Bamboo branch girl
Chapter 39 Kumamoto Castle
The image of Wannianzhu in Zhuji's heart is tall and tall. He preaches, teaches and dispels doubts, and he is omnipotent in music, painting and calligraphy.
However, she wants to be independent.Because Wannianzhu is very busy, if she disturbs him again, she will definitely be scolded.Zhuji stood where she was, didn't speak, and didn't lead the way for Jinyuji, she was in a daze.
Jinyu Ji took Zhu Ji's hand and said, "Why don't you hurry up? I can't wait."
Zhuji was like a piece of wood, with dull eyes and stiff legs.Afterwards, her ears were pricked up, she was startled at first, and then turned to pull Jinyu Ji to run: "Hurry... Hurry up and hide, Lord Punishment is coming this way again."
Although the sound is very soft, almost non-existent, in this bamboo forest, any subtle changes, including wind, breath, and insects can be sensed by Zhuji.
Huang walked in a hurry, if she didn't walk faster, she would be easily caught by Huang.
Even in Zhuji's heart, she still hopes that Huang can find her, and say to her, "I understand what you mean." Such words.
but.
no!Don't ruin the famine!
Gods should abide by the rules, stay away from ghosts, be close to human beings, serve human beings, and be praised by human beings.She couldn't let Huang be punished by the gods because of her own selfish desires, and finally ended up in exile.
Zhuji ran vigorously, to a place where she couldn't hear any sound about Huang.
When she stopped, she realized that she had reached an ocean, and this rich place was not at all popular.After a big tsunami happened many years ago, no one moved here anymore.
Now, none of them have any place to shelter.
Nowhere to hide.
Jinyu Ji shook off Zhu Ji's hand, raised her fan to summon Mr. Jinyu, and walked back with big strides: "The tall man is so troublesome, I'm going to drive him away!"
Naturally, she had never experienced how powerful Huang was, and she took it for granted that she could protect Zhuji with her own strength.She thought that something like a god was far inferior to a monster who had cultivated for a long time to take human form.
Zhuji hugged Jinyuji's arm, shook her head and said, "No, no, he is a god, we can't beat him."
Jinyu Ji was not convinced: "We are not weak at all, I even caught a ghost last time."
"But..." Zhuji hesitated, and let go of Jinyu Ji's hand, not knowing how to deal with it for a while.Two-faced Buddha is a combination of Thunder God and Fengshen, so its strength should not be underestimated. Last time it was Jinyu Ji who was carrying out a surprise attack and captured the Two-faced Buddha and Yasha together. This time, the target was Huang, who didn't even know his strength. She felt that it would not be feasible for Jinyu Ji to go up to fight rashly.
But what can be done?She can't escape anywhere now, unless she jumps into the sea.
jump into the sea...
Zhuji looked back at the calm ocean.
Yes, only by jumping into the sea can he not find it.Zhuji discovered a new hiding place, and rushed there desperately, preparing for a leap of faith.
The moment the sea breeze blew, the sky was covered by stars, and the large sea in front of him disappeared.
Zhuji was stunned for a moment, her waist was hugged tightly, her body lightened, her feet left the ground, and she was picked up by someone!
"Ah!" She screamed, and when she turned around, she met a familiar and handsome face, "Lord Heaven's Punishment!"
"Why do you hide?" Huang tried his best to suppress his anger, not wanting to scare the timid Zhuji.
After being covered by the illusion, the surrounding things are also real. If you are not careful, you may hit a rock or a big tree at any time.If Zhuji ran a few more steps, she would sink in the sea. Huang didn't want to see Zhuji go to such a dangerous place to avoid him.
Zhuji didn't speak, she lowered her head and didn't look at Huang's expression again.
Jinyu Ji, who was about to go out, couldn't find the direction to go back. When she turned back, she saw that tall man bullying Zhu Ji again.She was upset, and ordered the ugly goldfish to spray the mucus.
"Let go of Zhuji-chan!! Damn tall man!!" Jinyu Ji shouted from a distance, she didn't seem to dare to approach.
Huang easily dodged the sudden slime, and then focused his attention on Zhuji, saying: "I fulfilled my promise and returned Huang to you, so why are you hiding again and refusing to face him?"
Zhuji covered her face: "I, I, I... I don't know!"
"Do you regret it?" Huang murmured.
She really regretted it a bit, if she knew Ara was a god from the beginning, she would not have approached her, but it seems too late to say such a thing now.
"Can you let Zhu Ji down?" Zhu Ji carefully met Huang's eyes, and in his eyes, she could see her own appearance.
"No." Huang said firmly.
Zhuji struggled desperately: "It will be seen, it will be seen by the gods! Huang will definitely be seen by them..."
"You don't need to worry about this kind of thing, as long as you promise to appear in my sight range from now on." Huang did not allow Zhuji to go to a place that he couldn't see or protect.
Zhuji's eyes sparkled, Huang's words made it even more difficult for her to make a choice.
Can she really cultivate into a god?If she is really as hateful as the Kitchen God said, and offended many people, then the road ahead will only be more difficult.
No, you must be patient!Although Huang is very gentle, she cannot be defeated!The relationship between her and Huang only needs to reach this level, neither a lover nor an enemy.
"Tall man! Tall man! I'm going to lose my temper!" Jinyu Ji yelled while avoiding her feet, "Mr. Jinyu, hurry up and spray the slime! Make sure to get Zhuji Jiang back!"
Ugly Goldfish sprayed furiously, regardless of Zhuji's safety.
Although Huang dodges quickly, he always holds someone in his arms, so he has many scruples.The spray is getting denser and denser, and some of them can automatically track and turn, avoiding the back and not being able to avoid the front.
Takehime's little finger was forced to stick with goldfish mucus, and that tiny drop of mucus began to corrode her skin.
"Weak and stupid." In order to avoid hurting Zhu Ji again, Huang finally put her down and focused on fighting Jinyu Ji.
This time, Jinyu Ji completely angered Huang.He conjured meteors in his mudra, and let the meteors fall straight down from the sky.
The "Flying Immortal" above the head landed, even if Mr. Jinyu was asked to stop it, it would not be able to stop the fatal damage! Jinyu Ji was stunned, and there seemed to be a powerful force around her to prevent her from escaping.
Zhuji hugged Huang from behind, crying and begging: "Master Heaven's Punishment, please don't kill Jinyu Jijiang... I, I will definitely stay in the bamboo forest and be seen by you."
Lying is not a good boy, but lying to save someone is a different definition.
Huang recovered the illusion, and the meteor dissipated in mid-air.He knelt down and wiped away the tears from the corners of Zhuji's eyes with his hands, then gently hugged her into his arms.
"I haven't written anything today, can I write with Zhuji after God's Punishment is finished?" Zhuji tried her best to put on a cute smile, but she was actually very unhappy.I don't know when it started, Huang became different from before.This change was very subtle, and Zhuji couldn't detect anything wrong.
Unexpectedly, Huang refused to agree to Zhuji's request.
"Go later, I'll ask Arakawa to come and take her away." Arakawa whistled, and a small dragon flew out of the sea.He stuck a bead into the dragon's claw, and the dragon flew away again.
"Don't get close to Zhuji anymore! She hates you very much now, big villain!" Jinyu Ji was furious, knowing that this tall man would only let a big man come over to deal with her!
Fortunately, however, it was not a collection of corpses.
While Jinyu Ji was feeling overwhelmed, she also noticed that Zhu Ji's location happened to be a reef on the beach.She suddenly leaned over wittily, winked at Zhuji, and said: "Zhuji sauce is not cute at all, she just wants to deceive people, you obviously want to take the cheat book to your father to read it, and when you meet him Let’s talk about writing. It’s too disrespectful!”
