In the evening, Purgatory Anjuro had to go out on patrol. He got up quietly, washed up, changed his clothes and went out.
Kano Qiuichi did not get up, but turned over and continued to sleep.
When the moon rose above the treetops, Kano Qiuichi finally had enough sleep, tidied up the room, put everything in the cabinet, and went next door to find Senjuro.
Senjuro is still packing his things.
It turned out that he was worried that there were too many things to hold, but the scroll that Kano Qiuichi gave him seemed like it would never be full, and he stuffed all his numerous things into it.
"Brother Qiu Yi, how did you sleep? Are you hungry? I'm going to cook." Qian Julang changed into clothes that are suitable for traveling long distances. He wore a traditional jacket on the upper body, a horse hakama underneath, and also on the feet.
They are not clogs or straw sandals, but a pair of black shiny leather shoes imported from the West.
"Very good, where is Anjuro?"
"I went out on patrol, and I should be back in a while." Senjuro said, "I'm going to cook. Wait for me. There are snacks on the table. If you're hungry, you can fill your stomach first."
Senjuro went to the kitchen to cook in a hurry. In fact, Senjuro was just a teenage boy now, and he was already quite proficient in doing housework. Obviously, his family was not so poor as Tanjiro's family that he needed his precocious children to share the housework.
Kano Qiuichi also went over to help.
Everyone in the Purgatory family eats a lot. In addition to breakfast, Purgatory Anjuro also needs to eat when he comes back, as well as rations for the journey. It would be too much for Senjuro to do all these things by himself.
When Purgatory Anjuro returned home early in the morning, Kano Qiuichi and Senjuro were waiting for him.
"Brother! We have cooked some food. Come and eat it quickly, otherwise it will get cold."
The two of them were still making food for the road. It might not be practical to prepare lunch boxes, so they simply made rice balls of various flavors.
It can be said that Kano Qiuichi tried his best to make a lot of fillings with the leftover dishes from the Purgatory family's kitchen and put a bunch of them on the table.
The taste is average, but the variety is better.
Purgatory Anjuro couldn't even lift his head from eating. He destroyed one-third of the rice balls by himself, and he ate a lot in two mouths.
Before going out, Qian Shou Lang went to say goodbye to his father, but Zhen Shou Lang didn't see him behind closed doors. Qian Shou Lang waited outside for a long time, but Zhen Shou Lang refused to come out.
"Let's go, it's not like we won't see you again." Xingjulang put his arm around his younger brother's shoulders, "When you come back and become stronger next time, your father will see you."
Zhen Shoulang, who had been in the room until dawn, turned over.
You brat, just leave as soon as you say so.
The sound outside disappeared. Zhen Shoulang waited for a while before coming out of the room. He opened the door and watched the three people leave in the distance. He stood for a long time before returning home.
There was still food left by Senjuro on the table in the restaurant. He sat down at the table, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
"Did father come out just now?"
"Every father is worried about his children." Kano Qiuichi comforted, "It's just that Mr. Purgatory is not good at expressing."
"My father was not like this before."
Their mother died of illness. Since her mother's death, their father has been in a state of despair. He can no longer even practice swordsmanship. He drinks alcohol every day and turns a deaf ear to the outside world. Even the eldest brother became a flame pillar, which was the result of his own hard work.
Later, my father did not want Infernal Anjuro to go to the battlefield.
They can understand it, but they can't agree with it.
Just like their mother said, the meaning of the strong's existence is to protect the weak. As the strong, they have no meaning of existence if they don't protect the weak.
Purgatory Anjuro has been carrying out his justice for this reason.
Fight to protect others.
And the reason why Zhen Shoulang gave up... is also a bit dumbfounding.
What's the use of becoming a strong man? Wasn't he unable to do anything when his wife died?
What's the use of being strong?
Kano Qiuichi didn't know about the Purgatory family's past and had no intention of exploring it. He could only use other methods to divert Senjuro's attention, pointing to the weeds on the roadside and telling him what the herbs were used for.
Even Anjuro was excited when he heard it.
In his opinion, these weeds were just weeds and had no medicinal value. He memorized a few herbs that could stop bleeding and pain, and then memorized them. Maybe they could be used in the future.
They do have uniformly prepared wound medicines on their bodies, but these medicines have a certain value and will be gone once they are used up. If they can find replacement herbs, there will be an extra layer of protection.
The Purgatory family is a certain distance from the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps, and Purgatory is not an old-fashioned person like Tomioka Giyuu. He wishes he had measured every inch of Japan with the soles of his feet. After arriving in the town, he got on the train.
The speed of the current train is not even slightly worse than the speed of the future Shinkansen, but it is still faster than cars and walking. They waited until they got off at the nearest station and walked around to the headquarters.
When you get off the train, you have to cover your eyes and ears before you can take people to the headquarters.
Just covering your eyes and ears is no longer prudent. If others come to the Demon Slayer Team, they will have to hide and carry them in one at a time to prevent others from accidentally remembering the road.
