The end of the curtain

?The flames of war on the front line have gradually spread to the residential area. The fire burned the residential area and filled the sky with smoke.Almost half of the sky in the capital city was filled with blazing flames, and the overwhelming scorching heat waves seemed like a grinning devil stretching out his sharp claws to people.

In fact, Ali has been living in Sakurai's medical center for the past few days.Although it is said that we do not see each other when we look up and see each other when we look down, under the same roof, there are unavoidable opportunities to meet each other.But every time they met, they always didn't say a word.

Sakurai is also doing his own thing as usual... By the way, is this antibiotic really that difficult to develop, and there is no progress at all... His illness has already started to attack, how long can I last?By doing this, I am reversing history, so how much impact will it have on future generations...

For several days in succession, the hospital sent many wounded people day and night, most of them had extensive burns all over their bodies, and Sakurai was almost exhausted trying to bandage their wounds. Help me out, but she still hasn't closed her eyes for several days.Sakurai knew that the flames of war at the Forbidden Gate of Kyoto had arrived, and would soon spread to the area near the medical hall, but she had to guard right now, because there were many wounded here, and there were also things that were important to me.

——Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue hasn't come home yet...

One day, she was going to gather medicine and passed by the village of Mibu Temple. She didn't think about anything and was about to leave in a hurry, but someone called her name.Sakurai looked back and saw Todo Heisuke running towards her with his long brown ponytail.

"Xiaoxu, Kyoto is very dangerous now, you better be careful as a girl." Hirasuke's blue and delicate cat eyes showed concern.

"It's okay, thank you, I can protect myself." A faint smile appeared in Sakurai's eyes.

"But Xiaoxu, I want to ask, what's the matter with you and the chief executive?" Hirasuke threw such a question to Sakurai like a grenade at this time, "I always feel that you two are very strange recently, When mentioning you to each other, you always answer either one or the other, or you don't care at all, and your tone of voice is almost cool."

The boy Hirasuke didn't know that the chief executive and Sakurai had already "fallen out", and that they were no longer in the state of bickering with each other like before.In the eyes of outsiders, they seem to be playing charades, and they can't tell the reason for it for a long time.

Well, I can tell you that, in fact, the person involved is not very clear about what is going on.

"I don't know, maybe, this is the best way, after all, it shouldn't have appeared in the first place, and this is enough." Sakurai's voice was light and without any emotion, but there were always mixed feelings in his heart, and he was so bored.

Hmm, this is enough, because my original intention is to hope that he is well, and everything else is okay.After a few years, I will leave, because here I want to see with my own eyes the changes of this era and the so-called new dawn.

"But you and the chief executive are not—" Hirasuke seemed to be very concerned about this issue, but Sakurai suddenly darkened, and interrupted him without a trace, "I'm sorry Hirasuke, if I want to say that, I can only Let me tell you, Ali and I are almost the same."

In the past few days, she has called her Ali.Originally, he didn't want to care so much, but Sakurai seemed to ask Ali directly if he wanted to go to the medical clinic, so Ali, who was confused and tearful at the time, acquiesced.

In fact, she felt that Ah Li was not bad. She slapped her for no reason that day, and she didn't hold any resentment. She just felt that Ah Li was pitiful, stupid and stupid.Although he deeply likes the other party, he can't get the other party's response.This life is doomed to fruitlessness.

"Ari?" Hirasuke was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and looked up at Sakurai again, but Sakurai's black eyes, like the stars in the midnight, were devoid of any emotion, faintly permeated, as if they were with him Inherent coldness.

"Shoji Okita, it can be said that we are not from the same world at all. No matter what we do, we are doomed to be fruitless like Ali. We are just two intersecting lines, which intersect at the midpoint at the beginning, but in the future, It will only go further and further away, and our relationship can only maintain the current state at most." When saying this, Sakurai smiled lightly, as if he was narrating a matter that had nothing to do with him .However, there was no anxiety in her gaze, it was just empty and lifeless, with neither sorrow nor joy so deep that it made people panic inexplicably.

Hirasuke suddenly felt a sense of deep sadness for a moment.

——The intersecting lines will only go farther and farther, and there will be no intersection, until you will never see each other's figure when you look back;

——Even so, I am already very satisfied, after all, I can still meet you in my life;

——The greatest favor God has given me is to let me understand what giving up and giving up are.I have never been jealous, because liking someone is to learn to let go;

——Yes, it is enough to stand behind you silently, I just hope you are all well;

……

Miss Ayin, I seem to have found the answer to this question.Although the result will inevitably be frustrating, but it doesn't matter... So girl, please work hard!

****************

Two days later, the hospital finally finished entertaining all the wounded, and Ali packed her luggage and prepared to leave and return to Edo.

