Chapter 47: Xiao Nian's blame and illusory comfort
Flying bones? ”
Why is the flying bone in the hands of a girl? Could it be that something happened to Asu?!
The girl approached, her hand fluttering, and the mica grew in size and ready to fight. I was surrounded by houses, and the girl should have taken this into account, so she didn't make a decisive move.
I hid in the darkness and asked the girl, "Where is Asu?" ”
The girl didn't answer me, "Who are you?!" ”
"It's just an old man, you don't have to be nervous, I won't be bad to you."
Mica's eyes blinked, let her guard down, and poofed into a trot. I picked it up, it whimpered, and I stroked its head in distress.
"I'm sorry."
I'm sorry I left you behind, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm coming to see you now.
"Mica?" Because the mica showed kindness to me, the girl relaxed a little.
I walked out and asked her again, "The Flying Bone is Asu's weapon, how can you have it?" ”
The girl looked at me for a while, "You know my father?" ”
Father, dear? I'm a little stunned, is Asuki a father?
"Oh~ Asu, that little ghost is a father." Phantom didn't forget to take me with him, "Look at you, but you are demoted and become someone else's daughter." ”
"If you mention the word daughter again, I'll beat you!" I'm going to go berserk, it's endless.
"Ahem, ahem, Xiao Nian." A man comes out of the house, and the girl immediately goes to help.
"Father, why did you come out, your injuries are not yet healed."
"Out of the way."
He saw me, and I looked at him. Asu? Is this Asu? I can't relate to the boy who grew up with me, who was a strong boy when he left the village, and now, after only twenty years, he has become so thin that he has gray hair on his head.
I couldn't help but clench my fists, why did he get so old.
"Rain, huh?" He still remembers my voice.
I took my mask off and squeezed out a smile with all my might, "I'm back." ”
……
I sat face to face with Asu, and Xiao Nian was the girl, busy on the side. Ever since he sat down, Asu had been stirring the fire, and I didn't know what to say, he had become so strange and so familiar.
I had to play with the mica when I didn't speak, and it lay on its belly and let me pet it, and its mouth gurgled and gurged. When I saw it unchanged, I couldn't help but have soft eyes.
"Mica has always missed you." Asu finally spoke, but still didn't look at me, "It went out to look for you." ”
“?! Looking for me? ”
"Well, look for your scent every day."
“…… Silly boy. "Silly cat.
"Silly? I don't think so. ”
When Ah Su said this, did he also want to find me? But because there are too many things in the village, you can't be capricious.
I watched him change dramatically and wanted to ask what was going on, but it turned on: "What about Megumi?" And is everyone okay? ”
Ah Su's hand paused, Xiao Nian also stopped moving, and his face was sad, "She died, and everyone is almost gone." ”
My heart swooped, and what did he say, and everyone ...... "How can this be, what the hell is going on?!" ”
"It's a youkai."
"Youkai? Why? I obviously ......"
I'm obviously gone, and I've explained everything.
"It's none of your business, we weren't strong enough at the time."
Damn it...... If only I hadn't left at that time, no, I shouldn't have stayed in the village the moment I got the Four Souls Jade, I hurt them!
"You don't have to blame yourself." Asu raised his eyes and looked at me, "Sooner or later, we will have to learn to face youkai on our own, and everyone will die because they are immature in many ways, and no one is to blame." Now, we can do it on our own. ”
He looked at me carefully, "You, haven't changed at all. ”
“…… Well, will it feel scary? ”
"No, it won't." Ah Su answered almost in seconds.
yes, that's good.
"Ahem." Asu started coughing again.
Xiao Nian came over and patted him on the back, "Father, it's time for you to rest." ”
Asu waved his hand and wanted to continue, but he was obviously not in good spirits.
"Asu, don't be forced to rest. We'll talk again tomorrow. ”
"You ......"
