Yaohi Hill

Cuizi is a very powerful witch.

She never easily reveals her vulnerable side in front of outsiders.She always seems to be a noble and pure witch, holding a bow and arrow, looking into the distance calmly.

Shikui is very envious of Cuizi like this.

Cuizi's belief is very firm. Ever since she was discovered to have powerful spiritual power at a very young age, she has shouldered the responsibility of destroying monsters.As her strength became stronger and stronger, the responsibilities on her body became heavier and heavier.

If I were Cuizi, I might not be able to bear this kind of expectation. Maybe after a long time, after fighting non-stop with monsters, on a certain day, I would feel a deep sense of exhaustion in my heart.

After all, I am not a person with firm beliefs. From the past to the present, I just live for the sake of living.

But Cuizi is different, she seems to live only to fight monsters.

For so many days, Shi Kui has never seen the slightest wavering and tiredness on Cuizi's face.She always keeps her back straight and walks ahead alone. Whenever she encounters a monster, she will wipe it out very quickly, like a conditioned reflex.

Cuizi stayed in the village during this time and did not go out.

Shi Kui also stayed here for a week.

Every day when night fell, she would lean against the back of the door and stare at the extraordinarily bright sky of this era in a daze.

Perhaps it was because she had been looking at it for too long, she would see that her eyes were dizzy, and then she gradually saw a familiar figure appearing not far away.

"Master Yasha!"

When she stood up excitedly and called out to the phantom that seemed familiar, she found that she seemed to be talking to the empty ground.

The phantom disappeared in an instant, which gradually shattered the hope in her heart.

The moon in the sky is still very clear, and the night is just right.

But the person I expected still didn't appear, maybe, he would never come back.

Shi Kui thought a little lonely.

She involuntarily hugged her arms tightly.

It was obviously summer, but at this moment, I felt chills all over my body, as if I was in an ice cellar.

Slow footsteps came from behind, and Cuizi's cool and reassuring voice came: "Are you still waiting for him?"

Shi Kui turned her head involuntarily, and then sighed softly: "Master Cuizi, do I...should I give up?"

Cuizi sat down beside her, and then looked sideways at the moon, with deep eyes: "That person should be a very important companion to you."

Shi Kui nodded.

"Master Cuizi, to be honest, I've always been scared."

Cuizi's beautiful appearance and unexpectedly gentle voice soothed her heart, making Shikui involuntarily want to confide in her heart.

"You are here, what are you worrying about?"

"I... have no family, no friends, and I don't know where I should go, and I don't know what I can do."

Shi Kui's nose was a little sore.

"Since I came here, I have known him as a companion. He is the only one who treats me well. Although I haven't known him for long, he is always fierce, but I really... feel like being by his side is like My reason for living."

"If he disappears, I really don't know... what to do."

What can we do?

Shi Kui felt like a frightened bird, accustomed to the protection of the bird's nest, once lost the safe nest, she would be at a loss what to do.

She never had the courage to face everything by herself.

"Am I too useless...?"

Suddenly, a warm hand touched her head, and Cuizi's eyes were full of comfort: "I can understand your mood."

"Many people will say to me, Cuizi, you are born a witch, you must protect everyone in the village. Actually, I am not afraid. When facing powerful monsters, I will be injured, and even A few times, I almost died in the hands of monsters."

"But how can I be afraid?" Cuizi lowered her head, her voice was as calm as ever, but her voice seemed a little trembling. "If I am afraid, who will protect everyone? If I am afraid like ordinary women, then I will no longer be a witch, and by that time, the village will fall into a worse situation, right? .”

"So, no matter who you are, you will feel powerless. However, if you can become stronger, then maybe many things can be changed."

Cuizi smiled suddenly, she usually had a cold and serious look, and rarely had such a warm smile.

"So, you who are very similar to me, you must work hard. That companion who doesn't know where, no matter whether he is alive or not, wouldn't want to see you like this?"

Shi Kui was stunned.

She suddenly remembered that Yasha always called her a "useless woman" fiercely, but at a critical moment, she still chose to let her escape and face everything by herself.

If I could become stronger, wouldn't it be... none of this would happen.

Never lose someone important again.

Her heart seemed to be stabbed in half by the needle, she looked at Cuizi's face, and then nodded heavily.

Never have such evasive thoughts again.

Because she has the spiritual power that Cuizi said, she saved herself and let herself stay in the peaceful village, where she can eat the rice offered by the villagers every day.

