[Gintama] Mr. Songyang that day

The high fever in the silver hour was fierce.

Probably because of long-term malnutrition, coupled with the fact that autumn is approaching, the temperature at night is low, and it rains again. In short, his condition is so serious that Songyang is helpless.

Yinshi lay on her back, hot as a piece of red-hot iron, half awake, murmuring broken sentences indistinctly in her ear.

"Hulala...doo lala...Ayin takes off...stars...the stars are red..."

Songyang couldn't understand either.

She thought, this child is a little confused, and the pace continues to accelerate, hoping to find a village with a clinic as soon as possible.

Songyang didn't remember this extremely embarrassing fact until he delivered Yinshi to the clinic in Shanxia Town - his pockets were already empty and he couldn't touch half a dime, and naturally he couldn't get the money to pay the bills.

The clinic owner and the only clinic doctor who checks out at the front desk is a bald middle-aged uncle. Seeing Songyang staring at the bill and worrying, he patted the table impatiently.

"No money?"

"I came out in a hurry, maybe I forgot to bring the money, please see the child first, I will go to get the money."

Song Yang seemed to be calmly coping, but no one could see that she was jumping in a hurry at the moment, and her mind was so empty that she couldn't think of any countermeasures.

When I was a child, I didn’t eat or sleep, and I didn’t get sick. I didn’t need money. Later, I got a fixed salary and a year-end bonus in Naraku. I didn’t spend much money myself, and I never had the concept of being short of money, let alone put effort into making money.

For a while, Songyang couldn't think of a way to get money reasonably.

"Huh? You left and left this brat here. What if he dies here? This brat has a lot of old wounds on his body. Although it's almost healed, I can't control what kind of troubles will happen if it burns too much. "

"Old injury?"

Songyang was slightly taken aback.

No surprise at all, she thought.

That child must have worked very hard to protect herself from human malice in order to survive until she met her.

Therefore, she couldn't let the child get hurt again.

"You don't know he's injured?"

The uncle looked Songyang up and down with strange eyes, his eyes stayed on her face for a moment, and he narrowed his eyes.

"I said you, shouldn't it be that one?"

"Eh?"

"That's it." The uncle rubbed his chin and let out a wretched laugh.

He had seen some poor wandering girls who abducted street vagrants to sell in order to make money, and he took it for granted that the beautiful woman in front of him was one of them, and secretly felt a little pity.

"If you really don't have any money, what will you do with uncle? I promise to treat you very well. Don't do this kind of business, and throw away that sick kid."

"what?"

Songyang blinked, but still didn't understand the meaning of the other party's words.

"Don't be stupid, I mean—"

"The money is here."

With a flushed face, Yinshi came out of the back room and slapped a crumpled 1 yuan bill on the back of the uncle's hand.

"Stupid, did you forget you put the money on me?"

Songyang froze for a moment, glanced at Yin Shi winking at her, and didn't make a sound.

The uncle howled like a pig, and seemed to want to punch Yinshi on the head with his fist. "You brat! Didn't you see that my hand is still here!"

"The money is enough."

Even though the white-haired brat burned to the point of fainting, it could be seen that he used the knife to force his body to stand up straight, but he was in a state of exhaustion, but his expression was terribly cold, and the breath on his body was not very strong. Like a human, more like a beast intending to hunt its prey.

The uncle withdrew his hand reflexively, obviously startled by Yin Shi's appearance.He couldn't help taking a few steps back, reluctantly grabbed the banknotes, and complained in a low voice, and walked into the back room.

"Really, if you have money, take it out earlier. Uncle, I thought you were some kind of strange combination. Uncle, I am too old to be scared. You are really not cute at all, uncle. I am just Just kidding—"

"Ayin heard that the bald uncle who joked around will die a terrible death."

"Hey! Don't tell me you are bald!"

The back room of the clinic is very small, with a few stools scattered here and there, and a few peasants who were hanging hanging bottles were sitting. When Songyang came in, their eyes were glued to each other, with a somewhat indescribable meaning.

The needle on the back of Yinshi's hand was crooked, enough to show how unreliable the doctor who gave the injection was, but it also somewhat restored his spirit.He beckoned Songyang to sit down, put the other hand holding the knife in front of Songyang, his cold gaze slowly passed over the group of peasants, and said as if he had no intention of doing so.

"By the way, Ah Yin remembers the guy who couldn't control his eyes last time, what happened in the end? Ah——I remembered, Ah Yin used this knife to slam his x-eye, and then twitched When it came out, the blood was higher than that of Ah Yin. So, for things like eyes, his owner should know where to look and where not to look, right? "

Although his thin and small body is not convincing, the hostility brought by this body from the battlefield is really scary.

Songyang felt a little funny.

The white-haired child is small, but very reliable, and his maturity makes people feel distressed and comforted.

He is without a doubt a good boy.

Although this child is still separated from the human world, if it is this child, it will definitely not be like her, and it will definitely be able to—

Growing up happily and peacefully as a human being.

So even for this child, she has to try to integrate into human beings again, no matter what the future holds, at least for now, she is no longer a lonely monster alone.

——After paying the bill, the remaining money is probably enough to eat two bowls of ramen. Yinshi, who was recovering from a serious illness, was obviously in a happy mood and almost flew into the sky, holding the bowl of ramen so happily that he almost buried his face in the noodle soup.

