Chapter 149 Salmon and Radish
No way...how could it be such a coincidence...but that is...that is!
Ignoring the strange looks from the townspeople in front of him, Wuzan lowered his head, took several deep breaths, and convinced himself countless times in his mind that it was impossible for such a coincidence to happen. He raised his head.
Finally, he managed to stick his head out from over the shoulder of a passerby who looked embarrassed, and looked in the direction where he had just glanced at the object. Sure enough, the familiar sun wheel earrings caught his eyes directly, and a burning sensation appeared out of nowhere, as if it was going to burn his eyes.
But she endured the burning sensation and looked closely at the owner of the sun wheel earrings, only to find that the other party was just a dirty little kid who bought charcoal. The pressure in her heart was immediately reduced a bit.
He stood up and casually injected the ghost blood into the bodies of the people in front of him. Although they would not react for the time being, when night fell, his blood would turn them into the most gorgeous fireworks.
But looking at the earrings on the ears of the charcoal-selling boy, Muzan clenched his teeth, knowing that they could not be fake products.
...I can't be mistaken...that's Yuichi Tsugakuni's earring, how could it be on that little kid's ear!
An invisible sense of oppression weighed heavily on Wuzan's body.
After a moment's silence, Muzan turned around and left, forgetting about the incident with Yuichiro's earrings, and planned to arrange a few ghosts to investigate this kid when the time comes.
As for now... let's go back to the hotel and relax...
………………
But shortly after he left the market, a bright red figure rushed in from the market entrance. After seeing that familiar face, his expression gradually softened.
Tanji...your offspring looks a lot like you...
But then the tip of his nose twitched slightly and his brows frowned.
It was the smell of evil spirit blood, but it was far away from here. He looked at the townspeople who had been injected with evil spirit blood before and now had a dazed look in their eyes.
A sigh in my heart...
Poor man... Not being turned into a ghost to hurt others... Maybe this is already a good ending.
After mourning for a moment, she walked towards Tanjiro and saw the basket full of charcoal and guests surrounding it.
…It’s still the same charcoal business as before, and it’s still surrounded by customers as before.
Thinking this in his mind, Yunyi stopped temporarily.
Silently waiting for Tanjiro to hand each piece of charcoal carefully to the buyer, and only after greeting him with a smile would he accept the money from the buyer.
After the last piece of charcoal was sold, Tanjiro touched the purse in his arms, and joy welled up in his heart. If this happened a few more times, he would be able to collect enough money for his father's medicine and his family's winter clothes.
With a beautiful vision for the future, Tanjiro carried a bamboo basket and wanted to return home quickly before the sun set, but at this moment, a figure blocked his way.
His nose twitched slightly, and he could clearly smell the scent of joy emanating from the other person. However, looking at the red-haired person in front of him, he did not know her, so why would the other person feel happy to see him?
Just when he was about to ask the other party, Tanjiro was slightly stunned when he saw the particularly familiar earrings on the other party's ears.
…exactly the same earrings my father gave me this morning…
"Excuse me...are you my father's friend?"
When asked by Tanjiro, Yoshiichirō didn't know how to respond for a moment. He just saw the familiar face of his old friend and subconsciously followed him. Now he didn't know what he wanted to do standing in front of Tanjiro.
He could only nod in agreement with Tanjiro's meaning, and Tanjiro could clearly smell the scent of a lie but not a complete lie coming from the other person.
He suddenly felt strange, but the other party's kindness towards him made Tanjiro believe that the other party was definitely not a bad person. Thinking of this, Tanjiro looked at the other party and asked politely.
"My name is Tanjiro Kamado, may I ask your name?"
Looking at this face that was exactly the same as his friend from hundreds of years ago, Yunyi's eyes gradually became bright.
"Tanjiro..."
"My name is...Tsugikoku Yoriichi."
………………
At this moment in the restaurant, Wolf walked towards the familiar figure, gently patted the man's shoulder, and whispered in his ear.
"Why are you here..."
Because the wolf did not hide deliberately, the person being photographed noticed the wolf's arrival very early and spoke to the wolf without turning his head.
"Long time no see, Hirata."
The wolf was sitting next to the man and was about to speak, but when he saw the man eating the food in front of him with an exaggerated smile on his face, the wolf's expression suddenly became strange.
So... the weird feeling that Fuzugawa always told me about when I smiled... is this the feeling? It's really weird...
"What are you...eating?"
"Salmon radish."
...never heard of it...is it really that delicious?
Driving the strange thoughts out of his mind, the wolf looked seriously at the water column in front of him who was enjoying the delicious food - Tomioka Giyu.
I remembered the information sent back by Owl a few days ago, which said that the Pillar Meeting was about to be held. But when the meeting was about to start, why was Giyu, the Water Pillar, still here?
And Yiyong quickly answered the wolf's initial question, looking at the wolf next to him and speaking in a calm voice.
"The lord has called a meeting of the pillars, but the distance is too far for me to get there, so I asked Yin to drive me there. I'm waiting for the car now..."
Having said this, he seemed to feel a sense of pride. He put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, looked at the table expressionlessly and said.
"As expected... Only someone like me... can summon Hiden..."
But the wolf could clearly feel the other's sadness, and could tell that the other's intention was exactly the opposite of what he said:
Only a loser like me needs help to get on the road...
After translating the other person's words in his mind, Wolf looked at Giyu with a strange expression.
...Why is this guy so worried every day...
However, the wolf did not ask much. He just waited until the other party finished eating, and then walked out of the restaurant together. A car hidden in the distance slowly drove over, and the wolf asked the other party at this time.
"…Is there a large mountain near this town where mountain dwellers live?"
Hearing this, Yiyong looked in the direction ahead where the wolf said, held his chin and thought for a moment, and finally looked at the wolf with a hint of doubt on his face, but seeing the other party's serious look, Yiyong still spoke.
"I know clearly that there is only one mountain with people living on it. I just need to keep walking along the path out of the town..."
"Thank you."
After thanking him, the wolf turned and rushed in the direction Yiyong said, looking for the evil ghost that might be Guiyue. Yiyong looked at the other party's back with a bit of dejection, muttering to himself.
"I wanted to...invite him to eat salmon and radish together..."
