After a good night's sleep, Chen Beibei woke up at noon the next day.

The people who came to the Dog God Envoy clan before were already very tired after a long journey.

At noon, I slept in the stone room, the doors and windows were closed, there was not even a trace of sunlight, and when I woke up, there was no way to guess the time.

"Chen Yan, what time is it?"

Chen Beibei looked at Chen Yan, who was playing with the gods, and asked her.

"Chen Beibei, you finally woke up, it's already past twelve o'clock. Seeing that you have not woken up, we have not called you. I'm afraid of disturbing your rest. ”

Chen Yan said.

It's like sleeping in a room with the curtains tightened, sleeping until you don't even know the time.

When I suddenly knew that it was so late, I couldn't help but feel a little incredulous.

"Really?"

"Hmm."

Chen Yan generally doesn't deceive people, especially in front of Chen Beibei.

Since Chen Yan is already so sure, Chen Beibei has no reason not to believe it.

Chen Beibei hurriedly got up from the bed, then opened the door and walked out.

When Chen Beibei just opened the door, the woman who had been pouring wine for Chen Beibei and the old man was standing outside the door of his room.

"Your Excellency, you're awake."

The woman bowed and said to Chen Beibei.

That faint fragrance lingered around Chen Beibei's side, making him sober up a little: "Why are you here?"

"Teak-sama, let me wait for you at the door, and when you wake up, let me take you over for breakfast."

"Morning ...... Breakfast?"

It's already past twelve o'clock, and since he came to call himself for breakfast, this makes Chen Beibei think that he heard it wrong.

"Hmm."

Xiaozhu nodded and said to Chen Beibei.

Since she came to ask him for breakfast, the woman had been waiting for at least three or four hours, thinking of this, Chen Beibei couldn't help but feel a little guilty: "Miss Bamboo, I'm sorry to keep you waiting too long." ”

The woman smiled slightly, the smile was very sweet, and the smell wafting in the air was also a hint of sweet and greasy taste.

It's a good flavor that doesn't feel very strong, and it feels very pleasant.

"Your Excellency is our master's friend, please don't call me Miss, I'm not that kind of honorable person. Please call me Xiaozhu just like the owner. ”

Xiaozhu looked at Chen Beibei and said seriously.

Xiaozhu's demeanor is very decent, whether it is talking or walking, it is within a comfortable range.

Chen Beibei took his own style god and followed the woman to the old man's room.

The old man's room was where they used to drink tea and wine together.

The torches on the stone wall have always burned like this, and once they are finished, Xiaozhu will immediately replace them with new torches to ensure that the whole house does not fall into darkness.

Kawaraira Teak is far away from the world, and living alone in such a place is already very lonely.

If you still let him stay in a dark space, that feeling of loneliness will be infinitely magnified.

Although Kawahira Teak never speaks, Bamboo still understands these things very well.

Bamboo is such a careful and considerate woman.

There was some food on the table, as well as a jar of wine.

Chen Beibei had drunk enough yesterday.

Now when I see the wine, I can't help but panic a little, so I secretly said in my heart: "Don't drink it anymore." ”

"Chen Beibei come and sit."

The old man looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.

The original breakfast has now been replaced by a main meal at noon.

The food that was prepared before was removed from the bamboo.

Chen Beibei didn't come, and Chuanping teak didn't bother to eat it alone.

Seeing Chen Beibei sitting on the chair, Chuanping Teak began to move his chopsticks: "Come, Chen Beibei, you must be hungry." Hurry up and eat, you're welcome. ”

The old man first took a little carp meat and ate it.

Chen Beibei also ate it.

Bamboo has been standing quietly at the dining table, exuding a faint fragrance on his body, and a smile on his face.

Even if you glance at her once in a while, you will feel very comfortable.

It doesn't make people feel uncomfortable because there is a person standing aside during the meal.

The food was delicious and the wine was delicious.

Although Chen Beibei didn't plan to drink, he couldn't help but drink.

I don't know why, in the old man's place, Chen Beibei's alcohol consumption has also become a lot better.

If it was in Qinghe Town, Chen Beibei should be drunk after drinking two or three glasses of liquor.

