Chapter 170. Not up or down (4000 words)

This Xicheng family is just the first to make Xicheng sense that everything is wrong.

"And this room..."

Nishijo glanced at the room furnishings cursoryly.

As mentioned earlier, this is a standard Japanese-style bedroom, with desks and benches placed in the direction of the pool.

Xicheng walked to the desk in two steps.

Attached to the wall is a time-shattering wooden photo stand with a photograph in it.

The color photograph shows a woman in a pure white kimono.

This woman's eyebrows and eyes are about three points similar to the Xicheng style.

She was in a wheelchair, and her movements seemed a little inconvenient, but there was a big smile on her face — not at the camera, but at a baby in her hand.

"Huh?" Nishijo-shiki took two steps forward with a frown, picking up the photo stand.

Flip your palms and look up and down.

Eventually, Nishijo found a line of words on the back of the photo stand.

'Heisei 16, May 2, Yoshino-Kumano National Park. ’

"Yoshino-Kumano National Park?"

Nishijo-style eyebrows twitched, and he turned to look at the scenery behind the kimono woman.

Although the background has been blurred, you can still see that it is in a waterfront area.

To say that Yoshino-Kumano Public Park in Wakayama Prefecture is a well-known seaside area...

"Cape Tide?"

Although it may not be necessary information, the Nishijo style still remembers the place name 'Tide Cape'.

Putting the photo stand down, Xicheng-esque looked back at the desk.

There were several notebooks on the desk, and Xicheng picked up the notes on the table, and then immediately found -

It may be that these notebooks are treasured by the original owner, and the footer of each page has been sealed.

He picked up the notebook that was placed on top.

After my mother died, my father was also devastated, and I knew that my father was very sad, but people cannot be resurrected after death, so no matter how uncomfortable my heart is, I must go on... At least I know that I can't go on without going on. ’

"Has the original owner's mother died?"

Nishijo-style pinched his chin.

To be honest, he actually has some regrets in his heart.

He got the body of the original owner, but he couldn't do anything for the original owner's parents, let alone repay the favor.

This is still a little helpless for the Xicheng style.

But... Now that the original owner's mother has passed away, let's retreat and find out the information about the original owner's father.

He continued to scroll down.

With the action of looking at the past page by page, Xicheng Shiki gradually understood the situation of the original owner.

His father's name is Xicheng Shogo, and his mother's name is Xicheng Haixi.

It seems that there is such a tradition in the Saijo family, and some of the women of the separated families will marry young men who are important in the Saijo family.

And Xicheng Haixi is the woman who separates the family in Xicheng.

Under the arrangement of the elders of the Xicheng family, they soon got married. Everything falls into place, naturally.

Xicheng Jiangwu and Xicheng Haixi's married life is very happy, in fact, Xicheng Jiangwu is also very distressed about Xicheng Haixi.

Yes, there is no bloody episode of escaping marriage and getting to know each other again,

The two also quickly had a child a year after they got married.

And that kid is the West Side style.

The photo of Yoshino-Kumano National Park was taken when Nishigi took him on his honeymoon with Nishiro Kaiyu when he was just giving birth to Nishigi.

In his early years, he had a son, and Xicheng was heavy, and Xicheng promoted me to a high level, and soon occupied a place in Xicheng's own family.

On the other hand, Xicheng Haixi teaches husbands and children to educate Xicheng-style adults.

Everything looks very good.

But Xicheng Haixi has been relatively weak since she was a child, and after giving birth to Xicheng Shi, she went to the hospital for examination from time to time because of various trivial diseases.

Over time, his physical condition is getting worse and worse.

This situation lasted until the spring of the 15th year.

At that time, Xicheng Shi was already eleven, which was considered the age of the governor.

That year, Xicheng Haixi's body was dragged down by a perennial minor illness and finally passed away.

The death of Xicheng Haixi obviously dealt a big blow to Xicheng Jiangwu.

He soon collapsed, and finally committed suicide by jumping off a building when Xicheng was fifteen years old, that is, the year before the big one.

Here's what the notebook reads:

My father came to my room out of the blue. I was a little surprised because after my mother died, he didn't talk to me much.

"Let's go look at the stars."

That's what my father said.

I know that my mother loves to look at the stars, especially the stars on the headland, which are very beautiful, and my mother has told me many times.

