Chapter 158 Physician

As if he had just had a big dream and felt like he had slept for a long time, Tanjiro slowly opened his eyes. The bright light made it difficult for him to see clearly.

"here it is…"

Tanjiro blinked and his vision was no longer blurred. He saw the surrounding environment clearly, but found that this was not his own wooden house. No matter how he looked at it, it looked like an inn in the town.

With a light sniff, he could clearly smell his father, mother, and younger brothers and sisters, but except for his father, the others were not in the hotel at the moment.

He weakly climbed out of the bed, staggered out of the room, and walked through the corridor in a daze. The moment he walked out of the hotel door, the strong smell of panic and fear reached Tanjiro's nose.

He was instantly awakened from his confusion. Looking at the town washed by the mudslide, he found it hard to believe the scene before him. The memories of last night came to his mind.

Just then, several familiar voices were heard not far away.

"It's brother!"

"Brother is awake!"

In Tanjiro's sight, his younger brothers and sisters ran towards him from a nearby intersection, with smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. They threw themselves into his arms, hugged his trembling body and cried inconsolably.

Tenderly patting the two little heads, Tanjiro looked at Nezuko and her mother who were jogging over with tears in their eyes, and asked them.

"What happened?"

………………

After a while, the group had returned to the inn, and Tanjiro figured out what had happened on the way back and exclaimed in surprise.

"Hey? Was it that gentleman who saved me?"

Taking a small green pill handed to him by Nezuko, Tanjiro looked at it carefully and put it back into the small cloth bag in Nezuko's hand. But at this time, he saw a large amount of Japanese yen in it and said with a serious expression.

"This is?"

Knowing the questions and thoughts in her brother's mind, Nezuko quickly explained.

"This is also what that adult left behind. But don't worry, brother. Mom told us not to use the money in it unless it is absolutely necessary. We all went out just now to find a suitable livelihood. Even now, the hotel manager kindly let us stay temporarily."

Hearing this, Tanjiro breathed a sigh of relief. The gentleman had already saved their family's lives. If he still greedily enjoyed the money left by the other party, Tanjiro would be ashamed.

"If I have the chance, I must repay that gentleman."

After saying this, he seemed to suddenly remember something and spoke to Nezuko excitedly.

"Will this pill help my father's illness?"

But after Tanjiro finished speaking, Nezuko's expression froze. But before she could speak, Yoshiichi, who was standing at the door, spoke.

“…Unfortunately, that’s not possible…”

Just when Tanjiro was feeling a little lost, Yoriichi's voice rang out again.

"But... I know a... um... doctor. Maybe she has some methods."

Although Yoriichirō's expression was intriguing, Tanjiro could still tell that he was not trying to comfort him, and his eyes lit up.

Looking at Tanjiro's bright eyes, Yoshiichirō had a lot of thoughts in his mind. The doctor he was talking about was actually the little kid who was beside Muzan when he first met Muzan hundreds of years ago.

I remember that she had already gotten rid of Muzan's control and no longer did evil. She should have been able to survive until now by hiding. Now that he wanted to cure Tanjuro's illness, Yoriichi could only think of asking her for help.

Thinking of this, Yuanyi bowed slightly to the Zaomen family, then stood up and said goodbye to everyone.

"Then... I will embark on a journey to find my pharmacist friend... I will come back later."

Behind him, Tanjiro opened his mouth when he saw Yoriichirō about to leave, but closed it when he saw his family beside him. At this moment, Aoi saw what her eldest son was thinking and smiled with relief.

He reached out a hand to Tanjiro's shoulder and whispered softly in his son's ear.

"Don't worry and do what you think is right. Mom is here for you."

At this time, his younger brothers and sisters all smiled at Tanjiro and put their hands on their mother's hands on his shoulders.

Glancing sideways at his family members around him, a warm feeling flowed through Tanjiro's heart, and his eyes gradually became firm.

He said sternly to Yuanyi who was about to turn around and leave.

"Please wait, Mr. Yunyi!"

Hearing the voice, Yoshiichi turned around and looked at Tanjiro with a hint of doubt on his face. When Tanjiro saw Yoshiichi turn around, he straightened his back and bowed deeply to him.

"Please allow me to follow you and do my best. At the same time, I also want to become stronger so that I can protect my family and the people who are also harmed by those monsters!"

Although he had a serious expression on his face, Tanjiro was filled with endless fear. If it weren't for Mr. Yunyi and the unknown gentleman, his family might have died quietly in the snowy mountains, and it might take several days for them to be discovered...

And when he thought that there were still such monsters in the world, Tanjiro couldn't help but think about his family and other innocent people. After realizing that his family's inherited Fire God Kagura was actually a powerful sword skill in Yoriichi's hands.

The desire to protect others is completely on fire.

Looking at the other person's serious and familiar face, and then looking at the supportive Kamado family behind him, a trace of emotion flashed across Yunyi's face, and a helpless smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Your junior is really a gentle person to the core, just like you... Tanji.

"Then... let's go."

Tanjiro looked at Yoriichi's back blankly as he walked out after leaving a few words. He was a little slow to react for a moment, but the next second he was gently pushed by his family members with smiles on their faces.

After staggering a few steps forward, Tanjiro turned back to look deeply at his family for the last time, then quickly walked out and caught up with Yoriichi.

Outside the house, following Yoshiichirō towards the outside of the town, Tanjiro had many questions he wanted to ask, but just as he was about to open his mouth, Yoshiichirō suddenly stopped, picked up Tanjiro, and jumped onto a house nearby.

Just as Tanjiro was curious, two young men in black uniforms with mud on their feet walked past them, talking in fear.

"You must be kidding! Is it really just traces of the battle that made the mountain look like that?"

"Maybe it was a natural disaster. Hey, maybe it was really the mountain god that the townspeople said appeared. Many people said they saw a huge red snake!"

"No... this is too much..."

After the two left, Yoriichi jumped off the roof with Tanjiro. Looking at the other's departing backs, Tanjiro asked Yoriichi beside him.

"Why is Mr. Yunyi hiding from them?"

Without further explanation, looking at the familiar uniform, Yunyi turned around and touched the flame-like markings on his forehead. He already knew why the wolf said those words to him.

With mixed feelings in his heart, he continued to walk out of the town, speaking in a low voice.

"It's just a promise with one person..."

Hearing what Yoriichi said, Tanjiro nodded thoughtfully, looked at Yoriichi who was moving forward firmly, and ran a few steps to his side. Being a little nervous as it was his first time to travel far away, Tanjiro asked Yoriichi again with some curiosity.

"Where does Mr. Yunyi's doctor friend live?"

Without looking around, Yoshiichi kept his steps unchanged and answered Tanjiro's question calmly.

"do not know."

"what?"
