24. You don't care because you're human
On the rock, Yaklu and the two mountain dogs that followed him ran wildly, and Asidaka, who was sitting on Ark Road, held the unconscious Shan weakly. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
[Huh......? Shan was a little surprised when she woke up slowly, and then she suddenly felt a loosening in her back.
"Poof."
Asidaka fell headlong from the back of Ark Road, hit his head on the protruding rock, and rolled to the ground without sound.
"Stop!" When Shan saw Ashitaka roll backwards, she immediately shouted at Arkru, who was still galloping.
When the two mountain dogs heard Shan's voice, they immediately turned and ran towards Asidaka, who had fallen to the ground, and one of the mountain dogs opened its mouth wide and bit Ashidaka's head.
"Wait! Can't hurt him! Shan immediately stopped the mountain dog's attack, and the mountain dog reluctantly let go of his mouth.
Akru threw Shan off her back and ran to the side to look at Asdidaka, who had fallen to the ground.
Shan clutched her stomach as she slowly walked towards Ashedaka, who had not yet recovered from the punch she had just given, and was still in a faint pain.
The hole in Ashidaka's chest no longer bleed, and his face was as pale as a dead man.
[Messed up......] Shan couldn't help but feel a little guilty, if she hadn't been so reckless......
"Are you going to die......?" Shan touched the dog's nose and asked at Ashidaka.
Ashidaka did not move.
"Answer me before you die! If you blocked me before, then why save me! Shan immediately crouched down and asked aloud at Asidaka.
Asidaka's pale lips moved slightly, and a few words were spoken.
"I don't want to ...... Let you die ......"
"Are you laughing at me! I am not afraid of death! Shan grabbed Ashidaka by the hem of her coat and yelled at him.
"I like you...... When I first met you...... I ......" Asidaka's voice was faint, but it was like a sharp needle piercing Shan's heart.
"You—You're lying! You lied to me! Shan loosened the placket of Ashidaka's shirt and hurriedly shouted at him, "You're just meddling in your way of me!" You're just asking for trouble! ”
Shan hurriedly pulled out Ashedaka's machete and stabbed straight at Ashedaka's throat.
The cold light pressed against Ashidaka's throat and didn't go any further.
Shan stopped before the machete stabbed Ashidaka in the neck, and Asdidaka didn't resist.
"I'm going to slit your throat so you don't talk nonsense anymore!" Despite the menacing tone, Shan's breathing became very rapid, and her hand holding the machete kept shaking.
"I ...... Can't die......" Asidaka's Adam's apple moved slightly, and the tip of the knife cut a little bit of skin, but no blood flowed.
"Do you still want to talk nonsense! My will will not be at your mercy! Shan didn't know why she was so out of control, but her mind was in a mess at the moment.
Asidaka opened her eyes slightly, and saw Shan's flustered face.
"Hello beautiful ......"
Shan's pupils dilated rapidly, and she quickly jumped away from Ashidaka as if she had heard something shocking her, clinging to the mountain dog's body and staring incredulously at the dead man lying on the ground.
"Shan, what's wrong with you?" The mountain dog who was relied on spat out and asked in a low voice, "Do you need me to bite the disrespectful person to death?" ”
Shan looked at Asidaka with her eyes closed in a daze, and did not respond to the mountain dog.
"Shan?" Mountain dogs are a little confused.
In front of Asshidaka's body, a flying stone fell in front of him.
Returning to her senses, Shan looked along the trajectory of the stone, only to find that a large number of raccoons had unknowingly gathered on the mountain rock.
"Gollum, Gollum." The moxavans, muttering voices of unknown meaning, grabbed rocks and threw them at Ashidaka and Shan.
"Looking for death! Stinky monkeys! The fur of the two mountain dogs began to glow slightly, and one of the mountain dogs grinned and showed its sharp canine teeth and threatened the beast: "I know that we are a mountain dog clan, but how dare you be so rude to us!" ”
"That's, it's human, it's not." A raccoon pointed at Asidaka in a half-familiar voice and said, "This is ours, the forest." Leave that person to me. ”
"Hand over, human, go."
