Chapter 355: The Cruel Reality
From the very beginning, Cheng Yao and the others were already able to predict that this story was destined to be a tragedy, and the development of the plot was also very reasonable and very impersonal to the trajectory that people did not want to see, if there was no accident, in the next storyboard, the young Chengtian will even his last relative, his sister Setsuko will leave him....
Everyone was silent, and after a long time, Cui Ye said quietly: "The so-called tragedy is to take a beautiful thing to show people, and then break it! Destroy it! Fall into the dust and crush it to pieces with your feet! Then show it to you!"
I used to hate this kind of work very much, because if it doesn't make sense, it's just a tragedy created for the sake of sadness, and it only makes people depressed, and it doesn't do anything, but ...... I want to see this Grave of the Fireflies! I want to see it in its entirety! I want to see how the damn war is going to torment these two siblings!"
Unexpectedly, Cui Ye was able to say such philosophical words, he now looks like a poet, like a philosopher, and even Nanxi, who has always been untouched by his mustard, can't help but be a little impressed by him.
[Cui Ye: I've appeared in so many chapters! It's almost a million words! I'm finally willing to arrange for me to pretend to be forced once!]
[PS: The character Cui Ye, who made a cameo appearance by the author's friend fried chicken legs, is actually the character who is cheeky and asks for it, and asks me for the treatment of the protagonist of the harem when he opens his mouth, well, the conditions are indeed met..... Then the guy suddenly found me again, and asked me to give him a little pretend, and for the sake of the snacks in the mail, I would satisfy him once. γ
Nan Xi turned his head and glanced at everyone, "Have you adjusted your mood?" β
Cheng Yao raised the roll paper in his hand, "No problem, the paper towel is ready, the old driver will go!"
Everyone: "....... "You old filthy woman!
After secretly slandering Cheng Yao, Nan Xi opened the follow-up content.
In the dark abandoned cave, the elder brother caught the fireflies into the mosquito net, and the fireflies flying all over the sky were clearly extinguished in the sultry late night of summer, like a dreamlike scene, the elder brother hugged the sleeping sister tightly, for fear that he would lose it again as soon as he let go, however, war itself means loss, family, friends, life, conscience......
There is only one night in the life of a firefly, and everything passes away in the drunken summer wind.
The next day, a handful of small corpses of fireflies slipped from Setsuko's hands, mixed with the dirt, and turned into dust, as if the brother had seen his mother's equally fragile flesh burn to ashes.
In fact, her younger sister Setsuko already knew that her mother was gone, and understood the meaning of death and graves at such a young age.
"Why do people die when they feel bad?" asked her brother, whose tears ran across her cheeks, which had been extremely emaciated since some time.
Brother Seita didn't know how to answer his sister Setsuko, the bad news of death hit his equally young but strong heart again and again, mother, father, Maroda tears rolled down his cheeks at this time, maybe for his mother, maybe for fireflies, maybe just for the fragility of life.
Fireflies, although beautiful and dreamy, can only live one night, in the beautiful night, it shows its infinite charm to the fullest, and then quietly falls in the darkness.
During the war, even though the war has ended, but the materials are still very scarce, the price is amazingly high, the little money in the hand of the young Chengtian, he can't afford to buy an extremely scarce item like medicine, let alone hire a doctor, maybe in other anime works, there will be a kind and enthusiastic doctor character, help him for free, and cure his sister.... But the kind of situation that is like a play in the real world, the probability is directly negligible.
Chengtian used his mother's last savings to buy watermelon and some other food, and at night, he gently broke off a piece and fed it to his dying sister.
"Eat, Setsuko, I just bought it, I'm going to boil the eggs, you'll be fine after eating, what do you want to say, no, rest, Setsuko, don't talk, rest, you wait, my brother will come back soon, ...... right away"
Setsuko took the stone and said vaguely, "Brother.... This one... Cake... Here you go... Please eat... Do you think it's too hard? Watermelon, it's delicious..."
Due to the lack of food and hunger, Setsuko even made balls out of mud and stones and wooden blocks as cakes to 'draw cakes to satisfy hunger'!
Setsuko's face is full of smiles, Setsuko's smiling face is already his last hope and perseverance, as long as Setsuko can be happy and happy, Setsuda will feel that the whole person is full of motivation to live!
Setsuko: Brother, I will definitely make you well, and then, we will live happily ever after.
