The countryside of Wuzhou, Kaede Village, noon after a day.

Yesterday, the people of Kaede Village harvested the rice from the dry rice fields one after another, leaving only the pale yellow straw on the land, and today, the people of the village are preparing to burn all the straw on the land into ashes to prepare for the cultivation of the spring after the cold winter.

Of course, it wasn't just because of this that the people of the village couldn't wait to burn the dry straw on the land the next day, but also because they were taking precautions to prevent them from learning that Kaede Village had harvested a lot of food when they passed through this remote village.

This is not too cautious, and the dry and patches of straw can easily let the bandits and thieves who are wandering around know that there is a lot of food stored in Kaede Village, which is extremely dangerous. This land is currently in the long, war-torn Warring States era. Although the daimyo of this era encouraged farmers to farm, and even the shoguns in Kyoto issued orders to the daimyo in various regions to cultivate more fertile land, food is extremely scarce in today's Sengoku era compared to the peaceful era.

In this Warring States era, if a small village like Kaede Village, which is located in a remote and almost unknown area, is known by the bandits and thieves that have harvested a lot of food this year, then the bandits, bandits, and ronins within a radius of 100 miles will flock to plunder the village. That's why the people who live in Kaede Village are so quick to prepare to burn the straw off the land.

After a little preparation, the people of the village also lit the dried straw with fire, and in a short time, dozens of open flames burned on the various fields where upland rice was grown, and the scene was not spectacular.

The flames that burned the upland rice fields slowly expanded, turning the dry straw into gray ashes, which fell on the ground and left it to absorb it.

Each piece of upland rice field is guarded by village people to prevent the open flames of burning straw from igniting the mountains and forests and causing large fires.

Not only did almost all the villagers come out to burn the stubble, but the shrine maidens in white clothes and red dresses also quietly stopped outside the rice fields, watching the people in the village work to prevent any accidents.

Dozens of open fires quickly burned all the dry straw on the land into gray ashes, which were then extinguished by the villagers, and the gray, fallen ashes were also turned into the soil by the villagers with hoes and shovels.

Watching the dozens of open flames burning straw extinguished one by one, the bellflower also breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, in the mountains and forests not far from the upland rice fields.

"Chief, look," a thief whispered, tucked away in the bushes, pointing to the villagers who had already extinguished all the open flames, "and the villagers have put out all the fires." ”

"The boss is right, this village has harvested a lot of grain," the other wild thief also showed a sinister smile as he looked at the villagers and the gray ground covered with gray grass and trees, "Our harvest this time will definitely be great, Boss." ”

"Hey, of course, there are shrine maidens in this village," looking at the shrine maidens in white clothes and red dresses on the edge of the rice fields in the distance, the Rakshasa Ghost Kansuke also showed a grim smile, "It's much better than the ones we plundered before, the village is full of hungry villagers." ”

"Let's go, little ones, let's go back and meet our people," Standing up, the Rakshasa Ghost Kansuke dragged the other two wild thieves, looked at the villagers who were beginning to return to the village again, and sneered, "During the day, they burned the straw on the land, then, after dark, I, the Rakshasa Ghost Kansuke, will turn this village into a sea of fire!" ”

Hearing the words of the Rakshasa Ghost Kansuke, the two wild thieves also showed a knowing evil smile.

The three wild thieves who came to reconnoiter the situation left the mountain forest proudly, but whether it was the leader Rakshasa Ghost Kansuke or the two wild thieves under him, they didn't notice that they were originally here to conduct covert reconnaissance, and all their actions were seen by others.

After they left, a young man dressed in a gray-white coat and with short gray-white hair came out from behind another large tree.

Looking at the backs of the wild thieves gradually moving away in the mountains and forests, Shang Yang shrugged his shoulders casually, originally just noticing that there seemed to be someone hiding here, but when the Rakshasa ghost Kansuke reported his name in the conversation with his subordinates, Shang Yang gave up his plan to end up here with the three wild thieves.

"Rakshasa Ghost Kansuke ......"

Repeating the name softly, Shang Yang shook his head, it was actually this person......

Without caring about letting the Rakshasa Ghost Kansuke lead his men away, Shang Yang also turned around and left the mountain forest slowly.

In the village of Kaede.

After burning the straw in the fields outside the village, the people in the village also returned to their own homes to go about their own affairs, and there were still many things to prepare, and in a few months, the cold winter was coming, and winter, for the people of this era, it was the season when if they were not careful, they would be killed.

Kikyo had returned to the shrine before to confirm the barrier on the Jade of the Four Souls, and here, the merchant sheep who had returned to the village for a walk also happened to notice a half-demon of the dog clan.

A half-demon with two canine ears was lying on a pile of straw piled up in the village, facing the sky on his back, snoring and sleeping, and a few children were curiously surrounding him, observing Inuyasha sleeping

It's very rare that this guy didn't take advantage of the fact that Kikyo was not at the shrine today, and he didn't have the idea of fighting the Jade of the Four Souls. However, this is also something that cannot be helped, yesterday, when the people of the village were harvesting rice, in order to show how good they really are in front of a group of village children, Inuyasha was very happy for a while, not only in a very short time, carrying the rice harvested by the people of the village, and delivering the rice from house to house, but also, for a whole afternoon, Inuyasha carried several children on his back, running around in the harvested rice fields, jumping around.

Originally, it was nothing, but last night, several cannon fodder monsters with no IQ sneaked into the village, causing Inuyasha to have to teach them to be demons one by one with the Iron Claws of Scattered Souls, and they didn't sleep well, so they lay on the straw pile and fell asleep in broad daylight.

PS: This is today's update~ Anyway, have you forgotten who the Rakshasa ghost Kansuke is? Rakshasa Ghost Kansuke, this wild thief, is the guy who burned the ghost spider into that mummified guy in the original book, and in the next chapter, the predecessor of Naraku, the source of a qiē tragedy, the ghost spider-kun should also appear~

Then, in the new week, I will trouble everyone to continue to recommend votes to support ~ So, everyone, we will see you tomorrow ~
