"Where is her second son?"

"The second son... seems to be working as a slave in the house of a certain Numata master.

We saw him before..."

"Huh?" Su Wu heard the answers from the people around him. He stopped, looked at the man with small eyes who was talking, and asked him, "Have you seen the second son of the Tsuichiro family before?"

"...Yes..." The small-eyed man suddenly became frightened under Su Wu's gaze, but he did not dare to lie, so he told Su Wu the situation at that time, "Yongjiro came here with you, he

We were following a samurai-sama, but we didn’t dare to talk to him at the time, for fear of being scolded by the adults - we had heard Mrs. Tsuichiro mention before that her son worked as a domestic servant at the samurai-sama’s house in Numata and worked every day.

I can eat very full..."

"The only servant among the people traveling with us is the groom." Hong Renkun said at this time, "No wonder I saw that he looked uneasy at the time. I guess he knew something was going on at home.

Things are happening, so I can’t sit still.”

"Let's find him here too." Su Wu nodded and said.

Hong Renkun said 'hmm': "I'll just go find him."

After speaking, the square-faced middle-aged man disappeared directly on the spot. Many islanders present were not surprised when they saw this scene - when Hong Renkun disappeared, the idea of ​​'Hong Renkun disappeared' also disappeared from their minds.

Su Wu then raised his eyes and looked at the thatched house in front of him.

Outside the house, a wooden wall was woven with sticks and vines. There was a young man standing inside the fence holding a rough pottery bowl, looking up at Su Wu.

Not far outside the fence, there is a well.

The villagers should get their daily drinking water from this well.

Surrounded by everyone, Su Wu stepped into the fence, and an even stronger rotten stench lingered in the muddy courtyard.

Su Wu saw that the ray of cause and effect that he intercepted was traveling towards the only thatched house in the courtyard.

He followed the thread of cause and effect into the thatched house. When he passed by the young man, he glanced at the water bowl he was holding.

The water bowl was filled with turbid fish soup, still steaming out.

In the room, a woman with a dirty face was lying on a wooden bed. She was shouting towards the door: "Water - water -"

At this time, Su Wu stepped into the house, his figure blocking the sunlight coming in from outside.

When the old woman on the bed saw his figure, she suddenly stopped shouting and slowly turned her head to face the wall.

The smell of feces and putrefaction mixed together and flowed here.

The thread of cause and effect from the witch's body is now wrapped around the old woman on the bed.

The rest of the people followed him into the house, and they all frowned under the impact of the filthy stench in the house.

"Fish soup... fish soup..."