Yesterday, Chen Beibei drank with the old man, and he drank at least dozens of glasses, but he was only half drunk and half awake, and he was not completely drunk.

Moreover, Chen Beibei is here for the elderly, and when he drinks, he will have a feeling of enjoyment.

The aroma of the wine.

Entering the throat and flowing into the viscera, no matter what the process is, it is very enjoyable.

The only pity is that the drinking scene is a bit boring.

In a closed room!

If it is a summer night, fireflies are flying, insects are chirping in your ears, the cool wind blows your body, and there is a full moon in the sky.

Chen Beibei will feel that this is the most wonderful moment in the world.

Drinking hot and dry body, blown by the cool breeze.

The full moon in the sky makes people think of some beautiful things in their hearts.

Maybe it's a distant friend, a relative at home, or even a woman you love.

"Alas......"

Thinking of this, Chen Beibei couldn't help but sigh regretfully.

"Chen Beibei, why are you sighing?"

The old man noticed Chen Beibei's sigh and hurriedly asked.

"Nothing, Lord Teak, except that I suddenly realized that we were drinking in a closed stone house. Obviously, the wine is so mellow, the food is so delicious, and the people who drink the wine and the people who pour the wine are all perfect. It's just that the scene has some shortcomings, which makes people feel a little regretful. ”

Chen Beibei answered truthfully.

The smile on the old man's face disappeared, and he looked ahead, and at the end of his gaze was three or four meters away, a cold stone wall.

His hands trembled involuntarily, and the wine in the wine glass swayed in circles of water.

"Teak-sama ,......"

The woman called out to Kawahira Yuzuki worriedly.

The old man slowly came back to his senses, retracted his gaze, lowered his head, and looked at the wine in his hand.

Then he tilted his head and drank the wine from his glass.

Kawahira teak has lived for so many years.

Having spent most of his life in such a place, Chen Beibei knew that he would have many regrets in his life.

Longing for the outside world.

Missing his dead wife.

And the things that have never been forgotten in the past.

"Teak-sama, do you want to go out and have a look?"

Chen Beibei asked.

Chen Beibei felt that for him, going to see the outside world should be regarded as the most important thing to do.

"I used to think about it, but I don't think about it now. I'm old, so what if I go out and see the outside world?"

"Is there anything you want to do, I have drunk so much wine and eaten so many delicious dishes from you, please let me help you fulfill your long-cherished wish, if I can do it."

Chen Beibei looked at Chuanping teak and said seriously.

Now that I've come here, I'm facing this person who is the same onmyoji as myself.

Chen Beibei naturally didn't want him to die with regret.

"Chen Beibei ,......"

The old man picked up the wine glass in his hand: "Come, let's have a drink." ”

Two people drink the wine in their glasses together!

"Now I can't rest assured, only bamboo and dog gods. My limit is approaching, and people can't go against the sky, even if it's an onmyoji. I hope that after I die, you will take good care of me with bamboo and dog gods. ”

The strength of the dog god is stronger than the style god in Chen Beibei's hands.

"Teak-sama ,......"

Bamboo couldn't help but take a step forward, and his voice trembled a little, as if he couldn't help crying.

Inugami just stood, clenching his teeth and showing no other expression.

"Teak-sama, you're still in good health, and you should be able to live for a long time. Please don't say anything like death or death in the future. ”

Chen Beibei looked at Chuanping teak and said to him.

Kawahira Yuzuki's body does look very healthy, and if he hadn't known in advance that he was almost ninety years old, he would definitely not have realized that he was so old.

So Chen Beibei's words are also from the heart.

"Chen Beibei, I am an onmyoji, and I am very clear about my life. So I'm telling the truth, I won't live long. It was about midnight three days later. ”

When Kawahira Yuzuki said this, his expression was very serious, not like he was joking.

Even if Chen Beibei doesn't believe it, it's possible.

"Tezuki-sama, I'll promise you. I'll take care of the bamboo and the dog god for you. ”

Chen Beibei replied.

Onmyoji can do divination and thus know what will happen in the future.

So it's not unusual to know when you're going to die.

Even some monks who have some cultivation can do it.

