Chapter 282: It Feels Like I'm Helping Poverty

Kikyo, a legendary shrine maiden.

When Kikyo takes over the task of guarding the Jade of the Four Souls, he uses his own strength to block endless monster attacks.

From the time she guarded the Jade of the Four Souls and was not captured by any monsters, she was already a legend.

However, there is a lack of pen and ink descriptions of the small village where Kikyo lives.

Because Kikyo lives here, the villagers also have to face the same danger as Kikyo, Xia Ruo remembers that in the animation, when there are monsters who want to snatch the jade of the four souls, these villagers will also stupidly take the farm tools in their hands to fight the monsters.

However, for these civilians, the Jade of the Four Souls, and the monsters, these should all be things that have nothing to do with them.

Thinking of this, Xia Ruo knew how he could recruit Kikyo.

……

"Bandaged, be careful not to splash the wound, I'll come and change your dressing in a few days."

"Thank you, Kikyo-sama."

The injured villagers thanked them, and although their wounds were bandaged, they still looked weak.

"Hmm," Kikyo nodded.

Kikyo was busy with everything, the sky was already dark, and he packed up his medicine box and prepared to leave.

"Let's go," Xia Ruo originally thought that Kikyo was going back, but unexpectedly, after Kikyo handed over the medicine box to Kaede, he was ready to go outside the village.

"Xia Ruo, I'm sorry, you go back with Kaede first, I have to rearrange the enchantment outside the village, the enchantment that was arranged last time may be too long, so it is not strong enough, this time I will rearrange one," Kikyo said with his bow and arrow on his back.

"Okay, then you get busy first."

Since Kikyo said so, Xia Ruo had no choice but to go back with Kaede, he wanted to follow Kikyo, but Kaede was a child after all, and he also needed someone to take care of him.

Xia Ruo followed Kaede to where she and Kikyo lived.

The place where Kikyo lives is a small dilapidated shrine, and I don't know how many years it was built, so it can't be compared to the big shrine that Tsubaki inherited.

Xia Ruo took a look at the house, and as far as the eye could see, he couldn't find even a decent piece of furniture, it didn't look like a witch's mansion at all, but it looked no different from the homes of ordinary villagers.

The only advantage is that it's pretty neat.

It was already dark, and even though there was an oil lamp lit, the room was still a little dim.

"Legendary shrine maiden, do you live in such a place?" Xia Ruo thought a little sadly.

The living conditions here are indeed very poor, Feng on the side is eating the snacks Xia Ruo brought her, looking at Feng's little face that seems to be malnourished, Xia Ruo always has a feeling that she is coming to a poor area to help the poor.

Kikyo's living conditions are too pitiful.

"Brother Xia Ruo, you haven't eaten yet, today you are a guest, I will cook for you, usually when it is only me and my sister, I am cooking."

Kaede suddenly realized something, put aside all the snacks Xia Ruo had given, and then began to light a fire and prepare to cook.

"Usually you cook, doesn't your sister know how to cook?" Xia Ruo asked with some curiosity.

"That's not the case, my sister is usually too busy, she always has to deal with a lot of things, she has to treat the villagers, and she has to expel the monsters, and sometimes, the monsters will also attack from the night, and my sister doesn't have enough time to rest every day, so I have to help my sister."

Kaede explained to Xia Ruo.

"I see," Xia Ruo nodded, it seemed that Kikyo usually had to work harder than he imagined, and the witch was not an easy job.

Feng began to make a fire to cook, and Xia Ruo could think that this poor family could not come up with any decent food to entertain guests.

As Xia Ruo imagined, Feng made a pot of stewed paste, and in the paste, a few slices of radish floated on top.

"Do you usually eat this?" Xia Ruo looked at the pot of mush, frowned, and asked.

"Well, in recent years, there has been a great drought, and the harvest is not good, so I can only take out these foods, Brother Xia Ruo must be the young master of a noble family, so I shouldn't eat this kind of thing much, but I think it tastes good, Brother Xia Ruo, you can taste it."

Seeing Xia Ruo frowning, Feng's tone suddenly weakened, as if she was entertaining guests with such food, she also felt very embarrassed.

Xia Ruo picked up the spoon and tasted it slightly.

In the mouth, he couldn't even taste the seasoning, and the taste was not very good, for a chef like Xia Ruo who came out of a small Chinese master, there was a feeling that was difficult to swallow.

"Well, it's delicious," Xia Ruo said with a smile looking at Kaede.

Feng breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Xia Ruo say it was delicious, and a smile appeared on her face again, "Yes, I knew it was delicious, and my sister also said it was delicious." ”

Xia Ruo stared at the paste in the pot and sighed, the Warring States Period was a perennial war, and it was understandable that there was not enough food, and in the original Inuyasha, there were many clips of people starving to death because of famine.

"Is eating this stuff really nutritious? I don't know how the bellflower persevered, eat this kind of thing, consume it a little, and get hungry. ”

Xia Ruo finally knew why Feng was so thin and small, how could eating this kind of thing be nutritious.

After all, Xia Ruo is a modern person, and when he sees food, he will subconsciously think of nutrition, but in fact, for people in this war-torn era, when eating, he will not consider the so-called nutrition at all, as long as he can fill his stomach.

Xia Ruo thought that there were still some spare ingredients in his private space, meat, vegetables, and some seasonings, Xia Ruo took them out.

"Dangdang, dang!"

Xia Ruo made a small jingle movement and took out a huge piece of ham.

"I came to see Xiao Feng today, in fact, I brought the ingredients here, just to cook a big meal for Xiao Feng."

"Wow!"

Feng was very cooperative, his eyes flashed, in Feng's eyes, Brother Xia Ruo seemed to be able to conjure a lot of food very easily.

Moreover, it is true that she has not eaten meat for a long time.

"Brother Xia Ruo, it's amazing!"

"Of course."

Xia Ruo directly re-set up a pot and began to make hot pot for Feng to eat, with seasonings, and soon, the rich aroma wafted out.

……

By the time Kikyo rearranged the barrier, it was already midnight.

It's just that the lights are still on in her residence, and in the house, there are still the sounds of Kaede's laughter and music from time to time.

Xia Ruo and Feng seemed to be having a good time.

It's been a long time since Kikyo has heard Kaede smile so happily.

When he opened the door, Kikyo saw Feng and Xia Ruo eating hot pot together, and then Xia Ruo played the guitar for Feng on the side, this room has not been so lively for a long time.

"Sister, you're back, you have a delicious hot pot today," Kaede looked at her sister and shouted happily.

"Good work," Xia Ruo also said to Kikyo.

Kikyo looked at his sister and Xia Ruo, who were waiting for him at home, and nodded.

"Well, I'm back."
