Chapter 158 158
The next day.
The morning light fell through the gap of the sliding door, printing a long and narrow golden streak on the tatami, and the dust in the air danced slowly up and down in this narrow and long light.Outside the round wooden window, there are the chirping of sparrows and the soft sound of wings flapping.
After Yuna got up, she changed her clothes and folded the quilt.She had a good rest last night, and now she is no longer tired from running around.
The clothes she wore yesterday needed to be washed. She took out the pajamas she had left Suma, folded them, and found a hard object in the inner pocket of the belt.She suddenly remembered that she hid a remarkable thing in her inner pocket earlier, and she forgot about it in the haste to escape.
When Yue Yan got engaged to her, she wore the blue diamond ring on her finger, and she wore it to Umo Tengen's house.Later, she became Yu Mao's fourth wife, and the engagement ring couldn't be worn anymore, so she put it away.But she likes blue diamonds, so she naturally took this ring with her when she walked from Flower Street.Precious things cannot be stored in one place, so she sewed the ring into her belt.
She took out the ring and weighed it. Thinking of her penniless self, she decided to bow to life and find an opportunity to pawn it for money.
Yue Yan had lied to her for so long that she almost became the ghost's bride.This little compensation is not an exaggeration, right?
Pushing open the sliding door, she heard the sound of bamboo swords waving in the open space not far away.She stopped and looked sideways for a moment—the cobblestone path in front of her led to a cedar tree, and under the shade of that tree was a man in red and black, holding a bamboo sword and pointing at the air in front of him. Practice fencing repeatedly.
It turned out that Purgatory Xing Shoulang was practicing swordsmanship.
I don't know when he got up and started practicing swords. Sweat hung on his forehead, and the back of his red shirt was soaked with sweat.
Yuna doesn't know swordsmanship, but only finds his movements very pleasing to the eye - the arm is raised, and the blade stabs forward like lightning; the contours of the shoulders and hands are very powerful and beautiful when they rise and fall.
Thinking of his phantom-like figure the day she met Purgatory Kyojuro, she admired the swordsmen of the Demon Killing Squad quite a lot—if she wanted to practice such a powerful swordsmanship, she must have decades of perseverance and perseverance. Make up your mind.
Kyojuro stabbed forward with the blade twice, and suddenly noticed that Yuna was standing at the corner of the corridor looking at him.He put down the bamboo sword and greeted her: "Good morning, Yukita. How did you rest yesterday?"
"Sleeping peacefully." She bowed to the young Yan Zhu, "It's very peaceful here, I always feel like I'm back at home."
Hearing what she said, Xing Shoulang raised his eyebrows, showing the sun-like smile that always hangs on his face: "That's really great. I was worried that you would be too scared to sleep! This is for you Said it was a strange place."
After practicing sword for too long, Xing Shoulang's forehead was covered with beads of sweat.He laughed for a while, and the sweat that drenched his bangs rolled down, almost falling into his eyes, and he had to wipe them with his cuff.
"Please use this."
Just as Xing Julang was roughly wiping sweat with his cuff, a handkerchief was handed in front of him.The hands that passed the kerchief were slender and white, with slender fingers that belonged to women.
He looked up, and Yuna walked to his side at some point: "This is what Senshouro gave me yesterday, can you send it now?"
Come in handy. "
Xing Shoulang pushed her hand away and said, "Just use your sleeve to wipe it off! This way you don't need to wash an extra handkerchief."
She blinked, and didn't pay attention to Xing Shoulang's kindness, but took the initiative to reach out and put the handkerchief towards his forehead: "Mr. Purgatory, how long have you been practicing swordsmanship, you are sweating a lot..."
It was obviously an ordinary cotton cloth, but it felt as smooth as silk in her palm.The sticky sweat was wiped off, and the face became much refreshed.Xing Shoulang touched his forehead and said with a smile: "I got up before dawn, and I haven't practiced for long."
"It's really hard work." She lowered her head and folded her handkerchief, and her long black hair slid down from her shoulders, like a piece of silk made of night; With white hair.