The stars were really beautiful that day, and my father and I were standing at the top of the building, the night sky shining.

"How's life lately?"

I stood and looked at the night sky for a long time and asked him.

"It's probably okay, it should be okay."

My father listened to my question and replied with a smile.

Obviously he should have asked the question, but he said it very affirmatively, and he couldn't detect anything wrong in his voice, as if he had suddenly woken up and had hope for life again.

With that, my father turned his head to look at the night sky again, then smiled and jumped down.

That's it for this page.

Looking further back, there are some investigations that the original owner has done on Xicheng Jiangwu.

According to his investigation, his father, Seigo Nishijo, suffered from depression and anxiety for a long time.

Even when he sleeps, he will have visual hallucinations, and he saw Xicheng Haixi sitting next to him with a smile.

The heavy pressure brought by the family, the death of Xicheng Haixi, but the fifteen-year-old son... It all seemed to be a pressure on him. 、

Xicheng Shogo is afraid.

There was no woman behind him to rely on, as if he was suddenly missing a pillar.

Seeing the end, Xicheng closed the notebook, and then swept to the remaining two notebooks.

He flipped it open.

Two notebooks, the paper inside which is yellowed.

The first is the notebook of Saijo Shogo, which records the growth of Nishijo-style.

The second notebook is from Xicheng Haixi, which records Xicheng Shogo's favorite food, his hobbies...

These two notebooks do not have any useful information and can be described as completely non-essential.

But after reading it, Xicheng put it back in its place preciously.

After all, in life, you always have to be in awe of something.

"I didn't expect that the original owner's parents have passed away."

Nishijo-style stood up from the bench.

In this way, the entire Xicheng family, the original owner can be regarded as unaccompanied

Except for the Chisa Nishijo who is still a little unclear about the situation... No, there should be two nurses, Suzu Nishijo and Aiko Nishijo.

These people are all Xicheng style to pay attention to.

As for the others...?

We'll have to wait until we meet.

Sorting out my thoughts is here for the time being, and tomorrow's specific actions will have to be improvised, and I don't know what the current situation of the Xicheng family is.

Soon, Suzu Nishijo and Aiko Nishiro brought dinner.

They must have just made it, and it was a steaming Japanese-style set meal, with charcoal-grilled fish in a long plate, mentaiko in a small dish, and steaming miso soup on the side.

Xicheng Shiki is not worried about what they will do with the food.

He now has ten imperial spells, and the death qi he possesses can basically instantly purify substances that are uncomfortable with the body.

After two or three dinners, I went to the bathroom to wash up.

With all that done, he went back to his room.

"It's time to rest."

The time now points to eleven o'clock.

At such a late hour, even if you want to do anything, you don't have time.

Thinking of this, Xicheng Shi fell asleep without hesitation.

......

On the other side, the main house of the West City.

It's already past eleven o'clock, and the eighty-year-old Nishijo Kaichi still has no intention of resting.

He sat at the top of the seat, looked at Chisa Saijo, who was kneeling on the cushion below, and asked.

"Chisa, what's going on with that thing?"

His voice was flat, and his cloudy old eyes were fixed on Chisa Nishijo.

Obviously, Nishijosuke sensed something was wrong with Nishijo-style in an instant.

In the past, Xicheng didn't dare to disobey himself in front of him, usually what he arranged, Xicheng would do it obediently.

“... Ah Shi seems to have lost his memory... However, as he himself said, the real situation still needs to be speculated. ”

Saijo Qiansa lowered her head and opened her mouth to explain.

Naturally, she didn't dare to lie to Nishijo Jieichi.

Amnesia?

Nishijo Sukeichi put his hand on the table and made a noise.

Just this one action made Nishijo Chisa's head even lower.

After a long while, Chisa Nishijo heard a voice from the top one: "What do you think... Can he still use it? ”

"I think it might be a little difficult."

Xicheng Qiansha immediately replied, and her voice did not fluctuate at all: "Ah Shi has been missing for a year, and his ability will definitely not change much, and on the contrary, the Xicheng Shunping of this family should have surpassed him in this year." ”

This smooth and extraordinarily convincing analysis did not win Nishijo's consent.

