In Tokyo, I just want salted fish

Chapter 380 Extra Story Horizon 6
The sun hit his face, his nose was filled with the smell of earth, and there was a slight hint of heavy japonica rice fragrance.

There was a rustling fresh wind in my ears.

Kai Uesugi tried his best to prop up his body, opened his eyes in a daze, and was immediately shocked by the scenery in front of him. The endless plains and the endless warm golden wheat fields swayed with the breeze, setting off bursts of wheat fragrance. golden wave.

A gust of wind blows head-on, and Uesugi Kai's hair is twirled, and waves of wheat waves roll from the front, skipping his side, Uesugi Kai's eyes follow the golden wheat waves and look back.

In the sky, in the dazzling sky, a whale shuttles through the clouds.

Its huge body rolled white clouds, its fish tail leaped high, and the sound it made seemed to come from the distant humming of the abyss of the sea.

Uesugi Kai looked up at the sky while avoiding the glare of the sun.

The dreamlike scene of wheat fields, warm sun, cool breeze, and whales swimming in the sky gave Kai Uesugi a strong premonition, which is a good start.

He turned his head, and the wheat waves in front of him moved away into the distance, and did not stop until they completely disappeared from sight.

He couldn't help but wonder, how big is this wheat field?
Not sure.

Uesugi looked far away, and the horizon where the wheat field and the sky met showed an absolute straight line, without the slightest arc.

where is this?

He doesn't know.

Maybe it's in a dream, maybe it's the underworld, maybe it's the place where life and death meet.

Uesugi Kai glanced at the bright and bright warm sun above.

He was a little dazed, because everything in front of him was very similar to the scene he had dreamed about before.

In the dream, Hanamaru Hanabi, who was standing in the wheat field in a fluttering white dress, stood in front of a wooden house, with her face against the sleeping child in her arms, smiling warmly at herself.

Her smile was warm and sweet.

Now, the dream-like wheat field is here.

What about the fireworks?
spark spark
Feeling irritable for some reason, Uesugi Kai looked around aimlessly, and kept moving forward.

But there is nothing around, only golden wheat fields.

He can only move forward.

I don't know how long I walked forward, an hour?one day?three days?

Perhaps there is no time here at all.

The whale disappeared, but the floating clouds remained, and the setting sun still showed its existence in the sky.

tired.
Uesugi Kai's legs were as heavy as lead, his brain and body were exhausted, the darkness drowned his dying spirit like a tide, and at last he seemed to have tripped over something, his feet slipped, and he fell heavily into the wheat field
The spirit and thoughts are gradually separated, and the sound of breathing becomes clear to the ears.
Uesugi Kaoru's blurred vision gradually disappeared, and the final picture was fixed on the dense wheat stalks in the field.

In the middle, there was a short continuous, as if someone fed himself water.
When he regained consciousness again, he seemed to be lying on a warm bed.

Kai Uesugi opened his eyes vaguely and found that he was not on the bed.

But there is warmth, kindness and relaxation.
He felt this feeling. It was Hanabi holding him.
Kai Uesugi found himself lying on the girl's lap pillow.

Hanamaru Hanabi was kneeling in the wheat field, looking down at herself with a sweet smile.

Almost instantly, the moment he saw her face clearly, his heart trembled.

real.?

dreamlike.?

It doesn't matter anymore.
Uesugi Kai stretched out his hand in confusion, and touched her face.

Her hands were warm, and she leaned her face against her palms, closing her eyes like a sleeping child.

"Your Majesty."

The warm touch of this weak voice instantly spread from her hands to her whole body. Although she didn't say anything else, just this weak voice made Uesugi Kai's eyes blurry.
It's good. It's good.
----------

This is a dream, an immersive dream.

Standing in front of the tombstone, Uesugi Kai picked up the lilies that fell on the ground.

There was a price to this dream, but he thought it was worth it.

Because it only takes ten times, only ten times. Huahuo can come back.

Kai Uesugi looked at the name on the tombstone, and a power called hope and desire burned in his heart.

It's strange, just for a moment, the state of mind becomes completely different from the previous second.

Holding an umbrella, he put down the lily, and reached out to touch the rain-soaked name on the stele:
"Hanabi. I'll let you back."

sunset.

"Brother will come to pick up my sister and me today, right?"

Noriko Uesugi rubbed Aiyi's head, and asked with a smile, "Does Aiyi like him so much?"

"Brother is fine." Aiyi replied with a smile.

"Where is it?"

"Oh, I can't tell, but I just like it anyway, and my sister must be the same."

