Hearing the hostess's words, Lu Ban quickly thought of the bandaged man.
Those dressed so strangely must be invaders from foreign lands.
"Both of them are bandaged people..."
Lu Ban thought to himself.
"Why, do you want to see the big shot too?"
The hostess joked when she saw Amber suddenly standing still.
"Yeah, what time is it in the afternoon? She and I were just thinking of going out for a walk."
Lu Ban asked Amber to step back two steps and took the bamboo basket himself.
He and Amber returned to the room only after the hostess and the little girl left.
"It looks like someone is here to kill you."
Lu Ban confirmed the freshness of the fish. This live fish, which had just been caught not long ago, had no fishy smell and was best suited to boiling or steaming.
"What should we do?"
Amber was holding the corner of her clothes, feeling uneasy.
Life on the island made her feel that she could stay away from that kind of life, but the reality kept reminding her that she was a candidate for the chief priestess and was the focus of everyone's attention and expectations.
But Amber just wants to live a peaceful life now.
"Take a look at the situation first, and if necessary, kill the other party."
Lu Ban felt that when he said this, he was just like a retired professional killer.
Should he hug a potted plant and say a few words to it?
Oh, you are the potted plant, then it’s okay.
"……Um."
Amber nodded.
No matter how naive she was, she knew that these killers were coming for her. If she was not ruthless, she would be the one to die. Now that Amber had a happy life, she wanted to live on.
"I'll dress you up so that he won't recognize you easily. I can kill him on the spot this afternoon."
Lu Ban said, and then changed Amber's hairstyle.
"Why this hairstyle? Any explanation?"
Amber looked at her twin ponytails, somewhat confused.
“Isn’t this good?”
Lu Ban asked Amber to change into plain clothes and cover her face a little so that at least she couldn't be seen at a glance. The two cooked fish for lunch. In the afternoon, they walked towards the yamen of the island magistrate. Just in case, Lu Ban also brought a crowbar with him.
There are no more than a thousand residents on the island in total. Most of the men are still fishing at sea. Only women, the elderly, children, and some young men engaged in business come to join in the fun.
Lu Ban and Amber walked in the crowd. Among the group of women and children, the tall Lu Ban stood out a little.
He thought about it, stood under the tree, and listened from afar, letting Amber hide behind the tree. As for Laika, she was circling nearby, wondering if she had found other dogs of the same kind playing in the mud.
Watching the island magistrate walking out of the yamen, Lu Ban soon saw the visiting "big shot".
The Bandage Man indeed.
His entire body was wrapped in bandages, his body was made of gray mist, and he had only one blood-red eye.
In the eyes of the people on Hedao Island, he is just a man covered in scars and wrapped in bandages. Only the chosen ones from foreign lands like Lu Ban can see his true face.
"Everyone, I am a special envoy from the Wajima Taisha Shrine. I am here for one reason only, and that is to apprehend the fugitive."
He spoke, his voice low and husky, like an experienced wolf.
"A shrine maiden was corrupted by the filth and became a disaster shrine maiden. She and a man fled from Hedao Island and are wandering around here. They will attract attacks from the filth. If anyone sees these two people, please contact us immediately. The shrine has a big reward."
He put up two reward posters.
Lu Ban took a look and was surprised.
The quality of these two portraits is very high. Compared with those artistic abstract paintings where the person himself is unrecognizable, these portraits look like photographs and it is hard to imagine that they were drawn with a pen.
“Perhaps it is also some kind of extraordinary prop.”
Lu Ban thought that he saw the hostess who gave him fish in the morning, and she must have recognized Amber and Lu Ban. She looked around and pulled her daughter up.
"It seems that their method is to label you as a troublemaker witch and mobilize ordinary people to hunt you down."
Lu Ban said to Amber who was hiding behind the tree.
Amber bit her lower lip lightly. She didn't expect the other party to use such a method.
If he doesn't kill him, he will be wanted wherever he goes.
The only way to put an end to all this is to go to Wajima Taisha Shrine and clarify one's identity.
"Luckily, Changfeng Island is the first island here. If we can get rid of it in time, at least no one on the other side of the ocean will know about these things."
Lu Ban thought about it and realized that in this island with poor transportation and communication, as long as the source of the rumor could be suppressed here, Amber could still get the life she wanted.
"So, Miss Miko, do you need me to kill him for you?"
Lu Ban suddenly had an idea and said a line from a movie.
"Please kill him for me."
Amber finally stopped hesitating.
"receive."
Lu Ban looked at the bandaged man who had returned to the yamen. He thought for a moment and asked Amber to go to the place where they landed. The small boat was hidden in the woods. After watching the witch leave, he picked up a bamboo hat and put it on his head. If he added a sword, he would be dressed like a wandering ronin.
It’s a pity that what Lu Ban had on his waist was a crowbar.
The crowd dispersed one after another, but Lu Ban walked towards the government office.
He attracted some attention by swimming upstream, but most people did not connect Lu Ban with the previous wanted poster.
Only the hostess trembled and hugged her daughter tightly when she saw Lu Ban's appearance.
"Flowers, flowers."
The little girl didn't understand anything yet, but when she saw Lu Ban, she smiled.
"Thank you for not reporting us directly just now. Please believe that we are not bad people."
Lu Ban said something to the hostess.
If she had reported it directly in front of the Bandaged Man, the entire island would probably have mobilized immediately, but she didn't. Lu Ban didn't know whether it was because she was afraid of his revenge or was willing to believe him and Amber, but it didn't matter, it was all the same.
The hostess's lips were blue and purple, her legs were shaking and she could barely stand.
Lu Ban didn't speak to her anymore, but came to the gate of the yamen.
There stood two island magistrates. They were confused at first, but soon connected Lu Ban with the picture on the wanted poster.
"It's you!!!"
The two men shouted and held the sticks in their hands, trying to stop Lu Ban.
"It has nothing to do with you. If you don't want to die, you'd better get out of the way."
Lu Ban raised the crowbar in his hand.
The two island magistrates took one look at each other and took two steps back.
But other people rushed out from behind, and these island followers looked at each other in pairs and rushed towards Lu Ban.
Snap——
Lu Ban threw away his bamboo hat, picked up the crowbar with one hand, and materialized [Last Words] with the other hand, and rushed towards the people who followed the island's rules.
