[Comprehensive] Doing a puzzle

The red sand scorpion left.

He was stunned by Quan's mysterious logic, completely fooled, and began to feel that "she was alive" was more valuable than "being made into a puppet".

Although Xie has changed from an old man lying on the ground to a beautiful boy, Quan's favorability for this guest still hasn't increased.Not only that, she also ruthlessly turned off Scorpion's lamp in her heart - the battery that transformed herself into a puppet is no longer a battery.Since it is not a battery, what is the difference between it and salted fish!

Xie didn't want to kill her anymore, but he would stop by her facade from time to time, pretending to take care of business.As a puppet, he can neither drink and have fun, nor enjoy the bliss of the world, so he can only squat in a corner of the room, like a bodyguard, sweeping around with fierce eyes, scaring everyone else away.

Quan is miserable.

She told Obito about it, and Obito told her to get out of there straight away.

"Staying here for a long time will be somewhat dangerous. Even if it's not a scorpion, there will be other troubles."

This time, Obito walked in from the main entrance.I don't know which girl he rubbed against, a small piece of white powder was dyed on his shoulders, which looked extremely funny.

She kept laughing, and Obito noticed the strange look in her eyes, and followed her gaze to a small patch of white on his shoulder.

"...You must want me to come in from that kind of place." His tone was slightly annoyed: "I didn't expect the women here to be more powerful than ninjas, and they can approach me without anyone noticing."

"Obito, like this, I will be angry." She nodded his shoulder and said, "Aren't you my guest? How can you let other women touch you?"

"You are really addicted to playing."

Obito had nothing to do with her teasing but to show his annoyance in another way.

It was already midnight when Obito left.Most of the overnight guests have already fallen asleep, and the short-term guests who are looking for pleasure have also returned home. The bright lights of "Hei Ye Xia" were extinguished, leaving only the paper lanterns in the hands of the women, still shining faintly.

Maid Amei saw the back of Obito leaving silently in the darkness, and knew it was time to serve her master.

She walked to the innermost paper door on the second floor, gently opened a crack in the door, and asked softly, "Master Tozaki, do you want to take a bath?"

"kindness."

Her master's voice was soft.

Although it was only a short reply, Amei could imagine her lazy and powerless appearance now.

In Amei's heart, her master, Tozaki, is... quite a pitiful woman.

Tozaki-sama has an incomparable appearance and figure, this kind of appearance can drive men crazy.As long as she wants, she can win anyone's heart and enjoy unlimited wealth.If you meet a good man who is infatuated, you may leave this place and become the wife of an ordinary man.

However, Tozaki-sama never saw anyone else, and just locked himself behind that door.Day after day, night after night, I waited for the man in the mask without changing my mind...

Only the masked man would allow her to personally meet and serve him.

Every time she sees Tozaki-sama's lonely and desolate back, Amei feels from the bottom of her heart that she is not worth it.

——It’s just a man, why does Tozaki-sama wait for his visit every night?Is it true that a woman who is immersed in love is so persistent?

Taking the opportunity of delivering hot water, Amei asked her master: "Master Tozaki, why are you always waiting for that man?"

"Ah? That man? You mean A Fei?" Her glamorous master took off the clothes that were half hanging on her body, sat in the bathtub, and covered the scarlet bruises on her neck with her hands: "I didn't wait for him .”

"Master Tozaki, please don't be brave." Amei's eyes showed an expression of impatience: "If it wasn't because you love that man deeply, why would you stay behind closed doors just to wait for his arrival?"

spring:……

She buried her head in the water, blew bubbles for a while, and said, "I'm just habitual...staying at home...that's all..."

Since she came to the Warring States Period, she has lived the life of a house girl.When I was with Hashirama, I was hidden by Hashirama Yuki;

She is used to this kind of comfortable life where she doesn't have to socialize or worry about how to deal with others.

"Master Tozaki..." Amei's voice was a bit choked up: "Are you so attracted to that man?"

spring:……

A little girl is a little girl after all, and she still thinks that love is something hard to extricate herself from.

She decided not to continue the subject.

"I'm not as closed as you imagined. I'm going to go out in a few days. I won't be here by then. You have to take good care of yourself and don't be cheated by a man pretending to be love."

After Zhishui died, she hadn't returned to that town for a long time.

If Uchiha Itachi didn't suddenly leave a message saying that he would go there, she wouldn't go back.

She hurried to the agreed place, looked around, and found that there was no one around.The dark green mountains are filled with wet rain, and the light birdsong is ringing in the mountains.The town not far away left a silhouette, faintly in the early morning mist.

After a long time, a black figure landed in front of her.

"Is that you? Asakura Izumi."

"...Yes, it's me."

Uchiha Itachi came too quietly, even Izumi was surprised by his ability to hide his whereabouts.

The wind when it fell made the curtain of his bamboo hat flutter slightly.From the gap in the curtain, Quan glimpsed a corner of his facial features, but before he could see clearly, the curtain fell again, covering his half-drowned, dark eyes.

