"You're really hardworking, coming down the mountain on a day like this."
"Be careful not to catch a cold."
The grandmother who was sweeping snow in front of the house greeted with concern.
"It's okay in this weather, do you want to buy some charcoal?" The boy with a scar on his forehead exhaled white air from his mouth, "Do you have enough charcoal at home?"
The door on the side of the road was opened, and the middle-aged man inside greeted: "Hey Tanjiro, I want to buy charcoal, thank you for helping me paste the paper door some time ago."
"I want to buy charcoal too." A passerby not far away also called out.
Tanjiro couldn't help but smile.
"Ah~ Tanjiro, you're here at the right time!" The door on the side was opened, and a young man with blood on his mouth and nose appeared at the door, holding something with a cloth in his hand, and a woman behind him was holding his collar with a bad look.
"I'm considered a criminal who broke the plate. Come and help me. Smell it for me!" He broke away from the woman, staggered towards Tanjiro, opened the cloth in his hand, and revealed the broken plate inside.
Tanjiro lowered his head and sniffed, "It smells like a cat."
The woman covered her mouth: "Oh, it was the cat that caused the trouble..."
The young man instantly became confident: "Look! I said it wasn't me!"
"Tanjiro, can you come and help me move the things?" The middle-aged man with several boxes of things piled beside him waved his hand.
Because of Tanjiro's arrival, the whole street seemed to be lively, which was enough to prove how popular this boy was.
In the big house at the end of the road, a pair of wine-red pupils were closely watching here in the attic.
It was today.
They met.
Yuko's fingers holding the small notebook clenched a corner unnaturally.
She had forgotten this scene, but before she forgot it, she recorded it, especially the incident that highlighted Tanjiro's sensitive nose.
After Tanjuro died, Tanjiro, the eldest son of the family, took the initiative to carry half of the sky with his small body, and would go down the mountain to sell charcoal every once in a while.
It was not the first time that Yuko saw him. Because Tanjiro was kind and often helped everyone, the residents of the town trusted and liked this charcoal-selling boy very much.
Tanjiro smiled and helped everyone, and successfully sold the charcoal in the basket.
He walked forward with the basket on his back, and when he passed by the big house, he couldn't help but pause.
But he quickly continued to walk away.
"Forget it, such a big house may not need charcoal at all."
Moreover, he always felt that this house was weird. Every time he passed by, it seemed that something was staring at him through the crack of the door, which made people's backs cold.
Tanjiro couldn't help but speed up a bit.
Creak~
The door, which had not been opened for almost two years, let out a mournful cry after Tanjiro walked away.
A color that did not belong to this season peeked out from behind the door. This was the first time in hundreds of years that Ikuko appeared in the outside world without dressing up. Her wine-red hair was completely different from the surrounding snow-covered colors.
Those strange eyes stared at Tanjiro's back as he walked away.
Snap~
The snow on the eaves fell on Ikuko's head because of the sound of the door opening, and her crown was icy cold.
After a moment of silence, Ikuko lowered her head to pat the snow on her head, put on her hat obediently, wrapped her face with white cloth, gently closed the door, and walked in the direction where Tanjiro came from.
Today, Muzan will come to this mountain.
She has to temporarily move Tanjiro's family.
It was a good time in the early morning of a day. People were coming and going on the street, and they stopped by the road and cast curious eyes towards the middle, as if they had pressed the pause button.
Yuko pulled down her raincoat to avoid showing the Sun Blade on her waist.
After she left, the play button was quietly turned on.
"Hey, that person just now seemed to be..."
"Yes, that young lady!"
"Why did she go out?"
"Looking at this direction, it seems that she is going to the mountains."
"No way, such a heavy snowstorm."
"Didn't Tanjiro also go down the mountain to sell charcoal in the snowstorm?"
"Huh? How can that young lady compare with Tanjiro..."
Yuko didn't hear the whispers afterwards.
She followed the mountain road to the door of Tanjiro's house, where two children, a boy and a girl, were playing in the snow.
Nezuko, who was sitting on the porch, was carrying a toddler with a doll's hair on her back. She couldn't help but laugh as she watched the two running around in the snow.
"Don't play too much, be careful of catching a cold."
As she said this, her eyes inadvertently noticed the figure behind the tree.
"Hanako, Shigeru!" Nezuko stood up and shouted at the two of them, and walked over quickly.
Maybe he thought she was suspicious.
Yuko thought to herself, while she climbed out of the tree.Then she walked out and walked towards the crowd, taking off her hat and the white cloth wrapped around her face.
When Yuko came forward, Nezuko was a little nervous and protected her younger brother and sister behind her, but after Yuko took off her hat and untied the white cloth on her face, she relaxed completely.
Seeing her sister staring at her back in a daze, Kamado Hanako looked back in confusion.
The next moment, her eyes widened slightly.
"What a beautiful sister."
Kamado Shigeru also turned around with the same expression.
Yuko pursed her lips and smiled, "Hello."
Nezuko took her eyes off those strange eyes and nodded slightly, "Hello."
It has to be said that this world is all about looks.
When you have a kind and friendly face, others can't associate you with a bad person.
Nezuko asked, "Excuse me, are you lost in the mountains?"
Yuko shook her head and asked kindly, "Is your mother...at home?"
Nezuko was slightly stunned. She didn't remember having such a good-looking relative in her family.
While she was stunned, the two innocent children had already run into the house, still shouting.
"Mom, there are guests~"
Soon, a mature woman wearing a purple kimono with a pattern of Ichimatsu and a white square-necked long coat appeared at the door.
Aoi Kamado.
The mother of Tanjiro and Nezuko has a pair of purple eyes, a beauty mole at the corner of her mouth, and a white headscarf on her head. She looks very gentle and has a maternal glow.
Aoi Kamado saw Yuko outside the house, wiped her hands on her clothes twice, and walked forward.
"Hello."
While greeting, Aoi Kamado was also looking at Yuko.
It was someone she had never seen before.
The strange red spots on her cheeks did not lose points, but made her look more charming.
Such a good-looking person, with such a pair of strange eyes, if she had seen him before, she would definitely have an impression.
"Hello, madam. It may be a bit rude to say that I am a ghost hunter." Yu Zi nodded slightly, revealing the sun wheel sword wrapped with a white cloth on her waist.
The moment she saw the knife, Yu Zi could feel that the other party's heart tightened.
In this era, not just anyone can wear a sword.
The order to ban swords has been issued for decades.
Yu Zi covered the long sword on her waist and continued: "I got the news that a powerful evil ghost will attack here at night, so I would like to ask madam to take the children to the foot of the mountain for temporary refuge."
A normal person would only think that the other party was talking nonsense when hearing such words.
Not to mention that the other party is not even an official person like the police, but asked you to leave for refuge, the reason for the refuge alone is very puzzling.
Evil ghost?
Isn't that a folk story?
