My Story with Curly Yaksha 22

With the help of Miyamoto Aoi, Zhiyi came to Edo by boat. Because he was too flustered, he looked dusty and messy, and his whole person was like a crazy woman with abnormal spirit, not at all noble and weak in the past The look of a beauty.

The current Edo is also very chaotic, the political situation is turbulent, the high-level shogunate is busy fighting for power, and the people at the bottom will not go anywhere well. Every day there are various terrorist attacks in the towns and cities. The oppressed civilians complained constantly to the government, it was almost like a bird.

There are many migrants in Edo Castle now. Because they have no job and lost their status, they often live and sleep outside. The police station can't control so many people, so weaving clothes are not taken seriously among them.

Weaving has poor physique and weak combat effectiveness, but she is a genius in lurking. She can be said to be self-taught in stalking and infiltrating. She is a pampered noble lady who has strong environmental tolerance, and her flexible mind complements her strength. Insufficient places can always find ways to lurk in different places so that they are unobtrusive and unnoticed.

She pretended to be a wandering refugee, lurking in an uninhabited alley for two days, and finally waited until the head of the Ikeda family went out alone.

Opposite the alley where she was lurking was a very majestic looking house, which was the house of Ikeda's family, the executioner of the imperial court.After waiting for two days, she finally saw a middle-aged man wearing a high-end kimono walking out of the house, followed by a little girl with light brown short hair and a boy with black hair, as if he was a father traveling with his children ordinary.

But Zhiyi can tell from his demeanor and the famous sword he wears that he is the patriarch Ikeda Yaemon, and only the patriarch is qualified to wear such a precious sword under the abolition order.

She has been waiting for these days, and finally waited for this opportunity for the other party to be alone.

She just followed behind, deliberately reducing her sense of existence. The Ikeda family's swordsmanship of severed heads and skins is famous all over the world, and it is even more terrifying than some samurai's murderous swordsmanship. The sword is extremely fast.If she was found, she would certainly not be able to escape.

She followed behind, trying to find a chance to step forward.She followed all the way to the alley, and Ikeda Yoemon, who was pulling two children in front of her, stopped suddenly.

"Come out." He turned his back to Zhiyi and said slowly, his tone was determined.

Zhiyi was taken aback. She had never been caught stalking others, because she had never practiced martial arts and her aura was weak, and she could always judge the best stalking distance.

really found me?

Or are you just scamming me?

She didn't step forward immediately, holding the short knife in her hand, in case the other party made any move.

There was no movement from either side, and Ikeda Yoemon still stood with his back to her, as if trusting her not to attack him.The two children next to him seemed a little confused about the situation, they looked left and right.

In the end, it was Zhiyi who couldn't hold back, she put away the short knife and stepped forward.Take off the bamboo hat on your head and show your true face to show your sincerity.

"How did you find me?" Zhiyi couldn't help asking.

Ikeda Yaemon took a look at her, and said, "You really hide your aura well, you should be very confident in sneaking."

"However, your heart is disturbed, and your breath is uncontrollably leaking out."

Zhiyi frowned slightly, forcibly suppressed his irritability, reached into his sleeve and held the short knife, loosening it and then clenching it tightly.It is said that caring makes chaos, probably because of this, she really can't calm down.

"I only feel uneasy in you, but not murderous. I think you should have no malicious intentions." Ikeda Yoemon continued looking at her.

Zhiyi raised his head, "I really don't mean anything malicious, I just want to find you... ask Patriarch Ikeda something."

After that, she slowly knelt down and made a standard Dogeza, "I just want to know, Shiraiyasha...how is Sakata Gintoki. He...isn't dead, right?"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a second when he heard the name, and he understood why Zhiyi followed him so secretly just to ask a question. After all, Sakata Gintoki was the leader of the most wanted people in the shogunate.

The situation is dangerous now, even though Ori has put on such a pleading gesture, Ikeda Yaemon still has not let down his vigilance.Once word got out that he let go of Shiraiyasha and other things that he wanted to commit, the Ikeda family would kill everyone. He didn't dare to bet, even if this woman looked pitiful.

He continued to probe, "Are you begging me to let him go? What's your relationship with him? "

He did not directly answer the other party's life and death situation, but deliberately said such words to test the other party's reaction.

"As long as you are willing to let him go, I am willing to do anything." Zhi Yi was still kneeling on the ground, her hands clenched tightly on the ground, she slowly closed her eyes, "If you have to execute the punishment anyway, use me as a substitute That's fine too. Please don't hurt him."

She has no ties in this world, no family, and few friends, just like a fluttering cat who doesn't know the meaning of her existence.The promise with Sakata Gintoki is her rare bond.

If that person is gone, I will become alone again.But that person is different from herself. He still has friends and has his own beliefs. She doesn't want that person to die no matter what.

Facing the unwavering awareness of weaving clothes until death, the middle-aged man was speechless for a moment.The little girl with light brown short hair blinked her eyes, and said with a simple face, "That's probably not right, sister, you are not naturally curly, even if you are a scapegoat, you can't pretend to be it."

