Looking at Imagawa Ujimoto who was swallowing the chicken as if chewing wax, Ginkgo tilted her head and asked, "Is it Mr.'s psychological effect?"
"Anyway, if I hadn't lost the bet, I would never have eaten these unclean things. I really couldn't help it." Imagawa Shimoto swallowed the last mouthful, feeling like the person whose body had been defiled, and his face was full of stains.
The expression of "It's been ruined and it will never get better".
"Ha, let's bet again." Ginkgo tilted her head with a smile, "Sir, think of another one."
"I've thought about it." Imagawa answered without even thinking.
"Roast chicken?" Ginkgo asked directly.
"wrong."
"Mud?"
"wrong."
"Wooden stick."
"wrong."
"Meat ban?"
"That's not right either."
"Oh?" After wasting four opportunities, Ginkgo rubbed her head in confusion, "Then I have to make a good guess."
"Is it a living thing?"
"Yes."
"Is it human?"
"Yes."
"Is it someone you know?"
"Yes."
After Ginkgo asked three questions in a row, the progress was greatly advanced, which made Imagawa Yuandun feel that the situation was not good.
"But how can you be sure, sir, that I know someone you know? Is it a celebrity?" Ginkgo glanced at Imagawa Ujihara suspiciously, "If the final answer is someone I don't know, I will judge you as the loser."
"Is this a question?" Imagawa Ujimoto confirmed to Ginkgo, "'Do you recognize this question?'"
"No, the question is changed to 'Can Sir ensure that I know this person'?"
"Yes." Imagawa Ujimoto had to admire Ginkgo's intelligence, and instantly narrowed the scope several times.
"Oh, but how many people are there in total, Sir, who confirmed that I know someone like me, an inexperienced mountain girl?" Ginkgo seemed to have guessed Imagawa Shimoto's answer, smiling sweetly, as if she was smiling.
Kagome Imagawa showed off proudly.
"There are only two questions left." In order to maintain the dignity of the man and not want to be teased too much, Imagawaji Yuan pretended to be calm and gestured with the number two, "Miss Ginkgo, don't get too proud too soon."
But Imagawa Ujimoto's cute and awkward self-esteem actually made Ginkgo want to tease him even more.
"So...my question is-"
Ginkgo's body slowly leaned forward, approaching Imagawajimoto. She put her right hand gently on Imagawajimoto's shoulder, and her cheek was almost in front of Imagawajimoto. Imagawajimoto could already feel Ginkgo's hair caressing
He rubbed his neck and felt her faint breath. Gingko took out the green-edged folding fan from Imagawajimoto's waist, gently lifted Imagawajimoto's chin with the fan handle, and forced Imagawajimoto to look directly at him.
From a very close distance, he looked at her cheeks that were flushed red due to exertion and her charming, lazy eyes.
"Is this the person that sir likes?"
Ginkgo spit out these few syllables playfully, and then watched with satisfaction as Imagawa Shimoto blushed instantly. She pulled away triumphantly, leaned against the tree trunk comfortably, rested her hands on her head and closed her eyes, "Quickly
Please answer, sir."
Ginkgo's guess was correct, the person Imagawa was thinking about was the girl in front of her.
The breeze blew by, blowing up the fallen leaves on the ground, and the residual temperature in the fire pit came with the wind, but it made Imagawa Shimoto's heart feel cold. After a moment of ambiguity, what was left was a heartbreaking fact, reminded over and over again.
Imagawa Ujimoto, the lively and lazy girl in front of her, is destined to be just a traveling companion. No matter how opportunistic she is, when the trip is over and she returns home, she will be married by her father to another stranger she has never met. From then on, she will be married to another stranger she has never met.
For the rest of his life, Imagawa Shimoto was afraid that he would never have the chance to see her again.
This relationship is destined to be fruitless, so should it continue? If you invest too deeply, will it hurt others and yourself? Should you tell her the love hidden in your heart? If you tell her, will it break it instead?
Now that sweet window paper has made the relationship between the two weird?
