As soon as we entered Mount Hiei, it started to rain lightly.

The smell of soil rushed into the nostrils along with the water vapor.

Gu Yu climbed out of Sanriyue's arms, lifted the curtain of the car, and let the thin water vapor rush towards her face.

"So comfortable."

She couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

The stale breath that was suffocated on the road was also dissipated in between breaths.

The girl who woke up looked around in the carriage, and opened a small cabinet at the back of the carriage.Inside were neatly placed some travel necessities prepared by Abe Seimei for them.

Among them were a few coir raincoats—probably because of the possibility of bad weather.

After all, in this world where gods, spirits and monsters coexist, sudden changes in the weather are not uncommon.It is not uncommon for the well-informed residents of Heian capital to have seen such a scene of flying snow in summer.

Gu Yu got out of the carriage with the coir raincoat in his arms, and put the coir raincoat on the three people sitting outside the carriage one by one from left to right.

"You really don't want to come in?"

Even with a coir raincoat, it cannot be 100% rainproof.

The thin raindrops seeped in, sticking to the body and making it sticky and cold.

"no need."

Abe Taiming refused very simply, he didn't even look back - he didn't want to say anything more.

It's not that he has any prejudice against Gu Yu, it's just that he simply feels that there is no point in discussing this matter, one sentence is enough.

"It doesn't matter if it rains a little bit." Natsuo Toshiro still looked full of energy, "It's much better than being in the fire."

Compared with the high temperature that seems to be burned out, this coolness can be said to be comfortable.

"How can it be compared!"

One is cold and the other is hot, how can it be compared.

"Master, don't worry about us, this is enough." Horikawa Kunihiro also said with a smile, "If everyone is in the car, it will be troublesome if the enemy comes to attack. We are here to deal with the detected enemies as soon as possible. .”

He couldn't be more familiar with the enemy's methods all the time.

This method of attacking secretly is also his forte.

Wakizawa Horikawa Kunihiro.

Compared with open and aboveboard battles, he is better at dark fighting methods such as assassination.Although no matter what era it is in, this is a means to be hated and reviled by others, but it can always achieve the goal most efficiently.But just like many bad habits that have been handed down, no matter how taboo they are, they never disappear.

He doesn't think there's anything wrong with this, on the contrary, because he also exists like this, he can understand the enemy's thoughts more clearly, and thus better fulfill his responsibility as a sword.

Then night fell.

They found a large leeward rock and stopped the ox cart, preparing to spend the night.The intermittent light rain was still falling, and the three people who were originally outside the carriage also hid in the carriage.

Fortunately, this is a big car specially prepared by Abe Seimei for them. Horikawa and Nanao are skinny teenagers, so even if there are 5 people sitting in the car, the car will not be crowded.

The temperature in the mountains is relatively low, and it rained for another day, so it was cold and cold in the bullock cart.

At this time, there were no towels, so they could only wipe off their wet bodies with a rag, and then rely on the heat from the small stove in the middle to evaporate the water vapor on their bodies.

Although the temperature at that point can only be said to be warm, and there is still some distance from 'hot', it is still much better than nothing.

Gu Yu sat in the furthest place from the fire, wearing a coat that could barely cover her whole body, leaving room for the few people who were drenched by the rain.

It was raining and cool, and she was not warm.But compared to the wet three, she is much better - anyway, she still has Sanriyue, so go hug him when it's really cold.

Body temperature plus those two big sleeves are enough.

In the early spring when there was nothing, they came here like this.

Those memories that were thought to have been blurred are still so fresh.

The two wakizashi teenagers gathered by the fire were discussing tonight's vigil and tomorrow's itinerary.

Nanao Toshiro said with Horikawa Kunihiro next to him:

"Don't move forward tomorrow, if you go further in, you will be at the mountainside"

"Well, then I'll go..."

"I'll go, you stay here—in terms of combat experience, you are much richer than me." Although as a sword, I don't think I will lose to other swords, but as a collection of daimyo, in terms of the number of battles A little bit weaker.

After all... those big names collect them, most of the time they don't want to use them to fight.It's not that there is any dissatisfaction, after all, I have always been cherished.

