Yae Sakura!Beep!

"Hitomi..."

Very tired, not only the body, Sakura's heart is also very tired, even several times more than the physical tiredness.

'My sister is willing, just let Hitomi share a little bit. '

Tong Tong's words still resound in her mind from time to time, she still can't forget it after all, and it's impossible to forget it.

Now, I have no one to rely on.

Sakura understood this deeply, she put away that weak posture.

After packing everything, she passed by the main hall and walked outside the shrine. When she stepped out of the main hall, Sakura took another look at Yae Village, which was far down the mountain.

Because of the heavy rain last night, everyone's faces were filled with happy laughter. They inspected the crops that had grown again after being nourished by the rain all night, cheered and thanked.

Sakura thought for a while, she took back her steps towards the outside of the main hall, turned around, went back and picked up the Sakura Fuki that was being enshrined in the main hall, and put it on her waist.

Put together with the shimenawa used to separate the two worlds, this is a magic weapon that separates life and death.

It is also a sharp weapon to separate Sakura and Hitomi.

Chapter 20 Chapter 19

In the main hall of the shrine, Sakura stood in front of the altar, she put Sakura Fuki Snow on her left waist, and carefully checked whether there was a mistake in the position.

Raising her head and standing up straight, Sakura subconsciously put her left hand on the hilt of Sakura Fukixue's sword, grasped it lightly with her four fingers, while her thumb rested on the sword grid, and her right hand naturally held it hilt.

Sakura made a posture of drawing the sword, wanting to try to see if it goes smoothly, if there is something wrong.

However, at that moment, something seemed to be touched, a strange fluctuation appeared in the main hall for a moment, and then disappeared, a strange throbbing occurred in Sakura's heart, weak, like an illusion.

It seemed to wake up something, but that feeling was too weak, Sakura didn't notice anything.

"Shin..."

She slowly pulled Sakura Fukixue out of the hilt, the light reflected from the silver blade made Sakura squint her eyes, halfway out of the sheath, Sakura retracted the sword again.

Feeling nothing unusual, Sakura let go of the hilt of the sword, patted Sakura Fubuki with her left hand, she nodded, turned around and walked outside the shrine.

…………

It was pitch black, nothing could be seen, and the hazy consciousness woke up from a deep sleep.

It was like being locked in a rectangular box, unable to sense anything from the outside world, the feeling of fear emerged from the bottom of my heart, I wanted to hug my legs and curl up in the corner, and was surprised to find that I had lost my body , or in other words, he has no body.

Yes, I am dead.

So stated, a fact, without any feeling of sadness or fear.

So, is this the world after death?

A dead and dark world, touching and walking, and then found that there is a boundary in it.

And pitifully small.

The previous feeling is not wrong, it is probably a rectangular box, the width is no more than two body heights, and the length is no more than a few steps away from one end to the other end. The kind that hit the top.

Is this the so-called coffin?

After exploring the whole world, I stayed in the same place helplessly.

It's really shabby.

And so boring.

Lying on the spot—probably lying on the stomach, after all, there is no physical existence, and then thinking about nothing.

Are you going to stay here forever?

It doesn't matter if you close your eyes, or whether you close your eyes or not, because the world is just as dark, and you can't even see yourself.

fell into a deep sleep again.

And then until a certain moment, maybe just the next moment.

Something made me open my eyes.

The world, at that moment, lit up.

The edge of the world is no longer dark, and information from the outside world flows in.

I see, it was a little girl, only twelve or thirteen years old, with pink messy hair, blue pupils, and a strange witch costume.

"……elder sister?"

At that moment, tears streamed down my face.

…………

Holding a small cloth bag in her hand, Sakura stood at the entrance of Yae Village.

After hesitating on the spot for a while, she still walked in, subconsciously pressing one hand on Sakura Fubuki.

"Lord Miko."

The people in Yae Village were also working as usual. When they passed by, all the villagers who saw Sakura spontaneously bowed their heads and said hello. There seemed to be a bit of awe in their expressions, which was more than the attitude when facing the Lord God. Worse.

But that is also inevitable. After the sacrifice last night, there was a heavy rain in the sky, and the rain continued for a whole night. Now everyone in Yae Village is very satisfied with the ability of the Miko to communicate with the gods. They were convinced of the matter, so their attitude became more respectful.

No one felt the slightest discomfort with the fact that the sacrifice was the Miko-sama's own sister. From their point of view, it was an extremely honorable thing to be chosen as a sacrifice and go to God's side.

All the way in silence, Sakura said her face was expressionless, but it was more like a cold face. She ignored all the villagers who greeted her, and went straight into a simple wooden house.

The room was dark, and the only window and door were only half open, and the faint light came in, and disappeared within half a foot.

An old man was sitting on a bamboo chair with his eyes closed, as if he was resting.

Sensing the movement, the old man opened his eyes, and his cloudy eyes looked in the direction of the door.

"Is it Sakura?"

After a pause, the old man spoke again.

"No, I should call you Miko-sama now."

Speaking slowly, the old man stood up, walked to the counter, opened the only window in the room next to him, and the sun shone into the wooden house, and the decayed feeling became lighter.

"Well, grandpa."

