Intermittent and exhausted breathing sounded one after another. Qitiao Huaiyu leaned against the wall and raised the back of his hand to wipe off the blood from the corner of his mouth. He clenched his teeth and slowly tightened his fingers to grasp the long sword. Facing her one-eyed man - Shinsuke Takasugi.

The shortness of breath came to an abrupt end, the back straightened and the body leaned forward slightly. A roar burst out from the throat, and the whole person rushed out like an arrow off the string, piercing through the opponent's chest with a dazzling silver-white blade. , pierced the beating fiery heart.

Accompanied by the gradually expanding blood spray on the deep purple clothes, the strange smile on the corner of the man's mouth did not hold back at all, the body slowly leaning back, the body slowly falling to the ground... the drawn out silver-white blade Still stained with blood, the gushing bright red and the body that landed on the ground disappeared completely, replaced by...flying golden butterflies...

"Ugh—!"

With a cry of horror, he suddenly opened his eyes and saw the already bright ceiling.Accompanied by shortness of breath, Qitiao Huaiyu said to herself...it was just a dream, but the flying golden butterflies and the dangerous smile on the familiar man's mouth did not fade at all, and were still clear.

In the dream, he simulated the scene of killing the man with his own hands countless times, but every time he woke up because of it.

It is clear that more than three months have passed since that time, but every part of my body seems to have deeply remembered the temperature of that man, and a kind of longing that cannot be controlled by the mind is emitted through the cells, tormenting her nerves.This feeling should be described in the end, why it is engraved in the bones as deep as it is, and it has been so long, why there is still no way to forget it.

Getting up from the tatami, Shichijo Huaiyu began to change into Momoka Yoshiwara's clothes, a dark purple kimono cheongsam that was changed to make it easier to move, and a black face scarf that only exposed a pair of eyes.Standing up, she finally tidied up her clothes in front of the mirror, turned her head inadvertently, and saw the sachet she had embroidered by herself beside the pillow, and the word "Jin Zhu" on it was clear at a glance.

Qitiao Huaiyu was silent for a while, walked over to pick it up, and stuffed it silently into his belt pocket.

Walked to the door, opened the door, and walked out.

——Life goes on, and everything can start all over again.

As long as one does not despair.

...As long as people don't despair...?

The forward steps stopped unconsciously, Qitiao Huaiyu slowly turned his head and looked at the road he had just walked, as if he was looking back on the short life journey he had walked in his life.

From the age of 17, I came to Edo Castle with the ambition in my heart, and wanted to be recognized by the shogunate as a female samurai.However, it took less than a year to hold such an idea, and the original ambition disappeared.Betrayed, teased, humiliated, discarded, forgotten...

Deep hatred and indelible strange feelings for the enemy, as well as the unknown and a little despair about the future.

It was officially midsummer that year, and the sound of cicadas chirping outside was a bit disturbing.

In the only kendo gym in the village, the clash of swords and swords masked the chirping of cicadas outside, and the sound of panting and footsteps was chaotic.And who was out of tune with this, standing in front of the window sill and looking at the rustling leaves outside the window, Ikeda Shengji, a master of swordsmanship, turned his back to Qijo Huaiyu who was kneeling on the ground, and entered a brief moment of silence.

Just now, this female disciple who was the most proud of herself said to herself: "I want to be recognized by the general and become a real warrior."

"Huaiyu, in your eyes... what is considered a 'samurai'." Ikeda Moriji tilted his head slightly, looked at Qijo Huaiyu who was still kneeling on the ground with his head bowed, and said clearly It made her think: "For you, it's about being recognized by others, right?"

He nodded without hesitation.

For Qijo Huaiyu, the title of "samurai" must be recognized by others.

Ikeda Shengji fell silent, he wanted to persuade his most proud disciple.But when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say them. Thousands of words turned into a sigh, and he seemed to be talking to himself: "Then how can I get the approval of others? Be the 'strongest' Is it? Everyone has everyone's definition of 'samurai' in their hearts, so how can you meet everyone's requirements."

"As long as you become the strongest." Huaiyu said so innocently at the time.

"Is it stronger than a man?" Ikeda Shengji asked back, "But, Huaiyu, do you know... women, no matter how strong they are, are inferior to men in terms of strength and physical strength. Women, there is never a way To become the 'strongest', no matter how strong her self-esteem is, no matter how unwilling she is, the facts are there and can never be changed. Why do you want to be a 'samurai' in the eyes of others? In my opinion Ah, Huaiyu... you are now a qualified warrior."

Qitiao Huaiyu listened to what his master said, but still lowered his head.

It's not enough to get these, just these are not enough!Far from being able to satisfy myself...

To get more recognition, one's abilities and ambitions are completely unknown.You will become stronger, stronger and stronger, and you will become a real warrior recognized by everyone!

With such ambition, she stood at the entrance of the village, said a final farewell to her parents...and that "incompetent" younger brother, poked his brother on the head and told him to take good care of his father and mother, and then...the head He walked forward without turning back, and kept walking without shedding a single tear.

