Sapphire Warriors

Ever since he was found to be delirious and talking nonsense from the letter written by Master Huagata that day, Fujima specially invited his father to visit him on this day.

After a few rounds of chess, Yixian and Master Huagata saw the clues. When Master Huagata returned to his room to rest, he said to Fujima: "Forgetful and confused, easy to classify, memory disorder, seems to have dementia."

Yixian told Tengzhen that the brain is the sea of ​​marrow, the home of the primordial spirit, and it is used by the gods. The older you are, the less energy in the kidneys, you can't produce marrow, the sea of ​​marrow is empty, the marrow is reduced and the brain disappears, and the natural gods don't work. into dementia.Moreover, the location of this disease is the heart and liver and gallbladder meridians. Whether it can be cured depends mainly on the strength of his stomach qi, which is very difficult.

However, he still prescribed a medicine to invigorate Qi and calm the mind for Master Huaxing, even if it could not cure the symptoms, it could still alleviate the symptoms.

The two were chatting, and Yixian saw Nan Lie back, this was the first time he saw Nan Lie.So he casually asked Tengzhen about Nanlie, and Tengzhen told him that although Nanlie was unsmiling and withdrawn, he was not bad-hearted.

Yixian knew Tengzhen well, and saw that he spoke of Nanlie so well, so he teased: "It seems that you get along well with him."

Fujima has always been sensitive, so he heard his father's implication immediately, and immediately made excuses: "Father, you think too much, it's just one more person and one more pair of chopsticks."

It is said that although Sakuragi gave up the idea of ​​killing Kiyota Nobunaga, but because of this incident, he was depressed all day long. Not only did he not go back to Tianxianglou to take care of his sister, but he was so outrageous that he hid, making it easy for Miyuki to find, but still looking for her. No, it was Haruko who guessed his hiding place.

On this day, Haruko specially prepared some pastries and went to the outskirts, the thatched cottage by the river.

The thatched cottage is the place Sakuragi took her here before the accident. Sakuragi told her that once when she was a child, a prostitute knocked over the basin in his hand, but said that he deliberately poured water on himself, forcing him to Losing money, Sakuragi will not pay for life or death, Miyuki was attracted by the dispute between the two.Unexpectedly, Miyuki slapped Sakuragi without saying anything, and even apologized to the client.Because of this matter, Sakuragi ran away from home in a fit of anger, and came to this hut in the suburbs. Although the hut has been in disrepair for a long time, it is Sakuragi's secret base. Whenever he is unhappy, he will come here to let himself go. , even Miyuki didn't know there was such a place.

Holding the food box, Haruko carefully pushed open the door of the hut.

Sure enough, Sakuragi was hiding in the straw pile in the corner, looking like "the mud can't support the wall".

Haruko stepped forward to wake him up, then handed him the baked sweet potato she brought, and seeing him gobbling it up, she poured him another bowl of water, and then said softly, "No one is robbing you, eating so fast what?"

Sakuragi didn't speak, he hadn't eaten for three days, he was so hungry that his chest stuck to his back.

Seeing this, Haruko asked, "How long are you going to hide here, are you ignoring Sister Miyuki?"

"Can you not mention her!" Sakuragi raised his head and shouted.

No matter how good-tempered Haruko was, she couldn't help it now, and she also asked Sakuragi loudly: "Can you not think about it if I don't mention it?"

"I caused all the injuries she suffered, how can I have the face to see her again?" Sakuragi said his reason.

"Sister Miyuki didn't blame you, get up quickly and go back with me."

After finishing speaking, Haruko went to grab Sakuragi's arm, but Sakuragi was also stubborn and refused to go back, saying that she would rather hide here for the rest of her life than go out and be ashamed of herself.

Seeing this, Haruko was full of grievances, and said with tears in her eyes: "Look at you, what you look like, you smell bad, if it wasn't for Sister Miyuki, I wouldn't have come here at all. Every time I come out to look for you, I will go back I was scolded by Ms. Mari, and now that I have found this place, I will be scolded by you again."

Hearing this, it would be a lie to say that I don’t feel sad. Sakuragi glanced out the window and saw that it was already sunset, so he said to Haruko: "Go, Tianxiang Tower is about to open. I am stupid, I was deceived Qian, I'm damned, I hurt my sister, I don't want to hurt anyone else, you go."