Zhuji actually understood Jinyuji's meaning, she immediately relayed it to Huang and said: "Master Heaven's Punishment, Zhuji must show loyalty, can I go to daddy?"
"No." Huang had already guessed the careful thoughts of the two of them. Once Zhuji went to Wannianzhu, he couldn't go in and out at will. It would be even more difficult to see Zhuji.
There is no other way, this man's possessiveness is so strong, no one else can compare.Jinyu Ji grasped the gap where Huang was least vigilant, and suddenly raised her arms and shouted: "Since that's the case! Let's work together!!"
"Add...add, come on!!" Zhuji responded softly.
Jinyu Ji threw off her fan with all her strength, and it landed on Huang's face.
Huang was confused.With sharp eyes and quick hands, Jinyu Ji dragged Zhu Ji to jump up into the sea, and there was no splash when she fell into the water.
They won!
In the deep sea, Jinyu Ji returned to her original shape.Her original form is a small red koi carp, her body is too small to carry Zhuji away.
But for some reason, Zhuji can breathe freely in the water without a tail, and she even swims faster than Jinyuji.If she didn't know her origin, she would think that she was also an aquatic monster.She played with Jinyu Ji in the sea, bubbling out of her mouth when talking, and the sea water just couldn't get into her mouth and nose.
There is a palace in the sea, surrounded by a huge enchantment, and there is a huge earth dragon wandering outside the enchantment.The dragon circled around and stared at Zhuji and the others for a while, and after Zhuji swam through this area, the dragon returned to its post.
Of course, Zhuji and the others couldn't find the dragon.
There should be the legendary Great God of Haiyuan living below... Zhuji remembered the book of the gods, which recorded stories about the god of the sea, but she didn't read much.Generally speaking, she copied no more than ten chapters from the book, and her memory was not very good, so she memorized it for nothing.
They swam for a long time without knowing where they were going. They just swam from the vast ocean to the gradually narrowing river.When Jinyu Ji touched the land, she reminded Zhu Ji to get ashore quickly.
Jinyu Ji changed into a human form again, touched a reed, and fell to the ground exhausted, panting, her clothes were soaked.
It was still daytime outside, and the sun was shining brightly.
"Huh... finally escaped, but my fan was taken away by the tall man! I can no longer summon Mr. Goldfish!" Jinyu Ji turned over, letting the sun shine on her wet clothes.
Zhuji directly took off her coat, spread it flat on the ground, hugged her knees and sat down: "Don't be sad, the cheat book is still there. But where is this place? I really want to talk to my father."
She took out the soaked "cheat book" and put it in the sun to dry.Strangely, the color paint in the book did not smudge because of the wet water, and the drawings on it were still clearly visible.
It really is a magical book!Takehime couldn't help sighing.
----------
Sunny and windy.When the clothes were almost dried, Jinyu Ji collapsed on the ground and fell asleep.
Zhuji leaned down and touched her forehead.
It's very hot, just like what Granny Tang said about having a fever.
Did you have a fever from being frightened by Huang?Indeed, sometimes Huang is really fierce, and she is actually very scared.That meteor would kill someone, but luckily Jinyu Ji was fine, otherwise she would feel restless.
"Goldfish Ji...does the hot head have a fever?" Zhuji held Jinyu Ji's hand, trying to use healing techniques to make her recover.The problem is that Zhu Ji's remaining demon power is running out, and she can only bear half of Jinyu Ji's pain.
Jinyu Ji patted her face to cheer her up, she jumped up and patted her buttocks, said with her hands on her hips, "No, how can I, the cutest person in the world, have a fever! Get up, we have to ask where this is .”
It's great to see Jinyu Ji in high spirits.Zhuji breathed a sigh of relief, put on her dry coat, tidied her hair, and walked forward hand in hand with Jinyu Ji.
Jinyu Ji staggered when she got up, and she seemed to be in a daze, which made Zhuji very worried.She planned to find a hotel to rest for a while, and let Jinyu Ji recover from her illness before leaving this place to find Wannianzhu.
They came to a market from a remote suburb.
This market is very busy, and there are shouts everywhere.The izakayas on the street are full of people, and some people get drunk and make trouble in broad daylight.
There's a drunk guy in just a thong, and when he sees a woman, he puts his arms around it and vomits on someone else.A samurai with a knife cut off one of the drunk's arms on the spot.The drunk's arm was severed, and a lot of blood flowed out all the way.He fell to the ground in pain, screaming, and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
The action of the samurai ushered in the applause of passers-by.
Zhuji dragged Jinyuji around and stopped in an alley, patting her chest.
Humans are really scary, so why not stay in a hotel, or rest in a grove?But what if Xiao Shulin also encounters this kind of person with a knife?
----------
From the end of the alley came slowly a thin man carrying a basket.The smell of candies came from his basket, and when Jinyu Ji sniffed it, she didn't feel sleepy at all.
The thin man smiled and put down the basket, took out two bunches of red candies, and said, "Little girls, do you want to buy apple candies?"
"I want to eat, I want to eat!" Jinyu Ji swallowed, her eyes were shining, and she tugged on Zhu Ji's sleeve.
Zhuji subconsciously reached into her sleeve, and took out, but nothing came out.She whispered to Jinyu Ji: "But I don't have any money, I can't get money for this dress."
"Then forget it..." Jinyu Ji was a little disappointed, "Actually, it doesn't matter if I eat a few less. Anyway, I have a lot at home. The most important thing now is to find your father and give him the cheat book."
Although she had very meaningless words on her lips, her eyes stared at the apple candy in the basket from time to time.
Zhuji searched carefully for the sleeves, but still couldn't find any money.She had no choice but to tear off the salted fish-shaped hair ornament on her head, and spread it out in the palm of her hand for the thin man to see: "Can the hair ornament be changed? Although I don't know if it's worth it, there are a few pearls inlaid here."
The thin man shook his head: "Pearl's words are too precious, and we ordinary people can't spend them, so just give a few copper coins and Tongbao to keep it."
"I don't want to eat, you can ask someone else." Jinyu Ji blushed, a little embarrassed, turned her head and pushed Zhu Ji to the other side, "Zhu Ji Jiang, let's go!"
Without money, it is difficult to move an inch. No matter in the world or in the Arakawa Valley, Jinyu Ji is a complete pauper.She has no job, no income, and no treasure map, so she often goes to Arakawa's house to eat, drink, and live.
To conquer the world, you must have funds!She will work hard to grab money with Zhuji!Candy apples and so on can be eaten freely after conquering the world!
"What are you doing? No sweets are allowed on the streets of Kumamoto Castle, haven't you seen the ban?" The thin man was grabbed by the collar by a samurai.
Zhuji and Jinyuji turned around together when they heard the sound.
It was the samurai just now!
Next to him was a man with a head and a head, who was as thin as a stick, with a slightly hunched back, and a short ponytail tied on the back of his head.He was pushing down and crushing the baskets of candy apples.The red sugar scum sticks to the ground, which is very ugly.
"In my opinion, if you take it back and beat it, your memory will be long. The untouchables are all the same." Leaning against the wall, the thin warrior kicked the thin man's ass, seeing the man's face on the apple candy residue, Then he laughed loudly.
After being insulted, the thin man cried and begged for mercy: "I beg you two warriors to forgive me!" He quickly took out a heavy sack from his pocket and handed it to the warrior. .
The slightly handsomer samurai weighed the weight of the sack and winked at the skinny samurai.
The thin samurai kicked again and said, "Go away!"
