[Comprehensive] The Road to Healing in the Second Late Stage

Tsurumaru stood under the eaves of the corridor, looking up at the crescent moon in front of him slightly.

The child held in Sanriyue's arms leaned on his shoulder and was sound asleep. Sanriyue moved her arms, and Qinghe woke up from her sleep, looking around with sleepy eyes.

She soon found a person standing opposite her, wearing a white haori, with exquisite eyebrows and eyes.

Tsurumaru held out his hand to her, Haruhe hesitated for a while before reaching out to hold one of his fingers, and then shook it.

Tsurumaru's eyes were full of smiles: "Master, I am Tsurumaru Kuninaga."

Qinghe heard her childish voice calling: "Tsuru Wan."

After experiencing the death of her parents in this life, Qinghe didn't know that she went back in time several times, and finally returned to the source of the past.When she regained consciousness, her parents had passed away, and she saw Sanriyue as soon as she opened her eyes, and the time went back here and stopped.

In her previous life, she was a premature baby, but she was born in a shrine with abundant spiritual power. The swords told her her name. Qinghe was young and could not control the spiritual power. When she shook hands with the swords for the first time, she would transfer the spiritual power to Make a contract.

In the fourth year of staying in the past, Qinghe slowly walked out of the shadow of the death of her parents in her previous life and present life.

After making a contract with Tsurumaru, Mikazuki called Yaken and asked him to take Tsurumaru around, while he walked casually in the courtyard with Qinghe in his arms.

It's spring, and cherry blossom petals are flying all over the sky.

Qinghe sat on Sanriyue's arm, relying on his height to look down at the ground, the petal fell between Sanriyue's arms, Qinghe helped him pick it up and threw it away, and accidentally touched the bell and made a "jingling" sound.

Qinghe didn't pay attention to it at first, but after raising his hand, the bell shook a few times by itself, and the sound of "jingle bell" continued to ring. This was the first time Qinghe heard the bell ringing after going back so many times in time.

An hour has passed in reality.

Sanriyue looked down at her wrist, Qinghe hurriedly raised her hand and rang the bell vigorously, "Zong Jin Zong Jin, I want to be higher, higher."

Sanriyue smiled helplessly, and lifted her up as promised. Qinghe took advantage of the situation and grabbed a branch of the cherry blossom tree, and quickly picked a cherry blossom.

The cherry blossoms fell on the palm of my hand, and the sound of the bell stopped.

Sankaiyue called the other daggers over and asked Qinghe to play with them.Qinghe quarreled with them all day, and the temperature dropped sharply at night, and she caught a cold gloriously.

The illness came on suddenly, and Qinghe was so feverish that she was unconscious, and lying in the quilt, she felt stuffy and hot.

Hasebe coaxed her to drink the medicine, Qinghe frowned and took a sip, "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Hasebe found a candy out of nowhere, held the candy in one hand and the medicine bowl in the other, and said in a persuasive manner: "My lord, after drinking the medicine, I will reward my lord with my favorite candy!"

Tears were still shining brightly in the corners of her eyes, Qinghe raised his eyes and looked at Hasebe, Hasebe has a rigorous personality, coaxing her to drink medicine made her face stiff, it was really embarrassing for him.

Qinghe obediently took the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp. Hasebe stuffed the candy into her mouth, patted her head, and praised: "My lord is a good boy."

Qinghe returned the bowl, sighing silently in her heart.

In her previous life, she was weak and sick. Whenever she was sick, the swordsmen would show sadness.After many times, Qinghe didn't want to worry about the swordsmen, and gradually learned to hold back, and finally learned to hold back.

That kind of character is not bad, but I met Akashi who has a strong personality and acts domineering.

In April 15, Qinghe was [-] years old and met Akashi for the first time.

Qinghe vaguely remembered that the real Chinese medicine research institute had told her that Akashi had entered the shrine by mistake.Yaken didn't lie to her, but he was talking about Akashi from his previous life.

One afternoon, the short swords went down the mountain to play, and accidentally found a wounded boy. Out of goodwill, they brought the boy back to the shrine.

The young man was not seriously injured, and he was able to walk around the next day. After obtaining permission, he went to the courtyard to enjoy the cherry blossoms.

At first, Qinghe only knew that the dagger saved someone, but she didn't know who it was. The next day, she got up and walked along the corridor to the hall.Just after turning a corner, she saw a figure in the corner of her vision.

The young man turned his back to Qinghe, and Qinghe saw his flamboyant red hair swaying in the wind, his back straight, but his figure was thin.

The young man's back was a bit unfamiliar, Qinghe guessed that it was the man rescued by the short knives, and kindly reminded: "It's windy outside, it's better to go back to the room."

The young man turned his head in response, his eyebrows and eyes were delicate, he looked carefully, and his expression was a little cautious and defensive.

