Chapter 236: Scarborough Town
After the puppy leaves.
The little zombie stayed alone, and only after he couldn't see his brother, sister and tomato could he hand over the medicine in his hand to Chen Beibei.
Open the small cloth bag.
Inside are a few small grasses, probably herbs or something.
"How do I use it?"
Chen Beibei looked at the little zombie and asked him.
"Just eat it, no problem."
The little zombie replied.
The dog god clutched his wrist tightly, and his body seemed to have some pain, causing some sweat to run down his forehead.
"Inujin, eat this."
Chen Beibei handed the herbs in his hand to the dog god and said to him.
No matter what, Chen Beibei can only choose to believe in the little zombie, after all, this is related to the life of the dog god, and it is urgent.
At this time, the body of the dog god has turned light purple, and the fangs have also grown, which is already very close to the appearance of a zombie.
Herbs look ordinary.
It's like a weed on the side of the road, but Inugami still eats the herb.
"How's it going, are you better?"
Chen Beibei asked anxiously.
"It takes a few hours for it to work, so ...... Please be patient for a while. β
The little zombie looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.
Chen Beibei threw the flame talisman in his hand to the ground, and the pure red flame that ignited slowly subsided......
So says the little zombie.
The herbs have also been eaten, and now they can only choose to wait.
"Gu Win Bird, tie up that little zombie, and don't let it run away until the dog god recovers."
Chen Beibei looked at Gu Xuaniao and said to her.
"Yes, master."
Gu Yu took out a rope and tightened the little zombie to the trunk of a tree so that it would not be easily freed.
"I still have some things to learn from you before the dog god recovers, and you'd better not lie to people, otherwise, I'll let you die."
"Hmmm......"
The little zombie nodded and replied slowly.
Now that the people he cares about have run away, the little zombie doesn't need to fight hard.
If...... If you can live to see your brother and sister, and tomatoes...... Next time, I'll have to find a safer place to hide.
"What's your name?"
"Hopping Brother......
The little zombie replied.
Hop Hop Brother!
It's an R-card god in the Onmyoji.,It's a very calm.,Very sensible little zombie.,I've been worrying about my brother and sister.γ
My brother has always been very unreliable.
And my sister is still at a very naΓ―ve and ignorant age.
Therefore, the younger brother has always been responsible for all the important affairs of the Hopping family, although it is called the Hopping family.
However, the only members are the three siblings and a dog.
"It turned out to be a jumping brother......
Although he knew that Brother Jumping was a monster, Chen Beibei did not let go of Brother Jumping because of this.
After all, what kind of monster is the real jumping brother, it's still uncertain.
"You...... Know me? β
The younger brother looked at Chen Beibei and asked suspiciously.
"Well, I've heard your name and know some stories about you, but I don't know if it's true."
Chen Beibei replied.
"There are still a few hours left for the dog god to recover, so take advantage of this time to tell your story. In that case, perhaps...... It will also allow you to go back and be reunited with your brother and sister. β
Chen Beibei sat down next to his younger brother and said softly.
The color on the dog god's body has become lighter and lighter, and it seems to be slowly recovering, which makes Chen Beibei relax a little.
If what Brother Hopping said is true.
Then the dog god will recover completely after a few hours......
β¦β¦
A frog jumped in front of the Jumping Brother, and finally jumped into a small puddle, sank to the bottom, and began to rest.
The Hopping Brother began to tell his story.
"One day, when we woke up, the village had been destroyed. And everyone died, including our parents.
My eldest brother was cursing for not being able to control his body freely, and I moved my legs, but I couldn't step out......
From then on, we had to jump and walk.
This doesn't have much impact on us, and it's completely acceptable to turn into purple-blue skin, but these changes make us a little worried about whether we will die.
"Brother, you have all turned blue, and your teeth are so cute~'
The little sister jumped in front of us and said happily.
Silly sister.
Until now, I didn't know that I had become something else......
I don't know what to call us now, but I guess we're no longer human. β
A small snake crawled slowly from the grass, and finally crawled into the small puddle that the frog had jumped into before, and the water surface did not move at all......
"Knowing that we became zombies because we hadn't eaten for a long time, I was afraid that my brother and sister would starve to death, so I went to a house and asked them to give us some food.
As a result, the family, when they saw me, had a look of fear on their faces.
Then he said to his wife and children: 'There are zombies coming, so hide in the house and don't come out!' β
Corpse?
What is it?
Can you eat it?
The man picked up the hoe, locked the door of his house, and confronted me alone. Although he was scared, he didn't back down.
'Could it be that the zombies are talking about...... Is that me......? β
I thought so.
"Hey, zombies or something, I'm not afraid, if you dare to come here, don't blame me for killing you." β
The man was obviously scared, and his hand holding the hoe was shaking all the time, but he still said something like that.
Seemingly...... The zombies really said me......
Although it is not known what kind of thing zombies refer to. However, from the man's reaction, it can still be inferred that zombies are a thing that cannot live with humans, so we left our village with our brother and sister.
When I became a zombie, I told him, 'Now that we're dead, we don't need to eat or drink......
The eldest brother had been depressed all the time when he had just learned that he was dead.
But my sister is okay, she doesn't seem to care about becoming a zombie at all, and she still plays with tomatoes every day as always.
It wasn't until one day that my sister suddenly couldn't control herself, and since she wanted to bite the tomato, I realized the seriousness of the matter.
We...... Now there's something dangerous!
That night, I woke up my sleeping brother and said softly to him, 'All humans are so afraid of us, probably because we will hurt them.' So...... If the tomato is with us, it will definitely be hurt by us......
Although the eldest brother has always been very unreliable.
