[Gintama] Craftsman's Word

Shenwei pitched a tent outside Su's wooden house, under the shadow of an old tree, facing the door of the wooden house.The "day" of this planet is relatively short, taking the earth as a comparison object, only about 18 hours.Shenwei lay in a daze in the tent, from day to night, and from night to dawn, there was no movement on the other side.

Two suns rise from both sides of the valley at the same time. Because of the terrain of the valley, the sun just leaves a shade around the wooden house.A few bird calls came from the depths of the valley, as long as an ancient clock telling the time.After the last bird call, the door of the wooden house opened a gap, Xiu poked his head, and a small half of his body sneaked out.

Shenwei spotted Xiu right away, saw that he was like a curious but timid kitten, who wanted to visit but didn't dare to go forward, so he smiled and waved to him.Xiu grabbed the door frame and hid behind the door, looked at Shenwei again and again, probably because Shenwei's smile was kind enough, he finally let go of his guard and ran to Shenwei.

"Father."

The child's voice was soft and waxy, really like a kitten scratching Shenwei's heart, which made him feel sour.However, the pronunciation that is too correct and round reveals the unfamiliarity and deliberation, which also makes Kamui feel frustrated.He missed Su's most difficult moment, missed Xiu's birth and growth, he missed too many things, he was ashamed of this "father".

"You're a good boy, Xiu."

"Everyone said that." Xiu accepted the compliment with satisfaction. Shenwei didn't know who the "everyone" he was referring to, but Xiu was full of energy and stared at him curiously.

"Father, why did you break Ma Ma's leg? It is very inconvenient for Ma Ma to use a wheelchair."

This question frankly made Shenwei feel like crying. How should he answer so as not to leave a bad impression in his son's heart, but also give a sincere enough answer to his behavior that is not an excuse or an apology?After all, this answer may reach Su's ears through Xiuchuan. If Su misunderstood, he would really cry if the description became darker.

"us……"

"Ma Ma said that when you fight, you die...well, you die..."

Shenwei was in a dilemma, Xiu didn't understand his hesitation, so he went straight on, but got stuck on the word "I live and die", and forgot how to say it.

Shenwei reminded knowingly: "You die."

"Yeah." Xiu nodded seriously, "Ma Ma said, if it wasn't her broken leg, then her father died. Why did Ma Ma break her leg and not her father? This way Ma Ma won't have to sit in a wheelchair."

Xiu stabbed at Shenwei carefully, and still didn't know it after stabbing, he opened his fingers and muttered about the problem of "if Ma Ma didn't use a wheelchair, wouldn't he often be held in his arms".Shenwei didn't have the mood to pay attention to the meaningless assumption of Xiu's death, he felt that there was something wrong with Su's education.

"Do you know what 'death' is, Xiu?"

"I just can't see it. I didn't see my father before. It doesn't matter if I don't see my father in the future. I hope Mama gets better."

"You... are your Mama's good boy."

Shenwei understood what was wrong.Although Xiu called him "Father", he didn't have the concept that he was equal to Su in terms of blood.Just like the blunt pronunciation, Su only taught Xiu to call him that, but did not let Xiu understand the meaning of "father".He treats Xiu like a stranger named "Father". Although he is indeed a stranger right now, he must earn his father's status and weight back.

To establish an image in Xiu's mind, one must first know what kind of image he is in Xiu's mind, so Shenwei asked, "How do you tell me about me?"

"Ma Ma said that my father is looking for death... no, he is walking on a road of looking for death." Xiu tried hard to recall Su's original words, he poked his cheek with his finger, and pressed a round dimple on his fleshy face, "Ma Ma also said that she never knew her father because he was sick."

What a precise and brutal description.Shenwei couldn't laugh or cry at the first sentence, but the second sentence made him feel suddenly heavy.When Su said she didn't know him, was she disappointed or hated him?As for saying that he is sick, it has been said many times before, and he is used to it, um, really used to it.

