Sauichiro: rebuilding Ashina from the obliteration of the pillar

Chapter 32 Strange Village
Although the speed of the train was very fast, far exceeding that of a galloping horse, it stopped and stopped along the way, and when it arrived in Kumamoto, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

"Little brother Genichiro, it seems that it's time for us to say goodbye."

Outside the train station, Butterfly Kanae stood gracefully, holding in her left hand a food box given to her by Genichiro, inside which was the hagi cake she reserved for that companion, and holding a Japanese sword wrapped in cloth in her right hand.

Under the street lamp, she has a slender figure, and the butterfly pattern on the feather weave dances with the wind, like a winter cherry in full bloom in the light snow.

"Maybe we'll meet again."

Genichiro knew that it would be a matter of time, after all, the purpose of both of them was to save people.

It's just that Genichiro only saved one person.

And she was there to save everyone.

If it wasn't for worrying that Butterfly Kanae would not disclose any information to him because of the rules of the Ghost Slayer Squad, he would have simply confessed and followed up shamelessly.

"If I can take the same train with you back to Tokyo, then there is indeed a possibility. The few hours spent with Genichiro and you have been very pleasant."

Butterfly Kanae said with a smile, and suddenly focused on Genichiro's belt.

"You were sitting all the time before, and I didn't notice. Genichiro is wearing such a simple color dress, but the belt is dazzlingly gorgeous. You can tell that it was chosen by a girl, right?"

Xianichiro looked embarrassed.

He is a superstitious person, since Ji Ji said that the material of this belt is a special product of her hometown, which can bring good luck to travelers, so he put it on with the attitude of preferring to believe it.

I just didn't expect the pattern to be so gorgeous.

What is embroidered on it is actually the complete story of "Bamboo Tori Monogatari", and even the facial expressions of the characters are depicted in such detail that it is no exaggeration to say that it is a work of art.

It can be seen that this is indeed a very thoughtful gift.

"Really, so Genichiro already has a childhood sweetheart? I originally thought that if there was a chance, I would let my sister know you, the young master of a rich family."

"Hahaha, your expression is so cute, I'm just kidding."

"Okay, the person who came to pick me up has arrived, so I'll take my leave first, thank you for the snacks."

Genichiro followed her gaze, and there was a girl who was hiding a black uniform in a coat not far away. Judging by her body shape, she should be a member of the Hidden Army who is not good at fighting.

He didn't walk into the darkness around the corner until Butterfly Kanae completely disappeared from Genichiro's field of vision.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

After the four paper figurines landed on the ground, they immediately turned into three Chibei Luanbo people wearing red hats, and a gray-clothed Yingying group.

"Master Genichiro." x4.

"You should know the general situation and what I'm going to do this time."

"Among the three of you, separate two people and go to Oita County to find a place called Fujishiyama. Find out how many ghosts there are and how many people from the ghost killing team are stationed there. After you are done, go directly to the Return to Shinichi Sase at the sweet shop in Yoshiwara, Tokyo."

The summoned person will automatically know many things called common sense in Xianichiro's mind, so there is no need for him to explain anything.

Although the combat power of Luanbazhong is not very high in the game, they are killed by the Tengu and the people of Iron Cannon Fortress, but they have jumping ability and assassination skills that even wolves can't match.

With their short stature and strange abilities, they are good hands in espionage activities.

If the ghosts at Fujishishan were weak, at least with their abilities, it would not be difficult to escape from there.

"There is only one person left. Immediately rush to Xinshangquan Village to investigate the recent disappearance of tourists there. Be careful, don't be found by the ghost killing team, as long as you know where they are. That woman is very powerful, don't cause trouble. Her attention."

After all, with Ranbazhong's dwarf sweet potato-like terrifying image that doesn't resemble humans, once discovered, it is estimated that it will be easily treated as a ghost.

"As for the Jiying people, you first find a suitable set of clothes, go to this address to get the sun wheel knife, and then follow me as a servant. Tomorrow, we will go to that village as tourists."

"Yes." x4.

The next morning.

"I said that I have never met the people you mentioned, why can't you understand people's words?"

"He disappears at every turn, how do you let my family do business?"

