Sad Jiangnan

Well, the answer is finally revealed.

Just like Tang Wuzong who indulged in Taoism in the travel notes of the Tang Dynasty, the shrine in Kamogawa has also become the spiritual pillar of his brother.Until the day when Wu Zong himself realizes that the real reason for no one's ascension is not the "evil/religious miasma" affecting the collection of spiritual energy, I'm afraid it will already be thunderstorms in winter and rain and snow in summer.

Kiyohara Toshiin, who floated to Persia in Utsuho Monogatari, got two precious pianos by chance due to fate in his previous life.He told his daughter that the "Southern Wind", which can only be played at the moment of extreme sadness, seems to be played in the "Nishi Dui" in Onomiya.If the few endless lingering sounds can't make the sky collapse and the earth shatter, how can it so easily smooth the ripples of the mirror pool.

Fujikura thought, is the sound of the piano calling me?My short life seems to be hindered by the sound of the piano, but whenever I look back, I feel it is a bitter taste.If I don't even want to make up for my mistakes, is there any profound mage who can eliminate those karma?

Because of the many knots in my heart, I went up to the corridor opposite to the west.As I walked, the slats of the pair of halls made a "creaking" sound. Looking carefully, it turned out that the seam of the wooden planks was wide open.Fuji Quansuke thought, ah, the gap in this place was played here before, and he used to play here to catch ants climbing in the gap, probably not long after wearing a skirt, and taught the nurse Daisuke Shikibu to think of a way to catch the ants climbing in the gap. The plank was overturned.But the wet nurse didn't follow this order rashly, on the other hand she felt that the noble young master was not suitable for an ant and forbade him to play among the insects.So I used a brush dyed with ink to make a little mark on this place.Then, the wet nurse noticed this situation, and it was unexpected, so she yelled loudly, and then five or six wives gathered to clean it, no, no, the wet nurse wiped it off, right?She was very anxious at the time, and she raised her head and kept saying "this way, this way." It was obviously too angry to speak, it was very funny, right?There was always a creepy sound on the floor as the nails kept rubbing against the crevices.In the end, I don’t know what happened. The gaps in the boards became very large. Over time, people thought that the seams here had always been like this.Until the time when my brother was crowned, the dirt that faded still remained.

The drowsy Dingguang Dajin noticed the drizzle-like footsteps, and his eyes widened, showing fear.On the contrary, Fuji Gonsuke, who was looking at him, stood there like a pine tree.

Although Fujiquansuke has a natural cowardice rooted in his heart, the ability of not to be outdone, because of this shortcoming, always plays the role of armor or a sharp sword.

Therefore, he spoke first, "I want to talk to my brother for a while, I hope you don't stop me, this must be said. I think you should understand that no matter how intimate you are with you, you will never be able to You can take part in the housework instead. If you really care about Zhong Nayan, you can wait and go outside." This is what he said with a very tired look.

Fujikonsuke thought, Dingguang Daijin must have the intention of refuting in his heart, but he just couldn't say anything to me.Seeing that Da Jin was silent for a while, he walked away knowingly.

Fuji Quansuke entered the room, and found that the place was as it was seen from the outside, and none of the candlesticks were lit.Just now I could borrow some lights from all directions outside, but now the sound of the piano has also stopped, and there is darkness rolling in all around.The smell of incense that was once revived in this place was completely lost in the stench of resentment.He hesitated but still remembered that there was originally a screen here, which should be avoided carefully, and there should be a place where some tents were set up, and the road was impassable.

But when did the surroundings light up?At the same time as the sound of the rain entered the ears again, a shell-like light leaked out from under the screen on one side.Looking at it for a long time, it seems to give birth to a kind of sixth sense of the blind.Fuji Quansuke felt that the shadow of the maple tree in front of the mirror pond behind the screen had changed. Why did the shadow of the natural night scene easily become a person?If there is such a pine tree in front of the door that lives with each other day and night, it will be a terrible thing if one day it is discovered that those vivid bark textures can actually form the appearance of a human face?

