Chapter 173: Brother Xiaoyanagi

The ghost hunter couldn't stand it anymore, and quietly released the true yuan to support the bottom of the barrel in the well and secretly help Koyanagi.

"What's going on?" Koyanagi only felt a little less stressed, and easily lifted the bucket up.

Just when she was puzzled, there was a cat meow outside the backyard wall, Xiao Yanagi looked happy after hearing it, and immediately looked left and right to make sure that there was no one around before returning to the cat meow, at this time a thin and short boy responded to the sound and climbed over the wall.

I saw that the young man was short and slender, and if he looked closely, his height was even a little shorter than Xiao Yanagi, and it was obvious that he was malnourished, thin like a monkey. He is dressed in luxurious clothes, but the decoration of some precious jade pendants is a little awkward. At this time, he carried in his hand a basket that was wider than his chest and abdomen.

"Xiaoyanagi - has anyone bullied you again?" The young man was originally in a good mood, but after seeing the tears in the corners of Xiaoyanagi's eyes, his face darkened, and his gentle and loving brother was like a snake and scorpion for a moment, and his cold and vicious eyes appeared on an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, even the ghost hunter was startled.

"No! no!" Koyanagi quickly twisted his head to the side and wiped away his tears.

"It's not because I'm so happy to see my brother, I can eat delicious food!" Xiao Liutou turned back with a smile on his face, and his smile was as cute as a child.

"Oh! Come on, little glutton, I've brought you chicken legs!" the young man relented, put away his horrifying eyes, and smiled again.

"Ahh

"Wow, there are chicken legs, duck legs, and beef in sauce!" said Koyanagi happily as he lifted the white cloth from the basket.

"Uh! I knew you were back, so I deliberately didn't eat!" Koyanagi looked up and explained to the boy as if he had thought of something.

"Oh, my sister and I have a heart! Of course!hahahaha!" the boy laughed awkwardly, easing the stiffness of his expression, not letting Koyanagi notice his emotions.

"Are these clothes going to be washed tonight? I'll wash them for you, and you eat them first!"

"No, no, I'll be able to wash it soon!" Xiao Yanagi hurriedly put down the vegetable basket in his hand and came to stop the boy.

"Go, go, don't come and get in my way! Look! I told you that you can't be lazy in a big family, otherwise how can you wash the clothes piled up together for a few days?"

"I've been working for the past two days, so I'm so busy that I'm just going to help you do something!" the boy teased as he rolled up his cuffs and walked to the well. Koyanagi couldn't stop it, so he had to sit on the stone steps next to him and eat.

"Brother, what have you done? Why do you often afford to buy so many delicious foods? The last few times I asked you, you always said that next time you told me, you have to tell me no matter what happens this time!" Xiao Yanagi suddenly thought of something, stopped the chopsticks in his hand, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Oh, why are you as troublesome as your parents? Could it be that you also suspect me of going to the trap and deceive? Don't you know what kind of person your brother is? Your brother is a handsome and beautiful young man who can do everything from heaven to earth!" the young man complained impatiently, and jokingly tried to divert the topic.

Hearing this, Xiaoyanagi put down the chopsticks in his hand, put the vegetable basket on the ground, and looked at the boy with a smile.

A few times ago, I quietly went behind my parents' backs to help others do manual work, so I'm embarrassed to tell you, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it if you're sad!"

"Can you buy so many things with the money you get from doing manual work?" Koyanagi put away his smile and whispered with his head down, obviously angry.

"Oh, well, well, I don't really make much money with my small strength!So—so—I just ask for food on the side of the road when I get off work!," said the boy, scratching his head, bowing his head shyly. Koyanagi's lowered head suddenly burst into tears.

"Xiaoyanagi! You-don't cry! Don't worry! I won't ask for food now! The boss of the place where I work is very good, and when he saw that I was filial and willing to work hard, he accepted me as a follower, and asked me to help him supervise the work of the workers, and it was okay to help him keep accounts with the things our father taught!"

