Chapter 125
"Ya Yan." The summer evening breeze blew on my face, and the girl's soft and harmless voice floated from the front.
"Hmm?" Yagen Toushirou just uttered a simple syllable through his nose.
"Tsukumogami can see the souls of the dead, right?" She tilted her head, and the strands of hair that were originally blown back by the evening breeze changed direction and hit her face. "I can see it if I open my eyes of clairvoyance, but why didn't either of us remember it just now?"
She asked doubtfully, and judging by the confusion in her eyes, it was obvious that this question had been bothering her for a long time.
Yagen Toushirou's body stiffened. He thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because...it's dark under the lamp."
"It's okay for me, because the dialysis eye was closed at that time, so I couldn't see the soul in that situation, but what about you, Yaoyan?" Qingxi murmured.
Yagen Toushirou remained silent. Could he say that it was because the deceased were often already very hurt by death, so in order not to add to their distress, he was used to pretending not to see the soul even if he saw it?
As if sensing the embarrassment of the black-haired boy sitting behind her, Qingxi sighed melancholy, as if to comfort him or herself. She said, "Today is our first time aboard the Jiro. As "white medical angels in the dark night," we lack experience, but with this experience, I believe we can do better next time."
Resisting the urge to complain about the self-proclaimed "white medical angel in the dark night", Yagen Toushirou tried hard to keep his face calm and nodded.
He continued, "Let's make a few sets of outer clothes first, so that the clothes we wear inside won't be stained by blood."
Qingxi: "I'll find time to do this."
Yagen Toushirou: "Don't worry, let yourself have a good rest after you go back."
Jiro carried the two back to Beiming Island's house before the sky was fully light. When the two of them got off Jiro, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Beiming Island Xingmei had just returned from patrol.
Smelling the familiar scent of blood in the air, Beimingyu Xingming paused and said, "Axi?"
"Xingming, Yaoyan and I are back." Qingxi replied to him. "I'm not injured. The blood on my body belongs to someone else."
The girl was allowed to go out at night last night with the knowledge of everyone in the family. Although Beiming Island Xingming was still very worried, at least she was allowed to go out with the knowledge of the family and was accompanied by Yagen Toushirou, whose fighting power was almost as strong as that of the Pillar. It was not like what Tsurumaru Kuninaga said, because the adults in the family always disagreed, the child became rebellious and waited until everyone was asleep before going out alone at night.
"Yeah." Beimingyu Xingming responded in a low voice.
He reached out to rub the girl's head as usual, but the girl dodged him.
"Ah, don't rub your hair for now. I don't know where I got scratched, but there's blood on my hair. I just discovered it." Qingxi explained, "If Xingming wants to rub it, wait for me to go wash my hair and take a shower first."
After hearing the explanation, Beiming Island Xingming still stretched out his hand towards her head. He didn't seem to mind at all that after rubbing her hair, his hand was stained with blood mixed with the girl's sweat, which turned sticky. He continued to finish what he had just said: "Don't force yourself. If you are tired, it's okay to rest at home."
"Don't worry, I won't tire myself out." Qingxi assured, "I've already thought about it. Three days of night travel and two days of rest."
There's nothing wrong with this disguised form of working hard for three days and then drying the net for two days.
Beiming Island Xingming: "..."
This work arrangement is quite easy.
He changed the subject: "Don't neglect making amulets even on your days off. Wear all the successful ones."
"Yeah, I get it." Qingxi nodded in agreement, "Okay, Xingming, I won't chat with you anymore. I'm going to take a shower. I don't smell good at all right now."
There was only one bathroom in Beiming Island's house, and as the only girl in the family, the bathroom was occupied by her.
Fortunately, it is summer now and the weather is hot. For men, there is no problem in taking off clothes and washing shirtless in the yard.
...As long as you are thick-skinned enough and don't mind.
Do Gyoumei of Beiming Island and Toushirou of Yagen mind?
Not really.
One of them is a blind monk, and the other is a swordsman who has been to the battlefield. What they have in common is that they have both lived through difficult conditions, so they have no problem taking off their clothes and taking a bath shirtless in the open air.
As for the worry that the girl taking a shower in the bathroom behind them might finish before they do, they are not worried.
Girls have longer hair than theirs, so it takes longer to wash. She likes taking bubble baths, which also takes time. To sum up, if the total time she spends on washing her hair and taking a bath is less than 40 minutes to an hour, she will definitely not do a good job.
If it were them, they would have finished the entire process of shampooing and bathing in less than 40 minutes, with such quick speed and smooth movements.
Qingxi came out of the kitchen after washing her hair and taking a shower. Dajuligara had already prepared breakfast for five people. The five people sat in the living room and after eating breakfast, they either went to sleep or washed the dishes and then left.
In the kitchen, Tsurumaru Kuninaga, who was the one who had to wash the dishes because he didn't get up to make breakfast today, had a blank expression on his face because he suddenly discovered a very serious problem.
Bei Xingming goes out on patrol at night, and the master and Yao Yan go out to rescue people at night. It's over, and only Xiao Jialuo and I are left in the family, becoming the two people with the most regular schedules.
This is wrong!
This is very wrong!!!
I think he is the one who should be labeled as restless, but why was he arranged to stay at home with Xiao Jialuo?
Oh, so it turns out that when it comes to going out after dark, I am a "blind man", and when it comes to following my master, I am too heavy for Jiro to carry...
Emmmm, after all, he is the famous sword Tsurumaru Kuninaga, but he is actually despised like this?
Tsurumaru wanted to do something, but he found that there were too few people in this family, and three of them had to go out at night and rest during the day, and their schedules were opposite to his. Considering that one of them was still a little loli in the growth stage, Tsurumaru Kuninaga was at a loss, because he found that it was not easy for him to do something to disturb them at this time.
