Chapter 159 159
"Mr. Purgatory, can I touch your hair?"
This request was completely unexpected by Purgatory Xingshourou.However, he was a generous person, and immediately corrected his kneeling posture, lowered his head, and said loudly and righteously: "Of course! Please."
This active posture seemed like a little pet waiting in line to be petted. Seeing this, Yuna couldn't help but frown.She put her hand on the top of Purgatory Kyojurou's head, and slowly rubbed it——
Ah, it's also fluffy and fluffy, and has the same touch as his brother.
So, she couldn't help touching it twice more.
For Xing Shoulang, this is a rather delicate time.This feeling of being rubbed in his hair reminds him of returning to the age when he used to sit next to his mother when he was a child.He was still very young at that time, and although he already had a vague understanding of his own destiny, he still did not lose the expectation of a naive child for his parents.His mother would smile softly, hold him in her arms and stroke the top of his hair, and then tell him stories about the elders.
"We purgatory family are born with strength stronger than ordinary people... This kind of strength is used to protect the weak. Xing Shoulang, you are the same, you were born to protect those who need you."
That's a pretty distant memory indeed.
After his mother died, no one spoke these whispers to him again.The younger brother needs to be taken care of when he is young, and his father gradually becomes depressed on the way of hunting ghosts. He can no longer be the child nestled in the arms of his mother.
Xing Shoulang was in a trance when he suddenly noticed that the hand above his head seemed to be moving, as if...
It seems to be braiding?
Xing Shoulang was stunned for a moment, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Yuna's hands flying up and down.He stretched out his hand and touched the top of his head—two braids rose from the top of his head, and pink ribbons hung down to his shoulders.
Xing Shoulang:? ?
Like an owl that accidentally entered the universe, he looked at Yuna with blank eyes.But the instigator had no guilt, and was looking at him with a smile like a spring breeze, and said solemnly: "It seems quite suitable!"
"Where... where did you get the hairband?" Xing Shoulang was puzzled.
"I bought it today." Yuna said, "Pink is so cute."
"..." Xing Shoulang didn't want to refute her, and after a moment of silence, he showed a righteous smile and nodded in response, "Mm, very cute!"
His reaction made the woman beside him laugh out loud, her eyes were crescent-like, and there were sparkling water waves inside.No matter how much trouble I had, it dissipated when I saw her smile.Be it evil spirits, life or death, they all seem to be forgotten in this tiny moment.

When eating at night, there are red bean paste buns as usual.
Chishouro and Yuna sat down first, and Chishouro put his chopsticks while talking about things in the town: "What Tiger Tai said is true, all the sunflowers are in bloom. The weather has been very good recently, so I think--"
wow——
The sliding door opened at this moment, and Xing Shoulang walked in: "What do you have for dinner?"
"Fried tofu, salt seaweed, and herring roe... huh?
brother?what's on your head "Qian Shou Lang was talking, when he suddenly saw the two braids on Xing Shou Lang's head, he froze for a moment, like the second owl that accidentally broke into the universe, with a bewildered expression.
That... the upturned braid, the pink bow, the dangling ties...
Brother, you... (hesitant to speak)
"Is this?" Xing Shoulang touched the top of his head, looking very righteous, "Ukita tied it up for me, and we can't let the customer's efforts go to waste, so I haven't untied it all the time."
Qianshou Lang wanted to speak but stopped, stopped talking but wanted to.There were thousands of words in the throat, and finally turned into a sentence "Come, brother, eat vegetables".
"Today's dinner also looks very good!" Xing Shoulang knelt down and picked up the rice bowl, and asked again, "What were you talking about earlier? Sunflowers?"
"Ah... yes." Senshouro replied, "Brother doesn't know yet, right? The sunflower field beside the town is blooming. I want to ask Ms. Ukita if you want to go and see it together."
"Ukita, do you want to go?" Xing Julang raised his head from his rice bowl.