No matter what, she should repay her kindness.

Even if, part of it is because of myself, I really don't want to be a person who is at the mercy of fate.

"Thank you, Cuizi-sama."

When Cuizi heard this, her body seemed to stiffen.

She didn't say anything, she just got up and turned her back to her body, and said: "Don't wait until it's so late every day, starting tomorrow, you can follow me to start a 7-day out-of-town practice."

This day Shikui didn't wait all night for the monster to pick her up.

In fact, she also knew that he would not appear again.But there is always a little expectation in my heart, as if at a certain moment, a miracle will suddenly happen.

But there would be no more of that ferocious monster who called her a useless woman.

On this day, she had a dream.

The monster with long purple hair in the dream has been walking in front, his strides are very big, as if he just met her at the beginning, waiting for her impatiently.

Shikui kept calling "Master Yasha", but he didn't look back.

Walking all the way to the beach, Shi Kui saw the dazzling sunlight, illuminating the entire picture, making it impossible for her to see the figure of Yasha in front of her clearly.

Then when he was about to reach the beach, he finally turned around, but Shi Kui couldn't see his face and expression clearly.

The monster stretched out its hand towards her as if inviting, then she froze for a moment, and wanted to reach out without hesitation.

But when she was about to touch his hand, she was accidentally thrown away, and she only heard a voice: "Sure enough, I still can't do this...Then, goodbye."

So... goodbye?

When she woke up, she felt that the corners of her eyes were wet.

Shi Kui touched the tears at the corners of her eyes, and looked at the red and white maiden costume and a bow and arrow like Cui Zi who were placed aside.

She walked over to pick up the clothes, and couldn't help but touch the bow and arrow with her hands.

Although I still can't let go, I still have to learn to face the future alone.

When she put on the priestess costume, her whole temperament seemed to change.

People walking in the village couldn't help turning their heads to look at her. Before, she had loose hair and poor clothes. Although this body was still very beautiful, when she changed into this maiden costume, That temperament is perfectly highlighted.

Although there were still immature marks on her face, she was no longer the girl rescued by Cuizi in the hearts of the villagers.

Cuizi was standing at the gate of the village. This time the trip would take a long distance, so the villagers flocked to the village gate to see him off.

Everyone scrambled to take out the portable food they had prepared and handed it to Cuizi, but she only took part of it.

Everyone looks... It seems that they all trust Cuizi [-]%.

Shikui noticed this, and Cuizi seemed to be in a good mood when she saw her expression, and said, "This is what I protect."

Being able to have the courage to struggle on the line of life and death, and duel with monsters... is all because of everyone who trusts her.

Then they left the village and began their long journey.It has to be said that traveling is a very hard work.

Cuizi and she are just ordinary humans in terms of physical fitness. Cuizi didn't say anything because she was used to the hardships of the journey. Although she was tired, her body had already adapted to the intensity.

Then Shi Kui couldn't take it anymore, she felt her legs hurt and her whole body was sore.

They have been on their way, and Cuizi will explain to her the knowledge about herbal medicine when they are in the mountains. After all, as witches who protect the villagers, they will take care of anyone who is injured.

Shi Kui is also studying this aspect very seriously. After all, before this, she was still a house girl who didn't distinguish between five grains. Apart from staying at home or staying in the hospital due to a sudden serious illness, she really didn't care about this aspect at all. do not understand.

But this day, when Cuizi pointed to a herbal medicine and explained its function, she suddenly said: "Come and try with a bow and arrow."

Shi Kui didn't understand what she meant, but he did it anyway.

Cuizi's eyes were a little cold, and she quickly took out an arrow from behind her.

She directs Tokioi's movements, and then tells her to shoot behind a tree.Although Shi Kui was not too clear about it, she felt a strange aura faintly. Could it be that there is a monster nearby?

She didn't think about it carefully. Although she had practiced the archery technique for a while, she had never actually fought it, so she couldn't tell whether it was accurate or not.Just as Cuizi said, he shot towards the dark place.

The arrow that broke through the wind seemed to have a faint white light, and then a scream was heard in an instant.

An ugly monster with a green face and fangs stumbled out of it. He seemed to know that there was no way to go, so he just buried his head, his face contorted from the pain.

And Shi Kui's attention was attracted by a familiar weapon in the monster's hand.

The author has something to say:

Sorry for the long wait everyone.

The state is not very good recently, I also encountered emotional problems, I adjusted my thinking, and I still have to write well, this is the most important thing.
