The man rescued from Kabukicho

While washing up, Cilang did some mental construction in front of the mirror.

Ci Lang looked at himself in the mirror seriously, and encouraged himself in his heart: As long as he doesn't blush in embarrassment, the big cat should give up if he fails in molesting him.

After washing up, and there was still a while before going out, Ci Lang went downstairs in his home clothes.

A strange voice came from the entrance, talking to Ijuin, it seemed to be an elderly man.

Have guests so early?

Cilang felt that his clothes were not suitable for meeting guests, so he stopped his steps, but he thought that He Chen was notorious for not meeting guests, and very few guests could enter the villa, let alone early morning, which was not a suitable time for visitors.

So Cirou looked curiously.

The guest was changing his shoes. It turned out that he had not just arrived, but was about to leave. The old man was wearing a fisherman hat and a sports suit, and he was dressed like an ordinary retired employee.

However, Jiro recognized the other party's identity.

Moriyama wants one.

Even if he doesn't like to watch the news, Jiro knows that the previous sensational Tokyo governor's suicide incident, the current handling seems to end with dismissal, the public is quite dissatisfied with this, no wonder Moriyama dressed so plainly and low-key.

Hearing Moriyama's relaxed smile, Jiro said, "Come here today and say goodbye to you. My wish in Tokyo will be fulfilled. Let's go and return to my hometown to spend my old age leisurely. If there is a chance, you can go to Hokkaido in the future." , the old man will once again show the friendship of the landlord."

Yijuin replied in a very polite tone: "Thank you for coming here on purpose. I'm really scared. Hokkaido is a good place. I will definitely visit it if I have the opportunity. Please cherish it."

Moriyama laughed heartily: "Then, I won't delay you. Goodbye."

Yijuin: "Go slowly."

Then Yijiyuan asked the bodyguard Haosheng to escort Moriyama out, and then there was the sound of closing the door.

What, Cilang thought almost childishly, why is the big cat so courteous to a criminal.

On second thought, this must be cheating Xiao Yugan again.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Cilang hiding in the corner, Yijiin, who seemed to be in a happy mood, raised the corners of his lips, and Bidong went over to ask.

Cilang made a grimace: "Are you in a good mood?"

When the two of them are alone, they are a little childish from time to time, as if they are back in junior high school.

Yijiyuan laughed lowly: "He thought he could take the stolen money and go back to his hometown to retire leisurely. In fact...why am I in a bad mood?"

Sure enough, he was cheating Xiaoyugan.

Although there was some speculation in his heart, but when it was actually confirmed, Ci Lang still couldn't help but shook his head, and patted the big cat on the forehead: "Bad cat."

Yijuin got a little closer, sandwiched Cirou between him and the wall, and lowered his head innocently: "Bad? What's wrong with me? Last night, I especially indulged you in swearing."

Thinking of the words he was forced to say last night, Cilang's face instantly flushed red, and he said in embarrassment, "You! Don't think my English is bad! Fxxxme is not a swear word, but fxxxyou is a swear word!"

Yijuin was very generous: "Okay, come on."

Jiro was so angry that he raised his head and bit Yijuin's chin.

At this time, the smart panel on the wall next to them rang the connection tone of the access control system, and a girl's voice came from it: "Moses, Moses? Let me state in advance, although I have the access code... but I am afraid that you are in... so I'm going to enter the door now, if you are doing something that is not suitable for adolescent girls to witness, please be sure to give me a cue of 'stand in the yard and wait', thank you for your cooperation, I will count down to ten, ten, nine..."

Yijiyuan pressed the call button and said indifferently, "Stand in the yard and wait."

Gongxian responded obediently: "Of order."

Call disconnected.

Ci Lang was anxious: "If you say that, she will think we are doing something strange!"

Yijiyuan's expression was innocent and upright: "Didn't you want to fxxx me?"

Ahhhhhhh this bad cat!Cirou was mad in his heart.

Until they put on their kimonos, got into the car, and were about to leave for the Ijuin family's cemetery, Jirou's ears were beautifully red.

Gongxian came here in her car in the morning, and now she got into their car, because she had to pick up Granny Fengzao and Mr. Ayanokoji on the way, so the driver drove an extended Maybach today.

Jiro tried to explain to Yuzuru: "...In short, it's not what you think, we just need time to change into kimonos."

He and Kazuomi are wearing the same Monfuhaori hakama with the Ijuin family crest embroidered on it.Cilang's piece was done by Yijiyuan before Cilang went to the Yijiyuan family cemetery with Kazumi for the first time at the autumnal equinox last year.

