Chapter 6: The Awakened Woman
Ancient room.
Inugami looked at the scene in front of him, the woman was lying quietly on the bed, and the fat man was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at the woman on the bed affectionately.
Seeing the dog god breaking in, the fat man quickly stood up, and then rummaged through the cabinet in the room.
"Looking for a weapon?"
Inugami asked.
Before, when the driver left, he talked about weapons and stuff.
Although the dog god is not afraid of human weapons.
But.
Inugami didn't intend to reveal his identity as a monster, after all, the man in front of him was obviously not an ordinary ordinary person.
"You'd better stop."
Inugami instantly pulled out his own knife, and the cold blade clung to the fat man's neck.
The fat man seemed to feel the fear and finally stood still.
"What about the other three women? Where are they? ”
Inugami asked.
"They're in the other rooms."
The fat man replied.
"Why did you bring them to such a remote place? Also, they're still ...... Alive? ”
The dog god held the knife in his hand tighter, and the tone of his voice became colder.
Ever since he entered the room, he hadn't seen the woman move.
So.
At this moment, the dog god was still very worried, those women had already been killed by them.
"They're all alive, but they're just taking a drug that puts them to sleep. We didn't hurt them......"
The fat man said.
Inugami knows what the fat man wants to do to a woman, if he doesn't come.
Maybe he's got it now.
A strange man, with a strange woman, is in a house deep in the mountains.
The woman was also fed drugs that went into a deep sleep.
Although this kind of thing doesn't happen in the world of yokai, Inugami is very aware of the evils that can occur in these basic human societies.
"Give me the antidote, and I'll take them away."
Inugami looked at the fat man and said to him.
Now that Inugami is able to know what the man wants to do, Inugami doesn't want to wait any longer.
"Who are you? They came here of their own free will, where are you going to take them? ”
The fat man asked.
If these women came here of their own free will, it is not impossible to believe the inugami .
It's just that.
Now the women were asleep and could not wake up.
There was no way for the dog god to ask them.
"If that's the case, then you give me the antidote, and I'll ask them face to face."
Inugami said.
The dog god has been tracked here now, and it is impossible to leave because of a few words from the man.
"Antidote......
The fat man turned his head and looked at the woman who was sleeping peacefully on the bed, and there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
"If you don't give the antidote, your life will be gone."
Inugami looked at the fat man and said to him.
"It's okay to give you the antidote, but I have one condition."
The fat man said.
The moonlight from the window shone on the fat man's body through the window, making people look a little pitiful.
The fat man lowered his head and waited for an answer from the dog god.
"On what terms?"
Inugami asked.
As long as it's not too much of a condition, of course Inugami can agree.
After all, Inugami didn't intend to embarrass this fat man.
The dog god came here just to save these four women.
"These four women are from the other side of the sea, and you have to put them on the boat before you can give them the antidote. I don't want to see them wake up......"
The fat man lowered his head and said slowly.
"That's it?"
"Hmm."
The fat man stood up and rummaged through a cabinet near the window.
Soon.
The fat man had an extra bottle of brown pills in his hand.
"These are the antidotes, and after giving them them, they will wake up."
The fat man handed the antidote to the inujin.
Inugami opened the bottle of the antidote and smelled it, it was a strange smell that he hadn't smelled before.
"What about the other three women? Take me to them. ”
Inugami said.
At this time, the fat man looked lost, but he could only take the dog god to find the other three women.
The knife in the hand of the dog god was always on his neck.
……
Qinghe Town.
The bright moon hung in the sky, and the air exuded a cold breath.
When the three-tailed fox saw Chen Beibei again, he was obviously very happy. However, compared to before, the three-tailed fox seemed more calm, even if it was happy, it was not very out of shape.
"Master, I'll go cook for you."
The three-tailed fox said.
"No need, it will be dawn in a while, don't bother so much."
Chen Beibei said.
The three-tailed fox led the way ahead, although the appearance of the three-tailed fox had not changed.
