"Sister! Come and see what I dug up."
A little girl, with some dirt on her face, holding a small hoe in one hand and black medicinal herbs in the other, happily showed off to her sister.
On the side, unlike the somewhat impatient little girl, her sister is a more gentle young girl.
She looked at the girl with both fondness and blame in her eyes.
"Shinobu, girls should pay attention to their image. Look at your clown face."
"Also! Don't shout loudly in the mountains, it may attract wild animals..."
"Yes~ My father once said that, I know~" The girl's name is Shinobu Kocho, and she responded to her sister Kanae Kocho in a perfunctory manner.
Kocho Kanae didn't mind her sister's perfunctory attitude. She walked over to her with a smile, bent down and wiped her face.
The already beautiful face became even more charming.
"This should be Polygonum multiflorum. It helps with hair growth!"
Butterfly Kanae was knowledgeable and quickly recognized the medicinal herbs in her sister's hand.
"Is it valuable? Can I buy my sister a new hairpin?" When Shinobu Kocho saw that she had really dug out the medicinal herbs, her eyes were full of anticipation.
"No!" Kanae shook her head, indicating that this was just an ordinary medicinal herb and was not valuable.
When Shinobu Kocho heard this, she lost interest like a deflated ball and kept digging the soil with a small hoe.
"Really? I can't dig up any valuable medicinal herbs. I won't come here again!"
The sister's complaints were heard clearly by the elder sister.
With a mysterious look on her face, she pulled out a clenched fist from behind her back, and it seemed that there was something hidden inside.
"Then I'll give Shinobu a gift. Guess what it is?"
My sister actually has a gift for me?
Her eyes lit up and she blurted out, "Sugar!"
In that era, sugar was a very precious commodity and was controlled by the government, so its price remained high.
Butterfly Kanae shook her head.
"comb?"
Still not right.
"..."
All her answers were rejected by her sister. Shinobu Kocho pouted, knowing that her sister was teasing her.
"No more guessing! Humph, I don't care."
Seeing that her sister was angry and embarrassed, Butterfly Kanae stopped teasing her and spread out her hand, revealing a lavender hairpin with a floral pattern and a slightly pink hue.
"so beautiful!"
It is human nature to pursue beautiful things.
This exquisite hairpin immediately attracted her attention.
"Oh, since Xiaonin doesn't want it, should I give it to someone else?"
"no!"
Kochiko Shinobu hurriedly grabbed it and put it on her head, fearing that her sister would regret it. The smile on her face was more beautiful than the flower.
Kocho Kanae gently touched the small wound on her hand, which was the mark left by the unskilled use of needle and thread.
She spent several weeks weaving a piece of clothing for a wealthy family and exchanged it for some money, which was then used to buy this hairpin.
There was a pair of these hairpins, and she really liked the other one, but unfortunately she could only afford one, so she had to choose the one her sister liked.
Kocho Kanae is not the kind of person who would regret something, so this kind of thing just flashed through her mind.
She smiled and said to her sister:
"Okay, let's go back!"
"No! I must dig up valuable medicinal herbs! I want to buy my sister a new hairpin!"
The younger sister was obsessed with this matter, and after receiving the gift from her sister, she regained her confidence.
"Eh? I heard..."
Kocho Kanae lowered her voice to create a terrifying atmosphere.
Shinobu Kocho was frightened by her sister. She felt a little creepy. She held her sister's arm and said in a trembling voice: "What...what did you hear? Sister, don't...don't scare me! I'm very timid..."
"I heard there are man-eating ghosts in the mountains!"
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Before Shinobu Kocho could finish her pretentious words, she was startled by her sister's words. Her screams soared into the sky and spread throughout the mountain.
"Sister...sister, I remember mother...should have prepared dinner. Let's go back quickly."
Shinobu Kocho, with a slightly blushing face, shook her sister's arm and whispered.
"it is good."
"I'm not scared, I'm very brave."
"Yes, yes! Shinobu is the bravest!"
Butterfly Kanae agreed with a smile.
It was noon at this time. The sun was shining brightly, shining through the layers of leaves and sprinkling on the sisters' hair, which was shining with golden light and was very beautiful.
The two walked further and further away, and in the depths of the dark forest, a dark shadow emerged.
"Hehehe! What a charming girl!"
"Give them to Lord Douma, and he will surely reward me with more blood!"
