The night is dark and windy, and in the middle of summer, you can hear the chirping of frogs and insects from time to time.

This is true even in the room.

"Gu Xuanniao, tell me the information you have gathered. Jiao Tu secretly left today, he should have gone to find Xia Mu. We need to hurry up and act. ”

Chen Beibei looked at Gu Xuaniao and said to her.

At this time, everyone was already in the room, and the light from the two kerosene lamps on the wall seemed a little dim, and the figures kept swaying with the shaking of the lamps.

"Master, there is an island that must be a gathering place for the descendants of the Kamo clan. There will be some connections between the island and the outside world, but this is limited to high-level personnel. Ordinary islanders spend almost their entire lives on the island......"

Gu Xuaniao looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.

"And what about the Kamo Ancestral Hall, and that Onmyoji? Didn't you find it? ”

At this time, Chen Beibei still wanted to act as soon as possible, so he directly asked the most direct question.

"The ancestral hall of the Kamo clan has been completely burned down, but judging from the wreckage, it should have been a very prosperous hall before it was burned down. When the Hemao Ancestral Hall was burned down, the soldiers guarding the Hemao Ancestral Hall had already been burned to death, leaving only one seriously injured. However, he is still unconscious, and it seems that he will die at any time. ”

Gu Xuaniao stood by the window, looked at the night outside, and said slowly.

"What about the Onmyoji who took Xia Mu away?"

Chen Beibei asked.

"I haven't found it yet, but I'll find out later, after all, she must have a close relationship with the Kamo family."

Gu Huoniao replied.

This is the first day of coming to this island, and it is not easy for Gu Xue Bird to be able to gather this information. And Gu Shou Bird's appearance looks very tired.

After all, if she keeps flying in the sky, it will also be very physically exhausting for her.

So at this time, Chen Beibei did not plan to continue to ask, nor did he plan to let Gu Huoniao continue to go out to find out the news, but was ready to let the gods have a good rest.

Gu Won Bird's body leaned against the window, and his eyes looked listless, just like that, it can be seen that Gu Won Bird is indeed very tired.

"Gu Xuanniao, today, you can have a good rest. Be careful, though, not to be discovered by the soldiers outside. ”

Chen Beibei looked at Gu Xuaniao and said to her.

When I asked to go ashore before, Gu Xue was not in the queue. This also meant that if the soldiers found the bird, even if it was human, it would raise suspicions.

"Yes, master."

Gu Shouniao yawned, and then continued, "If I can, I think I can let Yingcao go and save the soldier who was burned by the fire." After all, the people on this island seem to be quite kind. ”

"Okay, I got it. Auntie bird, you sleep. ”

After Chen Beibei finished speaking, he took the masculine god and Yingcao out together.

Zashiki Boy, Snow Girl, Guan Fox, and Xiaoluo Bride are all feminine gods, so they have to live in the same room with Gu Hou Bird at night.

……

"Yingcao, let's go now."

In the courtyard, Chen Beibei stood not far in front of Yingcao and said to her.

A lost cricket crawled wildly on the ground, making a few piercing cries from time to time.

"Hmm."

Yingcao nodded and replied.

At this time, although it was still night, Chen Beibei still had better go early. After all, Gu Xuaniao said that the person had been seriously injured by the fire and could be lost at any time.

If you can cure a soldier, you might be able to make a good impression on the people of this island.

Chen Beibei walked to the door alone, knocked on the door, and his voice attracted the attention of the guards outside the door: "What's the matter, it's the middle of the night, is there something wrong?" ”

The soldier was a little impatient, but he tried to maintain a calm attitude in his tone.

It was close to one o'clock in the evening.

"Ah, we want to go out for a walk, we have been adrift on the sea for a long time, and now we are suddenly ashore, but we can't sleep......"

Chen Beibei replied.

