As the sky approached evening, the wind and snow outside suddenly became heavier, and the dark sky made the visibility basically zero.

而这时候,炭治郎还没有回来.

On the other side, Tanjiro sold out the charcoal and was jogging towards his home in the mountains, but the wind and snow gradually became heavier, so he had to speed up.

"It's Tanjiro. Stop it. It's going to be dark and the wind and snow are heavy. Come to my place to rest for a night. When the wind and snow are weak, you can set off tomorrow."

Tanjiro turned his head and saw that it was an old man he knew. Tanjiro had sent his charcoal to his house many times, so he was more familiar with it.

"Old sir, my family is still waiting for me and I dare not stay here."

The old man smiled kindly: "Don't think so. Your own safety is the most important thing. In this kind of weather and weather, if there is any danger, Tanjiro's family will only be even more sad."

"Also, it's getting dark, but there are people-eating ghosts appearing at night. I'd better stay with me and wait until tomorrow."

Tanjiro was a little hesitant because the old man was right, it was more dangerous for him to rush on the road now.

After a little thought, Tanjiro decided to stay and rest and go home tomorrow. This has happened in the past, and his mother and the others should understand it.

"Old sir, I'll bother you, but does the ghost you mentioned really exist? I've never seen it."

老人顿了顿,脸上浮起回忆之色.

The sound was filled with depression and pain, and at the same time, Tanjiro smelled the scent of sadness from the old man.

"It is best not to meet a man-eating ghost in your life. Tanjiro just listen to it as a story."

Tanjiro nodded, just thinking, "What a strong sadness, is there really a creature like ghost?"

……………………

The cabin trembled slightly in the wind and snow, making a slight creaking sound.

现在外面的天色已经完全黑了下来.

A little candlelight was lit up in the middle of the wooden house, Lin Chi and Aoi were sitting cross-legged with each other, while Nezuko and the others were sleeping.

Aoi was a little worried about Tanjiro, but was afraid of waking Nezuko and the others.

So he whispered softly: "When Kawari, there will be no accident in Tanjiro, he has already returned at this time."

At the same time, the feeling of omission in Lin Chi's heart became even stronger. Could something happened to Tanjiro?

He smiled reluctantly and comforted: "Don't worry, the wind and snow are a bit heavy today. Tanjiro might have rested somewhere. I have had such an experience before. It's okay, it must be okay."

This sentence is not only to comfort Aozhi, but also to comfort himself. At this moment, Lin Chi's concern for Tanjiro may be stronger than Aozhi.

Aoi didn't say anything, but from her frowning eyebrows, it could be seen that her worries did not fade away at all, but became even stronger.

The same is true for Lin Chi, and there seemed to be a hand squeezing his heart, and he was so dull that he wanted to get nauseous and vomit.

He thought for a while and said to Aoi, "Mother, why don't I go down the mountain to take a look. Although the wind and snow are heavy now, I can still walk around."

Aoi shook her head. She didn't want Lin Chi to be in a dangerous place. Tanjiro was likely to be unable to come back because of the wind and snow. However, the danger was actually relatively small. She was just out of her mother's concern for her children.

而林炽现在出去的话,才是真的危险.

"As a brother Kawaruto, I'm really happy to be able to care about Tanjiro and the others so much."

"But Tanjiro is not young anymore, he is also very smart and should be able to deal with this situation. You should not put yourself in danger when you flow."

Lin Chi smiled faintly: "It is worth caring, because you are my relatives."

"But I'd better go and look for Tanjiro, otherwise I'll always be uneasy."

Aoi thought about it and found that she was still very at ease with her eldest son. She has been obedient and sensible since she was a child, and she has never let her down and worry about it.

"If you think it's OK when you flow, go."

Lin Chi stood up and prepared to set out to find Tanjiro.

However, at this moment, a creepy feeling suddenly came from behind him.

This feeling is like a herbivorous beast encountering a brutal predator, terrifying and depressing.

"Who is it!"

Lin Chi turned around and turned around, but saw no one.

This feeling was like a shadow that had not faded away, and it was still behind him.

Wait, behind it? Aoi Branch!

"Ah!! Run quickly when the river flows, don't look back."

A cry of pain sounded from behind. This was the sound of his mother Aoi. Although it was a little distorted by the pain, he could still hear it.

Lin Chi lowered his head, his soles were sticky, and blood soaked his socks.

He turned around and turned back in disbelief, seeing a horrible scene that he would never forget in his life.

Mother Aoi, Nezuko, Hanako, Takeo, Shiro, and Liuta.

In just a few breaths, they all lay in a pool of blood.

Nezuko and the others still had a smile on their faces that were assured when they were sleeping.

Mother Aoi struggled to stop the black shadow behind her, but unfortunately her thin body could not stop the black shadow's strength, and she was easily lifted up by holding her neck.

In Lin Chi's eyes, a terrifying creature who was one head taller than him was standing in front of him.

The creature's face was vaguely seen as a young human, with messy black hair, but his veins bulged and his bloody eyes were full of violent emotions.

In his mouth, there were no ordinary people's flat fangs, but terrible fangs as sharp as files.

This is a ghost, who feeds on people and causes trouble to the world.

I can't believe that the stories I heard when I was a child were real, and ghosts really existed.

Lin Chi's heart seemed to explode at this moment.

This scene finally reminded him of that nightmare.

It turned out that this unknown premonition was for me and my family in the house and had nothing to do with Tanjiro.

"Bastard, let her go!"

The blood flowed rapidly and Lin Chi's eyes were bloody.

Faced with this terrible ghost that he had never seen before, he did not think of running away, but picked up the axe for chopping wood beside him and chopped down directly at the ghost's arm holding Aoi Branch.

This axe is extremely sharp, Lin Chi can guarantee that it is the most powerful axe he has cut since he played with the axe.

Lin Chi, who has been chopping wood since childhood, is quite confident in the power of his axe. In the past, he encountered wild wolves and boars in the mountains, and he relied on this axe to force him back.

Although the axe blade is worn out, it still shines with a cold light.

But the black-haired ghost has no intention of hiding.

He shook his head and sighed, "It's too weak. Is this the strength and speed of a child playing house? So, ghosts are a better life form."

He stepped on the ground suddenly, stomping the wooden floor and cracked it.

Lin Chi's eyes burst into tears. When he realized that he had already knocked down the axe in his hand, and the black-haired ghost grabbed the cheek, lifting him up.

Lin Chi could see from the corner of his eyes that his mother's sunflower was like a doll, thrown aside by a ghost, and her neck had been twisted into an unnatural angle, and she had no sound.

"Mother……"

Lin Chi opened his mouth with difficulty, and the five fingers of the black-haired ghost grabbed his cheeks. He used a little force, and the nails as sharp as the tip of a knife penetrated deep into the skin, directly scratching Lin Chi's face bones.

The broken bones also hurt the brain. At this time, Lin Chi lost all his strength and his consciousness began to dissipate.........
