Why aren't people raising me

Without material enjoyment, spiritual food becomes especially precious, and when doing something wholeheartedly, the body may calm down because of the peace of mind.

So Masaharu spent almost the whole day studying, and his condition seemed to be getting better.

Although he felt that it was because of Yue Yan that he forgot to sleep and eat so much.

He doesn't know whether the teacher has expectations of him, but he knows that students should respect the teacher, although this is just the human affairs principle taught by books.

The family didn't understand why he suddenly became more diligent than before.

"It's too hard, Yazhi, your eyesight is not good, and you need to rest more when you are sick. You have been reading." My sister helped him organize the whole house, and because of curiosity, she looked through the bookshelves called "nobles". "Book, "Is this a new one I found for you? It looks so esoteric..."

"It was given to me by the teacher." Yazhi pulled his head out of the ocean of knowledge and answered her,

"Teacher?" My sister was surprised, "What teacher?"

"He said his name was Yue Yan."

"Yueyan?" My sister raised an eyebrow in confusion and vigilance, "I haven't heard of it?"

Yazhi discovered that when the ghosts are emotional, the evil spirit between their brows will be very strong, and even the slight expression will appear very vicious.

"From the appearance, it seems that there are no ghost characteristics, and it looks like a human being." Yazhi recalled the only side of that night, "A more appropriate description should be...the mimicry is extremely perfect?"

More or less ghosts will have inhuman features, such as the facial lines of the Spider Mountain family, the black whites of the eyes, and what is even more peculiar is the spider face of the father and the spider body of the elder brother.

"It's not all mimicry." My sister said, "A powerful ghost will look like a human, and it will be similar to a human being without deliberately pretending. This is also related to the physical condition at the time of transformation."

But there are only a handful of powerful ghosts.

"Masaharu, that teacher of yours..." My sister was a little nervous, "Could it be the Twelve Ghost Moons?"

"No, there are no words in his eyes." Yazhi poked his hair on the sideburns, "His hair is curly like this, it is black, and his eyes are darker than mine, oh yes, he likes to look from the top when he stares at others Look down."

Masaharu stood up, walked in front of his sister, imitated Tsukihiko's expression for his sister as soon as he got interested, "Like this."

The back is straight, the core is tightened, the lower jaw is slightly raised, the curvature of the corners of the lips is more modest, but the eyebrows are somewhat arrogant.

Then, stare straight into the eyes of the person facing you.

"thump!"

The elder sister fell to the ground as if shocked, her eyes wide open and her expression flustered.

This look—

It's Master Wu Mi!

Yazhi quickly helped her up, "What's wrong, why did you fall down?"

"Masaji, you...you actually?!"

He actually got the favor of Mr. Wu Mi!

"Is it weird for me to imitate? Because I feel that Mr. Yueyan is very much like a son from a big family. Coupled with the characteristics of erudition, he should be able to blend in perfectly with the crowd. After all, knowledge is advancing with the times. .And how can I learn this kind of temperament that I have cultivated since I was a child, it must be neither fish nor fowl."

"No..." My sister hesitated in a slow voice, "Yazhi...students are very similar."

Masaharu laughed, "Stop making fun of me, you guys will always make me happy."

No.

My sister's fingertips trembled,

Is this kid's progress getting bigger and bigger? Since when did I actually feel oppression from him?Although it was only because of the similarity with that adult that it caused some shadows, but...

Has this ability to imitate always existed?

observe.

Human beings learn by observation when they are young.

They observe their peers and imitate their elders in order to find and establish their own growth direction.

Even if you don't learn it deliberately, you will form a similar character under the influence of the environment.

***

The elder sister immediately told the family and Lei, "Has Masaru met that adult? Is that the adult who asked Yazhi to study?"

"That lord?" The eldest brother couldn't believe it, "That lord... came to see Masaharu?"

Mother was even more at a loss, "I have never noticed that there are other people in the house. Can that adult be able to restrain his breath so perfectly?"

Dad turned his head to Tired, obviously asking about the real center of the family.

Tired admitted this.

"So, these days, don't disturb Yazhi's study."

"This is the adult's assessment of Yazhi."

"Incredibly important."

Masaharu became a disciple of Onimai Tsuji.

The status of becoming a ghost queen must be more noble than them.

Realizing this, the Oni family put all their energy into helping Masaharu study.

When the lamp oil is exhausted, look for brighter and more bright ones. If the comfort in the room is not good, then keep an eye on the temperature changes, open windows for Yazhi or add bedding made of spider silk, and use the best food and water Yes, so that Masaharu won't have diarrhea.

The posture of fully confessing Masaharu.

Masaharu was amused by their appearance, "You are like parents who are worried about their children rushing for the exam."

"It's almost there, you must pass the teacher's test, Yazhi..." Mom brought over water, "Come on, let's wash your hair."

Jaji: "..."

Yazhi turned pale with shock, "Mom, I haven't asked you to wash my hair since I was eight years old, I can do it myself."

"You want to study." Mom said seriously,

Masaharu laughed, "It's not too late to study."

