Kenshin was chopping wood, and the originally murderous hand was holding a firewood knife, and he was accurately dividing the wood at once, although he was a little tired, but it was surprisingly relaxed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I've kept you waiting, husband. Wearing a snow-white kimono, a purple silk scarf, and a little light makeup, Ba looked like a person in a painting, exuding an amazing charm.

Kenshin was slightly distracted, and then nodded: "Let's go, while it's still early, go to the village market." If it's late, it's too hot. ”

"Hmm. ”

It's August, almost a month after the Ikedaya incident, and the two have come to Otsu to live together as husband and wife.

There is only one small house, the place is remote, and there are no neighbors. Sunrise and sunset, that is, simple and ordinary, no need to think about the country's righteousness, no need to worry about the family business, just live simply, as if there are only two of them left in the world.

Same day after day, but not boring.

It's a secluded life that has abandoned the world, but it's as if you have the whole world.

Probably because happiness is all around us. Kenshin looked at Ba, who was praying with his hands folded and facing the Buddha statue, his eyes full of hope.

Ba felt Kenshin's gaze, raised his head, blushed a little under Kenshin's gaze, and looked at his body: "I...... Is there something wrong?"

Kenshin chuckled and took her hand: "There is a mountain road ahead, be careful." ”

The pace of the two was not fast, but the village arrived quickly.

After walking around, Kenshin bought a mirror.

"For you. ”

Ba took it, hugged the gift to his chest, and smiled contentedly.

It was close to noon when I returned to the city, and the weather in August was a bit hot, and even walking in the shade of the trees in the mountains could not hide the slightest hint of heat.

"Are you tired?" Kenshin said thoughtfully, "There's a mountain spring over there, let's go and take a rest." ”

"Hmm. ”

The spring water gurgles and glides over the rocks, reflecting a colorful glow in the sunlight.

"We might as well grow something. Kenshin said suddenly, with a smile on his face.

"What to plant?"

"Turnips or greens and stuff like that, there's always something to grow. When I was a kid, I used to help my family, so it should be fine. After Kenshin finished speaking with great interest, he said with remembrance: "It's a pity that the season is not right, otherwise you can grow some watermelons." ”

"Watermelon?"

"Well, Sister Yingluo likes to eat watermelon very much. ”

The girl who is like the sun? Ba tilted her head and asked, "Do you want to prepare some watermelons in advance?" Sister, she said she would come as a guest. ”

"No, Sister Yingluo is not a person who pays attention to vulgarity. Kenshin shook his head: "Is it the impression that the last incident left on you? Actually, Sister Yingluo is a very good person to get along with, so you can take care of her as a child." ”

"Child?" he was confused, unable to associate the handsome woman with the child.

"Haha, anyway, don't worry!" Kenshin laughed: "It's time to hit the road, it's getting late." ”

"Yes. ”

The two joined hands and walked in the direction of home.

……

……

"Is there any mistake, didn't you even bring watermelon?" Yingluo climbed on the hospital bed and stared at Saito Yi with disdain: "You're so embarrassed to come to visit the patient empty-handed." ”

Yes, the hospital bed, Yingluo is also in the medical center now, and the clinical department is the general department.

The head office was admitted to the hospital, so no one took care of the food, and she was a jobless vagrant, so she always had to find a way to fill her stomach.

It just so happened that she was also injured, so she cheekily admitted to the medical center, ate the sick meal, and put all the expenses on the head of the Shinsengumi.

"We've all fought together, what else do you have to share with mine, come on, this is the bill, you're welcome!"

Yingluo's words almost made Kondo's courage suffer from brain congestion on the spot, if he hadn't been able to beat it, he probably would have drawn his knife and fought hard.

I'm surprised that you were injured, but this injury only appeared after Ikedaya, so I was ashamed to say that I was injured to help the Shinsengumi!

Yes, you helped a lot when you were Ikedaya, and since then, the reputation of the Shinsengumi has increased, and the financial support has been greatly improved by the Aizu clan, but this is not a reason for you to eat and drink.

If you're really willing to join the Shinsengumi, it's fine to enjoy the treatment, but you always don't let up, which makes it hard for me to do it.

As a leader, the most important thing is a bowl of water, and I always have to explain it to the next one.

Even if I agreed, my brothers wouldn't agree.

You say don't you?