Haruko was helpless, seeing the sun was going down, Sakuragi couldn't persuade her anymore, so she said, "I'll come see you in a few days." Then she left the hut.

……

Although Sakuragi doesn't appreciate it, there is someone in Tianxianglou who misses Haruko, and that person is Yohei.

Yohei came to the kitchen to find something to eat. Seeing that Haruko was crying, he quietly took the kitchen knife from Haruko's hand, and then turned the kitchen knife into a bunch of small chrysanthemums in two or three strokes. He thought that Haruko would laugh, but unexpectedly, Wept even more sadly, and said in his mouth: "Stop playing, I have been scolded enough today, I don't want to be scolded by Miss again."

Yanghei couldn't see girls crying, let alone the pure and beautiful Haruko, so he immediately turned the little chrysanthemum into a kitchen knife, brought it to Haruko, and said, "I feel so wronged, why don't I show you a serious trick? "

"No need, it's all a lie."

"Won't it be a lifetime of cheating and coaxing? Isn't it great?"

"I'm afraid it's okay to deceive people, but it will be miserable to be deceived."

Only then did Yohei realize that she was talking about Sakuragi, so she comforted: "Isn't Sakuragi alright? Everyone has been released."

"Let it out, but don't come back."

"You seem to care about Sakuragi?" Yohei looked at her with interest.

"Nonsense, I just care about sister Miyuki. Don't you see how haggard she looks?" Haruko immediately argued, but her cheeks flushed.

Yohei's heart sank, and he swayed, it seemed that Haruko really fell in love with that Sakuragi, but after thinking about it, there was still a warm smile on the corner of his mouth and said: "I see, don't you too?" After finishing speaking, Picking up the char siu on the chopping board and eating it, he walked out while eating, muttering: "This char siu is really delicious..."

Leaving Haruko with a sad face...

There is an old saying: "Eat Cao Cao's food, think about Liu Bei's affairs." It is said that Mitsui's current "people are not in the heart" look.

Since he met Caizi, he seldom went to Tianxiang Tower, and the occasional few times were purely entertainment.According to him, it's because he doesn't want others to think that he often hangs around the place of fireworks.

"Oh? Really? Is it Fujima, or me?" Nan Lie asked seriously.

Mitsui blushed instantly, and asked with a dry laugh, "When did you learn to make fun of others?"

Nan Lie smiled slightly and said, "Caizi came back to visit us before and said that you often go to her place at night to help her chop firewood."

"Really? Uh, well, the weather is getting colder and colder, isn't it? Prepare early when it's not snowing, prepare early." Mitsui faltered and explained it again, and after he finished speaking, he found Nan Lie's face The meaning of ridicule, after a while, I realized that I was played by him again.

While the two were talking, De Nan came to report to Mitsui, saying that someone from the inner hall had come, and asked Mitsui to go and have a look.

The person sitting in the inner hall was none other than Master Hanagata. Not only did he take out the official uniform he used to wear when he was a censor, he even went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to try the case in the official uniform. Fortunately, Mitsui and Fuji are good friends. Not only did he not blame Master Huaxing, but he coaxed him into agreeing to go home.

Just as Fujima was in a hurry about the disappearance of Master Huaxing, I saw Mitsui and Nanlie accompanied Master Huaxing back to Yushifu.

While entering the door, Master Huaxing said, "That year, King Cheng committed a rebellion. Fortunately, I found evidence..."

"It all depends on the wisdom of the adults, and finally found out the truth." Mitsui cooperated and bowed to the side.

At this time, Master Huagata saw Fujima, so he ordered: "Kenji, they are my new colleagues in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. Let them have dinner in the mansion at night. Go and ask the servants to cook more dishes. "

Fuji really understood that Master Huagata must be confused again, so he also cooperated and said: "Okay."

"Then it's Master Lao." Mitsui cooperated and bowed again.

After dinner, Fujima saw that the weather was clear, so he moved the crib and sat in the garden.