However, the current three-tailed fox is more like a mature woman in terms of dressing.
There is no original youth and ignorance.
"Anyway, how are you doing during these times?"
Chen Beibei looked at the back of the three-tailed fox and asked her.
"In the days when the owner was away, life was really difficult at the beginning.
After all.
Chen Yan works as a teacher in a kindergarten and doesn't have much money a month.
But when I got a job, life became easier. ”
The three-tailed fox replied.
"Did you get a job?"
Chen Beibei was a little surprised.
Youkai are able to live in the human world, and the main thing is that they will not be discovered by humans and can live on their own.
The first job that the three-tailed fox found in the human world did not go well, which also led to Chen Beibei not letting the three-tailed fox try to find a new job again.
After all.
That perverted photographer still made Chen Beibei feel the real danger at that time.
"Well, it's a job as a shroud shop helper. Because many people are reluctant to do this kind of work, the requirements of the store owner are very low, and as soon as I applied for the job, the store owner directly agreed to use me. ”、
The three-tailed fox looked at Chen Beibei and replied to him.
When the three-tailed fox said these words, he had a smile on his face, and he could feel that the three-tailed fox still liked the job very much.
"What kind of person is the owner?"
Chen Beibei asked.
Although Chen Beibei felt that there was no need to be so cautious, after all, there were still many good people in this world.
But.
Because the three-tailed fox had met a perverted photographer before, Chen Beibei couldn't help but ask.
"The owner is a very beautiful woman, and the person is also very nice, the owner does not have to worry."
The three-tailed fox said.
"That's good, Chen Yan shouldn't be awake by now......"
Chen Beibei looked at Chen Yan's room, the light in the room was still on, but this was the light turned on by the three-tailed fox before.
"Probably. Chen Yan is not easy to wake up halfway at night. ”
The three-tailed fox said.
Although the three-tailed fox said so, Chen Beibei chose to go to Chen Yan's room to take a look at Chen Yan because he hadn't seen Chen Yan for a long time.
Chen Yan was brought out by Chen Beibei, even in Qinghe Town, everyone lives in the same house.
But.
Chen Beibei didn't have much time to accompany Chen Yan because of Shishen and other monsters.
In Chen Beibei's heart, he still felt a little guilty about Chen Yan.
Chen Beibei came to Chen Yan's room, Chen Yan was lying quietly on his bed, and it could be seen from the outline of the person covered by the quilt that Chen Yan's body was lying on his side.
"It's still the same as when I was a child, I always like to cover my head when I sleep in winter."
Chen Beibei looked at Chen Yan and couldn't help muttering.
Chen Beibei and Chen Yan grew up together, and their homes were not far apart.
Because the relationship between the two families is very good, they often slept in the same bed when they were children. Chen Beibei has had a special feeling for Chen Yan since he was a child, and this feeling is warm.
"Three-tailed fox, you go to sleep too. We'll go back to our rooms first, and we'll see you tomorrow morning. ”
Chen Beibei exited the room and gently closed the door.
"Chen Beibei ......"
A familiar voice sounded, this was Chen Yan's voice, even if it came from the bed, Chen Beibei could still be sure that he would not hear it wrong.
Chen Beibei hurriedly opened the door: "It turns out that you are awake." ”
"Hmm."
Chen's voice continued to come from the bed.
Chen Yan's voice sounded a little choked, as if he was hiding in the bed and crying.
"The time I left...... Isn't it too long......"
Chen Beibei asked softly.
Chen's mother left her when she was very young, and her father, who fell to his death in a dry well the year before last.
Chen Beibei can be said to be Chen Yan's only relative, and Chen Beibei left this time and stayed outside for almost a year. For Chen Yan, during this time, it should be very lonely.
Chen Beibei walked towards Chen Yan's bed, and then gently lifted the corner of the quilt.
I want to see if Chen Yan is crying.
