Complete Survival Manual

The rainwater slid down the eaves in front of the porch and hit the waterlogged land with a crisp patter.

The clouds in the sky are very heavy, and the lead-black clouds are so dark that there is no end in sight.The rain falls in haste, and they weave threads and become webs.

Mitsui Naoki's home is a typical ancient house, with a wide courtyard and winding corridors. People in kimonos walk in it almost silently, and use extremely precise work and rest to maintain the daily life of this huge machine in Mitsui's house. operation.

Mitsui Naoki seldom calmed down like this. Most of the time, he was the same as other people in this house, busy and rarely had time to pay attention to the scenery outside the door.

Today was an exception. After Mitsui Naoki's original plan was canceled, he suddenly found that this time was free.

Mitsui Naoki sat cross-legged in the room, watching the rain through the wide open paper door.

He remembered someone.

A man named Shuji Tsushima came to Mitsui's house in a heavy rain nine years ago.

………………

"I heard that Master Junpei is coming back."

"Oh, it seems that some accident happened."

"If Master Junpei hadn't started his career back then, he would..."

"The master's family can be regarded as a strange person."

"If it were me, I wouldn't give up the path arranged by the master."

"A Jiang, you are talking in your sleep again."

"What's so bad about living a life that so many people envy?"

Two little maids hid in the corner and whispered their ears. They were still fourteen or fifteen years old. Even in this old and strict house, they still retained some rare innocence and liveliness.

They were unlucky today, someone overheard their private conversation.

"A Jiang, Ah Cheng! Be careful! Don't talk about the master's young master!"

"But...but that is indeed a weird person..."

The little maid's words disappeared between her raised sleeves, and she remembered who was in front of her.

That is the teacher who taught them skills.

And among the many complicated skills, including family rules and etiquette.

They were terrified, and the woman's red lips curved into an arc that represented a smile. She said softly: "You newcomers will inevitably feel uncomfortable when you first arrive, so I will only let you go alone this time. Go back and discuss it carefully." , I will return one of you tomorrow.”

"Now, get out of here."

The two little maids choked a few times, then stumbled away.

The woman shook her head and left quickly.

Mitsui Naoki went around the blind corner where he was hiding, and straightened his wrinkled clothes.

He was not surprised to hear such words. From a long time ago, people around him had been whispering that his little uncle was a weirdo.

But Zhihui likes his little uncle Mitsui Junpei very much, because Mitsui Junpei is the only one in the whole family who will bring him candy back after going out.

Zhihui doesn't care how many people hate his little uncle, as long as he likes it.

Thinking of this, he quickly walked towards the door.

He wanted to be the first to welcome his little uncle back.

It was raining outside, and Naoki's white socks were wetted by the damp water vapor. He only frowned and continued on his way.

Just hurry up, he thought.

The family that Mitsui Naoki belongs to is a big family.In ancient Kyoto, they have been passed down from generation to generation, almost completely retaining the public style of the old era.

Naoki Mitsui was taught from childhood to be prudent, to abide by etiquette, and not to lose his bearing.

Because of his habit since he was a child, he didn't feel that there was any restraint added to him.He just thinks it's more interesting to be around the little uncle.

He looked at the door expectantly, and after a while, he saw a vague figure.

Naoki opened his eyes wide.

Mitsui Junpei did not open an umbrella, he walked into the courtyard under the rain.

Mitsui Junpei is tall and tall, with a face with sharp edges and corners, and there is a rare righteousness in the Mitsui family.At this time, he was wearing a police uniform, and he was out of tune with the primitive environment.

In general, Junpei's changes are not too big, what surprised Naoki Mitsui was something else.

He saw a child beside Mitsui Junpei.

[Is it a child from a separated family, or something else.Could it be my uncle's biological son?It's possible depending on the age, then we are cousins. ]

He was very interested in guessing the identity of the child, until at a certain moment, he and the child met their eyes.

