Devil Gaiden

the epitome of reality

It was sunny after the rain, a round of warm sun hung high in the sky, and the bright sunlight warmed my hair.

Pulling on the clogs with both feet, the round toes are exposed to the humid and slightly hot air. Haijiang walked slowly on the dirt road that was washed by the heavy rain for several days. A certain silver waved at a bearded uncle naturally Waving his hand, he immediately turned around and strode up to follow her, walking side by side with her.

"How obsessed are you with "Jump"? You won't finish one issue, and you specially asked the uncle who went to the town to do business to bring it back for you?" Haijiang asked, turning his face sideways as he stepped over a small puddle.

"You won't understand. I want to maintain this youthful heart at all times, so of course "jump" is an essential piece of equipment." Spreading out the magazine, the pages smelling like ink were flying at the fingertips, silver When he quickly locked a certain page, he murmured to the black-and-white image of the Two-dimensional girl: "Besides, there is such a wonderful serial, you can't put it down just by looking at it, and you will feel it even more if you look at it a few more times." The blood is boiling, even if you are naked in the winter, you will not feel cold. Sure enough, I like Dongcheng Aya more..."

"I think you like her 'big bosom'?"

"Male men will probably like it, right? Ah Yin, I'm at this age, so it's natural for me to have beautiful fantasies about women in this area, right?" He closed the magazine with a snap, and the little curly hair lazily picked his nostrils. , the lifeless dead fish glanced at Haijiang aside, his eyes fixed on the long black and smooth hair. "In addition to the well-developed part, I also like her long hair. It's black and shiny. It must feel good to the touch."

"Well, this is all your opinion, I have no right to ask, anyway, don't drag me out to buy "Jump" with you next time, in weather like this, I should sit under the eaves and enjoy glutinous rice dumplings comfortably .”

"Girl, no, this decadent and lazy lifestyle..." Smacking her lips, she shook her head in disapproval with a silver curly face.

"Really? I don't want to be said so by a reserve uncle who doesn't wash his hands when he goes to the toilet. As long as he has a copy of "Jump" and a box of strawberry milk, he can lie on the tatami all day long."

"So, in order to save my young man from going astray, you as a friend should do your part." Rolling up "jump" and tucking it under his arm, Gintoki put his hand on Haijiang's shoulder and smiled Said: "Accompany me out for a walk, it is very good for us in the growing period, let the body and mind thrive in the sun, you will definitely grow into a good figure like Dongcheng Ling, don't waste yourself Good qualifications, come on, exercise more, girl!"

Holding his chin with one hand, the little curly-haired eyes scanned the slender figure of his childhood sweetheart back and forth.

"Okay, it doesn't matter if you take more walks, but if you often hang out with you in the future, you have to make up for it? After all, I have embezzled my own leisure time." Thinking of the pumpkin pudding hidden in my room , Haijiang unconsciously quickened his pace.

"How about glutinous rice dumpling?"

He trotted towards the dumpling house in front of him, greeted the proprietress in a hurry, Yinshi immediately took a seat, and patted the seat next to him facing Haijiang with a smile.

The corners of his lips curved slightly, Haijiang sat down quickly, and ordered ten skewers of dumplings in a snap.

Bringing a few plates of glutinous rice balls to the two young guests, the proprietress put her hands on her hips, and with a smile on her ruddy face, she quietly watched Haijiang pick up a bunch of small bean-filled dumplings and chew them with gusto.

"Speaking of which, Haijiang is also a frequent visitor to my place. Over the years, I can't count how many times you have come here."

"It is because the dumplings made by the proprietress are so delicious that they attract me as a repeat customer time and time again."

The restless devil's hand naturally reached for the plate of classmate Tianranjuan.

"Ah, by the way, I was just thinking about myself, I almost forgot that you like to add this every time you eat dumplings." Turning around and picking up a glass bottle, the aunt of the dumpling house put a large jar of sauce in front of Haijiang. "Strawberry jam, you can add as much as you want, and today's dumpling is also free, it's my treat."

With bulging cheeks, Gintoki tilted his head slightly, and looked at the proprietress of the dumpling house who seemed somewhat different from usual, the gloomy gleam in the red eyes flashed quickly.

