How to be a mother to Shanyi

Chapter 17

When the time passed midnight and the moon was rising high, my wife Shan Yi suddenly woke up.

He heard the sound of birds rapidly soaring their wings gradually approaching, and accompanied by the rustling of the wind, the air flow passed through the smooth and smooth feathers of the birds, with vibrations that were so subtle that ordinary people could not detect it, it spread into my wife Shanyi in the ears.

So he subconsciously opened his eyes, his golden-brown eyes flashed with confusion for a moment, and then he sat up "teng", the not-so-soft heavy cotton bedding provided by the hotel slipped from his chest and piled up loosely on his body, taking away the warmth , into a gust of cold wind.

The sound of the wind, the sound of birds flying, the sleeping breathing of the people next door and below, the sound of insects, the sound of your own heartbeat, and——

My wife Shanyi held her breath and looked towards the window.

……

When they booked this hotel, the rooms with a more suitable location had already been booked by the students participating in the Tenjin Festival, so when it was their turn to check in, they could only be allocated a room on the top floor facing the street, which was so small There is only an interstitial hut with six stacks of tatami mats—perhaps the only advantage of this hut is that it barely has a narrow window on the wall.

The crow-black haired boy's eyes were slightly downcast, his eyes were half-closed, his face was solemn, he seemed to be wandering, and he seemed to be thinking about something seriously.

The resentment that always floated on his face in the past seems to have disappeared unconsciously, and he no longer looks so hostile when he is expressionless, and he is unusually peaceful. Leaning on the window sill, with a single palm propped on his chin, his blue-green pupils like malachite seem to be able to fold a light fluorescent color under the shining moonlight. look.

—Brother didn’t know when he woke up.

Probably the movement of my wife Shanyi turning over and sitting up also alarmed him, the pair of cool blue-toned clear and light green pupils slowly moved in one direction, and the lackluster eyes drew a half-arc, and moved from the window to my wife Shanyi , and then slightly loosened the 01:30 frown.

"When you wake up, change your clothes quickly."

Yan Yue said with a blank face, and with his fingertips that looked extraordinarily pale under the moonlight, he touched my wife Shanyi's pillow. There was a neat stack of "tofu cubes" lying there It was not so neat before), and on the top there was a scabbard scabbard scabbard that was worn out. It was the ghost-slaying sword that Jigoro Kuwashima asked them to bring before they left Taoshan.

"The news from the teacher has just arrived. You'd better not waste time." Yan Yue said: "I originally planned to wake you up at this time, but I don't need to waste my time when I wake up. Let's go out after a while. Don't go on the roof. Follow me all the time—”

He paused briefly for an instant before continuing with the second half of the sentence.

"——except ghosts, if you notice anything else, just pretend you didn't see it, and listen to me tell you what to do, remember?"

"..."

In front of my wife Shanyi, who belatedly realized what this sentence meant, Yan Yue pretended not to see the frightened face of his useless son who was instantly turned blue from fright, and silently turned his head out of the window again.

……

Yan Yue originally did not intend to let my wife Shanyi know anything related to the other side, be it gods or artifacts, if the living people on this side interact with it for a long time, the people who will be hurt in the end are mostly more fragile human beings.

Although Huang Yue doesn't know why he understands this well, he somehow knows that this may cause the living soul to get lost in the gap between this shore and the other shore, and it may cause the soul to be unstable, and it may even be serious for human beings. Break away from the living body and become a weak "half demon".

Even for the most relaxing consequences, you have to face at least a period of time to see the "monster" from the other side's vision-maybe it's okay for the brave, as long as you control yourself not to meet the monster's eyes, then most of them will not be caught. Keep an eye on it, but if it's his good-for-nothing son...

Uh, how likely is it to avoid screaming and crying, and then being knocked out by a surprise-looking monster?

Forget it, it's hopeless, just wait to die.

Thinking of this situation, Yue Yue couldn't help but his forehead twitched. Of course he didn't want the other side to be revealed to his careless son, but he couldn't hold back if he didn't go to the mountain. In the news that the crow sent, it was to ask Yan Yue to take my wife Shanyi to the southeast to search for any traces of ghosts, while he himself was investigating in the northwest. The previous guess about finding ghosts was actually not accurate, it was just that They just found some clues, so Mr. Sang Dao just asked them to go out to investigate together, and didn't have the idea of ​​directly encountering ghosts and cannibals.

The possibility of bumping into a man-eating ghost is indeed very small, but bumping into a woe god running around on other people's roofs in the middle of the night... Wouldn't it be better to see a ghost?

It seems that their goals are not the same, and the town is so big, no matter how unlucky they are, they won't just run into that God of Disaster - if he is more careful, he should be fine.

