The man in the column is perished, and the beginning of the treatment is not miserable - Chapter 243
c243 Extra volume:——Tie Qiao wants to leave
…
“…How long will you stay?”
Hearing this, Shang Quannai looked slightly melancholy. He raised his head and looked at the distant blue sky.
Fifteen years of life as a doctor have allowed him to see the difficult lives of many ordinary people in this era.
And the joy that people feel after being treated and surviving the disaster.
Occasionally seeing such a scene, Shang Quanna would feel in a trance, and his emotions seemed to jump with him.
Human emotions are re-infecting Shang Quannai.
He enjoys this kind of life.
And the reason why Ji Guoyuanyi asked “how long to stay”.
It’s because Shang Quannai used to feel a little nervous, and he often came to the Knife Forging Village to stay for a short time.
For this reason, the swordsmiths in the Knife Forging Village also jointly built a small house for Shang Quanna to rest when he returned.
Thinking about it, Shang Quannai slowly lowered his head and muttered:
“Um…”
“I don’t know how long I will stay this time… I don’t know.”
After saying that, he turned his head, gently patted Enichi Jiguo’s shoulder, put his hand on the other person’s shoulder, and smiled:
“When the day comes that I want to leave, I will leave.”
Yuan Yi stared at Shang Quan Nai silently, and then nodded:
“Well, I probably understand.”
After a moment of silence, Ji Guoyuan added:
“have a good rest.”
Bang bang!
After hearing this, Shang Quanna patted Jiguo Yuanyi’s shoulder a little harder, and then withdrew his hand.
In the past, when he came to the Knife Forging Village to rest, it was mostly to reminisce about old times, or to prepare for the next purposeful plan.
For example – purposefully heal others.
But now, he has neither a need to reminisce nor a next purposeful goal.
Therefore, there is no end to the waiting time.
To be honest, there is nothing that Shang Quan Nai really wants to do in the near future.
But in the near future, there may be one thing that Shang Quannai would like to participate in.
…
At this time.
The three of Kamado Sumire and others on the side began to feel a little reluctant.
“Ah – why?” Kamado Sumire’s tone was very reluctant, her shoulders were drooped, and her straight waist was also bent.
The tall ponytail swayed slightly:
“Do you have to stay for a long time? People will be ruined!”
Of course, Kamado Sumire does not have the connotation of Shangquan Nai.
What she complained about was just the news from the crow.
“Stay where you are.”
The last time they received such news, they didn’t receive any missions for a full year.
In order not to give up on themselves, the three Kimuras specially found Purgatory and Jujuro’s father, the current Enzhu Jinjuro, and conducted training for a year before they could keep up with the usual progress.
“Ah – are we going to do it again -!”
Kamado Sumire was at the side, kicking the stones on the ground angrily.
From time to time he raised his head high and covered his eyes in pain.
Well, it may be normal for adolescent girls to have greater mood swings.
Kimura narrowed his eyes slightly and made his own calculation in his mind.
Well, stay put, that is.
——You have enough time to stay and learn about puppets from Master Tie Qiao.
——Perhaps, there will still be time to master it, and it may even help with future tasks!
——It’s simply great!
“Hey, hahaha…” Thinking of this, Kimura couldn’t hold back his voice for a while and laughed softly.
“Huh? What are you laughing at?” Kamado Sumire turned her head sharply, her eyes became fierce, her face was unusually cold, and her tone was calm:
“Is it funny?”
“No… not… Sumire… you misunderstood…”
Kimura suddenly became excited. Seeing Sumire Kamado seeming to contain her own aura, a drop of cold sweat slowly flowed from his forehead:
“I… didn’t mean that…”
Just when the anger between Kamado Sumire and Kimura became weird.
Purgatory and Shourou, who looked innocent, slowly turned their heads, with a tone full of energy, and asked them straightforwardly:
“Hey! Kimura! Sumire!”
“Are you going to find my father for special training this time too?”
Purgatory and Shou Lang shouted, he stood there, Tie Qiao, Shang Quan Nai and Ji Guoyuan beside him, slowly stopped.
Hearing this, Kimura quickly turned his head, his expression became a little nervous, but his tone hesitated:
“Wait! No!”
“No, no… no…” He secretly glanced at Kamado Sumire, who was slowly walking towards her with a dark face, stepped back cautiously, and said slowly:
“The reminder given by Taro Beikai this time is to be on standby at the Sword Forging Village…”
“So, in the absence of other orders… we’d better stay here.”
