Kusuriya no Hitorigoto

IX. Dancing Water Preliminary

"Shake it, it's not over yet?

Sitting on the stump, he let his legs hang out and Zhao Too (Cho) said.

(That's why I didn't like it)

I'm bored with hungry ghosts. I'm glad I brought you here, but it's visible to me that you'll be luggage. The woman must have taken Zhao Too because she wanted to clean up the evil ghosts that stand in the way of the men's work. What do you miss?

The cat and cat ignore Zhao Too's novel and mow the grass grown at the root of the tree. I only want to use the young bud part, but sorting is later.

"Nah, no kidding."

"Shut up. You're the one who followed me."

said the cat and cat, clutching herbs to the hemp bag.

Zhao Too puts his hands between his crotches and looks at the cat and cat dissatisfied.

"'Cause I'm tired."

I haven't walked much distance, but scaffolding is bad due to grass and falling leaves. I know it's tiring for Zhao Tuo, who still has paralysis in his body. I guess there's nothing I can do about this. That's not why I'm a spoiling cat.

"Then wait there. Because I'm still going in the back."

"Uh."

Zhao Too opens his mouth and gives the cat and cat something to say.

"You're leaving me!

"You're tired, aren't you? Wait."

Zhao Too rose from the top of the stock as he distorted his face all the way. There is a sarcastic side, as the woman says. They are also often generally at the men's or girls' place when they are in the flower district.

"Go! Go, don't leave me!

Zhao Too followed behind the cat and cat as he brought his feet. The cat and cat looked at Zhao Too with a cold gaze and proceeded to the back of the woods.

There were all kinds of trees growing in the forest. There will be a lot of fruit in the fall due to the large number of broadleaf forests. With coniferous forests, it seems that the north is more suitable for wood but has such forests and forests in this country.

Cats and cats carry to their mouths on the way, when they find a wooden clam. Zhao Tuo likes to imitate and eat, but his mouth becomes red and sticky.

"This is sour."

'Cause you're starting to live.'

That's what I'm saying, but I'm not stopping you from pinching the wood.

"Soba! Can you eat this mushroom?

Zhao Too found a small mushroom on a dead tree and said:

(That's unusual)

I thought it was a mushroom a little further south, but the cat and cat pinched the little mushroom wondering if it was growing to this point.

"Can you eat it?

"Unfortunately, it's not delicious. And no poison."

I mean, it was a substitute for not being interested in cats and cats.

Too bad Zhao Too drops his shoulder.

Along the way, I saw the lake as I found Ganoderma and proceeded with joy. Originally, it seems that this forest was also a large forest surrounding the lake, but it began to make fields and became smaller with a number of scattered forests.

The remainder of the forest that was laid is adjacent to a different village. Instead, they may have deliberately divided the villages when they could.

Cats and cats head to the lake, as some plants grow only in watering. At the center of the lake, you can see an island. The boundary between the forest and the lake is strewn like an enclosure. The water field has long been said to be a gateway to different worlds. Is that why there is a small temple on the small island of the lake? I have heard that the Lord of the Lake is there and that is the incarnation of the Python (Wobbami). I guess that's where you come from not killing snakes.

And there's a cabin by the lake to manage it.

The cat and cat head to the cabin.

The cabin is high floor style. When it rains heavily, the water level of the lake seems to rise to this cabin, and that's why. The columns of the cabin are followed by how far the water has come.

Zhao Too looks amused after the water level. The cat and cat went up the stairs and peered inside the cabin.

You noticed the sight of a cat and cat, and a furry grandfather came out of the back.

"I haven't seen it in the last few years, so I thought I'd gone to my wife."

"Too bad I'm late."

"There seems to be a big child for it."

Cat and cat thought he was still a mouthless grandfather. He seems to be an old acquaintance of his adoptive father, Luo Men, who used to be a doctor in the capital. He had good arms, but now he's hiding and living in such a despicable place because he hates humans because of his bigoted personality.

Now I do it fine while picking the herbs. The shrine keeper, but they don't make a big deal of it in the end. There are no boats in the lake, nor do they seem to go to the temple.

"Look, if you're here, take it."

Grandpa arranges the herbs that were dried on the wall on a crude long table. It is quicker to buy medicinal herbs that are not in this season or rare medicinal herbs from this grandfather.

When cats and cats enter the cabin, they deserve the herb.

Grandpa fronted when he sat in the chair, "Come on," he said. I am over ten years older than Luo Meng so I don't know when I will screw up.

Between not seeing each other for three years, it appears that aging has progressed even further.

However, the herbs are properly and carefully dried and not of poor quality. And I thought the quantity was well collected for old age.

"I'm relieved you're not busy, but you've been gathered so well."

"You still have a bad mouth when you're late."

To the words against cats and cats, it was Zhao Too who laughed. Cat and cat stare at Zhao Too half-eyed, putting the necessary herbs on the cloth wrap.

"What? I've been helping lately."

"I'm not helping. You're a village kid? It's all right."

Cat and cat looked deliberately at Zhao Too. Zhao Too pointed his lips when he said, "What the hell?"

"No. The one I picked up in the capital during this time. He's a pretty good guy, you see, if you rumor..."

With that said, I heard a sound going up the stairs.

"J-chan. I picked what you said. Is that a customer?

He's kind of a bright voice on the sounding bottom.

It was a young man with an eyelid in a towel who came swinging a large cloth bag.

(Sounds familiar)

There he was, a man who was supposed to be looking for a job in the capital for grams (cocktails) and after a blister on his face.