"What's going on, lady boss, this tone of voice like confessing your last words. You quarreled with your old man, and he's in second bloom? So you plan to hang yourself and throw yourself into the river? Or is your son in Edo bankrupt? , are you going to abandon you like giant garbage? Think about it, there is hope everywhere in life, run towards the sunset." Looking at the delicate hands that were taking the dumplings from him openly, Gintoki held the bamboo stick Throwing it back on the plate, speaking incoherent words in an old-fashioned tone.

"You premature aging white-haired brat, your mouth still stinks so badly, curse me to death!" As if scolding, the aunt brought up a whole plate full of glutinous rice balls to make up for Yinshi.

Sighing lightly, a gratified smile appeared on the aunt's face. The crow's feet at the corners of her eyes became more and more obvious, but her usually high-pitched voice was unbelievably softer.

"Natural curly brat, you're right. The matter is indeed related to my son in Edo." Rubbing her hands on the yellowed apron, she leaned forward and put her elbows on the table. "Actually, I just received a letter from my son from Edo. He has been running a small business there for the past few years, and he has finally gotten better recently. He plans to take the two of us to live together. So, like this Making dumplings for you to eat may be the last time."

"But, is it really okay? Thanks to the compromise of the shogunate, there are many heavenly beings living in Edo now. This is a brand new place. You are an old bone and you have to force yourself to adapt. I heard It is said that old men and old ladies always have a hard time accepting new things, so don’t pack up and run back to this remote village crying in a few days.” With his head lowered, Yin Shi carefully brushed the string of dumplings in his hand with strawberry jam.

"Yeah, for me, the current Edo is a strange new world. Compared with a child like you, I can feel the changes in the world more deeply than a child like you. After people come..." Stretching out her hand and rubbing the soft curly hair on the top of Yinshi's head, she sighed, "However, for me, a humble man with no skills, it is impossible to pick up a knife like a man with lofty ideals. Just rushing to the battlefield, unable to change, I can only try to adapt to this world. After all, in this changing generation, my relatives are still there, they will be with me, like me, living in this ever-changing world The world takes each day seriously, we just want to live in peace and quiet."

Rather than worrying about changes in the world, I care more about the people around me...

He raised his head and stared deeply at the smiling face of the auntie of the dumpling house. After a long while, Yinshi whispered, "If your son is unfilial, remember to tell me the family ugliness. If it happens that my hands are itchy and want to beat someone, I will go to Edo Beat him hard and fast."

"Then I would like to thank you for your kindness first. In fact, I have lived in this village for a long time without my son by my side, so I treat you naughty little devils as my grandsons. The little ones at the beginning are now grown-ups." It’s like changing in the blink of an eye.”

"You still have to charge money for the dumplings from your grandson, what a greedy Obasan, won't you blush?" Feeling his stomach bulging, he couldn't eat anything anymore, Yinshi turned his head and looked at the man who was still eating. Haijiang stopped, and brushed strawberry jam on her dumpling.

"You shameless child who asks such a question should blush! Even a bodhisattva who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world still needs to collect money for sesame oil, not to mention I'm just a mortal, auntie!" , the aunt took out a small piece of paper with curled edges and stuffed it into his hand. "This is the address of my residence in Edo. If you have the opportunity to go there in the future, you must come to me. Auntie will make you delicious glutinous rice dumplings. Of course, there will be strawberry jam."

"Well, that's all I've said, I probably haven't missed anything..." Frowning tightly, the aunt suddenly slapped her head and her eyes widened exaggeratedly.

"Remember, I have to tell you something. There have been incidents in several nearby villages. It is said that several beautiful little girls have been abducted and trafficked. Moreover, even if they are found, where are those people? If your parents keep pestering you, you will be..." With one hand across her throat, the aunt looked around nervously, and said in a low voice, "I heard that some gang from the Heaven and Man did it. Even the shogunate has nothing to do with heaven and man, let alone the parents of ordinary people. I heard that those girls were all sold to Yoshiwara as wandering girls."

With worry in her eyes, the aunt looked at Haijiang who was still eating dumplings.However, the other party still had a mouth full of strawberry jam, licking the corner of his mouth that was sticky with the sweet sauce, with a carefree and relaxed expression.

Meeting the gaze of the aunt, Xiao Curly Yinshi suddenly changed into a firm expression.

"Auntie, don't worry. No matter what, I will never leave Haijiang alone."

"Damn boy, it seems that you are still a man at the critical moment."

"If she becomes Yoshiwara's wandering girl, I will definitely spend money to hire her, and then every night..." Halfway through the words, the aunt gave a big chestnut on the forehead, rubbing the instantly swollen swelling
