[Comprehensive] Comb girl

From this day on, California Qingguang's attitude towards Ah Ding has improved a lot.Although there are occasional quarrels and sulking for no reason, at least I won't say "you go to do housework" and other angry words.

The relationship between Ah Ding and California has gradually become closer.

Although they are close, Ah Ding knows that there is one person who must never be mentioned in front of Qingguang in California, and that is Yamato Shou'an.No matter how happy California was in the previous moment, as soon as Ah Ding accidentally mentioned this name, California would darken his face and say dryly, "It has nothing to do with you."

There are too many times, and Ah Ding is a little worried.

When Sanriyue came to teach reading, Ah Ding tugged on Sanriyue's cuff and asked, "Sankaiyue Palace, what's going on between Lord California and that Yamato Mori?"

Sanri Yuezong held the teacup near him, the smoke was thick, and his eyes were filled with a hazy smile. "Are you curious about this?" Mikayue put down the teacup and said, "Yamato Shou Anding and California Kiyomitsu once had a common master, who seems to be a samurai named 'Okita Souji'. Yamato Shou is right about that Mr. Okita misses it a bit, so the former lord let him go back to that Mr. Okita."

Ah Ding didn't know who "Shoji Okita" was, but she thought it was a good thing.

"Isn't it good? Go back to the side of the missing master." Ading held his cheek and said doubtfully, "Is this a very happy thing? Why do adults in California always look unhappy?"

"Ah, well, hahahaha..." Sanri Yuezong laughed gently, with a helpless pampering in his laughter.

Although he didn't say anything, Ah Ding felt that he asked a very stupid question; because San Riyue's appearance at this moment was like facing an ignorant and fearless child, both helpless and funny.

"Mr. Okita passed away due to illness before turning thirty. Yamato Mori returned to his side, and he could not always guard him, because the fate of 'death' cannot be changed. All Yamato Mori can do is While Mr. Okita is alive, I will do my best to fulfill his long-cherished wish."

Win the battles that should have been lost, save those who should have died, and kill the secret agents of the Changzhou clan buried in the group...

"History has been changed just like that." Sankaiyue said casually, "However, everyone living in Honmaru was born to protect history. Instead of protecting history, but wantonly changing history, such fusangshen will be punished That's the so-called 'Dark Fall'."

Ah Ding was confused when he heard it, and asked: "What will happen if you fall into darkness?"

"Well, it's nothing. Breaking away from the contract with the lord, the character gradually changes, and finally loses himself, and even disappears in the world, probably like this." San Riyue said leisurely, "That's why California hates the former lord so much. —— No one will be happy when they think that their best friends will change their personalities drastically and lose themselves."

"Master California, have you never thought about bringing that best friend back to Honmaru?" A Ding asked.

"The former lord did not allow such a thing. What the lord wants to see most is that the fusang gods have disappeared from their madness." San Riyue touched the top of A Ding's hair, "However, California Qingguang also tried I secretly brought Yamato Shou back."

"The results of it?"

"Not only did it fail, California almost lost itself." Mikazuki said, "The temptation to stay in that world is too great—he almost stayed by Mr. Okita's side with Yamato Mori. In the end , I brought him back."

Ah Ding's eyelids moved, and there was a bit of distress in his voice: "Everyone's life is hard. I thought that everyone who had food, hot water and clothes would live a happy life. It turns out that even if you can survive You may not be able to live happily."

"The reason is because of 'greedy'." Sanriyue said.

The smile of the man in front of him was really gentle and touching.A Ding looked at his smile secretly, and had a strange question in his heart: "Sanriyue Palace...is there anything 'greedy'?"

"Yes." Sanriyue nodded and said, "I still want to know the name of the lord."

"It's 'ding'." Ah Ding was a little annoyed, "I really don't have a last name."

"It doesn't have to be your real name—" San Riyue leaned close to her ear and said softly, "it should be your most important name that has been called by the most people; a name that symbolizes your whole life."

His voice seemed to have magical powers, making strange things vaguely appear in Ah Ding's mind.

"A long, long time ago, there was a kind of ghost that used the name of combing its hair to lure men who came home late to have sex overnight. The men who were seduced would become tranced and depressed all day long..."

"It is said that it was transformed by the ghost betrayed by a heartless man, and he has been reluctant to leave the world for a long time..."

"Who knows what she was called before she was alive? But everyone in Tango said that that kind of ghost is called..."

"Called..."

"Kuji."

These voices only appeared for a moment, and then quietly disappeared from Ah Ding's mind.She rubbed her brows and said, "Even if Sanriyuedian said so, I wouldn't come up with a new name out of thin air."

