Chapter 32: The Ghost Family
"Woohoo! (Want to get some more?) The giant grizzly bear asked kindly as he looked at the stunned Kyoshiro with a cute expression.
"Wow, ahh I really met a wild bear in the forest! Kyoshiro slowed down for a long time before he came back to his senses, and he screamed as soon as he could.
"Mom, yes, yes!" Kyoshiro didn't even care about his luggage at this time, and ran forward with a puff of smoke, screaming as he ran.
"Oh, are you going to help with it too? I'm always bothering you...... Come to my house for a meal! ”
Shiina Yuya and the old woman hurriedly turned their heads when they heard Kyoshiro's scream, and found that it was a huge grizzly bear, and the old woman was obviously used to it, but walked forward and touched the head of the grizzly bear that was obediently lowered, and whispered to it while touching.
"Really...... There really are bears! Shiina Yuya also opened her mouth wide, her face was incredible, and what surprised her the most was that the gray giant bear seemed to be an old acquaintance with the old woman.
"Wow! …… Yes? Kyoshiro screamed as he ran forward, but he was secretly happy in his heart that he finally had a chance to run.
Just after less than a second of joy, Kyoshiro suddenly stopped, and he looked ahead with wide eyes, as if he saw something terrible.
"What's wrong? Kyoshiro? Shiina Yuya, who came from behind, found Kyoshiro standing alone, looking ahead motionless, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
Kyoshiro was obviously immersed in a huge shock at the moment, his mouth was wide open, but he couldn't say anything, his eyes stared straight ahead.
Shiina Yuya didn't wait for Kyoshiro's response, she walked to Kyoshiro's side and stood side by side with him with a suspicious expression, and as expected, she was also stunned for a moment.
"Really...... It's beautiful! Shiina Yuya couldn't help but mutter.
"Blooming ...... Cherry blossom trees? In this season that is not the flowering season? Kyoshiro finally came to his senses, and he said with some surprise.
Directly in front of the two of them is a cherry tree in full bloom, with a thick and sinuous trunk, and the branches that overflow and sloping out are full of pink and delicate cherry blossoms, and countless cherry blossoms are clustered together, forming a natural barrier, like a spirit guarding a small wooden house built next to the tree.
"Really...... It's so beautiful! Yuya Shiina looked at the magnificent cherry blossom tree in front of him and said from the bottom of his heart, especially in this season, it is so rare to see such a delicate and natural beauty!
"If you can't get used to the mountain roads, you must be very tired! That little dilapidated house under the tree is my house, so come in and take a break! ”
At this time, the old woman also came over, she turned her head and sent an invitation to Yuya Shiina and Kyoshiro, who were still stunned, to enter the house, and then walked slowly to the cabin under the cherry blossom tree with her hands behind her back.
"Wow! That's all there is to heaven, right? I don't want to go to ...... yet," Yuya Shiina sighed as she sat at the old woman's house, looking at the simple but warm furnishings of the house.
"That's right! It's so comfortable to live here, and there is such a beautiful cherry blossom tree! Kyoshiro on the side also echoed, and he turned his head again to look at the cherry blossom tree outside the window, which was really a rare gorgeous scenery!
"Oh...... Do young people think the same way these days? Drink it hot! The old woman took out the teapot and poured a cup of tea for each of the two guests, and she said as she poured the water.
"Every place here is filled with all the memories of me and my late wife...... We...... They met for the first time under that cherry blossom tree, and they fell in love with each other at first sight...... The old man was seventeen years old and I was fourteen......"
The old woman sat down after pouring the tea, she looked at the spirit card placed in the center of the room and said to Shiina Yuya and them, it is really a long memory, now think about how fast time flies, decades have passed in the blink of an eye, and the old man has been gone for several years......
"That's right! The mountain mentioned by the big men when they were entangled in the town just now...... Is this the mountain? Who are those little thugs? Kyoshiro suddenly remembered something, and he asked curiously.
"Those guys? Those people are the ruffians who have recently run rampant in this area, called ...... The ghost head family! It seemed that she had been resentful for a long time, and the old woman's originally gentle face became gloomy when she mentioned these people, and she gritted her teeth hatefully with tea in both hands and said.
"They secretly killed the rebels one by one with extreme cruelty, and they were a group of ruthless and ruthless evil people who were eager to expand their territory! Among them, the most vicious are the three swordsmen known as the 'Three Colorful People' on the rivers and lakes! ”
"I don't know how many townspeople and woodcutters have been sacrificed under that brutal slaughter, and they simply don't treat people as human beings! By the time I noticed this, I was the only one left on the mountain! But ......"
The more the old woman spoke, the more angry she became, her eyes were about to spew sparks, these people were so hateful! Not to mention embezzling property, you will also put people to death!
"I will never leave this place full of memories of my wife and me! Even if I had to lose this old life, I would never let them succeed! The old woman raised her head suddenly, clenched her fists and said with a firm face, her eyes also became fierce at this moment, and she looked like she would rather be broken than broken.
After listening to the old ......man's oath, Shiina Yuya's expression was also a little sad, and she didn't know how to comfort this lonely old man who was still being coerced.
"Oh...... It seems that my name was mentioned just now! Does this mean Cao Cao? Hehe......" At this moment, an unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded from outside the house.
"Who?" Kyoshiro and Shiina Yuya were taken aback, and the moment they heard the voice, they turned their heads to look out the door and asked in unison.
"Huh...... No one...... The three people in the room turned around at the same time, and they looked out of the room with wary expressions, but the man did not appear for a long time.
"Excuse me...... Are you looking for someone? ”
Just as the three people in the room were focusing their attention on the door, the polite and polite voice of the man suddenly came from behind them.
"Huh? …… How so? Shiina turned his head in a panic, only to find that the man had been standing in the house at some point.
"First meeting! I am the white crow among the three colors, please take care of me in the future...... Today I'm here to inform you of something! I saw a young man with a delicate face tied to the head of a cockscomb, and said expressionlessly.
