Simultaneous time travel: But our system is out of sync!

Chapter 10 Another Day of Mending and Patching

"Lin Bei, is this really okay?"

In the wooden house on the mountain, Tanjiro was holding a simple needle and thread in one hand, looking as if his worldview had been reshaped.

After all, what kind of good person would casually put their arm back and forth like they're taking apart building blocks?

Tanjiro hadn't expected that what Lin Bei meant by "stitching the arm back together" would actually be taking the arm that Tomioka Giyuu had deliberately misplaced and then sewing it back on with needle and thread.

Lin Bei rolled his eyes at Tanjiro's timid and hesitant appearance.

"You're so fussy, just like a woman."

"If you really can't do it, then let Mi Douzi do it."

Seeing Nezuko drooling and nodding vigorously, Tanjiro immediately shook his head like a rattle drum.

"No, no!"

"You're tempting Midouzi; Midouzi will eat your arm off."

Seeing this, Lin Bei said irritably.

"Knowing that, why don't you hurry up and do it?"

"Didn't you see that Nezuko is about to lose it?"

Tanjiro was startled upon hearing this. Seeing that Nezuko had somehow gotten close to him, he immediately grabbed Nezuko's head and pushed her away.

"Don't eat those beans!"

"It will make you sick."

Then, not daring to delay any longer, I hurriedly began to remove the stitches.

When he disassembled the arm and saw the smooth cut surface up close, along with the clearly visible blood vessels, muscles, and bones, his face turned pale.

It didn't look like a living person at all; its blood vessels didn't bleed, its bones were grayish-white, and its muscles were stiff.

Even if he didn't understand, he knew that this was the appearance of a dead person.

But he wasn't afraid; instead, he suddenly lowered his head and his tone became sorrowful.

"Lin Bei, you must be in a lot of pain looking like this!"

"It's all my fault! It's my fault for not coming home last night!"

"If I come back..."

"If I come back..."

"Things might not be like this now."

As he spoke, tears streamed down Tanjiro's face, dripping onto Linbei's severed arm.

Looking at Tanjiro, who was filled with remorse, Lin Bei sighed inwardly.

Ultimately, Tanjiro was the eldest son in his family.

Having lost his father at a young age, he shouldered the burden of the family early on, not only helping his mother take care of his younger siblings, but also often making charcoal to sell in town to supplement the family income.

She is a responsible yet gentle child.

But he is still young, only 13 years old.

In a previous life, this would have been the beginning of a rebellious phase.

But now he faces the misfortune of his family being murdered and his sister being turned into a monster.

Even so, he did not complain or blame others.

They were not defeated by misfortune.

Instead, he felt extremely guilty about what had happened to Midouzi.

But it is precisely because of this that Lin Bei, the time traveler, regards Tanjiro as a true family member.

He also knew that what Tanji needed at this moment was not comfort, but companionship and encouragement.

So Lin Bei pressed his forehead against Tanjiro's lowered head.

He spoke in a gentle voice.

"Tanjiro, it's okay."

"Nian Douzi and I will always be with you."

"Mom and my younger siblings will always be watching over us."

"Watch us find a way to turn the beans back into humans."

Just then, another small forehead came closer and pressed against Tanjiro and Rinbei's.

Lin Bei turned his head and saw that it was Ni Douzi, who looked completely bewildered.

And so, the three of them quietly nestled together, trying to dispel the grief of losing their family member.

……

Fifteen minutes later, Tanjiro finished sewing the last stitch, his forehead covered in sweat.

Lin Bei stood up and moved his arm, which had been stitched up, with a hint of amazement in his eyes.

This living dead body is just too amazing.

It was clearly a dead body with no heartbeat, no breathing, and no blood flowing.

Yet it doesn't feel stiff like a dead person at all.

Even severed limbs can be reattached by simply sewing them together with needle and thread.

The only side effect is the loss of most of the perception of pain and temperature, and the possibility of falling into actual death after the complete loss of perception.

They lose most of their pain and temperature sensation, which actually becomes an advantage in combat.

This allowed him to be unafraid of the pain during battle, and it was by taking advantage of this that he was able to restrain Giyu Tomioka earlier.

As for complete death after losing all senses, Lin Bei was not worried.

Because he also has a cheat code—the Yang Qi Furnace System.

The mere existence of a cheat system and the sharing system would normally be enough to bring him to his current miraculous state.

Lin Bei couldn't imagine how magical it would be when the cheat system officially started operating.

After a brief moment of reflection, Lin Bei and Tanjiro buried the bodies of their family members who had been killed by Muzan.

The snow has gradually subsided, and the weather is showing signs of clearing up.

They made preparations to prevent the beans from being exposed to the sun.

They dug a large pit in the yard and buried their mother and younger siblings in it.

Then, after changing his clothes, he took the little food and money he had left at home and embarked on his journey to find Urokodaki Sakonji at the foot of Mount Sagiri.

Two hours later, Lin Bei, Tanjiro, and Nezuko set off.

This group of three—a living person, a ghost, and a living dead—finally descended the mountain.

It was already afternoon, almost evening.

Fortunately, although the snow had stopped, the sun did not come out, and the sky remained gray.

So you don't have to worry about the beans getting sunburned.

Lin Bei and Tanjiro then had enough time to find a suitable place to rest for the night.

Actually, given Tanjiro's familiarity with the mountain and its surroundings, it would be quite easy for him to find a family to stay with.

However, given their current situation, not to mention whether they might scare others, they are afraid to stay at other people's houses for the fear of attracting ghosts.

So it wasn't until dark that they found an uninhabited hunter's cabin to settle down.

As soon as the three of them settled in, Tanjiro collapsed to the ground, exhausted, and his stomach began to protest loudly.

"Gurgle..."

Hearing the sounds coming from his stomach, Tanjiro blushed slightly and covered his stomach with his hand, trying to stop it from making any more noises.

The more she covered her stomach, the louder the protests grew, gradually becoming like thunder. This frightened Midouzi so much that she squatted down and covered her head with her hands, thinking it was real thunder.

Lin Bei smiled indulgently at the sight of the brother and sister.

After all, it's been a whole day.

Tanjiro is just an ordinary person.

Unlike Lin Bei and Mi Douzi.

It is human nature to go hungry.

So he untied the bag containing the grain and pots and pans and started a fire to cook.

A short while later, the steaming hot food was ready.

The rice was coarse rice, and the vegetables were pickled vegetables.

Simple, but plentiful and filling.

Upon smelling the aroma of the food, Tanjiro, who had just been slumped on the ground, immediately came to life. He picked up the food and began to eat heartily, completely forgetting his usual pre-meal etiquette.

Seeing Tanjiro like this, Lin Bei was not angry but happy, and added another spoonful of rice to Tanjiro's bowl with a smile.

"That's more like it!"

"It looks like someone is eating!"

Then he started eating his own portion.

However, Lin Bei was suddenly stunned as soon as he started eating.

Tanjiro's eyes immediately lit up with uncontrollable ecstasy.
