30. Princess Mononoke

It was late at night. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Asdidaka lay in the cave, unable to sleep.

The unimaginable pain kept waking him from his sleep, and even in his dreams he could feel himself weakening day by day.

Awakened by the pain again, Asedaka, who was sweating like rain, opened his eyes weakly and saw Shan lying beside him.

Shan's sleeping face was unusually quiet, very different from the heroic Princess Mononoke in the daytime. When she takes off her disguise, she's just a girl and nothing else.

Shan is between humans and mountain monsters, but she is not accepted by both sides, exactly like Asdidaka at this moment.

After thinking about it, Ashitaka lifted the blanket and walked out of the cave.

Walking out of the cave, Asidaka realized that it was on the top of a mountain. From here, you can take in the scenery thoroughly. The entirety of the Forest of the Mountain Beast God was unreservedly displayed in the eyes of Ashedaka.

It was a beautiful sight beyond the world, but Ashidaka was at a loss.

The curse was added, and the nine skies were nowhere to be seen, and at this moment he lost his foothold again.

There was nowhere else to go, and Ashidaka was well aware.

So what can he, a semi-disabled man, do now? Just with him, a wanderer?

"It's painful." An unexpected voice came from above Ashedaka's head.

The mountain dog sat on top of the flat rock, looking down on Asshidaka condescendingly.

Asidaka was not surprised by the appearance of the mountain dog, but wondered why the mountain dog had come to him.

"If you're tired, jump off here. Then it's all over. The mountain dog shook his ears expressionlessly, and his eyes looked at Asdidaka mercilessly: "I got a second life, but I still suffer from the curse, so why fight to death?" ”

In response to the mountain dog's advice, Ashidaka shook his head.

"I seem to have been in a coma for days, has Neishan been taking care of me like this all this time?"

"Don't call it so intimate, I don't agree with your relationship with Shan. In fact, if you let out even one cry of pain during those few days, I have a valid reason to bite you to death. The big mountain dog lay down and looked down at Asidaka, with a face full of disdain: "It's a pity." ”

The dog's words that were close to provocation did not have any effect on Ashidaka, in fact, Ashidaka understood the hatred between the mountain dog and humans, even if Ashidaka was a human himself.

In fact, the mountain dog can calmly sit down and talk to Ashidaka, which is already the maximum tolerance for Ashidaka to some extent.

"It's a beautiful forest ......," Asdidaka looked out, and the beautiful night view stunned him. The mountain dog snorted, and the matter was revealed.

Asdidaka turned back to the mountain dog and asked, "So, is the wild boar herd going to attack now?" ”

"Go back to the cave, boy. It's none of your business. The mountain dog looked up into the distance, and seemed to see the wild boar herd slowly moving forward: "As a human, you can't hear the mournful cry of the forest being trampled by wild boars. If you want to be nosy, weigh yourself first. ”

As he spoke, the mountain dog became quiet.

"I'm here to die, and the mournful sound of the forest comes to my ears. Even if it were so, I couldn't die yet. The bloody eyes of the mountain dog seemed to be a little redder: "I'm going to bite her head, that woman...... I wanted to kill her in my dreams! ”

Asidaka clenched his fists and shouted at the Great Mountain Dog, "Mountain Dog God! Is it true that there is only one way to reconcile between the forest and humans? Can only solve everything in the form of a fight? ”

"Now that the humans won't let us go, you've probably heard that they've started to gather troops." The big mountain dog stared at Asidaka with a smile: "Do you want us to give up our resistance and be obediently hacked to death by swords and killed by stone fire arrows?" ”

"What about Shan? She's human! Are you going to die with her? ”

Asidaka's words made the big mountain dog's face sink, and the atmosphere on both sides became extremely harsh.

However, Ashidaka stared at the mountain dog fearlessly, and his fists clenched even tighter.

“…… Human, you're playing with fire. The mountain dog stared into Ashidaka's eyes and said word by word.

Without fear, Asidaka replied, "I love her." ”

"Love? Amusing! That's just wishful thinking on your part! Shan, as the daughter of a mountain dog, will surely live and die with the forest! ”

"You should let her go! She's human! ”

"Shut up! You bastard! You don't understand anything at all! The big mountain dog, which had always seemed calm and composed, was furious at the moment, and all the fangs in his mouth showed a cold light.

"Can you cure her misfortune! Those garbage humans sent one of their baby girls to our claws in order to survive under our fangs! Neither a human nor a mountain dog, this is Shan! O my poor and ugly daughter! Can you save her? If I could, why not kill myself right away! ”

The fierce face of the mountain dog was revealed, and the words that roared out were already with a trill, not so much a threat, but a crying pleading.

Asidaka understood that this was the last request that his mother, whose eyes were moist, gave him on her deathbed.

“…… I'm not sure, but we can live together, in a place where there aren't any human beings. Asidaka gave his answer to the mountain dog.

The mountain dog's hideous mouth grinned, and let out bursts of creepy and strange laughter.

"Hahahaha! Life? Humans are knocking on the door! How are you going to live? Do you choose to fight alongside Shan? ”

"Nope! That will only cause greater hatred! ”

The expected answer, the mountain dog was not surprised at all.

"A word of caution, your time is running out. I'm a youkai, and even if I'm near-dead, I'll outlive you. You, as for you, will be put to death by a curse. Get out of here with what little life you have left, and get out of here as far as you can at dawn. ”

Asidaka didn't answer and walked back to the cave.

The fierce expression that the mountain dog pretended to be relaxed and showed even more fatigue.

[Ghost Spirit...... My days are numbered, but will this boy you are sheltering really survive four days? 】

The big mountain dog lying on the rock closed its eyes and slept quietly in the moonlight.

Asdidaka walked back into the cave and sat down on the ground to think. Shan was awakened by Ashitaka's movements, opened her eyes in a daze, saw Asdidaka sitting on the ground, and asked with a little surprise, "Can you already walk?" ”

"Thanks to Shan these days, otherwise even if the Mountain Beast God rescued me, I would have died of hunger." Asdidaka smiled at Chaoshan.

Shan retreated into the covers, already asleep.

Asdidaka glanced at the sleeping Shan and gently placed her blanket over her.

Finally, Ashidaka sat in place, waiting for the sunrise to come.
