I accidentally died yesterday [comprehensive]

Nura's mansion has a rare old time.

Hundreds of years ago, when the sun rose, the farmers stepped into the fields, and when the sun fell, they walked home with hoes on their shoulders. The days went by day by day; The clock on the clock struck six times every three hours, so the craftsmen who were still working slowly knew that they should step up their movements. The days were three hours and three hours.

People nowadays live a little faster.

5 minutes becomes the basic timing unit on the dial, and the time is accurate to the second. When the "咔咔咔咒" pointer rotates, the time has passed.

There is no clock in this dim yellow Japanese room, and there is no sound of time moving. Kurokawa looked at the sun in the sky, which was about to fall on the black tiles of the wall, shining like gold. Only then did he realize that he had already agreed with Nuliang Yubao long words.

Nuliang Huapiao talked about how Kurokawa lured the monsters of the Nuliang group to the East Sea when they met for the first time, and Kurokawa wanted to explain that he really miscalculated the direction at that time.

It is also said that during the era of the Tokugawa shogunate, the Nuliang group moved several times. First, they moved to Kyoto, thinking that this place would become a new prosperous place. Later, they moved to Edo Castle, built a large house and began to live in it.

At that time, only a part of the land near the bay was developed in Edo Castle. Nuliang Huapiao picked a piece of grassy land in the east and hired carpenters, bricklayers and blacksmiths. , but I didn't expect Nuliang Huapiao to sit on the eaves and smoke a pipe.

Hearing someone speak bad words, Nuliang lifted a stone tile and smashed it down. The workers were so frightened that they thought it was the gods who were angry, and dared not say anything again.

After the building of Nura Mansion was completed, Nuliang Niaobao wandered around Edo Castle with a pipe in his mouth. When Kurokawa was hired to exorcise monsters, he saw Nuliang Niaopiao pretending to be a guest eating and drinking inside a few times. .

It doesn't matter if you are discovered, Nuliang wiped his mouth with a smooth ladle, pointed at Kurokawa and said, "I came with him."

So the owner of that house asked him to continue eating dubiously.

Kurokawa asked about Piaoji again. Back then Piaoji's healing ability was somewhat similar to the effect of the elixir. Kurokawa also met Piaoji a few times. Nuliang Huapiao was silent for a long time, shaking his head and stopped talking.

Not long after, there were footsteps in the corridor, and Lu Sheng's mother Wakana came in with a plate on which were placed snacks for guests. She didn't look like she had given birth to a child, she was as innocent as a girl, she looked curiously Looking at Heichuan, he bent slightly: "Are you Mr. Heichuan, my child will be delivered to you."

Kurokawa returned the gift, and after Wakana left, Nuliang Huabao took out a Go board from nowhere, and took out two black and white chess boxes, and signaled Kurokawa to play the next game with his eyes.

Nuliang poured out a handful of chess pieces on the chessboard with his eyes closed, and asked Kurokawa to guess whether the remaining chess pieces were single or double. He also closed his eyes and guessed single.

Nuliang opened his eyes, and kept picking out groups of chess pieces from the chess pieces on the chessboard, each group of five, and did not stop until there were less than one group of chess pieces left.

There are three pawns left on the board.

"It's a single." Nuliang said, he gave the black chess piece to Heichuan, and then said: "You go first again."

Edo hundreds of years ago was still too small.

As long as Kurokawa is still walking around in Edo Castle, and Nuliang is still living here, the two will always run into each other by chance, and if they have nothing to do, they will play a game of Go.

Kurokawa seems to be favored by the god of luck in terms of luck. Every time he guesses the chess pieces, he can always guess the final number.

Kurokawa placed the first sunspot on the Flying Star in a very regular manner, which is the nine black dots on the Go board, which are collectively called stars or Flying Stars.

Generally, when Go teachers teach elementary school students, they would say, "If you don't know where to play, just play on the star." Kurokawa and Nuliang played chess pieces many times, and every time they hung on the flying star like elementary school students.

Heichuan played chess on one side, and Hua Piao on the other side also started to play chess: "I can't think of who wins more and loses less between you and me."

