[Gintama] The Story of Me and Curly Yaksha

My Story with Curly Yaksha 21

Zhiyi stayed in the small town for several months without knowing it, and the town has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past few months.

"If I can make this group of thieves who are doing evil in this nearby town disappear, you can go to Edo with me." Zhiyi made such a bet with her at the time, and this sentence was unbelievable, and also It was too exaggerated. At that time, Miyamoto Aoi thought she was joking, so she agreed.

Afterwards, what was surprising was that the thieves had internal strife for unknown reasons, and were then arrested by a nearby police station on suspicion of stealing weapons from government agencies.It is obvious that he is just a villain in a rural town who is not taken seriously, but he is involved in such a serious matter, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel tricky, as if he was being calculated by someone.

Hayasaka Ori is like a prophet. She only helps out in Miyamoto Aoi's flower shop every day. The only difference is that in the afternoon or noon after work, Ori will bring wine and meals to the nearby Vagabonds and down-and-out samurai chat with them one after another, and anyone who is approached by such a beauty is willing to chat with her for a while.

Sometimes some kind and righteous ronin would express their desire to repay Zhiyi, and Zhiyi would ask them to do some very simple things in return, such as helping to buy something and running errands.

These little things are like dark threads, which play a role at a certain time. The weaving weaves those thin threads into a net in her mind, and finally promotes her to achieve her goal.

Such a meticulous layout ability is not possessed by ordinary people. At first, Aoi Miyamoto was also puzzled, and asked her, "Azhi, how did you do it?"

"It's no big deal. Those tramps and down-and-out warriors will work for all kinds of people in order to survive. They will do all kinds of dirty work, including the villains and bandits around here, so they probably know a lot of inside information. And I'm not Dealing with them, just chatting with them, asking them to tell me interesting things. Sometimes people who are grateful will say something back, and I just put"

Zhiyi is not proud of what she has done, as if it is just a very simple thing.She held the flower branches in her hands and tied them into a bunch with great care, but they always loosened, which made her a little distressed.

As long as the chess game can be formed from her mind, it is not difficult for her. The stage in this rural town is too small for her to display strategies. To her, completing these is as simple as playing a simulated intelligence game. .

She is still working hard to complete the work in her hands. Compared with using her brain to plot and calculate, the practical work of the flower shop in front of her is more difficult for her, a pampered lady who has been pampered all the year round.

Eventually, she ended up putting together a large bouquet of different varieties, wrapping it in colored paper and adorning it with colorful ribbons.Although her bundled bouquets are still not as skilled and exquisite as Aoi Miyamoto, they are not too bad. It's just that she has made a lot of progress in the work of the flower shop in the past few months. Of course, she is far from being able to open a shop. Not even close.

Zhiyi gently caressed the petals, and the overly calm eyes in her black eyes made her feel dangerous. She chuckled and said, "The accumulation of very small information, or the accumulation of very small things, will unknowingly become huge." strength."

Miyamoto Aoi looked at her, and the wolf-like intuition and fighting instinct hidden in her body told her that the woman in front of her was scary, not because of her fighting power, but because of another aspect.If someone offends her, I guess I don't even know how to die.

Although it took a lot of time, it was really creepy to disintegrate a bandit group in such a bloodless way.This is easy to say, but there are many variables in the actual implementation, and it can only be said that it is a miracle that can promote the implementation of the plan.

Compared with commanding soldiers to fight, weaving clothes is better at manipulating people's hearts and playing games with others. Although a natural official, although she is still pure and straightforward in her heart, it may be because of this, because she is too pure, that she has Sometimes even she herself didn't realize how cruel what she was doing.

All in all, Aoi Miyamoto lost the bet this time.Miyamoto Aoi's father told her that since a samurai agreed to the bet, she would be willing to admit defeat in the end.

"Okay, let me go to Edo with you." Miyamoto Aoi said to her helplessly but with some expectation. After all, she still yearns for the towns outside. After all, young people, everyone has a career A lot of pride.

"Yeah!" Hayasaka Ori raised his hands happily, like a child who got candy.