But in the matter of tomatoes, he was extremely serious, and his expression became rare serious: 'That...... Let's give the tomatoes away! β
"Hmm."
What the eldest brother said is exactly what I want to say to the eldest brother.
We secretly packed the sleeping tomatoes in a bag, took them to a strange place, and threw them away.
While throwing away the tomatoes, I saw the tears of my eldest brother.
'Big brother, you're crying......'
'Brother, you're mistaken! β
The eldest brother turned away, did not look at me, and jumped towards the place where we lived, looking at the bag that had been thrown on the ground, and the tomato was struggling desperately in the bag.
However, tomatoes don't open.
Because the bag was tied with rope, the tomatoes had to wait until dawn and when someone was passing by.
If the person who let it out is willing to take it in, then he will be the next owner of the tomato.
If he doesn't like tomatoes, then tomatoes are just a stray dog.
Whatever the possibility, it's much better than staying with us, at least not in danger of life......"
The small puddle reflected the light of the moonlight, and suddenly, the light became shaky.
The Hopping Brother looked at the puddle.
On the surface of the water, there were ripples in circles, and a small snake bit the frog that had jumped down before and slowly crawled out.
The frog has a larger mouth than the small snake, so it is a little difficult to swallow and makes a final struggle on the ground......
"After sending the tomatoes away, my sister cried for a long time and asked us where the tomatoes went.
We told her that the tomato was dead......
My sister cried from dawn until dark.
'Hee-hee! β
My sister's sudden laughter made me feel bad; 'It's not going to be the tomato coming back, is it......
Tomatoes are really back.
This stupid dog!!
It's so stupid, we obviously took a lot of effort to send it away. Why do you want to come back, don't you understand our painstaking efforts at all?
When the eldest brother saw his sister holding the tomato, he angrily snatched the tomato away and threw it on the ground: 'Get out! Get out of here, don't come back! We don't need you and we don't want you to be with you anymore, you know? ββ
This story is not much different from what Chen Beibei heard, so Chen Beibei can roughly know the rest of the matter.
"Tomato, now you've become a zombie, right?"
Chen Beibei looked at his younger brother and asked him.
"Well, that stupid dog, since he bit the eldest brother, but ...... It's also allowed us to stay together forever......"
Brother Hopping replied.
The matter of the Hopping Family is actually relatively uneventful, after all, the three brothers and sisters did not have any contact with other monsters.
Nor did it hurt humans.
So there aren't many stories that happened to them.
Most of the time, the Hopping family is probably hiding somewhere and living quietly. This time, if it weren't for Chen Beibei and the others suddenly digging out the three brothers and sisters, they would probably have been hiding in this place for a long time.
"It seems...... You just want a quiet life......"
Chen Beibei looked at his younger brother and said to him.
"Hmm."
Brother Hopping replied.
β¦β¦
"Quack...... Quack ......"
The frog was on the ground, slowly jumping, and the little snake never let go, being dragged forward by the frog.
Soon, the frog was paralyzed by the toxin of the small snake.
The little snake opened its mouth wide and slowly devoured the frog, very slowly...... It's slow......
In the process of the little snake devouring the frog, the body of the dog god is completely restored, the fangs are gone, the skin is returned to normal, and the physical pain is gone.
"Master, I'm all right."
The dog god looked at Chen Beibei and said lightly.
"Great, Uncle Inugami is fine!"
The bride jumped up and shouted happily, only to fall on the ground.
Zashiki boy picked up the little bride: "Be careful~"
The dog god can return to normal, which is undoubtedly a very happy thing for everyone, and Chen Beibei is the same.
Brother Hopping seemed to be relieved.
It's not so nervous anymore.
"Brother Hop, be my god. If you just want a peaceful life, that's fine. β
Chen Beibei looked at his younger brother and said to him.
It has probably been a long time since the Jumping Brother and they hid in the peach forest, after all, it has been a long time since the monk of the Sparrow Temple cast the Four Elephants Enchantment.
If you don't guess wrong, the three brothers and sisters are the gods summoned by the monks of the Sparrow Temple.
"By the way, your last master was a monk, right?"
Chen Beibei asked.
"yes, how do you know?"
Brother Jumping asked suspiciously.
"Because I've seen him, but now he's dead, that's why you've broken the contract and become a free youkai."
Chen Beibei looked at his younger brother and said to him.
Break the contract and become a free youkai, which is something that the youkai themselves can feel.
In a sense, once this feeling appears, it means that his master is dead, so the younger brother of Hopping also knows about the death of the monk of the Sparrow Temple.
"Be your ...... Shikigami, are you ...... Onmyoji? β
The younger brother looked at Chen Beibei and asked suspiciously.
"Hmm."
Chen Beibei replied.
Brother Hopping wants a peaceful life, which is not difficult for Chen Beibei, after all, Chen Beibei still has a courtyard from another dimension.
In that space, it can be said to be very safe.
If they can't come into contact with humans, then they can live in that space, which is better than hiding in a coffin.
"But...... I still have my brother, my sister and my tomato......"
Brother Hopping's face showed a hint of embarrassment.
"I can let them become my Shikigami together."
Chen Beibei turned around and glanced at the dog god standing behind him, Gu Won Bird, Snow Maiden, Sickle Weasel and Yingcao, and then continued: "Don't worry, everyone will protect you in the future." β
"That'...... Okay, let me go and get my brother and them back. β
Jumping Brother said.
"Okay, let's go with you."
Chen Beibei looked at his younger brother and said to him.
Being able to receive three Shishen at once, and one of them is an SR-level jumping brother, which makes Chen Beibei's mood very good......
