The owner of Ubuyashiki is a man in his 20s.When I first met him, he was too sick to stand or walk.

His wife was always by his side, silently supporting his weak body.The two are like symbiotic trees and vines, without too much words, but they are so inseparable as a matter of course.

"I've always wanted to see you."

He smiled slightly.

There was no malice on this person, and the gaze he was looking at me was focused and honest, clearer than the pool water in the courtyard reflecting the sky.

"why?"

The Ubuyashiki clan and Onimai Tsuji Mumi come from the same bloodline. Because of the appearance of oni in the family, they have been suffering from a terrible curse for 600 years. None of the previous family heads lived past the age of 30.

"What happened back then was not your fault."

I didn't answer.

"...It's our family," his breathing became slightly quickened, "I'm sorry."

Viscous blood spilled from between his fingers, he shook his head and declined the handkerchief his wife offered.

"It's been very hard to live until now."

If it was to win me over to help the Ghost Killing Squad deal with Wu Mian, he wouldn't have to work so hard.

The fact that I agreed to meet the head of the Ubuyashiki family is the best proof of my position.

This person clearly knows this, why is he still so gentle.

I said softly: "Your family did not feel sorry for me."

If a woman in the Heian period lost the protection of her mother's family, her husband was missing, and she was helpless, without her husband's care, if no one extended a helping hand, there was almost no other way out except for a miserable end.

During the two years when Onimai Tsuji disappeared, in the last two years of my life, his family took me in and did not drive me, a lonely person with no background and no use, to the streets.

I will never forget this kindness.

The person on the opposite side was slightly stunned, and his eyes suddenly became a little complicated.

He looked hesitant to speak, and I shook my head: "You don't need to use honorifics to me."

"In the final analysis, that person and I did not hold a wedding, and the so-called engagement did not come true in the end."

My fiancé is too weak, and the wedding has been delayed again and again.

Until I die, I'm just his fiancée, that's all.

The young head of the Ubuyashiki looked at me for a long time, and his expression gradually calmed down.

"So, what should I call you?"

I am not his elder, although I can be his great-great-great...great-grandmother in terms of age, there is no need for him to use honorifics to me.

Facing this question, I thought about it for a while.

Wisteria?sunlight?Which name would be better.

The person on the opposite side smiled and said nothing.

My heart seemed to make up its own mind.

"You can call me Ah Chao."

I decided not to run away anymore - it was just a name.

"Thank you, Ah Chao." The person who was burdened with an inescapable curse like me, slightly bent the corners of his eyes, showing a gentle smile: "No matter where you are, no matter how many times time reincarnates, if you want If you want a place to stay, the door of the Ubuyashiki clan is always open for you."

……

Fragments of sunlight poured from the gaps in the leaves, falling warmly on people's skin.

The wind blows the leaves, and the whispering sounds seem to come from afar.I was stepping on a pine branch, with my palms supporting the dry and rough trunk, and I was adjusting my center of gravity. There was a yelling sound from under the tree, as if it was an attendant who had spotted me.

"Mr. Yuanyi—it's not good—Miss Ah Chao climbed up the tree."

My presence is a headache for the servants in the mansion.They may not have seen a person who started to climb over the wall and tree after recovering from a serious illness, but my legs and feet were disabled and I could no longer run. Apart from a little limp when I walked, my body was still very healthy.

Not long after, Yuanyi's figure appeared under the tree.

He had just returned from a mission, and he still had a long knife on his waist.He looked up and saw me standing in the tree, his expression seemed to be stunned, and he didn't look at all like the genius swordsman who was rumored to be miraculous.

"What to do, what to do, the master told me to take good care of Miss A Chao, if anything happens..." the attendant squatted on the ground with his head in his arms and muttered.

Just kidding, I used to be an expert tree climber in Heian-kyo. No tree in Heian-kyo was ever immune to my poisonous hands. If I claim to be the second tree climber, no one will dare...

I am stuck.

Tracking the pine branches overhead, I found myself, as it were, at an impasse.

Yuan Yi stood under the tree for a while, then suddenly said, "Climb on the branch over there and try."

I looked back at him, his expression was indifferent, his eyes were calm and calm, and the attendant next to him looked at him in shock, as if he knew him from head to toe again.

"Mr. Yuanyi..." the man hesitated to speak.

"It's all right." He watched me intently as I moved from one branch to the next. "Nothing will happen."

After switching to another branch, I found that my way forward was really smooth.I no longer need to avoid putting my body weight on the injured leg and carefully control the strength.

I got back the feeling I had back then, and with just three or two strokes, I easily arrived at the ideal place to stay.

Yuanyi was still standing under the tree looking up at me, I sat on the pine branch and smiled at him: "Do you want to come up?"

Hearing this, he took a slight step back.

"Huh?" Before the person next to him could make a sound, that figure was as light as a bird and more flexible than a cat. He stepped on the pine branch I used a few times effortlessly, and came to me in the blink of an eye.

The red feather was blown up by the wind, and it fell slowly as he landed on the branch.

I stared blankly at him, he sat down next to me very naturally, his breathing did not flutter during the whole process, only the flower plate earrings with the sun wheel pattern swayed slightly.

He looked earnestly at the scene I had gazed at earlier.

From the tall branches, you can have a panoramic view of the residence of Ubayashiki.At the end of May, the wisteria flowers are in full bloom.At night, those beautiful flowers will shimmer in the night, as beautiful as if they are crossing the moonlight.

"Is it nice?" I asked him.

Yuan nodded.

The breeze passed through the lush tree shadows, and the rustling sound was like a dry and vast rain.

