I’m a Witch In Dongying

In fact, Shirasuiqiu has considered putting a big screen outside the shrine, like the one inside the Shimadzu Stadium, to broadcast the festival scene in real time.

But this approach is too unconventional.

Even if the shrines and temples of Dongying are closer to the trend than Huaxia, few people will install those too high-tech items on the festival. They always feel that they do not match the atmosphere of the shrine, and they are also suspected of disrespect to the gods and the Buddha. So Bai Shuiqiu just tried to raise his mouth when he was packing up the dishes after the meal, but Chiyo rejected it, so she had no choice but to dispel the idea.

Anyway, with the few observatories, at least a few hundred people are enough to settle, and the rest are slightly scattered and stand around a bit, and you can probably see the scene in front of the Kagura Hall and the Dance Hall. It is really covered by a star, and the impact will not be great.

As the biggest sponsor of Tenme Shrine, the Jindai family is naturally on the invitation list, and it is still quite the top one.

Just this morning, Keisuke Jindai took Keiko and drove over from Chiba City.

Out of concern for Keiko’s safety, Shiraito greeted his grandmother, Hyuga Asuka and Kanako, and temporarily put aside the affairs of the shrine, borrowed a car from the Akizuki team and went to Chiba City. We greeted him in the direction of Sakura City and met with the Shindai family at the junction of Sakura City and Four Streets City, and then got off the car and exchanged a few words.

Probably out of respect for the Rain God Sacrifice, the dress of the father and daughter were very formal.

Keisuke Jindai wore a dark brown kimono, which was exquisitely made, and belonged to the very expensive style at first glance.

Keiko Kashiro also wore an off-white kimono, which also looked very expensive. The chest and skirt were embroidered with pale gold embroidered patterns, which added a bit of grace and majesty to the girl.

In contrast, Bai Shuiqiu's short-sleeved jeans dress is a bit different from their style of painting.

in addition……

In addition to the father and daughter of Keisuke Jindai, there was also an elderly man who was over seventy years old who came with him this time.

——Shendai Wenshan.

Bai Shuiqiu is no stranger to this old man's name.

She had heard some rumors from the old monsters and Keiko Kandai before. It can be said that the Kamidai family can grow step by step from the desolate Chinese in the past to the large consortium that eats all black and white as it is today. More than half of the credit goes to Wenshan Goddai. In a sense, this old man can be regarded as a legend in Chiba County.

And this time, it was the first time that Bai Shuiqiu and this old man met...

Well, not strictly speaking.

In the past few years, when Jindai Fumyama was in good physical condition, he would return to Narita City almost once or twice a year, and every time he came back, he basically had to visit his old friend at Tenme Shrine, so I must have met Shirasuiqiu. Yes, it's just that too long has passed. Although Bai Shuiqiu remembers such a thing, he can't remember exactly what the old man looked like. If she hadn't appeared with the father and daughter of Keisuke Jindai, she would not even dare to identify the identity of the old man.

However, Shendai Wenshan obviously knew her.

"It's Xiaoqiu. I haven't seen each other in a few years. It was so big in the blink of an eye."

When he saw Bai Shuiqiu, the old man laughed heartily, raised his hand and gestured above Bai Shuiqiu's head, and said half-jokingly:

"I remember when I saw you in Tianmu Mountain a few years ago, you were so tall, and I even hugged you at that time.

In recent years, I also wanted to visit your shrine, but unfortunately, because I have been in poor health and have undergone several operations, the schedule has been delayed and delayed, and I have not been able to achieve my wish. I can't miss the Rain God Festival this time, otherwise it would be a shame. "

"A few years ago……"

Bai Shuiqiu blinked. He didn't remember the scene the old man said, but there was a polite smile on his face: "Grandpa Wenshan said and laughed. I think you are still in a tough body. You will surely live a long life."

"Haha, isn't it? That's your fortune."

After a few simple greetings, Bai Shuiqiu made an inviting gesture and said politely to the two elders: "Grandpa Wenshan and Uncle Keisuke, my grandmother is already waiting in the shrine, and I invite the two to get in the car and I will go to Narita City together, and it will not be too late to say anything else in the car later."