Naoki's blood went cold.

How to describe it, it felt like, in the coldest winter, the maids who took care of him obeyed his father's order and wiped his body with cold water.

Although he knew in his heart that this was training for cold tolerance, Naoki would shrink back sometimes.

Later, Zhihui gradually got used to the cold water, but he never forgot the feeling at that time.

Icy to the bone.

The petite boy was drenched in heavy rain, his brown hair stuck to his cheeks, and his whole body was thin and pale, as if he hadn't seen the sun for a long time.

He was wearing a somewhat baggy hoodie, and he only glanced at Mitsui Naoki before lowering his head again.

Mitsui Naoki froze in place, and he didn't recover until his little uncle walked in front of him.

"Zhihui?"

Naoki Mitsui swallowed silently, relieving his tense body.With a dry throat, he said, "...Welcome back, little uncle."

"Sorry, Naoki." Junpei Mitsui stroked his hair, brushing back the broken hair on his forehead.In order not to wet the floor, he didn't get too close, "I'll go to your father first, can I ask you to take care of this child first?"

Junpei Mitsui took the boy's hand and let go, and he pushed the child forward.The child took two steps by himself and pointed to the wooden floor of the veranda.

"It's going to be wet."

"It's okay, someone will wipe it."

The boy stopped talking.

Junpei picked him up and put him on the porch.

An attendant came with an umbrella to find Junpei, but he only had time to wave his hand before leaving with the attendant who led the way.

Naoki noticed the boy was shaking.

Even though it is summer, it will be very cold standing outside with your whole body soaked.Especially this kid doesn't seem to be in good health.

Zhihui said: "This will catch a cold, I'll find someone to bring you something."

He turned back to look for someone, and happened to see a little maid in a hurry walking past in the distance, and he still remembered her name.

"A Jiang!" He shouted loudly.

The little maid who heard the call changed her course and ran towards them.

"Little Master."

"Go get the towels."

She has just learned a lot of lessons, and now she dare not even glance at her.She bowed her head and answered "yes" softly, then ran away quickly.

The child watched this scene silently, as if the silence didn't exist.Naoki put the momentary cold feeling behind him, and developed a good impression of the child who looked much younger than him.He took off the coat he was wearing and put it on for the child.

"Although it's still wet inside, a piece of clothing should be better." Looking at the child's wet hair, Naoki simply wiped his hair with his sleeve, "Ah Jiang is so slow...I'm Mitsui Naoki , you can call me...uh."

He got stuck for a moment, remembering that he didn't ask his little uncle what the identity of this child was.

The child didn't embarrass him for too long, and said, "I'm Tsushima, nice to meet you, Zhihui."

The tone of stick reading made Zhihui stunned for a moment, he lowered his head, only saw a furry head under his sleeve.

Only in Tsushima's words, is it a first name or a last name?

Mitsui Tsushima?

"...It's Shuji Tsushima." The child didn't wait for Naoki to ask again, and answered his question as if reading his mind.

Ajiang, who went back and forth, handed the bath towel to Zhihui, and after Zhihui wrapped another layer of bath towel in Tsushima's coat, Ajiang handed him a new coat.

"It was originally prepared for this young master." She explained in a low voice.

Zhihui looked at Ajiang with new eyes, and Ajiang bowed and stepped back.

Naoki Mitsui took Tsushima's hand and walked forward.

"Anyway, I'll take you to take a shower first."

"..."

"How old are you this year?"

"..."

"Tsushima?"

"..."

"Are you really not talking..."

They are gone.

………………

"What a day like a dream..."

Mitsui Naoki shook his head, picked up the phone from his side, and sent out an email that had been edited a long time ago.

[Father is looking for you, Tsushima. ]

The author has something to say: These two days are too busy, from morning till night.

Yesterday's update went away, I'll see when I can make it up...

………………

A new event is coming, and it is still very simple and no need to guess.
