Following the faint smoke, Luo Jie and his party discovered an old wooden house by the stream next to the waterfall.

"Master, please wait a moment, I will go in to investigate first."

"Yorimitsu Minamoto" first asked aloud, and then opened the door when no one answered.

The room is very simple, except for a loom and an iron pot. It can be described as a house with only four walls.

But the floor and furnishings were very clean, and there wasn't even a trace of soot accumulated from burning firewood. It was obvious that someone had been living there and cleaning it regularly.

"Mrs. Seam" has never walked into a civilian's house and is full of curiosity about everything in front of her.

"The cabinet is full of women's clothes. Judging from the size, the person living here should be a young girl... Living alone in the forest where such beasts are infested, wouldn't she feel scared?"

"In this era of endless war, many civilians will choose to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests to avoid the defeated rebels, especially young girls... No matter how terrifying the beast is, it will only eat people when it is hungry." "Minamoto Yorimitsu" As he said that, he checked the iron pot and rice vat in the room and shook his head in disappointment: "There is no rice anymore, otherwise we can make some rice porridge to satisfy the child's hunger."

"Is it okay to use deer milk? I just saw that there seemed to be wild deer in the forest." "Mrs. Seam" suggested tentatively.

"If this method worked, I would have done it long ago."

Luo Jie was thinking about the feeding problem of "Hyakki Pill" along the way, and naturally he also saw a few wild deer running through the forest.

"To ensure that their young have enough food, the breeding period of most herbivores is in spring and summer. Now that the weather has entered autumn, the young deer have already been weaned, so even if we catch the doe, it will be useless."

"Mrs. Seam" looked depressed, holding the baby tightly like a puppet and sobbing silently.

"Minamoto Yorimitsu" also felt pity. He found a stoneware bowl and poured half a bowl of water for "Mrs. Tailor-made". He handed it over and comforted: "Don't be discouraged. This girl makes a living by weaving, which means there must be villages nearby." "As long as she comes back and asks for the location of the village, we can find food for the child."

"Mrs. Tailor" nodded gratefully to "Yorimitsu Minamoto", feeling a lot more at ease in her heart.

The three of them waited in the wooden house for more than half an hour, and the sound of human footsteps could be heard faintly in the woods outside.

After a while, a girl with long blue hair walked out of the bushes carrying a pheasant and several squirrels.

The girl was very young, and her patched coarse clothes could not hide her pretty appearance. Her tall figure without any trace of fat made her look completely mature and unlike a newly-grown cardamom girl.

Seeing the horses tied to the tree at the door, the girl couldn't help but be startled, stopped and asked tentatively: "Are there guests?"

Luo Jie and the others appeared from the wooden house. "Mrs. Tailor" nodded and saluted, "We are travelers passing by. We happened to be passing by this place. We saw fireworks, so we came here to have a rest. If we disturb you, I hope you'll forgive me."

Seeing that there were two female relatives accompanying her, the girl breathed a sigh of relief and said a little awkwardly: "Ah, madam, you don't have to be so polite. You look like you are a noble person from the look of your dress. As long as you don't mind that my place is dirty and shabby."

The four of them walked around the wooden house, and the girl casually hung the pheasant and squirrel on the nails in the wall.

"Did the girl go hunting before?" Luo Jie asked.

"Guests don't have to be so polite, just call me "Aha". "

The girl smiled sweetly, rolled up her sleeves to reveal a pair of white arms, added a few dry firewood to the fire pit, and boiled a pot of water in an iron pot.

"Actually, it doesn't count as hunting. I just set up a few small traps in the woods. I don't dare to catch any larger beasts. I can only catch some small animals such as pheasants and rabbits."

After the polite greetings, "Mrs. Tailor" couldn't wait to ask: "Miss Aha, is there a village near here? My child needs milk, but I don't have milk to feed him."

"Ah? There is a village at the foot of the mountain, and there are several women in the village who have just given birth..." "Aha" looked at the dimming sky outside the window in embarrassment, "It's just... you are sure that you want this time Going down the mountain? The night in this mountain is very dangerous."

When she heard that there was a village, the "Mrs. Tailor" who loved her son couldn't sit still anymore. She fell to the ground and begged: "Miss Aha, my child has been hungry all day and night. Please show your kindness and take us to the village at the foot of the mountain." Bar."

"Aha" seemed to want to refuse, but in the end she couldn't resist "Mrs. Seam"'s pleading, so she could only smile bitterly and said: "I'm really scared of you... Okay, leave the horse here, and you can follow me." ”

"Can't ride a horse? Wouldn't that be slower?" Luo Jie asked strangely.

"Ahagi" took off a white paper lantern from the wall, walked to the door and put on his straw sandals, turned around and said: "If you take the main road, it will be difficult to get to the village before dark, so you can only take the shortcut—— I know there is a cave, and walking through it can save at least half the time, but there are rumors that there are monsters inside, so I usually won’t take that route unless there is an emergency.”

Hearing that there were monsters, "Mrs. Seam" subconsciously looked at Luo Jie and "Minamoto Yorimitsu" with expressions full of hesitation and struggle.

"Don't worry, if a monster appears, I'll just kill it." "Yorimitsu Minamoto" clenched his fists with a look of disapproval.

"Oh? Is this sister an exorcist? It's really rare to see such a small and remote place..." "Ahagi" looked at "Minamoto Yorimitsu" again in surprise, and his tone seemed a little envious, "Okay, It’s getting late, let’s go quickly.”

Without the horse, "Mrs. Seam", who had been pampered since she was a child, soon lost her battle on the difficult mountain road and turned pale and almost collapsed.

Luo Jie frowned: "Lai Guang, please carry Mrs. Xiu on your back, otherwise we may not be able to get down the mountain before dark."

"Mrs. Seam" was so ashamed that UU Reading www.uukanshu.net apologized repeatedly: "I'm really sorry. I am so weak and have caused trouble to Lord Ye and Miss Yuan."

"Yorimitsu Minamoto" is a five-star heroic spirit of the highest quality, and is also a member of the Berserker class known for its strength and stamina. The weight of "Mrs. Seam" is not much of a burden to her, and she can still walk as fast as she can with it on her back.

The next few people's footsteps obviously accelerated, and finally arrived at the cave "Ahagi" mentioned before dusk.

"It really has a demonic aura, and it's the kind of aura that I hate the most."

"Minamoto Yorimitsu" looked solemn, and held up "Mrs. Tailor" behind his back with one hand. The flashing lightning in his other hand turned into a red katana with a sword wrapped around a rope.

"Oh? What do you hate, Raiguang?"

"Spiders, those big bugs with many legs, also spit out white sticky silk. It feels so disgusting when it sticks to you."

"Aha", who was walking in front, squatted down, took out the fire stick and lit half of the candles in the lantern, turned around and said calmly: "Then I'm afraid this young lady should pay more attention. There are a lot of spiders in this cave."
