Wearing thick clothes and looking like a little dumpling, Tanjiro came to his mother obediently, and then sat down beside his mother like a little adult.
"This is my eldest son, Tanjiro Kamado, who is five years old this year. Juro and I have two other children, one is a girl named Nezuko Kamado, and the other is a boy named Takeo Kamado."
When Kamado Aoi introduced her children, her eyes sparkled with gentleness. To her, children were treasures.
"Mom, is this uncle a guest?"
"Yes, it's a guest. Tanjiro, please be nice and call me uncle."
Tanjiro said, "Hello, uncle."
"Tanjiro, good evening." Li Mo said.
"Mr. Li, do you need another bowl?"
"Thank you, but I'm full."
"Okay, I'll go pack a set of bedding later. I'll trouble you, Mr. Li, to rest in this room tonight."
Li Mo opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but the gentle woman in front of her stopped her: "It's getting late, let's rest first. If there is anything, we can talk about it tomorrow."
Later, Kamado Aoi brought a set of bedding and temporarily placed Li Mo in the hall. During the process, she felt a little guilty, as she felt that this behavior was rather rude.
The Kamado family are all good people.
At night, Li Mo was alone and thinking to himself.
Secondly... So Tanjiro is only five years old now? That child is so cute.
Gradually, Li Mo fell into a sleep due to tiredness.
Chapter 11 Story
The next day, Li Mo woke up early. He didn't sleep well in an unfamiliar place. When his body was almost recovered, he opened his eyes.
Then he saw the little boy standing nearby.
"Good morning, uncle."
"Good morning, Tanjiro. Excuse me, is the young lady next to you Nezuko?"
Li Mo's attention was focused on the little girl next to Tanjiro, who was about three or four years old. She was very cute and had completely inherited her mother's beauty.
She must be Nezuko Kamado.
"Hello, uncle. I'm Nezuko."
"Good morning, Nezuko."
During this time, Li Mo got up from his bed. Later, the two children led Li Mo to the place where water was boiled for bathing, and even prepared clean clothes.
Li Mo roughly understood what was going on. The two children's actions were all ordered by Aoi Kamado. Aoi Kamado accompanied Tanjuro out, apparently to deal with the corpse of the giant bear. The corpse of the black bear could be exchanged for a lot of money.
"Uncle, uncle, my father told me that you know the story about the sun wheel earrings, right?" Tanjiro Kamado asked.
Now, one big and three small children were all sitting on the eaves, and the youngest child, Takeo Kamado, who was only one or two years old, was in Li Mo's arms. Tanjiro and Nezuko were sitting next to him.
After taking a bath, Li Mo started telling stories to the three children.
At the beginning, the story of Snow White was told. I almost forgot it at the beginning, but the main plot of the story is that the queen is chasing the princess. As the story is told, the story becomes clearer.
——It’s just relatively simple.
"The story of the Sun Ring Earrings... that time period involves the Warring States Period. In that era, there were man-eating demons rampant, and humans were just their food. In order to deal with these monsters, the strongest swordsman since ancient times was born in this world."
……
The story of the so-called Sun Ring Earrings is the story of a swordsman named Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
He was born, started a family, forced the ghost king to flee, and met his brother who turned into a ghost on the verge of death. These stories were slowly told by Li Mo, and Nezuko and Tanjiro were listening carefully, especially Tanjiro, whose breathing became much slower and his expression was serious, for fear of missing a word.
His emotions also fluctuated with Li Mo's story. He was happy when the nameless swordsman got married. He was sad when the swordsman's family was destroyed. He was happy when the swordsman created the thirteen sword forms to defeat the ghost king, but when the ghost king blew himself up and escaped, the swordsman mourned his unfinished mission and became depressed again.
Then, in the old age of the swordsman, when he failed to kill his brother who turned into an evil spirit and died of old age, Tanjiro was obviously unhappy. Even Nezuko showed obvious unhappiness.
"Uncle, I don't like this story."
"why?"
"That swordsman died with a sad heart. I don't think that's good."
"Maybe. But Tanjiro, the story of the swordsman's life is over. But the story of the Sun Ring Earrings is not over. That is the story of the swordsman who was still young after letting the Demon King escape."
Li Mo began to tell the two children about the bond between Tsugumi Yuichi and Tanji's family. At this time, the youngest, Takeo Kamado, had fallen asleep in Li Mo's arms.
The warmth in the story made both children laugh.
I put this story last just to give it a good ending. If I told it in chronological order, the ending would be the death of Tsugumi Yoriichi, which would be too sad.
After the story was told, Li Mo seemed to have thought of something and told the two children, "Tanjiro, Nezuko. Keep this story in your heart and don't tell anyone."
"Why, uncle?" Tanjiro Kamado asked in a soft voice. He had broken away from the mood of the story.
