For a few days, neither Saito nor Saburo came to the store. On the fourth night, I saw their familiar figure, and this time there was one more person — Yongcang Xinba. I just didn't see the white figure, my heart was faintly lost and worried.
"Xiaoyin, did you scare you that day? The director-general came back with blood and made us startled." Sanlang said with a smile. "But those people are just looking for death. They even started with the director-general, hahaha."
My hand shaking the bowl slightly shook my head. I looked up and saw Saito looking at me thoughtfully.
"Director... He's alright." I asked in a low voice.
"Fortunately, the cough seems to be getting worse." Then he turned to Saito and said, "In the past few days, I woke up in the middle of the night and often heard that the director-general coughed very badly. It seemed abnormal. Ayi , Do you want to tell the deputy director?"
Saito still looked at me and said lightly: "He didn't say nothing, you don't have to worry too much." There was an indistinct look in his eyes.
My heart seemed to tighten again when I heard the words of Sanlang. Has his cough become worse? Why is it that my heart is so disordered, I can’t tell what it feels like, maybe it’s pity.
"You really are, the woman who is the director-general does not go to see him!" Yong Cang frowned.
"I have already said that my name is Xiaoyin, and I am not the woman of the Director General! Mr. Baozi!" I was also a little angry, and I was not in a good mood.
"Mr. Baozi?" Everyone was surprised for a moment, and a burst of laughter broke out at first. Saito's mouth also rose slightly. Yong Cang's face was twisted together, and he said angrily, "When will I look like a bun?"
I looked at him and said softly, "It's now."
San Lang looked at Yong Cang and smiled more fiercely. He even said: "Like, like..." Saito flashed a smile in his eyes.
"Well, can I see the Director General tomorrow?" I don't know how to say it. Before I leave this era, I want to do my best to give the Director General a little more care. Neither the son of a ghost nor the chopping of people is not what the director wants to choose, nor is it his fault.
"Of course." Saito replied to me with a stark twist. I was stunned, the sun came out from the west today.
This is the second time I have come to the newly-built group. The guard's team members didn't stop me because they had seen me last time, and they also smiled ambiguously, they must have thought that I was a woman of the so-called director general. Yongcang Xinba and Baozi Xinba don't know what nonsense.
As soon as I walked inside, I saw a tall man in black walking towards me. When I saw his face clearly, I couldn't help but sigh, how unlucky I was, and I met the devil's deputy narrow path.
I quickly lowered my head and pretended I didn't see it. I walked past him quickly. As soon as I breathed a sigh of relief, I heard the voice: "Come to see the director?"
I sighed and had to stand still.
I simply turned around and stared at him directly: "If Mr. Tufang has doubts about me, then I can leave immediately."
He stared at me for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Come with me."
Come on, who is afraid of who. Immediately, I followed him into his room.
"You were there when the Director General was attacked that day." He sat down and said lightly.
I nodded.
"So, are you afraid?" He looked at me.
I shook my head. At that time, the feeling was not scared. How could I be afraid of dealing with ghosts often?
"Before you go to see the Director General, you better know a little bit. Here, you can only survive as a ghost. The Director General is like this, I am like this, everyone is like this, once you feel threatened Not soft. So, if you are hesitant, it’s best to leave the directorate immediately."
After hearing his words, my heart was clear. Tufang said this because he wanted to protect the Director General, fearing that the Director General would be injured. From this point of view, he does not seem so ruthless.
I suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Tsuchiya, I don’t know if you have heard what the third generation general of the Shogunate Tokugawa Tokugawa said. When he suppressed the Christians, he said:'It is not me who killed, it is politics that killed 'This sentence is an excuse, but it is also a truth. So it is not the fault of the director-general to survive as a ghost, it is not your fault, it is not the fault of anyone, it is the fault of this era. Of course I understand this, Killing is not the fault of the Director General, killing is the fault of the times. In this turbulent era, whether it is right or wrong, whether it is right or wrong. Everyone only bets on their lives because of different ideas, and speaks with the sword in their hands. How did I view the Director General before? It will be the same in the future. The smile of the Director General will always be the same pure in my heart."
The earthwork had a complex look in it, mixed with a trace of surprise. "Whether right or wrong, right or wrong." He repeated lowly.
I smiled and said: "What's more, I don't think you are ghosts, just like Mr. Tufang, if you really become a ghost, you won't be so worried about the director."
"Okay, let's go to see the Director General, he is teaching swordsmanship." The earth seems to be suddenly confessed, and the tone is a bit unnatural.
"Well, then I went out." I smiled at him again, stood up and went out.
Soon I found the trial sword hall, and at a glance I saw the chief in a white shirt and black skirt. This dress made him more heroic.
"Director General, your woman is here!" Some people took the opportunity to laugh. It's Yongcang Xinba again, so I'm old and he doesn't match up.
The director-general turned around and saw me. He froze for a moment and immediately showed an angelic smile. He walked straight with a bamboo knife and said, "Xiaoyin, why are you here?"