The emaciated man staggered away, and fell several times.After being caught this time, he probably won't sell apple candy anymore, because the lord of Kumamoto City hates candy.
The special hobbies of the city lord prevented the entire Kumamoto city from making sugar and buying and selling candies.Originally, the business of sugar merchants was very booming, but since the newly appointed city lord issued a ban, the sales of these sugar merchants were cut off.In order to make a living, sugar sellers can only sell secretly in these alleys, and it is their bad luck to be caught.
After finishing one, the two warriors went forward to block the way of Zhuji and Jinyuji, saying: "Also, you two, buying and selling sweets is against the law."
If you know it, run away!You shouldn't be watching the show!
One thing more is worse than one thing less, Zhuji imitated the sugar seller just now, and obediently put the hair ornament inlaid with a few pearls into the hand of the handsome warrior: "I'm sorry, we don't know, can you spare us?" ? I'll give you something valuable too."
"What's breaking the rules, overlord, rascal!" Jinyu Ji pouted, feeling sorry for Zhu Ji's hair accessory.
"Seeing that you are dressed like a princess from a noble minister's family, how come you don't know the prohibition?" The handsome and upright warrior looked Zhuji up and down, thinking that her status should not be low, at least a princess above the status of a minister.
The embroidery and texture on her clothes are also rare among nobles, and they are probably the latest styles.Although this hair accessory looks strange, the pearls on it are not fake.After this round of observation, the samurai did not dare to act rashly, so it is better to ask more clearly.
Zhuji looked down at her clothes, she didn't think there was anything wrong, anyway, she usually wears like this.Moreover, this dress was not given, and the quality was very good, but she still missed the original set of golden silk, because she could change the item space at will.
"Because we just came here, so we don't know yet." Zhuji was confused, and said something that made the truth clear.
Jinyu Ji went crazy, and hit Zhu Ji's shoulder with her weak fist: "Idiot, idiot! He's trying to trick you! Why do you say we are from other places!"
"Eh? Wouldn't it be better to be honest?" Zhu Ji was confused.
"Okay, you can go now. Don't buy sweets anymore. The city lord doesn't like his people to eat things that are harmful to the body." The samurai didn't pursue it any further. The oldest girl looked only 15 years old. Looking up and down, even if it is a little smaller, it can't be seen that it will be a person who does bad things.Coupled with not knowing their identities, the samurai did not dare to act rashly, so it was fine to harvest a few pearls in this way.
Zhuji only walked a few steps, then turned back and asked the samurai, "Well... Excuse me, what is this place?"
"Of course this is Kumamoto Castle. You're not a local. Could it be that you ran away from home?" The thin samurai beside him smiled wretchedly.He really wanted to touch this girl's delicate skin and tender flesh, but it's better not to have too many hands when facing a person of unknown origin.
"Thank you, I see." Zhu Ji ran back to Jinyu Ji and told her the address here.
Jinyu Ji had never heard of Kumamoto Castle, and she didn't know where to go.She jumped a few steps irritably, and Arakawa's album fell from her body.
The book was facing up, and when the wind blew, it opened to the middle page.
Even an adult understands that this book is full of vivid content.They saw with their own eyes that Jinyu Ji picked up the book and calmly hugged it to her chest.
"This... this..." The two warriors looked at each other, speechless, absolutely unimaginable.
Zhuji and the others hadn't gone far when they stopped them again.The thin samurai pressed the knife on his waist and said, "Stop, stop! Show us what that book is!"
Jinyu Ji was not happy, so they grabbed her hard.The thin samurai casually flipped through a few pages, and then his eyes widened.He wiped his nosebleeds, stuffed the book into his bag, trembling his lips, and said, "It's unreasonable! You carry such a dirty book with you at such a young age!"
"Could it be another scholar who sells banned books?" the handsome warrior thought.
Recently, a scholar appeared in Kumamoto City. He often wandered around the city during the day, and when he met people in need, he would sell banned|books to earn that kind of filthy money.
Although there used to be such scholars who sold drugs privately in the past, it is different now. As soon as the new city lord took office, he ordered the detention and arrest of scholars who traded bad things, and cleared the place of Fireworks and Willow Alley.
In order to rectify the unhealthy atmosphere left by history in the city, the new city lord issued many prohibitions and sent warriors to patrol everywhere. Anyone who violated the contents of the prohibitions would be arrested and educated in prison.Recently, he has started to build shrines to worship the gods who helped Kumamoto open the city, so as to consolidate his dominance.
"Take it back together, maybe it's an accomplice. The city lord doesn't like to see disharmonious mouse droppings in the city." The handsome samurai said.
The two warriors pulled out their knives and laid them across the necks of Zhuji and Jinyuji.Jinyu Ji resisted for a while, and her wrists were tied behind her back.She had a fever, and everything she saw was blurred. Since she had been away from the water for too long, Jinyu Ji couldn't hold on anymore, and she was staggeringly let on by the skinny warrior.
Zhuji was angry: "You are not allowed to do this!" She pushed the handsome warrior away from the bondage with both hands, opened her mouth and bit the warrior's arm forcefully.
The handsome samurai screamed in pain, kicked Zhuji away, and slapped her hard several times, then tore off the chains that he carried with him and wrapped them around her legs tightly.
"Gather a few more people! Tie them back!" the handsome warrior said angrily.The tooth marks on his arm were red and purple, and gradually turned black.
--------
The cell was built underground, and there was no ventilation, and the candles were often extinguished because of this, and the whole cell was pitch black.
Few of those imprisoned made it out alive.It is said that Kumamoto City is going to be rectified, but the so-called education and reform of those who violated the law is actually torture, and after they are disabled, they will be sent home, so that they will no longer be able to cause trouble.
Zhuji was forced to go into the dungeon, and all the "prisoners" in the cage stared at her, but this "staring" was neither enthusiasm nor hatred, but indifference.Almost all of them were wounded, but none of them was moaning in pain.
She and Jinyu Ji were thrown into an empty cell.The cells next to each other are for "female prisoners" and the cells opposite are for "male prisoners".
"It turns out that they can even catch little girls, and the city lord is quite capable." A well-built "female prisoner" in the cell next door said with a smile.
This "female prisoner" was sitting in a corner, with torn clothes on her chest, not much cloth hanging on her body, and her belly was still swollen, as if she was pregnant.From this, one can probably imagine that she has suffered a great insult, and the imprint of this insult will remain in the place where life was born.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Zhuji still couldn't believe how terrifying the cell described in the book was.
Jinyu Ji lay on the ground, weakly retorted: "That's not true! It's too hot outside, we just came here to cool off. Master Jinyu Ji won't be easily caught by them... catch..."
"Jinyu Jijiang..." Zhuji tried to break free from the chains on her hands and feet, but she didn't have enough strength.
"It can't be done, I can't hold on without being out of the water for too long. It would be great if there was a pool..." Jinyu Ji panted heavily, looking very hard.She closed her eyes, as if there was a clear river in front of her eyes, she was playing with sister Li Yujing and Kappa...
Is it a revolving door?
The cutest me in the world has finally come to an end... Jinyu Ji's eyelids are heavy, she can no longer open them, and her breathing becomes weak.
Zhuji moved over and held Jinyuji's hand again, to see if she could use the healing technique to make Jinyuji feel a little better.But it turns out that Takehime is really not good at healing pain like symptoms.
In the cell opposite, there was a man writing. Unlike most "prisoners", he had paper and pens by his side, dressed in elegant clothes, and looked elegant, like a scholar.
