A piece of silvery white light was reflected in Qianliu's wide-eyed eyes. She stretched out her hand in disbelief, wanting to touch that phantom...but when she scooped it up with one hand, she didn't touch anything. , just caught an empty hole.

Looking at her empty palm, she suddenly felt that her heart had also collapsed, with a big hole leaking, and the cool breeze was blowing in.

Qian Liu withdrew his hand in a daze. After a long time, he slowly pressed the center of his eyebrows, with a look of pain on his face... She seemed to be dying of illness, and the longing for the door even caused inexplicable phantoms to appear in front of her eyes.

Once you pay attention to something, it's much harder to ignore it.Although the boundary of the white phantom in front of her eyes was blurred and faintly visible, it still stubbornly appeared in front of her eyes, lingering, and she couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to ignore it.Qian Liu glanced at it, and then forced herself to look away—she had to find a way to make herself accept the fact that Tobima could not come back, otherwise, if she was always haunted by the phantom of the past, she would never be able to leave Out of this "shadow".

...But apparently, using this method was not as smooth as she imagined.

Qian Liu thought that the white phantom would slowly disappear under his deliberate neglect, but he did not expect that, for several days in a row, the shadow not only did not disappear, but also tended to gradually solidify. Can see the virtual "human form".

At the same time, the time for the phantom to appear became longer and longer than before, extending from night to day at the beginning, and finally even when Qian Liu usually went out to buy vegetables, the shadow would follow him lingeringly.

Qianliu's original small steps gradually turned into big strides, and he rushed to his sister-in-law Mito's house with hair on his back. The one who opened the door for her was Komori... No, it should be called "Omori" now. In just a few years In that time, the original little Douding has grown into a handsome boy, with his father's determination mixed with his mother's sassy eyes.

"Second aunt?" Mori called out in doubt.Ever since the young man grew tall and sensible, he also understood the difference in identity between himself and Qianliu, so his address gradually changed from "Sister Qianliu" to "Second Aunt".Sometimes Qianliu still misses the previous title, but now it is too late to care about these.

"That... Senshu, can you see that thing behind me?" Qianliu said nervously, and couldn't help but glance at the phantom behind him with his peripheral vision.

Mori looked behind her suspiciously, but of course he saw nothing.So he shook his head truthfully, and then he frowned, with a worried look on his face. "Second Aunt, are you a little tired lately? If you can't do it, you can rest at home for two days. I'll help you ask for leave from the medical department." He understood that the news of the second uncle's death may be the most sad news. , Two days ago, she looked so distraught that anyone who saw her couldn't help worrying for a while.

Seeing this, Qianliu knew that Mori couldn't see the ghost behind her, and couldn't help but feel depressed for a while.In Mori's eyes, this appearance was more like Qianliu's excessive sadness, and he was even more worried at once. In order to prevent her from being alone and in danger, Mori hurriedly welcomed her into the house.

It was also rare for Mito not to go out, and seemed to be doing needlework.Qianliu also asked Mito and got the same answer as Mori.Seeing this, Mito Moriki, mother and son looked at each other, and read worry and helplessness from each other's eyes.Qianliu in this state seemed to them to be terrible, but she still couldn't survive the truth of her death... Mito tentatively asked, "Why don't you just stay at my house today? Just come to stay with me, we haven't talked for a long time." She was afraid that Qian Liu would be overwhelmed when she was alone.

Qian Liu seemed absent-minded, and couldn't help but glance at the phantom behind him, as if he was still confirming something.This appearance made the mother and son even more convinced that she was in an abnormal state, and they were even more worried about letting her be alone, so they insisted on staying for Qianliu.Mori ran to prepare the room for her to stay in, and Mito took Qianliu's hand and was responsible for the heart-to-heart work.

Faced with the warm hospitality of Mito mother and son, Qianliu felt that he could not refuse, so he temporarily stayed in the patriarch's mansion.In this family, only Mori needs to go out to do tasks on weekdays to make ends meet.Mito completely retreated behind the scenes, reading and drinking tea on weekdays, and his life was more comfortable and leisurely.

Recently, Qianliu also took a long vacation at the medical department. The two sisters-in-law are at home and occasionally do needlework together. Mito often chats with Qianliu, trying to test whether she wants to "fix everything" After knowing this, Qianliu just felt dumbfounded. After Chong Mito repeatedly assured that he would never end himself by suicide, Mito still seemed not at ease.

It is undeniable that having someone by his side did make Qian Liu feel a little less lonely, and his stiff heart softened a little.But even so, the white shadow around her still did not dissipate, and sometimes she even turned her head to find that the shadow was not there, and when she turned a corner, she could still see "he" waiting for her in front.

——It's not like the spirit behind it, but more like the consciousness of having this self.

