Chapter 6: Come, Listen to a Story
"Hey, hey, uncle, your story hasn't been finished yet~" No matter how hot the fight is outside the alley, but there is always laughter in the alley, Kenshin, who has fallen asleep early in the morning, is holding the reverse blade knife at the moment, looking at the dirty little ghost in front of him with a smile, it is really good to be able to meet a person in this world to listen to his own story, in this world where no one recognizes him, his own things will only be regarded as a story, after tea and dinner, it will become a story that others laugh about.

This feeling is very good, because no one will hear this story and show fear to themselves, and no one will listen to this story, looking at their eyes full of hatred, in a world where no one knows themselves, these things that have been prayed for and even hoped for are now appearing in front of them one by one, this feeling is very good~ really... It's really wonderful~
"The words of the story can only be touched by listening to it after a day, which is also because those storytellers are basically stuck in a paragraph and talking about it in the future, because people who listen to stories always need time to understand, and then look at the story and understand it deeply. Saying that, Kenshin smiled and touched the little beggar's head: "And it's not safe here now, it's true that you have to go back quickly, although you are a little beggar, but you won't have no place to live~"
"No, Uncle Kenshin must have just stayed here for one night, I know, since Uncle Kenshin can wear a katana on his body, he must be the same as those samurai on the street, but Uncle Kenshin doesn't look like a person of noble status~ Because of a person of noble status, how can he lie here and sleep. As he spoke, the little beggar stretched out a finger and said, "Speaking of which, Uncle Kenshin... Kenshin: Uncle, what's your full name?"
"Scarlet Kenshin. β
"Eh, eh, eh???! Scarlet Village Kenshin?!Is it that! It's the one on the comic!" As he spoke, the little beggar took a few steps back, looked at Kenshin in disbelief, and then pointed at Kenshin and said loudly: "How is it possible! Uncle Kenshin doesn't know how old a person is! How can it be that he is still a middle two who likes to play COS! This is no longer an older middle two, he is already an old man!"
"Boy, keep your voice down. There's still a fight outside~" As he spoke, Kenshin knocked on the little beggar's head and said angrily: "I don't want them to find me, and then run over to shout to kill me or something, I don't want to fight anymore, I'm too tired." β
"This is not what a samurai master should say, and Uncle Kenshin has been reduced to the point of sleeping on the street, in fact, you are a madao~" As he spoke, the little beggar stabbed Kenshin's shoulder, with a narrow smile on his dirty face: "I remember that in the park in Kabukicho, it has always been a gathering place for madao, and Uncle Kenshin should not be the ultimate goal there~"
"In the park of Kabukicho, you can probably meet acquaintances inside~" Kenshin rubbed his chin and looked at the limited sky in the alley in the dark and said, "Mr. Hasegawa in this world, shouldn't he have completely evolved into a madao~ No... Even without my help, he would have struggled... After all, he still has a wife who loves him~"
"Uncle Kenshin, what do you think of Edo and the shogunate?" said the little beggar, who bent his legs and put his head on his knees, looked into the darkness with empty eyes, and said. I've been wandering in Edo for almost 4 years, and I'm 15 years old since I first came here, and I've lived until now because I don't have specific identification, I don't have relatives here, and I haven't met well-wishers to take me in, I can't work, and I don't have anyone to support myself, even if I go to the black market to sell myself, no one will want to look at my thin body, so I grab food with wild dogs, and I have lived until now with the relief of those people, Kenshin-san, I wonder what your opinion of Edo is?"
"Edo...", Kenshin turned his head and looked at the street where there was still a battle outside, the angry roar between the sword shadows and the humans, and the trampling sound of footsteps on the ground was so familiar, Kenshin shook his head helplessly: "Did you hear that?" This is Edo, if you are not sure, it is better to stay away from here, Edo is a place where you eat people and do not spit out bones, if you don't have enough strength here, you should not beg here, even if you go to Jianghai, Wushu, or Changchuan, it is better than in Edo. β
"But I'm already familiar with it here~ Even if I have a lot of dissatisfaction in this city, but I!" The little beggar wanted to say something, but he could only sigh helplessly.
"If you don't have an identity certificate here, you can't live, if you want to have an identity certificate, you have to go to the shogunate to report, but you won't have the most basic 1000 registration fee, and they still need a guardian, if you say, no, under the bright surface of this river, the hidden darkness is far better than the light, you have lived here for so long, and you have heard of those darkness~ Maybe you have seen it with your own eyes. As he spoke, Kenshin pointed to the situation outside and said lightly: "If it is possible, I will go to Wuzhou in this world, although it is not peaceful there, but compared to here, it is really Wuzhou that makes me a little more nostalgic." β
"That woman... How is it in this world?" said,The look of nostalgia in his eyes flashed,The one who worries about himself,Find a harbor where you can take refuge.,Sanye,Are you still waiting in Wuzhou in this world for them to go back? Different worlds,The three leaves of this world must live well.,There won't be any situation.,Since you came to this world.,Go to her side to accompany her.,It's the only dream at the moment.,What a war.,What a void.,What a heavenly man,I've tried my best to face it once in my life.γ This time, if you say anything, you won't pay attention to that kind of thing again, whether it's hatred or bonding, is it better to come to this new world and start a new life with them?
That's not allowed, Kenshin will never allow himself to start a new life again, there are those things, Kenshin is tired, physically, mentally is already very tired. I don't want to see them again, and I don't want to have anything to do with them, and I can add some happy times and smiles in my life, which are precious to Kenshin of Scarlet Village, that is, himself.
"Forget it, don't think about those things, Uncle continues to tell the story! I still have to listen to it, did the samurai who fought in the war defeat the existence called Hao? His master Songyang must have been rescued by him, he is so powerful, even thousands of people can't keep him, if it is him, he will definitely be able to rescue his master, and then take that Miss Liang to live happily together, although this kind of happy ending is a bit clichΓ©, but in terms of the situation at the time of the war, it must be very beautiful, for each other!" There was a look of longing and adoration in his eyes, and the little beggar said with high interest.
β... Ah~ yes, he is so powerful, as you said, he successfully saved his teacher Songyang, and then retired, and he liked, favorited, liked very much, liked Miss Liang, got married and had children, and spent the best time together. After being silent for a long time, he touched the little beggar's head, and Kenshin said with a smile: "It's a beautiful story, for that samurai, that's enough, it's he... No, it was the most desired thing in his life, which had been obtained and met. β
"That's it~ Uncle Kenshin, is this story true?" the little beggar said, crossed his legs and looked at Kenshin and said: "Why don't I remember that there is such a story in the War, although it is far away from me~ But this kind of thing..."
"Fake~ How can this kind of thing be true?Because this is a story in itself~" The empty and vain eyes looked into the endless darkness in the depths of the alley, and the flies around the trash cans in the deepest part of the alley were enough to see, but in Kenshin's eyes, he couldn't see the road leading to the back, it was pitch black, even if he was now himself, all he could see was pitch black, on the road that walked alone alone, with the rancid stench of corpses and the sea of blood, step by step, towards a deeper hell. And how can the story you tell yourself be taken seriously?
"Cut! Uncle Kenshin actually lied to me~ I'm only 15 years old!" the little beggar patted Kenshin's back dissatisfiedly, and said with some puff.
Kenshin, on the other hand, didn't speak, smiling and stroking the little beggar's head: "Yes, that's just a fake and can't be fake... The story~"Ah~ It's fake, Kenshin smiled and leaned his head against the wall, just looking at the night sky without a little starlight and smiling, laughing, laughing...
Laughed until tears flowed out.
