[Gintama] Calm down, find a time machine

The sound of continuous explosions in Himeji Castle swarmed in one after another. Atz and I were still a step slower when we finally escaped from the basement. We failed to escape from the place of knowing what was wrong, and were thrown several meters away by the heat wave.At the critical moment behind me, Atz blocked the stone particles and the high temperature heat wave produced by the explosion behind me.

When I woke up from my frustration, Atz, who was lying next to me, had already passed out.There was an almost bloody wound on the back, with sticky blood.My heart is so restless that tens of thousands of ants are biting my heart.

I wanted to prop up his body, but my right arm was injured and hurt like hell. It must be the wrong way to touch the ground just now, and it was extremely difficult to even move my fingers on the whole arm.

Scattered celestial beings and miserable cries continued continuously.

"Hey, Cabbage—!" The voice called me, and Takasugi and Gintoki rushed towards me, and Sakamoto supported Katsura who was limping with a scratched ankle and a sprained ankle that also fell to the ground.

Looking up at Takasugi who was standing behind me, he put both hands under my armpits and pulled me up.I just stood up and my legs were weak. Fortunately, I was pulled by Takasugi so that I didn't immediately fall to the ground, but the way he pulled me was very rude, just grabbing my back collar.

Yinshi squatted down, made Aci turn around and lie on the ground, put his hand in front of Aci's nose and tested it for a while, then moved to the neck artery, accompanied by a relieved sigh, Yinshi Shi Shi turned around and put Az on his back and stood up hard: "Go back quickly, I still have some breath, and I should be saved!"

These words seemed to have ignited my meager flame of hope, so I hurried to catch up, raised my left hand and tightly grasped Atz's hand.At the same time, I saw that Az was slowly opening his eyes. The blood in his eyes made me a little unbearable. There was a little dust on his face, but it still did not hinder his delicate velvet claws, and he slowly put on a smile .

"Fortunately...it's not you."

As if he was happy from the bottom of his heart, Az said this sentence in an extremely hoarse voice... But I was stunned as if I had been struck by an electric shock, my eyes were shocked and unbelievable.

As my gaze moved down slowly, I saw Aci on Yinshi's back walking along the road, and there were bloodstains constantly on the ground.My pupils dilated, and I unconsciously wanted to open my mouth to speak, but my voice seemed to be trapped in my throat and I couldn't utter a single word, and my eyes became more moist because of choking.

"Don't talk nonsense," Yinshi said suddenly, "Az, you have to stop! You can go back soon, and then you will be saved!"

"Hehe..." There was a bleak laugh, with a little despair, and after a while, there was a burst of "haha" laughter, but this time it was replaced by Shi Ran, and said in a hoarse voice: "Of course I know about my situation." ... Bacai, promise me one thing... You, you are not suitable for the battlefield, you should leave the battlefield... You, understand what I mean. In this way, it is also... meaningless to continue fighting Gintoki too, Yasai... yes, Sakamoto too, Taka, Takasugi... too! Katsura too!"

He took a deep breath and looked at Aci's almost incoherent appearance. Now he is not at all the same as the man who hugged me under the cold moon and promised to give me a home!So thin, so fragile, like a wisp of green smoke that is about to disappear.

Suddenly her eyes widened, and her delicate face became extraordinarily ferocious.

I squeezed out Aci's name from my hoarse voice, and what I saw in front of me was indeed Aci suddenly opened his mouth and coughed fiercely, and a large amount of blood sprayed on the silver and white battle suit, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Aci! Aci, hold back, we'll be here soon...you hold on!" Yinshi's voice had already turned into tears, and the hand of Aci that I was holding was long gone. It turned out to be so hot, and the temperature slowly dropped.

Yinshi's steps were getting faster and faster, and I followed closely behind, holding Aci's hand even harder: "Liar!" Tears slid down his cheeks and slowly dripped down his chin: "Didn't you say Okay... Didn't you say you want to give me a home? Now? Do you want to go back on your word, Az! If I had known, I would not have promised you to come with me. If I had known, I would have gone alone! In this way, there will be no unnecessary sacrifices!"

When I said "Destination", I didn't pay attention to Yinshi's expression at this time.

"Bacai..." He frowned in pain, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Promise me to leave the battlefield, okay? You are not suitable... here!"

"Is there anything suitable...well, don't talk nonsense now. Just be patient!" I looked up at Yin Shi: "Let's go quickly, Az won't die, So hurry up!" But at this moment, I found that Yinshi's pace was getting slower and slower, and finally stopped slowly.

Her heart seemed to be kneaded into a ball, and she walked around in front of Yinshi, almost roaring: "Why did you stop, go quickly! Otherwise..."

Before I finished my words, Yinshi raised his hand and rubbed my hair gently, with a smile that seemed to be pulled out of his mouth: "He has already left."

The whole world is silent.

Slowly lowering my head, I looked at Aci with what seemed to be a "happy smile", leaning weakly on Yinshi's shoulder, and the hand that I held tightly just now also drooped down.

