My Weird Life

   Chapter 373 The elders and the younger (12)

  Hoo!

   Putting the clothes on his body, Su Wu just ran out of the door with Da Mu,

   A gust of cold wind blows in the face,

   made him shudder.

  When he and Damu came to the sword casting shop in the morning, it had just rained, so the temperature was obviously lower.

   But at that time Su Wu did not feel the slightest coldness,

   At the moment, he was shivered by the cold wind.

  —He entered the simulation with consciousness, and his real body stayed outside, so he could feel the unusualness of this cold wind even more.

  Su Wu and Damu ran out of the sword casting place.

  The road mixed with stone and mud stretches forward,

   Wooden houses and shops are lined up on the street.

  Under the eaves of some houses, there are also cloth blocks of various colors, and various goods are placed on the cloth blocks—this should be a stall set up by a traveling merchant. The stall is still there, but the merchants and vendors have disappeared!

   They didn't have time to pack up,

   Go and escape this coming night by yourself!

   It can be seen that darkness is indeed a very terrifying environment in the perception of Dongliu Islanders!

  Su Wu looked up at the sky,

   The setting sun on the horizon was trembling, and it was about to fall into the end of the line of sight, below the tallest wooden building.

   It is powerless to shine,

   himself shrouded in a dim yellow color,

  The dim yellow color diffused from around the setting sun to the sky. Su Wu and Da Mu only walked a dozen steps, and the whole sky turned dim yellow.

  Dark yellow renders the house and the earth in this color.

   Even the whitened face of Oki in front of him also turned sallow.

   "Dang!" "Dang!" "Dang!"

   At this time, a rapid and continuous sound of bells came from a certain monastery outside the market.

   seems to be urging those who have not yet returned home to rush home as soon as possible.

   Su Wu's face paled when he saw Damu.

   So he called out, "Damu!

  Haruko - Miss, should have gone home by now!

   Let's go home first!

   It will be too late! "

  Damu hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, and then shook his head vigorously to refuse: "No, no! Don't you know the personality of the young lady? She asked us to pick her up, and she will definitely wait for us to pick her up at the same place!

  If we can't get her,

   She will die in this dark sky! "

   This 'Miss Haruko' is so stubborn and stubborn?

  The catastrophe is imminent and you don’t know how to escape?

  Su Wu changed his mind and did not advise Da Mu any more. He and Da Mu crossed the muddy road together and ran wildly to the corner of the market.

   He simulates with consciousness at the moment, and doesn't care about his own life or death,

   With these people at the moment, whether it is his companion, Daki, or the craftsman who gave him ink, he actually has no relationship, so he doesn't care so much about other people's lives and deaths.

   put aside the life and death of himself and others,

   He really wanted to touch the night on Dongliu Island right now,

  See what horrors are in this night.

   Therefore, Ogi's choice is also in his heart.

  Tap tap!

   The footsteps of the two of them echoed in the empty street,

When    turns a corner,

  Su Wu saw a mud house around the corner,

  The two doors of the mud house opened,

Wearing a Wu suit with a few hairpins on her head, her face was so white that she had put on several layers of powder, her lips were strawberry-like a little vermilion, and her eyebrows were also very stubby, standing between the two doors, looking towards Su. Noon and Oki waved their hands.

  Su Wu felt a cold and strange rhyme from the woman,

  Damu's face was nervous, and he reminded Su Wu in a low voice: "Don't go there!

  Otherwise we will have to go to see you in the 'Mud Lady Temple' tomorrow! "

   He saw Su Wu observing the Wufu woman for a long time,

   thought that the other party was bewitched and wanted to respond to the beckoning of the woman in Wufu, and approached the mud house behind the door where she was standing.

  Su Wu felt that the strange rhyme emanating from this 'Wufu woman' was not strong,

  According to the seven levels of Wei Wei by the Weird Countermeasures Department,

  'Wufu woman' should be the lowest level of 'hung'.

  Damu seems to know something about this stern,

   It can be seen that most of the ordinary people in this place are aware of the 'Wufu woman', which is very strange. If this is the case, why don't you want to drive it away or imprison it?

  Even if the danger level is low,

   But once there is an accident, it must also cost the life of one, or even several people!

   "Abu, the craftsman in the sword casting workshop and the priest in the Soseki Shrine have all said that many scorpions are the spirits of mountains, rivers, plants, and even things. As long as we don't touch them, they won't take the initiative to harm us.

   Have you forgotten the words of the craftsman and the priest?

  Why did you just..." Walking past the mud house built by the woman in Wufu, Da Mu couldn't help complaining to Su Wu in a low voice.

   seems to feel that Su Wu's previous behavior is a bit out of line,

   actually wanted to take the initiative to contact Li Wei.

   "The craftsmen and priests have said things like this—then are they right?

   Have no one here died in a terrifying attack anymore? When Su Wu heard what Da Mu said, he immediately thought that Dongliu Island had mastered some kind of special method, so that as long as he did not take the initiative to contact Li Wei, he could avoid being attacked by Li Wei and die because of it.

   asked Oki with a serious look.

  Oki looked at him,

   opened his mouth.

