2 Entering the Butterfly House and using the water jet to save Fengchen
2.
Lianzi followed the young man and fell one step behind. She tried to speed up her pace to catch up with him.
She continued, "What's your name, sir? My name is Lianzi."
Tomioka Giyu: "You don't need to know." The name of a mediocre person like him is really not worth mentioning.
Lianzi said, "Sir, you saved me. I should know your name."
"I'm not your savior." He was just carrying out a mission, how could he be considered her savior.
The girl's eyes flashed. Both methods were wrong, and this person didn't seem angry. It seemed that he had a good temper. She could still continue to look for ways.
"I want to know the gentleman's name."
"...Tomioka Giyu."
It seemed impossible to refuse a girl's request. Tomioka Giyuu had a blank expression on his face, and his thoughts were completely unrecognizable.
They walked out of Yugoku, and Giyu Tomioka planned to go to the headquarters, but soon he saw the figure of the cannibal again.
It's almost dawn, and there are still cannibals.
He stopped and placed his hand on the Sun Blade at his waist.
I forgot to bandage her wound, if it was thin blood.
It's a low-level ghost, easy to deal with. Tomioka Giyuu looked at the cannibal ghost that appeared in front of him and made a judgment.
He quickly stepped forward and engaged in a fight with the ogre, unleashing his Water Breathing sword technique from the tip of his blade. In just a moment, he had chopped off the ogre's head.
The young man stood up, raised his arm, and sheathed his knife.
He subconsciously turned around, wanting to see Reiko's reaction, but found the girl lying on the ground with her eyes closed and breathing weakly.
...Were we ambushed?
Tomioka Giyu was still thinking, but his crow flapped its wings and shouted, "She's unconscious!"
A trace of confusion flashed across the slow-witted swordsman's eyes, and then he realized that the girl had been caught in the rain and was already thin. She would definitely not be able to bear following him for such a long distance.
Wait for Yin to come and take her back?
Giyu Tomioka walked over to the girl curled up on the gravel ground, squatted down, and poked her with his finger.
Crow: “…”
What is Water Pillar-sama doing?!
After being reminded by Jiao Ya again, Tomioka Giyu finally realized that if he didn't take the girl to see a doctor, she might get a fever, get sick, or even die.
Mr. Shuizhu's expression instantly became serious, the only difference from usual being that his brows were slightly furrowed.
He did not forget that Lianzi had thin blood, and quickly discovered the wound on the palm of his hand.
Tomioka Giyuu always carried bandages with him, so he could quickly bandage and stop the bleeding after getting injured. After quickly bandaging the blistered, white, frightening hand, he nimbly lifted the man onto his back. As he stood up, he felt a moment of daze... a lightness.
Then he fixed the Sun Blade at his waist to make it easier for him to run.
The sky was gray and dawned. A young man wearing a patchwork haori was running very fast along a mountain path. His figure passed by, leaving only dead leaves swirling up, and then falling lightly.
In the early morning, Giyu Tomioka returned to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.
He subconsciously wanted to go to the headquarters, but soon remembered something, changed his steps, and ran towards the butterfly house next to it.
On my back, the soft body moved.
She seemed to wake up.
The Butterfly House was right in front of them. It was too early, and there were only a few people stretching outside the Butterfly House. The team members who had completed their mission came back earlier than Giyu Tomioka and had already gone to rest.
"Mr. Tomioka didn't abandon me."
"Thank you."
The delicate voice, which seemed to be blown away by the wind, fell into his ears.
Lord Shuizhu frowned and ran straight to the doctor's room.
He didn't respond, as if he didn't hear.
Lianzi was sure that he heard it.
Still a little unhappy.
She must be unhappy because she thought he would abandon an ordinary person who was sick, unconscious and injured.
After a brief conversation, Lianzi got to know this person very well.
Yamei was right. If Reiko became a prostitute, she would definitely be the most famous courtesan in Yuguo.
She is beautiful enough, cruel enough, very aware of her own strengths, good at observing people's words and expressions, and intelligent is not enough to describe her. She can analyze people's hearts in just a few words.
When facing a powerful person, she can judge the attitude she should adopt in the shortest time, whether it is pride or weakness, she can do it.
More importantly, she is very patient.
Ever since the day she was sold to Youguo, Lianzi never thought of wasting her time there as a prostitute.