Chen Yan hugged Chen Beibei, and Chen Beibei could feel the heat on Chen Yan's body.
Very warm.
However, relatively speaking, she had just come back from outside, and Chen Yan was holding herself like this, all she could feel was the cold.
"Chen Beibei, if you don't come back for so long, and you don't make a phone call, I'm already dead outside."
Chen Yan said with a cry.
After leaving Qinghe Town, Chen Beibei did rarely use his mobile phone.
In a lot of the time.
Chen Beibei has even forgotten the existence of the mobile phone, and the mobile phone is estimated to have been shut down a long time ago.
Chen Beibei took out his mobile phone from his pocket.
Now.
Chen Beibei felt that the mobile phone was a little unfamiliar, and it was no longer out of power.
"The phone is dead...... I didn't bring a charger either......"
Chen Beibei said.
Such a reason is reluctant, but at least it is a reason.
Most of the places Chen Beibei went to during this time were very backward places, and even gave people the feeling that they were not from this era.
In such a place, there seems to be no need for such a thing as a mobile phone.
"Let me go, wait until I catch a cold."
Chen Beibei said.
It was a winter night outside, and Chen Beibei's clothes and body were very cold.
"Okay."
Chen Yan let go of Chen Beibei and got back into the bed.
"Let's go to bed, don't wake us up tomorrow, let's sleep a little longer."
Chen Beibei closed the door of Chen Yan's room again: "Good night......"
……
There was a gust of wind in the forest, and the shadows of the eerie trees shook on the ground.
Inugami takes the four women to the beach in an abandoned cart.
The women are all from Fuso's side, which is known to the Inugami, so the Inugami intends to send them back.
The boat didn't know when it would come, and the dog god gave the antidote to the four women.
One by one, the women woke up.
"Are you awake......"
Inugami finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is it over yet?"
The woman in green looked at the dog god with a puzzled look on her face and asked him.
But soon, the woman in green seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said, "Aren't you the same passenger who is on the same ship as us?" ”
"Hmm."
Inugami nodded.
"Why are you here?"
The woman in green looked at the dog god and asked him.
"Because you were stunned by the bad guys and taken to the mountains, I rescued you."
Inugami said.
The women frowned, looking sad, as if they had heard bad news.
Inugami looked at them, his heart full of doubts.
"Alas...... I've worked so hard to get here, and now I'm afraid the reward is gone......"
"How so?"
"What now?"
Several women seemed to be in a hurry, and what they said also made the dog god scratch his head.
"What's wrong?"
Inugami asked.
The woman in green's gaze fell on the dog god, and then sighed: "We came from Fuso to earn this reward......
"Remuneration?"
"Well, the two men who came with us were kind of introducers. Every once in a while, they would introduce some women from Fuso, and we all signed an agreement. ”
The woman in green explained.
"But...... You all looked scared when you were on the boat, huh? And they didn't dare to talk to anyone else, and the two men were also weird, as if they didn't want anyone to know their secrets. ”
Inugami said.
"It's a complicated matter, we can't explain it clearly, now please bring us back to that house deep in the mountains."
The woman in green looked at the dog god and said in a pleading tone.
"You're here to make money?"
"Hmm."
Inugami seems to know something, but there are still many things that he can't figure out.
Even though.
These women make money by selling their bodies, and they don't need to travel thousands of miles to cross the sea to come here.
Not to mention taking a medicine that makes people fall asleep.
"Tell me about this clearly, and if you just need money, we might be able to help you."
Inugami said.
Although Inugami doesn't have much money, he has a knife in his hand.
This knife has been handed down from very old times, and in modern society, it can still be sold for a good price.
"Do you want to tell him?"
"No, he looks like he's just a regular ronin. Even if you say it, it's useless. ”
"I'll tell you about it."
The woman in green thought for a moment, and then said with a firm gaze, as if she had decided in her heart to take a gamble.
Bet on the man in front of him, a man he can trust!
