[Comprehensive] Love and Hunter

Chapter 240 240

The autumn night is cold, the maple trees in Songjiang City are stained with moonlight, and the pale moonlight washes among the red leaves.

Yuna walked through the gate of the castle tower and stopped outside the Ninomaru.

As an auxiliary building of the Tianshou Pavilion, this Ninomaru is smaller in scale, but it is extremely deep and elegant; the eaves are broken with ancient charm, and white sand is piled up in front of the court to create a landscape like flowing water.Maple trees are planted all over the courtyard, and it is the season of maple red. At a glance, it looks like a cluster of wildfires burning in the dark night.

Because the city lord is sick and needs to recuperate, so there are no waiters and warriors around, and it is clean.Only a partridge from nowhere uttered a mournful cry.

Yuna walked lightly, and walked towards Ninomaru's main house from the corridor.After Master Tadashi Horio fell ill, he has been living in this elegant Ninomaru, which is full of maple trees, and has never been on the battlefield again.

In the memory of Nikko Changguang, the maple trees in this garden have turned red for several rounds, and Master Tadashi Horio often enjoys the maple here.

She walked on tiptoe for a while, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a person sitting under the eaves, so she quickly shrank back and hid behind the pillar.

I saw the man under the eaves wearing a black hat, a loose brown jacket, and a juniper fan in his waist. He looked rather thin, and his clothes fell loose. appearance.

The man was holding a wine cup, staring at the surface of the wine in a daze.A red maple fluttered and fell, just falling into the wine glass.

She regained her composure and recognized that this person was her predecessor, Lord Tadashi Horio.

——Having a dream, but stopped here due to illness; Mr. Tadashi who passed away hastily after failing to repay Tokugawa Hidetada's kindness.

The moment she saw this man, she felt a hint of sadness welling up in her heart.This is the emotion that belongs to Sunshine Changguang, and it also belongs to her.

She frowned, trying her best not to have the urge to disturb her, but just watched from afar.But if she didn't pay attention, her nails scratched the beams and pillars, and she still made a rather ear-piercing sound.

A soft "squeak" alarmed the people under the eaves.Tadashi Horio, who was drinking in the courtyard, looked up slightly in astonishment, and his first reaction was not to look at the person coming, but to hide the wine cup in a hurry.He covered the jug with his cuff, and then he turned to the corridor and asked, "Who is it?"

People who are sick should not drink alcohol.Mr. Zhongshi was secretly drinking here in the middle of the night, obviously a little guilty.

Yuna didn't make a sound, and took a step back.But the corner of her dew grass-colored skirt was exposed under the railing, which made Tadashi Horio a little confused, and frowned, "...a woman? Here?"

Immediately, Zhong Shi stood up and walked towards her.

Seeing the shadow of the former master getting closer and closer.Her eyes flickered slightly, and she turned around quickly and left.

"Stop!" Zhongshi shouted, his voice weak.When he caught up with the corridor, he saw a swirl of grass-colored dresses, and a woman's back running further away.

Looking at the woman's back, Zhong was stunned for a moment, and said angrily, "Where did you come from as a thief, and you feel that you are stealing here?"

Yuna's footsteps stopped.

—Plagiarism, thief? !

She was a little unwilling.

——She didn't steal anything, so how could she become a thief?

On

With an inexplicable mentality, she stopped, turned around and said to the chasing man: "Lord Zhongshi, I did not steal anything! I am not a thief either!"

Zhongshi stopped chasing and looked at her from a distance.From her point of view, the man in front of her was tall and slender, but because of his thin stature, he looked a little weak; his face was also sickly, as pale as snow.The trot just now caused his breathing to show a bit of discomfort.

He stood still, frowned and said, "You didn't steal anything? Then tell me, what is it on your waist?"

She was startled, lowered her head, and saw the saber tied around her waist.This is also her body, the sun shines forever.

"I..." Yuna opened her mouth, a little hard to explain.

Tadashi Horio approached her, stared at the knife, and said: "This is something from my house, and it is also my favorite knife. The sun shines. It is a treasure given to my Horio clan by Xiuzhong Palace. It should be killed tonight. Enshrined on the castle tower. How did you steal it?"

Yuna couldn't argue with anything.

Well, she does wear daylight long lights which are nice, but not the daylight long lights of this day and age.How can it be called stealing to pay for mourning?

She rolled her eyes, thought of a very poor excuse, and said, "This...is...a fake. That's right, it's a fake." For God's sake, she didn't want to say that she was a fake!But there is no other explanation for this battle right now.

