Chapter 57 There are no interviews with the parties

"Your daughter—I'm afraid she's already died once, isn't she?" A very bold stepping stone, it was indeed applied to the second conversation between Zhao Mian and Furukawa Akisheng, and it was such a clueless sentence, even enough to make many families angry, but it made the father who didn't look old show a frightened expression.

"Ah, I'm so tired of you. Zhao Mian took the tea brewed by Madame Furukawa and nodded at the other with a ceremonial smile - it was just a personal courtesy, even at such a moment, no one else but Zhao Mian could show a smile.

After saying such a clueless sentence straightforwardly, the result was that Furukawa Akisheng's expression changed greatly - but this man was indeed worthy of being the head of the family, and he didn't have any emotional struggle, he just bit the cigarette holder in his mouth, and then entertained Zhao Mian to his home, and then closed the door of the store, and then sat opposite Zhao Mian.

"So, what are you trying to do?" There was a little vigilance in his eyes, and there was also some confusion, but there was no wavering from the red-haired man's face, and a steady temperament came from him sitting at the other end of the coffee table, he stared closely at Zhao Mian, who didn't care about the high temperature of the tea just brewed, and took a sip, so he asked.

"Well, it seems that if I don't explain it well, you won't believe me, right?" Zhao Mian looked at the two parents in front of him - it can be said that they are still young faces, but they already have the stability of middle-aged people, these two people probably also have their own stories, but those stories have nothing to do with this matter, and they have nothing to do with their daughters, so I won't mention them- Zhao Mian put down the teacup in his hand, then reached out, took out his black reins with a heavy aura from the air in front of the two of them, and placed it on the coffee table between the two sides, "My identity is too complicated for you, and my origin cannot be traced to you, and I am not easy to explain to you too much in this regard, I am really sorry." But as I said some time ago, I am seeking the truth of something, and if it really relates to you, then I will tell you more about it - and here I am today. ”

"The truth in your mouth ......" Qiu Sheng frowned tightly, staring at Zhao Mian in front of him - and Zhao Mian was obviously not the one who could retreat under his gaze, he was just plain and still with his eyes, with an honest gaze to prove his words. "Does it have anything to do with my daughter?"

"There is a relationship - and it is not so much a thin relationship as it is a great relationship. Zhao Mian sighed, and then suddenly his face became serious, he stared at Qiusheng in front of him, and said, "I'm afraid you also know very well in your hearts - about your daughter Furukawa Nagisa, she is not a completely normal human to some extent. ”

"Kara!" The crisp voice accompanied Zhao Mian's voice fell on the floor of this house, and the owner of the voice was still held in the hand of Sanae Furukawa, who seemed very nervous at the previous moment, but the moment Zhao Mian's words landed, the old teacup carrying a cup of hot tea shattered into some sharp fragments on the ground. Zhao Mian moved her gaze - Sanae, who was sitting there, was still sitting there, and even her hands were still holding the cup, but the strength of her body had disappeared, and the shards and tea stained her clothes, but she was unconscious, just looked at Zhao Mian's face blankly, in her pupils, there was nothing.

"Looks like there's already an answer, isn't it?" Zhao Mian sighed again, shifting his gaze from Sanae, who had lost the ability to express himself, back to Qiusheng, and said, "That must be a very, very sad story for you, and you must not be willing to recall everything that happened, I'm sorry for recalling such a sad story - but since you are also a party to the events at that time, and you know a certain amount of events, can you please tell me what happened at that time?" This may affect my diagnosis of your daughter. ”

"That'...... It's not something worth revisiting. After hesitation, then hesitation, until Sanae, who had lost her expression, came back from her shock, and their hands were tightly clasped together, and in the midst of it, the warm bond was exuding its own strength. So, Qiusheng finally sighed softly, and then said slowly: "It's ...... It was a few decades ago, right...... At the time, I was a member of a theater troupe, and I was working part-time while learning about it, and Sanae was also teaching at a nearby private high school. He paused and took a small breath, perhaps as an action to soothe his emotions, so that he would not be unable to say the next words, "Both of us have their own careers, so we are very enthusiastic about our work—even after having Nagisa. So, Nagisa has always been alone, and we are all outside during the day...... Except for the night time, Xiao Nagisa is always home alone, and she ...... Always waiting for us in front of the door to get home. ”

[Always waiting for us to go home in front of the door.] Zhao Mian couldn't fully comprehend the warmth between relatives, the self-blame from his father, and the cry of the two convictions who had been silently burdened with all this for more than ten years, and all of this only occupied a few places. But it was such a sentence, like a spell, that led Zhao Mian's thoughts to such a heavy snowfall.

Just like every young man with ideals and full of enthusiasm, the young Akisheng and Sanae are devoted to their work, and the home they neglect gives them the most painful memories. It was a very cold winter, and the snow that fell down stained everything white, and the biting cold wind blew through everyone's cheeks, bringing cold pain like a knife. But that season didn't stop Akiyo and Sanae from working hard, one of them had a year-end performance, and the other had a group of students who were about to take exams, and they put in more effort than usual.