I don't know if it's because of someone accompanying him, but Qianliu gradually got used to having such a white shadow in his field of vision, sometimes when he couldn't see "him", he would subconsciously look for it.

Qian Liu quietly called "him" "Mr. Guardian Spirit", but she only called him in her heart, and she didn't tell anyone this little secret.

Mito once recommended a storybook to Qian Liuguo, which said "Everyone is lonely, no one can accompany you for a lifetime".So Qianliu sometimes extravagantly thinks, in this case, will he have a "Mr. Guardian Spirit" who will always accompany him?

Holding this somewhat naive and unrealistically optimistic thought, she felt that she seemed to be getting better, at least the number of times she smiled every day gradually increased.

Just when she was entertaining herself every day and trying to stay optimistic, an elder from the Thousand Hands clan suddenly came to her.

On the day the elder came to visit, Qianliu was teaching Mito how to make sweet dumplings. Just as they were pouring the boiled syrup on the dumplings, the elder knocked on the door.

Seeing that it was actually an elder in the family, Mito was obviously stunned for a moment, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, but he still received the elder politely.Mito thought that the elder came to find her this time, but he didn't expect that the elder went straight to Qianliu, as if he knew she was here a long time ago.

After boiling water to make tea, the elder took a sip of the hot tea in a vain manner, and then directly explained his purpose for coming.

"I hope you can return to the medical department and join the clan's advisory group later." The elder spoke bluntly about his reason for coming, without paying attention to whether his words caused trouble to others.

Qian Liu was naturally quite surprised by the arrangements made by the elders of the Qianshou Clan.Because logically speaking, although I changed my surname to "Qian Shou", but her husband has passed away, and the two have left no children, to those clan elders, they should be outright "outsiders".But now, not only did they not alienate Qianliu, they also enthusiastically wanted to recruit her into the "advisory group"... It would be impossible not to make her feel strange.

Mito could think of what Qianliu could think of, and Mito was more calm, she said slowly: "You can tell us directly what the elders mean, although we don't have the blood of the Qianshou clan in our bodies. , but after all our surname is 'Qian Shou'." It means that there is no need for my family to plot against my family, and I can speak directly if I have anything to say.

The elder coughed twice unnaturally, and after a while, spit out the next part of the sentence: "Actually, I came to inform this time, just by chance. I didn't expect the second lady to be here." After a pause, he raised his hand.In the blink of an eye, a black shadow seemed to flash past. It seemed that the old man did not come alone, but also brought some people with him.After he paused, he lowered his voice mysteriously and said, "Actually, what I really want to say this time is about the Patriarch."

"Hashirama?" Hearing this, Mito couldn't help raising his voice, showing a hint of vigilance on his expression.Except for a few people close to her, she didn't tell anyone about the news that Hashirama went out to heal her injuries.The consistent caliber of publicity is "going out to practice" or "performing a secret mission", and the real truth has long been wrapped up layer by layer, so that no one will know.

The clan elder showed a slightly complicated expression, and said: "We have tried to find traces of the clan leader and the others before. After all, Zhujian will be back for a long time, and we also want to..." The clan elder glanced at Qianliu intentionally or unintentionally. After that, he continued, "...Tell him the news of the second head's death. I didn't expect that this search found a problem."

"What's the problem?!" Mito's temper was very hot. Hearing the news from Hashirama and seeing the elder's hesitation, he suddenly felt unable to sit still, and couldn't help raising his voice.

"The patriarch and the others... lost contact." The elder said the news with a serious face.

Logically speaking, if Zhujian heard the news of Senshou Feima's death, he would definitely come back in a hurry, or at least attend his brother's funeral.At the beginning, Qianliu only thought that the two of them had entered a corner of some country. The news was too late and they hadn't rushed back yet, but he never thought about the aspect of "lost contact".

Mito didn't believe it, she waited for Mori to come back, and asked him around, and sure enough, she also got related "rumors" from the clan.

This time, the object of comfort changed from Qianliu to Mito in an instant, and Qianliu comforted her, "Brother Hashirama is the legendary god of ninjas, and there is also 'Brother Madara', the two of them will never be together." problematic!"

Qianliu really thought so, she couldn't imagine any enemy that would cause the two of them to work together.Mito also nodded, but she was still worried. She told Qianliu that she wanted to go out of the village to find Hashirama. Since her husband became sick and became weaker, she became more and more distant from Hashirama. feeling far away.

Hashirama didn't let Mito go out of the village with him before, because he was afraid that the journey would be long this time, and Mito would be in danger if he accompanied him.Now Mito is not like that

Thinking... If they really have a day to die, why not take this opportunity to spend more time together.

It's a pity that she comprehended it too late, and it wasn't until Feijian passed away that Qianliu felt as sad as losing her soul that she slowly understood the emotions in her heart.

The author has something to say: Only when you lose it will you know how to cherish it, the same is true for Feijian and Qianliu.
