[Comprehensive] Love and Hunter

Chapter 160 160

Senjurou's hair was messed up by his elder brother.He squinted his eyes struggling, and asked under his elder brother's hand: "What is 'I think too much'? It means... Elder brother actually likes Miss Ukita and wants to marry her, doesn't he?"

When he said this, Chishouro had expectations in his eyes.

Facing his younger brother's expression, Xing Shoulang couldn't say what he wanted to say for a moment—the sentence "Ukita is already married to someone else" sounded a little cruel.

Senshouro seldom made such requests to himself, or in other words, his sensible and mature younger brother hardly asked himself for anything.Senjuro, who lost his mother before he could remember, has never felt the love from female elders; he was still a teenager, and he took on the responsibility of taking care of the whole family.

If his hope is broken, it will definitely make his already sentimental brother shed tears.

Xing Shoulang was quiet for a long time, and took back the hand rubbing his brother's hair.He lowered his head a little, was at eye level with his younger brother, and said with a smile, "You can't be so abrupt. To Ms. Ukita, we are just strangers who haven't known each other for long."

——Let’s just use this excuse to procrastinate.

After hearing what his brother said, Senshouro blinked, smiled and said, "I understand what brother means."

"That's good." Xing Shoulang said.

Chijuro quickly ran away.Looking at his back, Xing Shoulang was silent for a long time.

At night, the purgatory family became quiet.

Purgatory Xingjulang returned to his room after taking a bath, and lay down in the quilt.His slightly tired body urged him to go to bed early, but after closing his eyes, he lost all sleepiness.Even tossing and turning, there was no sign of falling asleep.

What was even more strange was that a figure slowly emerged in front of his eyes which was originally dark.This figure is woven like water, and it is like a dream.It lingers and never disappears.

He tried his best to see the face of that person clearly, but there was always a hazy white mist in front of his eyes.A sea of ​​golden sunflowers undulates in the summer wind, and the huge flower discs are open to the sky, chasing the never-ending scorching sun.

Faintly, it seems that someone is reciting a waka: "The time to meet each other is so rare, and the sun is so rare..." A pair of eyes looked over through the mist, and the blue piece looked like the clear sky after the rain, and also like the sky after the rain. It's the blinding trick of the sun.

Xing Shourou couldn't fall asleep at all.

He blinked in the dark, and simply sat up slowly.Moonlight leaked in through the crack of the door and fell on the tatami.

It's better to go out for a walk.he thought to himself.

With a soft sound, he moved the paper door away.The courtyard under the moonlight was very quiet, and the three-color carps in the pond seemed to be asleep too. There was a shimmering and quiet moonlight on the ripples, and they all dispersed when the night wind blew.

Passing a corner along the corridor is the room where the guests live.

He walked forward slowly, looking at the night of the pond.

I'm just taking a casual walk, maybe I'll fall asleep in a while—he said to himself in his heart——it's so late, Ukita must be asleep; even if I appear rashly, it won't disturb her rest.

With this in mind, he approached Yuna's room.

But to his surprise, there was a woman's back sitting on the corridor.She was only wearing thin white pajamas, her bare feet were hanging down the corridor, swaying slowly.The black hair tied randomly with a hair tie was shining like silk; the beautiful curved neck under the moonlight seemed to be made of dew.

Xing Shoulang was slightly startled, and wanted to retreat, but it was too late.The sound of his footsteps startled Yuna, she turned her head, looked at the person in surprise, and asked, "Mr. Purgatory, are you still awake?"

A pair of azure blue smiling eyes slightly curved up.

Obviously he didn't do anything wrong, but just came here for a walk, but Xing Shoulang's heart was slightly disturbed, as if he saw an opponent he couldn't match.

But soon he calmed down, showed his usual smile, and replied, "That's right. I'm going to leave home tomorrow to perform a mission, and I can't fall asleep for the time being, so I got up and took a walk. Are you too? Ukita."

"Yeah," Yuna said, "I had so much fun during the day, I still can't sleep now."

Xing Shoulang approached her and knelt down beside her.He was still in the same posture as if he was meeting the lord, sitting with his legs apart, his hands neatly placed on his knees.

"Thank you today." Xing Shoulang said.

"Eh?" Yuna was puzzled, "Why should you thank me?"

"Ah...it's because of Senjuro," he said, "he has been staying at home alone, and he hasn't gone out to play so happily in a long time. To be honest, my brother is not competent for his job and is always busy outside. Ghost hunting. He was obviously very happy when you accompanied him to the flower field today."

"...Is that so?" Yuna smiled slowly, "Actually, I should be the one to thank. It's been a long, long time since I left my own family... I can't remember how long I haven't seen them. But, When I'm with Senjuro, I feel like I'm at home."