Yan Yue thought so.

So he didn't explain anything, he simply reminded his junior brother not to pay attention to what he shouldn't pay attention to, and he didn't notice that this kind of statement seemed a bit like some kind of intimidation, so he stood up with a sullen expression, and put on the blue-purple triangle-patterned shirt. Hanori raised his hand to lift the window a little higher, revealing a gap that one person could get through, and stepped on the narrow window sill first.

"Don't dawdle, hurry up and keep up."

Huang Yue turned his head, and urged the blond junior impatiently in a low voice, who had hurriedly put on his clothes, and then jumped down, landing lightly on the ground.

Behind him, my wife Shanyi jumped down with a mournful face, her teeth chattering and tears in her eyes. Shanyi wished he could rush up and hug his senior brother's thigh and cry loudly, to commemorate his lost sense of security.

—Say it!Really speak out!That's what the brother said, right?Besides ghosts that can eat people, there are other more terrifying things!It's so scary that the senior brother asked him to pretend he couldn't see it! ! !

Is it a monster?Definitely a monster, right? !It's the kind of monster that snatches and eats children at night, right? ! !Otherwise, why would the brother tell him such strange things? It must be that the monster brother discovered the same kind, so he was reminding him to be careful of being eaten! ! !

He really did hear it!The senior brother woke up when he was half asleep, changed his clothes rustlingly, and received a note from the crow. The heartbeat sounded steadily beside him, accompanied by a strange but familiar feeling Such a terrible mess of heart sounds.

And besides that... I don't know if it's an illusion, but when he was in an uneasy sleep, he vaguely noticed the sound of light footsteps passing through the roof quickly, but when he suddenly woke up, it seemed to be an illusion, the roof It was peaceful and quiet, and there was no sound of soles touching bricks in his ears, everything seemed to be an auditory hallucination imagined by him.

At the time, he thought it was an auditory hallucination, but now that he thinks about it, this is not right anywhere, right? !According to the brother, the footsteps on the roof he heard at that time was probably the monster who was trying to catch children on the roof in the middle of the night? !It's super scary!

"Master, brother..."

So my wife Shanyi trembled and shouted in a low voice, stretching out her hand tremblingly to grab the corner of the blue-patterned feather knitting fluttering behind Yu Yue, racking her brains to try to persuade the senior brother to give up such a dangerous activity—just, Even if grandpa asks them to come out, they can go to grandpa first!Walking through the gloomy alleys haunted by monsters, isn't it too scary?

He was really scared, he only learned the simplest one type, and he was not as powerful as senior brother Yue Yue, and he also met this kind of scary monster (although I didn't see it) that would eat children (I imagined it), Of course the senior brother will have no problem, but if the senior brother gets distracted and doesn't protect him well, he will definitely be eaten by the monster immediately, right?

So, even if you are looking for grandpa, can you stop first—?

"..."

It seems that my wife Shanyi's expectations came true, or maybe he encountered some unexpected incident that he didn't notice. Symptomatically stopped.

My wife Shanyi also stopped, her palm just caught the blue-patterned feather horn hanging down by gravity, pinched it awkwardly, then raised her face in a daze, and glanced at the black hair from the back of her neck. The blue string wearing golden hook jade protruding from the tail looked at the back of his senior brother's fluffy black head.

--What's wrong?

He opened his mouth subconsciously, just about to ask this question, but before he could make a sound, he suddenly felt that he was grabbing his senior brother Haori's wrist tightly, and then he was pushed to the side by a thrust, his back was tight Leaning tightly against the wall of the alley.

The senior brother who stopped walking suddenly turned around, with a tense face, nervousness and vigilance in the blue-green eyes, he directly dragged him to lean against the side of the wall, and quickly raised his hand, Covering his mouth, he stopped his intention to ask aloud.

"...?"

--What happened?

At the same time, it was like a film was suddenly lifted in the air. I didn't notice anything before, but now it seemed to be suddenly fished out of the sinking pool. My wife Shanyi suddenly heard it. Very presentable voice.

It seems that some people are entangled with large animals at the corner of the alley, and they are accompanied by complaints such as "Why did I meet the monster so soon and I haven't found the artifact yet?" Although the distance is not close, But it doesn't sound like it's going anywhere.

"Don't make a sound."

The senior brother lowered his voice, frowned, and looked nervous, but he didn't look at him, he just kept staring at the entrance of the alley, and at the same time moved his face a little closer, under the light of a small beam of golden light reflected by the jade around his neck. , whispered in his ear:

"Let's step softly and step back slowly, so as not to be noticed by the other side - do you understand? Shanyi."
