48. Geisha extra
The flowers that grow in the dark are trying to absorb the nutrients, they are eager to see the sun, the warm sun. Longing to sway gently in the breeze and show your beauty and fragrance.
Suzuki has never run so fast in his life, please hurry up, hurry up, he wants to see the Thousand Islands.
When he was three years old, it was the first time they met, and he remembered it so clearly, remembering the first words of the other party, and remembering the other party's expression.
He cares about Qiandao very much, he cares so much that he wants to monopolize the other party, he wants the other party's eyes to only stay on his body, and he wants the other party to belong to him completely, this kind of perverted control makes him very frightened, so he spends most of his time playing the vexatious and coquettish friend. After knowing about the Thousand Islands and Aoki, he wanted to kill for the first time, and he wanted to kill the Aoki who robbed him of the Thousand Islands.
But he told himself that if they really loved each other, then he was not ridiculous.
Fortunately, Qiandao finally chose himself.
In those days and nights with Qiandao, he felt happy every moment, did God see him pitiful and gave him such a good Qiandao.
So now, is Heaven going to take away the only happiness he has?
Suzuki ran to his mansion, only to see that it was raging flames.
The flames surrounded the entire mansion, and not far from the door stood a crowd of people watching, some of whom were fetching water to put out the fire.
Suzuki looked around, but didn't see who he wanted to see.
Kuril Island is not here, is it inside?
Suzuki was about to rush inside, as if someone had grabbed him.
What are those sounds that are buzzing in your ears?
Who speaks in his ear?
The flames shone in his eyes, and he roaredβ
"Let go of me, I'm going to save the Thousand Islands! Thousand Islands! β
Kurile, are you in it?
Don't be afraid, I'll get you out right away.
Wait, I'll get you out right away.
Suzuki was crushed to the ground, his eyes still staring at the burning flames. He stared intently, his fingers scratching at the ground for blood.
Why stop him from saving the Kuril Islands?
His throat suddenly itched, and he vomited blood.
If he were recognized now, who would have thought that this man with messy hair, wolf bèi, and extremely pitiful would be the famous and beautiful geisha.
He opened his mouth, his eyes red, and he wanted to say something, but he spat out another mouthful of blood.
By the time Nanye's people arrived, the fire had been completely extinguished, but the house had also been burned clean.
Minamino had only returned early the next morning, and before he could get closer, he saw Suzuki sitting outside the charcoal-burned ruins. His footsteps paused suddenly, and he recognized it for a long time before he realized that the man with the scattered white hair was Suzuki.
He turned white overnight.
Minamino slowed down his steps and walked over, he first looked at the ruins quietly, and just said a word, he was interrupted by Suzuki. Suzuki's frighteningly large eyes were stunned, and he held out a hand to his lips in a booing motion.
"Don't make a noise, Qiandao is crying."
Nanno's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Suzuki with some astonishment.
Suzuki was serious, "He cried so sadly, he said he was in pain, it hurt from the fire." β
After he said this, he suddenly burst out laughing, and the laughter grew louder and louder, but when he laughed to the back, blood oozed from his lips.
His Kuril Island died.
Only a handful of ash remains.
He couldn't even find it.
Suzuki narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the sun in the distance.
A person like him, who grows up in the dark, thinks that he has sunshine because of a moment of peace, but he doesn't know that the heavens are so cruel that they take away the last bit of light from him.
A person like him doesn't deserve to be happy in the first place, right?
He remembered the time when he was dancing in front of the window, when the Thousand Islands were blowing shakuhachi, and those days seemed like a world away. Those memories were like shredded pieces of paper, blown by the wind, and they were scattered in the air, and he tried to find them, but found that he couldn't put them together.
He walked on the bluestone slab in clogs, and the person he could see was missing when he tilted his head slightly.
Where did that person go?
"Suzuki, be sober." Minamino wanted to help the other person up, but he didn't know how to do it.
He felt as if the person in front of him was a shell and had no soul.
Suzuki stood up tremblingly, he pulled his hair, but he looked at the white hair in his palm and was stunned, and after a long time, he said softly, "It turns out that the hair is gray." β
His understatement tone was as if it were just a trivial matter, as if it were just a dirty piece of clothing, and it would be enough to wash it.
Minamino reached out and grabbed Suzuki's shoulder, "Thousand Islands are not dead. β
Suzuki paused, then looked at Minamino sharply, his eyes suddenly shining like a dry well had been reintroduced into the water source.
Nanye's eyes were gloomy, "He escaped last night and was saved by my people, but he was too seriously injured and was out of danger this morning." β
Suzuki only had one sentence left in his head.
The Kuril Islands are alive.
He looked at Minamino and couldn't wait to ask, "Where is he?" β
Minamino clenched his hand into a fist, put it to his lips and coughed gently, his eyes were a little strange, but Suzuki didn't notice.
"He hurt his face, I've hired the best doctor, you should be mentally prepared."