"Fake?" Zhong Shi coughed, reached out to untie the lower thread of the saber at her waist, and took it in his hand familiarly.He weighed the weight first, then pulled the blade out of the sheath with a "cha" sound. After repeatedly stroking the pattern of the knife, he said firmly, "This is not a fake, it is the knife from my house. The pattern is unique - Rizhao Matsuhama, the name means 'sunlight', and the scenery of Toshogu Matsuhama is used as a painting, which is why this pair of Rizhao Matsuhama knives are created. Fakes can't be done to this point."

Yuna: ...I'm a little moved.Mr. Zhongshi distinguishes his own knife so clearly.

But in this way, she couldn't explain why she held this knife.

She can't just open her mouth and say, "Hello, Mr. Zhongshi, I am Fu Sangshen of this knife. I have manifested. Please confess me quickly. Take fifty rich, elegant, erudite, gentle, gentle and gentle, and drink well!" The men of my life come to enshrine me," right?

Therefore, Yuna lowered her head and continued to remain silent, she only slightly closed her eyelids, and occasionally glanced at him from the corner of her eye.

Seeing that she was silent, Mr. Zhong seemed to have confessed to the crime of theft; so he held the knife and asked, "I think you are just an ordinary woman, why dare you come here to steal? Something bestowed by His Royal Highness Xiuzhong."

She shook her head and nodded again.

Zhongshi was a little confused.An itchy feeling rose up in his throat, Zhongshi covered his face with his sleeve, coughed a little, and said, "Are you from a poor family? Or were you sent here by someone with a heart?"

Yuna still didn't speak.

The autumn night wind was blowing slowly, she kept her head down and said nothing, looking like she was quietly waiting for her death.For some reason, she kept frowning, as if she was mourning for something.

Zhong Shi gathered the clothes on his shoulders, and gradually lost his temper.He put down the knife and said: "Forget it...you are just a weak woman, I will not make things difficult for you."

"Lord Zhongshi...?" She raised her eyes slightly and asked tentatively, "Aren't you going to deal with me? I trespassed on the city lord

The mansion, and even committed theft. "

"You are a woman." Zhongshi breathed out slowly, "Forget it. Put this knife back in its original place, and I will pretend that this has never happened.... If your family is poor, I will give it to you." You some rice."

Hearing this, she looked at Horio Tadashi with flickering eyes.

Although the man in front of him had a slightly sick look, his tone of voice was very gentle.This is not pretending, but the tenderness from the heart.Not only that, but he looked at her with a ray of regret, as if he had seen something famous fall into the dust.He probably really didn't intend to pursue her so-called "theft".

Lord Zhongshi has always been like this, he is a magnanimous and benevolent lord.

The family crest of the Horio family is gentian flower, which means "tough and long-lasting".However, the patriarchs of the Horio family have no fate with the word "long time"; generation after generation of patriarchs, as if they were cursed, most of them passed away early.It is probably because of the troubles in this life that will end at an unknown date that Mr. Zhong has such a peaceful and magnanimous temperament.

"Follow me." Zhongshi looked up at the castle tower, "Put the sword back where it was, and the guardian god of the sword will forgive you for stealing." After he finished speaking, he slowly walked towards the castle tower. to the main entrance.

The sparks were dimmed, Mr. Zhongshi was wearing a robe, and walked forward with extremely slow steps.His back was very thin, almost weak; the autumn moonlight fell, and his back was even more desolate.

Yuna followed behind him, looking at his back, couldn't help asking: "Lord Zhongshi... How is your body?"

"Huh?" Zhongshi ordered the guards to unlock the heavy lock of the pavilion door, turned sideways, and said, "It's just a minor illness, and it will recover soon. You have a heart."

It’s weird.

In Zhongshi's eyes, she is just a thief.But she cared about his condition, but he would say words of gratitude like "You have a heart".

"Is it...? Is it a minor illness?" She muttered to herself, showing a wry smile, "I hope Mr. Zhongshi will recover soon."

Zhongshi nodded.He tightened his clothes, and walked up the wooden ladder painted black to the castle tower, and said as he walked, "When I recover, I will go to Luo with my lord... Forget it, let me tell you this, you I don't understand either."

The wooden stairs creaked all the way to the top of the castle tower.When he reached the third floor, Mr. Zhong did not go up any further, but ordered someone to remove the four-fold golden lacquer screen at the top of the stairs, and said, "Sunshine Changguang was originally hidden here. How did you get in?" Who came here to steal it?"

The third floor is not high, but it is definitely not a place where ordinary thieves can climb in.Yuna twitched the corners of her mouth, seeing that Tadashi Horio was about to enter the Japanese room where the precious swords were stored, she quickly stopped him: "Wait, Master Tadashi!"

He had to figure out a way to get away with his saber.

Otherwise, Mr. Zhongshi entered the knife room with a long light, and then found that there was another long light in the knife room, then it would be a ghost.