"After all, we often can't finish a game of chess."

Because Kurokawa doesn't follow the rules, he occasionally plays chess, but he doesn't pay much attention to winning or losing. He often finds something interesting, so he leaves the chessboard and leaves, so he is often angry with people like him. Getting angry, he didn't understand why he was angry.

But Kurokawa has a good memory.

Every time he played chess with Hua Piao, he would replay the game that was not finished in the previous game, so that he could finish two or three games intermittently.

Sure enough, after Nuliang Huapiao finished speaking, Kurokawa seemed to think of something, and said, "I still remember that chess game."

With the slider nodding, they cleaned up the chessboard and refilled the unfinished chess game in Edo time.

"After so long, you still remember."

Kurokawa frowned slightly, staring at the chessboard seriously, "After all, I have spent a lot of hard work on this."

"of course I remember."

People's memory is limited, Kurokawa often thinks this way, if his brain is filled with too many irrelevant things and few interesting things, then how boring his life will be, so he remembers what should be remembered , should not be remembered, naturally have their own places to go.

Facing the re-arranged chessboard, Hua Piao said, "Speaking of which, when I play chess with you, I often see a young man."

"He often wore a fine kimono, stood under a tree and watched us play chess without saying a word."

Before Hei Chuan could speak, Hua Piao said again: "It was such a good time, everything was slow."

"However, the good things in the world don't last long, and the colorful clouds are easy to disperse and the glass is brittle. Now that I think about it, it's just a mirror image. In a blink of an eye, Ji Ji is gone, and Lu Sheng is so old. I often think about what the future will be like."

Hua Piao pressed a white stone, "What if Lu Sheng didn't take up the heavy responsibility of the Nuliang Group and went on the path of evil forever?"

"If he's guilty."

"I made a big mistake."

"If he harbors evil intentions."

"An enemy of the world."

"What should I do?"

Hua Piao's fingers did not move away from the white chess piece for a long time: "What about you, Kurokawa, what should you do?"

"Hey?"

Heichuan raised his head, as if he didn't know what happened, his mind seemed to be still trapped in the chess game, his face was ignorant, it was a pure but indifferent expression, as if the superior was saying "After I die, don't care about the flood" time burnout.

"Oh. This one."

"Does it have anything to do with me?"

He lowered his head and tapped the chessboard: "It's my turn, Slider."

Hua Piao pretended nothing to happen, raised his hand, and continued to chat with Kurokawa. Existences like them that have lived for a long time are actually very similar to old men in their 80s and [-]s. They are easy to slip when talking The children and grandchildren will tell how powerful the son is and how promising the grandson is.

So Kurokawa took advantage of the situation and asked, "Where is your son, have you gone on a business trip?"

"...Dead." Hua Piao choked speechlessly.

He was stabbed to death by his first wife.

This Kurokawa really didn't know, so he apologized very much: "Sorry, I shouldn't have asked this."

So he said, "Although Lingsun is young, he has the spirit of success. I think he will be able to carry forward the Nuliang group in the future."

"..." Hua Piao's face was not very good-looking either.

"What's wrong?" Kurokawa cautiously probed.

Although Lu Sheng didn't want to give up the Nuliang Group at night, Lu Sheng didn't think so during the day.

Putting it this way...

As soon as Hua Piao raised his eyes, he saw Hei Chuan looking at him with an expression of "You are really a miserable evening".

"..."

I can't go on talking about this.

……

Nuliang Rikusheng didn't know what his grandfather and Mr. Kurokawa said, anyway, the afternoon passed in a blink of an eye, and it was Wakana who reminded him in a low voice in the evening, and it was only then that Nuliang Yubai remembered that this was his grandson's tutor.

So Lu Sheng had an hour to get to know this person again.

Hua Piao didn't tell him anything, but just asked him to learn from Hei Chuan, "I will also be admitted to Dongda University in the future," Hua Piao said behind the two of them.

Hearing this, Lu Sheng's feet slipped, is it so easy to get into Dongda University?

Entering Lu Sheng's room, everything here is ancient.

During the day, Lu Sheng was still a little shy, so he took out his textbook very politely and asked, "Teacher...do you major in history?"

