Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 226 Memories (2)

They also received birthday gifts, although these bastards didn't even know when they were born... So the old man simply regarded the day when they first met as his birthday, and the gift Bai Ke received was a comic book Book, that was the first comic book in his life, it was a juvenile manga, and it was a traditional Chinese version, but he didn't know many words at that time, but combined with the pictures, the plot could be understood very well .

Whether time can change a person is irrelevant, but in that year, the old head let out all the words accumulated in his heart for many years, from a taciturn old man to a chatterbox, and he always liked to talk When Bai Ke was weaving bamboo strips, he talked about it like an annoying parrot.

The bastards didn't do anything bad, so they lived in the wooden house. Anyway, there are so many empty rooms, and the empty rooms are empty.

When there were more people, it became lively, and the old man became busy every day in order to cook meals for more than a dozen people.

He began to try to care about the living conditions of these bastards, learning to mix meat and vegetables, breakfast with milk, bread and eggs, and dinner with strict food intake.Even so, the strictness in his bones remained unchanged. If someone did something wrong, he would jump up in anger and yell at them, saying that they should work hard if they were taken in, and get out if they didn't do well.But the old man never overtakes anyone.After a while, it was as if nothing happened.

Although in the eyes of other friends, the old man stayed with them for too long, and they were too familiar with each other, just like a lonely elder taking care of a child.No one thought that the old man was about to die. After all, his body was still so strong, and he could still chop firewood by himself. In the snowy winter, he followed a group of children back to the stove with bundles of dead branches on the thick snow. Fire burning warm cabin.

But Baike felt that the old man was going to die of old age, maybe the old man was too afraid that no one would bury him after he died, so he treated them like this.However, out of courtesy, he also tried to take care of the old man, bringing him hot water and tea every night, sometimes rubbing his shoulders when he was free, and listening to the old man bragging about how awesome he was when he was young.

Later, when Bai Ke mentioned it one night, the old man graciously admitted it.He said that he had no children in his life, and he didn't have any, so what to do when he died was a big trouble, but he didn't talk about more, just patted Bai Ke on the back.

Later, in order to allow them to enter the town to live normally, the old man took them to start cleaning the town.

A bunch of obnoxious kids will have to pay a lot more to regain their good impression.

So they worked from spring to winter, the town was covered with snow, and when the sound of firewood and the warmth of the fireplace sounded in the warm houses, a group of young men still wore heavy clothes and swept the streets with brooms.Weeding and pruning branches in spring, and helping people harvest fruits in the farmland in autumn...these young men can be found everywhere.

Life is supposed to go on like this, ordinary, maybe one day people in the town will accept this group of prodigal boys, they find an ordinary job, marry an ordinary wife, and spend an ordinary life.

But everything turned around in that snowy winter.

The old man is a little afraid of the cold. When he is resting, he likes to face the fireplace and curl up in his high-back chair like a quail. When he is happy, he will drink some wine and teach Bai Ke how to drink, saying that now he will be taught to read. Send him to college later.

Baike doesn't know what university is, but he is a little unhappy, not because the old man wants to send him to school... but because the old man treats him the best, and the young master and the others will stop playing with him, but the more he does this, the more the old man becomes Be nice to him.Baike said that he wanted to be in a band in the future, and the old man gave him a guitar. When Baike mentioned the comics in the bookstore, the old man would bring back a box of comic books for everyone...

But Bai Ke hated the old man's smug face, because later the old man said that he wanted everyone to see that he was good to Bai Ke, so that everyone would rush to respect him.But the good times didn't last long. Later, the old man was cheated out of his money, and the family situation plummeted.The young master proposed to sell the luxury car in the garage, but the old man yelled and scolded him. The old man was really angry that time.

That night, the old man quietly pulled Bai Ke into his bedroom, and showed Bai Ke the gold bars in his safe. He said don't worry, he still has a lot of money, enough for Bai Ke to go to college, and then form a good relationship. The band will be able to become famous and make money in the future.

Bai Ke was very disturbed. He didn't know why the old man was so kind to him alone. He was still a child at that time, so he naturally confide in his peers.So when he was resting in the snow, he told the young master about the gold bars. Someone suggested that we might as well steal the old man’s gold bars and run away. The outside world is much more interesting when we have money, and we don’t have to stay in this kind of place anymore. A place where you can go out to spend time and drink, you don't have to stay here with this old man for the rest of your life.

At this time, everyone was divided into two factions, one faction advocated stealing the gold bars, and the other faction believed that they should abide by the rules of the old man and not do anything out of line. Someone retorted that the old man was so rich that he just exchanged the car for money , enough for the old man to live till he dies.

At this time, the young master Wang Gu came out from the forest, his face was not very good-looking.

When everyone told Wang Gu about the gold bars, Wang Gu took a look at Bai Ke, didn't say anything, and just walked away silently carrying the firewood.

Slowly, everyone seemed to have forgotten about this matter. Later, when the New Year was approaching, Bai Ke suddenly heard a noise one night, and suddenly found that the bed next to him was empty.The noise came from the old man's bedroom, and he ran to knock on the door to tell the old man that everyone was gone, but the door was locked.Bai Ke knocked for a long time, the door finally opened a crack, and a brother showed half of his face against the door. There was blood on his face, which was still dripping down, but he smiled happily at Bai Ke, and he said go Go, little one, it's none of your business, pack up for us, we're leaving here tonight!

The door was locked again, Bai Ke was a little puzzled, where else could they go after leaving here?

But what worries him now is why his brothers are in the old man's bedroom.

He suddenly thought of gold bars, and his whole body was covered in cold sweat.

This time, Baike finally realized what the noise in the bedroom was. It was a group of people beating a person with wooden sticks. It was the sound of the old man being gagged with cork and the sound of bones breaking.

The old man has been teaching these boys things.

The so-called justice and bravery vanished in the face of interests.

The leaders are the young master, the second child, the third child, and the fourth child, the four guys who lead this group of boys.

It was originally a heartwarming story about the old man taking in the children, but it has such a chilling ending.