Qinghe was taken aback, although Akashi looked exactly the same regardless of his previous life and present, but there were obvious differences between Akashi in his previous life, neither the gentleness of No.1 personality nor the ruthlessness of the second personality.

Concerned about meeting for the first time, Haruhe introduced himself politely, "I am Haruwa Asakawa, the owner of this shrine."

"Akashi Seijuro." That's all he said.

The cause of Akashi's injury is unknown, Yakuken made a diagnosis for him and said that he would have to recuperate for more than a month.

Akashi seldom comes out and walks around. Haruwa only thinks about the memories of the swordsmen, and worries that she will destroy the established facts if she acts casually.

One day when she was playing with the short knives, Sanriyue was sitting on the porch drinking tea, and Sanriyue opened the tea pot only to find that the tea was gone.

Knowing his habits, Qinghe volunteered to get a new one. Sanriyue called out behind her twice, but Qinghe didn't hear her because she ran away.

When she arrived at Sanriyue's room, she opened the closet and saw a row of identical tea cans, she was dumbfounded.

At this time, Akashi passed by the door and saw Qinghe opening all the tea pots, smelling this and that, as if playing a prank.

She didn't know that Sanriyue had collected so many new teas, and she didn't know how to tell them apart, so she froze in embarrassment, "Which one is it?"

She raised the tea pot in her hand and sniffed it, only to hear a voice behind her: "You can't tell the difference between tea just by smelling it."

Qinghe turned her head, Akashi bent over her and walked in slowly, "When choosing tea, you can properly observe the size and shape of the tea leaves, and..."

He talked a lot one after another. Hearing his professionalism, Qinghe handed over the tea pot cheekily, "Akashi-kun, I want Uji tea, can you please help me find it?"

Akashi nodded, poured out the tea in the tea pot, looked at it, and quickly found Uji tea.

Haruwa invites Akashi to take a walk in the garden.

Going back to the eaves, Sankaiyue was discussing something with Hasebe and others, Qinghe sat down next to Sankaiyue and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Hasebe replied: "Last year, the harvest of grain in the field was quite good, but other supplies in the shrine were in short supply. I wanted to discuss with His Highness Sankaiyue, whether we can sell the grain for an emergency fund."

Sanriyue looked at Qinghe, Qinghe's character in her previous life was loose at best, and indifferent to the things around her at worst, so she didn't have the slightest idea when it came to such important matters.

After the end of the Tokugawa period, the restoration period ushered in. The short-lived peace improved the lives of the people, and at the same time, the influx of Western culture brought a new look to society.

Qinghe knew that war would break out again in the near future. Food was equal to life in times of war, but money was also indispensable. It would be nice to be able to accumulate a sum of money before the war.

Qinghe wanted to agree, but worried that her impulsive words might change the past, so she forcibly resisted not opening her mouth.

At this time, Akashi said: "The shrine guards so much food. If you don't have enough strength to protect yourself, you will be coveted sooner or later. It's not a bad idea to use money to consolidate your position."

Akashi broke Haruwa's heart with a single word, and Qinghe almost stood up happily and applauded him vigorously.

However, there are not many people in the shrine who have the ability to do business, and the grain is piled up but cannot be sold. Just when he was frowning, Akashi came up with a few ideas, let the swords sell the grain to the government, so as to guarantee the funds source, but also to maintain the persistence of sales channels.

Dealing with the government is not an easy task. Haruwa was supposed to go to negotiate with the government, but Akashi took over this task.

When Akashi returned to the shrine with the contract signed with the government, it happened to be September in the golden autumn of the same year.

Akashi got off the carriage, his dazzling red hair fluttering in the wind, a smile finally appeared on his face, and the suit on his body made his face even more like a crown jade.

Memories of this moment flooded into my mind.

Her past self seemed to be merged with her present, and the violent heartbeat echoed in her mind, and Qinghe began to be unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.

When the first snow fell in winter, a strange man came to visit. Akashi was taken away by the man, and there was no news from him.

Goodbye Akashi, Qinghe is 17 years old.

After two years, the shrine quickly accumulated a considerable amount of wealth. Coupled with Haruwa's marriageable age, countless people from all walks of life came to propose marriage.

Qinghe rejected all the people who came to propose marriage, and felt that it was annoying for those people to come to the shrine all the time, so she deliberately found a day to take the daggers to the city to play.

Perhaps it was God's will, Qinghe and the dagger boys came out of a shop, Luan took the opportunity and ran to nowhere, Qinghe was anxious to find him everywhere, but when he looked up, he saw Akashi get off a car in the distance.

I haven't seen him for two years, Akashi has grown a lot in stature, and he looks like an elite in his suit and leather shoes.

Qinghe originally wanted to wave to him, but Akashi quickly walked past her and went straight into a bank.

Soon Qinghe heard from Yiqi Yizhen, who was in charge of finance, that Akashi had now become the heir of the famous Akashi family in Tokyo.

