monotonous, and the hem is very long, almost covering the top of the feet. This made Zhuo Yue particularly unhappy, as he felt that there was a high risk of falling while running.

Therefore, among the young men, only this guy Yue Yue was very disappointed. He was still wearing the same linen clothes and was unwilling to change into brand-new clothes.

But last night, it seemed that someone had changed Yu Yue's yukata into a blue haori for him, but the boy was still too lazy to wear it.

"Ah! It's Zhu Yue who's back!"

Cangxia Qingren, who was sweeping the floor with a broom, heard the sound of the door being pushed. When he looked up and saw that it was Zhu Yue, he waved and said hello, "Why haven't you been seen so early in the morning? Is there something wrong?" "

"What else can happen! I must go to relieve myself~"

Kariya, who was drying clothes, said carelessly, "Just now, when Haruto got up to collect the incense burner, he saw that the door to the yard was opened and the burner was extinguished. He was very worried."

"You're really stupid. It's not like I can tell at a glance that this is what Zhuo Yue did when he wasn't in the temple."

"Meow!"

Behind Yue Yue, Mei Qiu saw Meizhi cooking and rushed over excitedly. He sat next to the stove and waggled his tail. His big orange eyes were full of expectation, just like a puppy.

Well, Briquettes is different from other cats. He likes to eat rice...

I would like it even more if it had fish added!

"It's briquettes. Good morning."

Meizhi said hello to Black Cat with a smile, then looked at Zhuo Yue at the door, very curious, "Qingxue and Mei Qiu also went out with you? It's rare to see them."

"Yes."

Zhuo Yue replied, taking the snow off his shoulders and throwing it onto the roof, "They two have discovered something incredible."

Qingxue was thrown up by the boy, but she didn't panic. She adjusted her body slightly in the air and landed on the roof deftly. She first licked her messy hair, then found a familiar place and lay down comfortably.

"Something remarkable?"

Jiu Shengzi, who was concentrating on making side dishes, suddenly perked up his ears and looked at Yu Yue, "What's going on?"

"You know..."

Zhuo Yue planned to use a tactful way to briefly mention the dangers in the deep forest, and continued, "Cats can see things that humans can't..."

"Cut~"

Jiu Shengzi snorted, very disdainful, "Do you want to tell some mysterious stories again? We are not children anymore, so let's save it!"

The young man choked and simply stopped mentioning the matter. He looked at Mingyu Xingming, who was concentrating on washing clothes, "Teacher Xingming, do you know Hanako?"

Because Beimingyu Xingming usually works in a rice and grain store, and rice is a food that almost everyone eats, so he will meet a lot of people, and it is very likely that he will hear something inadvertently.

"Hanako?"

The monk was stunned for a moment, then paused, as if recalling, and quickly said, "Amitabha, I know this girl, why did you mention her?"

The young man's eyes lit up and he said quickly, "Teacher Xingming, please tell me about this girl first. Has anyone close to her disappeared recently?"

Although Bei Mingyu Xingming was very puzzled as to why this name was spoken in Zhuo Yue's mouth, and why the young man wanted to know his situation so much, his character has always been like this. Now that Zhuo Yue asked him, he would say, "Amitabha, I know Hanako’s father. He wanted to buy some rice at the rice store last time, but he didn’t seem to have enough money, so he begged the boss for a temporary credit, saying that it was really difficult and pitiful for his daughter to be seriously ill at home.”

Speaking of this, tears began to fall on the monk's face, but Zhuo Yue had long been accustomed to it. When talking about such things, the monk would be surprised when he stopped crying, so he continued to listen carefully, "Namo Amitabha, but the boss is not willing to give credit, so I gave him some money and that was it.”

"Did he say anything?"

"Amitabha, we talked a lot at that time, and I can't tell you the specific words, but the man was very grateful at the time and said that he would go to the mountains to collect herbs later, and after curing Hanako's disease, he would pay me back the money. , but I have no intention of asking for it.”

So Zhuo Yue asked again, "Teacher Xingming, how long ago was that?"

"About......"

Wei Mingyu Xingming thought for a while, "It must have been a week already. I don't know how they are doing at this time, and whether Hanako's illness has improved. What a miserable family."

The behavior can be explained, and the soul should be the person mentioned by Wei Mingyu Xingming.

But Zhuo Yue had no intention of telling the monk that the man was dead, lest he burst into tears again watching Ming Yu Xingming.

What happened a week ago?

Then the time of death should be roughly within five or six days...

Zhuo Yue thought for a moment and then said, "Teacher Xing Ming, is this the first time that the girl's father has gone up the mountain?"

The monk shook his head, "That's not true. I remember this clearly. At that time, I wanted to give him some money to buy medicine to treat Hanako's illness, but he said no, the people in the pharmacy were really evil. , he often goes to the back mountain of Qingmei Mountain to collect herbs by himself, which will save a lot of money."

I often go up the mountain by myself...

Then there should be a high probability that he didn't die accidentally, but was killed?

Beast or something?

Zhuo Yue thought of the man wearing a bamboo hat, called the Crimson Ghost.

Isn't that fugitive still hiding in the mountains...

At this time, Meizhi came over at some point. The girl was holding a blue feather fabric in her hand. She interrupted Xun Yue's thoughts and said with a smile, "Xiao Yue, let's put on this feather fabric!"

Zhuo Yue glanced at it, inexplicably disgusted, "It's not cold now, why do you have to put on a coat!"

Aangxia Haruto's voice also came over, "You don't want the yukata, you said it's too much in the way, but this haori will not affect you at all!"

Meizhi also continued to persuade, "Yes, Aoyue, this feather fabric was exchanged for your yukata, so it is still yours, accept it, Aoyue!"

Kariya said, "It's so pretentious! Yugaku! It's such a beautiful haori! You still dislike it!"

"Can't I just wear it?"

Seeing that even Mingyu Xingming had wiped away his tears and wanted to say something, Zhuo Yue's mouth twitched. He had already been bombarded once last night, and now he didn't want to do it again. It was too noisy! He reluctantly took the pure blue feather fabric and put it on his body.

Meizhi didn't seem to notice the gnashing of Yue's teeth, and looked at the boy with a smile, "This feather fabric matches your eyes very well ~ Yue."
