Chapter Forty-Eight: Family Needs Companionship
Recently, there was a lot of news from Hiraguchi that the bandits who had been roaming around there had been wiped out. The leader was killed, most of them could no longer use knives, and some of them fled to unknown places.
People can no longer use knives, such a gesture makes people can't help but think of the westward female swordsman Xixing Temple, in fact, this thing was indeed done by her.
However, the leader of the bandits was killed, which should be the first murder of the temple in rumors. Moreover, her methods of killing were extremely cruel, and the leader of the bandits was cut in two. Literally, the whole body has been cut in half.
The human body is not as fragile as imagined, and it takes a lot of strength to achieve this level, and it is hard to imagine that this would be done by a female swordsman.
Not to mention that the rumored female swordsman called Saikoji used a rusty iron knife, which was not sharp at all, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a blunt knife.
In short, with such news, the swordsmanship of the Saihang Temple has also been greatly exaggerated, and some people even began to say that the swordsmanship of the Saihang Temple is really inherited from the demons.
Well, I have to admit that this news seems to be a little bit accurate.

Autumn is a little cold, and the oncoming wind has already brought a hint of chill, but autumn is also the most moving season in Junhu.
There is no other reason, just because of the red maples in the city.
Every autumn season, the mountains and forests outside the city, the side of the streets, and the small courtyards of people are full of red maple trees, and the maple leaves are like the footprints of the arrival of autumn, falling in every place within sight.
Such a county is worthy of being called the county of red maple.
When I first walked into the county with Sakurako, the first thing I saw was not the building or the crowd, but the maple leaves falling everywhere, and it was hard to say what kind of feeling it was.
Sakurako saw a beautiful view, but at first she saw something else.
The falling maple leaves are like a passing life.
There was a passage of life, which was mostly felt on corpses at first, but she had felt it in another place a few days earlier.
Do you remember the white flower that Sakurako wore on her head when she was flat?
At first she put it away and kept it, until one day she noticed that the white flowers were gradually withering and decaying.
At that time, she felt that not everything could last forever like the sin in her, and it seemed that the more beautiful things were, the more fragile they became.
Why, she thought, isn't something good worth being there forever?
She sandwiched the white flowers to a page in her diary, maybe one day she would find the answer, maybe, one day.
"It's beautiful. โ
Sakurako looked up at the town among the red maples and sighed.
She thought of something, hesitated for a moment, stretched out a hand, and carefully grabbed the palm of Chu Weiliang beside her.
The girl smiled and said, "Chu, come and take a walk with me." โ
She knew she didn't have much time left, whether she could kill Jizo or not, she didn't have much time left.
At first glance, the girl is equally beautiful in her opinion.
But she was suddenly a little frightened, afraid that girls were equally vulnerable.
However, before she had time to think about it, she was already pulled by the red-faced girl into the flying red leaves.
On the corner of the street, a man watched silently as the two walked away and retreated.
In addition to the red maple, Junhu is also a very beautiful city, with ancient buildings, a babbling river that runs through the city, and a small stone bridge over the river.
Sakurako held Hatsu's hand, Hatsu held an umbrella, and the two walked in the maple leaves. If this is not a path of revenge, it should be peaceful and peaceful.
On the way, Sakurako and Hatsu talked a lot about her father, who liked to smoke, her mother, who liked to laugh, the fields she liked, and the frogs and dragonflies she liked.
She said that in the beginning, she wanted to be a scarecrow when she grew up, so that she could stay in the field at home and not let the birds steal it. Ha, that's probably what she thought about when she was very young, for a child, she wanted to protect her home in her own way.
Later, she wanted to be an abbot when she grew up, just like an old monk, praying for the blessings of the world. The evening bell of that twilight is ringed every day, calling people to go home. That should be what she thought when she was in Qingxin Temple, and she thought at that time that it would be better to spend her life in a plain way.
But later, there was no later.
Sakurako and Chu have been walking for a long time, and they should have walked around Junhu, from afternoon to dusk.
On that day, Sakurako was always smiling, and after the old monk died, it was rare to see Sakurako so happy at first.
But for Sakurako, is that really happy, maybe she just wants to make the best goodbye possible.
While walking across a small bridge, Sakurako stopped and stood by the bridge, looking at the reflection of herself and Hatsu in the water, and said to Hatsu.
"Chu, all the time, thank you so much. โ
Chu was silent for a moment, and in her opinion, Sakurako didn't need to say thanks.
"This is my task. โ
She said that because it was a mission, she would fulfill all of Sakurako's requests and wishes.
A maple leaf fell on the water, causing ripples on the surface of the water, disturbing the reflection of the two men.
In the reflection, Sakurako has a smile on her face.
"For you, it may be just a mission, but for me, you are my family. โ
"Family?" Chu tilted his head slightly.
"yes. On the bridge, the girl said to the messenger.
"Family. โ
From a certain point of view, under the effect of the contract, the two can indeed be regarded as having the same heart.
But this time, I realized that this was not what Sakurako meant.
Under the autumn sky, the wind rustles the red maples of the county.
"Sakurako. Feng Sheng said softly, "I'm sorry." โ
"Why do you apologize. Sakurako asked, smiling to herself and whispering, "You don't have to apologize." โ
She understood that it was just a mission.
She also understands that many things are just her own thoughts.
But at this time, Chu said.
"As a family member, I can't be by your side all the time, I'm sorry. โ
Chu's voice was still so flat, a little hoarse.
Maybe that's what Sakurako's father and mother once wanted to say to her.
A tear slipped down Sakurako's cheek.
She wanted to wipe it off, but she couldn't. In her tears, she smiled and smiled happily.
"It's okay, I understand. โ
The girl cried and said, "That's enough."
It's just that when all the family members are gone, she will feel a little lonely, and it really doesn't matter.
