Yuqi and the others entered the village in the direction pointed by Yimulian. The gravel road under his feet reminded Yuqi of the first scene in the unreal world, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at Bawei. But he was caught by the opponent.

"What's the matter, why are you looking at me like that?" Ba Wei was puzzled at first, then saw Yuqi quickly look away, raised the corners of his lips, and teased, "Do you have to look?"

So narcissistic!Yuqi regretted so much, why did he find out, but fortunately, he broke the jar and said, "So what, I can't see the shikigami I raised?"

Bawei suddenly stepped forward, turned Yuqi's body around, and faced himself, "Come on, let's take a look."

As soon as Yuqi saw his interested eyes, he knew that this guy was probably teasing him again, so he gave him an annoyed look, turned around and quickened his pace.It's getting worse and worse!

"cage girl cage girl

wanting to come out all the time,

In the night of dawn,

The crane and the tortoise fell over,

Who's that guy in the back? "

As if he had heard this ballad somewhere, Yuqi stared at a few children in a circle at the entrance of the village. After watching for a long while, he didn't see any clues. He was obviously just playing an ordinary game of hunting ghosts.

"This ballad is very common." Bawei saw what he was thinking, and stepped forward to explain, "There is nothing special about it."

Hearing what Bawei said, Yuqi suddenly remembered that when he was in the illusionary land, he also heard children playing games and singing this song at the entrance of the village. Reality.I don't know why, every time he hears the ballad, he always has a bad feeling that something is going to happen. Could it be that he has an occupational disease of an onmyoji?

He shook his head, forget it, maybe he was too nervous, or he blamed the lyrics for exaggerating the eerie atmosphere.But the moment he turned his head, he stopped again. "Do you ever get the feeling that something is wrong with these kids?"

Hearing this, Ba Wei carefully looked at the children in the game, except for the ones in the middle who covered their eyes with cloth, there were three or four shorter ones standing beside them. If there was something wrong, it was probably because the scene was a bit more dignified. ,"what have you found?"

"None of them have expressions. It stands to reason that even if children try to hold back their voices, there may be one or two who can't hold back, but each of them has the same expression on their faces."

Without paying attention to Qi's further research, the parents of these children rushed over and took their children back. During the process, they did not see any communication between the neighbors, as if they were trying to avoid something.

Yu Qi couldn't help but stepped forward to stop a man and asked, "Do you have any spare rooms in your house? We don't have a place to stay halfway, and we want to stay overnight."

The man looked at Yuqi, and was about to refuse, but suddenly felt a strong gaze pressure, passed Yuqi, and directly met Ba Wei who was not far away, and he didn't know how to say the rejection, "Ah, Yes, you come with me."

Yuqi and Ba Wei came to the man's house only to find out that he is the head of the village. Sure enough, the house is much larger than that of the villagers. The child who was a ghost just now is the only son of the village head. , but without half the enthusiasm for hospitality, with a haggard face, he took the child from the village chief and carried him back to the back room.

"Please don't be offended, children are afraid of strangers, and the house is a bit shabby, so you can just live there." Seeing Yuqi's outfits, the village chief knew that they were not from the village, and probably passed by from afar. "Where are you going?"

"We're going back to Kyoto."

"So it's from Kyoto, no wonder."

Yu Qi glanced at the back room, still not giving up, and continued to ask, "Village chief, why can't the children in this village laugh?" In his impression, the children should be noisy and mostly smiling. .

The village chief smiled unnaturally, "It may be that we are too strict with the children on weekdays, so they are so cautious, well, I won't disturb your rest, just call me if you need anything. "

The village chief walked in a hurry, his footsteps seemed a little messy, as if he was running for his life, the more Yu Qi thought about it, the more he felt strange, "He must be hiding something?"

"It is the night that cannot hide things."

Yu Qi understood what Ba Wei meant, and didn't pursue him any further. He thought that even if he asked the village chief again, it would be fruitless, so it would be better to quietly wait for the horse's feet to show itself, as Ba Wei said.

When it was late at night, Yu Qi was still tossed and turned by doubts and couldn't fall asleep. He sat up and looked out the window. The silver moon was hanging in the sky. Everything was quiet as usual, and there seemed to be nothing wrong.Could it be that he was thinking too much?

Boom!Boom!Boom!

"There was a sound, as if someone was hitting the wall." Yuqi got up and opened the door, "It should be in the yard."

"Come on, let's go take a look."

Following the regular sound, the two searched the courtyard for a week, and finally found the entrance of a wine cellar, which was blocked by several jars of wine, but this was not a problem for Bawei, in the blink of an eye, he These obstacles were cleared without a sound, and the thumping sound became more and more obvious.

