Chapter 7: Sweet Dreams and Nightmares
"You don't know yet, Jiang Cheng is the guy who likes Chinese food the most, and except for Songyang, it seems that he hasn't invited anyone to eat the food in his hand." Yinshi said with a smile.
"Is that so? Then I'll wait with anticipation for the delicious taste to come! Katsura replied.
"Hmph, it's just cheap pork." Takasugi snorted disdainfully, "However, since you sincerely invited, it seems a little unreasonable not to taste it." ”
At this time, the people carrying the lanterns finally discovered Jiang Cheng and the others.
The middle-aged man with the lantern in the lead, the man with the bun, pointed the lantern at Jiang Cheng and the four of them, "Hey, the little ghosts over there, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?" ”
"Matsushita Village Juku, Yoshida Matsuyo's disciple, Sakata Gintoki!"
"Ditto, Jiang Cheng! / Katsura Kotaro! / Shinsuke Takasugi! ”
"Participate!" The four of them shouted at the same time and rushed towards the men with buns in their prime.
Seeing this, the crowd put their hands on the hilt of the sword on their waists. "What are these imps trying to do?!" A man with a bun shouted, and everyone was ready to draw their swords.
But at this moment, "Please don't draw your sword!" Songyang's voice came from behind the men with buns.
In an instant, the men with buns turned their heads to look at Songyang in shock, and Jiang Cheng and the four of them also stopped instantly.
"I hope both sides can exercise restraint and stop there, and don't force me to draw my knife." Matsuyo continued.
"Yoshida Matsuyo, you bastard!" A man with a bun shouted, and at the same time, several men with a bun all turned to look at Songyang with an unkind face, and all of them were ready for battle.
However, Songyang didn't care at all, and still walked towards Jiang Cheng and the four of them, and these men with buns were frightened by Songyang's aura and consciously got out of the way.
"No matter how exaggerated and smeared, I will listen to it, and if you think we are in the way, we can move away from here." "However, if you dare to face my students and subvert a country in earnest, it is not impossible." ”
In fact, just when Songyang said the word [but], the bunned men found that all the swords pinned to their waists had been cut off. At the same time, perhaps only Jiang Cheng noticed that at a certain moment, Songyang's pupils became... Red. However, Jiang Cheng thought that he was wrong.
The men with the buns exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly fled in the direction they came, and the lanterns in their hands were thrown away in a hurry.
"Songyang..."Jiang Cheng was still very happy to see Songyang.
"Ahh Looking at the four little ones who were looking at him, Song Yang continued, "I thought I had sent all the students home, but I didn't expect that there were still a few thugs entrenched here. ”
"But, I'm sorry, kicking hall mate," Matsuyo said as he looked at Takasugi, "There are no dojos or schools here that allow you to kick the gym." ”
"Don't worry, I don't think it's the dojo that kicks the gym, it's you, Teacher Songyang!" Takasugi raised his head and said.
Immediately afterwards, Gui also said wistfully: "For us, even if the place where the teacher is in the wilderness and field, for us, it is our schoolhouse. ”
"What's more, neither yours nor our bushido is fragile enough to be broken by such a trivial matter, right?" Takasugi then said.
"Jiang Cheng, Yinshi, you really brought students who are even more arrogant than you to my door." Songyang said that he had come to the four little ones.
And the four little ones also raised their faces and looked at Songyang.
“… Right. Gintoki pulled his fingers out of his nostrils and replied with his head up.
"Really? So let's start roadside teaching right away. Songyang stretched out a finger, "If you want to learn how to travel at night, it's a hundred years early!" ”
This was followed by four crisp taps.
Voiceover: Does it sound good? A good sound is a good brain!
"Welcome to Matsushita Village School." Songyang looked at the four little ones who were covering their heads and said.
"It hurts, it hurts," Jiang Cheng took the lead in standing up, "In short, it's better to enjoy the braised pork first now, teacher!" ”
"Yes, but before that......" Songyang said and slammed another fist on Jiang Cheng's head, "I said it, you can't use such a dangerous weapon on ordinary people. ”
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts......" Jiang Cheng's tears of pain were about to flow out, "I went out in a hurry and didn't find a wooden knife!" ”
After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, everyone laughed.
Then, in a remote corner, in the moonlight, everyone finished eating the can of braised pork, which was already a little cold......
From this day on, Songyang took the four little ones and walked through many places and stayed in many places. Each place left a story about Matsushita Murajuku, and a lot of laughter.
Where there is Songyang, there is the laughter of children, and unconsciously, the first four people are already the tallest among the children, and many moments, Jiang Chengdu feels that this kind of joyful days will last forever, but ......
……
Behind him, Matsushita Murajuku has become a sea of fire.
