Chapter 42
Chapter 42
Although the outside is still dark and the time cannot be seen, after repairing the doors and windows and arranging the few things that were blown by the strong wind, Ichiro Wuichiro, who is in the growth period, let out a gurgling sound in his stomach. The two looked at each other awkwardly.
"Anyway! Let's get something to eat first!" As a good brother, Ichiro felt that he couldn't let his growing brother starve, so he simply threw the two obtrusive knives into the corner and took out the firewood from the stove. Prepare to cook the rice first, "Muichiro, go wash the rice, and I'll wash some wild vegetables and sweet potatoes."
"it is good."
Upon receiving the instruction, Wuichiro first removed the lid of the wooden bucket in the corner, then took out a large bowl, and scooped out half a bowl of rice carefully from the rice bucket.
Ichiro, who was throwing sweet potatoes into the fire beside him, saw his younger brother carefully holding the little bit of rice as if he was holding some treasure, and his heart felt sore.
The little money earned from selling firewood was indeed not enough for the two brothers.
If, according to what that frighteningly energetic boy said, joining the Ghost Killing Squad, their quality of life would be greatly improved, right?
Looking at his younger brother's thin back, Ichiro's eyes dimmed for a moment, but he soon cheered up, stood up holding the sweet potatoes and wild vegetables he had picked, and quickly walked a few steps to catch up with his younger brother.
"Today's wild vegetables are very beautiful in color, and I think they will be delicious." Muichiro, holding the bowl steadily in his left hand, stretched out his right hand, and pushed open the wooden door that was just repaired, "It would be great if we could pick such good wild vegetables tomorrow." gone."
"The weather is messed up by that woman now. Tomorrow there may not be any grass growing in the suburbs." Ichiro still has a heart about Chiharu's manipulation of the weather to scare them, because he is afraid that his innocent brother will be cheated away, and he will be there all the time. Looking for an opportunity to black her, "Muichiro, you—"
The boy's angry voice suddenly stopped.
The howling wind was mixed with the sound of an ominous galloping beast, piercing through the cicadas, piercing their ears like sharp knives.
"Get down!"
Wuichiro, who was walking in front, reacted faster than his elder brother. He decisively threw away the bowl containing the crystal rice in his hand, threw himself backwards sideways, and threw Ichiro to the ground.
"Brother be careful!"
During the movement, the sharp claws of cold wind that made the hairs stand on end brushed across the top of Muichiro's head, splitting a few strands of the boy's long black and smooth hair.
"I didn't expect that in this weird weather today, I would find two such delicious cubs~" The voice was sharp, and the monster with a strangely sweet ending was dark green all over, and its slender limbs were tightly knit like a praying mantis. Sticking to the corner, "So, which one should we start with~"
What's this?Is Mr. Xing Shoulang talking about ghosts? !
It was the first time to see such a talking monster of the opposite sex, Ichiro Muichiro was very shocked, and even missed the best time to escape.
"Let's think about it, um, let's start by standing in front and let me just pounce on the little brat~"
After finishing speaking, the monster spitting out bright red snake core stepped on the corner of the wall and kicked vigorously, swooped down from the wall, and appeared in front of Shi Tou twins in a blink of an eye!
Ghosts actually exist!What did Mr. Anjuro say in the morning?There are only two ways to kill them, one is to irradiate them with the sun, and the other——
When life and death were at stake, Ichiro's mind went blank, and he suddenly couldn't make any response. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't think of another way.
"Kacha——" The crisp sound of the blade being unsheathed, accompanied by a clear sword light, cut through the fog that hovered in Ichiro's mind, and instantly woke him up from that dazed and lost state, " Muichiro?"
His twin brother, who did not know when he picked up the sun wheel knife in the corner, drew it out of its sheath, and stood in front of him without hesitation. His thin body erupted with incredible strength, blocking the sharp claws that were stabbing him.
"Ghost, ha, what a mouthful of nonsense." The handsome young man held a knife in both hands, his fair face was bulging with veins, and he was panting unsteadily, "Obviously he said he was going to attack me, but now he turns around again." head aimed at brother."
"Because of this, I can see your desperate eyes~" The monster with hands and feet like a praying mantis is tall and slender. When it stood upright, its head touched the roof of Shitou's wooden house, and its orange compound eyes stared condescendingly. Muichiro, his bright red tongue licked the corner of his mouth with a malicious smile, "Eat your favorite brother bit by bit in front of you, you will definitely show a very good expression!"
"Just thinking about it makes me want to cry!"
The shrill voice of the ghost became high-pitched, the pressure on Wuichiro's blade increased, the teeth-stinging metal friction sounded, sporadic sparks flashed, and Wuichiro, who was holding the knife in both hands, could not help but bend his knees.
no!I can't hold it anymore!what to do--
"Chong-"
There was another clang of metal colliding, and Muichiro, whose forehead was dripping with sweat, lightened his arms.
"You monster—! Get away from my brother!"
'Monsters that die only when the sun shines on them, or if they cut off their necks with a blade called a sun wheel knife, we call them ghosts. '
When he picked up the Japanese sword in the corner and drew it out of its sheath, in the white light of the sword, Ichiro finally remembered what Purgatory Kyojuro said to them at that time.
So he jumped up and raised the blade, and slashed at the monster's neck without hesitation.