The woman standing next to her had tears streaming down her eyes.

On the lips of the dog god, a trace of bright red blood slowly flowed. This is because when he gritted his teeth, he pushed too hard.

However, neither the woman nor the dog god spoke, and only stood.

Kawahira teak is their master.

In front of the owner, you should not show your negative emotions, and you should not interject casually.

……

Lunch is over.

Chen Beibei and the old man walked out of the stone house and walked through the corridor, which was the same road that Chen Beibei and the others had taken when they came.

"Do you want to be blindfolded?"

Chen Beibei asked.

When they came before, the dog god asked them to be blindfolded.

After all, the dog god made the clan live here in order to stay away from humans and not participate in the vain disputes in the human world.

So it's understandable that they don't want their location to be known by humans.

"Chen Beibei, no need. Three days later, we, the Dog God Envoys, completely disappeared from this world. Even if it is found out, it doesn't matter. ”

Kawahira Yuzuki said as he walked.

"Teak-sama, you won't disappear completely, the humans will remember you. During the Heian period, you dog god envoys have passed down many legends, and these will be proof of your existence. Even now, I will not forget Yuzu-sama, as well as Tantra-sama, and there is a surname named Kabunei. ”

"Well, it's a pleasure to be remembered."

Chen Beibei looked at Lord Teak and said to him.

Soon, everyone came out, and the sun's rays stimulated their eyes.

It's been too long in the stone house, and everyone is not used to the sun's rays.

But it doesn't take long for you to get used to it.

Chen Beibei: They are now on the top of a mountain, which is a very high mountain.

If you look at it from afar, you won't be obstructed in any way.

There is a feeling of seeing the mountains at a glance.

But even if the view is not obstructed, you can see the end all the time.

But at the end of it was nothing more than a blue mountain, a blue sky, and white clouds.

Even with your eyes open, there's no way to know where you are.

"Chen Beibei, tonight, we will enjoy the moon while drinking here, what do you think?"

Kawahira Yuki looked at Chen Beibei and asked him.

When Kawahira Yuzuki said this, he had a smile on his face and a sense of relief.

It's like, from now on, you don't need to think about anything.

Just enjoy the process of drinking.

"Hmm." Chen Beibei nodded and continued: "Since Lord Teak has already proposed it, then I should accompany you. ”

……

Night.

At the top of the mountains, Inugami moved out the table and chairs.

Bamboo prepares the food and drinks.

At this time, it was not long after the beginning of spring, and a lot of grass grew on the ground.

When you step on it, some of the scent of grass and moisture seep out.

Chen Beibei and Kawahira Teak sat together on a chair, the sky was full of stars, and a new crescent moon.

The crescent moon is like a willow leaf that has just sprouted in early spring, slender and long.

In the middle of the trees, a few unnamed birds stood silently.

Seems to have fallen asleep.

Even Chen Beibei and the old man were drinking and chatting at the same time, but they didn't wake up those little birds.

This time, Chen Beibei and the old man just chatted about some past events.

There is something about the elderly.

But it's more about Chen Beibei.

After all, in the previous time, Chen Beibei had already learned about the Dog God Envoy clan and some things about Kawasaki Teak.

And Kawahira teak still doesn't know anything about Chen Beibei.

What Chen Beibei told the old man was just some of his daily life with monsters.

and some memorable scenes.

The woman floating in the river was salvaged and let the clothes be washed on the bluestone slab.

In the peach blossom forest, the sea of pink flowers that flickered by.

A little girl who was abused but had good intentions.

Perverted photographer.

There are also monks who were crushed to death by Buddha statues.

Chen Beibei will always remember these things until he gets old. I can't remember what happened, and I died.

"Chen Beibei, you are really a not very qualified onmyoji."

Kawahira Yuzuki said.

Chen Beibei identifies with his identity as an onmyoji, and he also hopes that he can do things that are in line with this identity.

But Yin-Yang has never been refined, which is also a very helpless thing.

"But...... Maybe an onmyoji like you will be more suitable for this era. ”

Kawahira Yuzuki continued, his expression very serious.

Hee-hee, hug the new guy~