Fuji Quansuke's feet seemed to be nailed there.On the grid outside, an orange lantern was lit, and the stingy firelight passing through the back sent a damp smell.Underneath the soft sleeves, there was a faint look of authenticity.Next to the table, one end of the harp is exposed.

Fuji Quansuke's beating heart was finally able to speak out, "Let me put it this way, why did you go to the West Market? I know this matter is not a day or two long." The impassioned tone made Fuji Quan Jie's footsteps pushed forward, and when he sat on the tatami, he could almost feel the coldness of that figure's back.

So far, Fuji Quansuke dared not say anything else.But there are still a lot of thoughts that I want to confide, and they are pouring into my heart continuously. Who are I angry with?Brother, he clearly understands that looking for a woman day and night like this is a waste of effort, why do you still do that?

Isn't the wind blowing from outside the house as cold as a mountain breeze?When you come here, you are standing on the edge of the cliff. The bottomless abyss is approaching, and you are calling like you are from your hometown.

"As long as a woman who is favored and breeds arrogance, the mercenary in her body has nothing to do with each other's status or beauty. The so-called 'throw me a peach, and repay it with Qiongyao' is just a play on the spot based on the lie of 'talent and beauty'. It doesn’t matter if you deny it, a person in the sky committing himself to this mortal world is different from them after all. There is a Milky Way between the two, and there is no predestined relationship. Instead, you have to be the one who crosses the river first. At this point, there was really no reason to hold back, and he uttered all the words in his heart at once.

Heqin suddenly made a passionate cicada sound, and fell to the ground with a "boom".Turning around like an abyss, the white mask is like countless bright moons in the sky, emitting faint light. "People in the sky? Can you still say such words?"

"Why do you always ignore the concerns of your family members? Stop paying attention to women! Who else doesn't care what you look like except me?"

"Okay, I have the guts to say it." The elder brother grabbed his shoulder all at once, his strong fingers twisted and twisted through the clothes, as if because of the pain, his mouth became very bitter.At that moment, the mask suddenly fell off the brother's face.

The curly roots on that face may be bright red in color, just like a hot cannon.But is it because of being watched by oneself?The qiugen was stained with metal silence, like bones scattered on the ground, but strangely placed on the top of the withered neck.When Fuji Gonsuke's hand was grabbed into the bone forest, he knew that his uncontrollable trembling was about to intensify.That kind of Qiugen is different from the fiery memory, giving him many reveries about the cold winter.Every inch of root hair is as gentle as fine snow.

"You can see clearly now, can you see my face clearly?"

The screaming elder brother was as ferocious as a corpse.All memories of beauty were smashed like a piece of china.On my brother's wet clothes, there was a fishy smell unique to aquatic products.Fuji Quansuke now understands that what he is stroking is a dying fish. A carp without a beautiful color is despised by others. plate.

The scene behind the mask that I was looking forward to, although unable to get rid of the ugly and frightening fate, has a voice that can rival Kalavinka.Why has there always been a saying that there is only unparalleled beauty in this world, is there anyone who has seen the appearance of heaven and man?If everyone said that the appearance of heaven and man is incomparable, then Fujiquan would say that the appearance of heaven and man is ugly.But the voice of heaven and man must be round and smooth, which classic should be found for the right one?The elder brother who is almost insane before him has long since ceased to have anything to do with words such as "筚篥" and "Sweet ear".

"Brother, I..."

Of course, the ghost didn't worry about his own feelings, and he said in a torture-like voice, "Why are you pretending to be pitiful here? Take back your tears. If you want to pretend to cry in front of me, that would be extremely stupid." , take a good look at my face!"

The contest between the party and the dissent will eventually end with the victory of one party when the secret is revealed.The long stare made Fuji Quansuke's shoulders sore, and if he turned his head to the side a little, his brother would mistake him for fear of his face.Metal-like fingers immediately clasped Fuji Gonsuke's chin, and pulled it back to the front-facing position.

"I saw it, I saw it clearly."

The cold strips of meat are getting hotter and hotter, and in the orange light, there is a viscous texture attacked by rotting plants.

"Do you think it's smallpox?"