The proprietress of a hot spring hotel pushed the butterfly Kanae out of the lobby very annoyed. It was hard to imagine that someone would be irritated by such a gentle Kanae.

Kanae, who is a style, is not only not annoyed, but also allows the other party to push and push.

"I'm really sorry if I disturbed your family's hotel business."

Kanae's expression of apology was very sincere, "It's just that my friends appeared here in the end, and now their whereabouts are unknown, it really makes people anxious..."

"Stop putting on makeup!"

The proprietress showed an expression of "I've seen through you a long time ago", her face was full of anger, and her facial features were all twisted together.

"You must be a reporter sent by other nearby villages to discredit us?"

"I've said it many times. Our Xinshangquan Village is not the only hot spring village with missing guests. Why do you have to keep an eye on us!"

"Heichuan in the south, Quanye in the north, which village has not lost a few people?!"

"This is in the mountains. Those rich people always feel that they are special, and they go out for a walk by themselves every now and then. Is it strange to be taken away by animals in the mountains?"

"Besides, this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened. If you still hang on here, I will call the police!"

After finishing speaking, the proprietress savagely closed the door of the hotel, making a loud bang, leaving Kanae outside the door in the snow.

However, after closing the door, the proprietress curbed her anger, showed a thoughtful expression, and then went straight to the backyard, and said to her son who was carrying water: "Don't fetch water for now. Go and tell other people, and say that those who are trying to discredit our village The people are back!"

The thick eyebrows and big eyes of the country boy also showed a layer of anger: "Really, do these people really want us to live a good life?"

"Sansuke!"

The proprietress scolded, "You can get angry anytime you want, and inform other people first, lest someone leak the news!"

"I see!"

The boy dropped the bucket and left as if he had some mission on his shoulders.

On the roof, the Ranba crowd who had finished listening to the mother-child conversation showed a thoughtful expression.

"Leaking news... Could it be another incident where ghosts and people gather together?"

"Hmm... We've almost collected the information, it's time to go back and report to Mr. Genichiro."

As he said that, he turned over and disappeared in his original position without a trace.As if it had never been there before.

On the other side, Kanae, who was kicked out, still didn't mean to be angry, but her eyes were full of worry and sadness.

On the one hand, the whereabouts of the team members are still unknown.

On the other hand, it was the proprietress who showed an indifferent attitude towards the missing person, as if as long as it didn't affect her business, she could just ignore it.

This hurt Butterfly Kanae's soft heart that wanted to cut off all tragedies.

After bowing at the door, she left for the next hotel.

By noon, she had almost traveled all over the hot spring village, asking more than a dozen hotels on the mountain and down the mountain, asking one by one.

However, almost every caliber is similar.

The only difference is that everyone loses their temper in different degrees.

"No hotel has seen them? How is that possible?"

You know, before the team members disappeared, they must have stayed here for a few days.

Don't they usually live in hotels, but in the wild?

But if the villagers are lying, why are they doing it?
Butterfly Chanae wandered the streets of the village like this, hoping that the cold air would give her some ideas.

She has always been unwilling to speculate on human beings with malice, and she never thought that for some reason, the shops in the entire village have already unified their caliber.

However, at this moment, a small rock flew from a distance, and when it was about to hit her back, Kanae easily avoided it as if she had eyes in the back of her head.

"Have been attacked?"

Looking at the stone passing by her ear, Kanae subconsciously stretched her hand to her waist, but remembered that she left the knife in the hotel at the foot of the mountain for the convenience of walking in the countryside.

And when she thought that it was daytime, the one who attacked her could never be a ghost, so she felt relieved.

"It's her!"

A childish and loud voice sounded, Kanae immediately turned her head, and found that it was actually a group of children of different ages, holding various "weapons" - sticks, poles and stones, rushing towards her aggressively.

The leading child is the "Shansuke" who is responsible for notifying the hotel owners.

However, annoyed in his heart, he notified not only the adults, but also the children of various families.

They share the same hatred and are determined to drive out all the bad guys who smeared their village!

While Kanae was in a daze, she was already surrounded by seven or eight boys holding wooden "weapons", and the girls were holding stones and staying in the distance, looking ready to go.

