When the boat reached the shore, the Inuyasha in the water had stabilized and climbed onto the shore. Kagome jumped ashore with Qibao, separating the little girl from Inuyasha, lest she collide with Inuyasha, and Maitreya dragged the wooden boat ashore. , So as not to speak after being washed away by the water:
"Girl, this is Kagome, this is Qibao, this is Inuyasha, we are not bad guys." Maitreya introduced his personnel to the little girl, omitting the silent grandfather Mingjia, just to be on the safe side.
"You two, aren't you monsters?" The little girl glanced suspiciously at Maitreya and Kagome, glanced at the Qibao in Kagome's arms, and the soaked Inuyasha, with disgust in her eyes.
"Inuyasha saved you just now." Seeing that the little girl seemed to have a distaste for monsters, Maitreya raised her eyebrows.
"Huh, monsters, hey...!" The little girl didn't buy a lot of money, she was about to scold the monsters as evil, and suddenly the bruises on her arm made her snorted unconsciously.
"You are injured, I'll help you see. I'm a human." Kagome saw that the little girl was injured and Inuyasha had already gone ashore. He quickly gave up his protection and went to the boat to take his gift bag.
Kagome's package carried an emergency medical kit from the wild. He put some potion on the little girl's bruise wound, and then softened her with an attitude. He learned that she was called Xiao Zhi, and the monster who had just chased her was called Spider Head.
"Those spider heads came here this spring. They live in corpses and eat their hosts. They are the most disgusting monsters." Xiao Nao seems to have a special hatred for monsters. While speaking, he looked at Inuyasha and Qibao. , Little Fox Demon's cute child appearance can't make her give up her prejudice.
"Huh, let's go! We." Seeing that Xiao Nai was not grateful to himself, Inuyasha showed disgust and didn't care much. He just squeezed the sleeves of Fire Rat Fur and stood up to greet everyone to leave, making Ge, who originally wanted to see righteousness and courage. Wei, I don't even know how to speak!
"Thank you very much for your shot this time, I will leave first." As indifferent as Inuyasha, Xiao Nai thanked Kagome and Maitreya, and then prepared to leave, turned around, and walked towards the river bank, ready to borrow from there. The vine leaves.
"I think it's better to do this, let's go separately! Let me follow Xiao Nai and get rid of the spider head! You can search around here to see if there is any news about the Four Soul Fragments here." Maitreya sees Inuyasha It seemed that the attitude was different. After thinking about it for a while, he took the initiative to propose and act separately.
"This is not good!" Kagome was a little uncomfortable. In this era of backward communication, once separated, it would be difficult to go together again.
"Then it's so decided. Tomorrow morning, we will come back here to wait for you." Inuyasha took the words in one mouth.
"Well, if I'm not here, Xiao Zhi, where do you live?" Maitreya nodded, and at the same time asked Xiao Zhi under the river bank over there.
"In the temple on the mountain." Xiao Kuan caught the vines on the rocks on the river bank, faced Maitreya's question, looked at Inuyasha and the recovered Qibao sitting on the ground, and pointed to the mountain in the north.
"Then you can find me on that mountain." Maitreya nodded to Inuyasha, and agreed on the way to meet again.
"I know." Inuyasha waved his hand.
"Then let's go! From here, those vines are too thin to climb." Maitreya refused to let Xiao Kui climb the road, but led her up the flat slope from the side, while the little girl held her hands. After the vines broke, they could only follow.
"Hey, be careful!" After walking out for a while, Inuyasha's reminder came from behind.
"Got it." Maitreya turned his head, looked at the half-demon boy reminding him on the rock under the river bank, waved at him, and then led Xiao Zhi into the way.
Seeing Maitreya in the distance taking the small water chestnut into the jungle, Kagome who was standing on the river bank slightly bulged, then turned around and looked at Inuyasha who was still wringing out the fire rat fur on the bank of the river below:
"Inuyasha, don't you like Ziya-kun?"
"... No!" Inuyasha turned around naturally, looking at the girl on the river bank, a little lost, and when he recovered, he shook his head quickly.
"Then what are you doing today..." Kagome always felt something wrong with Inuyasha.
"Cut, don't tremble, hurry up and find a safe place, prepare to spend the night!" Inuyasha interrupted Kagome, not wanting to say anything!
"Really, there are temples to go to, but I want to be here..." Kagome bulged, and Qibao, who was slightly more energetic, looked up at Inuyasha, and then cursed an idiot, obviously also a little dissatisfied.
Although a little dissatisfied, the group of people stayed in the wild, looking for a safe place to shelter, while on the other side, Maitreya followed the small water chestnut through the jungle and walked to a mountain road.
"Girl Xiao Nai, do you hate monsters so much?" Maitreya took time to ask on the road.
"I hate monsters the most." Xiao Nai nodded, then turned to look at the black and yellow repaired clothes, the walker with robes and knives on his back, paused slightly and said:
"Actually, you don't need to come here. Although the spider head is abominable, Master can clean it up."
"Master? Do you mean the host of the temple?" Maitreya raised his eyebrows. The place Xiao Nai invited him at the moment was a temple, and the little girl seemed to be in the temple.
"Yes, I wanted to pick some flowers and go to the tomb. I thought there would be no monsters near the temple, but I didn't expect it to be like this..." Xiao Nai nodded.
"Oh, it seems that I need me more." Maitreya smiled. Generally, the temples are protected by mana, but in this situation, there are monsters appearing nearby. It is obvious that the temple owner may have a problem and wants to eliminate the spiders. Head monster, I'm afraid he is really indispensable.
"Master can do it, too." Xiao Nai murmured, but seeing that Maitreya was a human and had helped himself, he was embarrassed to argue and could only lead him away silently.
"Girl Xiao Nai, I can inquire, why do you hate all monsters?" Maitreya asked the little girl silently.
"... My parents were killed by monsters." Xiao Nai sank, and said the situation somewhat uncomfortably.
"It turns out that this is the case, then you do have a reason to hate monsters." Maitreya did not consciously poke the other party's sad past, but nodded his head.
"Actually, monsters, no matter how they look, they have done anything, but they are all hateful, right?" Xiao Nai followed Maitreya's words and ran away, asking as if to verify.
"Yes, but how do you know what a person is and what a demon is!" Maitreya asked with a smile.
"It's not easy, kill..." Xiao Nai wanted to answer. Naturally, the murderer was a monster, but she took it before she could say it, because in this world, there are so many murderers than monsters.
"There is no difference between a person and a monster. The most important thing is a heart, a person with a disgusting heart, which is more hateful than a monster." Maitreya corrects the girl's hatred heart.