But as a knife, compared to being a treasure in the room, I still want to fight for the master who really loves me.

The boy with big watery eyes glanced quietly at the girl who was huddled in a corner with her clothes on, wondering what she was thinking.

Lighted only by a small stove, the interior was actually quite dark, but that didn't bother him.He could still see everyone in the carriage clearly.

The girl with slender limbs and a body that looked like a dagger was wrapped in her new clothes like a quilt.Only one face was exposed outside, and the skin color was exceptionally white due to the dark fabric... Even because of the lower temperature, it was faintly blue.

Such a complexion does not appear on healthy people.

His current master was not as wise or brave as the big men he had seen before, nor did he have the proud appearance like those noble women.

But apart from his family, what he likes the most is her - besides loving and respecting his master, she is also like a relative.

The same goes for the other brothers, including the skeleton who is always expressionless.

Don't look at him saying nothing, and he has never had a good face towards his master, but the reason why he chose to leave his master regardless to become stronger is also to protect her better.

In fact, he thought so too... But we can't let everyone go.When the brothers came back, it was his turn.

Although a bit reluctant, but in order to become stronger and better protect her...he will work hard to endure.

When Cattail was quietly looking at Gu Yu, Gu Yu suddenly turned his head as if he had noticed something, and collided with his gaze.

The girl frowned, smiled and waved to him.

"?"

Curiously, the young man came to Gu Yu's side, and then saw her arms wrapped in clothes move, and then took out a red sugar ball wrapped in a plastic bag.

"Hush...there's only one left, don't tell anyone else."

This was a gift given to her by the store when she went to buy dim sum last time. She said it was a new product for people to try, so she put it in her pocket at that time.

If it hadn't fallen out of her pocket when she was changing clothes, she wouldn't have thought of it.

Originally, she wanted to eat it by herself to try the taste, but when she saw Cattail sitting by the stove, she seemed a little lonely, so she decided to give him the candy.

Can't remember which book I read, sugar can have a positive effect on people's mood...so give it to him.

This time he came out without a brother by his side, so he would feel lonely too.

——It would be nice if it was a candy that was delicious enough to make people feel happy.

The boy with big eyes blinked.It seemed that there was a moment of Rage God, and then he didn't know where he hid the candy—it was just a flip of his hand.

Is this some kind of magic trick?

Gu Yu opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"So this is our little secret?"

While Gu Yu was still looking at him up and down, guessing where he received the candy, the boy smiled and stuck it in front of her.

"Yes."

Gu Yu nodded, and then smiled unconsciously.

The two met head to head, laughing very happily under the eyes of others who don't know why - just like little friends who did a prank together but were not discovered.

At midnight, the light rain that had been falling for nearly a day finally stopped.

Catao Toshiro, who was in charge of keeping watch in the middle of the night, put on the clothes Gu Yu gave him, and left the relatively warm compartment to watch the night outside.As for Gu Yu, after making sure that everyone was assigned a piece of clothing, she wrapped up the last two pieces of clothing and fell asleep leaning on Sanri Yuezong.

Sleep is the best rest, perhaps because she is preparing for battle after battle, she sleeps fast and steadily most of the time.Unless there are special circumstances, she will fall asleep quickly when it is time for her to sleep.

Today is no exception.

Then she had the dream of the child again.

It's just that what I dreamed this time is no longer a mountain forest, but a place that looks like a shrine and a house.

This is a large house on the edge of a huge cave. Although some places look like shrines, the overall architectural style is different from the buildings in Heianjing.

"Don't... hate... don't come here!"

She heard the boy's voice of resistance.Without the nasal voice that was coquettish to her in the past, the boy's voice was particularly harsh.

Gu Yu hurriedly ran towards the direction of the sound.

"I do not want!"

"Woo...why haven't you found me yet..."

The boy's crying voice was getting farther and farther away, and finally could not be heard anymore.

Gu Yu's footsteps stopped at the entrance of the dark cave.

The pitch-black cave with no light and no sound was like a huge mouth leading to the abyss, which could swallow anything that appeared in front of him at any time.

The real Gu Yu suddenly opened his eyes.