***

Because no one deliberately taught him, Masaharu learned to observe and imitate by himself.

Before he came into contact with books, he was just mischievous to attract the attention of his family, because he was not in the society, so he didn’t need to make progress, and even eating was not the top priority, because without competition, he would not have the feeling of being left behind A sense of crisis, so I didn’t develop a character of competing for self-interest. Gradually, those things that I didn’t do became things that I didn’t need to do in my concept, and became unnecessary things beyond thinking.

But after getting in touch with books, I realized that life is far more than just a mountain of spiders.

Most of the books circulating in the market are educational products of writers expounding their thoughts, criticizing this and praising that, Yazhi is very inclusive, and he can extract useful things from any point of view.

That's right, Masaharu can judge and think for himself.

He learns what he thinks is beautiful, just like Yue Yan's elegance and modesty, rationality and strength.

So on the night of the [-]th of this month, Masaharu experienced for the first time what it means to be fidgety with anticipation.

His teacher was very punctual, and appeared as lightly as last time, but this time he landed directly on Masaharu's window sill.

Don't guys with great skills go the right way?

Yazhi was absent-minded and complained, and went up to meet him, "Teacher." This cry was sincere.

Tsukihiko's eyes seemed to change a bit, but under the dim candlelight, Masaharu couldn't see the emotion clearly.

His eyes followed Yue Yan's every move, with undisguised enthusiasm and admiration.

There is something interesting about this look.

Yue Yan was a little surprised,

Oni's loyalty is taken for granted, because it is suppressed by the bloodline control level, but it is a bit... too pure for Masaharu who has nothing to do with him.

The child was tired and raised well.

He gave an evaluation that would make all ghosts jealous.

Tsukihiko didn't exchange pleasantries or nonsense, and began to check how Masaharu was reading when he came up.Not to mention those external factors, if Masaharu has no ability, he is still worthless waste.

But Yazhi's performance can be called excellent.

Even, excellent to terrifying.

Yazhi can answer all the knowledge mentioned in those books clearly and fluently, and he has no fear.

For Masaharu, there is nothing to be afraid of in the teacher-student relationship, they are just asking and answering, or in other words, exchanging knowledge.He didn't have the worry and shame that he would be punished if he answered wrongly. After all, Masaharu had never been criticized since he was a child.

He lacks the common sense formed in some social life, is not afraid of other people's opinions, and is frank and sincere.

Because it went so smoothly, Yue Yan asked about Chao Gang's content in disbelief.

And Masaharu's four-year book was not for nothing. He not only answered it, but was also happy for the teacher's knowledge reserve.

genius.

Tsukihiko stared at him deeply,

This is a genius that will never be questioned in the academic field.

And he's only 12 years old.

"You performed well." Yue Yan said in a clear voice,

"Because I don't want to disappoint the teacher's expectations." Masaharu said, "It is difficult for people from ordinary families to find a teacher, but I have one. I don't think a person like Mr. Tsukihiko can teach others so easily. Since I am so lucky, At least try to squeeze this luck.”

Yue Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, the shadow of the candlelight flickering on his face, "You think so?"

Yazhi joked with him, "Or you can think I'm flattering you? But it's only natural for students to flatter their teachers."

A genius who can make people "jealous".

Masaharu sensed that Tsukihiko seemed to be in a bad mood.

But why it was not good, he couldn't see it.

After talking for too long, Masaharu covered his lips and coughed twice.

"Are you sick yet?"

For some reason, Masaharu felt that the hostility on Tsukihiko's body seemed to be much lighter all of a sudden.

"It won't get better in about a half hour. I'm sorry to affect you." Masaharu said, "Tired plans to take me to Tokyo tomorrow, although I don't have much expectation for that place."

"why?"

Even these three words were spoken slowly and gently.

Yazhi laughed at himself, "Because there must be a lot of people there, and where there are a lot of people, there will be a lot of discussions."

"Are you afraid that others will talk about you?"

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I feel irritable, but it's useless to be irritable, it's just a bad mood." Yazhi's voice was light, "When I went to the human market, people passing by would cast their eyes on me, and They will immediately say to their companions: 'Hey, look at that person, he seems to be dying soon.' That's it."

He spoke lightly, but Yue Yan's eyes widened imperceptibly.

His whole body was a little stiff, his breath sank suddenly, his eyebrows gradually wrinkled slightly, his eyes were fixed on Yazhi,

Then, he even smiled, "What a strong and good boy."

Obviously appreciated.

It sounds like yin and yang mixed with other emotions.

***

After Tsukihiko left that night, Masaharu stuffed the newly acquired books into the bookshelf, and when he opened the door, he saw tired standing at the door.

He was surprised, "Tired? Have you been waiting here?"

"Is Mr. Mr. Tsukihiko satisfied with you?"

"Should... at least not disappointed." Yazhi laughed, "Tired, thank you, I had a good chat with him."

incredible.

Tired looked at Yazhi with a stiff face,

"You...have a good chat?"

"Didn't you hear?"

"I... I didn't get too close."

