Chapter 139 Don't forget where you came from
Autumn in Jiyi is the harvest season, and there will be fewer worries after winter.Ji Zong was just in the mood to count the money, but received a piece of news that made people feel unmotivated.The general's family recruited her to report to Edo!In terms of disappointment, no one in the shogunate would dare to recognize the number one.
If you want to go, you must go; if you don't go, it is tantamount to rebellion.But, go, the risk factor is very high.Now that the general is young, maybe the people who support her behind her will kill these high-risk elements.People who hold military power will inevitably be ruthless in doing things.This kind of anti-aircraft gun is in the hands of children, and it feels unsafe to hit mosquitoes at any time.
"A Yuan!" Ji Zong greeted. After a long time, she saw that A Yuan, whose stomach was protruding without needing to be stretched, was slowly moving over, and she became dumbfounded all at once.
"Yes, master, what are your orders?" Ah Yuan stopped to pant, resisting the urge to roll her eyes, and don't greet her if it's okay.
Ji Zong thought about it for a long time, reckoning that if she didn't say anything, Ah Yuan would blame her; but if she really arranged work for her, she would hate herself.Looking at Ah Yuan's slightly protruding stomach and a dissatisfied face, Ji Zong shouted in disappointment, "Arima!"
This time, the sound of footsteps came quickly, much more quickly than that of Ayuan. Arima, who had no obvious symptoms after pregnancy, stood in front of Ji Zong, waiting for orders.Madoka was a little envious of Arima's comfort and ease. Ji Zong looked at the two round bellies and deeply understood why the boss was unwilling to recruit female employees. This problem was too realistic!
Ji Zong suppressed his helplessness and said, "You all already know that the general is going to recruit all the famous people to take turns?"
The two nodded, this is a big deal, how to arrange it, they have to wait for Ji Zong's guiding ideology before they can act.
"Organize a large-scale team, pack it up slowly, take care of it slowly, and just leave before the deadline!"
Arima responded respectfully, and Madoka's eyeballs rolled, and he immediately heard something was wrong.
"Master? What do you mean? Don't you go with the team?"
Ji Zong wanted to laugh but felt helpless, Ah Yuan knew her too well, and nodded, "Yes, I will take a few people and go around around first."
Ah Yuan thought about it, and felt that this was a good idea, better than leading a group of people to swagger through the market.Arima had some concerns about Yoshimune's thoughts, but she couldn't follow him, so she couldn't ask about Yoshimune's whereabouts in detail.
"Well, the guards will be arranged by San Langzuo, but, no matter what, you must bring a doctor with you for this trip!" Although A Yuan agreed with Ji Zong's first plan, she also put forward her own request.
Ji Zong thought about his experience several times, and made a concession, "Okay, but this person must be trustworthy, he doesn't talk much, his legs and feet are flexible, and he is smarter."
Ah Yuan rolled her eyes when she heard this, it was embarrassing for her!With such an all-round talent, does she still need to propose?Straightforwardly stuffed into the team!Such a person, for a while, where can she find her!
"Okay, you go first, and I'll send it to you when the time comes!" Ah Yuan gritted her teeth.
Ji Zong couldn't help but smiled, it was hard to imagine what Ah Yuan would look like after giving birth.However, for this rotation, it is estimated that he will not be able to come back within three months, and every time he goes there, maybe when he comes back, Arima and Madoka will both have babies in their arms.
"Then Ji Yi, I'll leave it to you." If Ji Zong wanted to leave, he had to hurry up, the more time she had, the greater her initiative.
Arima and Madoka bowed slightly, and Yoshimune waved his hands. Both of them had big stomachs, and she felt uncomfortable watching them.
"Also, this time, both Zhen Gongli and Yu Xumo are staying in the mansion! Take care of them both, and don't have any accidents."
As soon as Ah Yuan heard this, the little sorrow of parting that had just been born suddenly turned into sparks, and her temper was crackling all over her body.
She raised her body with a smile, supported her waist, and asked Ji Zong infinitely weakly, "Master, what you mean is that you don't bring any men with you this time, and you stay in the mansion. First, no one can hurt them; second, you can't let them Hurt each other; Three can't let them hurt themselves? Is that what you mean?"
Ji Zong also felt that he was a little unkind, touched his nose in embarrassment, and nodded abruptly.
