Chapter 10: Jiang Yu (3)
The villagers of Beiwang Village did not notice any changes in the village.
The activation of the rune array is imperceptible to ordinary mortals.
There were no candles in the Hibiscus Pavilion tonight, but the Moon Spirits could see the rune array on the wooden pillar glowing.
The breeze blew through the bamboo forest, and the bamboo leaves spread all over the backyard of the Hibiscus Pavilion.
The clothes in the center of the rune array were taken away.
Jiang Yu held her clothes in her arms and shuttled through the village where she had been walking for sixteen years, with candles lit in every house, eating dinner, fighting, laughing, and complaining, as if the threat of the appearance of the monster had long been diluted.
Two guards from the village came up to them, patrolling with torches, and Jiang Yu wondered if they could really resist if the monsters invaded.
"Isn't this the Demon Slayer of the Hibiscus Pavilion?" The guard asked, "Are you still setting up at such a late hour?" ā
"It's hard work for you and the demon slayer, don't be too tired, rest more." Another guard said.
"Thank you for your concern, the rune array has been activated, and now the village is safe, and grandma's work is complete." Jiang Yu hugged his clothes tightly, controlled his emotions and said.
Without waiting for the guards to react, Jiang Yu continued to move forward.
Jiang Yu walked past the statue of the goddess at the entrance of the village, where it was one of the critical points of the barrier, and the wooden pillar was also emitting a faint light.
Jiang Yu bowed his head all the way and arrived at the door of Shi's house.
Jiang Yu knocked on the door, and the servants of the Shi family came to answer the door.
"Excuse me... I want to find Mrs. Shi, is she at home? Jiang Yu asked.
"What's wrong Jiang Yu?" Shi Yang asked behind him, "Come in." ā
Jiang Yu was pulled closer to the house by Shi Yang.
It's not too late and Yuemei is setting up the dining table and preparing for dinner.
"I'm back, let's eat." Yuemei saw Shi Yang walk in first, and said happily.
"Mother, I met Jiang Yu outside, and she said she wanted to find you."
Jiang Yu walked out from behind Shi Yang.
Yuemei saw the clothes in Jiang Yu's arms, glanced at her husband, and the two knew what was going on.
"Uncle, aunt, just now... Iā" Jiang Yu said intermittently, as if the embankment was about to burst in the next moment.
Yuemei hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Jiang Yu, "Child, good child, don't be sad, there are uncles and aunts here." ā
Jiang Yu heard this, and after all, he couldn't help but let out a sad voice.
In the dining room of the Shi family, Jiang Yu's crying swirled, and everyone who heard it was worried.
"Jiang Yu, what's the matter, it's okay to see you during the day." Shi Yang asked anxiously, he couldn't see Jiang Yu's grievances.
"Good boy, haven't you eaten for a day, sit down and eat, and fill your stomach to have strength." Yuemei wiped Jiang Yu's tears and pulled her to the dining table to sit down.
"Dad, mother? What the hell is going on, tell me quickly! Shi Yang said loudly, "Who bullied Jiang Yu?" I'll give her a head. ā
"You have it, you can't control this matter." It's not too late to say, "You let Jiang Yu have a good meal first, and then go to the kitchen to get an extra set of dishes and chopsticks." ā
Shi Yang saw that Jiang Yu was still in tears, and he didn't dare to ask, so he went to the kitchen to get dishes and chopsticks as his father instructed.
Yuemei takes care of Jiang Yu very much, and has been serving Jiang Yu vegetables, and she has been enlightening Jiang Yu before it is too late.
Only Shi Yang couldn't understand their conversation at all, only that Jiang Yu couldn't cry now, which made him feel very unhappy and his heart was blocked.
Jiang Yu looked at a bowl of dishes, holding chopsticks but had no appetite, and the words of Uncle Shi and Aunt Shi were like the sound of cicadas, shuttling in his ears.
Jiang Yu will only raise his chopsticks and take two mouthfuls of rice into his mouth when reminded by the two adults, as if chewing wax and swallowing it.
At this time, another piece of meat came in the bowl, it was a piece of chicken breast, which Jiang Yu loved to eat on weekdays.
Jiang Yu raised his eyes and saw that it was Shi Yang.
Shi Yang spooned another piece of egg tofu into Jiang Yu's bowl, which Jiang Yu also loved to eat.
After a meal, Jiang Yu only ate less than half a bowl, but ate both chicken breast and egg tofu.
After eating, it's not too late to let Shiyang take a bath and rest.
Yuemei took Jiang Yu to the study.
As soon as Jiang Yu entered the study, he saw that the study was full of demon slayer books.
Jiang Yu was about to ask a question, but he got a nod from Yuemei.
"Grandma, she's been arranging." Yuemei said, "She told me that she was going to send you to inform Beiwanggu about the matter. ā
"I went to Beiwanggu, so who will guard the village?" Jiang Yu said.
"I'll take the position of the village demon slayer." Yuemei said, "Although my talent is not as good as yours, my grandmother has also expanded my spiritual spring with spiritual power. He also taught me how to maintain and expand the rune array. ā
Only then did Jiang Yu know that grandma had done so many things behind her back.
"Jiang Yu, you don't need to worry about things in the village, Uncle Shi and I will guard the village, this is our home." Yuemei comforted, "You have a more important mission, and the fate of our human race is in your hands. ā
"But I don't know if I can do it." Jiang Yu said.
"Of course you can, I remember when you were two years old, the plague, you had a high fever for five days and five nights, but you didn't cry, and by the sixth day you were fully recovered, and from that time on, I knew that there was nothing you couldn't do." Yuemei poured a cup of tea and handed it to Jiang Yu.
"I'll give you the map, don't worry about the disc on the road, and I'll send someone to escort you." Yuemei looked at the map and arrangement on the table.
"No need to send someone, I can go alone." Jiang Yu's words surprised Yuemei, "There will be thieves, monsters and beasts along the way, and I will be faster and more secretive when I move alone." ā
"Then you should at least bring this with you." Yuemei handed a wooden plaque to Jiang Yu.
"What is this?" Jiang Yu asked.
"It's something that will allow you to go back to the village." Yuemei replied.
Yuemei let Jiang Yu sleep in the study.
Jiang Yu stayed awake all night, until an hour before the morning rooster announced the time, Yuemei handed Jiang Yu the prepared packing box.
Jiang Yu thanked Yuemei not too late, and then embarked on the journey to Beiwang Valley.
Jiang Yu returned to the Furong Pavilion and got the spear he used, and a bundle of red rope tied around his waist.
When I walked back to the entrance of the village, I saw a person standing next to the statue of the goddess - Shi Yang.
"I'll go with you." Shi Yang said.