Purgatory held one hand and led the two people inside.
There was no one there at first, but later on I could faintly hear people saying hello to Purgatory Anjuro.
After his vision is blocked, his hearing and senses will subconsciously improve, and he can feel that many people have been watching him.
The three of them walked for a while, and then Purgatory Xingjulang released his hold on the two people's hands and took off the cloth strip.
Long before several people set out, Purgatory Anjuro had already sent a message to his lord, telling them when they would arrive. By the time Purgatory Anjuro and the three others arrived, Ubuya Shiki Yōya and Mrs. Amane were already there.
Waiting.
The place where the main character of the Demon Slayer Corps, Yoya Sanyashiki, lives is not as luxurious as Kano Akiichi imagined. It is just a very ordinary, average residence.
At most, it is a house that only well-off families would live in.
Even Purgatory Anjuro's house is more luxurious than this one.
Kano Qiuichi tidied his clothes to make sure that he was not embarrassed and unseemly due to the long journey.
"Lord Yanzhu, good day."
The outermost door opened, and the person who opened the door was a little boy with a black head and a purple kimono. He looked about six or seven years old, with red lips and white teeth, like a child.
"Master Huilizai." Yanzhu saluted, "Is your lord here?"
"Father and mother have been waiting inside for a long time." Teriya looked at Kano Qiuichi and Senjuro curiously, then made way for the three of them to go in.
After walking through the corridor, Teriya finally stopped.
The lighting in this room was very good, and the light in the room could be seen from outside the paper door. He knelt down and sat outside the door and asked, "Father, Lord Enzhu, Lord Kano, and Lord Senjuro are already here."
"Come in quickly."
The voice from the door was a little weak, but very gentle.
After getting the answer that the door could be opened, Teriya opened the door and then made way for the three people to enter.
Senjuro was a little nervous and grabbed Purgatory Anjuro's cloak, but Kano Qiuichi still looked calm and calm.
The Uyashiki family's curse has spread to the eyes. One eye has become completely blind, while the other eye can only see a blurry figure. You have to get closer to see his face clearly.
But when they first met, Uyashiki Yōya would definitely not behave in such a rude manner.
"I'm very sorry for not being able to greet you in person." Ubuyashiki Yoya saluted, "Also, I must apologize for my children."
"Shiya and Anjuro approached you because of me and caused you discomfort. I'm very sorry."
After meeting Ubuyashiki Yoshiya, Kano Akiichi suddenly understood why the members of the Demon Slayer Corps were willing to sacrifice their lives for him.
Ubuyashiki Yoshiya is very gentle and loves every team member. It can be seen from the names he calls these people that the two parties are actually very close, and Ubuyashiki Yoshiya also loves them like children.
He would even bow to people just to apologize.
From another perspective, if Kano Qiuichi met such a good lord, he would work for him wholeheartedly.
"You are serious." Kano Qiuichi hid aside, "We should be the same age, there is no need for this."
Ubuyashiki Yoshiya and Kano Akira are the same age, only a few months older. They are both twenty years old, but Ubuyashiki Yoshiya has a maturity and tenacity that does not belong to young people, and the smile at the corner of his mouth is enough to put people in a good mood.
.
But his condition didn't look good. The area above his nose was covered with purple marks, and his two eyes were shrouded in white clouds.
This house is very big, and there is a strong smell of medicine floating in it. Ubuyashiki Yaoya is right in front of him, and the strongest smell of medicine is coming from his body.
"You have saved many children from the Demon Slayer Corps and saved them from illness and death. This is what you deserve."
Purgatory Anjuro was also there to respond.
Many team members had broken limbs and were ruined for the rest of their lives, but Kano Qiuichi's medical skills were like a miracle. He not only reconnected people's limbs, but also had no sequelae.
How can this be repaid with a gift?
"I just can't stand to see other people get hurt."
"You have a kind heart, no wonder everyone likes you very much."
Kano Qiuichi smiled sheepishly.
"Can I take a look at your body? If I'm not wrong, you should be dead soon." Kano Qiu kept speaking, as if he knew that Uyashiki Yōya would not be angry because of his words.
.
"As expected, you can see that, yes, my disease has tortured me since I was a child. Generally speaking, I will not live past the age of thirty."
No wonder.
"Xingjuro, you and Senjuro should go and rest first. I have something to say to Mr. Kano alone."
You can't say this to Purgatory Anjuro and the others.
The reason for my illness...is not a disease, but a curse.
Purgatory Anjuro wanted to say something else, but he retreated under Ubuya Shiki Yōya's smile, "Then let's retreat first!"
"have a good rest."
When there was no one around and even Yin was sent away, Ubuya Shiki Yaoya sat upright and said, "Dr. Kano, you must have seen the problem with my body, but I am not sick, but a curse.
"
"curse?"
"Yes." Ubuyashiki Yoshiya nodded, "Kibutsuji Muzan was once a member of the Ubuyashiki family."