"Yes, I would like to obey the master's order!" A Yuan replied respectfully with a smile.
Everyone is so familiar, if Ah Yuan really teased her a few words, she would be relieved, but with her like this, Ji Zong felt a little bit at a loss.This narrow-minded person won't trip her up, will he?
In this way, when Ji Zong asked San Langzuo to arrange people, she went to see her main room and side room, and comforted her a little.She said she was going to pay homage to her mother and sisters, and take a look at her father by the way.Zhen Gongli meekly asked her to convey her condolences. Ever since His Royal Highness was cleaned up, Zhen Gongli became more docile and respectful when he met Ji Zong.However, Ji Zong did not dare to let it go at all. Even if the cat puts a fleshy little paw in your hand, the sharp nails are hidden inside.Moreover, although he surrendered, if he had enough chips, he might not be unmoved.Therefore, Ji Zong did not tell Zhen Gongli her whereabouts.Even Mamiya could make a rough guess, but Ji Zong clearly restrained the words and deeds of insiders.Go home, and you can't talk to your family!The fewer people who know, the better.
Walking to the gate of Yusuma Temple, Ji Zong hesitated.She and Yu Xumo tasted the forbidden fruit, but it was a little embarrassing.She somewhat understood why men in ancient times respected their first woman more than they loved them.
"Take care." In the end, Ji Zong didn't explain his itinerary to Suma in detail, she didn't want to embarrass him.What is married from a wife, that is his family, who have loved and accompanied him for the past ten years.Ji Zong and Yu Xumo embraced and kissed softly goodbye.Yu Xumo smiled, for her thoughtfulness and thoughtfulness, that's fine, he doesn't know, so he doesn't have to be in a dilemma.He accepted her arrangement with peace of mind, trusting like every time before.
In the early morning, an unremarkable ox cart left the house, and then a few people on horseback scattered here and there.
Heiankyo Winter
Winding stone steps, going up the mountain, a figure is moving up, it is Ji Zong who has not been seen for many days.She wore a pair of wooden clogs with bare feet, and loose underwear. She only put on a coir raincoat because she was afraid that the early morning chill would wet her clothes.With the coarse cloth covering the head, Ji Zong's attire is no different from that of ordinary village women, except that behind her is a similarly attired Sanronzuo.Neither of them spoke, they crawled silently, as if they were doing something big.
The wind hit Ji Zong's face, bringing a chill. She stretched out her hand to touch it, and there were really water spots on her fingers.She looked up, snow fell on her face.This is in the suburbs of Heian-kyo and in the mountains, so it is not surprising that there is snow, but Heian-kyo claims that there is no snow all year round.I really don't know, what's so good about this, like the Suzaku Gate that everyone praised but couldn't afford to build after it collapsed.The dignity of the royal family, like this thing, has long been smashed on the ground and ground into the soil, but it is still erected in people's hearts.
Ji Zong lived in Heian-kyo for a few days, and he was about to be overwhelmed by the city, which was evenly cut into small grids of hundreds of meters by the roads.Everywhere is very similar, and it really has the pattern of a big city.However, elegant pedestrians on the road, even shopkeepers, have to paint and use elegant words.She really likes Edo more.
Crazy, she decided to visit this prestigious Honganji Temple in the morning.But now, the mountain gate of the temple is in front of us, which vividly embodies the word "gate", framing the road inside. The simple and simple gate forms a sharp contrast with the blue and luxurious temple behind.Yoshimune was interested in this place because Oda Nobunaga was burned to death here.Besieged by people, died in the body, laughing wildly in the raging fire.If someone can intimidate his enemies after death, what kind of intimidating courage should he have.
Ji Zong felt that Oda Nobunaga's enemies not only hated him and feared him, but also respected him. Only such a person will be remembered forever.
Snowflakes hit Ji Zong's eyelashes, she closed her eyes subconsciously, wiped off the snowflakes with her hands, and when she opened her eyes again, Ji Zong was stunned.A man in red clothes and a red umbrella suddenly appeared under the mountain gate and burned Ji Zong's retina.If it wasn't for her boldness, she would probably turn around and run away in fear now.When the man saw Ji Zong, he was taken aback for a moment, then smiled generously, and made a gesture of invitation to her.San Langzuo behind Ji Zong also clenched his fists. He didn't notice when this man came.