Whether it's the brothers of the purgatory family or this small town, it gives people the same feeling-time is very slow, very quiet, flowing quietly, as if stolen from elsewhere; Flower plates, plums in bowls, pine bugs and golden bell bugs chirping.

It was light bliss, it felt good, she liked it. "You have also heard about the matter of Senshourou," Xingshourou lowered his head, and his smile disappeared a little.He said, "Senjuro... doesn't have the talent for swordsmanship, nor can he become a ghost hunter. For him, this may be a good thing-I hope he can focus on what he wants to do and walk a path that belongs to him. His own way. Don't have to go down the same way as me because I'm a ghost hunter as a brother and because he's also from Purgatory."

When Yuna heard this, she nodded and said softly, "Yes. If you don't hunt ghosts, you don't have to be with death. Maybe Senjuro can live a carefree life."

She turned her head sideways and whispered, like a quietly blooming gardenia, the petals of which opened softly in the night.Looking at her side face, Xing Shoulang suddenly began to think - what will it be like in the flower field when the sunflowers bloom next year?Will there still be those golden waves, and sisters in shell-pattern bathrobes holding hands to catch cicadas?

At that time, was he still hunting ghosts?Is it still Yan Zhu?In this world, are there still evil spirits eating people?

"Is Mr. Purgatory hot?" she asked suddenly.

"Ah?" Xing Shoulang came back to his senses, "No, it's not hot, what's the matter..."

"Your face is a little red." She muttered, looking a little worried, "Don't you have a fever..."

"...No! No!" Xing Shoulang immediately denied, "It's the sun—no, no, I mean, the moon... No, no, it's too hot tonight." light.The moon in the sky seemed to be silently laughing at his panic, and hid behind the clouds.

Facing his embarrassment, the woman didn't feel depressed, but just showed a smile on her face. "Tomorrow..." Yuna slowly lowered her eyes, "Mr. Purgatory will be leaving the house tomorrow, to carry out the mission."

"Yes," Xing Shoulang replied, "However, just go to the nearby mountain, it's not far away, and you won't encounter the dangerous winding ghost. Don't worry, I'll be home soon."

"Of course I believe in Mr. Purgatory's strength, you are the famous 'Pillar of Flame'." Yuna said, "However, I hope this time, you don't damage the cloak or clothes—otherwise it will be difficult to sew them up again." It’s troublesome. Did I say it? Even if Senjuro is your younger brother, he would be worried if he always faces a lot of torn clothes.”

Xing Shoulang smiled awkwardly: "Oh, this..."

Yuna looked up at the moonlight in the sky, and said: "It's very late, I'll go back to rest first. Mr. Purgatory, please rest earlier." She stood up and bowed to Xingshourou.

"Well, you go back," Xing Shoulang said.

The woman gave him a friendly smile and walked towards the room.Xing Shoulang watched her back until she disappeared behind the crack of the door, and then he looked away.

The moonlight tonight is really tanning, making his face a little hot.But he thinks the moonlight is good tonight, at least he has never liked the night so much.

/ / /

The next day, Xing Shoulang will set off to perform the task.

In the early morning of Purgatory House, the sun shines through the tops of the willow trees and falls on the lawn of the courtyard, and a few dewdrops glisten on the tip of the grass.In front of the house, Senjurou and Yuna stood together, saying goodbye to Kyojurou.Kyojuro had already changed into the black uniform of the Demon Slayer Squad, and tied the flame-patterned cloak around his shoulders.Putting on his uniform, he was particularly majestic, more intimidating than usual.

"Come back soon, brother." Qian Shoulang said with some reluctance.

Xing Shoulang nodded, and reached out to touch his brother's hair: "Of course! My family is waiting for me at home, of course I have to come back early." Then, his eyes moved to Yuna.

The woman didn't say much, but stood quietly behind Qianshourou with a gentle smile on her face.She is wearing a light cherry-colored kimono with a red plum-colored sash. This color is very light, like the boundary line between winter and spring, and it suits her very well.

"Is there anything... Do you want a gift I brought back along the way?" Xing Shoulang asked, gesticulating, "The women in the town like to buy lace umbrellas, which are a kind of Western thing. Do you like it?"

But the woman shook her head, bowed to him and said, "I don't need anything, it's enough for Mr. Purgatory to come back safely."

"That's good." Xingjulang looked down at his younger brother, "Uh, then, Senshourou, do you want Lace's umbrella..."

"No." Senshouro's small eyes

A little disdainful, "Brother, don't give me things that you can't give away."

Xing Shoulang: ...

"Really..." He laughed, "Forget it, I'm leaving."

