"chi"
Yaeji put down the shovel and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Then he patted the raised soil with a shovel.
"Okay, Daisuke. I hope that you and Ryo can meet in Mingyuan and be together again in the next life."
Yazhongji leaned on the shovel and looked at the unnamed tombstone for a long time.
"Next time I will bring Sakura Fubuki to carve a few words for you."
After finishing speaking, the shovel in Yaeji's hand disappeared instantly.
"go home."
Yazhongji glanced at the sky and walked down the back hill.
Not long after, he saw a familiar figure on the mountainside.
Wearing the same costume as a candidate for the priestess, her long pink hair was swaying back and forth with the running "tuanzi".
"cherry?"
"elder brother?!"
The anxious Yae Sakura wobbled and stepped on a raised hard rock.
"Crack~"
Losing her body's center of gravity, Yae Sakura, who was leaning back, was tightly grabbed by a small hand covered in mud.
"What's wrong?" Seeing such an unusual younger sister, Yaeji was puzzled.
Could it be that a big monster broke into the village
Seeing Yae Ji with a puzzled face, the young Sakura couldn't bear it any longer, and all the helplessness she felt in the meeting hall erupted at this moment.
"elder brother!"
Yae Sakura didn't care about the blood and mud on Yaeji's body, just like when she was giving the knife, she hugged it with all her might.
Small hands wrapped tightly around Yaeji's slender waist, like a helpless person in a flood, who found a floating tree trunk and naturally wanted to lean on it.
"Okay, okay, am I back?"
Yaeji pressed her chin against Sakura's beautiful pink hair, and patted Sakura's back with her small hand. He thought his sister was worried about him hunting monsters...
The smell of blood is mixed with the dusty smell of dried mud, which is definitely not a pleasant smell. But Yae Sakura can feel at ease like never before.
After being greedy for more than ten seconds, Yae Sakura got up, with a little hesitation in her expression.
He whispered: "Brother, let's go."
"Okay." Yaeji smiled, "Let's go home."
As soon as Yaeji took a few steps, her sleeve was grabbed by her little hand.
turn around.
Sakura lowered her head, her long bangs concealed the gloomy expression on her pretty face.
"I mean, let's... let's live in Ojo. There is a skilled doctor in Ojo, who can definitely cure Rin's illness. When Rin's illness is cured, we will go together... . .. ”
Yaeji frowned. He felt something was wrong. Before his sister finished speaking, he interrupted and said, "What's wrong with Rin? Is it getting worse?"
Recalling today's events in his mind, the expression on Yaeji's small face suddenly became eerie.
"What was discussed in the meeting hall today?"
Yae Sakura let go of her small hand, trembling slightly, "Father has decided... to use Rin as a sacrifice."
The small head is lower, Sakura is like a child who has done something wrong and is waiting to be punished, and there is a hint of crying in her voice: "My lord father said, let me preside over this sacrifice."
"Who suggested it?"
Yazhongji's voice contained anger, and he wished he could pull out the shovel right now and give those evil pens a shovel.
"There is my mother-in-law, the Kimura clan, and..."
The heart beats violently in the chest cavity, the blood flow speeds up, and the heat emitted by the body gradually increases. But it is rare for Yazhongji to calm down, to deal with monsters, and to deal with every battle, he cannot rely on anger.
Anger destroys your sanity and often leads you into the worst possible situations.
"When will it be held?"
"My lord father said it was tomorrow."
Yaeji squinted his eyes, and he looked up the mountain, where Daisuke's bones were buried. Those words that Daisuke said to him before he died...
"Master Ji, do you love your sister?"
"... Only a pure maiden of the witch's blood can calm the anger..."
"People are selfish."
"Stupid and Greedy..."
"... ... is a piece of trash!"
"...it is impossible to stop the sacrifice....."
Yaeji fell silent.
Touched Sakura's little head.
"Pack up your things? Let's take Rin to Dacheng to see a doctor, okay?"
Yae Sakura raised her small head, looked at her brother who was smiling, and nodded abruptly:
"good!"
Yaeji and Yae Sakura trotted away from the back mountain. Since the sacrifice will be held tomorrow, they still have a while.
Yaeji believed in his own martial power. With his skills, wouldn't it be easy to support a few people in the big city
Just relying on martial arts and fighting power, the current Yazhongji even dared to fight against the guards in those big cities.
If you have Sakura Fubuki in your hand...
The two copied a trail that led directly to the shrine.
It is now exactly noon, and the culprit that caused the drought is still radiating its almost inexhaustible energy wantonly.
It was very quiet in the shrine.
"You go to the side room to pack your things first, and just bring a few large rice balls, enough for us to eat on the way."
"Yeah." Sakura nodded her head.
"I'll go to the warehouse to get two knives first. Also, after you see Rin, don't mention a word about the sacrifice, just say that you are going to take her to Dacheng for treatment."
"Okay." Sakura's face was full of seriousness, remembering everything Yaeji arranged clearly.
The two separated.
Yazhongji went to the warehouse and touched the few silver mines left.
Stone concentrate is the most mined, and it is also the most commonly used ore for various utensils in the village. As for red gold ore and silver pyrite, the blacksmiths in Yae Village are not yet so skilled in handling them, and they are usually sold to blacksmiths in Dacheng.
Some stone concentrates were taken away, and half of the red gold ore and silver ash ore were taken away.
From the corner, he took out two swords that had been sharpened, and stuffed them into his backpack.
The icon immediately changes to a green background.
Introduction: The knives forged from stone concentrate often have longer durability than ordinary knives. Its origin comes from the blacksmith shop in Yae Village.
I took a few more training small wooden knives.
The icon changes to green again.
Introduction: A training knife made of fir wood and pine wood is used. Although it is small, it still hurts when it hits a person.
Yaeji has roughly figured out the value classification in the backpack, among which the purple icon background is the highest, followed by blue, and finally green.
"Almost, these things are enough to exchange for money."
Yazhongji turned around, looked around the warehouse again, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Compared with the big city, he still wants to stay in Yae Village. When more wells are dug, there will be more and more ways to get fresh water. As long as there is water, everything is not a problem.
The fox god guarding one side? He who holds a spiritual knife can do it too!
But in the end... Thinking of all the things that happened before, a trace of undetectable hostility flashed in Yazhongji's eyes.
...
At the same time, Yae Sakura, who was packing up the belongings of the three siblings in the side room, was dreaming of a bright future.
They are going to the big city!
Get away from this village.
There will be the best doctors in the big city to treat Rin.
Wait until Rin's illness recovers.
She will definitely let her brother take them to eat the best food.
Then go to the mountains and watch the cherry blossoms together...
