Chapter 16: Him in Her Eyes
It was under the night sky, there was still no shining starry sky, once when I was a child, I only had to forget it, all of them were some starlight worthy of my own remembrance and even nostalgia, in the eyes of myself who has grown up now, it is already all over any planet in the universe, that fleeting or passing in the dark night sky, it is no longer a meteor, but a warship, from the universe to the earth, the world into the flames of war, took away all their disasters, the expectation of childhood, is destined to be only an expectation。
"What are you looking at?" Dressed in a red samurai costume, Sumiya woke up from his sleep and saw the sword heart of the endless forest standing at the front of the forest looking down the ramp beyond the shade and grass. Rubbing her own eyes, she said a little sleepy.
"Look, Chengye, those are the people who asked for the way to the distance from us before, even if I don't want to murder them, but some fate, I still can't escape the past. Looking at the scene of shouting and killing and flames raging in the mountains and forests below, Kenshin shook his head, this sudden fight may only be due to a partial misunderstanding, but it is impossible to solve it under the action.
The idea of killing people to pay for their crimes, maybe only he himself in this world can have, but there are many people doing this kind of thing to get merit for killing people and exchanging them for rewards, whether it is the samurai hired under the shogunate, or those ninja groups living in seclusion somewhere, or the action and those gangsters in the streets and alleys, these people, these people, are the same. Because of a profit, because it can satisfy one's own greed.
"Aren't they dead? You know, you were treated like that, and they killed my brother, who is my relative. Cheng Ye couldn't understand the thoughts of the person in front of him, obviously he had such a powerful power, what he wanted to do with that kind of skill, and it would never be a sad thing to leave all those people behind, but because of an unwarranted mood, because he didn't want to do it, he was willing to endure ridicule, and he was willing to be treated like that, and he was able to act like a person who didn't happen anything afterwards. I can still look at the forest in the middle of the night...
"Their hands are indeed stained with the blood of countless innocent people, they are all killers, and they are all the most heinous people, but..."As he spoke, Kenshin turned around and walked over, blowing his red hair more and more under the falling leaves blown by the wind: "I am also a heinous person, and there is no way to judge sinners as fellow sinners, so I..."
"Hey!" Cheng Ye was a little dissatisfied, very dissatisfied, because the person in front of him was too contradictory, what kind of sinner he said, could it be that this guy used to be a famous executioner before? That's impossible, if it's really an executioner, with his identity as the general's sister, that is, such a noble identity, it is absolutely impossible not to have heard of him, such a dress, such a posture, unless this guy really ran out of a comic book!
"I've got to go down and stop them, it's a trivial matter to kill or not, it's autumn recently, and the weather is relatively dry, so they're fighting down below to kill the torches they hold in their hands, in case they fall on a pile of dead leaves and cause a forest fire..."
It wasn't until the moment Kenshin threw himself into the dragon vein that he really knew that these animals and plants on the earth, including the earth and the ocean, all of these were actually all the power of the dragon vein, and through the power of the dragon vein, he combed all of the above and fed this heaven and earth as the nutrients reincarnated by the earth, how much dragon vein power did it take for such a huge forest to grow, Kenshin didn't know, but he only knew that he had to go down to stop it.
"Are you really because it's going to cause a fire, or is it because... Do you just want to go down and stop it?" Cheng Ye squinted at Kenshin, watching the side face with a cross scar swaying in the light of the firelight, experiencing the killing of his brother, and he also fell from such a noble identity to the world, becoming a bargaining chip for everyone to grab, in this short period of time, Cheng Ye's growth must be beyond the past, maybe... You really can't look at her with the same naivety she used to have.
And Kenshin can only respond to Chengye's question with silence, because for him, he never knows what the specific thoughts in his heart are, whether he really wants to participate in it, or whether he really wants to stop the fire, it can be said that both of these thoughts are both, and it can be said that each has half of them. Maybe... This is the complex and unpredictable heart derived from the premise of being a person.
"Well~ You're not my samurai, nor are you a samurai of the shogunate, what you want to do is your own business, and I can't control you. As if he felt some decisive difference in Kenshin's side face under the swaying firelight, Cheng Ye's face was slightly ruddy, and he turned his head and whispered, "But... But remember to come to me, I can't go with you, but I'll wait for you here, in that tree. ”
Kenshin turned his head, looking at Cheng Ye's ruddy face, and a reassuring smile finally appeared on his face, so he pulled out the reverse blade knife he had inserted in the dirt and put it on his waist, and after tightening his belt, he said to the process: "Just like before, I will be back soon, and you don't want to be wary of whether the forest will catch fire when you sleep at night, right?"
"Cut~ Can't you be more honest than me?" Cheng Ye ignored Kenshin, but stood up and muttered in a low voice: "I don't know how to send people up, such a tall tree..." Before the words were finished, her waist was hugged by a pair of strong and powerful hands, and her small head involuntarily stuck to the chest that was agitating for the proof of life.
"I heard you. With that, Kenshin put Cheng Ye on the branch of the tree and jumped down from the tree alone: "Kenshin I... They will never break their promises, especially the promises of girls..."
"This only shows that you are a flowery man!!"
"Well... But Kenshin, I'm not a person who will make promises easily~" What kind of sad king is hidden under the movement of rubbing his nose with embarrassment? Cheng Ye didn't know, but tightened the red samurai uniform on his body, maybe for him... Or for himself, he is a samurai who saves himself from the first meeting, a samurai who comes out of the manga and appears in front of him. And themselves... After the initial distrust, he involuntarily regarded him as his own dependence now, and now after his brother died, the only reliance.
The people in the comics... Can he really come to reality? Chengye doesn't know, the only thing she can know is that if it is really Kenshin of Scarlet Village, then what is his past hidden under the cross scar in this world, and the embarrassing past hidden under the gentle smile now?
I can't say it, and I don't have the courage to ask, because after being afraid to ask, will Chengye change the relationship that makes him feel good?
In vain watched him disappear into the darkness of the forest, silently without a trace.
