Chapter 103
Shinobu Kocho said that she watched Qingxi drink the medicine before leaving. That night and the next morning, she really watched her drink the medicine with a green face, and then examined her before leaving.
With two men watching over her at home, and since she had already persisted for a day and a half, she gritted her teeth and endured the remaining bowls for the day and a half.
But on the fourth day, after she was sure that her fever had subsided, she refused to drink it no matter what.
Even if the two grown men in the family gave an excuse like "Let's have another bowl just in case."
No, no, no, no, I absolutely won’t drink.
Qingxi was locked up in the house for a week because of her illness, and even after she recovered, she was kept under close watch.
Well, specifically at night.
They were even worried that she would be "taken away" by Jiro when they were not paying attention. For the next period of time, except for eating her three meals a day in the house, she would be sent to the headquarters or the Butterfly House at night.
All your flying tools have been sent to the frontier. How are you going to get out at night?
What can Qingxi do?
Then just stay at home.
But she was well behaved, and Mou He felt bored again.
So, he stretched out his legs, ready to make a move.
"Master, actually, you still have hope of becoming a 'flying doctor under the night sky'." Tsurumaru Kuninaga was sitting on the floor of the corridor, leaning against the shoji door of Qingxi's room, and seduced secretly.
Qingxi was channeling spiritual power into an amulet in her hand. According to Tsurumaru Kuninaga, her spiritual power was quite good. If she received systematic training, her spiritual power would even have the opportunity to reach a higher level.
However, although she has considerable spiritual power, it has been several months since she learned about amulets in theory and started making them, but she still hasn't made a single one.
Making amulets is simple, but the difficulty lies in how to transfer your own spiritual power into them evenly and smoothly.
She has good spiritual power, but because she has no teacher to teach her in this area, she needs to rely on her own exploration for everything. So until now, although she can control the spiritual power in her body, it is still difficult.
Of course, she has her own relationship with this.
After all, no matter how unreliable the things she experienced in the first two worlds seemed, they could still be explained by science. However, spiritual power could not be explained. It was a god, as Tsurumaru from the mysterious side said. It was a mysterious thing, something that ordinary people could not see or touch... She still said the same thing, which made it difficult for her, a person who pays attention to science, to accept it.
Even if she accepted it like this, she couldn't resonate with it for a while, just like a female character in a novel whose brain suddenly started cheating, and then she became a peerless genius in the next second.
To sum up, she was unable to evenly transfer spiritual energy into the amulet. Even if she could at the beginning, the spiritual energy would not dissipate in the next second.
Puff——
A subtle and muffled sound was heard, and Qingxi casually threw the amulet in his hand onto the small round table in front of him.
Another failure.
She let out a long breath and then looked outside the house, but all she could see was the other person's white head, half of which was exposed and the other half was blocked by the shoji door.
"What do you want to do now?" Qingxi asked directly without playing tricks on him.
"I'm not causing trouble, I'm serious." Tsurumaru Kuninaga said aggrievedly.
Just by listening to his voice, people who don't know him would really believe in his lies.
The weather today is not very good. The sky outside the eaves is gloomy, as if it might rain at any time, but the wind is blowing hard. It's not so bad inside the house, but outside the house, the leaves and grass are rustling in the wind.
Qingxi didn't say anything. When the other person turned his head, she gave him a look that said, "Keep making up stories."
"I'm serious." Tsurumaru Kuninaga assured her again. At the same time, he reached out and grabbed the five cats that were originally playing in the yard and now ran to the corridor. Because the wind was too strong and they were too light, they were blown to and fro on the corridor. He then picked them up one by one in his arms and drove them into Qingxi's house one by one.
He pointed to the broken amulets spread out on the small round table and said, "As long as you, Master, have crafted the amulets and learned the technique to summon the sword man, I think Beiming Island will be able to trust you to stay up late at night and go on a night tour."
Qingxi was stunned for a moment, but she immediately burst into laughter. "I thought you were going to say something, Tsurumaru, but it turns out you were just making empty promises."
Tsurumaru Kuninaga tilted his head and asked, "Master, do you want to go out tonight?"
Qingxi choked, and after a while, he said firmly: "No."
"Oh, forget it if you don't want to go." Tsurumaru Kuninaga did not express disappointment.
Just when Qingxi thought the topic was over, he suddenly changed the subject, "However, Master, it would be better if you could also learn the techniques for summoning amulets and sword men."
"Whether or not it will be used is not a question for now, but it's still necessary to learn it," he said. "After all, it's a way to protect your own safety."
