[Inuyasha] Spider Silk

The other party did not accept the jade fragments of the four souls in her hand.

Saori didn't feel discouraged when her first courtship ended in failure.Although it was only for a short moment, Yin Dao's expression changed slightly, which was enough to show that the other party was not completely indifferent.

As long as you persevere, one day the other party will be moved by her kindness, and then she can...

……

...cough, stop.

Saori patted her cheek and looked around carefully.The surrounding villagers didn't seem to notice what she was thinking just now. The stalls were busy setting up stalls, and the bargainers were busy haggling. A lot of dust on dirt roads.

"Xiao Saori came really early today."

The old woman selling radishes on the roadside greeted her with a smile.

The village at the foot of the mountain has a market every other week. Passing merchants will gather at the well in the center of the village, and villagers will sell their surplus crops on the roadside.

Although the conditions are simple and the materials and information that can be exchanged are very limited, the small market has a lively atmosphere. Apart from the festivals that pray for good weather throughout the year, it is one of the few recreational activities in this village.

Yarn was picking and picking at various stalls, and there was one more person in the family... No, monster, naturally she needed to buy a lot of things. She bought a strong and exquisite wooden basin from the best carpenter, and picked another one. Some daily life and toiletries.

She was lucky today. The merchants who fled the war in the Kinki area passed by the village and brought a lot of rare goods.She bought a set of men's kimonos from the merchant. The texture and pattern of the fabric were not the top-quality products that can be seen in this remote mountain village. Remuneration for sorcerers.

Since she usually saves a lot of money, after buying these things, Saori still has some savings in her hands.

She carried the bulging package on her back, and the women who often gathered by the well to wash clothes winked and laughed at her: "Xiao Shazhi seems to have a family."

Unlike the noble ruling class, the marriage and funeral of the common people are not bound by rules and regulations, and no formal ceremony is required. A man and a woman only need to be recognized and blessed by others to be considered a married couple.

When the weather is warmer, single men and women in the village will have fellowship-like activities. The so-called fellowship is nothing more than gathering around the campfire to drink and dance. The following pictures cannot be described.

People in this era think that kind of joy in the sky and sitting on the ground is quite natural.

Unable to resist the enthusiastic invitation of the village women, Saori had also participated in this simple and simple fellowship before, sitting opposite the burning bonfire until dawn, purely as a night of watching the Milky Way.

Yes, galaxy.There is no industrial pollution in the night sky in this era. Although there is no Internet or toilets, if you want to take a hot bath, you have to travel thousands of miles to fetch water from the river. If you are not careful, you will suffer from various diseases, but only at night, the sky is covered. The light of the stars shone brightly, and the splendid and stretching Milky Way was a magnificent scenery that she had never seen in her previous life.

Life in the Warring States Period was either extremely monotonous or extremely thrilling.She gets up every day, washes up, goes out to hunt, beats up evil monsters and thieves who block the way, goes home to sleep when it gets dark, and goes to the village market where the market opens. Time goes down the mountain to exchange for supplies, and the days are like a pendulum that repeats precisely. The scenery she sees when she goes out and returns home every day will not change a bit.

Saori was carrying the package on her back, and her buoyant mood swelled in her chest. She picked the nearest path and walked quickly through the familiar forest, ignoring obstacles, quickly jumping across the tree trunks, sliding down the moss-stained rocks, three Take two steps at a time and run up the hillside swaying with green bamboos.

Seeing the huge shadow hovering outside the fence, she finally remembered belatedly that she seemed to have forgotten one very important thing, that is, since she picked up the jade fragments with strange luster, the monsters in this mountain suddenly changed too much.

"... Fragments!" The hill-like long-haired spider opened its fangs and let out a deafening roar from its abdominal cavity, "Hand over the fragments of the jade of the four souls!!"

Sha Zhi threw the package into the grass, turned around and ran in the opposite direction, and the giant spider demon chased after him, rumbling like thunder, crushing a bamboo forest where it passed.

The foul-smelling wind blew in, Saori kicked her feet, and jumped onto the bamboo. The sticky white spider silk splashed to the place where she was originally standing. Going down, the clods wrapped in venom bubbled strangely.

