Sauichiro: rebuilding Ashina from the obliteration of the pillar

Chapter 35 Seduction
The next morning, Butterfly Kanae woke up quite tired.

For two consecutive nights, she only slept for less than three hours, and even on her extremely beautiful face, there were two big dark circles under her eyes.

Butterfly Kanae has never been so haggard since the day her parents were killed.

On the one hand, she was concerned about the safety of the team members——

Especially in the presence of Murata, usually although he can survive serious injuries, most of his teammates will be wiped out.

On the other hand, she was really afraid that Genichiro would do something terrible to the villagers in a hurry.

The phrase "I'm good at killing people" almost became her nightmare last night.

"We must find out the problem here as soon as possible, I hope it will not be as Genichiro guessed..."

After a brief wash, Butterfly Kanae decided to seize the remaining less than twelve hours and try her best to find out where the ghost was.

To be honest, she is really envious of the thin blood of Immortal Kawasami right now.

Although she always criticized that guy's brutal method of attracting ghosts by self-mutilation, but now she understood Immortal Chuan somewhat.

How convenient that is! ! !
Pushing open the door and walking through the corridor of the hotel, Butterfly Kanae suddenly stopped.

Because she saw that the child named Yamasuke was hiding in the corner of the arched gate of the yard yesterday, peeping into the yard, with his mouth wide open, as if he saw something incredible.

And judging from the ups and downs of his body, he seemed to be a little angry.

"Little brother Yamasuke."

Butterfly Kanae has no habit of scaring others, so she called out a few meters away from Yamasuke.

"what!"

Even so, Sansuke, who was concentrating on it, was startled by the voice behind him, turned around quickly, and even dropped the water basin in his hand to the ground with a snap.

But when he saw that it was Kanae who came, his face softened a little, and soon changed from frightened to ashamed of being found out for doing bad things.

"Sorry, I still scared you."

Kanae smiled softly.

Since she woke up the breathless Yuuya yesterday, the relationship between Yamasuke and her has eased.

"No, it's me who should apologize. What happened yesterday morning, I was too impulsive."

Yamasuke bowed to Butterfly Kanae again and again, a hundred times more sincere than his mother's forced apology last night.

"Thank you again for your help, otherwise if something happens to my father, I don't know what to do."

"You are serious, even if I don't make a move, Boss Xiongye will be fine."

Kanae said modestly, but she was also curious why Yamasuke changed so much overnight.

"No, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid he would have been beaten to death!"

Yamasuke raised his head, his eyes full of gratitude and fear.

Butterfly Kanae naturally knew the strength of Genichiro's palm, but she didn't expect that Yamasuke, who grew up in the village, could also see it.

She asked suspiciously, "Why do you say that?"

"I've been watching here for half an hour, that guy, he's just... a monster!"

Yamasuke made room for Butterfly Kanae, who immediately leaned over and looked into the courtyard from the arch.

It was Genichiro inside.

He is using the maple tree in the yard to train the kowtowing combo boxing crouching!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

An elbow, a palm, and an elbow.

The huge maple tree that was attacked couldn't help but shake because of it, and the red leaves all over its head helplessly fell down, which became the measurement standard for Genichiro to measure the strength of this blow.

And some maple leaves that were too late to fall to the ground were blown to pieces by the vibrating air because they caught up with Genichiro's next wave of attack, and some were even torn apart directly.

The center of the entire courtyard has become a stage where maple leaves whirl and fly.

Because last night Genichiro passed the real mode of Mizuki Kawada's combat memory, and his attack power level was +1, so every blow he makes today has a more obvious sonic boom than yesterday.

Butterfly Kanae can see it clearly, and finally understands why even a layman like Yamasuke can see that Yuya was only one step away from death yesterday.

If these three hits hit someone, I'm afraid even the pillar of the Demon Killing Team would have a hard time not being injured.

Obviously Xianichiro was not as strong as yesterday.

Could it be that he still kept his hand yesterday?
"Don't misunderstand Xianichiro, he is also a very gentle person in his heart. Yesterday he only acted as a last resort to protect me from harm."

Butterfly Kanae will always use the best motive to speculate on others, and I hope Yamasuke can understand.

However, Yamasuke was staring at Genichiro's back. The scene of his father's collapse yesterday kept appearing in his mind, making the anger in his eyes more and more intense.

"Didn't you see? When he slapped him down, even the big tree was shaking! If he hit someone, how could he be fine?"

"Presumably in the eyes of a big man like him, he doesn't care about the life and death of us country people at all."

The hatred in his tone became stronger and stronger, making Kanae feel a little helpless.

For the first time, she felt that children were so difficult to deal with one after another.

