Xu Guangling stayed in Japan for a full seven days, which was much longer than he originally planned.
In addition to visiting the related industries of the Ito family, what he often did was walk on the streets of Kyoto, or observe. Ito Makari accompanied him, and even if she was extremely smart, she really couldn't see or guess what he was.
What are you observing?
When Xu Guangling left, three generations of the Ito family saw him off, and dozens of bodyguards were dispatched.
The pomp and atmosphere made many people at the ferry look at both parties quietly with very surprised eyes, especially the one being sent away. They always thought that this was some kind of VIP person, but after searching through their memories, no one recognized him.
Xu Guangling also refused to go to Hokkaido to soak in hot springs at Marri Ito's invitation, saying it would be next time.
But even a naive person like Mari Ito knows that this so-called next time is really equivalent to another form of goodbye. Well, if there is no follow-up appointment, we don’t know when we will meet again, or we will never meet again.
After Xu Guangling left, the Ito sisters all seemed very melancholy, especially Ito Mari, who immediately appeared unhappy.
In the evening, Matiri Ito talked with his grandfather.
"Grandpa, why do you value Xu Jun so much?" Ito Matiri asked with confusion.
They hadn't met before, and through her story, her grandfather showed extreme importance on the phone. But after meeting, Ito Matiri realized that that level of attention was far from extreme.
What is really extreme is these days.
Her grandfather showed such respect for Xu Jun that she was shocked.
Shizuishi Ito's gaze was calm and profound at the same time.
"I have been cultivating you since you were three years old, and decided at that time to let you take over the business of the Ito family when you grow up." Ito Shizuki said something that surprised Ito Matiri, and continued
He said: "The further journey begins when I pursue your grandmother."
"And the farthest, the first, starts with an earthquake."
What her grandfather said made Ito Matiri extremely curious, and she immediately realized that there was something extremely remarkable hidden in it.
"Otong, look at me." Shizuishi Ito said.
The two sat opposite each other and talked, and Ito Matiri's eyes never left her grandfather, so at this time, with Ito Matiri's inquiring eyes, her eyes met directly with her grandfather's eyes.
"Otong, do you know that I am blind in one eye?" Shizuishi Ito said lightly.
"What?" Hearing her grandfather say this, Ito Maton couldn't believe her ears. The next moment, she looked at her grandfather carefully without caring about being rude, but no matter how she looked, she couldn't see even the slightest trace.
exception.
In fact, in more than ten years of life, she had never noticed anything wrong with her grandfather’s eyes!
If I had to say something was wrong, it would be that my grandfather's eyes were very calm and calm. It was as if he had seen everything in the world, but then turned to be as plain as water.
From childhood to adulthood, Ito Makari drew confidence and strength from this look countless times.
But now she learned that one of her grandfather's eyes was actually blind?
How could she not be surprised by this!
"A few decades ago, there was a big earthquake. At that time, my grandfather was still a child, playing with some other friends in the suburbs." Shizuishi Ito's eyes were full of memories, "I couldn't react to the sudden earthquake, and I fell down.
On the ground, he hit his head hard on a large raised rock on the ground."
"Ah?" Ito Matiri couldn't help but exhale softly.
"My head was bleeding and I was stunned and stunned. My whole head felt stuffy and my eyesight was all black."
"After being helped home by my friends, your grandparents were also shocked and took me to the hospital for bandages. After the examination, the doctor said that I was fine, but that I had a concussion that was not clear and needed to be treated properly.
Rest and retreat.”
Ito Matiri listened quietly.
Her grandfather never mentioned this matter to her, and her father didn't seem to know either.
"Later, the injury on his head gradually healed, and so did the concussion. His brain was no longer groggy, but one of my grandfather's eyes, the left eye, was black and he couldn't see anything in his field of vision.
.”
"I never told your grandparents about this." Ito Shizuishi said, "Just when I thought my left eye was blind and I was panicking, I discovered that I couldn't see anything in my left eye, but there was
An exception."
Ito Matiri held her breath slightly unconsciously.
"The exception is when looking at people."
After saying this, Shizuishi Ito emphasized: "When looking at a few people, exceptions are made."
"If I cover my right eye and only see with my left eye, when I walk on the street, I will look like a truly blind man, unable to see anything. However, if I am in a crowded place, occasionally I will see something.
It's a grayish-white mist-like thing, small and small, some big and some small."
"I saw this with my left eye, and then through my right eye, what I discovered was that it was a ball of mist that looked like a flat balloon or a big mushroom, hanging on the heads of a very few people."
Ito Matiri opened his eyes wide.
What my grandfather said now is like a myth.
No, it's not a myth. In the books she read, books about ancient China, there were similar records, and there were more than one example.
But before, she thought it was all a myth.
"Grandpa doesn't know why only a very small number of people have this mist on their heads, but not most other people. Even now, I still don't know."
"After discovering this situation, my grandfather was very curious. He would deliberately approach these people and take a closer look at what was different about them. But in the end, he found nothing. Some of them were born rich, and some were just ordinary.
Some are male, some are female, some are old, some are young, they are so different from each other that I can’t find anything in common.”
"In the first period of time, it was like I had a fun toy. I would try to get closer to anyone with aerosols above my head, and then look at them. Slowly, I found that I couldn't see anything. My grandfather's mood
It will fade away."
Ito Matiri nodded.
"Until later, one day, when I was at school, I saw a little girl who was very cute and looked like a porcelain doll." When he said this, Shizuishi Ito not only had an obvious expression in his eyes, but also in his words.
recall.
"That's grandma?" Ito Matong asked tentatively.
"Yes, she later became your grandmother." Shizuishi Ito smiled, "She got very bad grades and was naughty. Your grandfather, I, was both upright and good in grades."
"Logically speaking, the two of us should be completely on the wrong track."
Having said this, Shizuishi Ito stopped, his face full of memories and nostalgia.
Ito Matong waited quietly, and when her grandfather's eyes turned to the calmness she was familiar with, she asked:
"What did you find in your grandmother?"
"There is also mist on the top of my grandmother's head, and it's different from other people's?"
