"Ahem!" The man didn't hold back and coughed out.

"Oops!! Uncle, are you alright? ”

With this exclamation, the man only felt a pain in his back, and his lungs were almost shattered by the hard blow. And the initiator is innocent, clearly I am for your good, but you don't appreciate it, you are so cruel and indifferent.

“……”

After a pause, the man asked again, "Anyway, what do you want me to help you with?" ”

The little child smiled like a flower, "Uncle, I just asked you to help me leave!" ”

In the decades that followed, this tranquil smile became the most profound memory in the man's memory.

The streets are full of people, and it is very lively.

"Uncle, where are you going?"

The man walked in a hurry, and he didn't look back when he heard the voice behind him. Along the way, since I brought 'him' out, I haven't stopped. Suddenly, he paused and frowned strangely. How? I don't seem to hear that nasty voice anymore. So, really, please?

'He' couldn't have been lost, or someone had taken him away, right?

The man thought for a moment, and after taking a few steps, he turned around and walked back a little uncomfortably. It's just that it would be better if his expression wasn't so reluctant.

"Hey! What are you doing crouching on the ground! Is there any money for you on earth? ”

"Woooooooooooo Daddy, you're back! Suddenly, a wolf's howl resounded throughout the market.

Onslaught!

The man's eyes widened, looking at the little bean who was holding his thighs and howling, gritted his teeth and said, "Let go of me!" ”

"Daddy! You like me, but don't sell me! ”

Many people along the road have set their eyes here, and no matter how thick Rao is man's face is, he has penetrated it.

"You get up!" He frowned and said viciously.

"Don't! If I get up, my dad will sell me again! ”

"Parents in these years, even if they can't eat enough, they should raise their children well, how can they sell such a lovely child!"

"Yes, such a ruthless father!"

"The Way of the World ......"

Everyone condemned one after another, and the eyes that looked at the man were also full of contempt, and they were full of sympathy for Qianye.

Being stared at by such a pair of eyes, the man finally couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward and picked up the phantom boy who was squatting on the ground, held it in his arms, and ran out of the crowd in a hurry.

A hint of pride flashed in Qian Ye's eyes, he grabbed the man's shirt tightly, and called softly: "Dad~" The sweet and greasy voice only made the goosebumps all over the body stand up and stand in rows.

"Shut up!"

Oh, that's funny!

The man walked all the way and after a while, he walked out of the city and came to a barren mountain.

Now Qianye is nervous, do you plan to throw herself away?

But the man did not speak, but made his way to the top of the mountain.

The top of the hill was also very desolate, but there was a lonely wooden house. There is a vegetable patch at the door, planted with some ordinary vegetables, which have just sprouted.

"Miko, I'm back."

Wooden door "squeak! With a bang, a woman pushed the door open. He was about twenty years old, with a beautiful face and a smile on his lips, and he looked very gentle.

The woman opened her mouth and was about to speak, when she heard a child's voice say, "Father, where is this?" "Her eyes widened as she looked at a beautiful 'boy' in her husband's arms.

"Husband, he, who is he......"

Qian Ye also did not correct their misidentification of their gender, and the yukata she wore was a dull color, both men and women. Besides, her hair is short, and she looks like a boy. Not to mention, she always used the self-proclaimed name of a man. Well, she's just used to it.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, I just picked it up on the road!" The man ruthlessly threw Qian Ye down, took three steps and two steps forward to hug his beloved wife into his arms. "Aiko, I have nothing to do with other women."

The woman wept profusely, looked at Qianye with a pair of teary eyes, and was relieved to see that she did not resemble her husband in any way. "The concubine is married to her husband but has nothing to do, so it is inevitable that she will worry and miss in her heart."

"It turns out that the uncle is already married. Alas~ I'm so disappointed! I thought that when I grew up, I would be able to marry you, uncle! ”

The man glared at her angrily and said, "Who are you marrying a boy!" ”

Qian Ye flattened his mouth and said, "But, boys can also pick up customers!" ”

The man was stunned when he heard this, and when he thought of where Qian Ye came from, he immediately looked embarrassed. "Miko, I'm ......"

"Good! You lied to me that you didn't have another woman, and you ended up quietly going to that kind of place! Is it because you're calling for a man, so there's no other woman?! The woman angrily broke free from the man's arms, waved her palm and slapped the man in the face.

"Smack!"

Qian Ye hurriedly covered his face and quietly looked at the man's expression. Tsk, it must have hurt!

"Miko, it's not like that! I'm here to avoid ......"

"Say no more! I don't want to see you! Get out of the way for me! ”

"Smack!"

Another slap in the face. The woman shook her arm, glared at the man fiercely, turned and stepped into the door, slamming it beautifully.