He just looked at Xicheng Qiansha below, a pair of old eyes slowly widened, and his tone suddenly became heavy: "Are you selfish?" ”

In this regard, Xicheng Qiansha's face did not fluctuate at all, her head was raised, and she was very calm:

"I do have selfish intentions. Because Ah Shi and I are childhood sweethearts, it is natural for me to favor him. ”

She did not deny this fact.

But—

"But my analysis is not wrong, if Ah Shi is really amnesia, it will indeed have a big impact."

Xicheng Qiansha's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and her face could not see the slightest hesitation or dazedness.

Seeing this, Nishiro Sukei couldn't help but nod.

She is indeed very smart and knows that she can't deceive herself by concealing it, so she simply confesses it.

"But you still need to test, so let him compete with Xicheng Shunping..."

Sukeichi Nishijo made the decision lightly.

"I see."

Chisa Nishijo did not express any objections.

She also knows that for her own opinions, Nishiro Suke will not even refer to them, he will always do what he thinks.

As the actual supreme ruler of the Xicheng family at present, coupled with the power accumulated over the years, Xicheng Kaichi is fully qualified for dictatorship.

He confirmed many things with Saijo Chisa, and Saijo Chisa answered truthfully one by one before he was able to leave.

"......" Nishiro Sensa.

Standing outside the door, Chisa Saijo's face was cold, and her fingers involuntarily played with the short hair in her ears.

It's kind of a little habit of hers.

Normally, she would only reach for her hair when she was thinking.

Her report is only part of it, and then Nishijo Sukuichi will inevitably have to find someone else to confirm the authenticity of his words.

This old man may have lived too long, and over time he became suspicious.

"Why... Do you have to come back at this point? ”

Chisa Nishijo's fingers were lowered, and a thin sound squeezed out of her throat.

In his crisp voice, there seemed to be a faint sense of resentment.

She shook her head and walked away slowly.

It doesn't help to stay here any longer.

......

The time of awakening in the West Side style is very regular.

Take a look at the time.

Exactly seven o'clock.

He got up and put on the clothes prepared by Suzu Nishijo and Aiko Nishijo.

After washing, he tidied up his clothes and sent a message to Kitagawa Temple.

This is the contact between him and Kitagawa Temple.

If Xicheng Shi didn't send a message for more than twelve hours, Kitagawa Temple would break through from the outside.

Now that the text message has been sent, Xicheng has to think about what to do next.

After a brief thought, Nishijo made a decision.

He planned to take a look around his home in the West City to see what was going on around him.

In case even if something happens temporarily, there will be no way out if you want to get out of here.

But the moment he pushed the door open.

Xicheng saw the girl sitting by the paper door and already setting the table to eat.

Short black hair, big eyes, petite body.

It was none other than Nishiro Chisa.

I don't know how long she's been waiting here, and it looks like she has to settle breakfast outside her room.

As soon as she saw Xicheng style come out, Xicheng Qiansha did not rush to say hello, but glanced at the time on her mobile phone.

Then she looked up and said:

"Wake up at seven o'clock... A-Shi, you've changed. ”

"Oh?" Xicheng Shi was somewhat interested: "When did I get up before?" ”

After all, it's the original owner's business, and Xicheng still cares.

Could it be that the original owner used to get up earlier than himself?

"In the past, I didn't wake up until nine o'clock."

Nine?

That's a bit of a subtle number.

Stuck in the middle, not up or down.

If you want to talk about lying in bed, strictly speaking, it doesn't count, if you want to say that you don't count lying in bed, it's actually a little late from nine o'clock.

"The Arabic style has never been up to the bottom before." Sensa Nishijo straightened her clothes and stood up.

"Really?" Nishijo didn't care about Nishijo Chisa's words, and asked, "You don't continue to eat?" ”

As he spoke, he also pointed to the small table that Xicheng Qiansha had set up.

She didn't take a bite of the food on it.

"Come with you, there are some things to discuss with you."

Chisa Nishijo wiped her palms and stood up, and replied in a flat tone.

There is something to discuss with yourself.

What is this?

Nishijo-style gaze at Sensa Nishijo.

This girl has only known each other for a long time, but Xicheng can also feel that she is much more complicated than a simple white mist god.

When dealing with her, you have to be a little more vigilant.

After answering casually, Xicheng Shi didn't see any of them, and simply followed behind her.
