Chapter Eighty-Four: The Bird (Ask for a Bookcase!) )
"Thank you, Miko-sama, please help us!"
...
"Got it! Got it! Go back to your house first, and I'll let you know when the matter is settled. Yae Sakura hurriedly said.
A large group of people are crying in front of themselves, and they really can't stand it!
"Mikome-sama, I'm just going to ......"
"Okay, didn't Mikome say I'll give it to her, don't bother Mistress Miko, she'll definitely give us a result."
While a woman continued to cry, the person next to her, who was supposed to be her husband, looked at Yae Sakura a little impatient, and hurriedly took her hand.
...
After watching these villagers leave, Yae Sakura looked at Yae Village condescendingly on the edge of the steps to the shrine, touched the handle of the knife on her waist, and said to the Scarlet Jade Pill who was walking behind her at this time: "Sure enough, there are still too many people in Yae Village!" ”
"Why did Sakura say that? Isn't it bad to have a lot of people? Crimson Tamaru walked to Yae Sakura's side and looked suspiciously at the "village" in front of him, which had expanded dozens of times in twenty years.
"Generally speaking, there are no more than 100 people in a village, and now there are more people in Yae Village than in the town, although the food has us using spells to affect the weather, so that the yield is dozens of times the normal output, thousands of villagers are farming, barely enough, but there are many other aspects, we can't pay attention to at all, such as those monsters who are very good at hiding their demonic energy, and it is very easy to sneak in."
"Otherwise, we will drive away some of the villagers? Just a few hundred people left? Crimson grabbed her hair and said to Yae Sakura.
"This is not necessary, let's live like this for the time being! More on that later. ”
Yae Sakura thought about it, and if you compare it to the current world, it seems that this number is not very large, and the population of Tokyo City alone is close to 14 million.
That's where I am!
...
Yae Sakura stood on the edge of the steps of the shrine, thought for a moment, and then took out two small paper figures from the witch maiden costume, and threw them forward with her middle finger and index finger, and the small paper figures instantly turned into two women, one large and one small.
"Fireflies, rain girls, you go and inquire about what kind of characteristics the children in the village have recently been robbed by monsters." Yae Sakura said to the two Shikigami in front of her.
"Okay." x2
...
Watching Hotaru and the rain girl leave, Yae Sakura said to Crimson, "Scarlet Tamamaru, you also patrol the outskirts of the village from time to time!" ”
"Hmm!" Crimson Pill.
......
......
In the evening of the same day, Hotaru and Rain Girl told Yae Sakura in detail about what they had inquired about.
"You say that the children who were arrested were all on the same day or the day before, and their parents beat him or her or were very bad to those children?" Yae Sakura looked at her two Shikigami and carefully confirmed.
"Well, we all asked the neighbors in the neighborhood of the captured kids, and as soon as we said we were your Shikikami, they were told everything.
Those children have no other characteristics, and the only thing they have in common is that they have been subjected to domestic violence. The rain girl stood next to Yae Sakura and said respectfully.
"Have you ever been subjected to domestic violence? What kind of youkai is this? Because they were abused by the children's own parents, they were arrested, is it to punish the parents of those children? Yae Sakura pondered suspiciously.
"That's... Master...... I have an immature guess. The rain girl looked at Yae Sakura's thinking appearance and said carefully.
After the rain girl became the Shikigami of Yae Sakura, she thought she would be miserable and had already prepared for the worst, but she didn't expect Yae Sakura to be a little bit worse for herself.
So now the rain girl has also let go of her heart of becoming a shikigami.
"Tell me about it." Yae Sakura.
Firefly also looked at the rain girl suspiciously.
"There is a kind of monster that fits this very well, and that is the monster that turns into a pregnant woman after death, Gu Yu Bird!" The rain girl looked at Yae Sakura seriously.
"Gu Yu Bird... In this case, it is still very possible. In this way, you can inquire about those children who are often abused by their parents, and then come back and talk about me. Yae Sakura stared at the rain girl and ordered.
"Okay." Rain Maiden nodded.
"And then the fireflies......"
Yae Sakura looked at the firefly again, this firefly is different from ordinary fireflies, because her strength is really good, far from being comparable to those low-level monsters, and she is now the most powerful thug except for Crimson Jade Pill.
"Huh?" Hotaru held the dandelion and looked at the Yae Sakura suspiciously.
"You follow the rain girl and protect the rain girl!" Yae Sakura.
"Oh." Fireflies.
"Let's do it first!" Yae Sakura waved her hand to the two Shikigami in front of her, letting them go out first.
Rain Maiden bowed to Yae Sakura and went out with Hotaru.
...
"Aunt Bird...... Guy who grows for speed. ”
Gu Bird is not a local monster in Japan, it was introduced to Japan by ancient China, it was transformed by a dead pregnant woman, and it has the title of Heavenly Emperor Maiden, Ghost Bird, Nine-headed Bird, and Childbirth.
There is a saying that the Gushu bird often comes out at night, and when it puts on its feathers, it becomes a bird, and when it takes off its feathers, it turns into a woman. If a family with a baby forgets to put away the baby's clothes that are hanging outside the house at night, it will leave two drops of blood on it as a mark.
Even Mr. Lu Xun has told the story of Gu Won Bird in detail.
(Lu Xun: This ...... I really said it. "Ancient Novel Hook Sinking")
There is also a saying that Gu Hou Bird is a very kind monster, and whenever she hears the cry of a baby, she will rush to it with concern. Sometimes they take the initiative to take care of children who have no one to take care of them.
If the child's parents treat the child badly, Gu Bird will snatch the child and raise it himself.
...
After thinking for a while, Yae Sakura opened the door and walked out, coming to the wide courtyard in the middle of the shrine, where she saw her sister and Kagome standing in the courtyard practicing archery.
The area of Yae Shrine is still very large, about 20,000 square meters, the area of an elementary school, from the front hall into the corridor is a corridor, and then there are some decorative buildings on both sides, and then there is a large courtyard, behind the courtyard is the house has been the guest room hall.
Of course, compared to the temples of those monks in China, I don't know how many times smaller.