Li Mo touched the little head of Zhu Xiong who had fallen asleep and said, "How should I tell you? About this story..."
After a lot of effort, Li Mo successfully got Tanjiro and Nezuko to keep the secret for him.
When I was telling the story, I hadn't noticed it yet. Li Mo was distracted by thinking about his own situation. He came here because of the broken system. Inferring from the game's thinking, the upgrade and point addition system is ready. Then there must be a copy for killing monsters and upgrading. Since it is a copy, you can exit the copy if certain conditions are met.
While thinking, Li Mo suddenly remembered that Muzan Kibutsuji was still alive. Given his personality, what would he do after knowing the story? Kill all the people involved. He had been avoiding him before the death of Yoriichi Tsugakuin, and killed almost all the people related to Hi no Breathing after Yoriichi Tsugakuin died.
That's a coward.
"Tanjiro, Nezuko, let's make a pinky promise."
"Okay~!"
"Hang yourself with a hook, and it won't change for a hundred years."
With Li Mo taking the lead, the two children said in their childish voices: "Pin it down and don't change it for a hundred years!"
Why two children? Because Takeo Kamado fell asleep before the story of Snow White was over.
……
……
Tanjuro Kamado and Aoi Kamado left home early to deal with the black bear's body. In winter, the black bear's body would not rot quickly. But it is always right to deal with it early.
"Finally, the work is done. It's time for Mr. Li to get up. There are still three children. I am really worried."
"Tanjiro will take care of it."
"I know, Juro, I'm just a little worried."
The black bear's body was processed. The two carried the processed black bear's body parts back home, and then saw the following scene at home.
Inside the courtyard of the Kamado family, an adult put the youngest child on his head and let him ride on him. The child held a fan with a bell in one hand and a rattle in the other. The other two children were trying to chase each other.
The garden is filled with laughter.
"Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Takeo all look very happy!" Aoi Kamado smiled.
"Yeah." Tanjuro also smiled faintly like his wife.
Zhenyang's pictures are pleasing to the eye.
Kamado Aoi said, "Juro, I think what you said is okay. That person is not a bad person."
How can someone who can play so happily with children be called a bad person?
After finishing the things they brought back, Tanjuro and Aoi prepared to go again. Because the black bear's body had not been moved yet. Li Mo volunteered at this time, "Please ask Miss Kamado to take care of the two children, I will go with you."
Aoi Kamado agreed with this argument.
Chapter 12 Stay
"How did you sleep last night?"
"I slept well, thank you."
"It's okay. Anyone else would do the same."
On the way to the destination, Li Mojian had the above conversation with Tanjuro. After a while, they fell into a long silence.
Taking advantage of this time, Li Mo began to sort out the situation. The things he brought from that world, the coat became tattered. But the other clothes were relatively intact. Secondly, I don't know where the lunch box went. Maybe in a few decades, experts will find on this mountain that there was a plastic lunch box in the Taisho era.
The most important thing is that the screen of the mobile phone is broken. But fortunately, it can still be used. In the morning, he had completely turned off the mobile phone. There is no place to charge his mobile phone in Taisho.
——He didn’t bring the charging cable.
"Mr. Li, you are Chinese, right?"
"Yes."
Still here? Routine identity questioning? Never mind, I'm ready.
Tanjuro asked, "Mr. Li, are you a student studying in Japan?"
"I guess so. I was in the past. I don't think so now. At least now I don't know where to go. I'm just a homeless person."
Li Mo was not lying. One day ago, he was still a high school student in Japan. It was just a school in another world.
Sometimes, a short message can be more convincing, but too much words will lead to failure.
Kamado Tanjuro said: "Don't worry, I'm not going to ask about your origins. If you have nowhere to go, you can stay in my humble abode."
“This is not good…”
He was new to this world and had no money to support himself, so it was really difficult for him to get the first sum of money.
But if he ate other people's rice... Li Mo's self-esteem felt like it was about to explode. The conflict between physical needs and spiritual needs made Li Mo uncomfortable.
Immediately, Li Mo said, "I'm sorry for showing you my cowardly side... I'll go to Tokyo later to have a look. There are actually many opportunities to make money in big cities."
If working doesn't work, I'll just go and rob other gangs. With my ability to withstand a beating, ordinary gangsters are really not as good as me.
I hadn't thought of that before. The industrial revolution had already begun in Japan during the Taisho era.
"Ahem~" Tanjuro Kamado listened to Li Mo's words, and in the cold wind, he coughed twice. "I want you to stay."
"Huh? Why?" Li Mo was surprised. "If you are doing this out of kindness, then please don't continue. I have hands and feet and I won't starve to death."
Tanjuro Kamado said: "That's not the case. Actually, my wife is pregnant. I am weak and need someone to help me at home. Tanjiro and the others like you very much, so please stay. Don't worry about food. There is enough food at home."