"It was a time we couldn't relax. Qiusheng described it like this, so at that time, as usual, they left the little Nagisa alone in the empty house, the only difference is that the little girl was actually infected with a cold at that time, but she still stayed at home obediently with a fever. The wind and snow that day were so fierce that both Akisheng, who was preparing for the performance, and Sanae, who was still tutoring the students, were worried about the child at home, the child who was always at home, looking forward to it, waiting, watching over them. But probably not, such a big snowstorm, that child should not be waiting for us at the door, right? Both of them were thinking like this, they were blindly trying, using some conjectures from adults to infer the child's mind, so that the painful reality also gave them the greatest and most powerful rebuttal -- the weak persistence of a silent and obedient child from a small child who missed his parents.

Nagisa did not stay in the warm house as they had imagined, and the stubborn child made his own statement with his clumsy actions: "I want to stay with you". The clumsy little Nagisa didn't care about her already hot body, she was just repeating her daily watch, the snowflakes in the sky gradually fell, and fell on her body coldly, the little girl didn't cry out cold, nor did she cry out for hunger, just quietly waiting, waiting for the figure that would appear in the distance, her father and mother, her father and mother, who had covered their hearts with the same clumsy excuses.

It must be a cruel picture, especially for Akiyo and Sanae who returned home, working hard, pursuing their dreams, and watering their ideals with their hard sweat, they were probably very satisfied at that time, until the ruthless reality used the cold wind to slap them in the mouth - because they chased the path of their ideals, but their most important people were hurt.

They carried Nagisa, who had been covered by the snow, back to her warm and cold home, and called the doctor - but it was too late, the doctor had exhausted all means to do nothing, and Nagisa had already been hurt beyond her immature body, and her life had come to an end, the body that was hot in the winter, and the final answer she had given to her parents.

It's a sad story, but it's not over. The young couple, who had never experienced such a sad thing, fell into a dark despair, and Qiusheng, who still refused to accept such a reality, picked up Xiao Nagisa's soft body, rushed out of the house, and ran wildly in the streets at night, praying loudly - that prayer was not to God, nor to Buddha, but just a sad father, babbling nonsense in the dark night.

Save this child......

"Running wildly. Qiusheng's gaze began to become profound, everything in front of him seemed to disappear, only the emerald green remained, and he opened his mouth to continue: "I...... When I got there, the only small hill in the town at that time, the only place surrounded by verdant greenery, and then the greenery there seemed to surround Xiao Nagisa. ”

...... [Is it all a dream?] I thought so......

In the early morning sun, Nagisa opened her eyes and looked at me, tears welled up in her eyes, thanking all things in this world, and then we vowed to always be by her side. Speaking of this, Akinag sighed before continuing: "Then, I gave up my job as a troupe, and Sanae also gave up my job as a teacher, and we understood that compared to our favorite daughter, the so-called ideals and aspirations were just a small handful of sand, not worth pursuing. We used all our savings to build this Furukawa bakery in this small town that saved Xiaonagisa......"

The story is over, and the two storytellers are close together, as if they are both relying on each other's body temperature to comfort their hearts. Their hands clasped gently, and from the beginning to the end of the story, there was not a moment apart.

"Your affection has been received. Zhao Mian nodded, and then broke the silence with words in the unspeakable silence. He hesitated slightly, organized his words, and then continued, "Well, let's explain it in words that you can understand. What you see is indeed not a dream, the vivid green is the power of the town, which replenishes the then weakened Nagisa with its own life, and drags the girl who has stepped into the realm of the dead back into your world - but all this is not priceless, Furukawa Nagisa's life is already connected to this town at that moment, she breathes with this town, spends each season together, and dies together. ”

"Your daughter, her health should have been getting worse and worse in recent years, right?" Zhao Mian asked, but he didn't wait for the other party's answer, but picked up the words himself, "This is because of the over-exploitation of this land by developers and the government, the life of the town is connected to the life of your daughter, and human beings are weakening the life of this land, so Nagisa's life is naturally disappearing little by little, this is a vicious circle." Zhao Mian sighed.

"So, may I ask Mr. Zhao that there is a solution to these?" As if hope, Sanae suddenly leaned out of her body, propped her hand on the coffee table and asked-her face was panicked and dazed, but the words she said were like nails one by one, firmly nailed to the ground, "If there is a way, please save Xiao Nagisa! Whatever you want, as long as we have it, we can give it to you, even if it is ......"

"You're so excited, ma'am. Zhao Mian raised his hand and blocked Sanae's next words. He shook his head and said to the two who looked a little desperate, "The treatment is actually already underway, and I came here a few days ago just to confirm whether it is your daughter." As for why I'm here today, I'm just here to inform the families of the two patients about some taboos during the treatment. ”

"What taboo?" from the sadness of hope, but in the blink of an eye turned to despair, but even the despair disappeared so quickly, and in the end, what was left was a doctor's order.

"It may sound strange, but it is also because there are forces involved in some planes that you cannot reach. Zhao Mian rubbed his temples with some distress, and then said, "After all, your daughter is not suffering from a physical disease, and the treatment cycle also takes a long time - this time is even longer than you expected, but what I want to say is only six years or something." He sighed, and then said helplessly, "I am nourishing this land in other ways, and I am gradually influencing the local government's intention to develop resources, so your daughter's physical condition should improve little by little, but during this time period, there is only one problem that needs attention- You must not allow your daughter to become pregnant, and if it continues at this rate, if your daughter gives birth to a child in six years, her life will still be dead. And in fact, even six years is my best estimate, and if you follow the principle of insurance, I am afraid that this time limit will be eight years. ”
