Yokohama old father writes book daily

"what!"

The thin little girl's exclamation pierced the night.

It is night, when people fall asleep, and before that, Oda Sakunosuke entered the longhouse after eating curry, and announced to the children that he had lost his memory for three years.

What he said was not euphemistic at all, and there was no preparation, but the sudden news was immediately accepted by the children.

After all, the children know him and know that he is not a person who would make such jokes, just like children know that spicy curry can be delicious, and know that the wind in Yokohama blows from the sea, that is a certain thing .

The five children who were adopted three years ago have become the envy of the remaining children.Oda Sakunosuke only remembered those five, which was a huge blow to the other kids.

The boy named Xingsuke stepped forward and introduced the remaining children to Oda Sakunosuke.

The old red-haired father noticed that two of the children appeared to be European, with black numbers on their necks, a boy and a girl.

The boy's name is Leslie, with freckles, a pair of blue eyes like the sea, and the number 71584 on his neck.The girl's name is Kony, she has light blonde soft hair, baby fat on her face, and the number 48294 on her neck.

That night, Oda Sakunosuke stayed in the longhouse, listening to the children help him recall the past, and then supervised the children to wash and go to bed one by one, and slept in his own room on the first floor.

Although he has no memory of living in the longhouse, he finds that he is very familiar with his room. The furnishings inside are the ones he is most used to, and there is even a writing desk that he has always wanted.

After confirming that the children were all asleep, he sat down at the desk and turned on the small desk lamp, only to find that Sakata Gintoki was no longer in his pocket, and the lollipops were also taken away. Children catch it as a toy.

He picked up the pen and paper, let his eyes go blank, and began to be slightly lost in thought.

Regarding the children, the feeling of being lost and found is so wonderful that he suddenly wanted to start writing.

But what to write specifically, but still can't grasp the clue.

After sitting for 10 minutes, he chose to give up and turn off the light to sleep, but in the middle of the night he suddenly heard Kony's scream.

The red-haired old father opened his eyes immediately, got out of bed and rushed to Coney's bedroom, and saw that the girl named Zhenmo had already lit a small lamp to comfort her.

"Kony had a nightmare, you'll be fine when you wake up, don't worry." Mako explained to Oda Sakunosuke.

Because there are too many children and there are not enough rooms in the longhouse, the children sleep together two by two. Zhenmo, who sleeps in the same bedroom with Koni, is older and plays the role of an older sister. She is a quiet and introverted girl. .

She stuffed a fox mask painted with two small blue flowers into Kony's hand, looked at Kony gently with her clear eyes, and comforted softly: "Mr. Oda is here to see you, be brave. This It is a disaster relief mask, you will get the blessing of the gods if you touch it."

"Thank you Mako, I..." Kony whimpered twice, holding the mask in one hand, reaching out to Oda Sakunosuke with the other, and looking at him eagerly.

The red-haired man understood in seconds, and immediately bent down and stretched out his arms to hug Connie.

Connie buried her little face in the red-haired man's arms, feeling extremely remorseful: "I'm sorry, I know that my father has lost his memory and needs us to take care of him, but I can't control my nightmares, and it turns out that I let my father take care of me again. shame."

The childish address of "Dad" made the red-haired man pause for a moment.He remembered that although he had adopted five children, the children always called him in various ways, changing according to their mood and weather, but they never called him "Dad".

For children, this may be some kind of obsession, or it may be some kind of embarrassment.Although many adults can't find it, Oda Sakunosuke knows that children are also creatures who can save face.

"What did you dream about?" he asked.

Coney shivered fiercely, and mustered up the courage to answer: "It's a ghost."

At the same time, the red-haired man noticed that Makoto also curled up his fingers.

Ghost?It is said that it is the illusion of people after death, some retain the memory of life, and some retain the obsession of life.But he doesn't really believe in ghosts, because he has never seen them.

He has always lacked imagination for things he has never seen and experienced.

Connie paused for a while, then added in a low voice: "I dreamed that I was killed by a ghost, I also dreamed of my mother, I also dreamed of Dong, and Emma, ​​Norman, Ray... I really want to They, want to write a lot of letters to them, tell them I'm fine, my dad is good to me, and I've met a lot of new family members, but I can't find them..."

As he spoke, Kony broke down in tears, and a large area of ​​clothes on Oda Sakunosuke's chest was wet.

The red-haired man patted Connie on the back: "Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you can't find it for a while, you will have a lot of time to find the person you want in the future, and the person you care about will definitely try to find you of."

"Yeah." Connie replied sullenly, and quickly fell asleep in his father's arms.

Children are always like this, crying suddenly and sleeping suddenly, they are the most action creatures.

The red-haired man smiled wordlessly, and gently put Connie back on the bed.Coney pulled the pillow and tilted his head unconsciously, revealing "48294" with his neck turned sideways.The string of numbers is thick and dark, which is very eye-catching compared with the girl's white and tender skin.

