[Inuyasha] Looking back at Chaoshan Heng

The author has something to say:

Light the candles on the table, and the dark room is illuminated by a little bright yellow.Eyes that have long been accustomed to the dark, at this moment because this is not a particularly bright light, they feel slightly uncomfortable.

The room was as messy as I imagined, even worse than imagined.The blood that gradually began to coagulate was scattered and thickly distributed on the right side of the room.Especially on that table, the monster's dead body was lying on it, and the neck that was only connected to the head intermittently, the blood sprayed from the gap has now turned into small streams of outflow.

The human skin whose demonic power has suddenly dissipated looks like a leaky wrinkled pocket.

I still feel the nausea rising from my throat, it's not so strong as to vomit, it's more like a group of stones stuck in my heart.Everything before recalled like a dream, frame by frame blurred and flew away, leaving lingering fear and fatigue after some excitement faded away.

This is my third time killing a demon.

The left arm was tearing with slight movements, and I looked at it by the light of the candle.The fabric on the upper arm close to the elbow was torn quite a bit, the upper body including the crimson there, I don't know which is my blood and which is that monster's.

"... Sister Liang?"

A girl's doubtful voice came from outside, it was the older of the two children.It should be the light and sound that woke her up. At the same time, I heard the sound of rustling clothes, and the candlelight was also lit outside, and then the sound of footsteps came slowly.

Seeing that she was about to lift the curtain, I couldn't think of a way to stop her from coming in for a while.In the end, I could only run a few steps over to extinguish the candles. At this time, the curtain was half lifted, and a familiar female voice came from farther outside: "Xiaojiang?"

It's Hideko.

The candlelight in my hand flicked vigorously, and it brightened again as I left.Listening to Xiuzi and Xiaojiang talking outside, things like "The light in my sister's room is on but she hasn't gotten up yet", "Maybe there is something wrong", "Nannan, you are awake too, go on to sleep" and so on.

With the fastest writing speed in my life, I picked up the charcoal and cloth strips that were placed on the side of the tatami for the convenience of communication, and quickly wrote down the words "please wait, don't come in".Hearing that the discussion outside was coming to an end, I rushed to the door, carefully opened a corner of the curtain, and pushed the cloth strip out.

Looking closely under the candlelight, all ten fingers were stained with blood, and the scarlet color was condensed between the nails.The color of the fabric is not deep, and it was somewhat stained when writing, and the light and shadow are light and dark, like a light rouge mark.

"Well, okay, I'll wait here. If you need help, please let me know."

Through a curtain that was neither thin nor thick, Xiuzi replied softly.I don't know if she guessed something, after all, the smell of blood is too strong.

All I need to do is just a little time to write, so that she has a certain amount of mental preparation.

[Just now a monster appeared in the inner room and sealed off the room.I killed it and now the house is messy and I hurt my arm.Can you get me some water, medicine and bandages?In addition, please go to Dongchan Temple to invite people.I don't know if youkai will have companions, please. ]

Writing with one hand is a painful thing. I only use extra cloth strips to barely stop the bleeding on my upper arm, and it still hurts like convulsions at this moment.A piece of cloth was half full, and I was covered in cold sweat.I took long, deep breaths to adjust my body, allowing oxygen to enter my brain, which somewhat relieved the dizziness.

The cloth strips were sent out in the same way, and I heard a gasp from outside, followed by an anxious female voice: "Cool? Are you okay? Where is the injury?!"

After a moment of silence, she stood up immediately: "Please wait. Xiao Jiang, take Nan Nan to sleep on the couch in the main room, and then invite your father to the yard."

Fragile human voices and footsteps stepped out of the outer door, and soon there were noisy conversations in the yard.I sat down against the wall by the door, glanced at my arm, then put my eyes on the black and red eyes frozen in hell, and smiled wryly.

The surrounding atmosphere is thick and thin, and the mixed and distinct feeling reminds me of the man who took the monster away during the day.He was indeed a normal human being, and the reason why the boy was a little weird at that time, but he couldn't feel the real abnormality, should be the sachet with the same weird smell.

In this magical world, there are still too many undiscovered and unrecognized existences.

Like the Song I met before, that was the first accident I knew about "breath".But today's experience tells me that it won't be the last.

I don't know who that man is, and why he hides such a monster.But at this moment, doubts and curiosity are secondary. I must first ensure that I can live safely.

"Cool, here."

The footsteps approached again, and then a basin of hot water soaked in a white towel and a small wooden box were stuffed in. On the wooden box were placed long strips of dry cloth.I dragged them into the house, smoothed off the barely tied strips of cloth, and reached for the cloth.

"Lan Yujun has already gone to the monastery to look for my brother, and he should be here soon. That box is the wound medicine that my brother got from the temple, and the effect is very good."

Cover the wound with a towel, and perform basic disinfection with hot water.The wound has shown a slight convergence, and a little light red oozes after wiping.Fortunately, it was a laceration. Although it looked long, it was not very deep.

