Death's Slash

Chapter 5 The feeling of home
Xue Xin stood up, followed Jin Yan to the back of the hall, walked through the long corridor, and entered the yard.

The yard is very large and there are many trees planted. It is spring now and most of the trees are beginning to glow with life.

In the center of the yard, there is also a pair of water refills, which is an essential item in many Japanese gardens. A wooden barrel continuously catches water, and when it is full, it pours out with a crackling sound.

Go along the corridor and come to the back of the yard. There is another row of houses here, which are very close to the back mountain.

Coming to a door, Jin Yan opened the door, Xue Xin saw the scene inside the room.

The room is not very big, not as big as my own in Fengjia, it is about the same size as my university dormitory, the floor is covered with warm tatami mats, and the whole room is spotless, with a coffee table and a bed.

Jin Yan said: "Boy, you will live here from now on, next door is Master Konghe's house, you have to be careful, don't make any noise that will affect Master Konghe."

"I remember."

Xue Xin said seriously, when boarding in someone else's house, naturally you have to abide by the rules and don't affect others.

"Then you stay in the house first, and I will call you at dinner in the evening."

Jin Yan said, slowly exited the room and closed the door.

Xue Xin stayed in the room alone, sitting on the tatami, looking around.

This is where I will live in the future.

. . .

In the evening soon, Xuexin was called out of the room by Jin Yan to eat. In the front hall, there was a stove on the dining table with a casserole stewing on it. There were eggs, radishes, potatoes, seaweed and so on in the casserole.

It is oden.

Seeing the steaming food, Xue Xin's appetite was whetted. He has eaten oden many times, and he likes the taste of oden very much.

Shiba Kuzuru sat on one side of the table, Jin Yan and Yin Yan sat opposite Shiba Kuzuru and on the left hand side respectively, and on Shiba Kuzuru's right hand, sat a boy.

The boy was about 12 years old, short in stature, ugly in appearance, wearing a green vest and a triangular scarf on his head.

Appearing at Shiba's house, and thinking about the time, this boy should be Shiba Kuzuru's younger brother, Shiba Ganju.

"You sit with the griffon."

Zhiba Konghe said to Xue Xin.

"Yes."

Xuexin walked up to Ganjiu, Ganjiu moved his butt to the right to make room.

Xuexin was sitting next to Shiba Ganju and Ginhiko, just as he sat down, he felt eyes staring at him, turned his head, and found Shiba Ganju's hands crossed his chest, staring at him firmly.

"Hi, my name is Xuexin."

Xue Xin took the initiative to say hello.

Zhiba Yanju snorted, and turned his head directly, not looking at Xuexin.

Seeing this scene, Xue Xin was a little confused. He didn't know why he was so hostile to him, but he didn't have the same knowledge as a child, so he didn't say anything.

But the next moment, with a slap, a hand slapped Shiba Gansu on the head.

"why did you hit me?"

Shiba Kanju looked at Shiba Kuzuru with tears in his eyes.

Shiba Kuzuru said angrily: "When I greet you, respond well."

Hearing this, Zhiba Yanju looked at Xuexin with some hostility, and said, "My name is Ganju, but you have to remember, I won't call you brother."

Call me brother?

Xue Xin was a little puzzled, what are you calling my brother for.

Seeing Xuexin's appearance, Zhiba Konghe said: "From today onwards, you are a member of our Zhiba family. I, Ganju and my elder brother are ranked third according to your age, so Ganju wants to call you elder brother."

"I see."

Xuexin nodded, but then asked in surprise: "Wait, am I not Miss Konghe's assistant? How did I become a member of the Zhibo family?"

Shiba Kuzuru took it for granted and said, "You can still be my assistant if you join the Shiba family."

"No, that's not the point."

Xue Xin said quickly: "I mean, why should I join the Zhibo family?"

Zhiba Konghe asked angrily: "What? You despise us?"

"No."

Xue Xin thought for a while, and then said: "Sister Konghe, why do you treat me as a family member? We just met for the first time, right?"

Yukinobu thought that he entered Shiba's house just to be Shiba Kuzuru's assistant, but who knows, he became a member of the Shiba family.

Shiba Kuzuru said softly, "Because this is what Yoichi asked for."

"Senior Yeyi asked you to take me in and let me join the Shiba family."

Xue Xin asked curiously.

Zhiba Konghe shook his head and said: "Yeyi said in the letter that your family members were her loyal subordinates and died fighting for her. And you were kicked out of the house because of her. To her, you are like his Brother. So I hope we can take you in. Since you are so important to Ye Yi, I will make you a member of the Shiba family."

"So it is."

Xue Xin suddenly realized that because Ye Yi said in the letter that he was her younger brother, he was accepted as a member of Zhibo's family.

The reason why Ye Yi did this was because his father, brother, and clansmen sacrificed their lives for her.

I chose to leave by myself, but in the end I still took on the karma of the bee family.

This made Xue Xin a little uncomfortable.

"But you don't know me, what if I'm a bad person?" Xue Xin said in a low voice.

"I believe in Yeyi."

Shiba Kuzuru just said these five words lightly.

Shiba Kuzuru and Yeichi are very good friends. In the future, Yoichi asked Kuzuru to help him enter Seireitei. She offered help without saying a word, and asked Shiba Ganju to follow him.And the object of help, Kurosaki Ichigo is still the God of Death she hates the most.

Because Yoichi thinks Yukino is important, Shiba Kuzuru intends to make him a member of Shiba's family.

When Xue Xin learned of this incident, he admired the friendship between the two very much.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's eat."

Zhibo Konghe picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish tofu, put it in the bowl in front of Xuexin, and said, "Hurry up and eat."

"Thank you."

Xue Xin said in a low voice, stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the fish tofu, put it directly in his mouth, it felt hot immediately, so he had to take a big breath and fan his mouth with his hands at the same time.

Seeing this scene, Shiba Kuzuru said angrily: "Be careful, don't be so anxious."

"Yes."

Xue Xin waited for the fish tofu to cool slightly, and then bit into it lightly, only to feel that it was full of elasticity, more elastic than ordinary tofu.

Fish tofu has both the deliciousness of fish and the mellow taste of tofu. It is very delicious when mixed together.

After Xue Xin crushed the fish tofu and swallowed it, the fish tofu turned into billowing aura in the body, which scattered in all directions, making Xue Xin feel very comfortable.

In the world of corpses and souls, all food and water are composed of spirit particles, and the density of spirit particles in water is naturally not as high as that of food.A soul without spiritual power only needs to drink water to make up for the consumption of the body.

However, people with spiritual quality consume their spiritual power extremely quickly, and they will feel hungry and need to eat to replenish the spiritual power in their bodies.

Moreover, eating food can also enhance the spiritual power of the eater.

Just like Hikifune Kiryu in the future, the delicacies he makes can help Kuchiki Rukia, Asai Renji and Kuchiki Byakuya's spiritual powers increase to a higher level.

Of course, Hikifune Kiryu pours his own spiritual power into the food when making food. Every time he makes a big meal, his body will become thinner, and it is not possible to make unlimited food.

Shiba Yukinobu was eating delicious food, surrounded by Kuzuru, Ganju, and Kanehiko Ginhiko.

Five people sat around the table, Jin Yan and Yin Yan were tall, making the small square table a bit crowded, but with the steaming oden cooking, it was very lively.

But in Feng's house, the dark environment, depressing atmosphere, everyone eats alone, either rice balls or rice, and assassination training and stealth training.

Compared with the two, this place is more like a home.

Zhiba Xuexin felt that this kind of life was what he yearned for.
