The sound of clogs falling to the ground is like the rhythm of a bangzi, and with a man in a strange costume, it is transmitted throughout the past.

He was very strange, dressed in a long black hemp shirt, with a few strands of long hair tied casually, hanging his head, and the most striking thing was on his back:

It was a cherry tree of pink cherry blossoms in full bloom, rooted in the back of a man, and every petal that fell like glass turned into a patch of blood on the ground.

The man knows that the cherry blossom tree is sucking his life, but what does it matter?

When he looked up at the cherry blossom tree, there was still tenderness in his eyes, as if looking at a lover, just under the cherry blossoms.

The man's name is Ryu Sakura, and he doesn't know how many years he has been in the Heavenly Continent, only that he has experienced 1,864 heavy snowfalls and 971 cicada singing seasons.

Liuying has no sense of time, he just walks step by step, for this world, he is no longer as repulsive as he was at the beginning, but every full moon night, he still thinks of her, and thinks of everything in Fuso.

Shakuhachi, a musical instrument introduced to Fuso from a distant land, was known as gagaku because of its desolate and vast timbre and its ability to express ethereal and tranquil sound, and was extremely popular among dignitaries.

Rusakura also likes shakuhachi, his parents are the owners of the largest bathhouse in town, if he wants to listen, he will find a musician to play a few songs for everyone in the bathhouse, although the cost is a bit high, but he doesn't care, anyway, as long as he stretches out his hand, his parents will put the money in their hands.

Until that cold night, a flame ignited.

It was a duel between two samurai, surrounded by their own forces, each holding torches, illuminating the dark streets.

At that time, there were many kendo schools on the rise, and the change in strength represented interests, so duels often happened, but the government did not care about it.

Kendo duels are fast, to be precise, only with an all-out blow, which is the first and last attack.

The defeated samurai did not die, but he lost his right arm, which also meant that he was disqualified from all honor and benefit.

The defeated samurai was furious, and he snatched the torch and threw it wildly, just throw it, but he didn't care if it was thrown on a person.

The samurai threw thirteen torches, extinguished twelve, and set the remaining one on fire to a large bathhouse.

Ruzakura didn't know how she had spent the night, and when she came back to her senses, she was sitting next to a black ruin, with a blanket over her.

Parents died, not burned, drowned, in their rooms.

Ruzakura stepped barefoot in the snow without a trace of expression on his face, and he wanted to cry because he was the only one in the world from then on.

Ryuzakura found some copper plates in the burned ruins, as well as a shakuhachi in an underground vault.

Those copper plates were just enough to bury my parents, and all that was left was the shakuhachi.

The shakuhachi was obtained by Ryuzakura from a down-and-out musician, and he didn't use any money, all he paid was a bowl of rice.

The down-and-out musician happily went up the mountain after eating.

A few days later, Ryuzakura heard from a customer bathing that another corpse had been found in the high forest on the mountain, looking like a down-and-out musician.

Since then, loneliness has become the personal exclusive of Liuying.

Fortunately, Ryu Sakura is not a waste person who knows nothing, at least he knows how to play shakuhachi.

As the saying goes, you can know the fish near the water, and you can know the bird sound near the mountain.

Ryuzakura has listened to a lot of shakuhachi playing, and she knows some of it herself, but this is the first time he has played shakuhachi.

Liuzakura deliberately came to a street full of people, found an abrupt corner, slowly pushed the snow away, sat down, and began to play.

It was a song called "Soul", which was created by a wandering musician who missed his distant relatives. At that time, Ruzakura liked the melody of this piece so much that she spent ten copper plates for the musician to keep a sheet of music for herself.

In the midst of the crowds, a young man with a slightly pale face blew shakuhachi with his eyes, as if he had entered his own world.

The melody of this piece is very light, and unlike the previous tragic songs, it is like a fluttering butterfly, knowing that her life is short, but she is still willing to offer the last dance for the flowers.

This was the first time that Ruzakura had played shakuhachi, and he didn't even notice that he was working with it so perfectly, like the extension of siblings.

With the sound of shakuhachi, the snow stopped, people lived, and she, came.

Hoshino Sawako, her family sells flowers in Wanchen City next door, and she is already a well-known florist when she has just become an adult.

Today is her birthday, so she went out early in the morning to play.

However, the sudden music pulled her in front of Ruzakura like a pair of invisible hands.

"Soul" is the best song she has ever heard, and Flowing Sakura is the most handsome person she has ever seen.

At this time, after playing a song, Liuying gradually opened her eyes, and what greeted her was a pair of beautiful and clear eyes.

There is no love at first sight in the world, it is just a matter of seeing the color.

Ryuzakura and Sawako fell in love with each other's 'color' at the same time.

Liuying played very well, and many people stopped movingly, but few people dropped a few copper plates.

When people saw Liuying's expectant eyes, they all looked sideways and left, leaving only Sawako alone.

Sawako took out a copper plate and handed it to Ryuzakura, hoping that he could go back to the flower shop with him, and it could be regarded as a place to stay when it was cold.

