On the rolling hills are clusters of lush ancient trees, and the grass beside the trees is like an emerald green blanket, one by one, and the fine wildflowers are mixed in the green grass, adding a bit of vividness.

Near the foot of the mountain, under a towering tree, a young man with a medicine box stopped to look at a sign that had been put up not long ago.

"Hmm, is the legendary Tianzi number bounty for the wanted criminal's Ghost Eye Crazy Knife?"

It was a young man of about twenty years old, wearing a blue and white gown, which had been washed a little white, and a long knife hanging from his waist.

"It is characterized by a five-foot long knife in his hand, a Taijitu emblem on his back, and a ghost-like crimson ...... on his face?"

"The charges are...... Kill a thousand!? Hmm, that's terrible......"

"What is the bounty price for this head, let me see...... A million taels!? ”

The magnitude of the crime and the amount of the bounty offered by the man made the young man with the medicine box on his back a little smacked, but this obviously had little to do with him as an ordinary medicine seller, and soon the young man turned around and continued on his way.

"The market is quite good, it's really enviable."

Although he had already walked a long way, the young man with the medicine box on his back seemed to be a little resentful about this, and he thought for a long time: "But since you can pay such a huge sum of money for that kind of guy's head, doesn't the government want to add a few more doctors to reduce the number of innocent undead?" ”

You must know that four years have passed since the Battle of Sekigahara, but the war has not changed the status quo at all, and everyone is still living a miserable life.

"Alas...... When will there be true peace in this world......"

The young man sighed softly at last, and he stopped, looking up at the still clear sky, as blue as if it had been washed with water.

"Ah, I'm so tired! Take a break here. ”

"Hey." Under an old tree with relatively rich shade, the young man bent down and unloaded the heavy medicine box he had been carrying all the way from his shoulder, and instantly felt a sense of relief.

The young man sat down with his back against the tree, put the five-foot long knife hanging from his waist next to the medicine box, and then took out a clay pot specially used to hold wine from his arms, put it to his mouth and took a small sip, and an indescribable comfort spread from the tip of his tongue to his whole body.

Putting down the clay pot, the young man leaned against the tree and looked up at the sky through the gaps in the lush branches and leaves, his eyes were clear and clean, and he was slightly distracted at the moment, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

Perhaps it was due to the exhaustion of the body and mind after a long morning's journey, and after a while, the young man fell asleep with his hands on his pillow.

I don't know how long it took, but a faint coolness suddenly rolled up in the air, as if it was wind blowing from the forest in the distance, empty and distant.

The young man awoke suddenly, sat up straight in an instant, first looked left and right, then turned his head to look at the path leading to the forest behind him, and the keen instincts he had cultivated after years of living in the deep forest told him that there must be someone there.

But when he looked that way, there was no one on the side of the road, only a few alarmed birds that had made a clear chirp and flew far away into the depths of the dense forest.

"Hmm......"

Just when the young man thought that his judgment had been wrong, a slight moan of a woman suddenly came from behind his right, and the young man became vigilant again, and he quickly turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound just now.

I saw a graceful woman lying on the ground on the right side of the road, with a bamboo hat on her head, hanging down a heavy veil, covering most of her face.

Although she can't see the woman's face clearly, her back is even and slender, revealing her delicate shoulder blades and gentle jade-like neck, which makes people feel moved when they look at it from a distance.

"Hey, how are you? Does it matter?" The young man's instinct to heal and save people prompted him to get up from where he was and run to the woman who had fallen to the ground.

"It's okay, it's just that the old problem has flareed up......" With a thin and soft voice, the woman finally turned her face slightly.

The young man was stunned for a moment, he only felt that the whole world seemed to freeze at this moment.

It was a delicate face as bright as a flower and as warm as jade, even if the woman's face was slightly pale at the moment, it was difficult to hide her beauty.

With the woman's breathing, the plump // full // beautiful chest // mouth also slowly rose and fell, although she lay there silently without the slightest movement, the curve of the body involuntarily revealed a suffocating temptation.