Ji Zong felt that he saw a monster, a big monster who grew up in the deep mountains and had terrifying skills.Smiling at her, but people keep it in their hearts at any time, as if they will stick out their tongues or arms to swallow people into their stomachs in the next second.
"Don't be afraid, benefactor. I think I'm the only one who has time to climb the mountain in this cold weather. So I have friends." The man said, his voice was as clear as a mountain spring, flowing in his heart, it was so cool to the bone.Backwashing away some other people's embankments, his natural tone was open and upright.
He stepped down slowly, and Ji Zong got closer to him, so he could see the face of the person clearly.This person is very beautiful, with a kind of neutral beauty, but he doesn't look feminine, but his lines are soft, but his skeleton is very tough.If I had to say it in one word, it would be "strength of character".
The man held an umbrella and looked at Jizong, who frowned.She seemed to have seen this person somewhere, but if she had seen such a person, how could she easily forget it.A blurry picture flashed in her mind, and just as she was about to think of something, she saw the man raise his hand.
San Langzuo quickly stood between the two of them, and the man raised his hand to adjust the hairpin and stopped, grinning.
"The benefactor is very blessed. Your man is in good health. It is really your great fortune." The man held Fusong loosely holding the long hairpin that held his hair. Ji Zong felt that it was a bit exaggerated for a man to wear such a hairpin, as if a feather was inserted on the top of his head. like.
"Accept your auspicious words!" Sanlang Zuo also laughed heartily, showing his white teeth, "We heard that this temple is efficacious, so we want to come to worship. My wife and I have been married for many years, but we have no children. My mother said, if I If you don’t want your wife to conceive, you will have to borrow another seed. We have known each other since we were young, so how can we allow others to intervene, so I only hope that this temple is as effective as others say.”
Hearing this, the man was slightly taken aback, and lowered his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.After a long while, he stopped arranging his hair and put it down, the slipped sleeves covered his translucent hands.
"Don't worry about this little brother. You are still young. I don't think your wife is very old. I'm afraid she will be able to fulfill her wish in a short time." The man raised a bright smile and comforted San Langzuo. The colors of all the scenery in the room seemed to have faded.
"If that's the case, I'm really happy!" The figure of San Lang Zuo completely blocked Ji Zong, and the man couldn't see Ji Zong at all, so naturally he couldn't look at her expression.Seeing this, the man smiled again, and was about to speak when he saw Ji Zong behind San Langzuo push him away and said impatiently.
"Will you go, or don't go, it's already dawn. How can you have so much time to chatter with people! Besides, you are a man, who will allow you to walk in front of me!" Ji Zong said, holding San Langzuo The arm, pulling him up, was holding on to the arm that he hadn't recovered yet.
"Whether you want to go up or down, decide quickly! Get out of the way." Ji Zong said impatiently, looking at the man coldly.
The man was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, and turned sideways.
"Ma'am, don't blame me. I dare not delay your affairs. It's just that it's really rare to meet someone here early in the morning, so I will inevitably talk too much."
Ji Zong pulled San Langzuo's arm in a somewhat rude manner, and walked past him, and when he passed by, he did not forget to turn his face and said fiercely, "I am not a 'madam', you nobles, don't take it!" These jokers!" After finishing speaking, he reached out and patted San Langzuo's head, reprimanding him, "If someone gives you some color, you will really treat yourself as a dish, and you will be burned! Go! If you don't get pregnant again this year Babe, I will sell you and exchange for a few young men to borrow seeds!"
"Oh, just go, you are a knife-mouthed bean curd heart, can't you say good things well, you have to be misunderstood like this. Who doesn't know that you love me the most, don't you, Ashin?" San Langzuo was behind her, She dragged and staggered.
Ji Zong's ears were a little red, this San Langzuo, he was panting when he said he was fat, although he knew it was an expedient measure, but he was too into the drama.Ji Zong looked at the man standing sideways by the road with an embarrassed expression, and snorted, as if thinking of something, his hands froze.Another area, pulling Sanlangzuo ahead of him, pushing him up. "Hurry up!" San Langzuo struggled a few times, but couldn't bear her natural power, but the two of them seemed to be walking behind each other, dragging on the stone steps, but walking slowly.