Butterfly Shinobi is like this, Genichiro is like this, and even Yamasuke is like this.

They are all very prone to hostility.

Each of them has a group of irresolvable anger in their hearts, which erodes outward all the time, and it will burn not only themselves, but also others.

"Sister Kanae, you two, are you really not together?"

Yamasuke asked again, apparently in his simple mind, Genichiro, who was a huge threat, had been classified as an "enemy".

Right now, he just wants to make sure that Kanae is not an "enemy".

"It's true that we just met by chance, but we are all here to find someone. Of course, he is not joking about the investment."

Yamasuke's face darkened, "Looking for someone? Is it the group of men in black who slandered our hot spring?"

"Yes."

Butterfly Chanae nodded, "But they definitely didn't come here to slander your village."

"I know it's hard for you to believe that they are all good people, but they are."

"I have worked with them for many years, and they are all people who can stop their own lives for the safety of others."

When Butterfly Chanae said this, she seemed a little tired of explaining, so she simply expressed her inner thoughts.

"They came here not to discredit your village, but to investigate more than 20 cases of missing tourists near Xinshangquan Village in the past two years."

"I know you don't want to admit it, but the disappearance of so many people is written in the newspaper, and you can't deny it."

When Butterfly Kanae said this, Yamasuke also showed a tangled look, and said a little impatiently: "But those people were taken away and eaten by animals, so there is nothing to investigate."

"Besides, you are not the police, what right do you have to ask questions?"

"Sansuke. The total number of missing people in one of your hot spring villages is the sum of the number of missing people in the other hot spring villages in Kumamoto in the past two years."

Butterfly Chanae shook her head, "That's why my colleagues concluded that these disappearances were not caused by animals, but by something else."

"Something else?"

Yamasuke's voice suddenly rose.

"Correct."

Butterfly Kanae knew that Yamasuke might be the only person in the village who could get information about the ghost killers, so she continued to ask, "Have you heard of ghosts?"

Yamasuke's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Looking at your reaction, you know something about ghosts?"

Butterfly Chanae immediately saw the clue.

"I... have heard others talk about it, but they are all legends. How could there be such a thing in the world?"

Yamasuke's eyes were not fearful, but became a little anxious, "So what are you and those men in black doing?"

"We are professional ghost hunters."

"A ghost hunter is one who preys on ghosts..." Yamasuke seemed to be confirming the specific meaning of the word.

Butterfly Chanel nodded.

"That's right. Investigating such cases, letting the dead rest in peace, and exterminating the evil spirits is exactly the duty of our ghost killing team."

"Destroy...kill?"

These two words seem to have brought great shock to Yamasuke.

It seems to be more terrifying than the ghost itself.

"Just to make the ghost..."

"We need to use special means to cut off the ghost's head. Only by eliminating the evil ghosts in this way can we stabilize this place."

"Only by eradicating the evil spirits entrenched here can your village receive guests with peace of mind."

"So Yamasuke, if you really want to make the village prosperous like before, please help me and tell me more about those men in black."

However, Yamasuke was only silent for a while, and finally pushed Butterfly Kanae away without saying a word.

"Sansuke..."

Butterfly Kanae didn't understand, she had clearly already said this.

Was her last hope to be lost too?

"Please don't say any more, although you saved my father, I still can't believe your words."

"Either you are lying to me, or you are being deceived by those so-called good people."

"Anyway, please don't mention this matter again."

Having said that, Sansuke picked up the basin from the ground and left without looking back.

"..." Kanae stretched out a hand far away, but finally put it down.

A huge shadow hung over her head, almost making her breathless.

Now, what the hell to do?

At this moment, the voice of the proprietress suddenly came: "I'm sorry, guest, Sansuke has made you unhappy again."

"Ms. Yuko." Butterfly Kanae greeted politely, "You are being serious, I just feel that Yamasuke always seems to be very angry."

Judging by Yuzi's expression, it seems that she didn't hear the details of her conversation with Yamasuke.

"Ah, since that incident, he has been like this, always hostile to outsiders..."

"that matter?"

Butterfly Kanae's many years of experience in handling cases: Whenever you talk about local tragedies, you can always get involved with ghosts.

"Ah, that was a few years ago."

Mrs. Yuzi sat down in front of the porch with some regret, "At that time, Sansuke's elder brother was still alive, and he had been outside the business, and he had more knowledge."

"The matter of changing our village into a hot spring village was proposed by that child."

"So, Cang in this Cangshan Hot Spring Hotel..." Butterfly Chanahui suddenly realized.

"Yes, it is Cang Zhu's Cang."

The proprietress Yuzi recalled the past.

