Chapter 89 Tanjiro Returns from Selling Charcoal

late at night.

Su Yan lit a bonfire outside Zao Men's house to illuminate the surrounding area.

Zao Men Mi Dou Zi sat blankly in front of the campfire, his eyelids drooping uncontrollably.

Under the glow of the campfire, her little face was rosy, and her sleepy head bobbed up and down, making her look incredibly cute.

Not long ago, after learning the truth, Midouzi sent her two younger siblings back inside to continue sleeping.

He was left alone here with Su Yan and his family members who had been transformed into evil spirits.

At first, Mi Douzi showed great curiosity about Su Yan, the man who knew about her family's affairs and came to her door. She enthusiastically pulled him along and kept asking him all sorts of questions.

Su Yan did not refuse to communicate with Ni Douzi, and the two chatted for a long time.

Of course, most of the time it was actually Ni Douzi who asked the questions, and Su Yan who answered.

The young girl seemed to possess endless vitality. After asking all the questions in her mind, Mizuko began to talk about herself again.

Su Yan didn't stop her; instead, he seemed quite interested in the girl's affairs.

Similarly, most of the time it was still Mi Douzi talking by herself while Su Yan listened, only occasionally responding with a word or two.

This chat not only helped Su Yan learn more about the girl, Ni Douzi, but also brought the two of them closer together.

Initially, Ni Douzi harbored some doubts about Su Yan, but she completely let down her guard.

He no longer harbored any wariness towards Su Yan.

But as time went by, the night grew darker and darker.

Gradually, even the little bean couldn't resist starting to feel sleepy.

His head bobbed up and down, as if he were about to fall over at any moment.

Suddenly, Midouzi's head slumped, and his body tilted forward uncontrollably.

At this moment, Su Yan quickly reached out and placed his palm on Mi Douzi's forehead, stopping the girl from falling.

The girl suddenly opened her eyes, her pink gem-like eyes becoming noticeably clearer.

Seeing that the girl had regained consciousness, Su Yan smiled and withdrew his hand.

Mi Douzi first looked up at her family members who were tied up like rice dumplings and were sleeping quietly not far away.

She glanced at Su Yan beside her, then asked somewhat blankly, "Brother Su Yan, can I lean on your shoulder for a bit?"

He finished speaking without waiting for Su Yan's reply.

Mi Douzi shifted her body, bringing the two of them close together. She boldly rested her head on Su Yan's shoulder and closed her eyes.

at the same time.

Tanjiro Kamado, who was out selling charcoal, also stepped into the forest at this time.

For some reason, Tanjiro had been feeling uneasy ever since tonight.

-

Therefore, he specifically declined the suggestion to stay overnight at his kind grandfather's house.

And they rushed back home as quickly as possible.

"Is it the smell of blood?"

Tanjiro Kamado's nose twitched.

A very faint smell of blood could be detected in the air.

Moreover, the source of the bloody smell was not any animal he knew.

Instead—

Human blood!

"Mom, Midouzi, and everyone else, please be alright!"

Tanjiro's heart tightened, and his unease intensified. He muttered to himself.

His already brisk pace turned into a full-on run as he quickly made his way towards his home deep in the mountains.

"Is that a fire?"

The dazzling flames intensified Tanjiro's unease.

The family with the stove was not from a wealthy household.

If there's nothing else going on, they don't even bother turning on the lights at night.

But now, even from such a great distance, I see such a dazzling light.

This means that something terrible must have happened at home.

Is there a fire?

Or is it because of something else?

In his anxiety, Tanjiro's speed increased once again.

"Beans?"

As the distance closed, Tanjiro soon saw Nezuko in front of the campfire, and—

Su Yan was leaning against Mi Douzi.

Tanjiro's first reaction was, "Who is this guy? Why is he so close to my sister?"

At first glance, this man seemed quite compatible with Mi Douzi, a good match for her younger sister.

The third look was one of anger, utter anger.

Tanjiro saw that his mother and two younger brothers were bound together with silver chains.

They were placed to one side, just like three rice dumplings.

The other end of the chain was connected to Su Yan's hand.

Tanjiro easily came to a conclusion.

This man in front of me is no good!

While he was away, he tied up his family members and used them to threaten his younger sister, Mizuko, and did some bad things to her.

As for the strong smell of blood emanating from the air?

She glanced at her mother and two younger brothers, whose clothes were stained with blood but who seemed to be unharmed.

Then she thought of her younger brother, Shigeru Kamado, and her other younger sister, Hanako Kamado, who were not present.

A bad thought instantly popped into my head.

His two younger siblings are probably already—

"You bastard, let go of Nezuko!!"

Thinking of this, Tanjiro, filled with anger, charged towards Su Yan.

"elder brother?"

Awakened by the shouts, Nezuko stared blankly at Tanjiro rushing towards her.

For a moment, she was caught off guard and felt somewhat bewildered by her brother Tanjiro's behavior.

Ni Douzi quickly realized something.

She was about to speak up to stop the impulsive Tanjiro.

He then discovered that his brother had already been pinned to the ground by Su Yan.

"Bastard, let me go!"

Tanjiro, who was pinned to the ground, struggled frantically, and the noise he made woke up Kamado Aoi, who was not far away.

"Tanjiro, calm down."

Upon waking, Kamado Aoi quickly guessed the reason for what had happened after seeing the scene before her, and immediately shouted to stop it.

At this moment, Mi Douzi also stood up and criticized, "Brother, you are too impulsive. Brother Su Yan is not a bad person."

"Mom? Sister? Why?"

Tanjiro looked at his younger sister Nezuko with confusion and said, "But what about Hanako, and Shigeru—"

"They just went back to their rooms to sleep—"

Mizuko looked at the misunderstanding Tanjiro speechlessly, then looked at Su Yan and said, "Brother Su Yan, please let go of my brother first, I will explain things to him."

"this----"

Tanjiro was speechless.

I started to reflect on it. Maybe I really had misunderstood?

After being released by Su Yan, she stood up and began to communicate with Ni Douzi.

Watching Tanjiro constantly lower his head and be scolded by Nezuko, who looked like a little adult, Su Yan couldn't help but find it a bit funny.

"I'm so sorry, I misunderstood. I'm so sorry."

After learning what had happened from his younger sister, Nezuko, Tanjiro promptly bowed and apologized to Su Yan.

It must be said that, although the members of the Kamado family seem to have quite a few impulsive genes in them.

However, in terms of manners, the education was truly excellent.

"Since Mr. Su Yan came for Hinokami Kagura, this is to express our apology and gratitude for saving your family."

After learning of Su Yan's purpose, Tanjiro spoke again, saying, "I am willing to demonstrate my Hinokami Kagura for Mr. Su Yan."

"Mr. Tanjiro, would you mind if one more person watched Hinokami Kagura?"

Instead of having Tanjiro demonstrate Sun Breathing, Su Yan suddenly asked this strange question.

"One more person?"

Tanjiro was somewhat puzzled.

Besides ourselves, who else is here?

Before this, he had never thought that his Hinokami Kagura was anything special.

Furthermore, if the Hinokami Kagura is indeed a sword technique used to kill demons, he wouldn't mind more people learning it.

In this way, we can perhaps reduce the occurrence of things like what happened in our family in the future.

So Tanjiro didn't think much of it and readily agreed, "Okay."

"Thank you then."

After speaking, Su Yan made no attempt to avoid their gazes, directly manifesting the phantom of the portal in front of them, and then walked straight in.