However, sometimes, fate is so cruel that it always inadvertently makes you fall into the endless abyss.
"Brother, you really love me..."After smiling at this, Setsuko never woke up....
That night, it was pouring rain, and in the cold and damp air-raid shelter, Chengtian hugged his sister's already cold and thin body tightly, tears rolled down, and Setsuko, who was not breathing, died.....
Mom, I'm sorry I didn't keep my promise and didn't take good care of Setsuko.... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.......
.........
"Bang!" There was a loud bang! Emi slammed his fist on the table and roared in the direction of Nanako, "Nanako! Why! Why did you let Setsuko die!?"
"Exactly.... Why is it?" Jiang Mi's voice became smaller and smaller, with a choked sound, and finally he slowly squatted on the ground with his hands around his knees, tears raining down on his hands.
Emi's sudden outburst startled everyone, but then, everyone turned their attention to Nanako's body, and the teary eyes contained the same question as Emi, why? Why did you let Setsuko die!?
Nanako had stopped her tears at the moment, and was sitting silently on the chair to calm her emotions, she opened her eyes and glanced at everyone, and replied in a sand voice: "There is no reason, this work is like that, it is war, cruel, sad, from the beginning of the war, people are destined to lose something important, that is the truth, bloody truth!"
Everyone was silent again, yes, there is nothing to talk about such a thing as war, war will kill people, and it will be hundreds, thousands, thousands, even hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions! If science and technology develop to modern society, it will be even more appalling, and a nuclear warhead will be dropped, the earth will be destroyed, and all human beings will be wiped out!
Compared to the bones that died on the battlefield, the Chengtian brothers and sisters are not even a fraction of a fraction at all, but they still can't accept it, because they died on the battlefield, it is just an empty number, although everyone knows that those numbers represent the accumulation of white bones that can be piled up into mountains.
However, it is common knowledge that people will die on the battlefield, and many people will die.....
But! Seita brothers and sisters, they are not soldiers! They are just ordinary people, victims of war, why should the damned war bring fear and death to their heads?! Why does the cloud of war hang over everyone? She is only so young, and her brother Chengtian, he is only a fourteen-year-old boy, but on his shoulders, he carries the responsibility and weight that even adults can't bear.
The war had just ended, everything could just start again, and an innocent life ended cruelly at an age when it should have been happy and carefree.
When Nanako was in her previous life, she had only seen the Tomb of the Fireflies once, but this time the concept was recorded in weeks, because she didn't see it all once, and the longest time she saw it was only about half an hour, because she couldn't stand it!
Every time I see the clip of Setsuko, the tears can't be stopped, the heart hurts like a pinprick, it's very uncomfortable, it's very uncomfortable, and I even thought that if I have a sister like Setsuko, then she is willing to exchange her life for her sister's life, that uncomfortable feeling, she feels that she can't forget it forever, and Jiang Mi is in the same mood now as she was at that time.
Nanako glanced at the tear stains on everyone's faces, everyone, even Cui Ye, the only male, was no exception, all of them had red circles under their eyes and tears on their faces.
She said, "Go on, read the whole manga and stay in the sad stage, you won't be able to understand this work, and you won't be able to remember it forever, which will be a pity."
So, please hold back your sadness, read it to the end, I hope you can see something from this comic, gain something, and deeply reflect on the disasters brought about by the war, not just a general thought, a very empty thought, only in this way, I will draw this work meaningfully. β
No one answered, Jiang Mi and the others were just silent, silent, silent, and did not make any other movements.
They wanted to blame Nanako, but they found that they couldn't find any place to blame her, because of the cruelty of the work? This does not become a reason, so they are silent, which is not only a silent tribute to her sister Setsuko, but also a silent condemnation of Nanako.
Although they couldn't find anything to condemn Nanako, Setsuko died, and this is the reason, because Nanako portrayed Setsuko's death so silently and depressingly, so painful!
Negative emotions,There is always a need for some way to vent,Even if their way of silently condemning Nanako,It doesn't seem to stand still.,It looks like a child who has an awkward relationship with an adult.,It will seem very naΓ―ve.,But they still do it.,After all,Blame the author when you see the unpleasant plot and bridge.,Isn't this a normal thing?
[The author's line is really hard enough, and if you have nothing to do with opening a courier, you will be cut by the blade inside......]
