Sleeping under the wind blowing cherry tree

I can't remember anything other than my own name, Sakurako.

Mrs. Meizi was willing to take her in when she found out, and Yingzi also chose to stay to help her sisters in order to repay her life-saving grace. By the way, she helped to buy the needed things, just like today, although Yingzi can't remember the past after a year The memory of her is also very comfortable, and the sisters here take good care of her.

And she doesn't need to serve guests, she just dances when there is a lack of people. For Yingzi now, memory doesn't seem to be that important.

After Yingzi returned to her room, she fell down on the tatami and breathed a sigh of relief. It was the first time she saw the patrol of the Shinsengumi today, and the purple figure was still lingering in Yingzi's mind. Why does she always feel that there is a sense of familiarity, the throbbing in her heart seems to still exist when she thinks about it now, at that time her eyes were all on that person.

"If I had known it earlier, I would have asked, the former me... knew him?" Yingzi simply gave up thinking about it, turned her body sideways and began to fall asleep.

"Knock-knock—" There was a knock on the door, and the paper door was quickly pulled open, and Hanako in a geisha costume shouted brightly, "Sakurako! Sakurako! Get up! We're short on manpower and we're going to help! "

"Huh? I just fell asleep..." Yingzi rubbed her eyes, a little dissatisfied with Hanako's rude intrusion.

"Why do you sleep? You are sleeping here with a good-looking handsome guy. It's a waste of your youth!" Hanako dragged Yingzi out of the room regardless of Sanqi 21, and called a group of The good sister changed Yingzi into a geisha's clothes, and put on light makeup.

Hanako secretly praised with satisfaction, "As expected of our Sakura, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, and wearing geisha clothes can definitely kill everyone in seconds."

"It's just that the clothes look good, Hanako, please stop teasing me." Yingzi lowered her head shyly.

"Let's go, it's not good if the guests are in a hurry."

"En!" It seems that today is busy again, Shimabara's business is very hot every day, often due to lack of manpower, Sakurako has to dance a lot of dances in one night, after all, she is not a professional, she dances too much My feet are almost broken.

In front of the paper door that was about to be opened, Hanako tidied up her messed up makeup, and after making sure that there was no problem, she opened the paper door respectfully, and everything in the room was reflected in the eyes of the two of them. inside.

"I'm sorry." After they came in, all the eyes in the room were on them, all kinds of eyes. Although they felt uncomfortable being stared at, they could only keep staring at them.

Hana played the shamisen, and Sakura took out a fan and danced. Amidst the soft music, the gorgeous dance attracted a lot of attention.

Yingzi heard that the guests in this room were all from Changzhou, and it seemed that they would gather in Shimabara to discuss some important matters. Yingzi was dancing hard while listening to their conversation.

"Watching beautiful women dance is enough for me. This time we are going to talk about the assassination of the director of the Shinsengumi the day after tomorrow." As soon as the leader said, the commotion of the crowd immediately calmed down.

And Yingzi only thought that dancing in such a strange atmosphere would make even herself feel strange.Hanako saw Sakurako's depression, so she could only show her eyes that she had no choice but to look at such a group of people who wanted to look but didn't look, it was a waste of time for Hanako.

Come on!Which girl told her that she could appreciate handsome guys here, she was simply cheated!

With a sound of "Boom--", a large group of people wearing blue feathers rushed in, and the rogues in the room each drew their swords to be on guard.

Hanako's eyes lit up, and when she saw the blue haori, she knew that this group of people was the Shinsengumi!Yingzi stopped her dance and got a little closer to Hanako. This state of being ready to go made her a little scared.

"You two ladies, go out first, we will leave this place to us." The man with dark green long hair said to them.

"Oh, good!" Hanako nodded and said quickly, pulled Sakurako back out quickly, that person is Shinsengumi's deputy chief Hijikata Toshizo, he really is not ordinary handsome!

"Wait!" A rogue grabbed Sakurako's wrist, put a samurai sword on Sakurako's neck, and glared at Hijikata.

"You guys are so despicable. Taking a woman as a hostage is considered a samurai! Sakurako!" Seeing this, Hanako immediately spoke.However, she didn't dare to go forward, and could only watch Yingzi's uncomfortable expression.

"You bitch, shut up! I was forced to do this! Why, is the deputy head of the Tangtang Xinxuan team going to draw a sword at us regardless of the life of a geisha!"

The seriousness on Hijikata's face cannot be ignored. Although he was angry with the opponent's methods, he was helpless. That girl was obviously innocent!