Now he has completely transcribed what Jinyu Ji just said on paper.After he finished writing, he murmured to the piece of paper: "So it turns out that Jinyu Ji is a goldfish monster, and it should be the herbal monster that will be cured."
"What are you remembering?" Zhuji let go of Jinyu Ji's hand, moved to the iron gate, and stretched her neck to try to read what was written on it.But they are too far away, and the characters are too small to read clearly.
"Write a Book of Hundred Ghosts." The scholar took a new piece of paper from the side and rubbed the ink, "If you are interested, you can also tell me about your affairs, so that I can write a book in the Book of Hundred Ghosts." Add more interesting content to it.”
"Zhuji, I seem to be dying... Huh... It's so hard to breathe..." Jinyu Ji couldn't hold on any longer, her body was weak and she was about to return to her original shape soon.
"Zhu Ji will take you away now." Zhu Ji was worried about Jinyu Ji's safety, so she began to knock on the chains connecting the iron gate with her hand wrapped in chains, but the iron gate remained motionless.
The strength is too small!A strong man can break things constantly, let alone a girl who has no strength to restrain a chicken.
"With your strength, it can't be broken. This is a prison cell, and the iron gate is as solid as a rock." The scholar stopped writing, admiring the girl's persistence.
Of course, Zhuji's purpose of beating the chain was not to break it, but to attract the attention of those patrolling jailers. Although she was usually stupid, she still understood such a simple truth.
Sure enough, the jailer came after hearing the noise.
"Hey! Who is so noisy!"
"Please, let us go out, my friend can't hold on any longer." Zhuji begged.
The jailer refused straight away: "No, it's up to the city lord to let him go. We don't have the right, and it's none of our business to die in the cell."
"At the very least, I have to report it. They are not evil people, and they may have status." The scholar wrote a short sentence on the paper, and then said: "Of course, this is just a humble opinion. Lord Jailer can ignore it."
The scholar's tone is very calm, he is obviously meddling in other people's affairs, but he can act as if he is out of it, he is not an easy person.
The jailer hesitated for a while, and then took a closer look at Zhuji's attire. It was indeed different from those civilian "prisoners" who had just come in.He waved to another jailer outside the cell, gesturing to report something about the girl to the city lord.
Not long after, the person who had gone out to report hurried back and whispered a few words in the jailer's ear.
The jailer pointed at Zhu Ji and said, "You, come with me to meet the Lord City Master."
Zhuji asked: "Is it just me?"
The jailer opened the iron prison with a key, and then unchained Zhuji's hands and feet, and said, "The city lord only wants to see you, and he didn't say he would summon anyone else."
"Then I'd better not leave, or take a bucket of water and put it here." Zhuji ran back to the corner of the cell, hugging Jinyu Ji, motionless.
The jailer is also very difficult to do. The city lord only confessed that he wanted to see the girl with long hair and wearing a pink kimono, but she refused to come out now, so what should I do?
It would be a capital offense not to take her there, and it would be a breach of duty if both of them followed her. Now he is in a dilemma.In desperation, he promised Zhuji to give Jinyuji a bucket of water.
A pot-bellied bucket full of water was picked up.
As soon as Jinyu Ji saw the water, she soaked her head in it and drank a few gulps.She collapsed on the ground again, took a deep breath, and felt as if she was alive.
After such a commotion, everyone in the cell knew that they were monsters, but everyone didn't react much, and they were not used to seeing them.Because it is human beings that are more terrifying than ghosts, ghosts and gods. Any ferocious ghosts and beasts are not as good as human fingers and tails.Since they can endure the inhuman torture in the cage, why are they afraid of ghosts?
Although Zhuji agreed to go with the jailer, she was very vigilant all the way.But among them, who is staying away from whom, when Zhu Ji followed closely, the jailer would go a few steps further, specifically not to let Zhu Ji get close to him.
I heard that the samurai who brought her back today died while eating.
He also heard that the samurai's death was miserable, the tooth marks on his arm were rotten, eroding his entire hand, and then his neck, face, eyes, all the way to the end.
No wonder the Lord of the City met her in person, is it really something ominous?
After going around a few times, they arrived at the northwest corner, which was the palace of the city lord.
Natsume Hideaki, the lord of Kumamoto Castle, was sitting in front of the screen, the fan in his hand was constantly shaking.Beside him were two maids kneeling and sitting, fanning him too.
In Kumamoto, summer is stuffy, winter is cold, and it rains in March.During the September harvest, there was a torrential rain that lasted for more than ten days, and the crops were soaked to death. Instead of reducing the tax this season, it became more and more burdensome.
Natsume Hideaki can't talk about loving the people like a son, but he really worked hard for the construction of Kumamoto Castle.Although he said many times, "Stupid people, those taxes will be useful to build shrines in the future!" But the common people still can't understand this ambitious new city lord, thinking that he is a tyrant and a faint king.
Today, the shrine was completed and the weather turned fine.Natsume Hideaki will also meet their god in person.
"Where did the kid come from?" As soon as Natsume Hideaki spoke, the flesh on his face trembled.
That's right, you can't eat candy anymore. When he was a child, his father couldn't help producing candy, which made him what he is today.
"We saw apple candy sellers on the street..." The thin warrior bowed his head, not daring to look at people when he spoke.
"Speak the key."
"Met in the street."
Natsume Hideaki slapped the table and said angrily: "What a waste! What are you making her kneel on? Get the mat!"
"Yes!"
The maid beside Natsume Hideaki brought a cushion from behind the screen, pushed it respectfully in front of Takehime, and said, "Princess, please use it."
Zhuji "enjoyed" the cushion in a daze, and it was still very comfortable to sit on.
Natsume Hideaki closed his fan, moved his fat body, pressed his chest, and said excitedly: "Princess Yuyi came to my Kumamoto today, what a great fortune!"
"What?" Zhuji was even more confused.
That person mentioned Yu Yiji again, it's really strange...
"Thanks to you, the First Lord was able to complete the great cause." Natsume Hideaki patted his fan excitedly, "As for the restoration of the shrine, we will finish it as soon as possible, and please wait patiently, princess."
I saw that Natsume Hideaki asked someone to bring a statue, and the statue was carved with the appearance of Yu Yiji, which was lifelike, "We have carved out a wooden statue according to your portrait, and then we will distribute it to every citizen. Let them worship at home every day."
Natsume Hideaki talked more and more vigorously, and seemed to want to tell Yu Yiji all his "achievements" verbatim, trying to increase her favor.
Zhuji is very aware of her situation, she is in a far away city right now, talking to the lord of Kumamoto Castle, and this lord is asking her to be the god of Kumamoto Castle.
Seems pretty good too...
At least Jinyu Ji can find a place to rest and recuperate.
"That's it..." Zhuji nodded, "Can I build a pool? It's too much, but my good friend really needs it."
"Of course, of course! The princess dare not neglect for a moment." Natsume Hideaki turned and shouted to the samurai guarding outside: "Did you hear that? Don't take a snapshot of the princess's order."
Zhuji paused, and suddenly said: "Where is the newly built shrine? Let's build one over there. It's better to plant some water flowers... Ah! I'm sorry! I said too much!"
Upon hearing her request, Natsume Hideaki became nervous again, "You, quickly contact the gardener!" Natsume Hideaki directed the man's arm to shake violently.
The author has something to say: Kumamoto Castle did exist in history, but there are very few records. It is probably the current Kumamoto Prefecture. The Kumamoto bear we know is the mascot of Kumamoto Prefecture.
PS: Thanks to all the little angels who made the first order, this is very important for author Ji's future lists. (bow)
In the future, I will maintain daily shifts and full attendance, and the quality of the essays will be much, much, much better than the trial reading part~
PPS: Yuzao’s former little brother is very handsome, I want him to appear on the stage.
