“Hello, Tanjiro, my name is Oboro… Nice to meet you.”

A cold wind blew in, and the snow that had been swept clean around was covered with a layer of ice crystals again.

The drifting snow haze surged around Oboro’s body. In the eyes of the little Tanjiro, Oboro’s haori swayed in the wind, his hair was blown up, revealing a pair of “beautiful” features that he had never seen before. The calm and gentle smile on his face made the man exude a different kind of temperament.

The interweaving of light and scenery seems to merge into one with the heaven and earth, forming a picture scroll.

For a moment, Tanjiro was stunned.

At this moment, a sound was heard and the door in the distance was pushed open.

“Father…someone is coming.”

Tanjiro’s face turned red and he ran back embarrassedly.

Chapter 273 Settled Down

“You are…”

Kamado Tanpei walked out the door and looked at Long.

His calm eyes concealed doubt, surprise, vigilance and fear, but he hid them well.

He was surprised because he didn’t know the person who came and judging from the maids around Long and their clothes, they were either rich or noble.

And there’s also Oboro’s own aura… In the eyes of Tanpei Kamado, it blends perfectly with everything in the mountains.

The doubt is that such people would not easily have anything to do with the untouchables like them in the mountains.

The reason for the caution is simpler.

He saw that this strange young warrior was extraordinary.

His physique seemed weak…but the whole person standing there had an indescribable charm.

It’s breathing…

Shocked… This was the first time Tanpei Kamado had seen this kind of ‘person’ since he was born.

Fortunately, the other party doesn’t seem to have any malicious intentions.

What Oboro noticed first was not Tanpei Kamado’s appearance, but the sun wheel earrings on his ears and his forehead.

There was no familiar scar on his forehead.

This person is almost the same as Kamado Tanjuro, but he is thinner than the latter, and his figure is only slightly more plump than the current Oboro. In addition, Kamado Tanpei’s health is not good… The meeting between the two is a bit like a gathering of fellow patients.

The charcoal stove door should be shorter.

A head of hair that glows red in the sunlight.

“It seems that not every generation has scars… and only those who can develop scars are qualified to be selected?” Long whispered softly.

The Fire God Kagura is the Sun Breathing. This breathing method is not something that ordinary people can practice… Just like the breathing technique, if one’s qualifications and talents are not good, it will shorten one’s lifespan. This may also be the reason why the Kamado clan did not live long, but in order to inherit the gift of their benefactor, Yoriichi Tsugakuin, they never forgot their mission.

Generation after generation, without the slightest wavering.

“My name is Long, and I come from Youguo.”

Long smiled and introduced himself, “I heard that your family has a Kagura dance that has been passed down from generation to generation. It is a dance that is performed to pray for peace from the God of Fire. I came here today to watch it. I hope Mr. Tanpei can fulfill my wish. As you can see, my body is already a broken candle, and there is no medicine in the world to cure it. Therefore, I can only put my hope of survival on such an unrealistic thing… I hope that the God of Fire can show his spirit and let me live for a while longer.”

Long seemed very polite and sincere.

“Father.”

Tanjiro ran to Tanpei and nervously grabbed his father’s sleeve. Although he was not very old, he understood… that kind of dance to worship the God of Fire cannot be performed casually. His father’s health would deteriorate every time he danced it.

“Mr. Long also said that it is unrealistic… I’m afraid your trip will be in vain.”

Tan Ping placed his large hand on top of his son’s head and smiled gently, “Tan Ping can do nothing about the great man’s misfortune… I only make a living by selling charcoal, not as a pharmacist.”

From the change of words from “Sir”, Tanping’s meaning was very clear.

At this time, Tanpei’s wife also walked out of the house and nodded to Oboro.

She is a gentle and virtuous woman.

You can tell from the face and eyes…

“excuse me.”

After hearing this, Long was not disappointed and turned around to leave.

Continuous coughing.

There were sporadic snowflakes floating in the sky again…

“grown ups.”

Seeing this, the maid looked hesitant.

The three of them walked up from the foot of the mountain, but it took them several hours… Now it was about to snow again, and it was about to get dark.

“Your Excellency, please stay.”

Tanpei’s voice came from behind.

The man said softly, “If you don’t mind, you can stay in my humble abode for one night and go down the mountain tomorrow morning. This will be safer.”

His wife also smiled at him.

“Thank you.”

Hazy nodded.

Led the two maids into the house.

The wind chimes hanging under the eaves outside the door were gently blown by the wind, making pleasant crisp sounds.

Walking into the house, Long found that the furnishings in the room were very simple. There was a hanging stove burning charcoal, a few beds on the ground, and the rest of the items were some daily necessities, most of which were handmade by himself.

However, Oboro also saw the masks required for Kagura dance, as well as some things related to worshiping gods.

Oboro sat by the fire, the firelight illuminating his bloodless skin, and a maid beside him helped him take off his haori.

The Tanping couple did not feel any discomfort at the arrival of the guests, especially the woman, who was very considerate… Although Guanlong was unwell, she was the first to serve him the tea she had brewed. There was no flattery or excessive enthusiasm, just a kind willingness to help, which made people feel extremely comfortable.

Tanpei only has one child, not as many as Tanjuro.

After Long sat down, Tanping didn’t say anything. He just sat not far away and used a small knife to patiently carve an object.

However, Tanjiro was secretly glancing at Long’s profile.

Children are naturally curious.

In addition, it might be because she had never seen such a “good-looking” man, and his temperament was completely different from the people in the town below the mountain.

He often followed his father down the mountain to sell charcoal.

Moreover, it was obvious that Oboro was an important figure, which made Tanjiro seem a little rude.

“Kan Yoshiro.”

Tanping called softly.

“fine.”

Oboro waved to Tanjiro.

“The world is not fair now, most people are displaced, and only a few can have enough food and clothing.”

“I disturbed you without permission and came here uninvited. I troubled you to welcome me so attentively. I deserve some compensation.”

“This way… I can feel at peace.”

As he spoke, Oboro stuffed a valuable jade ornament into Tanjiro’s hand.

Tan Ping’s expression changed slightly when he saw this.

His wife also has to speak.

But Long raised his hand and said, “If you don’t accept it, I will be embarrassed.”

“…”

There are many large wild animals on Yunqu Mountain. You can easily run into them during the day, let alone at night.

Although I know that Long is quite powerful and won’t be in danger, if I really leave… it would be a bit like driving him away and adding insult to injury.

And Kamado Tanpei understood the purpose of doing this more clearly.

You can’t take things for free… Even if he can’t refuse it at the moment and won’t take it in the end, the gift is still given to him.

He should have expressed something.

“Ugh…”

Kamado Tanpei sighed.

He stood up, took his son and walked towards the kitchen.

Before leaving, he bowed slightly to Long and said, “People in the mountains have limited food, just simple meals.”

“trouble.”

Long rubbed his hands towards the charcoal fire and nodded.

Although what I did was a bit unkind, it was indeed very effective in dealing with the Kamado clan.

After a while, it was night.

Tanping’s wife took the bowls and chopsticks and prepared a pot of wild vegetable soup and rice balls for dinner.

Long simply took a few bites. It wasn’t because the food didn’t suit his taste, but because his current body’s digestion and appetite were very poor.

Afterwards, everyone crowded into one room and slept on the floor.

His arrival did not seem to disturb the family of three, but both Tanpei’s wife and little Tanjiro noticed… the strange atmosphere between Tanpei Kamado and Oboro.

This guest… is very special.