"Human, give it to me."
The steady stream of twigs and rocks angered the dogs, and the other dog opened its mouth wide to reveal its fangs: "Get out of the way, until I can restrain myself from biting you to death." ”
"You're just, get out of here." "We want to eat, people." "Eat people, become stronger." "The man, give us food."
Shan angrily held the dagger and shouted at the foxes, "Foxes! You who were once known as the 'Sages of the Forest', why do you eat people! ”
"Only by eating people can you gain human power." The scarlet eyes of the raccoon shimmered with an eerie red light, fluttering back and forth in the dark night.
"Strength, defeat humanity, reclaim the forest."
"No! Cannibalism can't gain power! Shan retorted loudly, "This is just gratuitous killing!" You look like ugly devils now! ”
"We plant trees, humans cut down trees." As if enchanted, the raccoon kept chanting, "The forest is going to disappear, and we are going to kill the humans." ”
"The Mountain Beast God will bless us! Don't be discouraged! Forests don't go away! Shan kept shaking her head and kept persuading.
"The mountain beast god will not, we will die. Princess Mononoke, you don't care. Because you are a human being. "The expressions of the foxes have become terrifying.
Shan's throat seemed to be stuck in something, and she couldn't continue to speak.
At this time, the two mountain dogs roared wildly at the fox, and some of the beasts fled one after another.
"Impudent monkey, I'm going to bite your heads!" The two mountain dogs ran towards the foxes, and all the dogs immediately scattered in fright.
"Stop!" Shan stopped the dogs' pursuit, and looked at Asshidaka's corpse in silence.
Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, the mountain dogs slowly walked back and leaned against Shan's side.
"Leave the raccoons alone, you go back first. I'll deal with this person. Shan waved her hand and told the dogs to leave.
"What about that guy?" A mountain dog looked up at Akru, who was watching, and said, "Can I eat it?" ”
"You can't eat it, let's go." Shan smiled and patted the mountain dog on the back.
After seeing the two mountain dogs leave, Shan looked at Ark Road, who was standing in the distance.
Arkru's ears twitched as he looked at Shan.
"Come on, let's reconcile." Shan said to Akru, "I will heal your master." Please help. ”
Akru's hooves scratched the ground and reluctantly walked over to Shan, who picked up Asidaka and carried him on Akru's back.
Shan steered the Ark Road and slowly walked into the depths of the woods.

This is the place where the legendary mountain beast god dwells, which is the "green world" that Ashidaka admired at the beginning.
Because it was night, the brilliant emerald scene turned into a dark green emerald.
The dryads stood on the ancient giant tree, shaking their heads as they watched as Shan and Arklu rode Ashidaka.
Flying green fireflies and butterflies shimmering blue make the place look like a dream. Under the glorious illumination of the insects, even the depths of the dark forest are slightly illuminated.
Unsucked by the beauty or visions, Shan was destined for the lake where the beast god dwelled.
As time passed, they finally came to this turquoise lake, where the tranquil waters reflected Shan's face.
Sighing, Shan chopped down a nearby green grass with her dagger and walked down the lake.
Arklu held Ashidaka's corpse and silently followed Shan. Shan took the green grass in her mouth, dragged Ashidaka's body from Yaklu's body, and swam across the river.
After swimming in the pure green land in the middle of the lake, Shan dragged Ashidaka's body ashore.
After placing Ashidaka's body on land, Shan planted the green grass in front of Ashidaka's body as a tombstone.
Shan lowered her head again and listened carefully to Asidaka's heart, and after making sure there was no heartbeat, she got up and said to Yaklu in the lake, "You are very clever and did not make it here. ”
Shan swam to Akru, untied the reins from it, and said to him, "Get out of here, go where you want to go, you're free." ”
With that, Shan left the green.
Arklu shook off the drops of water on his body and stood motionless in the lake, guarding Ashidaka's corpse.
As the night passed, when Arklu looked up at a ray of sunlight shining through the cracks in the stone, he could vaguely see a large phantom shrinking, as if it was about to descend here.
Arklu shook his ears and continued to wait for Ashidaka.
