"Why did you give him your umbrella?" The owner of Xinghai Fang was puzzled.

"Because I already have someone who can hold an umbrella for me?" Jiang Hua asked with a smile, then turned his head to the window and took a puff of the cigarette stick in his hand, "His life starts with learning to hold an umbrella for himself or others." ”

……

Jiang Cheng has been coming to this place called Earth for a month, and Jiang Cheng has gradually learned that the country he is in is called Japan, and now there are wars everywhere.

However, Jiang Cheng was not interested in any of this, what he wanted to know most now was what Sister Jiang Hua asked him to find [life], so Jiang Cheng never stopped, and asked what [life] was when he caught someone.

However, most people didn't care when they saw that he was a child, and smiled and let him leave. A very small number of people replied to him with different purposes, and Jiang Cheng gradually learned that [people] were not such simple creatures. And I also gradually learned that [life] is not something delicious or concrete.

Today, as usual, Jiang Cheng carried the umbrella that was much higher than himself, and grabbed passers-by one to ask what [life] was, but as usual, few people answered him.

Jiang Cheng walked for a while, the sky slowly began to rain lightly, and the pedestrians on the road gradually became fewer and fewer, and after a while, there was no one in the visible range of Jiang Cheng's eyes. And the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Jiang Cheng had no choice but to hold up the umbrella when he saw this.

"It seems that today's luck is really good," the voice of a man with a smile and a somewhat gentle sound sounded behind Jiang Cheng, "not only picked up a [ghoul], but also picked up a lost [little rabbit]. ”

Jiang Cheng turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw a long-haired man with a smile on his face leading a silver-haired boy with natural curls of silver with a sword in his arms.

"It seems that it's not just a simple creature like [Little Rabbit]." Yoshida Matsuyo continued, "I heard that there was a child with an umbrella who always asked people passing by what [life] was, and it seemed that it was you. ”

"It's all wet." Jiang Cheng pointed at the two and said.

"Can we hold your umbrella together, then?" Yoshida Matsuyo said with a smile still on his face.

Jiang Cheng lowered his head and thought quietly for a while, then raised his head and nodded seriously. Because he didn't feel a danger signal from this man.

Then Yoshida Songyang pulled the silver-haired child with natural curls and walked towards Jiang Cheng, Yoshida Songyang leaned down and stretched out his hand, Jiang Cheng understood what he meant, and handed him the umbrella in his hand without hesitation.

"From the moment you handed me the umbrella, the [life] you want to know the answer has begun." Yoshida Matsuyo took the umbrella with one hand, touched Jiang Cheng's head with the other, and said.

Jiang Cheng tilted his head as if he was a little confused, and at this time, Yoshida Matsuyo continued, "If you want to know what the so-called [life] is, come with us, one day, you will understand what the so-called [life] is." ”

After Songyang finished speaking, he walked forward with an umbrella, and the silver-haired natural curly boy holding the sword followed, and still looked back at Jiang Cheng from time to time, Jiang Cheng thought in place for a few seconds, then made up his mind and followed.

In this way, an adult and two children holding the same umbrella gradually disappeared into the rain......

"What's your name?" The boy with silver hair and natural curls spoke first.

"Jiang Cheng." It was the first time that Jiang Cheng had communicated with a child of his own age.

"Jiang Cheng? It's a simple name. The silver-haired boy poked his nostrils and said nonchalantly, "My name is Gintoki Sakata." How old are you? ”

"Seven years old." Jiang Cheng replied seriously.

"Seven? Hey, like me, do you have any interests? Comics, games and the like. Yinshi asked.

This question was asked all of a sudden, Jiang Cheng thought about it, but he couldn't think of an answer.

"You're not even interested, are you?!" Gintoki looked like he had seen something strange.

"[Life], this is something I'm interested in." Jiang Cheng raised his little face and replied with a straight face.

"Poof!" Gintoki squirted, "What kind of interest is that!" Didn't anyone tell you that the so-called "life" is not an object? ”

"I know, I've asked a lot of people, and some of them are willing to answer me, but those who are willing to answer have different answers for everyone. Why is that? Jiang Cheng still asked seriously.

Songyang listened to the conversation between the two little ones behind him, and smiled quietly, but didn't say anything.

"It doesn't matter what that happens, but I think I should teach you something, like someone asks you about your interests, and you can answer it like that." As he spoke, Yin Shi waved his hand at Jiang Cheng and winked.

Jiang Cheng understood, came over with his ear, and then Yinshi whispered something in Jiang Cheng's ear.

"Soga Soga, I see." After listening, Jiang Cheng understood with a look on his face.

