[Gintama] Craftsman's Word

"Shenwei - God - Wei -"

Kamui didn't want to pay attention to that idiot who clearly knows how to read words, but just can't understand correctly and is always overthinking, and let the protracted syllables catch up behind him.

He couldn't catch up with such slow and small steps, Su really needed training, Shenwei thought so.

"Okay, this is for you to eat, don't make trouble anymore."

As soon as Shenwei was distracted, Su had already moved to his side, and before he could react, he stuffed a cool object into his mouth.

Kamui reflexively wanted to spit it out, but he reacted immediately and stopped the muscles that were about to open and close.In fact, she didn't give him a chance to spit it out, her fingers still stayed on his lips, exerting a little force to suppress it.

Kamui rolled the unknown object on the tip of his tongue, judging that it was a round, plump and elastic fruit.Just turning the tip of the tongue, the sweet taste overflowed, he bit it from the middle, the flesh was tender and juicy, refreshing and delicious.

"Isn't it sweet?"

Su Mei smiled, and in his other hand was a bunch of purple fruits the size of a fingernail, which he presented to him as if offering a treasure.Shenwei squeezed one, and asked with a curious expression on purpose: "What is this?"

"The elm fruit is both delicious and can be used as medicine. The purple peel has a particularly strong coloring ability. There is a big one over there. I tell you to ignore me, or you can pick more. Be careful. crush..."

It was a little late for Su to remind, when Shenwei heard her calling for him to pick the fruit, he "accidentally" used too much force and crushed the one on his hand.

Kamui was a little disappointed, feeling uncomfortable with his heart sinking suddenly.Su had tried his best to convince him, and he was embarrassed when he blurted out that he believed him just now, he really thought they were the same kind.The blood that boils only for fighting flows in the body, and all the body, mind and soul are dedicated to chasing the strongest road.

He has been patient again and again, but Ke Su is still easily distracted by secondary things.Just like now, she didn't realize the change in his mood, and after saying "oops", she hurried forward and grabbed his hand to remove his bandage that was stained with purple juice.

Kamui flung Su's hand away, narrowed his eyes and smiled, and tightened the loose bandage.

"Forget it, Su, I'll go to the front to have a look first, you take your time."

Su showed a surprised look, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"

slow!Shenwei snorted coldly in his heart, but smiled at Yanyan and said, "It's nothing, I'm just not interested in this thing."

He thought about it, felt that the irony was not enough, clasped Su's wrist and turned it over, snatched a handful of elm nuts, crushed them all in his palm with one fist.

Su shrank his neck, lowered his eyes and staggered his gaze, as if he was facing a horrible scene.He still smiled, determined that there was no point in continuing to entangle, and continued to move towards the depths that made his heart palpitate, bypassing Su.

"...Why did you get angry all of a sudden? Is it because I said that your sentences are beautiful or that your hair is an antenna? I don't want to say it? I thought you would be happy to pick something delicious, so you If you don’t like it, just throw it away. The skin of the mountain elm contains natural pigments. If it is damaged and exposed to the air, it will be acidified and intensely colored. It’s okay to swallow it whole because it’s an alkalization reaction when it’s crushed in your mouth. According to my estimation, you have the least purple on your hand. It takes three months to wash off..."

Kamui stopped in his tracks.

Ever since he turned his face, Su has been chasing after him unhurriedly, thinking about whether it was "deliberately" or "three months" that finally moved him. Shenwei looked at the purple bandage on his right hand that was completely soaked, Think this answer is open to debate.

He looked back at Su with a full smile, and was so frightened that Su took a small step back as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Aren't you going yet?"

Su hurriedly nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Of course I have to go. You describe it so heart-pounding. The blood is so eager to wait, how can I not go and see it."

"Then shut up and go."

After a pause, Su obediently did not open her mouth, and let out a nasal "hmm" in frustration.

Kamui is in a cheerful mood and doesn't feel blocked.At this time, he likes the fact that Su is one year older than him.If she could stop disappointing him too much, it wouldn't be a big deal if she occasionally fulfilled the finger-tucked promise after she went back.

Shenwei is very happy that Su has allowed him to regain his sense of identity, and this ease dilutes the coldness and trembling caused by the shadow behind the scenes in the depths.

It was less than an hour before their lives were hanging by a thread.

----

"Shenwei, wait!"

The sand walked to the end in front of the winding rock wall, and there was a gap between the rock walls. Shenwei was about to speed up the sprint, but Su suddenly grabbed his wrist, shook his head and stopped.

"Not quite right."

Su knelt down and grabbed a handful of sand, looking around solemnly.

"What's the problem?"

"The humidity has become heavier. This humidity is too high for a 'hunting ground', as if... there is a lake nearby."

"Hmm..." Shenwei tilted his head and thought for a while, then said vividly, "In short, it means that the risk factor has increased?"

