The old man walked out of the ancestral hall. He was wearing wooden clogs and a simple hemp bathrobe.
He didn¡¯t take his raincoat or bamboo hat, and stepped into the rain.
The light rain was drizzling, but it fell on him as if it had touched the nano-layer on the lotus leaf, sliding smoothly away without a single drop soaking into his clothes.
He walked very slowly, and it looked like he was taking a walk, but in fact he was moving very fast. Ahu, who was almost behind, had to trot to catch up with him.
Seeing an old man and a young man appear in the field of vision, Toru Amuro put a smile on his face and hurriedly greeted them.
"Hello, we would like to"
¡°We don¡¯t welcome outsiders here.¡±
Before Toru Amuro finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by an indifferent voice.
The old man¡¯s tone was indifferent, and he didn¡¯t want to hear what Toru Amuro had to say about this.
Seeing the indifference on the old man's face, Toru Amuro's expression became awkward, and she was a little at a loss for a moment. But for the sake of the two teenagers, he still tried his best to beg: "It rained heavily in the morning, and the two children got wet We only need an empty room, just to rest for one night, and we will not stay for free." "
The old man¡¯s gaze stayed on his face. After looking at it for a while, he looked at the two teenagers walking over.
The two teenagers did look a little embarrassed. Their white and transparent raincoats were full of water mist. They were carrying bags and holding umbrellas. One of the teenagers looked like he had fallen down and there were some mud stains on his raincoat.
It is easy for people to lower their guard when a man brings two teenagers together, but there is no preferential treatment for the old man.
His tone was indifferent, still without any emotion, "No, we don't need outside coins here."
Toru Amuro looked at Ahu behind him for help, but Ahu avoided his gaze and did not dare to look directly at Toru Amuro.
It is the rule of the village to keep no outsiders. He can tell the big witch that he has tried his best and has no way to influence the big witch's decision.
Amuro Toru sighed, with a frustrated tone, "Sorry, we are asking too much"
Kamikawa Shun felt that the situation had reached a deadlock, and if it continued like this, it would be impossible for the old man to let go.
He spoke rather impatiently, assuming the posture of a playboy disciple, "Master, just tell me how you can give us a night's rest."
The old man's sinister eyes looked over, and his gaze fell on Shun Kamikawa's particularly impatient face. He looked at it for a while, and suddenly smiled. The smile had a strange feel to it, which made Shun Kamikawa feel as if he was being stared at by something, and a chill ran down his back.
"Oh? Can you meet all conditions?"
After finishing speaking, he didn¡¯t wait for Kamikawa Shun and others to reply. He turned around and ordered Ahu behind him, ¡°Ahu, prepare a room for them.¡±
Hearing this, Ahu's face turned pale, and he winked at Amuro desperately. However, the great witch was watching from the side, and he could only make some expressions that no one could understand, and could not say anything.
"Ahu!"
Seeing his delay in responding, the great witch gave a sharp shout.
Ahu felt as if he had been electrocuted. He stood up straight and responded hurriedly.
"OK."
The great witch turned around and glanced at the three of them again. His eyes glanced at the pistols hidden under their clothes. Then he walked back to where he came from and disappeared from the sight of several people in a few steps.
With the great witch gone, Ahu relaxed and looked at Toru Amuro and the others with helpless eyes. But since the great wizard had spoken, he naturally couldn't let them go.
Furthermore, it is not a bad thing to offer it as a sacrifice to the Lake God.
"Your name is Ahu, right? Who is that old man?" Shun Kamikawa seemed to have turned into a playboy, with a careless demeanor, and showed no respect for the old man when asked.
"That's the big witch in our village." Ahu didn't mind Kamikawa Shun's offense, or it could be said that the long-term closed environment made him have no idea about offenses.
"Great witch? What a strange name"
Kamikawa Shun felt strange when he heard this name from Toru Amuro. This name was like the kind of name used by ancient tribal groups to call priests for sacrifices, with an oriental fantasy color.
"The great witch is the great witch, that's what we always call him." Ahu didn't explain much, or he didn't understand why he called the great witch the great witch.
¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you to the house to rest.¡± After saying that, he took the lead and walked forward, regardless of whether the people behind him followed.
The great witch¡¯s orders could not be disobeyed. Although he did not want these people to stay in the village, he could only naively hope that these people would not follow him.Come up, there is no other way.
Naturally, Amuro Toru and the others would not fail to follow them. They finally managed to stay in this village to explore, so how could they give up this opportunity?
"Hey, Ahu, is your full name Ahu?" Kamikawa Shun walked quickly to Ahu and talked to him.
Ahu didn¡¯t really want to talk to him, but he just couldn¡¯t resist Kamikawa Shun¡¯s enthusiasm.
Seeing that he didn¡¯t answer, Shun Kamikawa kept talking in his ear like an annoying fly.
A-Hu was so noisy by him that he couldn't help it, so he said: "My name is A-Hu, and everyone in the village calls me that."
Kamikawa Shun climbed up the pole, "Then what's the reason for your name? Does it mean you look like a tiger?"
Kamikawa Shun¡¯s eyes were full of curiosity, and the boy¡¯s curiosity was completely undisguised.
A-Hu originally made up his mind to ignore him after answering the previous question, but there is a saying that when one starts, there are two. Once you start, it is difficult to stop.
His curiosity was so strong that Shun Kamikawa opened his raincoat and showed it to Shun Kamikawa in a rather ostentatious manner:
"The divine mark given by the gods is a tiger, so I am called Ahu."
"Divine pattern?" Shun Kamikawa looked at it carefully, his eyes shining.
¡°He¡¯s so handsome, can I get a tattoo?¡±
In the back, Toru Amuro and Osamu Hoshino looked at Shun Kamikawa's dramatic performance, and seemed to be getting better and better with each performance.
Amuro Toru coughed, put on the posture that a normal elder should have, and scolded, "You can't get a tattoo, don't even think about it."
"Cut~"
Kamikawa Shun turned around and glared at him, ignoring him.
While following Ahu, he looked around, and then asked doubtfully: "Is there anyone else in your village? Why haven't you seen them? And where is your great witch? Where have they gone?"
"The great witch and the people in the village are all at the ancestral hall and will not come out until noon."
"Ancestral hall? What are you doing in the ancestral hall?"
Kamikawa Shun originally thought that the people in this village would gather in some kind of temple, but it turned out to be in the ancestral hall, which was really surprising.
"Pray and practice." Ahu said concisely and to the point.
"Practice? What to practice?"
"It's the divine pattern."
"How to practice?"
¡°Sit and pray.¡±
Kamikawa Shun: ""
Kamikawa Shun was stuck for a rare moment. Is there any difference between this prayer and spiritual practice? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
