Chapter 19: Encounter the Demon Again
"No, I have a reason why I have to go to the Divine Capital." Levi replied.
Even the mountain blowing next to her showed a surprised expression, it was the first time she saw Levi say such a long sentence, and Levi's reply to him before was only a short sentence.
The old man stopped asking, but kept chattering, saying things like "don't go to death" and "isn't it good to live".
"Don't mind, my father has always been like this." The woman came to Levi's side and bowed slightly, because listening to this big belly, she made this action very wasteful.
Yamabuki looked at the woman's big belly, and his eyes looked very curious.
The woman just smiled, and did not get angry at Yamabuki's slightly rude behavior, but said slowly, "We escaped from Hibara Village, and at that time my husband broke off to protect us. My father seems to have been chattering since he escaped. ”
After she finished speaking, there was a very faint sadness in the corners of her eyes, but it was well concealed.
"Hey! Anyway, you must have come from the west, what is the situation over there? The old man came over and asked.
"Demons are starting to appear over there, and a small Suga village there has been destroyed by demons, and it was the swordsman who killed them." Yamabuki said in a weak voice.
"What, there are demons in the west too?" The old man stood up abruptly and hurriedly pulled the woman next to him.
"Big girl, let's run, run overnight...... I can't stay here anymore......" He hurriedly picked up the cow and packed up his things in a panic.
I didn't even have time to eat the food that had just been made.
"Let's run first, you guys run too, Izumo Country is hopeless, go to other countries, or go all the way west." The old man left in a hurry, leaving a small package when he left.
The old man who was leading the ox left in a hurry, and through the faint light of the fire, Levi saw that his back was very stiff. It's like wheat that has been bent over.
The old man is now the only breadwinner of their family, and he still has to live with his eldest daughter and the unborn grandson. I don't know if I will encounter demons on the way, but more likely, other people who have fled.
Yamabuki went up and picked up the package, opened it and looked at it, and it was kelp tied into a knot.
"Swordsman, look, it's Kunbu, Kunbuye." Yamabuki seemed to be very happy to pick up the package and come to Levi's side, and then carefully observed that the iron kettle in front of Levi was also kelp, and he immediately smiled even more happily.
Just now, she was only arguing with the old man, and she didn't realize that the old man's eldest daughter had already boiled a pot of kelp.
After obtaining Levi's consent, she happily picked up the kelp with chopsticks made of tree branches, and even though it was scalded, she still ate it very happily.
She didn't seem to care at all about the danger of the Shendu that the old man had said.
"My lord, this is kombu, which my family used to eat only occasionally during the New Year. My mom used to make kombu rolls with wild vegetables and rice balls, which were the best things I've ever tasted. Yamabuki picked up a piece of kelp again, as if thinking of something, and a happy smile appeared on his face, as if he was enjoying the most delicious thing in the world.
Even though Levi didn't reply, Yamabuki was still eating happily, and a small dimple appeared on her young face.
"Every year during the Chinese New Year, my mother would give me more kelp, and she said that kelp is good for my body and can make me healthy." Yamabuki said, looking in the direction where the old man left, "That old man is really a good man, I hope he can be safe." ”
"Perhaps."
The next day, Levi headed east again. According to the conversation with the old man who met Pingshui yesterday, he realized that he was very close to God.
At most, it is not more than a hundred miles to reach the Shendu.
And according to what he has seen and heard along the way, the closer he gets to the demons in Shendu, the more cholera becomes, and the small village where he woke up at the beginning has not yet been invaded by demons, and Kosuga Village has been killed by demons for no more than a day, and what you see behind is the ruins of a few days ago, the kind where even the demons have left.
It's like a shockwave that spreads outward with Shendu as the center.
This time, Levi still traveled lightly, but Yamabuki seemed to have a lot of things with him, an iron kettle and a bundle of kelp. It was as if she hadn't eaten enough in a long time, and she had fallen asleep with a giggle in her arms last night.
Maybe it was because of the cold weather, she still coughed from time to time, and Levi turned her head as if she was smiling at him like no one, as if she was passing the test.
Then Yamabuki hit Levi's back headlong, and the iron kettle behind her also hit her on the head.
She tilted her head, about to ask Levi, when she was dragged behind her.
The strong smell of blood covered the audience, and figures in all directions surrounded Levi. They were almost all dragging sacks of different sizes, and the smell of blood escaped from the sacks, and the black-red stained blood stained the sacks red, dripping continuously, dragging a long trail of blood on the ground.
"Close your eyes." Levi whispered.
Yamabuki closed her eyes obediently, the smell of blood irritated her nose, and she coughed violently. The body began to tremble.
"He's the great swordsman that Lord Bladezo said? Doesn't it look good? There is still a little girl, what, is it here to nurse the child? The little girl's screams must have been very beautiful. The demon slowly lowered the bleeding sack in his hand, and the corners of his mouth cracked.
It was a man covered in bandages, more than three meters tall, but his whole limb was extremely thin, like a bamboo pole, his hands were almost down to his knees, and his fingers were nearly half a meter long.
"Don't be careless, I heard that he killed Hyakme. Wherever Hyamu has collected enough eyeballs, he has already turned into a big youkai. Another demon reminded.
"Heh, Baimu, a guy who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Even if he becomes a big demon, his strength is probably all used to escape for his life. ”
The bandage ghost laughed, his original head twisted, and slowly pulled the bandages off his body, and Levi noticed that there was a half-foot-long slit in his body, located in the middle of his chest, which was covered with exposed fangs similar to those of piranhas.
The bloody sack fell to the ground, and the heads rolled to the ground, and the faces of each of them were filled with horror and despair, even though the eyes widened and the jaws almost twisted, it was hard to imagine what kind of torture those people had received in their vicinity before they died.
"Don't think of me as the guy who is afraid of death in Baimu, even if I don't become a big demon, I can completely crush him countless times, the strongest ghost in the ghost clan!"
