winter cloud

Not long after, the Shinsengumi went to Kofu Castle to meet Sa Chang's army as the Jiayang Zhenfu team. Naturally, there was nothing wrong with it, and she couldn't help much anyway, so she just stayed in Edo and read books, waiting Just let them come back.

No matter what Qianhe said, he wanted to go with him, but Kong Yin didn't object.

After all, the two of them are different, and unlike Sora, if Qianzuru goes there, there is something she can do to help, whether it is helping pass orders or taking care of the wounded—in short, there is something she can do.

"Hey, Sora." Qianzuru grabbed Sora's hand and lowered her eyes, "Well, in Edo, you have to wait for me."

Leaving her sister alone like this, Qianhe, the elder sister, couldn't help but feel a little guilty, especially when she thought that Kong Yin would not blame herself at all, and it was impossible for her to even complain.

"Stay here obediently, and you are not allowed to go anywhere else. Also, don't read in a dark room. When you get up in the morning, you must open the windows to ventilate. You are not allowed to skip breakfast. If you feel unwell, you should have a good rest, and... ..."

"Sister." Realizing that it was getting late, Kuyin interrupted Chizuru, and signaled her to pay attention to Mr. Hijikata's impatient expression with his eyes, "Please don't worry."

"I'm not a child anymore." Kong Yin shrugged helplessly.

"Really..." Chizuru sighed, and smiled apologetically at Hijikata who had been waiting for a long time.

Kong Yin showed a rare smile: "Okay, let's go."

Qianhe reluctantly let go of Kongyin's hand, and pursed his lips: "Then, Kongyin should go back too."

Kongyin tilted his head, with an expression of "you go first".

"Quick, go back quickly! I must watch you walk into the house, you bastard, you sneaked into doing bad things without paying attention."

... When has she ever done something bad?But secretly reading books is indeed a lot of doing, but is that a bad thing?

"No, I also want to watch my sister leave."

Seeing that there is no solution at all if this continues, Kong Yin could only spread his hands in a "no solution" look: "In this case, let's go together."

After all, the two turned around at the same time and walked in opposite directions.

Before taking five steps, Qianhe couldn't help but turn around, and Kong Yin was staying almost where he was, looking at him with wide eyes.

He waved his hand at her, signaling her to go back quickly. Seeing that figure gradually go away, he continued to walk forward with confidence.

But——thinking about whether that guy listened to her and went back to the house obediently, Chizuru couldn't help but look back again.Because the distance was farther, Qianhe looked around for a long time before noticing that a dark brown head protruded from behind the pillars in the corridor, eyes with the same hair color were looking at this side from a distance.

Not too far away, two pairs of pupils of the same color looked at each other.

In the next second, Qianhe saw the head move, then looked away, turned and ran to a further place, her vision was only left with the dark brown hair swaying left and right following the master's movements.

Really, do you have to stare at yourself to go back obediently... Qianhe didn't seem to notice how softly the corner of her mouth curled up.

After straightening her clothes, Qianzuru turned around and ran in the direction of Hijikata who had been waiting in front of her.

"Sorry, I can go now."

"Ahem..." Soran raised his arms and covered his mouth and nose with the sleeve of his kimono, but he was still half-choked to death by the flying dust.Originally, she planned to clean up the house before Qianhe and the others came back, so that she and her sister would not have to stay in such a dirty place, but there was more dust than she had imagined.

From this point of view, it will take a lot of effort to completely clean up the whole house.

Forget it, just pass the time.While thinking about this, Soran wrung out the rag and began to carefully wipe the table in the room. The white rag was almost instantly blackened by the dust.

"Hmm..." Kong Yin, who had only watched Qianhe tidying up the room, frowned in confusion, put the rag back into the water, and carefully recalled her sister's actions in memory.

However, it seems that Qianzuru has never had the experience of cleaning such a dirty room.

"Ah, if that's the case..." Sora tone scratched his hair in distress, and picked up the rag to wipe the table again, "That's it..."

So, she can only rely on her intuition to do it.

After half an hour, Kong Yin looked at the neatly arranged table in front of him, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

She raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead: "Isn't this pretty good?"

In any case, as long as it can be wiped clean, it is a success.So what was she struggling with just now?

However, this is just cleaning a table, there are several tables in other rooms, and many things other than the table waiting for her to tidy up, Kongyin smiled helplessly, and tied her hands tightly. The obi of the kimono resignedly picked up the dishcloth.

My sister is still working hard there, and she must not lag behind here.Thinking of this, Sora was full of energy.

Time passed unknowingly while she was tidying up Qianzuru's room, and Soran walked out of the room, ready to go to the entrance to get some air - didn't my father say that too much smoke and dust would affect the health of the body.

She reached out and patted the hem of the kimono, and it was indeed covered with dust from the house. Although Kuono tried her best to avoid it, the small particles flying in the air still sneaked into her mouth and nose, causing her to cough again.

Looking at the sky, it seemed that the sun was about to set, and it was getting late, so Kong Yin pursed his lips and decided to continue working tomorrow.