"In those two years, many surrounding villages dug hot springs and got rid of their poor life. So Cansuke felt that if they could, we could too, so he led the young people in the village to start digging hot springs, hoping to change The dire situation in this village..."

"Then you dug it out?"

"Ah, didn't you see all the guests?"

Tamago pointed to the direction of the back hall of the hotel, "That's the first hot spring pool dug out by Sosuke."

As she spoke, she changed her voice, "It's just that when the hot spring was just dug out, it wasn't as clear as it is now, and the smell was a bit choking."

"At that time, everyone was very happy, so they pooled money and asked Cansuke to go to Kurokawa Onsen Village to find a capable person in this field. They wanted to see how our village's hot springs rank in Japan."

"It's just that when the person came, he laughed at us and said that the water quality here is too mixed, and the water temperature is not high enough. Let alone wanting to rank, it is not even a qualified hot spring!"

Butterfly Chana Hui hurriedly asked: "What about after that?"

After that, how did the water become so clear today?
Yuzi sighed, "Of course the situation after that was very bad. Although Cansuke never gave up and hoped that people outside would recognize the hot springs in our village, but after looking for several people one after another, they all said the same thing."

"Because of digging hot springs, many young people even neglected their farming work that year. As a result, that year became the most difficult year in the village, and many old people starved to death."

Now, Butterfly Kanae finally understood the meaning of what Yamasuke said yesterday morning.

"Do you want everyone to be the same as before and starve to death?"

It turned out that Xinshangquan Village's past difficulties were actually caused by this.

"Cangsuke felt very guilty at the time, but he still stubbornly believed that these so-called capable people would criticize our hot springs because they were afraid that our village's reputation would overshadow them."

"So in order to get a fair evaluation, it is necessary to go to Tokyo and find an impartial foreigner to be an expert."

"That's it, it was the winter solstice two years ago, Cangsu packed his bags secretly and left here..."

Speaking of this, Yuzi couldn't help shedding tears, "But that winter was really too cold. After Cansuke left, he never came back..."

"We don't know where he is now, or if he is alive..."

"But the hot spring in the village soon became like he said, better than any hot spring in Japan!"

Butterfly Kanae looked at Yuzi who was crying, and although she couldn't bear it, she still asked the most important question.

"What about the hot springs? How did the hot springs get better later on?"

"It's just a coincidence."

Yuzi wiped away her tears, "Just a few weeks after Cansuke left the village, the hot springs in the village suddenly heated up, and gradually, even the water quality became much clearer and cleaner."

"The elders in the village said that people in the village must have starved to death the year before, so the hot spring god felt sorry for us and blessed us."

"But in fact, we all know that all of this is due to Cangsuke!"

"But Cangsuke probably won't see all of this."

What a coincidence.

It's just a coincidence.

Butterfly Chanae is a doctor, and she doesn't believe in "coincidence".

No wonder, the team members would rather leave the village without business than drive away all the guests.

Combined with the previous history, the hot springs here are really too good to be normal!
Reminiscent of Genichiro's conjecture last night, Butterfly Kanae quickly started thinking about it.

Could it be that Cangsuke didn't go to Tokyo back then, but made a deal with a nearby ghost?
He exchanged his own life for the help of ghosts to improve the quality of the hot springs, thus filling the village with popularity.

And when there are so many people, ghosts can hide their own existence by preying on these guests from other places?
In this way, many things make sense.

And the other side.

Yamasuke came to Genichiro's room with a fresh basin of water.

At this time, the latter had finished his training and was sitting inside the door, looking at the red leaves all over the sky with nostalgia on his face, which reminded him of Wei Ming's winter.

"Guest, you soaked in the hot spring last night, how did you feel?"

In Yamasuke's tone, he couldn't hear the slightest hostility towards Genichiro before.

"As your village chief said, it's great. I've already decided to invest in you."

Genichiro spoke half-truths, but in fact, he was just waiting for the report from the Ranba crowd today.

"In that case, please experience our best hot spring here before making a decision."

Yamasuke said.

"Oh, didn't the village chief say that this one of yours is one of the best hot springs in the village?"

Xianichiro became interested, recalling the feeling of lingering last night, he couldn't believe that there was a better place in the village.

"The best hot spring around here is not in the village. We have agreed that no one can monopolize it, nor share it with outsiders."

"But if you are willing to join us, you will naturally not be considered an outsider."

Saying that, Yamasuke pointed to a short mountain next to the guide, "It's not far there, if the guests are interested, I can take you there to have a look."

He glanced at the sun high in the sky.

There are still more than ten hours before night.

So Xianichiro nodded happily: "Okay."

……

I feel that this chapter is written in a hurry.
