Chapter 250: The Coming Winter
When Shang Yang and Kikyo took the children of the villagers to play for a while and stopped to rest, the villagers who had finished harvesting the grain in the dry rice field also drove their cattle and pulled wooden carts full of rice out of the dry field.
"Ah, Miko-sama, thank you so much for taking care of our children," the middle-aged villager in the lead said to Kikyo with a grateful face as he watched the villagers take their children away, "Otherwise, today's harvest would not have been so easy." ”
"It's okay," Kikyo said a little softly, looking at the children who were running towards their parents with cheers, "I had a lot of fun with the children, too." ”
"Haha, that's really great," the leading villager couldn't help but laugh when he heard Kikyo's answer, "Then, Mikome-sama, we'll go." ”
After saying that, the villager turned around and greeted the children happily, "Come, children, come and say goodbye to the shrine maiden." ”
After hearing the villager's words, the children also scrambled to wave goodbye to Kikyo happily.
"Goodbye, Sister Kikyo!" "We'll play together next time! Sister Kikyo! "Let's go home first~! Sister Kikyo! ”
"Ah~" Seeing the children say goodbye to themselves, Kikyo also showed a faint smile and beckoned to the children, "Go back......"
"Brother Shangyang, goodbye!" "See you next time~! Brother Shangyang! "Goodbye, Brother Shangyang."
While saying goodbye to the bellflower, some of the children also took the initiative to wave goodbye to the merchant sheep leaning against the tree with a rice stalk in their mouth.
Hearing these farewell words, Shang Yang also smiled and raised his right hand and beckoned to the children who were returning home with their families.
And at this moment, a certain Inuyasha with a bundle of rice on his back and two children on his back also ran like a gust of wind to the villagers who had returned to the village, and with the rice and two children, he jumped and rushed towards the village under the surprised eyes of the villagers, and his smug voice still remained in the air.
“…… Hey, little guys, how's it going?! Uncle Ben is amazing~! ”
Seeing Inuyasha, who had completely carried away, leap into the village and run into the village, Kikyo shook his head slightly, and turned his gaze to the pale yellow upland rice fields in front of him, which were basically only rice stalks, and frowned slightly.
The gentle north wind lifted her long jet-black hair, and the white sandalwood paper that tied up her long hair sounded softly under the blowing of the north wind, obviously it was early autumn, and in the breeze, she could feel a trace of chill.
Seeing this scene, Shang Yang also straightened up, left the trunk of the tree he was leaning on, and slowly walked to the side of the bellflower, his eyes swept over the pale yellow dry rice fields blown by the slight north wind, and spoke leisurely.
"It's going to be cold tonight winter."
Hearing Shang Yang's abrupt words, the witch was silent for a moment and whispered.
“…… It's going to be cold. ”
Seventy miles away from the village of Kaede, on a desolate and empty plain.
More than a dozen people wearing all kinds of armor and clothing, and holding various weapons in their hands, with fierce looks, rode tall horses, and ran on this desolate eastern land.
"Boss! This winter, it's going to be exceptionally cold! Behind one of the fastest riders, the man who was also chasing on horseback shouted to the man running in front of him on horseback, "If we rob a few villages without pain, as in previous years, we will have a hard time this winter!" ”
These people are the most vicious thieves who roam the land of the East.
Hearing this, the wild thieves who were also galloping behind them also shouted.
"That's right! Chieftains! If it goes on like this, the winter will not be easy! "Boss! It's really not the way to go on like this! "Boss! Let's kill all the villages we pass through on the road, and take away all the things we can bring, so that we will have a comfortable winter this year! ”
"Stupid!" Hearing the words of his subordinates, the leader of the wild thieves who led the gallop turned around and scolded angrily, "Loot and kill all the villages?!" No kidding! That will definitely attract the attention of the nearby city lords, and maybe they will send generals and soldiers to surround and suppress us, do you want all of us to die?! ”
"This ...... Then, Chief," the thieves had nothing to say when they heard the leader's scolding, and one of them turned his mind and asked in a loud voice, "what do you say we should do?!" We all listen to you! ”
"That's right! We all listen to the chief! ”
"Humph! Listen to me," the leader sneered at the noise of his men, "That's easy!" ”
"Listen to me, little ones! Seventy miles away, there is a village called Kaede Village! It is said that there is the protection of the witch, and if there is the protection of the witch, that village must be much stronger than the one we robbed before, the village is full of people who are dying of hunger! This winter, we will pick such a village! ”
"Don't worry! Little ones! Follow me Rakshasa Ghost Kansuke, you will never go hungry! ”
Hearing the words of the leader Rakshasa Ghost Kansuke, all the wild thieves also became excited and shouted in unison.
"Oooh! Long live the boss! "So what are you waiting for, boss! Let's go and kill that village! "Kill them all!"
Seeing the wild bandits' momentum soaring, shouting to kill the village, the Rakshasa Ghost Kansuke couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, revealing a grim smile.
"Hey~ little ones! Today, let's try to get as close as possible to the maple village. Wait until night, let's find a cave in the mountains and sleep well, tomorrow during the day, I, the Rakshasa ghost, will personally lead a few people to reconnoiter the situation in that maple village, and when everything is safe, late tomorrow night, we will collectively kill that village and kill everyone! Snatch everything you can! ”
Speaking of this, the Rakshasa Ghost Kansuke couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick the corners of his chapped mouth, and the original grim smile completely turned into a hideous sneer, and he commanded loudly.
"Little ones! You must remember that you must move fast! After killing all the people we could see, and robbing all the things we could, we quickly left, and then, with a fire, burned the village to the ground. ”
Hearing the boss's bloody order, more than a dozen thieves who were murderous and evil, and who had already had an unknown number of lives in their hands, couldn't help but cheer excitedly.
"Oh oh oh!"
After doing countless evil things, killing and robbing are already part of the lives of the wild bandits, and these wild bandits are also the only thing that is not lacking in this world full of famine, war, and barrenness.
