[Comprehensive] Comb girl

Qingguang's letter from California was not long, but he only focused on how worried Ah Ding was.

Ah Ding felt a little angry when he thought of California's indifference to him in the past.

Yamato Mamoru carefully put away the letter, put it in his sleeve, and said to Ah Ding: "Although I don't know what kind of person the master is, there is no doubt that this era is too dangerous for you. Please go back .”

Ah Ding also guessed that Yamato Mamoru would not agree easily.She grabbed the cloth on her knees and said persistently, "I won't go back for the time being. Yamato Mori also knows, right? I'm here to join my brother Suzuki Yoshitaro, and I want to earn money in the city of Kyoto."

Yao Yan on the side supported his head and sighed slightly——Master, you really got into the drama very quickly.It must be because I was used to the boring life in the countryside, and it was the first time I came to a place like Kyoto, and I enjoyed it very much.

Yamato Mamoru showed a slightly troubled expression.Immediately, he closed his eyes and said, "Then please do what you want... But if you encounter danger, I have no time to protect you."

After saying that, he straightened the haori draped over his shoulders and left the room.

Looking at his back, Yao Yan said: "He has really changed a lot, the dark fall has really had a great impact on Yamato Shou'an."

"Really?" Ah Ding blinked, "But I think Yamato Shou'an is a very nice person, and he speaks very politely."

"Because he is very 'polite', so I say that he has changed a lot." Yaken explained, "In the past, Yamato Shou always hoped to be accompanied by a god judge... Sometimes, he would be like a child. My lord, say something childish."

Ah Ding understood a little bit.

In the past, the sword that haunted the god judge all the time suddenly became polite and kept a normal distance. It means that he no longer has hope for the god judge.

Speaking of "childishness", Ah Ding suddenly thought that California Qingguang also had a childlike feeling.I don't know if the characters of California and Yamato Mori are influenced by Okita Souji's character?

***

After Ah Ding returned the plate, it was already dark.This place is no different than Honmaru. The woman staying overnight does not have the treatment of taking a hot bath every day, so she can only wash her body with cold water.After getting everything in order, Ah Ding fell asleep.

In the dark corridor, a smiling Qing Jiang quietly revealed his figure.

He tilted his head, looking at the tightly closed door, as if he was waiting for someone.

Before Ah Ding fell asleep, Qing Jiang had already discussed with Yao Yan.Yaoken is in charge of guarding the outside, while he himself is in charge of the lord's surroundings.Such painstaking efforts were not in vain, the "something" he expected appeared——

Half an hour later, the sound of night clappers sounded slowly.With a creak, the door was pushed open.A Dingfu, who was supposed to be sound asleep, got up again and walked out.

She lowered her head and stroked her hair slowly with a comb.The black hair fell on her fingertips, extremely lingering.

After noticing the smiling face Qingjiang's gaze, Ah Ding slowly raised his head, and asked softly: "...Do you want to comb your hair? Master."

The moonlight covered by the clouds quietly revealed at this moment, illuminating her gorgeous outline.Slightly pursed lips, as if stained with flower juice, are tempting to taste.

However, Qing Jiang was not fooled by her.

Not only that, but the next moment, there was the piercing sound of Wakizawa unsheathing next to her ears.Immediately, the blade gleaming with silver hairs lay in front of her.As long as the stab is an inch forward, it will cut into her skin.

Looking at the blade in front of him, Ah Ding was stunned.

——A man who was not seduced by her, but turned to her with a knife, is really rare.

Smiling Qingjiang moved his wrist slightly, and moved the blade down an inch: "The current lord looks completely different from usual. I heard the rumor in California that the lord will change his appearance at night, but I didn't expect it to be true. of."

Ah Ding tilted her head and said, "Do you want to kill me? Qingjiang." After that, she took a step forward and reached out to touch Qingjiangliu's long green hair.

Because she took the initiative to step forward, the blade pierced straight through her clothes and pierced into the skin, and the dark red blood quickly oozed out.

Seeing the blood, Qing Jiang was stunned with a smiling face.This also allowed Ah Ding to touch his hair and twist it lightly with his fingertips.

"Are you going to kill me?" Ah Ding asked again.

"..."

Smiling Qingjiang put down the weapon in his hand.

—Of course he will kill the ghosts, but not now.

"Compared to killing the lord, I want the lord to enjoy some pleasant things now." Qing Jiang laughed, pulled his hair out of A Ding's fingertips, and asked in a low voice, "The lord knows that he came here alone in the middle of the night. See what happens to me?"

"I don't know." A Ding didn't care about his wound at all, put his arms around his neck, and replied softly, "Can you tell me?"

Qing Jiang lifted her cheek, kissed her earlobe lightly, and said, "I will take the master's body away."

Qing Jiang thought very openly.

Spend a pleasant night with the lord first, and then get rid of the ghosts, neither of these two things will be delayed.

And, he is really curious about one thing, he must confirm——

Is the lord of the day and the lord of the night the same person?

***

When Ah Ding woke up the next day, he was woken up by the pain—there was a cut on his shoulder, and even though the scab had formed, it was still hurting faintly, which looked weird.Ah Ding is very sensitive to pain, this small injury is enough to make her distressed.

I don't know how bad her sleeping appearance is that she was injured in the dream.

Yaoyan inquired and came back to take a look at her wound.Because the location was below the collarbone, Yaoyan didn't dare to look at it, and just applied the medicine hastily.But at a glance, he felt a little strange - this wound was more like a sharp instrument such as scissors.