"Okay." Yuna smiled.She could see that it was Qianshoulang who really wanted to play, after all, Qianshoulang's group of friends ran to the flower fields every day.But she won't say it out, to save face for the little brother.
Sure enough, Qianshou Lang showed a look of joy, and he didn't even have any intention of eating dinner: "Then I will prepare something for a picnic tonight! What to bring? If you don't mind, is the egg sushi in the store okay? I I still want to fly a kite! I made a shogi kite myself, but I haven’t had a chance to take it out yet.”
"I can do anything." Yuna said, "As long as Anjurou agrees."
Senjuro should be about the same age as Tanjiro, or a little smaller than him.If he wasn't born in a family of ghost hunters, maybe he would be just like an ordinary boy.But being born in Purgatory, he took on the burden of the family early on. Apart from practicing swords by himself, he also had to take care of his drunken father and elder brother who was busy hunting ghosts.
Senshouro was looking forward to tomorrow's picnic. In the evening, he could be heard running back and forth between the kitchen and the bedroom, and the sound of clogs kicking.In the morning of the next day, he took out the two big packages that had been prepared, and smiled at Yuna and Xing Shoulang: "Everything for food and play is here!"
After speaking, he unwrapped the package and showed the contents to the two people.As the morning light fell, the young man enthusiastically took out the kites, hearty bento boxes, and paper umbrellas for sunshade.
"It's so complete." Yuna looked over her head.
After a pause, she was a little worried about the father of the two brothers, and asked, "Mr. Purgatory, what about your father? Is it okay to leave him alone at home?"
"It's okay, my father went out today." Qian Shoulang said, "He went to drink at a friend's house, which was agreed a few days ago."
"No wonder..." It turned out that this was all considered good.
"Then let's go!" Xing Shoulang clenched his fist, full of energy, "The goal is the sun flower field."
The whole family carried a few packages and left the house of purgatory.The sun is very good, reflecting the clean and spotless streets brightly.The son of the medical center was guarding the door drying herbs again, and when he saw their family going out in casual clothes, he smiled and asked, "Master Xing Shoulang, are you going to the Sun Flower Field too?"
Senshouro rushed to answer: "Yes!"
"I'm so envious!" The son of the medical center complained, shaking a basket of osmanthus twigs in his hand, "My wife and children have all gone to play, but I want to stay for consultation. Really, there are not many people Will come to patronize... Now everyone likes to find a doctor who knows Western medicine!"
"If a guest comes to the door, it will also make money!" Qian Shoulang said with a smile.
After Chishouro comforted the son of the doctor's family, he finally embarked on the journey excitedly.
On the edge of this town there are a large field, and Yuna has seen those continuous paddy fields and ridges when she came here.On the east side of the town, there is a vast field of sunflowers.There are many aliases for this plant, such as sunflower, sunflower, sunflower, canopy...the names are different in different places.When the melon seeds are ripe, they can be peeled off and fed to squirrels and birds kept in cages; when they open up, they are a whole piece of dazzling golden color, which is quite beautiful.
The three of them crossed the road between the towns and walked to the field ridge.From a distance, you can see a piece of golden sea waves, which are exactly the blooming sunflowers.As soon as the wind blows, the golden waves undulate slowly and gently, and the huge flower discs are waving towards the clear sky.There were many people on the track, and they were presumably the townspeople who came out to play when the weather was fine like them.
When Qianshou Lang saw this field of sunflowers, little stars immediately appeared in his eyes.
Xing Shoulang looked left and right for a while, pointed to a big tree with a lush canopy nearby, and said, "Let's rest here, it's shaded and it's a little cooler."
"Yes—" Qianshourou opened the package impatiently.
A long moss-patterned cloth was spread out under the shade of the trees, and the four corners were pressed with small stones.The green shade casts down, and the shadow is blown slowly on the long cloth by the wind.Xing Shoulang took off his clogs and knelt down on the long cloth.He was wearing regular clothes, with a vermilion-washed top and a satin-colored hakama, which lacked a bit of majesty, and looked more like a neighbor's elder brother.However, even when he was seated at a picnic, he actually used the split-legged kneeling posture as if meeting his lord, which made people laugh.