_(:зゝ∠)_
However, she wants to be independent.Because Wannianzhu is very busy, if she disturbs him again, she will definitely be scolded.Zhuji stood where she was, didn't speak, and didn't lead the way for Jinyuji, she was in a daze.
Jinyu Ji took Zhu Ji's hand and said, "Why don't you hurry up? I can't wait."
Zhuji was like a piece of wood, with dull eyes and stiff legs.Afterwards, her ears were pricked up, she was startled at first, and then turned to pull Jinyu Ji to run: "Hurry... Hurry up and hide, Lord Punishment is coming this way again."
Although the sound is very soft, almost non-existent, in this bamboo forest, any subtle changes, including wind, breath, and insects can be sensed by Zhuji.
Huang walked in a hurry, if she didn't walk faster, she would be easily caught by Huang.
Even in Zhuji's heart, she still hopes that Huang can find her, and say to her, "I understand what you mean." Such words.
but.
no!Don't ruin the famine!
Gods should abide by the rules, stay away from ghosts, be close to human beings, serve human beings, and be praised by human beings.She couldn't let Huang be punished by the gods because of her own selfish desires, and finally ended up in exile.
Zhuji ran vigorously, to a place where she couldn't hear any sound about Huang.
When she stopped, she realized that she had reached an ocean, and this rich place was not at all popular.After a big tsunami happened many years ago, no one moved here anymore.
Now, none of them have any place to shelter.
Nowhere to hide.
Jinyu Ji shook off Zhu Ji's hand, raised her fan to summon Mr. Jinyu, and walked back with big strides: "The tall man is so troublesome, I'm going to drive him away!"
Naturally, she had never experienced how powerful Huang was, and she took it for granted that she could protect Zhuji with her own strength.She thought that something like a god was far inferior to a monster who had cultivated for a long time to take human form.
Zhuji hugged Jinyuji's arm, shook her head and said, "No, no, he is a god, we can't beat him."
Jinyu Ji was not convinced: "We are not weak at all, I even caught a ghost last time."
"But..." Zhuji hesitated, and let go of Jinyu Ji's hand, not knowing how to deal with it for a while.Two-faced Buddha is a combination of Thunder God and Fengshen, so its strength should not be underestimated. Last time it was Jinyu Ji who was carrying out a surprise attack and captured the Two-faced Buddha and Yasha together. This time, the target was Huang, who didn't even know his strength. She felt that it would not be feasible for Jinyu Ji to go up to fight rashly.
But what can be done?She can't escape anywhere now, unless she jumps into the sea.
jump into the sea...
Zhuji looked back at the calm ocean.
Yes, only by jumping into the sea can he not find it.Zhuji discovered a new hiding place, and rushed there desperately, preparing for a leap of faith.
The moment the sea breeze blew, the sky was covered by stars, and the large sea in front of him disappeared.
Zhuji was stunned for a moment, her waist was hugged tightly, her body lightened, her feet left the ground, and she was picked up by someone!
"Ah!" She screamed, and when she turned around, she met a familiar and handsome face, "Lord Heaven's Punishment!"
"Why do you hide?" Huang tried his best to suppress his anger, not wanting to scare the timid Zhuji.
After being covered by the illusion, the surrounding things are also real. If you are not careful, you may hit a rock or a big tree at any time.If Zhuji ran a few more steps, she would sink in the sea. Huang didn't want to see Zhuji go to such a dangerous place to avoid him.
Zhuji didn't speak, she lowered her head and didn't look at Huang's expression again.
Jinyu Ji, who was about to go out, couldn't find the direction to go back. When she turned back, she saw that tall man bullying Zhu Ji again.She was upset, and ordered the ugly goldfish to spray the mucus.
"Let go of Zhuji-chan!! Damn tall man!!" Jinyu Ji shouted from a distance, she didn't seem to dare to approach.
Huang easily dodged the sudden slime, and then focused his attention on Zhuji, saying: "I fulfilled my promise and returned Huang to you, so why are you hiding again and refusing to face him?"
Zhuji covered her face: "I, I, I... I don't know!"
"Do you regret it?" Huang murmured.
She really regretted it a bit, if she knew Ara was a god from the beginning, she would not have approached her, but it seems too late to say such a thing now.
"Can you let Zhu Ji down?" Zhu Ji carefully met Huang's eyes, and in his eyes, she could see her own appearance.
"No." Huang said firmly.
Zhuji struggled desperately: "It will be seen, it will be seen by the gods! Huang will definitely be seen by them..."
"You don't need to worry about this kind of thing, as long as you promise to appear in my sight range from now on." Huang did not allow Zhuji to go to a place that he couldn't see or protect.
Zhuji's eyes sparkled, Huang's words made it even more difficult for her to make a choice.
Can she really cultivate into a god?If she is really as hateful as the Kitchen God said, and offended many people, then the road ahead will only be more difficult.
No, you must be patient!Although Huang is very gentle, she cannot be defeated!The relationship between her and Huang only needs to reach this level, neither a lover nor an enemy.
"Tall man! Tall man! I'm going to lose my temper!" Jinyu Ji yelled while avoiding her feet, "Mr. Jinyu, hurry up and spray the slime! Make sure to get Zhuji Jiang back!"
Ugly Goldfish sprayed furiously, regardless of Zhuji's safety.
Although Huang dodges quickly, he always holds someone in his arms, so he has many scruples.The spray is getting denser and denser, and some of them can automatically track and turn, avoiding the back and not being able to avoid the front.
Takehime's little finger was forced to stick with goldfish mucus, and that tiny drop of mucus began to corrode her skin.
"Weak and stupid." In order to avoid hurting Zhu Ji again, Huang finally put her down and focused on fighting Jinyu Ji.
This time, Jinyu Ji completely angered Huang.He conjured meteors in his mudra, and let the meteors fall straight down from the sky.
The "Flying Immortal" above the head landed, even if Mr. Jinyu was asked to stop it, it would not be able to stop the fatal damage! Jinyu Ji was stunned, and there seemed to be a powerful force around her to prevent her from escaping.
Zhuji hugged Huang from behind, crying and begging: "Master Heaven's Punishment, please don't kill Jinyu Jijiang... I, I will definitely stay in the bamboo forest and be seen by you."
Lying is not a good boy, but lying to save someone is a different definition.
Huang recovered the illusion, and the meteor dissipated in mid-air.He knelt down and wiped away the tears from the corners of Zhuji's eyes with his hands, then gently hugged her into his arms.
"I haven't written anything today, can I write with Zhuji after God's Punishment is finished?" Zhuji tried her best to put on a cute smile, but she was actually very unhappy.I don't know when it started, Huang became different from before.This change was very subtle, and Zhuji couldn't detect anything wrong.
Unexpectedly, Huang refused to agree to Zhuji's request.
"Go later, I'll ask Arakawa to come and take her away." Arakawa whistled, and a small dragon flew out of the sea.He stuck a bead into the dragon's claw, and the dragon flew away again.
"Don't get close to Zhuji anymore! She hates you very much now, big villain!" Jinyu Ji was furious, knowing that this tall man would only let a big man come over to deal with her!
Fortunately, however, it was not a collection of corpses.
While Jinyu Ji was feeling overwhelmed, she also noticed that Zhu Ji's location happened to be a reef on the beach.She suddenly leaned over wittily, winked at Zhuji, and said: "Zhuji sauce is not cute at all, she just wants to deceive people, you obviously want to take the cheat book to your father to read it, and when you meet him Let’s talk about writing. It’s too disrespectful!”