"I don't think I'm so stupid that I can't distinguish other people's emotions. He even touched my head when he left." Yazhi reached out and touched the top of his head, "If he didn't like me, he wouldn't do this unnecessary move, would he? ..."

Unexpectedly, the expression on the fifth of the last string is even more horrifying.

"... Tired? Why do you have a hellish expression."

"I think you've hit a ghost."

"...Did I do something weird?"

"..."

At dinner that night, Yazhi received the affectionate gaze of the whole family. They seemed to be looking at some strange species, and their pupils were shocked.

There were empty plates on the table in front of them. In the past, they would put some food in order to act in front of Masaharu, and then they would eat something that humans would like with suppressed expressions of pain.Once I couldn't control it, the eldest brother showed his original face, even if he changed back immediately, he was taken to a place where Yazhi could not see him and taught him a lesson.

But now, play house is still play house, but some unnecessary pretense can be removed.

Yazhi ate dinner alone, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Did I do something earth-shattering and weird, why do you all seem to be getting to know me again?"

"..."

"..."

They dare not speak.

"Forget it." Masaharu sighed, "I want to announce something, it just so happens that everyone cares about me today."

Mom forcefully smiled, "What's the matter?"

Masaharu glanced over their faces one by one, "Am I... going to be the big brother in the family?"

***

Masaharu followed Tired to Tokyo several times.

He didn't walk over with his feet, but with the help of the blood ghost technique of a ghost named Naruto.

The ghosts could sense the same kind of breath, Lei held Masaharu's hand, and entered the bustling area of ​​Tokyo from a remote alley.At the end of the alley are bright lights and noisy voices.

Tired let go of his hand and gave Masahar a push, "Go."

Yaji turned around,

Tired did not look at him, "I can't follow you, ghosts can sense each other's breath. If you are lucky, you can see Zhushi, it doesn't matter if you can't find it, I don't have too much hope, you Go to the largest medical center in Tokyo first—come back here before dawn.”

Yazhi joked, "What if I run away?"

And tired raised his head, his expression was so dim that it was hard to tell, "Would you?"

Masaharu replied immediately after that sentence, "I won't."

However, the results of the doctor's examination were not much different from before.In this era, there is no technology to study blood, and there are many incurable diseases.

Masaharu's illness has been brought under control after careful medication, but the wisteria in the blood has not gone away for a long time.

Two full years passed with no progress.

In the past two years, in addition to studying, Masaharu also participated in a business party with Yue Yan.

He put on a suit similar to that of the teacher, and saw his face clearly in the mirror for the first time.

Yes, Masaharu has never looked in a mirror since he was a child. He only looked at himself on the surface of the river where the scene can be reflected. But when he was young, he had no concept of beauty and ugliness, and he didn't care much about his own appearance.It was only after coming into contact with human society that I realized that I had an unusual appearance.

So standing in front of the mirror, Yazhi secretly made a few facial expressions, and then muttered in a low voice, "It seems that he doesn't look bad."

"Masaharu, let's go. Pay attention to the time." His teacher didn't say anything to his childish behavior, and even indulged him for 2 minutes.

"Ah, okay." Masaharu turned back as if awakened, almost reached out to touch his nose in embarrassment, and then remembered that this kind of behavior should not be elegant, so he stopped forcefully.

He imitated Yue Yan's standing posture and speaking tone, "Sorry, let's go."

At that party, Yazhi did not receive any strange glances, on the contrary, he heard admiration.

"Are you a child of mixed race?"

The young man who spoke to him had deep facial features and white skin, "Mr. Tsukihiko, this young man looks like an angel."

Exaggerated description, exaggerated respect.

Masaharu realized more intuitively than before—the world is big.

Human beings are also divided into races, they live in different places and have different cultures.

This is even more exciting than the concept read in the book, it is simply exciting.

***

At the age of 14, Masaharu found himself undergoing some changes.

It is physical as well as psychological.

This change made him feel strongly uneasy for the first time, and even suffered from insomnia for three consecutive days.

Compared with ghosts who don't use sleep much, human beings will become worse and worse if they don't get enough rest.Yazhi's face became haggard visibly.

"Have you not slept well recently?" Tired noticed his trance,

"a little bit."

"We don't seem to be able to help with this kind of thing." Mom said worriedly, "I haven't slept for many years, and I don't know what it feels like to sleep well."

"It's okay mom, I'll adjust it myself."

"Maybe I should go buy some calming herbs?"

During their conversation, tired stood aside, he immediately thought of someone who could help, "I'll take care of it."

That day, Masaharu had a good dream.

In the dream, their family got along extremely harmoniously, and everyone had gentle and happy smiles on their faces.

Then, this dream became more and more unreal. One day, his family was suddenly able to walk in the sun, no longer needed to feed on humans, and became the most inconspicuous ordinary family.They would go for walks when the weather was nice, and travel far away with the money they had saved for a year.

At last.

His teacher held out his hand to him with a gentle smile in his eyes.

***

"Tired, this child has a bad idea."

Nightmare stood on the roof of Masaharu in the last string, and said in a tone of exclamation, "It's really a purely good dream... Unfortunately, it's just a dream."