Is there his upper peak here?no?Only his guests and his brother.
"Brother, I saw Torata, I'm going to say hello to him!" Senjuro bent down to pick up the shogi kite he made, and pointed it at the people in the sun flower field excitedly.
"Go." Xing Julang nodded, "Say hello to the Sasaki family for me."
With his elder brother's permission, Senshouro happily ran away, the grass shoes pattered across the long track, the short chirping sound disappeared behind the petals of the sunflower, leaving only a fluffy, same bright yellow His head was still faintly visible.
Seeing that Yuna was still standing outside, Xing Shoulang patted the place beside him: "Aren't you going to sit down and rest? Ushita."
"Ah...Okay." She took off her clogs and put on the long cloth.
"Are you thirsty!" Xing Shoulang handed over the bamboo tube filled with clear water.
"Thank you." She took the bamboo tube and looked towards the field.
The gorgeous golden color spreads out endlessly in the wilderness.All the sunflowers are desperately stretching their petals, enthusiastically showing their full life in front of the sun wheel.
"The direction of the sunflower is always chasing the sun." She took a sip of clear water, holding the bamboo tube in both hands, and murmured, "It must be because the sun has incredible power."
--Do not
Incredible power refers to the sun's rays that make the auxin that annoys the light force the small flowers to grow crookedly.
Xing Shoulang thought she was puzzled, so he took the initiative to explain her doubts: "Our rumors say that the sun disc was transformed by a woman whom he fell in love with. In order to chase her sweetheart who would never turn back, that woman stood on her feet all the time. Beneath the sky, until the feet dip into the earth and the body becomes the sunburst."
"Ah?" Yuna was confused, pointing to the countless sunflowers in the field, "Then, if a sunflower is a girl, how many girls in this field must fall in love with the same man? Is that man... a heartthrob?"
Xing Shoulang: ...
He laughed and said: "After all, it's just a local legend, so don't take it seriously! If you want to study it seriously, it's easier to understand the Westerners' version. They talk about things like sunflowers and sunflowers because they like them. Light, constantly changing directions in order to grow stronger..."
This is really two people approaching science hand in hand.jpg
Xing Shoulang solemnly explained the views of Westerners on sunflowers, and then summed it up with the sentence "pressed oil is delicious".
Yuna: ...
Okay, I see that you are hungry, so I will open the bento box in a while.
"In Tokyo, what do sunflowers represent? Does Mr. Purgatory know?" She lifted a strand of hair beside her ear, and said to Xingjurou with a smile, "There are many flower fields at the foot of Mount Fuji. Sometimes, The sunflowers at the foot of the mountain are blooming, but the top of the mountain is covered with snow, which is very interesting.”
Xing Shoulang nodded: "I know. It symbolizes 'brilliance' and——"
His words came to an abrupt end here.
Symbolizes……
"Glory" and "Love".
Yes, love.
Aoi and osmanthus are both love flowers in Waka. "It's rare to meet each other every day, so rare to see each other, and seldom meet your beloved, how can you be so ruthless?" ——Standing forever and silently in the flower field, waiting for your sweetheart who is far away from you.Knowing that you can't chase, knowing that the other party is in the clouds, but still facing the sun-this is the meaning of love that Aoi represents.
For some reason, Xing Shoulang felt that his lips were stuck, and he couldn't say the word "envy" in a natural tone.He could only smile righteously and repeat it: "It symbolizes 'brilliance' and 'courage'. That's right, that's it."
"That's right!" Yuna didn't notice the difference, "That's what we say over there too. The sunburst represents the brilliance and eternal hope."