"Did you forget that your health was given to me." I handed him the food box I had been holding in my hand, and said angrily, "I'm going to eat all the white pear honey."
He smiled more happily, reaching for the food box and saying, "Then eat with me." He said that he would let me go with him. I should not have heard the laughter from behind.
"I heard that your cough is worse?" I whispered.
He opened the food box and smiled: "It smells good." This guy deliberately interrupted.
I snapped the food container with a snap and stared at him: "Answer first, otherwise you won't have to eat!"
He smiled and said, "I'm fine, much better. Really, don't you look at me, isn't your spirit good?"
"Director General..." Seeing him smile so brilliantly, my heart began to ache again. If according to historical records, the Director General's life would not even reach one year...
"The Director General has said that there are people who want to protect, and I think the people the Director General wants to protect should be Mr. Tokata and Director Kondo." I looked at him.
He froze for a moment, smiled and nodded.
"The director and deputy director are just like my loved ones. I have made up my mind since the moment I followed them. Their ideal is my ideal, and the new team is our ideal. If you can guard important people, if you can Realize my dream, even if I become a ghost, even if I fall into the way of Shura. I think this is my destiny. Since I chose such a way, then, killing people, living in the storm, it becomes An inescapable fate. This path was chosen by myself, and I will not regret it."
"But you're sick, don't you really intend to say it, this will be discovered sooner or later." I frowned.
"Then I can't wait until I can hide it. I want to stay with them as much as possible while I can stay here."
He smiled shallowly, his innocent and pure smile was dazzling.
When he did not take the knife, he was an angel, and as soon as he took the knife, he became an asura. But under the blue sky, his smile is still as innocent as the white clouds in the sky, so pure that there is no trace of impurities. When he was quiet, this reassuring smile at first glance made all the intimidating images that he brought to people when he took the knife disappeared.
Whether it is an angel or a devil is no longer important.
I only know that this is the Director General I know, naive and gentle, pure and harmless. Never complain about destiny, just keep it quietly, no matter how hard the end is, still smile, and walk firmly.
My heart seems to be more and more painful...
The days seemed to have been very peaceful. I couldn't see Saito's killing intentions towards A Ju. Instead, they felt that they had a good relationship with A Ju. Did Si Yin get the wrong time? Is there something wrong? Just in case, I still call the queling at any time beside Aju.
I also visited Tunsuo several times during this period, but fortunately, I didn't encounter the deputy devil.
It was very late that day, and when it was time to close, a young woman wearing a pink kimono suddenly walked outside the door, saying that their young lady suddenly wanted to eat a special soba noodle from Oeya. The buckwheat noodles made by Ah Ju are quite famous, and they are often bought and brought back by people nearby, just like the takeaway now. But like this late, it seems to be the first time.
A Ju made a good noodle, put it in the food box, and gave it to the woman. The woman reached for her hand and hurried away. She just walked to the door and only heard the sound of "dong". She suddenly fell to the ground. A Ju and I ran quickly to support her. The fall seemed not to fall lightly, her ankle was swollen, and she was anxious, struggling and trying to stand up.
"I don't think you can move for the time being. Take a break and go back." I rubbed her legs for her.
She suddenly looked embarrassed and said, "I don't care, it's just Miss A Chang. If she doesn't send it in time, I'm afraid she will be angry with me, maybe I will be chased away."
I thought about it and said, "It's okay, you tell me where I am, I will send it for you."
There was a flash of joy in her eyes, and then she said sadly: "But it is so late..."
"Don't worry about so much, I'll send it for you." I smiled and said, "Where?"
She hesitated and said, "Shimabara Kameya."
"Okay, I know, rest assured." I lifted the food container. Turn around and walk towards the door.
Just turned around and suddenly reacted, Shimabara Kameya? Why is this name so familiar? Where does it seem to have been heard? Um, by the way, didn't Yongcang mention that day? Oops, then there is a place for geisha, to put it plainly is a brothel. I suddenly felt excited, and finally had the opportunity to satisfy my curiosity.
"So Miss Chang?" I couldn't help asking.
"Miss A Chang is the most popular geisha there." She whispered, oh, fully understand that it is Huakui. No wonder it's a bit arrogant. I was even more excited to hear her say this, I don't know what Hua Kuimei looks like.
"Xiaoyin, Shimabara Turtle House is on the six Yangmei paths, and you will arrive after crossing the seven oil paths." A Jusheng was afraid that I might get lost and reminded me again.
"Got it!" I stepped out of the door as I responded.
Seven oil trails, isn't that where I just arrived in this era? I walked all the way quietly all around, and I was used to the occasional floating floater, they didn't provoke me, and I was too lazy to care about them.
As soon as I walked near the oil road, I saw three or four warriors dressed in the alley in the front walk out without any haste. It seemed that I had just come out of a izakaya. At this moment, a cold autumn wind blew past, and I suddenly felt a familiar feeling-a killing intent.
