Chapter 18
Natsume's room.
The door of the room was closed tightly, and there was a muffled sound of things falling to the ground from time to time.
Tanuma's intuition was inside, and sure enough, Natsume's cry came out not long after.
"roll!"
Then the field must be inside.
Just as Tanuma was about to turn around and leave, the door of the room was pulled open.
"what are you doing?!"
Tanuma looked up, yes.
The Patriarch of the Chang family's left face was a little red, holding the door frame with his hand, looking angry at him, looking at him warily.
"I...I..." Tanuma was frightened by the momentum of the scene, he hesitated and didn't know what reason to make up.
Seeing this face, Yu Chang felt familiar, and immediately realized, isn't this the kid who came with Madara to take Natsume away before he and Natsume got married?why here?
He recalled hearing someone outside the door discussing an escape plan with Natsume.Presumably, this is to deliver medicine to Natsume.
I'm going to see what tricks they're up to.
Natsume's expression after the trick was exposed must be very funny.
"Madam is hungry, go and bring him breakfast."
"Yes." Tanuma answered with a bow.
Dechang closed the door, rubbed his left cheek and walked away.
Tanuma went to bring breakfast in panic, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Natsume sitting on the bed with his legs bent, burying his face in his lap.
"Natsume." Tanuma called him softly.
Natsume looked up, "Tanuma..."
Tanuma went over and put the rice aside, then took out the medicine, "This medicine...you keep it. Find a chance to let the field eat it. I have memorized the route down the mountain. I will tell you when I do it one night. After the field faints, I will also bring down those servants, and then take you out of here."
"Yeah." Natsume took the package of medicine and stuffed it into the pillow.
Tanuma glanced at the bed inadvertently. Natsume sat on the left side of the bed with a tired face. The whole bed was messy, and the pillow on the right was still lying on the floor.
Presumably last night's field and Natsume were another spring night.
Tanuma clenched his fists, "In short, I will arrange it as soon as possible." Then he strode out.
Natsume followed Tanuma's gaze and looked over the bed.In fact, he and Chang didn't do anything last night, except that Chang woke up in the morning and wanted to kiss him, and he just slapped him.Natsume smiled wryly, anyway, he was leaving soon, whatever.
It wasn't long after Dechang entered the study that Nanase followed in.
"Homeowner."
"Is there a problem?"
Seeing him rubbing his left cheek, Nanase was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It is said that after the last meeting, a large number of exorcists from our faction have joined Natori."
"And then?" Dechang looked indifferent.
Nanase even found it a bit ridiculous that the head of the family had such an attitude.
"You... aren't you worried?"
"worry about what?"
"This is bound to have an impact on our position in the industry."
"So what?" Does status matter?He just has Natsume now.
"..." Nanase was speechless.
"We can't do anything now, just remove the defectors from our side."
"Patriarch... I don't think you should do anything unfavorable to the Chang family for Natsume Takashi."
"Then what do you think I should do now to benefit the Chang family?"
"You should send Natori Takashi back to Natori's side. According to my observation, Natori has true feelings for Natori. After Natori returns, he will definitely reject the marriage of the Nagato family. Breaking the marriage contract will definitely lead to internal strife between them. Such a family The threat is gone."
"Apart from this?"
"There is no other way, Patriarch. You forced Natori to do what he is doing now, and his goal is only Natsume."
"Natsume can't do it, you should think of another way."
"Homeowner..."
"Go out if you have nothing to do, I have some things to deal with."
Nanase closed the study door from the outside, sighed, "Oh...it's hopeless."
After eating breakfast, Natsume went out to wander around. He wanted to find out where the kitchen was so that he could prescribe medicine to him.
After wandering around, he arrived at the house where the monsters were placed that night that Chang took him past. Driven by curiosity, Natsume opened the door of that room.
It was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen.Just as Natsume turned to leave, he heard a familiar voice.
"Natsume!"
This voice is Sanxiao!
【23】
"Natsume!"
This voice is Sanxiao!
Natsume hurriedly confirmed: "Is it Sanxiao? Why are you here?"
"Ah... yes... it's me, Natsume, don't ask, come and save me!"
Natsume groped around following the sound, and saw a black bottle emitting a faint light.
"Natsume, quickly, help me untie the rope around the bottle."
"Ah good."
Natsume lowered his head, and he could vaguely see the ropes with many charms hanging on the ground. He fumbled slowly, found the knot, and untied it swiftly.
"Untied, and then?" Natsume asked.
