Located in the middle of Dew Street, Flower Drunken House is one of the best women's houses in this first Flower Willow Street. "The proprietress Kano was one of the Oiran of Dew Street more than 20 years ago, and it is said that a wealthy party wanted to redeem her and marry her, but was refused.

Many women can't take a step on Dew Street in their lives, so they have to die alone when they are old and decrepit. Jia Nai has been persistently guarding Dew Street for 20 years, and no one knows the reason or understands.

Kanai hired a doctor to bandage Rika's leg wound, and the doctor had opened a medical clinic near Dew Street for more than ten years, and it was not known how many times he had treated this kind of prostitute who specifically punished disobedient prostitutes. The woman's stick was injured, and when she saw a look of resentment on Lixiangjiao's beautiful face, she kindly explained: "Little girl, listen to me." There are thousands of fates for people, and being sold here is your life, people, you always have to accept your fate. ”

Rika finally looked at him with straight eyes, and the resentment on her face did not fade, as if she had squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth: "Quimman!" ”

The doctor's expression seemed to be kindly kicked by a donkey, and he blew his beard and glared: "A little girl of your character is destined to suffer greatly!" ”

Rika didn't want to listen to him, so she lay on the tatami mat and closed her eyes and said, "Get out." ”

The doctor walked away.

Kikuko leaned over to her and whispered, "Lily of the valley, you the doctor away, mom San-san will be angry." ”

Rika opened her eyes and glared at her suddenly, startling Kikuko: "My name is Rika." "- What the hell Lily of the Valley, isn't she called such a vulgar name!

Juzi's mouth was flattened, and she said unwillingly: "How good is the name lily of the valley, in summer, the yard is full of white lily of the valley flowers like bells, which is beautiful." ”

Due to Kano's personal preference, the backyard of the flower drunken house is indeed full of lily of the valley flowers.

Pear sneered.

The back garden of the Daimyo Mansion gathers all kinds of precious flower varieties at home and abroad, and the garden is full of purple and red fragrance.

The autumn breeze blows into the room through the window, and the autumn leaves fall on the tatami mats.

Kikuko took out a blanket and put it on Rika, gently tucked the quilt for her, and kept saying, "Do you really live in the Daimyo's Mansion?" Ah, your parents must have worked in the Daimyo's Mansion. Have you ever met Hidetoku-sama? Don't look at me like this, I've seen that adult with my own eyes! Four years ago, when I was not sold to Dew Street, I saw Hidetoku-sama from afar in my hometown of Yoshida who had come to inspect the fiefdom! Ah, he looks like a pretty gentle adult......"

The girl is immersed in the memories of the good past, her hands clasped in front of her chest, and pink heart-shaped peach blossoms appear under her eyes.

Really, which girl doesn't conceive. Spring yo.

Rika saw that she looked like she was gushing at the mention of Xiudeok, and she turned her body speechlessly and couldn't see it. Speaking of which, four years ago, Hidetoku did leave the Daimyo's Mansion to inspect his fiefdom, is that place called Yoshida...... Rika doesn't quite remember.

Not to mention what happened four years ago, even if it was four months ago, it was like a world away for Rika. Four months ago - she was still the unbeatable princess of the Fire Nation in the Daimyo Mansion, and the only thing that didn't go her way was that the Konoha ninja named Kakashi Hagi dared not like her.

Kikuko was still taking a bite of "Lord Xiude", Rika turned her back to her and closed her eyelids again, pouting her lips and muttering to herself like a mosquito: "Cut, it's just a nasty brother......"

The annoying brother, the doting parents who held her in the palm of their hands - these family members who were once within reach were now so far away from her. Far away from it could only appear in her dreams, and as soon as she opened her eyes, happiness dissipated like white smoke from the ape's flying pipe.

Kikuko thought she was asleep and left the room lightly.

Thin traces of water seeped out along the corners of the girl's eyes, wetting the pillow towel unconsciously.

For several days after that, Rika continued to put a dead face and not with you low. Cheap prostitute. With the dirty face of the lesbian, Jia Nai stared at her expressionlessly for a long time, smoking a cigarette and saying in a deep voice: "Put her in a small dark room and starve for a few days, and then release her when she learns to be obedient." ”

The Little Black House is a flower drunk house in the backyard dedicated to holding prostitutes who have made mistakes. The women's place is about the size of four tatami mats, and there are no windows, so light can't get in. Even in the daytime, as soon as the door is closed, it is pitch black inside, like a black hole of despair that never sees the light of day.

