Chapter Twenty-Eight: Su Mo and the Girl
He kneels on a tatami mat and closes the wooden door softly, insulating him from the wind and snow outside.
"Miss. She said lightly.
In the center of the Japanese-style house, the girl is nestled in a futon, and on the table next to her is a traditional Japanese breakfast, congee, pickled dried radish, and a piece of grilled cod.
The girl raised her eyes, her slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and said softly, "......Are you awake?"
You nodded with a smile, raised her hand to wipe the hair from the girl's sideburns, and said, "Miss, what happened?
The girl's eyes were puzzled, and then she said, "I have a fever, and I will be fine tomorrow." ”
Yu shook his head, "You have almost the same bloodline as me, and we have long been unable to contaminate human diseases, but now you tell me that you have a fever......"
The girl looked at the ceiling, and after a long time, she said, "It's a fever, I know." ”
"Maybe I can help you. ”
The girl shook her head and closed her eyes.
Seeing that the girl didn't speak, Yuu frowned worriedly, sighed, and replaced the towel on the girl's forehead, the damp towel was soaked in cold water, and slowly scrubbed.
"Miss has always been like this, no matter what happens, she grits her teeth and fights by herself. That spring, I remember that it was a cherry blossom season, and the young lady went for a morning jog in the mountains, but she fell and injured her knee, and her knee became like that, and she walked 15 kilometers, do you remember? I went to look for you that day, and when I found you, you were so tired that you couldn't breathe......"
"Well, I remember. ”
Yu wrung out the towel, shook it, and put it on the girl's forehead, and said, "At that time, I didn't know you very well, and I didn't even know what your name was, but when I asked Megumi later, I found out that you were Madame's child." ”
"Hmm. ”
"Emi told me that the group of children with you have to complete 30 kilometers of running every day, and if anyone doesn't finish it, the family will be eliminated. You worked so hard at the beginning, you were afraid of being eliminated, but did Miss ever think that if I wasn't at the shrine that day and no one went to look for you, what would it be? Miss, you will soon be the patriarch, you don't need to work so hard, you can leave a lot of things to us to do, we are your right-hand man. ”
The girl was silent, shook her head, and said, "If you don't come to me that day, Emi will come to me in the end, and she has to count the people who go out every day, so it's fine."
She knew that if she was not at the shrine that day, the time to count the number of people would be ten o'clock in the evening, that is, the girl would lie in the woods with a crippled knee for about five hours, and wait for the rescuers, even if the girl picked up a life, her leg would definitely be useless.
You opened her mouth, what she wanted to say was still not said in the end, she knew the girl's character, there was no way, born in this family, you have to have the consciousness of moving forward alone, obviously, the girl did very well.
"You can rely on me a little more. Yu said sincerely.
The girl still nodded, but this time, she didn't speak.
After Yu said goodbye, she left the Japanese-style house with breakfast, and after about half an hour, when she returned, the girl was already dressed and kneeling quietly on the futon alone.
"Miss?"
"Yo, take me to the ice cellar, my friend is still there. ”
You frowned, "Do you mean the girl from Huaxia?" Don't worry, she didn't suffer any harm, she was just under house arrest in the ice cellar by the patriarch, and when you get better, I will take you to see her." ”
"No, I'm going now. ”
"But it's an ice cellar, and your body is ...... now."
The girl was silent, just looked at her like this, you were a little helpless, so she had to nod her head and agree, and the two came to the backyard, where a cenote was the entrance to the ice cellar, and walked through a long tunnel, pulled open the iron plate, and the air conditioner paved the surface.
When you enter the ice cellar, you don't go deeper, the ice cellar gets colder and colder the further you go inside, and the place where the detainees are held is on the edge of the ice cellar, and the reason why it is set up is that the people who are being held are afraid that the detainees will freeze to death in the ice cellar.
Walking through the iron fences, they saw Su Mo in the corner, Su Mo was in a mess at this time, the original clean clothes were now very old, and her hair was dirty, trembling all over, because of a down jacket, she would not be frozen to death.
The girl frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "Yo, this is what you said about not receiving any harm? She is about to freeze to death...... Ahem, ahem, ahem......" The girl suddenly began to cough, her vision became blurred, and Yu on the side held her and whispered the girl's name.
"Miss, Miss, how are you feeling? ”
"Bring her up. ”
"But the head of the house ...... it."
"Otherwise, you will open the cage and let me in with her. With that, the girl broke free of You's embrace and walked to the iron cage, and Yu grabbed her when she saw this, and said, "Okay, I'll take her up, but before that, I'll take you up first." ”
......
......
