Chapter 28 Homeless Girl

Wait until one day you regard the world as your hometown, look forward to it, and no longer have any hesitation.

The man finally breathed a sigh of relief as he saw light ahead. But as he approached the entrance of the cave, he suddenly found four corpses lying on the ground. Without exception, they all had their mouths open, their eyes widened, and their heads tilted upward. It was very similar to the story told to him by the onmyoji charlatan next door when he was a child, in which his soul was absorbed by ghosts and died.

He felt a chill in his heart, thinking that these were probably the ninjas who were chasing him.

Not daring to delay, he continued to run for his life while recalling the words of the old liar.

This time he chose to run into the town, and the death of those people appeared in his mind again, thinking that he would definitely die if he ran through the forest, and he could only survive by hiding in the town! He has already decided that he will publicize this matter when he enters the city. No matter how inactive the Tang Country Security Department is, they will not ignore the matter.

Time passed by, and the sky was gradually getting dark. He was exhausted and obviously no longer as fast as when he came. Besides, it had been nearly an hour since he left the cave. Logically speaking, he should have been able to reach the town by now. , but now he didn't even see the shadow of the outer wall.

His clenched fists were trembling, and he glanced behind him with a look of reluctance, "There was a jungle when he saw it, and no one was catching up." ’ This was already the sixty-fifth time he glanced back. When he came out of the cave, he felt that something was following him, very close, but when he turned around, there was nothing. Everything was as usual.

‘Scare yourself. ’ A smile that was uglier than crying appeared on the man’s face, he unclenched his fist and patted his face. ‘Maybe it’s because I took the wrong path while running through the woods. ’ He comforted himself in this way.

"Escape like this is not an option." He leaned against the tree and used the trunk to cover his body, and slowly sat down.

The hazy moonlight shone in the forest, "Huh" he breathed out softly, the alertness disappeared the moment he sat down, maybe he stopped chasing me.

"Hahahehehe" a silver bell-like laughter rang in his ears, right next to him! He felt that the owner of the voice was almost touching his shoulder! Suddenly startled, he opened his eyes and looked to his side.

As expected, there is still nothing.

"Hahahaha" the man laughed bitterly. He understood that the existence had been teasing him, just like when he was a child, he caught ants in the liar's house and never ran away again. He just sat here and waited for that person to come!

"The impure destiny of the Emperor and Heaven is why the people are shocked. The people are separated and lose each other, and they move eastward in the middle of spring." Not long after, a figure in red clothes and holding a flower umbrella appeared in the distance, her voice was like an oriole. It's sweet but full of sadness. He hummed an eerie tone, and with every step he took, his figure appeared out of thin air about a few feet away.

The man's eyes widened and he stared at that figure, but when the disaster was imminent, he became hardened. He knew that he was in danger today, and even if he couldn't drag her to hell with him, he would at least see clearly who killed him.

"When a bird flies back to its hometown, a fox must die on its head. I abandon you because I believe it is not my fault. How can I forget my hometown day and night?" Her tone was filled with eagerness and a little hatred when she hummed. What she hated was not Others don't know when to forget their hometown.

In just four sentences, the woman was already standing in front of him. "Who are you? Why do you have to kill me?" He yelled loudly. Since he had determined that the woman was here to kill him, he did not ask such useless questions as 'Why are you chasing me?'

He looked up at the woman in front of him calmly, waiting for her answer. That woman was very beautiful, and any words used to describe her appearance in this world would seem to be blasphemous. If they saw her, a man would definitely pat his chest and say, "Even if the Daimyo of Yuno Country saw her, he would not be able to walk." ’ But now that he is about to lose his life, what else can he pursue after a woman?

The woman tilted her head as if thinking, but she did not answer his question. Instead, she asked, "Do you know where your hometown is?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man's memory was pulled back to more than ten years ago, which was the last time he saw the old liar.

———————————Passing dividing line————————————

In the dilapidated hut, the old liar touched the head of the child next to him. "Kid, I know that you will have a terrible disaster in your middle age. If you don't resolve it, you will definitely die." As he spoke, he raised his other hand and put his finger on the child. He rubbed his eyes a few times.

"Huh? Just tell the liar that you don't have money to eat. If you do this all the time, you'll be beaten to death when you go out!" The child rolled his eyes at him. The old liar's face was sallow and his eyes were drowsy recently. He looked like he hadn't eaten in a few days. I threw some silver coins to him casually, and the child turned and left without looking back.

"Hehe, you little brat, you do have some kindness." The old liar chuckled with a sly look, and picked up the silver coins on the ground. "Little devil~ just remember one thing and I can take you to find your home! You can save your life then, don't forget it~"

"I know, I know~ I gave you money and treated you to a meal and you are still cursing me!" The child who had just walked out of the house turned around and yelled.

The old liar lived with him for three years and taught him some stealing methods, including those "take one out of every three, take two out of five". The old liar also taught him. He didn't believe it at first, but as time went by, it became like, "Those who are close to red are red, and those who are close to ink are black."

Seeing the child's figure disappear from sight, the old liar shook his head and smiled bitterly, sighing, "Forgetful girls are all women who died in a foreign land. After death, their souls have forgotten their hometown and cannot reincarnate, so they linger in this world. What is ridiculous is wrong in life. A person of great kindness cannot turn this ghost into a ghost. What I want is to make her do evil and not good, so as not to achieve great merit and transform into an immortal."

(The girl who forgets her hometown usually wanders on the ancient paths in the forest. When someone asks someone, "Do you know where the hometown is?" If she answers "yes", she will become angry and ashamed. In the future, someone will kill her, collect her blood, and put it in a blood pool. If she answers "I don't know", she will smile happily, and in the future, people's souls will be collected in the blood pool, which is called "Anxiang". In order to complete herself, the forgetful girl regards the blood pool as her hometown. The more souls in the blood pool, the more her power will increase. The stronger. The blood pool will not dry up, and the Forgotten Girl will never be destroyed.)

From that day on, the old liar left the village and never disappeared.

More than ten years later, he didn't take what happened back then seriously, thinking it was just a casual talk by an old liar to get some money. Who would have thought today

Swallowing, he felt a little scared again when he remembered that he still had a chance to survive. The corner of his mouth grinned, ‘A dead horse is being treated as a live horse doctor! ’ Thinking of this, he cautiously said, “I can take you to find your home.”

"Really?" Putting down the umbrella, the woman's face slowly came closer. He was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head. As soon as he lowered his head while sitting on the ground, his eyes moved to the woman's feet.

"Of course." Before he finished speaking, he was inevitably startled again. A black shadow suddenly appeared in front of the woman and slowly approached him. The woman had her back to the moonlight. Is that her shadow? Wait, there was no shadow of her just now! Is everything the old liar said all those years true?

He raised his head in panic, and the woman in front of him was smiling like a flower.
