Chapter 37: The Frightened Woman

"Hello." Butterfly Shinobu also had this plan, and she greeted with a smile.

"Your Excellency, are you from outside?" The woman, who looked like she was in her twenties, asked cautiously.

"Yes, we were looking for a companion to enter this valley, but we didn't expect to get lost, and it took a lot of effort to come to you, and now we don't dare to wander around."

Butterfly Shinobu said: "I haven't found my companion, and I don't know if I'll get lost if I'm walking around, we want to continue to look for my companion, can you show us the way?" ”

"I, I can't, the valley, the god of the valley won't ......," the woman said, stopping suddenly.

The god of the valley, does it really exist? Lu Feng always thought that the shrine was just for show, and it was even more convincing that there were evil ghosts hidden in the shrine.

"Don't be afraid, the gods don't punish those who don't sin." Butterfly Shinobu said.

"My Buddha is compassionate, the Buddha will not be disgusted by you telling the truth, but will encourage you to tell the truth, please tell the truth." Grief Mingyu Xingming clasped his hands together, like a butterfly ninja, and didn't seem to understand what the woman meant.

Only Lu Feng, a person who does not believe in God at all, thinks that the woman's words are very strange.

"You just said that the god of the valley, does the god of the valley really exist? Right here? In this village. Lu Feng asked.

"Yes, sir." The woman said with certainty.

At this time, even the sorrowful Mingyu Xingying was surprised, and he and the butterfly ninja glanced at each other, how could the gods come down to the earth? It's not right at all, they just thought they were scared because of their faith.

"So, where is the god of the valley?" Lu Feng asked, "Is it in the shrine?" ”

"I don't know, but it will come to the shrine, the village chief said, this time it's my turn, I'm scared, I'm really scared, all the people who went in, all, didn't come out, and they never appeared again." The woman said suddenly.

Lu Feng and the three of them looked at each other, where did the people who entered the shrine go? It should be dead, if what the woman said was true.

"Have you seen that someone in the same clothes as us came in with a katana?" Grief Mingyu asked.

"Nope."

The woman replied in the affirmative, and then suddenly begged: "You should be a samurai, listen to my father, you are an official, can you ask the lord above for intercession, I don't want to, I don't want to ......"

As the woman said this, someone suddenly roared in the woods behind her.

"Keiko, you're going to die, why are you talking to strangers from outside, get over here." It was a man, extremely angry, with a scimitar in his hand, the kind that cut rice, not a military weapon.

"Dad, Dad, I'm just talking to them, ah~"

As soon as the woman named Keiko said a few words, her father stepped forward, grabbed her by the hair, and dragged her into it with all his might, quite violently.

"Hey, let go." Lu Feng pressed one hand on the hilt of the Nichiren knife and threatened.

"My lord, don't draw your sword." The woman's father immediately let go of his hand, this side is still in ancient times, in his worldview, the samurai is still a privileged class, and he is really afraid that Lu Feng will come and cut him with a knife.

", there's nothing to do with you here, we still have something to ask your daughter." Lu Feng's hand did not leave the hilt, putting tremendous pressure on the man.

Finally, the other party gave his daughter a vicious look and walked out of the forest angrily.

"It's okay, we'll protect you and take you out of here." Butterfly Shinobu said, "Even your father can't hurt you. ”

"Thank you, thank you, adults, I, I'd better go back, Mom and Dad will be angry, and everyone in the village will be angry." Keiko lowered her head and looked scared, turned around and followed her father away.

"There's a problem." Lu Feng said, "Let's go over and have a look." ”

"Maybe there will be clues." The two of them nodded, and the three of them followed from a distance.

Keiko's family lived near the farmland on the outskirts of the village, a small number of farmland that was not terraced, and the three of them were still more than 30 meters away when they heard the sound of beating and scolding.

"Tell you to go find those people, didn't you hear what the village chief said, you will kill us." Keiko's father was beating her hard, and he was still scolding.

"No, Dad, I don't want to go to the shrine, I don't want to serve the god of the valley." Keiko cried out.

"You are going to die, you dare to say such blasphemous words, do you know that you will kill us, and the god of the valley will not forgive us." Her father scolded and beat harder.

"Ah, I don't want it." Keiko screamed.

"It's not going to stop yet." Lu Feng rushed over in a few steps, pushed open the other party's door, and scolded angrily.

"What are you doing?" Butterfly Shinobu stopped in front of Keiko, and Keiko's father was so frightened that he quickly retreated several meters away.

"Everyone, please don't block the affairs of our village, it's none of your business." The village chief didn't know when, but walked in from the outside, and said with a gloomy face.

"Would you like to come with us?" Butterfly Shinobu asked Keiko.

"I, I ......"

Keiko glanced at her father and the village chief before she whispered, "No, I, I, you better leave it alone." ”

Lu Feng frowned.

"Then we'll leave first." Grief Mingyu Xingming clasped his hands together and said.

"Please stop abusing your daughter, I'll be tempted to draw a knife." Butterfly Shinobu approached Keiko's father, smiling, but in an eerie tone.

"Yes, yes." Keiko's father was frightened and nodded repeatedly.

"This threat is useless."

The three of them left Keiko's house, and Lu Feng muttered: "That woman is the key, she is very scared, she is threatened by something and she doesn't dare to talk to us, and she doesn't dare to go with us." ”

"Absolutely, yes, and the people she said about entering the shrine won't come out again, I'm very concerned." Butterfly Shinobu said, "According to her, this time it's her turn, and we should keep an eye on her." ”

"I seem to have heard the words shrine and service just now, is this girl going to serve the god of the valley for the rest of her life, if so, I guess it's a sacrifice or something." Grief Mingyu said.

"Sacrifice to evil spirits?" Lu Feng thought of this all of a sudden.

"Her life is really miserable, in order to prevent tragic things from happening, we must save her." Sorrowful Mingyu Xingming suddenly burst into tears, and folded his hands.

"It's possible." Butterfly Shinobu said.

"I'll stay here, you two go to the shrine." Lu Feng groaned.

There are no such plots in the original book, anyway, Lu Feng hasn't seen it, this village is very weird, and the breath of evil ghosts here is not the smell of Tanjiro, but an intuition of his, so it's not absolute.

So far, Lu Feng's knife has not shaken, indicating that there are no ghosts hiding in the village for the time being.

According to Keiko, the god of the valley will come to the shrine, and it should only appear then, so the importance of the shrine is not high, but Keiko's woman is very important.

Lu Feng really wanted to know what would happen to Keiko tonight, and how her family, and it seems, the village chief and the rest of the village would treat her.

If possible, Lu Feng wants to secretly meet Keiko again at night, and there are some things that need to be asked.

"Mr. Lu Feng, be careful, although there are no evil ghosts at the moment, my consciousness tells me that this place is very dangerous." Butterfly Shinobu said.

"In case of crisis, meet at the shrine." Grief Mingyu said.

"Okay."

Lu Feng separated from the two, he didn't wander on the main road, he left the village directly, out of the sight of the villagers, and then sneaked into the village under the cover of the woods.
