messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 49 If it's delicious, you should eat more

On the first day she arrived in Junhu, Yingzi didn't go to Jizang. In the falling maple leaves, she seemed to bid farewell to Chu, but she didn't seem to say anything.

When night fell, the two wanted to find a place to live, but when they walked off the bridge, a person blocked their way.

It was a samurai, well, unlike the "samurai" the two saw along the way, this samurai might be more like a real samurai.

The clothes on his body are simple and neat, his expression is meticulous, and he has a knife on his waist.The two hands are hanging by the side, seemingly relaxed, but the palms are tense. It is believed that if the person in front of him shows hostility, he can draw the knife in an instant.

The samurai stood in front of Yingzi and Chu, and when he saw them, he bowed slightly and said in a deep voice.

"My master invited the two of you to be guests at home, and he said that he hoped to entertain the two of you tonight, as a landlord."

At this time, Yingzi's mood had calmed down, and she frowned as she watched the samurai.

"Who is your master?"

Yingzi didn't know this person, so naturally it was impossible to know his so-called master.

The samurai seemed to have expected Sakurako to ask such a question, straightened up and said.

"My master said that he can provide news about Dizang."

On the bridge at night, Sakurako watched the samurai with her eyes, and the samurai waited quietly for an answer.

After a while, Sakurako said.

"Lead the way."

The samurai nodded, took a step back, stepped out of the way, and made a gesture of please.

"Please come with me."

······
Invite Yingzi and the first host to live in a quiet pavilion. The pavilion is divided into three floors and brightly lit, illuminating the courtyard outside the building like daylight.

The courtyard is like the scenery of the county, full of maple trees, surrounded by a path paved with stone slabs, at the end of the path is a small spring, in which there are several koi swimming.

Red maple, narrow road, ancient pavilion, cool spring, it can be said that this is an extremely elegant pavilion.

When Yingzi and Chu arrived, the host did not show up, and the waiter first entertained them.

The attendants brought them into the main room in the center of the second floor, pushed open the door of the room, and they could just see the maple trees in the whole courtyard and the night view of the county.

After delivering the snacks and tea, the waiters retreated respectfully.

The host's hospitality can be said to be very thoughtful, the scenery in front of me is quiet and beautiful, and the snacks and tea taste very good, but Yingzi has no intention of watching and tasting.

She came here for the news of Dizang.

Chu Chu had a lot of fun, and she just took one bite at a time for the small snack.

It may have been a stick of incense, or it may have been longer. Finally, footsteps came from outside the room, the door was slowly pushed open, and a person walked in.

It was a luxuriously dressed man.

His face was fair and handsome, with a friendly smile on his face, not wide enough to make people feel his kindness without being abrupt.

As a male, he has long hair, which is rare, but not feminine. It is tied in a simple bun and hangs softly behind him. There is not much decoration, and he looks graceful and dignified.

He was wearing a neat and elegant dress, with exquisite patterns embroidered on the light golden silk and satin. Normally, gold would make people feel gaudy, but on his body, it just brought out that nobility.

He walked slowly in front of the two of them, sat down, and said with a smile.

"It happened suddenly, and I invited the two girls here. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality. As for the address, it's fine for the two of you to call me Shaoren."

The voice was so gentle and calm that those who listened to him would calm down unconsciously.

He said that his name is Shaoren, which is a weird name, and it may not be his real name, but Yingzi will not pursue anything.

Holding the teacup, Sakurako said to the man who suddenly invited them here.

"You said you have news about Ksitigarbha?"

Clearly, she wasn't up for small talk.

Shaoren was not dissatisfied with Yingzi's indifference, and replied with a smile.

"Yes, or it should be said that I conveyed the news to the two of you on behalf of Dizang."

Yingzi frowned slightly, and tightened her hand holding the teacup.

"What do you mean?"

Shaoren noticed Yingzi's expression, he could understand Yingzi's mood, so he didn't take offense, and explained softly.

"I'm a friend of Dizang. A few days ago, he came to me and said that if he saw the two of you in Junhu, he would give this to you."

As he spoke, he took out an envelope from his pocket, handed it to Yingzi, and then said as if relieved.

"I haven't read this letter. Now that I have handed it over to you, it can be regarded as fulfilling his instructions."

Yingzi took the letter, hesitated for a moment, and opened it.

There is only a piece of letter paper inside, and there is only a short message on the paper:

At noon on October [-], I waited on the mountain maple slope outside Junhu, where Dizang stayed.

October [-]th, should be two days later.

And the meaning of Fengpo in Junhu Waishan should be to ask Yingzi to go there.

Yingzi held the letter and didn't know what kind of mood she was in for a moment.

In the end, she just folded the letter slowly, put it back into the envelope, and put it in her arms.

"You know, we're going to kill him?"

Yingzi sat and said to Shaoren in front of her.

Shao Ren still smiled and replied.

"I know."

"Then you, aren't you going to stop us?" Sakura asked.

This time, the smile on Shaoren's face faded a little.

He lowered his eyes, with some depression in his eyes, but there was only depression, and he seemed to have guessed such a result long ago.

"No, because this may be the best ending for Ksitigarbha."

He said.

Ksitigarbha kills people, and kills too many people. It is natural to have such a result.

It's better to die by one person's knife than to be killed by a knife, isn't it?
Yingzi put down the teacup in her hand, and the tea in the cup was ups and downs.

"Can I ask you one more question?"

"of course."

Shaoren raised his head, with that gentleness and elegance.

Yingzi paused, as if she was thinking about how to ask this question, after a while, she asked aloud.

"Why did Dizang kill people?"

···
"For the so-called justice in his own heart."

Shaoren sighed and said with a smile, he never understood Ksitigarbha's paranoia.

The room fell silent.

However, there was still a little clicking sound, which was Chu eating the snacks on the plate.

Shaoren looked at Chu, and his gaze paused for a moment.

How should I put it, he has never seen such a disregard for the atmosphere.

He stared at it for a while, with a smile in his eyes, and asked.

"Are the dim sum delicious?"

Chu's mouth finally stopped, and with a flat expression, he nodded his head.

"Ah."

"Ha ha."

Shaoren chuckled lightly, seemed very happy, picked up another piece of dessert and handed it to Chu.

"Then eat more. I am the owner of this dim sum restaurant. If the girl likes it, you can come to my place next time you pass by, and I will make it for you."

"Okay." Chu wiped the dim sum residue from the corner of his mouth, took the new dim sum from Shaoren's hand, and put it into his mouth.

"Kacha Kacha..."

Shaoren smiled happily, while Yingzi cast a helpless glance at the people beside her.

Sometimes she really wonders if a few snacks can get rid of the first abduction.

However, the atmosphere in the room was a little more relaxed.

If this is not a path of vengeance.