"I'm not leaving, and I won't be leaving tomorrow." Seeing that he didn't believe me and was holding mica, "it will look at me." ”
Xiao Nianfu lay down and took me to another place to rest. She led the way ahead of me and talked to me as she went.
"Lady Rain is here for the first time, right?"
"Yes."
"Then why did you come back all of a sudden?"
"There's something important to do."
Xiao Nian stopped suddenly, "In other words, you didn't think about coming back to see your father." ”
"I ......"
I wanted to refute it, but she was right, if it wasn't for Wang Yuzi asking me to go to Dongguo, I wouldn't have come back.
"I can't ......"
"Rain, be careful!"
While I was still talking, Xiao Nian suddenly drew his knife and turned to attack me. I was pulled back by Phantom Time, but still scratched my clothes.
"Xiao Nian?"
"Since you don't plan to come back, you should never come back!" Xiao Nian's expression was resentful, "You deserter, put all the responsibility on your father, do you know how tired your father is?!" ”
"Aju's Body ......"
"That's right! It was because of your so-called plans that my father wanted to persuade the villagers to relocate, and to persuade them to start building this demon exterminator village, but they were unwilling to do it, so my father had to take the demon exterminators to build it.
I have to do coolies and get rid of demons, and it took five full years to complete, and I don't know how much effort it took to get here! Even my mother, because the demon slayer was not in the village, was killed by the youkai in order to protect everyone!
Where were you at that time?! Didn't you say you were going to build this stockade?! Why aren't you there?! ”
I didn't think about that. I actually didn't want to face the longing eyes of the villagers, I didn't want to be relied on, and I didn't want to be tied here, so as soon as Phantom asked to leave, I immediately agreed, relieved.
I threw my responsibility to Ah Su and let him bear this for me, if I had done all this and then left, everyone would not have suffered a lot of damage.
I...... Not a qualified shrine maiden.
"Rain! Draw your sword!! ”
Xiao Nian slashed at my head, and I blocked it with my sword, still pressed to one leg and knelt on the ground. is worthy of being the daughter of Asu, born with brute strength.
I side-sword her knife and grabbed her hand to get her out of force. She found out about my purpose and slashed my neck with her other hand, and I leaned back to dodge, and she immediately kicked my hand away with her foot.
We each turned our heads and stepped away.
After staring at each other for a long time, she put away the knife and no longer had an expression on her face, "I don't say that you will never know, Mica has injuries on your body every time she goes out to look for you, and my father has not healed every time he is injured, and he has to bear the next round of injuries." He doesn't say he cares about you, but I don't. ”
After saying that, she walked away without looking back.
I stayed where I was, my head blank, and the mica bit my finger before I came to my senses.
"Hey, you're not going to be stunned by her, are you?" Phantom was a little worried about me.
“…… It's okay, she's telling the truth. ”
"Bullshit facts!" Phantom was irritable, "What does she know! She only sees the suffering of the people around her, does she know how you came here in the first place?! From the time the sun rises to the time it sets, the sword in your hand never stops! I don't know how many swords have been broken! And the injuries on your body, if it weren't for Sesshomaru's side, would you have been able to heal so quickly?! ”
The rain maiden also came out to comfort me, "I don't know what the shrine maiden has gone through, but from the first time I saw your injuries, I knew that you had suffered a lot, and it must not be that she said to evade responsibility." ”
It's such a touching picture, I can't help but want to be humble: "That, in fact, I can't bear it that much, the main thing is that the jade of the four souls makes me feel it." ”
"That's right, it's the credit of the Jade of the Four Souls."
“……”
With such modesty, why did I choose myself cleanly?
"Anyway, don't listen to that little brat, you're going to live with us in the future, not her."
The rain girl chimed in: "Uh-huh. ”
The mica protested, churning in my arms. I appease it:
"I know, I know, and you don't blame me."
In fact, no one who should understand me has blamed me, and those who accuse me are all others.
But tonight, I sat in a tree and spent the night.