Take every opportunity to escape from that place.
The doctor's voice and the young man's still formal answer could be heard faintly. The clean and warm mattress and the faint smell of medicine lingered. Lianzi knew that she had made the right bet.
God is also helping her.
Intense fatigue came over her and she could no longer resist it and fell into a deep sleep.
Outside the ward, the doctor looked at Mr. Shuizhu and felt a headache.
"Master Shuizhu, aren't you going to take a rest?" he asked.
Tomioka Giyu: "Why isn't she awake yet?"
I just got sick and had a fever from being caught in the rain, how could I have been unconscious for so long?
The doctor was helpless and explained: "This girl has been abused for a long time and is very weak. I am afraid that she has not had a full meal for a long time before she met Master Shuizhu."
Tomioka Giyuu was silent for a moment.
He had never been to Youguo, so naturally he didn't know what the people living there were like.
Is that so? He frowned.
Finally, Giyu Tomioka took another look at the open door of the ward. The girl was lying in a white quilt, her palm-sized face slightly wrinkled, as if she was having a nightmare.
Even though she is sick and pale, it is difficult to conceal the beauty between her eyebrows and eyes.
He looked away, nodded, turned around and walked outside.
After a night of work, he really needed to rest.
When I walked out of the house, I suddenly heard an excited voice: "Mr. Yiyong!"
Tomioka Giyu paused and looked at the young man standing under the eaves. The young man had messy hair, probably because he had just woken up and had no time to take care of it. The ends of his hair were dark red, as if they had been burned by flames.
His face was filled with an excited and admiring smile.
Kamado Tanjiro.
Giyu Tomioka connected the names in his heart.
The boy was chattering something, his face expressionless. He finally said "hmm", and it was unclear whether he heard it or not.
Tanjiro Kamado was a little worried: "Did Mr. Giyuu go to the doctor? Was he injured during the mission?"
"Don't worry about it."
Getting injured during a mission is perfectly normal, so why worry about such a small thing? Tomioka Giyuu thought, not realizing how strange his words were.
However, Tanjiro Kamado was just stunned and was not affected at all. He talked for a long time before reluctantly saying goodbye to Giyu Tomioka.
Tomioka Giyu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
He turned and walked towards the headquarters. By then, the sun had risen, at least three hours later than his usual return time.
If it weren't for the fact that Yuya explained the situation in advance, Ubuyashiki Yoya would have sent someone to find Tomioka Giyu.
Tomioka Giyu first went to see the lord and explained the situation. After getting the lord's promise that he would ask the doctor to take good care of Reiko, his face remained expressionless. He just nodded, thanked the lord, and left.
Tianyin walked out of the inner room and knelt beside Ubuyashiki Kyouya. She carefully placed the brewed tea cup on the floor and said softly, "It's really rare."
The lord looked at the water column leaving, smiled, and said "hmm".
It's just taking in a child, but that child has rare blood. Without the protection of the Demon Slayer Corps, she will encounter cannibal demons sooner or later, and an ordinary wisteria house cannot protect her.
The water column's behavior is normal.
But what was abnormal was that when he reported to Ubuyashiki Yoya, he spoke more than usual, emphasizing that the girl was in poor health and was abused by the proprietress of the Youguo inn.
Obviously cares a lot.
The lord smiled, but soon his expression turned sad again.
There is no such thing as rest for the Pillars, at least for Giyu Tomioka.
He rested as usual and went on a mission.
When Lianzi, who was staying in the Butterfly House, woke up, it was already early morning of the next day.
She was confused for a moment, and was sure that she had slept for a long time. It was impossible that only such a short time had passed. That was to say, she had slept for a whole day.
There were voices outside.
Tomioka Giyu looked at the doctor: "Why hasn't she woken up yet?"
There was obvious confusion in his eyes.
The doctor sighed slightly, "Miss Lianzi has an infection on the wound on her palm. She's had a fever all day. I've given her medicine three times, but the fever hasn't subsided."
The girl is too weak.
Tomioka Giyuu was silent and subconsciously turned his head to look inside the room.
But he was met with a pair of beautiful, fragile light green eyes.
He paused and said, "She's awake."
The doctor should go in and check.
The doctor was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He turned his head and walked quickly in. He walked to Lianzi's bed and asked her if she was feeling any other discomfort.
