Chapter 19: Ready to Begin

readx; After more than a week of traveling with Lan Lan, Kujo Takeyu finally arrived at the port of Shanghai, which was occupied by the Japanese army, and three days later boarded the ship, and after sailing at sea for dozens of hours, anchored at the Sasebo Naval Harbor, and a few days later, they changed ships and set off again to their final destination, Kanagawa. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On the morning of July 6, 1942, a military transport ship loaded with supplies and wounded slowly sailed into Tokyo Bay and docked at the dock of Yokosuka Naval Base.

As soon as the ship dropped anchor, the crowd on the shore began to boil, wave after wave, and then a gangway slowly landed, and everyone quickly gave way to a passage, while keeping an eye on everyone walking down and down the deck.

Lan Lan also followed behind Kujou Bamboo Rain and walked down the steps with the other wounded officers.

“……”

“…… Bamboo Rain-kun! ”

"Zhuyu-kun! Bamboo Rain-kun! ”

A shout came from behind him, and Kujo Zhuyu turned around and saw a young woman in a beige dress struggling to squeeze out of the crowd and run towards him.

"Why are you here...... Before Kujou Takeyu finished speaking, the woman threw herself directly into his arms.

"......" The woman kept hugging him tightly and didn't speak for a long time.

"What's wrong? Sunflower? Kujou Takeyu wanted to hold her face, but the other party refused, and instead buried his face deeper.

"You know what? How worried I have been about you every day these months! Aoi's voice reached Kujo Takeyu's ears through her clothes.

Kujou Takeyu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

“…… I'm not back. ”

"But ......"

"Alright, alright." Nine bamboo rain patted her back and comforted her softly.

"I promise you, I will never participate in this war again."

“……”

"I'll be with you all the time."

“…… Are you telling the truth? Aoi raised his head suddenly, looking at her husband, his eyes were full of begging, for fear that the other party would change his attention in the next second.

Kujou Takeyu smiled, touched Aoi's head, and replied with a smile.

"Of course it's true."

At this time, a boy of five or six years old pulled an old woman out of the crowd, looked around, and finally landed on the two people who were hugging each other.

"Daddy!" The boy shouted excitedly and ran towards his parents.

Kujou Takeyu immediately squatted down, picked up the boy high, and kissed him on the cheek happily. The old lady also walked over, bowed to the nine bamboo rains, and respectfully shouted the young master, and the nine bamboo rains immediately nodded in return when they saw this.

"I heard from everyone that my father came home because he was injured."

"Does it still hurt?" The boy's tone looked a little distressed.

Jiujo Zhuyu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile.

"Thank you Kenichi for your concern, my injuries have healed." He touched Jianyi's head and continued to explain: "But I still have to go to the military headquarters, so I won't be able to go home until late today." ”

"That's right......" Kenichi had a regretful look on his face. So dad is coming back sooner, huh? ”

"Well, I must." Jiujo Zhuyu put down Kenyi, who was hugging, and turned around and waved to Lan Lan.

Seeing the nine bamboo rains beckoning her to come over, Lan Lan looked a little timid, holding her right hand holding the placket with her left hand, and walked cautiously towards everyone with her head down.

"What is this?" Aoi showed a puzzled expression, she didn't expect that the girl who had been hiding from a distance to watch everyone was actually someone her husband knew. At this time, Lan Lan's eyes were still on the ground, and she never dared to raise her head or squeak.

Suddenly, nine bamboo rains came around Lan Lan's back, put his hands on her shoulders, and said solemnly to everyone.

"Let me introduce to you, this child is an orphan I picked up in China, named Lan Lan." Kujou Takeyu paused and continued.

"I'm going to adopt her."

……

……

Xue Yi slept very comfortably this night, so when she was woken up, she was a little reluctant.

"Help her down." The middle-aged man's voice came from outside the car.

Immediately after, Xue Yi felt her arms held up and lifted her out of the car directly.

The sun shone on Xue Yi's side face, making her feel a little warm, and she wanted to reach out and rub her eyes, but her arms couldn't use a little strength, and she looked up and looked around, and found that the vehicle was parked on the road in the woods, with mountains on both sides, and there seemed to be a lake in the distance.

"Where am I?"

"Bang" came the sound of the car door closing.

Mu Xin walked over to Xue Yi and gave her another injection.

"Butterfly Mountain."

“!” Xue Yi's eyes widened and she looked at Mu Xin in surprise. "We're in Tianjin?"

"......" Mu Xin just glanced at Xue Yi meaningfully, and continued to walk forward, and the two people who carried Xue Yi also followed and went into the jungle together.

"It's still afternoon, right? Did we fly here? ”

"No, you slept all day." Mu Xin turned his head and squinted his eyes and smiled at Xue Yi.

At this time, Xue Yicai noticed that Mu Xin's clothes had changed, no longer the bus conductor's clothes, but wearing a black leaky vest and a pair of denim shorts that seemed to be sturdy, of course, she might have been wearing it in her uniform. However, this overturned Xue Yi's original conjecture, this woman named Mu Xin is neither a vampire nor a werewolf, so what is she? Why is there such an astonishing rate of regeneration? It's just like a monster......

Mu Xin, who felt Xue Yi's gaze, turned his head and asked Xue Yi who was looking at him in a daze, "What's wrong?" ”

"I'm a little sleepy, how long do I have to walk?"

"It's a few minutes, you can sleep first if you're sleepy, it's okay."

"Really...... Then I'll hold on a little longer. Xue Yi grinned, "I want to see your smooth back again." ”

“……”

Just as Muxin said, a few minutes later, they arrived at their destination.

It was a small clearing next to the top of the hill, and a few stumps were still in place, and judging from the section and the bark around it, it seemed that the felling time was not too long, just a few days later. The center of the clearing was cleaned, there was not a single gravel or fallen leaf, and there was a circle of boulders around the clearing, and Xue Yi could vaguely see that some kind of totem seemed to be carved on the moss-covered rock and soil, but unfortunately she knew very little about it, and could not recognize what it was drawing.

Beside these boulders stood a multitude of people, dressed in different ways, most of them plainly dressed like ordinary people, except for a small number of people, dressed in wide dark hooded robes, which covered their entire faces. A few people who had come with Xueyi stopped outside the clearing and stood with the people around them. Only Xueyi was carried into the circle and placed in the center of the clearing.

This move attracted the attention of everyone present, and everyone looked at Xue Yi lying on the ground, revealing an excited expression.

……

Is this what it's like to be watched...... It's uncomfortable......

Just as Xue Yi felt ashamed, a familiar word came to her ears.

"Mother, we're ready......" the middle-aged man said respectfully, his tone trembling slightly.