"Power! I want more powerful power!"
After saying that, he memorized the other person's scent and prepared to take action at night.
……
After crossing this mountain, there are of course still mountains on the other side.
This area is mountainous, with continuous hills and shrouded in mist. From time to time, wild animals would poke their heads out from behind the tall trees, looking curiously at the little girl on the road. Just as Zhou Yi said, the dark green hair really looks good, especially when paired with Zhen Gu's cute face.
"It's really far away! I wonder if your destination is the same as mine, with deep mountains and jungles everywhere."
Zhen Gu shook his sleeves to shake off the wet droplets on his body.
At noon, the small water droplets in the mountains evaporate and spread in the air. If pedestrians are on their way at this time, they will encounter the situation of real wild gourds.
Fortunately, the Demon Slayer Corps' uniforms are waterproof.
"Junior brother! Junior brother!" The annoying crow began to repeat what Zhen Gu said.
Zhen Gu's face was full of black lines. He stood up and jumped, and caught the crow that was imitating others.
She placed the dark green blade on the crow's slender neck.
"Shut up!"
"I understand! I understand!"
The miserable crow barely managed to keep its life.
After dealing with the talkative crow, Zhen Gu felt much happier. He jumped over the small pit left by people picking herbs.
"There are traces of people digging for medicine. It looks like they are almost there."

Chapter 13: Recent Strange Things in Butterfly Town
Zhen Gu followed the mountain road down the mountain and finally arrived at this secluded town.
The residents of the town were very simple and honest. They greeted the strangers warmly, but there was a hint of sadness in their expressions.
Among them was a beautiful woman who was respected by everyone.
And this woman also exchanged a few words with Zhen Gu.
"Little girl, you are from outside, right? You look unfamiliar."
"Yes, I'm going to Butterfly Town today." Zhen Gu answered politely.
"Excuse me, has anything strange happened in this town recently?" Zhen Gu pointed to the sword at his waist.
Although a knife ban had been issued at this time, carrying a blade was illegal.
But in such a remote place, martial virtues are still abundant, and showing one's identity as a warrior can help one obtain better information.
"This style of weapon! You are a Demon Slayer..." The beautiful woman covered her mouth, looked carefully at Makomo's outfit, and said in disbelief.
"Do you know the Demon Slayer Corps?" Shinkomo was quite surprised that someone here knew about the Demon Slayer Corps.
"This is not the place to talk. Please come with me." The woman calmed herself down and led Zhen Gu to the edge of the town.
Zhengu also set out to follow.
Soon we arrived at a small clinic.
There is a sign hanging on the side: Butterfly Clinic
This town is called Butterfly Town, and the clinic is also called Butterfly Clinic. Is there any connection between them?
The woman saw Zhen Gu's confusion and explained with a smile.
"My name is Butterfly Dance, and this clinic is named after my husband."
"Since we opened this clinic, my husband and I have helped many people. We have received so much love from everyone that we changed the name of the town to Butterfly Town."
"It made you laugh."
With his extraordinary medical skills and good reputation, the town changed its name, but he remained humble and gentle.
Zhengu added a bit of favorability.
After passing through the clinic's main door and nodding to several injured patients, the two men came to the back room.
Butterfly Dance poured tea for Zhen Gu personally.
Zhengu took it carefully and took a sip.
It is indeed a good tea, with a refreshing fragrance and a sweet aftertaste.
But there are more important things to do right now.
"Madame Butterfly, since you know the existence of the Demon Slayer Corps, I will get straight to the point."
"Is there anything unusual in the town recently? I've been ordered to come and kill the ghosts."
The usually approachable Shinkomo becomes extremely serious when talking about exterminating demons.
Especially after the final selection, she felt a little lonely.
"If my junior brother hadn't shown up, would I have survived facing the hand ghost alone?"
"Junior brother is so strong now, can I keep up with him?"
Before leaving, the master had privately counseled her:
"Zhen Gu, there are differences between people. I hope you won't get stuck in your obsession..."
The answer to the first question is unknown, after all, the hand ghost is dead.
But she must become stronger!
Conventional training was no longer effective, she needed actual combat.
This is why she is so persistent.
Butterfly Dance looked at the persistent Zhen Gu in front of her and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"You really look like the swordsman who saved us..."
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't be sad at this time."
