Temple Girl
Chapter 21 Uncertainty

That afternoon after Gin laid down the old body, Chiharu immediately entered the room. Holding the pulse of the old mother's wrist, close the eyes and concentrate to check the condition of the patient in front of him. Hopefully the medical science he has been doing for many years will be of any use, Chiharu got up from her seat. The girl went to the kitchen and started looking for the plants she needed.

Thankful that the collection is so complete that Chiharu will not have to look for any more plants to use, "Gin, prepare the combustion furnace!" chiharu's word, so serious that in an instant someone might recognize it.

Once the combustion furnace was ready, Chiharu immediately cooked the medicinal tampering he found. Grinding, stirring, until in the end the green concentrated liquid he had managed to create.

Striking the remnants of his sweat Chiharu finished his last potion and then ready to be drunk, rushing to almost hit Gin who was watching the girl in silence. Getting rid of her body and letting Chiharu pass by without saying anything, the girl swiftly immediately gave the old lady some medicine.

When it managed to swallow well without regurgitating Chiharu can breathe a sigh of relief, the mother was after taking her medicine she fell asleep soundly without being disturbed. It was as if the previous pain had evaporated and disappeared, so undisturbed, calm, and comfortable.

Chiharu walked out of the room, directly meeting the boy who was now waiting for her. He looked at her with a worried look, waiting for news of his mother inside. The girl replied with the most beautiful smile, gently rubbing the boy in front of her.

"Don't worry, your mom's fine now. Some days he'll be back to health, what's your name?" tanya Chiharu tried to ease the worry of the boy there.

The boy lowered his head, "My name is Jing, miss." twisted his hand, his face feeling guilty as the boy's memory returned to the scene just now.

With a gentle gesture Chiharu led the boy to sit down, before her there was a wide variety of dishes available to satisfy Jing. "Eat, you must be hungry." Chiharu spoke softly while watching Jing's movements.

Then timidly the boy began to take the rice and side dishes, devouring them with no regard for anything. When his stomach was fully filled, he drank it greedily. Satisfaction and a face of satiety were imprinted on the boy's face, enjoying every second of satiety for not feeling it for a long time.

"I want to ask you something." said Chiharu, putting on a serious face again, until the boy in front of him also straightened his shoulders. Seriously forced by circumstances.

"Do you know about human trafficking? Any rumor didn't matter." the girl propped up her chin with one hand, her gaze flashed with a sense of curiosity.

Jing thought for a moment with his little head, he twisted his fingers—it seemed to become a habit when he was nervous. He looked at Chiharu timidly and then nodded his head, a sign that he knew.

"Tell me!" chiharu's enthusiasm is rising.

The boy seemed to think, where to start. He took a breath, then set his eyes on the eyeball as closely as that night "There were some rumors spread among the tramps, and there were some rumors, one of the most popular is that some people with nice clothes come every night.

Taking out the tramps that are still useful and then being sold to a human trafficking site, but it seems like it is not just a rumor. Because I, ever see it for myself." Chiharu cheered in her heart when she discovered this very unexpected information.

"Some people in nice clothes actually came over, talking about something I didn't understand. Then leave in a hurry, even if no one is kidnapped but I'm sure the rumors are true." Jing finished the story, suddenly feeling afraid because he realized that he could be included in the kidnapping victim.

But what is he. Just a little tramp scavenging for food in the trash can, let alone expecting food a comfortable place to fall asleep was not owned by the little boy.

Jing shook his head not knowing how to answer Chiharu's question, but a thought went wrong "perhaps if you pretend to be a vagabond, those people will come again." Crazy thoughts indeed, maybe, it was just that Chiharu did not reject that crazy idea.

He slightly glanced at Gin who was now looking at him full of disdain that was not covered up, making Chiharu wrinkle his face disliking. It was a bit exaggerated when he disguised himself as a vagabond to lure the human traffickers, but it was not a good enough idea to find the root of all these problems.

"Don't you feel that this is overkill?!" lamented Gin behind Chiharu, the man was inevitably dragged into this matter. Pecked bitterly, due to Chiharu's really dirty appearance.

The girl gave a bad laugh when the demon complained, ignoring the chattering of Gin the girl incised charcoal on her face. "Hows it? I look like a bum, don't I?!" reveal the girl proudly.

The man sighed as Chiharu looked increasingly ugly in tattered clothes, the usually soft black mane looked disheveled, a black face full of charcoal. Really no one will recognize that girl now, Chiharu is really ugly. Gin's complaint is.

"How can I find you when you've been kidnapped?" straddling his chest, Gin questions Chiharu's plan. Didn't think that this girl did not perform the blessing as she said, but rather solved the case of human trafficking.

Is not whatever the girl is doing now, everything feels in vain. Poverty, crime, and misery will always exist in any part of the world. Like parasites that continue to gnaw the world, those ugly things will never disappear no matter how cheap the country is. Then why did the girl bother and trouble herself, trusting the words of the boy she had just met.

Gin rubbed his face rough. Never mind, let the girl do whatever she likes. Because whatever fate befell Chiharu has absolutely nothing to do with her, or even when Chiharu died in her own stupidity. Gin did not lose anything, instead he would more quickly obtain his freedom.

"Look at your little finger!" chiharu's voice managed to disperse the man's daydream, obeying the girl's words by looking at her fingers.

The yellow rays curled there, forming a long rope that extended towards Chiharu. "That's a god seal, just follow it and you'll find me. Find me, when the rope gets further. When the rope turns red, it means I'm in danger.

I don't believe you, but I still hope you'll save me. Take care of the temple after I leave, and don't forget to give the mother some medicine." said Chiharu, put her foot out and left.

The girl stepped foot into the slum, hoping that this plan that had many flaws would yield results. Chiharu will be there until morning, then in the morning he will go home to fill the stomach and clean himself and return to the slums. A very stupid plan indeed, but he could not think of anything more.

The girl wandered around the city in those tattered clothes, combing the gaze when many people glanced at her a little then without caring about herself left ruthlessly. Making Chiharu think, how important is a good outfit or how important is a status in society.

After arriving at those dark, seedy alleys, night was almost here. The girl was waiting for some uncertainty in her life, fondling to give up on the stupid plan, but still trying to be confident.

Until one fact that Chiharu did not know, that he had indeed been in the hunt since entering the city and walking up to the alleys. Without Chiharu knowing, that he will soon meet the kidnapper.