"It's been a long time since I've seen such an interesting person like you!" The man was still watching the excitement from behind, but he actually laughed out loud. The two people who were pushing and shoving were stunned for a moment, stopped their hands and feet, and looked at him. "Forget it, don't be annoying here, and delay your young couple's flirting."
The man held an umbrella, turned around, ran in the opposite direction from them, and walked down the stone steps to the mountain, which was the way they came.The man walked clattering, humming the tune of Joruri, as if he was in a happy mood.
Ji Zong and San Langzuo stood on the stone steps maintaining the pulling posture, watching the red umbrella getting smaller and smaller, neither of them blinked.Ji Zong grabbed San Langzuo's wrist, and San Lang Zuo supported Ji Zong's elbow. The two didn't look at each other until the red umbrella disappeared.San Langzuo looked at Ji Zong solemnly, and asked, "Are you still going up? Maybe there is an ambush up there."
Ji Zong looked down the mountain, then looked up the mountain, frowned and said, "If it's really an enemy, if you are prepared, you will have the upper hand. Why don't we go up, maybe we can break through this situation, and" Ji Zong looked again Glancing at the mountain, "I always feel that he is also very surprised by our appearance, so that's why we showed obvious flaws."
It turned out that both of them saw through the man in red, his lightness skill was excellent, even surpassing San Langzuo, otherwise, he would not have failed to notice his arrival.However, they also discovered that this person's ten fingers were slender and even, as soft as boneless, and his skin was delicate, even translucent.However, his palm is slightly thicker than the skin of his fingers, this person is good at hidden weapons!That's why San Langzuo stood in front of Ji Zong.Ji Zong also understood what San Langzuo meant, so he acted according to his wishes and relaxed the man's vigilance, as if the two were really ordinary couples who came to burn incense.Only in this way can it be explained why a man and a woman walked on such a quiet mountain road early in the morning.
"I just hope it's a coincidence." Sanlangzuo grabbed Ji Zong's arm, not relaxing at all. "Since you also saw that he is good at using hidden weapons, why did you pull me away, and then walked behind me."
Ji Zong gave him a blank look, as if he was looking at a fool, "I am fleshy, and there is a hole in my body with a hidden weapon nail, isn't it you? The place where the eagle scratched is not yet clean, and you want to go through another hole?"
San Langzuo was stunned, then blushed a little, and scratched his head with his idle hand to cover up, "Cough, am I better at martial arts than you? Besides, it is my duty to protect you."
"There is no reason to use you as a human shield when you know the danger! You are not." Ji Zong narrowly closed his mouth when he said this.She is not an impulsive person, but she didn't say "you are not an ordinary person".He is not an ordinary person, so what?She concealed, "It's not that you don't know, I don't like this, and it's not a desperate situation, why bother to fight with your life all day long."
San Langzuo was just immersed in the joy of Ji Zong's intention to protect him, but he still felt a little distressed, which was a contradictory feeling.Ji Zong was a little annoyed by his laughter, and he didn't know why, so he said with a sullen face, "Smile, smile, you can still laugh, go, hurry up and burn incense, if you don't get pregnant again this year, I will kill you!" Sell it!" After saying that, he dragged San Langzuo viciously and went to the top of the mountain.Sanlang Zuo was pulled by her cheerfully, and staggered several times, with a smile on his face all the time, looking silly.Ji Zong's ears were reddish, he pursed his lips sullenly, and dragged him up, holding his breath in his heart, just feeling unhappy.
The two chattered, their hearts churned, and they completely forgot about the danger just now and the crisis that might be lurking.There was a line of small characters engraved on the mountain gate behind him, so naturally no one noticed it.
"Don't forget the way you came from", this is a Zen saying, which means to save the dead, guide the way and don't forget the way home; it also means to wake up, warning people not to Don't forget the original heart.
The snowflakes were falling gently, the mountains were peaceful, the temperature was not too low, before the snowflakes fell to the ground, they turned into water, water marks on the stone steps, no different from the morning dewdrops.The two have the same origin, but they are presented in different forms, so scattered, it is not interesting.
The author has something to say: the world is like a mirror, you smile at it, and it smiles at you; when you are kind to others, you will feel that the people around you are also kind to you.This is the so-called stupid people have stupid blessings, right?

I went out two days ago and didn't ask for leave, sorry!
Hey, I had a great time, I had a short trip, I met friends, I was happy.
