Harajuku wooden cemetery

The time is not early, and there are not many worshippers in the cemetery, at a glance, there are white tombstones, and the whole cemetery is empty and slightly cold.

In Japan, according to the form of cemeteries, they can be roughly divided into general cemeteries, lawn cemeteries and wall-shaped cemeteries, and according to the nature of cemeteries, they can be divided into public cemeteries, private cemeteries and temple cemeteries, while Harajuku wooden cemeteries are temple cemeteries.

Due to the high population density and aging rate in Japan, many areas, especially in large cities such as Tokyo, have a serious shortage of cemeteries, so cremation is generally held in Japan.

At the entrance, a car stopped, and a woman slowly got out of the car, and when she got down, she removed the veil, and this mysterious woman was Sachiko Hando, who had not appeared for a long time!

Sachiko Bando was alone, and walked to the place of purchase, this section of the road was a two-minute hike, but there was no one, and after a while, I saw someone running over and bowed: "Excuse me, I beg your pardon, I wasn't there just now - did you wait for a long time?"

Sachiko Bando turned around and looked over, Xiang Wu was not very old, only forty or fifty years old, but his body was plump, and the whole person was very kind.

The manager of the temple cemetery is a monk, and a Japanese monk can get married, and doing business in the temple cemetery is related to the monk, not the monk himself, but his relatives and friends.

"No, I'm here too. Sachiko Hando's face was a little haggard, she took out some money and handed it to Xiang Buy, and took a bouquet of white flowers from her hand.

This is Xiang Buy, who is the monk's wife, looking at the pale face and haggard eyes of Sachiko Hando, bowed slightly to her to show respect, and at the same time she thought in her heart: "Hey, it's a pity to be a poor person again." ”

At this time, because it was not a normal time to come to worship and there was no such mood, Sachiko Bando walked directly to the cemetery in front of her.

If you follow the normal steps of worshipping relatives, Sachiko Bando will first go to the main hall to pay homage to the main Buddha, inform the monks to disturb herself, and some will also cover a little "heart fee" before going to the cemetery.

But at this time, Sachiko Hando will not care about this.

The cemetery of Keiji in Nishibetsu is located here, which was also specially placed by Sachiko Hando.

The Banto Foundation has no shortage of high-class cemeteries, but Hokkaido has a dedicated family cemetery located in the sacred forest of Harutorihime Shrine, perched on a hill that seems to be a park (in fact, too), with trees covered in thick snow and a place where locals choose to walk.

Quiet and serene, footsteps and crows can be heard all the way, which can give the deceased a very good rest.

Therefore, the Hando family felt very strange that Sachiko Hando wanted to bury her husband in this temple cemetery, and Sachiko Bando insisted on burying her here.

"Perhaps, Sachiko considered that Keiji Nishibetsu was only a son-in-law and didn't make any merits, right?"

In the past, according to the rules of the family cemetery, only people from the Banto family or those who had made significant contributions to the Banto Foundation (retainers) could be buried in the cemetery.

And Nishibetsufu Keiji joined the Bandong Foundation, his ability is mediocre, and he is not particularly outstanding, the only commendable thing is that he particularly likes his wife Sachiko Bando.

According to tradition, it is true that you should not enter, but now it is not ancient times, and this aspect is much more relaxed, and if you want to enter, no one will object, and besides, Keiji of Xibesu Mansion can be regarded as a martyr.

The Bandong family respects Sachiko even more.

At this time, Sachiko Bando walked to a tomb, the tombstone is very simple, but there is a posthumous photo of Keiji Nishibetsu, looking at the man with a simple smile in the photo, Sachiko Hando couldn't help but reach out and touch the tombstone, there was a trace of tears in the corner of her eyes.

"Keiji, I won't let you be alone forever!"

"I'll be with you soon!"

Sachiko Hando said, falling into a memory, not knowing what she remembered, and suddenly smiled a little.

At this time, a person came over, she was wearing a long skirt, her expression was solemn, she bent down gently, and offered flowers to the tombstone of the two pairs of Xibesu Mansion, but it was Bandong's sister-in-law.

It's getting late.

The lights shine on the tombstones and shrubs in a long shadow, but there is a kind of peace on Banto's body, which makes people feel not gloomy at all in this atmosphere, but feel a kind of peace, just like dreaming alone in the garden, with tranquility.

Sachiko Bando stood, ignoring Sakato, and only touched the tombstone with her hand more gently.

"Sachiko, my dear aunt, I really didn't expect that you are really the one who has fallen the curtain army!" After being silent for a long time, Bandong raised her head slowly and said melancholy: "This is really unimaginable, the eldest lady of the Bandong family will be the fallen army, and even now, I can't find your disharmony!"

"So, you're not a demon taking your body, are you?" said Bandong faintly.

Sachiko Hando silently did not speak.

"It's okay if you don't say it. Bandong didn't feel surprised at all by this reaction, smiled and said, "Let me guess, you are actually reincarnated!"

"Reincarnation is all over again, it doesn't matter if it's the one who has fallen the curtain, you are Sachiko Banto. ”

"But you were forcibly woken up, so you only had a while, and your nerves were a little abnormal, and you went to a nursing home for a while. ”

"The murder is just a cover-up, or it was done when you were in a state of confusion. ”

"When you come out of the sanatorium, you'll no longer be Sachiko Bando—right?" said Sakato Sachiko slowly.

