Chapter 219
Eight people, including Kiritani Zhantu, sat around a square table with tea and fruit on it.
Although Xuanya and Kanao were not pillars, they were the stepsons of the pillars and were very powerful, so they were allowed to sit at the same table with the pillars.
As a newcomer, Tanjiro sat in a corner, with Kanao on his left and Xuanya on his right.
Kanao was obviously a little absent-minded, naturally because her lover was here, and Xuanya was staring at his brother with some fear.
"Ahem!" Kiritani Zhantu cleared his throat, "Well, let's go into the orphanage according to the groups we were divided into before!"
"Does everyone have any other opinions?"
Kiritani Zhantu and Obanai were in a group, and Gyomei followed Tanjiro and the others to provide cover in the open, after all, he had experience dealing with orphans before.
Santo was in a group with the Fuzugawa brothers, and it was also Kiritani Zhantu's idea to put Shiya and Xuanya in the same group.
In addition to the group that provided cover on the ground, the remaining two groups would sneak into the orphanage at night.
Kiritani and his team had only one goal, which was to find the entrance to the underground. After all, the orphanage was not very big. If they wanted to mass-produce the lower strings, the factory must be built underground.
After the discussion, Tanjiro and the other two set off.
The rest of the people were sorting out the explosives prepared in advance. If the underground factory really existed, they would not mind uprooting it.
A breeze brushed across my cheeks, it was the breath of spring!
It was March, and the children's laughter was innocent.
Dong Dong Dong!
Tanjiro knocked on the door of the orphanage, and with a creak, a girl opened the door.
A flash of surprise flashed in Tanjiro's eyes, but it soon disappeared. The girl in front of him was the girl who always appeared when he and Kanao were monitoring.
The girl was wearing a light brown kimono, with her long black hair tied behind her head. She looked carefully at the person knocking on the door.
The girl's name is Sayo. As an orphan, she sympathizes with the children in the orphanage, so she visits the children almost every day.
After all, not every orphan is as lucky as her to meet kind-hearted adoptive parents.
Until she looked at Xingming Island, Sayo was stunned. The breeze blew the girl's black hair.
The breeze had no intention, but people had intentions.
A strong sense of guilt surged in her heart, and tears flashed in Sayo's eyes.
As for why the girl felt guilty, it started from the temple nine years ago.
It was a tragedy, a tragedy caused by the bastard Xingyue.
At that time, Xingmei was still a monk in the temple. He took in some helpless children and treated them as his own family, including four-year-old Sayo and young Xingyue.
Although life was hard, everyone lived very happily!
But things never go as planned. That day, Gyoyue not only violated the rule set by Gyomei that he could not return home at night, but also extinguished the wisteria incense that Gyomei had lit in the temple to save his life, and led the ghost into the temple.
Gyomei hoped that everyone would not panic and hide well, but the children went out to find weapons to protect the blind Gyomei, and were killed. Only Sayo survived.
Gyomei fought with the ghost to save Sayo and fought with him to the death. During the period, Gyomei smashed the ghost's head with his human body, and finally made it turn into dust and disappear after dawn.
When the police arrived, only the frightened little girl and the corpses were left.
The little girl pointed in horror in a direction, which was exactly where Gyomei was. In this way, he was mistaken for a murderer. If it weren't for Ubuyashiki Yoya to save him, he would have been executed long ago.
But Gyomei also left a knot in his heart and no longer believed in children.
But who can know?
The evil spirit and Xingming coexist in the same place. The girl actually pointed out the evil spirit that had been wiped out by the sun.
Unfortunately, the girl was frightened and did not explain clearly.
Afterwards, the girl has been living in guilt. She came to the orphanage to help, not only because she felt the same, but also because she remembered her savior.
However, who would have thought that the savior was not dead, but was standing in front of her.
Xingming was blind, and Sayo had grown up, so Xingming, who recognized people by their breath, did not recognize him.
"Excuse me, do you know Mr. Xingming?"
Tanjiro seemed to have seen some clues. After all, the girl had tears in her eyes since she saw Mr. Xingming, and the breath of guilt almost drowned Tanjiro.
"Recognize... I know!"
"Excuse me, are you Brother Xingming?"
Sayo was stunned for a long time, trembling with excitement.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Sayo!"
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I thought you had...had..."
Sayo was already crying, she didn't know how to face the person in front of her.
After all, because of her misunderstanding, her lifesaver was almost sentenced to death.
SayoGeneration? !
As the current big brother of the Demon Slayer Corps, the calm and steady brother Gyomei trembled slightly.
Since it was an old friend, it would be easy to deal with. Tanjiro and his friends approached the orphanage.
Tanjiro and Kanao went to find the director. After all, they came in the name of donation.
Since they were giving money, the director naturally entertained them with a smile.
As for Gyomei of Beiming Island, he was strolling in the courtyard with Sayo.
Kiritani Sento once fought with Gyomei, and the loser had to promise the winner one thing.
Obviously, Kiritani Sento won.
The request was that if Gyomei could meet an old friend, he hoped that he would listen to others.
That was all. Kiritani Sento could do. After all, his heart knot greatly hindered Gyomei of Beiming Island from moving towards the highest realm.
If he hadn't promised Kiritani Sento, Gyomei of Beiming Island wouldn't even want to pay attention to Sayo.
Tanjiro and Kanao were touring the entire orphanage under the guidance of the director. After all, the money was paid, so visiting such a small matter was not a big deal.
Tanjiro dealt with the director, while Kanao wrote and drew in a small notebook.
The Demon Slayers gave money sincerely to improve the life of the orphanage, and of course drawing the map was also true.
From the entire orphanage to the toilet in the orphanage, there was almost no place that Tanjiro and Kanao had not visited.
The soft sunlight fell along the swaying branches of the wisteria tree, forming a piece of scattered light and shadow on the ground.
It was Sayo who suggested planting wisteria. After all, she was a person who had experienced it, and she only figured out the existence of ghosts later.
The lavender petals fluttered in the wind, and the fallen petals were colorful. There was a faint fragrance in the chaos.
Two figures, one big and one small, stood quietly under the wisteria tree. Xingming looked so tall, as tall as two girls.
Finally, Sayo broke the silence between the two.
She asked softly, "Brother Xingming, have you been doing well these years?"
Sayo never dared to look into the other's eyes, not because the other was too powerful, but because of the guilt hidden deep in her heart.
