Ah Xun didn't want to be seen with his emaciated and weak side, so he locked the compartment door with his backhand, hugging the sink in the bathroom and couldn't bear it any longer.My chest seemed to be clogged with a lump of paste, and it was very uncomfortable to be unable to move up or down.Just now, Mr. Purgatory's palm slapped on the back to loosen the lump, and it seemed to be slowly moving outward with the cough.

It was very painful, the lungs seemed to be torn and squeezed by a pair of invisible hands, the darkness and pain caused by the lack of oxygen, and the fear of suffocation, all of these were urging her survival instincts and forced her to stop taking a deep breath to let the block The slime on the chest returns to where it originally hid - but it can't.

If you follow the long-established inertia of your body in pursuit of a more comfortable feeling, you will no longer be able to breathe deeply.Once you find excuses for your avoidance on the first try, you will come up with different reasons for self-indulgence every time in the future.Now that you have decided to embark on the road to bid farewell to the past, looking back hesitantly will only stumble the steps you have already taken.

The back of the girl's hand clutched at the corner of the wooden table burst out with blue veins, as if she was as stubborn as she was afraid of regret, and refused to allow herself to back down.The stuck trachea could only barely open a gap, so she propped herself on the washbasin to hold back the rapid urging of her lungs and waited for the wisps of air to slowly fill the chest cavity.When the time was ripe, he closed his eyes and coughed forcefully again. There was a sharp pain in his chest, and his throat felt fishy. A large mouthful of black blood mixed with a puddle of unknown viscous liquid splashed into the washbasin.

The pain in the chest seemed to be torn apart, but there was an indescribable sense of pleasure floating in the body. Kaoru had never discovered that breathing was such an easy and comfortable thing.The symptoms of hypoxia gradually subsided, and the buzzing in the ears gradually weakened. Only then did Mr. Purgatory knock on the door anxiously outside the bathroom.She raised her hand and patted the door panel to show that she was conscious and alive, and the people outside were relieved and no longer worried.

Kaoru turned on the faucet to wash away the filth she spit out, propped herself up on the table and tried to breathe with full concentration again.After that, he coughed a few times and brought something out, until the spit out was only bright red, then he rinsed his mouth and washed his face again, unlocked the door and walked out, bowed and apologized to the passengers who were watching from afar: "I'm sorry, I have been working in a cotton mill for a long time, and my lungs are not very good. It is not a contagious disease, and it scares everyone, sorry."

A petite and cute little girl, her pale cheeks were dyed an unnatural red, and the tips of her slightly curly hair were stained with water droplets that dripped down with gravity.this look

No one could bear to embarrass them, the passengers complained and comforted a few words, and after seeing that there was really no follow-up, they slowly dispersed and sat back in their seats.

Returning to the seat again, Ah Xun looked at Purgatory Xingshourou with bright eyes and whispered: "Mr. Purgatory, Mr. Purgatory! I seem to be able to learn the breathing method. The deeper the breathing, the body will become lighter."

"Wow! So it turned out to be like this!" He was a little surprised that the delicate-looking little girl was able to endure the pain of dying alone to break through the initial and hardest limit. It seems that her evaluation needs to be revised again: "I already have a stepson, and Hua Zhu has just adopted a stepson these two days. The other Zhus may not have the time or it is not suitable... When I go back to the Butterfly House, I will ask my colleagues for you to see who is interested in adopting a stepson."

The trainers are basically former pillars. They were either physically damaged or old in the constant struggle with ghosts. After stepping back from the position of pillars, they devoted themselves to cultivating new forces for the ghost killing team.The stepson is the heir appointed by Zhu Qin, which is somewhat different from the meaning in the inheritance relationship but not much different.

——The strength of stepsons is often stronger than that of ordinary soldiers, and they also bear greater responsibilities.

The little girl in front of her who has just embarked on the road of cultivation can bear this weight.

The train rattled along the rails and continued to move forward without stopping. They changed trains several times during the journey, and they arrived at the terminal two days later, which is the outskirts of Tokyo Prefecture.Finding a nearby courtyard surrounded by wisterias, Purgatory Kyoshouro pointed to the endless purple flower clusters around and explained to Kaoru: "This is where survivors who have been favored by the Demon Slayer Squad or who have been killed by ghosts gather together The living place, where the team members can take a temporary rest between missions, it is called 'Wisteria House' or 'Fujishita House'. Please wait here for a while, I have to meet the Lord first."

Kaoru thanked him sincerely, and Xing Shoulang smiled and patted her furry head like a kitten: "I look forward to meeting you next time, Miss Kaoru." After speaking, he withdrew his hand and waved, and the two said goodbye.

This time Yin came faster than before, within half an hour after Purgatory Xingshoulang left, someone came to pick her up, blindfolded her eyes as usual, and turned around, and when she was put down and untied the black cloth, the gate of the Butterfly House was just around the corner in sight.

