Chapter 3 Little Ghost Asu
When I woke up the next day, I stared at the quaint to the humble wooden house, and after thinking about it for a long time, I remembered my situation, sighed, and accepted the facts, if I wasn't an anime fan, I would go crazy. Tsuiko was not in the house, and my heart was empty, so I immediately got up and looked around.
Outside, I could see the whole village, there were more than a dozen houses scattered around, many of them were dilapidated, except for the residence, the rest were fields, the villagers were farming, and the green woods in the distance stretched to the white mist, if it was in modern times, I would definitely enjoy the scenery at this time, but after yesterday's events, I feel that it is dangerous.
After waiting for a while, Tsuiko came back with a wooden basket, and I ran over with joy.
"Tsuiko, where have you been?"
"Went and picked some herbs."
I looked at it curiously, and I didn't recognize anything, it was really not easy to survive.
"Rain, open your mouth." Tsuiko holds a green leaf.
"What is it?"
"What can be refreshing, don't chew or swallow it."
I tried to eat it, it was a bit like eating mints, it was refreshing and cool, and the whole person was much more refreshed.
Breakfast seems to be leftover from last night, but fortunately, it doesn't taste bad, and it can barely be eaten.
"Mistress Tsuiko, are you there?" There was a man's voice outside.
Tsuiko got up and walked out, and all I could hear was the man's babbling, as if he was begging for something.
"Okay, I'll be right then." Tsuiko agreed, and the man left.
"Tsuiko, what's going on?"
"Some villagers are entangled in filth, I have to go." Tsuiko said as she packed her things.
"I'll go too!"
"Your Body ......"
"It's all right." I quickly patted my chest and promised.
"Then you have to follow me obediently."
"Okay." I sweetly agreed, but I was actually vomiting blood in my heart, and I couldn't stand it if I had to pretend to be tender at such an age.
When I walked into the village, I found that the situation here was much worse than I imagined, many of the houses were very dilapidated, and there were traces of burning, and people's faces were gloomy, but when they saw Cuizi coming, they all stopped what they were doing, and they put their hands together very respectfully, and they didn't know what they were reading, until we were far away, and they continued what they had just done, and Cuizi looked calm and resolute in the whole process.
But he was worshiped by a group of men, women and children for no reason.,The heart is very empty.,Fortunately, no one noticed.,At the same time, I'm confused.,In such an era.,It's understandable that the witch is respected.,But it's not zero looking at each other.,Zero communication.,It's incomprehensible......
At last we came to a house, and the sick man was a wounded young man, lying on a futon, his forehead bandaged, his face was dull, his cheeks were sunken, and he was about to die.
Tsuiko told the man's family to wait outside, and told me not to make a noise no matter what I saw. In fact, I still have a little expectation in my heart, after all, Tsuiko is the most powerful witch, and she must be cool to fight to.
Tsuiko sat next to the man, stretched out her index finger and pressed it on his forehead, and after a while, the man struggled violently, but he couldn't get rid of it, and gradually quieted down, Tsuiko removed her fingers, took out a leaf from her sleeve, and put it in the man's mouth.
"Alright, let's go."
This...... That's it? What about mana? What about youkai? I haven't looked at anything.
The man's face was noticeably better, and after the villagers thanked Tsuiko, we left.
"Tsuiko, what's wrong with that person?"
"I've been entangled by a youkai."
"What kind of youkai is it?"
"Didn't you see the rain just now?"
"Nope."
Tsuiko stopped and looked at me, meaningful, I felt that all the hair on my body was going to explode, could it be that I said something wrong??
"You come with me." Tsuiko rerouted and walked in the other direction.
I struggled in place for a while, but I still followed, even if I was seen, it wasn't my fault that I crossed into someone else's body, and it must be understandable that Tsuiko people are so good.
Tsuiko took me to a high slope from which I could observe the whole village.
"Do you feel anything?"
"Feelings?" I felt it and said, "Uh, the weather is nice and the air is good......"
"This is the edge of the barrier, and no youkai can approach it without my permission." Finally, Tsuiko nodded in the air and said to me, "Come here." โ
I walked over for some reason, and when I saw Tsuiko's stern expression, I was a little frightened, and it seemed that I had to explain to her that I wasn't a monster, well, at most a ghost.
"Tsuiko, actually......" I was about to confess, but a gust of wind behind me made me stumble, and Tsuiko held me up, her face solemn.