The young man selling the medicine looked at her blankly, and for a moment he forgot to breathe.

He was looking at the woman at the same time, and the woman was also looking at him, her thin and long eyelashes trembling slightly, like the wings of a butterfly spreading in the wind.

"That's a big deal, come, it's more comfortable to lie down, I'll treat you now."

The young man shook his head, and finally came to his senses, and he walked briskly back to the tree where he had rested, took the medicine box, put it on the ground, and began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to find something.

"Huh? Treatment ......"

"Well, I'm Lang Zhong, who sells medicine, as long as you take my homemade all-purpose medicine, no matter what the problem is, you'll be fine immediately. …… Where? …… Ah, found it! ”

After a lot of effort, the young man finally took out a small tin bottle the thickness of a finger from the medicine box, and twisted a light red pill out of the small tin bottle.

"Now, let's eat." He smiled, pinched the pill with his index finger and thumb and gently handed it to the beautiful woman who seemed to have a slight heartache, and said.

"You're such a good person to take care of a strange passerby......"

Reaching out to take the pale red pill from the young man's palm, the woman's pretty face was slightly flushed, which made her more and more delicate.

"Hehe, rely on your parents at home, and rely on your travel companions when you go out! If you have a problem, you should help each other. The young man scratched his head and smiled.

"Really...... Then you're welcome! ”

The young medicine seller didn't notice at this time that the delicate lips of the woman in front of him with her head down had a charming and sly smile.

"The legendary bounty of one million taels, I'm going to accept it by Yuya, Shiina!"

The woman's voice suddenly became louder, and as soon as the words fell, a black light suddenly flashed in front of the young man's eyes, and when the focus in his eyes was realigned, he saw the black barrel of a revolver hovering quietly about an inch in front of his forehead.

The handle of this revolver was being held tightly by a hand as white as jade, and a young woman named Yuya Shiina was standing up at this moment, with a pair of beautiful legs straight and slender.

"Ah...... Hahaha, what are you kidding, you're really good at laughing......" The young medicine seller seemed to be taken aback by this sudden turn of events, and he quickly smiled, and by the way, he waved the barrel of the gun with his hand, trying to lower it from his forehead.

I only heard a 'click'.

Then there was a loud bang, and it was a bullet that burst out of the muzzle with a sharp whistle, short and clear, with a sharp sharpness that cut through the air.

The bullet grazed the young man's forehead, and then continued to rush forward, finally striking a tree trunk that was slanting out not far away, sinking deep into it.

"Wow, you're not kidding, are you!?" The young man who sold the medicine obviously didn't expect her to really shoot, and suddenly jumped up from the spot, his mouth grew incredible, and his eyes were as big as copper bells.

Shoot without saying a word, I've never seen such a fierce girl.

"It's useless for you to hide, Devil's Eye! Judging by the characteristics of my body, I would never be mistaken! You give me good enlightenment! ”

Yuya Shiina looked rather heroic with a short gun in both hands, and she loudly announced that she had fired several shots at the young man with an unknown face as a warning.

"You're getting the wrong person!"

The young man shouted loudly while jumping to dodge the bullets, his tears were almost scared out by this woman, the shots just now were obviously serious, if he hadn't reacted quickly, he twisted his body and dodged at the first time, I'm afraid he would have at least one broken leg, the beautiful woman is really not credible, ungrateful......

"Who else are you?"

"I... My name is Kyoshiro Mibu, and I am a medicine seller with love and peace in my heart. ”

The young man endured the fear in his heart, and squeezed out a harmless smile at her, followed by a river of mouths, such as a few family treasures, "By the way, my hobby is sleeping, my specialty is eating, I am twenty years old, and I don't have a girlfriend ......."

"Liar, you are a ghost-eyed knife, and the evidence is you...... Holding a five-foot-long knife in his hand, with the emblem of the Taiji diagram on his back, and his face has dark red eyes like evil ghosts, huh? Strange, the eyes are black ......"