"Ah...hahaha..." Xing Shoulang laughed and looked at the track.There is a family of four walking slowly through the golden flower plate, a husband, a wife, and two daughters, one big and one small.The husband is carrying the cage net used to catch cicadas, while the wife is holding a small umbrella and carrying a bento cloth bag in her hand.The two daughters were wearing barrel-patterned bathrobes and ran forward holding hands.
This husband should be about the same age as Xing Shoulang, at most in his early twenties.As for the age of the wife...
A gust of flaming wind blew over, and Xing Shoulang's sleeves were filled with wind.He turned his head sideways and looked at the woman beside him, feeling that she was much more beautiful than that wife.
In other words, she is more beautiful than any woman Xing Shoulang has ever seen: smooth forehead and beautiful black hair, clear and soft eyes, no blood, dust and ashes, no fear, anger, hatred; no knife in the eyes Shadow and Hentai
In the long night of summer, there is only a bright and bright sunflower field.
Seeing her, people in the world will definitely think in their hearts: If they can lie in the warm blanket in winter, curl up and miss her, and then think about what kind of miso soup will be served on the table tomorrow, it must be the best. Happy thing now.
Xing Shoulang was watching Yuna, but her complexion changed slightly, and she made a sound of "Oh no", she hurriedly got up, put on her skirt and stepped on clogs, and walked towards the flower field.
"Eh?" Xing Julang was stunned for a second, only to realize that it was his silly younger brother and Torata who fell off the track.
Senjuro's shogi kite was still flying in the sky, and he and Kota were looking at the sky, walking backwards without looking at the ground at all.As a result, a stone appeared on the way, tripping the two half-grown boys—"Putong", "Putong", and rolled into the flower field together.
Senshouro lay on the ground, feeling a little pain in his stomach, and the slender and old green leaves of the sunflower fell down in a flutter, and he shook his head, and one piece fell off.
Hu Tai fell on the opposite side of him and was struggling to get up.But Mrs. Hu's family members had already gathered around worriedly when they saw her. They pushed aside the sunflower poles one after another, and hurriedly helped up the only son in the family.
"Ah Hu! Ah Hu, you didn't get injured from the fall, did you?"
"Why are you so careless... idiot!"
With the support of his sister and the reprimand of his mother, Tiger stood up aggrievedly.
Seeing this scene, Qianjulang, who was wearing a leaf on his head, still felt a little disdainful in his heart-ah, this injury made him cry to find his family, and Tiger Tai is indeed a child of ordinary people.The children of their purgatory family are different. They have been independent since they were young, and they suffered countless injuries when practicing swords. They are not afraid of such small pains at all.
Senjuro brushed the dust off his knees and stood up slowly.At this moment, he heard a soft voice: "Qian Shou Lang, are you alright?"
He glanced sideways, and it was Yuna running over panting, with a worried look on her face.
Qianshou Lang was stunned for a moment, with a bright smile on his face: "It's all right, it's just a fall." He swung his arms, trying to climb up from under the track.
"Don't be brave." Yuna stretched out her hand towards him, helped Senjuro get up, and took off the sunflower leaves on his head, "Okay, wipe your face, let's go eat."
The two were about to leave, but Yuna heard someone calling her: "That...the guest of the purgatory family."
"Are you looking for me?" Yuna stopped wiping Senjurou's face with a handkerchief, turned around and asked suspiciously.
"Yes! Yes!" The one who stopped her was Kota's mother, the wife of the Sasaki family.She warmly saluted Yuna and said, "My child has caused you trouble. I will ask you to take care of me in the future. Speaking of which, Master Anjurou is really a very powerful person... At the end of the speech, he covered his mouth and giggled.
Mrs. Sasaki's words seemed to mean something, but Yuna couldn't figure out what she was talking about.
Senshouro had already bid farewell to Tiger Tamara obediently, and said, "I'm going to eat, let's play later, Tiger Taler."
Mrs. Sasaki nodded lovingly, touched Kota's head, and said, "Hurry up and say goodbye to Senjurou."
