It's too difficult to fall in love with rewards

Chapter 14 14. Is the Tengu a real creature?
After hanging her head in silence for a long time, the back of her neck became sore, Mrs. Tachibana finally raised her head.

The wind with moist water vapor blew in from the window, brushed against the cheeks, and slightly messed up some hair.

Madam glanced at Tachibana Qingxue uncomfortably, then peeked at Tachibana Qingxian again, and said in a relatively weak voice for the first time:

"This... How would I know about this kind of thing? The reason for Xiaochun's dissatisfaction is definitely not me. Who knows what strange things those people said to him. In short, it is impossible for a living person like him to disappear like smoke. It must be Someone used some thaumaturgy on him, no, it was a spell. Xiao Chun will become disobedient, it must be because of the spell..."

The madam babbled like a stubborn old woman, and Ju Qingxue looked at her with pity.

"I do not think so……"

Patriarch Tachibana, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly interrupted his wife's nagging, and expressed his point of view with a flat tone and expression.

"As a doctor, I really can't believe in spells and other nonsense. From a physical point of view, there is no energy in the world that can control a person from a distance. The reason for Xiaochun's departure is actually very obvious. gone."

Ju Qingxue asked him politely: "May I ask why?"

When facing the head of the family, her attitude is much more polite than facing the wife.

"Do you need me to explain in detail?" Patriarch Lihua sighed and looked at his wife, "Although I don't believe that there are monsters in this world, I will not discourage Xiaochun's curiosity in this regard, let alone suppress him. Ma'am, shouldn't it be time for you to think about it?"

After listening to her husband's questioning, Mrs. Lihua immediately regained her original momentum, and scolded her husband: "You are so shameless that you doubted your wife in front of outsiders! I was blind at the time, otherwise how could I marry you?" you……"

"Can you make some sense?"

"Where am I being unreasonable? Oh, I understand, now you dislike me for being old—"

"Where?"

The corners of Patriarch Lihua's eyes twitched, apparently caught off guard by this sudden turning.

"Are you still pretending to be stupid?" Mrs. Lihua asked angrily: "You clearly blamed me because I drove away the newly recruited nurse a few years ago—"

"?"

Patriarch Tachibana was dumbfounded.

That nurse...he has forgotten what people look like now.

"Stop arguing, both of you."

Ju Qingxue has been frowning patiently since just now, and when she finally couldn't stand it anymore, she stopped the two of them.

Mrs. Lihua glared at her fiercely: "Shut up!"

After scolding Ju Qingxue, she asked her husband relentlessly: "You must explain it clearly to me today! Do you still miss that young nurse? Do you think I, an old woman, is hindering you..."

"Ugh……"

Patriarch Tachibana was very tired.

Whenever we quarrel, we bring up those old things and use them as excuses. When will this kind of life end...

Today's fear of marriage... Ju Qingxian felt a little blood pressure just looking at it, and mourned for the head of the family for a second in his heart.

At this moment, Ju Qingxue turned her head to look at him, and also blinked.

'Brother, fuck her! '

Ju Qingxian understood immediately.

Picking up the teacup on the table with his little hand, he smashed it hard.

"boom!"

The teacup shattered.

Mrs. Tachibana, who was talking about the past ten years ago, was startled, and the tea was left along the table, wet the hem of the kimono.

She frowned and looked at Ju Qingxian, trying to suppress her anger, "Ah Qing, what are you doing!"

"Ma'am, I want you to understand one thing, we are not here to hear you quarreling with your husband, and we are not interested in your family affairs." Ju Qingxian only glanced at his wife, with some impatience in his indifferent tone , "If you really only care about whether Tachibana is alive according to your will, and don't care about where he is and whether he is still alive, we can go now."

Mrs. Tachibana's eyelids trembled a few times.

"Ma'am, cooperate well." Patriarch Lihua talked to his proud wife.

"Humph!"

Mrs. Tachibana turned her head indifferently.

This woman is really annoying... Ju Qingxue felt her fist harden.

The living room became quiet.

The hour hand points to eleven o'clock, the room is so bright that people can't open their eyes, but the air is as heavy as lead.

Ju Qingxian turned her head around, then took Ju Qingxue's hand: "Let's go."

"Let's go first." Ju Qingxue hesitated for a moment, then got up to leave.

"Hold on."

Mrs. Tachibana turned her head and said.

The breakthrough came...Ju Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around with cat-like dexterity, and pulled Ju Qingxian back to sit on the sofa.

Ju Qing rolled her eyes slyly, her eyebrows were slightly directed at her sister, and she raised her eyebrows a little triumphantly.

Ju Qingxue's big watery eyes became even brighter, and she winked at her brother with a girlish vigor.

'Come on, I know you're amazing...'

'Xiaoxue is also very good. '

'Don't call me Xiaoxue—'

'Okay Xiaoxue, I know Xiaoxue. '

The two siblings were eyeing each other here, Mrs. Lihua gasped a little, and muttered: "The detective always wants to bring things to crime..."

"Madam, please stop avoiding the important things and just ignore them!" Ju Qingxue turned her head to look at the madam, her expression became cold again.

Mrs. Lihua breathed a sigh of relief, picked up a pillow to cushion her back, straightened her back again, and said in a strong tone: "Yes, that's right, Xiaochun did get angry with me because he had a fight with me about the knife." Leaving home. But I believe that is not Xiaochun's own character, but because he was bewitched, he would do such a rebellious thing as contradicting his mother."

It's this set of rhetoric again, are you tired... The corners of Ju Qingxue's mouth twitched.

Resisting the urge to scold Party A, after thinking for a while, she asked in a formulaic tone: "Is there any specific direction for the bewitching you mentioned? A certain person? Or something? For example..."

She paused, looked towards the knife holder, and then asked in a somewhat uncertain tone: "The person who sold him the knife told him the legend about the tengu, right?"

After asking, she secretly glanced at her brother, as if asking for approval.

Tangerine nodded slightly.

'That's right, just investigate in this direction! '

Ju Qingxue immediately beamed with joy, and even felt a little more confident in solving the case.

Mrs. Lihua made a contemplative look, and after a long time, she replied: "I don't know, we don't know who sold him the knife..."

"So..." Ju Qingxue said thoughtfully, "The so-called bewitching is all your imagination?"

"No, the deception is definitely true!" Mrs. Lihua's face turned gloomy instantly, and she muttered to herself: "The day after Xiaochun disappeared, I went to Mount Takao, and the monks on the mountain were spreading the news, saying Xiaochun met Shenyin, and this situation has happened several times in the past... It was the tengu who bewitched him to go to Mount Takao, there is absolutely no mistake..."

Ju Qingxue's brows were raised in confusion.

Last night when I was talking with my younger brother, my younger brother also made jokes such as "Tiangou kidnaps people", and now my wife said that the monks at Yaowang Temple also thought it was "Tengu kidnapping people", and there have been cases in the past... this What is the situation?

Could it be that……

Are creatures like tengu real?
