【Volume 1】Lanwan 50: Matcha
"Look, it's her! It's really her! ”
"That's her! Sister, sister, it's us! ”
A group of children shouted at Light Feather and rushed towards her. The battle frightened the guards and quickly stepped aside.
The child rushed up and threw himself into Qingyu's arms, and the elder sister kept screaming, thanking each other, and taking a benefactor. The two older boys also praised her for being beautiful and called fairies, and I don't know who they learned from.
"Thanks to you that day, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to leave." Three or two members of the Dawn Organization came with the children, and they were very welcoming to Light Feather, not minding that she had been with the special operators before.
Qing Yu took a closer look and found that these were the people who were let go by himself that night. Especially the long-haired woman, which is really impressive. It's just that she has tied her hair up now, and she looks much better than the "female ghost" that night, refreshing and atmospheric, and she is a flamboyant European-style beauty.
"Hey, I didn't expect to meet again so soon. It will take months for my hair to grow back after you cut it off. She joked, grabbing her golden ponytail and shaking it in front of Light Feather:
"My name is Nancy. This is Qi Nan. He is Harare. Nancy warmly introduced everyone to Qingyu. Harare looked like a sunny guy, and Qi Nan with a knife had a cold face:
"I heard that you are the black money mercenary who has been famous recently. It was a pity last time, but I have the opportunity to compete with you. Qi Nan looked at Qing Yu's saber and pistol, and his quiet eyebrows were very serious.
But Qingyu didn't come to make friends with them, whether it was a husky or Nan Mulei, she wasn't interested in what these people were called: "I have something important to find Ito Sword." ”
"I know, but Ken-chan is busy. You probably know what happened last night. The envoy they executed was the brother of Jian Jiang's classmates for ten years, and Jian Jiang would not easily settle this account. I'm angry with that bastard city lord right now. Nancy looked like an adult, and Qi Nan was obviously not very happy:
"Nancy, don't say so much to outsiders."
Nancy was surprised, and the thief smiled: "Qi Nan, she is not an outsider, Jian Jiang has sent out the blood hook jade that is more important than life!" Obviously, this is the future lady! ”
"I was also shocked when I first saw the Bloodhook Jade. But think about it, you are worthy of being the boss of the sword, and you just do things simply! Harare laughed along, and winked at Light Feather.
But from beginning to end, there was no expression on Qing Yu's face. She only cares about when she will see Ito and how long it will be before she goes to sea. She was so interested in the task He Fu said this time that she couldn't wait.
Karuha was invited in as a guest, worried that she would be bored, and Ito Ken specially asked Nancy to accompany her. However, Qing Yu thought they were very noisy, and he didn't say a few words the whole time.
Nowadays, you can see the Dawn Organizers everywhere in Tieyang Harbor, and these people are indeed well-trained and very united, and most of them are all wearing white ronin suits.
Nancy tells Karuha that the ronin suit is the principle of Ito Sword, and as long as it is his subordinates, everyone must dress uniformly. In this way, it will be more cohesive, and everyone will be more like a family.
This is indeed like Japan's unique rigid and rigorous style. It's just that Japan is a country that unfortunately has long ceased to exist in the apocalypse. Moreover, I heard that Japan has been plagued by radiation, and after the catastrophe, the disadvantages became more and more apparent - Japan is one of the several ethnic groups with Japanese ancestry and a very high birth rate of deformed children, and the implementation of the "merit-based plan" 20 years ago and almost wiped out.
Although pure Japanese are now very rare, Ito Ken still continues and inherits his own national culture in his own way, such as the uniform uniform, such as everyone must learn how to use the katana.
Nancy and the others had just been transferred from another jurisdiction, so the uniforms weren't ready yet. Of course, they had acted with Ito Ken before, and they were very convinced of him and wanted to follow him all along.
In Qingyu's view, the stories of these so-called "terrorists" are full of affection and human brilliance, and they are far more respectable than the rotten government and aristocracy. It's just about "; Mrs. Future", Qing Yu was indeed very puzzled.
Ito Ken did say that he liked her, but shouldn't that be an appreciation for her ability and courage, why did he really like her?
Qing Yu was holding the blood hook jade in his hand, which was obviously a good thing of great value, but he felt a little embarrassed. But thinking of its own value, even if it's a hedgehog, I don't want to lose it!
"Here we are."
Nancy took Light Feather out of the carriage and went to the annex next to the City Lord's Mansion. Ito Ken currently lives here. Nancy counted the time and brought her over. I wanted to live in such a good place, and Ito Ken was nothing more than that, but after entering, Kazuha realized that the interior design of this annex was Japanese-style.
I have to say very subtle.
