CHAPTER XXXII

The anchor was stunned for a while before accepting the fact that he had slept for many years......

It's not that this thing is too magical, after all, more magical things have been experienced, but - this room, it stands to reason, the owner has been asleep for so long, and the dust on the floor should have been covered with several layers, but the anchor found that it seemed to be too clean, the placement of objects has not changed, and his mobile phone and the blue stone are safely placed at the head of the bed.

It's just that the flowers on the table are very unfamiliar, with a basket full of small white flowers, and the petals still have residual traces of water, which are vigorous and exceptionally fresh.

Someone put it here on purpose.

"At first, it was Zhuma and Zhenning who came to clean it, and then it became Zhenning and me, and in the end, I was the only one left." Madara Uchiha, who had grown up, walked over, grabbed a handful of flowers from the basket and glanced at them casually, then let go of his hand and let the flowers slip through his fingers. He looked back at the anchor and said lightly: "It's been a long time. ”

“…… yes, thank you. ”

The anchor sat stunned for a while, slowly raised his hand and touched his face - but what he touched was the mask that he hadn't taken off. He was probably in a daze, and his mind was in a mess, otherwise, how could he think that Madara's words seemed to have a deep meaning?

Moreover, the little ghost Madara Uchiha in his memory jumped up a lot overnight, and his personality seemed to have become unfamiliar.

Luckily, though, he can adapt.

"Speaking of which, I actually saw you as soon as I woke up...... What a coincidence. ”

The anchor is dry. He originally wanted to break the silence, but Madara Uchiha's next words made his heart sink-

"Didn't I say that the next time we meet, we will continue the topic that has not yet begun."

"What? What do you mean......"

The anchor suddenly paused. I remember that there was indeed a night when Madara Uchiha appeared here in the rain, and he hadn't grown up at that time.

Inexplicably, I had a bad premonition.

How many years is "good for years"? How much has happened during this time?

"You had a conflict with the pillars? No, the most important thing is—"

"Zhenning, is there something wrong?"

Madara Uchiha looked at him, but said, "I'll take you back to the clan land." ”

"Don't you like to let outsiders approach...... the anchor said reluctantly in a relaxed tone, his hands propped on his sides trying to stand up.

"I'm already the patriarch, it's nothing to bring someone back." Madara Uchiha said lightly. He didn't intervene to help, was silent for a moment, and suddenly sighed.

"Let's go, go see Zhenning—though, all you can see is the tombstone."

"Twenty years. You're waking up too late, Ning. ”

What does twenty years mean?

It can make the best friends of the beginning part ways, can make the child change his appearance, and of course, can also bring ...... Death.

Among the countless tombstones with names engraved on them, the stone monument of Uchiha Shining is too small and inconspicuous at all. The words on the stele were worn out by the wind and rain and were no longer clear, which is also the passage of time.

“…… When? ”

"When he was eight years old."

Madara Uchiha's voice came from behind.

"Uchiha was hired by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire to escort the princess of Kazukina to marry the son of the Daimyo, and I didn't go that time, Shinin went. On the day of the wedding, they were attacked by the enemy, and only two of the more than a dozen Uchiha clansmen returned. ”

"They said that Zhenning was originally protecting the princess, but when the enemy attacked, the son of the daimyo pushed him out to block the enemy's sword, and fell off the cliff with the princess and was washed away by the river."

"--When I arrived, I couldn't even find the body."

The anger that has been suppressed in my heart for many years, I have waited for so long, and I have finally waited for this time.

"I'm sorry, I-"

"You don't have to apologize, it's not your fault."

Madara Uchiha also walked over to his brother's tombstone, his gaze sweeping over the familiar name, and eventually, landing on the anchor's clenched fist under his sleeve. The crimson color oozed from the fingers indistinctly, and the nails pinched the palms of the hands, and the blood was unconsciously pinched.

"That's right, even if I'm sober, I can't seem to stop anything." The anchor said softly. He turned his head and noticed that Madara Uchiha's eyes had turned red at some point, and a strange pattern appeared in his eyes.