"No, so hey. I don't need a doctor with such a creepy face."

The man for grams once again spoke to me in a voice that didn't make me feel that way about my mistreatment at all.

The chatty man talked to cats and cats when he noticed them. Grandpa said, "Do you know him?" And Zhao Too told me, "You know a lot of strange people."

Simply put, this man went around the clinic trying to get a doctor in the capital. And every time he asked me about the reason for the eyelid, Moga honestly said he showed those marks. The unknowledgeable doctor threw him out saying never to come again because he was sick. Even a knowledgeable doctor knew he wouldn't be infected anymore, but it's a business, albeit a doctor. There is no reason to easily hire a dubious man with an eyelid.

In the meantime, this grandfather, who came to whip and deliver the medicinal herbs he had ordered, said he had picked them up. She just ran into a scene where she was kicked out of the clinic.

I hate humans, but my arm is definitely a doctor. He said he wanted just the right help because he's also a tough age to move around. Sometimes I ask him about his knowledge as a doctor, and he says he's here because he was more decent than I thought. If it's such a despicable place, it's not as noisy as the capital, he explains to the village chief.

"Ha. It's intelligent. For now, we can eat, okay?"

This is what it looks like for Gram, and Grandpa can use it nicely. He doesn't seem to be dissatisfied with either.

(Should I have called you this way)

I thought the cat and cat had done something a little unwieldy, but now it is. If I had brought him here, maybe this one would have been better for Gram because he was going to be used by his adoptive father, Luo Men-like, by his doer wife.

Arrange the newly picked herbs for grams.

"Taken and fresh."

Zhao Too peered in from below to the smiling young man. Turn your dumb chestnut-like face for grams and reach out.

"Hey, what's going on under these eyelids?

"Oh, you see?

It's disgusting, I took my eyelids off, with a forethought. Zhao Too, "Wow," he shouted rudely, slapping on his shoulder for Pompunk.

"I don't like it when you're there. I don't want to do business with you."

"Right. I just don't think love is bad."

Cats and cats ignore those lazy two and start taking medicinal herbs for a price. I look at the big leaves I've never seen and narrow my eyes.

"What is this?

Cigarette leaves.

I said to Zhao Too for grass.

Cigarettes, flue pipes are commonly used by dowry wives and girls, but surprisingly are not popular among ordinary people. Sometimes cats and cats tried to repair broken flue pipes before and deliver them to their original owners, because they thought that was all that mattered.

Flue leaves are a hobby. The reason why a nasty woman sucks is because she's dependent on it. The prostitutes wouldn't be able to smoke it if the handyman hadn't smoked it either. My adoptive father Luo Meng also said that too much smoking is not good for his health.

As far as cats and cats know, leaves often use the migratory ones. I've only seen dry and crushed things, so I didn't know.

"Cultivation itself isn't that hard"

It was Grandpa who put his mouth out of the side.

"Really?"

Cats and cats observe leaves with interest. I thought growing this in the garden would be a good business. But will you give me the seeds I want so easily?

At best, it would be enough to have the leaves split, but I also wonder if it would be cheap to buy and deeply root out the smoke pipe habits for the prostitutes.

For once, I'll just talk to you.

"How much do you sell this for?

"This is not for sale."

When Grandpa held the cigarette leaves, he bundled them into several pieces and hung them underneath the house.

(Self-consumption?

But there's nothing like a smoking tool in this house, and I've never seen it smoke.

To answer the cat and cat question, Grandpa lifted the kettle he had placed on the floor and placed it on the long table. When I took the lid, it smelled unique.

"Grandpa, this stinks!

Zhao Too pinches his nose deliberately. Peek in with a pinch.

"It's not a drink, is it?

There was brown liquid inside.

"Don't drink it by mistake. You're going to die. I put cigarette leaves on it."

"Yeah, why would you do that again?"

I sat down on the crate that I had on Zhao's detour floor and said:

"Use it to avoid snakes."

The cat and cat punched their hands in the pom.

Tobacco leaves are poisonous when eaten. And I knew the poison would work for bugs, too. The cat and cat were the first to know about it, wondering if it was also in snakes. Bugs are all about catching snakes anyway, and I never thought about avoiding them.

"I can't believe you didn't kill a snake. I'm just kidding. I'm worried it's gonna be tough for me to take care of myself."

Grandpa tells him to throw up and prepare the tea with a smile for grams. Zhao Too's eyes glow when he sees the bun coming out of the cupboard.

"I haven't really cared about the shrine in decades. Now even if they say the use of the Snake God has appeared."

"Haha. It sucks like a curser or something."

For once, I agree with you in a bright voice whether you have personal complaints or not.

As a cat and cat, I had a little wonder. I wonder how many villagers are so reluctant to kill snakes, albeit the will of the village chief how long ago? Was it because this one originally believed in the Serpent God?

"The curser, is he that persuasive?

When I casually listened and saw, Grandpa looked like he was laughing with his nose.

"Ha, that's it. It's like the faithful have been transformed."

"Impersonated?

The fox would have been turned into a snake anyway.

(It's enough fox to be turned into)

As the cat and cat were tilting their necks, the window of the cabin opened for grams. I can see the lake and the shrine.

Grandpa looks out and strokes his toy beard.

"I didn't see Noon in person. According to the story, the curser..."

He said he floated on the water of the lake and danced on it to the temple.

"I said it was the Lord's use of the lake"

That was it.