I don’t know how long I have been entangled, and I don’t know how many times my inner opinions have been fighting back and forth. When there was no more warmth in the fire pit, Imagawaji Moto replied softly:
"Yes."
However, the expected shy scolding and teasing from the girl did not reach his ears, instead the sound of gentle breathing came.
Imagawa Ujimoto looked up and found that the ginkgo leaning on the trunk had already fallen asleep sweetly.
The next morning, Ginkgo woke up in a daze, spread out her hands to look for it, and took hold of Imagawa Shimoto's delicate and powerful palm.
"Good morning, sir..." Ginkgo murmured sleepily, and finally opened her eyes. She blinked, and her long eyelashes were particularly beautiful.
"How long have I been sleeping? Have you finished eating?" Ginkgo suddenly sat up after regaining consciousness, patted her face to make herself more energetic, and then asked in surprise, "Why is it already morning?"
"You fell asleep in the middle of playing last night." Imagawa Ujimoto replied with a smile, "What, you lost your memory?"
"Ah?" Ginkgo tilted her head in confusion, looking at the chicken bones on the ground and the traces of the fire, obviously she didn't remember anything.
"You guys drink and drink, but Miss Ginkgo sleeps and sleeps?" Imagawa Ujimoto looked at Ginkgo's silly look and couldn't help laughing.
"It's an old habit. If I don't just lie down in bed and fall asleep, but fall asleep suddenly, I will forget everything about what happened before going to bed when I wake up. My memory only goes as far as...only when I won the game.
You, I'll force you to eat a bite of chicken." Ginkgo mumbled aggrievedly, as if she hated her head for being so stubborn. "So did we discuss anything last night? Where are we going now? I remember we were chasing after each other.
Did you come here after serving in the army?"
"Hmm...I didn't do anything." After thinking about it for a moment, Imagawaji Yuan decided to keep last night's ambiguity and excitement as a secret in his heart, "We are separated from your brother and my attendants, we have to find a way later.
If I find them, I have to find a way to get in touch with the ninja who is secretly protecting me."
"I also have to find a way to contact the ninjas who secretly protected me. I don't know what they were doing when the incident happened yesterday. I didn't see a single person." Ginkgo complained very dissatisfiedly, and then suddenly thought of something.
He looked at Imagawajimoto - Imagawajimoto also turned his head and looked at him.
"Could it be that the two teams of ninjas collided with each other and mistakenly thought that each other was the enemy?"
Imagawa Shimoto and Ginkgo said in unison.
In the end, the real assassin was released...
After Imagawa Ujimoto and Ginkgo got back on the road, they had to change their way - the last stone bridge on the mountain stream had been destroyed by Kira Usei yesterday, and they could not cross the river. However, as they walked, they found themselves in a remote place.
I saw a very small village in the mountain forest - more like a refugee shed. There were a few tents in the cave, and a lot of food was grown on some fairly flat land outside the cave. And at the entrance of the cave
, there is a backpack on the back - the one Kira Weicheng carries on his back.
"Usei, are you there?" Imagawa Jimoto tried to call. Not long after, Kira Usei, who was dressed in cloth, was seen walking out of the cave with support. After seeing Imagawa Jimoto and Ginkgo, he said very curiously: "What are you doing?
Came here?"
"We took a detour. Didn't you destroy the bridge?" Imagawa Ujimoto said as he looked at the backpack. There was no knife left in it. "Where is the knife you snatched?"
"Take it to the Nagashino castle town and sell it." Kira Hesei shrugged matter-of-factly and raised his hand to point into the cave, "How else could we feed so many mouths?"
Imagawa Ujimoto looked at the cave and found that there were dozens of half-year-old children living in the cave, and a few older ones were supervising other children who were playing crazy.
"So when you block the road and rob, you are not trying to be brave and ruthless, but you are robbing the rich and giving to the poor?" Imagawa Shimoto's sense of Kira Usei suddenly became much higher.
"They are all orphans of the war. Their parents died in the war, their families were destroyed by the war, and they have nowhere to go. I brought them here to barely have enough to eat." Ji Liang Weicheng sat down against a big stone.