"Smallpox..." Fuji Quansuke smiled, "He even said it was smallpox."

"Ah, are you not satisfied? When it was said that it was smallpox, you were so happy that you couldn't sleep."

The bitter taste in Fujikonsuke's mouth made him unable to open his mouth.

The grimace magnified in front of my eyes, and what seemed to be the "mouth" was suddenly cracked, and it seemed to exude a rotten smell, "Whose fault is this?" The meaning of 'slick tongue, thick face', I have to pretend Are you willing to look like you don’t know? Going to tell the truth about me in front of the Changqiao Bureau has the face of asking for credit. Then tell you, I don’t think of you as a younger brother anymore.”

Brother who should be crying, why don't you try crying.On the contrary, my nose is getting more and more sour, and if I speak, tears will flow down easily.It's too late to say something more apologetic.Often when I sincerely want to tell, there is always a third kind of face that is dissociated, twisting the silk thread called "family affection" and getting longer.

Fujikonsuke had no choice, "Instead of saying it's my fault, it's better to say that I burned your face! But what I said earlier is absolutely not adulterated. I would never have thought that it would be like this A sad sentence. Are you really speaking for others, or are you looking for an excuse to drive me away? If that woman’s heart is real, will such a thing happen?” Then, two more lines of tears fell out orbital.

How can the memory be covered up so that it can be closer to the truth?It’s best to be like the dolls of the girls. What kind of clothes to wear and what kind of outfits to make are all brand-new changes. You can’t see the original appearance at all, and let yourself decide.If it is imagined as a painting, of course it is also very good.With an excuse of reminiscence, you don't need to ask other people's opinions about the past, and you can write it with your own hands.

The year when his elder brother became crowned was the paradise that Fuji Quansuke imagined countless times.It is not to supplement the complete mottled memory by imagining without authorization.The color of the fire, as long as you dig a little bit of the land in your heart, you can suddenly play back in front of your eyes.

If this year's summer is as long as that year's, then until yesterday and that night, the same song of cicadas will surely continue into the night.The dark blue evening, the courtyard with flowing water, and the sporadic lights that act as stars and moons are all elements that create memories. Why can’t I recall my brother’s appearance no matter what?

Originally there was an open space next to the daffodil field, the soil was compacted, and neither flowers nor trees were planted nor white sand laid.At dusk in summer, when the evening wind blows up, it is very pleasant to play some Cuju games here.If it is in autumn or early spring, when the weather is not extreme, it is also very appropriate to set up a stage here for the fun of orchestral music.

Is my waywardness different from ordinary people, is it a kind of fate or misfortune?No matter how well cared for a person like myself is, if he can teach himself to detect the slightest flaw, and thus to make a fantasy, bad luck will haunt him in a strange way.Fuji Quansuke in such a situation, if he said that he was a poor child, it would not be an exaggeration.

A person like my father doesn't even have the patience to read himself, and he who tried to deny this is really ignorant.But characters with a common heart must exist in this world.He has a brother who grew up with him, and his tastes and aesthetics are unbelievably consistent.Such a person makes Fuji Quansuke deeply believe that even if language is not used as a carrier, each other's minds can still be taught to each other in endless forms.

But the communion of spirit and the connivance of reality are two completely independent things.Of course, you can take the Cuju you got for the first time to ask your brother's approval to play games together.But the excitement under the reddened cheeks, even though it was clear to my brother at a glance, still got a frightening answer.

"It's so dark, how can you still play cuju? If you still want to play in your heart, why not go and see the carp brought back by your father. I just saw it once this morning. It is big and beautiful. In this pond, when the carp poke their heads out, they will be named."

Isn't it more hateful to play the elder brother who is a bosom friend and make a retrograde decision with him than never being willing to interpret?On the other side of my heart, there is a desire to succeed, and the unintentional wish of the "poor child" will one day be realized.

In Fuji Quansuke's veiled pain, his brother finally said, "When it's so dark, what kind of rules should we make to be able to have fun? The pine light here has already been lit, but I can use the light to kick it a few times. Or, quickly Let's play on the ground for a while, if my mother sees it, I will be reprimanded."