After saying that, Kimura smiled guiltily at Kamado Sumire and scratched the back of his head.
Fortunately, Kamado Sumire just stared at Kimura for a while and didn’t say much.
“Ah! That’s right! I just saw some swordsmiths rushing over there.”
Kimura was so anxious that he quickly changed the topic and looked at Tie Qiao:
“Master Tieqiao, what did they do?”
When Tie Qiao, who was slowly controlling the puppet’s slow walking movements, heard this, he raised his head slightly, narrowed his hazy eyes, and looked in the direction Kimura was pointing.
After opening his mouth and thinking for a while, Tie Qiao gave his answer:
“Ah…them, they went to observe and learn.”
Tie Qiao’s voice, which had become a bit vicissitudes of life due to the decline in body functions, sounded:
“Today is a special day in the Knife Forging Village. Swordsmiths who are good at forging knives will be invited to demonstrate knife forging.”
“Or maybe it’s… the opening of the swordsmith’s hall is slow, and I don’t know the details.”
Before Tie Qiao could finish speaking, Kimura, who couldn’t bear the pressure from Sumire Kamado, shouted in a panic:
“Okay! Okay!” Cold sweat broke out on Kimura’s forehead. He looked closely at Kamado Sumire, who was resting her hand on the handle of the knife at her waist indifferently:
“It’s such an interesting day, let’s go and observe it!”
After he finished speaking, he immediately made a running gesture along the street:
“Don’t miss it!!”
“Hey! Boy!” Tie Qiao looked at Kimura running out and opened his eyes, which were narrowed because he was concentrating on debugging the machine.
He stretched out his hand and shouted in surprise:
“Run slower! Be careful! The ground ahead is full of broken mineral blocks!”
“No one should be cleaning up today!”
Tie Qiao’s words haven’t finished yet.
boom!
“Pfft!”
The sound of Kimura falling and screaming in pain could already be heard.
“It hurts…it hurts…”
In situ.
“Um……”
Everyone turned to look at each other.
Da da da!
He quickly ran in the direction of Kimura.
“Hey! Wait for me!” Tie Qiao was stunned. He turned his head and looked at the heavy doll, and hurriedly cracked the doll’s finger joints to slowly make the doll walk:
“Slower!”
Click, click, click…
…
…
At the central square of Blacksmith Village.
The square is not big, and there are only a dozen sets of simple tools for forging knives.
In the middle of the square, there is a statue.
Although there are some small holes in the statue that have been eaten away by wind and rain, the figures carved can still be clearly seen.
——It’s Shang Quannai.
This is exactly what Blacksmith Village carved many years ago, around the time when the village was first established.
There are probably dozens of such statues, distributed in the empty village sites used for relocation in various knife-forging villages.
At this time.
“call……”
tread! tread!
Some muscular, bare-chested swordsmiths wearing fire-man masks and holding hammers slowly walked to the middle of the square.
Their steps were heavy and they had many small tools hanging on their waists.
In front of the knifesmiths, there is a portable knife forging platform, as well as a stove and a stone pool.
Surrounding these knife makers are circles of people crowded together.
At this moment, seeing the masters appear, they became even more excited:
“Oh! It’s about to start! So excited!”
“Me too!”
“Yuta, look, father is there!”
“Where, where…”
“…Oh! I saw it! Father——!”
“Well, this problem has been bothering me for a long time… I just want to take this opportunity to try and see if I can solve it…”
“Oh, why weren’t you invited to give a demonstration this time?”
“…You don’t too.”
“…”
It was very lively here, and the noisy exclamations and conversations kept ringing in my ears. In comparison, the streets just now were almost empty.
Da da da!
Shang Quannai and his party slowly walked here.
“Hoo! Hoo!” Tie Qiao gasped. He supported the puppet, and after a quick switch of swordsmanship steps, he finally arrived here with the puppet.
“Oh – so lively!” Purgatory and Shou Lang looked around and exclaimed:
“So everyone has come to this place?”
“I have never been to a place like this before in Knife Forging Village!”
“Well, after all, the pillars were ordered not to run around.” Kamado Sumire waved her hand as a matter of course.
Kimura followed closely and looked around.
Then his eyes slowly stopped on the statue that attracted the most attention in the middle of the square.
–Um? This statue…?
He was stunned.
Then he observed the statue carefully.
The familiar face of the statue surprised Kimura. He frowned slightly and began to identify the statue’s identity.
I remembered!