Picking up a pebble, he tossed it in his hand.
"Amazing." Imagawa Ujimoto admired sincerely, "Just because of this, you are more amazing than those illustrious samurai, even more amazing than the samurai of the famous Kira clan that you pretend to be. You
When did you start rescuing these children?”
"The war has been going on for decades. There are probably tens of thousands of war orphans like this in the world. What are a few dozen of them?" Kira Usei smiled bitterly. This was the first time Imagawa Ujimoto saw him show a negative expression.
Emotions.
"I am also a war orphan, and I was raised like this. I grew up in a cave like this when I was a child." Kira Weicheng pointed back at the children in the cave with his thumb, "Later, our stronghold was destroyed.
The fire was set on fire, and the elder brothers who raised us were killed. I escaped by chance and started doing the same thing as them. I only remember that one elder brother's ancestor seemed to have worked in Kira's family, and he called himself Kira.
Already."
"Then if you are not trying to promote your martial name, why would you select samurai to steal their samurai swords? All samurai are skilled in martial arts, so how dangerous is it to fight? Isn't it bad to rob people and businessmen who are passing by?"
"This world is not easy for anyone. Whether it is the common people who have fled with their families or the businessmen who are running around all day and have no way to go home to collect some of their hard-earned money, how can I be so ruthless as to rob them? You warriors are pampered and well-fed.
Wear warm clothes, but just to rob such a few ruined cities, you are causing trouble and provoking wars. You are the instigators of so many homeless orphans. Who are you robbing if you don’t rob?" Kira Usei glanced at Imagawa Ujimoto with disdain,
He spat on the ground.
"That's a good scolding." Before Imagawa Shigen could say anything, Ginkgo on the side smiled and agreed, "There are only a few good people in the martial arts family all over the world."
"I agree very much." Imagawa Shimoto also nodded, "You can even remove the 'several'."
At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps and movement came from the mountain forest. Kira Usei suddenly stood up alertly, but Imagawa Ujimoto signaled that he didn't need to. The person who came was not an attacker, but the Earth Atomic Sutra
Led by ninjas.
"Young Master, you can make it easy for us to find you!" In order to hide his identity when he was out, Imagawa Shimoto didn't let Dou Atonsune call him His Highness, but called the Young Master, "The rescue came late yesterday! I'm so sorry! I deserve death! I'm sorry.
I accidentally encountered another group of ninjas, who were the escorts of the young master you were traveling with. As a result, we regarded each other as enemies and faced each other for a long time. Instead, the real attackers succeeded, which almost led to a big mistake. Now they go
We are looking for that young master, and we are also looking for you."
"It's okay, just be careful next time. It's just that I don't have a strong bodyguard by my side, so it's really uneasy to walk." Imagawa Ujihara nodded, then looked at Kira Usei, and then at the children in the cave behind him,
He extended an invitation and said, "How about it, the second best berserker in the world, are you interested in accepting my employment and becoming my bodyguard?"
"You seem to be a nice and good person, but what will happen to these children when I leave?" Kira Usei shook his head without hesitation. Imagawa Shimoto was also unambiguous, waving to the Earth Atomic Sutra, who
He took out a few taels of gold from his pocket and stuffed it into Kira Weicheng's hand.
"This...this is..." Kira Weicheng has never seen so much money in his life.
"As for the settlement fee, let's buy a place for the children to live in the castle town. I think there are a few older children and I should be able to take care of them. Isn't it better to live in a castle town than in the mountains where there are mosquitoes and wild beasts?" Imagawa clan
Yuan tapped Ji Liang Weicheng's shoulder with his hand and said with a smile, "Just follow me. If you meet other orphans who need your help on the way, you can bring them back."
"I didn't expect to meet a fool in these troubled times." Ji Liang Weicheng laughed dryly twice, with tears glistening in his eyes, and then curtly saluted, "Okay, I will listen to you. This is a miserable life for me."
It’s a lot of money, but I have no reason not to use it.”
