Chapter 34 fourth quarter

Seimei and Boya were led by Zhongsuke to Sarushige's hut.It was almost completely dark all around, and the grass on the river beach swayed in the wind. It was not evening, but the sky was thick with dark clouds. "It looks like there's going to be a storm." As soon as Boya finished speaking, a large pebble-like raindrop hit Seimei's cheek. After Chusuke introduced Seimei and Boya to Sarushige, he hurried home. Surprised by Ape Shige. Just the fact that Qingming was willing to visit the hut in person made Yuanzhong feel terrified, but he didn't expect that even the high priest, Yuan Boya, would follow.

Besides, the two of them didn't take a bullock cart, they both came on foot. Chusuke once told Arushige about the "Master Kurokawa" incident, so of course Arushige knew Seimei and Boya.However, once the two actually appeared in front of his eyes, he couldn't even speak. As soon as Qingming entered the hut, he sat down in front of the hearth, and took out two dolls made of wood from his arms. Holding the doll in his left hand, he picked up the leftover charcoal from the hearth and wrote Sarushige's name on one of the dolls.Another puppet wrote down his wife's name.

"Give me some hair, please." Seimei took the hair from Sarushige and his wife, and tied it to the puppet.Ape Shige's hair is tied to the puppet with Ape Chong's name written on it; his wife's hair is tied to the doll with his wife's name written on it. "Can you tear me another piece of fabric from your clothes?" Sarushige and his wife each tore off a small piece of cloth, and Seimei wrapped it around the doll as if helping the doll to dress.The floral skirt and trousers cloth that Arushige tore off is wrapped around Arushige's puppet; the wife's narrow sleeve fabric is wrapped around his wife's doll.

"Everything is ready," Seimei said. "Is this safe and sound?" Yuan Zhong asked anxiously. "Should be. I have other plans." When Qingming said these words, there was a low, ground-like sound coming from a distance, gradually approaching. The sound grew louder, and then the rainstorm suddenly beat violently on the roof.The grass around the hut also began to rustle and roll. "It's a storm. Seimei, the storm is finally here," Boya said. "Fire..." After Qingming finished speaking, Yuanzhong immediately added firewood to the hearth that had already been moved into the house.The firewood was smoking green smoke at first, and soon it was crackling and burning wildly.

"Will they come at this kind of night?" Yuan Zhong asked tremblingly. "Of course I will." Qingming replied confidently, "Bo Ya, take out the wine we brought. Let's drink while we wait for those two to come."
