Chapter 132
In the next few months, the Butterfly House was no different from entering a devil's lair for the wounded Demon Slayer Corps who were carried there by the Anbu personnel.
No, it should be said that for those troublemakers who are injured and still cursing, that place is a devil's den.
Whenever these people acted in a way that did not cooperate with the doctors here, the medical staff here would run to call for help.
No matter whether it was the three gentlemen with the same name as the famous sword or the little ancestor who was as close to the Butterfly Sisters as a sister, as soon as any one of them came over, the others had to behave themselves, otherwise they would have to roll up their sleeves and fight directly.
Moreover, this simple and crude method becomes faster, more accurate and cruel as Huazhu remains unconscious for a long time. Often, when someone arrives, they don't even give them time to say a word. They either beat them or take a lot of blood, and leave the rest of the work to others.
As dusk approached, Mahakulika walked along the wooden corridor carrying a sliced watermelon and came to the girl who was leaning against the pillar reading a letter.
He placed the tray in front of her and hesitated between sitting down and leaving. When his eyes fell on the girl's wrinkled face, he chose the latter.
Golden eyes fell on the letter held by the girl and asked, "What happened?"
Qingxi raised his head and pressed his forehead, then said in a low voice, "A letter from Grandma Su. Last month, Mrs. Mikoto had a high fever, and Mr. Tokito went out to collect herbs in the rain and fell down the mountain. He is dead... Mrs. Mikoto didn't survive and passed away too.
...Ichiro and Muichiro no longer have a father or mother."
As she spoke, she simply handed him the letter in her hand and let him read it himself.
While he was reading the letter, Qingxi was talking to herself again, "Grandpa Qin and Grandma Su want them to move out of the mountains and live with them, but Youyilang doesn't want to, and his personality has even become radical... She wants to ask me to go over and see if I can convince them.
...I really can't convince them, so she wants me to go over and convince them to learn some sword skills to protect themselves. After all, they're only ten years old this year, living in the mountains with man-eating monsters outside. If they don't have any self-protection skills, they'll look like two delicious snacks, waiting for someone to come and eat them."
"It's just..." Qingxi's already wrinkled face became more wrinkled with worry. "I'm worried about this place."
"Sister Kanae isn't waking up, and Sister Shinobu has become increasingly sullen over the past few months. She's lost her former temper, but the patients recuperating here are all so troublesome. I have a feeling that if I take any of you away, the two left behind will have to face a group of monkeys ready to rebel and become the masters..."
She had also thought about asking Mr. Purgatory, who lived nearby, to come and help out.
However, it’s okay to come here once or twice, but we can’t let a grown man with a wife and children stay in the Butterfly House forever.
His daily routine is completely different from that of a normal person. Occasionally, when the weather is bad, he still has to go out during the day to patrol the area to see if there are any traces of ghosts. There is not much time to rest, and he has to set aside some of it to accompany his wife and children... Forget it, just spare Mr. Purgatory.
As for the other pillars...
Their houses were all within their patrol area, so none of them was as close to the Butterfly House as the Purgatory House.
Qingxi sighed deeply, and she murmured, "I kind of miss Dr. Ueno.
If he comes back now, I believe that even if I take you three with me, he can overwhelm everyone here by himself."
However, she didn't know where he had gone, nor did she know whether to ask Ubuyashiki Kazuya if he could call him back.
Qingxi held her head and wailed, "Ah, what should I do? There are so many things. I'm suffocating."
Seeing the girl with her long hair loose lying on the floor of the corridor throwing a tantrum and rolling around to vent her anger, Dajuligala did not stop her.
In his opinion, it was better for her to vent like this than for Shinobu Kocho to have a gloomy face and suppress her emotions every day.
Either they explode in silence or they become perverted in silence. This is the most real comparison between the two of them.
Compared with the latter, the former's outburst and venting are obviously the best.
Dajuligala quietly watched the girl venting her emotions for nearly three months. After she had vented enough and finally realized that she was like a crazy woman and was too rude, he pushed the tray towards her.
Qingxi embarrassedly used her hands as a comb, combing her extremely messy hair until it was smoothed out before she picked up a piece of watermelon and started eating.
The watermelon that had been cooled in the well water was very cool and sweet. What made her happy was that the watermelon was just right. It was not overripe and had a crunchy texture when eaten in one bite, nor was it green and not fully grown.
Dajuligala also picked up a piece of watermelon. He took a bite and said, "If we don't have enough manpower, we can summon a few more swords."
.
"I don't know how to handle it over there when I go there. Although I've already mentioned it to the lord, and asked him to let him wander around without a word after he's done, and asked Dr. Ueno, who sent a letter back by the crow, to come back to "look after the house", the lord agreed. However, if his current place is far away, I don't know how many days it will take for him to come back. Sister Shinobu's place... Anyway, I'm going to have to rely on you to look after the Butterfly House for a while."
In the front yard of Butterfly House, Qingxi, wearing a set of clothes and pants that were easy to move in, kept giving instructions to a black-haired boy who was more than a head taller than her.
