【Touken Ranbu】Construction of Socialist Honmaru

The weather in May is as unpredictable as a child's face.The sun was just showing its head, but in a blink of an eye, it began to rain. Honmaru was shrouded in a faint misty rain, and the fiery red pomegranate flowers swayed with the raindrops.

Lin Mu invited the female judges from the nearby Honmaru to eat Sophora japonica pancakes, chatting and exchanging information with each other.She seemed to be born with the ability to make people happy, the girls' charming laughter and fights could be heard in the room, and the whole morning passed, and when she was about to leave, someone had already called her sister.

After sending away the female god judges in the nearby Honmaru one after another, Lin Mu called Izumi Mori Kanesada to clean up the room with her.Today was his close attendant, Lin Mu and Horikawa tied a small braid for him, and for the sake of convenience, they simply tied his hair into a ponytail, looking extraordinarily heroic.The female judges who came today looked at him curiously, and they all expressed that they would let their family and Izumi Mori Kanesada try this hairstyle after returning home.

Although the girls are elegant, they can also chat and eat.Debris littered the floor, books were stacked in corners, and cushions were strewn here and there.Izumi Mori Kanesada bent down to pick up the littered cushions, piled them into a stack and put them in the cabinet, while Lin Mu poured out the half-drunk scented tea, and cleaned the debris with a wet rag.

"Cough...cough." Lin Mu coughed twice, tightening the shawl on her body. It was the season change recently, and her throat was uncomfortable, as if she had a cold.

"Are you okay?" Hearing the voice, Izumi Mori Kanesada untied his haori and put it on her body, frowning and asked, "Are you uncomfortable?"

"I have a cold." Lin Mu returned the haori to him, "It doesn't matter, it's a season change, I probably have a cold."

"Cough, cough." While talking, Lin Mu coughed twice, she felt fine, and Izumi Mori Kanesada showed excessive nervousness, Haori wrapped her up and took her by the hand to find Yakuken.

"It really doesn't matter," Lin Mu tried hard to swallow the cough in his throat, "If you don't take medicine for a cold, you will get better in seven days."

Izumi Mori Kanesada stopped, stretched out his hand and picked up Lin Mu like a sack, and continued to look for Yaken Toshiro, "Then go and take the medicine."

"Hey, put me down...cough, cough." Lin Mu lay on his shoulder and covered his lips, "I feel sick to my stomach."

Izumi Mori Kanesada put her down and stared at her irresistibly.

Lin Mu was seen as helpless, so he had to raise his hand in surrender, "Okay, I'll go take the medicine."

Only then did Izumi Mori Kanesada loosen her brows, narrowed her eyebrows slightly, put her hands in his wide sleeves to keep warm, and went straight to Yaken Toshiro.

In the end, Lin Mu was pinned under the quilt and took two aspirin.

It's too much fuss... Lin Mu couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't know why he was so nervous, "Okay, okay, I've taken the medicine, I can't sleep now, can I get up?"

"I'll fall asleep later." Izumi Mori Kanesada helped her tuck the corner of the quilt tightly, "Sleep as you sleep."

"It's just a cold." Lin Mu muttered softly, his half-covered eyelashes cast a shadow like a small fan, "Colds won't kill you."

"I know." Izumi Mori Kanesada leaned over to look at her, "But you've been too tired lately."

"I wear less clothes and less sleep, so it's no wonder I don't catch a cold." Izumi Mori Kanesada showed a tough attitude, "Sleep first, and then look after waking up."

Lin Mu couldn't resist him, and with the effect of the medicine, he fell asleep in a daze.In her sleep, it seemed that someone was gently touching her forehead to test the temperature, and someone whispered a few words, opened the barrier door and walked out.However, someone has been silently guarding her by her side, and Lin Mu slept very soundly in this reassuring atmosphere.

She really hasn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.

Perhaps since the day she became sensible, it has been difficult for her to sleep ignorantly and feel at ease.Children who are hardworking when they are young are always more lovable. Only by getting up early to help can they get more attention. When they grow up, they are busy with study and work to support themselves, and deep sleep is a luxury.

She really didn't think the cold was a big problem.You have to work even if you have a cold, how can a person be so delicate in this world, she doesn't have the capital to be so delicate.

So she slept in a dark sleep this time, because she knew that someone was guarding her, so she let herself fall into a deep sleep unscrupulously.

She thought she was dreaming.

It's fine to dream of anyone, it's normal to dream of anyone.Maybe it should be a dream of celebrating the New Year with the teacher and wife, maybe it should be a dream of her cat jumping on her lap in the afternoon, maybe it should be a dream of getting together with her rare friends... After all, this is one of the few times she used to. What a happy memory.

But neither.She was just sleeping, black sweet dream.Boundless darkness enveloped her dreams, she couldn't think of anything, she couldn't remember anything.

This feeling seems like a lifetime away.It was already midnight when Lin Mu woke up, someone was guarding her with a knife, and the chickens kept pecking at the rice.

Fluffy and shaggy blue ponytail, a mole at the corner of the eye on a fair face, wearing a blue blouse and a gray horse riding hakama, the person guarding her is actually Yamato Shou'an.

