On the mountain, inside the Kamado family’s house

“Mom, my brother is not back yet!”

The protagonist Kamado Tanjiro’s younger brother, Kamado Shigeru, stood on the window, looking out at the vast white field, and shouted loudly.

In the room, the youngest child of the Kamado family, Kamado Rokuta, had fallen asleep, and his mother Kamado Kui Zhi hugged him on the bed, and just after he was settled, he heard Mao’s voice

“Mao, my brother is already asleep, please be quieter.”

Kamado Aoi came to the window and reminded her loudly. Then she also looked outside, but she also didn’t find Kamado Tanjiro.

“Got it, but my brother hasn’t come back yet, will something happen?”Kamado Shigeru was a little worried.

Kamado Aoi was still looking out the window. She was also worried, but she didn’t show her emotions in front of her children.

“I must have been delayed by something and could only spend the night in the village, so I won’t be back until tomorrow. Mao, go to bed first!”The night was already deep, Zaomen Kuizhi sighed softly and closed the window.

“knew.”The young Kamado Shigeru didn’t think much. He was already very sleepy and immediately ran to bed.

“well! I hope Tanjiro is safe.”After Mao left, Kamado Kuizhi looked at the closed doors and windows, prayed silently, and then turned around to go back to the back room.

But at this moment, a”dong dong dong” sound suddenly came from the door.

Someone was knocking on the door.

“Brother is back?”Kamado Shigeru, who had just fallen asleep, got his head out of bed when he heard the sound.

On the other side, Nezuko, who had not yet rested, also looked happy.

However, Kamado Aoi’s face wrinkled instead Brows.

Did she just clearly not see Tanjiro on the road he usually walks?

Just as she was confused, Kamado Aoi saw Nezuko coming out of the back room.

“Mother?”Looking at Kamado Aoi who didn’t move much, Nezuko tilted her head.

“Nezuko, be careful, it may be a bear that hasn’t gone into hibernation.”Facing the eldest sister among the children who can already share her worries, Kamado Aoi expressed her concerns.

Hearing that it might be a bear, Nezuko showed a trace of fear on her face.

There is such a thing, some bears do not survive the winter Eat enough food before arrival, so they will delay hibernation.

During this period, they will be anxiously looking for food and often attack humans.

Smart bears will even hide and wave to people to attract people, or Knocking on someone’s door… in short, the threat is very great.

Kamado Tanjuro, the father of the Kamado family, once beheaded a bear that attacked his family with an axe.

But now that Kamado Tanjuro has passed away, the Kamado family only has a few orphans and widows. , unable to resist the ferocious bear.

So if there is a bear outside, then they can only pray that the house is strong enough and the bear cannot get in!

On the other side, Kamado Shigeru, Kamado Takeo and Kamado Hanako also heard their mother’s words , and ran out quickly.

Except for the very young Kamado Rokuta, who was already asleep, the others dug out some furniture that could be used as weapons at home, and then gathered around to gain a little more confidence.

At this time, Fang Fang There were two more knocks on the door. The Zaomen family was too nervous to move and did not make any response.

Outside the door, Cheng Gao looked at the room in front of him, somewhat silent.

There was clearly light coming out of the gap. , but why didn’t anyone open the door?

Cheng Gao quickly circled the house at a speed that ordinary people couldn’t see clearly, recalling the appearance of the Kamado family in the anime, and then nodded.

That’s right! This is the house!

Then why not Someone opened the door? It’s not like they knew Kibutsuji Muzan was coming, right?

“Is anyone here? I missed my time to go down the mountain. Can I stay overnight?”After knocking on the door again and still getting no response, Cheng Gao called loudly towards the house.

When they heard voices in the house, Kamado Shigeru and others were startled for a moment, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

“Mother?”Nezuko turned to look at Kamado Aoi.

But Kamado Aoi continued to shake her head because she couldn’t be sure whether there was a bad person outside the door.

To them, an adult man with malicious intentions was no less of a threat than a hungry bear..

