[Naruto] Stunning
Chapter 20
On the day Ezaki left Kitano Castle, Kikyo stood on the balcony on the second floor of Hanazizui House for a long time.Facing the direction of the intersection of Lushui Street, but his eyes don't know where to fall.
Huazui House is located in the middle of Lushui Street. The street is so long that you can't see the street from the balcony on the second floor.
Kikyo's low-browed and pleasing look makes Lixiang feel very uncomfortable.
"The heir of the medicine merchant is your brother, right?" Li Xiang couldn't help asking, "It's such a rare opportunity to reunite with my family, why haven't you appeared to recognize him?"
If Xiude came to Dew Street, no matter what the reason was, Lixiang would throw herself into his arms and cry about her tragic experience during this period.Ahh, by the way, ask him to send someone to raze this humble Hualiu Street.
Ezaki and Kikyo are twin brothers and sisters, even though neither of the two parties admit it, but anyone with a discerning eye can see it—it's like the five sense organs carved out of the same mold, no matter how big the world is, there won't be two unrelated People are so similar.
Even though she has few memories of her home and relatives, Kikyo still remembers that her hometown is Shangsong City, which is never winter, and that there is a twin brother who often plays hide-and-seek with her.
These two points alone were enough for her to be sure that Jiang Qi was her elder brother whom she had not seen for many years.
However, these days Jiang Qi comes to Hanazui House every day, but Kikyo has never appeared in front of him.Once I wandered outside the tea room for a long time, and finally walked back with a sigh.
Rika couldn't understand the cowardice and retreat on her face.
Kikyo stroked her hair that was blown tousled by the wind, turned around and walked into the house: "Because of me, I have already accepted my fate."
Li Xiang frowned and said with a sneer: "Accept your fate? How difficult it is for God to arrange for you to reunite with your family members who have been separated for more than ten years, but you don't even have the courage to meet them. What kind of fate is this?"
Kikyo stopped and looked back at her: "You still don't understand, Linglan. After a few years, when you, as a prostitute, find out that the client who arrives is likely to be a family member you haven't seen for a long time, you will understand I'm in the mood."
Lixiang was startled, and when she came to her senses, Kikyo was no longer in front of her.
Yuriko stepped out of the storage room next to her, leaning against the wooden railing of the balcony to blow the cold wind like Rika.
In the afternoon, Lushui Street was still in a state of tranquility, and one could even hear Mama Sang scolding prostitutes from an unknown house.
No matter how good Chrysanthemum can say, Kano has been stereotyped as an "annoying old woman" in Lixiang's mind, but Lixiang has never seen her scolding others, and she never even raised her voice when she spoke. She is always relaxed, happy and angry An expression that is not visible.
In contrast, Shijimi, who is about the same age as Kano, seldom has time to relax.The over-enthusiasm for pets and over-preference for her little daughter made her fuss and make a big fuss whenever she encountered something related to the two, and made many unimaginable orders relying on her honorable status.
But Lixiang relies on and loves such a mother deeply.
Unlike Hidetoku, who sees other people as the best candidates for her father, Rika can never imagine anyone other than Daimyo and Shijimi as her parents.
"That home has no place for her anymore."
It took a while for Lixiang to realize that Yuriko was talking about platycodon.
Rika looked at her inexplicably.
On the street downstairs, Kikyo took the leftovers to feed the stray cats in the corner.
"Ezaki said it, his twin sister is dead." Yuriko's eyes turned from Kikyo to the colorful glass roof tiles opposite.
There has been no news for so many years, and the Ezaki family has regarded her as a tragic death.
If she is still alive, living as a prostitute who sells laughter and joy, to the Jiangzaki family, a well-known big medicine merchant in Shangsong City, it is better to think that she is dead long ago.
They must be afraid that such a huge scandal as "Miss Ezaki's daughter was kidnapped and trafficked to Lushui Street as a prostitute" will become the laughing stock of the whole city.
"The face of the family is there, no one will recognize her." Lily said quietly.
I don't know how much luck it takes to meet family members who haven't seen each other for many years. This miss may not necessarily have the opportunity to meet again for the rest of my life. A resigned compromise.
Will Xiude abandon her sister for the reputation of Daming Mansion? ——No, Rika knew that her brother would never put anything above his family.
Even if she is the princess with the worst reviews in the five major countries, even if she willfully refuses to grow into the appearance he expects, Xiude is often dissatisfied with her behavior in one way or another, but she never feels how shameful it is to have such a younger sister.
Not only Hidetoku, but also Daimyo and Shijimi, what kind of shit reputation and fame can't compare with a single hair of Rika.
Rika, the princess of the country of fire, is most proud not of her birth, but of having parents and elder brothers who truly love each other, even though no one would admit it verbally. ——Maybe Rika still can't realize this now, but she intuitively believes that no matter what happens, her parents and brothers will never ignore her.
"She Kikyo...isn't that very pitiful?" Li Xiang muttered.
