"Brother, wake up quickly, otherwise it will be too late."

"It will be a pity if you miss this opportunity. Brother, if you don't get up, the girl will have to go alone."

"Brother, I'm leaving..."

…

A somewhat childish voice sounded in Yuan Zhisheng's ears.

At first, the owner of the voice was very anxious and kept urging Yuan Zhisheng to wake up. Later, when he saw that Yuan Zhisheng had not woken up, he became hesitant, and when he left later, he became extremely disappointed.

It seems that the wonderful things that happen next cannot be shared with each other.

After hearing the footsteps retreating, Yuan Zhisheng knew that he had to wake up and must not continue to sleep, because he had to stand by his side for what happened next to the boy, otherwise he would regret it in his life.

.

Yuan Zhisheng tried his best to open his eyelids and finally woke up with all his strength.

At the same time, he also saw the boy who was about to disappear before his eyes.

Yuan Zhisheng recognized him at first sight. He was Yuan Zhisheng, his younger brother. He was wearing a thin kimono and his back looked extremely thin.

At this moment, the other party was almost disappearing from sight.

Yuan Zhisheng didn't dare to neglect, he quickly got out of bed, put on his clothes and shoes, put on a black windbreaker and walked out.

He had no idea that this black windbreaker did not exist at his age.

Because now he is still a student in Shikatori Town.

It was raining lightly outside, and it was already late autumn. The wind, rain, and ice were so cold that people couldn't help but shiver all over.

Yuan Zhisheng frowned, even he felt chilly. The girl was wearing such thin clothes, how could she not be cold? If she got a cold or a fever, that hateful alcoholic adoptive father would not pay for the girl's treatment.

For a moment, Yuan Zhisheng was worried.

So I quickly sped up to catch up.

Yuan Zhennu walked in the cold wind and seemed to feel cold, but she never stopped. It seemed that there was something the other party had to do ahead of her.

Yuan Zhisheng was a little angry. He felt that Zhinu was too irresponsible to him. He was already weak and was wearing such thin clothes. If he continued like this, he would definitely catch a cold or a fever.

But at the same time, Yuan Zhisheng was also somewhat curious.

Because in my impression, although my younger brother has low self-esteem and is sensitive, he is often willful. At least in this weather, he will dress warmly, just to avoid getting sick and burdening others.

But now the young girl didn't care. Perhaps it was because the matter she was about to face was so urgent that the young girl didn't have time to find thick clothes to wear, so she hurried out.

But what is it that allows a boy to have such persistence?

In the past, Yuan Zhisheng took his daughter to play basketball together, but neither of them was very willing. They felt that if they didn't play well, they would make a fool of themselves, and they rarely even saw the other party participating in recreational activities. But now, he insists on playing basketball alone.

And nothing seems to have happened recently, which makes Yuan Zhisheng curious.

While moving forward, Yuan Zhisheng walked around the town.

Yuan Zhisheng followed behind, feeling more and more astonished because he found that he could not catch up with the other party. Obviously the young girl was not fast, and in order to catch up quickly, he at least let the young girl put on his windbreaker first.

So Yuan Zhisheng started running all the way.

After a while, I found that I was still some distance away from Yuan Jingnu. It was like a mirror image. She was clearly in front of her, but she couldn't touch her at all.

Wow wow wow!

Soon the light rain turned into heavy rain.

Perhaps because of the heavy rain, Yuan Zhisheng's footsteps were obviously faster. In order not to be pulled down, Yuan Zhisheng speeded up again.

There are not many pedestrians in the whole Shikatori town. Perhaps because of the rain, the villagers are staying at home. When passing by a house, the sound of TV, the sound of children playing and the clatter of various cooking pots and spoons can be heard.

.

Although it is windy and rainy outside, it is full of happiness inside.

It's so warm...

Yuan Zhisheng couldn't help but sigh.

If the younger brother and daughter had not gone out this time, after waking up, the two brothers would have secretly roasted sweet potatoes in the cave in the back mountain. I remember that not long ago, they dug out two large sweet potatoes from a vegetable field and roasted them over a wood fire.

This sweet potato is as sweet as hot toffee.

However, Yuan Zhisheng decided that when he catches up with Zongnu, he will bring him back no matter what.

Even if there is something else that I want to get involved in, I have to at least wait until the rain stops.

Soon the view ahead became wider.

