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

Chapter 51 - The basket behind him is full of knives
Winter is here.

The sky is gradually changing from blue to orange, and the dots of snowflakes are falling calmly and gracefully.

Shang Quannai raised his head, looking sadly at the gradually white sky.

Dry branches blocked the corner of the view, and snowflakes passed through the gaps in the branches.

A delicate and small snowflake slowly fell, and it happened to land in Shang Quannai's blood-red vertical pupils.

The crystal clear snowflakes were melted in an instant, turning into a little snow water.

It trickles down the corner of the eye.

Shang Quannai opened his eyes and sighed helplessly.

Is it already winter?

Before he knew it, he had been in this strange era for a while.

He just stood there in a daze, holding the knife at his waist and standing under the dry tree.

On the side, Murata stood on the top of the mountain with a full face of excitement, looking towards the town below the mountain.

On the opposite side is Sagiri Mountain, and the town below the mountain is where Murata's relatives live.

My wife Renshan also stood silently on the other side, looking at Murata's excited back and sighing.

Murata stood on the rock and looked down the mountain happily, but when he looked at it, he suddenly had some doubts on his face.

He frowned, looked at the town below the mountain, and muttered to himself:

"It's strange...why can't I see anyone on the street...?"

Murata narrowed his eyes, and he scanned the streets of the town carefully.

But it was still impossible to find even a trace of anyone in the extremely silent town.

Reminiscent of the recent news that ogres are everywhere.

There are not many cannibals in the vicinity of the Ubuyashiki clan because of the presence of Shosenna.

Could it be that... ogres have actually flooded? !
grunt.

Murata's throat squirmed up and down, and he suddenly felt a little dizzy with his own thoughts, and smoke came out of his throat.

In that case, my family...

"No, no..."

He gradually realized that something was wrong, cold sweat slowly rolled from his forehead, and Murata took two steps back in horror:
"Na! Nai guide!! In the town! No... eh? Is there anyone?"

Just when Murata wanted to report his discoveries and conjectures to Shang Quanna.

He suddenly saw a small figure on the street south of the town.

"It's human!" Murata froze for a moment, then staggered excitedly and lay down on the rock.

"Human?!" My wife Renshan Quannai heard Murata's exclamation, and turned her head almost at the same time, looking in Murata's direction.

Shang Quannai squinted his eyes when he heard the words, stood on the top of the mountain, and looked directly into the town through the obstacles of the mountain.

My wife Renshan ran to the edge of the stone in surprise, and looked in the direction of Murata's finger in surprise.

He froze for a moment, his yellow hair was covered with snowflakes, he turned his head suddenly, and shouted to Shang Quannai who was behind him in shock:

"Doctor! Really! It's a human!!"

Holding the bone knife in his arms, Shang Quannai nodded silently.

He saw it.

It is the soul that does not belong to any member of the Zaomen family.

Another, blue soul.

At this time, Murata, who was sighing and finally saw someone, was taken aback. He turned his head and looked at my wife Renshan's excited expression.

Then he looked at Shang Quannai who was standing with the knife in his arms, and glanced suspiciously at the two of them:

"I said there are people in the town, why are you so excited?"

Murata frowned, his breathing became short of breath, his hands and feet were cold, and he forced himself to think about everything just now.

Ever since we approached Mount Sagiri, the pace of Shang Quanna and my wife Renshan has become quite slow.

When they found out that there were still people in the town, their tone was also very excited.

So... turns out the town is deserted.

When thinking of this, Murata had already guessed something, he choked for a while, his tone obviously became choked up:

"You...know it from the beginning?"

"This city is deserted, isn't it?"

"Really…?"

My wife Renshan stood next to Murata, her expression froze for a moment, and he turned to look at Shang Quanna who was asking for help.

Shang Quannai and Murata looked at each other with tears in their eyes, and nodded vigorously at him.

Murata's expression became flustered visible to the naked eye, his pupils trembled slightly, and he grabbed my wife's benevolent shoulders with his hands:

"What about my family? Where did they go? Why was there no one there? Why..."

My wife Renshan shrank her neck in fright. Looking at Murata whose hands were shaking in front of him, he felt uncomfortable for a while.

His tone was low, his eyes glanced to the side, and he couldn't bear to say:
"At the beginning... when we came here."

"Here, it's all there, ghost."

"All over the mountains and plains... It's dark..."

After listening to my wife Renshan's words, Murata was taken aback, his pupils shrank suddenly, as if struck by a bolt from the blue, he let go of the hand that was holding my wife Renshan's shoulder in a daze.

Murata's eye circles turned red visibly, his nose was sore, and he squeezed his eyes hard, trying to hold back the tears that were about to burst:
"Liar...!"

He retreated weakly, took a staggered step, and sat on the stone behind him.

Even now, no matter how hard he tried to hold back, tears still welled up in his eyes.

Murata sat on the stone sluggishly, looking straight at the ground that seemed to have been smoothed by something, tears streaming down his cheeks.

The hope of begging for a living for four months was completely shattered at this moment.

The intimate memories between family members seem to be torn apart bit by bit at this time, turning into bits and pieces and dissipating.

"Ho... woohoo..."

Tears blurred his eyes, he clenched his gums and sobbed softly.

pat!

The tears mingled with the snowflakes and fell to the ground in a single droplet.

"why…"

Murata arched his body, his mouth was opened wide, and there was a whimpering sound from his mouth.

"why……!"

"Why is it me!! Why! I am the only one who survived!"

He cried out heart-piercingly, grabbed his clothes with his hands, and fell to his knees on the ground in pain.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!"

The loved ones in the memories were constantly being torn apart, Murata gritted his teeth tightly, his chest heaved rapidly unstoppably, and salty tears trickled down his teeth into his mouth.

He seemed to be in the dark, watching the backs of his relatives gradually moving away, leaving only the powerless self in the end.

Murata clasped the ground firmly with his hands, and the ground that had been smoothed by the ghost tide was sharply ground with several claw marks with his nails.

"ghost…"

His face gradually became ferocious, and his grief slowly turned into extreme anger in his heart.

"ghost…!!!"

Shang Quannai looked at Murata bowed on the ground and howled in pain, and closed his eyes.

My wife Renshan hesitated to comfort Murata, but he knelt down, but he didn't know how to speak.

Snapped!
Shang Quannai grabbed my wife Ren Shanhou by the collar and pulled him aside.

"Hey! Hey hey!!" My wife Renshan yelled in surprise.

"Let him stay by himself for a while." Shang Quannai stopped and looked back at Murata who was kneeling on the ground with his mouth open and his head raised.

"Now, look at the man down the mountain."

Shang Quannai turned her head, patted my wife Renshan on the shoulder, and pointed to the person at the foot of the mountain who was walking slowly with a bamboo pole.

My wife Renshan wiped the moist corners of her eyes, stood up suspiciously, and still looked at Murata worriedly:

"what happened?"

"The basket behind him is full of knives."

Shang Quannai replied lightly.