While she was looking at Itachi, Itachi was also looking at her.

From Uchiha Itachi's point of view, the woman in front of him seems to be only the age of a girl, which is far from the age of the woman Shisuikou said.However, her appearance is indeed outstanding, and there is no second person to be found.

"I left in a hurry last time, and I didn't have time to say some things."

Itachi spoke, his voice full of maturity that didn't match his age.

Just judging from his demeanor and guard against people, he doesn't look like a teenager at all.

"I also have some words that I haven't had time to say." She curled her black hair and said softly, "I can take care of myself."

"..." Itachi's words were completely blocked by her before she could leave her mouth.

Itachi Uchiha raised his jaw slightly, he frowned, and there was doubt in his voice: "Shisui has already handed you over to me."

This is Zhishui's only wish, and he can't ignore it.

Quan couldn't refuse him directly, but could only find ways to reason with Itachi in a roundabout way.

She believes that Uchiha Itachi should be a humane person.

"Shisui-kun extended a helping hand to me, and I am already very grateful. However, I would be too sorry to bother other people to take care of me. I can live on my own, and the three-year limit is too early. It's over. Now I can leave here."

"Three years...?" Itachi repeated in a low voice.

"Presumably you don't quite understand why Zhishui-kun got in touch with me?" Quan slowly showed a smile and said, "I was originally a concubine of a nobleman, but after my husband passed away, I was exiled. So far, I have been ordered to live in poverty for three years. Mr. Zhishui couldn't bear this, so he took good care of me. Now, three years have passed... I have been free."

"..." Itachi stared at her silently, as if thinking about the truth of this matter.

"So, please don't think about me anymore."

"...Okay." After a long silence, Itachi opened his mouth.His eyes slowly turned to the early morning sky, and he murmured: "Actually, Zhishui treats you..."

"Well, that's right." Quan said with a slightly shy expression, "I'm still young, so I remarried. Although my current man is not very sophisticated, he treats me very well."

After a pause, she seemed to remember something, and asked, "Excuse me, what did you want to say just now...?"

Itachi lowered his eyes and said flatly, "No, it's nothing."

——This is probably the so-called "regret".

Zhishui is dead, and she has remarried.

Saying some words just adds to the troubles in vain.

Thinking of this, Itachi raised his head and took a look at her face—it was as sweet and beautiful as a lotus blossoming in the wind, and could capture people's hearts at the first sight. It's no wonder that Shishui cared about her so much without knowing it.

Back then, every time Zhishui returned to Konoha from this town, he would be in a daze.At that time, Itachi didn't understand why he was absent-minded.

Now, he can more or less understand.

"In that case, let's forget it." Itachi turned sideways and said, "If you have troubles in the future, you can still come to me. As for whether I can help, that's up to you."

Uchiha Itachi's back gradually disappeared into the mountain mist.

Quan let out a breath.

Ah—fortunately, he was not allowed to say that sentence.

She left the town and went back to her playhouse.When she came back, it happened to be in the evening, and the flickering lanterns had just been lit in Youwu.She walked into the courtyard through the back door, left behind the play and music of the courtyard, and walked back to her room.

In front of her room, she saw Obito standing there, talking to the maid Amei.

"I'm really wronged—"

Obito's voice turned out to be very frivolous and floaty, as if he were a cute street hooligan all day long.

He wears a mask, and others cannot see his expression, but he fully expresses his mood with body movements.While waving his hands frantically, he said in that twisted and aggrieved voice: "I didn't disappoint your master, she was the one who ignored me. She is a playful, lustful, and deeply hurt person." my heart."

"...This..." Amei stared at Obito's mask in shock.

Thinking of the hostess's gentle and obedient temperament, as well as the lonely and lonely back, Amei insisted: "That is absolutely impossible, I have never seen her interact with other men."

"Really!" Obito raised his hands to the sky, and his voice was aggrieved: "She came to me as soon as she was called, and left me as soon as she was called. Last time, she just kicked me out. Obviously, she wants to see a beautiful man herself. Take a second look, but still blame me for accidentally being touched by another woman, what can I do?"

spring:……

Shocked.

Unexpectedly, Obito has such a side.

Could it be that he was infected by her and started to perform superbly...?

As soon as Amei's eyes wandered, she found Quan's figure, and she quickly bent down to salute.Obito also continued his previous role as a wronged daughter-in-law, and stuck tightly to her, holding her hand, and said rather resentfully: "You are finally back. Where have you been? I have been waiting for you for a long time, You don't even want to see me..."

Quan said lightly: "Please start your performance, Mr. A Fei."

The author has something to say: qaq still failed to join the fighting scene... addicted to love and unable to extricate himself...

That's right, I recommend everyone a movie, "Flower Night Road" with an oiran theme, which is both sad and beautiful...

I've been watching all kinds of oiran-themed movies for the past two days, and I'm so addicted to them that I can't extricate myself...