Director-General: "Ahem, no comment. ”

Toshizo Hijikata: "It's okay, it doesn't cost me money anyway." ”

Nagakura Shinpachi: "Miss Yingluo is indeed injured, so let her recuperate in the medical center for a period of time, and she can just accompany the general director." ”

Saitoichi: "Abstain!"

Puff! Isamu Kondo spurted out a mouthful of old blood, you losers, you don't know the price of firewood and rice! I obviously want you to come forward to refuse, why can't you understand my eyes, and the tacit understanding cultivated from birth and death together? I feel that I may have met a bunch of fake teammates!

In short, under the atmosphere of "happy and harmonious", Yingluo was admitted to the medical center, and every day like the retired old man who enjoyed the state allowance, he either teased the young and beautiful nurse, or chatted with the general director to discuss life.

Today, Saito came to visit the patient, but he was empty-handed, so there was the scene from before.

In the face of Yingluo's accusation, he paused for a moment and nodded expressionlessly: "I'll bring it next time." ”

Very good, teachable!

Yingluo didn't forget to remind: "Watermelon, remember to bring watermelon." ”

"Watermelon?" Saito asked curiously, "Why?"

Yingluo said seriously: "It is common sense to bring watermelon when visiting the sick." ”

Saito thought about it carefully, shook his head, and said, "No, I've never heard of such common sense. ”

"Haven't you heard about it today?" Ying Luo narrowed his eyes.

"......" Saito looked at Eiroku with a suspicious gaze.

Yingluo put on a kind smile like a Buddha.

The general secretary's face was flushed, and her shoulders shook with a smile, of course she knew that Yingluo just wanted to eat watermelon, and she had been yelling for several days.

"Sorry, will bring gifts, but no watermelon. Eventually, Saito gave this answer.

"Why!" Yingluo asked dissatisfiedly, is it so difficult to eat a watermelon?

"Because watermelons are too expensive!" said Saito, very bluntly.

Burst!

The head secretary couldn't hold back his laughter, but immediately covered his mouth.

Ying Luo glanced at the head secretary, and said to Saito without giving up: "You are also the captain of the Shinsengumi, aren't you enough to buy a watermelon?"

"It's enough, but I've been saving money lately, so I'm limited in spending?"

"Save money, why are you saving money?"

"Take a wife. ”

"What!" Young-rook was taken aback and almost didn't jump out of bed.

"I'm going to save money to marry a wife, what's the problem?" Saito still had a blank expression.

"No...... I mean, how can you think about marrying a wife, do you have a crush on someone?" is obviously fierce and doesn't smile, but has always held the idea of starting a family, I'm sorry for your fierce eyes!

Speaking of which, the woman who can accept you is not a female bodhisattva who descends to earth?

Saito shook his head and replied solemnly: "Not yet, but I'm twenty-one this year, and I should have married a wife a long time ago, so I've been saving money, and it's a rainy day." Although the world is not good now, at least it is the responsibility of a man to let his wife not worry about food and clothing. ”

What you say makes so much sense, I'm speechless!

Yingluo's expression was very exciting, and then he offered his blessings: "Then I wish you to find the woman you like as soon as possible!" and then added helplessly: "Watermelon is not needed." ”

Saito bowed very seriously: "Accept your auspicious words, and please enjoy the light and drink a glass of wine." ”

"Ah, it must be ......"

It is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a single family.

Everyone has worked so hard, and it seems too much to pit him again.

So, goodbye, Watermelon-kun!

"I heard your voices talking outside, what are you talking about?" Isamu Kondo walked in and nodded to Yingluo: "Yingluo girl, your voice is the loudest, it seems that the injury should be almost healed." ”

"Oops, the wound hurts, my head is dizzy, cough cough, I feel like I need to be treated again......" She hurriedly covered her chest, coughing again and again, pretending to be about to drive west.

The corners of Isamu Kondo's mouth twitched, but he still endured it, and he turned to the head office and said, "Okita, how are you injured now?"

The general secretary was stunned for a moment, saw a trace of urgency in the other party's eyebrows, and asked, "Did something happen?"

Isamu Kondo was silent for a moment and replied, "In retaliation for the Ikedaya incident, the Choshu Domain raised troops and went to Luo!"

"What!"

"Is the dog jumping off the wall in a hurry?" Okita Soji got down from the hospital bed, although his face was pale, but his eyebrows were full of perseverance: "Ichiban team captain Okita Soji, please return to the team!"