At this time, Nan Lie came, and Nan Lie told him that Master Huaxing had already taken the medicine, and today he was very happy, talking about his prestige and prestige when he was an official all night, laughing so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

Tengzhen felt a little embarrassed, and said: "I'm sorry to trouble you, dad said Shi Bo has dementia, so sometimes he gets confused."

Nan Lie shook his head, and comforted him, "You're not very confused. I played chess with Mitsui and won all three games."

Fuji really smiled, but the smile still couldn't hide his haggard look. He sighed and said: "I won today, maybe the day after tomorrow, I don't even know how to get away."

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much..."

"I'm not worried. It's normal for people to live, grow old, get sick and die. What's more, Shi Bo is free from illness and disaster, and he is happy every day. This is already very good." After Fujima finished speaking, he picked up the stone table The rattle tickled the little baby.

The baby is much more active than when he was just born, and now he is teased with a rattle, and his eyes can already follow the rattle.

Nan Lie saw that Tengzhen liked children so much, his heart warmed up, and the previous thoughts hovered in his mind again, but this time, he seized the opportunity and asked: "If you like children so much, why don't you find someone to marry?" ?”

"Huh? Me? I... this... that..." Fujima faltered, what should I say, saying that he likes men?Will Nan Lie regard him as a different kind?I didn't think so before, but now that Nan Lie asked him this question, Tengzhen suddenly felt that this was a difficult question for him to ask, so he had an idea and asked: "Then you are not young, why don't you get married?"

Nan Lie gave a dry laugh, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I'm a prisoner on death row."

It turned out that ten years ago, before Nan Lie was going to marry Mu Mu Gongyan's younger sister, he was sentenced to death for accidentally beating a hooligan who molested a civilian girl. Just before his execution, he met his master Bei Ye who was still an executioner at that time.

In the job of executioner, because of killing too many people, they bear a lot of injustices. Most people are afraid of retribution and are reluctant to enter the job. As time goes by, there are fewer and fewer executioners. Sometimes even a county may not have an executioner.After the court learned about it, it promulgated a decree. If the death row prisoner is willing to be an executioner, the execution can be suspended until the day when he will no longer be an executioner.

The day Bei Ye met Nan Lie, he asked Nan Lie a question: "Do you regret it?"

Nan Lie answered him: "I regret it." What he regretted was not his brave actions, but his impulsiveness, which killed someone by mistake.

Because of this sentence, Bei Ye accepted Nan Lie as an apprentice, because he saw that Nan Lie's too cold appearance actually hides a compassionate heart.

In this way, Nan Lie became an executioner for ten years. He was not allowed to marry a wife or have children. One day he would no longer be an executioner, but he still needed to obey the law. This was his destiny.

"What about you?" Nan Lie asked back after finishing speaking.

It was only then that Fujima realized from the story just now, but he didn't expect that Nan Lie still remembered this question, and seeing that he couldn't escape, so his heart broke, and he said shamelessly: "Guess?"

Nan Lie smiled, and it's not difficult for him to guess. He once saw Fujima reading by candlelight in the yard. As he read, a smile appeared on his face, and as he read, his smile changed again. It became sad, and one guessed it, and it must not be reading those boring medical books, so Nan Lie quietly asked Xiao Lian what books Teng Zhen often read, but Xiao Lian blurted out that the young master never reads.Just when Nan Lie felt strange, Xiao Lian said as if waking up from a dream: "Could the young master be reading a novel written by Master Huaxing?"

Therefore, Nan Lie boldly guessed that the relationship between Fujima and that flower-shaped young master must not be simple. The threshold should be posted upside down.[-]. Fujima and Mr. Hanagata are not related, but they are willing to take care of him for so many years. It is too far-fetched to explain this move with enthusiasm and kindness alone.

However, these are all conjectures in Nan Lie's mind and have not been confirmed to anyone. But since he has confessed to Fujima at this moment, there is no need to hide it, so he boldly asked: "Master Huaxing passed away. Are your son and you..."

"Yes!" Fujima replied, instead of reminding him of fear, it would be better to admit it openly.

Nan Lie laughed, this smile really pissed off Tengzhen, he saw that his eyes were wide open, and he said: "I know you are the same as those worldly people." After speaking, he got up and carried the child to his room .

Nan Lie didn't stop him, just looked at his leaving back, and smiled even brighter...
