Chapter 137: Staying Together (10)
Just when Inuyama Heita was about to fall into the air and fall into the river, Qian Xiaoyi grabbed his collar and pulled him back.
"The challenge failed, Heitaro." Qian Xiaoyi held a cigarette in his mouth, looked at the white fish belly on the horizon, and said, "Look at what you are holding in your own hand?"
Heita Inuyama felt like he was holding it in his hand A cool, slippery thing, and the thing was still moving. So he looked down and found that it was a big fat toad. He screamed in horror and threw the toad out. It landed in the grass and jumped away.
Inuyama Heita said in frustration: "I thought what I was holding was a token charm..."
He felt sleepy and tired now, and he didn't know how long he had been wandering in the ghost realm. Obviously, he kept fighting through the thorns amidst the teasing of the foxes, and finally got the token and was about to return to the shrine. Unexpectedly, he fell into the trap and went down the wrong road. If Qian Xiaoyi hadn't caught him, he would have changed. Become a drowned rat.
"Inuyama-san, hello, Inuyama-san! Look to the side!" Takeru's noisy voice rang in his ears: "Look at me, look over here! Can you hear me?"
Heita Inuyama is in charge Wiping on his clothes to wipe off the slippery feeling, he said to Ajian in disgust: "Stop shouting, Mr. Ajian, you are making a lot of noise. Where have you been before?"
“I have always I'm beside you, trying to attract your attention. I just kept reminding you, but you didn't listen at all." Ajian was also exhausted: "Brother Yi said he wanted to exercise my influence in the ghost realm created by other ghosts. "Power, I have been working hard to interfere with the fox demon's illusion. Didn't you hear a little bit of my voice?"
Inuyama Heita shook his head blankly: "Not at all, Mr. Takeru, your sense of existence is too weak." ”
"Huh? Aren't you too slow?" Ajian was very angry.
"Okay, let's go back before dawn." Qian Xiaoyi yawned: "If you go back earlier, you can still sleep for two or three hours."
Hearing this, Inuyama Heita complained: "We won't have to train like this every day in the next few days. ? If you stay up late every day, your hair will fall out."
Qian Xiaoyi said: "No, just staying up one night is enough. I'm too lazy to watch you every day."
Ah Jian. His eyes lit up: "You mean we don't need special training in the future?!"
Inuyama Heita also cheered up. He really couldn't hold on to such special training every day.
"What a beautiful idea." Qian Xiaoyi smiled and said: "Heitaro, haven't you noticed yet? You have been 'marked' by those foxes, and they will be able to influence you without the ghost domain. It's your turn. From now on, the special training at night will be as usual, but in a dream. I will set up a barrier in your room so that they can't trick you into leaving. But in the dream, it's not me who has the final say. When the time comes, you have to work hard to maintain the knowledge that you are dreaming, otherwise you will be embarrassed in front of others."
Inuyama Heita was shocked: "When were they marked? Why are they looking for me? !”
“Oh, it was marked before you came.” Qian Xiaoyi shrugged and said, “I used your hair to forge your identity and wreak havoc in the shrine. , committed the crime of blasphemy, so of course the foxes will play pranks on you to retaliate."
"How can it be like this!" Inuyama Heita was very angry.
Ajian asked: "But are those foxes really monsters? This is also the first time I have seen real monsters."
Qian Xiaoyi said: "The origin of Shintoism is the local shamanism sect , the belief in all things being animistic is what the so-called eight million gods are like. We also have various animal god beliefs in the Northeast. Those foxes are the residual knowledge accumulated from the time when the shrine was worshiped, plus the bonus of the shrine area. , once activated in some way , this special ghost realm will appear... Well, this is in a shrine, it should be called a divine realm."
Inuyama Heita nodded: "I understand."
Aken. "I don't understand it at all." After secretly returning to the hotel, Inuyama Heita and Qian Xiaoyi slept in their respective rooms for a while, then got up and had breakfast. After that, Inuyama Heita couldn't hold it any longer and went back to the room to rest. , it seems that he will not be able to participate in today's event.
"What's wrong with Inuyama-kun?" Owada Yui asked strangely: "You look like you don't have enough sleep. Did you not sleep well? What did you do last night?"
A few boys were also a little confused. , Kawasaki held the rice bowl and said: "He didn't do anything. He played poker for a while and fell asleep. Could it be that he had nightmares at night and didn't sleep well?"
"Maybe he recognized the pillow. Sato said: "Some people are like that. It's difficult to fall asleep in a strange environment."
Miyamoto Yushi asked: "But he slept well the night before... Could it be that he slept well yesterday." What shameful things did you do at night? Hey, girls, have you closed the door at night?"
Suzuki sighed: "Your words are already harassment, maybe he is just innocent. I just didn’t sleep well.”
"That's right~" Miyamoto Yushi suddenly said excitedly: "Compared to that, Ono-san, your energy seems to be much better than yesterday. Can you go out today?"
Ono Harina is very ladylike He nodded and said with a smile: "Thanks to you, I'm getting better. I was a little uncomfortable yesterday, but it's not good to stay in the hotel all the time. It's rare to go out for a walk."
"That's true." Miyamoto Yongzhi dedicated his life to Yin Qindao: "Kawasaki-san said that he is going fishing today. It will be up to me later. I will take care of Ono-san's share. I will definitely catch a few big fish."
"Thank you." Ono Covering his mouth and laughing, he said, "No. But I also want to try it myself. I have never fished before..."
Sato said: "Is that so? I will teach you later. My dad teaches in Hawaii. Pass me..."
"Are you Conan-kun?" Suzuki complained expressionlessly.
"Hahahaha..."
Everyone was chatting and laughing happily in the cafeteria, but Qian Xiaoyi looked at Ono Hina's face from the corner of his eye. The little girl's expression was indeed It's much better than before, but Qian Xiaoyi always feels that something is wrong. In just one day, this change is a bit big.
When she first arrived, Qian Xiaoyi could still see her fear and uneasiness about her hometown. What happened last year was still affecting her. If she was infected by the simple rural atmosphere after arriving, it would be even more strange, because she had a day off yesterday and didn't go anywhere.
With doubts, Qian Xiaoyi has been silently observing Ono Haruna in the following activities, but whether it is fishing by the river, swimming in the river, or eating grilled fish at noon , this girl behaved very normally, and she was getting happier and happier. She didn't seem to be affected by last year at all.
High school students were playing by the water, filled with the sour smell of youth. Qian Xiaoyi yawned and sat down next to a tree to sleep for a while. When they were packing up their things and going back, they unexpectedly encountered a group of people wearing black kimonos and formal attire. The woman in the lead was holding an urn in her hand and, led by a monk, walked towards the cemetery on the mountain.
"It's the Honda family's funeral..." Kawasaki said: "Is today the day of burial? I remember that Grandpa Honda gave me a lot of candies when I was a child... It's really unpredictable."
< br>"Can I go over and have a look?" Qian Xiaoyi suddenly asked.
Kawasaki was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "If you just take a look, it should be fine."