At that time, my mother was actually very young, but illness and worry made her gray hair early.In order not to worry her husband and children, she would sit in front of the mirror and pluck out the new white hair and cut it off.In this way, she is beautiful and strong again in front of her family, and her long hair, which has been carefully maintained, is impeccable in the hands of her husband.
However, that was a long, long time ago.
"Miss Ukita, breakfast is ready!" Senjurou's voice came from the other end of the corridor, Yuna heard it, put away the handkerchief, saluted Kyojurou, and signaled that she was leaving.
Xing Shoulang has already had a simple meal, and will not dine with his brother and guests.He put away his sword and watched her go: "Ukita, if you need anything, you can tell me and Qianshoulang directly."
Breakfast was prepared by Senjuro alone, some simple rice with pickled plums, and the usual red bean paste buns.Yuna could tell that Kid Senshouro really liked eating red bean paste buns, and would sprinkle green onions on the red bean paste buns.
She and Senjuro sat down at the dinner table and said "good morning" to each other.Senshouro showed a boyish big smile, and asked her enthusiastically: "Miss Ukita, were you watching my brother practicing sword just now? He looks quite handsome practicing sword!"
Yuna nodded: "Yes."
Hearing her affirmation, Qianshou Lang was obviously very happy, and his eyes were full of little stars: "Brother showed his talent in swordsmanship when he was very young. When he practiced swords before, there would be young girls Come take a peek."
"Eh?" She listened to Qianshoulang's words, thought about the scene, and couldn't help but find it very funny, "What about now? Will there still be girls peeking at Mr. Purgatory practicing sword practice?"
"Not anymore, because my brother doesn't stay at home very much, and spends most of his time outside performing tasks." Qian Shoulang picked up a sweet plum and stuffed it into his mouth, his mouth was full, "It's so sour and sweet! So sour and so good Sweet! And ah, those girls will be kicked out by their father..."
As soon as the words fell, there was a "bang" sound, and the sliding door was pushed open roughly, and a middle-aged man with a hunchback stood sideways at the door, shouting: "Qianjulang, are you going to finish your drink? Today Remember to go out and buy!"
This is a man in his forties, his chin is full of stubble, his eyes are a little cloudy, and he looks very depressed.Seeing him, Qianshou Lang quickly put down his chopsticks and saluted: "Yes, Father."
It turns out that this man is the father of Xing Julang and Qian Julang, the head of the family who drank all day and stayed behind closed doors.
Senjuro's father stood crookedly at the door, his eyes glanced at Yuu
Na's body.He frowned unhappily, pointed at the stranger, and said, "Who is this woman? Did Xing Shoulang bring it back?"
Qian Shoulang hurriedly explained: "Yes, yes, she is my brother's guest, surnamed Yuxi..."
"Anyway, he's a stupid guy thinking of marrying Xingjurou again!" Senshourou's father snorted, looked indifferently at Yuna who was a little overwhelmed, and mocked, "I advise you to accept this idea quickly! Don't think that he is some kind of 'Yanzhu' or 'Yanzhu', that he is great, and you just want to marry him!"
"Father, please, please don't do this..." Qianshoulang wanted to stop him, but his obedience and fear of his father prevented him from speaking loudly, and his eyes were about to shed tears.
However, Qianshoulang's father didn't mean to stop, and instead emphasized his tone: "The ghost killers are all the same thing, their own talents are limited, but they have to find evil spirits that are many times more powerful than humans, and hit the stones with eggs, and in the end It will only kill you in vain! Even if it is a pillar of flame, no one can protect it, and it will kill the people around you! Be smart, and get away from that stupid guy!"
Yuna was a little stunned after being scolded, but Senjuro's father had already slammed the sliding door, and walked away with heavy steps.
Sitting across from her, Senjuro couldn't bear the tears again, and began to cry softly.Yuna had no choice but to put down her chopsticks and comfort him first: "Okay Senjuro, it's okay, it's okay, you won't lose meat if you say a few words..."
Qianshoulang was aggrieved: "I'm worried... hiccup... Miss Ukita, you...you..."
"I'm fine." She took the opportunity to lick Qianshoulang's hairy head again, "It's just a misunderstanding, and it will be fine if I have a chance to solve it later."