Shiina suddenly stopped in the middle of the night's speech, and she leaned in and stared hard into the eyes of Kyoshiro Mibu for a while, and it was strange, it was clearly black.

"Die, by the way, my eyes are like stars......" Kyoshiro finally breathed a sigh of relief, trying to widen his eyes in an attempt to make Shiina Yuya see the so-called "stars" in his eyes clearly.

Shiina Yuya glanced at him with eyes like he was looking at an idiot, and then sighed lightly, she was also a little confused at this time, but if you think about it carefully, this kind of fool who sells panacea shouldn't be a ghost-eyed crazy knife that shocks the world.

"But who are you?" Seeing that she finally had the intention of letting herself go, Kyoshiro gently wiped the cold sweat that broke out on his forehead and asked out loud.

Shiina Yuya turned around gorgeously, with a full confidence on his face, and said, "Me? I'm the bounty heroine Shiina who is known as 'There are strange people in Tokaido'. ”

"I didn't hear that name...... Heard! Ah, yes, I've heard that! Thunder! Kyoshiro just wanted to shake his head and say that he hadn't heard of it, but he found that Shiina Yuya had turned his gun with a dark face and pointed the gun at him again, so frightened that he quickly changed his words.

"But then again, why do you medicine seller carry such a big knife?" Shiina Yuya made a look of satisfaction to Kyoshiro, and she glanced at the long knife that Kyoshiro had placed on the medicine box, and asked casually.

Suddenly, as if she had discovered something, her eyes staring at the five-foot-long knife in a daze.

"Are you an idiot? This kind of rag wrapped around the edge of the knife can't be used normally! Yuya Shiina reached out and took the long knife from the side of the medicine box, and found that as she could see, the place where the knife was drawn was wrapped in layers of rags that had been used for an unknown amount of time.

"It's okay, it's just a decoration for self-defense." Kyoshiro said with a smile, but he quickly took advantage of Shiina Yuya's attention to quickly take the long knife back in his hand again.

"It doesn't have to be that long......

"No, it has to be long, the image of using a long knife is cool! And in autumn, if the persimmons are ripe, they can be beaten down and eaten. ”

Kyoshiro said as he held the hilt of the knife and made a gesture of hitting persimmons from the tree out of thin air, which was as ridiculous as it looked.

Shiina Yuya rolled her eyes slightly, she was a little speechless, thinking that it was better to give up this stupid melon as soon as possible and find other wanted criminals with bounties.

"Wow, there are so many wanted criminals with bounties!"

Kyoshiro suddenly noticed that a book had fallen out of his pocket when Yuya Shiina pulled out his gun just now, and when he picked it up and opened it, he saw that it was her wanted book with a bounty.

"Hey, wait a minute, that's my bounty wanted letter, give it back to me!"

"Devil's Eye Crazy Knife, someone who is different from me, but isn't this something from four years ago, who knows if he's still alive now......"

"Wait a minute......" Shiina Yuya hurriedly reached out to grab it, but was deftly avoided by Kyoshiro's quick dodge, and at this time his skills were a lot more agile.

"Next up are the first brothers, they are such ferocious fellows, even women and children! And it's around here...... Is the bounty fifty taels, well, enough for me to eat, drink, and be merry for a while. ”

"Wait a minute, give it back to me, and take the sheep while people are not paying attention, you are really hateful like this......"

And then came ...... A hundred texts? Good cheap guy, the crime he committed was...... Eating white food? What kind of guy is this, Kyoshiro Mibu? It's an exaggerated name......" Kyoshiro said to himself with relish as he fled around to avoid Yuya Shiina's pursuit.

"Hey, Mibu...... Kyoshiro? Yuya Shiina, who was trying to retrieve the wanted book from Kyoshiro, suddenly raised his head and glanced at Kyoshiro, who had climbed up to the treetops to avoid her clutches.

The moment the four eyes met, Kyoshiro seemed to have finally reacted at this time, and he looked at Shiina Yuya with his mouth wide open, with an incredible expression.