He grabbed the anchor's arm, and an expression of anger and sadness appeared on his handsome face for a while, and he roared: "Except for me, except for Izumi, who else can always remember Zhenning is only you!" The tribesmen will not think of him, because too many children of the same age have died. Neither can Izumi, for him, this is not the most important thing, Zhenning is just one of the dead younger brothers - oh, even we can't, death will soon take away a qiē! ”

In this day and age, Madara Uchiha is like an outlier. He would be grieved by the loss of his young brother and disappointed by the numbness of death by those around him. The Thousand Hands Pillars are another anomaly, but they can only be enemies now.

Therefore, he has been patient, holding that depression in his heart.

There are still people who can understand him.

That person can only be the only one he has left - and a friend he only knows because of Zhenning.

What would he say when he saw Zhenning's tombstone?

Madara Uchiha felt the twisted emotion and thought with some curiosity.

He said—

"No, little brother Madara, I won't forget him, I won't forget Jì Zhenning."

There was finally a look of pain in those black eyes. The anchor grabbed Madara Uchiha's sleeve with his backhand, and his fingers trembled a little. He kept repeating the same sentence, as if he was reaffirming himself and Madara Uchiha.

Death, death, that's the word again.

The anchor finally found out that he was still afraid of death. It's just that what he fears is the death of someone else.

It's as if at the beginning, when he struggled to find the pile of corpses all over the ground, and found the tattered bodies of his parents inside, he found that they had quietly lost their temperature, and he couldn't help but wonder - they are dead, why am I still alive?

There is a long time of wandering all the time. He rarely has contact with people, and he doesn't have much to worry about, but he can still detect some traces of sadness.

Ten years ago, he was invited in by a farmer to drink a cup of tea, and the host and his wife were very enthusiastic, which left a deep impression on him, so he passed by the neighborhood ten years later and came to the old place to take a look. Before he could get closer, he saw that the courtyard had not changed much, but the faint mourning music had drifted to his ears.

The passers-by you have met, whether it is good or bad, can only have one final result.

For so many years, Jin Jiangning deliberately kept a distance from ordinary people, although it was a little boring, but he lived a leisurely and happy life. However, after Jin Jiangning became an anchor, after meeting those kind and gentle friends, he never wanted to be lonely anymore.

I'm sorry, Zhenning......

"I will remember Zhenning, and I can't forget it if I want to."

The anchor let go of his hand, and saw that Madara Uchiha seemed to be shocked, the corners of his mouth under the mask were slightly hooked, and he took this opportunity to rub the fried hair that Madara had left.

"You're going to have to try to live longer, little brother. Until I can't keep you forever. ”

Madara Uchiha was surprisingly stunned for a long time, the vivid expression on his face disappeared, and his eyes were no longer red, so he slapped the anchor's hand away and sneered: "Little brother? You can still scream. ”

"You can't deny me the right to call you little brother just because you don't want to call me brother."

"Huh."

Barely quipped, they were in no mood to pull it off anymore. Standing quietly in front of the tombstone, the anchor suddenly said, "Little Brother Madara...... Have you taken your revenge? ”

Madara Uchiha said coldly, "The ninja who surrounded them died back then. ”

"And there's more."

Madara Uchiha didn't speak, but the streamer could clearly see disgust and hatred in his eyes.

I see.

Ninjas are just tools of the daimyo, and even if the Uchiha has great force, whether it is for the sake of the family or out of the ideas promoted by some dignitaries, Madara Uchiha cannot attack the daimyo.

The guy who pushed Uchiha Shinin to the blade at the beginning is now the daimyo of the Fire Country.

The anchor took a deep breath.

He subconsciously pinched the stone in his pocket, and for a short time, countless chaotic thoughts crowded into his mind, which made him very upset.

In the end, after struggling for so long, he finally made a decision.

He said very blandly, "I guess there are a lot of people who want to be your big name." ”

After saying that, the anchor looked at Madara Uchiha's face. Seeing his pupils shrink, his expression froze for a moment. After reacting, he also stared at the anchor, his lips moved, and slowly, he showed a satisfied smile.

