In the courtyard, Zizi hurriedly came to Yukiko's side and saluted respectfully and said, "Teacher, are you angry that I am arrogant?" ”

Xuezi shook her head bitterly: "How can it be, the people in this remote countryside are stubborn and barbaric, the economy is poor and backward, the teacher's ability is limited, not only can he not cheer up the shrine, but even your source of food and accommodation cannot be solved, if you want to follow him through a good life, the teacher will only be happy, how can he be angry." ”

Hearing this, a hint of amusement flashed in Zizi's beautiful eyes: "But what I decided just now was to take you with me, and without your consent." ”

Yukiko's face was straight: "I won't go with you, I have my own things to do, and I want to help more people." ”

Zizi's eyes rolled, and he said in a light tone: "It's useless, I've already decided, and the words have been spoken, that adult is also serious, you don't want me to be a guy who goes back on his word, leave an unwanted influence on that adult, in that case, my future life will be ..........." As he spoke, Zizi's face collapsed, revealing a miserable and bitter expression.

Yukiko was a little angry and said, "You........... You.......... How can you do that. ”

Zizi said proudly: "Didn't you say that you have always treated me as your child, why, what the child said now, do you want to regret it as an adult?" ”

Yukiko said with a hint of eagerness, "I........ I didn't want to go back, I just ......... It's just that. ”

Zizi smiled and said: "It's okay if you don't plan to regret it, then hurry up and pack up your things, people are still waiting for us, I'll go prepare firewood, since I'm leaving, this shrine with your shrine should also be burned." ”

Yukiko's face darkened, and she stood silently, not knowing what to say for a while.

Seeing this, Zizi scolded a little impatiently: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and pack your things." ”

Being scolded by the disciple in such a tone of teaching, Yukiko nodded miserably, and slowly turned around and walked towards the side of the shrine.

"Sure enough, you've always been so kind, so kind that you can't even refuse those rude requests, Yukiko, it's really like your name, how can I feel at ease to throw you aside."

A murmur sounded, and at some point, Azusa stuck behind Yukiko and grabbed her arm.

Hearing this, Xuezi's eyes lit up slightly, and she said with a hint of hope: "Zizi, you!" ”

Zizi shook her head slightly: "Teacher, I know what you think, what you said just now is not a joke, you must leave with me." ”

"You!" Yukiko was overjoyed for a moment, and became gloomy again.

Azusa sighed lightly: "Teacher, please forgive me for my rudeness just now, as a god, the shameful idea of taking the initiative to follow others should not appear to you." ”

"So I'm going to make my own assertion and take it as my own opinion, which may be a little displeasing to the adult, but as long as it can protect your face, it's nothing."

Hearing this, Yukiko's eyes moved, and she suddenly realized.

It's no wonder that Azusa, who has always been respectful and polite to her, would do this kind of thing, the original purpose was to show Sukee that this is all her Azusa alone, and it has nothing to do with her Yukiko.

Through this, she fully retains the last bit of dignity as a god.

Thinking about this, the little resentment that had just risen in Yukiko's heart instantly melted.

After a pause, she sighed and said, "Zizi, in fact, you don't have to do this, we have other ways out, as long as we .............." ”

Without giving her a chance to finish speaking, Zizi shook her head with a wry smile and interjected: "Teacher, after what happened just now, haven't you understood?" ”

"You are so naïve, and you think too much of other people, in fact, they are completely different from you, you are kind, kind, honest, friendly, and willing to suffer yourself for the sake of other people's lives better."

"And those people are vicious, mean, selfish, cold-blooded, and for the sake of their own better lives, they are willing to pass on their hardships to others, and are even willing to sacrifice others for this."

"This stark contrast, this kind of inferiority, is actually just a part of the microcosm of this world, and there are countless such guys in this land, in all places, in every corner, volatile their ungrateful nature."

"Even if you walk out and leave here intact, can you really be sure that you're not helping another group of these guys?"

Yukiko's face was stunned and fell into deep thought.

After a while, she replied softly, "I believe that there will always be more good people than bad people in the world, why don't we give it a try?" ”

"Try!" Azusa shook her head: "Will you kill someone?" Will you punish them? ”

Without waiting for Yukiko to answer, Azusa replied to herself: "No, not only will you not, but you will also find a way to teach them and teach them to do good deeds." ”

"But does this have a result?

"Nope!"

"There's one thing we haven't been able to understand all along, and that's what the previous adult gave me."

"That is, the tolerance of evil is the punishment of good, and a guy who goes around robbing with evil thoughts, if you don't take heavy precautions, they will only be more presumptuous, and they will not pay attention to exhortation and punishment."

"It's like these guys in the village, how many of them have been thinking about following Jiro Takekawa out to rob the travelers, you know? Do you know why they think that way? ”

was stunned by this call, and Yukiko was stunned in the courtyard, falling into imitation and contemplation.

Zizi didn't bother her either, and after saying these words, she also looked at the sky without saying a word, as if she felt that she was about to leave here, remembering what had happened over the years.

- Rustling, at some point, the sky sparkled with crystals, and the snowflakes that formed not long ago hit the snow on the eaves like shrunken bright petals, making a slight grinding sound.

It didn't take long for tiny goose feathers to start flying all over the sky.

The cold rushed into the gap in her neck, and Yukiko came to her senses, looking at Zizi beside her, she took a deep breath and said, "I understand, the villagers never said this to me, and you never said this before." ”

Zizi said lightly: "They were blinded by interests, so they didn't want to, and I just understood that it didn't take long, so I only said it now." ”

Yukiko smiled, "Thank you, Azusa." ”

Zizi waved his hand: "If you want to thank you, it should be me to thank you, without you, I don't have a chance to understand these truths." ”

After speaking, she exclaimed, "Eh, it's snowing, will the fire be affected if it burns?" ”

Yukiko nodded slightly, not knowing whether she was agreeing with the thank you or referring to the snowflakes affecting the fire, she turned to look at the path on the side of the Eye Shrine, and walked towards the side of the shrine with a slight smile.

However, she had only walked a few steps before she turned around and asked, "By the way, follow him away, do you have his consent?" I didn't seem to hear him say yes, did I? ”

Zizi's face was stunned: "Eh! It seems like........... Trouble! ”

.......................

After some soft grinding and hard bubbles in the house, Jie spread his hands and said helplessly: "You also know my destination, I want to go to a place called Musashi Country, to be honest, the road is a little far, and it will be very inconvenient to take you." ”

"But if you don't want to go alone to the city I offered, let's go together."

"However, although I can't do anything to drive people away, I have the ability to throw you aside, so don't mess with me along the way."

"Of course, if you come across a place you like on the way, then don't hesitate to stop, it may be a good choice for you."

Zizi said in a resolute tone: "Since you have decided to follow the adult, then when everything is based on the adult, please rest assured, we will never go against your will, let alone give up halfway." ”

Jie frowned: "I didn't mean that, I .......... Forget it, let's hit the road. ”

"Please wait, I'll go back." As she was about to go out, Zizi turned her head to look at the firewood that had been set up, took out the prepared fire fold and quickly stepped forward to light the pyre.

Looking at this scene, Jie Meiyu raised: "Why do you want to burn here?" ”

Azusa explained, "This is the teacher's spiritual land, and if it is not destroyed, it will have an impact on the teacher. ”

Susuke shook his head: "It's just a trivial matter, since you didn't build it, then give it back to them, I, Uchiha Suke, have never done such a stingy thing." ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand slightly.

Suddenly, Yukiko's heart outside the door sank, and she found that her connection with the shrine had been completely cut off.