After a while of consolation, Senjuro stopped crying.The two finished their breakfast facing each other and put away the tableware.Because of his father's instructions, Senjuro had to go out to buy wine; it happened that Yuna also wanted to buy some clothes, so he went out with Senjuro.
The streets of the town are very clean, and there are shops one after another, such as bran houses, tung oil shops, and fish cake shops.The housewife with her sleeves tied up and a bun in a bun sits in the store and greets the guests, while the barefoot children play spinning tops by the canal, laughing childishly.
Qianshou Lang led her across the street, and talked about his father with some embarrassment: "Actually, my father didn't have this temper before..."
"Something happened."
"Hmm... Our Purgatory family has hunted ghosts for generations, and the head of each generation will inherit the position of Yanzhu, and so does my father. I heard from my elder brother that my father was very good at swordsmanship when he was young, and my elder brother learned his swordsmanship from his father. but……"
"Huh?" "My mother died of illness when she was very young. Her death had nothing to do with ghosts, it was just a simple illness. My father blamed himself for this, thinking that he was too busy hunting ghosts and was away from home all year round. I didn't realize that my mother was already dying. My brother said that my father had changed a little since then... However, I was too young to remember at that time, and I didn't know what my father was like before." "That's okay Understood."
"My father, who lost his mother, became more devoted to hunting evil spirits. 'I even lost my wife in order to hunt ghosts, so I must continue to fight ghosts...' The elder brother said that when his father was drunk, he once Said such a thing."
"It makes sense."
"However, since I don't know when, my father got tired of hunting ghosts, so he let go of Yanzhu's responsibility, quit the ghost killing team, and came back home." Qian Shoulang looked at the sky in distress, " He said that ghosts are inexhaustible, and human talents are limited, which is a waste of time."
As Yuna listened, she probably had an idea in her heart.It is estimated that Senjuro's father encountered an unrivaled ghost, so he lost confidence in hunting ghosts.
So why are there such troublesome things as ghosts in this world!You see, Yueyan is very annoying, she has lied to her for so long with a fake face and a fake name, which made her afraid to go home without worrying about making the wrong payment.She still doesn't know what kind of ghost Yueyan looks like (really ghostly), it's like two people dating online, until the last step, she doesn't know how many eyes and ○○ the other party has.
Looking at that Yansheng again, he knew to follow her every day.Hundreds of years have passed and you still harass married women, you are a ghost, you live a long life, you are amazing, huh?
She slandered in her heart, with a gentle smile on her face, listening to Qianshourou's words.
Qian Shoulang said again: "After my elder brother became Yanzhu, my father's attitude towards my elder brother was very bad. However, my father was still very friendly to me. He said that I have no talent in swordsmanship, which is a good thing."
"If you don't have the talent for swordsmanship, you don't have to go to the front line to fight ghosts. Lingfu is worried about your safety, Senshouro," she said.
Qian Shoulang touched the back of his head and laughed when he heard the words: "I think so too. Elder brother also understands...Although father looks very difficult to get along with, his heart is still with us."
After talking, the two arrived at the shop where they bought wine.Qian Shoulang is obviously a regular customer. As soon as he appeared at the door of the store, the boss called his wife to get a drink: "It's Qian Shou Lang! Go get a drink."
Taking advantage of his wife's time to drink, the boss lay down on the counter and chatted with Qianshourou: "I heard that Mr. Xingjulang is back! How long have you lived in the town this time? If he's not here, I don't even feel safe! "
Xing Shoulang said very politely: "I'm sorry, this... Please forgive me, I'm not sure."
The boss laughed loudly: "This time the wine will be free! Remember to say hello to my helper Xing Shoulang."
Obtained items · free wine x 3 (cost: being rua headed by the couple in the tavern)
Senjuro turned around with the wine jar in his hand, the hair that had been rubbed by the proprietress of the tavern was in a wild mess.He smoothed his hair with two fingers with great difficulty, and said to Yuna: "Miss Ukita, let's go, next is the clothes..."