The girl's voice was a little hoarse as she answered softly.
Giyu Tomioka stood at the door. He should have relaxed and gone back to rest, but for some reason, he still stood there.
Perhaps it was the vague glance that, from time to time, lightly fell on him, like a feather falling on his heart, leaving a faint mark there.
The swordsman pursed his lips. The doctor handed the girl some water. She held the transparent cup, and her slender pale fingertips pressed on the cup, almost becoming translucent.
When the doctor turned around to get the water cup, Reiko smiled at the expressionless and even overly cold swordsman at the door. It was not a slight smile, and the curve of her mouth was a little big, but not too exaggerated. Instead, it made her thin face more lively.
Those light green eyes were also sparkling.
Tomioka Giyu finally came to his senses. His hand subconsciously touched his heavy Nichirin Sword, then he turned and walked away.
Lianzi smiled, lowered her eyes, and hid the light in her eyes.
The doctor advised her to rest quietly and just walk around occasionally, but not to do any strenuous exercise, such as walking briskly with Mr. Shuizhu the night before last.
She said her bones were a little fragile and could easily be fractured if she did strenuous exercise.
It's like a fragile white porcelain doll.
The doctor prescribed the medicine and sighed in his heart. If it weren't for Lord Shuizhu who saved her, the girl would have died of illness or other reasons in a short time, and there would be no need for the cannibal to come to her house.
It really tests his medical skills.
After the doctor left, Lianzi was the only one left in the room.
She leaned against the headboard of the bed and looked up at the furnishings in the room.
There was a soft bunk bed under her, which was different from the traditional Japanese-style room. However, judging from the wooden floor, there must be a Japanese-style room in this room. Reiko looked at the bunk bed next to her with some curiosity. She should be the only patient in this room, and the beds next to her were clean and tidy.
Are there beds like these in Yukōri? Of course not, the rooms in the okonomiyaki are all Japanese-style.
Lianzi is not entitled to use such a warm quilt.
The girl pinched the corner of the quilt with her pale fingers, and lowered her eyes, with the crow feathers casting a shadow under her eyes.
The man should be affiliated with an organization that has a lot of assets. Although the decoration in the house is not top-notch, it is better than that of most ordinary families.
Judging from the identical bunk beds next to them, this organization has many swordsmen like the men, who are responsible for killing monsters and often get injured, so there are four bunk beds in this small room.
The doctor was not wearing a kimono, but a newer style of shirt and pants. This organization was not like some wealthy masters who rejected Western culture.
A secret, monster-hunting, and wealthy organization, and that man's status is not low.
Lianzi's eyes flashed.
But here, she was still passive. This place was definitely not the same place where the man actually lived. From the few words in the conversation, it could be inferred that although it was not the same place, it was definitely not far away.
When footsteps were heard, Lianzi pursed her lips slightly, raised her fair face and looked towards the door.
It was a young man holding a tray, and on the tray was a steaming bowl, either medicine or food... The sweet smell of red beans wafted in the air, probably red bean porridge.
The young man was wearing a set of light-colored clothes and pants.
He had a warm smile on his face and looked approachable. His hair was a little messy, and it was obvious that it had not been taken care of. The ends of his hair were dark red, which was very recognizable.
Lianzi quickly extracted information from his familiar words.
This organization is called the Demon Slayer Corps, and the boy is also a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps. He is recuperating in a place called Butterfly House due to his injuries.
This is the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps. Normally, people are not allowed to be brought back at will. If Giyu Tomioka brings her back, it can be considered a violation of the team rules.
Her blood that can attract monsters is called rare blood.
The boy warned her not to get hurt when outside, especially at night, otherwise she would attract cannibals.
Lianzi's face was pale, but she still forced a smile at the young man and thanked him softly.
The boy was stunned and quickly waved his hands, saying that he was just there to deliver food and just liked to talk.
"I have no strength in my wrist, can you help?"
Lianzi showed a slightly embarrassed expression on her face at the right time. She looked up at the young man with some sadness between her brows.
The boy took a step back in fear, his face becoming even more embarrassed as he said, "Ah, I, I'll go find someone else."
Then he fled.
Lianzi watched his hurried steps.
The Buddha treated her well and gave her a face that was invincible.
