Chapter 2: Struggle
Yae Sakura grabbed Rin Yae's hand and pulled her up. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Sister, what are you doing?" asked Yae Rin puzzled.
"The villagers caught up. Yae Sakura said nervously.
Hearing Yae Sakura's words, Yae Rin panicked suddenly.
"What should I do?" asked Yae Rin tremblingly.
"What else can I do? Run!"
Yae Sakura dragged Yae Rin forward, Yae Rin struggled for a moment, pointed at the young man in white and said, "What about this person?" ”
"Leave him alone, the villagers will save him. ”
"But ・・・・・・"
Yae Rin was still hesitating, and in just a few moments, the villagers caught up. Seven or eight people, the leader of whom was the hunter of the village, had a bow in his hand and a dagger tied to his thigh. Others, some with axes and some with farm tools, were a mess.
The villagers surrounded the two sisters. The hunter stood up and pointed at Yae Rin's nose and scolded: "Yae Rin, as a person from Yae Village, you actually evade your responsibilities, you are simply a little white-eyed wolf who can't be raised, and you don't care for your sisters so much on weekdays. If it is because of you that the gods are angry and blame the village, no one will let you go. ”
The hunter had a fierce face, which frightened the little girl Yae Rin. She clasped her hands and lowered her head, her body trembling.
Hearing the hunter's shameless words, Yae Sakura was furious: "You are talking nonsense. It's my sister who is helping you, where are you taking care of us?"
The hunter was choked by Yae Sakura, and in anger, he pointed at Yae Sakura and scolded, "You are not a good thing, as a shrine maiden, you actually ran away with sacrifices. ”
"You-"
Yae Sakura was so angry that she trembled.
A middle-aged uncle with an axe walked out. Yae Sakura knew him, and he was the woodcutter of the village. Once, when the woodcutter went up the mountain to chop wood, the old mother of the family suddenly fell ill, and it was Yae Rin who stepped in and saved the old man's life.
"Don't talk nonsense with them, get them back quickly, if you delay the sacrifice and anger the gods, if you continue this drought, you will definitely have no harvest this year." In that case, a lot of people will die this winter. The woodcutter said to the hunter.
Yae Sakura glared at the woodcutter fiercely. The woodcutter did not dare to look at her, he was not as brazen as the hunter, and he was still a little ashamed in his heart. However, in order for the big guy to survive, he will not stop the sacrifice. In his opinion, it was worth exchanging the life of a little girl for the lives of the whole village. Other villagers had similar thoughts, after all, it was not ・・・・・・ who died.
Hearing the woodcutter's words, the hunter nodded and looked back at the Yae sisters: "You two, do you want to go back with us by yourself, or will you let us tie us up?"
Probably to cooperate with the hunter's words, a farmer stepped forward and shook the hemp rope in his hand, and the threat was overflowing.
"I'm not going to let you kill Rin. Yae Sakura said loudly, then pulled out the short knife at his waist and confronted the villagers.
The hunter snorted coldly: "It seems that you will have to suffer a little before you will be honest." ”
"Let's get on them together, catch them quickly, lest there be an accident. The woodcutter said.
The hunter waved his hand: "No, deal with two little girls, how can you use everyone to do it together, it's not good to say it, I'm enough alone." ”
The woodcutter tried to dissuade him, but seeing that the hunter was full of confidence, he knew that he wanted to pretend to beep and not want to get in the way, so he had to give up.
The hunter didn't use the archery skills he was good at, probably because he didn't think it was necessary. He hunched his back to his back, pulled out the dagger on his thigh, and pounced on Yae Sakura.
"Rin, stand back. Yae Sakura said in a deep voice.
Yae Rin nodded obediently and stepped aside.
Yae Sakura clenched the short knife in both hands, and looked directly at the hunter as she usually did when she was practicing. The hunter rushed in front of Yae Sakura, and the dagger swung towards Yae Sakura's short knife. His plan was to knock out Yae Sakura's short knife with a dagger, and then grab the other with his other hand. After all, their purpose was to capture the two sisters alive, not to kill them.
Yae Sakura also had no actual combat experience, and she stubbornly pointed the short knife towards the dagger. In all fairness, Yae Sakura's martial arts are better than those of hunters, because hunters have never practiced martial arts at all. However, she is too young and suffers a lot in terms of strength.
"Khooth!"
With a crisp sound of gold and iron clashing, and feeling the power coming from the short knife, Yae Sakura looked panicked, staggered back a few steps, and then unloaded his strength and barely stood firm. Only then did she realize that there was a gap between her strength and that of adults. What's more, after a day and a night of escaping, she was exhausted. She could clearly feel that her hand holding the knife was not as strong as usual.
The hunter was a little surprised that he didn't defeat Yae Sakura's weapon. Thinking that the idea of "defeating the enemy with one move" failed, he was a little annoyed in his heart, and secretly scolded Yae Sakura for not being conscious at all, and it would be over if he honestly let him be defeated, why do you need to do such a useless struggle.
The displeased hunter rushed up again, and this time, Yae Sakura had learned her lesson and was no longer going toe-to-toe with the hunter. She used her petite size and dexterity to avoid the hunter's dagger and attack the hunter from the side. At this point, she could have inflicted a heavy blow on the hunter, but at the last moment, she spun the blade of the knife and hit the hunter with the side of the knife.
There is no doubt that the blow did not hurt the hunter, but only made him a little painful. Although unharmed, the hunter felt humiliated. Annoyed, he stepped up his offensive. However, a mountain hunter like him, who has no martial arts, really can't deal with the talented Yae Sakura. After being knocked down again and again, the hunter was frightened and no longer insisted on dealing with Yae Sakura alone.
"Let's all go up!" he shouted.
The woodcutter looked at him with disdain: just now he confidently said that one person is enough, but now he is beaten all over the ground looking for teeth, and he bullies more and less, which is really shameless.
Although he was slandered in his heart, the woodcutter still rushed forward with everyone.
Although Yae Sakura was gifted, she had not yet grown up, and she was no match for a group of villagers at all, and she was defeated after a while, and the short knife was also sent flying. After letting the two of them catch Yae Sakura, the hunter walked up to her and slapped her in the face. This is his revenge for Yae Sakura for knocking him down and causing him a big loss of face.
One of Yae's faces immediately swollen, and blood spilled from the corners of her mouth. She looked at the hunter with hatred.
"It's a nice feeling to slap the shrine maiden. The hunter said darkly. Although the shrine maiden is revered, Yae Sakura is still young and has no deterrent power. Now, the highest status of Yae Village is the village head.