He gave an analogy: "If you were in danger outside and had no one to protect you, the amulet you wear could buy you time, and you, Master, could use this opportunity to summon me and Yakumi over. That way, your danger would be over, and everyone would be happy, wouldn't it?"
As soon as the kittens entered the house, they found a place to curl up. It seemed that they had just used up all their energy in the yard.
Taro, who ran to Qingxi's side with his arms around her, was not a real child, so she listened to Tsurumaru Kuninaga's words of advice every time.
Although she had given up hope of making the amulet, she still nodded and said, "I will learn it well."
In the next six months, apart from continuing to feed the crows, she no longer paid much attention to the affairs of the Demon Slayer Corps, but instead concentrated on making amulets.
The spring flowers fade and the summer flowers bloom, and cicadas emerge as the weather gradually gets warmer.
"Xingming."
Beimingyu Xingming had dinner as usual and was about to go out for patrol, but when he had already walked into the yard, he was stopped by a girl's voice that sounded particularly excited.
He stopped walking out and stood there waiting for someone.
With the sound of messy footsteps as the clogs were not put on properly, the girl stood in front of the blind young man with wrinkled clothes and greasy hair that seemed to be stuck to her scalp after not being washed for several days.
"I made it." Qingxi stood still and spoke to him without hesitation, saying something that made no sense to him.
"I made it," she repeated what she had just said, "I finally made the amulet."
Finally figuring out what was going on, Beimingyu Xingming rubbed the top of the girl's head and congratulated her sincerely, "Congratulations."
"Thank you." She happily accepted the other party's congratulations. She took his hand and placed the amulet she had successfully made for the first time in his palm while he looked surprised.
The man, who was over two meters tall, had hands as big as a palm-leaf fan. Compared to it, the amulet she had just placed in her palm looked petite and delicate.
"This is for you." Qingxi said generously.
"Ah Xi, this is very precious." The little girl has been staying at home for the past six months and has hardly gone out, just trying to make this amulet that is said to save lives. For this reason, when Beimingyu Xingming was at home, he often heard her say that she had given up because she always failed.
In particular, there was a period of time when he clearly felt that she was in a state of negative emotions such as irritability, loss, depression, and self-doubt.
Now, she has successfully made an amulet. He thinks that it will be more meaningful to her than just its practicality.
But, unfortunately, she gave it to herself.
"Next one." Beiming Island Xingmian was about to return the amulet to Qingxi, "Keep this amulet for yourself, Ah Xi. When you succeed in making the second one, give that one to me."
Qingxi, who hadn't considered the significance of her first amulet, took a step back when the other party extended his hand. She said proudly, "It's okay. I'll give this one to Xingming first. You can keep it yourself when I make the second one."
Grief Island Xingming: ...
Tears flow from the blind eyes, the cat is moved.jpg
"I understand." He put the amulet close to his body and said, "I will wear it carefully."
"Be careful on the road."
Human beings are creatures that can survive with just a little hope.
This also applies to those who always fail in everything they do.
Just like Qingxi, Qingxi, Qingxi.
No matter how irritated the process made her, and she even wanted to give up making the amulet at one point, once she made one, all the negative emotions were immediately replaced by the desire to make hundreds or thousands of amulets.
So, after seeing off Beimeijima Gyomei, the light in her room was on all night, and even when Tsurumaru Kuninaga from next door came to help her sleep, she couldn't.
Not only will you not be allowed to do so, you will be kicked out on the grounds that "you are too noisy and disturb me."
Tsurumaru Kuninaga: It's really hard for me.jpg
In the early morning, Beiming Island Xingming returned. Just as he was sitting in the living room and preparing to eat the breakfast made by Tsurumaru Kuninaga, he paused and asked, "Is Axi still sleeping?"
Tsurumaru Kuninaga picked up a piece of grilled fish with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth. "Master, she didn't sleep last night. Just now, when I got up and came out, I heard the rustling sound of fabrics next door. I guess she just fell asleep."
Beiming Island Xingming frowned, but before he could say anything, Tsurumaru Kuninaga continued, "Don't worry, the master is excited about making the amulet, and he should be able to calm down after today."
As he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and chuckled softly. After he finished laughing, he saw that Beimingyu Xingming hadn't picked up his chopsticks yet, waiting for him to continue. He smiled and said, "When the master went to bed, I heard her mumbling and whimpering, and even rolling around on the tatami. I guess she didn't make a single amulet that night."
"Well, I wonder if the master will continue to "fight" with the amulet in his dreams when he is asleep." As he spoke, the heartless crane laughed again.
"Come on, let's eat first. No need to wait for the master."