The division of labor is quite clear.

This time, Butterfly Kanae's gentle and beautiful appearance didn't seem to bring her any advantage, because the eyes of each child were full of hatred and grievance, as if they were the ones who were targeted inexplicably.

"Everyone..."

Kanae still had that unfading smiling face, "You guys are looking for me, is there something for you?"

"Put away that disgusting smile of yours, you woman with a heart like a snake!"

Yamasuke growled angrily.

"Evil...disgusting?"

Kanae, who had healed at least 100 seriously injured people with a smile, froze for a moment.

It was the first time in so many years that she was attacked because of this smile.

"Since you don't like it, then I won't laugh."

Butterfly Chanae said softly, but the expression on her face was still full of kindness, which was far from the coldness.

"But, it's the first time we've met. Why do you say I'm a woman with a 'heart like a snake'?"

"You still pretend to be garlic!"

Yamasuke showed a smile like looking at garbage, "You are in the same group as those garbage before, after they came here, they asked around like you, which made the guests feel panic, and everyone couldn't do business. "

"Those garbage?"

Kanae didn't care about Yamasuke's insult, but grasped the key words.

"You mean, have you ever met someone who asks the same questions as I do?"

When Kanae said this, she opened Haori to reveal the uniform inside, "Are they also dressed like me?"

"How dare you ask me back?"

Yamasuke was furious, "It's obvious that you guys dressed like the police and lied to everyone here, saying that there is something wrong with the hot springs in our new Shangquan Village! It's all because of you guys that we have been out of business for many days!"

"Yup!"

The other children added in succession.

"It's the men in black who persuaded my father to drive away all the guests!"

"You must have collected money from other hot spring villages to tarnish our reputation on purpose!"

"And there was a guy with a scar all over his face who threatened to beat my dad if he didn't do what he said."

Although the words were full of resentment and malice, Butterfly Kanae did not resist, but listened carefully, and soon found what she wanted to know.

That's right, the hotel in this village really met the team members, and the two sides also had a conflict over the hot spring.

"Wait, since you've seen these men in black, where did they go?"

Butterfly Kanae interrupted.

"They scared the guests away, of course they left!"

Yamasuke stepped forward and pointed the water pole at Butterfly Kanae's nose, his eyes were full of anger.

"They spread rumors here, and then ran away! But you people are still not satisfied, you left a group of vicious guys, and sent a woman who looks like a good person!"

"What do we have to do before you give up?"

"Do you want our Xinshangquan Village to be the same as it was a few years ago, where we can't even eat enough and have a hard time surviving, so you are willing to be satisfied!"

Speaking of this, Yamasuke seemed to think of something bad, and actually shed tears.

Butterfly Chanae immediately felt his uncontrollable sadness, subconsciously reached out and wiped it from the corner of his eyes.

"I recognize this expression. You must have lost someone important."

Kanae's understanding and gentle tone made Yamasuke stunned for a moment, but after he realized it, he immediately hit Butterfly Kanae's hand with a pole.

"Who wants you to be hypocritical!"

Because Butterfly Chanae was not prepared at all, Tangtang Huazhu was hit straight.

The half-grown child used the pole with great strength, and a sharp pain passed along Butterfly Chanae's knuckles, but she didn't groan.

Instead, she looked at Yamasuke's expression with even more pity.

"Get out!"

Yamasuke turned his eyes away, not wanting to meet Butterfly Kanae's eyes.

"If you dare to come into our village again, we will beat you every time we see you!"

The other children also shouted.

"Get out!"

"You are not welcome here!"

"The god of hot springs will definitely punish you bad guys!"

Just as the situation was about to explode, an old and thick voice sounded from one side: "Hey! What are you guys doing? How can you treat guests in the village like this?"

"It's the village chief!"

"Let's go, or he's going to sue again!"

When the children heard the voice, they seemed to have a tacit understanding, and immediately scattered and ran in all directions.

"Yes, I'm saved!"

Kanae took a deep breath, patted her chest with her good hand, and was about to turn her head to thank the person who came, but was distracted by a small figure beside the old man.

"Genichiro?"

"Why are you here?"