"Not selected yet, currently studying the basics at the Liberal Arts Institute."

"Basic knowledge what?"

"Mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology..."

"Should the history majors of Zhizhi Newspaper also learn this?"

"Yeah," Kurokawa asked his soul, "Why?"

It cannot be said that Kurokawa was a teacher for the first time. When he migrated from southeast to northwest on Honshu Island, he once worked as a teacher in Terakoya. first.

He first considered Lu Sheng's grasp of knowledge, and then marked out the weak spots. After further investigation, Lu Sheng's knowledge was not bad, and he might have mixed the blood of the two races, giving full play to their respective excellent genes.

While monitoring homework, Lu Sheng asked about the university by the way. After all, he is already a high school student.

Kurokawa: "Do you want to apply for a major in the future?"

Lu Sheng: "I haven't thought about it yet. I might choose something like international relations? Haha, I just feel that the relationship between humans and monsters is very complicated, and it is more difficult to solve than the racial problems in the world."

Lu Sheng continued: "...I can't openly say in front of everyone that I am the grandson of the general of the Nuliang group, the future general of the third generation."

"Monsters, you can't appear in this world openly."

"Even we used to be creatures of this land."

"In the future..."

"I still hope that I can be a pure person and not be caught in a dilemma between two worlds."

"Oh."

Kurokawa nodded dispensably.

Lu Sheng asked: "The monsters in Nuliang's house don't agree with my idea, does the teacher also think I'm cowardly?"

Kurokawa raised his pen and drew an arrow on the notebook, "A person who makes a certain decision and can bear the consequences of this decision is not cowardly, even if it is fleeing on the battlefield, this kind of samurai-dao spirit will Contemptuous behavior, as long as he can accept the oncoming abuse and the expulsion of others, and can live his own life, it is still not cowardly."

He knocked on the table, "It's just that I don't want to die for someone who has nothing to do with it, isn't it normal?"

"But after this person ran away, he found that his friends were alienated from him, his relatives despised him, and his lover scolded him. After that, he felt regretful. He thought that he should not escape and was very eager to save him. At the same time, he thought, 'If I died at that time It would have been nice to have done that', which I generally view as cowardly."

Kurokawa put a cross on the arrow, "Make the next decision, and you can't bear the consequences of this decision, so you have the idea of ​​evasion."

"This is cowardice as I understand it."

Lu Sheng seems to understand, after all, he is not thinking, nor is he in Edo City like Kurokawa, who has been discussing life, death, and responsibility with a literary youth for decades. , what is the basis of human beings.

But he felt that he should think hard about this problem.

……

The tutor's salary is settled daily. After Kurokawa received his salary that day, he didn't have to ask Nuliangzhai to eat there. Instead, he bought fresh snacks on the way home and shared them with Kiemon.

Just knocked on the door.

Three footsteps sounded inside the house.

Kiemon opened the door in a panic, and nervously told Kurokawa that his tanuki parents had come to see him. Kiemon was abandoned back then, and it was these two monsters who adopted him.

Kiemon told Kurokawa that Tanuki's parents are very traditional monsters who don't like industrialized trains, subways and airplanes, and don't like TVs, mobile phones and radios.

"An antique after all."

Kiemon asked Kurokawa not to reveal that he is currently becoming an Internet celebrity. After all, in the thinking of the older generation, being an Internet celebrity is a youthful job and will not last long.

When Kurokawa entered the door, he saw two fluffy brown civet cats sitting in front of the red tea table, looking like old country farmers, wearing bunts, with a white cloth tied on their heads, and holding teacups in their hands. After seeing Kurokawa coming in, The two civet cats, who were identical—at least Kurokawa couldn't tell the difference stood up and bowed to Kurokawa.

"Our children have been taken care of by you for so many days, I really trouble you."

"That's not true. On the contrary, I have been taken care of by him a lot."

"what?"

The civet cat parents were surprised.

"Kiemon...he is my spiritual support, and he will help me every time I encounter setbacks."

It's true, the bulk of the rent comes from Kiemon.

