There was a rustling sound in the grass, as if a human was approaching here

Qing Xiao stopped flipping through the book, immediately put the book back in the storage rack, jumped off the rock and pulled out Jiuyue.

After so many days in the wild, they didn't meet a human being, they were all monsters, although they all turned into ghosts under the sword.

But at this moment, Qing Xiao was already ready to fight the monster.

Asahiba quickly picked up the boy and hid behind the stone, so as not to be discovered by the monster and take her as a hostage to threaten the adult.

Soon, under Qing Xiao's vigilant eyes, a man in linen clothes with a bow and arrow on his back came out from the bushes.

The man wanted to wash his prey by the stream, but he didn't seem to expect to see other people. He immediately stopped and took a step back into the grass vigilantly.

The girl with the sword stood on the boulder, looking down at him from a height. The clothes on her were bright and strange, a style that she had never seen before.

He has been making a living in the wild all year round, and it is thanks to his cautious character that he can live safely until now.Seeing Qing Xiao's strangeness, the hunter did not rush forward, but drew out his dagger, and slowly backed away, trying to increase the distance.

Um?knife?The girl stared at the weapon in his hand, the piercing silver light hinted at the unusualness of this weapon.

Qing Xiao immediately recognized that it was obviously a piece of iron. Her knowledge told herself that iron is a very valuable item in this era, but this man's clothes are shabby, so how could he be carrying a piece of iron?

Qing Xiao thought about it, unless he obtained it by abnormal means.

She heard from Ma Zhiye that thieves are rampant in the wild in this world... Could it be that this is a robber?At this time, Qing Xiao suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood in the air.

With a decision in his heart, a flame ignited, Qing Xiao mentioned Jiuyue jumped off the rock, and was going to take the man down for questioning.

Unexpectedly, the first moment this man saw Jiuyue, he prostrated himself on the ground without hesitation, and saluted her very respectfully.

"I didn't know that Lord Onmyoji was in front of me, but I didn't know the identity of Lord just now, what a disrespect, please forgive the villain's life, if you have orders, please speak up."

Qing Xiao, who was about to swing the sword over, stopped in place, feeling a little embarrassed.

Do you want to surrender so fast brother, the cannon fodder in Long Aotian is not as fast as you!

The opponent surrendered too quickly, Qing Xiao still did not let go of his vigilance and asked about the situation around him.

But this man didn't seem to pretend to surrender. He knew everything about Qing Xiao's problems, and even explained to her all his origins and purposes. Even from his skilled tone, Qing Xiao could tell It's not the first time this man has answered these questions.

The man is a hunter from a nearby village, and the day of Obon is approaching.

In order to make a living, he needs to hunt a few more prey before the festival, and he has not returned to the village for more than ten days now.

"The day of the Yu Lan Basin? Oh, oh, ghost festival, what's the matter with ghost festival?" Qing Xiao asked.

Orion immediately said: "Yes, every July and a half is the festival celebrated by the monsters. The witch said that during this period, the strength of the monsters has increased much more than usual, and their temperament is fierce. Most of the human beings in the wild have no bones left. There are even big monsters wantonly hunting and killing humans at this time, so in order to protect themselves, the village prohibits everyone from going out."

Saying so, the hunter took out the amulet hanging around his neck.

"Even now, the number of monsters is gradually increasing. Miko-sama specially gave me a talisman. If I encounter a monster, it will become hot and let me escape early. This is the reason why I can survive until now."

Qing Xiao glanced at the amulet. It was a triangular piece of wood with a strange logo engraved on it. The pattern was rough and dyed with cinnabar. On the surface, it looked like a rough piece of wood. Her strange sixth Feeling told Qing Xiao that there was a strange aura on this wooden sign.

It seems that the wooden sign is the main reason why she is not regarded as a monster.

Asanoba looked at the amulet enviously. If she had such a sacred thing, the boy would not be killed by the monster that night. However, she changed her mind, maybe she would not meet an adult in this way.

Qing Xiao wanted to study this amulet. She had acquired spiritual power for a very short time, and she hadn't seen anything like a spell yet, but she didn't bring it up hastily. Probably not willingly.

Not liking to take advantage of others, Qing Xiao changed the subject and asked, "Do you know how many villages there are near here?"

The hunter quickly said, "I know of seven villages around this mountain."

It was a little more than she thought, Qing Xiao was a little surprised, and asked again: "What about the shrine?" Judging from the amulet, there is a shrine in his village.

"My lord, if you are talking about the shrine that blesses the village, there is no other lord other than my village, and there is a temple in a village far away across the river."

"Other villages are mostly blessed by the adults of these two shrines and temples. My prey is mainly enshrined in the priestesses of the shrines."

It turned out to be the source of rations, no wonder he was given an amulet, Qing Xiao nodded.

From this point of view, although there are many ghosts and ghosts in this place, there are also many people with spiritual powers. Fortunately, she has a system and Jiuyue. Otherwise, if she enters this place rashly, her pocket watch is still broken. She only has spiritual power, and she is really going to die. .

Thinking of this, Qing Xiao made a note in the little notebook in her heart.

When I go back, I must go to the office to hate people: how do you work, just thinking about making her not miss the exam, and sending her to such a dangerous place, the pocket watch is still broken? !

Even if they knew of Jiuyue's existence and didn't worry about her incapacity to protect herself, Qing Xiao was still very angry about being fooled around.

After asking about the basic information, Qing Xiao beckoned Ma Zhiye to come out.

