Chapter 1011 [Chapter 6] 25
Having said this, he stopped suddenly.For a moment, there was only the sound of his heavy breathing, and the sound of the rain that seemed to be gradually lowering outside the crack of the stone, echoing in the square inch of the boulder.
Then, he heard her breathing clearly beside her.
...no, not a sniff, but a sniff.
Could it be that he was caught cold by the cold wind at night? !
Hijikata will never be so affectionate that he thinks that just a few words can move the girl next to him to the point of crying - because he feels that he didn't say anything?
He felt that he didn't deliberately say sweet words to please women, nor did he talk about topics that could impress women—no, it's better to say that he seemed to be immersed in his own memories from the beginning to the end, and what he said was the most Ordinary, most prosaic, most uninteresting details—
Kondo-san admires Guan Shengdijun and wants to be a general like him; the general manager always adds too much soy sauce to the dishes when he is in charge of cooking, even if Saito or Hirasuke, who are also responsible for this task, stop it; Also, there are always a lot of cute and sweet wagashi packages in her room. When the powdered sugar wrapped in the snacks gets on her fingertips, she will secretly lick her fingers while everyone is not paying attention. ...
And he still remembered how he felt when he saw her move.At first, my head was full of miasma, and I felt that the child's little actions were too sissy; later I realized that she was a woman at all, and I thought why this guy was so careless, licking fingers in front of a room full of men is what a woman should do Do something, even if no one sees it!
Finally, when she was in that mountain hut, after eating wagashi, she slowly licked her fingers, and the small pink tip of her tongue rolled gently over the slender fingertips, he felt a burst of pain. Her heart was beating fast, her head was swollen, and she didn't know whether it was because the action was too hateful or because he was too angry, and her mind was buzzing; then, she would secretly show a sly smile on the corner of her lips, with the end of her eyes connected All the cheeks were stained with a faint red, and he said knowingly, "Hey, Mr. Hijikata, what's wrong with you?"Have a fever?You look uncomfortable-
Then, she may slowly crawl over from the tatami, approach him, stretch out the little hand that she just rolled her tongue over her fingertips, and cover his heart, pursing her lips silently With a smile, he said in a low voice: ... your heart beats very fast, Mr. A Sui?
Tu Fang turned his head suddenly, and exhaled heavily through his nose, like an old and unusable bellows, the breath was heavy, and the parts of his body were creaking with gaps; he was a little annoyed, feeling He seemed to be dominated by gentle memories and weak emotions for a moment, and this fact made him angry and embarrassed, so he couldn't help raising his voice an octave, and changed the topic stiffly.
"...In short, in short! Those are all things in the past." He forcefully concluded his words.
"Good or bad...what else?"
Miss Jiutiao next to her seemed to be breathless for a moment, and she seemed very stunned; but she reacted quickly, and after a short deep breath, she seemed to get rid of the feeling of "moving" just now. Zhan Wu hummed with a half-smile, and asked in an interesting way:
"So, what Mr. Naito means is that you are very dissatisfied with Mrs. Madam, but you can't get rid of her?"
In an instant, Tufang blurted out: "...Of course not!!"
Then he heard her pause first, and then chuckle softly; this made him suddenly realize that he had once again fallen into the trap of her words.He couldn't help but get even more annoyed.
Fortunately, that Miss Jiutiao suddenly became considerate—maybe she was subtly moved by what he said just now, her tone sounded much gentler now, and she even took the initiative to relieve him .
"Sorry," she said, "actually, I've figured it out."
The earth party was a little annoyed, and subconsciously asked: "You understand?! What do you understand?"
He heard that Miss Jiutiao was silent for a moment.Then, without warning, she sniffed again.
...Maybe she really caught a cold!
Tufang couldn't bear it anymore and turned his head away, only to see that she had already put his coat on his shoulders at some point.It was still raining outside, and the moonlight shining through the cracks in the rocks was extremely weak, only a vague outline of her profile could be outlined.
"...I see, Mr. Naito is such a nice person..." she said softly.
Earthwork:? !
He suddenly received a compliment from her, and he froze for a moment.
But it's not over yet.
"I also understand that in your mind, madam is a very important person..." she continued.
"How precious are the memories you shared with her—"
The ending of this sentence suddenly disappeared in the air.It seemed that there was some kind of crystal glimmer, which suddenly slid down from the corners of her eyes along the curve of her cheeks.
Tufang heard her sniff again.
"...Oops, it seems that I really caught a cold." With a hoarse voice, she suddenly said something half-joking.
Earthwork: "..."
He now suddenly felt extremely irritable.
