Kaede Village, more than a month later, late autumn season.

The climate of early autumn is gradually disappearing, replaced by the late autumn season with a somewhat cold north wind, the world on the ground is even more barren and desolate, in the mountains and forests, the yellowed large woods are completely dried up, losing the last trace of vitality, one after another with the cold and somewhat biting north wind drifting down on the desolate and barren land, the large weeds on the ground have completely turned into earthy yellow dead grass, and there is no longer any tenacity and tenacity.

The activities of the beasts in the mountains and forests are also much less, and winter is approaching, and the beasts in the mountains and forests are trying to minimize their activities to preserve their bodies, so that they can have enough bodies to survive the cold winter.

The wild animals in the mountains and forests have reduced their activities, and so have the people living in the village, and since the late autumn season, the villagers of Kaede Village have been preparing more carefully for the winter, and each family is constantly spreading yellow straw and straw on the roof, thickening the thickness of the roof, carefully inspecting every beam in the house, and if any of the beams are cracked, then the pillar will be removed and replaced with a new strong beam, and food and dry firewood are also necessary.

In this Warring States period, the coming severe winter is also a major reason for the lives of the people living on this land, the sudden cold climate will freeze to death for those who lack food and clothing, the majestic snow is more likely to collapse the houses of the villagers, and the winter snow may also block the roads connecting the villages, turning the villages into isolation in the winter.

The dangers brought by the harsh winter, the people of Kaede Village are also very clear, in this era, it is not too easy for people living in a small village like Kaede Village to spend the winter safely, although they have the protection of the shrine maiden, but the villagers of Kaede Village are still cautious about the coming winter, as they have done in the past.

Kaede no Village, a shrine.

The shrine maiden, still dressed in a white dress and a red dress, with long black hair like a waterfall tied with a bellflower tied with white sandalwood paper, holding a broom, carefully cleaned the cobwebs and dust from the corner of the shrine.

The festival at the end of autumn is about to take place, so it's no surprise that the shrine will be thoroughly cleaned, and it's time to check that the shrine's structure is still solid.

Kikyo was using a broom to sweep away the cobwebs and dust in the corners of the beams, and Shang Yang was naturally caught again, and he was also wiping the offering table and shrine in the shrine with a rag with a nonchalant face.

More than a month ago, after Shang Yang casually dealt with the Rakshasa ghost Kansuke who wanted to wander to Kaede Village to rob, it seems that since before, the robbers who wanted to rob Kaede Village have disappeared too much for no reason, and there is no idea of bandits and robbers coming to attack Kaede Village recently, and the monsters living in the nearby mountains and forests rarely try to enter Kaede Village again.

In the past month or so, in addition to going out with Kikyo, Shang Yang went to the surrounding villages to help expel some little monsters and cure some diseases, and more was doing something to help the people in Fengzhi Village.

Anyway, the people in this village are also used to a certain big red fire rat fur, in the village elusive dog demon of the storage zài, Shang Yang's words because he has always been in the shrine, and Shang Yang's appearance is not any different from humans, plus the bellflower doesn't know why, and did not specifically explain to the people in the village that Shang Yang is also an inhuman anomaly, most of the villagers have always thought that Shang Yang is because he was rescued by the witch last winter, following the witch's attendants.

And the words of a certain dog demon, at the beginning, for the Inuyasha who appeared in the village, the people in the village were indeed a little afraid that he would endanger the people in the village, but Kikyo also explained to the people in the village that Inuyasha was not an evil monster and would not hurt people, and the people in the village gradually let go of their worries, and after that, unconsciously, they established a good relationship with the children in the village, and helped the people in the village a lot because of Shang Yang's repeated instigation and instigation. The people of the village also accepted Inuyasha, and when the people in the village were busy, the adults even took the initiative to let the children go to Inuyasha to play.

Just like now, my sister Xiao Feng, who was supposed to clean the shrine with Sister Kikyo, was let go by Kikyo because she already had Shang Yang's help, and went to play with a group of children in the village and Inuyasha who were now basically sleeping in the straw pile in the village.

"Whew...... Almost," after wiping the last corner of the altar, Shang Yang casually put the table cloth away, moved his arm slightly, turned his face and asked casually, "This should be fine, right?" ”

"Thank you for your hard work," Hearing this, Kikyo also put down the broom in his hand and thanked Shang Yang softly, "Thank you for your help." ”

"It's okay, after all, this is where I live," Shang Yang replied casually, looking at the inside of the shrine that was almost cleaned by himself and Kikyo, "It's good to help you clean up here." ”

Speaking of this, Shang Yang paused slightly, looked at the witch maiden who was as usual with an indifferent expression, thought about it a little, and took the initiative to speak casually.

"Well, Kikyo, if it's none of my business, I'll go to the village first."

"In the village?" Hearing Shang Yang's words, Kikyo showed a slightly puzzled expression, but he was also quickly relieved, "Go find Inuyasha?" ”

"Ah, it's okay to talk to him," Shang Yang shrugged his shoulders and explained with his eyes half-open, "I feel that he has been a bit degraded during this time, and I can't just watch him change from a dog demon to a dog." ”

Hearing Shang Yang's explanation, the calm Kikyo also showed a sudden look, she knew what Shang Yang was talking about, and it was strange to say, since the beginning of autumn, Inuyasha was simply too peaceful, not only did he not come to the shrine once to fight the attention of the Jade of the Four Souls, he was originally elusive, and now he almost stays in the straw pile in the village every day and sleeps, it looks like he wants to hibernate.

This also has to be seen to see if there is a genetic mutation of a canine demon that suddenly changes from a canine that does not need to hibernate to another animal that needs to hibernat......

Seeing Kikyo's expression of understanding, Shang Yang also nodded slightly, and waved his hand casually while turning around and walking towards the outside of the shrine.

"Then I'll go around the village first~"

Hearing this, his expression had already recovered, and the bland bellflower nodded slightly.

However, when she watched Shang Yang walk out of the shrine, walk down the stone steps, and completely disappear from her sight, the witch breathed a sigh of relief, and her originally calm and indifferent expression also seemed a little weak.

Holding on to the wooden pillar in the shrine, Kikyo frowned slightly, her own physical condition, of course she understood, just not showing any flaws in front of others, it was already a lot of effort, although the weakening of spiritual power was not very strict, but just relying on the current physical condition, she couldn't do more......

According to this situation, after winter, my own strength may not be enough to purify the Jade of the Four Souls......
