Chapter 1010 [Chapter 6] 24
When he was stunned, she seemed to notice his suspicious pause, hesitated for a moment, and continued to ask: "Could it be that Mr. Naito doesn't have a wife in his hometown?"
Tufang felt that he couldn't hesitate any longer, otherwise she didn't know what else she would say; so he replied decisively: "...Yes."
But she got a definite answer, but she refused to let him go.She leaned closer to him—there was a gap on her side, and the increased night wind blew the raindrops in—and said in a low voice: "Then, you have been away for so long, Madam must miss you very much." You..."
Earthwork: "..."
He felt restless.
This topic was too difficult for him, no matter what she asked, it was difficult for him to answer.But it doesn't seem right to deny the existence of the "Mrs. Hometown"—he hadn't figured out how to muddle through this topic in a proper and reasonable way before he heard her add another sentence as if interested:
"What kind of person is your wife..."
The earth could bear it no longer.This series of innocent questions hit him like a series of nails, and made him almost irritable.
"Why do you ask this?" He asked impatiently and bluntly.
Originally, I thought that I could scare her away with a little bit of a bad voice, but she was taken aback for a moment, and laughed instead.
"I've heard it's the safest topic for a good man." Her answer was a bit unexpected.
"After all, in this day and age, what ambition is there to talk about? Whether it's good or not, only time will tell—"
Earthwork:? !
He was a little startled, and suddenly turned to stare at her.Because the sentence she just said sounded meaningful, and it didn't seem like a country girl could say it; but the next moment he had to turn his face away in embarrassment, because they were trying to avoid the rain. , They were too close at the moment, and he forgot this just now, as soon as he turned his face away, his lips almost rubbed against her cheek, which scared him into a cold sweat.
...So, what the hell is this!There are not many women who dare to interrogate the deputy head of the Shinsengumi. If she knows that the man sitting next to her and being questioned by her is the deputy head of the ghost——
Before he finished thinking, he heard the nagging woman beside him speak again.
"So, for a good man like you, it's not suitable for you to talk to you on the usual topics in the romantic field. Then, it is also appropriate to greet your wife—" She slowly dragged out the ending , with a half-true sigh in his tone.
"After all, she is really a lucky person~"
The little squiggly lines in her voice upset Hijikata.In order to prevent her from continuing, he hastily opened his mouth and cut her off.
"...Ah, she is...a strange person?"
"Huh?!" Sure enough, as soon as he made this comment, he immediately heard her low voice of surprise.
Hijikata inexplicably felt a sense of happiness (heavy fog!) to bring back a city(?), coughed and continued: "...a lot of thoughts and behaviors are probably different from those of women in this era—— If you have to say it, you are too stubborn, and sometimes it seems very clumsy..."
As soon as these few comments came out, the girl next to him who was chattering just now and asked him about the "wife in my hometown" with a curious look on her face, as if she didn't wink at all, suddenly became quiet, so quiet... People feel a little strange.
Fortunately, her quietness didn't last too long.Tufang heard a rustling sound beside him, obviously the sound of their clothes rubbing against each other when she was trying to adjust her sitting position again - but he didn't dare to turn his head to look at her at all What exactly was he doing? He still remembered the accident that almost happened when he turned his head just now, so he didn't dare to act rashly anymore.
However, she seemed to have adjusted her posture very quickly, and answered with a half-smile.
"...If you don't know Mr. Naito that you are a good man, and you must have a place for your wife in your heart-just listening to your words, I really think that you are actually dissatisfied with your wife in your heart?"
The half-truth, the little hook-like ending appeared again at the end of her words.Hijikata felt a headache.
In the end, he had no choice but to cough heavily again, pretending not to hear a trace of provocation in her tone, and replied bluntly: "...No."
Miss Kutiao: "Oh?!"
The earth side suddenly felt a little ridiculous.
What was he doing first tonight? ...oh, routine night watch.Then what?
...Then, there was this incident in which this pretended wandering girl hijacked Xixiang Congdao.
And then, he could only use his body as a pledge to return to Xixiang to follow the Tao—they Samo people can't even deal with a woman!He is still talking big and big, and wants to change this country!Absurd!
In the end, he actually sat under the boulder to hide from the rain with this ferocious fake wandering girl. catch up...
Now, he is forced to talk about such a topic that he is not good at!
Earthwork took a deep breath.
calm down.He had to hold her steady.
Although I have already guessed in my heart that she is a secret envoy sent by the Satsuma army to persuade Xixiang to defect to Dao, but since Satsuma dared to send her to the danger alone, it shows that her skill must not be underestimated; if she is not sure If she can successfully complete the task, how dare Samo send someone who will be easily caught by them and then learn a lot of information about Samo from her through harsh interrogation?
Moreover, his knife is still with her.
This woman must not be underestimated.
Just when he was leaving the camp, he walked up as promised and was willing to capture Xixiang instead of Xixiang and leave the road. The moment she put the knife on his neck, he understood: Judging from her movements and the position of the knife , This woman is definitely a veteran.
The posture she chose and the position of the blade were too ingenious. She would not threaten his life by walking around for the time being, but she could send the blade forward at any time and finish him; how sophisticated and cunning !It must be a habit honed in countless practical actions!
