"cage sew cage sew

caged bird

I want to run out all the time

in the night of dawn

The white crane and the tortoise fell down

Who is behind you

......"

"This year's cherry blossoms should be blooming soon..." The slightly younger girl sat casually on the tree with her back against the trunk, one leg bent, and casually looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the small road not far away.

Although it is just after dawn, the air in the morning is still slightly moist and cool, but the people in the countryside have already gone out early to go to the market or to the fields, and occasionally a few huts have been raised in the distance. Smoke curls up.

At this time, a man came hurriedly from the small path, probably in his twenties, the light green kimono on his body was slightly old, and the tiredness and anxiety that could not be concealed were faintly visible on his face.

The girl's loose eyes stopped on the man for a while, she seemed a little surprised, and then hooked the corners of her lips inexplicably.

It seems... quite interesting.

Jumping down from the tree, the girl finally glanced at the back of the man who was gradually going away, and slowly left in the opposite direction.

"Wash red beans, catch people to eat, brush and brush..."

An old voice sang strange songs intermittently, accompanied by the sound of washing beans, the girl who was about to go to the mountain because of her sudden interest raised her eyebrows slightly, and then smiled clearly Come under the bridge.

"Mother-in-law washing red beans, are you still washing red beans at this hour?" The girl's voice sounded with a slight smile.

There was a sound of washing beans, and the old woman squatting by the river washing red beans raised her cloudy eyes: "Ah, it's real wood, why did you come here?"

"Yeah." Shinaki replied casually, walked closer and sat next to the red bean-washing mother-in-law, propped his chin in boredom to watch her wash the red beans with a smile, "well, I just saw something interesting just now, it's really rare to see someone so heavily As for those who are full of resentment, it looks like they are connected to the mountains, so I want to have a look."

"Interesting things? In the mountains?" The red bean-washing mother-in-law looked up at her and repeated slowly, then lowered her head and continued to wash the red beans. Some humans have done something unclean."

Shinaki blinked in confusion and looked at Grandma Xihongdou: "Grandma knows?"

"Mother-in-law can still tell this clearly, she didn't feel the opening of the 'beyond world' gap, so it should be a newborn resentful spirit, but it's just a little troublesome, look at the resentment..." Xi Hongdou's mother-in-law The dim eyes became more and more silent, "Human beings..."

Shinaki lowered his head and looked at his reflection in the water quietly. The white shimenawa on his head fell slightly with the hair on his cheeks. After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly asked: "Hey, what does mother-in-law think of human beings?" ?”

"Well..." The red bean-washing mother-in-law carefully put away her red beans, picked up the bamboo basket and slowly got up, smiled and touched Maki's head, "Grandma thinks that human beings are actually quite cute." Then she seemed to remember something Dee reminded with some concern, "By the way, remember to be careful recently, there is... a commotion in the mountains."

Shinaki was slightly taken aback when he heard Mrs. Xi Hongdou's words, and then smiled indifferently: "It's okay, I'm just going to have a look, and since it's in the mountains, then the mountain god won't let that wraith go."

"That's good, my mother-in-law is getting old and can't stand the toss. She just wants to wash the red beans peacefully every day, and hope there is nothing wrong in the mountains." The red-dou-washing mother-in-law sighed.

Maki didn't say anything more, but slowly brushed back the hair on his forehead facing the reflection in the water, staring at the spell on it, his black eyes darkened slightly.

"Ah, by the way, I'll give this to you." Grandma Xihongdou narrowed her eyes and looked into the distance, "Today...that child didn't come."

"Eh?" Shinaki opened his eyes slightly, and looked down at the bag of red beans in his hand in a daze. When he looked up, the mother who washed the red beans had disappeared.

Maki smiled helplessly. She didn't like red beans very much. Before she could think of how to deal with these red beans, a child came running from a distance.

"Ah, it's really gone, you should run faster, Ah Yin's red beans are gone just like that." The not-so-old silver-haired boy ran over panting, glanced around, and then grabbed his natural hair with some annoyance. Roll muttered.

red beans?When Maki heard this, he looked at the bag of red beans in his hand and paused.

Under the messy silver natural curls, a pair of scarlet eyes looked a little listless due to dead fish eyes, wearing only a loose blue bathrobe, with a samurai sword on the waist, which is not what a child of this age should have .

Maki took a casual look at the silver-haired boy who was running over in a hurry, then turned around and left without interest.

"Let me tell you, what's the matter with looking at Ah Yin like this?" Sakata Yintoki put his hands down the front of his clothes and scratched his stomach like a useless uncle with his dead fish eyes on his face, and curled his lips. He looked lazily at the strange girl opposite him who had been sizing him up just now. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the girl's eyes widen in a little astonishment.

"What, I didn't say anything wrong, did you think I didn't know when you looked at A Yin so carelessly just now?" Sakata Yinshi felt a little uncomfortable, but his eyes stopped on the oiled paper bag in the girl's hand.

"No, I..." Maki, who was sure he was talking to himself, paused when he wanted to turn around, subconsciously wanted to say something, but suddenly lost his voice, only a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

This human being...can see himself?

"Forget it, I'm leaving first, you can continue to be in a daze." The silver-haired boy opposite suddenly seemed to understand something, his eyes flickered, and then he said nonchalantly, even when he saw the familiar oiled paper bag before. I didn't care about some of my concerns, and turned around without hesitation and left in a little haste.

Looking at the back of the silver-haired boy, Maki was a little dazed, she felt that he seemed to have misunderstood something, but she just kept silent after all.

She has been dealing with monsters since as long as she can remember, and she...doesn't know how to get along with humans.

How come there is a subtle feeling of bullying a child.

Maki stared blankly at the disappearing figure of the silver-haired boy, paused for a few seconds, then lowered his eyes, silently put the red bean bag in his arms, turned and walked towards his original destination.

If we can see each other again, please give this to him as an apology, he seems to like red beans quite a lot.

The densely overlapping canopies above the tall and dense trees block out the sky, even in sunny days, it still looks dim and even slightly gloomy.

"Look at this..." After going deep into a section of the mountain, Zhenmu felt the various negative emotions that had begun to thicken, and looked thoughtfully at the surrounding trees that had been rotted by resentment, "It has been a while It's over."

After hesitating for a moment, Maki decided to turn around and leave.

Forget it, anyway, it has nothing to do with her, and she doesn't need to deal with it, so why take risks just out of curiosity.

Before leaving, Zhenmu took one last look at the black resentment that was almost materialized in the distance.

Ominously...filthy.

In the depths of the mountain forest, from the ancient well covered with dry moss, there is a steady stream of shocking black resentment.

"...Hate...I hate...Why...Kill...Definitely..." In the ancient well surrounded by thick black resentment, a woman's voice could be heard indistinctly, and the words were icy cold. His hatred can't help but make people horrified, but Zhenmu, who has already left at the moment, can't hear it.

"Such nursery rhymes have also been handed down.I also heard that on the mountains of Shikoku, there is a monster that makes the sound of making rice noodles. It looks like a grandfather.
