Chapter 44: Dreams
Here, where is it?
Yanagi Jianghuo slowly regained consciousness from the chaos and stiffness, and only then did he find himself in a thick fog.
Is this the dream? Yanagi Jianghuo has an understanding.
So the next moment, the thick fog slowly parted, and the surrounding scene gradually became clearer.
It was a dilapidated shrine, and the Yanagi River Fire in the dream only felt that this place was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where it was.
Not only that, but in the dream, he even forgot who he was.
"Who am I? By the way, my name is Yanagi Jianghuo. No, no, I'm not the same name now, so what's that? By the way, my name is Saburo Yanagi. ”
With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Yanagi Jianghuo's body shrank rapidly, but he became a child.
And immediately after, a voice came from not far away, beckoning him.
"San Lang, so you're still in the shrine? Hurry home for dinner and have your favorite salt-grilled saury tonight. "A woman with a plump figure and a kimono greeted Yanagi Jianghuo with a gentle face after becoming smaller, no, it should be said that it was Yanagi Saburo.
"Mom? Mom. Yagyu Saburo quickly turned around and looked at the woman who came gently, his eyes full of disbelief.
He didn't know why, seeing his mother have such an emotional reaction, as if his mother should have been gone.
However, he didn't think much about it, but instinctively threw himself into his mother's arms all at once.
"You kid, why are you still coquettish? Let's go home and eat. Mom rubbed Saburo Yanagi's hair and said with a smile.
"Yes, let's go home." Although Yagyu Saburo felt that something was wrong, he happily followed his mother home.
After leaving the shrine, it was the stone steps down the mountain, and after walking a short distance to the foot of the mountain, a Japanese-style house that looked very ordinary appeared in his sight.
followed my mother to the front of the house, and before I entered the house, a fiery figure ran out of the house.
It was a girl with a ponytail and a high school uniform.
"San Lang." The girl hugged Saburo Yagyu while calling his name
"Ah, sister, are you back? Is school closed? Yagyu Saburo was stunned for a moment, and then shouted excitedly.
"Well, it's not a holiday, it's my dad who helped me ask for leave and let me come back, saying that there is something at home. Come, let my sister take a good look at whether San Lang has grown taller again. The girl rubbed Saburo Yanagi's head and teased him with a grin.
"Of course I've grown taller, you see this is the line that my sister drew when she was walking before, and now I've surpassed it." Saburo Yanagi immediately broke free from his sister's embrace, stood in front of the mark carved in front of the wall, and proudly motioned to his sister to look.
"Well, I really grew taller, so in order to commemorate Saburo growing taller, my sister brought you a gift." The girl said with a sweet smile.
"Gifts? Give it to me, give it to me. Saburo Yagyu immediately jumped up for joy.
But then a voice interjected.
"Hey Saburo, you only have gifts in your eyes? Even the eldest brother can't be seen. A figure walked out of the room again, but it was a boy who didn't look very old, but he wasn't wearing a school uniform, and he should be a college student, it was Yagyu Saburo's brother, Yagyu Ichiro.
"Brother Ichiro? Why are you back too? Is college on vacation? Was he also called back by his father? Saburo Yagyu was excited again.
"Hmph, of course I was called back by my father. Come, I have a gift for you, so come on. Yagyu Ichiro was much more straightforward, and he directly threw the gift to Yagyu Saburo.
"This is, baseball gloves? That's great. Saburo Yagyu immediately jumped up for joy.
"Ah, brother, really, the gift was given so easily, I still want to tease Saburo." The girl was a little dissatisfied with her brother.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it was Dad who told me to tell you to hurry up and go in, saying that after you finish eating, there is something to announce." Ichiro Yanagi held up a palm in front of his chest and squeezed his eyes in an apologetic look.
It can be seen that this is a brother who dotes on his younger siblings very much.
"Okay, this is my sister's gift, my sister doesn't have as much money as my brother, so I bought a cheaper one." The girl said as she put a baseball in Yagyu Saburo's hand and said with a smile.
"Ah, baseball, so you can practice throwing and catching the ball." Saburo Yanagi happily grabbed the baseball with his baseball gloves and jumped on the spot.
Ichiro Yanagi and his sister glanced at each other and smiled, seeing that his younger brother was so happy, it was not in vain that the two agreed, one bought baseball gloves, and the other bought a baseball.
Yagyu Saburo was happy for a while, and even wanted to start practicing throwing and catching the ball on the spot, but at the urging of his brother, he went into the house first, and the family was ready to eat.
"Dad, look, my brother and sister bought me a baseball and baseball gloves." Saburo Yagyu shows off his harvest to his father.
"Oh yes? It's so good, Saburo, you can play baseball in the future. Father Yanagi laughed.
"Well, Dad, you can play with me." Saburo Yanagi said immediately.
"Okay, wait for tomorrow, it's not going to work today, I have something to do." Father Yanagi said.
"Something? What's the matter? Saburo Yagyu, who was still very happy, suddenly had an ominous premonition, and he suddenly felt that something bad was about to happen.
"It's the sleeping ritual of Lord Tengu! The era of the end of the law has arrived, and in order to get through the end of the era smoothly, Tengu-sama has decided to sleep for a while and wait until the end of the era to wake up, which requires our help. Father Yanagi said with a serious expression.
"No, no, Dad, you can't do that." Yagyu Saburo suddenly had a burst of fear, and he didn't know why he was afraid, but he just felt that something bad was going to happen, so he immediately said out loud.
"What are you messing around, you kid? Dad will play with you tomorrow, today is the right thing, don't make trouble. Father Yanagi said solemnly.
Suddenly, Yagyu Saburo didn't know what to say, and he didn't know why he wanted to stop it, but he just felt that something bad was going to happen.
So next, whether it was eating or the laughter of the family, Yanagi Saburo looked a little stiff.
Even the news of the baseball game on TV could not attract the attention of Saburo Yagyu.
You must know that this era is still the era when mobile phones are not popular, and it is also the era when computers are not popular, so watching TV is usually the biggest entertainment, and baseball games are Yagyu Saburo's favorite.
His brothers and sisters also discovered his abnormality and tried to make him happy, but to no avail.
In this way, after the meal, the whole family set off.
When I came to Tengu Shrine, the whole family except Yagyu Saburo, my father, mother, brother and sister, collectively sat down on the formation that had been arranged a long time ago, and then summoned the god of this shrine, Tengu-sama.
With the appearance of that being, the violent stimulation reminded the gangster and stiffened Yagyu Saburo, and he remembered everything, and remembered how at this moment, his parents, as well as his brother and sister, were swallowed by the tengu-sama that their family longed to serve, and became the nourishment of the tengu sleeping and surviving the era of the end of the law.
Saburo Yanagi wanted to rush up to stop it from happening again, but I don't know why, he wanted to rush up to stop all this, but he couldn't control his body at all, so he could only stay in this body like a bystander, watching everything happen.
Witnessing it again, with the family activating the formation, the tengu appeared and devoured from everyone.
"San Lang, run away, run away." Yagyu Saburo's ears kept echoing, and finally the last words his mother shouted to him.
With a buzz, he woke up from his sleep.