It's a pity that it was expected again, and he missed it.
"Hee hee, this kind of slow knife, who do you want to kill?"
Oni, who was suppressing Muichiro with his blade, disappeared at some point, and Ichiro's blade missed, almost hitting Muichiro's shoulder.
The two brothers exchanged glances and scanned the room, and soon found the culprit in the upper left corner.
But it's useless if they can find it with their eyes, because almost at the same time when their eyes locked on the target, the dark green praying mantis monster disappeared again. .
not good!His goal is brother!Can't let him succeed!
For a moment, Wuichiro suddenly felt that his field of vision was much clearer, and all the movements around him seemed to be infinitely slowed down. He could clearly see the trajectory of the monster with his right arm outstretched, and he could even clearly see the monster who was seen by his blow. The bright red blood bloomed from the chest of the middle and queen brother.
no!Get moving!In this posture, step forward with your right foot, move your center of gravity forward and swing the blade for a moment!That would cut off his neck just right!
Although the brain thought about what to do next in an instant, and the body broke through the limit and completed the movement of moving forward and swinging the knife in an instant, it was a step too late after all.
When the blade that turned blue-green at some point was still a palm away from Oni's neck, Oni's sharp forearm had already pierced Ichiro's dark-striped shirt.
"elder brother--!"
A victorious smile appeared on the corner of the ghost's mouth. He ignored the ethereal and murderous sun-knife above his head, and put all his energy on the right arm that was about to pierce the heart of the little ghost in front of him.
As long as you stab this kid into a skewer, and then maintain this momentum and take half a step forward, you can smoothly avoid the blade of another kid——
suddenly!The strong wind blew through the gate, and an invisible barrier made of wind blocked the right arm of Guiqianqian, preventing him from moving an inch.
What's this? ! ! !
Not good!A swordsman with a strong murderous aura is coming this way!So fast!Is it a column?
An ominous premonition haunted his heart, and the ghost's desire to survive made him instantly abandon the delicious Shitou twins in front of him, roll sideways to avoid Wuichiro's blade, and quickly fled towards the wide open gate.
However, he was still one step too late.
"Take the strong to bully the weak, bully the young, I will never forgive you!"
Bright flames cut through the gloomy sky, chopped off the neck of the ghost who had just stepped on the door frame, and rolled out of the door.
But at this moment, all the dark clouds covering the sun dissipated, and the bright sunlight enveloped the earth, instantly turning the unbelievable ghost into ashes.
"Really, obviously I have prepared the sun, as long as the wind blows that ghost out, I can kill him. Xing Shourou, your knife is completely unnecessary." A white rope wooden clog stepped on the little ashes left by the ghost after it dissipated in the sun Then, he walked into the house slowly, "You have snatched away the limelight in the end. How can I develop the script of saving the hero that I originally planned?"
"Haha! This... How about I explain it to the Ichiro boy and the Wuichiro boy?" After thinking about it carefully, the purgatory Kyojuro scratched his head and said with some embarrassment, "I was wrong at the time." Seeing that this ghost was planning to attack boy Ichiro, I cut off its neck as a habit!"
"So-so-say-! I've said it all! I'm watching and I can guarantee that the two of them will not have an accident with my life! Who told you to run so fast and not listen to me? There is a ghost dance behind Is Tsuji Muchan chasing you?"
"Hmm, but if Wu Mi is chasing me, then I will never run, but stop and try to cut off his neck!"
"Who told you this..."
With a long sigh, Qian Qing gave up continuing this meaningless argument with Xing Shou Lang, and turned her eyes to Shi Tou Gemini, who had just recovered from her senses and frowned ferociously, and planned to ask her for an explanation.
"The monster just now, did you attract it?"
Chiharu was also a little surprised that it was the violent Ichiro who spoke first, but Muichiro who had lost his docile appearance as a little sheep, and who had sharp and cold eyes like new snow.
This is really... When we first met, I called her the messenger of the wind with a smile, but now I am a cold 'you'... Oh, men are really fickle.
"I'm Haruzhu from the Demon Killing Team, why would I do such a thing?" Facing Muichiro's questioning, Chiharu calmly denied, "That ghost has been targeting you two tender fairies for a long time, Even if I didn't intervene, he will definitely not be able to resist attacking you within this month...or say it?"
"Then what do you mean by doing this? You want us to be grateful to you?" Chiharu's tone of voice really angered Ichiro, and he didn't care whether the other party was a mysterious person with special powers, so he spoke out violently Satire.
"That's not true, otherwise I wouldn't have given you the Rilun Saber." At this time, Qianqing was a little thankful that she listened to Tianyin's persuasion and didn't follow the naive routine in the script, "I just let you face each other directly. For danger, it is better to make a more intuitive choice."
"Now that you have learned about the existence of ghosts, you still want to stay in the mountains and chop firewood to live a life of 'paradise' like before, so that when danger comes, you don't have enough to protect yourself and your brothers. power?"
Qianqing looked at the beautiful blue-green blade in Wuichiro's hand, lowered her voice and restrained her emotions, without any inducement in her words, and simply put the problem in front of them.
"Chop firewood or chop ghosts, you choose."
The author has something to say: I just took the battles that are not very important!I'm going to start the infinite train in the next chapter!
