Chapter 95 I Can Still Afford the Antidote
Seeing that the wolf didn't look like it was going to attack again, the three people sitting on the ground breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the weakness in each other's eyes, and then supported each other to stand up.
Tianyin brushed the dust off her clothes and looked at the wolf who was talking to Busei not far away, her pretty and dignified face full of surprise and doubt.
Is this the swordsman who killed the upper-rank demon? Even more powerful than the pillars!
Although his personality is also strange...
On the other side, Busikawa, who had punched the wolf in the chest, looked at the opponent's left arm in shock, and approached the dazed wolf and spoke seriously.
"Hey... are you okay? Don't suddenly become... like that. I only have a woman and two children here..."
He was just a little absent-minded. When Busei was speaking, Wolf came to his senses and said in a low voice.
"…It's okay… I just want Minako to get better soon."
Hearing the wolf's response, Busei nodded slightly, but the heavy worry on his face did not diminish.
After spending these days together, he could naturally understand Wolf's feelings for Minako. The two of them had no blood relationship, but they were closer than family.
But...it is precisely because of this that Wolf is more likely to lose his mind for some reason. Thinking of this, Busei quickly turned his head to look at Tianyin.
"Master Tianyin... prepare to depart."
The wolf also looked over at this time.
Looking at Wolf's calm expression, Tianyin, who had just stood up, shuddered subconsciously, glanced at the Tokito brothers, saw the shock in their eyes, then forced himself to calm down and spoke softly.
"…OK."
He walked towards the wolf step by step, and while he was separated from the Wolf by the Busei River, he took out a blueprint from his wide sleeves and showed it to the Wolf, while he stretched out his slender fingers to gesture on it.
"The ancestral home of the priest family is also deep in the mountains, so it will take a lot of time for the hidden troops to go there and back. It may take several days, but if we take the mountain road, it will only take a little over a day."
Having said that, he looked at the wolf who was looking at the map carefully, thought for a moment, then bowed and spoke.
"…I thought Miss Minako wasn't seriously ill…that's why I made that request…I was too presumptuous."
The wolf who was looking at the map glanced sideways, and seeing the other party's sincere look, he didn't say much, but just gave a light reminder.
"It's okay... It's inconvenient to travel in the mountains at night, let's set off as soon as possible..."
After saying that, he looked at Busui Kawai who was standing beside him in silence. Busui Kawai was squinting at the map when he noticed the wolf's gaze out of the corner of his eye. He turned around and looked at him with a puzzled look.
"…What's wrong?"
“…You go ahead.”
Facing the wolf's words that sounded as if it was a matter of course, Busei asked loudly with a dark face.
"Why!?"
Wolf still looked at Busei with the same expression, but he pointed his finger at Amane who was equally confused at the moment.
"…I get lost easily…and I can't let a woman lead the way…"
...After all, this will be very slow.
Hearing Lang Feng's calm words, the corners of Busikawa's mouth twitched slightly, veins on his neck bulged, and he complained loudly in his heart.
Tomioka guessed it right...
And you were the one who just pulled out the knife against the woman?! Why are you saying this again now?!
In the end, he could only sigh. He couldn't let the Demon Slayer Corps' mistress lead the way and move forward.
Seeing Busei Gawa set off, Wolf was about to greet Amane, but he noticed that the other person's eyes were on the Tokito brothers who were gasping for breath and had not yet recovered.
She glanced at the carriage parked nearby, which was filled with daily necessities that Amane had brought for the two brothers, and then looked at the two brothers again, who looked to be the same age as Minako.
"..."
After a moment's silence, Wolf stepped forward, whispering to Amane as he passed.
"...let's go."
Tianyin nodded slowly and followed the wolf. When he came in front of the Tokito brothers, he was about to say something when he was interrupted by the wolf next to him.
"You two should come too..."
After saying that, he walked forward on his own. Tianyin behind him was slightly stunned, then smiled and stretched out his hand to the two of them, signaling them to hurry up and follow.
On the grass, the Tokito brothers looked at each other in bewilderment. Muichiro even couldn't believe that his brother agreed to let him join the Demon Slayer Corps, and join with him!
Although I agreed to it under those circumstances...
Yuichiro ignored the excitement in his brother's eyes and reluctantly looked at the wooden house where he had lived for a long time.
The wooden house carries the beautiful memories of their family of four, but after an attack by an evil spirit, Youichiro no longer dares to live here with his younger brother.
Then he pulled Wuyilang and rushed towards the three people who had already kept a short distance from them. However, when he saw the cart full of food and necessities halfway, he hesitated.
In the end, he couldn't bear to leave it here, so he took the reins on the horse pulling the cart, and followed closely at the end of the team with Wuichiro.
At the front of the team, Busei Gawa glanced at Ichiro and the other man who were following behind him, and glanced at the wolf beside him indifferently.
Not much was said afterwards, but Wolf suddenly felt that Busei seemed to be in a good mood, so the group headed in the direction on the map.
------
As time passed, with the map that Tianyin took out, the group successfully climbed over the first hill and watched the sun completely set in the sky. He took back his last rays of light and was shocked by the beautiful scenery. At this moment, Tianyin spoke.
"Mr. Hirata, it's easy to get lost when it's dark, so it's better for us to stop and rest for a while."
Hearing Tianyin's voice, the wolf looked around in the dimness, responded softly, then closed his eyes and moved his ears slightly, listening carefully to the various sounds coming from the mountains.
But the wolf can find the sound it wants to hear among many sounds and determine the direction of the sound.
Wow~
This is it…
Opening his eyes, the wolf turned his head to look into the sparse woods and spoke softly.
"Follow up..."
After saying that, Wolf took the lead and walked towards the place his eyes were looking at. Busei curled his lips, and although he didn't know where Wolf was going to take them, he still followed. Tianyin also followed with the Tokito brothers.
Wow~
As they moved forward, the sound gradually became louder and everyone could hear clearly what the sound was.
A clear stream appeared in front of everyone. Youchiro, who was still young and had just been pulling a cart all day, immediately threw himself down by the stream, lowered his head and drank tonnes of the stream water.
But before he could drink enough, a big hand lifted him up, and the voice of Busei Karupaki scolded him in his ears.
"Idiot! Boil it before drinking!"
Fuzugawa's worries are not unfounded. The water in the mountains usually contains a lot of impurities, not to mention parasites.
But the wolf next to him said after thinking for a moment.
"But...if you're really thirsty...it's okay to just drink it."
Hearing the wolf's words, Yuichiro, who was brought up, took the opportunity when Busei River asked the wolf questions, struggled out of his hand, and continued to drink in big gulps.
"Ah... this little devil..."
Ichiro broke free and watched him drink the stream water again. Fushigawa muttered something.
Behind him, Muichiro swallowed, took the kettle and ran to the stream and drank like Xiang Youichiro. After relieving his thirst, he did not forget to fill the kettle and ran back to hand it to Tianyin, whose lips were also slightly chapped.
Subconsciously taking the kettle, Tianyin reacted and gently touched Wuichiro's little face, then drank it in small sips.
Only Busei frowned at this moment and asked the wolf who had a normal expression on the side.
"Is it really okay to drink it? It's easy to get infected by parasites if you drink this kind of water."
The wolf hesitated for a moment, then nodded firmly.
"no problem."
After all, he could still afford the antidote.