Lots of grumpy prostitutes. The woman was locked up in a small black room for a few days, and she couldn't help crying and begging Jia Nai to let her out.

Whether the eyes are closed or open, awake or chaotic, there is only darkness like the blood of a monster - compared to the stick wound on the **, the mental torture is more likely to make people rout.

Rika was locked up in a small dark room, and Kano had instructed no one to bring her food and water.

Late that night, the front yard of the Flower Drunk House was still brightly lit. Alone in the endless darkness, Rika can even faintly hear the drunken noise of the male guests outside, as well as the prostitute. The real and fake laughter of the women.

Rika hated this place from the bottom of her heart.

There was a very light footstep that gradually approached the small black house, it could be a cat or a mouse, and Rika didn't bother at all at this time.

With a slight "creak", the door of the small black room was carefully pushed open from the outside, and by the candlelight on the wall of the aisle, Kikuko's face was uneasy because of sneaking appeared in Rika's sight.

"Lily of the valley, are you alright?" Kikuko deliberately lowered her voice and said.

Rika ignored her.

Kikuko knelt down beside her, took out the hot rice ball from her arms, and the concern in her tone was very sincere: "You haven't eaten all day today, you must be hungry." Mom, San, and the others were all in the front room to receive guests, and no one saw me come in. As he spoke, he held the rice ball in front of Rika, blinked his eyes and urged, "Eat it!" ”

Rika frowned and looked at her. Although she was already hungry, she didn't know what supported her to ignore the rice balls in front of her.

It's not so much that he has backbone, but rather hummed quite willfully: "Don't." ”

What is this act of sympathy for her, pity for her!

Juzi was stunned, opened her eyes and asked urgently, "Why?" ”

Rika turned her face away and ignored her.

Juzi persuaded her for a long time with a worried face, but seeing that Rika was still stubbornly unmoved, she was finally so helpless that she even cried in her voice: "Lily of the valley, don't you do this." ”

There was the sound of footsteps from far and near in the aisle, and Kikuko hurriedly put the rice ball within Lixiang's reach, hurriedly got up and ran out, and closed the door. Even if it is not locked, the door of the small dark room can only be opened and closed from the outside. In the Flower Drunken House, no one would dare to let go of the people in the small black room without Kanai's permission - Kanai was convinced of this.

After a while, there was nothing unusual outside, and Rika sat quietly against the wall in the darkness where she couldn't see her fingers, not caring about the rice balls left by Kikuko at all.

"Lily of the valley, don't go against your mother Sang anymore." Kikuko's voice sounded outside the door, "Mama-san is actually a good person. As if remembering something, the girl suddenly smiled as she leaned back against the door.

Rika didn't believe that the hateful old woman could be a good person.

"When I was very young, my gambling father sold me to a wealthy merchant whose young master had an unknown hobby of abusing young maids. I spent five years there that life was worse than death. Four years ago, I finally found a chance to escape, and I was sold to Dew Street with many girls. Because my body was covered with scars from being abused, none of the wandering girls would buy me. ”

"You don't know, the girls who are transported to Dew Street will be left to fend for themselves if they can't find a buyer. In the winter of Kitano Castle, even the plum blossoms will wither in the face of the severe cold, and the orphan girl who has no support will not survive the winter. ”

"However, when I thought I was about to freeze to death or starve to death on the side of the road like stray cats and dogs, it was my mother-san who took me in. Such a beautiful man said to me, who was rummaging through the garbage heap, "Come with me, little ghost, and live like a girl from now on." Then I came to the Flower Drunken House...... Heaven and earth are so big, only this is my place. ”

It was only when she was hungry and tired that she was so weak that Rika would have the patience to listen to her for such a long time, but Rika didn't have a good impression of Kano.

The Flower Drunken House is a good place for anyone, but it will definitely not be a place for the princess of the Fire Country.

"Lily of the valley, you are so beautiful, even if your mother Sang didn't buy you, there would be other Wandering Girl House who bought you, and they would definitely not have Mother Sang to treat you well."

