Through the daily life of Ghost Slayer

Chapter 17 Hanako
It is very clean and tidy, without any trace of clutter. It can be seen that this little girl loves to be clean. Under such circumstances, Zhang Xie still has the mind to clean up the house. Zhang Xie doesn't know what words to use to describe the girl in front of her.

Zhang Xie found a place to sit down, and asked softly, "Tell me about the situation here."

In the girl's intermittent description, Zhang Xie learned that this was a small village with fewer and fewer people. Later, with the addition of the girl's family, there were only two or three households left. They got along fairly well at first, and some of them have been living together for many years. Here comes the old neighbor.

One day, a young man came to the village. He walked around and nodded with satisfaction. He quickly settled down and brought popularity to the village. As soon as the young man settled in, he moved again one after another. Several families came, and the small village became more and more popular.

The old residents were very happy to see that the small village was flourishing day by day, and they gladly accepted the new residents. Everyone got to know each other very quickly, but the good times didn’t last long. After two or three years, people in the village kept disappearing.

The missing people were all old residents, so the old residents pointed the finger at the new residents, unanimously believing that the new residents were responsible. They even brought up the legend of evil spirits eating people, insisting that there were evil spirits among the new residents.

The new residents naturally refused, so the relationship deteriorated. Some people planted locust trees by the side of the house, setting a precedent, so more people planted trees outside the house to separate the houses, forming a culture of not communicating with each other.

Zhang Xie noticed that the girl was planting wisterias outside the house, so he pretended to be careless and asked: "The flowers outside your house are pretty."

The girl said, "That's wisteria. I heard that it can restrain evil spirits, so I planted some."

Wisteria flowers can indeed restrain evil spirits. Wisteria flowers were planted all over the final selection site of Fujikiri Mountain, and those captured evil spirits were locked inside. Wisteria flowers are poison to evil spirits. Once contaminated, they will Poisoned and died.

Of course, the strength of evil spirits is also divided into strengths and weaknesses. For powerful evil spirits, although wisteria flowers are poisonous, a small amount of poison can resist it.

The girl timidly said: "They have been missing for a long time, and I have gone out to look for them, but I dare not go too far, I..." She sobbed and cried again.

Zhang Xie quickly comforted her. This girl was so weak and pitiful that I felt pity for her.

It took the girl a long time to stop crying, raised her head, opened her big tear-filled eyes, and choked with sobs: "I heard that there are swordsmen who specialize in killing ghosts. It would be great to meet them."

As she said that, she cast her eyes on Zhang Xie. Although Zhang Xie was wearing the uniform of the Ghost Slayer Squad, he was covered with a slender robe, which completely covered the uniform, but the sun wheel knife fell into the girl's eyes.

The girl suppressed her excitement and asked cautiously: "Are you a samurai?"

It is no longer the era of the shogunate, and the existence of samurai has become history, but there are still some people who wear samurai swords.

Zhang Xie shook his head. He considered himself not a samurai. After all, there was no government authorization. Demon Slayer Swordsmen was a hidden organization that was not recognized by the government. To a certain extent, it was illegal. Naturally, it could not match the power and status. compared to the samurai.

The girl looked away in disappointment, and said softly: "Then you'd better leave quickly, it's not safe here."

Zhang Xie asked in surprise: "Since it's not safe, why don't you leave?"

The girl said timidly: "Where else can I go? This is my home, and I have nowhere to go except here."

As she spoke, her eyes turned red, and hot tears fell down again.

Zhang Xie didn't expect the little girl to start crying after saying a few words, she was too crying, he hurriedly comforted her, but the more he talked, the more frequent the girl's tears fell.

Zhang Xie got up quickly: "Okay, okay, I'm here today to see if that evil spirit dares to come out."

The girl held back her tears, but couldn't hold back her sobs for a while, sobbed twice, and looked at Zhang Xie with tears in her eyes: "Can you kill the evil spirit?"

Zhang Xie nodded heavily, and said confidently, "Of course."

The girl smiled happily. She wiped the tears on her cheeks and said, "You can call me Hanako."

Zhang Xie smiled slightly: "Zhang Xie."

The smile on Hanako's face didn't last long. Thinking of her missing parents, her expression became gloomy again. She asked in a crying voice, "Zhang Xiejun, can you help me find our parents?"

Zhang Xie was in a bit of a dilemma, it had been so long, and he was probably eaten by the evil spirits, but seeing the girl Lihua's rainy face, he couldn't bear it, so he nodded.

Hanako cried with joy, grabbed Zhang Xie's arm, and cried: "That's great, thank you, thank you so much, Zhang Xiejun."

After repeated weighing, Zhang Xie decided to stay here for one night. As for the cherry cakes at Ganlu Temple, Zhang Xie secretly thought that if she knew the situation here, she would definitely support Zhang Xie’s decision. After all, Ganlu Temple is also a kind and lovely person. girl.

The waiting time was often very long. Zhang Xie was at a loss at Huazi's house. It was the first time he was alone with a girl in his boudoir.

It was a very delicate cuisine, plus the glutinous and delicious rice balls, Zhang Xie ate two or three at a time, I have to say that Hanako's craftsmanship is superb, compared with the rice balls in the village of the knife forger, he was much more panic-stricken.

After clearing the dining table, Hanako sat down opposite Zhang Xie again. She asked with a worried look: "Zhang Xiejun, do we need to prepare anything?"

Zhang Xie shook his head, he could kill even the stringed ghost easily, but he couldn't catch such a low-class kid like him.

Hanako asked again, "Is there anything I need to do?"

Zhang Xie shook his head.

Hanako continued to ask: "Then when will we start catching ghosts?"

Zhang Xie pointed to the sun outside and said, "Wait for the sun to go down."

Huazi's brows were tightly frowned. The legendary evil spirits eat people, and she was very scared. Although Zhang Xie had promised to kill the evil spirits, she still had no confidence.

Zhang Xie thought about it. In the current situation, in order to reduce casualties, Yin Zhizhu or Shanyi must be asked to help. He called his crow.

Every swordsman who has just joined the Demon Slayer Corps has a crow of his or her own for communication purposes. Zhang Xie also has one. When he calls softly, a black and shiny crow flies in and stops on it. On the rafters.

Zhang Xie thought about it, Yin Zhizhu is not easy to get along with, and he is very reckless, lacking common sense of the world, maybe he will ruin his own affairs. On the balance, it is better to be good and reliable. He said to the crow: "Ask Shanyi to come here to help."

The crow mouthed: "Okay."
