The leaves climbed up and withered and yellowed, swayed in the wind, and fell down the treetops, and then were trampled underfoot.

When the leaves make a soft sound, the branches above are rows of crows staring down, watching the passers-by in the park, and occasionally, the sky sounds the sound of wings flapping, and the black crow crows hover, and then fall into the nearby woods.

"Have you noticed that there have been more and more crows in Mizumoto Park recently? ”

Pedestrians who came out for a walk after dinner at a nearby house looked at a dead cherry tree in the distance, and the bare branches were all the figures of crows, pecking at each other or combing their feathers

"I've called the municipality, but unfortunately once I've driven them away, those crows will fly back again, but they won't go to other parks to roost. ”

"Maybe it's our environment that's more suitable for them to reproduce......"

The residents of the strolling side chatted and gossiped slowly in the direction of home, and the view extended to cross the wooden bridge over the small river, and about two miles from the park, it was a single-family residential area.

A child ran past a nearby waterhole, throwing a stone and causing a ripple on the surface of the water, reflecting the residual red of the setting sun, and pushing it out in all directions.

There is a deflection of eyes from a house next to the waterhole, today is approaching the weekend, Keiko Sakai, who came home from work early, tied an apron and made dinner, and then brought the table to her son who was doing homework upstairs and shouted: "Mago, it's time to eat!"

The meal was a little richer than usual, and the portion size for two was relatively simple, with a plate of tempura (fried shrimp), octopus with scallion oil, fried dragon fish with bell peppers, two bowls of rice, and the indispensable flavor-enhancing soup.

"But lately, I've really realized that my appetite is too good...... Isn't there enough to eat? Well..... maybe it's starting to grow. Keiko Sakai took off her apron, and when she put it down, she looked at the crows flying through the window at sunset.

“...... The crows have suddenly become much better lately. ”

Pedaling .....

On the stairs, a small figure ran downstairs quickly, washed his hands and sat down obediently next to the dining table, and the woman followed, sat down opposite him, and handed over a pair of chopsticks.

"Mago, have you done your homework?"

The little boy took a bite of the dish and put it in the bowl, and nodded: "Well, it's all done!"

He took a bite, put it down, raised his head and asked, "Mom....Can I go out and play for a while after I've eaten?"

"Yes!" Keiko took a bite of tempura, and saw that her son finished planing the rice in the bowl three times and two times, and put the dishes and chopsticks on top of each other, and said, "I'm done!"

Then he ran out of the door.

"This kid ....."

Keiko looked at the bottom of the bowl he had eaten clean, shook her head, and after a while, when she finished eating and brought the leftovers to the refrigerator, powder spilled on it, and she walked past the window with a normal face.

Outside, behind the white wooden fence, the villain quietly watched his mother clean the dishes and chopsticks, and after going upstairs, he quietly ran back.

I took out the lunch box hidden under the kitchen cabinet, scooped up the still warm rice, and tinkered with it in the refrigerator for a while, closed the lunch box, hugged it in my arms, and quickly went out.

On the second floor, the woman stood behind the window of the room, watching her son's running back, and she had already noticed it.

After a while, he went downstairs and followed him to the waterhole.

Compared with the dense woods of the park, overgrown with weeds and sparse trees, it looks much more desolate and barren, and the recent flocks of crows inhabit this place, making the people around feel a little ominous, and the people who originally went fishing have become scarce.

The waterhole is not big, but the barren area of radiation is about a mile, and the trees are sparsely pulled, clustered in the east and west, and even if someone builds a simple shed in it, no one will pay attention.

At best, they are homeless vagabonds.

Among the barren trees and weeds, in front of a shed made of ropes and a few rags and plastic bags, a small bonfire burned, and a sharpened wooden stick was stuck diagonally on the ground, and a carp was skewered on it and roasted by the flames.

The fragrance is pervasive.

Not far away, the 'Ninth Master' was holding a fish in his mouth, and dragged it over from the waterhole little by little, "I'm tired, I'm tired!"

In the shed, a few worn-out towels were spread on the hay, saying that it was hay, but it had rained lightly a day ago, and the rain fell in and soaked the soil, and the towels and hay were also wet.

Xia Yi sat there, piled up a few empty boxes at his feet, looking at the barbecued fish, his eyes and the top of his head ached faintly, and he had been relying on painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs to alleviate the pain in the past few days, and his consciousness was barely gathered.

Even if the body is strengthened twice, and even the entire redstone is absorbed, flesh and blood are still flesh and blood after all, and in that kind of high-intensity explosion, people are not shocked by the shock wave to shatter their internal organs, tear their bones and flesh, which is already the biggest limit.

Moreover, Fang Tian's painting halberd, the Qinglong knife, the Japanese knife, and the chain knife with serrated teeth were also destroyed in the explosion.

"Fortunately, it's not the original weapon, go back and let Lu Mingfei build it..... it's just that it's like this, I don't know when I go back." ”

Xia Yi sighed, endured the pain, and reached out to flip the grilled fish on the wooden stick.

The ninth master, who was pecking at the raw fish over there, suddenly raised his head, flew up and stood on the treetops, the branches and leaves swayed, and it looked at the waterhole and shouted.