Yu Qi slowly opened the door, leaned forward cautiously first, the smell of wine wafted into his nostrils, and he couldn't smell anything else.Foxfire ignited in Ba Wei's palm, lighting up the dim wine cellar in a flash.

Yuqi climbed down the ladder step by step, when Bawei who jumped down suddenly grabbed his waist and jumped to the lower floor together.He looked at the wine jars all over the floor through the light of the fox fire, and found a petite shadow in the darkest corner.

On the arm that was entangled by the rope, there were many scratches, and the sleeves were torn. It was clearly a child. Yu Qi was surprised to tie such a young child in a dark wine cellar. What kind of family is it?

"Don't be afraid, we are here to rescue you." Yuqi was afraid of frightening the child, he slowly approached the corner, and after making sure that she did not resist, he loosened the rope that bound her and pulled her away. rescued.

"Look, okay, does it hurt? Is there any injury?" Yuqi's voice was extremely soft, and the child raised his head, revealing his dirty little face, only a pair of reddish-brown eyes glowed. .

"who are you?"

"I'm just an onmyoji, come on, I'll carry you out, let's wipe your face clean first, and then find suitable clothes to change into." Yuqi stretched out his hand, smiled, quietly waiting for the child's reaction.

The moment the little hand touched him, Yuqi breathed a sigh of relief, and gently held the child in his arms. It seemed that the rescue went relatively smoothly, and he was quite destined for children.When he started to flutter again, Bawei didn't wait for his order, stepped forward, and jumped onto the ground with the two people in the same posture.

Without disturbing the village chief's family, Yuqi fetched water and gave her a simple wipe in the room. As for the clothes, he had no choice but for the time being.

Her fair face was clean, and her brown hair showed its original color. She sat on the bed, looked at Yu Qi, and tilted her head in a daze.

"Are you the village chief's daughter?"

"..."

"How long have you been locked in the cellar?"

"..."

The child was still in a daze, silent, and turned a deaf ear to his questions. Could it be that his affinity has been exhausted?Yu Qi rubbed his nose, turned to Ba Wei for help.

But Bawei was really not good at coaxing children, so he glanced at him lightly, expressing that he was helpless.Yuqi took a deep breath. At this time, he could only rely on himself. He continued persistently, "Don't worry, the village chief won't lock you up. If he wants to lock you up again, I won't agree."

"They won't let me go."

"What, what did you say?" She actually replied to him, Yu Qi was a little overjoyed, but after he calmed down, he fell into doubt again.

"What they want is wealth and the prosperity of the family. It is impossible to let go of the opportunity."

"But what does that have to do with your being locked up?"

Her eyes suddenly brightened, she looked directly at Yuqi, as if mocking his innocence.Yu Qi had an inexplicable illusion of being despised, he blinked vigorously, was he wrong?

"Because of me, they can make it all happen."

"You... who are you?" Yuqi had a guess in his heart, but he was still not sure, but with the experience of the previous few times, he could have a new shikigami, and he was not allowed to change his skin. "Are you a Zashiki warji?"

"Human beings are all the same, they all want to get something. What do you want? Do you want to take me away and lock me up in another place?" Zashiki Warji has a small body and a face like a child. Such words came from her mouth. Out, Yuqi only felt sad.

"We don't want anything, we just want you to be free. When you can go out, you can go wherever you want, and one day you will find someone who treats you sincerely."

"You are such a strange person." Zashiki seemed to be looking at a monster, looking at Yuqi with hairs.He finally kept the zashiki boy and waited until dawn to have a showdown with the village chief's family.

Seeing that the secret was discovered by Yuqi and the others, the village chief was very disturbed. His originally kind face began to look grim, but with Ba Wei in the battle, he didn't dare to make a mistake.He wanted to rob someone directly, but his ambivalence that he couldn't make a move made his face distorted.

"She was taken in by our village, you can't take her away."

"You forced her to stay here, she doesn't belong to this village, she has the right to choose to stay." Yuqi didn't take a step back, and insisted on fighting for reason, "The village you want to be rich may already have an effect, But do you remember those kids who lost their smiles?"

"What does this have to do with them?"

"Give me one day. If the children in the village can return to normal and smile again, you can no longer stop this matter."

The village head hesitated for a while, thinking about his son, finally gritted his teeth and agreed to Yuqi's conditions.

The author has something to say:

Finally, it's time for the baby to be seated. The super cute baby is also a baby who lacks love.I personally think that a family of three has no sense of disobedience~
