Thirty Mulberry

Feng can only be beaten, and the swords of the samurai can no longer save Japan.Although I still hold a knife, I understand that my knife will soon become history.I believe that the new era is the rising sun, which is passively established, and it must be strong and stable, otherwise there will be backlash.At that time, there must be someone else to overthrow him. "

"I was born in Edo and grew up in Edo. I was educated by samurai. The shogunate is the world of samurai, and the general is the emperor of the samurai. I only recognize one emperor, and I will never be a 'slave with three surnames'."

Xiaochun couldn't help showing a mocking smile.If Kenshin knew that the new era he supported with his blood and human life had finally embarked on extreme military/national/ism, how would he feel!

Xiaochun looked at Xuedaiba.Ba's face is like a puppet's face, unable to convey her emotions and intentions with expressions. She also seems to be anxious and distressed, with her brows always frowning slightly.She was wearing a moon-white color without ground, and a purple shawl was draped around her arms.Her upright and kneeling posture is like a perfume bottle, exuding a cold and faint fragrance of white plum.

Seeing Xiaochun looking at her, she bent her eyes and reached out to hand something. Xiaochun looked down and saw four strawberries lying in her palm. "You eat it. It's very sweet! My husband bought it for me." She said softly.

Such a good woman will disappear in the near future.Xiaochun's eyes were sore.Heyue Nobuhiro, the dead old thief.

"Let me draw a picture of you and Jian Xin!" Xiao Chun said.Then she said to Kenshin and Okita: "You two heroes, if you do good deeds, don't worry about your future. Director, please give me the drawing board. In addition, you mash the raspberries into a paste. The more mashed the better, the better." .”

"Don't move, I'll come right away." Okita said.

Jian Xin smiled and said, "Your Excellency's wife is very lively and lovely!"

"Yes. I like her very much." Okita smiled happily, "Your wife is also very quiet and beautiful!"

Kenshin smiled softly: "Yes! I like my wife too! I like it very much. However, I will leave the matter of making the paste to me!"

"Let's lean closer together and sit side by side. Yes, Mrs. Fei Cun's eyes are bent a little more, upwards. Mr. Fei Cun Kenshin, please don't tremble, please? Did you drink cold water just now? Put your Pull the collar inwards, revealing that so-and-so, which is indecent!" Xiaochun put the drawing board on her abdomen, while directing Kenshin and Xuedaiba to pose.

Jian Xin said aggrievedly: "Miss Xuechun, I can't hold it anymore."

"If you dare to move, you will die!"

Xiaochun leaned back on the "human cushion" of Okita, and sketched the large structure of the body "scratchy" on the paper.Raspberry mash is used for paint, to add a touch of red to clothes.

In the painting, Kenshin and Bashi stare as if frozen in place, which is funny and cute.Because they are kind, they are afraid that even the slightest tremor will destroy Xiaochun's painting.Both of them in the painting are wearing red clothes, the raspberry juice is very strong, and the layering of light and dark is very natural and three-dimensional.

Xiaochun said: "A small gift is not a respect, but I hope to accept it. This is a 'wedding painting' I gave to you two. In my hometown, people like red wedding dresses very much. Because red means celebration, Lively, exuberant."

Kenshin and Ba held the painting that looked like a mirror, surrounded by a warm warmth, and Ba finally smiled.

"Miss Xuechun, I am so touched that I cannot speak." Jian Xin said.He saw a line of Chinese characters inscribed in the blank space on the upper right of the painting, and asked modestly, "I'm not very educated. May I ask Miss Xuechun how to read the Chinese characters inscribed on the painting?"

"Hold your hand and grow old with your son."

The food tray was thrown to Kenshin and Ba. "In it are shredded pork with Beijing sauce and shredded cake. Please eat it!" Before leaving, Xiaochun lay on Okita's back and fisted Kenshin and Ba, "The green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever. .”

On the way back, Xiaochun carried the drawing board on his back, and Chongtian carried her on his back. "Are you dumb today? You didn't talk to me much at Kenshin and Ba's house." Xiaochun tugged at Okita's ear.

Chong Tian snorted coldly: "You really are not afraid of death! I was overwhelmed by your spirit of not being afraid of death, so I dare not talk to you."

Xiao Chun wrinkled her nose and smiled secretly, but pretended to be angry: "I accidentally fell off the cliff, okay! You don't care about me and blame me instead. If you had known, you would have fallen to my death."

Okita shook his figure and said, "If you dare to say the word 'death' again, I will throw you down. Do you really think that I am too stupid to see that you jumped down by yourself? The cliff is always a hundred paces away, if you accidentally fall down, no matter how much you roll, you won’t be able to get down the cliff.”

Xiao Chun pretended not to hear, and changed the subject: "Jian Xin bought strawberries for Ba to eat! I want to eat them too."

Okita ignored her.