And the bow string in front of him is wearing an unmarried woman's dress with big sleeves. Although the overall color is plain, it is much more gorgeous than the men's patterned haori hakama whose main body is black. It is also embroidered with the Ijuin family crest.

Gongxian smiled softly and ladylikely, bowed slightly and said: "You don't need to explain, our teacher said that it is a good thing for parents to have sweet feelings."

He forgot that it was also a cat, though only a kitten.

Cirou gave up, didn't want to look at the cat, but looked at the roof of the car.

The car drove into Ayanokoji Hospital, because Mr. Ayanokoji was hospitalized. As the director of Ayanokoji Hospital, of course he was seeing a doctor in his own hospital. Granny Fengzao had been taking care of him. Cirou was grateful for Granny Fengzao's care of Kazumi for many years. Moreover, both of them like Cilang very much, so Cilang would come to visit every other day or two, and he was no stranger to this place.

A bodyguard notified in advance that Mr. Ayanokouji and Mrs. Fuzaya were already waiting downstairs in the inpatient building, and their eldest son, the current Dean Ayanokouji, was supporting his father.

Both Cilang and Yijiyuan got out of the car, and Gong Xian naturally got out of the car too.

Dean Ayanokōji bowed to Yijuin first, and said respectfully: "Long time no see, Yijiin-san. Today, my parents and the head of the family went to pay homage to my aunt, thank you for your permission. My father is still in poor health, please forgive me. Please take care of one or two."

"Where," Yijiyuan responded indifferently, "Fengzao and Mr. Lingxiaolu are extremely important relatives to my grandmother, that is, my relatives. You are also my elders, so there is no need to be so polite. Go out with the elders, I'm supposed to take care of it, so don't worry."

Dean Ayanokōji was obviously relieved and smiled.

After they finished being polite, Cilang smiled to Granny Fengzao and Mr. Lingkouji: "Good morning, you look very energetic today!"

He wasn't being polite, Mr. Yankouji was indeed much more energetic than Cirou when he visited the ward two or three days ago, and his condition seemed to have improved a lot.

Granny Fengzao and Mr. Lingxiaolu looked at each other and smiled, then Granny Fengzao covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Of course Kota-san is energetic today, because I have to see my sister."

Mr. Ayanokōji blinked: "Is Saori-san jealous?"

"Who knows~" Fengzao's mother-in-law answered mysteriously.

Gongxian reminded in a rather soft tone: "Let's get in the car, I think Mr. Ayanokōji is not suitable for standing for a long time."

This is indeed the case, Cirou handed over to Dean Lingkouji, and helped Mr. Lingkouji get into the car.

When Mr. Lingkouji and Granny Fengzao were seated and Cirou helped to close the car door, he heard Mr. Lingkouji and Granny Fengzao talking in a low voice, "It doesn't look like it", "Yeah, it doesn't look like it".

What is it like?

Ci Lang was a little puzzled, but he didn't care to gossip about other people's whispers, and shook his head to forget about it.

He returned to his seat, closed the car door, and his eyes fell on Gongxian obliquely in front of him, and suddenly remembered that Gongxian looked very much like Yijiin's grandmother.The two elders will feel very complicated when they see her, right?But this is not easy to ask.

Thinking of these entanglements, Cilang began to feel sad before he arrived at the cemetery.

The car was driving, not only did not go out of the capital, but approached the traditional upper-class area.

Because the cemetery of the Yijiyuan family is in their ancestral home.

In the era of Yijiyuan’s great-grandfather and before, the ancestral house in this area was the place where the owner of Yijiyuan lived. At that time, the location of the Yijiyuan mansion was not as good as this lot, and it was just bought as an investment.

Until the grandfather of Yijiyuan, who was in charge of the house, thought that the location where the Yijiyuan mansion is located would quickly become prosperous, so he tried his best to renovate the mansion and moved there.

As a result, the ancestral home was vacant.This area is getting more and more declining, but it is still a traditional upper-class area. The real estate here means status, and it will not be sold easily.

The grandfather of Yijiyuan believed that if the descendants fell to the point of selling their ancestral property, they would not have the leeway to worship their ancestors, and even if they fell down, the descendants would make a comeback one day, it would be due to their personal ability, not the blessings of their ancestors.Therefore, he flattened the main house of the ancestral house, cleared half of the area, and directly buried his parents here. Because of the large area, he stipulated that it will be used as a family cemetery in the future.

According to Yijuin, in fact, the more direct reason is: Ijuin's grandfather didn't like chanting, pujas and worship dances, so he hated going to the cemetery very much.

When he heard it for the first time, Cilang was dumbfounded.