The thought of this made him uncomfortable.
He also wants to go out and rescue people (and have fun) at night!!!
It turns out that there are too few people. If there were a few more knives, I could leave the housework to them and let myself do whatever I want.
Thinking that Qingxi would no longer think of summoning the sword man since Yagen Toushirou had returned from the Butterfly House, Tsurumaru Kuninaga felt depressed. He even thought in his mind that if the master had been able to summon him successfully when they were still with Grandpa Qin and Grandma Su, then he could have let himself go right now...
After breakfast, Qingxi walked back to her room yawning all the way. She didn't know that He at home was about to cause trouble. As soon as she returned to the room, she took out the thin quilt. In this kind of weather, there was no need to take out the mattress to spread on the tatami. She just lay down and covered her belly with a small corner of the quilt. She rolled up the rest of the quilt into a ball, held it on her side, and closed her eyes to sleep.
Not long after, the sound of soft breathing could be heard from the quiet room, indicating that the girl lying on the tatami had fallen asleep.
Meow.
In the corridor, the sound of small animal footsteps was heard. After a while, a calico cat's head poked in from outside the shoji door.
Nuanju's eyes fell on the girl sleeping in the house. It took light steps on all fours, and its long tail swayed rhythmically from side to side.
The calico cat walked to the girl's head, rubbed her face and forehead with its soft body, and licked her nose with its little tongue, but still failed to wake the sleeping person.
It tilted its little head as if thinking about something that was troubling it. Finally, it seemed to have figured it out, or perhaps it didn't figure it out, so it lay down next to the girl's head, rolled over, curled up into a ball, closed its eyes and fell asleep with the girl.
After the first "official" time of going out at night to rescue people, Qingxi's cooperation with Yagen Toushirou became more and more tacit when they went out at night next time. They did this for a full six months. The level of their persistence surprised Beiming Island Xingming, who originally thought that the little girl would not be able to hold on.
Even on New Year's Day, except for the fact that she did not insist on joining everyone in the spring cleaning and stayed in her own room to catch up on her sleep, she woke up at two o'clock in the afternoon and started to prepare everyone's New Year's dinner. In the evening, everyone gathered together after dinner and left a handful of fairy wands for the two "empty nesters" at home. She wrapped herself up into a ball and went out again with Yagen Toushirou.
Oh, I need to mention here that although she and Yagen Toushirou became "angels in white at night" voluntarily, Ubuyashiki Kōya still paid them both, plus their mount Jiro and their crow, a salary after he found out.
Cat is so poor that only money is left.jpg
.
"Jiro, stop for a moment."
Above the sky, Yagen Toushirou reached out and patted the giant crow that was carrying them.
After hearing this, Jiro slowed down his flying speed, and it was even very humane.
"Ya Yan, what's wrong?" Qingxi turned around and asked.
"I heard a fight from the empty house down below." He unbuckled his seatbelt and shifted from a sitting position to a half-squat, his right hand resting on his Nichirin tanto. "I'll go down and take a look. If everything is alright, or if the situation is resolved, I'll notify the Admiral to come down. If I don't, Jiro, take the Admiral with you and ask Tsurumaru and Okutari to come over."
"Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself." Qingxi didn't answer his question about whether he would leave if he encountered danger. Instead, he said, "If it's a ghost and you can't beat it, it doesn't matter. I have something here that can blow it up. Just remember to hide when the time comes."
Yagen Toushirou chuckled, "Then I'll go down."
As Jiro deliberately landed, Yagen Toushirou jumped off Jiro's back. Qingxi took out the lantern fruit, and with the warm light of the lantern fruit, she could just barely see the boy's slender figure landing on the roof of the wooden house below. After a few flips, the figure flipped into the wooden house through the window.
After Yagen Toushirou went in, Jiro carried Kiyoki high up again and circled in the sky for a long time.
After Yagen Toushirou left, Qingxi had been counting the time in her mind. Ten minutes passed, twenty minutes passed, twenty-five minutes passed, and when she saw that almost thirty minutes were about to pass, she began to consider throwing the lantern fruit in her hand down to explode it.
However, even if you want to bomb, there is a skill to it. Otherwise, what if you just throw it randomly and end up bombing your own people?
Just as she lowered her head to survey the terrain of the wooden house, the roof of the wooden house was broken by someone. Seeing that the person was not Yagen and was not wearing the Demon Slayer Corps uniform, her hand holding the lantern fruit loosened and it fell towards her.
boom--
A huge explosion sounded, and sparks flew around like fireworks with gasoline, landing on the house that was originally built of wood. In an instant, all the wood was ignited, and a burnt smell wafted through the air.
Qingxi was facing the bottom of the house, her eyes hurt by the burning smoke. She patted Jiro's back and asked him to carry her to the side. At the moment she was taken away, a figure rushed out from the burning flames, and the cold light of the sword flashed. The person whose face was completely disfigured by the explosion, whose upper body was directly blown off and then slowly recovered, was cut in two.
"General, please drop the medical kit down for a moment."
Following the collapsed tail of the wooden house, Yagen Toushirou broke out of the window carrying a person on his back and came to the open space.
Qingxi heard the sound and dropped the medical kit near him, as she had other things to do.
This is the suburbs, surrounded by lush vegetation. The wooden house caught fire due to the explosion. If nothing is done, the flames will ignite all the surrounding vegetation, and eventually the flames will spread and become uncontrollable.
A large amount of water was collected from a nearby stream, and then poured from a high altitude onto the area where the flames were most intense. The flames were extinguished in just a moment, and no larger fire was caused.