A simple building appeared in sight. It had a long dragon-like roof ridge, ancient patterns carved on the stone walls, and two large twisted characters written on the building's plaque - Shikatori.

The young girl actually came to Shikatori Shrine.

Yuan Zhisheng suddenly woke up, and there were waves of laughing girls' voices all around, which was a kind of uncontrollable curiosity and excitement.

Yuan Zhisheng suddenly remembered that today is the day when girls from the city serve as apprentice shrine maidens at the shrine to pray for the town.

During the day, they will learn various rituals that need attention at the shrine, all for the purpose of praying at night. At night, the girls wear white witch costumes and walk around the town carrying white paper lanterns.

It is likened to the power of gods blessing the town and driving away the uncleanness in every corner of the town.

No wonder there were so many excited shouts from girls. Girls from the city must have arrived.

Minamoto has witnessed this kind of ceremony with his own eyes, so he is familiar with it. However, this kind of blessing ceremony has always been something that the palace priests in the shrine and the trainee witches are involved in. How could a boy like Minamoto come to such a place?

There was no room for further thought. The girl had already entered the Shikatori Shrine, and Minamoto had no choice but to follow him, fearing that his brother would do something wrong and cause a series of troubles.

When performing sacrifices at a shrine in Japan, it is a very taboo thing to be disturbed, which is equivalent to blaspheming the gods. Not only will the young girl be severely punished, but other people will also feel that they will be under the influence of the gods.

punish.

In fact, Yuan Zhisheng doesn't believe in so-called gods at all.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If there is really a god who protects the world, how could the two brothers be allowed to suffer so much? Or is it that they are not worthy of what the god calls them?

of noble love.

So no matter what aspect, he doesn't like the so-called gods.

But now that he saw the young girl entering Shikatori Shrine, Minamoto was extremely anxious.

If a young girl does something wrong, it will definitely be a very terrible misunderstanding, so the young girl must be cautious, and it may even endanger the young girl's safety.

If the alcoholic adoptive father took the opportunity to vent his anger, the girl might be punished even more severely.

"Girl! Come back! Come back!"

Seeing the girl going deeper and deeper, Yuan Zhisheng, who was too late, called out loudly.

Trying to use his identity to make the young girl look back.

But he was going to be disappointed after all. The other party didn't seem to hear his voice at all, and didn't even pause. Instead, he walked faster and faster, as if he was extremely looking forward to what would happen next.

Yuan Zhisheng's heart sank, he stopped shouting and ran directly after him.

At this moment, he was praying in his heart, praying that the girl would be safe and sound.

When he passed by three stone Jizos in the town, Yuan Zhisheng once used mud lakes to trap the eyes, ears and mouths of these Jizos, because he did not believe that they could bring pure peace to this small town. Every day there would be

There is all kinds of gossip.

For example, whose men are cheating on food, which family's widow has a good kung fu, or whose family has lost money in gambling, or borrowed money from so and so, and because of the isolation of the town, these news are ringing in almost everyone's ears.

It's coming, and you can't even hide from it.

Not only that, every time it rained, Minamoto would knock off the leaves from Ishijizo's head.

There has always been a tradition in the town, saying that blocking the rain for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva will bring good luck to the town where it is located. So every time it rains, there will be an uncle like a cattail leaf fan on the head of these stone Ksitigarbha to block the rain.

But Yuan Zhisheng was so helpless that he would come here every time in the rain just to lift off the leaves and let the stone Jizo get wet with rain.

Some people say that whoever lifts these leaves will be plagued by bad luck, but Yuan Zhisheng didn't feel any bad luck at that time, that is, he had diarrhea a few times, but the passage was smooth.

And even if it is diarrhea, it is not a punishment from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. It is probably just a little bit of wind and cold when I ran out in the rain.

But when he saw with his own eyes that Yuan Zhisheng would be severely punished for breaking into the shrine, Yuan Zhisheng was really panicked. As an older brother, he even started to pray blindly, hoping that there would be something in the world that could bless Zhi.

Women don't want anything to happen.

Yuan Zhisheng quickened his pace and ran extremely fiercely.

Until he also broke into the shrine.

As a result, he was stunned.

The joy and excitement of the girls could be heard in my ears.

"Look, look, what a beautiful young lady!"

"She should be a goddess from the shrine, she is really elegant."

…

In the shrine, the girls exclaimed and looked in the same direction together.