"I really can't see through you..." Yong Shan on the side also felt extremely helpless.

Zhi Yi is a very contradictory person, with the ability to treat people as props and indifferent calculations to achieve his goals, but still retains pure and simple emotions, just like a robot who has just come into the world.

Hayasaka Ori is happily packing up her things and preparing to go to Edo in a few days. She is full of longing for the future. Her mind is indeed turning faster than others, so she often has the illusion that everything is under control. .

However, God is always so cruel, and always likes to send disasters to people, to the extent that the little happiness and self-confidence in your heart are crushed in an instant.

-

Just two days before the departure, dozens of wounded men poured into the town. Judging from their clothes, they were front-line soldiers, as if they had lost the war and had to flee.

If it weren't for the trend of the situation, who would be willing to go to the expedition? These soldiers are indeed pitiful, and the villagers didn't drive them away and let them recuperate in the village.

Seeing them weaving clothes, I had a very bad premonition in my heart, and I was in a trance all day until I went to a nearby restaurant for dinner with Miyamoto Aoi at night.

She heard some residents who were eating next to them comment, "Hey, did you hear that? I heard that the anti-barbarian army was destroyed, and that anti-barbarian thinker named Yoshida Shoyo was beheaded."

"Really?! Those are the four patriots who created countless miracles on the battlefield! Yoshida Shoyo who could teach such a monster must be even more terrifying, so he was destroyed like this?"

"Look at the soldiers who fled into the town recently, they seem to be from the anti-barbarian army. It is difficult for a rural town like ours to receive timely news on the battlefield. It was destroyed, and Yoshida Matsuyo was beheaded. The four generals don't know what happened... But my friend in Edo told me that Shirayasha seems to have been arrested and beheaded, and I don't know if it's true or not. "

"What?! No way! That's the man called Shiroyasha! The guy who's called the devil!"

"It was executed by the Ikeda family, the royal executioner of the imperial court. I heard that their family has the beheading skills of cutting off the head and skin. Generally, they only beheaded high-ranking officials and nobles who committed capital crimes. Those who can be beheaded by their family can also be regarded as a generation. He's a hero."

"After all, it's the majestic White Yaksha. If he is really caught, he should be treated like this hahaha."

Those people were just drinking wine and talking about these things on the battlefield in a very ordinary tone. For them, these things are too far away. In fact, it doesn't matter to the common people who wins and who loses. They just want to end the war as soon as possible.

It's just that these words fell into Zhiyi's ears, but it was different. She froze in place, and the chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

Miyamoto Aoi was the first to notice her strangeness, and looked at her suspiciously, "Azhi? What's wrong with you?"

There was no expression on her face, as if in a daze, she stood up without warning, and ran out of the restaurant quickly.

"Azhi! Azhi! Where are you going!" Miyamoto Aoi chased after her.

Zhiyi quickly ran out of the restaurant. There were many soldiers returning from the front line on the street. They rested in this small town. Most of them were wounded, leaning against the wall weakly and tiredly.

"Are you also people with lofty ideals? Which army are you from? What happened to them at Yinshi?"

Zhiyi stepped forward and pulled the collar of a soldier, his expression was a little dazed, with some kind of fear, which seemed a little scary.Such a move startled the soldier, who suddenly pushed him away.

"Hey! Who are you!" Other soldiers also gathered around, looking at Zhiyi in a bad tone.Originally, he narrowly escaped death on the battlefield, and his mood was very depressed, and now he was entangled by such a crazy woman.

"Calm down, Azhi! What are you doing?!" Aoi Miyamoto hurried over to stop her, and then apologized to the soldier.

"Sorry, this child's lover is also a frontline fighter. Now that the war has been defeated, accurate frontline news has not yet come out. She is too worried. Don't blame her. We just want to ask some frontline news, would you like to tell us? "

Miyamoto Aoi hugged Zhiyi to prevent her from acting impulsively. The soldier seemed to understand something when he saw her, his eyes gradually darkened. "A lot of information has been restricted by the shogunate, so you don't know it yet. The fact is true, the war against barbarians... our samurai were defeated..."