Standing at the door for a while, Sakura pressed Sakura Fukixue's left hand tightly, she pursed her lips, nodded, and walked in.

"The last time I came to my place was half a year ago? Is there anything going on today?"

It seems that the light is still not enough, the old man thought for a moment, and he lit another oil lamp while talking.

The room suddenly brightened up a lot, and the discomfort in Sakura's heart dissipated a lot. She stepped forward and put the cloth bag that she had been holding on the counter on the counter.

The old man in front of her is the old man Sakura mentioned earlier who taught her how to pick herbs. This old man doesn’t have a high sense of existence in the village, and no one even knows his name. Son, and only know some Chinese medicine.

During the sacrificial ceremony last night, Sakura didn't see the old man. Thinking about it, he should have gone to bed early, and that's right, the old man always goes to bed early.

In Yae Village, the sacrifice is sacred, and the sacrifice is the same. After being offered to the god, the person will not be mentioned easily, even the name will not be mentioned.

The old man probably only knew that another fresh young life withered last night, but he didn't know who was chosen as the sacrifice.

"Grandpa, I seem to have found rushes on the mountain before, can you help me look?"

Sakura untied the opening of the cloth bag, and inside was a small piece of leaves, and some boiled and rotten medicinal residues wrapped separately.

Hearing this, the old man seemed a little surprised. He looked at Sakura's face, then lowered his head to look at the leaf, picked up a little medicine residue with his bony fingers, put it under his nose, and sniffed it.

For a long time, the room was silent.

Sakura held her breath, as if she didn't dare to disturb the old man's thinking, it could be seen that she was a little nervous.

Shaking his head, the old man rubbed his fingers to remove all the medicine dregs on them.

He met Sakura's eyes.

"It's not a rush."

After finishing speaking, he paused, looked at Sakura's pale face, and sighed again.

"It's not herbal medicine at all."

PS Well, here I won’t meow meow meow meow meow meow will only humiliate meow slaves, I want to write some character cards in the middle of this chapter, I don’t know if you are interested, but I always feel like the books on the cover of my own The name seems to be a little blurry, and I am hesitant to make a new cover. After all, it is quite troublesome to make a satisfactory cover by myself, and I don’t want to ask others to help.

Chapter 21, Chapter 20 The distance between the heart of falling cherry blossoms and the heart is so far away

In a rectangular 'box' world - let's call it a box.

Hitomi, who has lost her body, just stays in this world.

When she woke up, she found that she was trapped in it, it was pitch black, until at a certain moment, the world lit up.

Then Hitomi saw Sakura, the sister she thought she would never see again.

After a brief surprise, Hitomi calmed down. After careful observation, she found that in this rectangular 'box' world, the pictures on a certain wall could be viewed from a third-person perspective as she wished. Follow Sakura and observe what happens around her.

She was sticking to the 'end of the world' like a transparent wall, as if she was by Sakura's side through a transparent membrane.

It's a pity that this layer of membrane is really strong enough.

Hitomi knocked hard, thinking a little discouraged.

Seeing Sakura stepping out of the shrine, passing through the torii gate, and walking towards Yae Village step by step, and watching Sakura's expression gradually become complicated, Hitomi's mood also tugged.

Sure enough, I still didn't do well enough... Otherwise, I wouldn't make my sister so sad.

Then she thought about it, maybe it wasn't as serious as she thought.

If Sister Rin was the sacrifice, then Sister Sakura would be even more sad, right?Maybe Sister Sakura will hate herself for the rest of her life.

Thinking about it this way, it's probably pretty good now, right?

Hitomi leaned against the wall, feeling complicated.

After all, my status in Sister Sakura's heart is still not as high as that of Sister Rin, right?It's just that we've only known each other for less than two months, and we can't even count as the same kind.

She looked at Sakura's expressionless little face after she entered Yae Village, and she was a little doubtful for a moment, whether her thoughts were right or wrong.

It's better not to think too much, now, being able to continue to be by my sister's side like this is already very satisfying.

Moreover, keeping sister Rin alive is not the biggest goal.

Until this moment, she still believed that what she did was not wrong.

…………

Then Hitomi heard what the old man said.

"It's not herbal medicine at all."

Hitomi froze for a moment, she didn't react for a while.

"Impossible! After Rin took this decocted medicine, she became much better!"

Beside her ear was Sakura's unbelievable voice.

"This is indeed not a herbal medicine. Look at this leaf, it's just an ordinary weed that grows a little weirdly."

The old man picked up the small piece of leaf again, sniffed it, and carefully observed the texture characteristics on it.

"Although I can't identify what kind of plant it is, based on my old experience, this plant has no medicinal value."

Putting down the blade, the old man shook his head.

"Even if there is some medicinal value that hasn't been discovered yet, it won't help Rin's child's illness."

Looking at Sakura's appearance, he wanted to reach out and touch her head, but then stopped again.

The child in front of her is no longer the little girl who can act like a baby at will, she is now the Miko who the whole Yae Village must respect.

The old man sighed and signaled Sakura to put the cloth bag away.

"Master Miko, please go back. In such a remote and impoverished area, there is really no cure for Rin's illness..."

"I also know that you have been picking imperial herbs, but this herb can only relieve pain, and it is impossible to cure Rin's disease..."
