Three thousand congratulations

【1】

Carrying the setting sun on your back, walking with you on the way home

Cooperating with the taller you, take bigger strides as usual

As long as you walk through this ramp, you will be at the intersection where you should say goodbye

You said dejectedly, "I'll be there in a second."

He stretched out his hand to me without looking back

【2】

"Hey, do you know the wig here?" Yin Shi asked Gui while digging his booger.

"It's not a wig, it's Gui. This is my first visit to this place." Gui replied solemnly, crossing his arms.

"Hey, aren't you a patriot? Knowing all the roads in Edo is a matter of course!"

"I don't agree with this point! There are also many people who stay at home and never go out!"

"That's A Zhai at all!"

"It's not A Zhai, it's a soldier with lofty ideals!"

"Enough is enough for you two..." Hong Lian held her forehead with black lines all over her face.

It's okay for these two guys to be separated. Once they get together, there will always be some strange chemical reactions like fighting, complaining about each other, cross talk scene and off-line performance... Besides, in this situation, both of them are in harmony. Are you responsible? If it wasn’t for Mr. Gui who suddenly proposed on the roof of Kabukicho during the moon viewing process, “Master Hongren, this kind of moon viewing is too common. How about we compete who can leap the frog?” Then He jumped directly from the roof and hit Yin Shi who was holding a motorcycle underneath and didn't know it was an electric car.Then it’s fine if Yinshi doesn’t pay attention to him, even though he was smashed badly...

"What the hell are you doing with the wig, are you trying to kill?!"

"Not a wig is Gui!"

"Chaos, I don't care who you are! You almost smashed my car and lost money!"

"Unless you win the breath-holding race!" Mr. Gui started to run after speaking.

"It's not so easy to run, wig, you bastard! Stop! See if I don't run you into the mud of Edo!!" Yinshi rode his little sheep resolutely, started it a few times, and the car just popped out A strange puff of black smoke...

"Um...uh...uh...uh..." Mr. Gui made an indistinct sound while running, and based on human instinct, he probably said "it's not a wig, it's Gui", etc. ···Is he really holding his breath...

Gui, who ran more than half a street, stopped, turned around and found Yinshi who was trembling on a locomotive emitting black smoke, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "Yinshi, you fouled! You didn't hold your breath!"

"Hold your sister! Burn the little universe of the car!"

"Yin Shi is too cunning!!!"

In this way, the two chased after each other and came to a deserted river bank. Since no one knew the place, they started to argue with each other.

Looking carefully at the surrounding scenery, there seemed to be faint lights on the other side of the desolate river beach, "Mr. Gui, Mr. Sakata, look." Honglian pointed with her finger.

"Lighting? Am I not dazzled?" Gintoki rubbed his eyes.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be that..." Gui nodded solemnly.

"I didn't expect to meet here, although I thought it was far away before, I didn't expect it to come so soon..." Yinshi sighed.

Eh?what's the situation?Honglian looked at the light, and then at the two serious-faced men in front of her.

"Excuse me? What happened?" She asked cautiously.

"Hey, haven't you noticed?" Gintoki looked at her with pity.

"Lord Honglian, don't you realize the meaning of the river and the lights?" Gui looked at her solemnly.

"Not at all..." Could it be something extraordinary?

"This is Santuchuan!"

"What?!? Hey, are you talking about the Santuchuan after death??"

"Of course! I didn't expect to reach this point after all..."

"Well, since it's like this, it's no big deal..."

"Haha Yinshi, you still look the same~"

"You too, wig,"

"Not a wig is Gui···"

"Hey, let me tell you, you two... do you think it's a wonderful story in the world..." Guren couldn't help it, "Give me enough time!!!"

"I'm sorry..." The two apologized softly and stood aside to reflect.

"This river seems to have some impressions, and the other bank also seems to have some impressions..." Hong Lian tried hard to remember.

"Yeah, I've already been summoned there, oops, I have to do something quickly!!"

"Master Guren, don't go there!! Come to this world!!"

"Shut up both of you!!" Guren could not wait to throw them into the real Santu River right now.

