the world

Chapter 40

There is no means of transportation, and the road is only less than halfway.

Ghost Dance Tsuji Wumi and Taki Wakaba didn't speak, Ma'er's soul had already ascended to heaven, as if staring at them from above.

Guiwu Tsuji Wumi shut his mouth obediently because he knew that he had done something wrong.Taki Wakaba didn't know where to start, so he criticized Gui Wu Tsuji for being miserable. He was already in such a miserable state, so if he didn't criticize, he thought it was outrageous.

"Have your legs grown well?" Taki Wakaba sighed, and decided to put solving the problem first.

"It hasn't grown well below the knee, but everything else is fine. It should be... there is no material?"

Onimai Tsuji used the word material, which made Taki Wakaba feel slightly uncomfortable, because this word reminded her of "human body".If Onimai Tsuji is thinking the same as Taki Wakaba, then it means that Onimai Tsuji's body tells him that "eating people can repair his body".

"...you don't feel pain?"

"To be honest, it doesn't hurt that much, and it's not even as painful as when I was bedridden."

"Let's rest here now, and we'll start again after the sun goes down. This place is not far from the village that was looted when we came here. We'll go there to rectify at night and see if we can borrow a horse."

"Aren't you angry?" Guiwu Tsuji Wucan was silent for a while, and then asked.

His tone sounds a little cautious, which is really rare.

"I'm not angry, at most it's because the journey is a little troublesome, not to the point of being angry."

"I seem to have only seen you angry once."

That is, Taki Ruoye became angry when faced with the bandit's looting.

"Is it that time? Yes, I do rarely show anger, but generally such people are terrible when they get angry."

The first time Taki Ruoye was hit by anger was because Xiao Huang's leg was broken by his younger brother, and the second time was because his parents wanted to sell him.If during that time, in my childhood, without the company of Xiao Huang, what kind of person would I have become?It was Xiao Huang who made her feel love and warmth. If there was no Xiao Huang, she would have become a villain after being favored by the stars.

"But you looked handsome when you were angry last time, so that's the right thing to do."

"I don't want to save people who will bring disaster and pain to others. I want to save people. But sometimes saving one person can save several people, and killing one person can save several people."

"You look like a real witch."

Even when killing people, he still has the heart of saving people in his heart, and everything Taki Wakaba has done so far is in harmony with words and deeds.

"I...? I told you back then that I didn't enter the shrine with faith. I just made a move that was worthy of my heart."

"I don't know what the witch is going to do, but I feel that the witch should be like you."

"But I think you said this out of preference." Taki Ruoye smiled.

"You said that you have always wanted to be number one in the world, and now you have achieved it. As long as Emperor Masahiro's edict reaches the Jingu, you will be the top of the Jingu's power, and you can even be said to be the top of the entire Shinto religion... What do you want to do then?"

"Isn't this what we said earlier?"

Seeing Taki Wakaba smiling, Guiwu Tsuji Wuyan laughed too. He knew what Taki Wakaba was talking about.

Taki Wakaba continued, "Look for the blue Bana flower with you."

The two waited on the side of the road until it was dark, but as Kiwu Tsuji said, he lacked "materials", the parts below the knees had not grown well, and he was still unable to walk.

But it would be dangerous to just throw Kiwu Tsuji on the side of the road, so Taki Wakaba carried Kiwu Tsuji on his back and walked forward.Gui Wu Tsuji Wu Mi was quite resistant, but the current situation did not allow him to resist.

"...You are quite strong."

Taki Wakaba's wrist strength was recognized by General You, and she didn't feel how heavy he was when she was carrying Oni Wu Tsuji.

"It's just a short distance, and it will be fine when we reach the village in front of us."

Taki Ruoye walked towards the low-lying place at the foot of the mountain, and slowly saw someone's house. The gate of the village still had traces of being burned, and it should be the village that was looted when he came.

Fortunately, Taki Ruoye saw a few horses in the village, which should be the horses of bandits, and they were taken in by the village.

The man at the door saw Taki Wakaba approaching with Oni Wu Tsuji Mumi on his back, and walked over. A woman recognized Taki Wakaba's face and exclaimed.

"Master Miko?! Why are you here?"

"Something happened to me on the way back to the shrine. The horse died, and my companion was injured and couldn't walk. Can you lend me a horse? After that, the shrine will return it several times over."

"Of course it's no problem, but it's getting so late, Miko-sama should rest for the night first. There also happens to be a doctor in the village, so I'll take a look at it for this lord."

"Thank you for your kindness, but we are in a hurry and are leaving now."

