Ah Guo walked up to the two old men and stared at them with a smile, and they also smiled at Ah Guo.

Their smiles are just like the sun, bright, beautiful and brilliant.

The two old men clasped hands, the smiles on their faces were kind and fragile, "Why didn't you leave here?" ”

Ah Guo smiled bitterly, she also wanted to ask this sentence.

"The rest of the people here are like us, not because they don't want to go, but because they can't walk at all."

"What's going on here? Why is everyone leaving? ”

The old man smiled, but there was a look of sadness and pain in every wrinkle, "This place is about to ......." ”

As he spoke, the old and withered wrinkles on his cheeks twitched slightly, and tears flew out of his eyes.

Ah Guo squatted down lightly and said softly, "Grandma, you speak slowly." ”

The old man struggled to control his trembling body, and tried to say one sentence, two words, "Slaughter the city." ”

Ah Guo's face changed, "Slaughter the city? ”

The old man stopped talking, but kept nodding.

Their sadness is as bleak and desolate as the dying sun, making it impossible to face the sorrow and pain inside.

The old man on the side smiled, he smiled and gently wiped her tears, his hands were obviously shriveled, ugly and shaky, but every movement he made made could make the other party happy, joyful and satisfied.

They finally hugged each other again, facing the remnant sun and their lives.

Ah Guo slowly retreated and closed the door, but her heart tingled faintly.

This stinging pain, like a sharp needle, pierced straight into her chest, and she couldn't control it anymore when she walked out, and tears suddenly fell like rain.

She kept crying and threw herself into the chest of Wusheng.

"Are you crying?"

Ah Guo nodded.

She cried not because she was about to slaughter the city, nor for the desolation of the old man, but for herself, she was a woman, she would grow old sooner or later, and when she was old, she would become unaccompanied by no one by her side, that kind of pain and sorrow, wouldn't it be a kind of torture? Isn't it an experience you can't face?

So she cried for herself, not for others.

"Do you know why they didn't leave?"

Ah Guo nodded.

Wusheng sighed, she hugged Ah Guo, and walked slowly on the long street, the teahouse was quiet, and the sauce yellow flag twisted gently in the evening breeze, like a dying old man, miserable and weird.

A half-moon in the east hangs high and without stars.

Ah Guo wiped the tears from his cheeks and smiled, "Why don't you have any friends?" ”

Silent without life.

He was reluctant to face the question, which many people had thought about and asked him, and he never answered.

"Am I okay to be your woman?"

Silent without life.

"I can do everything, cooking, laundry, farm work, taking care of the children, I can do everything." Ah Guo's heart is already bitter, bitter and sour.

Silent without life.

Ah Guo was silent.

Her mind seemed to have flown into the distance, a place far away, an old and haggard woman, leaning alone in the corner and enduring the torment of loneliness and loneliness.

This kind of fate may be fate, but she doesn't dare, and she doesn't want to face such a fate.

Wusheng suddenly stopped like a stone statue, sighed softly, and put her down, "Everyone has their own fate, what fate is, what it is, we can't resist, we can only endure it." ”

"You know what's on my mind?"

Wusheng nodded.

"I'm really scared that I'll ...... in the future."

Wusheng nodded, "Will you die alone in the future, lonely?" ”

Ah Guo's eyes flashed and he nodded.

Wusheng sighed, and he took Wusheng's hand and walked towards the only place on the street where there was light.

This is a noodle shop.

Several people sat cross-legged inside, their eyes closed, holding a sword in their arms, a sword unsheathed.

The noodles in the bowl were cold, and the chopsticks were leaning on the side, and each of them didn't look at it, and everyone seemed preoccupied.

The boss was a middle-aged woman, huddled in the kitchen and stared out blankly, watching the night fall and gradually darken.

There seemed to be an indescribable shadow of fear in her heart.

The lifeless stone statue walked in, motionless like a stone statue, staring and poking at the people.

The woman walked over with a smile, bowed and said, "What do you want to eat?" ”

Ah Guo smiled, "Noodles, any noodles are the same." ”

After waiting for a short time, she brought out two large bowls of hot noodles and placed them on the low table, the soft noodles with a few slices of meat and a few slices of cabbage,......。

She stared at Ah Guo with a smile and said softly, "My name is Yakumo again, and I am the boss here, please take care of me and enjoy it slowly." ”

Ah Guo nodded and smiled.

