Chapter 1444: Under the Snow (continued)
When Cheng Xiaoyu, Su Yuxi and Pei Yanchen stood in the square of St. Mary's Church in Tokyo and looked up at the endless sky, the crow who had returned to his apartment also looked up at the endless dandelions falling like rain outside the glass door.
He sat cross-legged on the tatami mat and watched the unruly snowflakes fall slowly in the silence, the white purity revealing the temptation, like the white butterfly he had caught with a net when he was a child.
"It's snowing!" The crow muttered unconsciously.
Then he stood up, stretched out his hand to open the two glass doors leading from the living room to the balcony, and suddenly the cold wind swept in with cold snowflakes, blowing his hair messily, and the warmth in the room was swept away, as if the air was being quickly drawn out of this small room.
A set of white stripes fluttered from the corners of the tatami mat, and a long, narrow black wooden box was opened, and a slender neon knife was placed on top of the yellow brocade.
The blade is about 80cm long, which is the standard length of the knife, and the blade is bent sharply near the hand, and the blade near the root is wide and narrows sharply near the front, creating a strange beauty, and the silver sharpness seems to seal a crescent moon inside.
There is no doubt that this is the neon national treasure in Su Yuxi's hands - the Three Days and Moon Sect.
The crow opened the door and walked back to the wooden box where the Three Days Moon Sect was kempt, picked up a piece of Oxford cloth that had been prepared a long time ago, and wrapped it around the blade of the Three Days Moon Sect near the tip of the knife.
Then the crow held the three days and moons wrapped in oxford cloth, and simulated a horizontal cut from left to right in the abdomen, and then from bottom to top, straight to become a cross-shaped, reaching the heart as the degree of action.
This is the standard active seppuku maneuver.
And the white striped pay is also a standard seppuku attire.
After doing this, the crow breathed a sigh of relief, and the cold wind not only did not extinguish the fire in his heart, but made it burn more majestic.
He put the Three Days Moon Sect back into the black wooden box, closed the lid with a serious expression, then pressed the oxford cloth under the box, and walked back to the balcony, he looked at the world lit up in the snow, and the big screen in the distance was playing the songs and dances of the idol group, and his heart was full of worry at the moment.
The crow was not afraid of death, but he was worried that in this declining era, the only people who were worshipped by the people were merchants and playsmen.
For people like crows, as Mencius said, "A gentleman has lifelong worries", such people not only never have a time to put down the burden on their shoulders, but often have to take extra responsibilities on themselves.
For example, at the moment, he has elevated himself to the guardian of this kingdom.
The crow looked at this white expanse and said in his heart: "Whether it is the people who once desperately defended this country, or the people who are trying their best to protect this country now.
He who dies will find rest, and he who has not died will be ready to die at any time.
This kingdom exists because of the protection of people like us, and if whoever wants to destroy this country, even the shelter of our souls, where will future generations remember us?
Therefore, I can only destroy the traitor first, even if he is a god. ”
........
Also standing on the balcony to enjoy the snow, there is also Ijiin Jingmei, her face is still slightly red and swollen, it is she herself who asked Ren Fei to really fight, although her mission is successfully completed, but it is far from her relaxed moment, she still feels that she is living in fear, the future is not safe for her, only when she is sure that the crown prince is dead, she can unload the burden of her heart.
If you ask her if she has ever regretted everything today, maybe she will have a moment of hesitation, logically speaking, she should be a woman living in paradise, her life should be carefree, a cup of tea in the afternoon, an idle book. A bright moon at night, a curtain of dreams.
She should lie lazily in a rocking chair, watching this mundane and cumbersome world rise above her, and write a little lyrical text as a bystander to expose the absurdity of life.
At the moment, however, she is at the center of the absurd.
She held Sakurako tightly in her arms, and when she looked down at Sakurako, her eyes were full of radiant tenderness.
If anyone can see this scene, they will definitely feel touching, not because of beauty, but because of greatness.
The sudden heavy snow, so that Ijiin Shizumi temporarily put down a heavy heart, the mood was a little happier, the wind swept in from three sides, so that the corners of her white skirt flew under the night sky, she held Sakura on the balcony on the 31st floor of the Sky City, looked at the white expanse, and turned Sakura twice and said: "Sakurako, look, it's snowing!" ”
Sakurako opened her big round eyes, looked at the fine snow falling in the sky, and wanted to reach out to grab it, and said with words in her mouth: "ゆき、ゆき.... さくら、さくら....”
Ijiin Shizumi smiled and said, "Is it okay for mom to sing you a song that dad wrote?" ”
Sakurako turned her head and put her arms around Shizumi's neck and nodded.
Then Ijiin Shizumi looked at the place that couldn't be reached and sang "Snow no Hana" softly.
"Ever-expanding shadows juxtapose on the red brick road
Walking side by side with you in the middle of the night
........
There will be feelings that can be overcome
I pray that such a day will be forever
The wind blew the windows and woke up the night
No matter how sad it is, I will change it for you with a smile."
.............
The snow did not cause any trouble to the couples on the street, but made all the people of Tokyo happy, and at this time, countless people were picking up their mobile phones to take pictures of the first snow of the year, all of them were like southern children who saw snow for the first time, excitedly scrolling through the circle of friends.
Someone drew a heart on the shallow snow, with two fingers, of course; Someone took a picture of the sea of lights and the heavy snow, of course, with a thank you for being with you; Someone filmed the crowded crowd at the subway station, and someone filmed the red maple with the snow.....
In short, on this night, the whole of Tokyo was set up with literary and artistic styles in an instant, and one by one, like poets, they kept admiring the snow scene of the maple leaves and the sea of lights, which was not romantic.
Whispers and circles of friends, all beautiful poetic sentences with small and fresh snow scenes......
Of course, this has caused secondary damage to the majority of single dogs, and they have said that it should be rainstorm or hail.
The next day, the news and newspapers were full of pictures and reports of the snow on Christmas Eve, and in a peaceful mood, Christmas 2016 passed quietly, and New Year's Day, that is, the neon New Year, was just around the corner.
On Christmas Day, the crow presented the lost neon national treasure "Mikazuki Sokin" to the crown prince through Hidehisa Nishioka, so not only was he eligible to participate in the Imperial Family's New Year's ceremony, but the crown prince also received him personally.......
(Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone!) )