In order not to go to the cemetery, the main house of the ancestral house was bulldozed to build a cemetery.

Yijiyuan's grandfather was more willful than Kazumi.

At that time Cilang thought: "The neighbors won't have any objections?"

Yijiyuan said indifferently: "Neighbors who are not in decline have all moved, and those in decline have sold their houses to upstarts. They can't wait to come and burn incense. Who has any objections?"

too real.

Cilang felt the class gap, so he stopped asking.

In fact, after seeing the ancestral house of Yijuin last year, Cilang felt more deeply about the class gap.

The ancestral house of Yijiyuan is surrounded by tall walls, and the area enclosed is enough to build several basketball courts.

The whole can be roughly divided into three parts: front, middle and back. The front is the parking area and the original servants’ housing; the middle used to be the main house complex, which is now the family cemetery; the rear is a Japanese garden that is larger than an ordinary park.

Such a large area of ​​the garden can actually be used as a cemetery, but the reason why the grandfather of Ijiin flattened the main house was because he did not want to destroy the Japanese garden built by the master.

While being shocked last year, Jiro took a lot of photos of the overly beautiful garden, and couldn't resist posting two of them on [伊居园陈]'s ins. As a result, many garden lovers were attracted, and they recognized that this is a historical garden There are only a handful of well-preserved gardens created by a famous master. Netizens quickly wentssip about it to Yijiyuan's house, and Cilang quickly deleted it.

But since then, the gossip that teacher [Yijiyuan Qing]’s husband might be a high-level executive of the Yijiyuan consortium spread more and more widely on the Internet, making Cilang more careful and never dared to post photos indiscriminately.

The road outside the car has widened, but the traffic flow has decreased significantly. All the cars passing by are luxury cars. This is the old-style mansion area where the ancestral house is located.

The ancestral house usually only has a few patrolling security guards. Today, the ancestor worship, bodyguards and necessary users have already come to prepare.The car drove into the gate smoothly, and there was already a car parked in the parking area, which was taken by Yijiyuan's parents and elder brother.

Enter along the stepping steps from the parking area, in front of it is the former servants’ house, which has been repaired and rebuilt, and the wooden big house in front of it is quite a luxurious and decent residence outside, and it is now used as a resting place when worshiping ancestors.

In the big wooden house, the former Patriarch of Yijiyuan and his wife and children were already waiting for the Patriarch to arrive.They had to wait for the Patriarch to finish worshiping before they could go to worship.

When Ijiin Kazumi entered the big house, his parents and eldest brother kept sitting upright, bowed their heads, and saluted the current head of the family.

Yijiin Kazumi didn't stay, didn't even say a word of greeting, but just led his people through the big wooden house.

According to etiquette, Ijuin and his ministers are the heads of the family, so there is no problem in doing so. However, seeing Mochizuki Jirou and Ayanokōji couple passing by his eyes and worshiping before him, Ijuin Shinichiro still gritted his teeth in displeasure.He still can't accept that his younger brother regards these people as family members and treats the real family members coldly. However, as the head of the family, Ijuin Kazumi has become independent from his parents and eldest brother, and has the right to say what he says. No matter how angry Ijuin Shinichiro is, he can only I can bow my head and wait.Mrs. Yijiyuan has been haggard a lot recently, and she doesn't seem to be as well-dressed as before. Her words and deeds reveal a sense of depression. At this moment, she hangs her head absent-mindedly, and she doesn't know what she is thinking.The former Patriarch of Yijiyuan was still expressionless.

Along the way, there were servants kneeling by the door, opening the paper door ahead of time to match their speed.Even though it was the second time he had seen it, Cilang still felt that the sense of ritual was exaggerated like a Dahe drama.

The place where the original ancestral house complex was located is now a huge flat land covered with green grass. The most conspicuous one in the middle is the tomb of the great-grandmother of Yijiyuan, the foreign lady.

Beside her tomb, there is an ordinary-sized tombstone. When Jiro visited for the first time last year, he thought it was the tomb of Ijuin’s great-grandfather. However, it was the tomb of Ijiin’s great-grandmother’s beloved cat, a Persian cat named [Yukiko].

Yijiyuan's great-grandfather's tomb is far away in the corner of the flat ground, and the tombstone is not as big as [Xuezi].

This arrangement of the cemetery gave Cilang a deeper understanding of the ways in which Yijiin's grandfather went his own way.

He regretted not being able to meet Yijiin's grandfather.

Cilang had shown Yijuin's paintings, and in his mind, the foreign lady was a cheetah, Yijuin's grandfather was a leopard cat, and Yijuin's grandmother was a gentle cherry blossom.

