The world is restarting

Chapter 173 Ping Jiangmen

The heavy rain didn't stop for a long time, and it started to patter again when the ox cart passed the Luocheng Gate.

Fortunately, although the road is difficult for pedestrians, the ox cart can still move forward smoothly.

Minamoto Yorimitsu drove his car through Suzaku Avenue, turned into Tsuchimikado Alley, and finally stopped in front of Abe's residence.

At this time, the rain had turned heavy, and his vision was blurred. When Ze Tianya opened the curtain of the bullock cart and looked out, he saw a few people running forward in the rain at the end of the road, followed by a bullock cart .

She had a faint feeling that the other party was coming this way.

"It's raining again."

Minamoto Raimiko said lazily outside the car, "Ji Jun, why don't you continue to take me in?"

At this time, the shikigami who stayed at home had already noticed the movement at the door, opened the door, and came out to greet him with an umbrella.Tokuko stood by the side of the car and opened the door curtain, and Sawada Ya was about to get out of the car, when she heard this and turned her head in doubt.

The black-haired boy was sitting on the shaft of the car lazily, with one leg dangling by the side of the car, dangling boredly, the bamboo hat was so low that he couldn't see his face clearly, and a drop of transparent rainwater fell down his fingertips on his knees.

She looked at him, then at the person on the other side of the road who seemed to be looking for him in the rain, and nodded in a daze.

Half a street away, several subordinates who had finally chased after the figure seen at the gate of the city watched the man get off the car and walked into the courtyard, and then there was a "squeak", and before they yelled, The door of Abe's house was slowly closed.

Several people rushed to the door, staring at the vermilion door and looking at each other in blank dismay.

A man touched the rain on his face and asked nervously, "What should I do? Which of you will knock on the door?"

"Are you kidding, this is that person's home, who knows what's inside..." The person next to him took a step back hesitantly, "Anyway, I won't go."

"But Fujiwara-sama is in a hurry to see him..."

"Well, there's nothing you can do about it. Even Fujiwara-sama said it's okay not to bother that person here, right?"

"This……"

Looking at the closed door in front of them, the men were helpless.

Abe's backyard.

Sawada Ya and Tokuko in the car were fine, but Minamoto Raimitsu, who was driving outside, was mostly wet by the rain, and Shikigami took him to change clothes as soon as he entered the door.

Qingming hadn't come back yet, and the sky outside was getting darker and darker. Dark clouds spread over the courtyard wall, almost reaching the bottom of the corridor eaves.The water droplets flowing down the roof tiles formed a rain curtain, separating the corridor from the outside world.

Sawada Ya was sitting on the porch, holding a cup of hot tea, looking out of the rain curtain in ecstasy.

When Minamoto Raimiko came over from a distance, he saw her with long silver hair in a daze looking at the yard. I wondered if the light outside was too dark, but it seemed that the place where she was was extraordinarily bright.

He strode over to her and sat down, and his body fell back lazily.There is probably an enchantment set up along the corridor, and the cold rain outside stops outside, only the cool wind blows in, accompanied by the pattering rain on the grass and trees in the yard, which has a particularly hypnotic effect.

As he listened, he unexpectedly started to feel sleepy, and his eyelids slowly drooped.

"Raiko, is this okay?"

Half asleep and half awake, he heard the confused voice of the little girl beside him, like the rain that was washing the world outside, it was especially soothing to people's minds.

"What's wrong?" he asked lazily.

"Those people came to look for you, right? Don't worry about them?"

"Need not."

Sawada looked down at the people around him.

Minamoto Laikou was lying on his back in the corridor, looking like he was about to fall asleep, he put on a coat casually, his long hair was scattered around his side, and a strand of black color leaked down the edge of the corridor.He put one hand in front of his face, his thin wrist covered his eye sockets, and light blue meridians spread out from the dark cuff, showing a cold and stern paleness from his wrist to his fingertips.

This is the hand he holds the knife.

This person was probably pampered and pampered when he was young, and his fingers and bones were so beautiful that he was very "gongqing". When he just left it quietly like this, he couldn't imagine what it would look like when blood splashed on it.

Sawada put the teacup aside, bent her knees, hugged her calves and looked out of the corridor.

"What was Raiko doing before?"

"before?"

"Before coming to Heianjing."

"Well, let me think about it... It's practice, but it's actually wandering around. Fight and fight, kill monsters when you encounter them, and kill bandits when you encounter them, but the number of times you encounter bandits is always more than monsters..."

His voice was lazy and calm.Like a deep pool under the moon, there is no trace of waves on the surface, and all the towers are buried deep in the bottom of the water, so that no one can see the slightest clue.

"Then why did you come to Heian-kyo?"

"The old man insisted on me coming, and..."

He paused for some reason in the middle of his speech, and Sawada Ya looked back at him suspiciously.

"and?"

"Besides, it's just like that after seeing too much outside. It looks the same everywhere. It's not interesting, so I went back... But I was caught by the old man and forced me to the capital."

"That's it."

Minamoto Raimitsu moved his hand across his face, and cast a gaze from under the wrist bone, "You haven't been out of Heian-kyo, have you?"

Sawada Ya thought about it, and felt that the time she was robbed to Ichimoren Shrine could not be counted, so she shook her head.

"I think so, you can go out to see it when you have time... No, there is nothing to go out actually."

He reached out and grabbed a strand of long silver hair hanging in front of his eyes, twisted it twice between his fingers, and then raised his hand to poke little Lolita's face.The boy lay on the ground and looked at her with a slight smile, "You are fine now."