"That's right. It's ridiculous that I'd put up with this for so long—"

"In that case, it's just a matter of changing to an obedient name."

Madara Uchiha told the anchor that the daimyo is not changing, and he is going to marry a new princess recently, and he originally just wanted to do something to women, but now it seems that the plan has to be changed again.

He was still smiling, and his smile was still expanding. It was not only joy, but also a hideous killing intent that could not be concealed. Madara Uchiha's personality was already restless and devoid of reverence for those in power, but now, the shackles of narrow-mindedness are easily broken, revealing his ambition.

The anchor's mood at this time is very complicated.

Did I do something stupid again?

Guilty, but ...... He had never been so angry before.

After standing in front of the tombstone for so long, it's time to go. Before leaving, the anchor slowly withdrew his gaze from the name "Uchiha Shining", and he thought to himself, this stupid kid had said that he wanted to learn from him.

Thankfully, the dark side of adults doesn't let you see it.

I...... Still too selfish.

After Madara Uchiha led the anchor to the empty room of his house, he went to work in a hurry. The anchor sat on the edge of the corridor, staring at the pond in the courtyard in a daze.

Someone sent something over, not their straight and long family clothes, but just a gray kimono. After changing clothes, only the mobile phone and the small blue stone were placed in his hand, and the anchor was stunned for a while, and his hand moved to the side, just touching the mobile phone.

It's been 20 years, will the phone break......

I don't know what happened to the audience in another world and Keigo Boy.

Thinking of this, the anchor tried to turn it on, but what he didn't expect was that his baby phone was so tough, and it was still as smooth and smooth as it was back then. He went directly to the live broadcast platform to read the comments, and first saw a group of people swiping countless messages, "There has been no shadow for two months, where did you die, anchor", and his heart said that it had only been two months, but it was okay. A finger slid as the streamer noticed a popular comment underneath.

The time is shown two months ago.

[What, the anchor looks, when you're not there, the plug-in gentleman and a cute Da Zhengtai poked the live broadcast open! ] They seem to want to record a video, saying that they want to surprise you~ As a result, I found the wrong place23333 I helped transcribe it, and I deliberately put it up a few days late, this is the address, you go and see it, it's so cute, they are super good to you! 】

What the?

The anchor suddenly panicked in his heart, his movements were clumsy, and it took him half a day to click on the link sent by the comment. What popped up was indeed a video, and when he clicked on the play button, he immediately saw a deliberately posed Yan sù face.

"Can you really shine on me?" Asked with some suspicion.

The camera moved slightly, and the person holding the phone could not be seen, only a gentle voice was heard: "It should be fine, go on." ”

"Hmm!"

In the video, the black-haired little boy turned his face a little uncomfortably, hesitated for a long time, and then turned his head firmly to look: "That, Brother Ning, don't be angry, we didn't mean to touch your things...... It's just that Brother Shui said, what are you doing secretly doing from us, it's too much! ”

"Ahem, it's not right, in fact, it's because I'm going to the battlefield again in a few days, and I don't know if I can come back, so I asked Brother Shui for help...... Didn't you say that you could use this to record what we were doing? I thought I'd leave a whisper for you to see when I'm gone...... Well, remember to miss me! ”

The picture turned around, and the blonde man who pressed the little boy's head waved at the camera, and said with a smile: "Who told you to hide it from us, Zhenning is not happy, I won't tell you about this matter, it depends on when you can find out." ”

"Do you have anything else to say?"

"Ah...... No, I'll talk about it next time we meet! ”

"Okay."

The anchor hurriedly tried to pause, but before he could do so, the video jumped back and stopped at the beginning of the frozen footage.

This video is probably taken when he deliberately asked Zhen Ning to branch out of the plug-in.

Plug-in Junbo Feng Shui Gate, and, Uchiha Shining.

"Really...... Surprise......"

So happy.

He lowered his head in joy and covered his eyes with both hands.

Through the cold screen, Uchiha Shining's expression has not changed, the corners of his mouth are tense, and he deliberately does not show a smile.

However, the face was stained with water and gradually became blurred.