"Don't be too happy, okay? If you want to catch the guy hiding in the shadows behind the scenes, you have to lift the curtain first."

Su's expression was troubled, but Shenwei saw the brilliant brilliance in her eyes.

This beauty is unequivocal. After Su removed all the bandages from her body, he did not let go of those on his body. Shenwei silently rejoiced that the suit he wore when he went out was neither a long gown nor a belt...

The bandage was tied into a long rope and tied to the end of the dagger, and it was thrown vertically from Su's hand to the rock wall beside him.Kamui thought Su would use his strength to climb up the rock wall, and was about to laugh at her limp strength as useless, when a bizarre scene appeared.

Shenwei determined that Su didn't use much force, but after the dagger was released from his hand, it suddenly accelerated, fluctuating up and down, and quickly hit the distant rock wall.The length of the bandage rope is not enough to lay flat on the rock wall, but the fact is that it is loose and there is still some leftover.

"A mirage?" Shenwei asked in surprise.

"It's not exactly the same. Umbrella people usually call it 'water cloth', which is an illusion created by trees adjusting the water transpired by leaves after they are familiar with the living environment. Because it is easily affected by external objects, it is necessary to create an unbroken visual illusion. Too many levels of water density changes are required, and generally only trees with a very large age can do this. This is a 'hunting ground', and the moisture in the air will be squeezed dry by the soil immediately. This layer of 'water cloth' does so Perfect, it means that there is enough water to replenish, we have caught the corner of the curtain."

"But it's not enough to lift it, it's written on your face." Shenwei spread his hands, and Bai Su shook his head in pain.

"Are you clever?" Su gave Shenwei an angry look, and retracted the dagger with a flick of the bandage, "Do you understand the point I said?"

"Understood. What I foresee is not a tree, there are other more powerful things."

Kamui smiled sweetly, proving that he was really clever.

"Don't underestimate 'Shuibu', it's an ancient tree that is about to mature, it's older than your ancestors whose genealogy can be found?"

"Well, I hope it will become a spirit soon. I haven't fought a goblin yet." Shenwei expressed his expectations seriously, and then corrected Su, "My family doesn't have a family tree, and the only ancestor I can find is that old man."

"..."

"Your family has a family tree? It feels stupid to do such a boring thing."

"...No, I'll just say it casually, as if I didn't say it."

Su turned around silently, removed two bandages from the rope, and handed one of them to Shenwei.

"Blindfold your eyes and listen to the voice to argue."

"Eh?" Shenwei was taken aback, "I don't know how to do it."

"Ah?" Su Ye was taken aback, "Are you kidding me?"

"It's okay to listen to the movement in a fight, but I don't know how to judge the terrain by listening to the sound. It's better to say that I don't know how to be normal. It's strange if you click this skill."

"... That's right." Su tapped his forehead annoyedly, "It's because I knocked too many stones when the mine was broken, and I got used to it. But you still have to cover your eyes, and you will be confused when you look at the illusion. "

Su moved directly, with his arm leading the bandage around Shenwei's head.When the distance was close enough that he could hear his breathing clearly, Kamui pinched Su Su's face conveniently.Su hesitated for a moment, and continued her knot-tying motion without paying any attention, while Kamui touched her eyes and nose even more vigorously.

"What are you doing? Based on your answer, I will judge whether I will remind you next time I encounter a biting plant."

"I'm imagining your face."

Kamui's lips were pursed into a curved arc, the bandage covered the brilliance of his eyes, and his smile was spotless and clear.

"You must be a curse when you grow up."

Su reluctantly took away Shenwei's hand, flicked on Shenwei's forehead, and began to blindfold himself.

Sudden loss of vision and contact with Su, Kamui didn't like the feeling of being surrounded by darkness, groped to grab Su, and leaned against her again.

Shenwei seemed to have heard Su's chuckle, but he didn't seem to be able to catch it carefully.Su patted the top of his head lightly, and soon, a cool hand took his hand and held it firmly.

"Don't let go. In the illusion of 'Shuibu', if you lose it, it's hard to get it back."

Shenwei nodded obediently, and this time, Su laughed out loud.

"I'm teasing you." The clasped hands squeezed, "I won't let anything happen to you, trust me."

Su Qingxiao's voice was so crisp that Shenwei was a little dazed.Her gentle reassurance, as deep as a mother's whisper, won him over easily.Kamui was led by Su, and followed her firm steps without any confusion.

There seemed to be a shining road in the darkness, squeezing the boundless darkness away, and that light was holding in his hands, cool but solid, from which there was an inspiring warmth.

Kamui still doesn't like the darkness that surrounds him, but he's starting to like the feeling of moving forward solidly and decisively.

What you step on is not just sand, but more like the never-ending strongest road.Su, like him, is chasing and exploring. They made solid and decisive progress with their own efforts, and they walked without hesitation.
