Sauichiro: rebuilding Ashina from the obliteration of the pillar

Chapter 206 Breathing Syndrome
On the way up the mountain.

Genichiro looked away from the trees on both sides of the mountain road, and focused his eyes vaguely on the shoulders of Tanjiro who was carrying a few bags of rice in front of him, and his thoughts flashed back to the past from time to time. Days I don't want to remember.

When their family lived in the Susukei Forest in Weiming, Genichiro, like Tanjiro who sold charcoal, brought animal furs to nearby villages and towns in exchange for food.

At that time, his younger brothers and sisters didn't have all their teeth, so they couldn't help much, and his father was worried that he would be robbed by rebels when he went out, so he never allowed Genichiro to act alone.

But in order to let the family have some food that is easy for children to swallow, Xianichiro often used the excuse of going out to practice bows and arrows, and explored a steeper but more convenient path on the mountain. Sneak out and trade back some whole grains.

Every month at the beginning of the month, he would hide on a tree branch near the main road and wait quietly.If he was lucky, he would use a bow and arrow to shoot through the big sack on the grain truck in the Neifu, and let the rice flow out of the hole, which looked like golden spring water in the sun.When the car is far away, Genichiro will take off his clothes, pack up the spilled food, and take it home excitedly. Even if his father scolds him, he doesn't care, and he has trained himself to be shirtless in winter Cold-resistant constitution.

In that war-torn era, a mouthful of rice was too precious, and it was an unimaginable luxury for people like them.

For such a superfluous enjoyment, taking the risk of being killed or freezing to death to steal the supplies of the samurai in the inner court, in the eyes of Genichiro's father, it was too reckless.

But in any case, Genichiro still enjoys the expectant eyes of his younger siblings when he returns from the harvest - at least today, they don't have to eat the meat chewed by their parents.And a meal of gruel with sweet taste can make them happy for several days.

"Brother, let me help you get a bag."

Nezuko looked at Tanjirou's sweaty face, and whispered something.

This time the two went down the mountain, in addition to seeking help from the Demon Slayer Squad, it was also because the mayor suddenly brought guests there, and the family really didn't have any extra food, so Tanjiro needed to go down the mountain to buy.As for Nezuko, she was worried that her brother would be bored while waiting for the members of the Demon Slayer Squad to arrive, so she followed them together.

And if she doesn't follow, some people in the town will inevitably take advantage of my brother's kindness to make him do this and that for nothing. Although my brother doesn't care, Nezuko hates those people very much.

"No, I'm fine. Brother has great strength."

Tanjirou flashed a reassuring smile at his sister, but his increasingly pronounced gasps disagreed.

That was a load of nearly ten kilograms.Climbing uphill with such a heavy thing is a bit strenuous even for Tanjiro, who often works hard.

"But I'm also very good. Didn't I make you cry when I flicked your brains out before? Even my mother can't do it!"

Nezuko spoke amazingly, and even bent her arms to show off her muscles, "So just give me some, brother."

Tanjiro felt a little uneasy when he heard this, because he was worried that his sister's middle finger would be broken by his head, but he didn't expect it to be unexpectedly painful.It's really one thing and one thing.

"However, don't tell outsiders about this kind of experience!" After finishing speaking, Tanjiro turned his head and emphasized to Genichiro and Miss Shinobu very solemnly: "Nezuko is a very gentle girl! Never Hitting people for no reason."

Obviously, he was worried that his sister would give outsiders a barbaric impression. After all, no matter what age, everyone liked girls like Yamato Nadeko.

What he didn't know was that even Butterfly Ninja, who was the weakest among the pillars, had the strength to lift a weight of [-] kilograms with one hand.

With Genichiro's current physical fitness, he can easily overturn a train carriage to the ground, and he can do it with one hand if he becomes a ghost.

"Let me help you."

Genichiro shook his head, and was about to reach for the rice bag on Tanjirou's shoulder, but the latter hurriedly dodged it.

"How can you trouble the guests! This is too unreasonable!"

Tanjiro shook his head seriously, "However, thank you, big brother, for your kindness."

"Haha! Big Brother~"

Butterfly couldn't help it, and burst out laughing suddenly, making Tanjiro and Nezuko look at each other, confused.

