Chapter 240 239. The Wounded Wolf
The construction site in medieval Japan was very eye-catching for Lan En.
The sight of a group of men wearing only loincloths and sweating profusely in a dusty place really made him uncomfortable.
But ancient labor is such an ugly and dangerous thing. If you insist on wearing clothes, the risk of death after heat stroke will be very high.
Kotaro jogged and called the ‘Roshan’ on the construction site over.
Taro Bing followed Kotaro, his fat body jumping up and down.
The face with Down syndrome showed a simple and honest smile, which was very different from the panic that night when bandits invaded.
It can be seen that even if he is doing hard labor, he feels better than doing it with the bandits.
This is indeed a simple man who came out of the temple.
When the two of them walked in front of Lan En, Tarang Bing cast a shadow like a hill, shrouding Lan En below.
But unlike this extremely oppressive figure, his head was lowered, and his hands rubbed back and forth on the waist rope of his crotch cloth, pinching the waist rope for a while, and then loosening it again. While he was taking a breath, his hands moved to several places.
Like a primary school student who doesn’t know how to speak to strangers.
"This is the Tailang soldier you knocked unconscious that night. Don't be stunned, speak up."
Kotaro bowed slightly to Lan En in the first half of the sentence, and in the second half of the sentence, he He gave the Tailang soldier beside him a small kick.
Tarang Bing's face was full of distress now. He couldn't quite remember what he had been told to speak before.
"Donor, benefactor! Can the young monk return to Xianfeng Temple? In the future, the young monk will definitely pray for the benefactor day and night?"
He stumbled and said, and he should have sworn to Lan En firmly. But he said something and gave Kotaro a tentative look next to him.
Finally, swear well was turned into a question.
Belongs to the level of giving answers but not memorizing them.
Lan En scratched his head after hearing this.
"Okay, you don't have to admit that you didn't kill anyone that night. You have done so much work to make up for the things you broke. If you want to go back to the temple, just go with Kotaro."
"With your destructive power, don't be kidnapped again just by someone saying it casually. Stay well in the temple."
The huge figure suddenly put his hands on his knees, The face came close to Lan En, with characteristic eyes with large interpupillary distance and small eye sockets. There was a twinkle of pure surprise.
"Really? You forgive me! Can I go back to the monastery! Thank you! You, you not only knocked me out that night and didn't let me hurt anyone, but now you let me go back to the monastery. !”
“You are such a good person!”
As he spoke, the huge Taro soldier actually held his knees and cried.
Kotaro patted his shoulder on the side, and he could only reach Taro Bing's shoulder when the other person was in this position.
"Of course Master Lan En is a good person! You will pray day and night from now on, this is not empty talk!"
"Of course! I will recite sutras for you in Xianfeng Temple! ”
At this promise, Lan En waved his hand casually.
"I told you there's no need, I don't believe in Buddhism."
Lan En came forward, and Tarang Bing was quickly taken out from among the prisoners.
Indeed, as Kotaro said, many people in Pingtian Village believe in Senboji Temple. Therefore, the process of Taro Bing being taken away went smoothly.
Wait until the afternoon, when Kotaro sets off for Senfou Temple. He is expected to arrive at noon the next day.
The Star Offering Ceremony has very strict time requirements. In order to make their birth date and horoscope perfectly match the time and astrology, some people will even change their names temporarily during the ceremony.
This is all in order to accurately seek the blessing of one's own 'fate star'.
Kotaro's mother had already calculated it for him when he was seeking qualifications for the Dharma Assembly. During the Star Offering Dharma Assembly, he would be temporarily called 'Xianyun'. After finishing this matter, Kotaro took Tailang Bing and thanked Lan En again before leaving.
Lan En is also in a good mood. Helping others and receiving gratitude is hard not to make people feel good.
When he strolled back to the Hirata family's inner house, he happened to see Miko's personal ninja, Wolf, throw off the hook lock and fly from behind him to the roof of the inner house's courtyard.
It looked like he had just come back from work outside.
"Suck-"
Lan En's nostrils smelled an unusual smell and instinctively twitched slightly.
"It's that kind of pill, and other medicinal powders, judging from the ingredients. It's for detoxification? Is he injured?"
Lan En's attainments in alchemy and identification of medicinal materials need no introduction. , he can distinguish the medicinal properties of most medicinal materials with a little smell.
For an elite ninja like Wolf, common poisonous snakes and insects in the mountains and forests cannot affect him at all. Those who can poison him must also be ninjas!
The young man's brows frowned slightly, and he felt that something was about to happen.
When Lan En went straight to Yuzi's residence in the inner house, and went in after the announcement, he saw the wolf half-kneeling in front of Yuzi, with his head lowered and reporting something.
The witcher's undisguised steps were first noticed by the wolf, and he automatically stopped reporting.
The ninja will not make his own decision until the master determines whether the information should be heard by a third person.
Miko Kuro was looking down in distress, but when he heard the wolf's report suddenly stopped, he looked up and saw Lan En sitting cross-legged.
The young man first smiled apologetically at Miko.
"It's a bit presumptuous to come here this time, but is the wolf injured due to poisoning? Is there an emergency?"
Lan En estimates that it will be half a month before the opening of the celestial sphere intersection rift. If something happens to Pingtianzhuang again during this period, he will be really in trouble.
The young Miko was quite calm, his delicate brows were furrowed and he shook his head slightly.
"This matter is really irritating. Lord Lan En, please listen. This matter may require the efforts of the entire manor's guards to contain it."
With Miko's approval, the wolf half-knelt and turned slightly towards Lan En turned around.
The low and calm voice began to describe briefly from the beginning.
"On the day after the bandits were defeated in Pingtian Manor, a total of seven children under the age of eight disappeared in the manor."
When the first sentence came out, Lan En was originally calm. The corners of his mouth twitched sharply.
The amber cat eyes narrowed slightly. Somehow, Miko suddenly felt that the room seemed to be a little cold.
The wolf raised his head at this moment, frowned at Lan En, and then continued to speak steadily.
“At the beginning of the chaos, we only thought it was caused by the massacre by bandits. So we recorded the names of these seven children on the casualty list and gave up. But after the bandits were defeated, not only The disappearance of children in Pingtianzhuang did not stop, and such incidents began to occur frequently in surrounding villages. The farmers began to panic, and only after the village chiefs could no longer suppress it, did they report it to Lord Miko."
"So Lord Miko sent. I went to investigate, as you can see."
The wolf lifted up the hem of his orange feather fabric toward Lan En, and there was a bandage coated with powdered medicine wrapped around his lower waist.
The smell of the powder was exactly the antidote that Lan En smelled.
"I encountered ninjas I have never seen before. They are kidnapping children for unknown purposes."
After Wolf finished speaking calmly, Lan En's palms began to clenched unconsciously. Open and close again.
The pair of studded leather gloves made a harsh crunching sound as the leather was rubbed and clenched.
