"No, I have a reason to go to the capital of God." Li Wei replied.
Even Yamabuki next to her showed a slightly surprised expression. It was the first time she saw Li Wei say such a long sentence. Before, Li Wei's replies to him were only short sentences.
The old man stopped asking questions, and just kept chattering, saying things like "Don't go and die", "Isn't it good to be alive?"
"Don't mind, my father has always been like this." The woman came to Li Wei and bowed slightly. Because of her big belly, she felt very weak in doing this.
Yamabuki looked at the woman's big belly, his eyes looking very curious.
The woman just smiled, not angry at Yamabuki's slightly rude behavior, but slowly told: "We escaped from Hihara Village. At that time, my husband broke up to protect us. My father escaped.
I seem to be nagging me all the time after that.”
After she finished speaking, there was a very vague sadness in the corners of her eyes, but she concealed it very well.
"Hey! By the way, you must have come from the west. How is the situation there?" The old man came over and asked.
"Monsters have also begun to appear over there. A small village there has been destroyed by demons. It was the swordsman who killed them." Shanbuki said weakly.
"What, there are demons in the west too?" The old man suddenly stood up and hurriedly pulled the woman next to him.
"Daughter, let's run quickly, run all night... we can't stay here any longer..." He quickly picked up the cow and packed up his things in a panic.
I didn't even have time to eat the food I had just prepared.
"We are running away first. You should run away too. Izumo Country is hopeless. Go to other countries or keep going west." The old man left in a hurry, leaving behind a small package.
The old man holding the cow hurriedly left. Through the weak light of the fire, Li Wei saw that his back was very stooped, like wheat that had been bent down.
The old man is now the only supporter of their family, and he still needs to take his eldest daughter and his unborn grandson to survive. I wonder if he will encounter monsters along the way, and more likely, other people who are fleeing.
.
Shanbuki went up to pick up the package, opened it and looked at it. Inside was kelp tied into a knot.
"Master Swordsman, look, it's kelp, kelp." Yamabuki seemed to be very happy to pick up the package and come to Li Wei. Then he looked carefully and found that the iron pot in front of Li Wei was also kelp, and he immediately smiled even more happily.
She was just quarreling with her old man and didn't realize that his eldest daughter had already cooked a pot of kelp.
After getting Li Wei's consent, she happily picked up the kelp with tachyons cut from tree branches, and even though she was burned, she still ate it happily.
She didn't seem to care at all about the dangers of the divine capital that the old man said.
"Sir, this is kombu. In the past, my family could only eat it occasionally during the Chinese New Year. My mother liked to make kombu rolls with wild vegetables and rice balls inside. It was the most delicious thing I have ever eaten."
Yamabuki picked up a piece of kelp again, and seemed to have thought of something. A happy smile appeared on his face, as if he was enjoying the most delicious thing in the world.
Even though Li Wei didn't reply, Yamabuki was still eating happily, with a dimple appearing on her young face.
"Every New Year, my mother would give me more kelp. She said that kelp is good for my body and can make me healthy." Yamabuki said, looking in the direction where the old man left, "That old man is really a
A good man, I hope he can be safe."
"maybe."
The next day, Li Wei walked east again. According to the conversation with the old man whom he met by chance yesterday, he learned that he was already very close to God.
It doesn't take more than a hundred miles at most to reach the divine capital.
And based on what he saw along the way, the closer he got to the capital city, the worse the demons were. The small village he woke up in at the beginning had not yet been invaded by demons, and Xiaoguan Village was killed by demons in less than a day. As we will see later, Instead, what we arrived at were ruins from a few days ago, the kind where even the demons had left.
It's like a shock wave spreading outward with Shendu as the center.
This time Levi was still traveling lightly, but Yamabuki seemed to have brought a lot of things with her, including an iron pot and a bundle of kelp. She seemed to have not eaten enough for a long time, and she fell asleep holding the kelp while giggling last night.
Maybe it was because of the cold weather, but she still coughed from time to time. When Levi turned his head, it seemed like she was smiling at him as if nothing was wrong, as if she was having fun.
Then Yamabuki bumped into Li Wei's back, and the iron pot on her back also hit her head with a bang.
She raised her head and was about to ask Levi, when she was pulled behind her.
The strong smell of blood covered the whole place, and figures from four directions surrounded Levi. Almost all of them were dragging sacks of different sizes. The smell of blood escaped from the sacks, and the black and red blood dyed the sacks red. , dripping continuously, dragging a long trail of blood on the ground.
"Close your eyes." Levi said softly.
Yamabuki closed her eyes obediently. The smell of blood irritated her nasal cavity, and she coughed violently. Her body began to tremble.
"He is the great swordsman that Master Basou calls him. He doesn't look like much. He also has a little girl with him. Why, is he here to nurse the baby? The little girl's screams must be very beautiful." "The demon slowly put down the bloody sack in his hand, and the corners of his mouth cracked.
It was a man whose whole body was covered with bandages. He was more than three meters tall, but his entire body was extremely thin, like a bamboo pole. His hands almost hung down to his knees, and his fingers were nearly half a meter long.
"Don't be careless. I heard that he killed Hundred Eyes. Wherever Hundred Eyes collected enough eyeballs, they turned into big monsters." Another monster reminded.
"Oh, Baimu, he's just a guy who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Even if it becomes a big demon, all its strength will probably be used to escape."
The Bandage Ghost smiled, its original head twisted, and it slowly pulled away the bandage on its body. Levi noticed that there was a half-foot-long crack in its body inside the bandage, and it was located on the chest and was covered with something similar to food. Mermaids generally expose their crossed fangs.
The bleeding sack fell to the ground, and the heads rolled to the ground. The faces of everyone inside were full of fear and despair. Even though their eyes were wide open and their jaws were almost twisted, it was hard to imagine that those people were closing in before they died. What kind of torture have you experienced?
"Don't think of me as Hundred Eyes, that guy who is afraid of death. Even if I don't become a big demon, I can still crush him to death countless times. I am the strongest resentful ghost among the ghosts!"