"Well, your brother is very good. But what happened to Sister Huahuo hit him hard, so Aiyi and Qian Aiyi must help Auntie watch him more, okay?"

Aiyi was a little sad: "Sister Huahuo. Is she really gone?"

Noriko Uesugi paused, as if recalling something, nodded stiffly, "Well, it's gone."

Doorbell rang.

Uesugi Kai turned the lock on the door and walked in from the outside.

"Ah, where have you been in the past few days?"

Uesugi Kai's reaction seemed a little slow, and he replied after a long time: "That's just...going out to relax, and find inspiration for writing by the way."

Aiyi ran up to him, looking up at his little face with doubts.

"Brother, why does he seem to have grown a lot bigger?"

"yes.?"

"Yeah, it looks like a young uncle."

Uesugi Kai stretched out his hand, rubbed her head and said, "Uncle is uncle, what a young uncle, besides, I'm not that old, I'm only twenty this year."

Got bigger?
After Xiao Aiyi said this, Uesugi Noriko also began to look at her son.

"It seems... Is it really getting old? It doesn't feel like twenty but 24 five."

Qian Aiyi nodded her head: "Well, my brother has become bigger."

"Haha, maybe it's your illusion." Uesugi Kai said with a smile.

Uesugi Noriko didn't think much about it, she just thought that he had gone out for a walk, was eating and sleeping in the open, and his complexion was not good.

"Stay here for dinner at night and then take Aiyi and the others back."

"Row."

Kaoru Uesugi did not reject what his mother said.

The meal at home is very warm, but for Uesugi Kai, there is always a missing piece in his heart.

Noriko Uesugi saw it.

"Ah, how about mom help you find another one."

Uesugi Kenichi kicked Uesugi Noriko's stool directly, "What are you talking about, eat."

Uesugi Noriko immediately understood that she was concerned about it, and after being reminded by Uesugi Kenichi, she didn't speak anymore, and could only sigh silently in her heart.

cheer up son

This weekend, that is, three days later, October [-]th.

Otsu came to Uesugi Kaoru's house as scheduled, and Uesugi Kaoru told him in advance that he could come to get the documents of the manuscript.

Although in modern society, this kind of thing can be solved by network transmission, but the publishing house where Otsu works is more traditional. It always obtains first-hand information from the author and will not transmit it through the network, saying that it is afraid of being stolen. .

He came to Uesugi Kai's house and rang the doorbell as before.

About 2 minutes later, Kai Uesugi came down the stairs and opened the door.

"Mr. Uesugi, excuse me." Otsu bowed politely.

Standing at the entrance, Uesugi Kai directly threw the USB flash drive to him, "Here, the third volume."

Seeing that he was thrown out, Otsu hurriedly caught it with both hands, "Teacher Uesugi, be careful!"

"Words are not so delicate." Said Uesugi Kai.

"But this is a USB flash drive! Electronic equipment!"

"I still have a backup."

Otsu looked at the USB flash drive in his hand, and asked tentatively, "Ms. Uesugi, the third volume. How far has it been written?"

"married."

"So fast!?"

"Yeah." Kaoru Uesugi nodded calmly.

"But you only wrote in the second volume. Uh, you didn't even write about holding hands!"

"Characters need to be touched. The touch cannot be repeated. Naturally, the length can only be shortened. Like the plot of holding hands, once written once, readers will not feel much when they read it the second time."

Otsu still thinks it shouldn’t be, and the length should be a little longer. It would be nice to have more daily life.

Otsu is a new editor in charge of Kaoru Uesugi. He has just graduated from university. He is an editor and a reader at the same time. He still has a passion for novels. Unlike those old colleagues who read articles, they only look at the author's use of plots and conflicts. Reasonably used, when he reads the article, he substitutes himself into it and experiences it as the protagonist himself.

"Teacher Uesugi, does the title of your book Mengchuang Fangsi have any meaning?"

"Literally, Fang Si outside the window in the dream, didn't I write that the male protagonist saw Fang Si from the window at the beginning?"

"real..?"

"real."

"What about the fourth volume? Uesugi-sensei, do you have any special arrangements?"

"A month later, you will come back in a month."

"Okay, then I'll go back first, excuse me, Uesugi-sensei." Otsu bowed slightly to him.

"Ah."

Kaoru Uesugi glanced at him, turned around and closed the door.

He walked up to the second floor, lay back on the bed, and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

He picked up the mirror on the bedside table, looked at himself in the mirror, and found a white hair on top of the black hair.

