Chapter 10: Reconciliation
The next day, Natsume, who had calmed down, began to think about Sakurahaku's words that day, and that day said to herself, "Sakurahaku is friends now, right?" Sakura Bai only became like that after this sentence, and now I want to say, "Ahahaha, how can such a high-level existence of mine become friends with a little ghost like you, I just watch you have fun." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info "It's really not normal, Sakura Bai at that time was really awkward, Natsume didn't think Sakura Bai was a person who would say such a thing, but why did Sakura Bai suddenly say such a thing? Could it be that Sakurabai really doesn't want to be friends with me?
With a long sigh, Natsume planned to go out for a walk, seeing that his bad mood envoys and monsters were not good at stopping his actions, he went out by himself, but he was afraid that something would happen to him again, so Yakumo Yi quietly followed Natsume with a few divine envoys.
Sakurabai here also felt uncomfortable, "I shouldn't have a chance to say sorry to Natsume again, right?" He won't want to see me anymore, will he? Even so..."Sakura Bai put her right index finger into the paper mask that covered the upper half of her face with one eye drawn on it, wiped away the tears she had left, and after putting her hands together in eleven rays of light, Sakura Bai transformed into a cute kitten with blue gray and white, and jumped down from the tree and ran into the distance, looking for the way Natsume used to go to and from school every day. After looking for a bamboo forest behind a large meadow, looking for the bottom of the roadside bridge, carefully watching every house along the roadway, passing by the stone statue of the Jizo King Bodhisattva on the roadside, and finally squatting under the open riverside grass to watch the sunset, Sakurabai suddenly found Natsume sitting alone by the river. Natsume had been sitting here for an afternoon, silently in a daze as he watched the small fish swimming at the bottom of the babbling river. Sakurahiro looked at Natsume from afar, "So he's here", Sakurabai crawled out from under the bushes behind Natsume, "Huh? Natsume, who was awakened, turned around, "It turned out to be a cat" and reached out to the cute cat, "Come here", held it high on the cat's forelimbs, and then held it in his arms, rubbing his face against the cat lying on his shoulder. Sakurabai's cat turned sideways to look at Natsume with his eyes closed and a happy face, "You smell so good!", "It turns out that he still has such a gentle expression" Sakurabai, who was hugged by Natsume, thought, "But I can't face him in person anymore." Sakura Bai climbed up and took the initiative to rub Natsume's cheek, "It's so gentle, it's really a coveted happiness!" I wish I could be by his side forever." Natsume opened her mouth to interrupt Sakurahaku's thoughts, "I'm so sad, Sakura Bai treated me like this, turned her face for no reason, and left without saying a word, I'm so sad." This is the first time I have taken the initiative to make friends, and sure enough, he still doesn't want to be friends with me, right? A tear fell on the ground and splashed and disappeared into the world, Sakura Bai's cat's eyes at this time kept shedding tears, and the tears reflected the lonely Natsume "I'm a human being, and I don't understand the idea of monsters, but loneliness is very sad, I still understand, I still know... Now I have family members who love me, and I don't want them to be as lonely as I used to be. ”
A few days later, Natsume's mood still did not improve, Inari called Natsume into the tea room, the two knelt face to face and sat in the middle of a set of tea sets, Inari introduced, "This is the best rock tea in Wuyi Mountain, northern Fujian, the king of tea, the big red robe, the shape is curved, the color is dark brown or dark green, or with sand green, or with green brown, or with treasure color." The cords are tightly knotted, or thin or strong, and the soup color is orange to golden, clear and bright. The aroma is flowery, fruity, sharp, long, clear, or like peach, orchid, osmanthus, **, etc. The taste is mellow, smooth and sweet, with a unique "rock rhyme". The bottom of the leaf is soft and shiny, with green leaves and red borders, or red spots on the leaf margin, or toad skin. It has the pharmacological effect of strengthening the stomach and nourishing the stomach. Inari poured boiling water into the teapot and teacups to warm and wash them to raise the temperature of the tea set, and then poured it into a shallow dish of purple sand called a tea boat. Use a teaspoon to put the tea leaves of Da Hong Pao into the teapot, until the teapot is about two-thirds, and the action is indescribably elegant and natural. Boiling water is poured into the pot, until it is full, the tea is scraped off with bamboo chopsticks, and then the water is poured into the large teacup called Chahai, and the fragrance of tea in the room is overflowing in an instant. Raise the boiling kettle and pour it into the tea set, make the tea leaves rotate, cover the kettle and pour boiling water, so that the temperature inside and outside the kettle is the same. Then wash the teacups with a warm pot and water to moisten the tea, and then surround the four teacups together, and shuttle between the four cups in a can, each cup is seven points full. At this time, the tea in the jar was finished, and the rest of the rest was raised little by little and lit into the four cups in turn. Finally, he handed Natsume a small cup and let him taste it, and when Natsume finished tasting it, he put down the cup and drank the remaining three cups for him one after another.
"Have you calmed down?" Inari asked.
"Well, it's much better," Natsume replied.
"Are you still sad about that dryad?"
"Well, Sakura Bai is obviously not such a person, but why did he do this? I don't understand. ”
"If you don't understand, then go to him and ask him for clarification! If you ask it, you won't regret it. ”
Natsume was instantly awakened by Inari's words, his eyes lit up and he looked up at Inari, Inari touched Natsume's head, "Go if you want, but I don't want you to be so unhappy anymore, okay?" ”
Natsume nodded with tears in her eyes, and withdrew sideways and ran out of the house.