"Is that why you wanted to come up?"

The sky is blue, and the long chirping of birds echoes among the white clouds.

"...I actually haven't climbed a tree for a long time."

After speaking, everything became natural.

I have loved climbing trees since I was a child, and I like to climb to a high place and sit.

I like the open field of vision and the feeling of the free wind blowing on my face.

The walls can't trap me, and the book's restrictions on women can't restrain me, but my mother is extremely indulgent to me, and my father will never stop anything as long as it can make my mother happy.

The layers of clothing are so intrusive that I often take off my coat and tie it around my waist.A posture that has nothing to do with elegance and dignity will undoubtedly make the female officials in the palace faint.

I used to not care about other people's eyes, and I never thought about the so-called marriage, and the views of my husband's family.

After having a marriage contract, I didn't curb my behavior immediately.I often climb over the wall to see my fiancé. In order to get over the wall, I often have to climb trees.

Over the past few years, I know every tree near his house like the back of my hand, which tree is the best to climb, and which tree has the best view. .

But people will grow up after all.

After my parents passed away, I moved into my fiancé's mansion.

His condition gradually deteriorated, with erratic outbreaks that often occurred without warning.I often get up in the middle of the night, and my work and rest are reversed day and night.

Taking care of my fiancé took up so much of my thoughts that I had no other time, nor did I sit on a high branch and look into the distance.

I try to be demure and learn how to be considerate.

My fiancé, who comes from a large and historic family, is well-bred and learned, and I need only look at him--anyone needs to look at us--to realize how different we are.

Rather than being his fiancée, I'm more like...a person who takes care of him personally.

From the eyes of the world, from many, many feedbacks, I am vaguely aware of this.

I finally began to care about others, what my fiancé and even my husband's family thought.

I never again climbed to a high place and let the wind blow freely in my face.

The sun sinks below the horizon, and the corners of the sky burn with the afterglow of day.

Yuan Yi sat quietly next to me, it seemed that it was the first time I talked about the past like beans in a bamboo tube.

"I'm sorry, I kept it from you before." The evening wind blew the corner of my clothes, and my mood was so peaceful, it was so peaceful that I was surprised, "Even my previous name is not my real name. I seem to have not told you many things. you."

Yuanyi shook his head: "It's just a name."

His gaze was indifferent and calm, his pupils were the same warm color as the sunset in the sky.

"You are always you."

We sat on the branches and watched the sun go down.

There was no sound of conversation, but the Nightworm began to sing softly.Not far away, warm yellow lights gradually lit up under the eaves of the mansion.

Stars filled the curtain of the night sky, Yuanyi seemed to have finally remembered something belatedly, and took out a small piece of handkerchief from his sleeve.

"what is this?"

"Snacks brought back."

"...Why didn't you give it to me before?"

"forget."

Yuanyi jumped off the branch.

I leaned out subconsciously, and he easily fell back to the ground and turned to look at me.

"Want to come down?"

He stretched out his hand slightly.

The night wind was blowing, I left the branch, he held me with open arms, as if he was waiting for me to fall.

"Does your leg still hurt?" Yuan Yi asked me.

"It's been gone for a long time." I glanced at him, "Don't you know my injury better than me?"

He put me down slowly, making sure I was standing up straight before letting go.

A few days later, I saw the swordsman of the purgatory family and Yuanyi sitting under the eaves chatting.Yuanyi seldom chats with people, so I subconsciously moved closer and heard the swordsman with a bright smile ask him:

"Have the snacks been delivered yet?"

Yuan Yi nodded while holding the teacup.

"That's no problem." The owl-like swordsman slapped his chest loudly, "When my sister is unhappy, as long as I give her a snack, she will be happy immediately."

Then he chattered about a bunch of ways to make people happy.

Ah, I seem to have made friends.

With a smile on the corner of my mouth, I quietly retreated from the corner of the corridor.

When the owl swordsman came to my tea house to rest, I specially waived his tea fee - I can no longer hold a knife and can no longer participate in ghost hunting operations. opened a tea house.

The villagers who often visit the tea house include the villagers and members of the Ghost Slayer Squad.

Yuan Yi is not considered a guest, he is a permanent employee, without salary but can eat snacks as he pleases.

Watching Master Rizhu serve them tea and water with a blank face, the members of the Ghost Killing Squad were not used to it at first, but after a long time, the tea house became a place for the members to exchange their swordsmanship experience.

There is a small open space in front of the tea house. Some things cannot be explained in words, and Yuanyi will come to the open space to demonstrate on the spot.

That is the favorite entertainment of the villagers.

The ordinary days flowed away like water.The village was busy preparing for the autumn harvest festival. I was cleaning the table in the tea house when I heard the door curtain being raised, and the wind chimes under the eaves spun in a circle, making a soft, rippling sound.

A samurai with a sword at his waist stood at the door. That person was not Yuanyi. Although the facial features seemed to be carved out of the same mold, the temperament of the two was completely different, and they could be easily distinguished without looking at their appearance.

I stood up straight all of a sudden, almost throwing off the rag in my hand.

"Are you here to find Yuanyi?"

At that time, Ji Guoyansheng hadn't grown six eyes yet, and everyone was still human, so they could sit down and chat peacefully.

The samurai with the sword was silent for a while, then said, "No, I'm here to find you."

oh.I understood right away:

——This person came to inquire about Yuanyi.

The author has something to say: miraculous update.jpg

Enichi and Asahi, I decided to develop naturally

Anyway, it’s right that these two are in the retirement group [Huh]
