little finger

Gintoki returned to Edo with Katsura's ashes, but instead of entering the city to return to the Master House, he boarded Tatsuma Sakamoto's spaceship outside the city.

"No way, something really happened to him with the wig? I thought it was fake when I read the news, but then I got a call from you..." Looking at the old friend with a tired face, Ahaha Jun is uncharacteristically not funny or stupid: "The rumors are not credible. Have you confirmed it yourself? It may be a trick."

"Has the doctor arrived? It must be the one from back then." Yin Shi did not answer the question directly, but raised a new question.

"Here, you are too messy, even if it is Shiraiyasha, peeling the finger bones by yourself..." Sakamoto said halfway, when he suddenly saw the glass jar in Yinshi's arms, he immediately understood everything: "Don't say anything Now, let’s deal with the wound first. A samurai’s hands are life. If they are inflexible, they won’t be able to avenge the wig. Don’t worry, no matter what you decide, I will help you, even if you want to meet an old friend with swords. I have made up my mind, This matter will be intervened to the end!"

"Chenma, you think too much, I won't kill Takasugi." Yinshi shook his head, and only said this: "It's too easy to kill him, but why let him be freed so easily. The crimes suffered by the wig , All those sufferings can be settled once he dies? I want him to live. He will never get what he wants, and he will fall into an insatiable hunger and thirst all his life. He will float and sink in the mud until he dies. torture."

Sakamoto looked at Shirayasha with a complicated expression, not knowing how to answer the words. At this juncture, any comfort and persuasion seemed powerless.All he can do is to help as much as he can, and contribute the best spirits, and then drink with his heartbroken old friend until he doesn't return home.

Gui didn't go to see Yinshi for surgery, even if it was for treatment, but to clean up the wound and open the bloody hole, his fingers were bloody and he couldn't bear to see him a second time.He floated outside and saw Sakamoto talking to his deputy Mutsu: "I feel that Yinshi is about to break. I can't watch him suffer like this. I have to find a way to solve these problems. First, I'm going to see Takasugi."

"Is Shiroyasha such a fragile person? Besides, it doesn't make any sense for you to go to Takasugi." Mutsu disapproved of his boss's risk at this time.

But Sakamoto was worried about something else: "Once the wig dies, the moderate faction can be said to fall apart, and the situation will definitely be chaotic. If they are not stabilized before then, it will inevitably cause more serious consequences. Wig has always been a general who loves his subordinates very much. I absolutely don’t want anyone to die in vain just to avenge him. And I know him, this guy is someone who wants to protect Takasugi even if he dies, so no matter if it’s the Moderate faction or the Ghost Squad, he will die with regret.”

The captain, who has never been a good-looking captain, seemed extremely calm at this time: "Mutsu, you go to contact Elizabeth and let him return to Earth as quickly as possible. Now the Moderate faction needs a new backbone and leader. The one who has followed Gui for so long Elizabeth is the most suitable candidate. But it is meaningless to unilaterally stabilize the people with lofty ideals, and Takasugi’s anger must be appeased, so I must go to see him.”

"He killed Mr. Gui, shouldn't he be happy for the victory?" Mutsu didn't quite understand where the beast's anger came from.

"Killing him is not the purpose. Takasugi has always wanted a wig, but it's not him who is alive. Now Gintoki has burned the wig to ashes. That kid is probably going to destroy the world." Supporting his painful forehead, Sakamoto He said to himself: "Yinshi must have sensed his intentions, so he stubbornly cremated the wig. However, it would be so painful for him to burn his beloved with his own hands and watch his lover's body turn into ashes."

Chenma arranged everything and went to Gaoshan's location alone, but Gui didn't follow.Now he has a strong hatred for this old classmate, killing himself can be ignored, and there is no way to forgive Yinshi for indirect harm.

He didn't want to see Takasugi, but Bai Yasha's operation was still going on, and he didn't want to break into the operating room.The party leader didn't understand why it took so much time to sew up the little finger, so he could only float in several times to check it from a distance.Yinshi was lying on a celestial operating bed connected with precision instruments, and a doctor, with the assistance of his assistant, was dealing with the left little finger missing a phalanx.

With scarlet eyes open, he lay expressionless, still holding the glass jar firmly in his right hand.Tatsuma Sakamoto was right, Shiroyasha was really about to break.Gui couldn't bear to watch it, and floated out again, suddenly very afraid of seeing Yin Shi, the melancholy between his brows and the pain on his face, every time he saw it, it was like a knife cut on the tip of his heart.

As if escaping, the leader of the party went to Beidou Xinxuan again: "Senior Ying, why did I fail to ascend to heaven after being cremated? Is it because the temperature was not enough and I was not burned to ashes, or was I not buried in the soil? That guy Yinshi, I just found it." I put it in a candy jar, it's really too much!"

"Cremation is just a ceremony, and it does not require complete incineration. Of course, it does not necessarily need to be buried in the cemetery and then erected a monument. As long as someone sincerely collects you, you can ascend to heaven." Ying was also a little puzzled, because after the burial ceremony, she could not ascend to heaven. Most of their souls will turn into demons.But Gui is clear-headed and calm, and there is nothing wrong with it except for some sadness: "Have you ever donated your organs? If your organs are still in someone else's body, then you can't go to heaven."

But Gui shook his head and thought for a long time before saying, "Does hair count? I have a bunch of hair in Yinshi."

"Hair and nails are not considered flesh and blood." Sakura said so, and the party leader asked again: "What about the parts that were eaten by mice, or the parts that were gnawed and not eaten, should we wait for the minced meat to rot completely?" Will it ascend to heaven?"

