49. The small tree begins to grow a second time

Mei is the name given to her sister by the prostitute Taro.

In fact, there is only one 'Mei' character in her name.

Taken from the illness of their mothers.

As with the prostitute Taro, the mother also hates this daughter very much... Fortunately, every time she starts, Xiaomei is well protected by the prostitute Taro.

Hao also saw the baby girl in her swaddling clothes.

Even if it is just a baby, from the outline, especially from a pair of eyes, you can clearly perceive her perfect, beautiful appearance.

It was only when he was passing by the Rashomon River that he happened to see Taro, a prostitute holding his sister.

The boy had an extra object in his hand.

A scythe.

This is a toy dropped by a guest.

After the birth of the fallen hime, the prostitute Taro not only had the responsibility of his brother, but also the responsibility of his parents, and he began to try to support his sister.

His gaze began to become distinctive, potentially aggressive.

He can't let Xiaomei eat snakes, insects and mice like him, so he has to find a way to find a better source of food, and for that, he is willing to do anything.

And Ha came to the banks of the Rashomon River because he hadn't seen the prostitute Taro come to beg for food again for a few months.

As he predicted, after having a certain ability to survive, the prostitute Taro didn't trouble him anymore.

Hao also found that the eyes of the passers-by around him looking at the prostitute Taro had a trace of fear in addition to disgust and hatred.

Come to think of it, during this time, the prostitute Taro has made a lot of changes.

At least in the face of those who hurt him, he dared to fight back.

Chiyoko, who was with her, handed over the food that had been prepared long ago, but the prostitute Taro didn't answer it, just bowed to Ha again and left.

This made Chiyoko's movements stiffen, and she was a little overwhelmed.

Then, the two went back.

……

Spring goes and autumn comes.

Hazy didn't pay much attention to the life of this brother and sister, but he still occasionally heard some news, such as the evil deeds of the prostitute Taro, at a young age, his combat effectiveness can't even be compared to that of an adult. Moreover, this little guy is extremely ruthless, which makes many people fearful.

It has almost become the 'little overlord' on the banks of the Rashomon River.

Xiaomei is also slim, and her appearance is becoming more and more standard.

As for their mother, although she is still a wandering girl, she lives by selling her body... But it seems that it has nothing to do with the two children anymore and lives separately.

The reason is that when she beats Mei once, she finally angers the prostitute Taro, causing the prostitute Taro to almost kill her.

Since then, the woman has been very afraid of this son... can only say bad things about some brothers and sisters behind their backs like everyone else.

What Hao is more concerned about is some rumors from the shogunate.

And the intel from the Demon Slayer team.

A very interesting phenomenon.

In the past year, the number of ghosts has begun to increase... It's obvious that Wu Miao is running, and there are new moves.

However, unlike a few decades ago, this batch of newborn ghosts is very strong, and even caused some trouble to the ghost killing team.

At the same time, the ghosts on the inheritor's side are also hunting on a large scale, because the ghosts can devour each other to gain power... As a result, there is a direct conflict of interests between the two forces that are not in the same camp.

After learning about this situation, Hao knew in his heart that after decades of sampling, studying... Wu Miao really made some discoveries.

The blood cells in the inheritor's body, the blood cells related to themselves, and the will contained in them, are manipulated.

Almost every inheritor is infused with a little bit of essence and blood, which is used to suppress the miserable cells, and more importantly, the will in the cell can strengthen the spirit of the inheritor, and make the inheritor better in a certain aspect.

With only a few drops of essence blood, the will that Hao can give is very weak... Therefore, if Wu Miao wants to break through, it is not very difficult.

However, his ability to change the will in his blood cells means that after all these years of hard work, Wu Miao has finally discovered the energy of 'soul'. Wu Miao's identity is not only the ancestor of ghosts, he is also a knowledgeable researcher, with his means and strength, plus such a long time, he can still do this.

But discovery does not mean that it can be touched or controlled, and it is speculated that most of the misery relies on the change of physical form to make the deeper cells passively change.

A physical way of coping.

The previous ghosts, without the participation of Hao, all belonged to individuals in the same life dimension, and no matter how much they devoured each other and how strong their strength was, it was impossible to break the bottleneck. But now with the participation of the hazy essence and blood and the changes it brings, the ghosts can increase their evolution level by eating each other.

Because the haze has raised the upper limit of the ghost's life.

At the beginning of the battle of Edo Castle, Yasuhara and Teshimaga were a good example.

Wu Miao realized this, and someone on the inheritor's side must have found out, otherwise, the two sides would not have fought so fiercely.

As for the Ghost Slayer team, the Sanyashiki clan has changed two leaders, and its pillar-level swordsmen have changed batch after batch.

The attainments in tuna are far from being comparable to the city guard and Tenjuro's generation.

The most typical example is... At present, there are more than ten pillars of the Ghost Slayer Team of this generation, and there are two who have opened the markings, and the existence of the power of 'Hedao' has been discovered, and systematic teaching and training have begun.

These methods, however, will not appear until a hundred years later, and they have been greatly advanced.

It can be said that everything is going smoothly as expected.

This year's winter was particularly cold.

Blizzard is pouring.

Hao came to the bank of the Rashomon River alone, and saw the prostitute Taro and Xiaomei cowering on the corner of the street from a distance, covered with a straw mat for warmth.

The prostitute Taro hugged his sister and said the promise and the promise.

They will never be separated, as long as they are together, the two are invincible.

No amount of poverty or hunger can defeat their brothers and sisters.

Hao just looked at it from a distance and didn't come forward.

However, in this bad weather, the streets are deserted, and even though the white snow obscures the view, you can still see vague figures.

The first to discover Hazy was Xiaomei.

She stared at the dark figure in the distance, feeling that the person seemed to be looking at them, and couldn't help but say, "Someone." ”

The prostitute Taro looked at the situation tremblingly, but did not say anything.

Although he couldn't see clearly, he had a hunch of who the other party was.

The man did not walk, but stood still.

"Probably... Get lost. ”

The prostitute Taro smiled at his sister.

Xiaomei didn't know Hao.

After a while, the figure walked away.

The prostitute Taro was a little nervous, and his mood was slightly relieved.

He was scared to come over... Seeing the embarrassment of their brother and sister.

It's not that it's a matter of strength or dignity, it's just that the prostitute Taro thinks that the weight of that kindness is too heavy... And now he can't repay it.

On the way back, Hao looked down at the footprints in the snow, and his mind turned.

People in this world are really different from full-time.

The shaping and cultivation of personality are so simple and pure, which makes the emotions very single-minded.

Whether it's good, or evil.

"You've grown up a little bit too..."

Hazy chuckled softly.

He 'saw' the little tree that symbolized the will of the world, and the withered branches were revitalized and embellished with greenery.

Even the trunk of the tree is much thicker.

The little tree shook and rustled, as if in response to his words.