"Rain, you go back to the village with Mica first, don't go near here, you know?"
"Hmm." The wind was getting stronger, and I saw that the sky in the distance was no longer clear, and a black mass was approaching, and even though I couldn't see them clearly, my body instinctively recognized the danger.
The mica jumped out of Tsuiko's arms and took the form of a youkai, and I couldn't help but marvel, and lay on Mica's back tightly, not looking back until I was far away from there.
Tsuiko's figure is getting smaller and smaller, I only see her blown black hair and tall figure, suddenly I feel depressed, no matter how much ability I have, now am I leaving Tsuiko and running away alone?
After returning to the village, the sky returned to its original state, I was restless outside the house, and Tsuiko never came back in the afternoon, thinking of Tsuiko's ending, I felt uncomfortable for a while, such a good girl, even if she was powerful, she was not even 18 years old.
"Mica, shall we go find Tsuiko?"
The mica blinked and tilted her head to look at me, I was excited \(โงโฝโฆ)/ and hugged the mica over and rubbed it, don't be too cute, little guy! Such a serious occasion is actually cute!!
I also calmed down after ravaging the mica, it's good that I don't want to make trouble for Cuizi, let's take care of myself!
I sat down, looked at the sky, looked at the clouds, looked at the trees, and sighed again at my weakness. If that's the case, then it's better to be eaten by a youkai earlier, and wait another half an hour, and I'll go find Tsuiko.
"Goo-goo-goo-goo-......goo-
"Who are you?" It looks like a village child.
The kid was startled, turned around and ran away quickly, "Am I so scary?" The dead kid ran pretty fast, and I couldn't catch him after a while, which is definitely the reason why I didn't eat, well.
"Mica, go get him back." I don't believe he can fly.
Sure enough, in less than a minute, the mica came back with the screaming child in her mouth, and I walked up to him and found that he was about the same size as me.
"Who are you? Why peek? Seeing the pitiful little appearance of his red eyes, I asked him in a soft voice.
"Let go of me, let go of my ......"
"......" I was sprayed with a spit on my face, damn it, a good person really can't deserve it.
"Tell me to let mica swallow you again!" I pinched the child's face viciously, well, it felt good.
Hearing this, this little ghost immediately quieted down, and even mica stared at me innocently with vertical pupils, as if to say that I don't eat people, I am a docile and obedient cute monster.
"......" My heart was about to be warmed by mica, I just collapsed my face, my hand shook and shook and accidentally made a lot of force, and the child was so painful that he held back tears and didn't dare to make a sound.
"Ahem." I retracted my hand. "Tell me, what's your name?"
"I ...... My name is Asu. โ
"What are you doing here?"
"......" The child refused to make a sound, I squinted and tried to pinch him, but he hurriedly beckoned.
"I'm here to apprentice!"
...... "Uh, apprentice, who do you worship?" Tsuiko?
Seeing that I didn't speak, Ah Su thought that I was laughing at him, and blushed and shouted loudly: "I know that I don't have half of my spiritual power, and I don't have any understanding, but I will study very hard, I want to be strong and be able to protect my family, can't I?" โ
After saying that, Asu broke down and cried, and I was yelled at for a long time and couldn't come back to my senses, the first time I heard people say so many words, and I was a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, I understood the general meaning.
"Actually, you don't have to have spiritual power, you're also very good, you ......" I tried my best to search for his merits. By the way, you can run so fast and your body is strong, you can be a demon slayer, and you can fight monsters as well. โ
"Really?" Asu's eyes lit up.
"When, of course." Speaking of which, since Tsuiko is here, there should be a demon slayer cottage nearby, the one where Coral lives.
"But what is a demon slayer?"
"Well, it's pretty good anyway."
"Oh."
The air was suddenly silent, and I didn't know what to say, so I let the mica put him down.
"Goo-goo-goo......"
I froze when I heard this voice, there was nowhere to put the old face, but Ah Su was still dumbfounded.
"You're hungry." I said with a blank face.
"I didn't ......"
"Do you have anything to eat?"
"There is ......"
"Bring it."
"I'll have to go to the house and get it."
"Then you go."
"Oh, good."
Ah Su walked back in five steps, I also returned to the house, I thought about Ah Su's look when he left, this kid won't be tricking me, after all, my attitude is not very good, no, no, no, this is not modern, children are ghosts, ancient people are still very simple, more worried about it.
