Chapter 343: Iron Rat
The sea at night.
If it were the old days, it must have been extremely peaceful, even a little lonely.
However, today is different.
Today, on the seashore of Scarborough Town, there are many, many people.
"Young master, let's dock now."
Monk Zhiguang looked at He Mao Anping and said to him.
By this time, their boat was only a short distance away from the small town of Scarborough, and the boats in front of them were already about to sail to the place where the ferry was moored.
"Hmm."
He replied.
The first ship soon docked.
"Dao Chief, let's go."
He Mao Anping looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.
Now that the boat has stopped, just go down and it will be the land of the small town of Scarborough.
"Hmm."
Chen Beibei and Xia Mu walked down first, and if they walked in front, they could lead the way for He Mao Anping and them.
That's the case.
For them, it should be more reassuring.
Because, this place, for Kamo Anhei, is a completely unfamiliar place.
Someone with it.
It's a completely different feeling to move forward with yourself.
"Young Master ......"
After Chen Beibei stepped off the boat, he stood on the land of Scarborough Town, and did not go forward immediately, but turned his back to Kamo Anping and called him, as if he wanted to say the same as him.
"Dao Chief, what's wrong? Can I help you? ”
He Mao Anping looked at Chen Beibei and asked him.
At this time, He Mao Anping, Sanye Ji, and Monk Zhiguang all stopped and stood quietly behind Chen Beibei.
's eyes also fell on Chen Beibei's back.
"The town of Scarborough is inhabited by real locals, however, there are some other people in this place......"
Chen Beibei paused.
The down-and-out middle-aged man he had seen on the broken boat at the ferry port flashed in his mind, and he looked at the people of the Hemao clan with a timid gaze.
"So...... Please promise not to hurt those people! ”
Chen Beibei continued.
The people of the Hemao clan were brought by Chen Beibei, and for those wanderers in Scarborough Town, it was not something they wanted to see.
A wanderer who lives in the small town of Scarborough.
In a sense, they have been cut off from their past, and all they do now is to live......
"Dao Chief, don't worry. We're not going to force them out of here, and we're not going to kill people casually. ”
He replied.
Chen Beibei has lived on Xiaotulu Island for a period of time, and he still has some understanding of the people of the Hemao family.
They are simple by nature and not aggressive.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Beibei will help them.
"Oh well. Young Lord, please follow us into the small town of Scarborough. ”
Chen Beibei said.
Chen Beibei and Xia Mu walked side by side, while He Mao Anping, Sanye Ji, and Zhiguang monks followed closely behind, and as for the other He Mao people, they did not go ashore now.
After all.
This place is still completely foreign to them.
Naturally, they still have to come here to find out first, and there are relatively few people walking like this, even if there are other people living in Scarborough Town, they will not be frightened for the time being.
Most of the houses in Scarborough are low wooden houses, and of course, because of the beach, some are sea sand houses.
Gives the feeling.
It's very dilapidated and backward.
But.
In the eyes of Hemo Yasuhei and Mitsuhahime, this is not the case. After all, the place where they used to live was a place that was hundreds of years behind modern society.
Not even electricity, let alone something else modernized.
"It seems that it is indeed a good place."
Yahei Kamo said as he walked.
In the small town of Scarborough, the simple houses that are vacant allow them to live temporarily without being exposed to the sun and rain.
This is for them.
That's enough.
Everything after that can be built with your own hands and hard work.
……
Qingmang Mountain.
A red rat poked its head out of the grass and burrowed into a crack in the yard.
"Squeak Squeak......"
Red rats make slight noises.
Gu Won Bird, who was resting against the yard, keenly caught the sound of the red mouse, and Gu Won Bird opened his eyes slightly.
After all, it's just the sound of a mouse.
Gu Houniao didn't care too much about it at the moment, after all, rats are almost everywhere in the world.
"Red ...... Red rats? ”
Although Gu Xuaniao was a little suspicious that he had seen it wrong, his right hand was instinctively placed on the umbrella sword at his waist.
It should be that Gu Yu has never seen a red mouse.
Unbeknown.
It's something that people have to be wary of.
"Squeak Squeak......"
The red rat burrowed into the yard, and when he saw the bird, he immediately turned around and slipped out.
"Is it a youkai?"
Gu Huoniao subconsciously chased after him.
For this kind of strange thing, Gu Xuaniao still can't sit idly by, this is not her style.
After all.
If that red rat is a youkai.
Then, it is possible to leak the news that Gu Yuniao is in the wooden house of Monk Zhiguang.
Chen Beibei asked Gu to keep the bird in hiding, and when Yuzao was in danger, he showed up to help Yuzao get out of trouble.
Out of the blue.
It is very necessary.
After all, the person who can put Tamamo in danger should be very scary.
As soon as Gu Hou Bird jumped out of the courtyard wall, he saw the red mouse that was about to burrow into the grass, and Gu Hou Bird pulled out his umbrella sword.
The tip of a steel umbrella pierces a red mouse.
The rat turned into a wisp of red smoke, drifted away with the wind, and disappeared directly in front of the bird.
"It seems that the person before capturing Tamamo has arrived!"
Gu Xuanniao said with a cold face.
……
Night.
The sporadic lights made the night even more deserted.
Even in the middle of the night, there was still a dim light streaming through a few open windows......
Chen Beibei and Xia Mu took He Mao Anping and they had already walked through the entire Scarborough Town, and now Scarborough Town was already familiar with a general situation for He Mao Anping.
"Young master, let the clansmen go ashore."
Monk Zhiguang looked at He Mao Anping and said with some excitement.
The town of Scarborough is now inhabited by only a handful of homeless people, who pose no threat to the Kamo clan.