"Sister Shinobi, why are you laughing? Did my brother say something ridiculous?"

Nezuko tilted her head and asked.

"Wait, wait a minute..."

Butterfly waved his hand, while contemplating the ninja's secret method of concentrating, he stopped smiling for a while, then glanced at Genichiro with half-moon eyes, and finally revealed the mystery.

"Genichiro...he's only ten years old this year."

"What?" x2.

The siblings glanced at Genichiro, who was taller than his father.

You call this ten years old?

"Surprise."

Butterfly smiled and said, "But when I first met him a few months ago, he was only about the same height as you. It must be because everyone in Wei is tall."

Unknowingly, Butterfly Shinobu has accepted the setting that "everything in Wei Ming is big", and Kotaro's height is not much different from Masataka Oniwa, but he is only 13 years old, only Kuro may be an outlier.

"Then... don't I... I should call you..."

Tanjiro looked up at Genichiro's speechless half-moon eyes, and said falteringly, "Brother Genichiro..."

"You bring it to me."

Without the slightest hesitation, Genichiro interrupted Tanjiro just in time, tapping his finger lightly on the latter's shoulder.

Tanjiro only felt numbness in his muscles and bones, his joints buckled unconsciously, and the rice bag hanging on his shoulder quickly slipped down.

"Eh--"

Seeing that the bag of rice was about to fall to the ground and scatter, it disappeared into the dark shadow of Genichiro as if it had fallen into the water.

Seeing this "supernatural event" for the first time, the Zaomen brothers and sisters' eyes widened.

"Don't talk, hurry up, and the rice will be given to you when it arrives."

"Oh well……"

"And you, stop laughing, or you won't go to Pingtian Manor again."

"Please give me another five...five seconds, and why your face is so ugly, it's so rare... Hahahahaha..."

In this way, it took the four of them nearly an hour to walk from the town to the mountain, and this was when Tanjiro was not carrying any weight.

But the demand for charcoal will increase sharply in winter, when the snow will become deep and thick. In addition to the cold weather, how long will Tanjiro have to travel?

It's a hard to estimate number.

Tanjiro sniffed when he saw the simple wooden house in his house, and then said strangely: "Hey, when did the uncle who sells fireworks leave? It seems that the mayor's grandpa is gone."

"Is it the two people you said who asked about the 'God of Fire Kagura'?" Butterfly Shinobi asked.

"Well, that uncle wants to invite Dad to the Fireworks Festival in Tokyo to perform a dance to worship the god of fire on the day the Obon Festival ends."

Speaking of this, Tanjirou didn't know what he thought of, and his voice seemed a little low.

"It seems that Dad should have refused. There is an angry smell in the air, which doesn't seem to be emitted by family members. It should be left by the businessman uncle."

Butterfly Shinobu and Xian Ichiro looked at each other. They had already speculated that this "God of Fire Kagura" should be the sword shape of Hi no Breath.

If Tanjiro's father really went to Tokyo to perform and accidentally attracted the attention of some ghosts, especially Mumai Onimai, then the matter would really be big.

"Tanjiro, are you back?"

A gentle female voice came from inside the house, and then Kuizhi walked out of the door with Liutai on his back.

Wearing a headscarf and a long white Japanese-style apron, she looked tired, but still couldn't hide her outstanding features.

Following her greeting, three figures appeared from behind her, "Is my brother back?"

It is Tanjiro's other three younger siblings: Takeo, Mao and Hanako, who are also very lively children, which shows that the family atmosphere has not become heavy and depressed because of the poor life.

However, when they saw two strangers, they slightly restrained their excitement of seeing their brother, and looked curiously at these two outsiders whose clothes were incompatible with the local area.

Especially when he saw Butterfly holding back the long scabbard around his waist, Zamon Takeo's eyes lit up for a moment.

"That's a samurai sword! You two must be the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Squad!"

Judging from his adoring eyes, the Ghost Slayer Squad's image in the hearts of the local people is still very reliable.

"You can't be rude, Takeo."

Zaomen Kuizhi made a gesture to flick Takexiong's head, and the kid was so frightened that he quickly covered his head and backed away, causing the other children to burst into laughter.