The chives, which float on the soup water, seem to be a lonely boat, swimming freely in the river, capturing the scenery of the mountains.

Yakumo stared at Ah Guo with a smile, "Your man is really strong, you must be very happy." ”

She said very softly and slowly, Ah Guo suddenly laughed loudly, she smiled and stared at the perennial rock-like cheeks, "She is not my man. ”

Yakumo looked Wusheng up and down, "Then he must be your lover?" Don't be embarrassed, we're all women, it's not a big deal. ”

Ah Guo smiled and shook his head, "I am her creditor." ”

"Creditor?" Yakumo's smile changed.

She apparently doesn't think so, apparently thinking that they are lovers in love.

"Yes, she owes me something, so I'm going to keep following him."

Yakumo smiled again, "What do you owe you?" Is it money? ”

Ah Guo shook his head, "He owes me two wishes, so I have to keep following him." ”

Yakumo had already narrowed his eyes, but the smile lines on his cheeks were deeper and longer, "What do you wish for?" ”

Ah Guo gritted his teeth lightly, "I haven't thought of it yet, I'll tell him when I think of it." ”

Yakumo nodded and smiled.

She was no longer a young girl, and she had experienced strange emotions, and she did not find it strange about this, because she had also wanted to use this method to bind her lover's heart.

This method of winning men, and she has used it alone, has it before, and it will be very popular now, and it will never be lost in the future.

Ah Guo smiled and said, "I originally went to ask for help from the gods, but I inadvertently kowtowed to him three times, so I had three wishes. ”

Yakumo blinked, and the smile on his cheeks turned into surprise, "Could it be that he has already fulfilled a wish for you?" ”

Ah Guo nodded.

"What is your wish?" Yakumo stared at Ah Guo in surprise, she didn't believe it was true.

If it is said that it is to stay with the man for a long time in this way, Yakumo will definitely believe it, and if it is said to be three wishes, it is a little unbelievable, and this statement can only coax the child to sleep in the night.

"It's the days of getting rid of the boss, getting rid of that kind of flower street,......。" As he spoke, Ah Guo became painful and sad.

Yakumo blinked again and looked at Wusheng.

Looking at Wusheng's appearance, it seems that he is a person who practices martial arts, but when dealing with the scoundrels on Flower Street, it may not be the same thing.

She said gloomily, "You're free now, aren't you doing well?" ”

Ah Guo nodded.

Yakumo smiled and stared at the pitch-black gun in Wusheng's hand, "His skills look great." ”

Ah Guo nodded, the pain and sadness gradually subsided, and indescribable admiration and respect floated on his face, "His skills are very good." ”

"He knocked your boss down?"

"Yes."

Yakumo smiled and sighed again, she gradually came to believe that this was true, "Can he really help others make their wishes come true?" ”

Ah Guo nodded.

"Can he also help me make my wish come true?"

Ah Guo was silent.

Her gaze had fallen on the lifeless body, and she smiled triumphantly and cheerfully.

Yakumo suddenly walked in front of Wusheng and suddenly knelt down, but her knees had not yet touched the ground, Wusheng had already helped her up, and her empty eyes stared at Yakumo again, but she did not speak.

"I know who you are."

"Who am I?"

"You must be a spear god?" The smile on Yakumo's cheeks became excited and excited.

Silent without life.

"I've heard that there is a gun god near Kita-Shinano, who only wears a cloak on his upper body and holds a pole gun in his hand, and I must not be mistaken."

Silent without life.

Ah Guo gently helped her up, "Do you have something unspeakable?" You name it, and we might be able to help you. ”

Yakumo looked at a few people sitting and sighed, "We were originally Ashikaga Yoshiteru's retainers, but now we have been kicked out. ”

Ah Guo was surprised, "Why?" ”

She didn't believe it was true, because now in Kyoto, when there was a need for manpower, he would never drive out every retainer.

"Because General Ashikaga Yoshiteru is very kind, he kicked us out."

