Han Feng stood in the yard, shirtless, waving the knife in his hand.
Sweat flowed down his body, soaking through his clothes and dripping to the ground.
"Ahem!"
Han Feng stopped waving when he heard the sound. When he saw the person coming, Han Feng put away his knife and bowed slightly.
"uncle"
"Yes." The middle-aged man smiled and nodded and came to Han Feng's side.
"Exercising"
"Um"
"How many times did it hit today?"
"Two thousand...plus two thousand..."
Hearing Han Feng's words, the corners of the middle-aged man's mouth twitched.
"Ahem..." The middle-aged man carefully observed his surroundings and whispered, "Are you punished?"
"Um"
The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly and thought to himself, "How many times has this happened..."
The middle-aged man looked at Han Feng who was sweating profusely and said, "How much did you swing?"
"3709"
After hearing Han Feng's answer, the middle-aged man touched his chin, "Okay, it's almost done. No need to wave the rest. Wash yourself and change some clothes and go out with me later."
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Han Feng said hesitantly, "But Sister Ying..."
"I'll tell you where Ying is, okay, go and wash up quickly!"
"Oh fine."
Han Feng put the knife on his waist and returned to his house.
A few moments
Han Feng walked out wearing a white yukata with green embroidery, and his slightly long hair was moist.
Seeing Han Feng come out, the middle-aged man waved.
"here."
When Han Feng walked up to the middle-aged man in front of him, he said, "I'll go out with you to buy some things later. There's a lot. Please help me get some."
Seeing Han Feng's hesitation, the middle-aged man laughed and said, "Haha, don't worry, I told Ying that she agreed. It's okay to go!"
After hearing what the middle-aged man said, Han Feng no longer had any worries and followed the middle-aged man out.
This middle-aged man is Yae Sakura, Yae Rin’s father, and the god of this village.
The name is unknown. Han Feng asked Yae Sakura, but Yae Sakura prevaricated him.
He is in charge of important things in the village such as sacrifices and praying for good weather for the village.
The people in the village also respect the Yae clan as the main clan and respect the people of the Yae clan.
Yae Sakura is also regarded as a miko-sama, and has the highest status in this god-worshiping village besides the god-lord.
While Yae Sakura was regarded as a miko-sama, she also shouldered the responsibility of protecting the safety of the villagers.
Status and responsibility are equivalent...
After leaving the mansion, Han Feng came to the village with a middle-aged man.
The first thing you notice when you come to the village is the seven-story tall pavilion.
Han Feng once again heard Yae Sakura mention the name of this building during a casual conversation, which was called "Tenshou Pavilion".
It has been guarded by the Yae Clan for generations, and it is said that evil objects are sealed in its seventh layer.
Looking further, at the end of the village's main road, there is a shrine, which enshrines the village's patron saint, the "Fox God".
The huge cherry blossom tree Han Feng looks like the one in Changkong City.
Han Feng and the middle-aged man were walking on the road, and the villagers on the road stopped to say hello to the middle-aged man.
"Hello, Lord God."
"The Lord God is well!"
"Lord God..."
The middle-aged man also smiled and nodded to greet the surrounding villagers.
Because Han Feng was following the middle-aged man, the surrounding villagers nodded in greeting even though they did not recognize Han Feng.
Han Feng also quickly returned the gift.
However, the eyes of the surrounding villagers seemed gentle, but there was something hidden in them, which made Han Feng's hair stand on end.
Looking at the middle-aged man walking in front of him, Han Feng felt embarrassed to speak.
"What's wrong?" The middle-aged man, who felt something strange about Han Feng, turned around and asked.
Looking at the person in front of him, Han Feng swallowed the questions in his mouth, shook his head and said, "I feel a little uncomfortable."
Hearing Han Feng's words, the middle-aged man nodded to the people around him and said, "I have been living in the village for a month. I thought you had already adapted."
Han Feng curled his lips when he heard the middle-aged man's words and said, "You don't know, Sister Ying didn't allow me to leave the mansion at all. The only time I left was when Sister Ying said that there was not enough food at home and she wanted to go out to buy some, so I followed her.
I came out, and I didn’t meet so many people that day.”
The middle-aged man smiled when he heard Han Feng's words and looked up at the sky, his face full of sadness...
"She is also doing it for your own good..."
"Ok, I know."
Arriving at a store, Han Feng was asked to wait outside, and the middle-aged man walked in alone.
Han Feng stood outside, looking at the passers-by around him, feeling that their eyes were looking at him, although they were smiling, they were very cold.
Han Feng felt that the gazes around him always made him want to draw his sword, so he unnaturally touched his waist with his right hand but found nothing.
After scratching twice, Han Feng put down his hands and endured the horror until the middle-aged man came out.
"Wow~"
Han Feng turned around when he heard the door open and saw a middle-aged man walking out holding two large bags.
Han Feng quickly stepped forward and took a packet.
The middle-aged man obviously felt much more relaxed after Han Feng took the package.
Han Feng weighed the package in his hand and found that it was indeed quite heavy.
"Okay, let's go back"
Han Feng listened to the middle-aged man's words and responded, then followed the middle-aged man's pace.
On the way home, the villagers beside the road were smiling, as if something good was about to happen.
Back at the mansion, Yae Sakura walked out as soon as she opened the door and took what Han Feng was holding.
"Sister Sakura"
"Hmm..." A faint "hmm" showed that the master was in a bad mood.
The middle-aged man looked at Yae Sakura and nodded, as if telling Yae Sakura something.
Seeing the middle-aged man nodding, Yae Sakura's face became even more melancholy.
Yae Sakura turned to Han Feng and said, "Xiao Feng, go and accompany Rin tonight. My father and I will not be back tonight. I have already prepared the food and put it in the kitchen. Remember, no matter what you hear tonight, don't take it."
come out."
"ah?"
Han Feng was stunned when he heard Yae Sakura's words.
Yae Sakura asked again, "Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand."
After receiving a positive answer, Yae Sakura forced out a smile, turned around and followed the middle-aged man away.
Han Feng looked at the two people walking away and scratched his head, "I always feel like something is about to happen."
Walking into the mansion, Han Feng closed the door behind him.
Turn around…
"Huh? Rin, why did you come out? Come back quickly. What should you do if you catch a cold?"
In his sight, Yae Rin was standing under the cherry blossom tree, with a frown on his face and a sad look on his face.
"Please, save my sister!"
Han Feng was stunned when he heard Rin's words. He looked at Rin, but his eyes were attracted by something behind Rin.
"The Tomb of My Sister Yae Rin"
"wrong!"
Han Feng looked at Lin again, but Lin disappeared. When his eyes turned again, even the tomb disappeared.
It was as if it was just an illusion.
Arriving under the cherry blossom tree, Han Feng circled around the trunk, then squatted down and took a closer look.
Han Feng felt a chill running down his spine and hurriedly walked to Lin's room.
Opening the door, Rin was sleeping soundly in the room, not at all like he had just appeared in the courtyard.
"Is it really an illusion just now?"
Looking at the sleeping Lin, Han Feng gently closed the door.
Standing in front of the door, what Yae Sakura just said suddenly came to mind.
He turned back to his room, took out his knife, and returned to Lin's room again.
Sit down cross-legged, place the knife across your legs and slightly close your eyelids.
As the sun went down, the village erupted in amazing cheers.
The sound was so loud that it was heard even in the Yae Mansion far away from the village.
Immediately, fire shot into the sky, and through the wall, Han Feng could clearly see where the fire was.