This place is for them now.
It's a great place to be, because safety is the most important thing for them right now. It is not the comfort of the environment, or the convenience of life.
Only if you can guarantee safety, everything will come slowly.
Monk Zhiguang is still very clear about this.
"Yes, Master Zhiguang."
He replied.
After looking at Scarborough Town, He Mao Anping was also very satisfied, of course, even more so Mitsuhahime.
Before.
Sanye Ji has been to Scarborough Town alone.,Now it's the second time I've come.,There's still a familiar feeling in my heart.。
Especially when passing by that meatball shop.
Sanye Ji also deliberately glanced at Xia Mu, and couldn't help but smile secretly, after all, Xia Mu was captured by her from there.
The owner of the previous meatball shop.
At this time, she was sitting on a chair and was a middle-aged woman, and her clothes also felt a little dirty.
The owner.
I was also stunned by the medicine of the three leaves.,Now that I'm awake.,It's just looking at the three leaves in a daze.。
And can't remember where I saw her.
The Hemao clan went ashore in an orderly manner, and on the first night they slept only in the open space of the ferry.
The next day.
When the homeless people who got up early found out about the Kamo clan, their eyes were full of shock.
Of course.
And timidity and fear......
Where they lived, so many people came quietly, and so suddenly, which they couldn't have imagined.
"They found us ......"
On the face of Monk Zhiguang, the smile of the past appeared, loving, and approachable.
Resting for the night in the open space of the ferry port was suggested by the monk Zhiguang, because in this way, it would make it easier for the homeless people living in the small town of Scarborough to accept them in their hearts.
This is to keep the agreement with Chen Beibei.
It is also to make it easier for the people of the Kamo clan to survive in the outside world.
After all.
Although the town of Scarborough is inhabited by some homeless people, these homeless people are not flowers and trees that cannot speak.
If they are killed.
It might be very simple.
Drive them away.
It's just as simple.
But.
Doing so will have some bad consequences.
The people of the Hemao clan are still only outsiders, and if they come, they will kill or drive away the homeless.
So.
Such an approach would undoubtedly label the people of the Hemao clan as brutal.
The outside world is huge, not a small town of Scarborough, if it is just a small town of Scarborough, then it is no different from their small dirt road island.
Monk Zhiguang knew that if their Hemao clan wanted to truly integrate into the outside world and survive for a long time.
So.
Now the image of the people of their Hemao clan in the eyes of outsiders is very important.
At least.
It is an image that can be accepted by outsiders.
"Who are you?"
A daring homeless man asked, his body trembling.
It was evident that he was afraid of the people of the Kamo clan, but it was also evident that he did not want to give up his position in this place.
Monk Zhiguang stood up from the ground, and then slowly walked towards the homeless man.
It wasn't until it was very close that it stopped.
This is a distance where you can hurt each other, and at this distance, you will make each other feel dangerous, but if the danger does not happen.
It creates a feeling of "the other person doesn't want to hurt me".
"We are the Kamo clan, and now we have to leave the place where we used to live, and now we want to live in this place......"
Monk Zhiguang looked at the homeless man and said slowly.
The homeless man glanced at the people of the He Mao clan behind Monk Zhiguang, and although there was still fear on his face, he still mustered up the courage to say, "This is our place." ”
"What do you need...... It's food, right? ”
Monk Zhiguang said.
"How about let's live here, how about we provide you with endless food?"
Monk Zhiguang continued.
The homeless man did not answer Monk Zhiguang immediately, after all, the current Monk Zhiguang seemed to be standing on the same position as him and negotiating with him.
He.
Seem...... Qualified to refuse. or agree......
Now.
Even if he's a bum.
He has also taken on a great responsibility for the future of the other homeless people and his own future in Scarborough.
Although their future.
It's just living, or dying......
Behind.
Dressed in mud and short-sleeved white floral dress, Nuo Sheng hid behind her mother.
Also as a wanderer.
They are more vulnerable than the homeless who are men.
If it weren't for the help of other homeless people, they would have starved to death shortly after they arrived in Scarborough Town.
Endless food......
The homeless man standing in front of Monk Zhiguang swallowed his saliva, and when he turned around, he clearly saw a dirty girl wearing a small white floral short sleeve, and her eyes flashed with a longing light.
Refuse?
Agree?
"How do I know if you're talking about ...... It's true? ”
The homeless man standing in front of Monk Zhiguang licked his dry and chapped lips, and his throat was very dry when he spoke.
"I'm a monk."
Monk Zhiguang looked at the homeless man in front of him with a loving face and said.
Whether it is Monk Zhiguang's appearance, or his voice and tone of voice, or his aura, these all make people feel that he is trustworthy.
"That'...... All right. ”
The homeless man said with some stupeficity.
Probably he didn't know why he would say such a thing. However, the words are indeed what he said.
That's what he really thinks in his heart.
If.
Don't worry about food, how nice it would be!
……
Red rats, weaving through the trees.
Behind the mouse.
He was followed by a white-haired old man and a dozen men dressed in black, who were just hurrying on the road, and no one spoke.
Iron rat at this time.
He was leading them to the sleeping place in front of Tamamo, a dark cave with no light in it.
Even if it's a hot summer.
In places where there is no light for a long time, there is still a cold feeling.
Now.
Tamamo is sleeping in such a place......
When the iron rat found Tamamo, it only stood in the distance and looked at it a few times, and it did not dare to approach Tamamo.
Because.
Iron rats can feel it.
Tamamo is unlike any other youkai, it gives people an incomparably mysterious feeling, but it makes people afraid to approach it.
That kind of fear.
It's like the feeling of the body falling into an ice cellar, and even the body will become sluggish because of it......