"goodbye!"
"goodbye--"
Senjuro put away the kite strings in a circle, and walked back with the shogi kite.
Xing Julang in the tree
Sitting in the shade, I saw the two talking and laughing, walking slowly towards him through the golden flower field.Whether it's the brother's carefree smile or the chrysanthemum pattern on the woman's kimono, there is a kind of attractiveness that makes people yearn for.
He suddenly remembered his own sun wheel knife - although ghosts would not appear in the daytime, just in case, he still brought the sun wheel knife that never left him.Right now, the useless Sun Wheel Saber is leaning against the tree trunk, wasting time alone.
Xing Shoulang was not used to it when the sword was not on his waist.However, this feeling is quite good.Occasionally, other things should be worn around the waist, such as bean paste bags (?).
"Brother, let's have dinner!" Senshouro returned to the long cloth and opened the bento box.In addition to the freshly bought sushi and daily bean paste buns, there is also the Beef Donburi that Kyojuro never forgets.
After a while, Xing Shoulang's familiar voice sounded under the shade of the tree.
"delicious!"
"good to eat!"
“This is also quite delicious!”
"I didn't expect this sushi to taste good! Delicious! Delicious!"
By the time the three returned to Purgatory's house, it was already evening.Xingshourou pushed open the door and asked his younger brother, "It's been a long time since I've been with you like this, Senshourou. Are you having fun today?"
"Yeah." Qianjurou nodded with a smile.After a pause, he lowered his head and said, "However, I also know that brother will go out again soon, right? That's why he is willing to spend the whole day with me to the Sun Flower Field..."
Xing Shoulang did not deny it, but said: "This is the duty of the Demon Slayer team."
Qianshoulang was quiet for a moment, raised his face, and said: "I understand, brother is Yanzhu. ——Ah, by the way, where is the mission of brother this time? I will arrange it in advance Luggage."
"It's not far, it's just on the mountain in the south, and I should be back soon." Xing Shoulang said.
Senjuro seemed to want to say something, but he stopped talking.He glanced at Yuna, smiled and said, "Miss Ukita, please go and rest first!" Then he dragged his brother to the well and squatted down.
"What's wrong?" Xing Shoulang also imitated his younger brother and squatted down, asking.
"That, that..." Qianshou Lang blushed, and his mouth was a little incoherent.
"Huh?" Xing Shoulang blinked.
"Brother, can you, can you... that..." Qianshoulang pointed at his fingers, a little anxious, and there was still a little nervous water in his eyes.He glanced at Yuna, his voice became softer, "Can Miss Ukita..."
"Ok?"
"Can you keep Miss Ukita?"
Finally said these words, Senshouro's face flushed red.He had been thinking about this for a day, and he really hoped that Miss Ukita could continue to stay in this home.Since I was a child without my sister and mother, I really like this feeling.Now, all he needs to do is convince his brother.
"Brother likes her, right? I can see it!" Qianshoulang said eloquently, "Brother has never been so careful and considerate to any woman. Moreover, brother also needs a child to inherit the position of Yan Zhu. I don't have swordsmanship." Talent, then you can only wait for your brother's child to be born... Not only that, Miss Ukita's life experience is also very pitiful. I asked secretly last time, she seems to be a young lady who has not seen her for many years The family is gone. She is wandering outside, she must be lonely and helpless, if she stays here and marries her brother, she will be able to keep us company!"
Hearing his younger brother's logical words, Xing Shoulang was stunned, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
But my brother didn't stop talking.He clenched his fists and said solemnly: "It doesn't matter if my brother doesn't like Miss Yukita and doesn't want to marry her. I will grow up soon, and I will marry her when the time comes!"
When the time comes, I will marry her!
I'll just marry her!
That's it!
...?
? ?
? ? ? ?
Purgatory Xingshou Lang wore an upright and sunny smile, and rua messed up his brother's head.
"You think too much, Senjuro!"