"Yo Xi, now do the drill." Yinshi nodded with satisfaction, "Jiang Chengjun, may I ask what your interest is." ”

"Of course it's beep (watery/energetic)...", but before Jiang Cheng could say the last few words, he was knocked on the head by Songyang with a punch.

"It hurts, it hurts!" The two little ones said while covering their heads at the same time.

"Yinshi, don't teach Jiang Cheng those things that he doesn't have!" Although Songyang still had a smile on his face, the green tendons on his face jumped and jumped, "And Jiang Cheng, don't let others define your [life]. Whether it's an interest, a favorite thing, or a hateful thing, it's all your life. ”

Silver Time: "Private Marseille!" ”

Jiang Cheng: "I know! ”

In this way, the three of them continued on the road, and the three of them stopped and stopped along the way, and for the man named Songyang, for some reason, Jiang Cheng felt a warm feeling like Jiang Hua from him. Unconsciously, I want to trust him.

One month, two months, three months...... The footsteps of the three of them never stopped, and they walked like this, whether it was Yinshi or Jiang Chengdu, they asked where the end of Songyang's journey was. However, Songyang always has that smiling face: "The journey of [life] has no end. ”

Jiang Cheng learned a lot, such as some common sense of life, and for example, he learned to complain with Yinshi. Jiang Cheng knew that there was a kind of person named [Samurai] in this country, and Songyang was a [Samurai].

A year later.

"Let's make our home here from today onwards!" One day Songyang suddenly said this.

"What did you say all of a sudden?! Didn't you say that "the journey of life has no end"! Yinshi complained frantically.

"Yes, yes, that's the second point I want to make, in life, we have to learn to stop and enjoy the beautiful scenery." As he spoke, Songyang looked at a group of children who were playing beside the farmland in the setting sun.

"It's okay for me, it's up to you. Jiang Cheng, what about you? Yinshi stood there with his two hands on his pillow and said indifferently, and looked at Jiang Cheng, who was still carrying the light blue umbrella.

"Me too." Jiang Cheng replied.

After a year, Jiang Cheng's appearance has changed a lot, he has grown taller and more handsome. Originally, his hair was getting longer and longer, but he was simply trimmed by Songyang and tied with a single ponytail.

Yinshi complained more than once that if there was a cross scar on his face, it would be a proper knife draw. (PS: Drawing the sword is the scarlet village Kenshin, the protagonist of the Rogue Kenshin.) ）

In fact, during the one-year journey, Jiang Cheng also learned how to fight and how to fight with Yinshi, and in the battle with Yinshi, he is currently completely defeated. Although Jiang Cheng's strength is greater than that of Yinshi, and his physical fitness is even stronger, he is always fooled by some Yinshi's small means.

For example, when you're fighting, "There's a plane over there!" Yinshi suddenly pointed behind Jiang Cheng and said.

The result......

However, Jiang Cheng has slowly learned to be smart after this, planes, spaceships and the like can't fool him anymore, and now at least UFO or meteorites and the like are needed to attract Jiang Cheng's attention.

Voiceover: Who is this smart?! I can't see it at all!!

Yinshi once secretly asked Songyang Jiang Cheng's body what was going on, but Songyang didn't give Yinshi an accurate answer, just said that Jiang Cheng was an endangered race in the universe, and he might be the only one left.

At the same time, Yinshi discovered that Jiang Cheng was different from ordinary people, Jiang Cheng would fall into a deep sleep in the middle of each month, and the time of each sleep was one to three days. During this time, Songyang carried Jiang Cheng on his back. Songyang once told Yinshi that this was the habit of Jiang Cheng's race.

In addition, Yinshi also found that it was like a coincidence, whenever Jiang Cheng was asleep, his luck with Songyang would become particularly good, such as when he was hungry, a food magazine suddenly appeared on the road.

Voiceover: Isn't there food supposed to be there?! The appearance of food magazines is to make a fuss?!! Is this really called luck?! Won't it make your stomachs hungrier?! Could it be that Wangmei quenches her thirst?! Besides, is it really good for the author to have such a water word count?! Won't readers be angry?!

Author: Wait a minute, this voiceover looks out of order, I'll fix it a bit.

In this way, on a dark and windy night in the moon, the author's house was ten miles away, and the screams of a certain [voice-over] were heard.

An author lit a cigarette afterwards, looked at the [voiceover] who was sobbing under the quilt and said: Let's do it again, have you learned smart this time?

[Voiceover] immediately stopped sobbing and nodded heavily.

……

In this way, in this remote countryside, a private school called "Matsushita Village Juku" was born, and over time, the reputation of "Matsushita Village Juku" gradually spread around.

It is said that there was a samurai with two children who opened a private school, and he taught the children of poor families without charging a penny. And this samurai is Yoshida Matsuyo of [Matsushita Murajuku]......
