[Onmyoji] I don't want to be dog food
Chapter 20 Powerless
So, I admire Ibaraki who usually walks barefoot and can walk freely.Next time I have a chance, grab his ankle ring and use it for collection.
I almost sprained my ankle, and I just went outside the hall, feeling the swollen lump on my head, and dared not go in because of face.
The hall is an independent house, which is specially used to receive guests. It is built in the middle opposite the main entrance, which is convenient for entry and exit, and can also ensure the privacy of each independent courtyard.It was Minister You who gave valuable advice on the layout of the house.The important ministers of the imperial court also like to meddle in our family's business, and they have to ask about almost every big and small matter. This has always puzzled me. Although we have a little relationship, we shouldn't work so hard.
Occasionally, his son would come and stroll around a few times. He left without seeing me. When he saw me, he just watched from a distance through a screen. Couldn't eat anything all day.
Because the right minister's son is so cute and silly, I used to like him very much. After all, that kid is my childhood sweetheart. He seems to be called Ming Shijun, which means like a stone in a clear stream.
I don't know anything, he said it himself.Compared with the names of our brothers and sisters, it sounds much better and has artistic conception.I have always envied Akashi-kun for having a father with good literary talents, but my father chose a simple and rude name.Calling me Ahe just means celebrating, nothing more.
Qingming's dad named Tianxiegui sister is more pleasant, "Tianxiegui" just sounds very domineering, and with the word sister, it just fits my identity.
Don't think too much, just go in with courage!As soon as I was about to step through the gate, my eldest brother came out. He handed me a piece of red paper and said, "Ahe, the minister on the right is not here. He just asked someone to come. Please check this piece of birthday letter." Just fine."
The clogs were all off, and I stepped on the small stones on the ground with bare feet, which hurt for a long time, but my elder brother told me that the right minister did not come, so what is the right minister doing!
But thinking about it in another direction, it's a good thing that he doesn't come, because I don't even know how to count horoscopes, and the act of slapping a swollen face to pretend to be a fat man to save face will suffer.I folded the red paper, and there was a sentence that said: "What's wrong? Brother, to be honest, I don't know how to read birth dates."
"It's not for you to see, but for you to calculate whether the time inside is right." The eldest brother was anxious, and he rubbed his palms, which was the prelude before he got angry.
I pushed my hand: "If you want to see the face, you must first see the person. If the right minister does not come, I have nothing to do."
"What do you mean there is no way. Take it quickly! Remember to write it down, and I will give it to him when I enter the palace in a few days." The elder brother began to scold me angrily, and pushed me, "Don't be dazed, go quickly! !"
The eldest brother is such a person. When he is angry in front of others, he likes to get angry at his family. It is no wonder that the elder sister-in-law will take the child back to her mother's house.If I didn't see him often, I really couldn't stand his temper.
I couldn't hold him back, so I had no choice but to stuff the red paper and scratch my ears and cheeks.There is a hundred-year-old tree nearby, and a few birds gathered here. I thought nothing would happen, but when I passed by that tree, a bird was still free and convenient, and its feces happened to fall on me. overhead.
What a disaster!
Fortunately, no one usually walks this road, otherwise, those gossiping people will gossip about the young lady, which will easily cause me to lose face and affect my reputation.When the time comes, she won't be able to get married, and she will be rumored to be an old aunt. In short, if she lives in this house, she must be careful and cautious in every way.
I hurried back to my yard, and I called Ibaraki a few times, but there was no answer.
Ibaraki went out around this time every day, which was strange to say.
He wasn't there, so I was left to fend for myself, fetching a bucket of cold water from the well and pouring it over my head with a spoon to wash away the smell of bird shit.The cold water came into contact with the scalp, and my body felt the coolness from the scalp, which made me shiver.I found a random cloth, dried my hair, and sat on the porch with it hanging down to dry.
Taking advantage of the time, I took out the red paper my elder brother gave me just now, on which only my birthday was written.To be honest, if Akashi-kun wants to find a wife, even without my intervention, he can still find it, and he will have a few lovely children with his wife.Although our entire family is in poverty, Ming Shi-jun's family lives in poverty, but at least the family reunion is happy and harmonious. Why do you change everything now?
So far, I haven't figured out why.There must be something strange about this matter, but I haven't had time to ask my second sister about it.
No matter what, let's complete the task now, otherwise the eldest brother will have to curse again.It's okay for him to scold me, but if the right minister thinks I'm a person without credibility, where will everyone's face be saved in the future?
After my hair was completely dry, I spread out the red paper, rubbed the ink, picked up the pen a little, and wanted to start.When the distance between the tip of the pen and the paper is only a few millimeters away, nothing can come out.
Brother will not enter the palace until two or three days later, so don't rush to write, just write when you feel inspired!Thinking of this, I put away the red paper again and pressed it with a seal box.After I pinched my fingers and calculated, nothing came to my mind.
