Chapter 93 Chapter 03

In the dead of night, the torches moving towards the center of the lake and their reflections on the water, from a distance, look like two flaming ducks swimming on the water. "what?" Atong found the torch. "Ah! Someone is coming." Youba screamed out in shock, and grabbed the rope that tied Ah Tong tightly.Youba has done bad things by himself, and now encountering unexpected situations, he starts to feel restless. "What should I do?... By the way, come here and hide here." There is a praying rain hall surrounded by willows by the lake.People in the village don't quite know what gods are worshiped in this hall. They only know that if they come here to pray for rain during the summer drought, there will be abundant rainfall from the Komayake Mountain behind, like rain from the sky, falling on the wild women. pool.

"I do not want." Atong refused to move. After another eight arrests A Tong here, they tie A Tong behind the praying rain hall and reprimand A Tong for his wrongdoing. Atong's hands were tied and he couldn't move. Otherwise, he really wanted to fight to the death with You Bayi, but she had no choice.Atong really wished that she could jump into the lake in front of her and become the python on the carved beams and painted buildings in the Prayer for Rain Hall, the python curled up on the trunk of the willow tree and about to devour a cursed man in its mouth, but she couldn't do anything.

"Aren't you standing up?" Youba whipped A Tong on the back with a tree vine in his hand. The more Atung was beaten, the stronger his will was, but he hoped that Yupachi would best beat himself to death.So A Tong kept silent and stared at You Ba, which made You Ba unable to succeed. "Hey, hurry up." Youba urged again. Seeing that Atonglai refused to get up on the ground, Youba grabbed her by the collar. "come over." Atong, who was being dragged away by Youba, was about to shout for help to the torch in the middle of the lake, but Youba immediately stuffed her mouth with a handkerchief, then carried her on his shoulders and threw her into the hall.

Youba leaned against the lattice door to peek at the movements of Hokage in the distance.The boat on the lake finally turned into a river mouth about 200 meters away from the Prayer Hall, and the torches gradually disappeared. "Ah! That's great." You Ba patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief, but his mood was not calm yet. Although Atong is in her control, her heart still does not belong to her.Since yesterday evening, Youba felt as if he was leading a walking dead person, and felt very hard. If Atong is taken by force, she will definitely face death, maybe she will bite her tongue and commit suicide.Youba has understood Atong's personality since he was a child.

(Can't kill her!) You Eight's blind impulses and passions were thwarted. (Why does Atong hate me so much and only love Musashi? In her heart before, Musashi and I were in opposite positions!) Another eight can not understand.He was convinced that he was more popular with women than Musashi.In fact, after he got along with Jia and other women, he became more confident. It can be seen that after Musashi seduced Atong, he said bad things about himself again and again, which made Atong hate himself even more. Musashi slandered himself so much, but when he met himself, he said that the two had a deep friendship.

(I'm too kind to be fooled by Musashi, and I shed tears because of his false friendship...) Youba leaned against the latticed door, and remembered the harsh advice Sasaki Kojiro gave him when he was in the restaurant's brothel. He seemed to realize something.Sasaki Kojiro once ridiculed himself for being too cowardly, and scolded Musashi for his black heart. "Even the hair on your butt will be plucked by him!" Only now did he suddenly realize that this harsh advice really hit the nail on the head. At the same time, the eight pairs of Musashi also completely changed.In the past, no matter how big the change between the two is, the friendship can be restored.But this time, it's hatred on top of hatred.

"Musashi treats me like this..." Youbada cursed Musashi from the bottom of his heart, gnashing his teeth with hatred. Although Youba's personality is clear about likes and dislikes, he likes to curse others, but he doesn't hold grudges against others. However, after this incident, he hated Musashi deeply, and even hated his eight generations of ancestors. Musashi and himself have a fellowship, and the two grew up together, so why did they have a feud? Because Matahachi now thinks——Musashi is a hypocrite. Every time Musashi meets himself, he always wants to be a serious person and work hard.He also said that let us join hands and march towards a bright future!Now thinking of Musashi's words, Matahachigi felt that his face was hideous.

Yatachi even regretted that she shed tears for Musashi's words.Just because he is a good person, he was played by Musashi.Youba felt even more regretful when he thought of this, and his blood was racing. (The so-called good people in the world are all like Musashi, wearing the mask of a hypocrite. Just wait and see! I must work hard, study hard, and swear to surpass Musashi, and never be friends with this hypocrite. Even if I am called a bad person It doesn't matter, even if you do all the bad things, this life will stop that guy from getting ahead.) Originally, Youba had a straightforward personality, but this time it was the first time in his life that he kept things in his heart.

After making up his mind, Yabaan suddenly kicked down the latticed door behind him with a "boom".Youpachi who locked Atong into the temple, and Youpachi who walked into the house after clasping his hands outside the door and meditating just now, have become different people in an instant, like a little snake turning into a giant python. "Hmph! Why are you crying!" You Ba looked at the dark ground in the Prayer Hall, and said coldly: "A Tong..." "Quickly answer what I just asked you, quickly answer!" "..." "How can I know if you just cry and don't tell?"

Seeing that Youba was about to kick him, Ah Tong quickly moved his shoulder away. "I have nothing to say to you. If you are a man, kill me quickly!" "What nonsense are you talking about?" Another eight sneered—— "I just made up my mind. You and Musashi missed my life, and I will avenge you and Musashi for the rest of my life." "That's not the case. It's you and that woman named Ajia who ruined your life." "What did you say?" "Why do you or Ashanpo hate others so much?" "Stop talking nonsense, I just want you to answer whether you want to be my wife."