There is no way he can only pin his hopes on this.
He wanted to see it again. See Hua Huo smiling at him again.
Time has passed a month.

After the third volume was released, the author of Mengchuangfang Temple was scolded miserably.

Some people even held banners and ran to the bottom of the publishing house to protest loudly.

The reason is that it was short. They felt that they hadn't seen enough, so why did they suddenly get married, even though enough emotions had been laid before, it was logical enough.

But when I read it, I always feel empty in my heart.

Uncomfortable!

However, the main reason is that the direction of the plot implies a bad ending.

Everyone didn't want to see that scene.

Utsunomiya, the editor-in-chief of Yokogawa Publishing House, glanced at the crowded crowd, and faced the newcomer who had just joined the company:

"Otsu-san, you still need to communicate with Mr. Uesugi about this matter, and ask him to write more."

What can Otsu do? There is nothing he can do.

He can only agree, and then go to Uesugi Kai to have a face-to-face talk.

After getting on the tram and making two turns halfway, Otsu came to the door of Uesugi Kai’s house again.

When he saw Uesugi Kai again, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Uesugi-sensei, you."

The teacher has really become a teacher.

This is a respectful title, but now. Uesugi Kai looks older than him. It is estimated that there is a 30-year-old, like an uncle
How could this be?
A month ago, he was a young college student in his 20s.

"How could this be?"

Kai Uesugi had a calm face, "With a terminal illness, the body will age rapidly, which is nothing more than a normal thing."

Otsu asked in disbelief: "Sensei Uesugi, are you terminally ill?"

"No."

"."

Otsu didn't respond a little.

"Does your family know about this?"

"I know, and I was taken to the hospital for an examination. It was said that it was progeria, and it was probably a mentally induced disease."

"Isn't this a terminal illness?"

"The doctor said, it can be cured. Don't talk about me, talk about your purpose for coming to me."

"Ah," Otsu responded, "That's right. The editor-in-chief wants you to write more."

Uesugi Kai directly threw him a USB flash drive.

"This is?" Otsu caught it in a panic like last time.

"Volume Four, Mengchuangfang Temple ends here."

"It's, it's over!?"

Otsu wanted to say something, but found that Kaoru Uesugi had closed the door. He hurried forward and knocked hard, shouting continuously:
"Uesugi-sensei! Uesugi-sensei! Uesugi-sensei!"

Kai Uesugi in the house ignored him and walked to the second floor alone.

When there was no movement outside, he lay back on the bed, picked up the photo of Hanamaru Hanabi, stroked the frozen smiling face with his right hand, and murmured:

"35 years old and seven times seven times"

My brother has progeria, and the doctor said it can be cured. But it has not improved.

Ai Yi folded a thousand paper cranes, her little feet walked up the stairs wearing slippers, and stopped outside the door of Uesugi Kai's bedroom. He usually wouldn't let her in, saying that he was afraid that his appearance would scare her.

"Brother and aunt are pregnant, and sister Huayu is going to have a younger sister. Didn't my brother always say that Huayu is like sister Huahuo when she was young? Although sister Huahuo and the baby are gone, brother should cheer up, sister Huahuo and brother My little baby must also hope so. Aiyi folded a thousand paper cranes and gave them to you. Sister Huahuo told Aiyi. She also gave it to her brother when she was a child. When he received it, he was very happy."

"elder brother?"

Aiyi stood outside the door and waited for a long time without waiting for a response from inside. She carefully pushed open the bedroom door, only to find that Uesugi Kai was not inside.

She went in and found a note left on the bed.

Aiyi put down the paper crane and picked it up, looking at the words written by Kai Uesugi above.

[Aiyi, Qian Aiyi, don’t worry too much about me when my brother is on a trip, I’m fine. After Hanabi is gone, I often think of her in my dreams, think of her smiling at me, think of her helping me tidy up my clothes when I go out, think of her The back view of her busy breakfast in the kitchen, I think of me touching her belly that is pregnant with life. We look forward to the future life together, and think of us buying clothes for the little one who has not yet been born
i miss her so much i think i should go out and relax
I will find my next destination in the scenery of the journey
In the meantime, my brother would like to ask you all for a favor and let Uncle Yuki promise to name the unborn child Hanabi.
I know. Even if you say it, he will never agree.

But trust me. On the day the child is born on October [-]th. He will remember and say yes.

Please also reassure my mother and father not to care too much about me. The heart is still growing and they should take care of her more.
Aiyi, Qian Aiyi, I will come back after 15 years. I hope you can still remember me at that time and remember that I have this brother.
——January 1, stay]