Zhuji actually understood Jinyuji's meaning, she immediately relayed it to Huang and said: "Master Heaven's Punishment, Zhuji must show loyalty, can I go to daddy?"
"No." Huang had already guessed the careful thoughts of the two of them. Once Zhuji went to Wannianzhu, he couldn't go in and out at will. It would be even more difficult to see Zhuji.
There is no other way, this man's possessiveness is so strong, no one else can compare.Jinyu Ji grasped the gap where Huang was least vigilant, and suddenly raised her arms and shouted: "Since that's the case! Let's work together!!"
"Add...add, come on!!" Zhuji responded softly.
Jinyu Ji threw off her fan with all her strength, and it landed on Huang's face.
Huang was confused.With sharp eyes and quick hands, Jinyu Ji dragged Zhu Ji to jump up into the sea, and there was no splash when she fell into the water.
They won!
In the deep sea, Jinyu Ji returned to her original shape.Her original form is a small red koi carp, her body is too small to carry Zhuji away.
But for some reason, Zhuji can breathe freely in the water without a tail, and she even swims faster than Jinyuji.If she didn't know her origin, she would think that she was also an aquatic monster.She played with Jinyu Ji in the sea, bubbling out of her mouth when talking, and the sea water just couldn't get into her mouth and nose.
There is a palace in the sea, surrounded by a huge enchantment, and there is a huge earth dragon wandering outside the enchantment.The dragon circled around and stared at Zhuji and the others for a while, and after Zhuji swam through this area, the dragon returned to its post.
Of course, Zhuji and the others couldn't find the dragon.
There should be the legendary Great God of Haiyuan living below... Zhuji remembered the book of the gods, which recorded stories about the god of the sea, but she didn't read much.Generally speaking, she copied no more than ten chapters from the book, and her memory was not very good, so she memorized it for nothing.
They swam for a long time without knowing where they were going. They just swam from the vast ocean to the gradually narrowing river.When Jinyu Ji touched the land, she reminded Zhu Ji to get ashore quickly.
Jinyu Ji changed into a human form again, touched a reed, and fell to the ground exhausted, panting, her clothes were soaked.
It was still daytime outside, and the sun was shining brightly.
"Huh... finally escaped, but my fan was taken away by the tall man! I can no longer summon Mr. Goldfish!" Jinyu Ji turned over, letting the sun shine on her wet clothes.
Zhuji directly took off her coat, spread it flat on the ground, hugged her knees and sat down: "Don't be sad, the cheat book is still there. But where is this place? I really want to talk to my father."
She took out the soaked "cheat book" and put it in the sun to dry.Strangely, the color paint in the book did not smudge because of the wet water, and the drawings on it were still clearly visible.
It really is a magical book!Takehime couldn't help sighing.
----------
Sunny and windy.When the clothes were almost dried, Jinyu Ji collapsed on the ground and fell asleep.
Zhuji leaned down and touched her forehead.
It's very hot, just like what Granny Tang said about having a fever.
Did you have a fever from being frightened by Huang?Indeed, sometimes Huang is really fierce, and she is actually very scared.That meteor would kill someone, but luckily Jinyu Ji was fine, otherwise she would feel restless.
"Goldfish Ji...does the hot head have a fever?" Zhuji held Jinyu Ji's hand, trying to use healing techniques to make her recover.The problem is that Zhu Ji's remaining demon power is running out, and she can only bear half of Jinyu Ji's pain.
Jinyu Ji patted her face to cheer her up, she jumped up and patted her buttocks, said with her hands on her hips, "No, how can I, the cutest person in the world, have a fever! Get up, we have to ask where this is .”
It's great to see Jinyu Ji in high spirits.Zhuji breathed a sigh of relief, put on her dry coat, tidied her hair, and walked forward hand in hand with Jinyu Ji.
Jinyu Ji staggered when she got up, and she seemed to be in a daze, which made Zhuji very worried.She planned to find a hotel to rest for a while, and let Jinyu Ji recover from her illness before leaving this place to find Wannianzhu.
They came to a market from a remote suburb.
This market is very busy, and there are shouts everywhere.The izakayas on the street are full of people, and some people get drunk and make trouble in broad daylight.
There's a drunk guy in just a thong, and when he sees a woman, he puts his arms around it and vomits on someone else.A samurai with a knife cut off one of the drunk's arms on the spot.The drunk's arm was severed, and a lot of blood flowed out all the way.He fell to the ground in pain, screaming, and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
The action of the samurai ushered in the applause of passers-by.
Zhuji dragged Jinyuji around and stopped in an alley, patting her chest.
Humans are really scary, so why not stay in a hotel, or rest in a grove?But what if Xiao Shulin also encounters this kind of person with a knife?
----------
From the end of the alley came slowly a thin man carrying a basket.The smell of candies came from his basket, and when Jinyu Ji sniffed it, she didn't feel sleepy at all.
The thin man smiled and put down the basket, took out two bunches of red candies, and said, "Little girls, do you want to buy apple candies?"
"I want to eat, I want to eat!" Jinyu Ji swallowed, her eyes were shining, and she tugged on Zhu Ji's sleeve.
Zhuji subconsciously reached into her sleeve, and took out, but nothing came out.She whispered to Jinyu Ji: "But I don't have any money, I can't get money for this dress."
"Then forget it..." Jinyu Ji was a little disappointed, "Actually, it doesn't matter if I eat a few less. Anyway, I have a lot at home. The most important thing now is to find your father and give him the cheat book."
Although she had very meaningless words on her lips, her eyes stared at the apple candy in the basket from time to time.
Zhuji searched carefully for the sleeves, but still couldn't find any money.She had no choice but to tear off the salted fish-shaped hair ornament on her head, and spread it out in the palm of her hand for the thin man to see: "Can the hair ornament be changed? Although I don't know if it's worth it, there are a few pearls inlaid here."
The thin man shook his head: "Pearl's words are too precious, and we ordinary people can't spend them, so just give a few copper coins and Tongbao to keep it."
"I don't want to eat, you can ask someone else." Jinyu Ji blushed, a little embarrassed, turned her head and pushed Zhu Ji to the other side, "Zhu Ji Jiang, let's go!"
Without money, it is difficult to move an inch. No matter in the world or in the Arakawa Valley, Jinyu Ji is a complete pauper.She has no job, no income, and no treasure map, so she often goes to Arakawa's house to eat, drink, and live.
To conquer the world, you must have funds!She will work hard to grab money with Zhuji!Candy apples and so on can be eaten freely after conquering the world!
"What are you doing? No sweets are allowed on the streets of Kumamoto Castle, haven't you seen the ban?" The thin man was grabbed by the collar by a samurai.
Zhuji and Jinyuji turned around together when they heard the sound.
It was the samurai just now!
Next to him was a man with a head and a head, who was as thin as a stick, with a slightly hunched back, and a short ponytail tied on the back of his head.He was pushing down and crushing the baskets of candy apples.The red sugar scum sticks to the ground, which is very ugly.
"In my opinion, if you take it back and beat it, your memory will be long. The untouchables are all the same." Leaning against the wall, the thin warrior kicked the thin man's ass, seeing the man's face on the apple candy residue, Then he laughed loudly.
After being insulted, the thin man cried and begged for mercy: "I beg you two warriors to forgive me!" He quickly took out a heavy sack from his pocket and handed it to the warrior. .
The slightly handsomer samurai weighed the weight of the sack and winked at the skinny samurai.
The thin samurai kicked again and said, "Go away!"
The emaciated man staggered away, and fell several times.After being caught this time, he probably won't sell apple candy anymore, because the lord of Kumamoto City hates candy.