Just like a few days ago, Natsume ran to the cherry blossom tree out of breath, but when he looked up, the tree was empty, and he didn't see the white figure. "Sakura Bai, you come out, you come out, I have something to ask you, come out quickly!" In this way, Natsume shouted for a long time, until his voice began to be hoarse, his physical strength began to lose strength, and he touched the tree with his hand when he sat around the trunk of the tree, "I know you are here, you can hear me, do you not like me, and I don't want to be friends with me, so you say such things, so you avoid me?" As he spoke, Natsume, who was still young, fell asleep, and a person separated from the tree with a flash of white light, walked up to Natsume, squatted down, gently pulled his hair, touched his cheek, and gently said to Natsume, who was asleep: "It's not that I don't like you, I just like you too much, but there is still a difference between humans and monsters after all, your life is too short, and I can't afford to suffer again." Suddenly, Natsume opened his eyes and grabbed Sakurabaku's wrist tightly with one hand, "Is that okay as long as I'm not human?" "Don't let him wake up suddenly and be scared to run away, Sakurabai obviously didn't hear what Natsume said, but kept thinking about how to break free from Natsume's hand and was afraid of hurting him.
"I won't let you go," Natsume said firmly.
"Is it possible for you to be friends with me as long as I'm not human?" Natsume asked Sakura Bai again
Sakurabai was confused after hearing it clearly this time, "What, Natsume, you're not a youkai, but the breath on your body is obviously human, I can't be mistaken." ”
"It's only temporary, anyway, you'll find out when you and I go home." After saying that, Natsume pulled Sakurabai and walked towards his house, "Natsume let go of me" Natsume tightly pulled Sakurabai's sleeve so that he couldn't escape, even if Sakurabai wanted to use his magic power to break free of Natsume's hand, he was surprised to find that his demon power seemed to be sealed, and it had no effect on Natsume, so he had no choice but to let Natsume pull it away. It didn't take long for the two to come to the main gate of Fushimi Inari Shrine, when Sakura Bai saw the tall torii gate close at hand, the torii gate in Sakuraba's eyes exuded the light of divine power to show the strength of the gods who lived here, and the entire shrine was shrouded in a huge enchantment from the beginning of the torii, which would be purified in minutes if you were recklessly enteredΣ(°△°|||) ︴。 Hurriedly called Natsume: "Natsume, I can't move forward, this is the shrine of Lord Inari God, and youkai like me will be purified if you go in." "No, trust me, we're friends, aren't we?" Natsume turned her head and smiled at Sakura. Sakurahiro was fascinated by Natsume's bright smile and forgot about the dangerous barrier that was close at hand, probably Sakurabai thought that Natsume would not harm him from the bottom of his heart. As soon as the feet of the two stepped into the barrier of the torii gate, the scenery in front of them suddenly turned, and the scenery was still the same as far as the eye could see, but the tourists and pedestrians disappeared, but they were able to enter the shrine. When these people knelt down on one knee and shouted in unison, "Young Master", Σ(°△°|||) ︴Σ(°△°|||) _(This is Natsume, who was also surprised by Sakuraba's side) "This... It's ......," Sakura said with a shudder. Ahem, cough Natsume said embarrassedly and hesitantly: "Uh... This is... Well, this is our retainer, and it's my family." "Young master, the Lord asked us to invite this guest over." Yakumo Yi took a step sideways from the crowd and said to Natsume, Natsume nodded and still pulled Sakuraba's sleeve and walked forward, and the samurai and divine envoys automatically divided into two teams in front Yakumo stretched out his hand in front to lead the way and said to Sakurabai: "Please Mr. Sakurabai, please go this way." Sakura Bai asked a little puzzled, "How do you know my name?" Yakumo looked down mysteriously and smiled: "Mr. Sakurabai is a friend of our young master, of course we are very 'clear'. Sakurahiro felt that although this person had a faint smile, it made him shudder, and the oracle and samurai who followed behind also faintly revealed a strong hostility, but when he turned to look at it, this feeling disappeared without a trace, and Sakurabai only felt goosebumps all over his body.
As soon as people hugged Sakura Bai and Natsume to the main hall of the shrine, Natsume saw Doseiji standing at the door, "Uncle Doseiji, this is my friend Sakurahiro I brought him back to the house as a guest, is Dad here?" Then he turned to Sakura Bai and said, "Sakura Bai, this is my uncle Daocheng Temple" Daocheng Temple Zhong interrupted, "My subordinates are just ordinary people, how dare I be the uncle of Young Master Natsume, Madame told the young master to go to the main house immediately when he comes back, Madame said that there is something important to find the young master." When he spoke to Natsume, he stared at Sakura White with his eyes full of malice that could not be concealed.
Natsume hesitated a little, "So, what about Sakuraba?" ”
"Don't worry about this, the Lord will take good care of Mr. Sakuraba" After speaking, he pushed open the door of the main hall and said, "Please".
Sakura Bai sensitively felt the unbearable malice in the main hall, picked up Natsume's body, and cried and shouted, "Natsume, don't go in, it's so scary inside!" ”
Natsume comforts, "It doesn't matter, my dad is very good, he is very gentle" (this is Natsume who doesn't know his father's bad character, because Inari is only gentle to Natsume). The impatient Dosei Temple bell pulled Sakura Bai off Natsume's body, threw it into the main hall, instantly closed the door with his backhand, and then touched Natsume's head, and said to Natsume: "We will take care of it here, and we will not neglect the guests, so you go to Amaterasu-sama!" Your mother is in a hurry. "Okay" Natsume hurriedly left after agreeing, but he didn't see the Daocheng Temple bell after he left, pinched the knuckles of his fingers and clicked, and pushed the door into the main hall with a fierce look and excitement.