Jiang Cheng watched Songyang being taken away by a group of people dressed in black and wearing hats, but he could only be indifferent, because behind him were dozens of children who were trembling with fear. He has now been pressed to the ground because of his impulsiveness, and if he acts rashly, then the children behind him may suffer miserably, and Yinshi is also held up by several men in black.
Katsura and Takasugi stood guard in front of the children, looking nervously at the black-clad people surrounding them.
"Jiang Cheng, Yinshi, don't worry, I'll be back soon. In addition, [Matsushita Village Juku] will leave it to you for the time being. It's agreed," was the last thing Songyang said before he was taken away.
"Songyang!" Yinshi and Jiang Cheng shouted hoarsely at the same time, and Songyang had already followed several black-clothed people into the distance, and finally, Jiang Cheng saw the little thumbs of Songyang's bound hands......
The dream finally woke up......
"Are you awake?" Yinshi looked at Jiang Cheng, who had just woken up, and said.
It was a time of war, and a few years had passed since Songyang was taken away, and in order to recapture Songyang, a group of disciples of Songyang participated in this war in the name of the warriors. It's just that their purpose may simply be to save their teacher, and to return to the simple [Matsushita Village School] full of laughter.
A dilapidated room was crowded with wounded people, not only Jiang Cheng and Yinshi, but also Katsura and Takasugi. Of course, everyone was covered in bandages.
"What's the matter, the military budget is ......" Jiang Cheng finally returned to reality, now Jiang Cheng is no longer the child he was at the beginning, he has completely grown up, one meter eight tall, his hairstyle is still a single ponytail, and he is wearing a gray power suit. He wore his signature white headband on his forehead.
"Military spending can be supported until next month for the time being, but weapons, food, and medicines, even if there are funds now, it is difficult to raise them for a while," Yinshi said again.
"Hurry up, sell a fart!"
"Let's take a sip, I ran a lot of places to find, Chinese baijiu." Yinshi picked up a bottle of wine from his side and handed it to Jiang Cheng, "This spicy wine is the only one you can take a big gulp." ”
Jiang Cheng took the wine, unscrewed the lid and poured a few big sips, "Tell me, what is the new situation." ”
"We were contacted by a man known as General Nanhai, [Dragon of Guibin], who claimed to be able to solve our material and financial problems and wanted to join us." Gintoki finally spoke up.
"Do you know the details?"
"It's been investigated, and according to our findings, it's just a simple gap." Yinshi replied.
"Wig," Jiang Cheng couldn't think of any strategy alone, and kicked Gui, who was snoring next to him.
"It's not a wig, it's Katsura!" Gui instantly came to his senses and shouted at the same time.
"Seriously, what do you think of that [Guibin Dragon]?" Jiang Cheng asked,
"It's not Guibin, it's Gui!" Gui got up and rubbed his buttocks, which was kicked by Jiang Cheng.
"If you want to join him and let him join, now we have no other way, if he can solve our material problems, then we can still fight, otherwise, this war is over for us." Takasugi lay on the side and said, "Moreover, I can't always rely on Yinshi to take you to play small steel balls to earn military expenses, in case you have the same bad luck as last time......
It turned out that everyone had gradually understood Jiang Cheng's ability since then, although they would sleep for one to three days in the middle of each month, but in these few days, the luck of those who were with Jiang Cheng would be particularly good. Take Yinshi as an example, when you take the sleeping Jiang Cheng with you, Yinshi will win nine times out of ten when you hit a small steel ball, and if you don't bring Jiang Cheng, Yinshi will lose nine times out of ten. In a previous occasion, Jiang Cheng's luck bonus suddenly expired once, causing the entire army to be fed down for a whole month!
There is also a characteristic of Jiang Cheng, that is, he can't drink anything other than Chinese liquor, he gets drunk after drinking, and he is not only simply drunk, but he will make trouble, and the three of them can't hold down the drunk Jiang Cheng.
However, this also developed another function of Jiang Cheng, that is, if you encounter a difficult opponent, pour Jiang Cheng two sips of other wine and throw it into the enemy, then the problem will be solved.
Voiceover: Why do you feel a little pitiful, and be a lucky E, and be a war machine......
"I don't like that either, but I agree with Takasugi." Yinshi leaned against the wall and said.
"So, let him join, I'm curious what kind of man it is."
……
At night, Jiang Cheng lay alone on the roof, looking at the starlight in the sky.
"Hey." Takasugi shouted, threw a bottle of Coke over, and walked over to Jiang Cheng's side.
Jiang Cheng caught the Coke, unscrewed the lid and took a sip.
"What are you thinking?" Takasugi asked.
"I'm thinking about how I don't want to think about anything."
"Humans are not such simple creatures!" Takasugi said sharply.
"Who knows, now I don't want to think about anything, I don't want to think about winning or losing, I don't want to think about right and wrong, I don't want to think about whether this war is meaningful, and I don't want to think about what the outcome will be." Jiang Cheng replied nonchalantly.