After confirming that the hunter's village is exactly where Asahiba wanted to go, Qing Xiao asked him if he could take the trouble to lead the way, and she would pay a suitable reward.

Hearing this request, the hunter was surprised for a moment before simply agreeing.

In the past, Master Onmyoji would occasionally pass by. This was not the first time he had heard this request, but no one had ever paid him.

Looking at it this way, this young adult is really strange.

Before going back, the hunter dragged out the wild boar he had hunted before from the grass, which was the source of the bloody smell Qing Xiao smelled. He came here intending to clean up the prey before taking it away, but he did not expect to meet a strange adult.

They also happened to go back together, and having this adult by his side made him feel at ease, and he could also receive extra rewards, which made the hunter very grateful to Qing Xiao.

But the hunter didn't pay attention. When this 'adult' saw the circle of pheasants hanging on his body, envy and jealousy appeared in his eyes.

The same is human, and when others casually pick up a bunch of prey, she doesn't have a single hair.

For fried chicken, no, for information, Qing Xiao continued to get close to the hunter, took out a glove box by the way, and helped him put wild boar into his inventory.

The hunter's eyes widened. He had never seen the ability to make objects disappear out of thin air. Even the most powerful witch needed the help of the villagers to take away the prey.

"Ten, thank you very much, my lord!"

This person was grateful and wanted to kneel down, but was quickly pulled up by the girl's eyesight. It's no wonder that the people are simple and peaceful, and they are pulled out by the roadside so that no one can take a peek. What's wrong with kneeling down without saying anything.

If she is to be kneeled down like this again, she will lose ten years of life!

Qing Xiao was so strong that he easily pulled the man to stand up. The hunter became even more uneasy. He had never seen an adult who behaved like this, and immediately he didn't even dare to take the prey: "If you don't mind, sir, please let me I offer you the wild boar."

"No, you stand still, then kneel and I'll tie your legs up!" Qing Xiao firmly refused, the wild pork was hard and coquettish, it was unpalatable to death, besides, she asked someone to lead the way and took other people's prey, how could she have any face when she went back? To Jiangdong's elders.

The hunter trembled, but this tone was the tone those adults should use to him. Being threatened like this, he was quite relieved.

Then he respectfully said: "But your lord condescends to transport pork for me and protect my safety. Please let me worship you, otherwise I will not feel at ease."

Did you take your medicine?Still shaking M?Don't you feel uncomfortable if you don't take a beating?Qing Xiao looked at this person speechlessly, it seemed that she underestimated the daily life of ordinary civilians in this era.

A dignified seven-foot man, who can carry a wild boar, is more skilled at kneeling than eating, he is simply not human.

She suddenly remembered a sentence she once saw.

'In times like these, there are no real people, only nobles and pigs'

Just when she met Ma Zhiye and this hunter, she suddenly had a deep understanding of this sentence.

After a stalemate for a while, the girl's face was as dark as ice and snow, and she let the hunter take the wild boar back.

But he did not relax his vigilance at all, noticing that Qing Xiao's eyes fell on him, he immediately offered the bunch of pheasants.

"My lord, if these are not enough, please ask me to hunt another prey for you."

Qing Xiao: "..." She wanted to hit someone.

Qing Xiao: "I don't need your stuff, take your own chicken back."

Mad!

Finally, the hunter sighed: "My lord, if you can't accept these things, I will have no peace in my heart."

"why?"

He raised his head boldly and found the girl was bewildered, and boldly said: "Because, I have never seen an adult who does not take the prey from me."

"........."

The hunter bowed deeply and held up the pheasant: "So please be sure to accept this meager offering."

Qing Xiao loses her temper.

In the end, the hunter gave her all six pheasants on his body, and was very ashamed that the meat of these pheasants was not as good as a wild boar's hind leg, and he took advantage of it.

He was moved and said, compared to those adults who made him serve meat and drove him to hunt in the wild, this young adult is really kind.

Qing Xiao twitched the corners of her mouth and turned her head away, pretending not to see, the simple ancient people always made her conscience very tormented.

The hunter skillfully led the two of them along the path hidden in the forest through the forest and into the gentle plain.

That night, Qing Xiao finally ate the fried chicken he had been longing for. Although there was no egg, flour and bread crumbs, even the meat with only a little seasoning could kill the compressed biscuit mixed with water in seconds.

It's a pity that the ancient people didn't think so. Although the extravagant frying made the hunter dumbfounded, Qing Xiao still heard the boy whispering to the man.

"Another food made by grown-ups is more delicious."

Compressed biscuits are so sweet that they taste better?Could it be that there is no sugar now?She remembered that there seemed to be something called caramel in ancient times, but it was still not as good as refined cane sugar, the girl thought as she gnawed on the fried chicken.

Someone led the way faster, and after being fed with rich-calorie fried chicken and compressed biscuits, the boy recovered from his injuries very quickly. He was able to walk on his own and keep up with the speed of several people without falling behind. His skinny arms felt a little fleshy. The face also rounded up.

Qing Xiao can already see the handsome future appearance from the child's facial features.

Take another look at Ma Zhiye. Although the skirt is clothed with hairpins, it is hard to hide his beauty. Considering the genetic factors, maybe he will grow up to be a handsome guy in the future.

The author has something to say: the ancient times of neon were actually quite miserable, if you do some research.

But this article is not based on textual research, it is written blindly, anyway, there are monsters, so don’t pursue realism
