Chapter 26: The Road Ahead

Ba's housework is full, his hands and feet are neat, and he has been busy for a long time, and he finally cleaned up the mess properly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Yingluo was lying on the bed, Xiao Xun was lying on top of her, and the two slept soundly.

Kenshin stood outside the house, saw Ba come out, took the laundry tub and dirty clothes from her hands, and the two of them walked towards the river together.

"Thank you so much today, I don't know what I would have done without you. Kenshin walked ahead and thanked him.

Ba shook his head, and remembered that Kenshin couldn't see it, so he said, "It's nothing, it's not too laborious, and it's ......"

"And?"

"I really like it. ā€

"Really?" Kenshin understood what she meant, and compared to the days in Kyoto, the current farming life may be the pursuit of most people's lives.

Simple, peaceful, happy.

He raised his head, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said with a smile: "The days go by so fast, I don't know how long it has been since I appreciated the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival." ā€

Ba stroked his hair behind his ears with his hand and raised his head as well: "In the evening, I admired the autumn madder. ā€

Madder, just a good name for wild grass, may have some medicinal value, but most of the effects are only psychological.

Is there any point in appreciating this plant? Or is it worth appreciating this plant?

Kenshin suddenly remembered what Yingluo had said to him.

"There is no lack of beauty in life, what is missing is the eye to find it. ā€

The bright moon was always beautiful, but he never wanted to see it.

Madder grass can be found everywhere, but Ba is willing to spend a few minutes and stop to watch, so it becomes beautiful.

I'm really missing a lot of things, and she's reminding me?

A hint of gratitude came to Ken's heart.

Ba continued to whisper: "I don't know what will happen in the future, and how long will I live here?"

Although the days were good, both of them knew that it was nothing more than a helpless move.

Under the threat of the enemy, they found the life they had always dreamed of.

Inexplicably ironic, somewhat ridiculous.

Kenshin was silent for a moment, then replied, "I think we'll have to stay here for a while, and before that...... "Please enjoy the present time."

The latter words were not spoken.

But Ba understood, and she nodded silently.

The two continued on their way, some way from their destination.

"Speaking of which, you never asked me?" Ba suddenly spoke, after a few steps.

"Huh?" Kenshin didn't understand.

"You never asked me about my origins......

"Are you still thinking about Sister Yingluo just now?" Jian Xin shook his head: "She has no malicious intentions, she just asked casually, don't care, she is not suspicious of you." ā€

"No, I mean...... You, won't you doubt me?" Bar pulled Kenshin's sleeve and lowered his head, unable to see her expression: "Why did I appear there that night, why did I stay in Ogiya, why did I come to Otsu with you...... Don't you care about any of this?"

Kenshin turned around slowly and said very seriously: "Actually, I'm really sorry for you, you are such a wonderful woman, but you want to live with someone like me. Although it is to hide his identity, it is a fact that cannot be changed because he lives in the relationship of husband and wife. So, I'm not in a position to make irresponsible comments about your origins. ā€

"It's not surprising that in this world, everyone has their own secrets. I don't doubt you because of this, but I'm grateful, and all I can do is try to make life better and protect you from being hurt again. So...... When you feel fit, tell me all about it, and I will be very honored to have this qualification. ā€

Ba loosened Kenshin's sleeve, trembling all over, and said in a slightly choked voice, "You, really...... It's very gentle. ā€

"Really?" Kenshin smiled and said, "It's the first time anyone has said that about me." ā€

"But why should a person like you be an executioner, why should you kill someone?" Ba's question seemed to contain endless pain.

Kenshin froze, the smile disappeared, and then sighed lightly. He continued to walk forward, Ba following behind.

"I have followed the purpose of the Flying Sword-Flow, and I have wielded my sword for the happiness of others. Ironically, I didn't know what happiness was at the time, and I was ashamed to say that I wanted to protect it, and now that I think about it, I'm really conceited. ā€

"It's hard time here, fetching water, farming, repairing houses, defending against wild beasts, everything I have to do my best. But living with you here has made me understand that the so-called happiness is not a casual word that comes out of my mouth, but a hard-won harvest through hard work and hardship. It's so heavy, so heavy on my shoulders, so breathless, and so light, it gives me the strength to accomplish one goal after another. ā€

"I've also been confused about what I've been fighting for, and whether I'm going to continue fighting. I have now got the answer to this question. ā€

"I will continue to fight, both for the people I want to protect and for those who die by my sword......"