It’s not that Hijikata is not good at dealing with people—in fact, he thinks he is better at this kind of thing than Kondo. After all, in the Shinsengumi era, reports with superiors, supervision with subordinates, communication with other contacts, etc. He was in charge of cooking—but tonight, maybe because of the close distance, maybe because of the annoying rain, or maybe because of this puzzling and melancholy topic, he felt a little restless.
...This Miss Kujo seems to be really curious about his "wife from home".So it took a while to get to the bottom of it.It's not that he hasn't encountered this kind of situation before. All in all, although he doesn't have an overly arrogant view of himself, when he encounters this kind of problem, it is usually because the girl on the other side has a strong feeling for him. interest, that's why they used this roundabout method of exploration to inquire about news.And although he had rejected the other party very quickly and harshly before, in order to stabilize Miss Jiutiao today, he had to say a few more words to deal with her.
Moreover, perhaps because he and this Miss Jiutiao were complete strangers, when he mentioned the "wife from my hometown" to her, it was easier to speak whether it was true or false.
"She is a tough and tenacious woman," he finally said.
Now that he had made up his mind to say more, he also let go of the restraint and continued to speak slowly.
"I used to think she was a cunning guy... It's obviously a very common thing, but when it comes to her, there are so many tricks... I just asked her to come to me to talk about some serious things, but I heard her talking to me Haiku chanting loudly outside the door—”
The breath of Miss Jiutiao beside her seemed to stagnate.Tufang didn’t know if it was because she was shocked, or because she was trying to hold back a smile—even when he was talking about these things, he couldn’t help but smile, because some things sounded so real now. Pretty incredible, isn't it?
"Besides, I'm often whimsical... I want to raise goldfish for no reason, regardless of whether the situation allows it..."
"It seems that she likes sweet food very much, but when I ask her to cook, the dishes are always bland... There are many times when I eat, I have to re-add soy sauce to the dishes to be suitable."
"...This is exactly the opposite of Mr.—uh, my brother's—cooking habits. That guy likes to put soy sauce in his dishes, and the dishes he makes are poisonous to death...everyone—uh , that is, people who have tasted their craftsmanship, said, it would be great if the habits of the two of them could be neutralized..."
"Also, I thought her sewing skills were good, which was considered a limited advantage... It turned out that I found out later that I hired other girls to do it for me... If she came by herself, the clothes she sewed would wear off after a few times. It’s time to open the thread again. Let her sew a little stronger, so when I took a look at the sewn clothes, the stitching marks were crooked like an earthworm crawling on the clothes..."
Having said this, he stopped, wondering what he was pondering, and after a while, he suddenly burst out laughing and shook his head, as if he himself thought these things were really interesting.
"...I can't help it." He muttered.
But even though he had said so much in a long-winded manner, Miss Kutiao beside him remained silent.Only the sound of quiet breathing reminded him that there was an audience beside him.
Tufang paused for a moment, and felt that he should also talk about the benefits of being a "wife from my hometown", otherwise, it would be hard for others to hear that there is such a "wife from my hometown", otherwise it would be all shortcomings. ?
He lowered his head in thought.
"Other than that, I'm actually very reliable in doing things. I seem to have read a lot of books. I'm close to...uh, when I talked about Guan Shengdijun with a friend who is like a brother, he is actually very clear..."
"Sometimes she is reckless and bold, and people will be scared to death by her; sometimes she is cunning and clever, deceiving people around—"
The sound of rain outside the cracks in the stone was still pattering.Accompanied by the rhythmic sound of rain, his voice seemed to have entered a stable state, and he spoke quietly, without even having the slightest time to stop to recall or think, and just kept talking.
"Sometimes she doesn't say a word when she is hurt, she is so brave that people don't even realize that she is a woman and needs protection..."
"...The willpower is so strong that even I am amazed. When I recognize something, I lower my head and rush forward without looking back, let alone doubt my decision, as if I am not afraid of what is waiting in front of me. It seems dangerous..."
There was a hint of sigh in his voice.
"But even such a woman has an incredibly innocent side—"
"It's always been said that the next year's summer festival should go with two people from the beginning—"
The author has something to say:
February 8:
I finally feel like I'm better... this sickness is so hard
The fever did not torment me too much, the main thing is that I feel dizzy when I sit up, and there is a severe pain in my head
Since this chapter is still the key plot of the deputy chief's confession, I don't want to forcefully write it out, but everyone thinks it's not good.
Anyway, thank you all for your understanding and patience!I think I can resume updating w
Also, after thinking about it, I have written more than 20 chapters, so I should hurry up and let the deputy chief sprinkle sugar! [you are enough
So the deputy chief of this chapter is a little blunt, because he doesn't know that the girl is sitting next to him
Sometimes it is easier for us to say things to strangers that we dare not say to those close to us.
Because anyway, I feel that I have nothing to lose by telling strangers, don't I?
PS. The general manager likes to use soy sauce when cooking, and Kondo-san likes Guan Shengdijun. They are all settings in the original work hhh
Next update: tomorrow.