Su Mo was locked up in the ice cellar for a night, this place was really cold, nested in a down jacket that was not warm, and her consciousness was confused, as if she dreamed of the night when she first arrived at the Shinjuku Mansion, she remembered that the heating in the room was broken, and it was too late, there was no way, she could only make do with Mu Zeming for one night.
The two were almost cold, but now that there was no Mu Zeming, Su Mo couldn't even survive a night.
The warmth gradually wrapped around the body, and when she opened her eyes, the surroundings were foggy, as for the body, it seemed to be in the water, the water was very hot, but the temperature was just right, was it a hot spring? Su Mo remembered the night she and Mu Zeming soaked in the hot spring, it was their first time, unforgettable, and ridiculous.
Is Mu Zeming back? The vision gradually became clear, and he found that he was indeed in the hot spring, but there was no one around, the marble pool platform was very exquisite, and there were towels placed on it, Su Mo walked over with his chest around his chest, and found that there was a note on the towel.
"Miss Su Mo, I am Miss's bodyguard, I am very sorry for my offense, I took off your clothes, but don't worry, I am a woman, I have thrown away your clothes, and the new clothes are placed outside the door. ”
Reading between the lines reveals that the other party is an intellectual, rational, and even sexy woman, for some reason, Su Mo actually had fantasies about such a person, many years ago, she also wanted to be such a person, how to say, super female guard?
Hehe, smiled self-deprecatingly, shook off the unrealistic thoughts in his mind, and sat back in the hot spring, and after a while, as if thinking of something, he suddenly stood up, and he didn't have time to wipe it off, so he rushed out with a towel around his body.
This is a very common kimono, which can often be seen in the kimono rental shop at the entrance of the summer festival, white and pink, it looks very comfortable, and when I touched the fabric, it was very high-end, Su Mo didn't understand, but at least it was definitely more advanced than the kimono in the rental shop.
I was wearing a kimono in a panic, and when I was halfway through it, I realized that I didn't know how to wear a kimono! I dragged my fat clothes to the mirror, and the woman in the mirror had messy hair and dripping water at the ends, and the kimono was dragging on the ground like a rag.
"I'll ......"
For a while, Su Mo suddenly thought of the days when she was in the laboratory, a white coat was worn for a year, her hair was messier than now, and she didn't dry it after taking a shower, unless she wanted to draw homework on paper, she would tie up her wet hair to prevent water from dripping on the paper.
Now that I think about it, it seems that I haven't lived like that for a long time, when was the last time I came? It seems that before I went to North China City, so to speak, since I found Mu Zeming, my previous life has ended, not to mention after living with Mu Zeming, every time I take a bath, Mu Zeming helps her blow her hair, and if she has a kimono, he should also be able to wear it......
Just as she was thinking like this, there was a knock on the door, and the person outside said, "Miss Sumo, my name is Nanako, can I come in?" Miss said that you may not be able to wear a kimono. ”
"Uh, yes, that...... Wait a minute......"
Nanako waited for about thirty seconds, and when she came in, what she saw was Su Mo who was leaked by Chunguang, to be honest, in fact, Su Mo didn't want to do this, mainly because she thought of a very important thing, and she had to confirm it in person.
With Nanako's help, Su Mo blew her head, put on a kimono, and came to the girl's room.
The girl lay down again and sat quietly beside her, Su Mo was about to speak when she saw this, but she was stopped by the girl raising her hand, only to hear her say: "Yu, Nanako, you go out first, I have something to say to her." ”
"Yes. The two got up, nodded and exited the room.
Su Mo was puzzled, watched them leave, came to the girl's side, grabbed the girl's hand with a smile, and said, "Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue, I'm Su Mo, don't you remember me......"
Tears gathered on Su Mo's jaw, and then dripped on the back of the girl's hand, the girl looked at Su Mo laughing and crying, and also showed a smile, and said, "I remember, I definitely remember." ”
"When you left five years ago, I thought I would never see you again, what happened at that time, why did you leave without saying a word?"
"Something happened in the family, I have to go back, you see, as soon as the coming-of-age ceremony is over, I will be the patriarch......"
Su Mo covered her mouth and shook her head, tears streaming down her fingertips, "Xiaoxue, tell me, didn't you get rid of the bloodline devouring?"
"Bloodline Devouring?"
"Is that blood test report in the book yours?"
The girl was slightly stunned and smiled: "You know everything." ”
"Really?"
"Like, in fact, I don't know, after the bloodline mutation, I can't control myself more and more, I can feel that there will be such a day, but I didn't expect it to come so suddenly. The girl smiled and would give her a pale smile.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late, I'm late......"
Su Mo put the girl's hand on her forehead and kept repeating this sentence, and at some point, the bedding under the girl was gradually soaked with her tears.
"Now, you're not late! it's just me, I'm leaving a little early......" the girl laughed.