Xing Shoulang turned around and embarked on a journey away from home.As he walked, he touched his cuffs, secretly hoping that he would not encounter any difficult opponents this time, at least not to damage his clothes again.

Xing Shoulang left, but the life of the purgatory family still has to go on.

It's just that the little brother Senshouro seems a little weird recently - he will still be in charge of all the housework at home as before, such as laundry, drying clothes, cleaning the yard, mowing the lawn, cooking, washing dishes, virtuous like a man Mother(……).But he occasionally asks Yuna some weird questions——

"Miss Ukita, have you thought about what the child's name will be in the future?"

"Well, well... I haven't thought about it." Yuna said, "I'm still young."

— These are the strange questions.

After about three days, Xing Shoulang came back.On the morning when he was going home, Senshouro had already received the letter, and got up early in the morning to clean the courtyard.Not only that, he also rushed into Yuna's room with a joyful look, and said to her, "Brother, brother is back!"

"Yes, yes." Yuna said with a smile while tidying up the house, "I see, I'll go meet him now."

Senjuro went to wait at the door of the house very early. Although he was holding a broom and pretending to be sweeping the courtyard, lest his father see him and think he was lazy, but he was actually absent-minded and kept looking out of the courtyard door.There was a row of thorns on the living fence made of willow branches, and his small head poked out between the thorns, like a cat stuck in the gaps in the fence, looking around at the neighbors with his eyeballs.

A morning passed, and finally, Senshouro's head whispered on the willow fence: "Brother is back!"

The next moment, he rushed to the door and opened it: "Brother!"

Sure enough, Xing Shoulang's figure appeared there.He was no different from when he left, but he was a little dusty, with some dust on his face.

"I'm back. Senshourou, and..." Kyojuro, who had just returned home, glanced left and right, but didn't see Yuna; but the next moment, he heard the voice, "Welcome home."

It was the beautiful sunlight that fell on the corridor, and it was warm everywhere.The same is true for the woman bathed in light.

Xing Shoulang wanted to talk to her a little bit, telling her that the sunshine on the road was very good.

There were people working in the paddy fields, and white frangipani flowers bloomed on the green and rotten leaf-colored fence; the child ran over barefoot, splashing mud spots on his trouser legs.

but……

"I'm back." Xing Shoulang finally said that.

"Mr. Purgatory, are your clothes damaged?" The woman asked him directly as she stepped down from the corridor and stepped into her clogs.

At this moment, Xing Shoulang suddenly retreated a little.He laughed embarrassingly, and said haha: "Ah, this mission is really dangerous! Do you know that? That ghost is very cunning, he actually ambushes in the restaurant I often go to! I only ate half of it Beef rice, it was overturned...! What a waste! Do you know how delicious that beef rice is?"

Seeing the way Xing Julang talked about him, Yuna knew something

up.She tilted her head, looked at Xing Shoulang sideways, and said, "Mr. Purgatory shouldn't have torn his clothes again, right?"

"That beef rice is really delicious! It's delicious, delicious, very delicious." Xing Shoulang said seriously.

Yuna: ...

"Okay, that's enough. Hand over the clothes, and I'll sew them." Yuna smiled and shook her head, "I know beef rice is delicious, Mr. Purgatory."

The last words were a bit helpless, as if he had already surrendered and begged for mercy, and he did not plan to pursue the fault of the other party for not treating the clothes properly.

Seeing this, Xing Shoulang finally breathed a sigh of relief.He opened his cape a little, revealing his uniform.I saw a crack on the abdomen, I don't know if it was cut by a knife or by some sharp instrument.

When Yuna saw it, she was a little worried: "It's such a long cut... Are you injured?"

"Don't worry, I'm definitely not injured," Xing Shoulang said with a smile, "Ordinary ghosts can't hurt me, and it's over within two moves. Except for the beef rice, there is no loss."

Yuna: ...

All right, all right, I know you're very hungry, and I'll have dinner in a while.

Seeing the two talking, Senjuro showed a happy smile on the side.He said: "I'll prepare Chinese food first, please talk first, Yukita, brother." After speaking, the kid ran away secretly. "Okay, come here, hand over the torn clothes." Yuna walked into the house, rummaged through the low table, and found the sewing kit.There was no light in the house, and the light was dim, so she sat down on the corridor.

Just like last time, Xing Shoulang simply took off his robe and handed it to her.

"Wait a minute—well...forget it." Yuna, who wanted to stop him, saw that he had taken off his clothes indiscriminately and exposed his bare upper body. She had no choice but to stop him Intent, sighed, "Ah, really..."

As Xing Shoulang said, he was not injured; there were no new wounds on that vigorous and beautiful body.