The world finally calmed down, and Honglian went down the bank to the river. Some cold wind at night blew on her skin, making her memory instantly clear.

At that time...after the sun goes down...it seems to have been here...with that person...

I remember that it was also a hiking trip without a destination. As for the reason for the initiation, it seems that I can’t remember it because of the will, but it must be some kind of distress.

The two aimlessly walked one after the other, and it took a long time to get here. Remember that the other side of the river was still brightly lit at that time?

That's right, there was indeed another world on the other side, brightly lit, with the same hustle and bustle as this side, and the hustle and bustle couldn't cool down even after wading through an icy river.

But now, there are only sporadic lights, and the thin air at night exudes a faint breath. Who is still lingering there?Who has the guts to stay in that barren place?

Apart from the lights on the other side, what else seems to be coming?

If you want to remember, the best way is to play back the scene at that time in front of your eyes.But this cannot be done, those forbidden memories have long been firmly imprisoned in the high wall of reason.

Even I can't get the key.

I can only vaguely touch the outline of some walls, and deduce the length, width and height of the things inside.

Roughly, roughly, maybe?

The closer you get to that number, the more uncomfortable you feel.

It's time to calm down.

"Who's over there!" Yin Shi shouted loudly.

"Eh!?" Honglian was taken aback, and subconsciously moved her feet, but stepped on the mud on the river bank, staggered and fell to the river.

"Lord Honglian, are you alright!" Gui hurried over to help her up.

"It's okay, it's just that the coat is dirty..." Honglian turned her head and frowned to look at the culprit who caused her to fall, and the culprit grabbed an uncle with an innocent face and opened a pair of innocent dead fish eyes and said: " This uncle sneakily hid aside..."

"You are?" Honglian looked at the other party carefully.

"Miss Honglian! It's really you! You're still alive!" The other party almost fell to his knees on the ground in joy.

Looking at the uncle who was crying with joy, Guren blinked and remembered him.

Well, things seem to be getting troublesome.

【3】

I fell in love with this ordinary happiness, that time is still tender now

As long as I look back, those hands are by my side, I still feel this way

Once upon a time, only you were reflected in my eyes, as long as I was with you, I could smile

I fall in love with everything that stirs everything from the fingertips that hold each other

Let go of each other's hands at the intersection of saying goodbye, and the two take steps back to back

Inadvertently looking back and lightly looking ahead, but I can’t see you anymore

【4】

The three of them were sitting in the uncle's roadside wine stall. Before that, Guren took off her coat and put it on a small tree not far away, but Gintoki said, "I hate it, it looks like a person. I will fidget, please take it off", thinking "Men are really troublesome" while handing the clothes to the uncle to hang up.

"I really didn't expect to meet Guren-sama here. As expected, good things will happen in life." The uncle said with emotion while pouring sake for the three of them.

"By the way, you also said before that you will open such a small shop when you return to your hometown, and you will only come out to do business when the moon is full." Hong Lian said, taking a sip of her wine.

"Yeah, it really happened a long time ago, so I said that." The boss opened the lid of the pot again and signaled the three of them to choose the oden inside.

"Ah, konjac shreds!" Gui cried out happily.

"If you like it, please take more!" The boss said politely, "Since I'm Miss Honglian's friend, I will definitely do my best to entertain you!"

"Then take another bunch of fish eggs and black wheels~"

Yinshi over there poured sweet soy sauce on the Kanto boiled wholeheartedly.

Seeing that the three men looked very happy, Hong Lian poured down the wine on her own.

The river bank that I once overlooked is now bleakly displayed in front of my eyes.

Alcohol seems to open a gap in the memory cage, and the fragments of the past are blown everywhere by the evening wind.

【5】

the words you speak the things you describe

The scenery I saw today will never be forgotten

But for no reason, the more I think about it, the more flustered I get

Even the long shadow behind me is shaking slightly

【6】

There he stopped.

She once thought that he would never stop, "Maybe it's okay to continue until dawn.", she thought.

Just don't speak, just follow him silently, from evening to nightfall, without saying where you are going.

But as long as you are with him, even the end of the world is not far away.