People at that time thought that Cuju was a rough sport, and it would be particularly indecent if the nobles in the capital enjoyed it endlessly.An extraordinary person from the royal family like my mother hated it even more from the bottom of her heart.

With so many restrictions imposed on the halfway of seeking happiness, the unhappiness in Fuji Quansuke's heart rises like green smoke.Even if he is not restrained, a compromise after being rejected cannot make Fuji Quansuke any more happy.

My brother said, "It's not impossible to play a few more times in the future. Let's talk about it when my mother goes back, isn't it good?"

Having said that, I can't lose my temper for no reason. Do I want to teach my brother to light up the sky again?The heart that had finally calmed down became wobbly again within a short while, and the ball that was originally in his hand was lost somewhere.During the conversation, the sky became so dark unknowingly, even if you put your fingers in front of your eyes, you can't see why.If the surrounding area is white sand, then the ball should be easy to find.But there was a handful of pine light by his side, so bright that it made people's eyes hurt, but it couldn't shine on the body where the ball was left.

Suddenly, the ball rolled straight towards him as if responding to the command in his heart.Fuji Quansuke held it in his arms as before, and under the loud noise that was ignored because he was too focused, there was a scorching heat of unknown origin.Song Ming, who was lying on the ground beside him, sent a hissing noise.In the dry and bitter air, there was a reassuring smell of meat.

Fuji Gonsuke, who had been standing still, felt tired. It would be great if he could rest for a while on the nearest siding or on a path where he could sit on the ground.Children of this age cannot stand for too long.But not far away, the shadow rolling on the ground is just the fetters entangled in his legs.Because of this, he maintained the posture of embracing the ball, and well resolved the bewilderment and panic in his heart into a long-term dullness far exceeding his peers.

With Fujiquansuke's beating heart, he could gradually hear Kalavinka's mournful cry when he was about to die.

The elder brother's hand, which was covering his face, was trembling non-stop because of the beating firelight, or it was trembling violently itself.

Fuji Quansuke really thought that people are also composites of such vulgar things.Is man's concern about eating meat because he thinks those creatures are too ugly?Or are they afraid of their extreme similarity to themselves?It has long been heard that the Tang Kingdom, which is infinitely admired by the people of the other side, always has a vulgar custom of eating people for each other during times of war.Just imagine the appearance of being cooked in a cauldron like cattle, sheep, fish and poultry.The cooked hands are the same as the hands holding on to the chopsticks, the well-cooked legs are the legs that are used for running around day and night, and the shaved face is no different from the face that is about to eat.

Fujiquansuke's bewildered excitement inevitably dissipated due to the voices of people coming from afar.The brother's clothes lying on the ground must have become dirty due to repeated tossing. Even in the dim light, you can notice that the original light color gradually turned into thick black.Even though his brother kept shouting, "Help me!" Fujikonsuke felt his feet sore, and he never left his spot.Until the servants from all directions rushed to the front, they were completely surrounded by the filthy straight clothes.

At the beginning when his brother's face was severely burned, he was afraid that this horrific secret would affect his official career after he survived.My father specially sent someone to find craftsmen from other places to make a mask for occasional needs.But at that time, most of the people in Onomiya believed that the few days that the elder brother had, was sending him to the bardo little by little.

Every night when Fujikonsuke couldn't sleep, he could hear the wailing from Nishi no Yuri, and the wailing seemed to stick to his ears, burning like a raging hellfire, "It hurts, it hurts."

What did mother think?The most ulterior fear in my heart, could it be that my brother died or the best ending for my brother was death?It would be intoxicating to suffer day and night like that of a domesticated animal, to commit oneself to death.This kind of death is rare in the world, leaving no regrets, no fear, as clear as autumn dew, sweet and enviable.

Since then, I think you also understand how great changes have taken place in Nayan Fujinaka's life.However, it seems biased to judge Fujitsusuke's fault based on this.Or for Fujikonsuke, what he said just now was the time when things backfired.If one maintains a position from the beginning to the end, conferring guilt or innocence, it will be a great tolerance for Fuji Quansuke.But why do people often say that they can't stand up, and they like to make up their own contradictions to overthrow themselves?