He was talking, when suddenly the voices of several children came from the side of the road: "Qian Shou Lang! Qian Shou Lang! Come out to play?"
It turned out to be three or four boys, the young one looked 12 years old, the older one looked like a 16-year-old boy, holding squid kites and Karuta cards in their hands, and greeted Qianjurou from a distance: "The sun flower field is blooming, we want to Going to a picnic. Are you coming?"
Senshouro was about to shake his head and refuse, when the leading boy noticed Yuna behind Senshouro, and asked curiously: "Chishouro, who is behind you? I've never seen it before in this town!"
Qianshoulang said, "It's my brother's guest."
The boys had that "woo hoo hoo" look, as if they saw the coin being thrown right at the shrine
It looks like the center of the prayer box: "Master Xingshoulang's guest...? We all understand! It's the same as the one from Tiger Tai's house before! The one who passed the door in the second year..."
The boy named Hu Tai refused to admit defeat and yelled: "That's a marriage that my brother promised since he was a child!"
"Hutai, your brother's wife is a bit fierce! Look at the guests of the Purgatory House, she doesn't look fierce at all! She's also very beautiful! Hahahaha..."
Seeing the boys laughing and laughing, Senshouro suddenly felt a sense of turmoil in his heart.Because there is no mother or elder sister in the family, he feels a little envious when teenagers of the same age complain about being scolded by their mother or called to run errands by their elder sister.However, today it was the other way around, and it was the turn of his playmates to envy him.
"Miss Ukita, let's go." Senjuro said goodbye to the boys, and said to Yuna beside him.
Yuna was wondering what the group of teenagers were talking about, so she nodded.Yuna went to the pawn shop first and pawned her engagement ring; this is a small place, and no matter how expensive the jewelry is, she can't sell it for a few dollars, so she also admitted it.The two of them went to the tailor shop again and bought some women's clothes.
Back at Purgatory's house, Qianshoulang was busy preparing the next meal. When Xingshoulang saw him, he took the initiative to take over the job of delivering the wine: "I'll take the wine to my father."
Qianshou Lang was still a little worried: "Father may be drunk."
"It's fine." Xing Shoulang said, "I'll just go."
The two brothers finished their work, and Yuna knelt under the eaves, picking up the things she just bought from the street.In addition to clothes and wine, Senshouro also bought some ingredients and bean paste buns.I don't know how much this brother loves to eat bean paste buns...
She was wandering around with the oil paper bag containing the bean paste bag when she heard a heavy slamming door from the room.Immediately, Xing Shoulang's father yelled angrily: "Stop hanging around in front of me! Don't think I don't know, you're going to seek death again in a few days!"
Then, there was another blunt bang, as if the furniture had been overturned.Yuna was a little worried, and quickly put down the ingredients in her hand, and ran towards the house barefoot.
"Mr. Purgatory..."
Sure enough, it was Xing Jurou's father who got angry at his son, who was a member of the Demon Slayer, again.The former Yan Zhu was slumped, holding a wine jar, pointing at his son's calm smiling face, and said angrily: "Hurry up and quit the ghost killing team. You are destined to be unable to protect anyone."
Seeing Yuna appearing in front of the door, Xingjulang's father turned his anger on her again.He yelled at Xing Shoulang angrily: "If you don't want to kill this woman, you should quickly break the boundaries with her!"
No matter how angry his father was, Xing Shoulang just showed a high-spirited smile, fully accepted his father's anger, and did not show any dissatisfaction.He is like a sea of flames, all the gloom and dust falling into it will be turned into fiery waves.
Yuna looked at Xingshourou's face, and couldn't help but want to speak for him: "But, Xingshoulang-sama protected me."
Xing Shoulang's father was stunned.
"The one who appeared in front of me at that time was one of Kamizuru's ghosts. Even so, Master Anjurou came to save me without hesitation; otherwise, I would not stand in front of you.... In short, he is real protected me."
"One of the top strings..." Xing Shoulang's father murmured in a daze, with a strange expression on his face, "You are not dead, it's your luck! Next time we meet again, you will definitely be killed
of. ”
After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man turned around dejectedly, entered his room that smelled of alcohol, moved the door and closed it, and he was no longer seen.