Ryu Sakura agreed.

Sure enough, having money is really doing whatever you want.

When Ryuzakura and Sawako returned home, Sawako's father did not welcome Ryuzakura, not that he couldn't afford to raise a pair of chopsticks, but that Ryuzakura was a man, and he was afraid of gossip with Sawako.

But Sawako's mother is kind to Liusakura, she has heard about the fire, thinking about pulling people in times of danger, and Liuying is alone, and she has never heard of a bad heart, if she can be a wealthy child, it is not a beautiful thing.

In this way, Ryuzakura settled at Sawako's house.

As the saying goes, the buildings near the water get the moon first, and the flowers and trees are easy to spring.

Under the day and night of getting along with Sawako, Liuzakura gradually developed feelings.

Every night, Sawako sits under the cherry blossom tree in the courtyard with Ryuzakura, who plays shakuhachi, and Sawako expresses her feelings according to the emotions in the song.

The cherry blossom tree is a precious tree that Sakuriko's mother asked for when she was born, and the flowers that bloom on it are as delicate and fragrant as if they were carved from delicate jade pieces. The original owner of this cherry blossom tree once said that this tree has a spirit, and it does not descend without people.

Liuying and Sawako are so talented and beautiful, but both of them don't say their love in their hearts, and they have their own obstacles in their hearts.

In ancient times, there were strange people, but they were timid and afraid of face.

Although Liuying is affectionate, she is alone after all, helpless, and if she is really together, she can only face poverty.

Sure enough, the vast majority of men's self-confidence comes from material things, but in fact, this is also reasonable, and it can even be said that this is the inevitable result of history.

Men are stronger than women, this is the difference brought about by the body structure, and the pursuit of absolute equality between men and women is almost an unattainable luxury.

The strength of men is greater than that of women, which dooms the matriarchal society to decline until it disappears, and also dooms men to become the strongest between the sexes.

The concept of the jungle is also suitable for that era when there were no ethical and moral constraints, such an era has gone through a long time, so long that the idea of the supremacy of men is deeply engraved in everyone's genes.

I have to admit that no matter in that era, when talking about men's interests, you can never escape, lust, power, fame, and fortune.

The reason why 'color' is in the first place is because of its powerful power, so strong that it makes King Wu cut down, and so strong that it makes King Zhou Youwang Fenghuo play princes, so it also leaves a warning saying for future generations that "heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass".

It is precisely this concept for countless years that has made everyone think that a man must have strength to be worthy of the title of the head of both sexes, the head of the family, and the equivalent of money, wealth, fame and power.

Some people may say that because women pursue, men will desperately pursue all interests, and men can only be passive.

But no one understands that such a woman is not married to a husband, but to money. Then why should his husband marry a wife of money? just for the sake of a momentary desire for lust?

But the answer is, yes.

This is a correct answer that many people do not want to admit, whether it is a man or a woman, when the desire reaches a limit, all restraints will be left behind, whether it is moral and ethical constraints, or legal constraints, which is the so-called lustful and intellectual.

Not only the above reasons, but also countless factors make men associate self-confidence with material things, or even equate them.

The reason why Liuying didn't open her mouth to show her love was because of her own material scarcity, which was very realistic, but also very helpless.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is spring.

Ruzakura is still in the shop, and he plays shakuhachi day after day, and if he used to play shakuhachi to make a living, then the songs he plays now are all for Sakurako alone.

But Sawako's father has already seen through Liusakura's thoughts, and he doesn't want his daughter to become the wife of a poor orphan, even if he joins his family, he still doesn't allow it.

In his father's eyes, there was already a final candidate: Saikawa Ichiro.

Ichiro and Sawako are the same age, but they grew up together since childhood. And his background is even more noble, his father Saikawa Ryusuke is the founder of the half-Italian flow kendo, and even the general has a lot of respect for him.

Three years ago, Ichiro left Wanchen City and experienced it alone, and now that the three-year period has expired, it is the return of the flowers.

In the course of three years, Saikawa Ichiro was invincible all the way, and with the half-meaning kendo-ryu kendo taught by his father, he defeated countless samurai ronin.

Because after his defeat, he must draw a blood mark on the opponent's arm, so he sent the name: Red Stain Killer.

When Ichiro came to look for Sawako, he met Ryu Sakura, who was playing shakuhachi.

Ichiro wondered when a person from the flower shop had come to play the music.

Ichiro, who hadn't seen Sawako for a week in the courtyard, re-entered the flower shop, but what caught his eye was Sawako, who was smiling and arranging flowers, accompanied by flowing cherry blossoms.

Sawako, I'm back.

Ichiro stepped forward, and Sawako got up in surprise and ran towards Ichiro.

I haven't seen you for three years, has your swordsmanship regressed? If you can't retreat, I'll be staring at you like I was a child!

It's a memory that belongs to both of them.

Liuying got up and stepped forward, despising Liuying, who was a musician.

Red Stain Slash Saikawa Ichiro.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and their hearts were already overdone.
