Me and countless me.

Chapter 122: Calm Like Water

Kikyo opened her eyes wide and looked at the dead warrior in disbelief. She looked at Li Ke quietly for a while, then stood up silently.

He said nothing and did nothing. He just picked up his bow and arrow and walked towards the village.

Of course she knew what these soldiers and warriors would do when they entered the village. In this chaotic world, she had seen too many similar things.

But she still didn't want to see the death of any human being.

Because death and injury are the most tragic things. When you die, there is nothing left. Only when you are alive can you create the future.

Only when people are alive can they live their own lives after completing the mission given by God.

Although Kikyo vaguely realized that her mission might require her to stick to it for the rest of her life, she still hoped that other people could live the life they wanted.

However, Li Ke's ruthless behavior made her feel a little disgusted.

Enough people have died in this chaotic world.

If she took action, she would only scare these people away. With her archery skills, it would be easy for her to do that.

If all else fails, she can also open a barrier to protect the village.

There is no need to kill.

But this was also Li Ke's choice, and Li Ke did it for the village, so she would not blame Li Ke.

Because she knew very well that with Li Ke's ability, this was the best solution. Therefore, although she didn't like it, she wouldn't say anything.

However, after walking a little further, Kikyo looked at Li Ke, her pink lips slightly opened.

"Remember to come to the shrine to get rid of those grievances, otherwise you will become a monster."

Li Ke nodded while he searched the men for money.

"Well, I see."

Kikyo looked at Li Ke, who was skillfully looting the remains from the dead, and shook her head silently. She was ready to call a few villagers to help bury the bones in the back mountain of the shrine.

This is to both reduce the resentment of these corpses and prevent them from becoming ghosts, and to destroy the evidence.

Li Ke watched Kikyo leave, looked at the ropes around these people's waists, frowned, but still squatted down, untied the ropes around their waists, then tore off a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

It's not that Li Ke was so hungry that he ate the rope, but this rope is called taro rope, which is a seasoning and also a kind of food. It contains salt and miso. It can be used as a rope at ordinary times, and it can be eaten by cooking it with taro, which is dried grains, when eating.

In that era, it was considered a good meal, and was generally used as military rations.

So Li Ke quickly found the bags of bellows on these people, grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth. While chewing, Li Ke continued to search the corpses.

As for whether eating next to a corpse is a bit disgusting...

All I can say is that Hokage Li Ke’s experience is enough to make people immune to these things.

But unfortunately, these people didn't have much money on them. Even the warriors only had a few copper coins. They were really poor.

If there is anything valuable, it is the samurai sword in the opponent's hand that has never been drawn out for battle.

After pulling out the opponent's samurai sword, Li Ke looked at the shiny blade, observed it carefully, and then made his own comments.

"This knife is not bad. If you only look at its appearance, it can be sold for a good price. However, if it is used in combat, it is a bit too much."

After saying that, Li Ke started to strip the armor off this guy, but he was speechless halfway through, because the quality of the armor on this guy can't be said to be good, but its defensive ability is about the same as that of the armor made of wood.

It's even worse than wooden and paper armor.

Even the real wooden armor could not be cut by ordinary samurai swords, but the leather straps of the armor on the opponent's body were basically broken. If he wanted to wear it, it would take at least several days to repair it. "What a poor guy."

Li Ke shook his head speechlessly, and saw several villagers walking over with hoes and other things in their hands. It was obvious that they were here to collect the bodies.

They looked at Li Ke who was wielding the sword skillfully and subconsciously took a step back.

Because from their perspective, Li Ke was covered in muscles, holding a sword in his hand, which gave a creepy feeling. Coupled with the corpses on the ground and the movement of Li Ke chewing food, they almost thought they saw a man-eating evil ghost, so these villagers spoke with some fear.

"Well, Miss Kikyo asked us to come here to collect the bodies and take them to the cemetery behind the shrine. Sir..."

Li Ke didn't expect that Kikyo would actually put these people's bodies in the cemetery, but he didn't care too much and just nodded.

"It's okay, you guys do it. I haven't searched the other two people yet, so whatever they have on them, it's yours."

After saying that, Li Ke picked up the spear used by the warrior from the ground, picked up the warrior's armor, and walked towards the center of the village.

Of course, Li Ke also took away the rations of these people.

Back in the shrine, this time there was no one there like last time. Kikyo was sitting in the middle of the room, wrapping a bandage around her arm.

A cute little girl was helping Kikyo treat her wounds.

Li Ke was a little embarrassed, but he still put the money and food collected from the soldiers at the door of the two people's house.

"This is my food allowance. After all, I will be helping out here for a while."

Li Ke's words made the little girl look at him in astonishment. After observing Li Ke carrying a gun with her dark eyes, and then looking at the calm Kikyo, her face instantly became unhappy. However, she was afraid of Li Ke, so she hid behind Kikyo and looked at Li Ke with angry eyes.

Obviously, this little girl, who was obviously Kikyo's sister, guessed where the wound on her sister's arm came from.

But Kikyo looked at the food and money that Li Ke put down and shook her head slightly.

"Keep the money for yourself. I don't have anything that needs money to buy. As for food, that's fine, but you have to help Feng chop wood."

After saying that, Kikyo continued to wrap the bandage around her arm. Li Ke glanced at her arm, nodded, and then asked.

"When are you going to look for those daimyo?"

Although Li Ke didn't know who the daimyo who was fighting near Maple Village was, he knew that Kikyo would definitely not have much time to rest.

After hearing this, Kikyo finally looked at Li Ke seriously, especially at the spear and sword in Li Ke's hand.

"tomorrow."

Li Ke frowned.

"Your injury..."

Kikyo lowered her head again, still speaking in a calm tone. However, this calmness made Li Ke want to see what Kikyo would look like when she was no longer calm.

But what she said moved Li Ke a little.

"It's always good to have fewer people die."

Li Ke: “…………”

Although he knew that Kikyo was not blaming him, why did he still feel weird?