Rika finally remembered who was the culprit who had caused her to fall into such a situation - those wandering ninjas who abducted and sold her, one day she would pull them out one by one and cut them with a thousand knives!

The pear fragrance in the small black room was silent, and the chrysanthemum outside waited for a long time before she could speak. In the end, Juzi said softly and seriously: "Lily of the valley, I am telling you this, I don't want you to pity me. Mom Sang said that friends should be honest with each other and support each other. I just want to be friends like that. ”

Rika's eyebrows moved. You are a princess of a country, she has maids, guards, playmates, pets, but she has never had friends. None of the people of equal status, such as princesses of other countries, called each other friends.

Rika doesn't quite understand the term "friend".

The days in the little dark room mean nothing whether time flows or stands still. Sometimes Rika remembers some dispensable trivial things when she is confused.

She was still in Konoha before, and once in a casual conversation, she asked the silver-haired ninja, "There are so many orphans in Konoha, what did it take to survive well?" ”

Make no mistake about it, she asked these words with no malice, but out of sheer curiosity about the unfamiliar. Even if you know that silver-haired ninjas are orphans, it is an extremely bad behavior for a girl who has been pampered since childhood to unconsciously expose people's scars.

Kakashi's answer she had forgotten, and according to the person's character, she must have understated the past. Now that I suddenly remembered such an incident, Rika didn't know why.

How did the orphans survive and grow up with nothing?

Rika, the princess of the Land of Fire, has been loved by her parents and brother since she was born, has an admirable status, and enjoys endless glory and wealth, but what about these? Once she is far away from the ivory tower that has sheltered her for so long, she will be completely reduced to nothing more than an orphan. Everything you wanted in the past was at your fingertips (except, of course, for a silver-haired ninja), and the only thing missing was the experience of what you could gain by working your own.

Ah, even the Konoha ninja who shouted how much he liked it a few months ago didn't really care much - he probably just treated Cheng Dù like a pet who came and went at a moment's notice.

Rika was in a trance, there were a lot of things running around in her mind, but her body was so tired that she didn't want to move.

At noon, Kano opened the door of the small black room, and the sudden rush of light made Rika's eyes ache. At this moment, Lixiang's stick wound has not healed, she is hungry, she has not seen the sun for many days, and her original white and tender face is haggard and withered, like a tattered puppet with broken limbs.

Jia Nai looked at her and said slowly: "It doesn't matter who you used to be, but there can only be one person in the Flower Drunk House, is it clear?" ”

Abandon your previous identity and become a prostitute in the Flower Drunken House. Female lily of the valley - that's a great shame.

Rika hooked the corners of her mouth and sneered, and there was a bit of unyielding resoluteness in her tone: "No, yes, yes." ”

Jia Nai stood leaning against the door frame, staring down at her for a long time, and even forgot to smoke a cigarette.

--Obviously he had been forced into such a tragic situation, but there was no fear on his face, and the domineering spirit in his black eyes did not fall because of the bad situation, but burned more and more like a flame.

Such a person, even when he sees the coffin, will not cry - I really don't know where such a decisive courage burst out from that body that was as weak as a flower branch that could be broken.

If you really want to explore, it's actually very simple - Rika is arrogant and arrogant, and she can't learn to compromise with others for a while.

The autumn sun shone down the aisle, and the golden gauze of light drew a bright boundary at the door of the small black house.

"You only have two ways now, one is to continue to oppose me, and then die here silently; One is to be obedient and obedient, maybe you can find an opportunity to take revenge on me in the future. Take your pick. ”

After Jia Nai finished speaking, he turned around and left without hesitation, leaving the door of the small black room wide open.

Outside, there was the sound of water droplets crashing on the stone slabs, perhaps someone had knocked over the basin on the cloister on the second floor.

Rika was shocked all over her body - if she continued like this, she would probably really die here - and be treated like an ordinary prostitute. Female, buried somewhere in the corner of Dew Street, no one has mentioned it since then and no one remembers.

- No! Can! In order to!

She didn't want to die in such a filthy place!

She must live well and wait for the people of the Daimyo's Mansion to find her, and then set fire to this damn dew street!

And before that, what about forbearance, what about humiliation? One day, she will return all the qiē she has suffered!

With anger in her eyes, Rika gritted her teeth and stood up against the wall, walking out step by step towards the light outside the door.
