Chapter Seventy-Two: The Cabin in the Mountains
Killed the oncoming beast again, and finally reached the end of the crossbow, and it was a little difficult to even maintain a standing posture, and the kimono on his body was also broken on the left because of the beast's bite, and a corner was missing on the right.
"Huh~Huh~ It's finally done, but this time it's not more powerful than the previous times, it's so laborious. β
"But Mom won. Wei Na, who was hiding on the side, trotted forward and used his body to provide guidance to his mother.
"yes, because I'm your mom. "But if I do it again, I may not be able to hold it out, how far is it from where you said?"
"It's close. "Ah, I can already see the light, and I can hear strange sounds." β
Shi raised his head, and his scattered pupils converged again. Sure enough, there was a little more brightness at the end of the groggy sight.
When the two returned, it was already dark, and after a period of running, it was even more drowsy. It's a secluded mountain forest that is inaccessible, and it's particularly sensitive to line changes.
After a few more steps, the voice came.
Bells, bells, bells,
The mother and daughter were shocked. With the guidance of light and sound, the road is much easier, and the heavy steps can't help but be a little brisk.
Within a few minutes, the two of them found the source of the lightβa window, a wooden window with a bright fire, and the sound of bells coming from the window.
"Anyone really lives here?"
Shi's eyes widened. Even though I knew about Weina's abilities, I was surprised to see the real thing with my own eyes.
Having windows naturally means having a house, and the house is also made of wood, similar to the style of the house of the Ryoyi family, which is a traditional Japanese building. But it's much smaller, a tenth or less.
The house is surrounded by a fence made of bamboo, and the courtyard is furnished with tables and chairs, which are also made of wood, and a small vegetable garden has been set up. It can be seen that the owner is very careful about the layout of the courtyard of the house.
"Is anyone there, please?"
When he observed, Wei Na had already let go of his throat.
The sound of "bell-clang" stopped instantly, and then a man's voice sounded.
"Master, there seems to be someone. β
"Where did you come from in the wilderness? It's this time again. Don't get distracted, it's almost done. β
The former is young, the latter is old, and they have the same trait - full of energy.
The young man continued: "Yes, maybe I heard it wrong. β
Hearing this, Wei Na hurriedly shouted: "I'm sorry, excuse me." β
"No, Master, there really is someone!"
"Well, I heard that too, you go and ask what's going on?"
"Yes, Master. β
The sound of the bell rang out again.
A few seconds later, the door opened, and a strange teenager walked out.
The boy is very delicate, with brown-red hair and brown-red eyes, giving people a feeling of gentleness and transparency. However, the young man's body is not as soft as his face, with sharp edges, hard lines, and full of muscles - the legendary eyebrows are clear and beautiful, and the tiger's back is what he is talking about.
Why do you see so clearly? Because the boy who opened the door was wearing a pair of big pants, and the rest of his body was exposed to the air. It's a sub-freezing winter night, not a hot summer. What's even more exaggerated is that the boy's chest and forehead are still sweating out, and the temperature of the sweat and the low temperature of the environment interact to evaporate bursts of water vapor, so this is a strange teenager.
Probably because the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the house was too large, the young man shivered and said, "Is there something wrong?"
"My mother and I are being chased by wild beasts, can you let us hide here. "Style straight to the point.
"Beasts, how can this be...... Huh?"
The boy's first reaction was disbelief, but before he could finish speaking, he saw claw marks and tooth marks on his clothes.
"It's strange, there shouldn't be any ferocious animals around here. β
"It's true, oh, they seem to be coming after me again, I hear them. β
"Is there really a beast?"
Hearing Weina's words, the young man hurriedly listened attentively, and found that he could indeed hear the faint roar of the beast. Immediately stopped doubting and said to the two.
"Come in first, the beasts are afraid of the light, and if they are here, they should not dare to approach. Rest in peace, I'll pour you a glass of water and get something to eat. β
"Wait a minute. Shi hurriedly stopped, "That's not an ordinary beast, it doesn't have to be afraid of light, you and your master-"
"It's okay if you're not afraid of the light, it's just a beast, if you dare to rush in, kill it for supper. β
The boy waved his hand nonchalantly, and suddenly felt something poke his calf, and when he looked down, he saw that it was Weina's finger.
"Little sister, what's wrong with you?"
Wei Na didn't speak, his fingers panned, pointing out of the fence, and a pair of red bloodthirsty eyes could already be seen in the distance.
"How can there be so many!" the young man's confident expression froze on his face, "Master, Master, come out quickly, there are beasts, there are many beasts!"
"Isn't it just a beast? what's so strange, you can kill it at will, just to give you a meal." "It's worthy of being a master and apprentice, and even the reaction is the same.
"No, Master, there are too many beasts to kill. The boy was in a hurry.
"If you can't kill it, hold the door and hold on for five minutes. I'm still missing the last process, and if I stop at this time, these two days will be in vain. β
"Five minutes?" the boy looked at the approaching beast again, but did not speak again.
Seeing him like this, Shiki pinched his leg hard with his left hand, clenched the dagger with his right hand, and stood up strongly.
"This lady, you ......" The young man was slightly stunned.
"There are too many beasts, I'm here to attract their attention, take advantage of this time, please run with Wei Na. "Shi was prepared for the worst.
"No, no, you're mistaken. I didn't think about running, I was just thinking about what knife to use. β
As he spoke, the boy walked to a corner of the courtyard, where there was a large wooden barrel covered with a black cloth, and when the cover was lifted, there were all kinds of knives lying in it.
Notai sword, Noginagi knife, large sword, saber, fighting knife, Iai sword, wakisa, short knife...... There are all kinds of Japanese swords that can be named, and the cold glow reflected by the chaotic blades is dazzling.
"This, this is!"
"Actually, I'm a knife maker who specializes in knife forgingβah, though it's just an apprenticeship. β
The boy took out a beating knife and two slashes, and walked unhurriedly to the outside of the hospital.
"The twenty-seventh generation of Chiko Muramasa, Shirou is also!"
PS. The man you want is out.