This sentence made Zhiyi's eyes brighten, she straightened up excitedly, grabbed the girl's shoulder, "You have seen Ah Yin, right! He really is not dead!"

Seeing this situation, the black-haired boy who was taller than the little girl stepped between the two of them, took his weaving hand away, and stood in front of the little girl.

"Stop talking." The middle-aged man glanced at the little girl with apricot-colored short hair behind him, and then at Zhiyi who was not in a good state of mind. He hesitated for a moment.

But in the end he chose to hide it.

It's really pitiful for this woman to think that she lost her love, but ah, he bears the lives of those condemned prisoners he released, not only heroes like Sakata Gintoki during the barbarian era, but also implicated The old and the weak, women and children, besides that, there was the entire Ikeda family.

Once leaked, these people will all be implicated.

He has been enlightened since he did these things.

The middle-aged man's eyes darkened, and his tone was heavy, "...you are late, that man is already dead, and this old man personally intervened."

"No! You lied to me, right! How could Yinshi be killed so easily!" Zhiyi raised his voice and suddenly erupted. Such a move scared the black-haired boy and the little girl with brown hair, and they all backed away. Two steps back.

However, Ikeda Yoemon's eyes were still indifferent, as if the act of weaving could not arouse his sympathy, "That man is the leader of the people with lofty ideals, I think it's better for you not to have anything to do with him."

After that, he turned and left with the two children.

"Wait! Don't go! Tell me clearly!" Zhiyi's emotions almost collapsed, and she stepped forward to tug on the sleeve of the middle-aged man. At this time, she no longer had the calm and beautiful appearance she usually had.

The middle-aged man wanted to push her away, but he also knew Zhiyi's reaction was justifiable. He had seen too many faces of family members crying for criminals, so he just sighed.

In the end, the little boy stood in front, holding a wakizashi in his hand, but with a smile on his face, "Sister, please don't get close to my father and sister, or I will get angry."

Zhiyi froze in place, unable to say what he wanted to say, his pitiful and aggrieved expression was like that of an abandoned puppy, and Ruoliu Fufeng's body was as fragile as catkins, which made people feel guilty.

"Enough, let's go." The middle-aged man patted the boy on the shoulder, and finally ignored the weaving, turned and left, "Why did you come out with a knife again? Didn't I say that you can't show the skills of the Ikeda family at will?"

To be told so suddenly, it is difficult for anyone to accept the fact.Zhiyi is no exception. She is mentally broken now, so the things she has done cannot be viewed with the eyes of normal people.

She didn't leave, and was still guarding near Ikeda's house. Once Ikeda Yaemon came out of the house, she would go up and pester her. Her disheveled hair looked like a female ghost, very scary.

Gradually, there were rumors that there were too many criminals involved in the Ikeda family's fault, and they were entangled by the black-haired female ghost, which made people panic.

She didn't remember how long she stayed there, whether it was seven days or eight days, and she didn't have the heart to eat. Her physical fitness was poor and her body was getting weaker and weaker.She was still squatting in the alley near Ikeda's house, sitting on the ground with her knees hugged, motionless as if she was a dead body.

Until she felt someone standing in front of her, she looked up, and Ikeda Yoemon was looking at him seriously.

"The jailer found this on him. Please check if it belongs to me." He said and handed Zhi Yi a hairpin.

This silver butterfly hairpin is inlaid with various gemstones. Although it is a little damaged, it can still be seen that it is very expensive.This is obviously what Zhiyi gave him when she and Sakata Gintoki parted.

Once such a hairpin is taken away by the jailer, it will definitely be sold off. Ikeda Yaemon also took great pains to find this hairpin.

Zhi Yi stared blankly at the hairpin, and slowly took it over, his eyes flushed.As if it was difficult to accept the fact, she shook her head and muttered to herself: "No... no... how could he die so easily..."

It's just that the tears kept falling. She hasn't cried since she got the bad news. She just forced herself to calm down, which made her almost mentally collapsed.At this moment, the suppressed emotions are finally released.

Tears kept falling from her cheeks like broken pearls, Zhi Yi didn't know where the strength came from, she stood up suddenly, and threw the hairpin in her hand to the place.

"Why is this happening! Why are you leaving me! Don't give me hope that it won't come true in the first place!"

This hairpin seems to represent her destiny. Even though it looks beautiful and glamorous, it can also change the fate of being abandoned. Whether it is her mother or Sakata Gintoki, they all left her one by one in the end.

She seemed destined to be alone forever.

Ikeda Yoemon watched her out of control behavior and closed his eyes helplessly.Weeping, Zhi Yi looked at the silver butterfly hairpin on the ground that she had thrown down fiercely, then knelt down to pick it up again, and held it tightly in her hand.She didn't care if the silver piece pierced her palm.

She covered her face and cried in extreme pain, just wanting to be an abandoned child, releasing her feelings willfully and recklessly.

"Why...you leave me alone..."