Use the small wooden chip in the box to smear the ointment, bite the cloth strips and wrap yourself up.I washed my hands and face, looked at the blood all over my body, and finally put on the robe on the bedside.

Wiping the blood off the dagger, he reattached it to the calf holster.At this moment, the courtyard became lively again. Xiuzi's footsteps walked a few steps away, and then she turned to me and said, "Ah, someone is here. How are you? Can you come in?"

In fact, she doesn't need to tell me, those approaching breaths have already told me this.I stretched out my hand to lift the curtain, put it down immediately after coming out, and put the last piece of cloth in Xiuzi's hand: [You'd better not go in, let others go. ]

Those chaotic footsteps came towards here, and there were five or six people who heard the sound.I carefully discerned the past and confirmed that there were no traces of youkai, and...

"Is it here? The person you said was attacked by a monster?"

Five people walked into the house, except for Xiuzi's husband Lan Yu, the remaining four people, including Xiuzi's elder brother Master Yuantong, were all monks.

The only temples near here are Dongchan Temple.But among these four people, only two were wearing Shingon sect's monk clothes.

Actually, there are monks from other monasteries?

A certain premonition slowly formed in my heart, and another Shingon monk outside Yuantong had already walked in front of us.

"Are you the one who killed the monster? The monster is inside?" He looked at me in surprise, "The benefactor...is so young."

"Master Fazhao," Xiuzi said at this moment, she obviously knew this monk, "Excuse me, what happened?"

The monk named Fazhao looked at her for a long time, then sighed slightly:

"It's a sin, it's all a sin..."

"The owner of the Yixi shop on the next street is superstitious about the way of demons. He refines monsters in the cellar, intending to feed demons as his servants..." He shook his head, "He reaped the fruit of his own accord. Devour. Out-of-control monsters are messing around in the city tonight, and here——is already the sixth place."

According to their explanation later, the monster riot tonight affected six places including here.

This is currently the case.

The reason why I use "currently" to describe it is because three of the remaining five are similar to my situation.

——The established space is closed, and there is no abnormal feeling outside.

Therefore, it is impossible to determine whether new chaos will be discovered later.

Among the similar places, one of them was attacked by a mage, who used a spell to break the barrier and hurt the monster, and took the opportunity to remove it, because there were no casualties.But there are two remaining families, and one family has some influence. After the elder who lived alone in the side room died, the monster who was "eating" was discovered by the children who came to visit, and they fought for a long time surrounded by servants. However, there were many wounded, and finally the monster was grinded to death.

The other family will have too many misfortunes, a small family of five, three of whom are children.It is said that the two rooms where people used to live were washed with blood, but no one was able to escape from the house, and the neighbors did not notice it at all.

Even now, the whereabouts of this monster have not been determined.

The monsters in the other two places suddenly appeared, and they did not hesitate to wreak havoc, rushing up to bite and devour people when they saw them.They are monsters with astonishing strength and relatively tough skin. Although they have no other magic skills, they have killed and injured many people in that area only by brute force.

I was the victim of the sixth yokai, and the only one who killed the yokai by myself besides the mage.

At some point, not being able to talk is a bit of an advantage.At least the reason "communication is inconvenient" is enough to make the other party stop asking.

While several other people went in to check and clean up, Xiuzi took me to change clothes, and came back to listen to Yuantong's general summary of tonight's situation.Then he half-probingly and half-inquiringly mentioned my process of killing the demon. I thought about it and wrote on the cloth note: [I used to go hunting with my relatives, and I am familiar with the habits of wild beasts. That demon is very similar. ]

Vague and simple explanations are just excuses.In this era of no human/meat search, I am not worried about my information identity.

What's more, writing and communicating is inherently troublesome.

The wound can only be said to be not deep, but it is not as simple as a broken skin and scratches.The basic problems were almost handled, and the feeling of exhaustion in his bones at this time was finally too strong to be ignored.

Stretching out my hands to press my temples, I put my palms together towards Yuantong, and after a slight salute, I walked towards Xiuzi who was standing by the door not far away with a worried expression.

"Leng, what's wrong?"

She turned around and looked over, I smiled at her, and slowly gestured: [Very tired. ]

Xiuzi was stunned for a moment, and then realized: "Ah, that's it... Come with me, there is still a spare couch."

The noise in the yard was faintly blurred after the curtain fell, and Xiuzi's four children were asleep in the compartment.Lan Yu asked her to go to rest before, and when I lay down, I heard her voice coaxing her daughter from the cubicle, and the boy whose voice was changing, asked worriedly.

Lie down with your body relaxed, taking care not to press on the wound.Through the paper window at the other end of the room, one can vaguely see the slightly whitish sky.After tossing for half the night, it was almost dawn at this time.

After a moment of trance, I closed my eyes.