"Are you leaving?" Sakurai leaned gently against the door frame and said in a lukewarm tone.Ah Li just stagnated, although she stopped moving forward, she didn't look back.

A gust of wind brought the faint fragrance of the Sophora japonica flower, because this smell is not strong, it seems to be a faint fragrance.But at the same time, there seems to be a very subtle smell...

One, the smell of fire...

"...Well, that...Sakurai, give my regards to my father...and, the general manager..." Ah Li faltered and said it, and it seemed embarrassing to say so.There was a moment of silence as she was about to leave.

—Why don't you go by yourself?

Sakurai's voice with a misty smile like a spring breeze came from behind with the wind, and Ah Li turned around in a little surprise when she heard the words, her eyes widened: "You and the chief executive—"

"You should have heard that day." Sakurai walked towards her slowly, stroking her long black hair casually, "Actually, when I passed by the gate of the village and Heisuke was talking, you were there." No doubts, just affirmative statements.

"——how did you know?" Ari's voice subconsciously raised because of disbelief.

Nonsense, with your skill, as long as someone with a heart discerns carefully, they can detect someone.And listen carefully to the briskness of the footsteps, and you can tell it's a woman... How could I not know.

"I know you are in pain, but what's the use of that? Go back obediently." Sakurai said casually, "Let's go!"

"Hmph, I don't know why, but I don't hate you all of a sudden! It's a terrible thought!" A Li's face blushed slightly, and she was depressed and mad because of being exposed. Obviously, she should hate her and hate her for taking her away. The chief executive.

However, she doesn't seem to be the kind of person she imagined...

"It's up to you, please leave immediately, don't eat and drink any more." Sakurai mercilessly issued an order to expel Ali. Although Ali, who didn't understand this, was a little annoyed, she still spoke in a muffled voice. He strode out aggressively without hesitation.

Not long after, the fire filled the air, like a ferocious beast, it swallowed everything fiercely with an irresistible momentum.

Goodbye, Kondo pear, have a safe journey. ...

-------------------

In the first year of Yuanzhi, the 8th year (August 20th), July [-]th.

Because the Changzhou Fan radicals set fire to Kyoto during their hasty retreat from Kyoto after the defeat at the front line, and because they attacked the imperial court, they were regarded as reactionary rioters.The fire here burned continuously for three days and destroyed 250 houses, 23 earthen warehouses, 22 temples and shrines, including [-] of the [-] floats used in the Gion Festival. , the number of casualties, regardless of...

This incident is known in history as the edge of the forbidden gate.

(——The above is from Chizuru Yukimura.)

Kyoto suffered heavy losses in this incident. After the fire was extinguished, intense reconstruction work began.

A fire passed by, and the medical hall that had stood for a long time was reduced to ashes.Including the experimental equipment placed in the past, as well as all medical books and medicines, all were burned to the ground.

Including the female doctor who has been widely acclaimed in the clinic, also disappeared.People who are familiar with the side of Ya Xiaolu shook their heads and sighed. Some thought that she was buried in the fire; but some people immediately retorted, shaking their heads in disapproval...

The flames filled the sky, comparable to the crimson sunset, magnificent and desolate.

In fact, before the fire spread to this point, a few passers-by saw a slightly slender man in a dark blue Taoist robe with a handful of guns in his hand, walking out of the medical hall with a package that was not too big or too small. .

At this time, there are indeed many people dressed like this wandering around Kyoto.However, the person in the dark blue Taoist robe should be a girl to be precise, and it is the owner of the hospital they called missing.

This is indeed unbelievable. The three-day fire in Kyoto not only caused a large number of casualties, but also many families suffered serious financial losses and were almost destitute.They all mobilized their families after the fire was extinguished, returned to the wreckage of their homes, and tried their best to save them without tears.

But the owner of the medical center was unrestrained, he brought almost nothing with him, a handful of exquisite guns that no one had ever known, a package that seemed to hold nothing, changed his clothes casually, and simply left .

And she seemed to have foreseen something a long time ago. The common people fled in a hurry, but she just cleaned up for a while and left calmly.

Not long after, everyone saw her busy figure again at the place where the injured people gathered, but she was no longer wearing a kimono, and everyone didn't recognize her for a while.

Seeing the lives in my hands passing helplessly one after another, I felt mixed feelings in my heart, not much sadness, but deep meditation.

Life is so fragile and strong, fragile, and the weak body of human beings cannot resist fierce artillery fire and cruel diseases after all.Strong, when life and death parting, relatives will never leave each other, hold their hands tightly, even if it is the last moment, at least there is someone you love by your side.

Man is a self-contradictory creature...

But, often in this way, isn't it the only way to form the shapes of all things in the world...?