The special hobbies of the city lord prevented the entire Kumamoto city from making sugar and buying and selling candies.Originally, the business of sugar merchants was very booming, but since the newly appointed city lord issued a ban, the sales of these sugar merchants were cut off.In order to make a living, sugar sellers can only sell secretly in these alleys, and it is their bad luck to be caught.
After finishing one, the two warriors went forward to block the way of Zhuji and Jinyuji, saying: "Also, you two, buying and selling sweets is against the law."
If you know it, run away!You shouldn't be watching the show!
One thing more is worse than one thing less, Zhuji imitated the sugar seller just now, and obediently put the hair ornament inlaid with a few pearls into the hand of the handsome warrior: "I'm sorry, we don't know, can you spare us?" ? I'll give you something valuable too."
"What's breaking the rules, overlord, rascal!" Jinyu Ji pouted, feeling sorry for Zhu Ji's hair accessory.
"Seeing that you are dressed like a princess from a noble minister's family, how come you don't know the prohibition?" The handsome and upright warrior looked Zhuji up and down, thinking that her status should not be low, at least a princess above the status of a minister.
The embroidery and texture on her clothes are also rare among nobles, and they are probably the latest styles.Although this hair accessory looks strange, the pearls on it are not fake.After this round of observation, the samurai did not dare to act rashly, so it is better to ask more clearly.
Zhuji looked down at her clothes, she didn't think there was anything wrong, anyway, she usually wears like this.Moreover, this dress was not given, and the quality was very good, but she still missed the original set of golden silk, because she could change the item space at will.
"Because we just came here, so we don't know yet." Zhuji was confused, and said something that made the truth clear.
Jinyu Ji went crazy, and hit Zhu Ji's shoulder with her weak fist: "Idiot, idiot! He's trying to trick you! Why do you say we are from other places!"
"Eh? Wouldn't it be better to be honest?" Zhu Ji was confused.
"Okay, you can go now. Don't buy sweets anymore. The city lord doesn't like his people to eat things that are harmful to the body." The samurai didn't pursue it any further. The oldest girl looked only 15 years old. Looking up and down, even if it is a little smaller, it can't be seen that it will be a person who does bad things.Coupled with not knowing their identities, the samurai did not dare to act rashly, so it was fine to harvest a few pearls in this way.
Zhuji only walked a few steps, then turned back and asked the samurai, "Well... Excuse me, what is this place?"
"Of course this is Kumamoto Castle. You're not a local. Could it be that you ran away from home?" The thin samurai beside him smiled wretchedly.He really wanted to touch this girl's delicate skin and tender flesh, but it's better not to have too many hands when facing a person of unknown origin.
"Thank you, I see." Zhu Ji ran back to Jinyu Ji and told her the address here.
Jinyu Ji had never heard of Kumamoto Castle, and she didn't know where to go.She jumped a few steps irritably, and Arakawa's album fell from her body.
The book was facing up, and when the wind blew, it opened to the middle page.
Even an adult understands that this book is full of vivid content.They saw with their own eyes that Jinyu Ji picked up the book and calmly hugged it to her chest.
"This... this..." The two warriors looked at each other, speechless, absolutely unimaginable.
Zhuji and the others hadn't gone far when they stopped them again.The thin samurai pressed the knife on his waist and said, "Stop, stop! Show us what that book is!"
Jinyu Ji was not happy, so they grabbed her hard.The thin samurai casually flipped through a few pages, and then his eyes widened.He wiped his nosebleeds, stuffed the book into his bag, trembling his lips, and said, "It's unreasonable! You carry such a dirty book with you at such a young age!"
"Could it be another scholar who sells banned books?" the handsome warrior thought.
Recently, a scholar appeared in Kumamoto City. He often wandered around the city during the day, and when he met people in need, he would sell banned|books to earn that kind of filthy money.
Although there used to be such scholars who sold drugs privately in the past, it is different now. As soon as the new city lord took office, he ordered the detention and arrest of scholars who traded bad things, and cleared the place of Fireworks and Willow Alley.
In order to rectify the unhealthy atmosphere left by history in the city, the new city lord issued many prohibitions and sent warriors to patrol everywhere. Anyone who violated the contents of the prohibitions would be arrested and educated in prison.Recently, he has started to build shrines to worship the gods who helped Kumamoto open the city, so as to consolidate his dominance.
"Take it back together, maybe it's an accomplice. The city lord doesn't like to see disharmonious mouse droppings in the city." The handsome samurai said.
The two warriors pulled out their knives and laid them across the necks of Zhuji and Jinyuji.Jinyu Ji resisted for a while, and her wrists were tied behind her back.She had a fever, and everything she saw was blurred. Since she had been away from the water for too long, Jinyu Ji couldn't hold on anymore, and she was staggeringly let on by the skinny warrior.
Zhuji was angry: "You are not allowed to do this!" She pushed the handsome warrior away from the bondage with both hands, opened her mouth and bit the warrior's arm forcefully.
The handsome samurai screamed in pain, kicked Zhuji away, and slapped her hard several times, then tore off the chains that he carried with him and wrapped them around her legs tightly.
"Gather a few more people! Tie them back!" the handsome warrior said angrily.The tooth marks on his arm were red and purple, and gradually turned black.
--------
The cell was built underground, and there was no ventilation, and the candles were often extinguished because of this, and the whole cell was pitch black.
Few of those imprisoned made it out alive.It is said that Kumamoto City is going to be rectified, but the so-called education and reform of those who violated the law is actually torture, and after they are disabled, they will be sent home, so that they will no longer be able to cause trouble.
Zhuji was forced to go into the dungeon, and all the "prisoners" in the cage stared at her, but this "staring" was neither enthusiasm nor hatred, but indifference.Almost all of them were wounded, but none of them was moaning in pain.
She and Jinyu Ji were thrown into an empty cell.The cells next to each other are for "female prisoners" and the cells opposite are for "male prisoners".
"It turns out that they can even catch little girls, and the city lord is quite capable." A well-built "female prisoner" in the cell next door said with a smile.
This "female prisoner" was sitting in a corner, with torn clothes on her chest, not much cloth hanging on her body, and her belly was still swollen, as if she was pregnant.From this, one can probably imagine that she has suffered a great insult, and the imprint of this insult will remain in the place where life was born.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Zhuji still couldn't believe how terrifying the cell described in the book was.
Jinyu Ji lay on the ground, weakly retorted: "That's not true! It's too hot outside, we just came here to cool off. Master Jinyu Ji won't be easily caught by them... catch..."
"Jinyu Jijiang..." Zhuji tried to break free from the chains on her hands and feet, but she didn't have enough strength.
"It can't be done, I can't hold on without being out of the water for too long. It would be great if there was a pool..." Jinyu Ji panted heavily, looking very hard.She closed her eyes, as if there was a clear river in front of her eyes, she was playing with sister Li Yujing and Kappa...
Is it a revolving door?
The cutest me in the world has finally come to an end... Jinyu Ji's eyelids are heavy, she can no longer open them, and her breathing becomes weak.
Zhuji moved over and held Jinyuji's hand again, to see if she could use the healing technique to make Jinyuji feel a little better.But it turns out that Takehime is really not good at healing pain like symptoms.
In the cell opposite, there was a man writing. Unlike most "prisoners", he had paper and pens by his side, dressed in elegant clothes, and looked elegant, like a scholar.
Now he has completely transcribed what Jinyu Ji just said on paper.After he finished writing, he murmured to the piece of paper: "So it turns out that Jinyu Ji is a goldfish monster, and it should be the herbal monster that will be cured."