"Ramen! Is this the meaning of Ah Yin's life! Boss! More ramen!"

"Refill! The guy across from you has already refilled ten bowls of noodles because of his pretty face. Hurry up and leave after eating!"

"what?"

Yinshi's eyes widened, and he turned his head in disbelief, seeing that Songyang was sucking the last piece of ramen gracefully into his mouth, and looked her up and down suspiciously.

"Is your stomach connected to the universe? In other words, you must have eaten too fast! Ah Yin just refilled the second bowl! What kind of wonderful creature are you!"

"Ahem, it's an ordinary teacher."

Songyang drank the noodle soup, Xiaoxiao burped, and looked regretfully at the bowl in front of Yinshi.Yin Shi immediately protected the bowl and said vigilantly.

"Why, you strange big stomach teacher, stay away from Ah Yin's bowl!"

"After all, after this meal, I don't know when the next meal will be..."

"...What kind of thief ship did Ah Yin get on..."

This town at the foot of the mountain is not big, but it is very lively. There are all kinds of shops on both sides of the street. The people who come and go in the market are ordinary people. Occasionally, there will be one or two weird-shaped celestial beings, which will not cause trouble to passers-by. attention.

Songyang has no special views on celestial beings. After all, she is not a normal creature in the eyes of humans. If she was born 1000 years later, she might be regarded as a strange celestial being from another planet.

It's just that she and Yinshi both care about the same thing most at the moment.

Two people, one big and one small, squatted in the corner of the back alley of the ramen restaurant, looking at each other and sighing at the same time.

"What to do...money..."

Yin Shi held the knife tightly and said solemnly. "Let's make a deal first. This knife is given to Ah Yin. You mustn't think about selling it. If you want to sell it, sell Ah Yin and the knife together. The money from the sale will be divided into half of Ah Yin. Ah Yin does not include after-sales service. There is a [-]% chance that people and money will be empty—"

"Not for sale."

Songyang shook his head, stared seriously at Yinshi's eyes and promised. "No matter when, I will never voluntarily abandon Yinshi."

"..."

"..."

Gintoki looked away awkwardly, curled his lips and replied weakly. "I know, I know, let's change the method, Ah Yin is really the one who makes money, I see that the wallets of people on this street seem to be so bulging that they need to come out for air—"

"Don't do this kind of thing again."

Songyang sighed, raised his hand to touch his white natural curls.

"Stealing things is never a long-term solution."

"What is stealing? That's called stealing from the rich and giving to the poor..." Yin Shi's voice became weaker and weaker.He quietly took a look at Songyang's curved eyebrows and curled his lips.Although he knew that the other party didn't mean to blame him, he just felt aggrieved and a little unconvinced in his heart.

"Speaking so disgustingly, just took him a banknote and kicked the toilet pipe burst, Ah Yin is polite enough, after all, who is Ah Yin doing for, good intentions will not be rewarded..."

"...kick the water pipe?"

"Is that the point!! In short, Ah Yin is angry! Angry!"

"I don't mean to blame Yinshi..."

"What's that like?"

Yinshi scratched the dust at his feet with the handle of the knife unhappily, and squatted against the wall with his shoulders shrunk, but refused to look up at her and speak.

"If I don't steal, what will you do? You can't make money and support yourself, and you don't want to sell Ah Yin..."

"You're an idiot... You must be an idiot. You're running around looking weak and weak, picking up children at random. What would you do without Ah Yin..."

Song Yang looked at the white-haired little ball curled up in front of her, muttering, grievances to the point that his natural curly hair drooped, he bent his eyes, couldn't help but reach out and pull him into his arms, ignoring his resistance , gently stroking his back that was so thin that his bones protruded.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, Yinshi is a mature adult, please forgive me."

Silver is such a soft child.

He cares.

He cared about things that, in his opinion, would embarrass her.He wanted to block all these dark colors from the human world, and wanted to protect her, even though he was just a child, even though he knew nothing about her, even though she had brought him nothing.

"Yinshi, you are a formidable little warrior."

"That's needless to say. Ah Yin, I, even an adult can defeat it effortlessly!"

Song Yang was startled, and hearing his natural tone, couldn't help asking him.

"How can you fight with adults?"

"Is it strange?"

Gintoki glanced at her, not understanding why she was surprised, shrugged and said.

"Anyway, there will always be a few adults who don't have a good brain and come to fight with Ah Yin for no reason. Ah Yin really can't escape, so he can only fight them away with all his strength. Adults are weird, and you are also weird adults. .”

"That's it."

The person in front of him gently stroked his hair, smiling with an emotion he couldn't understand.

"Silver time is really amazing."

He was obviously praising him, but the expression in his eyes was not the kind that would make people feel happy, it seemed a little heavy, anyway, Yinshi couldn't figure it out.

"However, nothing like this will happen in the future."

I will protect you.

For a moment, a hazy look appeared in front of Songyang's eyes, but soon, Yinshi's confused and troubled face once again occupied her sight.

At least this time, I want to try again.

"I'll protect you. I won't make you...have to pick up a knife to protect yourself again, I promise."

So please—as a human being, live happily.
