Be a Human Again From Conan

  Chapter 73 Going home to change

   "Hey, these samurai are so weak, we knocked them down in one fell swoop, or is it that we are not stupid, and our parents are too strong?"

   "It's Uncle Ji Xing, not Dad."

   "Ah, I forgot again!"

  The voices of the two children echoed in his ears, Nozomi Aoki felt that he was having a nightmare.

what's the situation? It’s fine if the target is stronger than expected, but if you want to kidnap a child, why would you be kicked and sent flying several meters by a child who is less than waist height... Cough cough, it hurts so much!

   "Why did you come to Shi Posi so early?"

When Ji Xing squatted beside him and asked, he slowly pulled out an ugly flattering smile, showing nothing to hide: "Someone is offering a reward for you, and the reward is a full one hundred taels. I, we found out that you seem to be in Tianzhiguo Appeared, come to try your luck..."

   "Then your luck is really good." Ji Xing said, "Who is looking for me?"

   "I-I don't know about this, the news should have come from the Kingdom of the Ring, we only saw your portrait, and..."

   "Where is the portrait?"

  Qing Muwang pointed to one of the dead bodies on the ground, and Ji Xing walked over to search for them.

   Soon found the portrait.

   No wonder the seven people were still unsure when they saw him. They confirmed several times that this portrait was of him when he was a teenager.

  To be precise, it is Shi Po Sizao, who has just left home and is sixteen and a half years old. The portrait also specifically marked that this is what Shi Po Sizao looked like six and a half years ago!

   Ji Xing pondered for a moment, picked up the knife dropped by a wandering warrior, swung it with all his might, and knocked Aoki Nozomi, who took the opportunity to escape, to the ground.

   "Why was Shi Posizao offered a reward?"

   The currency of this era has not yet been unified, but gold and silver are hard currencies at any time, and the purchasing power of one hundred taels is already very high. Of course, it is far from the gold content of Asma's head.

  Wandering warriors do occasionally take on some murders to make a living. There is no gold exchange in this era, and the taverns are their bases.

  Ji Xing frowned slightly, and the two children ran to his side, Yu Yi asked, "Is Uncle Ji Xing worried about something?"

"Ah." Ji Xing replied: "Before I followed the goddess, that is, your mother, I also had a family and a home. In the past few years, I occasionally pay attention to the situation at home, and it has always been good. There is no plan to go back.

   But now...something seems wrong. "

   "Papa's family?"

   "It's Uncle Ji Xing's family."

   "Father...is he leaving us?" Hamura ignored Hagoromo, worried.

   "Why?" Ji Xing reached out and squeezed Yumura's face, and said with a smile, "I can't bear to part with you two and Goddess. It's just that I probably have to ask Goddess for half a month's leave, so I can go back and have a look."

   "Is that so..." Hamura breathed a sigh of relief, and said excitedly again: "Can't you take us there?"

  At this moment, a dark passage opened around Ji Xing, and Kaguya's figure floated out of it, making the two children exclaim in surprise:

   "Mom! You're back!"

   "Uncle Ji Xing said that there seems to be an accident at his house, and he will be away for half a month."

   "Let's go together, Mom!"

  Five years have passed, the baby has grown into a boy, and the boy has grown into a youth, but the years will not leave any traces on the immortal Kaguya.

   It's just that I have practiced physical skills with Ji Xing for too long, and I have rolled and kicked in the mud. The aloof goddess has a little bit of fireworks, and has a little human flavor.

  She looked at the surrounding environment, with two wide sleeves fluttering, and said, "Hold on to my clothes."

  The two children were taken aback for a moment, then laughed happily, and each of them grabbed Kaguya's sleeve.

   "Thank you, Goddess." Ji Xing said, holding Hui Ye's clothes from behind.

  Kaguya took the three of them into the dark passage, protected them with superb chakra control, walked through the passage for a few seconds, and when they left and saw the sun again, they had arrived at the mountain behind the mountain country.

   "Go, we'll wait for you here."

   "That's Dad's country?" Hamura looked into the distance and said, "Mom, don't we go together?"

   "It's Uncle Ji Xing, not Dad!"

  Hui Ye didn't answer, so Ji Xing thanked him again, looked at the country of mountains, and quickly went down the mountain.

   After he walked away, Kaguya said softly: "This desolate and small world is always in endless wars, full of all kinds of conspiracies and battles, it is really tiresome and boring."

  …

   At this time, it has been six and a half years since Ji Xing left home.

  In order to know the situation at home, he and Kaguya and the others have lived in a country two or three hundred kilometers away from the country of mountains at the farthest these years, and they can learn about it through some wandering warriors and merchants.