"What's wrong?" Zhongshi coughed lightly for a while and turned to her.

"I, I have a question for you!" She said sternly, "If, one day, the sun becomes human, what do you think... what will it be like?"

"Turned into... a human?" Zhongshi chuckled and shook his head, "What kind of strange and weird question is this? A knife cannot become a human

of.However, the sword has a guardian spirit... the guardian spirit will replace Hidechuden to guard our Horio clan. "

She quickly said, "Just say 'if'. If you just think about it, it's okay, right?"

Zhong looked at her, exhaled slowly, calmed down, and said, "If Sunshine Changguang becomes a human being, he must be... like Matsuhama Rizhao."

"Then..." She clutched her cuffs and asked again, "If Sunshine Changguang is a useless knife...it has neither performed meritorious service on the battlefield, nor been out of a cage, and has been burned by fire...you will treat it Angry?"

Zhong Shi showed a surprised look.

"Riguang Changguang is not such a knife." Zhong said calmly, "Although he has not made meritorious service on the battlefield, but sooner or later he will. I will always take it to serve the lord. As for what you said "Locked in a cage" and "burned in a fire" or something, that's nonsense. I don't know where you heard such rumors, but my favorite knife has never been Been through these things."

After a pause, Zhongshi laughed again: "However, if it really experienced these things, I wouldn't really be angry with a knife. There is no good or bad in the knife, it all depends on the person who uses it. It cannot be used for a long time by sunlight. Just meritorious service, that is my incompetence, and has nothing to do with the knife."

Yuna opened her mouth without explaining.

It is true that the current Changguang has not encountered those things.But after it returned to Tokugawa's house, it would be locked in a box for hundreds of years and never be taken out again until the Ming Dynasty fire that burned most of Edo City.

"Is there anything else?" Zhongshi asked her, "You are really a brave person. You broke into here to steal, and you dare to ask me these questions... Whose wife are you from? It's amazing."

She shook her head and said, "I'm just an ordinary person. Mr. Zhongshi, do you want to open the door? Let me hold that knife for you."

Tadashi nodded, handed the small sword in his hand to Yuna, turned around and slowly opened the sliding door.Pushing the door open, he said indifferently: "Except for the time of going to the battlefield, the long light of the sun has been enshrined here. This sword is a gift from the Tokugawa family, and it is also the guardian spirit of our Horio clan..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhongshi's eyes fell on the altar at the end of the Japanese room; immediately, his face revealed a look of surprise——on the altar, lay a carefully maintained small Taidao; Hahama, Shimo is bright red, which is the long light of daylight bestowed on him by Tokugawa Hidetada.

"...how come?" Zhongshi was extremely surprised.

He had clearly confirmed that the sword in the woman's hand was authentic, so he presumed that she stole the sunlight from the sword room in the castle tower.But the scene in front of him clearly shows that Sunshine Changguang has never been stolen, and has been kept in the knife room in good condition.

Then, what happened to the long sunlight on the girl's hand?

Zhongshi turned around, wanting to ask her.But unexpectedly, there was nothing behind Zhong Shi, and there was not even half a person.He searched around inside and out, but couldn't see any traces of people at all.

The girl seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

How did it work?This is the third floor of the Tianshou Pavilion, a place where you can't escape.

Tadashi Horio was stunned with a sick face.He remembered the question that the girl asked just now, and muttered to himself: "Could it be...the sun is shining...the real guardian spirit, has it appeared?"

moonlight

In the Qing Dynasty, there was a garden of red maple trees, but no one responded.

Lord,

I met the former master, Lord Tadashi Horio.He was ill and looked very ill.I have thought about the question "Is there anything I can do for him", but the answer is "There is nothing to do".

Mr. Zhongshi said that he would never be angry with a useless knife; because a knife is a human weapon, and the useless is the owner of the knife, not the knife.The more gentle Mr. Ke Zhongshi is, the more guilty I feel.

"I want to do something for those who need me", this kind of thought keeps popping up in my mind.

I wonder if everything is safe there?

Please take care of yourself, my lord.I will still go to the letter.

After folding the second letter, Foxnosuke quickly took the letter away.

"Have you met the First Lord? How do you feel?"

On the outskirts of Matsue Castle, the autumn night was chilly, and Izumi Mori Kanesada lit a bonfire with dead leaves and branches.Putting the flint in his sleeve, he poked at the wick with a twig.The red fire light hissed softly, reflecting his face as warm as day.

"...a little uneasy. Since Mr. Zhongshi is about to die, I still can't bear it." She replied.

