【Grave of the Fireflies】Chapter 12 Yuo Sakai Watching from the Sidelines
"Then be careful, goodbye Setsuko......" The aunt looked at the backs of the two of them pulling the cart away, and finally said softly before parting, perhaps she also realized her usual indifference to them.
The aunt, who turned around and was about to go back to the house, heard the crisp smile of Setsuko when she left, and she didn't stop walking, turned around, looked at their backs again, and sighed softly.
"Hey......"
In this era, it's not easy for every family. Qingtai and Setsuko are of course miserable, but the aunt's family is also not happy, aunt's nagging is not a kind of helpless venting for life, very bad is that the Qingtai brothers and sisters have become a punching bag, just like ordinary people in their childhood, parents will occasionally be idle and have nothing to do to beat the child, what is the reason? It's not sensible! But how do children understand what it means to be sensible? Refute the same contradiction.
It's been five days, Qingta and Setsuko have moved to the air-raid shelter for five days, during the day Qingta takes Setsuko to play, and at night, Qingta will also take Setsuko to the grass outside the air-raid belt to catch fireflies, in the dark air-raid shelter, Qingta catches fireflies into the mosquito net, wow, hundreds of fireflies flying all over the sky, flickering in the sultry night of summer, flashing and extinguishing.
It seems to be so beautiful, but Kiyota doesn't know that he is not catching fireflies, but souls one after another, in the summer mosquito net, in the air-raid shelter, Kiyota and Setsuko slept over.
Silky, hiss...... As they slept, one firefly after another died under the mosquito net, and wisps of shadow appeared in the darkness and attacked the siblings. A little bit of yang energy is swallowed by these dark ghosts, which is devouring their qi......
By the sea, Yu Sakai and his grandmother were walking. Grandma's illness is cured, Sakai's face is ruddy, and these days, since selling his loyalty to his master, his grandmother is sick and healthy, and Sakai Yu's face is even more luddy. Yes, it was a rice grain shop opened by Higashijima Sono on the surface, and Sakai Yu worked as a helper in it.
Five or six days down. Sakai Xiong and his grandmother were able to eat enough every day, and they also changed into new clothes, and Higashijima Sono also arranged a place for Sakai to live, today. It was the day when Yuo Sakai took his grandmother back to the bomb shelter to clean up the salute.
While passing by a bomb shelter. Yuki Sakai is seeing a group of mischievous kids flipping something there.
"Oh, there are people living in this kind of place."
"It's a homeless man."
"I wonder if there's a terrible weird uncle coming out."
"Ah, there's a swing out there, and there's a kid here."
"You see what I found, there's a frog here."
"It's disgusting, this kind of thing is eaten by people."
A group of bear children rummaged through it, but found nothing, and ran away with a grin. But at this time, Sakai Yu, who was passing by, stopped with a frown.
Because he felt a breath of death, as well as yin. He closed his eyes and sensed this bomb shelter, after Sakai Yu signed a contract with his master, he awakened the extraordinary power, he could sense it, what did he sense?
Ah, a teenager, and a little girl who is riddled with death, yin and sickness.
"There's an unfashionable demon here, eyeing here." Sakai made up his mind.
"Xiaoxiong, let's go, we're in front of us in the temporary bomb shelter, there are some things there that can still be used, but you can't throw them away just because you have a job." Grandma interjected and interrupted Sakai's thoughts.
"Got it, Grandma."
Sakai helped his grandmother away, and before leaving, he looked back again at the bomb shelter, knowing that he would come again.
It was another sweltering night, and Setsuko was crouching in front of the bomb shelter, and she was crying.
"Woo...... Whining...... Brother, I have a stomachache, woo...... Whining...... Brother, come back soon, woo...... Brother, Setsuko has a stomachache. ”
Setsuko's stomach has been hurting for the past two days, Qingta went to the nearby farmland to steal sugarcane, and wanted to boil sugarcane juice for his sister Setsuko to drink, but was discovered by the farmer, and after a chase and beating, Qingtai fled back to the air-raid shelter, and the farmer found the sweet potatoes in the air-raid shelter, and immediately knew that this guy had stolen it recently, and he was angry and arrested Qingtai into the police station.
So, Setsuko was left alone crying.
And Yuo Sakai watched all this from the sidelines.
"Is this a holy one?"
"But how can stealing be holy?"
"But for the sake of my sister, it's not a crime......" Sakai Yu contradicted, the master's pawnshop will only accept pawns from the wicked and the holy, but what about this young man?
Sakai Yu decided to observe again, and when he left again, he glanced at the 4-year-old Setsuko, dead, yin, sickly, pestering her.
He stretched out his hand and pointed, and a black light hit Setsuko's back, ah, a ghost with a seven-point resemblance to Setsuko was scattered by the black light, letting out a terrible howl, and his soul was scattered.
When I look at the knots again, the yin qi on her body has dissipated, and the dead qi has also been reduced by more than half, but it still exists, that is because the sick qi still exists, she has not eaten well for a long time, and the knots who have no nutrition are very weak, and she often eats dried frogs, insects, and there are no oil and salt and other things, so that the knots are sick, and the whole body is full of eczema and prickly heat, as well as the lesions of the internal organs, and often diarrhea.
Her illness is getting worse and worse, and her death is gradually growing, and Sakai Yu knows that this little girl may be going to die soon.
……
Whoosh ...... The sound of breaking the air once again enveloped the city, and another air raid came, people carried their belongings and children to the nearby air-raid shelters, but Kiyota excitedly carried empty bags and went to these empty houses.
Seita made up his mind, and when he came by air raid, he risked his life and returned with food, clothes, and large bags of things in the empty rooms where these people had gone.
Qing Tai returned safely, with an excited smile on his face, a long laugh, he was laughing comfortably, I don't know why he laughed comfortably, maybe it was the joy of stealing, maybe it was the release of long-suppressed suppression, maybe it was the pleasure of revenge on adults, maybe...... There's a lot of maybe.
Kiyota thought that no one would find out, but he didn't know that behind him, Yuo Sakai had been watching him, looking at him complicatedly.
"Holiness vs. Sin? ……”
When Setsuko fainted in the grass, Seita realized the seriousness of the matter, and he took his sister Setsuko to the hospital with the only money he had.
"This is weakness caused by malnutrition, diarrhea is also because of this, okay, the next ......" The doctor's expression changed slightly, this child is already terminally ill, most of his vitality has been lost, and his internal organs are diseased, and now under such conditions, she can't live long, so in the end, he can't bear to tell Qing Tai the truth. (To be continued.) )