Qinghe smiled dryly: "That's also very good, it's better than staying in the shrine all the time, not to mention that father and son are finally reunited."

There was still an endless stream of people who came to propose marriage. At that time, Qinghe's physique was much healthier than when he was a child, but he was still used to complaining to the outside world, and directly pushed the matter of dealing with the marriage proposal to Sanriyue, and spent all day in his room reading and writing.

At that time, it was probably also the age of a young girl Huaichun, who was sad for the spring and the moon all day long, and longed for new things contradictoryly.

Akashi came to the shrine again, and then used the pretext of seeing the new world, attracting all the eyes of Haruwa.When I came back to my senses, I was actually going to talk about marriage.

Mikazuki didn't stop him, and when Akashi came to visit, he found a chance to be alone with Akashi for a while.

Qinghe didn't know it at first, and practiced calligraphy alone in the room.

A copybook hadn't been finished yet, Akashi pushed the door and walked in. Seeing her practicing calligraphy seriously, he knelt down in front of her and helped her sharpen the ink.

Akashi's sudden appearance not only didn't scare her, but let her enjoy his thoughtfulness safely, and filled the notebook slowly.

Qinghe put down his pen, looked up into Akashi's eyes, "Why are you here suddenly?"

Akashi replied briefly: "Father came to hire."

"Just disappear, okay?"

"I just want to see you." Akashi raised his hand and stroked her cheek gently, "I met Mr. Mikazuki not long ago."

Akashi was very calm, but Haruwa still asked, "Mongjin said something that made you unhappy?"

"No—" He suddenly frowned and smiled, "Mr. Sanriyue said that you are not suitable for me."

Qinghe asked: "What else?"

There was a smile in Akashi's eyes, and he always acted like a young man, but now he looked strangely childish, "I answered him, man will conquer nature."

What a sweet love story.

Qinghe remembered that when she heard this sentence back then, her heart was beating like thunder, and she leaned in front of him with flushed cheeks and kissed him.

Knowing that she should repeat the established facts, but when Qinghe really bent down, she stopped.

When did it start? Little by little, the past events took shape in her mind, and she gradually couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion.

She doesn't even know if she really likes Akashi, or if the memory of the past has made her delusional.

She began to lose track of Dazai's face.

Akashi raised his hand to hold her cheek, kissed her right cheek, and finished the next thing for her.

Suddenly, more strange memories flooded into her mind, and Qinghe's body froze suddenly.

In the previous life, Akashi's father made a lot of war fortune and accumulated a huge family business in just ten years.Akashi is the only son of his father's first wife. He lived in the countryside since he was a child. After his mother died, he went to Tokyo to find his father.

I didn't expect to be robbed by ronin near the shrine, and was rescued by short knives after being injured.The fact that he helped the shrine sell food shocked the political and business circles in Tokyo, which made his father find him.

Akashi's ambition did not stop him from "inheriting his father's business". After he obtained the status of a veritable heir, his behavior became more perverse and ruthless.

Qinghe is loose by nature. After marriage, he only wants to live a small life on one acre of land. He has a completely different idea from Akashi. Differences in thinking, less gatherings and more divorces lead to constant quarrels after half a year of marriage.

Qinghe is a premature baby who has always been in poor health. The doctor told her that her childbirth is risky and it is difficult to conceive.After three years of marriage and no childbirth, whether it is outside or inside the Akashi family, rumors about her gradually increased.

Haruwa and Akashi divorced amicably five months before her 20th birthday.

Haruwa suffered from mild depression and lived in the shrine for half a year when she suddenly wanted to go out to relax.Before leaving, he deliberately took sleep-promoting medicine from Yaoken. When he stopped in Kyoto for a while, he died of an accidental overdose one night.

Akashi noticed that Qinghe's body was stiff, and gently hugged her and patted her on the back, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Her eyes were sore, Qinghe tried her best to hold back her tears, "It's nothing, I'm fine."

The immaturity in the past led to a tragic end, and now she finally understands why Dazai and Crescent Moon want her to mature.

The bell had only been heard three times in 17 years, and she was so eager for the bell to ring at this very moment, Dazai was still waiting for her to go back and promised to give him a pension, how could he break his promise.

It took a while for Qinghe to clear up her emotions, and Akashi returned to Akashi's house after lunch, and she wandered around the back mountain alone.

Because she hadn't fully remembered the past, she didn't want to return to reality for a long time.Now that she knew it, she wanted it instead.

Qinghe raised her hand and shook the bell, but the bell didn't ring no matter how she shook it, instead the birds chirped in the mountains and forests one after another.

The flow of time is different between reality and the past. The last time I heard the bell was five years ago, but I don’t know why the bell has not rang during these five years.

At first, she didn't notice any difference, but after thinking about it carefully now, Qinghe broke out in a cold sweat.

... Is there an accident in reality?