Although the situation seemed to be under her control, and he had to follow her routine, the girl didn't seem to do anything bad to him, and she seemed to have a little kindness, so that if she chased him later If the men who wanted her found them—should he just capture her so sternly and bring her back for interrogation?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.Then he suddenly realized that it seemed that he hadn't dealt with such troublesome things for a long time.
It turned out that in the Shinsengumi era, he certainly caught some women who were determined to pass on information for Chief Sa, and even did bad things.There are also times when it is necessary to interrogate women, or occasions when it is necessary to meet and discuss serious matters with women—but, at those times, he does not need to negotiate in person.
There is one person who is the perfect reliable person to handle this kind of thing - there is no one more trustworthy than her.And she always manages to get things right.She will get the information when it is necessary to dig out information; she will deal with it appropriately when it is necessary to deal with it severely; even when interrogating some timid women, she will gently comfort them, and in the quiet chat get what you want to know...
She can handle even the toughest tasks and the toughest people to talk to.
Hijikata couldn't help thinking in his heart, if she were here at this moment, how would she treat this troublesome Miss Kutiao, what would she say, and finally decide how to deal with this mysterious and unpredictable Miss Kutiao ...
But she can't be here.What he was looking forward to could never happen.His hometown is still there, but there is no such a person there anymore. He is whimsical, lively, cunning, firm and brave. I went with him to the summer festival of the next year, the summer festival of the next year, and the summer festival of countless years to come——
Tufang sighed, and finally couldn't help but said bluntly: "Why did you do such a thing——"
Why did she agree to act as the secret envoy of the Satsuma people, posing as a wandering girl and running to the army's camp to take risks?Why did you hijack Xixiang to follow the Tao and make things out of control?He didn't believe that if she didn't take any drastic actions, Xixiang Congdao would take the initiative to sound a warning and expose her true identity and purpose to the people on the Guanjun side; Created irreparable reasons between them, pushing the situation to the point of no return...
The earth side tried to think about the answers to these questions objectively, but found that there was no reasonable explanation that could answer these questions.
unless--
Before he could think about it, he heard her voice, interrupting his reasoning just right.
"Because this is my destiny."
There was a hint of fatigue in her voice, which was completely different from the joyful feeling with a slight smile just now.
"I have something to do... I'm here because I know I can do something," she said.
However, this answer only made Hijikata feel even more puzzled.
Was she really being persecuted?This doesn't seem to match her outstanding skills and tenacious character; moreover, she is a person who even calls people like Xixiang Congdao "Miss Jiutiao". status, but there is no need to use such a polite title for everyone, even if the other party is a secret envoy from Satsuma—then, was she threatened by something?Otherwise, with such a status, if you don't want to come, you should be able to refuse, right?
"... Satsuma, is it some important person who controls you." Hijikata asked slowly.
"That's why you have to be forced to obey their orders..."
He felt that her breath was a little unsteady, as if she was very surprised.
"Why... why do you think so?" She laughed, but didn't answer his question directly.
But this kind of reaction only made the earth side a little more sure of his own ideas.He turned his head, tried his best to stare at her face in the faint light, and said, "... What are your difficulties? Can you tell me?"
He heard her throat twitch.Then, suddenly, she let out a short, low laugh.
"No, not yet," she replied.
Earthwork:! ! !
This answer almost seemed to confirm his speculation.However, since she didn't say it out, she has no way of knowing what is her weakness of being controlled by those Samos.The earthworker could only seize the opportunity to guess as much as possible:
"Do they control someone you value? Your family? Or your..."
He didn't say the last word, because she had already interrupted him simply and roughly.
"Has Mr. Naito ever had any regrets?" she asked abruptly.
Earthwork: "...what?"
Miss Kujo sighed softly.
"It's just... there is something that must be done, so we must put that matter in the priority before Madam... But that matter may temporarily endanger Madam, so it will be disturbing, and I am afraid that it is not the right choice for me , will leave regrets..." She explained slowly, this time in exceptional detail.
Then, she also turned her face in the same direction as the earthwork.Although in the darkness, neither of them can see the expression on the other's face clearly, but the darkness also magnifies the voice, making every sentence of the other party seem to have a deep-rooted effect——
She asked, "Mr. Naito, have you ever had a moment like this?"
The author has something to say:
February 8:
In fact, the deputy chief still planned to talk to the girl. After all, he didn't know that this person was a girl, but he just thought that this girl was kind to him, so there might be help? 【Fog!
So he plans to see what the girl has planned, if it is not too much, stop her before she does something bad
But he also noticed that the girl's actions tonight are actually not very beneficial to Satsuma, so he fell into confusion.
Next update: tomorrow.