The indifference of the mother was taken for granted, and the infection never stopped until the father uttered a voice to stop it.One of my brother's wet nurses would always take care of Fuji Gonsuke's daily life when Daisuke Shikibe went home on leave.If this wet nurse has something important to do, Daisuke Shikibe will naturally take care of Fujinaka Nayan.In this way, aren't these two women all amiable and lovely people?However, to this day, Fuji Quansuke can't think of any tender memories about this wet nurse.It was far from the kindness and virtuousness that the retainers said. As long as she could remember, she had been looking at herself with the eyes of a cow and a horse.

But is he really a sinless person?

In fact, it is far from known, Fuji Quansuke never felt sorry for his brother in his heart.Imagine such a scene.If the elder brother gets married and has children without incident, he will inherit his father's political property and become a supreme and noble minister.So according to the ideal situation, of course, you have a wife and children before yourself.So in this narrow courtyard, sometimes nephews come to live.Despite his brother's docile nature, not every child can be like him.Some have cunning and eccentric tempers, which are difficult to raise, and some don't know who to inherit, and they always oppose their elder brothers.

After his father passed away, how many wives will he have, unlike his brother in the past?how many kids?Father, son, brother, and other close relatives still can't understand each other's minds, so he will definitely hate his brother's children from initial annoyance to incomparable hatred, won't he?If nothing else, in the days after bidding farewell to his brother, the old man would have to face the children of other women who regarded him as an enemy.Perhaps before his brother passed away, he disclosed his unwilling conflict with himself.Or should he take the first step and let his brother be at their mercy?Fujikura would like to say, even if he is himself now, isn't he already a person with nothing?Nouns such as family and kinship are another name for private property.What is the difference between being in that cruel situation and being in hell.

Of course, this is an extremely vulgar conception, let's just be honest, Fuji Gonsuke's tears until now also have a kind of coldness that excludes blood and flesh.Due to routine vulgar things such as etiquette and face, after all, we have to base ourselves on it, and say some pleasantries to excuse ourselves on the occasion.

In fact, human beings have an animal nature. For the same reason as Fujitsusuke, this kind of nature, whether it is wild or wild, often breaks out at the most unexpected time, and wears a human body. , do what animals do.Why are these people surprised when they reveal their true nature?It must be a huge gap from the usual excessive camouflage, which makes people unbelievable.Fujikonsuke has always lacked the ability to pretend, so he can only rashly show his sincerity in broad daylight.And why is such a sincere and frankness more likely to attract disgust and criticism?In fact, this is very unfair, but there is no other way.

Now Quansuke Fujin, who is stepping closer to ordinary people, is just a clumsy performance with hindsight in the eyes of Nayan Fujinaka.But for Fuji Quansuke himself, under the best situation for him, the elder brother's thoughts are not so important.However, shouldn't he say some redeeming words in order to complete the task assigned to him by the secular routine?Although he is not very good at concealing the truth, he seems to be able to teach himself and enjoy this habit of deceiving others without the guidance and persecution of others.But must it be his fault?

Fuji Quansuke looked at his brother with eyes full of tears again, and his brother's obvious silence made him say, "So, did you love me?" She opened her mouth like that, but she couldn't stop, "From birth to now, have you ever liked my little brother even once?"

Predictably, there was no answer.

What if you answered?Although that may be minimal.Although Fujikonsuke is a heartless and different person, he admits this, and the kind of cheap tears that can fall at any time are the best proof.But who said that such a person is unwilling to be treated kindly?If the elder brother said "no", it would be a lie of course, Fuji Quansuke has nothing to worry about.It would be great if the answer is "yes".Whenever my brother made a sound at this time, it was fine, and I would be relieved immediately, why didn't my brother speak at that time?

Going on in such silence, Fuji Quansuke has no doubt that his brother will become a statue because of this.In other words, in this silent competition, I have never won a time.

