Chapter 52: Doubts

Chuan Liushi was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Hara Sayuki would have this kind of affection for him.

However, he really just regarded Sayuki Hara as his sister, and had no other special feelings.

Chuanliu spit out the increasingly bitter bamboo leaves in his mouth, and said, "Shaxue, you should know, I have always treated you as a sister." ”

"You fit into a better person, a better life, that person shouldn't be me, and I can only be a confidant big brother in your life."

"So, go to Asakusa, there must be better people waiting for you there."

Listening to Chuanliushi's words, although Hara Saxue already had a premonition, her face gradually became sad, and tears began to roll in her eyes.

But she resisted the tears, turned and ran down the hill.

"Brother Chuanliushi, you are so annoying, I don't want to see you again in the future."

"Sayuki ......"

Chuan Liushi followed behind for fear that something would happen to her, so when she got home, she knocked on the door gently, but Sayuki Hara did not respond.

But when the river flowed, he could hear the suppressed cry of Sayuki Hara behind the door, and he felt a little guilty and blamed himself, but he didn't regret it.

He felt that he couldn't let Sayuki Hara stay here, and the emotions of young people were fickle, and one day Sayuki Hara would have a new person he liked.

When the river flows, he thinks that the original Sayuki can't distinguish between love and family affection.

He convinced himself that it might be because of Saxue's lack of family love that she had some special feelings......

"Saxue, remember to inform me if you come back in the future, I will come to see you."

"Trust me, you'll get to the point."

After waiting for a long time, I didn't see the original Saxue open the door, and when I saw that it was getting dark, it was not easy to go home, so I left silently.

When I came back the next day, the original Sayuki's house was already empty, and every time I passed here, I would come to see it when I was in the river, but the original Sayuki never came back.

………………

"Sayuki, are you there?"

The hand that was about to knock on the door again stopped in mid-air as the door creaked open.

The figure of Sayuki Hara appeared in his eyes.

She has grown a lot taller, and now she is about 1.7 meters tall, tall and slender, and her face is still as fair and delicate as before.

When she saw the river, Hara Sayuki's eyes smiled into a curved crescent moon, which was a familiar look when she was in the river.

She was wearing a small sleeve dress embellished with dense pink cherry blossoms, and her waist-length blonde hair was still so eye-catching.

"Brother when the river flows...... I'm finally seeing you again......"

Hara Saxue showed surprise on her face, and rushed directly to the river to hug him.

The moment the door opened, Kawayuki stiffened in place and didn't dodge, allowing Hara Sayuki to pounce into his arms and put his face close to his chest.

Sayuki ...... What happened to you...... If I hadn't asked you to go to Asakusa, would it have been avoided......

There was a flash of sadness in his eyes, and when he thought that fate was cruel enough, fate sneered and told him that it was just the beginning.

When the river is still holding the original Sayuki, the color of sadness is hidden, and joy appears in his eyes.

"Sayuki, I miss you too."

"You, you had a good time in Asakusa, you can't even remember coming back to see my cheap brother."

Saxue Hara rubbed her face against Chuanliu's chest, and refused to let go when she hugged Chuanliu, as if she was greedy for the warmth at the moment: "No, I really wanted to come back as soon as I went, but Dad didn't know what's going on, and no matter how much I begged, he didn't want to let me come back...... And people keep staring at me. ”

"I didn't have a chance to sneak out to find you until recently."

"I'm real, I've always missed you......"

Three minutes later, Chuan Liushi was helpless: "Saxue, are you hugging enough?" ”

Yuan Shaxue let go of her hand and said playfully: "You are shy, you can't hold enough, you can't hold enough." ”

When the river flowed, he smoothed Shunhara Sayuki's long golden hair, and his eyes struggled a little.

"Brother Chuanliushi, let's go to the house, it's cold outside."

Chuanliu looked behind Sayuki Hara, the windows in her room were closed, not showing a single gap, although it was daylight at this time, but it was cloudy and dark.

However, there are bright electric lights in Sayuki's house.

Lamp...... In this life, I have only seen it in the original Sayuki's house, and other people's homes are basically oil lamps.

A simple electric lamp composed of a few wires and glass, when turned on, can emit light and heat to dispel the darkness, showing the magic of this world.

The existence of ghosts may also be a miracle or a disaster in heaven and earth.

When Sayuki Hara held the river tightly with both hands, she seemed to be afraid that he would suddenly disappear.

Walking into the house, the two sat side by side behind the soft tatami mats, and Hara Sayuki slowly tilted her head, and then gently leaned on Chuanliushi's shoulder.

I didn't dodge when I was in the river, and my heart was still struggling, and it was difficult to calm down......

As if remembering something, Yuan Saxue's eyes flashed with worry, she turned her face sideways, looked at Chuanliu's face, and said carefully: "Brother Chuanliushi, what happened to your family?" ”

"I went to look for you, but I only saw your family's resting place......"

"I thought something happened to you, but I'm glad you're okay."

It had been a while since that incident, and it was clear that the souls of his parents and younger siblings had been watching him.

The help from Tanjuro and Aoieda's instructions are not hallucinations, they are real.

They are not completely gone, but accompany themselves in a whole new way.

Although, this way is not what the river wanted.

But this is also a relief, there is no such loneliness and helplessness, and the world is only left with its own sense of powerlessness.

There is light in his life, and no matter how cruel his fate is, he will not feel dark when he is in the river.

Chuan Liushi did not show sadness, and said calmly: "There was an attack by a ghost at home, and I was the only one who survived, and Tanjiro was not at home at the time, so he should be alive too." ”

"I fled in fear, and the remains of my family should have been contained by Tanjiro...... Hope he's okay. ”

Speaking of this, Chuan Liushi's eyes froze, and the killing intent produced by killing many evil ghosts came out of his body: "Saxue, you know ghosts, right? ”

This killing intent is not surging, but it is also scorching, and anyone who has experienced battle and blood can clearly perceive it.

But Hara Sayuki didn't seem to feel anything, she just tightened her collar and squeezed to the side of the river, feeling the air suddenly get a little colder.

Yuan Saxue was a little scared and curious: "Ghost? When I was a child, my father scared me and said that if I didn't obey, I would be taken away by the devil and eaten......"

"Brother, do you mean, do ghosts really exist?"

Observing Sayuki's reaction when she was in the middle of the stream, her curiosity and fear were directly reflected in the change in her expression, not as if she was pretending.

Could it be that I feel wrong?

The killing intent dissipated during the river, and the surrounding atmosphere became peaceful again.

"Yes, ghosts will appear at night and feed on people, so Sayuki it's best not to go out at night, although it is unlikely that ordinary people will encounter ghosts, but it is good to be careful."

Hearing the words of Kawaru's caring tone, the corners of Hara Sayuki's mouth outlined a happy smile.

Her eyebrows and eyes are curved like a crescent moon in the sky.