Obviously, this is just an excuse made by Chen Beibei. Naturally, it can't be said that there is such a thing as treating the burned soldier now, after all, this is the news brought by Gu Xuanniao.

In the eyes of the soldiers, it belonged to Chen Beibei, and they had not yet grasped the news.

If it comes out.

It will definitely arouse all kinds of questions and suspicions.

"How do you know that there are soldiers on the island who have been burned?"

"You're not going to sneak out while we're not looking, so you know, right?"

If the soldiers had asked that, it would have been difficult to answer.

"It's better to go to bed early in the middle of the night, what are you going out for a walk at this time?"

The soldier's tone remained calm.

It sounded like there was a hint of negotiating, which made Chen Beibei couldn't help but be happy.

Because it can be seen from here that the superiors of these soldiers did not give instructions to these soldiers to imprison Chen Beibei, but only monitored them.

Moreover, judging from the temper of these soldiers, as well as their attire and physical fitness, they are not a regular team, which Chen Beibei had already thought of when he first met these soldiers.

Many people living in isolated areas do not build real armies.

After all, it will take a lot of manpower and material resources to maintain the needs of the soldiers in the army, as well as the updating of equipment. And the people living in these small areas are not as large as those in the other countries.

So, for the people who lived on the islands that had been peaceful for a long time, the rotation of ordinary peasants into the army was the same as the shift system for work in the outside world. On the one hand, he protects the safety of his homeland, and on the other hand, he is engaged in normal agricultural work. It will be a good way to balance development and defend against foreign enemies.

Although such an army may seem irregular, it can contain all the inhabitants of the entire island.

In the event of a real invasion by a foreign enemy, as long as the beliefs are the same, it is still very strong.

At least it would be better to form a high-quality army than to recruit soldiers on a proportional basis.

Of course, this is only a somewhat idealistic approach for those countries that have been at peace for a long time and are small in number.

"It's rare to be able to walk on the shore, and it's really hard to suppress this feeling. So please be accommodating, and we'll just hang out and maybe fall asleep......"

Chen Beibei asked again.

The two soldiers outside talked in a low voice for a while, and finally agreed: "Okay, but you can only go out alone, and the others can only stay in the house obediently." ”

"Okay then."

Chen Beibei replied.

The door was opened by the soldiers, who looked like two soldiers in their forties, a little older, but still in good spirits.

There is also no coldness on the face that is characteristic of soldiers in the army.

On the contrary, they have the simplicity of ordinary farmers on their faces, and there is always a faint smile on their faces......

"You take us to the island, and then you have to trouble you in the middle of the night...... I'm so sorry! ”

Chen Beibei said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's been years since the island has arrived at a wanderer like you. If you want to go out for a walk, go for it. ”

The middle-aged soldier who spoke turned his gaze to his companion, and then continued: "But he will follow you at all times, this is the order of Lord Left Guard, and we dare not disobey it." ”

For this, it was completely expected by Chen Beibei, after all, even if they agreed to let Chen Beibei out, it was impossible to ignore him like that.

Chen Beibei and they are complete strangers to the inhabitants of this island, and they are also people with different surnames from outside.

Being on guard is a perfectly legitimate response.

"Well, that's no problem, there are people with you, and it won't happen to get lost......"

Chen Beibei said with a smile.

At this time, Chen Beibei walked out of the house, but Yingcao, who was standing in the yard, hurriedly ran over, and then said to Chen Beibei: "Brother, I also want to go together!" ”

"This ...... They said no......"

Chen Beibei's gaze fell on the two soldiers, and then he said with some embarrassment.

"Please let me go out for a walk with my brother, stay in the house, I'm going to die of depression......"

Dressed in green and tied in a long ponytail, Yingcao pleaded pitifully as she shook the hands of the two soldiers.

Maybe Yingcao's hand grabbed their arms too hard, so the two soldiers bared their teeth, but they still couldn't shout. After all, being pinched by a little girl and screaming in pain is indeed a little embarrassing for a strong man.

