Chapter 197: The Story Behind It

Natsume promised him that he would help him find the youkai called the borrowed paper, but before that, Natsume wanted to know why he was looking at the worn-out letter in his hand that couldn't be opened, and what was going on. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The youkai in front of me lives in the forest far away from here, and can only stare at the big trees in the forest every day. But inadvertently, he found a small wooden house in the depths of the forest, very dilapidated, and no one came here all year round.

But here and then I began to discover that there was a very young woman who came here every day, sitting outside the cabin and waiting for a man to arrive. Whenever the man arrived, the two of them sat there and chatted happily until the sun went down and the man left the place.

This was the case every day, and when the woman went down the mountain, she would always rush ahead of her, drive away all the snakes and insects in the mountains and forests for her beforehand, and then watch the woman go down the mountain safely, day after day.

Later, I learned that the two of them were a couple, but because of the difference in family background, the parents of both parties could not agree, but they still loved each other, in order not to let the family find out, they decided to secretly come to this cabin in the forest for a private meeting.

As a youkai, he didn't know, he didn't understand why two people who loved each other had such a private meeting instead of being together in the open, he didn't know what the reason was in the human world, and he didn't know what made it so difficult.

At this time, for the first time, he had so many questions about the human world, and he wanted him to take the initiative to understand the human world.

When I came to the place where humans lived, I saw such a scene, the man who had a private meeting with the woman married another woman under the arrangement of the family, but the man did not show a smile on his face. Later, I learned that the man's family had been in decline, and their family married the man to a woman who was prosperous in another family in order to continue their family, and they didn't think about whether the man liked the strange woman or not, and the only thing in their eyes was interests.

Disgusted by this, he returned to the forest again, and accidentally came to the side of the cabin, this time he thought that no one should be able to come again, but he was surprised to find that the woman still came here as usual, waiting for the man to arrive.

Little did she know, however, that the man would never come again.

The woman waited from dawn until the sun set, and finally had to leave here very reluctantly, but all this was seen by Shi Xiang, and he wanted to rush up to her and tell her that the man was already married and could not come again.

But when he thought of the woman's sad appearance, he couldn't bear to tell her all this, and all this made him a monster at a loss, so he had to silently watch the woman's figure in the distance.

The next day, the woman came here again, still waiting for the man's arrival. Suddenly the man's voice came from the cabin, which made the woman feel very excited, and she was about to get up and push open the door of the cabin and enter, but was stopped by the man.

The man told her in the house that he was seriously ill and that he could not meet the woman for the time being, and hoped that she would not open the door of the wooden house. So the two of them were just like this, one outside the house and one inside the house, chatting happily across a board of wood that was not thick.

The woods were filled with laughter again, and the time passed quickly, and before the sun knew it, the woman had to get up and say goodbye to the man in the house, and then turn and go down. After seeing the woman walking away, the door of the cabin was opened, and Shi came out of the house.

It turned out that in order not to make the woman sad, Shi used his demonic power to imitate the man's voice, and then made up a reason for getting sick so that the woman could not see his true face, and then chatted with the woman in the house to deceive her.

But, however, things went on as they were, and every day the woman came here, talked to the time in the house all day, and then left. Finally, one day, the woman said that she wanted to see him, even if it was just from a distance, and then leave.

The moment the woman opened the door of the wooden house, a cool breeze hung out of the house, and then left her this sentence: "I know it's not good to deceive you all the time, but I really don't want to see you sad, I'm really sorry, I shouldn't hide it from you, that man is married and won't come here again, I hope you don't have to come again in the future"

The woman looked inside the empty wooden house, tears welling up in her eyes.

After that, he was ready to leave the forest and travel to other places, and after a very short period of time for humans, he returned to the forest again. He deliberately returned to the place of the cabin, and when he reached out and pushed open the door of the cabin, he found a yellowed envelope that had long been worn out on the floor of the house, and put a stone on it to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.

He thought that this letter should have been left for him by the woman, and he wanted to know the contents of the letter, so he wanted to find the monster called the borrowed paper and restore the letter in his hand.

Shi told Natsume all these details about himself, which is also the purpose of his desire to find the borrowed paper, and the reason why he wants to get a friend's account.

"For such a long time, I guess the woman you mentioned is no longer in this world."

Teacher Cat suddenly said to him.

"yes, it's not a long time for a youkai, but it's such a long time for a human, so I want to know what this letter is about."

He said with some sadness that these things were like yesterday to him, but he didn't expect it to be a human life. At first, because of his fear, he did not return to the cabin in time to meet the woman, but when he returned there again, it was too late.

This letter was the last message she had left behind, and she was very eager to know what was written in it, nothing more. (To be continued.) )