"I can say this answer several times!" "Nonsense." "During my lifetime, I only have the name Miyamoto Musashi in my heart, and I can't tolerate anyone else... let alone a cowardly man like you, I, Atong, hate this kind of person the most, and I can't stand goosebumps. " Any man who heard these words would kill or hang the other. After Ah Tong finished speaking, he looked desperate. "Hmph! You've said it all." Youba endured his trembling body and forced a sneer. "Do you hate me so much? You just need to say it clearly. But, Ah Tong, I will tell you clearly this time. Whether you hate me or like me, I will definitely get you tonight." "?..." "Are you trembling? Didn't you dare to say those words just now because of your consciousness?" "That's right. I grew up in a temple. I was an orphan who didn't know my background. I didn't fear death at all." "Do not make jokes." Youba squatted next to Atong, looking at Atong's avoiding face maliciously. "Who said I'm going to kill you? Killing you is not enough to vent your hatred, I want to do it!" After Youba finished speaking, he suddenly grabbed A Tong's left shoulder and bit A Tong's arm tightly with his teeth. Atong let out a scream. She lay on the ground and struggled, the more she tried to break free, the deeper her teeth gritted. Blood flowed down the sleeves to the bound fingers. You Ba clings to its prey like a crocodile. "..." Atong's face was even paler in the moonlight.Seeing this, Youba quickly loosened his teeth, then untied the handkerchief that bound A Tong's mouth, and checked her lips, because Youba was afraid that she would bite her tongue and kill herself. The severe pain caused Ah Tong to faint for a while.Her face was dripping with sweat, like a foggy mirror, but there was nothing unusual in her mouth. "Hey, wake up! Ah Tong, Ah Tong!" Youba was shaking, and Atong came back to his senses, and suddenly fell to the ground again and shouted: "It hurts, it hurts so much! Cheng Tai, Cheng Tai!" "Does it hurt?" Youba also turned pale, shrugged his shoulders, and said out of breath: "Even if your wound stops bleeding, the tooth marks will not disappear in a few years. What will people think if they see the tooth marks I left? What will happen if Musashi finds out? It won't be long anyway. , your body is still mine, so I will make a mark first. Run away if you want! I will announce to the world that anyone who dares to touch a woman with my teeth marks is my rival in love, and I will definitely take revenge of." "..." In the dark hall, some dust was occasionally scattered on the roof beams, and there were bursts of weeping on the floor. "Okay, how long are you going to cry? It's unlucky for you to cry, I won't scold you anymore, please be quiet...I'll fetch you some water!" After Youba finished speaking, he took down a container from the altar and was about to walk out the door when he found someone peeking outside the lattice door. "who is it?" You Ba was startled, the figure outside the door fled in a hurry, and You Ba immediately opened the lattice door. "You bastard." Another eight yelled and chased after him. Youba grabbed the man and took a closer look. It turned out to be a nearby farmer.He said that he had loaded some grain with his horse and was going to rush to a shop ahead overnight.After speaking, he was still trembling with fright. "Really, I didn't have other intentions. I just went to peek at it because I thought it was strange when I heard a woman crying in the hall." The other party tried to explain, knelt down and begged for mercy and kept apologizing. And eight times when you are weak, you will be strong, and immediately put on airs. "Is it just that? Do you have no other purpose?" His tone was bureaucratic swagger. "Yes, that's all..." The opponent trembled.Youba said: "Well! Then I'll spare you! But you have to unload all the goods on the horse's back, carry the woman in that hall, and walk in the direction I instructed until you reach my destination." Such an unreasonable request, even if it is not Youba, anyone will resist after hearing it. But the opponent had no power to fight back, obediently let A Tong sit on the horseback. Another eight picked up a branch of bamboo to whip the horse puller. "Hey! Farmer." "yes." "Don't go out into the street." "Then where are you going?" "Try to take the path that is sparsely populated. I'm going to Edo." "This... this is impossible." "It's impossible! Just take a detour. Just obediently avoid the Zhongsen Road and go from Ina to Koshu." "Then you must cross Quanbingwei Mountain from Laoshen Mountain. This mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk." "Wouldn't it be better to crawl over there? If you dare to be lazy, be careful that I will beat you." Youba kept waving his whip to warn the horse pullers. "I'll give you food, you don't have to worry, just go." The farmer wept in mournful voice: "Sir, I will accompany you to Ina, please let me go after passing Ina!" Youba shook his head. "Whispering! You can leave after I say yes. Before you reach your destination, if you dare to act rashly, be careful that I will chop off your head. I just need this horse, and I think you are in the way!" The road is dark, and the mountain road becomes more and more steep as you go up.The people and horses traveled all the way, exhausted.Finally, I finally climbed to the mountainside of Laoshen Mountain, and the faint morning light shone on the sea of ​​clouds at my feet. A Tong was tied to the horse's back and didn't say a word all the way. Now seeing the morning sun, his mood gradually calmed down. "Youba, please, let the farmer go! Give him back the horse too. I will never run away. The farmer is so pitiful." Although Youba doubted Atong's words, he couldn't withstand her repeated pleas, and finally untied her from the horse, and said: "You must obediently follow me." And eight confirmed again. "Okay, I will never run away. Before the disgraceful tooth marks on the arm disappear, it is useless to run away." After speaking, A Tong bit his lip tightly, and pressed the wound on his arm with his hand.