"Don't try to run!"

Multiple voices roared in unison, several eyes of the giant spider demon showed a fierce light, and the eight legs covered with long hair jumped forward, and the sharp fangs instantly tore the green bamboo where she landed.

Dust was flying, gravel and bamboo knots were flying everywhere, Yarn turned over and jumped into the air, drew out the long knife at her waist, and cut off its tentacles and fangs at the moment the spider demon raised its head.

Heart-piercing screams pierced the sky, the long-haired spider demon propped up his front half in pain, the yarn fell back to the ground, the blade in his hand turned, pierced the spider demon's jaw from bottom to top, and followed it A sudden stroke of the abdominal cavity, as if shelling a lobster, cut open the body under the hard carapace longitudinally.

Before the huge corpse fell down, Saori quickly rolled to the side.

Unexpectedly, the sudden change happened at this moment. Countless sticky spider silks suddenly shot out from the cracked body of the spider demon, covering the sky and covering the ground densely. Drenched all over the face.

The ground under her feet radiated the sound of corrosion, the discolored soil softened, and the places splashed by the spider demon's venom almost immediately lost all grass. Fortunately, she didn't explode and die in front of her house, otherwise it would be fine, not to mention yes The fence is broken, and the roof has to be scrapped directly.

Shazhi put the knife back into its sheath and wiped the venom that was still dripping down her face. The smell was very sour, as if she had been soaked in a sauerkraut jar for 50 years and then thrown into a cesspit.

...The result is still careless, obviously before so careful to avoid the venom.

The only good news is that she threw the package into the grass near the house before the battle.

Saori stood on the spot, hesitating for a while, the corpse bitten by the giant spider is placed here, which is a straightforward threat to other monsters, and the people in the room should not have to worry about being attacked again for the time being , she can still go to the river to wash clothes first.

Thinking of how frightened the people who stayed in the house might be, Saori couldn't help speeding up her pace.

If she had known that she would not have wasted so much time in the market, Saori blamed herself in her heart, how dangerous the Warring States Period was, she did not know how to let the injured stay alone—even though this The wounded patient is also a monster in human skin...but his face is beautiful.

After taking a combat bath by the river, Saori hurried home.

"Yin Dao—" She opened the wooden door with a slam, and met the man with an inexplicably strange expression, "Are you alright?"

The furnishings in the house remained the same as they were before she left, including storage boxes, cabinets, and water tanks, but the person sitting by the fireside waiting for her to come back was different.Yindao was wearing her winter coat, her face was as pale as yesterday, the slanted sunlight came in from the window, the man's quiet expression had a beauty different from that of night in the daytime light, filled with the warm light like jade.

He looked her up and down carefully: "You don't seem to be injured."

Saori was overwhelmed with emotion.

She quickly waved her hand: "I've been used to it for a long time, monsters of that level can't hurt me."

Yin Dao responded softly: "Really."

He said in a complimenting tone: "Miss Saori is very strong, and she has no weaknesses at all."

A strange temperature suddenly rushed to the cheeks of the heart, and Saori held the scabbard at her waist, as if hoping that the cold scabbard would lower her body temperature.

"...Well, it's okay." She said vaguely, "Those feudal superstitions don't work on me, but I will still get hurt like ordinary people. Practice makes perfect."

The other party's eyes kept falling on her. In order to avoid the gaze that would make her heart pound, Saori drew out the knife, pressed the tip of the knife on the pulp of her index finger, and stroked lightly.

"look--"

The dark red blood oozed out and dripped to the ground along the arc of the fingertips.

"I bleed when I get cut by a knife."

Saori stretched out her hand and gestured to the other party, but her bloody fingers were caught by a warm palm, Yin Dao lightly frowned, her eyes seemed to be worried about her: "Never mind, Miss Saori, please don't be so casual." hurt oneself."

A strange temperature rushed up along the place where the skin touched, and the heart seemed to stop beating for a moment. Saori raised her head and found that the two were very close at the moment.

