"Well, let's go, Sakurano."

Turning his head, Fuji smiled so gently that Sakura didn't consciously hook her lips slightly, and she smiled shallowly, "Hmm." ”

"Hey, boy over there, don't let me go."

A joking voice came in, and when he turned his head to look, Long Ya was holding his head behind his back and leaning against the entrance of the mountain path, "If you don't leave, it's going to be dawn." ”

"Hi Hi! Yes, sir! ”

Smiling and joking, Sakura nodded slightly to Fuji and walked side by side towards Long Ya, "Let's go." ”

"Please, ladies first."

Helplessly curling her lips, Sakurano smiled and tapped Long Ya's shoulder, who deliberately bowed down to make an invitation gesture, and took the lead in walking into the moss-covered, narrow and slippery simple mountain steps.

Behind him are Long Ya and Fuji, who are smiling and thinking differently.

"Echizen, let's go."

On the other side, Echizen, who heard Momojo's greeting, retracted his gaze and looked at Fuji and his party, pressed the brim of his hat, and followed Tezuka and Naryo who had already started to leave.

"Chuanjun, aren't you leaving?"

Kawamasa, who didn't hear Oishi's urging at all, looked at Naryo and Tezuka who left for the mountain, hatefully, and thought about it with great resentment. "Ah, Chuan-kun, let's go, Chuan-kun, let's go-oh!"

It wasn't until he was called back by Ying Er's voice that Chuan frowned, and walked to the front alone without a sound, burying his head in the process, leaving behind the big stone and Ying Er, looking at each other, I don't know why.

"Alas! It's all uneasy guys! ”

Baishan beside him shook his head and sighed, but he provoked a disdainful eye knife from Ryuzaki, "The least worry-free thing should be you, an old man!" ”

"Haha! Young, it's for squandering! ”

Baishan stroked his beard, laughed loudly, and walked to the path up the mountain, "It's so beautiful! Young people! ”

"Hmph."

Shaking his head funny, Ryuzaki followed, but in the depths of his eyes, there was no trace of it, reverie and nostalgia, young man, right.

And in the deep mountains that seem to have long been forgotten, the three of them are looking at the little girl who is jumping forward in front of them with great suspicion.

"Keiko, is this really the way up the mountain?"

"Of course! Brother,"

The girl paused and turned around, facing Qian's question, only for a moment, her eyes were already misty, "Don't you believe Keiko?" ”

"Huh? No, no. Brother didn't mean that. ”

Facing the little girl who was crying, the three of them, who had never encountered this kind of situation, suddenly became a little confused, waved their hands again and again, and looked at the already dim sky and the mountains and forests to explain.

"I see that it's not too early this day, but we are still a long way from the top of the mountain, could it be that Keiko you remember the wrong way?"

"Huh?"

Stopping the action of rubbing her eyes, Keiko blinked, looked back at the flat land on the top of the mountain that shimmered in the distance, and tilted her head in the expectant eyes of the three of them, revealing a very puzzled look, "When did Keiko say that she was going to take her brothers to this mountaintop?" ”

"Huh?"

The three of them looked stunned, Keiko looked at the three people who looked at each other, and said extremely innocently, "Didn't Granny Sumire tell you that you are going to the top of the mountain?" ”

Following Keiko's fingers, a taller, more distant mountain appeared in their stunned eyes behind the top of the flat mountain in the distance.

"Hey, you, you mean, we, going to climb, that mountain?!"

Haitang, who had been silent, couldn't help but ask in surprise, and what he got was Keiko's innocent expression.

"Yes, my brothers' campsite is there, and if you can't climb up, you won't have a place to sleep. However, "

Sweetly bent her eyes, Keiko smiled cutely and innocently.

"Keiko took her brothers to take, it's a shortcut! I'm sure I'll be able to climb up before dawn! ”

"Yes, yes." Smiled stiffly, the three of them turned their heads, tears flowed in their hearts, dawn, ah. That's right, "shortcut", of course, the three people who turned their heads didn't see the demonic, sweet smile on Keiko's face in front of them.

"If you think about it, it's the first time you've seen that kid from Long Ya with your own eyes."