"Poor?" Lily seemed to hear something funny, she laughed until she burst into tears, the sarcasm on the corner of her lips was like mosquito blood that could not be wiped off the white wall, "He will be here, who is not a poor person? "Then staring straight at Li Xiang's face, her mocking smile grew stronger and stronger: "Aren't you one of the poor people, Lily of the Valley."
Li Xiang met her gaze, straightened her back unconsciously: "I'm different from you women who give up on themselves, I will definitely leave here!"
The cold wind was not as harsh as her.
Lily was stunned for a moment.
She had seen a lot of women who wanted to leave Dew Street, and most of them had the mentality of giving it a try and taking a gamble—it was a fluke to escape, and it was reasonable not to escape.No one has ever succeeded, and everyone is used to the fact that Dew Street is an impregnable cage.
However, Lixiang is not like those women who are desperate and depend on success or failure. No matter how suppressed by Kano and Yuriko, she firmly believes that she can leave here from the beginning to the end—although she does not know where her determination comes from.
The flying look on the girl's face is incompatible with this desolate street.
Lily's eyes changed imperceptibly, and it was rare that she didn't say a single sarcastic word.
***
Kitano Castle is adjacent to the Iron Country, and dew street is often visited by samurai.And because the No. [-] Hualiu Street in the Land of Fire is famous far and wide, many ninjas from various countries who pass by also stay overnight for fun.
After all, in the final analysis, whether it is a samurai or a ninja, no matter how good a man's right hand is, he can't compare with the warmth and nephrite jade in his bosom.
Rika has been in Konoha Village for two months, and she has never known what a low-key is. In addition to the "confusing" "emotional entanglement" between her and the first technician Kakashi, most Konoha ninjas know her.
It's a pity that Rika hasn't seen Konoha's ninja in Dew Street.
In December, all the lakes in Kitano City were frozen over.Having never spent winter in such a cold place, Li Xiang never dared to leave the Huazui House with the heater on 24 hours a day.
"As soon as you go out, you will immediately turn into a human-shaped popsicle." Li Xiang nestled under the stove table, and the look of fear on her face was easy to see when she spoke.
Chrysanthemum smiled: "It will be fine after you get used to it."
The noon sun shines through the glass windows, thin and thin, and there is no warmth at all.
Li Xiang casually stuffed the pillow behind her head, intending to take a comfortable nap, when she heard Ju Zi's words, she closed her eyes and said, "I don't have any "future" here. "
Chrysanthemum was stunned for a moment, then looked at her, and saw that the girl's complexion was as white as porcelain, and her sleeping posture was elegant, but her brows were still furrowed even when she fell asleep.
"A girl who has never escaped can successfully leave Dew Street, Lily of the Valley." Chrysanthemum murmured sadly.
Lixiang's breathing was long and steady.
At nightfall, there were only three or five guests in Huazui House. Kikyo and Baihezi accompanied them in the tea room, and Lixiang was supposed to be there early in the morning, but she came here only now because she slept too long in the afternoon.
Kano told her outside the door: "These guests are all ninjas. Just one ninjutsu can wipe out the entire Lushui Street. Don't get into trouble again."
Every time Rika heard that a ninja was coming, she couldn't help feeling a strong hope. She looked in through the crack of the door, only to find that the forehead guards on the foreheads of those men were so unfamiliar that she couldn't recognize which ninja village they belonged to.
——It’s not Konoha’s ninja.
Li Xiang was extremely disappointed like a wilted sunflower.
Kano glanced at her lightly: "What are you expecting?"
Li Xiangxin said nonsense: "I thought it was some famous ninja." After thinking about it, he asked again: "These ninjas from unknown ninja villages are so rich that they can afford Kikyo and Yuriko?"
As the two pillars of Huazui House, Kikyo and Yuriko can be said to be worth a lot of money, and the guests they always receive are either rich or expensive, and the poor ninjas in Xiaonin Village are not among them.
Kano glanced at the tea room, and slowly exhaled a puff of white smoke, Rika tilted her head in disgust and raised her hand to disperse the second-hand smoke.
"These are ninjas from the country of Tang. It is said that they were hired by the president of the shipping company, Kado, and made a fortune."
"Cado?"
"Ah, one of the few richest people in the world."
……do not know.Nothing to do with her.Can't save her.
Rika curled her lips—when will those stupid guards and ninjas find her!
"Go in, why are you still standing there?"
Kano's voice brought Rika back to reality again.
Rika opened the paper door with a listless look, just in time to hear a ninja in the tea room laughing loudly: "...Speaking of which, the most valuable ninja this year is of course COPY ninja Hatake Kakashi, the land of fire Didn’t your princess say that she would exchange the entire Kitano Castle and Konoha for that man, hahahaha!”
Li Xiang's hand that hadn't been withdrawn from the door frame almost broke the paper door.
The author has something to say:
I've been so dizzy with work these past few days, I'm really sorry I couldn't reply to the messages in time><I will reply one by one on the weekend~ I love you all=333=