Lin Mu realized immediately.

Although she knew little about the original owner of the swords, that young man who looked like a falling cherry blossom was quite famous.

Numerous literary works praise his genius life, and will certainly describe his withering.

Izumi Mori Kanesada is Hijikata Toshizo's sword, and he has a good relationship with Andy Kiyomitsu, because their original owners are also like-minded brothers.

...Is that why you are so nervous?Because it reminds you of...another person's pain?

Lin Mu touched her forehead to confirm that she was much better. She cleared her throat so that her voice would not be so hoarse, "Stability?"

"Here!" The boy with the blue ponytail woke up immediately, "Is the Lord better?"

"Yeah." Lin Mu sat up, "What time is it?"

"It's two o'clock." Anding yawned, and explained to Lin Mu, "At first, Jiansang was on guard, but after midnight, I will be my servant."

He showed his two small canine teeth and smiled, "So I drove him to sleep and took over from him to guard the lord."

"Go to sleep too." Lin Mu reached out to touch his fingers, and was startled by the coldness of his hands, "Why don't you move the quilt to wrap yourself up? It's so cold just sitting there."

Yamato Moran Ding waved his hand indifferently, "I'm fine, my lord needs to get better soon, or I'll die when Mr. Hasebe comes back tomorrow—"

After he finished speaking, he laughed first, and got up to pour water for Lin Mu.

There is no thermos, and the hot water that was boiled not long ago has become cold.Yamato Shou'an wrinkled his nose, turned his head and said to Lin Mu, "Master, let me go and boil another pot for you, can you wait?"

"It doesn't matter, it's okay to drink cold water...cough cough..." Lin Mu covered his mouth and waited for himself to calm down before continuing, "Just take a sip to moisten your throat, it doesn't matter if it's cold."

Yamato Moran was standing there clutching his cup, the light from the window sill cast a cool shadow on his face.

"Let's go burn it." He put down the cup and said in a low voice, "Master, wait a moment, I'll be right back."

"An Ding." Lin Mu called him, and said in a soft voice, "I'm a little hungry, why don't we both dress thickly and go to the kitchen to cook something hot and eat, and go to bed after eating, okay?"

Yamato Shouan couldn't deny it, went to the closet and found Lin Mu's big sweater and wrapped her tightly, "How about I go and wake up Mr. Candlestick Che?"

"It's too late, don't bother him with such a trivial matter," Lin Mu got up and turned out another sweater jacket, "You wear it too, go to the kitchen when you're done, and I'll teach you how to make rock sugar pears."

Yamato Shou Anding didn't even know when the family bought pears.He obediently put on Lin Mu's women's sweater. The two of them were about the same height, and he was wearing it just right.

Saying yes, Lin Mu didn't do anything at all, just sat on the stool and ordered An Ding, "Did you see the fruit in the second cabinet? Find two more bowls, and the rock sugar is in the third row of the cabinet below."

An Ding found out the pears, bowls and rock sugar, and Lin Mu ordered him to move one by one.

"Wash the pears and cut them into small pieces." Lin Mu walked over and rolled his sleeves into his arms. "The water must be boiled first, otherwise the pears will change color."

He hurriedly went to boil the water, and when the water boiled, he immediately began to peel the pears.

Fortunately, there is no technical content, the only content is to add rock sugar.Lin Mu stood aside and watched him holding the rock sugar as if he was facing an enemy, "Add a piece to each pear, and slide down the pot slowly, so as not to splash yourself."

After finally doing it well, An Ding let out a long sigh of relief.The kitchen was filled with the smell of pears, he spooned two bowls and put them on the table to eat with Lin Mu.

The warm, soft and sweet pears comforted the empty stomach. An Ding ate the pears first, and took another sip of sugar water, "The throat feels so comfortable."

"Bingtang Sydney, Chuanbei loquat and sorrel juice are all things that can relieve cough and reduce phlegm." Lin Mu sipped the pears to cool down, "If you feel uncomfortable, eat a little, it will be much better."

"That's it..." An Ding was a little dazed, staring at the pears in the bowl, wondering what to think, and finally he just said, "That's it."

"If..." He immediately stopped talking, "Well, it's delicious."

Lin Mu sighed silently in her heart, she smiled and patted An Ding's hand, "So An Ding must learn how to make it for people who like it in the future."

"Is there someone I like..." An Ding bit a pear, feeling a little gloomy, "There is no chance."

"There will be." Lin Mu rolled up the hair around his ears, and stirred the spoon in the bowl, "Who knows what will happen in the future."

She laughed, "Okay, I'm done eating, it's up to you to do the dishes."

"Go back to sleep after washing, don't stay with me." She rubbed Yamato Shou'an's frizzy hair, "But remember to fold the clothes and return them to me."

"Hmm... yes." An Ding replied softly.

So Lin Mu left, it was still raining outside the corridor, and the dripping raindrops were like someone's scattered memories.

She stood on the porch watching the rain for a while, then gently closed the door and went to sleep.

Facing the troubled times, I feel sad for thousands of years.

Is it troubled times now?yes.
