When Kimura Kazuki and Kamo Sei went down the mountain and came to Sakagami Village, they found that the dark Sakagami Village was deserted, but in the fields on the left and right, there were many people cutting wheat with sickles.
This scene gives people a kind of black humor. The two looked at each other, feeling ridiculous.
Although... it is indeed almost the season for wheat to mature, but when is it now
At seven or eight o'clock in the evening, the whole village does not light up the lights, but it is here to cut wheat? this…
The two stood there for two minutes before Kimura Kazuki slowly spoke, "Sir Kamo, do you know what is going on?"
Kamo Sheng shook his head and said with a wry smile, "This is the first time I have seen someone cutting wheat at night... And I observed it and found that although Sakagami Village was dark, these villagers were walking on the ground as if they were on the ground. They obviously all have night vision. Ability."
Mucunheshu nodded. He had just observed it and originally thought these people were under control. But he clearly saw that these villagers were cutting wheat and communicating at the same time. Their eyes were bright and they did not look like they were being controlled. He is clearly thinking clearly and does not look like a puppet.
"Oh, Kimura-kun, Grandpa Kamo!"
The two stood here for a few minutes, just about to find someone to ask what was going on. However, they heard a surprised voice coming from the side, and the two turned around to see it was Sakagami Otome.
Kamo Sheng instantly showed a kind smile, "Little Otome, we just came down from the mountain and wanted to ask for something to eat, but..." He pointed at this scene and said a little absurdly, "What is going on in Sakagami Village?"
Sakagami Otome kept looking at Kimura Kazuki with her bright eyes. After she realized what she was doing, she said awkwardly, "Ah...Grandpa Kamo, what did you just say? There were too many people here, so I didn't hear clearly."
Kamo Sacred Heart sighed at the charm of Kimura Kazuki, and then repeated it.
"Oh... about this, I actually don't know." Otome Sakagami scratched her head and said, "Since I can remember, Sakagami Village has had this custom. When wheat matures, it must be harvested at night. And the entire Sakagami Village has always been It’s a night activity. In fact, I’m also very curious. Before I left the village, I thought wheat was harvested at night.”
"Didn't you ask your parents?" Mucunheshu asked.
Otome Sakagami said shyly, "I remember asking when I was a child, but my parents seemed to have answered me, but I forgot about it. When I grew up, I stopped asking... and everyone is used to it. I guess it is the custom in the village. .”
This custom is horrific enough.
If someone from outside came in and saw people from Sakagami Village cutting wheat here at night, they would probably be scared to death. It has a sense of absurdity like a hell scroll.
Before the two of them could speak, Otome Sakagami smiled and said, "Kimura-kun and Grandpa Kamo, you are all hungry, right? I just came home. My mother cooked a lot of dishes and there is still a lot left. Do you want to bring some food to Chunyang on the mountain?" Do they eat?" Seeing the suspicious looks on the two people's faces, Sakagami Otome quickly said, "One of my uncles saw you going up the mountain, so I think you are here to investigate the problem of Unshima Shrine."
Kimura Kazuki and Kamo Sei didn't speak, they both nodded.
The two followed Otome Sakagami. Kimura Kazuki looked at the people in Sakagami Village around him. He suddenly asked, "Why is there no one in Sakagami Village during the day?"
He thought that when he came here at noon today, except for an old man who greeted Otome Sakagami, the other houses were empty and lifeless. When Kamo Sheng heard this question, he also reacted and felt strange.
"Because they are all sleeping." Sakagami Otome gave Kimura Kazuki a strange look, "If you don't sleep during the day, how can you have the mental and physical strength to cut wheat at night?"
It makes sense, and the two of them were speechless for a moment.
Soon, the two came to Sakagami Otome's house.
"Otome, why are you back so soon?" As soon as he entered the door, before he took a look, Kimura Kazuki heard an old man's voice. The next moment, the three of them saw an old woman on crutches emerging from the darkness. An ordinary person would probably be scared to death.
"Grandma, it's Kimura-kun and Grandpa Kamo that I told you about during the day."
"Oh, it's them. Are they hungry? There's still food in the cupboard. You can serve it to them."
"Okay." Sakagami Otome happily responded and went to the kitchen.
"Get a chair and sit on your own, don't be constrained." Grandma Sakagami looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "No outsiders have come in for a long time in the village. You guys came here probably because of the issue of Undao Shrine."
Mucunheshu and Kamo Sheng randomly found a stool and sat down. Hearing this question, Mucunheshu did not speak. He sensed the house with his spiritual consciousness and planned to see if there was anything strange. He would not have done this in the past because it was not polite enough, but Sakagami Village seemed really weird to him.
You know, everyone yearns for light. Sleeping during the day and working at night is really contrary to common sense. After all, do you have to go out to buy some daily necessities at night? Moreover, the nearest small town in Sakagami Village has to be taken by bus... and there is no reason for buses to run at night.
Seeing that Kimura Kazuki was silent, Mr. Kamo next to him smiled and said, "Yes, we are here to investigate the matter of Unshima Shrine. I am an Onmyoji from the Kyoto Shrine Management Bureau. Unshima Shrine has records in the Management Bureau. Shrine, so Undao Shrine was destroyed, we must investigate clearly."
Upon hearing this, Mucunheshu glanced at each other.
Shrine Administration? Why hasn't he heard of it? It seems that Kamo Sheng also has a way of telling lies.
"Shrine Management Bureau? Are you from the government?" Grandma Sakagami obviously didn't know what this management Bureau was, but the other party said that he came to investigate the shrine. In his opinion, he was from the government. Otherwise, who would be so bored to come to Sakagami? village
"Absolutely." Kamo Sheng nodded and said, "Sister Sakagami, do you know about Unshima Shrine?"
Grandma Sakagami was obviously very happy when she heard the title of Sister Sakagami. She smiled and said, "I know a little about this. I heard that the Unshima Shrine on the mountain suppresses a demon god. But now that the Unshima Shrine has been destroyed, it should be the demon god. Have you broken through the seal?"
Hearing this, Mucunheshu's heart tightened. Kamo Sheng also looked at Grandma Sakagami calmly, and he asked curiously, "Aren't you nervous when the demon breaks through the seal?"
"Why are we nervous? Aren't these all feudal superstitions? I have grown up listening to this story since I was a child, and I have never seen any magic in the Onmyoji of Undao Shrine." As she said this, Grandma Sakagami suddenly thought of something and smiled. He stood up and said, "You won't believe it."
Kamo Sheng and Kimura Kazuki looked at each other, quite speechless.
They were so serious, but Grandma Sakagami was joking.
"Grandma, what are you talking about? Are you so happy?" Sakagami Otome came out with the food at this time. Seeing this situation, she couldn't help but be curious.
"We were talking about Cloud Island Shrine."
