Chapter 2 The Countryside
"You unfilial daughter, you haven't heard from me for a few years, and you even stuffed the burden to me!"
"Isn't that just right? I'll find someone to send you to finally come~"
"Keep it for yourself! If you continue to soak in that filthy shop, you may one day die like your husband. ”
"You don't need to care about my life or death, anyway, I will die in the big city!"
Listening to the quarrel between his mother and grandfather, Lyle, as the person concerned, was in a very relaxed mood and looked around at the scenery.
After all, everything has been mentally prepared.
Since two months ago, the man who didn't go home once a month, every time he went home just to squeeze out the money his wife had earned from selling her sex, and beating his wife when he couldn't get the money, was found dead in the alley behind the bar, and the mother went into busy mode, not only going out to work at night, but also not seeing anyone during the day on weekends. It's not to make money desperately to raise children, it's just to catch a man with financial resources and prepare a long-term meal ticket for the future life.
As for Lyle, the burden that hinders the fishing of men, it is bound to be disposed of, but it needs to wait until the end of the semester.
Lyle was worried about finding himself in something worse, he never expected anything from his mother's moral standards, and fortunately, he had recently learned that he also had a grandfather who lived in the middle of nowhere...... cough, from this, we can see how the relationship between my mother and grandfather is, there is nothing surprising, anyone who has a daughter who is a **** probably doesn't want to call every once in a while.
I also wanted to know what my grandfather's verbal reply would be if she made a request, so my mother didn't say hello at all, and took Lyle back to her hometown, knocked on the door, and unilaterally announced her decision to my grandfather, who she hadn't seen for a long time.
The mother was inevitably scolded at the door, but the scolding was scolded, the daughter was still a daughter, and the grandson was still a grandson, and she was invincible from the beginning.
"There's a kind of Lao Tzu who doesn't come back to his son to share the inheritance after he dies!" In the end, my mother didn't even enter the gate of her hometown, and left alone in the midst of abuse, moving towards a new **** life in Tokyo.
"............" Lyle quietly watched his mother's figure disappear.
There is no sadness, Lyle goes to school during the day, his mother works at night, the schedule is just staggered, there is a lack of communication, Lyle has tried to please and sell well in the past, but it all ended in a hot face and a cold ass, and he died, and the relationship between mother and son was cold.
There is no resentment, although most of the money earned by his mother's work is spent on personal enjoyment, leaving only a little living expenses, but he has supported him for eight years, and he can't be a white-eyed wolf.
Without gratitude, Lyle is not a saint, and it is really impossible to pan for gold from the of the past eight years of life to find a scene that shows the greatness of maternal love.
"The ......" retracted his gaze, and Lyle looked at his pale grandfather, who was a little sickly, and said cautiously, "Excuse me, can I stay?" ”
To be honest, even if his grandfather didn't take him in, he would still be able to live.
The more densely populated the area, the more curses, the more evil spirits, and the fewer youkai, and Lyle, who used to live in the world's second-largest city, has not seen a youkai yet, but can see cursed or evil spirits on the way to and from school almost every few days.
The first time he saw those ugly things, Lyle subconsciously wanted to attack, but a bunch of combat-related knowledge popped up in his head. Some knowledge is completely useless, such as the dragon's roar; Some knowledge requires a long period of local research, such as star magic; Some knowledge can be applied directly, such as teleportation magic and various attack magic.
It's hard to act as a 'child living alone' in human society, but with the power of magic, there is always a way to survive...... In fact, before that, Lyle often left home late at night to quietly get some pocket money and food, or at the speed of his mother's Buddha supplement, he would not starve to death or become malnourished.
Hearing this, my grandfather's expression changed, and he seemed to want to be gentle, but he didn't know how to express it, so he just turned around and walked into the house, and left a cold sentence: "Keep up." ”
“…… Excuse me. Lyle hurriedly grabbed the suitcase left by his mother and followed, but stopped as soon as he stepped into the hallway.
The grandfather, who was walking in front of the people but always paying attention to the back, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Uh, nothing." Lyle took a deep breath, ignoring the mixed evil aura he had sensed, and followed his grandfather closely.
》》》》》》》
It's a poor rural village.
At first glance, almost all of the villages are beautiful two-storey houses with no sense of dilapidation, or there is a circle of fields around the houses, or a large field directly opposite the house, and it will never give people the idea that any family will go hungry.
Of course, the only thing that can be blown is the accommodation conditions, there is nothing in the village, a grocery store selling snacks can become a popular check-in place for children in the village, and some of the living needs need to go to the county seat more than ten kilometers away to meet, and the gap between this county town and the bustling Tokyo is not ordinarily large.
Lyle could understand his mother's desire to stay in Tokyo for life and death, and he himself would not stay in the village when he grew up...... Now there is just no choice, he can't run away from home to become a thief or a beggar in order to stay in Tokyo, right?
My grandfather's economic conditions are not bad, he was able to raise Lyle to finish high school in the county, and he had a large field under his name, which was originally self-producing, but in recent years, his health has deteriorated, and he can only rent the land to other villagers and live a quiet life.
My grandfather's house is located on the outskirts of the village, close to the side of the mountain, but it is not so close that a landslide will bury the house, there are no neighbors within a radius of 100 meters, and you have to walk for a few minutes to chat, but it does not interfere with daily life.
There is not the slightest problem with the house itself, but the problem is the people inside, a descendant of Emperor Shotoku who has no talent for cultivation, will radiate power to his surroundings in a subtle and silent way, bringing misfortune to those around him. The reason why Lyle's father died unexpectedly cannot be ruled out is the possibility that he was affected by the power of his wife (Lyle was able to control his own power).
The house where my grandfather lived for a long time accumulated these powers, attracting curses and evil spirits of all sizes, turning it into a 'murderous house'. These curses and evil spirits themselves do not attack Emperor Shotoku's descendants or relatives, but they can also unconsciously emit evil thoughts that alter the environment of the house, as a result of the early death of his grandmother and the physical weakness of his grandfather.
On the first night after Lyle moved, he secretly killed all the ghosts and ghosts in his grandfather's house, but the influence of his evil thoughts for many years had completely destroyed his grandfather's body, and he was destined to not live for many years.
