027 Yukyuki
After swimming in the water for a long time, she lost her strength, but even though her hands and feet were like lead, Yuuka still did not choose to go ashore. She tried to keep herself able to dive for a long time, for fear of being caught and captured.
After swimming like this for a long time, Yuuka lost consciousness. She's not the lively and active Reiko Kikiri who gave her parents a headache like a boy, and now her limbs and torso have long been decayed and not presentable.
The old fisherman who was about to go back after fishing saw Yuuka floating on the river, and the fisherman was shocked and hurriedly salvaged Yuuka ashore.
"Girl? Girl? ”
Yuuka still had breath, but it seemed that she had just fallen into a coma, and the fisherman was relieved to find that the person was okay, and he carried Yuka into the cabin, ready to take it home first and let the old woman of the family change the girl's clean clothes. The fisherman is a kind person, when he finds people in difficulty, he can always help, such a young and good-looking girl will be so embarrassed, it must have gone through a lot of difficulties.
"This ......"
The more the fisherman looked at Yuuka's face, the more familiar it felt.
“…!! Miss Kirikiri?! He vaguely saw the shadow of the former Reiko Kikiri on Yuuka's face.
The fisherman was originally a merchant sailor of the Kiri family, and in the past, Reiko Kiri often came on their ship to play, and even if he forgot everything, he could not forget this clever girl, this cute and hateful little ghost who had caused him a lot of trouble.
“!”
The fisherman took a deep puff of his cigarette, then pounded the ash off the side of the boat, and then raised his oar with his penkey in his hand and rowed hard.
When the fisherman came home, he beckoned the old woman to wipe Yuuka and change her clothes, but the old woman did not have the same memory as the fisherman, and only after the fisherman reminded her that this girl was the eldest lady of the former Fog Cut family.
Once again, Yuuka was favored by Lady Luck and survived.
Because it's just exhaustion, the soaked clothes are good to change in time, so Yuuka is not a big problem, and after sleeping for a night, Yuuka wakes up naturally in the early morning.
"Here ......"
Feeling uneasy in a completely unfamiliar environment, Yuuka gets up and leaves the bed, only to meet the fisherman's wife, who pushes the door in to inquire about her situation.
“……”
The fisherman and wife hurriedly withdrew and called the fisherman, because she was not familiar with the eldest lady, and some things could not be done.
By the time the fisherman arrived, Yuuka had already changed into the clothes that were placed at the head of her bed.
This family, there should be no malicious intent.
"Miss Wukiri, you, you're still alive."
"Fog Cut ......" After many years, it seems a little silly to hear this surname Yuuka again, probably because she is too tired and her body has not reacted, or it may be because she has unconsciously forgotten about Fog Cut.
"Fog Cut......" she lost her mind and muttered, mist, mist, mist, over and over again, read and read, read out the depression that had been suppressed in her heart.
"Are you...... Yamamoto ...... Uncle. ”
"That's right, the eldest lady still remembers me, back then, you didn't pull my beard to play."
“…… Yes...... Uh...... "Yuuka, at this time it should be said that it was Reiko She finally collapsed, she cried in pain like a child, crying blood and making people feel distressed.
"......" Yamamoto couldn't comfort her, but let her cry, and sometimes she could cry, which was good news.
She wanted to go home, and she begged Yamamoto to take her home, even though the Kirikiri house was no longer there, she still wanted to go home and see.
Unable to refuse Yuuka's request, Yamamoto told the good old woman to take care of the house, and then he took out the horses that were already some old in the family, and drove Yuuka to set off, Yuuka sat on the dry grass that was warm and warm by the sun, she was thinking that Nanami didn't know what was going on, the short knife hidden in Nanami's body was not taken away, she just had to seize the opportunity to save the day, Yuuka hoped that Nanami would be safe.
Along the way, Uncle Yamamoto told Yuuka about his experience, when the Kiriki family declined, the family did not know whether they were alive or dead, and they all became slaves, but he escaped from the danger of not mentioning it for the time being, and finally he became a fisherman incognito and did a small business, barely making ends meet the family's livelihood, but now he is sixty but still has no children, which is a regret in life.
"Miss, I haven't seen you come back in the past ten years."
"I, I'm doing well, now I'm working in a dojo, and everyone treats me well."
"That's good, that's good." Yamamoto also felt happy today, and the conversation was very open, he asked, "Speaking of which, the young lady has also reached the age of starting a family, and time flies so fast." ”
Time flies so fast, no one can imagine what they will look like more than ten years later.
"It's good to be alive."
"Well, it's good to be alive."
When I arrived at the old site of the Kirikiri Mansion, it was already afternoon, and everything here was gone, the house was gone, the tall trees had been removed, and everything was cloudy and scattered.
"You're the only one left."
The open space has been converted into farmland, but the yellow-brown knotted flowers still exist, wilting and surviving.
"Fragrant flowers......"
Turning around, she saw Nanami Asakura coming from a distance, the shadow of the girl intersected with the girl who had hid behind her relatives with a cold face, Nanami held a long knife in her right hand and held a neatly folded lilac kimono in her arms, this is the new clothes that Nanami just bought on the street, and spent a lot of money.
"You're here." Yuuka walked towards Nanami, and she wiped away the blood scabs on Nanami's face with her fingers, "This is someone else's blood." ”
"You're smart and didn't go to the docks." Nanami handed the kimono to Yuuka, "There must be someone waiting for you there." ”
"Seven realities."
Yuuka doesn't care about these anymore: "Your surname is Asakura, right?" ”
"If you're not Asakura, why do you know here?"
"You are Asakura, Asakura Qishi."
Yuuka said the name of Nanami in an unquestioning tone.
"Yes."
Seven realities admitted
"Thanks to you being able to listen to me talk so much, Reiko Kiritari."
There was no point in concealing it, because they met again in this place, so the truth was clear. Reiko Kikiri, Nanami Asakura, they're friends, and they've only been playing around for two days, but they've known each other's past friends.
"Uncle Yamamoto!" Yuuka shouted at Yamamoto, "Uncle Yamamoto! Know who she is? ”
Yamamoto was confused
"That, eldest lady, you?"
"She's Nanami Asakura!! She's Reiko Kirikiri's younger sister! ”
Nanami was held in Yuuka's arms, and she heard Yuuka very clearly.
Then the girl was thinking, it's good that you're called Yuuka, if it weren't for the luck of having Yuuka flowers, I would have lost you.
It's a terrible thing to lose.