So, she turned around and walked into the house, intending to tidy up a bit before leaving.However, Kong Yin, who had turned his back just now, heard footsteps coming from the entrance.

Is anyone here yet?It was an unfamiliar voice, Kong Yin had never heard this voice, from before to now.

She glanced at the direction of the backyard, then turned her head, her feet were ready to run.

"Eh?" But when she saw the person coming, she couldn't help but froze, "You are..."

"Huh!" Qianhe suddenly woke up from his sleep, looked around, the decoration was like an ordinary room, and it was somewhat similar to home.She straightened her upper body while supporting the tatami, and found that she was carefully covered with a quilt.

Qianhe blinked blankly, and then recalled the previous few events. She saw her father and was taken away.

Thinking of what her father was going to do, she threw off the quilt abruptly, stood up hastily, and kept reminding herself: she must stop him.

I don't know how Kongyin is doing now, if she knows about these things, she might be worried.

During the time they were separated, many things happened, although there were bad things and good things, but when you think about it carefully, it seems that God is against them, and the number of good things may not add up to a fraction of the bad things.

What a troubled spring.

Chizuru planned to escape from here first, after all, she was taken away in front of Hirasuke-kun, and he would probably come here to look for her, but according to his father's style, the vicinity must have been full of Rakshasa.

It would be very dangerous for Hirasuke-kun to break in alone.

She stretched out her hand and was about to pull the door open, and then carefully observed where was the suitable escape route, but just as her hand touched the edge of the door, it was pulled open first.

"..."

Qianhe and the person outside the door looked at each other for a few seconds, then took two steps back with a look of astonishment on his face, stretched out his fingers and pointed at the tip of the person's nose tremblingly: "Kongkongkongkongyin?!"

Qianhe's reaction made the people outside the door tilt their heads in a daze: "Long time no see, sister."

"Why are you here!!" Shouldn't Sora be staying in Edo well, why are you here?I should have been kidnapped by my father... By the way, these have nothing to do with Kongyin!

"Huh?" Sora held his chin and thought for a while, as if he was struggling with how to answer Qianzuru's question, "Ah, for me, I'm waiting for my sister here."

"……wait for me?"

"Well, because I made an appointment with my father."

This conversation confuses Qianhe more and more. "Waiting for her", and "I have an appointment", etc. What are they all about?

"Speaking of..." Kongyin walked into the room and closed the door, "Does my sister know where Mr. Xun is?"

Chizuru was taken aback.Why...why did Kong Yin know about Xun Jun?

He didn't hear the answer, so Kong Yin kept his previous tone and continued: "He went out a few days ago and said he was going to bring his sister here, but there has been no news, so maybe he died?"

Sora Yin slowly uttered the word "dead" in a tone that couldn't tell what emotion it was.

Qianhe clenched his fists involuntarily: "Well, Kongyin..."

"Please tell me, what is going on?"

Kong Yin stopped talking to herself, and knelt down on the tatami mat while holding her chin. After a while, she spoke, but did not answer Qianzuru's question: "Hey, sister, do you know what father wants to do?" .”

It was clearly supposed to be a question sentence, but Kong Yin abruptly changed the final punctuation into a full stop in an extremely positive tone.Seeing Qianhe nodded gently, Kong Yin continued to ask: "Then sister thinks father is right?"

Unexpectedly, her younger sister would be so straightforward, Chizuru couldn't help tightening her palms and gripping the fabric on her thighs.

How should she answer?Not knowing why Sora Yin asked such a question, and unable to see what she was thinking, Chizuru frowned hesitantly, not knowing what to do for a while.

Seeing her hesitation, Sora Yin leaned over and held Qianzuru's with his hand. He wanted to warm up the other person like the book said, but when he touched her, he realized that his hand was actually colder than Qianzuru's. , "Please tell me the truth, what does my sister think."

"It's okay, no matter what my sister wants, I will not object."

She just came to confirm Qianzuru's attitude towards this matter, and then decide what to do.

Kongyin was brought here by Xun, and she learned of his plan from Gangdao.

Revitalize the Xuecun clan, and open up a new era of ghosts.

It sounds like a dream, but Kongyin knew that his father must be serious.

To be honest, she is really not interested in this kind of thing, and she doesn't plan to take care of what her father wants to do. From her standpoint, the prosperity of the Xuecun clan has no effect on her at all.However, she has to consider Qianhe's feelings. According to her understanding of this sister, she thinks that Qianhe must not want to see this happen, and she must want to stop her father's actions.

At that time, if she had to make a choice before her father and Chizuru, of course she would decisively abandon the former.

Father is of course very important. If possible, she doesn't want to see anyone sacrificed, but unfortunately, to Yukimura Sora, Yukimura Chizuru is more important.

No one dies, and then everyone lives happily together.This kind of ending doesn't even exist in fairy tales, it's not even a dream, it's just a fantasy.

Kongyin is very clear about this, since she can't have the best of both worlds, she at least hopes to make a decision that she won't regret.

"I understand. Since my sister wants to stop my father, I will help."

That's good, Kongyin found out a long time ago, as long as she keeps following her sister, she won't regret it.