Sanri Yuezong only smiled and did not answer.

This day passed like this.

***

At night, after Ah Ding fell asleep, he opened his eyes again.As before, she walked out of the room slowly with silent steps.The drooping cuffs concealed the comb that she held tightly in her hand and never left her body.

The hem of the clothes dragged on the floor, making a soft whirling sound.

When the voice passed outside Candlestick's door, the already asleep Candlestick suddenly thought of something, got up in a hurry, and pushed open the door.

"Lord……?"

The woman on the porch stopped and glanced at him.Then, the corners of her lips curved, revealing a sweet smile: "Do you want to comb your hair? Master."

These words were like a spell, bringing Candlestick's vivid memories back to the night when he first met the Lord.He chuckled, stepped forward to hold Ah Ding's hand, and said in a low voice, "Please come to my room."

The skirt skirt dragged by the woman circled around on the ground before heading towards his room.

"I thought the lord no longer remembered me." Candlestick cut said.

Ah Ding stepped into the man's room.After the door was closed, she hugged the man's tall body tightly from behind, and buried her soft face on his back.Immediately, Candlestick Che heard her murmuring voice.

"I can't admit this kind of thing in front of others..."

This explanation, which is not an explanation, made Zhu Keqie feel happy.He took the palm of the lord's hand, kissed it lightly, and said, "Then please leave me tonight."

After a while, Candlestick cut asked again: "Will the lord come to see me again?" He grabbed the woman's finger and kissed it quickly.

The woman in his arms raised her head and smiled silently, her voice soft: "Probably in three days...?"

At this moment, Candlestick Che seemed to hear footsteps leaving in the corridor.He frowned and listened carefully, but couldn't hear anything.

Was someone outside his room just now?

Probably an illusion.

***

Ah Ding had another upside-down and tender dream.

This dream was even more heart-pounding. When she woke up, she could only hold her flushed, tomato-like cheeks in a daze. The scorching heat on her face almost burned her fingers.

...How could you have such a dream?

California Qingguang came to wake her up, saw her sluggish appearance, and wondered for a while: "What's going on? That look."

Ah Ding didn't dare to say more, and immediately got up and tidied up the room.After finishing everything, she sat in the room obediently and waited for Sanriyue to teach today.

If I remember correctly, today is also the day for forging knives.

She felt that the appearance of kneeling and sitting in the room like this was like a concubine's room waiting for the master's blessing, and it was a bit shy.

While thinking about this, a few small furry animals suddenly flew past her door—maybe cats, maybe something else, but they were very lively.Seeing Ah Ding, he couldn't help but chased outside.

"Did a cat run over just now?"

"It's the cub from the Five Tigers, right?" California Qingguang replied.

Ah Ding took a few more steps towards the courtyard, but unfortunately, the shadows of those small animals had disappeared.When she was feeling pity in her heart, she accidentally caught a glimpse of a figure in the corner of the opposite corridor, which seemed to turn around.

Even though it was just an ordinary figure, she felt that that guy seemed to have some kind of contract with her.In short, it attracted her attention and gave her the idea of ​​"I want to meet this person".

"Master, what are you looking at?" San Riyue's voice sounded from behind.

"Ah... Sanriyue Palace." Ah Ding hurriedly saluted the handsome sword.She secretly glanced at the corridor where there were no more people, and said, "Is there such a person in Honmaru... who seems to have short water-blue hair and is probably wearing black clothes? It seems to have a cloak..."

A name popped up in Sanriyue's heart.

——It's a one-shot one strike.

"There is no such person." Sanriyue replied, "What's wrong? Why do you ask?"

"...Maybe I misunderstood it." Ah Ding was a little disappointed, "I don't know why, just now, 'I want to meet this person' and 'This person belongs to me' popped up in my mind." Such a strange idea."

- "I want to meet this person".

- "This man is mine".

Sanriyue's smile was a little subtle.

"Ah, this... Hahaha... People do have weird ideas occasionally." San Riyue said, "Don't worry about it. My colleagues even hope that a plate of fried tofu will appear out of thin air in front of them."

Having said that, Ah Ding felt that there was nothing strange about his cranky thinking.

"Are you going to forge a knife today? Sanriyue Palace." Her eyes lit up slightly.

"No. I changed my mind." San Riyue replied with a smile.He opened his eyes slightly, and his voice became more and more gentle, "From today on, the Lord doesn't need to forge swords anymore. It is enough for us to protect you."

For a sword like Yiqi Yizhen, only one is enough.