"Based on my observation, the behavior of animals gnawing can be immediately classified as returning to nature. Whether it is eaten and digested, or the part that falls, it will not prevent the liberation of the soul." Sakura also feels very uncomfortable in this situation. Strange, she pondered for a long time: "Is it true that no part of your body was left outside, such as a rib was removed in an accident?"

Suddenly, I remembered the recently popular rib removal surgery that I had seen on the news before.Although Gui will definitely not destroy his body because of plastic surgery, what if it is for repair after injury.

He had been in war, had narrow escapes countless times, and must have been very badly wounded.

"What you said..." As if remembering something, Gui looked at his left hand: "I'm missing a little finger."

His thoughts went back to the war years, when the grain and grass were escorted from Xiaolu and Takasugi reconciled, while Gintoki and Sakamoto were responsible for containing the large troops.It was originally a non-difficult task, but on the way, somehow the wind leaked out, and an elite force raided their food and grass team.The enemy army is all heavenly beings, and there are many fighting races mixed in. They quickly slaughtered the few logistics troops and successfully captured the frantic nobleman.

After Gui was captured, he was tortured cruelly.

Probably in order not to spoil his good-looking face, the lustful interrogator used all kinds of heinous but not too skin-damaging methods.He peeled off Gui's finger alive, took out a phalanx, and poured strong wine on it, admiring his distorted face due to the severe pain.This guy's original intention was to torture the legendary general who fought against barbarians for a long time, destroy his mind and spirit, break his self-esteem and spine, and slowly taste his despair.

But I didn't expect Yinshi to come too fast, beheaded all the enemies, and rescued the seriously injured Gui.

It's just that the phalanx was not found in the end. Sakamoto contacted a highly skilled celestial doctor and replaced the original bone with an artificial phalanx. After the repair, it turned out to be the same as before.His hands were flexible as usual, and the scars were almost negligible, so Gui didn't care about the missing part.

It's just that now, this little thing has become a big problem hindering his ascension to heaven.

He wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to find where the phalanx was left. Anyway, at the moment of death, he would definitely be dragged there.What Gui is anxious about now is that he can't let go of Bai Yasha, and he can't let go of this bruised man, but the remaining finger bones have passed ten years, and he doesn't know when they will be completely damaged.By then, his traces will be completely wiped out, and even if he is worried about him, he has no right to say no.

I don't know how long the bones can be preserved, and I don't know when I will disappear, so the fear of the unknown will become greater and greater.

And he was really reluctant to leave Yinshi...

No more clues could be obtained from Ying, so Gui had no choice but to go back to Yinshi.

He was lying on the bed with his fingers splinted and resting.Gui Piao moved aside, gently stroking the face that had been tortured to the point of emaciation in just a few days.When he was a boy, he would get up quietly in the middle of the night, and peeped at Bai Yasha's sleeping face countless times, but there was never a time when he was as heartbroken as he is now.

"Yinshi, you are so stupid, why did you hurt yourself. Seeing you like this, I am in a million times more pain than you." Looking at the bandage-wrapped fingers, Gui felt a heart-wrenching pain .

His tears finally couldn't bear it anymore, and they fell on Shiraiyasha's face one by one.Suddenly, the person who should not feel any inspiration suddenly opened his eyes. He raised his head, looked at Gui's position, and asked in an unbelievable voice: "Wig, is that you? Are you back? Are you here?" Is it nearby?"

"I'm here, I've always been here!" Gui thought he could sense his own existence, and his voice was full of joy.

But Yinshi still couldn't see him, the two looked at each other several times, and finally crossed each other again.Bai Yasha touched his face in melancholy, there was obviously nothing, why did it always feel like bitter tears fell on it?

"Wig, are you here? Answer me!" Yinshi looked around again, tore off all the equipment connected to his body, and walked back and forth: "Yin Sang is very afraid of ghosts." , But, if it's you, it doesn't matter if you're afraid, can you come out and let me take a look. Wig, I have a lot to say to you... I really miss you... Wig, let me take a look at you again Okay... I... can't live without you... Please, even if I become a ghost, I have to go back to Yinsang... Please..."

Gintoki's voice was gradually replaced by uncontrollable cries, such a strong man, Shiroyasha who was used to losing and carrying everything, was crying like a child at this moment.

Gui shed tears no less than the other party. He seemed to have shed all the tears in his life, and even when his relatives and friends left him one by one, he was not so painful.The great sadness almost strangled him, the pain in his chest was about to burst, and he longed for relief more than ever.Because watching helplessly, what a torture!

He came to Yinshi's side and hugged him from behind: "You have liked dogs since you were young, but you didn't dare to raise them. You said it was too troublesome to raise a dog. In fact, I know you are afraid that the dog's lifespan is too short and you will leave before you." Sometimes I will be sad. At that time, I promised you that I would stay with you for the rest of my life, never betray you, and never die before you... But, I am really sorry, I couldn't do it..."

"I'm sorry, blame me, hate me, and forget me. You still have Master House, and those two children who love you, and the group of friends in Kabukicho, and many trusted confidants. I just The shadow of your past that you can't bear to look back on, you should let go." If there is no self, Yinshi will not be so distraught, and Gui's hatred for himself is increasing day by day.

He suddenly wanted to let go of everything, wanted to disappear from this world, and even had the idea that it would be great if he had never met.

"Wig, Yinsang me, even if I go to Santuchuan, I will never forget you, and I will live forever with thoughts of you." Yinshi lowered his head and kissed his little finger reverently, like treating the most beautiful person in the world. Like a precious treasure, the eyes are as gentle as water: "I am by your side, and you are by my side, we will always be together, always..."
