23. Southern ......
'The ghosts in the ghost town don't eat people, and they take in humans. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info what's going on?'
Shigemi Ikeda was completely speechless at this time, and the woman in front of her could beat the ghost with one punch, and those few words alone had completely subverted her common sense.
"Let's go, I'll take you to eat. Humans can't eat raw meat these two bastards don't know, otherwise they wouldn't just put raw meat in front of you.
By the way, I'm going to take you to see the humans I just talked about. Otherwise, you probably won't be used to living here. ”
With that, Ibaraki Kafan took Shigemi Ikeda's hand and led her out of the guest room.
When you step out of the room, you will be greeted by a very long corridor.
In the hallway, ghosts lay on the ground, snoring like thunder. And he was still holding a wine vat tightly beside him.
Apparently they were so drunk that they fell to the ground in a drowsy state.
The ghost clan is really all drunkards.
Through the long corridor, the two of them came to a large gate, pushed open the door, and walked out of the door.
What catches your eye is the blue sky and white clouds, and the dazzling sunlight.
Unexpectedly, the corridor was connected to the gate, and outside the gate was the open space in the front yard of the Ghost King's Castle.
But before Shigemi Ikeda could see the scenery in the front yard clearly, the Ibaraki Kafan pulled Shigemi Ikeda directly towards the backyard of the Oni King's Castle.
And the strange thing is that the backyard of the Ghost King's Castle is even bigger and wider than the front yard!
And in the backyard, there are still small wooden houses.
There are about a dozen wooden houses, which are no different from those in human towns.
It is also much smaller than the wooden house where the ghost clan lives, and it is a proper human house.
It's just that it's a strange thing, it's inhabited by humans!
Most of them were over 20 years old, and most of them were women, but occasionally some old women in their 50s were hanging outside the hut.
Looking at these women, the words 'kidnapping' and 'captivity' immediately came to mind. Then he spoke.
"They...... And from the looks of it......, you kidnapped me? You don't seem to have the horns that only the ghost clan has, and you were kidnapped too?"
"Huh!"
Ibaraki Hua Fan suddenly chuckled.
"What's wrong?"
"Wrong! And a big mistake!
First of all, we don't kidnap people, strictly speaking, you're the first person we kidnapped!
I also know that we ghosts often say that we ghosts kidnap people, but what about ...... You humans do the most kidnapping.
Have you ever seen such a scene? A nobleman walked down the street and saw a beautiful woman talking to her, only to disappear the next day.
Soon after, rumors that the ghost had kidnapped her slowly spread through the town. In the end, it didn't work. ”
“……”
Shigemi Ikeda was speechless for a moment, and she seemed to have experienced this incident firsthand.
I vaguely remember that my father had asked a female servant to come to his room, but the female servant disappeared the next day.
Later, her father also said that it was a ghost who kidnapped her.
Immediately after, Ibaraki said again.
"Some ghosts, of course, eat people, and they also keep people in captivity as a source of food.
But we are different, the ghosts under our command have never eaten people!
Although these humans live here, they look like they are being kept in captivity...... But in fact, they were saved by us.
Before they came to the ghost clan, they were all refugees who survived in the Zhuguo War. (At this time, Japan did not know that there was a country.)
You wantonly wage war, and you want to be together. But you know what? War kills!
All of these women were widows, and all of them were widows of dead husbands.
Their husbands are all members of the ranks of ordinary soldiers who voluntarily join the army for the sake of power and money, or they are not willing to join the army, but you forcibly pull them into the army.
But you know what? They're human beings like you, not monsters like us! A woman's life...... It's very miserable.
They relied on their father for the first half of their lives, and their husbands were their heavens for the rest of their lives. No matter how much their husbands abuse them, they still rely on them to survive.
But as soon as their husbands died in battle, their heavens fell!
When their husbands die, they have to support their husbands' homes.
Even if there is no father-in-law or mother-in-law, the husband's father and mother have to take care of themselves and their husband's children. Raise your own children to adulthood.
Can...... Women are always looked down upon.
Their husbands can kill their wives on suspicion of misconduct and marry new women. Naturally, others can bully them.
This is how many widows were tossed to death......
They were all rescued when our ghost clan was migrating or going out hunting. And without exception, they all came here in a dying state.
If you don't believe me, you can ask them.
Now they're going to help us make wine in return, because we're all drunkards! And it's the only place where we can eat food that humans can eat.
That's what I wanted to bring you here to eat. ”
With that, Ibaraki walked straight to where the women were.
Shigemi Ikeda followed closely and shouted loudly.
"Wait! you haven't said who you are!"
But then, Ikeda no longer had to wonder about the identity of the Ibaraki fan.
Shigemi Ikeda's shouts were so loud that they caught the women's attention.
The women ran as if to Ibaraki and shouted.
"Ibaraki-sama!"
"Ibaraki-sama!"
“……”
Now, Shigemi Ikeda finally knows the true identity of the Ibaraki Kafan.
But at this time, her three views are in a faint throze.
'Why are all the ghosts I know different?' Aren't Ibaraki boys men? Aren't they cannibalistic people? Why do we humans pour all the bad things and dirty water on the ghosts?'
After a few more moments, Ibaraki Kafan walked up to Shigemi Ikeda again, patted Shigemi Ikeda on the shoulder, and spoke.
"I told them that from now on they will be responsible for your food, and when those ghosts under our command do something wrong again. ”
Shigemi Ikeda was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses and said.
"You're really Ibaraki...... Woo!"
Before he finished speaking, Ibaraki Kafan covered Shigemi Ikeda's mouth with one hand and quickly looked south.
At first glance, although nothing special happened in the south, Ibaraki Huafan vaguely felt that there seemed to be a strong demonic aura erupting in the south.
"What the hell is going on?"
Ibaraki Kafan muttered to himself, and then hurriedly ran back to the Ghost King's Castle.
