The girl didn't know that the youkai she was thinking about was right behind him.

On Purple's body, the originally gorgeous purple feathers turned gray, and the fair skin also became shriveled, like a withering flower.

The only thing that remains unchanged is probably the pair of eyes that look at the girl.

I've seen monsters before, but I can only say that I know some 'yokai basics' and the like.

"The bird is a kind of harpy demon with a high poison. Soak its feathers in wine, it will make the internal organs rot and die, the strength is very strong, but also because the feathers are highly poisonous, they are very fragile, every time they spread their wings, they will also poison the donkey itself, look at the appearance of this donkey, there is probably only one chance to spread its wings. ”

Shui Yu's voice reached Su Shang's ears.

Because he had already sensed that Shui Yu was coming to his side, Su Sheng was not surprised.

"I see."

Su Sheng looked at the girl who had been by the girl's side, and looked very cautious, not letting the girl touch her at all.

……

"It's so hot, it's summer again."

The girl sat on a chair in front of the house, holding a watermelon in her hand, but she was screaming hot.

Purple stood in front of the girl, as if to shield him from the sun, but at this time he had become skinny, and even the feathers on his body had withered. But even so, he was still desperately shielding the girl from the sun.

The head hung down to the girl's face, and the orange eyes were probably moist because the girl couldn't see herself even then.

He remembers that summer, he just took a break here and continued his journey. Everything around him was like the rest of the world, the blue sky, the green trees moving in the wind, the sun shining, everything was the same as many places he had been.

And only that girl is probably the only difference.

Although he was curious that the girl could see himself, he didn't think much about it because the girl wasn't the first person he met who could see him.

I wanted to fly away like this, but the next day I saw the girl again, and learned from the girl that she had come to the forest just for fun.

After all, he knew that there were also harmful monsters in the forest, so he thought about scaring the girl so that he would come back to the forest after he left.

But in exchange for that bright smile that he couldn't forget.

Day 3, Day 4, Day 5

He likes to travel, he has forgotten about travel and has made this place his home.

When the girl runs happily in the forest, he will fly in the air and watch the girl, who originally wanted to see the world with his short life, but now he only has a girl in his eyes.

Sometimes, he often questioned whether he really lived in this world. As a bird, you may die quietly at any time.

But when I saw the girl's smile, the impression of my existence turned into an affirmation.

Even for the sake of the girl, he spread his wings again, making his body, which was already extremely weak, become on the verge of disintegration. But he still clearly felt that the girl seemed to have given him another life, fresh and full of vitality. Even if this life is short, it is like a morning dew moth.

……

The blood-red sunset spread into a long wisp in the sky, and the glass windows of the house reflected the dying red.

This is the second change in the thoughts of the guide mother.

The girl turned into an old man, lying on a bench in the courtyard, with a very kind expression, and her eyes fixed on a clearing not far away.

The old man looked much older than Su Sheng had seen before.

The purple youkai also looked even more gray and dry.

"Sure enough, in the end, Lord Purple didn't come." The old man said with a wry smile.

"No, he's right next to you, why can't you see it, you can still see it before!"

Probably sensing that the old man was about to finish her life, Su Sheng shouted loudly.

Completely forgetting that the old man couldn't hear and couldn't see her, just like the old man couldn't see Zi who was always by his side.

"Is there anything I can do?"

Su Shang turned his head to look at Shui Yu.

"It's just the girl's thoughts, it's unwilling, you can't do anything." Mizumi shook his head.

Su Sheng clenched her fists, looking unwilling.

But at this time, I saw that Zi stretched out her hand and gently held the old man's wrinkled cheeks.

The parched skin became moisturized, and the withered feathers shone brightly again in the bright sun.

"I'm sorry, because I didn't want you to see me like that."

Zi said softly, her voice was a little mortgaged, and her tone was very gentle.

"Purple-sama"

The old man looked at him stupidly, with surprise and tears.

"I'm sorry, but I finally touched Xiaoying's face, it's so warm."

"I've finally met you Purple."

The purple snowflake-like feathers fell when Purple flew into the sky with an old man named Xiaoying.

The snowflakes fell on Su Shang's body, which was a feather without toxins, with a faint warmth, like human body temperature, warming people's hearts, and finally slowly decomposing in the air.

Xiaoying was as she was when she was in middle school, floating in the air with Purple, and the smile on her face was as bright and dazzling as the nameless flower in summer.

"It's so warm, such a warm feather, probably only we can see it."

Su Shang looked at the snowflakes in the sky.

"Yes."

Mizumi replied softly.

"It's amazing to miss this kind of thing. Like a drug, it permeates the limbs and bones, following you like a shadow, making people painful, but also making people unable to let go. Slowly, I didn't feel that I was missing, I just felt that the steel nails were driven into the bones, and the blood in the heart was slightly turbulent, and the whole body would be in severe pain. And the slightest surging is all because of a name. When I think about it, I burn myself. Neither humans, nor youkai nor gods can avoid it. ”

Listening to Shui Yu's words, Su Shang's eyes moistened for some reason.

"They'll be happy."

"Yes."

……

There is no night when the crimson afterglow gradually falls, there is no purple snow, and there is no happiness that the one person and one demon finally revealed. Under the quiet moonlit night, only the sound of the wind blowing when Su Sheng came back to his senses and saw the surroundings clearly, he found that he had returned to Gao Tianyuan's residence.

"Are you back?"

Su Shang muttered to herself.