Seeing that the day was coming to an end, I spread the sheets and fell asleep.
When I woke up the next day, Ibaraki slapped me with the same palm to wake me up, and then I did the same thing repeatedly, picking up a pen and red paper as soon as I got up, and scratching my hair in front of the desk.Most of the day passed, and the red paper was still blank.The red light reflected by the red makes my eyes extremely tired.
The ginkgo tree outside has not given me any hints for a long time.I decided to write a wishing paper, tied a red rope, threw it on the branch of this ginkgo tree, put my hands together, and made a sincere wish, that is, I hope the ginkgo tree will not take back my predictive ability.Otherwise, there will be another waste like me in the family.
However, the ginkgo tree didn't have any answer.
When the wind blows, it rubs against the leaves and shakes the branches, and when the wind stops, golden leaves fall.At this point it is just an ordinary tree, no different from other trees.
It is too cruel, I doubt it has abandoned me who is useless.
I don't give up and continue to rest for a day and do nothing.On the third day, before Ibaraki could wake me up, I got up and prayed to the ginkgo tree. I tied a few more red strings on the red paper and hung up jade.I vigorously threw this so-called "sacrifice" to the branch and hung it, still looking forward to the reply of the ginkgo tree.
Several leaves have fallen, but there is no answer.
I finally gave up, deprived of the only ability to be proud of, what a sad thing.Or Ginkgo Tree went back to find the next trustworthy person, maybe it transferred the ability to the person who pretended to be me from the mouth of the fourth brother and the eldest brother.
The ability to calculate fortune that I have so far was endowed by this thousand-year-old ginkgo tree, but now... it no longer exists.
Next, it is easy to guess what will happen in the future, for example: I will soon be exposed by others, said to be a magic stick, cast aside by everyone, and may even be forced to marry by my father for political purposes .
Why did things turn out this way?
I didn't do anything wrong, but God wants to be so cruel.
"Oh... I can't write it..." I lay down on the desk, the ink stained my face, I held the brush and stretched it out in front of Ibaraki who was helping to sharpen the ink, and begged, "Ibaraki, you should help me." I'll write."
"Can't write, don't look for me." Ibaraki refused mercilessly.
It seems that the person pretending to be me is not Ibaraki.Just based on the observations these few days, Ibaraki is quite peaceful, except for going in and out every day to buy some items I need to use, he has never done anything excessive in front of me.Of course, I don't know what he did behind the scenes.
Anyway, although Ibaraki is very cunning, and may sometimes have a cruel and violent side, at least he is not as vicious as those humans who like to play messy tricks.
So, I shouldn't doubt him.
It should be someone else who pretended to be me, and I want to ask Qingming for help now.Calculating the time, Qingming should still be a teenager at this time, and he should already have the ability of a genius onmyoji.
It's just... where does Qingming live now?Will it still be in the original courtyard?
"Then let's sneak out, we can't stay any longer." I put away the table and discussed with Ibaraki.
He didn't speak, and actually lay down on the spot, with his hands crossed flat on his stomach, his eyes closed, and he was peaceful.
"Ibaraki, what are you doing lying here?" I asked curiously.
"Waiting for punishment, several days have passed." He said slowly, opened his eyes and pointed to the small leather whip next to him.
In the past few days, Ibaraki Doji has been thinking about the angry words I said that day?Is he... is he for real?But when it comes to punishment, why would Ibaraki think of giving me a leather whip? He probably has that special habit...
It is the feeling of being whipped by others and still excitedly producing happiness.
I stammered for a moment: "The whip...that's a bit exaggerated, how about taking me out?"
Ibaraki sat up, rolled up the whip, and threw it aside, as if he had lost interest, he said, "Did you forget? You can't go out, save your energy."
"No, this is also a punishment for you, Ibarakiko. I will use you as a bait to lure the Goniwa over there. It's time to rely on your beauty." I patted him on the shoulder and said.
Didn't Ibaraki say that he would be punished?Then satisfy him.Using beauty to confuse Naruto should be regarded as a punishment, because I think so.
Ibaraki suddenly reached out and pinched my chin, leaned over, and said, "Interesting, I would like to see what it would be like for Miss Ahe to escape."
Using a woman's body to lift the chin is too much... that's it...
I shook my head vigorously, broke away from his palm, and said, "You just need to protect me, because I don't know how to fight."
"Hmph, then go." As he said, Ibaraki went as soon as he said, and he was even more anxious than me.
The author has something to say:
As soon as Sister Tianxiegui left the house, she made it clear that she was going to die. The flag stands tall.
And sister Tianxiegui's predictive ability was deprived and transferred to another person. Let's set up a suspense first here.
Tuntun is ready to come out spicy! !
And, I am a wine red party, so there will be wine red ingredients. Here, the red leaves are still human beings.Ciqiu felt miserable and had nothing to do.