"Is father broken somewhere?"

Xiu glanced at Kamui's neck, shoulders, arms and other places in turn, looking forward to it purely and sincerely, and Kamui suddenly felt sorry for his constant one or two bones.

"I'm fine, why do you ask?"

"Because Mama once said that she was also sick." Xiu was puzzled, he didn't understand what a heart disease is, and only equated illness with Su's leg disease, "Is there really nothing broken?"

Seeing Xiu's clear blue eyes wide open and staring at him, Shenwei felt more and more guilty about not breaking off his limbs.He opened his arms and assured Xiu: "It's really not there, if you don't believe me, you can give it a try."

Xiu Yiyan stepped forward, his small fist knocked a full circle around Shenwei like knocking on the door.He was disappointed to find that the Kamui hadn't been broken anywhere, and his whole body was intact.

"But Mama said she was sick... Hey, what is this?"

Xiu hit something hard that was different from muscle on Kamui's waist.

Shenwei took out a flat and long box, his expression softened.

"Inside are the letters I wrote to you Mama in the past few years. Because I couldn't send them out, I put away every letter. I saved so much without knowing it, and I haven't found a chance to hand it to you Mama." Shenwei thought Turning around, he patted Xiu's head, "Why don't you hand it over to her for me?"

"Well, good." Because it was a gift for Ma Ma, Xiu resolutely agreed.He took the letter box and looked at it, then looked at Shenwei expectantly, "Can I read it?"

"No...you can only read one."

Shenwei was defeated by his son's shining eyes, he must have been like this when he was a child, so he had nothing to do with him.Shenwei opened the letter box, took out a stack of letters, and spread them into a fan shape for Xiu to choose one to read.Xiu casually took out a letter from the middle, opened it, and read it out word by word.

"Su, I, think, do..."

Kamui almost jumped up, quickly and decisively snatched the letter paper from Xiu's hand, and covered Xiu's mouth.He hesitated to put this letter into the letter box, because it, like many other letters of reflection and confession, was the strongest feeling when he wrote the letter, and he hoped to understand it.To be able to draw this one and only special one among the many safe letters at once, this kind of luck... is worthy of his son.

Xiu wrenched away from Shenwei's hand, and asked with the innocence and simplicity of a child: "Why is father's letter written vertically?"

I didn't write vertically, I was writing word by line, fully expressing my senses that I endured so much, how can you understand now.Shenwei knew that if he said it, it would only make Xiu continue to ask him embarrassing questions, so he said nonsense: "It's a habit."

"Oh." Xiu nodded to show that he understood, obediently put the letter away and put it back in the mailbox.Shenwei breathed a sigh of relief, Xiu raised his head again, and asked curiously: "I know the last word, it's 'love', why doesn't my father let me read it?"

"...I'm afraid that if you know about it, if you don't want to talk to me, you will come and beat me to death."

"Will Mama get angry when she sees it? Then I won't give it to her."

"I don't know if she would be angry at first, but you will definitely be angry after seeing her. Why don't I kill myself first, Su will definitely disdain to kill me who has no strength to fight back."

The son's nature is too difficult to resist, and the divine power is half empty, and Weixiu's answer tends to be talking to himself.

Xiu couldn't hear what Shenwei said, so he tidied up the letter box and put it back in Shenwei's arms and returned it to Zhao.He seemed to want to change the subject and ask something else, but as if he heard someone calling him, he suddenly looked outside the tent, and then ran out of the tent briskly.In a trance, Shenwei seemed to have been dug into a big hole by his son, and was thinking about how to reverse the unfavorable situation from Su, when he heard Xiu cheer in surprise, followed by him slamming on the wooden door and shouting "Ma Ma, Xiao Ming is here".

Xiao Ming?Little...Ming!Kamui really jumped this time.The only Xiao Ming he knew, the last survivor of the Sanyu clan favored by Altana on the mountain and sea star, the overly honest little chubby bird who lived under the magnetic system, was that Xiao Ming?

