Chapter 24: Travel

A few days later, the girl asked Yu Qiuping to go on an adventure in the mountains. Therefore, after the two had lunch, they arrived at the back mountain early.

"When I was a child, I always wondered when I would be able to go on an adventure in the mountains," the girl smiled as she recalled, "what a beautiful scenery it would be to be full of autumn leaves and mysterious forests." ”

"Adventure? Sometimes it can be very dangerous. "The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Asahina Taehyung's expedition killed Yu Qiuping's friend at the time, and almost gave the lives of Asahina Taihyung himself and Yu Qiuping.

The girl saw that Yu Qiuping's expression was a little depressed, and she immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing. "I've also heard stories about Heikun going to Mikawa-Owari."

Yu Qiuping's face suddenly turned red, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and a sense of shame in front of his sweetheart prompted him to say urgently, "Miss has also heard the story that when I met the Oda Army, I didn't even dare to wield a knife like a coward?" ”

"That's not what people care about!" The girl snorted and said, "Fighting and killing is the business of those men, what is the point of fighting and killing the whole world for so many years?" ”

"In my eyes, Pingjun is more worthy of the word hero than those who kill decisively." The girl looked at Yu Qiuping's stunned eyes and explained with a smile.

"What I care about the most is your relief for the more than 200 poor slaves in Kariya City." The girl looked at Yu Qiuping as she spoke, "And you are on the ship, and you took the initiative to suggest the rescue of the merchant ship, and promised Lord Itami that you would return a peaceful matter to Haijiang." ”

"Huh?" Yu Qiuping couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"Because it shows that you're different from those people." The girl's expression flashed with disgust, "Whether it's your eldest brother Asahina, or the family governor of those big families, the childe, or even the family governor of our Imagawa family." These ambitious men think all day long about how to make achievements, expand their territory, and strengthen their families through killing and war. ”

"How cold-blooded it must be to not consider how much pain they have brought to the people and those Ashigaru who have been living in dire straits all their lives for their own selfish wars."

"Pingjun is a native of the Ming Kingdom, so he may not know about us in Japan." The girl's tone became a little mournful, and her expression was full of compassion, "The poor peasant ploughs when he is busy, and when he is not working, he must serve in the military according to the proportion, and follow the lord around to fight. ”

"After conquering the city, I didn't see how those daimyo generals appeased the people, but connived at the soldiers to arrest indiscriminately. When others win, we are our people suffering, and if we win others, we are suffering for other people's people. Those who died in the war were pitifully poorly paid. If a family loses its pillars, how can the meager money support the family to survive? There is no winner in the war. ”

"If you say yes, it must be those high-ranking adults." The more the girl spoke, the faster she spoke, the more excited she became, "Leave your wife and children at home, let your wife die of illness, and build your exploits on the dry bones of hundreds of people." What is to calm the world, restore peace to the world, and end the war," the girl snorted disdainfully, "It's just an excuse that those adults use to soothe people's hearts." ”

"Now, I'm used to seeing people like this around me. The playmates, who were innocent and immaculate as children, once they had more contact with those adults, each became eager for war, eager to make achievements, and showed off to each other how many people they had killed in front of the battle. As she spoke, the girl whimpered, "Those heads are all living people! They also have their own homes, and they also have wives and daughters who are waiting for their husbands to return. ”

"But Pingjun, you're different from them!" The girl suddenly turned around and looked at Yu Qiuping with teary eyes. "I heard from them that Heijun helped more than 200 poor slaves in Kariya Castle. Pingjun helped them buy chicken to eat at home, helped them buy herbs to place furniture, and helped them deliver letters. These are all good deeds with immeasurable merits. I've heard that Pingjun is also in debt for this. Those sons laughed at Pingjun, but I admired Pingjun very much. ”

The girl paused, and continued, "Not only these two hundred strangers, but even the merchant ships that Pingjun didn't know on the road were eager to help. I know, I also know that Pingjun also knows in his heart that doing these things by himself will not bring any benefits, but Pingjun still did it, didn't he? ”

The corners of the girl's mouth suddenly put on a proud smile, "Pingjun is trying to alleviate the pain of others, is soothing the wounds of this troubled world, and is a great hero who really longs for peace in the world and no one will suffer anymore." ”

"This may be the so-called compassion." Yu Qiuping suddenly remembered what the uncle said. "After all, I am also a person who has experienced life and death, and I don't want others to go through such pain again." Yu Qiuping smiled bitterly, "It's really hard to see others suffering." ”

In the long history, a series of ruthless numbers have recorded how many families have fallen apart and how many people have been unhappy. However, our focus is always on those princes and generals. Ordinary people who are insignificant have experienced so many lives and deaths, but they are just a speck of dust on the pages of history.

Only when you have experienced all this firsthand will you understand that life in troubled times is as cheap as a dog; will understand that one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither; will understand how much pain those poor people have experienced.

"I hope that all wives and daughters in the world can smile every day and wait for the return of their husbands and fathers." Yu Qiuping thought of the farmer's family in the narrow room, and then thought of the girl next to him, and almost blurted out this sentence.

The girl's cheeks flushed, and tears ran down her sideburns.

"Although, a person like me, who has no rights in his hands and no great ability, will be a little arrogant to say such things to you," Yu Qiuping solemnly looked at the tearful girl, "but I am willing to promise you a promise to the family that has experienced misfortune all over the world." I, Yu Qiuping, will definitely do my best to save them, so that they don't have to go through life and death again. ”

"I'm Yuqiuping, and I do what I say."

