The old woman fooled the villagers, saying that it would rain in a few days, and the old woman was highly respected in the village, most of the villagers accepted this fact.
Yaeji saw that the people who discussed the sacrificial offerings a few days ago gathered together again to discuss other matters with his father.
Regardless of other things, Yaeji thinks that the "mother-in-law" who is quite prestigious among the villagers is extremely suspicious.
Could it be that she still tried to deceive the gods after checking Liang's body
Liang's body was carried to the back mountain for burial by several villagers who dealt with funeral affairs. Liang's mother was still in a state of emotional breakdown, and only her father saw her off.
The blood splashed and flowed on the altar, and no one cleaned it up. Usually, the blood will be washed away after a heavy rain during sacrifices. This time... the inexperienced villagers dare not go up to the altar to clean up the blood. so as not to offend the gods.
"Let's go."
Yaeji patted his younger sister on the shoulder and said softly.
"oh."
Yae Sakura was depressed, and he didn't know what to say to comfort him. This is the pressure that every generation of witches has to bear. If the normal situation develops according to the normal situation, within a few years, Sakura will probably be the only one holding a sharp knife on the altar to offer sacrifices to the gods.
The days passed day by day, and Yaeji didn't dream of that world full of steel and concrete for many days.
In the dream, the skill points on the blue panel were slowly increasing, but unfortunately, those skill points could not light up Yae Ji's most curious Prajna Heart.
Sakura became silent.
Under the guidance of Yae Ji, Sakura has grown rapidly in terms of physical fitness and swordsmanship. In this context, the person responsible for feeding Rin's decoction became Yae Ji.
"Wow~"
Looking down at the fresh water in the big tank that was about to bottom out, Yaeji subconsciously licked his chapped lips again.
"No, someone seems to have said in the dream that licking your lips when you are thirsty will only make them dry." Yazhongji shook his head, and his ear-level pink hair swayed accordingly. There is a weird smell of rancidity.
He hasn't bathed for too many days, and yesterday there were two villagers fighting over fresh water in the village. Yaeji is not surprising, even the highest shrine in the village does not have enough fresh water supply, let alone ordinary people.
After absent-mindedly cooking the decoction for Rin, Yaeji returned to the room and fed it to the weak Rin spoon by spoon.
The sun outside was scorching, except for the early morning, Yae Sakura mostly chose to practice swordsmanship at night, and during the day, she was called by her father to learn about witches.
After feeding Rin the medicine, Yaeji, who had nothing to do, sat in the shade of the house and looked out. Even if there was a wind blowing in the sweltering heat, it was still a hot breeze.
Yaeji wanted to swallow again.
Thirsty, so thirsty.
Now that the supply of fresh water is insufficient, he can only minimize his body's needs.
Suddenly, there was the sound of running outside.
"Brother, brother! My lord father told you to go look for him at the gate of the shrine with a knife!"
Before anyone even entered the room, Sakura's voice came first.
Yaeji hurriedly stood up, took the Taidao from the wooden stand, hung it on his waist, and lightly pressed the handle with his right hand to ensure the balance of the whole sword.
He ran forward and saw Yae Sakura, who was sweating profusely on his forehead, and asked, "What does father want from me?"
"Huh~" The petite girl took a breath and said, "Some villagers ran to Father and said it was... that someone turned into a monster!"
"Monster?" Yaeji immediately thought of the bear monster he had seen before, and then thought of the monster dominated by the hatred of monsters recorded in the shrine.
"You stay at home and don't go anywhere! Remember what I said!" Yazhongji said seriously, and then ran towards the gate of the shrine.
"Be careful!"
Yaeji waved his hands behind him, and ran down the steps of the shrine gate in a blink of an eye.
Around the corner, his father and a villager were waiting for him.
The villager looked anxious, and when he saw Yachongji running, he saluted slightly, and then said anxiously: "My lord, please hurry up, I'm afraid the wooden door won't be able to stop them!"
"Let's run!"
...
The three of Yachongji started from the small path, passed the small bridge by the river, and ran less than 20 meters forward, and there were houses of villagers.
In front of one of the houses, there were several relatively strong young people resisting, and the door vibrated from time to time.
"Get out of the way! Lord God and Lord Ji are here!"
The surrounding villagers gave way, seeing that the crowd did not panic, and there should not be many people who turned into monsters, so Yaeji felt relieved.
"Tell me what's going on?"
Lord Yae spoke.
"Oh! Lord God, you are finally here, don't come again..."
"It's all because of Daisuke's return!"
"Liang's family is really pitiful. I don't have the blessing to serve the gods, even her parents have become monsters."
"You said... Is it because the little girl Liang harbored resentment and turned into a monster to take revenge?"
"It's Daisuke! It's Daisuke!"
The crowd suddenly became noisy, Yae-sama frowned, and said in a low voice, "Okay! Don't talk! Whoever knows best, stand up and tell me!"
As the head of the shrine, this majesty is still there. The crowd quieted down, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, no one spoke first.
"My lord, I am a neighbor of her family." A middle-aged man who was as thin as ribs, as if any gust of wind could blow him down, stood up and said.
"You speak!"
"Yes, Lord God. I don't know much. After Daisuke was released a few days ago, he came to Ryo's house. He probably had a big argument with Ryo's parents at her house after learning of Ryo's death. Hearing the sound, he probably moved his hands and feet."
"The kid in my family saw Daisuke in the back mountain that evening, and then he disappeared. Until this morning, Daisuke came back suddenly! He came to Liang's house with a front leg of a ferocious beast, and said yes Come to apologize."
"Afterwards, Junshu next door went to Liang's house to borrow something, and all of us heard a howling sound, and there was no more to say."
"Those strong guys said that they saw the appearance of a man-eating monster when they were young, and they hurriedly blocked the door of her house, probably like this."
The father didn't speak, and Yaeji who was standing beside him didn't say a word, but he pressed the handle of the knife with a lot of force, and those blue and purple eyes were shining from time to time.
"Boom!"
There was a loud bang, and the dust on the door beam fell down, and several strong boys blushed.
"Quick! Those monsters are too strong, we won't last long!"
"Dasuke got a monster's front leg from somewhere. The two of them definitely ate it. Affected by the monster's hatred, it turned into a monster that can only eat people!"
"That's right! How could Daisuke do this!"
The voices of the crowd rose again.
"Are you sure?"
Yaeji was taken aback, and looked up at his father who was talking to him.