Calm down, she told herself from the bottom of her heart, don't be dazzled by the beauty, and do something disrespectful to the beauty.

But... woo woo, his hair looks so soft and beautiful, his eyelashes are so long, his skin is so smooth, his Adam's apple and collarbone, and even his chest, which is not particularly burly but has very smooth and firm muscles, is also beautiful. I really want to be touched...

No way, Saori!She closed her eyes suddenly, and naturally missed the look in Yin Dao's eyes.

"Miss Saori's saber, can I have a look?"

It doesn't matter if you let her take off her clothes... Ah, no.

Saori opened her eyes and took off the long knife from her waist.

As the young master of Renjian Castle, Yin Dao has been trained by samurai since he was a child. It is natural and reasonable to be interested in samurai swords.

Sitting by the fireside, the man put the knife on his knees and gently pushed the knife out of its sheath.The man's handsome and elegant eyebrows were reflected on the blade that had just killed the monster, except that it looked a little sharper than ordinary knives, there was nothing special about it.

Facing the sunlight, the man stroked the blade, and carefully checked her knife over and over again.

"...It's a good knife." Yin Dao said lightly, closing the scabbard.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the other party doesn't seem to get the answer he wants.

Saori took the knife, and when Yindao raised his eyes to look over again, the cold and gloomy feeling on his body had disappeared.

"I brought you something back."

She finally remembered what she had been doing before, and hurriedly took the package into the house and spread it out by the fireside.

"This will be your washbasin, washbasin, towel, handkerchief, toothbrush, comb, ah, yes, and this dress from now on." Saori shook off the soft kimono excitedly, the light purple fabric blooming like a satsuki moon It is as beautiful and elegant as wisteria flowers, but not too gorgeous and exaggerated, with soft colors flowing in the sunlight, "You will look good when you wear it."

"……thanks."

The exhaustion from working in the market all morning seemed to have evaporated in an instant, turning into some kind of soft emotion that seemed to be called satisfaction.

It turned out that this is the case, Saori sighed in his heart, is this the happiness of his wife and children on the kang.

Saori held all the things she bought into Yin Dao's arms, and said seriously: "If you need anything else, just tell me. Don't look at me like this, I have actually saved a lot of money over the years. "

She suddenly became full of pride, and her words suddenly increased.

The person on the opposite side didn't interrupt her. As a monster, she was really well-educated.

Saori thought of something, and took out the fragments of the Jade of the Four Souls from her pocket: "I forgot to tell you before, I don't know why this thing is so popular with monsters. Sorry, the spider demon today may be attracted by this fragment of."

Seeing that he liked it, she wanted to give it to him as soon as she got excited, completely forgetting the potential hidden dangers.

Hey, having said that, the other party will like this piece, is it also because it is a monster?

Just like catnip is to cats, is this seemingly ordinary piece like mint to monsters?

"It's not Miss Saori's fault." Yin Dao comforted her with a very sincere tone.

Immediately, he changed the subject:

"Since this thing is so dangerous, why does Miss Saori keep it with her?"

"This one, speaking of it, I originally wanted to sell it for money." Saori confessed honestly, "But later I found out that it can talk, so I stayed for the time being."

"..."

Yin Dao was silent for a moment: "Can you talk?"

His expression was slightly condensed, and his voice seemed to be low: "Miss Saori, can you understand what it is saying?"

"Yes, but it's all nonsense nonsense that makes people make wishes all day long." Saori didn't care.

"... Then, why didn't you make a wish?" Yin Dao's voice was as soft as a raving.

Saori glanced at him, and suddenly pressed his shoulder seriously: "Listen to me."

"This kind of thing looks like a trick of the rivers and lakes. You must not be fooled. Make a wish? There is no good thing in this world. Besides, everything pays attention to equal exchange. Think about it, what is this four souls?" Yu, help me realize my wish, what good will it do? It doesn't sound right."

"..."

Yin Dao didn't make a sound for a long time.

"...Equivalent exchange?"

Saori: "Yes, this is called the principle of alchemy."

"..."

Saori: Man can conquer nature!Great materialism!Get rid of feudal superstition! 【Bushi