"Look, I've already changed into a pretty outfit! Don't worry, it won't take me long to make enough money to redeem you!" said the young man with a grin, and everything was said lightly.

"Brother! Thank you for your hard work! Xiaoyanagi is useless, I can't help you, and you still often—often bring a lot-"

"Eh, silly girl, what are you talking about? You're my sister! It's right for my brother to take care of my sister! Eat quickly, it's not good when it's cold!" the boy laughed, his sunny smile shining in the moonlight.

"Eun!" Koyanagi wiped away his tears and ate with a smile, this time eating extra sweet.

However, the ghost hunter saw the clue, and the boy was lying. The clothes he was wearing were far from being equipped by an ordinary account office, and besides, his words flickered, and there were many suspicious points, so he could only deceive a little girl like Xiaoyanagi.

Koyanagi asked about his parents while eating, and the boy answered one by one while washing his clothes diligently, and from time to time he would tell one or two anecdotes that made Koyanagi laugh. After Koyanagi was full, he wanted to wash piles of clothes with the boy, but was strongly rejected by the boy. In the end, Koyanagi had to sit on the sidelines and watch the boy and chat with him.

During this period, Koyanagi accidentally said several times that he had missed a bad encounter when he lived in the house, and every time he hunted ghosts, he saw the young man deliberately avoiding Koyanagi's gaze, and his eyes became ruthless in an instant, and then he talked to Koyanagi and returned to the original state. Those pair of eyes are by no means the eyes that a simple eleven or twelve-year-old boy should have.

The ghost hunter also noticed that the palms of the boy's slender and dark hands were worn by pulling the hemp rope on the bucket, and that they were red from the cold water at night, and the broken parts were soaked white, while his face looked as if he had nothing to do, and the wounds on the upper part of the boy's neck and arms that he wanted to hide but wanted to cover up in the eyes of the hunter.

Under the moonlight, the backyard of the mansion was empty, and the brother and sister were talking, laughing, and talking happily.

"By the way, brother, an uncle named Ghost Hunter came to the house and was very kind to me! I told him that you often come to see me, and he said that he wanted to see you, do you want to see him?" said Koyanagi.

"What?ghost hunter??" The boy looked back sharply, looking a little panicked. Koyanagi was taken aback by the boy's suddenness. Only then did the young man realize the situation and quickly turned around.

"I! I don't want to see him!"

"I'm not a guest in this house after all, so it's not good to see him like this! besides, he's an outsider after all, if—" The boy said no more.

"Don't worry, Uncle Ghost Hunter is a good person, he knows that the fat man is not a good thing, and when he came, he didn't allow the fat man to get close to him for half a step-" Xiao Liu hurriedly began to explain.

"Xiaoyanagi, don't mention my affairs to anyone, including the person you trust the most! I can't trust anyone!" the young man interrupted her and said seriously for the first time.

"This—Eun!" Xiao Yanagi nodded knowingly, although the little girl believed in ghost hunting, but since her brother didn't want to meet, then she couldn't say anything more.

It was until midnight that the boy finished washing his clothes before saying goodbye to Koyanagi, and then the boy lifted the basket and climbed over the wall, and the ghost hunter followed out out out of curiosity. I saw that as soon as the originally sunny boy climbed out of the wall and left Koyanagi's sight, he immediately changed into a person.

"Hmph! The old woman in the house dared not to give Xiaoliu rice to eat, I understood your old age, so I didn't warn you, hehe! You old immortal, okay!"

"There are also those subordinates, a few of those clothes are obviously subordinates, they dare to pile up their own clothes for Xiaoliu to wash, I see if you have any dog deaths! Phew! and let Uncle Ben wash it all night!" The young man's sunny and refreshing temperament disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a ruffian and swearing.

"Phew!What a dog is dressed in rags, and it's so expensive!," the boy tore off his clothes and hung them on his shoulders, and swaggered off the other basket that had been left outside the wall.