   After a long while, he lowered his head and said, "How is it possible? People still die every day. Yesterday, the little dog's parents, grandfather, and his sister were all killed by Li Wei."

   'It seems that the priest and the craftsman are not right...' These words hovered in Su Wu's mind for a moment, but he did not say it.

   With his shallow understanding of Dongliu Island,

  The people of Dongliu Island are quite naughty, and there should be a deep-rooted trust in the profession of priest.

   The sky is getting darker and darker,

   Yellow is a little black.

  Damu was even more anxious, and ran wildly, occasionally looking back at Su Wu who was following behind him.

  —Su Wu has already seen that Damu is timid. Every time he looks back, he mainly confirms whether his companions are following him. If he is not accompanied, he has no courage to go out to find someone at this time.

   Su didn't know the way yet in the afternoon,

  If he knew the way,

   You can also walk ahead.

  Soseki Shrine is located in this prosperous market area where most of them are wooden houses, but a few mud houses and stone houses.

  The torii painted in vermilion lacquered stands in front of the shrine,

   There are several tall soy sauce-colored wooden pavilions, which are the main body of the shrine.

   At this time, the architecture of these shrines was very different from the Tang Dynasty.

   There is no distinction between 'Baoxia' and 'Baofeng' like later generations. Dongliu Island completely copied the rituals, architectural styles and culture of the Tang Dynasty, and evolved and eroded them in the following years.

   Little by little, these things that belonged to Taiya were ‘turned’ into their own.

  Introduces the history of the shrine. In front of the stone monument that mainly worships the gods, the top is snow-white silk and the bottom is a red dress. A girl in a beautiful witch costume is standing there holding an umbrella.

   Her delicate and sweet face was full of resentment,

   I felt a little bit gnashing my teeth.

  Su Wu and Da Mu rushed over from the side street. Da Mu stretched out his head and saw the resentment on 'Miss Haruko'.

   Su Wu didn't care about this either, he walked directly to the shrine and his eyes fell on the beautifully dressed woman.

   seems to be a woman's clothing,

   He has seen it in many anime and games,

   This kind of costume is slightly different from the costumes in the anime and games of Toryu Island in later generations, but it can still be recognized at a glance. This is the clothes that the priestess of Toryu Island will wear on formal occasions such as shrine sacrifices.

   This lady from the "Inoue Family",

   Is she still a witch?

   also makes sense,

  The highest-level shrine on Dongliu Island has always used royal princesses as witches to show the seriousness and legitimacy of offering sacrifices to gods.

  The princess of the royal family is also known as the 'Zaiwang' as a shrine maiden.

   In this way, it is normal for the women of the public family, nobles, and wealthy families to be witches.

   After all, this kind of thing is always glorious.

   "Why are you only here now?!"

Seeing Su Wu and Damu approaching, 'Miss Haruko' was even more important, she clenched the oil-paper umbrella in her hand, her eyes were burning with fire, "Didn't we say we're going to Mingqing Village to catch hares today? ?

   It's getting dark now,

   How to get there? ! "

   Go to the village to catch hares?

  Su Wu looked at Haruko's tender and sweet face, and at the same childish Oki beside him, only to realize that he was actually a young man just like them.

  The life of a teenager is always full of curiosity and yearning.

   He did not speak,

  Wait for Oki to say something.

  Damu cried and looked up at the sky: "Miss, it's too late, let's go catch rabbits tomorrow - if we delay any longer, we may not be able to go home!"

"Well!

  There is a saying in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, called a gentleman's words, a horse is hard to chase!

  You have broken the promise between gentlemen,

   should be punished for this! "Harukko raised Sujie's chin, and a sly light flashed in her eyes, "You stretch out your heads!" "

   "Hey..." Daki bowed his head in despair, but he bowed his head as he said.

   Haruko looked at Abu, who was standing still, and was actually a little anxious.

   But in order to establish prestige under his own hands,

   She can't relax without saying anything today!

   "Abu!

  Why don't you bow your head?

   Don't you want to be a gentleman? " Haruko urged.

  Su Wu shook his head without changing his face: "I don't want to."

"Since you..." Haruko didn't hear Su Wu's words clearly, so she would continue to express her opinion, but she knew that the other party didn't follow her train of thought, she just said the word 'don't want', and prepared her The speech was all blocked.

   She couldn't help being stunned: "Huh?"

   Immediately, his cheeks flushed: "Then you have also broken your promise, put your head over here!"

"Miss,

   The reason why I broke my promise with you is to fulfill a greater promise to the craftsman.

  To fulfill the promise of the craftsman is to fulfill the expectations of Master Inoue to me,

  There is a saying in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, which is called: the superior and the inferior are ordered, and the elder and the young are different. If you do not follow the order of the elder and the inferior, you will not be able to justify your name.

  Miss Haruko, since you want to be a gentleman,

   Do you want me to go against the expectations of Master Inoue, your father,

   Do you use this to fulfill your promise? "Su Wu looked at the girl seriously.

  Haruko stayed for a while,

   looked even more depressed, but didn't say much in the end.

   The oil-paper umbrella she held in her hand did not knock on the heads of Da Mu and Su Wu, and instead said angrily: "Let's go, go home soon!"