And, in addition, Kamado Aoi also knows some secrets.

She knows very well that in this world, there is a kind of monster called ghost, which moves at night and preys on humans.

And their family has a large number of people, But most of them are children who have no ability to resist. They still live alone in the mountains and cannot ask for help from others when something goes wrong. In a sense, it is easy to attract ghosts.

Therefore, Kamado Aoi is not allowed to be careless.

However, Kamado Aoi is not allowed to be careless. Men Kuizhi also knew that since it was not a bear,”pretending to be dead” would not solve the problem.

So, she could only say:”Sir, I am very sorry, but someone in the family is infected with smallpox, so it is not convenient for guests. You should look for something else…ahem!”

Then, there was a violent coughing sound in the house.

Outside the door, Cheng Gao was confused when he heard the sound coming from inside the house. What’s going on? The Zaomen family has an infectious disease?

But he quickly reacted :This is Mrs. Kamado’s way of rejecting him.

“So cautious!”

Cheng Gao smiled, but visiting the widow’s house at night is indeed suspicious.

But Cheng Gao can’t help it. Decent people have the protection of”decent”, just like the protection of luck in fantasy novels.

Tomorrow Tanjiro Tomioka Giyu, a member of the Demon Slayer Squad, will arrive, and something will change later. He must deal with the Kamado family tonight.

Inside the house, Kamado Aoi deliberately made a series of uncomfortable noises, and the children were also very smart, and they all reacted Come over, cooperate with each other, and make a series of sounds, as if someone is really infected with smallpox.

Now, the other party should be gone, right?

Kamado Aoi was coughing and looked towards the door.

If it were a normal human being, he would definitely be infected with smallpox. For fear of avoiding it, if it is a ghost, it should not be interested in this kind of patient.

No, in the hope of Kamado Aoi, I just heard the voice outside the door ringing again.:

“smallpox? What a coincidence! I am the doctor who went up the mountain to collect medicine, so I can take a look at it for you.”

Oh no! This is still a heavy-tasting ghost.

Kamado Aoi’s vision went dark, her body softened, and her heart was full of despair.

She didn’t believe Cheng Gao’s words at all.

After all, for a strong infection like smallpox, Disease, even a doctor, must be fully prepared before starting treatment!

How could you be so direct?

Moreover, Kamado Aoi couldn’t hear any fear in Cheng Gao’s voice. This is not normal.

Big Some people are afraid of smallpox, but the only ones who are not afraid are… ghosts!

“Nezuko, I will buy time for you later. You should see the opportunity and run quickly, and remember to run separately!”

Facing that powerful inhuman creature, Kamado Aoi couldn’t think of any way to resist. In the end, she could only lower her voice and gave instructions to Nezuko and others in a trembling voice.

“But… mother, and Mrs. Six……”At the critical moment, as the eldest sister, Nezuko faintly felt the pressure on Kamado Aoi. She didn’t say anything unrealistic, but if she just ran away like this, what would the youngest Rokuta do?

Hearing this, Kamado Aoi didn’t reply, but just closed her eyes in pain.

Mrs. Six is little, just a little bigger than a baby, so she can’t run away.

Maybe she could entrust Nezuko and the others to run with Rokuta, but that would only drag Nezuko and the others down.

Kamado Aoi is not stupid, she knows very well that even if they run away separately, the probability of surviving is very slim, let alone taking Rokuta with them.

Seeing her mother closing her eyes and showing such an expression, Nezuko also understood. She remained silent and said nothing more, but her eyes became moist.

“Not so! Maybe he really is just a doctor staying overnight!”On the other side, as a boy, Takeo is not as sensitive as Nezuko and cannot see Kamado Aoi’s despair, leaving him with optimistic thoughts.

Kamado Aoi shook her head and did not have unrealistic illusions. She must do it Preparing for the worst.

Kamado Aoi lowered her head, touched Nezuko with her forehead, and touched the other children one by one as a farewell.

Then Aoi’s face became firm, she picked up the shovel, and slowly walked towards door.