"Okay, then trouble Xiaoqiu to lead the way."

Goddai Wenshan waved his hand.

After the old man got in the carriage first, Keisuke Kashiro and Keiko got into the carriage together, and Bai Shuiqiu also entered the carriage from the other side of the door.

As an old man in his seventies, Shendai Wenshan was well maintained, and his silver wire was neatly combed, and he looked energetic.

But once you observe carefully in a dark place, you will find that the old man's complexion is actually not very good, and the temples are sweating a little from time to time, which is a bit like recovering from a serious illness.

Bai Shuiqiu looked at it silently, and quietly retracted his gaze, and continued to chat with the father and son Jindai Wenshan and Jindai Keisuke for a while. On the other hand, Keiko Kashiro was present with an elder, and did not say much, just sitting silently next to Bai Shuiqiu, putting her hands on her knees, making her look like a knowledgeable lady, only occasionally when she was mentioned by her name. Next time, I will smile and echo that sentence or two.

While talking, several cars passed through the boundaries of Sakura City and drove into Narita City.

Seeing the mountains in the direction of Lantern Mountain disappear in the distance, Bai Shuiqiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Sakura City, where the most unexpected situation is most likely to occur, has passed, and there is no big problem next.

After another half an hour, a group of people appeared at the foot of Tianmu Mountain.

Bai Shuiqiu walked in the front to lead the way, Keiko Kandai helped her grandfather, and Keisuke Kandaro, Ryoko and others who followed, walked up the mountain lavishly. As for the remaining Shendai family bodyguards, they scattered around and guarded Tianmu Mountain.

For Tenmoku Shrine, Shindai Fumyama is definitely a well-deserved "visitor".

Not only is it because the latter pays annual sacrifices, but also includes the relationship between the two families and the seniority of the old man.

Therefore, after Chiyo received the news from Shirasuiaki, ten minutes beforehand, he dressed in the costume of the **** and stood at the gate of the shrine. As a junior, Shirasui Kazuto and Kayo also followed respectfully by the side, and waited until the Shindai Fumyama family appeared. , The two sides greeted a few words, and then began to walk into the inner room.

It wasn't until this time that Keiko Kaminari was relieved and got together with Bai Shuiqiu:

"Huh, it's really troublesome to wear this kind of ceremonial costume. It will be hot when you move a little... Qiujiang, I haven't seen you in some days. There is nothing happening at the shrine, right?"

"of course not."

Bai Shuiqiu also smiled and responded.

It took less than a week for Keiko Kashiro to return home to make sacrifices. There were not many things that happened during this period. The most important thing was the "Inside World" incident at Aooka Station. Keiko Kandaro had already passed it before. The LINE news probably knew about this, but right now we are in the public, so it is not easy to discuss too much.

After Keiko Kaminari asked such a question, he carefully looked at Bai Shuiqiu's face and body, and after confirming that there were no signs of injury, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"When I heard you talk about the'Inside World' before, it really shocked me. I didn't expect that there would be such a dangerous place. Fortunately, you still came out from there safe and sound in the end, otherwise, I I want to go directly to Kyoto and ask my friends before me to help me."

"Well, actually I didn't expect..."

This is not an excuse.

Bai Shuiqiu had indeed seen the half-claws of the "inside world" from his blocked memory, but because it was originally some broken memory fragments, plus the most critical part of the memory, he could not even think about it. She got up, so she thought that "the inner world" was at best that the density of monsters was more dense, and it looked strange, and she didn't feel particularly nervous.

But after this trip really entered, she realized that her original understanding was too simple.

"Telephone booth", "Red Mist", "Evil Brain" these monsters, any one of them put in the world, it is enough to cause headaches for the countermeasure team for a while.

But in the "inside world", monsters with such a mystery of the mechanism of their abilities are everywhere.

From entering the inner world with Hemu Dadou and others to finding Bai Shui and Renhe Jiashi and others, it actually didn’t take long. In the process, she didn’t make too many delays in insignificant places, but it was still dangerous. Huansheng, almost all of his staff were destroyed, if he traveled deeper into that uninhabited city, even if he didn't have to take on the task of protecting people and others, Bai Shuiqiu would not have the slightest certainty.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now."