"I'm sorry, children don't often see outsiders, please forgive me if there is any offense."

Zaomen Kuizhi said to Xianichiro and Butterfly Shinobi, "The two of you probably came here for that monster in the cellar."

"Uh, this, mom..."

Hearing his mother mention the matter in the cellar, Tanjiro looked slightly embarrassed, and hurriedly told the truth of the matter.

"Oh, I really didn't expect this. It turned out to be like this. This is really a big misunderstanding."

Zaomen Aoie covered her mouth in surprise, "Then you have to release that Mr. Ninja quickly... I'm so sorry!"

"It should be me who should apologize. If he was sent here during the day, things might not be like this."

Genichiro said.

"Then... Tanjiro?"

"Mom." Tanjiro walked over.

"You take the two guests to unlock the cellar first, and bring some water to Mr. Ninja to quench his thirst."

Kuizhi at the kitchen door looked into the house pointedly, "I'll go and wake your father up."

"Eh, could it be..."

Tanjiro felt a little bad, his father had been getting sick more and more recently, otherwise he wouldn't have slept in broad daylight.

But when he saw his mother's eyes, he didn't say anything, but guided the two of them towards the cellar with heavy thoughts.

"Tanjiro?"

Butterfly Shinobi remembered that when Tanjiro's family died tragically, his father was not among the victims, combined with what happened just now...

"Is your father unwell?"

"Sorry, maybe because of burning charcoal since childhood, my father always has a cough, so he couldn't come out to greet you two."

Tanjiro replied very simply, obviously he didn't want to say more.

"Cough?" Butterfly Shinobu repeated, seeming to be interested: "Can you tell me about the symptoms in detail? I am the doctor of the Ghost Killing Squad myself."

It is indeed a matter of great concern that a person who is suspected to be able to breathe in the sun is entangled with a respiratory-related disease.

"Doctor?" Tanjiro had doubts in his clear eyes, after all Butterfly Shinobi looked a few years older than him.

But from the smell, the girl who was too kind to him didn't lie.

"If it's the ghost hunter's doctor, maybe he can save my father's life..."

With an attitude of giving it a try, Kamado Tanjiro said in detail: "Father started coughing two or three years ago. Although he always avoided us and pretended that he was not seriously ill, I could always smell it. The smell of the blood he coughed up...besides that, he also has a unique smell of dying life, which is exactly the same as before grandma died."

As the only person in the family who really knew about Tanjuro's physical condition, he couldn't tell other family members about it. It is conceivable how uneasy and depressed Tanjiro felt.

"Hematemesis, this is really not a good sign. What else?"

Although Die Die Ren couldn't bear it, he still showed the professional attitude of a doctor for diagnosis.

"...and also, Dad doesn't always cough when he burns wood or in very hot places, but once he coughs, his body will suddenly become very hot, just like Hanako who has a fever after a child. But After the coughing stops, the body temperature will suddenly drop again.”

"..."

After mentioning Tanjiro's description, Genichiro and Butterfly Shinobu exchanged a look, both of them saw the badness in each other's eyes, and they naturally started associations.

May I ask, among the members of the Ghost Killing Squad, what is the body part that is most prone to lesions?
The answer is precisely the respiratory system including the lungs!And that is one of the most fragile body structures in the human body.

Because not every team member is suitable for the breathing method they have learned, there are often combinations with poor compatibility. Therefore, some team members often practice breathing methods that cause physical overload and damage to the respiratory tract.Before the team members can't master the constant, continuous use of the breathing method for more than half an hour will cause severe fever in the lungs, resulting in irreparable situations such as capillary burst or alveolar necrosis-and the soaring body temperature is only caused by the drastic changes inside the body It's just a superficial phenomenon.

The most extreme situation happened to the players who learned the breath of fire and the breath of rock. It is said that someone once set himself on fire during the practice!

Purgatory Makijuro also said before that even the breath of flame, which is closest to the breath of the sun, is only less than half the power of the breath of the sun!

To what extent will the burden of the breath of the day bring to the user?

Therefore, if the two people's expectations are correct, Tanjiro's father's cough accompanied by severe fever may be the result of the overload of Hi Noir Breathing.