"Also, Mr. Tomioka's haori was given to me to cover himself with before, so he didn't take it back. Later, he didn't come to Butterfly House for a while, so I washed the haori and didn't return it. If he comes after I leave, please return it to him for me. I'll put the haori in the room where I rest... Well, be careful when you return it... His haori was cut and spliced together from the dress that his deceased sister often wore and the best dress of the same kind that was also deceased... It looks okay from a distance, but the fabric at the splicing is almost fraying when you look closely. I also cleaned up the hair a little, but I didn't dare sew anything else for him.
There's a new one next to the haori. The two fabrics are easy to find, and they're both copied from his. If he comes over and sees it, and there's nothing wrong with his face, let him wear it. If he's really resistant, don't give it to him."
As Qingxi was talking, people started to complain, "Even if he originally wanted to stay and wanted to take his sister and companions with him to kill demons, he shouldn't have worn a haori made from their clothes for four or five years, and he wears it year-round. Even the best fabric will wear out... And he wears it every day to slay demons in the woods and alleys. This haori has been worn out to this extent for so long, I want to praise it."
Yagen Toushirou looked at the girl who had lost weight in the past few months even though she had skipped three meals a day and had snacks every day. The little fat on her face was gone. The girl was chattering like a mother who went out to work but was worried about her children at home. The girl nodded cooperatively. When she finally stopped talking, he turned his attention to the two summoned swordsmen standing quietly behind her.
"Higiri-dono, Horikawa-san, the general..."
Yagen Toushirou had only said half of his words when a burst of hurried footsteps came from the corridor. The sound came from far away and attracted the attention of the four people in the front yard.
"That's great, Ah Xi, you haven't left yet." Kanzaki Aoi held on to the pillar, she said while panting, "Ka-Kaname is awake."
Qingxi was stunned at first, but then she screamed and left the three people around her and rushed to the corridor like a gust of wind. She took off her shoes in a hurry and ran back like the wind with Kanzaki Aoi who came to tell her.
Yagen Toushirou, who was left standing there, adjusted his glasses and threw them down, saying, "I'll go over and take a look." The next moment, he disappeared.
Higekiri and Horikawa Kunihiro, who had been summoned from Honmaru simply because they didn't have enough people around them, looked at each other in surprise.
The young man with creamy yellow hair smiled broadly. He said in a soft, harmless voice, "Well, let's go find Tsurumaru or Daikuri."
Horikawa Kunhiro nodded.
"I wonder if the master will leave today."
"Hmm..." the young man said in a drawn-out voice. He then said optimistically, "It seems the Master can delay what he's about to do. In that case, it won't matter if he sets off later."
The two people walked in the direction where the three people in front disappeared while communicating.
They were summoned only yesterday, and they hadn't figured out many things here yet when they were forced to accompany this Shinsengumi who suddenly appeared without the knowledge of all the sword men to Jingxin Mountain. Now this young Shinsengumi has something to do and is not ready to leave immediately. This is convenient for them to capture their companions and ask them some questions. At the very least, they need to let them know the current situation.
.
Qingxi followed Kanzaki Aoi in like the wind, and the sound of their footsteps made the two girls facing each other in the room with tears in their eyes feel as if the atmosphere was interrupted and they couldn't cry.
After a while, two figures suddenly appeared at the door, blocking the open shoji door tightly and blocking most of the sunlight coming in from outside.
"Sister Kanae~" Seeing the person who had been lying down for more than three months sitting up next to Shinobu Kocho, Qingxi dodged and the person sat down on her other side.
Without waiting for Kocho Shinobu next door to wipe away the tears from her eyes, she started to complain to Kocho Kanae.
Sister Shinobu has become extremely terrifying, like a ferocious beast in human skin. If any patient from the Butterfly House falls into her hands, even those who are still alive will be "killed" by her until only a trace of warmth remains. She did not even mention the three words "female Shura" on Shinobu Kocho's forehead.
As for the result of her complaint...you know what's the point of fighting a weakling? Isn't it normal to get beaten?
Yagen Toushirou stood at the door of the shoji for a while, and when he saw Kanae Kocho looking at him, he nodded silently at her and left silently.
On the way back, he met Kurihana Ryokanai who had also received the news and was running over here. He called her.
"Miss Kanae just woke up. If there's any porridge or soup in the kitchen, you could serve her a bowl and send it over."
When Kurihana Ryokanai was called, she froze in place. Looking at the girl like that, Yagen Toushirou knew that she had a mental problem again.
He was not being considerate at all. He just took out a coin from the pocket of his white coat and, to the other party's surprise, slapped the inscribed side upwards into his palm.
Faced with the girl's stunned expression, Yagen Toushirou, who had imitated his general's rogue behavior, chuckled softly and said, "It's the side with the words on it. That way, Chana-kun, you can go to the kitchen."
Li Hua Luo Xiang Nai called out: "..."
There was a big question mark in the girl's little head.
My sister taught me the method of flipping a coin to make a choice because I didn't know what to do in a situation. Now I'm being fooled by Ah Xi and her people... Is it necessary for me to flip a coin again?
