monk on the mountain tiger on the mountain

"Don't pay too much attention to my aunt, she is just like this, and she doesn't like others to call her old. There is no malice." Toshiro forced a smile on his face and comforted Sheji.

"It doesn't matter." Sheji smiled, and after lowering his head, his expression became disappointed again.

He knew that Torajuro was just saying this to comfort himself, and he understood Juro's aunt's dislike for him. It was not simply that he didn't like others calling her old, but was a denial of him as a whole.

Sheji was used to being carefree on the mountain, so he didn't know what kind of emotion was contained in other people's eyes.But Sheji is sensitive by nature, and because he has not lived in a normal human society, he has some low self-esteem. He is afraid that others will think that his words and deeds are different from ordinary people, so he will always read malice from an unkind look in other people's eyes. Come.

Thinking of not being able to get Juro's family to recognize him, Sheji's mood fell to the bottom.

For several days in a row, Gillian either lamented at the dining table that there is an extra outsider who can't eat well, or all kinds of "kindness" reminded Yin's father and Yin's mother not to keep being nice to others, but in the end it was cheaper by a white-eyed wolf , In turn, kindness will be revenged.

Sheji couldn't tell that Gillian was targeting him, but he didn't understand why she would exclude him like this, she was obviously already extra cautious.Say hello when we meet, move chopsticks last when eating, and help clean up after eating. Although he was stopped by his aunt and Juro, he asked himself that he didn't offend Miss Gillian in terms of etiquette, but he still only got Miss Gillian's cynicism .

On this day, Sheji was practicing martial arts with Tonjuro in the dojo. Facing Tonjuro's attack, he could have dodged it, but he just stood there stupidly and endured it.

"Sheji, are you worried?"

Sheji looked up at Tonjuro, then lowered his head again.

"Did Auntie embarrass you again?"

Sheji shook his head violently, smiled, and said, "No, I'm a little tired, can I take a rest?"

As he spoke, he lowered his head again, his smile gradually turning into a wry smile.

"Hey, well, you go back to the house first, I'll be here later."

Tonjuro patted Sheji on the shoulder, signaling him to relax and not think too much.

Seeing Sheji walking towards the room, Tojuro showed a solemn expression and walked towards the gazebo in the backyard.

The gazebo in the backyard is the place Gillian often goes to in Yinfu.

"Auntie, can you stop embarrassing her all the time?" Tonjuro frowned, although he was a little angry, he tried his best to suppress it so that he could talk to Gillian calmly.

A-Jiao squinted at him, looked at the stream under the pavilion, "Oh, why have I never seen you take such care of anyone!"

Hearing Gillian's yin and yang tone, Yin Julang got angry and said displeasedly: "I'm discussing with you, can you stop being so yin and yang! You are my aunt, and you still target him all day long, don't look at his surface He behaved very well, but in fact he was very sad!"

"Tin Juro! It's not good who you like, you just like a monk! Did you send yourself to the tiger's mouth like this?" Gillian didn't go around with Ton Juro, and directly expressed her dissatisfaction.

"Auntie, I'm the real 'hukou'..." In the tense atmosphere, Tojuro swallowed his rebuttal, and complained weakly about Gillian.

"Auntie, he doesn't know magic spells, and he doesn't know how to eliminate demons. Don't worry. Besides, he doesn't judge a person's good or evil based on his identity. I've been with him for a while, and I Believe me, even if he knows we are monsters, he won't..."

"It won't do anything? You won't find an expert to take us in? You won't dislike you as a demon, you won't smile and stab a knife in the back? Will continue to play friends and play with you, will it be better?"

Gillian has suffered a lot, and it's all due to trusting the other party too much.

This is not a question of high or low status of a person, but a question of the insurmountable boundary between human and non-human.

Tonjuro had no words to refute, turned around abruptly, and walked out of the pavilion.

Gillian probably guessed what this fool was going to do, so she quickly stopped him and shouted: "What are you going to do? You are crazy! You will kill us!"

"I said, Sheji is not that kind of person! Even if I tell him that we are monsters, I believe he will not harm us!" Tonjuro's eyes were firm, and there was no room for retreat.

"Don't tell him!" Gillian didn't show any weakness, jokingly, if the monk knew about it, the whole family wouldn't even think about it.

"I won't target him in the future, but hurry up and don't bring him here again!"

Gillian backed down and left angrily after speaking.

"Juro, are you okay? Where did you go?"

Seeing Tojuro's preoccupied look, Sheji stepped forward and asked.

Tonjuro pulled Shezi into his arms and hugged her.

Sheji was only as tall as Tojuro's shoulders, and after being pulled into his arms, he put his head close to Tojuro's chest, breathing in the smell of Tojuro's body at close range, and a blush gradually climbed from the base of Sheji's neck to his ears Fortunately, Juro couldn't see his face.He breathed heavily, and the smell on Juro's body was inexplicably nostalgic.

"Sheji, I have something very important to tell you."

Tonjuro let go of Saji, hesitated to speak, and looked very nervous.

Sheji listened carefully without being impatient, and quietly waited for Juro to say what he wanted to say.

"Sheji, I...let's go back to the monastery."

Tonjuro still didn't say what he wanted to say. He was full of confidence in front of Gillian, and he patted his chest to ensure that Sheji would never be strangers to them because their family was a tiger demon, let alone find someone to come Subduing demons and demons.But when he was in front of Sheji, he became unsure again.Even though Sheji didn't care after hearing this, Baobuqi left him as soon as he turned around, even causing trouble to his family.

Seeing Tojuro's dodging eyes, Sheji knew that he was not telling the truth, so he didn't ask any more questions, so he smiled and agreed, "Okay! That's great. I want to go back and see Master too."

Looking at Sheji's smiling face, Tonjuro felt that Sheji was the Buddha in his life, and he was kind to himself without reservation. From Sheji, he could see the Buddha's light emanating from him, illuminating his whole heart.

"Why did you come back so soon? How are you doing at the little... young master's house?"

Deqing almost couldn't hold back, and called out the word "little fairy" in front of Sheji.

"Because I miss Master!" Sheji clings to Deqing exaggeratedly and coquettishly said: "Uncle and aunt take good care of me."

"Let's go, let's go!" Deqing pulled out the arm held by Sheji in disgust, while secretly observing Sheji's expression.The child was not as happy as he appeared, he had something on his mind.

Deqing didn't want his apprentice to get too close to that little tiger demon, it's better not to be seen by his family, and he can have less contact with him in the future.So Deqing didn't ask any more questions, and greeted Sheji to enter the hall.

"Hello, Master!"

Seeing that Deqing didn't look at him the whole time, Tonjuro was very upset, so he took the initiative to say hello.

"Oh, isn't this Mr. Yin? Why didn't you fulfill your filial piety at home, and came to worship Buddha with Sheji again!"

Seeing that his apprentice was not treated well in this little tiger monster's house, Deqing felt very uncomfortable when he was wronged, so he pointed the finger at Yin Shilang, the representative of the Yin family.

"Yes! It's a pity that I sincerely worship the Buddha, but the Buddha ignored me." Tonjuro shrugged.

"That must be because Mr. Yin's way of worshiping Buddha is wrong!"

"Oh? Then I will trouble Master to give you some pointers!" Tonjuro cupped his hands and bowed.

Deqing gave him a white look, turned and entered the hall.

The following days were spent in the struggle between Deqing and Tonjuro.Sheji was helpless, but he couldn't say anything.

The author has something to say:

What will you do if you are not recognized by your future partner's family?