  As early as four years ago, when Shi Po Gangzhong turned 40, he stepped down from his daimyo position and handed over the power to Ji Xing's second brother Shi Po Sizhi.

  The second brother did a good job. He is not only good at fighting and killing like his father. He is also an internal affairs talent. After a few years, the country of mountains has absorbed many refugees, and the size of the country has expanded by more than half.

  It has grown from more than 300 people to more than 500 people.

  A thriving scene.

  After Ji Xing came down from the mountain, he also saw a peaceful environment and farmers working in an orderly manner.

   Someone noticed him, looked down and plowed the field, and soon looked up suspiciously, exclaimed: "Yes, is it Your Highness Sizao?!"

  Ji Xing recalled it for a while, and said with a smile, "Uncle Pingtou, long time no see."

   "It's really His Highness Sizao?!"

   "His Royal Highness is back!"

  Knowing that his cheers continued to the Daming Mansion, the current daimyo Ishiba Miji greeted him with a face full of surprises, calling out: "Haha!"

   "Brother, I'm back."

"Hahaha…"

  The two brothers hugged each other heavily, Shi Po Sizhi led Ji Xing to the mansion, and at the same time spit out a series of joyful and complaining words.

   "Really, I still know you're coming back. It's already been six years since you left. You are taller than your brother."

   "Where have you been all these years? Have you encountered any danger? By the way, I heard that a few years ago, a swordsman named Ji Xing appeared. The description is very similar to you. Is it you?"

  Seeing Ji Xing nodded, he laughed and said, "As expected of you, you were able to defeat your father at the age of 16, and your father said at that time that you would definitely become a swordsman.

   But then I heard... this swordsman Ji Xing followed a goddess? There are too many rumors about a goddess, who fell from the sky, and it sounds absurd.

  Are you... married? The wife is called a goddess? It must be extremely beautiful, I don’t know how to bring my wife back and let my father and I have a look! "

  Ji Xing only smiled, followed him into the main hall of Daming Mansion, and asked, "Where's father?"

Shi Posizhi shook his head: "What a coincidence, my father has gone out. Recently, a prince from the Kingdom of the Ring wanted to marry Fei Hua, and my father was worried, so he wanted to go and see for himself, and that girl Fei Hua followed secretly. It's not reassuring."

  How old is Hika...oh, 13 years old.

  In this era, it is normal for girls to get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen. After all, the average life expectancy of a person is less than 30 years old. Ji Xing has no intention of changing this rule, but at least his younger sister...

   It is best to live at home carefree until the age of 16 or 18, right?

   But... the Kingdom of the Ring?

   Frowning slightly, Ji Xing didn't say anything, and asked again: "What about the second sister-in-law?"

Shi Po Sizhi led him to sit down, and said with a bigger smile, "You mean Mizi? She just gave birth to a son for me, and she is still recuperating quietly. By the way, do you have any children, Sizao? Second brother has both children now." , the eldest daughter is almost four years old."

As he said that, he said with a guilty conscience: "However...Mizi has had some conflicts with me recently, you can understand, Sizao, I am now a daimyo of the mountain country, and it is normal to have two concubines. I'm not like my father...

  Hehe, she will be very happy to hear that you are back, can you persuade her for me? "

   "I can't control that." Ji Xing laughed.

Shi Posizhi laughed loudly, and after a while, he stretched out his hand to summon a servant, and said, "Go and tell Miko, just say...just say that the sword hero Ji Xing is back, haha. Then bring Yuori over and tell her about her sword hero Uncle is back!"

   "Did Ishi break Haori?" Ji Xing asked.

   "Ah, the boy's name is Ishihaha Takashi." Ishiba Miji replied.

   "What a coincidence, they are all Yu."

   "What?" Shi Posizhi was stunned for a moment, his attention seemed to be attracted by the knife at Ji Xing's waist again: "Isn't this the samurai sword you took with you when you left home?"

   "That knife was broken a long time ago. I made it at a swordsmith in a big country." Ji Xing said.

   "Well, come on, let me see Jianhao's sword." Shi Posizhi stretched out his hand, and Ji Xing handed the sword.

  Clang—Knife out of its sheath!

  Shi Posizhi caressed the blade and said with emotion: "A good sword, a good sword..."

  The happy mood slowly changed, and Shi Po Sizhi showed a trace of sadness on his face. After playing for half a minute, he put the knife back into its sheath, but instead of returning it to Ji Xing, he threw it to the servants.

  The servant took a knife, stepped back a few steps, and stared at Ji Xing with a vigilant look.

Ji Xing was silent for a moment, and sighed: "As early as the first time I saw you, I found that your expression was a little unnatural, but I only regarded it as unfamiliar after being separated for too long. Even now, I don't want to believe it. The one who offered me a reward turned out to be you, brother..."