Shenwei stepped out of the tent, and he couldn't help but be surprised by the shocking scene in front of him.At some point in the sky above the valley, a floating fortress appeared without a sound. It was comparable in size to the Nantianlou that had been raining in the spring.

A spaceship landed from the fortress and stopped on the open space in front of the wooden house, as if it was intentional or just helpless, the aftermath of the landing knocked Shenwei's tent out.The hatch of the spaceship opened, and a group of silver-white fur balls flew out, and it was indeed Xiao Ming from the Sanyu clan.Xiu cheerfully rushed up to hold Xiao Ming in his palm, and rubbed it on his cheek.

The second person who walked out from the hatch was also an "acquaintance" of Shenwei.The graceful figure proves that Shenwei's tent has indeed suffered deliberate black hands, and the last moon is even more beautiful, with more vitality than before.

Moyue purposely kissed Qinxiu's cheek at an angle that Shenwei could see, then walked up to Shenwei with joyous steps like dancing, smiled softly with her mouth half covered, and said the same opening remarks as Su.

"You're still alive, I thought you were dead long ago."

"Are you already dead? From head to toe, ah, no, it's the tail. It smells like a corpse, old monster, vixen."

Shenwei also smiled brightly, and the malicious smile that confronted Mo Yue collided with an abnormal aura that isolated others.

At the time of Luoyue back then, Shenwei only knew Momo, and had never seen Moyue himself as the main body. The meeting in front of him was actually the first serious meeting between the two.However, not long after Su left that year, Shenwei received a video tape. Moyue used spells to record Su's forgotten childhood memories, as well as the "all kinds of things" she did to Su during the few days of Su's disappearance. thing".At that time, Kamui laughed at Su Yue's vulgar taste. After being re-educated by Kagura, he repeatedly watched the video in the record more than once. pain.

"It's in the way, get out of the way."

Cold words came from the side, and Shenwei and Moyue, who were smiling sweetly like flowers and secretly competing with each other, turned their wheelchairs and went to Xiu and Xiaoming.

Although Kamui really wanted to add a suffix of "finally appearing in front of him again" to Su's appearance, it was obvious that Su had no choice but to get him to leave quickly, or to leave him in person to get rid of him. Appear.

Mo Yue directly abandoned the contest with Shenwei's aura, turned around and hugged Su's shoulders and neck like bones, and lay down on the wheelchair.Such movements and postures did not damage the beauty's demeanor at all, on the contrary, they had a special charm.

"The rare vacation was spoiled by others. Look at you, your eyes are blue. How about I find another place with beautiful scenery, and I will be with you, and then take Xiu to relax? Don't worry about some things. When a certain It’s good for people to die clean.”

"Yeah, a rare vacation." Su looked up at the fortress in the sky with a disappointed expression.But she immediately firmed her expression, and patted Mo Yue's shoulder, "Troubles will come one after another soon, so get ready immediately."

When Kamui suspected Su said "troublesome matter", his eyes shifted slightly to him, but he wasn't sure.It wasn't until Su took Xiu into the spaceship without saying hello or looking at him, that he felt the continuous dull pain in his chest.Su's unfeeling is the result of his own suffering. From the day they went against each other, there is only pain accumulating.He knew it a long time ago, but he couldn't stop the pain from pervasive.

Kamui stared blankly at the hatch of the spaceship, unless it was a last resort, he really didn't want to forcibly break into Su's spaceship, forcing Su to fulfill the agreement would make her hate him even more.It took a long time for Shenwei to feel the body, but for some reason the hatch did not close.The beating rhythm of his heart gradually became faster, whether it was Xiu, Xiao Ming, or Mo Yue, if anyone wanted to come out, there was always something to tell him.

Appearing within the visible range of the hatch is half a wheel.

"Owing you a promise makes me uncomfortable, come up, I'll go with you."