Not far from the tombstone of Yijiyuan's great-grandmother is the joint burial tomb of Yijiyuan's grandfather and grandmother.

Strangely, Cilang noticed that beside the tombstone of Yijiyuan's grandmother, there were two more normal-sized tombstones without characters than when he came last year.

Could it be that Grandma Yijiyuan had some kind of long-lived pet that died recently?

Because of the serious atmosphere and the progress of the worship process, Cilang was only puzzled in his mind and didn't ask any questions.

He and his mother-in-law Fengzao supported Mr. Lingxiaolu and helped him complete the worship.

It wasn't until the end of the worship, after leaving the ancestral house, and sending Mr. Lingkouji and Mrs. Fengzao back to Lingxiaoji Hospital, that Cilang asked Yijiyuan: "Why are there two more tombstones next to the grandmother's tomb?"

Ijuin looked at him without saying a word.

"Why not..." Ci Lang didn't finish speaking, looking at Yiji Yuan's black eyes like crow feathers, he choked up for a moment.

It was the tombstone prepared for Granny Kazasa and Mr. Ayanokōji.

The fact that Mr. Ayanokoji is so energetic today is not because his condition has improved, but because he has returned to light.

He should have thought of it earlier, maybe he was unwilling to accept it, so he deceived himself.

How deep is the emotion that made the two of them willing to be buried next to the grandmother of Yijiyuan?

Yijiyuan took Cilang into his arms and comforted him: "Don't be sad."

Jirou silently leaned on Ijuin's shoulder.

Life and death are too heavy.

Love like moths to a flame, even worse.

He held Ijuin's forearm tightly, as if he would disappear if he let go.

The car drove to the Ijuin mansion, and Gongxian wanted to take advantage of the fact that there was no one in the mansion (Ijuin Shinichiro's current wife was waiting to give birth in the Ijuin hospital, and the others were still in the ancestral house), and packed up some salutes that he hadn't taken away before.

She seemed determined never to return to the mansion.

Neither Cilang nor Yijiyuan got out of the car, they just sat in the car and waited. Yijiyuan bowed his head and kissed Cilang.

He looked out of the car window and noticed the spotlights hidden among the grass and trees. Although it was daytime, they were not on. Cilang recalled the experience of staying overnight in the mansion, and he still felt very strange. He asked: "The house is not a gymnasium, why? There are so many decorative lights on the outer wall, and there are spotlights?"

It's a home, but it looks like an expensive display model.

Could it be the different preferences of wealthy families?

"Isn't this like a dollhouse?" Ijuin said lazily.

"It's strange because of the resemblance." Cilang thought of the overly plastic family relationship in the mansion, and felt that Kazuomi's use of a toy house as a metaphor was extremely apt.

Yijuin still lazily said: "Isn't it just right to make the dollhouse look like a dollhouse?"

?What is this saying?

Wait, Cilang was surprised: "So, these lamps were actually installed by you?"

Yijuin did not deny it.

Cilang didn't know what to say. He thought of Yijiyuan's grandfather's willful behavior. Compared with Yijiyuan's grandfather's flattening of the ancestral house and building the cemetery, it was nothing worth mentioning.But it doesn't seem right to leave it alone.

Cilang thought about it, and finally said: "In this case, if the people who live in it are illuminated by strong light at night, if they don't like to draw the curtains, they will feel troubled, right?"

Yijuin said indifferently: "Then they can dismantle it."

If it bothers you, remove it.

At first it sounded like a very normal idea, and it wasn't a big deal, but after thinking about the characters of Yijiin's parents and eldest brother, Cilang always felt that these people might be too angry because they thought too much, but they didn't break up. lamp.

Cilang found that he could not feel sympathy for these people, because these people bullied his young ministers and treated them very badly, so even though he was still ashamed of such gloating thoughts, he did not regret it.

He raised his head to kiss the wilting big cat.

Gongxian covered his eyes when he returned to the car: "I didn't see anything."

Ijuin: "Then you should keep your eyes closed."

Bowstring closed his eyes.

Cilang felt that he was gradually tempered by the big cat to have a thick skin, so he wanted to laugh at this moment.

Sending Gongxian back to her apartment, after Gongxian got off the car, Cilang asked: "Going home?"

He was a little tired.

Yijiyuan held Cilang's hand in his hand, raised it to his lips, and kissed lightly: "Accompany me to another place."

Where to go?

The author has something to say: *Evolutionary history of the Yijiyuan cat family: leopard [great-grandmother] → leopard cat [grandfather] → long-disabled tortoiseshell cat [father] → black cat [Hechen] → somewhat "ancestor" caracal cat [bow string ]