"That's not necessarily the case." The next moment, an indifferent voice sounded from behind Langshi, and then blood splashed everywhere, Yingzi was released and fell to the ground coughing.

"It's really time for you to come, Saito." Hijikata smiled gratifiedly.

"Yakko!" Hanako hurriedly ran forward to help Yingzi up.

Saito was slightly taken aback when he heard Yingzi's name, and turned his head to look at Yingzi's face with more doubts, it's impossible!That person died a year ago, it was just a coincidence!

"Saito, take the two of them out of here." Hijikata frowned at the number of people on the other side, and then ordered immediately.

"Yes." Saito led the way, and Hanako supported Sakurako to follow.

"It's safe here, don't leave here until it's quiet outside." A relatively large empty room, Saito looked around and it should be far away.

"Thank you sir." Hanako thanked politely.

"En. Is she... all right?" Saito regretted it when he opened his mouth. It should have nothing to do with him whether there is anything wrong with the geisha.

"Yakoko was just a little scared, and she will be fine soon." Hanako said.

As if to prove that she was really fine, Yingzi raised her head weakly, showing a not-so-complete smile, "Thank you sir for saving me, Yingzi is fine now."

The moment Saito saw that smile, a familiar face seemed to overlap with the person in front of him, but Saito quickly shook his head and cleared the phantom.

"Remember, don't leave here!" After finishing speaking, Saito left, leaving the two of them staring at each other.

What was Mr. Saito doing shaking his head by himself just now?A big question mark appeared in their minds.

But what made them relieved was that until the outside completely calmed down, their lives were not in danger, and they spent this sleepless night safely.

Extra episode 2. Thanksgiving dinner

Afterwards, the Shinsengumi successfully captured nearly a dozen Changzhou rogues. When they brought them out of Shimabara, Madam Meiko learned that they had rescued Hanako and Sakurako, and promised to treat them to a sumptuous dinner the next day. Everyone in the Shinsengumi also readily accepted, and Shimabara's wine has always been the favorite of many of them.

Not long after this incident, Mrs. Meizi called the parties, Huazi and Yingzi, and after careful questioning, the two were relieved that nothing had happened.

"I'm sorry, Mama-san...it's because I was caught that Mama-san treats them..." Mrs. Meizi treats guests, this is a very rare thing, Yingzi feels guilty for her recklessness.

"Fool..." Mrs. Meizi smiled gently, and touched Yingzi's lowered head, "Even if you were not rescued by them, I would do the same. Recently, Changzhou rogues often come and go to our Shimabara, and their Some behaviors also troubled some girls. Although we geisha perform art, we never sell ourselves! Shinsengumi's arrest of them this time can be regarded as a solution to our hatred, which is the result they deserved."

"Well, I see, Mama-san." Yingzi cheered up and smiled.

"Mom-san, don't worry, I will take good care of Yingzi, Yingzi is like my sister." Hanako promised.

"Well, I don't worry about that. Tonight, you all go dance for the Shinsengumi. This is the only thank you you can express."

"Yes." Both Hanako and Sakura nodded.

Night fell quickly, and the main cadres of the Shinsengumi gathered together, talking and laughing, drinking wine, it seemed that the captain of the first team, Souji Okita, was not present.

Nagakura Shinpachi generously drank the wine in the glass, and then poured another full glass, not forgetting to praise the good wine.

"Thank you sir for your appreciation. The wine here is carefully selected." Hanako looked at Xinpachi with a funny face and drank the wine as tea.

"Speaking of which, I was a little careful from the beginning, that Miss Sakura, are you sure your surname is not Mokari?" Harada Sanosuke raised his eyebrows suspiciously, looking at Sakura who was pouring wine for Saito.

"The little girl only has a first name but no surname, why do you ask such a question?" Yingzi was also puzzled.

"Ah, it's okay..." Harada looked at Saito and didn't respond, so it was probably a coincidence.

"It just so happens that we know an old friend whose name is also Sakurako. Isn't that right, Chizuru?"

"Huh?" Chizuru, who didn't expect the topic to change from Harada to himself, was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Ah... yes."

"Really, that's a pity, after all, the little girl with the same name also wants to meet." Yingzi smiled.

"Hey, can you tell us more about that Baili Yingzi?" Hanako asked as if suddenly interested.

"Ah, she... Saito should know best." Harada scratched his head, and decisively threw this question to Saito, as if he had started a not-so-good topic.
