People are dying on the pillar, and there is no misery at the beginning

Chapter 40 - Draw a knife to me!

"rustle--"

A gust of wind blew by, and the branches outside the wall creaked and swayed together, hitting the wall with a rustling sound.

After hearing Shang Quannai's words, everyone in the courtyard fell silent.

"...Who is not afraid of death..." The thin man squatted on the ground with an impatient expression on his face, muttering softly.

Shang Quannai glanced at the skinny man crouching on the ground in fear. As a ghost, he naturally had excellent hearing. He grinned at the corner of his mouth and shouted at the skinny man:

"Speak up!"

When the thin man heard this, his body froze for an instant, and a sense of tension enveloped his whole body in an instant, and he glanced at Quanna with flickering eyes.

"!"

After realizing that Shang Quannai was indeed looking at him, the thin man trembled with fright.

However, when he found that the eyes of the people around him began to focus on him following Shang Quannai's gaze, he couldn't hold back anymore.

A rush of blood surged into his heart, he stood up abruptly, took two deep breaths, looked directly at Shang Quannai with his eyes, and shouted angrily:

"Who is not afraid of death!?"

"If it weren't for being hungry, and the weather is so cold at night, who would come here to join some ghost killing team?!"

Shang Quannai watched the thin man angrily scolding God for being unfair, and couldn't help but applaud him inwardly.

well said!Get out of here quickly!Don't be involved in anything related to ghosts for the rest of your life!

By the way, the same goes for everyone else!
Shang Quannai was thinking like this, and when he was about to speak, he saw the thin man suddenly burst into tears.

He raised his head, his eyes were wide open, and the corners of his mouth were grinning downward. His sloppy beard and black eye bags all showed his decadence.

Tears dripped down his chapped skin, he choked his throat and took a deep breath:

"Not contacting my family? I came here just to find an opportunity to contact my mother and sister..."

He took a big mouthful of breath, the skin on his neck was stretched by the rhythm of breathing, tears had already blurred his eyes, it seemed that he had held it in for too long, everything poured out at this moment:

"We had an accident on the way to Sagiri Mountain. My mother and my sister were forced to separate from me. I was alone in this place... No one wanted me to work for them..."

When the thin man mentioned the place name "Sawu Mountain", the old monk Quanna and my wife Renshan were shocked at the same time.

"I've been begging like this for four months...! I finally have hope...!"

His hands were open, his brows drooped slightly, his eyes were full of grief, and there was a silent sob in his throat.

Everyone around lowered their heads, only the old man looked at the silently crying man with pitiful eyes.

Shang Quannai closed his eyes, he turned around, took a few deep breaths, and then asked the thin man:
"how old are you?"

The man lowered his head, squatting on the ground in despair, his voice hoarse from tears:
"...19, 20 in a little month."

"Have your mother and sister arrived at Sawu Mountain?" Shang Quannai turned around, looking at the squatting man with an extremely heavy heart at the moment.

With his eyes squinted, the thin white soul of the thin man was constantly shaking, as if he was sobbing sadly.

Sagiri Mountain is a very heavy place.

When the thin man said the place name, Shang Quannai's heart skipped a beat.

When the three of them arrived at Sawu Mountain, except for Zaomen's family... there was no trace or corpse of anyone else.

Or, this person's mother and younger sister had already been turned into two ghosts during the ghost tide at that time, and finally died by their own hands.

Or, the two of them had already died in the stinking town where there was no one but blood on the streets.

Or, the two never reached Sagiri Mountain at all, but were looking for each other in other places like men.

The samurai in rattan armor closed his eyes and leaned against a tree beside him, as if he was used to all this.

The thin man raised his eyelids, glanced at Shang Quannai unexpectedly, and wiped the wet tears on his face with his palm:
"Well, they have arrived, to be precise, they have arrived at the town under Sagiri Mountain."

"Where is our new home, where is my father to meet us..."

"Originally...it was a very happy thing..."

As he spoke, the thin man closed his eyes, shook his head, wiped away the tears from his eyes, and stood up.

"It's ridiculous, crying like this because you are separated from your family." He laughed at himself, and then he was about to walk towards the gate of the courtyard.

"Wait." Shang Quannai closed his eyes and let out a long sigh in his heart. He jumped down from the roof and took out two wooden knives from the other side of the courtyard.

The staggering pace of the thin man stopped, and he turned around in a daze, looking at Shang Quannai.

"then!"

"Snapped!"

Shang Quannai threw a wooden knife at the thin man, and raised the wooden knife in his hand at him.

The thin man grasped the wooden knife that was coming towards him with sharp eyes. He felt the huge force from the wooden knife, and there was a cold sweat on his back:
"What do you want to do?!"

Shang Quannai threw the scabbard of the wooden knife on the grass aside, held the handle with one hand, and pointed the tip of the knife at the stunned thin man.

His eyes were firm, and he looked at the thin man with regret: "What's your name?"

Seeing Shang Quannai's stance, the thin man quickly grabbed the handle of the knife with both hands and stood in front of him:

"Mura, Murata!"

"Why are you looking at me like that?!"

He quickly turned his eyes to the people in the courtyard asking for help, but found that no matter whether it was the guy with white feather or the samurai with rattan armor, they all looked aside!
Look like it's none of your business!

Murata suddenly despaired.

When Shang Quannai heard the thin man's name, her body stiffened.

But he didn't think about it, he took a deep breath:

"Murata, strength testing is also an important step in becoming a member of the Demon Slayer Squad."

Saying that, Shang Quannai suddenly opened his eyes, stood the knife in his hand in front of himself, and made a defensive posture:
"Come! Draw the knife to me!"

Murata was taken aback, his hands holding the handle of the knife trembled uncontrollably, he saw the strength of Shang Quannai's knife yesterday!
He looked at Shang Quannai tremblingly, and shouted in a trembling voice:

"When did I say I was going to join the Demon Slayer Squad!?"

"Aren't I the least qualified one?!"

Shang Quannai didn't answer what Murata meant, he held a knife and walked forward step by step:

"If you don't make a knife, then I will make the first move."

Murata looked at Shang Quanna's progress, and backed away in fright, and yelled while backing:

"Wait! Let me think about it!!"

Hiding in the corner, my wife Ren Shan, who has no sense of existence while holding her "Raiqie", is secretly delighted at Murata's dodging appearance.

Finally someone, like him, can intuitively feel Shang Quannai's terror!