"What are you remembering?" Zhuji let go of Jinyu Ji's hand, moved to the iron gate, and stretched her neck to try to read what was written on it.But they are too far away, and the characters are too small to read clearly.
"Write a Book of Hundred Ghosts." The scholar took a new piece of paper from the side and rubbed the ink, "If you are interested, you can also tell me about your affairs, so that I can write a book in the Book of Hundred Ghosts." Add more interesting content to it.”
"Zhuji, I seem to be dying... Huh... It's so hard to breathe..." Jinyu Ji couldn't hold on any longer, her body was weak and she was about to return to her original shape soon.
"Zhu Ji will take you away now." Zhu Ji was worried about Jinyu Ji's safety, so she began to knock on the chains connecting the iron gate with her hand wrapped in chains, but the iron gate remained motionless.
The strength is too small!A strong man can break things constantly, let alone a girl who has no strength to restrain a chicken.
"With your strength, it can't be broken. This is a prison cell, and the iron gate is as solid as a rock." The scholar stopped writing, admiring the girl's persistence.
Of course, Zhuji's purpose of beating the chain was not to break it, but to attract the attention of those patrolling jailers. Although she was usually stupid, she still understood such a simple truth.
Sure enough, the jailer came after hearing the noise.
"Hey! Who is so noisy!"
"Please, let us go out, my friend can't hold on any longer." Zhuji begged.
The jailer refused straight away: "No, it's up to the city lord to let him go. We don't have the right, and it's none of our business to die in the cell."
"At the very least, I have to report it. They are not evil people, and they may have status." The scholar wrote a short sentence on the paper, and then said: "Of course, this is just a humble opinion. Lord Jailer can ignore it."
The scholar's tone is very calm, he is obviously meddling in other people's affairs, but he can act as if he is out of it, he is not an easy person.
The jailer hesitated for a while, and then took a closer look at Zhuji's attire. It was indeed different from those civilian "prisoners" who had just come in.He waved to another jailer outside the cell, gesturing to report something about the girl to the city lord.
Not long after, the person who had gone out to report hurried back and whispered a few words in the jailer's ear.
The jailer pointed at Zhu Ji and said, "You, come with me to meet the Lord City Master."
Zhuji asked: "Is it just me?"
The jailer opened the iron prison with a key, and then unchained Zhuji's hands and feet, and said, "The city lord only wants to see you, and he didn't say he would summon anyone else."
"Then I'd better not leave, or take a bucket of water and put it here." Zhuji ran back to the corner of the cell, hugging Jinyu Ji, motionless.
The jailer is also very difficult to do. The city lord only confessed that he wanted to see the girl with long hair and wearing a pink kimono, but she refused to come out now, so what should I do?
It would be a capital offense not to take her there, and it would be a breach of duty if both of them followed her. Now he is in a dilemma.In desperation, he promised Zhuji to give Jinyuji a bucket of water.
A pot-bellied bucket full of water was picked up.
As soon as Jinyu Ji saw the water, she soaked her head in it and drank a few gulps.She collapsed on the ground again, took a deep breath, and felt as if she was alive.
After such a commotion, everyone in the cell knew that they were monsters, but everyone didn't react much, and they were not used to seeing them.Because it is human beings that are more terrifying than ghosts, ghosts and gods. Any ferocious ghosts and beasts are not as good as human fingers and tails.Since they can endure the inhuman torture in the cage, why are they afraid of ghosts?
Although Zhuji agreed to go with the jailer, she was very vigilant all the way.But among them, who is staying away from whom, when Zhu Ji followed closely, the jailer would go a few steps further, specifically not to let Zhu Ji get close to him.
I heard that the samurai who brought her back today died while eating.
He also heard that the samurai's death was miserable, the tooth marks on his arm were rotten, eroding his entire hand, and then his neck, face, eyes, all the way to the end.
No wonder the Lord of the City met her in person, is it really something ominous?
After going around a few times, they arrived at the northwest corner, which was the palace of the city lord.
Natsume Hideaki, the lord of Kumamoto Castle, was sitting in front of the screen, the fan in his hand was constantly shaking.Beside him were two maids kneeling and sitting, fanning him too.
In Kumamoto, summer is stuffy, winter is cold, and it rains in March.During the September harvest, there was a torrential rain that lasted for more than ten days, and the crops were soaked to death. Instead of reducing the tax this season, it became more and more burdensome.
Natsume Hideaki can't talk about loving the people like a son, but he really worked hard for the construction of Kumamoto Castle.Although he said many times, "Stupid people, those taxes will be useful to build shrines in the future!" But the common people still can't understand this ambitious new city lord, thinking that he is a tyrant and a faint king.
Today, the shrine was completed and the weather turned fine.Natsume Hideaki will also meet their god in person.
"Where did the kid come from?" As soon as Natsume Hideaki spoke, the flesh on his face trembled.
That's right, you can't eat candy anymore. When he was a child, his father couldn't help producing candy, which made him what he is today.
"We saw apple candy sellers on the street..." The thin warrior bowed his head, not daring to look at people when he spoke.
"Speak the key."
"Met in the street."
Natsume Hideaki slapped the table and said angrily: "What a waste! What are you making her kneel on? Get the mat!"
"Yes!"
The maid beside Natsume Hideaki brought a cushion from behind the screen, pushed it respectfully in front of Takehime, and said, "Princess, please use it."
Zhuji "enjoyed" the cushion in a daze, and it was still very comfortable to sit on.
Natsume Hideaki closed his fan, moved his fat body, pressed his chest, and said excitedly: "Princess Yuyi came to my Kumamoto today, what a great fortune!"
"What?" Zhuji was even more confused.
That person mentioned Yu Yiji again, it's really strange...
"Thanks to you, the First Lord was able to complete the great cause." Natsume Hideaki patted his fan excitedly, "As for the restoration of the shrine, we will finish it as soon as possible, and please wait patiently, princess."
I saw that Natsume Hideaki asked someone to bring a statue, and the statue was carved with the appearance of Yu Yiji, which was lifelike, "We have carved out a wooden statue according to your portrait, and then we will distribute it to every citizen. Let them worship at home every day."
Natsume Hideaki talked more and more vigorously, and seemed to want to tell Yu Yiji all his "achievements" verbatim, trying to increase her favor.
Zhuji is very aware of her situation, she is in a far away city right now, talking to the lord of Kumamoto Castle, and this lord is asking her to be the god of Kumamoto Castle.
Seems pretty good too...
At least Jinyu Ji can find a place to rest and recuperate.
"That's it..." Zhuji nodded, "Can I build a pool? It's too much, but my good friend really needs it."
"Of course, of course! The princess dare not neglect for a moment." Natsume Hideaki turned and shouted to the samurai guarding outside: "Did you hear that? Don't take a snapshot of the princess's order."
Zhuji paused, and suddenly said: "Where is the newly built shrine? Let's build one over there. It's better to plant some water flowers... Ah! I'm sorry! I said too much!"
Upon hearing her request, Natsume Hideaki became nervous again, "You, quickly contact the gardener!" Natsume Hideaki directed the man's arm to shake violently.
The author has something to say: Kumamoto Castle did exist in history, but there are very few records. It is probably the current Kumamoto Prefecture. The Kumamoto bear we know is the mascot of Kumamoto Prefecture.
PS: Thanks to all the little angels who made the first order, this is very important for author Ji's future lists. (bow)
In the future, I will maintain daily shifts and full attendance, and the quality of the essays will be much, much, much better than the trial reading part~
PPS: Yuzao’s former little brother is very handsome, I want him to appear on the stage.