What's more, the real scary thing about my elder brother is that his words are bound to do what he says.If there is a plan to impress him with a few words, it is better to give up this idea as soon as possible.Not long ago, Fuji Quansuke heard a "boom", as if a door closed.His alliance with his father was solemnly established by the closing of this door.

At the beginning of his elder brother's suffering from pain, Kamoshi's chief medicine practitioner often visited Onomiya's private residence to treat his elder brother's illness.It is said that thanks to the extraordinary relationship between the mother and His Majesty the Emperor, no matter the prominent family of the pharmacists in the Tang Dynasty, or the rare medicinal materials that traveled across the ocean to Japan, they can always be used to take care of family affairs.

Even so, the self at that time still clearly remembered the old-fashioned words through the wall, "Let's resign ourselves to fate."

As far as I can see now, this "Warlock" who made me feel completely disliked once again appeared in the main hall of the house as a guest of honor, with a rough disguise that was no less than his own.This is ridiculous, how could my father act like he thought he was right?Dian Yaotou was withdrawing from the Hiroyuzu, Fuji Quansuke waited for the opportunity to stop him.

"What are you doing again?" asked like this.Dian Yaotou looked quite calm, if he had to say that he was caught off guard, it would probably be revealed in his mouth that was slightly opened and did not speak for a while.

"It's about Nayan in your mansion."

Is there something wrong with this person's head for saying such obvious words without authorization?Fuji Quansuke rolled his eyes sideways, "Is it about my brother? I don't even know."

Dian Yaotou's expression remained unchanged, "This lord behaves strangely at home, it's not surprising that you don't know about it."

"Okay, what are you here for?"

"I came to see a doctor for His Highness Zhong Nayan."

"What disease?"

Seeing Dian Yaotou's silence, Fuji Quansuke grabbed his hand and said, "Just tell me, actually, I know that my brother's face is not a smallpox."

In terms of demagoguery, Fujikonsuke does have his own skills.

Dian Yaotou's reaction was a little dull, and he just said, "If possible, it's best to go and see for yourself."

This person's tone was almost the same as that of his elder brother, and he looked very familiar with his family members.Fujikonsuke felt a little nauseous.

"What is the disease this time?"

"You should be the one who discovered this first, you hoped so, didn't you." He deliberately pretended to be secretive, "As a result, guess who discovered it?"

"Who?"

"That Ukyo Daishin who is serving by Zhong Nayan's side."

Although Fujitsusuke didn't say anything, his slightly bent fingers still made his anger obvious.Dian Yaotou said again, "Actually, I have been observing you for a while in Da Nei."

"Watch me? Why?"

"You always seem to think that you are better than others, which is not a good thing." Pointing to the defect that he is most obsessed with, Fuji Quansuke couldn't get rid of the rut of being angry about it.

"Why do you say that?" Fuji Quansuke smiled.Dian Yaotou usually doesn't talk much, so of course there is a great suspicion of deep scheming.This is by no means nonsense, in fact many bad guys have this trait.

"To tell you the truth, it's just a feeling." When Dian Yao looked at people, he could always teach the other party not to see his own emotions.This kind of eyes is often the most terrifying, and it can see through other people's souls with just one glance.Fujikonsuke couldn't help but think of the woman from Nishiichi that his brother wanted.

Then, Dian Yao bowed and left.

Fuji Gonsuke, who was motionless in place, was almost sweating, what a shame!Do you want to take another risk to your brother because of this pretentious rhetoric?If not, it is time to ask your father.It is true that he is responsive to his requests, but after the incident with Nadeshiko, it seems that he can detect all the dirty thoughts for him.Although the father did not express any real behavior, neither disgust nor forgiveness, such ambiguity made Fuji Quansuke fall into the fear of meeting him.Just a hasty glance at home, or sitting at the same table in the big house, is tormented like being in a raging fire.What's more, now he has more than one crime that caused great changes in the family, all of which are unknown to his father.How could father know?Who will tell father?

The relationship between the world's worst and scumbags is unclear.Fuji Quansuke thought to himself, he would rather break up with his father than say a word to his father other than entertainment.It's best not to entertain, that person will disappear forever in his own world, so that he can get a moment of comfort in his heart.