At that time, I saw a tall black figure flashing out like a ghost, the silver knife flashed, and the man fell down without even humming. Several other men hurriedly pulled out the knife, but the black man did not allow them the opportunity to pull the knife. At the speed of electric flint, the black man had inserted the knife back into the scabbard in an extremely chic and beautiful posture. At the same time, in the dim light, the dim shadows of those people slowly fell down...In an instant, blood splashed, and the sickening smell of blood quickly filled the air.
This place should not stay for a long time, I just want to move my footsteps, the man just turned around, the face under the moon clearly printed in my eyes.
"Ah, Mr. Saito." I couldn't help but whisper.
He also saw me when he heard the sound, his face changed a little, he walked over quickly and pulled me away.
"You see it." He asked me coldly, pulling me into a remote alley.
I hesitated and nodded. I still kept calm on my face, but I was a little nervous. The situation just now must have been the task of assassination. What is he thinking about now? Do you want to die? Although I can use the fog escape, but he draws his sword so fast, it is really hard to say. Thinking of this, I started sweating on my forehead.
"So," he said with a stern look in his eyes, "I just forgot what you saw."
Hearing his words, I was relieved and nodded quickly. It seemed that he didn't kill me.
He looked forward thoughtfully. The blood spattered from the other person's body had already been hidden into the black of his clothes, and a few drops of dark red blood stains left between his brows. A faint moonlight enveloped his whole body, and the bright silver white moonlight and the dark red scary blood stain formed a strong contrast. Saito I, this ruthless swordsman, what is in his heart?
"Mr. Saito, why did you join the new team?" I hesitated, or said something.
He didn't seem to expect that I would ask this suddenly, froze for a moment, turned his head to look at me, turned his head again, looked at the front, and didn't speak.
Just when I thought he would not answer me, he suddenly spoke. "Do you know that evil is cut?" he asked strangely.
I have seen this sentence somewhere. If I remember correctly, it is the belief that Saito has always insisted: as long as it is evil, it must be broken up.
I nodded and said, "I know, but what is the standard of evil? Everyone has a different definition of evil. Forgive me for being rude. In the minds of those who are reformers, I am afraid that Mr. Saito is evil. ."
He glanced at me lightly and said, "If they have this ability, they can come and kill me."
I remembered that maybe he would kill Aju in the future, and I couldn't help but ask: "So as long as Mr. Saito thinks it is evil, no matter men, women and children, you will beheaded, right?"
"It's evil, that's cutting." He answered simply.
My heart sank and whispered: "Doesn't Mr. Saito have anyone to cherish or protect?"
He glanced at me and turned around, "I Saito I, don't need that kind of presence." As soon as the words fell, he walked forward without looking back.
I was standing in the same place, looking at his distant back, and a complex emotion filled my heart. After looking at the food box in my hand, I suddenly remembered that I had to go to Kameya, Shimabara.
Taking a deep breath of the night air, I quickly walked forward.
It took about a quarter of an hour to arrive at Kameiya, Shimabara. Unlike the quiet surroundings, it seemed to be a lot of lively. On the long and narrow streets full of lanterns, there were rambler samurai carrying Taiji and women dressing up. The sound of soliciting business and the laughter between men and women are one after another. This is also the nightlife of the Edo period.
As soon as I walked into Shimabara Turtle House, I said what I meant, and immediately a young woman led me to a room upstairs.
"Please wait." She knelt on the tatami and bowed to me.
"Wait a minute!" I was a little anxious. "Why do you want me to stay here? It's not enough to pay."
She smiled very commercially and said, "Sorry, Miss A Chang is very demanding. If you are not satisfied, I still ask you to return." She finished and moved the sliding door.
"Ah!" What, do you want me to take it back, what is this Miss Chang...
I looked around the room and it was elegantly decorated. There was a potted bonsai with white chrysanthemums and red leaves in the corner. A purple dwarf was placed beside the bonsai, and silk cushions embroidered with peonies were placed next to it.
I glanced over the inside, covered with a layer of bedding, and I began to think about the evil side again. This should be the room of Miss A Chang, so Miss A Chang is also here to pick up guests.
I placed the food container on the short side, and the candlelight in the white paper lantern swayed gently in the dark. A gust of autumn wind blew in with the lattice window, and the candlelight swayed even more, lest the candlelight was blown out. I hurriedly stood up to close the lattice window, just touching the paper window with my hand, and listening to a soft pop, it was dark in front of my eyes.
Ah, bad, I was stunned for a moment. I just wanted to turn around and outside the door. Suddenly I heard the sound of the sliding door being pulled. Is that Miss A Chang? I unconsciously reached forward, but touched a sturdy chest. This touch was not a woman. I touched it a few more times, and it was a man!
I hurriedly thought that it was too late to shrink my hand. The man grabbed my hand and pulled it in his direction, letting it go. My foot was light, and in a flash, he had fallen on the tatami and was pressed tightly by him. under.
I encountered this unexpected situation for the first time in 19 years. I was there for a while. What happened? I'm here to deliver food, but I'm not a food delivery!
