[Natsume] dream heart

The reason why human beings are affectionate is that life is short, and some emotions are needed to enrich ordinary experiences; in comparison, the life of monsters is long and ups and downs, almost unable to bear the extra weight, and will easily expose all weaknesses .

"It is a very foolish thing to devote an infinite life to a limited memory."

Teacher Cat licked his chubby hand more than once and said so, and Natsume also felt its heartlessness more than once.

For example, in the following days, he would often think of the lonely back of Mr. Chang, secretly guessing what happened to him; but the three-color/cat didn't respond at all, just eat the steamed buns, drink the wine, The weight is still rising.

The life of students is generally simple, and going around is just two things: study and exams.However, for Natsume, one more thing may need to be added - entangled with monsters or monster exorcists.

He met an acquaintance again at some point in his life.

The uninvited visitor in clothes and leather shoes seemed to have been waiting at the door for a long time, and the first sentence they said when they met was "Oh, you are so late."But I can only see through a pair of eyes that smile like crescent moons that all emotions are subtly hidden by the master, so that nothing leaks out.

He suddenly felt that the person in front of him was completely different from the Mr. Chang he saw in the temple that day.

"Have you read my power of attorney? I'm here to greet you."

This sentence caught Natsume off guard. He did receive a letter not long ago, but before he could check it, the letter was blown away by a sudden wind.Although this is undoubtedly true, I always feel that the more I explain, the more guilty I feel.

Mr. Chang was still smiling, with a look of disbelief.The two argued for a while, but the man in front of him suddenly turned and left: "Let's take a chance to talk, I know there is a very good place nearby."

A sense of crisis flooded into his brain at that moment, he struggled for a long time, and finally followed with Mr. Cat in his arms.

The "very nice place" in the mouth of Mr. Dechang is a long pavilion located somewhere in the forest.

At that time, the sun was setting, and the blood in the sky seeped into the space between the two of them, gradually blending with the color of the man's eyes.Natsume stared at the other person's eyes, only to feel that the self reflected in the pupils began to become coquettish.

"Recently there have been frequent attacks on powerful demon exorcisers, and the main culprit seems to be an insider controlled by monsters." The Patriarch of the Chang family tilted his head and said straight to the point, "We are planning to hold a meeting to convene All demon extermination masters, please take this opportunity to find the criminal hidden in it."

After hearing this, he raised his head suddenly, only to find that he had already been shrouded in a shadow, with no way out, "Will you help us? Otherwise, I'll come back tomorrow."

Natsume hated the feeling of being so tightly bound and unable to move, it only reminded him of the only few confrontations between the two before.The respectful words that Mr. Chang said in every word will only push him to the brink of collapse in the end.

"Why should I accept such an arbitrary commission?" He seemed to be unable to control his emotions anymore, and shouted uncharacteristically.

The other party still had a smile on his face, but the words he spit out were like a sharp dagger, stabbing hard into the boy's heart. "Then I will tell the couple all about your ability and your experience, and say that they have no ability to protect you, how about?"

The conversation ended badly.

Natsume rushed out of the forest angrily, not even caring about leaving Mr. Cat on the spot.He ran faster and faster, as if he could surpass the speed of air flow, leaving the phrase "I'll be here waiting for you at noon tomorrow" far behind.

There are still lush plants growing on both sides of the road, which are connected with the trees beside the long steps of the temple, and seem to belong to the same piece of greenery.However, at this moment, such a beautiful scenery could not be imprinted in the eyes of the young man at all.

He only felt that Mr. Chang, who he sympathized with before, was extremely stupid.

The moody state lasted until bedtime.

Mr. Cat has already slowly returned from the depths of the forest. After eating and drinking, he sat on the ground, scratching his big head with his chubby feet, and asked casually, "Have you thought it through?"

The boy buried his head in his arms, and a dull voice came out intermittently from inside: "Can I not go tomorrow?"

Natsume really didn't want to go, after all, no one would be willing to do so after hearing such half-threatening and half-persuading words.However, considering that the gathered monster extermination masters were likely to be in danger, he began to hesitate again.

"Of course." Mr. Cat continued to scratch his head happily, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all. "It's just that the kid named 'Dechang Jingsi' came to the door again."

This sentence made Natsume instantly discouraged.

The experience of running around all the year round has made him taste the warmth and coldness of the world. It is hard for him to live a peaceful life like water, but he has to be disturbed by someone's hand.What's more, the Fujiwara couple adopted him for so many years, he really didn't want to involve such kind people into the world of grotesque monsters and face unpredictable dangers.

The boy flung himself to the side of the bed, covering his face tightly with a pillow: "Let's go to bed first, we'll talk about tomorrow's matter tomorrow."

In a daze, Natsume seemed to have another dream.

In his dream, he could see the bright sunlight shining through the leaves on the ground, forming patches of mottled light and shadow.Occasionally, there is a breeze, and the fine branches will shake gently together.The light and shadow on the ground intertwined, and the dazzling light accidentally caught his eyes.

——This should be a place that I have never been to.

Natsume was secretly coming to a conclusion, but when she looked up, she saw a girl about ten years old sitting on the tree.No, more precisely, it should be a monster with the appearance of a ten-year-old girl.At this moment, she was humming an unknown nursery rhyme, and seemed completely unaware of his coming.

Could it be that the monster in the friend's account is temporarily unable to escape, and can only ask for his name in the guise of a dream?Thinking of this, the young man unwittingly lowered the movement of his feet: "That... hello, what's your name?"

The little monster remained indifferent, just singing the nursery rhymes in his mouth.And Natsume could only listen quietly, for some reason, he heard some unfinished longing from it.

At the end of the song, she jumped down from the tree suddenly, her fluttering movements were like a leaf falling to the ground.

"My name is Shanfeng," the other party's voice still contained the tenderness and tenderness of a child, making it impossible to refuse easily, "Master Chang, please help me, please?"