"Thank you." The girl turned around and thanked the two Yin who sent her over. The two jumped back half a step as if startled, hurriedly returned the gift, and fled in a hurry. La" response.

It turned out to be shy...

Kaoru:

"..."

Just... This reaction is a bit familiar.

It took only half a month before and after, and the state of mind when I returned to Butterfly House was very different from before.Kaoru pushed open the wooden door and walked into the courtyard, only to see the purple waves brought by the wisteria in the breeze.

The rustling sound of friction between flower clusters makes the courtyard especially quiet.

The direction of the wind changed, and it seemed that something gently spread its wings and rushed over.The girl stood still, allowing the girl behind her to stretch out her hand and suddenly cover her eyes.These small hands are filled with medicine mixed with the warm fragrance of wisteria flowers, and you can feel a bit callused in the warmth: "Oh! Look who this is, remember me? Guess it~"

"I'm back, Shinobu." Kaoru pursed her lips and smiled, and put her hand on the back of her hand—it seemed that she was no longer angry, which is really great!

"Huh? You guessed it right? I have prepared so many punishments, it seems that I won't be able to use them today, what a pity." Hu Die let go, and turned to Kaoru: "I heard that you decided to stay and join the ghost killing team." gone?"

"..."

The girl paused suspiciously for a while, forcibly ignoring the first half of the sentence she heard about "punishment", and nodded with a "hmm": "Yes."

"If everyone is born with a responsibility to accomplish something, then I am willing to regard the ghost killing team that rescued me from the stream as this responsibility. It is precisely because of the slack and connivance of myself in the past that I will It caused tragedies to happen again and again, and I didn't wake up until recently... Although I don't have a deep understanding of ghosts... But this kind of man-eating monsters must not be completely wiped out, in case one or two escaped After being met by Aji, I always feel that it is not very reassuring..."

The painting style in the first half is quite normal, and people are very moved to know that she is seriously introspecting, but the more it goes on, the weirder it becomes. In the end, Hu Dieren couldn't help but stare dead—well, I know, but Kaoru, can you stop mentioning your fiancé who is squatting far away in an unknown corner of the countryside?

As your little Jinlan sister, am I being forced to eat dog food?

The next day, Hudie Chanahui, who was still patrolling outside, heard the news and hurried back to Butterfly House. She was very happy to see Kaoru standing in front of her, and hurriedly called her newly adopted stepson, Lihualuo Kanaihu, to show her: " The child we rescued from a market bridge somewhere, was violently abused and refused to speak, but she was a kind and good child."

The child's parents didn't even give her a name.

Since then, Kanae gave her the surname "Lihualuo", and changed the ending of her name to the little girl.

Strangers made the child a little scared, and she hid behind her holding Kanae's haori.At first glance, her freshly cleaned hair was tied sideways in a ponytail and a butterfly headgear. She was wearing a black uniform of the Ghost Slayer Squad with a pink and white haori, and her eyes were staring at a certain place in the void without focus.

"Xun, Xun Lu's Kaoru, you can just call me Xun." She read the name to her word by word, Kanai didn't respond, but Ah Xun felt that she had listened.

She touched her pocket, and there was more than half of the small bag of Jinping candy that she had taken from Butterfly House before. The girl took out a paper bag from her sleeve pocket and divided the candy into two parts.One was put back into the sleeve pocket, and one was lifted up in the palm of the hand and handed to Chanahu: "I'll give you candy, it's sweet, it will make you feel better."

She still didn't respond, and Kaoru was not in a hurry, and waited patiently while maintaining the "delivery" posture.After waiting for five or six minutes, Kana moved, holding Kana Megumi's hand tightly, with no expression on her face but a cute aura of "what to do, what to do, can I really accept this kindness?" .

Kaoru laughed, her black eyes gleaming cheerfully.She took a step forward and took Chanahu's hand, and pressed the paper bag containing Jinping candy into her palm: "After eating my candy, I will call my sister from now on!"

Kanae and Shinobu laughed together - just your baby face.

Chestnut Blossom Falling Channai: "..."

A gust of wind swept away the leaves that had fallen on the garden ground.Kaoru let go of her hand pretending nothing happened, and Kanai accepted Kopeito, even though she still had no expression on her face, she was much softer.

"Okay, Kaoru, you've had a long and hard journey, so hurry back to your room and rest." Shinobu pushed the little sister's back and walked towards the dormitory: "You have been living in the ward before, and now you plan to stay in the ghost killing team, so naturally you can't continue Occupying medical resources. I will take you to the new room to see..."

She pushed her all the way to the dormitory of Butterfly House - side by side with Xiaokui Xiaoqing and the others. The small room was four and a half folds in size. There was a small entrance behind the door, and there were only closets and lining Straw mats, although a bit too delicate, are adequate for use.Outside the sliding door is the dazzling purple wisteria, dotted with the tender green of early spring.

"This will be your home from now on, Kaoru." The short-haired girl raised her head slightly and smiled brightly.