If you rest for one night, you will still not be able to hurry when the sun comes out tomorrow morning.

"Ruo Ye?"

The crowd gathered more, and a woman squeezed into the crowd and let out a surprised cry, "So you are the witch who saved everyone?!"

The voice was also very familiar. Taki Ruoye looked at it and found it was Hong, "Hong? Do you live here?"

Hong saw Oni Wu Tsuji Mumi on Taki Wakaba's back again, and her expression twisted a bit, as if she found it difficult to accept this combination, "...how should I say it, I'll talk to you later, you You want a horse, right? I'll take you to lead the horse."

"Red! Only the village head has the right to dispose of that horse. Why do you dispose of it if you want?!" The man on the side scolded, "Besides, you are not considered a member of our village, don't you look down on this rural place? Are you going to Ping An Jing to live your happy life? You are here to take your sister away today, it would be better if you left, and you are still talking big in front of others. "

"This is the shrine maiden from the Jingu. You don't know, but I still know. The maiden in front of you is a relative of Gozen, and has the surname 'Taki'. We can lend her the horse, which is ours. It's an honor." Hong responded without showing any timidity.

Looking at Hong with sharp teeth and sharp mouth, Taki Wakaba found it quite interesting.

When she first entered Kimai Tsuji's mansion as a maid, Hong won her over.I hope that Taki Wakaba, who looks honest and well-behaved, can exchange news with her, help each other, and walk out of Onimai Tsuji's mansion together.She also taught Taki Wakaba that the secret to surviving under Oni Wu Tsuji Musai is to keep his duty and never do anything beyond his duty.

It can be seen that the current red is much bolder.

"You know her?" Gui Wu Tsuji obviously didn't remember the maid who once served her.

"She is Hong, and she used to be a maid in your mansion. When I was about to leave your mansion, I asked you to let a maid out, and it was her."

"You should have a good relationship with her, right?" Ghost Mai Tsuji inferred.

"She's a good girl." Taki Ruoye gave her a brief evaluation.

Hong ignored the man and the crowd of onlookers, and led Taki Wakaba to the stable.

When there were fewer people around, Hong turned around, leaned against the stable, and asked Taki Ruoye: "I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing? Are you okay? Why are you with him?"

From Hong's series of questions, Taki Wakaba can feel Hong's concern for her, "It's all going well, I am now the young palace secretary of Jingu, and because of some circumstances, Kimai Tsuji sent me back, how about you? "

"I used to live in this village, but I didn't want to stay here forever, so I went to Heianjing to work. Thanks to you, after I left there, I went to work as a maid in other places. Gentle, I have been working for several years, and he promoted me. I also bought a residence in Heianjing with the money I saved over the years. I can finally bring my younger sister to Heianjing to live together." Speaking of Here, Hong couldn't help showing a smile, "I'm here to take my sister away today, and I will leave here with my sister tomorrow morning."

"Congratulations, you got your wish."

"No, it's all thanks to you. Get out of here quickly. Fortunately, I am here today. If you listen to the villagers, it may not be safe to stay overnight." Hong untied a horse and signaled to Taki Wakaba leave now.

"why?"

"...If it's fake, then everything is fine. If what I guess is true, then it's safest for you not to know." Hong didn't say much, she glanced at the immobile Oni Wu Tsuji turned his gaze to Taki Wakaba again, "Can you ride a horse?"

"Probably." Although he has never operated it in the field, Taki Wakaba has watched Oni Wu Tsuji ride a horse for a long time, and he knows the essentials of riding a horse.Taki Wakaba's learning ability has always been very strong, and she can do it if she is asked to.

"That's good." Hong breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's go."

Taki Ruoye didn't ask any more questions, she got on the horse, Guiwu Tsuji Wucan was supported by Hong and sat behind Taki Ruoye, Taki Ruoye said to Hong, "Thank you very much."

"You're welcome. I'm not a warm-hearted person. I just want to repay your previous kindness. And...my sister is among the people you saved."

Under Taki Ruoye's command, the horse ran towards the gate of the village, preparing to return to the main road.

However, the door was blocked.

The man who was arguing with Hong held a hatchet in his hand and stood guardedly at the door with several other men.

"What are you doing?" Taki Ruoye's eyes became sharp.

After seeing Taki Ruoye being stopped, Hong also hurried to Taki Ruoye, "He is the son of the village chief. Almost all the men in the village died because of that looting, and there are only a few men left gone."

"I want to ask this witch, why did you show up at this time and take away a horse from our village? Where were you when our village was looted? Since you have divine power, why didn't you save us? ?”