Bai Shuiqiu smiled and turned off the topic about the inner world: "In the past few days when you went home, a lot of changes have taken place in the shrine. I'll take you to see it."

Mime private 627

In the past few days, the changes in the shrine are indeed not small.

First, because Bai Shuiqiu now has spare money on hand, he can repair some of the old houses in his shrine; second, as the rain **** festival is approaching, the grandparents and grandchildren have added a lot of decorations in the shrine, so from On the outside, it is almost completely new compared to before Obon.

Keiko Kandaji followed Bai Shuiqiu with interest, and went around in a circle.

During this process, Yuxia also followed behind like a worm, grabbing Bai Shuiqiu's sleeves from behind, making Keiko Kandaji look in her eyes, and raised her eyebrows in surprise:

"Hey, Qiujiang, when did your relationship with your sister become so good? When you first came here with Uncle Ren the other day, it wasn't like this."

Keiko had met with her family before.

At that time, Jie Xia seemed to be a child who was afraid of birth. She kept following behind the couple obediently. He basically didn’t speak much. When facing Bai Shuiqiu, he also acted strangely, as he does now. Said to be different.

"It's also because of the'Inside World'..."

Bai Shuiqiu softly explained a few more words.

In a sense, she and Jiexia are also sad together, because of the survivors they encountered together in the "inside world", and the little girl herself has similar spiritual media qualities to her. , So the relationship between the two will become intimate in just a few days.

"I see."

Keiko Kandaji nodded, then stopped, squatted down in front of Yuxia, smiled and waved at the little girl, and observed carefully:

"By the way, I didn't pay much attention when we met last time. Now, take a closer look. Sister Jiexia's eyebrows are very similar to Qiujiang."

"Yes?"

"Yes, Qiujiang, your inner corners of your eyes are a little undercut. They have beautiful peachy eyes, and Yuxia's eyes are the same, and the shape of the eyebrows is also... If it does, it might look a little more obvious."

Keiko Kamishiro said, making gestures with her hands a few times.

Bai Shuiqiu really didn't pay much attention to this aspect. At this time, following the girl's explanation, he took a closer look at Yuxia's face, and he probably understood what the facial features of Keiko Kamashiro were talking about. but……

"A picture of me when I was a kid?"

In my impression, Bai Shuiqiu's character was relatively withdrawn when he was a child, and he did not have the habit of taking pictures. Except for the few graduation photos taken by the class in elementary school and junior high school, there are only a few pictures taken when going out with cheap parents or grandparents. Listen to the meaning of Keiko's words...

It seems like where you saw her picture?

"this……"

Keiko Kandaji hesitated for a moment, and quietly glanced at Bai Shuiqiu: "When Grandpa visited here before, he took a few photos of you, washed them out, and put them in the photo album at home together with other photos, so I was in Grandpa's room and saw it several times.

But compared with the way in the photo, it’s still Qiujiang that you look better now, and more lively, and...

You in the photo are too distant. "

Speaking of this, Keiko Kamidai seemed to realize that her description was a bit wrong, and quickly added: "I'm not saying bad things about you, Qiujiang. It's just that you at that time had a really cold temperament, but it was not the real one. Indifference, but a cold-hearted face, even when you are showing goodwill to others, you will not take the initiative to speak out what you have done...but you are still that way now."

"Forehead……"

Bai Shuiqiu didn't notice the language disorder in Keiko Kashiro's words, and she didn't feel that she had any particularly good qualities, but she was acting in accordance with her original heart.

Now that Keiko Kandaro said this, she became a little embarrassed: "Where, I just feel that friends need to help each other, and it has little to do with goodwill."

"Yes?"

Keiko Kashiro's eyes flickered a few times, and she shook her head slightly, noncommittal.

The two of them talked here for a while. Yuxia next to him seemed to understand, but probably from the words of Keiko Kandai, the girl was praising Bai Shuqiu, followed by a little pink face. Raised a bright smile:

"Does Sister Keiko like Sister Qiu very much? I also think Sister Qiu is very beautiful. Her eyes are like the clear sky. They are the best among people I have ever seen."