"Rice is coming! Rice is coming!"

The branches swayed and flew down again, Xia Yi raised his head, and a little boy over there stumbled over with a lunch box.

He handed over the box full of food with both hands.

With big eyes, he looked at Xia Yi, who was mottled and burned on his bald head in front of him, and shouted: "Ou Jisan, this is for you, my mother doesn't know." ”

At the beginning of the period, Xia Yi came over just to ask the only little boy he knew to help get some medicine to suppress the injury, but for several days, the boy would quietly bring some food out to him.

Under the language barrier, Xia also signaled a few times, but it had no effect, so he had to leave the boy alone.

The two didn't have much to do with each other, and they couldn't say anything.

Uehara would sometimes watch Natsu eat with the crows, muttering things they didn't understand.

"...... the guy next door who bullied me a lot. ”

"Dad..... found another woman, don't want me and mom anymore. ”

“....... Last time, I thought it would be a good meeting, but they finally divorced, and I have seen the woman outside once if there is anything good, and she is not as good-looking as her mother. ”

"My classmates ..... laughed at me behind my back for not having a father....."

It's probably some bits and pieces of complaints, maybe it's because Xia Yi doesn't understand the relationship, he dares to say this in front of an adult, sometimes, Zhenwu will also go to see the cloth hidden under the hay Imperial Soul, even if I have seen a samurai with a sword on TV, but I have never seen such a long weapon.

"Is this Ojisan's weapon?Is Ojisan a wandering samurai?!"

He dragged out a piece of the hilt of the knife, and when he asked, he saw Xia Yi nodding, clenched his small fist excitedly, stared at the hilt with wide eyes, and then looked at the man over there.

Mouth wide open.

No wonder Ojisan is so seriously injured....." Shingo stood up, did the samurai movements he learned from TV, and bowed: "...... Shingo will keep a secret for Ojisan!"

Quite innocent laughed.

Looking at the sky outside, he walked out of the shed with some reluctance, "Ojisan, it's too late, I'm going back, otherwise my mother will come out to look for me, and I'll come to see you tomorrow." ”

After speaking, he took a step forward, trotted away, stopped and turned around halfway, and waved towards Xia.

"There are also a lot of good people among the people of the island country, Ninth Master, don't you say?"

Xia Yi chewed the octopus whiskers, looked at the child's disappearing back, and said something with a smile, when the crow over there was about to echo, but suddenly his steps were unsteady, and he fell to the ground and fluttered twice.

"Boss, poisonous ...... in the meal"

Here, Xia Yi abruptly dropped the food box, grabbed a wooden stick and wanted to stand up, but before he could get up, the whole person was shaking, watching the crow's gaze spin around, staggering, and sitting on the ground.

The boat capsized in the gutter......

Such a thought flashed through his mind for a moment, his consciousness was obscured, and his body fell heavily, if he was in good condition, such a medicine would not make him fall so easily, at least it would last for a long time, enough for him to escape to a safe place.

A moment later.

A tuft of grass swayed, and Keiko Sakai's figure crept over, relieved to see a person and a crow walking around the campfire and an overturned lunch box.

"It turns out that Satoru has always been delivering food to this homeless man......"

Before, she didn't have too many suspicions, but several times in a row she found that the leftovers in the refrigerator were much less for no reason, and when she asked about her son, the latter only said that she was hungry at night and ate secretly, but how much can a child in the third grade eat?

Later, there were two secret observations, and it was found that Shingo secretly went out with some food behind her back, and at first I thought that the child might be feeding some stray cats and dogs, but I didn't want Shingo to do it often.

So simply, I bought some kind of medicine, put it in the meal, and waited for my son to feed it, and then sent the unconscious cat or dog away, so that I would not make Mago sad and would not waste the ingredients at home.

However, what appeared in front of him was a living person, with a handsome face and a bald head, giving people a strange beauty.

Keiko Sakai walked over cautiously, picked up a branch and poked it lightly twice, but when she didn't react, she dared to come closer, and then she took out the phone and prepared to call a shelter.

After all, there was a homeless man near her home, and she was so close to her son, which made her feel a little uneasy.

Keiko stared at Xia Yi on the ground, dialed out the number, looked down the man's face and chest one by one, and when he swept down, his face suddenly turned red.

I suddenly thought of two months ago......

So close to Shingo...... Meals were also delivered to him...... If that night ...... It's him......

A pair of beautiful eyes were tightly locked in the bulging trouser pocket, the lips pouted, opened slightly, and pulled up the thin skin of the mouth, and the words "Moses and Moses!" came out of the connected phone, all of which fell on deaf ears.

After reacting, he hurriedly said: "Private horse race ....." The thumb painted with red nails presses the hang up button.

The towering chest rises and falls.

After her husband had an affair, he rarely had married life with her, and a cold war and quarrels broke out, and there were almost no for two whole years, since that night...... After another two months, we met again.

At this moment, Keiko Sakai lived in the devil in her heart.

It's like there are countless ants crawling all over the body, crawling into the body.

She looked around and lifted her skirt......
