Chapter 16: Little Bell

The backyard is a little more dilapidated than the house in front of it, and it is much smaller, with a total of five rooms, but it is not uninhabitable, but it looks very shabby and messy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

When Tian Zhongqiu was close to the house, he saw a girl sitting on the edge of the house drinking tea.

The porch is a type of Japanese-style porch, which is the part of the floor outside the room with tatami mats in a Japanese-style house, and the porch located inside the house is called "rim side", and the one located outside the house is called "rim".

The girl was dressed in the same simple kimono that girls from ordinary families often wear, and she was about 10 years old, and she looked like an ordinary girl.

The girl also saw Tian Zhongqiu, and at this time, she held the teacup in her hand, looked at Tian Zhongqiu and said, "What happened just now?" How does it feel so wrong? ”

"Do you know those two lantern ghosts in the house?" Tian Zhongqiu didn't know whether the Zashiki boy in front of him was good or bad, so he stood in place and told the other party what happened just now.

When Tian Zhongqiu came back from the big city, he lived in the room in front of him for two days, during which he didn't feel anything abnormal, and then he also ran here under curiosity and met the seat boy Xiao Suzu, in general, he was not hurt in any way, so Tian Zhongqiu was willing to believe that the two lantern ghosts and this seat boy were all good.

Gingu thinks so, and although Izumi Nase doesn't say it, he obviously thinks so too, and this is the conclusion that Tanakata has reached.

"Strange...... How did you know your grandparents were lantern ghosts? Xiao Ling looked at Tian Zhongqiu, and at this time he felt a faint strange aura from the other party's body, and after tilting his head and sniffing at Tian Zhongqiu gently, he said strangely: "It's not a monster, it doesn't look like a human breath, is there anything strange on your body?" ”

Tian Zhongqiu sighed, walked to Xiao Ling's side, sat on the floor with Xiao Ling, looked at the desolate courtyard in front of him and said: "I don't seem to be an ordinary human now, I heard others say, what kind of guardian I am now, I captured a [worm] as my helper after awakening my ability, and then when I came back with a friend of the insect master, I saw the current head of the Nase family in the town, Nase Izumi, and when I came back, I found that the two in the house were lantern ghosts, After that, Izumi Nase sealed the two lantern ghosts, and it would take a year to recover. ”

Tian Zhongqiu told everything about it, and Tian Zhongqiu was in a very bad mood at this time.

But......

"What can I do? There's no one to do housework anymore! After hearing that the two lantern ghosts had been sealed, Xiao Ling immediately became anxious, which was even more anxious than when she heard that Tian Zhongqiu had become a guardian just now, and it seemed that this was a more important matter than Tian Zhongqiu.

Tian Zhongqiu was speechless, and his mood that had become very depressed because of the things at home also felt a little relieved at this time, so he said angrily: "Aren't you a Zashiki boy?" Can't you do some housework on your own? ”

Xiaoling looked at Tian Zhongqiu with disdain, and disagreed with Tian Zhongqiu's words, "Do you know what Zashiki boy do!?" ”

Tian Zhongqiu frowned, although he didn't know a lot of things, but in Tian Chuqiu's cognition, Zashiki boy was like a servant in the family, so he also said directly: "I remember that Zashiki boy is a kind of monster that brings good luck and happiness, right?" Can't you do some simple chores? ”

"Of course, but can you bear to dump so much housework on me, a boy like Zashiki who brings happiness to people?" Suzu can do a little housework, but too much will not work, and can only simply clean the place where she sleeps.

When Tian Zhongqiu heard this, he felt that superstition was not credible, and looked at Xiao Ling and said strangely: "Aren't you a Zashiki boy who can bring good luck?" Why is my family ......"

"Good luck is only relative, and I'm not the only one who is a boy in Zashiki, and I can't control people's life and death! It's just that because we can feel the monsters, we can make the house settle down a little most of the time, and ......" Xiaoling looked disgusted, looked at Tian Zhongqiu with contempt, and said impatiently: "Have you tried a little?" I'm just a boy, you can't ask too much! Besides, the original owner of this house has long passed away, and you and your family are only living here temporarily, and I am the real owner here! ”

That's right.,The monster around me is just a Zashiki boy.,It's not a top-level monster.,And Zashiki Tong's ability is obviously not as strong as the legend.。

However, what Xiaoling said attracted the attention of Tian Zhongqiu.

"Xiaoling, do you say that my grandparents are not the owners here?" Tian Zhongqiu asked.

Xiao Ling took a sip of tea, and then said as a matter of course: "Of course, although your grandfather is a little capable, but it is not enough to become my master, as for the original owner of this house, it is actually your grandfather's father, and the descendants after that slowly lost their original ability, so this place is slowly declining." ”

"So where are my grandparents now?" Tian Zhongqiu felt that the two old men should be gone, but he still wanted to confirm from Xiaoling.

"Of course it's dead! Otherwise, how could those two lanterns become humans! Suzu said as a matter of course, as if this was a normal thing.

Tian Zhongqiu didn't understand a lot, and he didn't know much about the common sense of this world, so he continued at this time: "Then do you know how my grandparents died? ”

Yingu said that the two lantern ghosts were not wild monsters, and they should not be murderers, and now Xiaoling said that the lantern ghosts can change into humans is related to the death of grandparents, so Tian Zhongqiu is very confused.

"I know this, although your grandmother can't see me, but before she died, she also came to me here and said something to the house, mainly because your parents didn't want to come back, and then there was no one to inherit here, and then when I felt like I was about to die, I knew that your parents were in a car accident, and then when I was dying, I summoned the lantern ghost ......, by the way, I remembered!" Xiao Ling suddenly remembered something, and at this time, she stood up and looked at Tian Zhongqiu condescendingly, "Your grandparents are planning to leave you some money so that you can go back to the city to live, so you take the money and leave quickly!" This will be my place from now on! ”
