After the death of Maruko's mother, Maruko did not bury her, but cremated her. This was very rare in the Heianjing period, because deeply influenced by the culture of the Tang Dynasty, she highly respected the Confucian thought of "putting into the soil for peace" , and cremation is a stopgap measure in rare cases.

And compared to digging a pit to bury people, the cremation process is more difficult for a child like Wanzi.

The Sword Fusangshen saw that Wanzi first found some firewood, and then realized that cremation could not be carried out in the village. After busying for a long time, they found some wood, made a simple shelf, and put her mother's body on it , using all the strength in his body to drag and move out of the village.

During the whole process, I didn't cry or speak, and I didn't ask other adults in the village for help. I just did my own thing without saying a word.

They really couldn't see it, so they put out a few clothes that didn't look very conspicuous, pretending to be kind people passing by, and helping Wanzi.

Maruko is very grateful for the stranger's help, but she has nothing to repay, so she can only say "thank you" over and over again.

The moment the flame ignited, Yamato Mamoru noticed with sharp eyes that the face of the body was still normal just now, but it was densely covered with mantras when it was engulfed by the fire.

Although he was full of doubts, he still held back from asking in the end, because the young Wanzi probably knew less than him.

Wanzi seemed to see his doubts, and since the other party helped her, she took the initiative to explain: "Mother said that if she dies, she must be cremated. That is her way back, but mother is not a bad person, so do not worry."

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay." Yamato Moran Ding waved his hands repeatedly, afraid of touching Wanzi's sadness.

After burying her mother, Maruko thanked Yamato Shouan and the others again and again, "Mr. Anding, where do you live, so I can find you in the future."

"No need, no need, it's easy." Yamato Shou'an and the others don't have any place to live now, so they don't have a whole place name for Wanzi.

Xiaoye, who has been concentrating on her work by the side and never asked about other things, also nodded, and stuffed a few fruits into Wanzi's hands, "Don't think too much about it."

"I still need it." Maruko insisted stubbornly, and neither Yamato Shou'an nor Saya could do anything about it.

"That..." Yamato Shou'an suddenly got stuck. He scratched his head, his eyes kept gesturing to his companions who pretended not to exist, but there was no one to help him. ... We are not actually from this village, we... live in Anma Mountain, yes, we live in the forest on Anma Mountain, and I often see you running up the mountain, little girl, so..."

so what?Yamato Shou'an can't make it anymore.

He couldn't say that they were from the village. After all, if they were to shake their swords dozens of times and take human form, if they mixed up in the village and lived in them all at once, they would definitely attract attention.

If Maruko really came to them, it would be a big deal for them to build a small house on Mount Kurama, so as not to have to sleep in the open air in the future. The guy in Qingguang, California has been complaining, saying that the knife is sleeping in the wild every day, and it is about to rust. Not cute anymore.

"On Anma Mountain? I understand." Maruko thanked them again solemnly, "I will visit some other day, then, see you next time."

After finishing talking, Wanzi ran away all the way.

"Yamato Mori, well done!" Tsurumaru, who had just transformed into form in the past few days, rushed forward and hugged Yamato Mori Anding's shoulders, regardless of the fact that Yamato Mori Anding was still covered in dust and dirt after finishing the work. He would stain his white clothes, and gave him a thumbs up, "Get on good terms, so it won't be strange if we are found by the master's side."

"But when the master saw us later, he didn't know us. Will our doing so affect the history of the master?" Yamato Shou'an was a little worried.

"Of course not. Didn't the master lose his memory when he saw us later? It doesn't make any difference whether he saw us or not. Now that Tsukimi Zongjin is not here, maybe the master has a fate with us and we don't know each other at all. Conflict! Don't worry, don't worry, at worst, wait for the owner to be adopted and get that guy's body knife, and we'll just stay away from her. No, maybe we'll have returned to Honmaru by then."

With Tsurumaru's explanation, everyone felt that the logic was right.In order to realize what Yuan Da and Shou An Ding said, they picked a place on Mount Anma and used their own body knives to chop wood to build a house.

In less than a few days, they were extremely thankful that they had built the house. Although it was a dark night with heavy thunder when they came to this time and space, they didn't want to be so foolishly drenched in the rain anyway.

It rained all night, with thunder and lightning.Originally, after all the Sword Fusangshen had turned into human forms, they would take turns arranging the swords to take care of the meatballs every day. However, after the heavy rain, maybe it was because the mountains were muddy and the roads were difficult to walk, or for other reasons, the sword Fushen they sent The god of mourning has not returned yet.

Datachi Taro Tachi sat at the door, waiting silently, because the sword Fusangshin sent out this time was his younger brother Jiro Tachi, and he was very worried about his brother and master.

