Chapter 35: The Black Scorpion Strikes

The next day, the wind was mild and the sky was light.

"From early morning work to now, please let me take a break?" Kyoshiro lowered his head and picked up a piece of firewood from the ground, then looked up at the sun that was already three poles up, turned his head to make a pitiful expression, and asked.

"Nope." The old woman who was swaying Jiro's legs under the big tree behind Kyoshiro and resting with her eyes closed was very neatly refused.

"Hey, don't be lazy! Hurry up and collect firewood! The old woman opened her eyes and suddenly found that Kyoshiro had not picked up a firewood for a long time, so she quickly scolded Kyoshiro.

"You're so cruel! The old woman ...... "Kyoshiro had no choice but to continue to bend down and pick up firewood with a helpless face, this is simply coolie, there is no room for negotiation at all."

"What are you talking about, that girl said that you only have this kind of use, and I am willing to call you is already your third life lucky!" The old woman rolled her eyes at Kyoshiro and said arrogantly while urging him.

“…… Then you can ask the Night Maiden to help me, right? Kyoshiro muttered unwillingly while burying his head in the firewood.

"The little girl said that she had to prepare in advance in order to deal with the sudden attack of the ghost head family!" The old woman looked up at the sky, and then said casually.

"That woman must have gone digging for treasure...... Kyoshiro was noncommittal, and he thought silently to himself as he picked up the firewood.

"Ah...... Ahh At this time, Yuya Shiina, who was digging for treasure on the mountain with her head down, suddenly sneezed, and she looked around blankly, not knowing what was happening.

After a long time, the old woman finally came out of the shadows under the tree, and she divided the firewood that Kyoshiro had picked up into piles and tied them up separately.

"Okay, that's it for today!" After tying it up, the old woman patted the dust on her hands, turned to Kyoshiro, who was still working behind her, and said.

"Ah...... Good! Tired...... I'm exhausted! When Kyoshiro heard this, he gasped and rested against the tree, which was much more relaxed.

"Drink some water!" The old woman took out a water bucket from the side and handed it to Kyoshiro, who was already tired and sweating, and said thoughtfully and thoughtfully.

"Wow...... Appreciate! Kyoshiro wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, he reached out and took the water bottle, and said with some flattery.

After saying that, Kyoshiro raised his head and drank the water, wow, it was so refreshing, and his dry throat was moistened at once.

"Huh? What's wrong? Is there anything on my face? Kyoshiro wiped the water stains from his mouth after drinking, but found that the old woman had been staring at him, so he asked curiously.

"I didn't ...... It's okay, I'm a little sorry to say it, but I saw you...... I unconsciously remembered my dead son...... who left without even accompanying his parents, alas, what a stupid son! ”

The old woman's expression suddenly became sad, and she walked forward with her hands behind her back and her head bowed, as if she remembered the sad past of many years ago.

"Old ...... The old woman ......" Kyoshiro looked at the old man's lonely and thin back, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Old woman! If you have anything else to do, don't hesitate to ask, as long as I can do it! Kyoshiro's head suddenly became hot, and he rushed to the old woman, grabbed the old woman's shoulder, and promised sincerely.

"You...... It's so good! The old woman was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Kyoshiro to say this, and said with some tears in her eyes.

"Then move all of this to my house!"

However, this warm picture lasted for less than a second, and the old woman suddenly pointed to the bundle of firewood behind her with a normal expression, and said lightly.

"Huh? One...... It's a bit ...... to move so much for one person" Kyoshiro was startled, he pointed to the bundles of firewood with a panicked face and said, that is the fruit of his labor in the morning, dozens of bundles!

"Oh, the young people who have been so good lately!" The old woman deliberately pretended not to hear, and she turned her face and praised with a wicked smile.

"Hehe, I'll go first for that old woman!" The old woman walked in the direction of home with her hands behind her back, and she waved her hand at Kyoshiro, who was stunned in place, without looking back.

"The ......"

"Over to you!"

"......" Kyoshiro stretched out his hand with an embarrassed face and tried to keep the old woman, but was directly interrupted by her, he stood in place and watched the figure of the old woman gradually moving away, and was instantly dumbfounded.

"Yes...... Damn it...... I think this should be done by the bear! Kyoshiro reluctantly tied all the dozens of bundles of firewood on the ground, and then carried it on his shoulder, well, it was really heavy!

"Ah...... It's gone! Kyoshiro had just carried the firewood on his back and was about to straighten his waist, when he noticed that a piece of firewood had accidentally fallen from his back to the ground.

"Women are really scary, are they like that?" Squatting down with difficulty to pick up the firewood that had just fallen, Kyoshiro said to himself.

Just as he was about to straighten up and stuff the firewood in his hand again, a fierce murderous aura suddenly came from the front.

"Wow! What the? Kyoshiro threw away the firewood in his hand with a panicked face, and the whole person lost his balance because the firewood behind him was too heavy, and he sat down on the ground at once.

"Needle...... Needles? Kyoshiro suddenly glanced at the firewood he had thrown on the ground, only to find that there were four slender steel needles tied to it, and he exclaimed in surprise.

"You're lucky to be able to dodge all my steel needles!" A deep male voice suddenly sounded from behind Kyoshiro.

"But you'll only have to live until now! Uncle, I am a black scorpion one of the three colors, and I came here today to take your dog's life! ”

The person who came was a tall and strong man with dark skin who called himself a black scorpion, and behind the strong man were three younger brothers who were holding the scene, all of whom held weapons in their hands, and looked at them with a fierce face.

"Three...... Sancaizhong!? I...... I'm just a passerby! Can you please let me go? Kyoshiro's face changed drastically, he didn't expect to come so soon, he took a step back and tried to plead.

"That's not going to work! Only by slaughtering you can you thwart the crow's spirit! Kill me! ”

A gloomy smile on the face of the black scorpion, let you go? That's such a good thing! He also pointed to the arrogance of behaving well in front of Yan Ma Ye after going back this time, killing the white crow, he waved his hand and ordered the three people under him to rush towards Kyoshiro.