"Now that I think about it, you completely replaced the original Sachiko, but you have the same origin, so there is no abnormality. ”

Sachiko Bando was still silent, and seemed not shocked by these words.

"Actually, there is nothing wrong with this, the two armies are fighting each other, and they do everything, but I have a question. Bando Tsuneko approached Sachiko Bando, took a step closer, stared at her eyes tightly, and asked, "Sachiko, do you really love Saibetsu?"

Hearing this, Sachiko Bando's body trembled, and her originally silent demeanor showed some cracks, and the shadow of Keiji Nishibetsu appeared in front of her.

She remembered that she had fallen into confusion and was about to be destroyed—if reincarnation had been so easy to awaken, it wouldn't have been so hard.

And a man saved her with love.

One day on her birthday, Keiji Xibesu made a kite by hand and handed it to her, because she once said when she was a little sober that her favorite thing when she was a child was to fly a kite, but now that she has grown up, there is no chance, and no one accompanies her to fly it.

Keiji Nishibetsu specially prepared this gift for her that day, but Sachiko Hando received it at the time, and she was not happy, but scolded Keiji Nishibetsufu, saying that he wouldn't even give a gift, and he didn't have any vision at all.

Although Keiji Nishibetsu was scolded for being bloody, he still didn't feel a trace of grievance, but just looked at Sachiko Bando and smiled.

At this moment, the silly smile of Keiji Nishibesu kept appearing in front of Hando Sachiko, and she couldn't help but smile, nodded, and said, "Yes, I love him." ”

"I really didn't love him before, but in the past ten years, I have been touched by him. ”

Sachiko Bando said, wiping the photo of Keiji Nishibetsu with her hand, her eyes were confused, and she fell into memories again.

"So?"

"In that case, why did you kill him anyway?" asked Sakato suddenly.

On Sachiko Bando's smiling face, a sense of complexity emerged, sweetness, remorse, and determination, it seemed that they were all in it, she smiled slightly, and said to Bando Sistere, her tone was gentle and elegant, and she sounded like a famous lady, but it sounded a little creepy.

"Because, Keiji is not only a good husband, but also a good man, loyal to his duties. ”

"Keiji knows that his talent is mediocre, and he feels sorry for me and the Hando family, so he actively wants to perform - especially the key cause of resurrecting you!"

When Sachiko Bando said this, her voice finally took on a sharp edge, and her voice quickened: "Even though I hinted many times, it's a pity that he ignored it. ”

"Stupid Keiji!" Sachiko Hando unconsciously burst into tears in her eyes!

"I've hinted at him many times!!"

"How could he not understand?"

Sachiko Hando reddened in the corners of her eyes and had a heartbroken expression on her face.

"Yes, in fact, you want to kill me, I understand very well, after all, we are enemies!" Bandong Yanzi instantly understood, her face showed unbearability, and she said without hurry.

"Is it just for the sake of ideals, so you killed the husband who loves you deeply and loves herself?" Sakato sighed, showing pity rather than hatred: "Do you know what you have lost?"

"No one loves you as much as Keiji does. ”

"It's not just women, it's men too, and there's a passage in the Seven Samurai. ”

"Naoko met an undercover samurai. Bandong sighed slightly: "It's just a kind person, how could she think that the man who loves her with all her heart and dedicates her life is a person who holds great righteousness and is determined to sacrifice his family?"

"Reading this, thinking about it now, I can't help but grieve, even if it's not me—Sachiko, do you understand?"

Don't I understand?

The organization taught her the rules and told her that only love for the organization is the highest and that everything can be sacrificed for it.

And Keiji Nibetsu didn't ask for anything in return, made her understand how beautiful it is to be loved unconditionally, and let her know the difference between "home" and "organization" - just died.

Or did she tell the organization about her whereabouts.

How many times did she shout "Jinger" at night, and only the cold echo knew how heavy this love was and how regretful it was to lose it, and she recognized a fact.

This love, she will never get a second time.

"So, what will the family do with me?" After a moment of silence, Sachiko Hando calmed down her mood and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hand: "Since you have discovered that I am the Fallen Shogun." ”

"That's why I say to you that there is no longer a second Keiji of Xibepsu. Without the slightest hesitation, Bando gave the answer: "Maybe Keiji Nishibetsufu will forgive you, but among the seven samurai, the head of the Morimoto family said about this matter - don't listen to the heart of Yuji Ishimaru (Naoko's husband), don't understand him, just execute him." ”

"Expelle Yuji Ishimaru from the family, don't record his deeds and name, erase all traces of him, and don't let it affect yourself and future generations. ”

"For people like you, it is the best punishment for you to die silently and be forgotten if you can never say your righteousness!" Bandong said cold words, but her eyes were pitiful: "Because when you have made a choice, when you choose righteousness and kill your relatives, don't be delusional to gain the understanding of your relatives - you are completely a person who has fallen behind the curtain army!"

"Your family is no longer surnamed Bandong, but Meiji, please go back to your home, don't come back!" Bandong Sister-in-law bowed her head and bowed slightly: "I think so, and my grandfather also thinks so." ”

"Sachiko, I'm sorry, please never come back!!"