"Shhh...... Pain and pain......"

One of the soldiers was the first to shout.

"Uncle, let me go out with my brother, please, we'll be back in a while, okay......"

Yingcao continued to plead with the appearance of a harmless and weak girl.

"Okay, okay, you let it go......"

Presumably, the soldier felt that if he didn't agree, his hand might be pinched off by Yingcao, so he had to agree.

After all, after all, what was released was just Chen Beibei, who looked ineffective, and a weak seven or eight-year-old girl.

Should...... There won't be any problems.

"Well, why did I think of the weak ......?"

Looking at Chen Beibei and Yingcao who were leaving, the soldiers who stayed behind to continue guarding scratched their heads and thought secretly with a confused face.

In front of ordinary humans, Yingcao, Zashiki Boy and Mountain Rabbit are all called Brother Chen Beibei, after all, they look relatively small.

If it is called like this, it generally does not arouse suspicion.

"It's really comfortable, the boat is dangling all day in the sea, after a long time, if you lie in bed, you still have that feeling of dangling, now walking outside, I feel much better."

Chen Beibei said as he walked.

Although this was actually said to the soldiers who were following them, it was also the truth, after all, Chen Beibei and they had indeed been on the boat for a long time.

"Can you tell us some bizarre stories about the ship?"

The soldier suddenly said with a somewhat restrained look.

"Huh?"

Chen Beibei was a little puzzled.

"Since I haven't been able to come to a ship like you for many years, I've always been curious about the outside world and some stories, so ...... Please......"

The soldier put his hands together, lowered his head and said seriously.

Although this made Chen Beibei a little surprised, it was still understandable. Even when Chen Beibei lived in a village with normal contact with the outside world as a child, he would have some curiosity and longing for the big city outside. Overnight sellers and migrant workers returning from outside the city have become important ways for people to learn about big cities.

Whether it is a seller or a rare migrant worker, in that era, there is no doubt that they will be respected. Even if their life is not as good as they imagined, even if they eat and sleep in the open, even if they are tired, there is always a sense of happiness when people sit around each village and return home, and hope to hear some strange stories from their mouths.

"Story? Let me think about it. ”

Chen Beibei thought for a while, Chen Beibei was a little confused for a while about the strange stories in the outside world, after all, he rarely had the experience of spreading stories to others.

"Ah, by the way, why don't you tell a story about the hair eater!"

Chen Beibei said.

"Hair Eater?"

The soldier looked at Chen Beibei and asked him.

"Well, in our town, there was a youkai with a hair specialty, and its name was Hair Eater.

It is said that when women's hair is eaten one after another in the town, everyone is scared......"

Chen Beibei was immersed in recalling the story of the hair eater, while slowly telling it. But just at this point, he was interrupted by the soldier: "Is it the kind of youkai with beautiful long hair?" ”

The first time Chen Beibei met the hair eater in Qinghe Town, it was on the road opposite the Chunxue noodle restaurant, at that time, the hair eater had his back to Chen Beibei, with black and bright hair, as if he had his own life, it was the most beautiful hair Chen Beibei had ever seen.

"Hmm."

Chen Beibei nodded.

"We've seen this kind of monster many times, but it seems to be very weak......"

The soldier said naturally.

It seems that talking about and seeing youkai is a natural thing, and there is no sense of surprise that outsiders have when talking about youkai.

"You said there were hair eaters on your island, too?"

At this time, Chen Beibei made this soldier a little puzzled, originally such a thing as a hair eater can definitely be told as a strange story.

However, now it seems to be ...... That's not true.

"Well, but this kind of monster is really weak. They are even very afraid of fire, as long as their hair is burned, they will tremble and curl up, and then they will completely lose their ability to resist. ”

The soldier explained. Baidu take a look at the latest chapter of "Onmyoji's Style God Don't Cry Jiezhong Literature" for free reading for the first time.