"I believe in you," the girl suddenly burst into tears and laughed, "because Pingjun is the most powerful hero." ”

After a hard climb all the way, they finally reached the top of the back mountain. As far as the eye can see, the flaming red maple trees around are like the gentlest flames in the breeze, beating in the sun. At the end of the flames is the castle town, and the other end of the castle town is Sunfu Castle. The majestic Sunpu Castle stands at the southern end of the mountain, and further south, the ocean stretches as far as the eye can see.

"I didn't expect the field of vision to be so wide." Yu Qiuping opened his arms, as if he was on the top of the mountains, and breathed in the cool air of the mountains.

"Climb up the trees and the scenery will be better?" The girl suddenly smiled mischievously, "What do you think, Pingjun?" ”

"Miss... Can a young lady climb a tree? Yu Qiuping was stunned in surprise. Such a cultivated and connotative young lady can ride a horse, but she can also climb trees?

"Of course, when I was taught all kinds of etiquette, I was asked to sit under a tree and meditate. I was bored, so I learned to climb trees. The girl puffed up her chest proudly, "Pingjun is optimistic." ”

With that, the dexterous figure kicked the ground violently, bounced up, clicked a few times on the fork of the thick trunk, circled around the tree like a bird, and with a slight leap, and came to a steady stop on the branch.

"Hey, hey! Be careful! How scary it looks. Yu Qiuping was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and carefully moved to the bottom of the girl, for fear that she would suddenly fall.

Looking at Yu Qiuping's frightened expression as if facing the enemy, the girl snorted and laughed, and when she didn't pay attention, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and the girl lost her balance carelessly, and she was about to fall.

When the girl was panicked, she was able to calmly jump, crash into the trunk of the tree, and slide to the ground against the trunk, avoiding the danger of falling directly.

"It doesn't matter!" Yu Qiuping ran to the girl's side in a panic, looking at the girl's somewhat painful expression, and felt a sharp pain in her heart.

"Actually, it's fine, my feet..."

"I'll carry you down the mountain." Yu Qiuping blurted out a sentence that blocked the girl's "It's okay" in her mouth. The girl glanced at the nervous look of Yu Qiuping, who was close at hand, and her heart warmed, and she suddenly changed her mind.

"Then thank you Pingjun, I'm really embarrassed." She said apologetically. With that, he obediently climbed onto Yu Qiuping's back and wrapped his hands around her neck. But when Yu Qiuping's hands held up her two legs, her cheeks were still burning red.

Suddenly, Yu Qiuping's body, a subtle fragrance, made the girl suddenly settle down for some reason. She quietly rested her head on Yu Qiuping's shoulder, feeling the young man's strong arms.

The girl's hair hung down to Yu Qiuping's neck, itchy, but very comfortable. Yu Qiuping hugged the girl and got up, and the girl's plump breasts squeezed Yu Qiuping's back and made Yu Qiuping's face red. And she was sure that the girl lying on her back would definitely be able to see her blushing. So, he had to change the topic awkwardly.

"Huh? So you're so light? Yu Qiuping said. This is not an excuse. He thought that the plump and slender figure of a girl should not be so light.

"It's really pleasing to girls." The girl muttered, but couldn't hide the joy in her words. Hugging the young man's neck, he suddenly felt very down-to-earth and relieved in his heart. Suddenly I wanted to lean on him, and I never came down. Yu Qiuping also enjoyed carrying the girl on his back like this, feeling the hair rubbing his neck, feeling the fragrance of the girl's exhalation lingering in his ears, feeling the girl's body moving slightly, and feeling the body fragrance of the girl's camellia.

However, although the road down the mountain was long, they still came to the end of the moment, and they all saw the girl's ox cart at the corner. Yu Qiuping was about to reluctantly let go of the girl, but the girl suddenly spoke.

"I'm a little thirsty..."The girl clumsily made excuses, and the girl who has always been down-to-earth and generous, but her voice was as thin as a mosquito at the moment. Let's go to the creek and drink some water. ”

"Okay," Yu Qiuping's excited voice made the girl's heart happy, and the enjoyment was extended for another two quarters of an hour. But I still had to put the girl down.

"Can Miss's feet work, how can you walk over it?" Yu Qiuping asked worriedly.

"It's okay, after Pingjun leaves, I'll call the maid to come and pick me up." The girl thought in her heart that after Pingjun left, she just walked over directly, and her feet didn't hurt anymore.

"Will you come back tomorrow then? If you sprain your foot..."Yu Qiuping asked with some distress.

"Come on, it doesn't matter." The girl replied.

"But your feet... You have to rest well, or you can recuperate tomorrow. Yu Qiuping cautiously instructed.

"Pingjun doesn't want me to come so much..."The girl suddenly lowered her head aggrievedly, and the aggrieved look looked like Yuqiu's peace of mind.

"No, miss, don't think so!" Yu Qiuping hurriedly explained, "Of course I really want to see Miss." ”

The girl with her head down snorted lightly, then raised her head with a smile, and looked at Yu Qiuping like a prank, and the two small dimples were particularly cute.

Yu Qiuping, who learned that he had been fooled, was not angry, and suddenly poked the girl's forehead with his index finger and middle finger a little lightly. Satisfied to see the girl's face turn red again, Yu Qiuping, who came back with revenge, smiled, "Tell you to lie to me, Miss!" ”

Yu Qiuping and the girl, who were immersed in the happy time, forgot the difference in their identities for a while.

After returning home, Yu Qiuping sat alone on the table and recalled the first "intimate contact" between the two today. ”

"Mr. Yuqiu, aren't you taking a bath?" Charlie looked at Yu Qiuping sitting there for a long time without moving, and asked with some curiosity.

"No, no, let the guards wash it." Yu Qiuping responded casually, sniffing his body, as if he could still smell the girl's camellia.