No matter how much psychological preparation I made, when I saw the person on the bed with my own eyes, I was shocked to stay in place.
Minamino stood behind Suzuki and glanced over the other's shoulder.
I saw a wooden bed in the large room, and a man lay on it. The man's face was covered with white cloth, and there were many places on his body.
Nanno turned slightly and looked back, then turned his head back and whispered to Suzuki, "He can't blow the wind now, and he hasn't woken up, so you better wait for him to wake up and come back." β
Suzuki shook his head, took a deep look at the people in the room, and closed the door.
If he can't blow the door, then he won't blow it, he just waits outside the door.
This is three days, and Suzuki specially freshened up before entering the house. He looked at himself in the mirror, held a handful of white hair in the palm of his hand, and muttered to himself: "I wonder if Qiandao will dislike me?" If he dislikes me, I will be angry with him. After he finished speaking, he bent his eyes slightly, combed his hair neatly, and tied it up.
Outside the room of the thousand islands, I met the doctor who treated the thousand islands, the doctor was a taciturn man, and when he saw Suzuki bowing slightly, he left with the medicine box. After Suzuki saw the doctor leave, he stood outside the door for a while. He suddenly felt like a hairy boy who was about to meet his sweetheart, and like an old man who was about to meet his lover who had been reunited for a long time.
He gently opened the door and quietly walked inside.
The person in the bed was still quiet and didn't seem to be awake yet. Suzuki knelt down next to the other and didn't dare to touch the other, just watched, even if the other only showed two nostrils.
"Qiandao, you're going to be fine, aren't you?"
"You said we're going to go to the night cherry blossoms together."
"Somehow, my hair has turned gray, I'm afraid I won't be able to be a geisha anymore, you won't dislike me, right?"
Suzuki paused, he reached out as if to touch the other party, but he took it back halfway. His eyes twinkled, as if there were tears, but as if there were none.
"Great, you're still alive."
Suzuki smiled quietly.
The days passed slowly, and the situation in Qiandao seemed to be much better, and he could sober up for a moment a day, but in addition to his face being completely ruined, his throat was also broken.
He couldn't speak.
And Suzuki followed the doctor to learn how to take care of Qiandao, and began to slowly receive the task of feeding and changing the medicine. The first time he saw the true face of the burning of the thousand islands, Suzuki's hands trembled so badly that if it weren't for the doctor reaching out and snatching the medicine bowl in his hand, he would have dropped the precious medicine bowl.
The doctor looked up at him, "If you're afraid, leave now." β
Suzuki shook his head, he was not afraid, but distressed. The pain made him unable to breathe, and the fire must have hurt a lot.
He hid his hand over the bandaged hand.
Kurile, doesn't it hurt?
But his Kuril won't answer him.
***
Qiandao has been awake for longer and longer, and YiqiΔ seems to be developing in a good direction.
However, the murderer of that night was not found.
Minamino stood in the courtyard, unaware that it was already autumn. He looked at the withered yellow leaves all over the ground and said slowly, "How is the situation over there?" β
Furui stood with his eyebrows lowered and immediately replied, "There is nothing abnormal." He paused, his face hesitant, he raised his eyes to look at Nanno's back, "It's just, my lord, is this okay?" β
"It's a fake, but it's okay to let him live." Nanye's gaze moved away from the withered yellow leaves, he turned slightly and looked at Gujing, "You go back and tell your father, don't meddle in my affairs in the future, this matter is the last time, if there is more, don't blame me for not wanting this father-son relationship." β
Gu Jing was taken aback, "My lord! β
Nanye's eyes were gloomy, "How long do you think you can hide this from me?" Obviously, the rescue signal was released, and he actually rushed over when the fire was extinguished. My father took matters into his own hands and I was angry with the people who dealt with me. Gujing, you have brought back all my original words. β
"The shogun just thinks Suzuki knows......" Furui's words didn't finish, and he stopped abruptly under Minamino's eyes.
After Gujing arrived at the General's Mansion and brought Nanye's words, General Nanye moved the corners of his lips slightly, and the eyes of the Yin Eagle were on Gujing, "You don't need to say it, you know what to do." β
Furui nodded slowly.
***
Suzuki looked at the person in front of him and tilted his head slightly, "Qiandao, when you get better, I'll take you to see the cherry blossoms, okay?" β
After he said this, he suddenly covered his lips. Blood seeped out between the fingers, and the bleeding could not be stopped. Suzuki turned his head in a panic, "Qiandao, I'll go out." β
Suzuki stood up and stumbled out. With every step he took, he vomited blood, and when he reached the door, he grabbed the door panel, which immediately left his bloody handprints.
When he fell, the door was shining in the autumn sun, and Suzuki was in the shadows, his fingers moving, and finally his eyes slowly closed.
***
Qiandao, even if it's a fake you, I want to lie to myself for a few more days, so that I won't be too sad, and I have a β‘β‘ to borrow. Now I'm going to die, but I'm not sad because I can go see you?