Zhiyi's originally dazed expression gradually calmed down, and she said urgently, "Then you should know about the unit called the Four Patriotic Soldiers, how are they doing now? How are Mr. Gaoshan, Ayin, and Mr. Gui?" gone?"

The soldier frowned slightly, "Those three chiefs disappeared after that...but someone from Edo said that chief Sakata had been arrested and executed immediately."

Hearing this, Zhiyi's face became paler. She didn't shed tears immediately, probably because her brain hadn't digested the information, or the impact of this reality was too great for her to accept. She just stood there silently, His expression was very dazed.

Zhiyi never thought that the war against the barbarians would end so soon. In fact, she didn't think that the people with lofty ideals had a great chance of winning. It was just that the heavens and humans had never been interested in these little bugs, and the shogunate was busy flattering the heavens and humans and rarely sent troops. Regardless of the rebel army, it is almost always thrown to the local army.

She didn't expect Tianren to make a move so soon, and why did she make a move?

However, Zhiyi is no longer able to analyze these things anymore, she can't calm herself down, and her whole body falls into a state of emotional out-of-control.

Zhiyi's ability to control her own emotions is too poor. This is her fatal weakness and her own flaw. This is also the result of her lack of emotion since she was a child.Because she has never been cared about by others and doesn't understand her feelings very well, she still hasn't learned how to release and control her feelings in normal ways like ordinary people.

Such a defect was destined to be a hindrance to her too clever mind.No matter how smart she is, she is still a human being. Since she is a human being, she is easily overwhelmed by emotions. This is the first time for her who has always been emotionally indifferent to experience such fearful and strong emotions. She really doesn't know how to deal with them.

In her desolate inner world, a short love once filled her heart like a spring and made her gentle.If you have nothing at all, it's okay to say, the most painful thing is to have it and then lose it.

"A Yin..."

She closed her eyes and forced herself to calm down, but her mind was still blank, and she casually walked out along the street.Miyamoto Aoi grabbed her wrist, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to Edo...I'm going right now..." Zhiyi lowered her head, put her hand on her forehead, stretched her fingers into her hair, and pulled her black hair with some force, as if she wanted to force herself Calm down, but the huge emotional shock made her at a loss.

Miyamoto Aoi looked at her, then hugged her tightly, patted her on the back, and said in an uncharacteristically calm and reliable tone, "Calm down."

Zhiyi still didn't cry or make trouble when she hugged her, his fingers grabbed his hair, looking a little messy, but his body trembled a little, and he murmured: "What should I do... What should I do... If that person really ...No...no...they are so strong...the first time I saw four warriors who are so strong like them, how could they be easily...silver, he will be fine..."

"Did something happen to your important person?" Miyamoto Aoi still patted her on the back and asked softly, but she didn't get any response or care. She patiently comforted Zhiyi, "Calm down, my dad said the smarter you are people are more likely to be affected by emotions,"

"If you have a car tomorrow, you can go directly to Edo. You can know the condition of that person when you go there tomorrow."

"No, no, I want to go now..." Zhiyi shook her head in her arms, she was not at all like the robot in the past who could hold people's hearts in her hands and weave all the information in her mind. Like a child who has been deprived of something important, willful, stubborn and pitiful.

Weaving always feels mysterious, sometimes pure like a child, which makes people feel very contradictory, it is difficult to guess her inner world, and sometimes she is indifferent to reason.But this kind of contradiction stems from her inner flaws. Her heart seems to have a hole. The way she shows her affection is very extreme.

Sometimes too calm, as if everything is under her control, indifferent like a robot.But once you touch your inner world, you will react very violently, and it is very easy to lose control of your emotions.

As time goes by, Zhiyi's inner flaws will only become more and more serious, and few people will understand her like this.But Miyamoto Aoi vaguely felt her emotions relying on her intuition, she didn't force her anymore, and patted her on the shoulder, "Okay, since you want to go now, I'll contact the boatman to take you there tonight."

"Your important person will be fine."