"This is also normal, after all, that is your former master." He Quanshou said nothing more, looked up and saw her standing in a very far away place, and said a little puzzled, "Why are you standing so far away? You are so far away in the autumn night. It’s cold, so it’s more comfortable to sit by the fire to keep warm!”

As he spoke, he fiddled with the dead leaves in the campfire again.The stack of dead leaves made a soft "crack" and "crack" burning sound, which made the fire more intense.

Yuna stood far away and said, "No... I'm fine here. I don't like things like 'fire' very much."

"Huh?" Izumi Shou blinked, and came to his senses, "Oh...you are the same as Yiqi Yizheng, you don't like fire? Did you encounter a fire in the Ming Dynasty? No wonder." Saying that, Izumi Shou stood up, I took the haori cloak and fanned it; a heavy wind blew up and instantly extinguished the flames of the campfire.The flames suddenly disappeared, leaving only a wisp of black smoke slowly wafting from the dead branches.

"Is it okay now?" Izumi patted the soot on the palm of his hand and said, "It's still a little warm here! You should sit here quickly, and go to bed quickly before the heat dissipates. When you fall asleep, you can I can't feel the cold wind anymore."

When the bonfire was extinguished, there was only darkness in the forest, and the only light was the moon in the sky.In this night, Izumi Mamoru only had a faint silhouette left.

"I'm good at taking care of people!" Izumi Shou's proud voice came from the night, "By the way, Sunshine, come and get this!" He said, and he stuffed two pieces of warm thin stones into it. Yuna's palm, "I specially put the stone into the fire to bake it, it's very warm, right? Holding this to sleep will definitely be very comfortable."

Indeed, the piece of stone was roasted and warmed, falling on the palm just enough to drive away the chill.She nodded, approached the extinguished campfire, and sat down with her legs bent.

"Mr. Kan is really thoughtful." She said, "I usually see Horikawa working hard to help Mr. Kan with his daily life. I thought Mr. Kan knew nothing about life."

"That's his help!" Izumi Mori also moved to a position not far from her, and wrapped Haori around his body, "

I'm not that kind of idiot..."

It was already very late, and Matsue City, where the festival was held, gradually fell asleep, and the chill of autumn night was transmitted from the four fields.She felt the remaining warmth by the campfire with her hands, took a breath, and slowly closed her eyes.

I don't know how long it has passed, half asleep and half awake, she always feels that there is something rubbing against her side.Because she was very sleepy, she didn't care so much, and let the thing move freely.

But this kind of laissez-faire made the other party even more unscrupulous.One didn't pay attention, and the other party leaned into her arms, pressing Yuna a little hard to breathe.As a result, she couldn't sleep peacefully, so she rubbed her eyes and woke up.

It was probably late at night, and the cold moon in the sky was hiding behind the clouds. The residual heat from the campfire had already dissipated, and it was very cold everywhere.She lowered her head, and found that the thing that weighed her down was none other than Izumi Mori Kanesada—he was resting his head on her body, burrowing into her body from the cold, like a small animal looking for a stove .

"Mr. and?" She tried to shout.

"It's cold...it's so cold!" Izumi Shou made a sleepy voice, and pushed harder into her arms.

His eyes were closed tightly, as if he was still in a dream.It seemed that the night was so cold that he unconsciously approached places with heat.

Yuna was a little helpless.She touched Izumi Mori Kanesada's heart and said, "I can't help it..." Immediately, she covered the bodies of the two with her coat.With such a thin coat, it can barely retain some warmth.

But the disadvantage of this is also obvious: Izumi Mori Kanesada drilled into her arms harder.

She patted Izumi Mamoru on the back, turned her head on the side, and fell asleep reluctantly.

That night, Yuna slept restlessly.She had a horrible nightmare of a huge husky on its chest, wagging its tail and asking her for a snack.The husky was so big and heavy that she couldn't breathe and her neck was sore.

When the sun was bright the next day, she was stunned by the bright light and opened her eyes, and immediately felt her neck sore like a pillow.While rubbing her neck, she looked around in a daze, and found that Izumi Mori Kanesada had woken up, and was sitting beside her energetically, staring at her.

"Morning... Mr. Jian." She rubbed her eyes and greeted.

"Riguang, you are so afraid of the cold." Izumishou held his cheek, looked at him with his eyes, and smiled a little silly, "Before we fell asleep yesterday, there was still ten steps between us. Who knows that when you wake up, you Just got into my arms. Is it because of the cold?"

Yuna: ...

ha?

Can you say that again?Who gets into whose arms?

"Don't worry, I won't say anything." Izumi Mori Kanesada's smile was shining brightly, "Next time you want to sleep in my arms, just say so! I'm not a stingy person, I don't have to be like last night , sneaked in sneakily, hahahaha!"

Yuna: ...?

Peach?
