【Inuyasha】White Moonlight and Vermillion Mole

A dreamless night.

The next day, when Kagome opened her eyes, he was the only one left by her side. Miroku, Hachi and Inuyasha had all gone out, and the bedding was neatly folded.

After getting dressed, Kagome yawned, rubbed her eyes, opened the door and the sun shone on her face. He quickly covered his face, "Hmm, it's so dazzling."

It was already noon, Kagome twitched her mouth, and she didn't expect that she would sleep so deeply this time.

He looked around for other people, but found that there was no one in the room except the luggage.

Even his shikigami didn't know where he had gone.

"Where did he go?" Kagome was puzzled, "You can't leave me alone, right? But the luggage is all there."

Remembering that she still lived in the village, Kagome tried to ask the villagers, and this inquiry really got the answer.

"Oh, the demon hunters went to Di Nian'er early this morning."

"It was so thrilling last night. I heard that the villagers survived thanks to Di Nian'er."

"Many people were injured, with broken arms and legs and blood all over. The wounds... were scary."

The villager who answered him sighed, "I didn't expect that group of man-eating monsters had been hiding in the village for so long. The three people who died in the village were not eaten by Di Nian'er."

"Many villagers in the village carried hoes to Di Nian'er early this morning, saying that they wanted compensation. What compensation? Monsters are bad anyway..."

The villagers stopped talking abruptly. Remembering that there was also a half-demon beside this adult, they glanced at Kagome several times with a guilty conscience. Seeing that he did not look unhappy, they were slightly relieved, but their tone was still three points weaker.

"Are you going too, sir?"

Kagome shook her head, "No, I won't go. Everyone has already gone. It doesn't matter if I'm missing. I have more important things to do."

He narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Can you please tell me where the remaining villagers are?"

"The remaining people..." The villager touched his forehead and explained without reservation, "Now, they should be busy with farm work in the fields. What do you want to talk to them about?" There was a bad premonition.

The next second, Kagome grinned, "Ah, nothing, just to see if any villagers are injured and need my help."

"Thank you so much, you are still worried about everyone's health after getting rid of the monster. You are really..." So moved, the villagers wanted to wipe their tears. This sir is not like those nobles at all, he will not exploit them at all-

"Haha, you are too polite, it should be, after all... I have paid."

As soon as these words came out, the villagers stopped wiping their tears, "...huh?"

The neck seemed to be stuck with a spring, and he raised his head stiffly, looking at Kagome's smile, his eyes turned black and he almost fainted.

Three bags of money.

Three bags!

No matter how the villagers shouted in their hearts, Kagome couldn't read minds, and faced the other party's ugly smile, "Please lead the way."

"Yes, yes."

Along the way, the villagers were sweating profusely, but they had to force a smile, but it was a pity that the smile was uglier than crying, and Kagome couldn't bear to tease him.

Perhaps because they knew there were no man-eating monsters, the villagers were brave enough to sit in the fields and chat, instead of rushing home after work as usual, for fear that they would be taken away by monsters without paying attention.

When Kagome appeared, they greeted her ecstatically as if they were welcoming a hero back.

"Master Exorcist!"

"Master Exorcist, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, my family would have died in the mouth of a monster yesterday."

"Yes, yes, please accept this little gift."

Some villagers couldn't wait to pick a lot of food from the fields and stuffed it for Kagome.

"No, no, I can't take these away, you can eat them yourself."

Kagome persuaded these people to give up the gift. Looking at these villagers regretfully withdrawing their hands, they really thanked her for giving them the best food around them... Thinking of this, Kagome's original decision was still shaken.

No matter how excessive the villagers' words were, whether they wanted to kill Di Nian'er without knowing the truth... Putting themselves in their shoes, they just wanted to live.

If they were alive, they couldn't be eaten by monsters.

If they didn't want to be eaten, they would fight back, which was reasonable. Humans and monsters were naturally hostile to each other. Kagome couldn't stand at the highest point of this era and say unnecessary words.

This is unfair. What he needs to do is to let the villagers realize that there are good monsters, not to intensify the conflict.

He coughed twice, and under the nervous gaze of the villager who led him, he slowly spoke.

"It's like this. We said before that if you get rid of the man-eating monster, you have to pay the commission fee... that is, three bags of money."

Kagome gestured with three fingers, and under the shock of everyone gasping, she said slowly, "But Di Nian'er helped to eliminate it.He killed more than half of the monsters, and even I was saved by him."

This is the truth. Di Nian'er did block a fatal blow for him.

"I can't take the credit, so as for the money... forget it."

The crowd began to talk, unable to hide their surprise.

"Really? !"

"No need to pay!"

"Great!"

Thanks to Di Nian'er - everyone had this thought in mind.

Kagome watched the villagers crying with joy, the smile on her lips gradually grew, and her eyebrows were infected with a smile. She heard a long shout in her ears, as if someone was calling his name.

The voice was too small, Kagome turned her head uncertainly, and on the other side of the field, Kikyo stood tall and called him softly.

"Ah Li. "

The distance was far enough that I couldn't see Kikyo clearly, and I couldn't hear her clearly, either. I could only "hear" her faintly from her light-colored lips opening and closing.

It was him who called.

Kagome's eyes flickered, her dark brown pupils shone like gold in the sun. He squinted his eyes and smiled, raising his hand to greet her, "Ji--"

He was halfway through his words.

"Master Exorcist, you must accept this basket of fruit no matter what." The villagers who had been following Kagome all the way suddenly stood up and put a bamboo basket on the palm of Kagome's hand that was about to be raised.

The weight immediately pressed Kagome's hand down, and at the same time interrupted him. The weight of the fruit was not light, and he staggered, "...Really, you don't need it, you can take it and eat it yourself."

"No, you must take it! "The villagers bowed deeply and put their hands together to worship. At this time, everyone behind him also put their hands together and worshiped devoutly.

This familiar scene... Being worshipped like a god... Kagome was sweating and ran away with the fruit basket.

This group of ancient people is so scary. It's like he has joined some organization. Why worship him?!

He ran to Kikyo in a few steps, took a breath, and carried a basket on his arm. Looking back, he saw that the villagers were still in that posture. He shuddered and took Kikyo's hand and left.

"Go, go. "

It's so scary.

Kikyo was quietly pulled away by him, replaying what she had just seen in her mind. She was touched by Kagome's smile and couldn't help but call his name.

Strange impulse...

-

After walking for a long distance and making sure that the villagers couldn't see her, Kagome slowed down her hurried legs and pulled Kikyo to sit under a big tree.

Putting down the basket, Kagome rubbed her sore arms and bent over to pick up the fruits, "Pears, hawthorns, apples... When did you get so many of them?"

When they first arrived there, the villagers didn't know he would come, so they should have given him all the best food they had.

After finding two pears and wiping the skin, Kagome turned around and handed them to Kikyo, "Want one?"