"Xiao Lian, we are far away from home." He turned around.

"Yeah." Turning around, the familiar scene could no longer be seen.

"Are you afraid?"

"Scared? Lost?"

"Well, be it, are you afraid of getting lost?" A smile appeared on the boy's face, but the tiredness in his eyes still couldn't be concealed.

She shook her head, "I should still remember the way back."

"If you go further, do you remember?" The boy's hand had a different kind of warmth, covering his cheeks, which seemed to have a magical power that made people unable to think.

"You can ask for directions. Is it not a foul to ask for directions?"

"Ask for directions, yes, but it would be bad if no one knows the direction. For example, there are many people living on the opposite side..." The young man looked at the bright lights on the opposite side, "Even if we managed to cross this river and reach the opposite side No one knows the direction to go back, what to do."

The evening wind blew his flaxen hair, she frowned, "Even you don't know?"

"I suppose I should know."

"Well~ Hey, hold me quickly, I want to try whether the water is cool~" The girl stretched out her hand, "The river bank is very slippery, if you fall, you will suffer."

At that time, he stretched out his hand.

One hand was firmly held before he dared to lean out and stretch out the other hand to touch the river water.

"It's really ice..." She wiped her hands on her clothes, "It's not okay to drip like this."

He took her hand that had touched the river into his palm, with a helpless but doting smile on his face.

Ask for hugs and kisses, wantonly enjoy the other person's body temperature, sweet and greasy to the moment of inseparable.

"If you can't find the way back, just keep going." This kind of answer has become dispensable.

After all, I feel that with him by my side, I won’t lose my way, won’t find my way back, and won’t have the need to cross the icy river.

In the past, I was not an incompetent person to cling to everywhere, but the other party was indeed a gentle and reliable existence.

A person who always senses every moment when he wishes to be treated with tenderness.

When you want to be hugged, kissed, comforted, protected, or pampered, you just need to call his name.

That's what I did back then, right?

【7】

The wine passed down his throat, and his lips moved twice.The vocal cords were still firmly controlled by reason, and she failed to get the key.

"Why don't you talk? Are you addicted to drinking?" Yin Shi took a sip of sake and came over to ask.

"nothing···"

"Uncle is so happy to see you, do you want to show some face?" Yinshi said puzzled.

"Forget it, forget it, after all, not everyone can be happy when they think of their ex-boyfriend." The uncle persuaded.

This uncle is Honglian's ex-boyfriend? !

"Pfft!!" Yin Shi's wine sprayed out.

"Cough cough cough..." Gui's kelp festival got stuck in his throat and his face flushed.

"Hey, uncle, don't say such misleading words!" Hong Lian complained while helping Gui to pat her back.

"I'm sorry! How could I be Miss's ex-boyfriend~" The uncle scratched his head embarrassingly.

"I'm really frightened..." Gui regained his breath, his face blushed slightly after drinking a few glasses of wine, "Speaking of which, Master Honglian's ex-boyfriend is the man with lofty ideals?" Gui couldn't Restraining his curiosity about that man, Bai Zi's mother said that that man was somewhat similar to himself, and he himself was startled when he said such words under the influence of alcohol, and quickly turned his head to look at Hong Lian's face.

"Huh? Also..." Yinshi was a little surprised, and glanced over from the corner of his eye.

"Is that kind of name popular now? It seems that it wasn't called that at that time..." The uncle observed Guren's face.

Hong Lian didn't seem to notice that the eyes of the three men were focused on her. She swallowed a big gulp of wine, and when the burning feeling in her throat subsided, she said in a nonchalant tone, "Is it considered a barbarian?", she His eyes turned to the uncle, "What we did at that time."

"But it seems inaccurate, because our enemies are heaven and man, why not ourselves?" She tilted her head and thought for a while, "Women themselves are not very interested in politics, I also said Not sure."

"Master Honglian also participated?!" Gui was a little surprised.

Guren waved her hand, "That's all in the past...".

"But that guy is really powerful..." Realizing that her eyes were blurred, she blinked vigorously.

"Miss, if you don't want to recall it, don't recall it!" The boss persuaded.

