After Theresa finished eating the large rice ball, she happily sipped the soup, then slowly picked up the towel next to her and wiped her mouth. Liuyun already wanted to hit someone.
"Are you ready to eat?"
"What, hum, call me sister."
"Hey, hey, hey, it's okay for Jizi to call her sister. The most you can do is call her sister... or stop talking."
"Hmph, carry it on your back."
After being teased by Liu Yun, Theresa expressed that she was angry and wanted to carry it on her back, otherwise she wouldn't play with you anymore. Throwing your head to the side, you figure it out.
To be honest, Theresa is just like Hestia, a child at heart, but Liuyun doesn't hate her at all. He shook his head, smiled and knelt down to carry Theresa on his back.
Yae Shrine is very large and luxurious. It is much more luxurious than Yae Village at the foot of the mountain. Several cherry blossom trees are now in bloom, and the cherry blossoms are falling like snow, covering the surrounding paths.
Although everyone he met on the road had smiles on their faces, Liu Yun always felt the malice around him. He ignored it and slowly carried Theresa down the mountain, as if he was really just going to look around.
Walking on the mountain road on the other side of Yae Shrine, you can clearly see Yae Village surrounded by mountains below the mountain, as well as the almost dry river that runs straight through Yae Village.
So, every time at this time, a girl will be chosen to sacrifice to the so-called evil god, so that the evil god can protect her and bring heavy rain?
"Liu Yun, let's go to the front and have a look, okay?" Theresa pulled Liu Yun's clothes and pointed forward and shouted.
"Don't pull, I understand." After passing through the bamboo forests, Liu Yun and Theresa came to the other side of the Yae Shrine.
Although Yae Village is located in a remote location, the scenery is definitely worthy of praise. In the bamboo mountain behind, there are probably tens of millions of bamboos all over the mountains and plains.
However, the view of the bamboo forest is interrupted here. Instead, there was an extremely huge cherry blossom tree and a lonely tombstone under the tree. Other tombstones are clustered together in twos and threes, but this tombstone stands alone under the cherry blossom tree.
"Please, save my sister."
The ethereal voice comes directly to the mind. Take a closer look and see the light gathering under the cherry blossom trees. Then a girl with long pink hair emerged from the tombstone, who was very similar to Yae Sakura. His blue eyes subconsciously looked at the two people in front of him, with a trace of begging on his pink face.
The most important thing is that there is no hostility in this girl, which is incompatible with this murderous stigma space.
"Ghost!" Looking at the figure with long pink hair in front of her, Theresa was so frightened that she subconsciously shrank behind Liu Yun.
"It's okay, she's not a bad person." It's not that Theresa is timid, but that Theresa is afraid of ghosts. But the girl opposite was Yae Rin.
"Your sister?" Theresa, who was lying behind Liuyun, carefully poked her head out.
"Well, my sister Yae Sakura."
"Please help my sister free herself from this cursed memory." After saying this, the girl with long pink hair bowed deeply towards Liuyun. "Only you, only you who do not belong to this world, can save my sister."
"Isn't Yae Sakura the big sister just now?"
"Well, it's a coincidence that I happen to have to solve this matter." Looking at Yae Rin in front of him, Liu Yun replied seriously.
"Thank you..." Before she could finish her words, the girl had turned into pink light and dissipated little by little, like a withered cherry blossom.
Stop under the cherry blossom tree and make a promise with the girl. Is this also a promise under the cherry blossom tree? You have a good sister, Sakura.
"Liuyun, what should we do?" Theresa asked gently. The voice was very calm, still in the shock given by Yae Rin just now.
"Just do what you did before. Anyway, cracking the mystery of your stigmata must be related to lifting Yae Sakura's curse."
"Yes." Liu Yun continued to look at the cherry blossom tree and the tombstones below, and then carried Theresa back towards the shrine.
In front of the shrine, a large group of people crowded together. In his hand, he held up pieces of blood written in blood.
When you get closer, you can hear the sounds of people trying to drive away outsiders.
"Before that little girl and him came along, there had never been a monster in this village."
"They must have caused the disaster. Get them out quickly."
"My...my husband was killed by monsters, and I will make them pay the price!"
This group of people surrounded the shrine and kept shouting these words, seeming to blame all the faults on Liuyun and Theresa.
"Liuyun, have we offended them?" Theresa expressed confusion about this.
"Shh." Liuyun made a gesture to Theresa without answering Theresa. He focused his attention on Yae Sakura who was surrounded by this group of people. Surrounded by the crowd, Yae Sakura was surrounded by several people who seemed to have high status.
Sakura, how would you make a decision?
………………
"There is no evidence in front of us to prove that they are related to the monster that appeared. Everyone, please give me some time and I will find out the truth." Yae Sakura lowered her head slightly and said to the group of people in front of her.
"What are you still investigating? Isn't a miko's duty to protect everyone?"
"We worshiped you witches, you helped us, but now you want to back down." The villagers in front of them said dissatisfied.
"Not to mention the monster thing, there has been no rainfall in the village for almost three months. And the day of the sacrifice is just around the corner. You know what I mean." The middle-aged man in black kimono waved his hand and looked at the scene in front of him. Yae Sakura asked word for word.
"Father... no... Lord God, you mean... you want her to be a sacrifice? That's not possible." Yae Sakura looked at the man in front of her and shook her head in denial. She couldn't involve innocent people.
"The river is about to dry up. We must make sacrifices quickly and beg for God's blessings. The little white-haired girl who appears at this time is God's will! If she is not used as a sacrifice, we must choose a virgin in the village to sacrifice To God. Do you want your sister Yae Rin’s efforts to be in vain?” At this point, Yae Sakura’s father, the God Lord, almost shouted.
"Rin..." Upon hearing the name Rin, Yae Sakura's eyes shrank, and a feeling of powerlessness gradually filled her heart. He slowly fell to the ground, murmuring Rin's name.
Recalling the memories with Rin, the promise to go to enjoy cherry blossoms together, and Rin's last words, "Onee-sister must become an outstanding shrine maiden." Yae Sakura's eyes lost their sparkle, and the sudden mental pressure was like a mountain. Crush her.
"Aren't you ashamed that so many of you are bullying a weak woman?"
Hearing this crisp scolding, Yae Sakura's absent-minded eyes once again became bright.
