Chapter Twenty-Three: The Long Night

It's nightfall, the sun has set early, not every night there will be a moon, at least tonight the thick clouds completely obscured the moon, and the world is also moving and quiet because of the change of day and night. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Sakura sat alone on the walkway outside the house, with a cushion underneath her, which didn't get her clothes dirty, and of course, the wooden floor, which had been cleaned, wasn't dirty, and Sakura didn't care about it.

There was a cup of tea beside her, served on a wooden plate, and there was a little white steam, Sakura's eyes were calmly closed, and it seemed extremely quiet, and it felt as if she had blended into the night sky, just like the black clothes, like a dream.

However, no matter who it is, it is absolutely impossible to ignore Sakura in this night, even if it is such a fit, but, it is exactly so, but it seems heterogeneous, and the bright moon in the long night is clear, not because it does not fit, but because when the moon appears, that night becomes a foil in the eyes of people, and Sakura is exactly like this.

“……”

Silently, the other person also knelt down next to Sakura, originally, she wanted to say something, but at this time she couldn't say anything, suppressed by the breath, infected, all she could do was to kneel down to Sakura's side in the same way with the entanglement in her heart......

"Have you already dealt with him?"

Of course, Sakura was the first to speak, but the words she said seemed very strange, probably no one would not want to be crooked when they heard this, this statement seemed clumsy, but in some ways it was really very suitable.

"I've put my brother to sleep."

After hearing Sakura's words, Urashima only frowned slightly, not in disgust or anything, but in pure sadness, she replied to Sakura in a short language, lowered her eyes, and said in a slightly soft, lifeless voice.

"Does it make sense for me to do this?"

Urashima asked Sakura, confused, looking at the dark night without any light, and there was no other sound for a long time, as if he was thinking about all the things he had been doing, and as if he hadn't thought about anything, he was very tired.

"If it doesn't make any sense, why would you do these things?"

It was completely like a mechanical statement, and there were no features that could tell whether it should be a question or some other sentence, but Urashima Yue could understand that this was a question, a rhetorical question, a rhetorical question that made her feel worried.

"yes, why would I do these things if it really doesn't make sense......

That person is no longer the strong, spoiled brother of the past, his brother is probably dead, that is just a shell that can function on its own with a little traction......

"But,I can't find any meaning at all.,Before,I thought my brother would still have the possibility of recovery.,So I've been sitting like that.,But now...... Obviously, there is no hope at all, and it makes no sense to do this......"

Like a helpless sigh, and as if she was talking, the girl said like that, she probably wasn't saying it to Sakura, but more to herself, trying to convince herself of something, and at the same time knowing the limit, but she didn't want to accept this at all, it was such a contradiction......

……

Every morning, after getting up early and taking care of things, prepare breakfast, pull up Urashima Tai, who had been in the same position the night before, and then bring things to his mouth little by little, and then tell him to chew......

Seeing him as a talkative brother as in the past, telling interesting stories bit by bit, the only difference is that the storyteller has changed from a brother to a sister, and the one who listens to the story has no reaction......

Closing the windows, removing all the light from the person who can only live in darkness, repeating the daily routine of the morning, noon and evening, day by day, even when there is no reason and no hope can be obtained, it continues......

……

"But you did it anyway, so you know it yourself."

It's completely a bystander's gesture, Sakura interjects such a sentence coldly, there is no need to speak, and Sakura still makes a sound, which is meaningless in her opinion, or rather, she herself understands that this "meaninglessness" is just her own incomprehension.

“……”

"Well, because I can't give up my brother at all, and even if that's the case, I still can't believe that it's no longer my brother."

Very unexpectedly, the girl named Urashima Yue admitted such a point, just a moment of pause, it was very clear that she looked at herself clearly, she probably wanted to cry, but she couldn't cry, but just said with a somewhat awkward look and a somewhat childish tone.

"From childhood to adulthood, no matter what happened, my brother would always accompany me, when my father and mother had an accident, I cried very sadly, but, at that time, my brother didn't cry, it's not that my brother was bad, he was also very sad, I still remember, at that time, my brother who was always smiling didn't brow for a long time, and even walked and hit the pillar......"

The girl recounted the past and told the story of Urashima Tai in the eyes of a girl named "Urashima Tsuki", while Sakura kept kneeling and listened quietly, listening to the "meaningless" narration of the girl who needed to vent the impact of the past two days.

“…… Originally, I didn't want him to continue running around like that, because I was scared, maybe one day, he would think like his father and mother, but every time, he just smiled and told me not to worry......"

Pu Daoyue sat directly in the corridor, holding her erected knees with both hands, lowered her head, and directly pressed against the knees wrapped around her elbows, looking at the ground under the corridor that gently fluttered dust, and said slowly.

“…… Uncle Yamada was the most encouraging person for my parents to walk outside when we were young, and he was originally a relative, so at that time, he took good care of us, and later after my parents had an accident, he began to persuade my brother to stay in the village with peace of mind, he probably felt sorry for my parents, and he would not even enter our house every time......"

"However, my brother refused, obviously at that time, how I wished my brother would stay, Mingming, Uncle Yamada also directly distributed the land to us, but, in the end, I was persuaded by my brother, Mingming, as long as I persisted at that time, there would be no such thing as now......"

Urashima Moon was talking, saying the things in her heart little by little, probably the same as that Yamada, after Sakura-chan's unwarranted reason and unwarranted hatred were broken, this unbearable girl began to think about other things, looking for something to blame.

Make a cheerful gesture in front of people, but its essence is fragile, such a person, even she can't let go of herself, in the endless serial nightmare, one day, she will drive herself crazy......

"He's not necessarily hopeless."

When the girl was completely immersed in an indescribable complex state of mind, Sakura suddenly said to her, but Urashima Moon didn't react much, and Sakura just pulled the letter she received out of the cocoon and looked at it slowly.

A few days ago, Sakura passed on the situation directly on her side, and after the letter was turned over in the middle, it must have been conveyed to Yingu not long ago, and just when Urashima Tsukizai was just recounting her past, Sakura also received a reply from there......

"Of course, it's normal if you give up, because the probability of success is about one or two percent, but if things go unexpectedly, you may have to take some methods that you are even more reluctant to take."

Originally, Urashima Yue felt that this should be what Sakura said when she was comforting her, so she didn't react, even though this cold girl didn't seem to be the type to comfort people, but at this moment, when Sakura's mouth came out of such a precise sentence, she raised her head suddenly.

"In about five to ten days, it should be half a year, and at that time, maybe it will be your brother's chance to recover, of course, the most likely is that your brother will really die completely at that time, or, it will become a new kind of real 'harmful' thing that must be resolved......"

Sakura continued to speak without any change in her voice after Urashima Moon looked at her, and Urashima Tsuki listened carefully to Sakura's words, for fear that she had missed any key places.

"People who walk in the mountains at night sometimes see tiny flying fluorescent light in abnormal seasons and environments, just like fireflies, however, no matter what kind of attempt to catch, it is futile, if you are a distant bystander, you will find that the number of 'fireflies' will be beyond imagination, and the body of these things is a kind of worm, called 'light fireflies'."

Sakura didn't immediately say the way Gingu suggested to Urashima Yue, but talked about situations that sounded like something unrelated, but, inevitably, this wouldn't be some kind of popular science time, and Sakura wouldn't say anything like that.

"However, few people know that even if it is a 'worm master', if it is not for some strange strange creatures, they will not carefully explore these 'harmless' insects, and most of them will not know that where the 'light firefly' insect haunts, there must usually be a 'hidden shadow', but at night, it is really very difficult to find the 'hidden shadow'......"