"However, when the new era comes, I will no longer kill people, I will find a way to protect my happiness without killing people, and spend my life to pay for the sins I have committed!"

Ba's tears filled her beautiful face at some point, she couldn't speak, she touched the short knife in her belt, looked at the figure in front of her, and her whole body trembled.

Why, are you so...... Gentle.

She suddenly understood what Kenshin had said in the izakaya.

"If you know too much about the person you want to kill, you won't be able to do it. ā€

She, maybe shouldn't have been close to Kenshin.

She may not be able to do it.

……

Yingluo felt as if it was raining, and when she opened her eyes, she realized that it was Kaoru who gnawed on her face, saliva smeared her face, and then there was severe pain.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, my head is going to explode!" Yingluo covered her head, and the pain of the hangover made her heart go to death.

Kenshin and Ba Wensheng walked in.

"Haha, Sister Yingluo, now that you know the pain of alcoholism, I advise you to quit bars as soon as possible. ā€

"What, what's the joke. Ying Luo said stiffly: "I won't quit drinking if I quit eating!"

Kenshin pursed his lips and said with a look of schadenfreude: "Then you can continue to suffer." ā€

"Damn little ghost!" Yingluo covered his head, his teeth itching with anger: "I don't care, quickly find a way for me." Why don't you wait for me to get better, and see how I clean you up!"

Jian Xin shuddered when he heard this, isn't this a disaster, he said unconvinced: "What can I do, you don't have to make trouble, okay?"

"I don't care, I don't care!" Ying rolled on the bed: "I can't even cure a hangover headache, my brother can't be so useless......"

Kenshin almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of old blood, you have to drink so much yourself, it's my business!!

"That ......" Ba said weakly: "I will order massage techniques, it is very effective for hangovers, do you want to give it a try?"

Ay?

The two were stunned when they heard this, and Yingluo hurriedly said, "If you want it, how do you need me to cooperate?"

Ba Zaiying sat down next to Yingluo and put her head on her lap: "That's it, sister, you close your eyes and relax your whole body." As he spoke, he gently massaged his hands on Yingluo's temples.

Knee pillow, this is the first time in two lives, but it's a pity that it's someone else's daughter-in-law...... But thinking about it like this, it seems to be a little more emotional, especially when her husband is still watching from the side.

Hey, hey, hey......

Inadvertently, it seems to open the door to a new world.

"How does it feel, is the strength still appropriate?"

"It's right and suitable, my head doesn't hurt at all!" Yingluo's face was full of enjoyment: "Ba, you are beautiful and gentle, you cook deliciously and can take care of children, you are good at housework and know how to massage, it seems that there is nothing you can't do, it's just Doraemon!"

Ba looked strange: "Dora...... A-dream, forgive me for being lonely and unheard, I haven't heard of this person. ā€

It's strange if you've heard it.

Yingluo waved his hand, skipped the topic, turned to Jian Xin and said, "Jian Xin, your daughter-in-law is really good, or you can do it well, just give it to me." ā€

He meant it, but it was clear that Kenshin and Ba both took it as a joke.

Jian Xin snorted proudly: "Don't think about it!" After speaking, he walked out of the door, he still had a lot of firewood to chop, so he didn't have time to accompany Yingluo to talk nonsense.

"Stinky little ghost!" Ying Luo cursed, and suddenly asked Ba, "What happened after I got drunk last night?"

Ba Leng shook his head for a moment: "There is nothing special, what's wrong?"

Yingluo closed his eyes with a smile and enjoyed the other party's massage: "It's nothing, it's just one night, and that little ghost's eyes have changed." He was a lost child, but now he has found his way forward. ā€

Yes, he's found his way.

But what about mine?

Ba asked himself, but he couldn't get an answer.