On the secluded mountain path, Hyaksan and Ryuzaki walked side by side, whispering and chatting.

"Yes, he was in the United States before he left home. I've only heard him mentioned by Minamijiro and Sakurano. However, although he is an adopted son, he really looks like him. ”

Ryuzaki responded, remembering the person he hadn't seen for a long time.

"The eyebrows, eyes, personality, attitude, and even experience are all very similar."

"It's different, kid."

Baishan's words attracted Ryuzaki's side eyes, he narrowed his eyes and shook his head slightly, "Nanjiro has floated for so many years, and he has finally settled down." He's like a gust of wind, he can't stop. ”

"Maybe,"

Ryuzaki sighed.

"After all, it's a different person."

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Sakura, how are she doing in the past few years?"

After being silent for a while, Baishan seemed to think of something, and looked at Ryuzaki, who was already frowning, "I see that her state is stable and her mood is much brighter, and it seems that the situation is not bad." ”

"I don't know, there have been some changes recently, it seems that Hecate has appeared once, and this is the first time since I came back. However, after entering Qingxue, her mentality has improved a lot. ”

Ryuzaki sighed, his face full of loving kindness.

"Anyway, it's more reassuring to let her go back to Japan and stay with me. As for that incident, after all, it has been a knot for many years, and for a while, it can't be untied, so take your time. ”

"Sakura-chan, that kid, I like it from the bottom of my heart. If it gets better,"

After a pause, Baishan sighed heavily, with endless expectations in his eyes, "Her future will definitely be glorious and glorious beyond all her predecessors." ”

"I regret not being able to give her a full and innocent childhood. In the future, I only wish her good health and no regrets. ”

The night has risen, the moonlight is gradually rising, and Ryuzaki's expression seems so sincere and sincere in the night moonlight, but with it, reminiscing about sadness.

Baishan sighed lightly, patted his old friend on the shoulder, and was a little inexplicably sentimental under his cynical expression, "Look away, it's in the past." In the future, it's up to them. ”

The mountain wind is cold and steep, and the sigh is carried away by the wind, crumpled in the obscure and deep mountain forest.

The years are old, the past is fleeting, the wind is howling, a hundred years, a snap of a finger.

"Are Long Yajun and Sakura-san old acquaintances?"

The mountain path was dark, and Ryuya and Fuji walked side by side behind Sakurano, Fuji tilted his head slightly, breaking the brief silence.

"Hmm."

Long Ya nodded nonchalantly, her expression full of cynical banter.

"Sakura-chan is my man."

"What virtue, who is your man."

Hearing Long Ya's ambiguous introduction, Sakura stumbled under her feet, turned her head and glared at Long Ya, who shrugged her shoulders fiercely, and looked helplessly at Fuji, who was slightly surprised.

"Senior, don't listen to his nonsense. Long Ya and I met by chance on the streets of the United States, and it was because of some people who knew the same thing that we gradually became acquainted. ”

"Sakura-chan, how can you say it so distantly, it makes me sad so much."

Ruffian hooked his lips with his hands behind his back, and Long Ya and Sakura talked to each other, making the smile on Fuji's face on the side deep, "You guys have a really good relationship." ”

"Nope."

Tilting his head, Sakurano smiled, looking at the familiar tenderness on Fuji's face, and for some reason, his eyes darkened.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing,"

After a pause, Sakura looked at Fuji, bit her lip and was silent for a long time, turned around, and continued to walk forward, the atmosphere was frozen for a moment.

Long Ya looked at the back of Sakura, who was silent, with a slight smile, and the expression in her eyes was a little mottled at this sense of déjà vu.

"I'll get it."

Tezuka's path is still covered in moss, and it is very slippery.

Nai Liang carried the medicine box and looked at his feet carefully, but he was still a little unstable, Tezuka looked back, frowned slightly, and stretched out his hand to Na Liang.

"Huh?"

Nai Liang raised his head in some surprise, paused, and smiled slightly, "Okay." ”

Handing over the medicine box in his hand, Nai Liang did not forget to turn around and greet the two people behind him.

"Ryoma-kun, Momojo-kun, keep up!"

"Hmm."