He stretched out his hand to touch the string of numbers, and there was nothing special about the touch. It seemed that the girl's skin had grown like this.

But it's obviously not a natural birthmark.He had a very bad guess.This may be the number stamped on the "item".

Besides Coney and Leslie, there must be many other children who have been numbered, and the fate that those children may face is beyond his imagination for the time being.

He lightly covered Connie with the quilt, tucked in the corners of the quilt, took off the fox mask and handed it to Zhenmo.

Mako put the mask on the side of his head and motioned for him to talk outside the bedroom.

"Mr. Oda, what Kony dreamed about was the real past. I didn't have time to tell you before going to bed. In fact, all fifteen of us came to this world after being killed by ghosts."

The red-haired man accepted this statement well, because he felt that he was one of the reborn after death: "Does it mean that after death, he traveled through the world?"

"Yes." Makoto said with certainty, "So those family members from the past that Kony wanted to find may never be found again."

"I understand." The red-haired man nodded solemnly, "I will find a way. Go to sleep, good night."

Really speechless, her subtext originally hoped that Mr. Oda would stop giving Kony false hopes, because hope without possibility would only bring heavier sadness.But Mr. Oda seems to have another understanding.

Will figure it out?Looking for a way to travel across the world?Is this something that can be done somehow?

Zhenmo really wanted to refute, wanted to point out the impracticality of this whimsical idea, but he couldn't say the corresponding words.

She slowly thought of Connie's tears just now.In addition to panic, those tears were full of strong longing for the family.

If you want to say miss, she herself misses Mr. Rinaki very much...

Early the next morning, led by the eldest child Sato, everyone got up to wash and make breakfast.

The breakfast content is very simple, it is bread and milk, and some other foods such as boiled eggs, so every child can prepare their own portion.

A few children know how to fry bacon, and Sato is watching the fire to ensure the safety of the process.

Oda Sakunosuke, who had never participated in this event, was very emotional, feeling that the children he adopted were all wonderful.In the end, he learned the children's operation and prepared a breakfast for himself, which tasted very good.

After the meal, Satoshi and the other four older children put on their schoolbags and bid farewell to Sakunosuke Oda: "Mr. Oda, we are going to school."

"Well, good." The red-haired man replied, not knowing what else to say.

Sabito is a boy with a scar around the corner of his mouth, thick and shaggy hair, and a good build.Boys of this age are usually lively and impatient, but Sato is quite calm and sophisticated, even a little calm and pretentious.

At the same time, he also has a pair of very gentle gray eyes, which neutralize his aura very well, making him an existence that other children are willing to obey and get close to.

Before going out, Sato and Mako looked at each other, then looked at Oda Sakunosuke, showing a gentle chuckle: "Mr. Oda, please don't worry, if you still can't remember us, just get to know us again. "

The other children echoed, and enthusiastically grabbed Oda Sakunosuke, chattering to continue the reminiscence activities that were not finished yesterday.

The red-haired old father was forced to visit every room, learn about the origin of every item, and hear every interesting story.For example, Sato is a master of kendo, and everyone can’t beat Sato; another example is that Mako’s hobby is wind music, and he is learning music theory from Leslie, who specializes in string instruments; another example is that Kony is a recently adopted child. A dilapidated caravan.

There are also some things that the children themselves don't remember very clearly, and they will argue with each other and chatter loudly.

Sakunosuke Oda was surrounded by the bustle and suddenly realized that the children were comforting him in their own way.

As a result, the feeling of estrangement that was a little strange and unknown for three years disappeared all of a sudden.

On the other side, Leslie was stopped by a strange man on his way to school.Leslie originally went to school with Sato and everyone else, but when he encountered someone selling flowers on the street, he couldn't help but stop and fell behind.

In the end, he chose a beautiful bunch of baby's breath, and before he could ask the price, a strange man appeared and paid the bill for him.

The man was thin, with a bandage on his head, and his tone of voice was soft and gentle: "Are you Odasaku's adopted child? He has helped me a lot, so let's take this money as my repayment, because I really don't know what else to do to thank him. Can you tell me about his situation? I saw him passed out yesterday morning, but there was some misunderstanding between me and him, and now I have no face to see him, so I have to ask is you."

Leslie was skeptical, but more convinced.

On the one hand, the special title of "Oda Saku" sounds very intimate, on the other hand, he can feel the real sadness in the man.

Beneath the sadness was a more complicated and heavy feeling that he couldn't understand for the time being.

The author has something to say: I deliberately researched the numbers of edible children. After looking through the comics for a long time, I found that Lesley is 71584, and Coney is 48294, but I don't know what these numbers mean.Funny.jpg

In addition, it is also verified that the multi-handed ghost killing killed a total of [-] disciples of Mr. Rinaki.

13+2=15, this is how the 15 children who were forgotten by the old father in this article came about.