"Uncle, your wife seems to be angry!" Qian Ye came over and poked the man's arm and whispered.

The wound on his arm was poked in pain, and the man glared at her with his attention: "Say! What the hell do you want to do! ”

Qian Ye was a little twisted, glanced at the man timidly, and said, "Uncle, the slap marks on your face are really symmetrical!" "One at a time, it's really too abstract.

The corners of the man's mouth twitched, and his handsome face was slightly red. I thought it was a strange child who saw that he was beaten by his wife, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Uncle, do you want to take me in? I have the strength to carry water for you and do housework for you. I don't know how to cook, but I'll definitely learn well. Uncle don't sell me, I haven't found my father and mother yet, and I don't want to stay in Yoshiwara for the rest of my life......"

"Poor boy!" A man rushed out of the door, and it was the woman who had just slammed the door in. "You're suffering! Don't worry, you will be my child in the future, and I will not let anyone bully you! Listen, I, Miko Sakata, will be your mother from now on! Good boy, you must be hungry. Come, I'll cook for you. ”

Qian Ye was stunned and was led into the door by the woman before returning to his senses. "Auntie, why are you ......?"

The woman had been secretly listening to their conversation behind the door, and she couldn't help blushing a little at the moment. "You wait obediently, I'll cook." With that, he hurriedly ran into the kitchen.

Qian Ye stood in place, looking at the closed door, puzzled and speechless.

"Miko, open the door! Let me in! My stomach is hungry, and your husband is going to starve to death! ”

A loud roar came from the kitchen: "Get out of the way for the old lady!" Starved to death and deserved it! ”

The ...... man was silent.

Qian Ye smacked her tongue quietly, this aunt is really ...... Tough! Sure enough, no one should be disgraced. Such a weak appearance, but with extremely high combat effectiveness!

So, Qianye officially settled here. It also completely ended, the life of displacement that she had foreseen, and had not yet begun.

The man's name is Tani Toru Sakata and the woman's name is Miko Sakata, and they are a husband and wife who have lived in seclusion here for so many years. And what made Qianye even more curious was that Sakata Tanicho was already thirty-three years old, but he still looked like he was in his early twenties.

On this day, Tani Che Sakata suddenly said, "Ah Ye, I think you are very suitable for learning kendo, I don't know what you think?" ”

Here, Qianye has been careful to hide her gender. She has already had an experience that makes her deeply remember that in this world, the only person she can trust is yourself. Looking at the man's expectant gaze, she said in a deep voice: "Teacher, the apprentice is willing to learn kendo with you!" ”

Sakata Tani Che smiled loudly: "Okay, you will be my Sakata Tani Che's apprentice in the future!" ”

At this point, Chiye became the first land of Tani Che Sakata, and started his new life in this strange land.

……

It's spring again, and the weather is fine and windless.

However, on this mountain road, there is a child in plain clothes walking briskly. It's not so much a walk as a trot. The straw sandals stepped on the stones under their feet, and walked with the wind, and their clothes fluttered, and even the dew on the side of the road could not bear to stain the clean robes, disturbing the hurried pace.

Suddenly, the child's footsteps paused, his phoenix eyes squinted into the grass, and his fingers pressed the bamboo knife on his waist. "Who's there!" With a cold snort, as long as there was any movement, the bamboo knife suddenly came out of its sheath.

"I'm sorry...... something moved in the grass, followed by a small voice. Immediately after, a small round head emerged from the grass, and big eyes stared straight at her.

In an instant, Qian Ye withdrew the finger on the bamboo knife, because it was just a child, and there was no malice in him. "What are you doing here?" She said. The tone is still cold, not enthusiastic.

But the little boy ran out in surprise, and looked up at the 'big brother', who was already much taller. "Big brother, do you know where to go to Kyoto?"

Kyoto? Qianye frowned, "This is Edo, the distance from Kyoto...... Far away. I don't know if he can understand this distance for a three- or four-year-old child.

"But......" said the child, clutching his stomach and frowning, "I'm hungry." ”

Qian Ye sneered, turned around and was about to leave. Whether the boy was hungry or thirsty had nothing to do with her, and she had no extra sympathy to keep on him.

"Big brother ......" a small hand timidly grabbed her sleeve, and the child's unique dark eyes looked at her without blinking, "Little one is hungry." ”

Qian Ye didn't pay attention to it, just glanced at him indifferently, then reached out and brushed his fingers away, and continued to walk forward.

"Big brother ......" shouted unrelentingly behind him, but Qianye turned a deaf ear.

The cherry blossoms on the side of the road were already in full bloom, and it was time to enjoy the flowers, but she was appreciating them. She had to hurry back to the top of the mountain, for her wife was still waiting for her.