Nowadays, Chinese style is the mainstream of society, especially now that Japanese culture is almost extinct, and it is almost impossible to see such a pure Japanese garden. Qing Yu has only seen sporadic records in historical illustrated books, but what he has seen with his own eyes at this moment is indeed a sense of art that is similar to Chinese culture but completely different. Bibi eBook
If Chinese culture is grand and magnificent, graceful and ostentatious, then Japanese art is gentle and delicate, natural and decent, and beautiful.
Light Feather was indeed attracted by such a fresh sense of art, and she didn't even notice when Nancy left, and when she came back to her senses, only Ito Jian stood quietly under the porch and looked at her:
"How, isn't it unbelievable that there is such a place in Lanyang City?" Ito Ken clasped his arms together, his hands crossed in his big sleeves. He carefully admired everything in front of him, his gaze transitioned from light feathers to the scenery of the courtyard, but his always resolute eyes were full of dreams and blind dreams at this moment:
"Combot Zuoqiu, the lord of Lanyang City, a cruel and shameless villain. I don't like him, and I don't want to deal with him if I could. But there is one thing I want to praise him.
Itoken's eyes slowly scanned the courtyard, like light in the haze, like rain in the middle of summer, it was compassion and sympathy, as well as a deep attachment and remembrance to the dream that was already out of reach:
"Qingyu, look here, Zuoqiu provided me with this place, and I have worked hard to build it over the years, and every brick and tile has been arranged by me with water. Many years ago, when I was a child, my home was like that. I love it and it's the only place that makes me feel at home. ”
"Can you understand how I feel?" Ito Ken looked at her, a heart scarred by the pain of life and death, and the destruction of the family, looking forward to the collision of another heart that had also experienced life and death, parting and pain.
But where did he know that the other heart had long since given up the most important and beautiful emotion of being a human being:
"I used to think I had a home, but then I realized that I never had one. For me, there was none, there is none, and there will never be. So I don't understand what you're talking about. ”
The woman is like a solitary black rose on a frosty night, she is very dazzling, and can refuse all the touch of temperature. Even if it was He Fu, she still kept a delicate distance. Because she is self-aware and has some warmth, she doesn't dare to have it, and she doesn't deserve it, which will only plunge herself and the other party into despair and pain.
If you know it's purgatory, why let everyone be trapped in it?
This indifferent answer stabbed Ito's sword heart hard, but he smiled brightly: "It's okay, maybe one day you will be willing to understand me." ”
"Inside, please, Miss Kabyu. You are a distinguished guest, and I will treat you well. ”
took off her shoes and entered the room, Ito Jian served her a Japanese tea ceremony, but Qingyu had no intention of staying for a long time, and the tea bowl was picked up and put down: "I already know your intentions, and Nancy also told me." But I'm sorry, I didn't plan to marry you, and I won't pay you back, so it's mine. ”
"I'm not going to hide it, I came to you in a hurry, I need a ship, and I'll leave for Guloka right away. As long as it is reasonable, the conditions are up to you. ”
The tea room is fragrant, the fragrance of matcha and incense complement each other, it is clear that spring has not yet begun, but sitting here, it is like bathing in the tranquility of midsummer. It's as if even time has slowed down.
Ito Jian also tasted tea with a tea bowl and held the tea bowl with both hands. He is very meticulous, which is different from Gu Nanyi's other exquisiteness, but it is only for Japanese culture: "Although Japanese tea culture originated in China, it is different after it slowly develops. In Japan, it is rude to the host to speak before the tea is finished. If you don't finish the tea, it's even more rude. ”
"Miss Qingyu, my current words and deeds can be regarded as a provocation." Ito Ken looked up, but the corners of his mouth were smiling. He looked like an elegant and well-mannered gentleman, a far cry from the decisive and domineering manner of Julia's time.
It turns out that this Ito sword is still a man who understands life.
But Light Feather didn't come to talk to him about life.
"The envoy who was killed that day, I heard Nancy say that the city lord of Zuoqiu sent it out privately." The change in topic was a little abrupt, and Ito Ken's eyes showed helplessness:
"He is a good friend of my classmate for ten years, but unfortunately he is too greedy for money, otherwise he would not have been encouraged by Zuoqiu. Zuoqiu is not trustworthy, he is desperate now, and he must take refuge in us, but in fact, he still wants to reconcile with Marat. ”
"I went to warn him, and finally gave up on these terrible calculations. Otherwise, there will never be a place for him in this world. When it comes to business, Ito Ken naturally picks up the demeanor of a leader, and he is indeed suitable for such an identity.
Light Yu picked up the tea bowl again, drank the tea in one go, put down the empty bowl with both hands, and turned the front of the bowl facing himself to Ito Sword: "As you said, the tea, drink it according to the rules." ”
"So, should I make an offer to you?" Ito Ken was still smiling, and his eyes were always soft and pleasing to the eye.
But Qingyu suddenly stretched out a hand by himself:
"Five hundred thousand, no more. If you dare to pit me, even if you swim over, I will definitely beat you up! ”