"Are you all right, Mr. Purgatory?" Yuna asked Kyojuro.
"Of course." Xing Shoulang didn't change his expression, "Father has always been like this, I'm used to it. But..." He raised his arms and showed his cuffs, "Just now the sleeves were scratched by the corner of the table..." Sure enough, There was a tear in his sleeve.I don't know how much his father lost his temper with him to make such a fuss.
Yuna remembered that Senjuro left the needle and thread in the dining room, so she said, "Take off your clothes and give them to me, and I'll mend them."
"Oh!" Xing Julang's eyes lit up, "Thank you so much, Ukita." After he finished speaking, he pulled the hem of his clothes out of the hakama on the spot, took off the top and handed it to Yuna in front of Yuna. she.
Yuna: ...
You really took it off on the spot, Mr. Purgatory! !
Xing Shoulang didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with the current situation, and thanked her solemnly with his upper body bare.His long career of practicing swords and hunting ghosts has given him a good physique. Although he is not as tall as Yu Mao to make people feel very oppressive, he is also very strong and powerful.
Yuna sighed, and took the clothes from him.She found a sewing kit, sat down under the eaves, and began to look for silk threads that matched the color of the clothes with her legs hanging down.
Xing Shoulang didn't even look for clothes to wear, just sat upright and shirtless, sitting next to her and watching her sewing.As long as Yuna moved her peripheral vision, she could catch a glimpse of the muscles on the guy's shoulders and the loose long hair with a gradient of red and yellow.
"Thank you for speaking for me." Xing Shoulang said while watching her mending clothes, "It is the duty of a person born to be strong to help the weak. So don't worry about what my father said, I will continue to stay in the ghost kill the team."
Yuna glanced at the shirtless incumbent Yan Zhu, and said, "I'm not worried at all that you will quit the Ghost Slayer Squad. With that kind of smile and eyes, you can see that you are a very determined person."
"Really?" Xing Shoulang laughed, his eyebrows were a little crooked.
"However, I doubt that Senshouro will get tired of mending your clothes in the future." Yuna bit the tail of the thread with her teeth and said vaguely, "Even if it's my own brother, he always comes here with torn clothes. It would be a headache."
Xing Shoulang rubbed his head, looking a little embarrassed: "I'm a ghost hunter..."
To fight, there must be damage to clothing.In other words, just a little bit of torn clothes is a good result, at least the person has no missing arms and legs, and his life is still preserved.
Yuna tied the thread and handed over the sewn jacket: "Here, it's mended."
Xing Shoulang put the clothes on his upper body, finally he was not naked.He looked very relieved: "Yu Xita, I am too much trouble for you. If there is anything that needs my help, please let me know."
Yuna thought for a while, then moved her eyes to the top of Xingjulang's head, and then remembered the feeling of touching his brother's head, and made a shameful request: "Mr. Purgatory, can I touch your hair?"
◎The author has something to say:
Mr. Purgatory, can I touch your ○○?
/ / /
Wu Mi: My mother changed my name to Zhen Mi, Ghost Dance Tsuji is really miserable
/ / /
Information that can be disclosed now: The difficulty of the strategy is from easy to difficult.
Ghosts are not bound by human concepts and are easier to engage in, so handsome ghosts are all at the beginning of the plot.
For example, Wu Mi, who is much stronger than humans, can kill ladies at any time, so he came up with the idea of keeping them in captivity until the end of the year and then killing them at the New Year's Eve dinner table.
The second is Tong Mo, who loves to play by nature.
Besides, Yansheng, Yansheng is actually more difficult to deal with in ghosts, so he has a separate episode.
On the side of the Ghost Killing Squad, Yu Mao, a man who talks about his three wives and is very familiar with Huajie, seems to have the highest degree of ease.
When it comes to Xing Shoulang, this big brother Yanzhu who is upright, principled, father, brother, and elder, can't simply and rudely check his eyes and get it right, he has to get away with it.
Now everyone understands why the super invincible straight man in the universe and everyone's stupid Tomioka Giyuu are put at the end...
