Chapter 24: Draw the Sword

There was still no sign of rain, and the old woman who usually liked to preach the exploits of the fox god in the village in the evening had not been seen for a long time.

The second well had already been excavated, and after Yaeji had determined its location, it was handed over directly to the patrol team in the village. He himself stayed at the shrine to teach Sakura, and sometimes practiced swordsmanship.

Sakura is still an underage child, and her body flexibility is already much better than that of adults, and for more than a month, her flexible body has allowed her to perform the fifth stage of Sakura's slash more naturally.

Sakura is still trying to fall Sakura's fifth stage and fuse with the instantaneous body flash, looking at the way it dances, there are already seven or eight points of sincerity, and it won't be long before she can try to control the spirit knife Sakura blowing snow.

Yae Ji is very pleased with this, seeing her sister chan become stronger in the next step of her teaching, which is quite a sense of achievement.

"Whew~"

Yaeji holds his hands on the ground, his back and legs straight, and his elbows bend, rise again, bend ......

"Brother, what are you doing here?"

Yae Rin sitting in the bunk was curious.

"Break through the level limit."

"What?"

"Uh...... To break through the shackles of physical potential is to exercise the body and improve endurance. ”

"Is that so?" Rin didn't know what to do.

Yae Ji recalls the otherworldly inheritance he got in his dream, and he is now doing an action called "push-ups". Next, he will do sit-ups, squats, running 10km and other exercises.

The knowledge of the other world indicates that this will effectively improve the strength and endurance of all aspects of the body. In other words, it will become stronger.

It's just that these things seem to have side effects.

In his dream, he watched a man in a yellow leotard with a shiny scalp punch a mountain!

It was a powerhouse beyond Yaejuji's imagination, and the exercise method he used was very popular with Yaeji.

But what are the biographies of those strong people in the other world called?

Anime? Novel?

"Whew~"

Yaeji, who did the last push-up, came to Rin and lay down, holding his hands behind his head.

"Rin, help me press my legs."

Rin was stunned, and hurriedly stretched out two small hands to press Yaeji's ankles, "Is that so?" ”

"Hmm."

The waist and abdomen were forced, and one got up neatly.

One for two...... Nine......

A smile appeared on Rin's childish little face, "It's great, I can help my brother too!" ’

My heart was excited, and the little hand that pressed on my ankle was slightly hard.

"Ahem~"

Suddenly, Rin's face turned white, and her little hand quickly withdrew from Yaeji's ankle and covered her mouth.

"Rin!"

Yae Ji hurriedly got up and gently rubbed Rin's back with his hand to give her a good breath.

Rin let go of the small hand covering his mouth, and the eyes of Yae Ji were stinged with black blood in the palm of his hand.

The girl was much haggard, and Yaeki took Rin's little hand and wiped her palm with a handkerchief, and black blood soaked into the cloth.

"Brother."

Yaeki listened carefully.

"Isn't Rin useless?"

"How could it be ......?"

"I have to trouble my brothers and sisters for everything, and I can't even do something as trivial as cooking."

"Don't overthink it." Yae Ji put her arm around Rin's shoulders and asked her to lean towards her slightly, "With me and your sister, Rin just needs to recuperate in peace." Didn't my brother say that? To find the best doctor to treat you. ”

"But the doctors from the big city ...... too"

"Then I'll go find a doctor in a bigger city." Yae Ji interrupted Rin's words, "Okay, rest well, I'll go and decoct the medicine for you." ”

After letting Rin lie down to rest, Yaeki stood up and turned to walk out the door.

The handkerchief stained black by blood was clenched in his hand, and the expression on Yaeji's face became a lot more gloomy.

Warehouse.

"Rush grass rush grass. What about rush grass? ”

Yaeji rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, and searched for a long time before finding two pieces of withered yellow herbs from a small box.

"What is the proportion of mixed herbs?"

Half a day.

Yae Ji walked back to the house, and at this point in time, Yae Sakura was learning how to become a shrine shrine maiden from her father, and the work of feeding Rin the decoction medicine could only be left to him.

Yae Ji Pan sat aside and blew on the decoction in the small wooden spoon.

"Come, take a bite and see if it's hot."

"Hmm."

The original ruddy lips have turned cherry white, and now Rin looks like a porcelain doll that shatters at the touch of a button.

Rin's health was good and bad, and when he was in the best physical condition, the three siblings even climbed up the back mountain to enjoy the cherry blossoms.

It's not the first time I've coughed up black blood, and there have been doctors from the big city who have come to the village, but even those doctors can't tell what kind of disease Rin is dying, so they can only prescribe some solid medicines.

"Whew~"

Except for the sound of the wind blowing on the heat dissipation from the Yae Ji, there was only the sound of Rin quietly drinking medicine.

"Dada~"

There was a rush of footsteps outside, Yae Ji frowned, if he heard correctly, the footsteps should be towards ......

"Click! ——”

The door was directly violently opened, and a middle-aged man who didn't have much impression of Yaeji was looking frightened.

"Lord Ji! Oh no! Nozawa: They've run into a youkai! ”

"Youkai!"

Yaeji stood up instantly.

He ran to the knife holder where the knives were kept, and picked up the knife that his father had given him.

"Let's go! Take me now! ”

"No...... Don't you inform the priest? The man was at a loss and didn't know what to do.

"It's too late, it's useless for my father to go there, just take me there!"

As soon as Yae Ji stepped out of the threshold, he turned his head and looked inside:

"Rin, you rest first."

Yae Rin, who was confused by a series of things, was stunned, and watched Yae Ji rush away.

Rin struggled to prop herself up with her arms.

"No, I have to tell my father."

......

"Have you ever seen what a youkai looks like?"

"I ...... I ......" the man who was running panted and inhaled wildly, "It looks like a giant wolf!" We wanted to go into the city to buy some supplies, but we didn't expect to run into that youkai as soon as we entered the mountains! Kimura, Saburo and Kuro, they're all dead! A few of us ran separately to escape. ”

"I ...... I happened to come across a patrol and they ...... They said let me go to the shrine and look for ...... Looking for Ji-sama! ”

Seeing the panting man, Yae Ji frowned deeply, "Tell me which direction it is!" ”

"Higashiyama....... Over the hill! You can see them by walking down the trail! Appear...... Now I'm not sure. ”

After the man pointed in a general direction, Yae Ji's eyes were slightly condensed, and he overtook the man in three or two steps, and rushed towards the specific position.

The man followed for a dozen more steps, and when he looked up, he could only see a dark figure in front of him.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Yae Ji suppressed his restless heart, excited, excited, and since he had killed the corpse demon, the blood that had been silent boiled again.

All I could think about was the bear demon that devoured strangers.

The strange purple crystals reflect pink light in the sunlight, and they are particularly beautiful in the sunlight.