Xiaochun sighed: "I'll tell you the truth, but don't ask why. If you have something wrong with you, and you end up here, I will be a sinner through the ages. Who made me lose my mind and bring you to Dajin!"

Chong Tian sneered and said: "It turns out that you are afraid of becoming a sinner through the ages. If you can't become a sinner through the ages, if I die under the knife of Ba Dao Zhai, you won't be sad."

Xiaochun embraced him with open arms, and said in a low voice, "Do you know what I wished in front of that statue today? I wish you a long life and a safe old age. I don't want anything, as long as you grow old Live a hundred years, and grow old in peace." She continued in her heart, even if I never see you again, I will be happy with it.

Okita was silent for a long time.Xiaochun put his cold face on his warm neck, moved his neck at Tian, ​​and rubbed Xiaochun's face, as if responding to her wish - I promise you, I will live a long life Years old, safe to old age.

"I want to eat strawberries." Xiaochun raised her head to breathe, not daring to let Okita see her face full of tears.

"Buy, buy, buy!"

"I still want to eat watermelon."

"Buy, buy, buy."

Chapter 9

Xiao Chun scrubbed the inner pool by the bath.The bath is a rectangular wooden barrel embedded in the underground heat-conducting layer.She seemed to have remembered something, and shouted loudly from the window to Okita who was separated by a wall: "I said how I was unlucky one after another, only to realize that this year is my birth year, and I am guilty of Tai Sui."

"Then how to crack it?" Okita's voice became louder.There is only one wall between them, but the two of them talk as if they are separated by a field, pressing each other's head with evil intentions.Japan generally believes that the good of the year is better than the bad, unlike China, which respects and fears committing Tai Sui.

"I have to wear red socks, which are foot bags. I also need to wear red underwear. So I bought a set of red pajamas."

"That suit is so cute!"

"That's my girlish heart, the girlish heart I only dare to show at home."

"Then do I have to prepare red clothes in my zodiac year?"

Xiao Chun pinched her fingers and calculated: "This year is the Year of the Dragon. Your birth year is still early!"

Kazuhiro Okita asked further, but his voice became quieter: "Do you want to change the loincloth to red too?"

Xiaochun covered her mouth and laughed out of breath, and leaned against the wall and whispered back to him: "Yes, the loincloth is also red."

Xiaochun rinsed the bathtub again, and then filled it with water. "Okay, you can start the fire."

Okita lifted up the charcoal that was still warm with tongs, exposing their scarlet bellies, and the flames "fluttered" and ignited again.

The rice bran bag was swept to the ground, but Xiao Chun didn't notice it.It was getting late, and the light from the sky shone in through the small bars-like windows, and fell even thinner on the ground. "Come in and take a bath, I'll go out to boil the water." She turned around and went down the steps, stepping on the rice bran bag, which was a little slippery after absorbing the moisture, and she fell into the bathtub because of inertia, her legs and forehead almost Knocking together, she thought to herself mockingly: "I didn't expect that I have a talent for acrobatics."

Hearing the sound of turbulent water in the bath, Okita ran in from outside.Xiaochun has already crawled out of the bathtub.Drenched all over, the red and green clothes cling to her body, with undulating lines like wheat waves.In fact, nothing is transparent, because the clothes are a dull color.But the wet body is a high-end temptation, and the winding path leads to seclusion, and it can even be said to be a kind of interest.

"I'm really sorry, I accidentally slipped and fell. I wasted a pool of water." Xiaochun pulled the clothes that were close to her body outward, "Wait for me, I'll change clothes and help you change the water again."

Seeing that Okita was still in a daze, she wrinkled her nose and tilted her head to make a grimace: "Little fool, you knocked your head to the ground."

When passing by Okita, he was suddenly grabbed by his wrist and dragged back, followed by a blur in front of his eyes, and when Xiaochun's back kissed the wooden wall, Okita had already kissed her.It was a deep kiss, first on the lips, then on the cheeks, and then on the neck.She suddenly understood how different Okita was from his usual childishness when he killed someone, just like now, with a cruel imperative.His hands tightly wrapped around her waist and his embrace are like a cage for a bird, if she can't fly without wings.

Xiaochun doesn't have any experience, but she knows that human instinct is a teacher in this matter. For example, Okita has not studied and passed the exam, but she understands it as she takes off her collar and slides down to undo her belt...

She couldn't push her away, and said in a deep voice as if struggling for death: "No!" Her voice was like sparks, so hot that Tian stepped back and let go of her.Xiaochun ran to the corridor outside, hugged the pillars, shrunk his shoulders and gasped for breath.My heart is in a mess.

The air instantly condensed into three feet of ice.Okita followed and stood behind Xiaochun for a long while.Neither of them spoke, they were silent.After what seemed like a long, long time, Okita walked into the room, took the knife from the knife holder, put it in the corner pocket on his waist, and walked straight out the door.

With his back to Okita, Xiaochun didn't know how to face him.She had a boyfriend in college, and they only got along for a month.