Kurokawa really relies on Kiemon a lot.

It's right for the civet cat's parents to breathe. It's normal for people to take care of the cat and rely on the rua cat to obtain spiritual energy.

The parents of the two civet cats rushed over from Shikoku. It is said that they took the Kaimi Express, a way of travel among monsters founded by Kraken.

"Kiemon left his hometown in Shikoku and came to Tokyo to make a living. It's really worrying."

The civet cat's parents said again: "We don't want our children to become monsters, as long as they can have a stable job."

"Hey, if you can enter the Huamao group, it would be great to be an ordinary salary earner."

The raccoon cat's parents speak with sincerity, and they really seem to be human old parents who let their children take the civil service exam. It seems that all parents in the world are the same.

"Kiemon!"

The civet cat's father shouted angrily, "You haven't caused any trouble to others, have you?" Turning his head and said in a gentle voice, "If the child has caused you any inconvenience, please forgive me."

Kiemon's weight looks like he was spoiled by his family.

He sat on the seat obediently and obediently, and he would not act coquettishly and say "I won't", and then obediently admit "yes, yes" for a while.

The raccoon parents brought raccoon specialties from Shikoku, tea and tea sets.

After all, civet cats in Shikoku are very close to temples, and are famous for their tea sets.

Kurokawa and Kiemon invited Tanuki's parents to dinner, and asked them to stay in the rental house for a few days.But the civet cat's parents waved their hands and resolutely refused, saying, "We won't stay here to bother you."

"I'm going back to Awa in Shikoku tonight."

Kurokawa and Kiemon sent them out, and Kiemon suddenly expressed emotion from the Hokupyu clan, "Oh, I really miss my hometown."

As he spoke, he began to wipe away tears, "I didn't expect them to come to Tokyo alone to look for me with such a shy and conservative civet cat."

"woo woo woo woo."

Seeing Kiemon crying endlessly.

Kurokawa had no choice but to go to the supermarket to buy some cat food to comfort him. When he was shopping in the supermarket, he suddenly heard a commotion outside, saying, "Wow, so cute."

Kurokawa walked out curiously, and saw two familiar brown figures.

Wearing a sun hat, colorful beach clothes, and two gold necklaces around his neck, he walked swaggeringly in the interface.

Many girls screamed and kept taking pictures.

Those two guys seemed to be used to this scene, and walked their own way without moving.

Heichuan sent out a black mist to follow behind the two of them.

Followed to a speakeasy.

The racial distribution in the bar is very complicated, there are three races of black, white and yellow, and all kinds of monsters.

I saw those two guys boarded the stage in the center of the bar, jumped up and took off the microphone, and put on a very cool pose, "Let me hear your voices—"

The voice was like a sea tide, and the figure of the black mist began to shake.

The two guys were singing and singing, and suddenly three monsters jumped onto the stage and joined them, each with an instrument, giving the speakeasy guests an impromptu rock and roll.

After singing, the cool civet cat pointed to the sky with one hand and the ground with the other, "We are—"

"Hundred ghosts walk at night." The crowd below shouted.

"The principle is—" the civet cat shouted.

"All evil is not to be avoided—" the crowd roared.

Hi it's over.

The civet cat's parents turned around happily.

Turning around, he saw Kurokawa Misami standing at the front of the stage.

"..."

"..."

"Haha, haha, what a coincidence."

In the end, Tanuki's parents revealed the truth of the matter. It turned out that the two of them were also monsters who came to Tokyo when they were young. Because of their love of rock music, they formed the band "Hundred Ghosts of the Night".

"Of course no one is young yet."

"We ended up back in Shikoku and continued our previous lives."

"I didn't expect an old friend to suddenly tell us that an old fan from a long time ago came to him and hoped to meet the Hyakki Night Walk again."

"...So, we came by plane."

"By the way, take a look at Kiemon."

The two raccoon parents who don't like industrialized trains, subways, airplanes, TVs, mobile phones and radios raised their fingers nervously and told Kurokawa, "Don't tell Kiemon."

Kurokawa nodded.

Thinking of Kiemon who was crying at home, I decided to make him happy for a while.
