[Comprehensive + Onmyoji] My apprentice called me home for dinner

The second day, Saturday.

Today's fortune: Moji - There are people crying in the world, and ghosts crying in the ghost world.

"You said, do you want to visit Noda's house?" Ji Ran had a headache. He didn't want Lu to have anything to do with Noda Yang again, but he couldn't bear to refuse Lul's request. "I'm just a little worried..." After all, it's the first friend, so Lil's worry is justified.

"Then go." Ji Ran sighed, stood up, and pinched the child's cheek, "But I want to go with you." Lu struggled and grabbed Ji Ran's troublesome hand, "Well, Let go. Seimei..."

The two came to the Noda house, not expecting that there were many people gathered outside the gloomy old-fashioned house, and thinking of the police car parked at the street, Ritsu had a bad feeling. [Could it be... foreign? ] Grabbing the child who was about to rush inside, Ji Ran patted the shoulder of a watching aunt. "Hello madam, do you know what happened to this family?"

"You said the Noda family! That's really scary. I heard that Mrs. Noda had mental problems and brought other people's children home. But this is not the first time, and I don't know why so many people watched it this time. Oh, brother, are you bringing your younger brother? Be careful..." "It's more than that!" The old woman in front of the aunt suddenly turned around, "Yamashita-san is Noda's neighbor, he knows a lot One point, I got it from him... It is said that after the abducted parent called the police, the police found the child, and found other things from their house... It's scary!" Ji Ran still hasn't answered , the aunt on the side consciously cheered, "What what? What is scary?"

The old woman lowered her voice, "It's Mrs. Noda's mother-in-law's body! It was found in a jar!" Sensing that Lu was trembling, Ji Ran clenched Lul's hand tightly, wrapped his arms around the child's shoulders, and held him half in his arms inside.The woman continued, "I heard that the police officer in charge of the search was also shocked! But the Noda family is really pitiful... Now there is only Mrs. Noda left in their family, and now she has become like that again..."

"Why is she the only one left? Where's Yang? Where's Noda Hiro?" Ritsu asked eagerly.The old woman was a little confused, so, "Are you...?" "I'm Yang's friend!"

The eyes of the aunt and the old woman on the side became inexplicable, "Oh, don't you know, kid? The reason why Mrs. Noda became mentally disturbed was because her son fell into the water while fishing by the river a few years ago. Noda Mr. went to rescue his son, but neither of them came up..."

Lu felt as if there was something blocked in his throat, and felt extremely uncomfortable, "Impossible, how could... I, I still..." Ji Ran held the child in his arms, and pressed Lu's head to his heart , "Okay, okay, don't be afraid...it's okay...it's okay..."

The old lady and the aunt looked at them strangely.The child just said yesterday...?He can't be... see that? "I, I suddenly realized that I have something to do at home, so I'll go first." "Oh, me too, I'll go first." The two of them left in a hurry, as if they were afraid of contracting some kind of disease.

"Lü..." Ji Ran regretted letting the child come into contact with Noda Hiroshi. He thought the child had no friends and might feel lonely so he didn't stop him, but now, Ritsu seems to be even more sad. "So, Yang, he's actually dead? Then what I saw...is his ghost?" Lil's voice was a little dry, "I'm just saying, how could I make friends... so he is a ghost, so that makes sense pass…"

"Aren't I Lu's friend? Lu's first friend is me." Ji Ran squatted down, holding the child's face with both hands, making him look up at her, "I'm sorry, I know he's not right , but it didn't stop you from making friends with him..." There was some awkward shyness in the originally sad eyes, and the eyes were half-downcast, not daring to look at Ji Ran's sincere eyes. Notice the difference between ghosts and humans."

"Then don't you be unhappy?" "Yeah." Ji Ran felt relieved, smiled slightly, and picked up the child. "Qingming! Put me down...I'm already in the sixth grade, I'm not a kid anymore!" "Lun is growing so fast, after another year, I won't be able to hug her anymore." "Qingming!" Seeing someone around, Ritsu looked over, She had no choice but to bury her face in Ji Ran's neck and stop protesting ineffectively.Ji Ran turned around and walked back with Li, they already knew what they should know, so they didn't need to stay here.

It is by the small river next to the cherry tree.Ritsu Iijima has already sorted out his mood and decided to face reality, so he came here again.

"Iijima! You're here! You ran home suddenly yesterday, which made me worry to death." Noda Hiroshi ran over, and Ritsu looked at him quietly with his schoolbag on his back. "...Long time no see, Noda." "What 'long time no see'... Didn't we meet yesterday?"

"I haven't been here for a month. I'm here today because... your mother is... hospitalized." Noda was a little puzzled, "What are you talking about? My mother is clearly at home." "Actually …you were… dead years ago.”

Lily paused, then turned to look at the falling cherry blossoms, "You accidentally fell into the water when you were fishing by the river, your father died trying to save you, and you also died at that time. Your mother lost her husband and son all at once, and her heart is broken." To be hurt..." Thinking of Noda's mother at Noda's house, Ritsu couldn't bear it, but it is also impossible for Noda to live in his own world and not become a Buddha.

"She took the elementary school students who came home from school as you, and took them home and locked them up. This situation was repeated many times. In the end, the police had to take her to the hospital for treatment... When and how your grandma passed away does not matter. Clearly, the police found her bones in a large jar in the living room during the search."

Noda Hiroshi didn't say a word, and Ritsu continued to talk about what he learned later, "After you die, your house is like a haunted house...I'm very afraid of good brothers and things like that. But...it's not all demons that are scary. The house and the heart were left to be deserted and handed over to the monster... I finally know that what is really terrible is the dark heart that allows the monster to take advantage of it."

"Are you afraid of me? Are you not afraid?" Noda Yang asked with his head tilted. If he didn't know that he was a dead person, he would actually look the same as a living human being.Law shook his head, "Not afraid."

Noda suddenly grabbed Ritsu's hand. "Aren't we friends?" They didn't know when they came to the river, Noda Hiroshi's body sank into the river, but he still held Ritsu's hand firmly! [come together! ] Ritsu heard Noda's cry from the bottom of his heart. "No, let me go! Stop!"

Noda Yang finally sank into the river, and he let go.The splash of water splashed on Lil's coat. [sorry.I'm lonely... aren't we friends?Why don't you come with me...]

"You will be lonely because you always stay in that kind of place, you go to your father's place!" [I want to see the cherry blossoms... I want to see the cherry blossoms of my happy past again. ]

Lil turned and pointed to the sturdy cherry blossom tree by the river, "The cherry blossoms bloom every year, it's just that you are intoxicated with your own loneliness and don't have the heart to appreciate it." The old man on the cherry blossom tree took off the pot that used to be a fish basket at his waist, and turned his mouth downward. Gently shaking, one by one, the snow-like cherry blossom petals are falling down freely, and they don't know where to go along with the wind.

[Look, look, it's cherry blossoms.So beautiful...Dad, Mom...]

"I'm back." "Lü, you're back." "Yeah, why is Qing Lan here?" Ji Ran shook his bat fan unnaturally, "He...he just asked me where you were..."

Lv turned to look at Qing Lan, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

The cramped monster suddenly laughed "hahahaha", "No, my stomach hurts, hahahaha, brat, your first friend turned out to be a ghost—hahahaha!"

Lily picked up the teacup on the table and threw it over, "Troubleshooting! I want you to deal with it! You must laugh so hard!" "Hahahaha——"

The author has something to say:

(There are some comic lines in this chapter, but they cannot be omitted. Please bear with me, the little angels. The original comics are really awesome and very healing.)