"……Ok?"

Bai Shuiqiu and Keiko Kandaji looked at each other, the latter smiled, and followed Yuxia's words to answer: "Yes, of course I like your sister very much. A good girl like Xiaoqiu, no one I don't like it.

By the way, I haven't asked Jiexia how old are you this year. Have you started kindergarten? "

"I've already gone, but it's summer vacation now, not yet. Mom said that I will wait until next month..."

Jie Xia responded with breaking her fingers.

Jie Xia's current age is five and a half years old. According to Dongying's normal school age, he usually starts kindergarten at the age of three or four, and attends elementary school at six or seven. However, during this period, there was basically no homework, just playing every day. Bai Shuiqiu, who was in high school, couldn't help being a little envious.

Next, Keiko Kashiro asked a few more softly.

Her affinity is much stronger than that of her peers, and this ability is also effective for children. And Jie Xia is not the kind of very guarded child, so with just a few words, the two sides became acquainted. .

The topic also gradually shifted from Jiexia to Bai Shui and his wife, who are now staying in the house.

Bai Shuiqiu is not very clear about the situation of his cheap parents and younger sister. He only probably knows the occupations he and his wife are engaged in. They are TV station supervision and bank clerk respectively. But which programs have been produced, where I live now... these circumstances are basically unknown.

At this time, taking advantage of Keiko Kaminari's inquiry, he also listened to it, and mentally calculated which position in Tokyo the working place and address of the couple are.

"Sumida area... it seems to be a bit far from Nerima area?"

However, the subway lines in Tokyo are quite developed, and as long as the place of residence is not too partial, transportation is still very convenient. Later, I have to discuss with Asakura Asami, and take some time to visit the Asakura Shrine over there, so that I can ask for help taking care of Yuuka. Given the friendship between Shirami Sana and Asakura's back then, the other party shouldn't refuse.

Of course, since it's going to visit, you definitely can't go empty-handed.

When the time comes, bring some talismans drawn by yourself, or the past of lightning strikes, etc., and you can make up for the favors you owe in advance, so that the Asakura family can be more dedicated when helping. Moreover, even though the Asakura family in Tokyo is just separated and does not have the deep accumulation of Asakura in Kyoto, there is always no harm in dealing with them.

After all, if you encounter difficult troubles in the future, for example, if you want to solve the Lantern Mountain incident, it is inevitable to ask Asakura Asami and others to come and help.

Well, by the way, take a look at the apartment building where I lived in my childhood.

If the [non-existent floor] is still there, you can try to confirm the danger, and if the situation is not right, get out immediately...

During the conversation, time passed quickly.

Until noon.

At Chiyo's kind invitation, Fumyama Jindai decided to stay and have lunch together.

The food was prepared by Jia Shi and Ryoko for nearly an hour. The dishes were quite rich. There were almost a long table full of dozens of dishes. And because of this meeting, the elders of the two highest generations of Shirashui and Shendai were all present, and almost all the children were present, so the specifications were particularly grand, and the order of seating alone gave each other humility for a long time.

In the end, Chiyo, who was the host, sat in the main seat, followed by Shindai Fumyama, followed by Shindai Keisuke, Shirasui, and Ren, who were seated in the order of eldest and inferior.

But Bai Shuiqiu is an exception.

According to her seniority, she should have been sitting with Keiko Kandaji and Yuuka, but when she was about to walk over, she was called back by two old people and sat next to Chiyo.

In addition, Ryoko originally planned to eat outside by herself, but was stopped by Fumyama Jindai and sat next to Hyuga Asuka and Kanako.

"Oh, Ryoko Kudo is the daughter of a nephew of mine. Her father, Kiyichi, had a close relationship with me back then. He wanted to be Keisuke's right-hand man. Unfortunately, it was not a holiday. After his illness and death, I Just think of Ryoko as his other granddaughter, and let her stay at this table to have a meal together. The thousand generations of gods should not be surprised."

"Big Brother Wenshan is too polite. Ryoko is a frequent visitor to my Tenmoku Shrine. During this period of time, I often come with Keiko. I have long been regarded as my junior, so why don't I see others like this."