The back of my head felt slightly cold.
–This is…!
——Mr. Kamiizumi!
Kimura saw the statue’s face clearly, his heart tightened, and then he turned his head sharply.
Uh-huh!
Look up! Look straight in the direction of Shang Quanna beside you!
He wanted to compare the details to determine whether the statue was Mr. Ueizumi!
But the moment Kimura saw Shang Quanna’s head.
He was stunned.
“Eh?”
Kimura screamed in surprise and his expression became stunned.
Kamado Sumire, Purgatory and Juro, who heard Kimura’s doubtful voice, all looked at Kimura.
Then he followed Kimura’s raised gaze and looked in the direction of Shang Quanna.
Subsequently.
Only then did everyone discover.
Shang Quannai, from who knows when, has put on the mask of a “fire man”! Hidden his appearance!
If you don’t identify your clothes carefully, you can easily be confused with other swordsmiths who also wear “Fire Man” masks!
Kimura’s expression gradually became dull.
Eh…why.
Why wear this mask… No, it’s not.
After wearing this mask, it’s impossible to tell whether that statue is Mr. Kamizumi!
Kimura suddenly realized, he woke up from the shock and looked at Shang Quannai with a blank expression.
“Um…?”
Seemingly noticing the gazes of the three people, Shang Quannai slowly turned his head, lowered his head slightly, and faced the three people with the fire man’s mask.
“call!”
A puff of air was exhaled from the slender outlet of the upward-facing mouth of the fire man’s mask.
“No, this is not right at all…” Kimura’s expression was completely confused.
Shang Quannai looked at the confused expressions of several people, and he was not surprised at all.
I had known before that there would be a statue of myself in this place.
To avoid troublesome things happening, it’s better to wear a mask.
Just as the three of them were sighing.
They didn’t notice it.
beside.
A group of swordsmiths have already gathered around.
To be precise, it was Tie Qiao who was surrounding several people.
At the same time, they also surrounded the puppet beside Tie Qiao.
As swordsmiths, they can accurately see at a glance just how sophisticated the technology this doll possesses.
Only Jiguo Yuanyi, who was standing with Tie Qiao, looked helpless at the looks coming from around him.
“Is this doll…this structure…can move autonomously…?!”
“I’m actually holding a Nichirin sword…the making of the sword…is perfect!”
“Wait! The internal structure of this doll! Come on!”
“Here on the neck! You can see it!”
“This reflection…this texture…”
“Who, who made this doll?”
“And these six knives!”
“Yes, that’s right! And a knife!”
Such exclamations came from time to time among the crowd gathered around.
“Tie Qiao…are you Master Tie Qiao?”
Among the crowd surrounding him, a swordsmith asked Tie Qiao cautiously.
Tie Qiao saw the crowd gradually filling up around him, and he thought it was just because there were more and more people that he was surrounded.
He didn’t notice that some people in the square were slowly moving towards this side.
Tie Qiao nodded towards the person who just asked:
“Yes, this is Tie Qiao.”
“What’s the matter, Your Excellency?”
Wow——!
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of words in the crowd.
“Tie Qiao? Is it Tie Qiao?”
“…Is it true? I haven’t seen Tie Qiao for several years…”
“In the past few years, only the village chief has seen him… After all, he was the one who forged the sword…”
Everyone was whispering.
After the man received Tie Qiao’s affirmation, his mood became obviously more excited. He cautiously tried:
“Then…then was this doll made by you, Master Tieqiao?”
At this time, Tie Qiao also realized that something was wrong. He frowned, pulled his puppet, and slowly took half a step back.
“So what.”
Wow——!
At this moment.
The swordsmiths who were originally planning to watch the swordsmiths forging swords have slowly moved closer to this side.
They raised their heads one after another, wanting to see something.
This caused the middle of the square to become much cooler for a while.
at this time.
In the middle of the crowd.
Because he had previously controlled the puppet to walk, Tie Qiao did not remove the key from the back of the puppet’s neck.
Snap!
I don’t know who it was, but I secretly reached out my hand and accidentally triggered the puppet’s counter-arrangement.
moment!
Click click click click!
Boom! boom!
The puppet straightened up suddenly, raised its six arms quickly, and stepped forward!
The entire doll suddenly moved with great tension!
It seemed that the next moment, the Nichirin Sword in his hand was about to strike violently at the surroundings!
All of a sudden! The faces of the swordsmiths who were getting closer slowly showed expressions of shock.
They subconsciously want to retreat!