After hesitant to speak for a while, Yao Yan reminded: "My lord, remember to take away the sharp objects before going to bed."

"Of course." Ah Ding touched the wound, "I'm not that stupid."

Yao Yan didn't speak, but said in his heart: This is not necessarily the case.Didn't California say that?Your lord is super stupid.

The morning at Nishi Honganji Temple was very lively. Members of the Shinsengumi lined up in the vestibule, preparing to go on patrol.They are all samurai wearing feathers and holding swords. When they stand together, they look majestic, just like the northern samurai in the story.Someone was practicing sword skills, and the sound of the bamboo knife hitting was crisp and clear; someone was fetching water from the well, splashing the cold water all over the cracks in the bricks.

After tidying up the room, Ah Ding hugged the changed clothes and walked towards the well while staring at the team members curiously.

"Ah, look at that, that's Suzuki's younger sister..."

"It's to save the dowry and come to Kyoto to earn money."

"Look, look, look..."

A rather rare beauty passed in front of her without looking in vain.A group of big men stretched their necks, looking around hard.Taking advantage of the captain's absence, a few brave people even approached Ah Ding and asked her some weird questions.

"Want to be my woman? I'll find you a house to live in."

"Stop joking, Jingcun, how could she like you!"

"It's no big deal to ask, anyway, I'm still a young master."

Ah Ding backed away a little shyly, and said, "You should ask your brother about this kind of thing."

She is no longer a lowly slave, but a free person. Things like "getting married" will no longer be decided casually by the master, Ah Ding is very happy in his heart-although, this is only a temporary status.

As soon as Ah Ding spoke, the team members burst into laughter: "Let me tell you something again? This Tango's accent..."

Ah Ding was a little anxious, and the more anxious she was, the more obvious her Tango accent became: "I also want to speak Kyoto dialect!"

The men laughed roughly.

At this moment, the captain of the first team, Souji Okita, came over.He clapped his hands and asked, "What are you laughing at? This look of disorder."

The warriors fell silent for a moment.

"It's Captain Okita..."

"Shh."

The general manager had a smile on his face and an approachable look.He was probably in his early 20s, very young, and he stood out among the warriors.Perhaps because of his young age, there is still a childish look in his eyebrows and eyes.

A Ding glanced at him, a little understanding of who influenced California and Yamato Mori's personalities.

"Don't make fun of the girls." After the director finished speaking to the team members, he found that Ah Ding was looking at him, so he comforted her: "Tango's words... are also very cute. Not all of the people here are from Kyoto. Some from Tama's side, and some were recruited from the countryside around Edo. That's just a joke, don't be sad."

In this way, Ah Ding has enough confidence.

We are all country people, who can laugh at whom!

***

According to the agreement, Ah Ding can only stay in the village of Nishi Honganji for one night, and today he will go door to door to find a job.When she went back to pack her luggage, her brother Yoshitaro Suzuki called her over.

"Ah Ding, have you met our chief?" Fangtaro asked.

"Not yet." Ah Ding shook his head.

"Here comes the Shinsengumi, so you have to say hello to the director no matter what." Yoshitaro said, "It's almost time for lunch, you go and tell the servant who delivers the food, and say that the director will let you take care of the lunch." deliver."

"Eh, me, me?" Ah Ding was at a loss.

But Yoshitaro Suzuki is an older brother after all, and she cannot refuse his brother's order.Ah Ding stepped out of the room in some confusion, but he always felt something was wrong in his heart.

Although I can't say why, but asking my sister to deliver food to the director's room... feels weird.

Ah Ding went to the kitchen and asked about delivering food to the chief.Several servants saw her taking the initiative to do the work, and they readily handed over the work.Ah Ding walked out of the kitchen with a few dishes in his hands.

When she was approaching Isamu Kondo's room, she bumped into two men head-on, one of whom was Okita.Ah Ding remembered that he was a very good-tempered person, so she nervously stopped Okita and asked, "Master Okita...can you do me a favor?"

She was a little apprehensive, because Okita was a formidable samurai after all.

"What's wrong?" Okita asked.

"Boss, let's go." Hijikata Toshizo who was beside Okita urged impatiently.A Ding glanced at him timidly, and found that he was a samurai with a serious expression and a gloomy expression, and he looked difficult to get along with.

"Brother asked me to deliver meals to the chief, but I didn't dare to go. Can you please Mr. Okita...knock on the door for me?" A Ding said.

Even if Suzuki Yoshitaro had some intentions—such as asking her to be a concubine—as long as Okita and Hijikata were around, Yoshitaro’s ideas would not be likely to succeed.

Okita readily agreed.

He went up and knocked on the door, only to find that Kondo was not there.

"Ah, he's not here, he seems to be very busy today." Okita smiled and said, "Just put the lunch on the ground by the door, the director will see it when he comes back."

Ah Ding took a deep breath, and quickly thanked you: "Thank you so much, you helped me a lot."

Hearing her soft voice, Okita suddenly had a weird expression, as if he wanted to laugh but couldn't hold it back.After a while, he said, "That... can you say it again? How about 'a big favor'?"

"A big favor..." Ah Ding repeated in a daze.

Souji Okita suddenly laughed: "This... this Tango accent... is very cute..." He even burst into tears.Hijikata Toshizo beside him was also trying to hide his slightly raised lips.

Only then did Ah Ding realize that Okita was laughing at her country accent.

She was a little puffed up again.

The person who said "Don't make fun of girls" in the morning started laughing at her accent at noon!