Unlike his thoughts when he was young, Fujikonsuke seems to have lost the ability to regret.He clenched his fists tightly, and immediately set off west to the temple.Just take a look, take a look or stay there for a while, my brother will not take any measures against him.Since it's a good thing to talk to each other.Who else can do nothing to win him?

But on the way, the most terrifying thing happened.The father's face suddenly appeared in the center of the Tudu Hall.Fuji Quansuke almost screamed, his heart was completely confused.Whether Nadeshiko was at that time, or when my brother was at that time, or when I was very young, holding Cuju who was the same as myself, crying in front of my father, telling the truth to my father, I don’t necessarily have such fear.But he lied to his father, and he is destined to walk two paths with his father from now on.

Fujikonsuke didn't even bother to say hello to his father.Father spoke first, "I have something to tell you."

Fujikonsuke was turned on a rogue switch because of this, "Say it, it's here."

"It's inconvenient here." His father walked towards him, and the distance between the two of them was less than a foot. If they walked further, their noses were about to touch their noses, but fortunately, his father stopped.From this angle, you can clearly see several dark spots under the thin lead powder on the father's face that are different from the original skin color.

"Where can it be convenient?"

"I'll show you something." The father seemed to know with certainty what he wanted to explore, and after bypassing himself, he left behind a figure walking straight towards the main hall.

Fuji Quansuke followed his father to the inner room. His father climbed into the ledger, and quickly climbed out again, holding something in his hand.

"what?"

Father turned over the satin that covered it, and the pieces appeared in front of his eyes. It was a cracked mask, divided into several pieces. The paint on the edges of the pieces had been curled, and the purple silk had There are dots of yellow sawdust, as if someone accidentally ate the crumbs of a snack on it.There was a crack splitting from the center of one of the golden false eyes, as if a living human face was shattered in front of his eyes.Fuji Gonsuke's heart trembled.

"Why is that?" Fujitsu asked.Father didn't speak for a while.Fuji Quansuke asked, "Then, where is brother? If you go out like that..."

"There's no way to go out."

"What do you mean?"

The father spread the fragments of his brother's mask on the ground and pointed to his nose, "This place is bleeding."

"How is this possible." Fuji Quansuke grinned, and his father especially liked to say alarmist things.What's more, I had seen my brother's face before, it was smooth and soft like cold meat in winter, and there was nothing wrong with it.Maybe the self in my father's cognition is still immersed in the lies of "smallpox", "You don't have to say it again if you are joking, I don't have that kind of mood."

"Just now, didn't you still want to go to your brother's room?"

"Isn't it okay to go and see? Why do you always target him? In fact, you want your brother to be seriously ill, right?"

"What kind of words are you talking about? You have such an attitude towards your father." Saying this, his father didn't seem to appreciate it at all, and the expression on his face didn't change. "It was always raining a few days ago, this guy doesn't know how to run Where are you going to go wild? How dare he dare to have a face like that. The rainwater flowed into the mask, and it was rotten all of a sudden! It will really cause trouble for me."

At this moment, my father seemed to know that he knew the truth behind his brother's mask, so he said it nonchalantly.As if to retaliate for the previous contempt for him.It was so strange that he didn't feel anything like family affection for his brother.How in the world do parents behave like this, is father the only exception?In fact, Fuji Quansuke has long looked down on his father in his heart. To be able to sit on the high position of the Taizheng Minister, if it is not a despicable means, it will be a blessing from heaven.Fortunately, His Majesty's head is still sober. If the country is really to be governed by such a person, it should be messed up long ago.

Seeing Fuji Gonsuke's pensive look, his father thought he was thinking about those confused words just now, so his tone became more relaxed, "You don't know about your brother yet, do you?"

Fuji Quansuke's heart was entangled, but his face matched his father's performance, "What's this called? Rainwater will rot on your face, you really know how to make up stories."

"Actually, I didn't tell you the truth before." He also said seriously, "Your brother's face is not as simple as smallpox. And he has developed a high fever these days."