"Taro, don't worry, it's not Jiro who went alone. Odachi's night vision is not good, so he will arrange short swords to accompany him. All the short swords are very reliable. Besides, Jiro doesn't have any alcohol now. There should be no delay." When California Qingguang was cleaning, he saw that Taro's sword was still sticking there, so he comforted him.

"But this time, the short swords together are not fixed." Taro Tachi was even more worried, "I am very worried that they will abandon their masters and sneak away to other places to drink and drink. If they come back smelly of alcohol, I'm afraid..."

"Hey, you are afraid of this!" California Qingguang roared, "You have more confidence in your younger brother. Where do you get the wine for them to drink? On a rainy day, do you drink rainwater?"

Taro Tachi was silent.

"Don't keep talking, your brother loves to drink so much, besides, the one who doesn't move is not drunk just by drinking ganjiu, the degree of alcohol your brother drank is not something he can resist, no, they won't Those who sneaked off to drink, after all, they are also very responsible. So is your brother, and so is Fudo Xingguang, they have a sense of proportion.” California Qingguang has more confidence in them.

Taro Tachi: "... What if Fudo Yukimitsu gets drunk by Jiro?"

Because Taro Tachi is sitting, this height is just right for the slightly shorter California Kiyomitsu not to step on his feet.California Kiyomitsu put one hand on Taro Taidao's shoulder, with a sad expression on his face, "Then you should be mentally prepared that your younger brother will be beaten up by Hasebe and Yaken together, do you want me to call Ishikirimaru?" , he will remove the swelling, and the swelling that was punched out should also be removed."

Taro Tachi: "...then please call him for me, please."

Sure enough, Jiro Tachi and Fudo Yukimitsu were drunk when they came back. Not to mention Yakiri Hasebe and Yaken Toshiro looked like they wanted to beat them, even Yamabuki Kunihiro and the others wanted to beat them too.

It’s just that they are not the only ones who came back, so no matter how much they wanted to beat them, everyone endured it now. Jiro Tachi was taken away by the child-protecting Taro Tachi, and the rest of them didn’t move at Yaken Toshiro’s sneer Next, sleep a little restlessly.

"My lord... I'm really sorry for your inconvenience." Hasebe Kakiri hurriedly thanked Maruko for helping to bring Jiro Tachi and Fudo Yukimitsu, but after knowing it, he felt that whether he was wearing a priest's outfit or an insider's sportswear, It was not good to appear in front of Wanzi, and the whole knife became stiff immediately.

Fortunately, Maruko may be due to her young age and lack of knowledge, so she doesn't understand that their clothes are considered exotic in this era.She obediently held a jug of wine, and handed it to the other party anxiously.

"Uh... I didn't know there were so many people in your family. This, this wine came as a thank you gift. Is the amount too small?"

"No, no, there are only a few people in our family who drink, that's enough, it's enough!" I don't drink alcohol, but everyone can drink more or less, but now I don't care about Hasebe!

"It's just... where did this wine come from?" Yaken Toshiro knew that this wine was good wine when he smelled it, and he probably couldn't get this kind of good wine with Wanzi's current status.

"A big brother told me before that when thunder and lightning fall into the forest, there will be fine wine. I went to see it yesterday, and there really is!" Wanzi made a big circle with his hand, "A large group of people I lined up there to get drinks, and brother Jiro and Brother Xingguang helped me to occupy a seat just now, otherwise it would not be my turn."

Yaken Toshiro's smile froze on his face. He had never heard of the connection between thunder and fine wine, but he also heard from other people that Maruko met a big monster with a little kindness before, so what the big monster said Is it common sense in the monster world?

He asked dryly, "What kind of person is it?"

"He's a drinker. He looks similar to Brother Jiro and Brother Xingguang, but he is also a very good person. They asked me to pour wine and bake things for them. They also promised me that after they finished, the leftovers would be fine. Take it away, brother Jiro is very powerful, he can carry a lot of things by himself!" Maruko said gratefully.

almost?Is that a group of drunken ghosts?

She continued happily: "They said that there will be a banquet in three days, and I can help them and run errands."

I simply think that it is a group of rich people who don't care about money and money to drink in the wild, and some leftover snacks like pickled radishes can be stored for several days. You don't have to worry about starvation in the next few days, so sell them For the remaining utensils, there is still some savings.

Be sure to do a good job, and the grown-ups will let her help next time!

Looking at the balls that Naive didn't know he was circling among the monsters he feared the most, the swords and gods were in a complicated mood.

The author has something to say: Maruko who can't tell the difference between a man and a demon meets a monster who is so drunk that he can't tell a man from a demon ==

————————————————————————————

In ancient Japan, sinners, people with serious diseases, etc. were cremated, as well as human sacrifices. Maruko was in Honmaru’s dream before, which indicated that her parents were sacrifices, but Maruko herself was not a sacrifice. In fact, some readers have almost guessed the identity, but I will not say more about who it is, the answer will be known in the future