"According to Mr. Purgatory's efficiency, I'm afraid one team uniform is not enough for you to wear for a month. Will the Ghost Killing Squad distribute new uniforms?" She picked out the black silk thread, stretched out two strands, and said slowly.

Ok……

In fact, the Ghost Killing Team will issue new team uniforms.However, Xing Shoulang does not want to ask for a new team uniform for the time being.Now, he suddenly wanted to see Yuna sitting here sewing clothes - the appearance of carefully threading the black thread through the eye of the needle, biting the end of the thread and knotting it, looked very attractive.

Like an Ayaha shuttlecock kicked up by a child, it froze in the air before hitting the ground.Everyone looked up, expecting the crisp sound when the copper plate on the shuttlecock fell to the ground.This small happiness is infinitely stretched, stretched, stretched, and it will never end.

"Ukita, when I came back from outside..." Xing Shoulang said suddenly, looking at the cedar tree in the courtyard.

"Huh?" The woman lowered her head, focusing on the needlework in her hands.

"The weather is fine and the sun is warm. The frangipani flowers are also in bloom in the field, and they are white. Many little ghosts are playing in the field. They are a little younger than Senjuro. Probably because there is a market in the town. Didn't stay at home..."

"Yes." She listened, still bowing her head

Look at the needle.

"Ah, and, I brought you a present." Xing Shoulang said.

"A lace parasol?" Yuna asked.

"No!" Xing Julang said sternly, "It's a bento of beef rice."

Yuna: ...

She couldn't help laughing, and imitating Xing Shoulang's example, she said, "It's delicious, it's delicious—it's delicious."

"But it's really delicious..." Xing Julang seriously handed over the bento box wrapped in cloth, "I got it after a long line of hard work."

Yuna confused panda head.jpg

You, eating pillar?

A leaf floated down in circles and landed on the top of her hair.Xing Shoulang stretched out his hand, intending to pluck the leaf on top of her head, but his hand was a little disobedient, and accidentally reached towards her cheek.

"There are leaves..." he said, but his rough fingertips touched the woman's cheek.

Because of holding the knife all year round, there was a large callus on his finger, which was hard and rough, completely different from the woman's delicate skin.Yuna froze slightly, looking a little at a loss.

At this moment, the cry of a crow came from the courtyard.Xing Shoulang withdrew his hand like an electric shock, and apologized: "I'm sorry, I wanted to pick the leaves for you... Didn't hurt you?"

"No."

Xing Shoulang got up quickly and went to the court to meet the crow for communication.A small bamboo tube was tied to the crow's feet, and a letter was stuffed inside.Xing Shoulang unfolded the letter paper and said with a smile: "It's a letter from Yu Mao. He said that he has a mission and can't pick you up, but he hopes that I will send you to the lord so that you can meet directly."

Yuna froze for a moment, then smiled joyfully: "It's as long as Master Tianyuan is fine."

A very bright smile, completely different from the usual gentleness and indifference.Looking at her smiling face, Xing Shoulang suddenly recalled: She is Umo Tengen's wife, so of course she should be concerned about her husband.

"Hmm... Yumao is very powerful, and he won't be easily defeated." Xing Shoulang said.

"Then, when can I see Lord Tianyuan?" Yuna asked hopefully.

"Let's... take a while." Xing Shoulang blinked and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely send you back to Yubi's side safely, this is my duty."

Yes, his duty.

He was born to use his strength to help the weak, not to harm the weak.Returning a homeless wife to the husband she misses is what he must do.

The woman looked happy.

Xing Shoulang looked at her and said, "Ukita, I will trouble you with the team uniform. I... I will find a piece of clothing to wear first, and go for a walk outside. There are still some things to deal with, and I will be right back."

Saying that, Xing Shoulang turned and left in front of her.

He changed into a uniform and walked out of the town along the street in front of the door.The vast field of sunflowers still looks the same as a few days ago, a clear golden color, and all the flower discs are open towards the sky.A gust of scorching wind blew, the sea of ​​flowers swayed slightly, and Xing Shoulang's sleeves were filled with the wind.The conversation between the two that day seemed to be faintly audible in the wind.

"Sunflowers are transformed by a woman whom one loves in one's heart."

"Then, if a sunflower is a girl, how many girls in this field have fallen in love with the same man?"

"After all, it's just a legend."

"In Tokyo, what does the sunflower represent, does Mr. Purgatory know?"

"I know. It's a symbol of 'brilliance' and—"

with admiration.

——The so-called "love" means standing in the flower field forever and silently, waiting for the sun in your heart.Cannot be chased, cannot be approached.

No matter how many days and nights have passed, there will be no shortening between the sky and the earth.