Sawada Ya looked down into his eyes, and was about to speak, when the corner of her eye suddenly caught sight of two shadows behind the osmanthus tree outside.She looked up, only to see Sister Ling was leading a person through the front yard, walking towards this side.

Qingming's Xuan Shu got out of the grass, stood under the eaves and shook its hair, "Ji Jun, Mr. Lai Guang, Mr. Bu Jiwu is here."

As soon as it finished speaking, the sound of hurried footsteps had already been heard along the corridor, and the person who arrived first was the other party's admonishment with a heavier voice.

"Master Raikou! Your Excellency Fujiwara is looking for you. You know that the person who came just now is a follower of the Fujiwara family, right? You actually shut him out like this..."

Sawada Ya was picking up a towel to wipe Xuanshu's hair, when he heard the sound, he raised his head, and saw Bubu Jiwu striding towards this side angrily.

No, that's not so much anger as it is a headache for my lord.The servants of the Fujiwara family did not dare to knock on the door of Your Excellency Seimei's house, so they had to ask him to find someone... He suspected that Minamoto Raimitsu knew this and hid here on purpose from Abe Seimei.

Bubu Jiwu brought a lawsuit with his head, first met with Ji Jun, then looked down at his lord, and saw him lying next to Ji Jun, looking like he was about to fall asleep, seeing him approaching, he was lazy Yangyang raised one eyelid.

"How did you come so fast?"

Bu Jiwu: "..."

I want to die with this dog than the master every day!

He took a deep breath, showed the patience he had with Sakata Kintoki, and tried to persuade him, "Recently, strange things have happened frequently in Heian capital, Master Fujiwara should be looking for you for something important."

"Oh, when will there be no strange things in Heianjing?"

"..."

He couldn't refute it.

Bu Jiwu continued with a dull face, "Although that is the case, it is understandable that the officials in Beijing have become a little more sensitive because the group of foreign ghosts in Dajiangshan announced that they will hold a ghost banquet soon..."

Minamoto opened his eyes and looked at him.

"Do you believe this statement?"

Bu Jiwu: "...I don't believe it."

Minamoto Raimitsu smiled, stretched his waist, got up from the ground, took the hair tie from the shikigami next to him, and casually picked up the long hair behind his head and twisted it around twice.

"Okay, let the group of people outside wait a little longer, I'll go and change clothes for going out."

Seeing that this man left Abe Seimei's house on the spot, Bubu Tsuitake turned his head and walked towards the backyard.

The boy's expression was so funny that Ling Nu who led him over laughed.

The beautiful shikigami in light-colored Tang clothes bowed her body, covered her lips and showed a quiet smile, then followed Minamoto Raimiko and left.

Bu Jiwu who was left in place: "..."

Well, at least willing to go out.

The Bubu boy who has become an old mother at a young age retreats again and again, and his heart is actually intertwined with complicated relief and inexplicable vicissitudes.

Ze Tianya rubbed Xuanshu's hair, looked up at him curiously, "Jiwu, what happened in Ping'an Jing?"

"Ah? Ah, Ji Jun..."

Bu Jiwu regained consciousness in a trance, and sat down in front of her, "That's right, since two months ago, there have been strange incidents of pregnant women being brutally murdered in the capital."

Ze Tianya stopped touching Xuanshu's hand, "Pregnant?"

"Yes, there have been nine victims so far. The most recent one was a female official in the imperial court. She was pregnant and returned to your natal family. She disappeared two days ago and was dead when she was found. It is said that she died a terrible death. The baby in the womb was taken out, and the baby's body also..."

Bubu Jiwu habitually recounted the case file he was reading, and suddenly paused when his eyes met the clear eyes of the little girl opposite.

Wait, what did he say in front of Ji Jun?

"All in all, it's like this, that, the scene is more bloody, so I won't describe it."

Sawada Ya blinked, "The victims are all pregnant women..."

"Ah, yes, it is currently suspected to be the work of the new group of ghosts from Dajiangshan. Because, uh..."

"because?"

"Because the people who went to collect the corpse found that the baby that was taken out had wounds on its abdomen. It was a boy baby. His liver seemed to be eaten by something..." Bu Jiwu said in a low voice, "the liver has been used as the essence of the human body since ancient times. That's why Yinyangliao suspected that it was the monsters of Dajiangshan."

Sawada Ya lowered her eyes, recalling the charcoal seller's family who just took them in to shelter from the rain today.The hostess of that house is also pregnant, and the child in her belly is six months old...

Bu Jiwu didn't know why she suddenly became dazed, but he didn't dare to disturb her, and waited quietly beside her.

After a while, little Lolita seemed to come to her senses and looked up at him.She thought of a new topic again, "Jiwu, did you live outside Ping'an capital?"

"Yes."

"What's it like outside?"

"..." Bu Bu Jiwu's face showed a complex expression, "Outside...it's really different from Ping'an Jingli."

"?"

"Although the lives of the civilians around Heian-kyo are very difficult, most of them can still survive if they work hard."

Because the most enjoyable group of people in the whole country live here, they spend all their daily food and clothing expenses outside, and just serving these ministers and uncles is enough to support a family.

But the environment outside is quite different.

It has been 20 years since Hirashomon rebelled in Kanto and Fujiwara Junyou in Xikai at the same time, but the world is not better than before.

Excessive state-owned taxes, robbers on the road, "the wine and meat of rich men stink, and frozen bones on the road" is by no means a lie.

"Seeing the corpses of those who died of starvation on the side of the road, I occasionally even have delusions. If someone..."

If someone can really overthrow this rotten city of peace, clear away the grievances in the world, and build a new world... that would be great.