Echizen responded gloomily, his steps were faster, and the distance between him and the two in front of him was shortened, but he didn't take a few steps, but his heart was slightly abrupt, and there was a tingling sensation of pins and needles.

The soles of his feet were not paying attention, and he stumbled a little unsteadily, and after recovering his senses, he couldn't help but stop his steps.

Momojo on the side poked him with his elbow.

"Hey, Echizen, don't you think the minister and this Nagasaki Naryo are weird? And the hostility of her brother to the minister before......"

Momojo, who was full of doubts, was still looking at the road under his feet and chattering, and when he saw that there was no response, he looked up, and noticed that Echizen beside him was in a trance that was not quite right.

"The more, the more!"

"Echizen, what's wrong?"

"Ryoma-kun? Ryoma-kun? ”

The inquiring voices of the three people in his ears were a little vague, and Echizen stroked his face, unconsciously and unconsciously looked in the direction of the side head, and there was a dizzy, déjà vu feeling in his mind.

"What's wrong,"

The hand holding the strap tightened slightly, and Echizen muttered to himself in a low voice, stunned for a long time, before he came back to his senses in the call of the two people beside him.

"Ryoma-kun, what's wrong with you?"

In the face of Nailiang's concern and inquiry, Echizen shook his head, feeling inexplicably irritable, and walked quickly to the front, but there was a sense of loneliness in his heart.

Tezuka and Naryo couldn't help but glance at each other, frowning, what the hell is wrong.

"Sakurano-san, it's getting darker. The road ahead is quite steep, so you can come to the back. ”

After walking for a while, he glanced at the surrounding mountains and forests, the path was narrow, and the two sides were not shallow valleys, only the trees were blocked, which was really dangerous, so he opened his mouth to Sakurano in front of her, wanting her to come to the back.

"Huh? What the? ”

I didn't hear what Fuji was saying, Sakurano paused, and was about to turn back, but she unintentionally tripped over the branches under her feet, and her body fell to one side uncontrollably.

"Be careful!"

Long Ya and Fuji were both shocked and reached out to pull.

"Wow, it scared the hell out of me."

Fortunately, the branches on the side of the road were all over the place, and Sakurano quickly grabbed one and hung it in the air, smiling and sighing with a thrilling smile.

"It's scared to death!"

Long Ya glared at Sakura, who was still smiling in mid-air, "You can still laugh!" ”

"We'll pull you up."

Fuji had already opened his eyes, his ice blue eyes shining with concern.

"Hmm,"

Sakura Nai pulled the vine in her right hand, and when she heard this, she stretched out her vacant left hand, and was about to hold the hand of Long Ya, who was closer to her, but she caught a flash of silver light in the corner of her right eye.

She turned her head in shock, only to see a silver object fall out of her right close-fitting pocket and fall into the deep valley below, Sakurano subconsciously reached out with her left hand to grab it.

Didn't catch, didn't catch, didn't.

"Mine,"

Sakurano looked at the silver light that was close to her fingertips, biting her lip in disbelief, a churning pain welling up in her mind, unconsciously letting go, she grabbed the vine, right hand.

"Sakura-chan, what are you doing, Sakura,"

Seeing Sakura Nomo let go of his hand as if stunned, Long Ya reached out in horror to grab it, but in vain, the figure had fallen far away.

"Sakura, Sakura-chan!"

Long Ya couldn't help leaning forward, and she was already on the verge of falling into the valley, but fortunately, she was sober and caught Long Ya, who was a little crazy.

"Long Yajun, you."

"Sakura-chan! Sakura-chan! Sakura-chan! ”

Pulling the vines on the edge of the cliff, Long Ya called out in disbelief, and the out-of-control sound spread through the empty valley.

"Long Yajun, calm down."

Fuji seemed to be already shocked, but he was a little calmer than Long Ya, but it was only a little, and when he stood up, he was also a little unsteady, "We, we." ”

"Go down, I'm going down to find Sakura-chan!"

Stopping the call, Long Ya's body trembled slightly.

"I'm going down."

"But we're going to find someone to inform the mother-in-law about them, let's,"

Before Fuji's words were finished, Long Ya in front of him had already grabbed the vines on the cliff wall next to the road, and climbed to the bottom of the valley from top to bottom.