"Then... did you see the formation on the ground?"
"Hmm... are these powders?"
"That's right, that's it, sweep them aside."
"it is good."
Natsume still did it.
"It's over."
Natsume looked up, and saw that all the bottles started to glow and shook slightly.
"Natsume, come here and help me uncork the bottle."
"Ah."
Natsume picked up the bottle containing Sanxiao, and pulled out the cork vigorously, but no matter how hard he pulled it out, he couldn't pull it out.
"Natsume, concentrate, only think about pulling the cork, and gather all the spiritual energy in the hand you pull out. Use cleverness, not brute force."
"Okay, I'll try."
According to what Sanxiao said, Natsume concentrated on uncorking the bottle, and gradually felt that all the heat in his body was flowing towards his right hand. He only used a little force, and the cork was opened.Then in an instant he was enveloped by a strong light, the monster escaped from the bottle, it wasn't Sanxiao, he just imitated Sanxiao's voice.
"Hahaha, kid, I really appreciate your spiritual power. Fortunately, I saw you and that old fellow Sanxiao before I was caught."
Immediately afterwards, all the bottles in the room were opened, and all the monsters in the bottles came out. The light in the room was very dazzling, and Natsume backed away in a panic, and escaped from the room.
The servants of Dichang's family all came over when they heard the movement, and seeing that all the monsters had been released, they didn't know what to do for a while.If it's just a monster, they can barely deal with it, but what they see in front of them is the most difficult monster to tame in the Zhang family.
"To repay you, let me... eat you!!"
The monster that Natsume thought was Sanxiao suddenly leaned over and rushed towards him, and he couldn't dodge it at all.
Just at the very moment, an arrow stably shot the monster between the eyebrows.The monster yelled at Chang Jingsi who shot the arrow a few times, and then reluctantly led the other monsters to break through the barrier that Madara couldn't break and escape.
Only then did Natsume come back to his senses, his legs went limp and he almost fell to the ground.
Zhang Jingsi walked towards him angrily.
"Snapped!"
Dechang slapped Natsume mercilessly, causing Natsume to fall to the ground.
"You won't be reconciled if you don't destroy all the Changjia, will you?!"
Natsume covered his left face and raised his head slowly, facing the distorted and angry face above, the only eye he showed was full of anger, disappointment, and even disgust.
Dechang closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then turned and left, and the servants quickly followed.
For a moment, only Nanase and Natsume who fell to the ground were left.
"Do you know why Natori got married?" Nanase said.
Natsume looked at her suspiciously, wondering why she would mention this now.
"His marriage partner is the young lady of the Nagato family who is also from the demon-killing family. After they get married, they will gradually gather power, and the ultimate goal may be to overthrow the Nagao family. Recently, many people from our faction have taken refuge in Natori. The status of the Chang family is already in jeopardy. In fact, the best way to do it now is to send you back and keep the status of the Chang family. But the owner disagrees. I don’t know what he thinks, probably he thinks he still holds the position of the Chang family. These big monsters, this is a good bargaining chip. Even if Natori rises, the Chang family will not decline. The patriarch's adolescent and naive revenge has long since ended. Can't you feel that he has fallen in love with you? But You are doing this now... is it Natori's instigation?"
"No...it's not Mr. Natori...I..." Natsume's right cheek started to feel hot.
"Don't talk about it. The master gave you a slap, which is already considered light. If the master is here, he will definitely throw you to feed the monster."
"I……"
"Natsume Takashi, you are really the bane of the Chang family. Or are you just a broom star, and you will be unlucky wherever you go? Huh?" Nanase smiled bitterly and left.
Natsume sat on the ground, crying aggrievedly.He didn't do it on purpose, let alone instigated by Natori.He is just a child, and he doesn't understand these intrigues in the demon world at all.Every word of Nanase's words pierced his heart like a sharp sword, more painful than that slap in the face.
【24】
Tanuma looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he went up to help Natsume up.
Natsume tried hard to keep the corners of his mouth from drooping, but he couldn't control it. He kept his mouth flat like this, with the fingerprints of Zhang and his own tears still faintly visible on his face.Tanuma touched his face distressedly, and said softly to him, "I'll give you the medicine, I'll take you away tonight!"
"Patriarch." Nanase called out in a low voice, "What should we do now?"
He didn't say a word, nor looked at her, with an obviously irritable expression on his face.
"If that group of people learns about today's incident, the Chang family will definitely be in crisis."