"Learn lessons from the past, as the saying goes? There is no tree that cannot be cut down ten times! No! It is impossible for a person to fall twice in a pit?" The brain seems not very bright.

"Hey, stop talking, you're already a comedian..." Yinshi moved the wine glass away from her face.

"By the way, I still have a question to ask you fellows who fight against barbarians, and those who used to fight against barbarians..." After the wine glass was removed, Hong Lian said with her chin resting in boredom.

"What does Lord Honglian want to ask?" Gui put down the cup and looked at her, but her gaze was not here, but on the other side of the river.

【8】

The last words the man left were "I'm leaving".

Not "goodbye" nor "take care".

Just left like this, leaving no reason, no way out.

She used to seriously search for the answer. In the memories of the past, every word that person said was on her body, in the gaps between nightmares.

Later, I gradually realized that this is not something that I can find the answer to myself, and this is not something that I can find the answer in this world.

But I can no longer return to this world to answer for her.

And what about people who have been to that frontier?

Can you give an answer?

The alcohol blurred his determination, and the persistence in his eyes blurred.

"Samurai, no, why do men always choose righteousness to die rather than just survive?"

Yinshi and Gui fell silent.

"The pursuit of righteousness sounds like a great thing, but knowing that in addition to righteousness and greatness, people who care about themselves still choose righteous men, what are you thinking?"

"I don't understand..." Honglian leaned on the table with her arms pillowed, and said calmly, she didn't look anxious at all, she didn't seem to be eager to get the answer, but like a curious elementary school student.

The boss turned away.

Why did the hands that were tightly held at that time still loosen in the end?

You clearly knew the way back, but you didn't have time to show me the way.

Do you know that those who fail to cross that river must be trembling when walking in the dark from now on, otherwise they will die under the knife in the shadows if they are not careful, and those who lose their direction and live in nowhere need to be even more worried, because they attract Those hunters are not only the flesh wrapped under your clothes, but also the blood of the enemy on your body.

【9】

I fell in love with this ordinary happiness. I thought that such a time could last forever

Every bit of it is a precious first memory, I don’t even notice the future

Whenever I see only you in my eyes, this smile is only for you

But in the torrent of time, you are not favored, your hand finally let go

I fell in love with this ordinary happiness, that time is still tender now

As long as I look back, those hands are by my side, I still feel this way

【10】

"Hey, I said uncle..." Gintoki said while looking at the other side of the river.

"If you want to know about Miss Honglian's past, I can't tell you for now."

"That's not what I want to ask. Does uncle know where the other side of the river is?"

"Is there? I don't know what it is now, but it used to be a lively place."

"is it?"

"Before the invasion of heaven and man, it was the place where rich people and officials lived in Edo. Every day, it is brightly lit with singing and dancing, and it is not inferior to the current Kabukicho."

"It's high society."

"In the end it wasn't destroyed by heaven and man, and I can't say that..." The uncle fell into memory, "After the tower was built, it was abandoned here. Everyone flocked to approach heaven and man, and some were unwilling to flatter We also lost the capital to continue living there, so we are the ones who destroyed a lot of things.”

"However, there are still people who haven't moved away." Yinshi looked at the scattered lights on the other side, "No matter what era, you must stick to your place and stubborn people who don't want to leave."

"Yes, I'm quite envious."

"But you still have to look forward, right? You told Uncle that good things will always happen in your life, right?" Yin Shi stood up and stretched, "Uncle, thank you for your wine and oden."

"Come back next time the full moon is free, young man."

"Uncle Moon Moon Going Out, aren't you really a werewolf?"

"It's exactly the same as that kid complained." The uncle's smile gradually disappeared, "Young man, I said that good things will happen to you when you live..."

"Ok?"

"But...it wasn't like that with the kid."

Looking at Yinshi's figure leaving on his bicycle, the uncle closed the stall and said to himself, "I feel like a young man who can be trusted."

【11】

Katsura walked around Edo at night with Guren on her back.

The warm breath of the woman on the back hit his ear lightly, her delicate cheek was pressed against his face, and Gui's face was hot from alcohol and shyness.