There were long bloodstains on the ground along the way.

In the sky, faint crows are wandering.

The gloomy sky, the distance between heaven and earth seems very close...

***

After the red and white machine was turned on, he pressed the down button with his finger, watched the catalog turn page by page, and finally stopped on a Super Mario game.Awkwardly, he pressed "OK" with the same hand on the other side, followed by a burst of familiar accompaniment music.

The plumber in the red suit with the cap makes a funny pop every time he jumps up.I turned up the volume to the maximum, with a piece of freshly baked steamed bun in my mouth, pressing the up, down, left, right, and A and B keys with my left hand.But obviously, it is very difficult to control the red and white machine with one hand. After a while, I ended up with a "dang dang dang" cheating BGM.

With a displeased expression on my face, I threw the red and white machine aside, lay on the bunk and looked at the ceiling.

——You are not suitable for the battlefield, you leave the battlefield, you also understand what I mean.It's pointless to fight like this.Gintoki is too, so is Bacai, so is Sakamoto, so is Takasugi, and so is Katsura!

I still remember what Azi said to me, but I didn't listen to him, but I was still in the barracks at this time.

leave?How is it possible, how could I leave them alone and just leave?

With a sneer, I turned sideways and accidentally pressed my right shoulder, which made me grin my teeth in pain.

"Are you really okay?" After changing her clothes, Yingzi got into it, and I turned to look at me.I calmly turned my back to Sakurako, and then stared blankly at the lights in front of me. In my mind, everything that happened in Himeji Castle during the day will be released infinitely in my mind, and my left fist is slowly clenched and trembling.

Hearing my answer like this, it was obvious that Sakurako couldn't say anything else.

The situation in the tent became very embarrassing, but my mind was blank at this time, belonging to the state of infinite emptiness.

"That...Bacai, Bacai? Are you asleep?"

In the end it was Yingzi who broke the embarrassment, and I still responded calmly and perfunctorily.There was a sound from behind, followed by a violent and clear sound and pain from the head.I yelled "Aw!", sat up suddenly and looked at Yingzi and roared annoyedly: "What the hell are you trying to do, I want to sleep, bastard!"

Under my rude roar, I found Yingzi's slightly sad expression. Only then did I realize how excessive my behavior was just now. I lowered my head weakly and pursed my mouth: "Uh, that... I'm sorry, I'm in a mess right now. Is it because you can't sleep with the candles on? I'll turn off the lights..." As I spoke, I propped myself up awkwardly with my left arm and moved to the side of the candle, just as I was about to blow it. There was someone behind me He grabbed my collar and pulled me over abruptly.

I fell heavily on the pavement, and my shoulders hurt from the shock.

"Cry if you want to cry, I cried too, you should cry even more." I said a word without thinking, I stared in surprise and the corners of my mouth twitched slightly: "Hey, I said...you just What do you want to express? Why are you crying or not, please calm down!"

"It's not fun to play dumb with me, Qinghe Bacai! I've heard about it..." I raised my hand and hugged me rudely into her arms. , listening to her comfort in a soft voice: "I know the disillusionment of your dreams, and I also know how desperate you are now. I know that Quanji is dead...I cried too, but I saw that you tried to hide it for me. This secret, although I believe like a fool that Quanji will come back."

I looked up at Yingzi whose face was covered with tears unknowingly at this time, and the corner of my mouth twitched: "How do you know that Quanji is dead?"

"I'm sorry, I heard what you and Atz said that night. I also heard her promise to you, so please don't hide it from me anymore." Tears slipped away, but there was a smile on the corner of the mouth, A forced smile: "Bacai, why do you keep everything to yourself? Isn't it better to say it? Let me ask you, do you like Yinshi very much? Why can't you just tell him about anything? Woolen cloth?"

"I'm too lazy to move my mouth." Looking at the sky with blank eyes, on the one hand, she despises Yingzi's naive thoughts, on the other hand, she also wants to work hard... Let the tears flow back as soon as possible.Otherwise, it’s like what the Fourth Master said in Hunan Satellite TV’s "Gong Suo Xin Yu": When you want to cry, look up at the sky, so that the tears will not fall.

But apparently, that guy was lying to me.

What about Yinshi?How to say?While throwing himself into his arms, the pear blossoms rained, "Nissan~~Az is dead, and I have no one to rely on, so lend me your shoulder~~~"... Is that so?Fuck me, what do you think of me.At the beginning, I was the one who said "break up" with Yinshi Sakata, but now I ran to cry with tears in my eyes?How stupid am I to keep doing such unreasonable things? !

But I will never (!) say those words to Sakurako.

That's fine.

This incident also made me understand that I can't rely on others for the rest of my life. I must learn to stand alone, walk alone, and fight alone.

I heard someone say it before: Although one person walks fast, there is absolutely no way that two people can walk far.

I would like to be two, but if I must be alone now, I will never stand still alone-even if I can't go far.