The steps that have been going forward, after experiencing the ups and downs ahead, are mentally exhausted and soul-stuck, and then stop.

Some wanted to laugh, and hooked the corners of their mouths... All that was left was self-deprecating.

Where did my lofty ambitions go now? Could it be that I was pressed under a certain man three months ago, and came out along with the rapid panting and groaning.

I want to move forward, but there is darkness ahead.

Qitiao Huaiyu urgently needs...the sunshine in her heart.

……

The sky is fair, no one will be treated differently, and everyone will be given sunshine equally.But sometimes, God will give us trials, night comes...or the sun is covered by rain clouds, but we will never be lost...because there is no eternal night, and the rain will definitely stop.

As long as there is the sun in our hearts, our hearts will not be confused.

But at that time we did not understand that the brighter the sun, the darker the shadows it produces.

The sun wheel is like the sun in Yoshiwara, emitting its own light in this sunless place.

……

I have lived here for more than three months.

Qitiao Huaiyu walked to the flower building closest to Yewang Fengxian's residence, couldn't help but stop, looked up at this beautiful woman sitting high above, and pursed her lips - this woman, as the oiran of Yoshihara Street, is naturally It is undeniable and undeniable that a subtle ray of light in the infinite darkness is enough to give everyone hope.

The two guards standing at the gate of the Hualou saw several members of Baihua parked in front of their Hualou. Although they were all wearing black face scarves, they could still recognize them from their special attire. The woman wearing a samurai sword in Rilun is the one who has just been promoted in the past month and is loved by the leader of Baihua, Yueyong-Qijo Huaiyu with unlimited prospects.

The two flattered and hugged their thighs and leaned closer: "Chief Qitiao, are you here to patrol the streets? Please bear with me in the future."

Forced by this person's words to pull her back from her thoughts, Qitiao Huaiyu hastily replied "Mmm".He raised his head and continued to look at the woman, and when he was about to ask, he was interrupted by a childish voice from a little boy beside him: "Uncle, I also brought money here today."

He lowered his head and looked at the little boy who had just grown to his shoulders. At this moment, he was reaching into his dirty cuffs with his dirty hands to take out a dirty money bag.The guard, on the other hand, seemed to be perfunctory, and said casually: "It's really hard for you to come to give money every day." Then he stretched out his hand and took the little boy's money in a grandiose manner.

"You have to keep it on the account!" A few banknotes and a few pieces of steel coins.From the conversation between the two, it can be heard that the little boy came here almost every day, and the total value of these coins does not seem to be much, but they are not a day's wages at all. Yu can almost guess it.

Looking at the supposedly immature child, there was a layer of incomprehensible haze in his eyes. At this moment, Qitiao Huaiyu also noticed a samurai with silver-white curly hair and a wooden knife who was also approaching.Although the other party didn't notice him, Shichijo Huaiyu vaguely remembered this man - just a few months ago, when he was still on Jinsuke's boat, that man had been with Okada Nizo who had turned into a monster fought and defeated him.

- A strong man.

——A person who once fought side by side with Takasugi Shinsuke, but now he broke up completely.

Qitiao Huaiyu still remembers that the boy who was with that man once wanted to stretch out his hand—"Miss Qitiao... Although I don't know who you are, but... come with us together? Get out of here, soon The ship is sinking!"

However, he didn't react at all, what he was thinking about...was Shinsuke Takasugi's invitation to him to let him...be his companion.

At this time, Huaiyu couldn't be sure whether he and him were acquaintances, and fell into embarrassment unilaterally, feeling that the black face scarf was probably enough to make the other party a stranger to him.The high-heeled shoes hit the ground and made a "click-click" sound, facing the man who seemed to be familiar and walking towards him. As the distance gradually approached, Huaiyu still raised his hand anxiously and pulled the face towel upward.

When they passed each other, Sakata Gintoki looked back at the woman who had gone away.

Has a breath that is different from everyone else.

There is also a familiar feeling, deja vu.

But he didn't think much about it, he has been living on land, how could he know the girls here when he first came to Yoshihara's Sakata Gintoki.

It has been some time since the end of the red cherry trial knife murder case, and Sakata Gintoki has also entered his daily life.Meeting Qingta and coming to Yoshiwara was just a coincidence, and it was all because that brat stole my wallet...

Well, although there are not many tickets in it, it is a matter of face!

"What's the situation...?" Sakata Gintoki looked at the short Haruta with peeping eyes, and saw him put on an "obvious" appearance of a cocky little adult and said, "Of course it's for women! "

Then, the two funny guys stared like this for 5 minutes.

The author has something to say: Why hasn’t it been updated recently~~

Because I was busy with military training when I first started school,

After the military training is over, I am busy previewing new lessons.

After finishing the preview, I entered the translation class (similar to the key class) and started to study hard.

And then began to fall in love,

Then after talking for a month and breaking up, I entered a state of sad lovelorn,

It's the third week of being broken up, and I'm still depressed,

I'll go back and abuse the heroine to make myself feel better (mistake!).

It will continue to be updated in the future, and "Zongman" will probably start again.

Yes, it is like that!

I hope you like this article, old rules!