The woman on the back frowned in her sleep. Because she was no longer so drunk and her body temperature gradually dropped due to the evening wind, she felt the temperature rubbing against her cheeks. She subconsciously hugged him tightly.

"#￥%..." she said vaguely.

"Master Honglian, we will be there soon." Gui thought she was awake.

Back at Honglian's house, Gui put her on the bed, but she woke up as soon as he put her down.

Gui was about to say goodbye but found that the other party was looking at him in a daze.

"Master Honglian, you drank too much, take a good rest."

At this time, in the room where the lights were not turned on, only the brilliance of the full moon shone in and sprinkled on the two of them.Gui's shadow has become unreal in Honglian's eyes, what she sees and hears has become another person's voice and smile in the absence of reason.

The key is now in his hand.

She leaned closer and looked at Gui's face, as if she wanted to confirm if it was a dream. Her breath hit her face, and there was a warm feeling. Gui smelled the fragrance on her body, not like perfume, but like skin. Gui didn't dare to stare at her face because of her own sweetness, she lowered her eyes in panic and saw a jade pendant hanging on her chest exposed at some point.

This is a rectangular piece of jade, shining white under the moonlight, and it seems to be engraved with a pattern like a family crest. There was an indescribable comfort in her drunken and hot cheeks being caressed by her hand.Under the moonlight, she could see tears welling up in her eye sockets, and Gui felt that she was very close to the answer.

The coolness on his cheeks was withdrawn, and when Gui's heart was hollowed out, it was immediately filled with shock.

"I really... miss you so much." The gentle words gradually entangled him like a thread, and the will to leave was bound.

Honglian hugged him, this was not a polite hug, but a hug that only belonged to lovers, not a casual hug, its naked purpose was for the warmth and love of the other party.

It seems to be too close.

Surprised by this sudden hug, Gui just wanted to say something when he heard a name that made him unable to move for an instant.

"Huayu."

The name was spoken extremely tenderly from trembling lips, in a longing, coquettish, and sad tone.

It was like being wrapped in layers of syrup, but Gui tasted jealousy in the innermost layer.Slightly bitter.

Even if it is a secret that does not belong to you, if you have an overly hard shell, you will still be hurt if you get too close when it breaks.

In the sound of secret shattering, Li Gui found the answer he wanted, and he seemed to smell a kind of burning ice.

The red flame was extinguished the instant it was ignited, and the transparent, cold ice cubes turned into sizzling gas and dissipated in the air before they could be warmed.

I can't tell if the faint white air is the cold air that hasn't had time to dissipate or the ashes after burning.

In this way, saw, heard, smelled, tasted.

Still can't make a decision.

Until the skirt of the chest was wet with cold tears.

【12】

People have five senses.

Hearing, distinguishing lies from true words, can avoid being deceived.

Vision, find the path in the most intuitive way, close to reality.

Smell, smelling atmospheres and threats that eyes and ears can't detect.

Taste, taste various flavors, eliminate irritants and poisons.

The sense of touch is the most direct and the most misleading sense.Rough food is not necessarily difficult to swallow, blue flames can still burn fingers, thorny flowers are often particularly fragrant, and cold musical instruments can play pleasant notes.

But what people believe in and rely on the most is often the sense of touch.

【13】

Gui stretched out his arms to hug her, lowered his head and let himself blend into her warmth.

The surrounding sounds seemed to recede far away, only the heartbeats of each other gradually became louder.

He could only whisper in her ear: "It's not Huayu, it's Gui."

【14】

With my back to the setting sun and a long shadow, now I'm left walking up this ramp alone

I close my eyes and look for someone's figure, what I meet is my past self

The author has something to say:

The sentences without punctuation that seem to have nothing to do with the content of the text are lyrics~

Hatsune Miku’s Yuhizaka, I used the lyrics that seemed quite suitable for the occasion to replace the previous monologue. I am not sure if I will use it like this in the future...Of course I can’t write a monologue, so I can only...

The heroine's EX is finally here! ! !The next plot will revolve around the secrets of the past in a compact way~

Anyway, I will work hard~