Ah Guo understood.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru didn't want his retainers to die in the city with him, so he drove them all away, and there were too few such good lords.

She sighed deeply, "Then don't there be any retainers around him anymore?" ”

Yakumo nodded, "Yes, there will never be a retainer by his side, only his wife." ”

When he talked about his wife, there was a look of envy on Yakumo's cheeks, which was indeed worthy of her envy, because she was also a lonely person.

Ah Guo gently held him up, "What do you want the spear god to do?" ”

Yakumo gritted his teeth tightly, "I hope the spear god will take us in." ”

Ah Guo looked at Wusheng.

Silent without life.

He seemed to have agreed, and then he didn't.

His eyes were still in the moonlit and windy night, and his empty eyes were staring at every bluestone on the street.

Ah Guo nodded reluctantly, "I will promise you." ”

Yakumo looked at Wusheng again, "But the spear god didn't agree, and we still haven't had a chance to meet General Ashikaga Yoshiteru." ”

Ah Guo smiled, "Don't worry, he has agreed." ”

Yakumo's face showed joy, "Really agreed?" ”

Ah Guo nodded, "It's true." ”

Yakumo suddenly looked at a few people who were sitting dullly, "You all heard it, the spear god promised us to pray, you don't have to hang your head down, why don't you hurry up and eat?" ”

The men suddenly put down the sword in their arms, and suddenly began to eat heavily.

They didn't say a word, nor did they look at Wusheng, let alone Ah Guo.

Yakumo stared at them with a smile, unable to say a word for a long time.

Ah Guo didn't speak, and slowly ate the noodles in the bowl.

Wusheng didn't eat, he walked out like a stone statue, standing tall in the night, staring and poking at the bright and bright half moon.

Yakumo blinked, "Why doesn't he eat some?" ”

Ah Guo smiled, "The spear god is a strange person, and I can't see through it." ”

Yakumo nodded again.

She walked out softly and leaned lightly against the side of Wusheng, "Why don't you eat a little?" ”

Silent without life.

"My noodle restaurant is very famous, and even General Ashikaga Yoshiteru has come to eat it."

"He said it was delicious?"

Yakumo smiled and nodded in acknowledgement, "He wants me to open more stores like this." ”

"Oh."

"You really should try my handiwork, it's really good." She ran in with a smile and brought out the bowl of hot noodles and brought it to Wusheng.

Her expression was sincere and respectful.

"If you eat it, you'll love it."

Ah Guo drank the last soup and walked out with a smile, "This is indeed a delicious noodle." ”

Wusheng nodded.

"Why don't you eat a little and go?"

"I came here to meet the swordsman Ashikaga Yoshiteru, not to eat noodles."

Ah Guo smiled bitterly.

Yakumo turned around again, and saw the shadows of those people clinging to him.

She smiled, "Why don't you hurry up and thank the Spear God for the introduction?" ”

These people suddenly fell to Wusheng like shadows, kneeling on their knees, "The grace of the spear god, let me repay it later." ”

Wusheng nodded, "You don't have to thank me for anything. ”

The men slowly stood up, no longer speaking, and clinged to their backs like shadows, their hands gripping the hilts of their knives tightly.

Ah Guo chewed the meaning of these words carefully, but his hand was grabbed without life, and he walked forward like a stone statue.

In front of him is the most beautiful and majestic building in Kyoto.

The leaves rustled on both sides, and the cold moonlight shone on them, making it look eerie and evil.

Suddenly a sentence appeared in the night, low, hoarse, and cold.

"Stop."

Wusheng suddenly stopped, standing there like a stone statue, neither asking who or what was the matter.

Ah Guo suddenly grabbed the cloak and held it tightly.

A pair of eyes looked everywhere, there was no figure on all sides, only voice, short, direct and simple, without a little more effort, and no less effort.

"I've stopped."

He stopped, and the others behind him had already stopped, and Yakumo's eyes stared coldly at the ridge of the roof.

The shadow-like figure behind him clutched the hilt of the sword, and the shadow-like clinging to Yakumo.

"Good."

Still no one showed up, only voices.

"What does it mean to be good?"

"Very good means that you are very obedient and will definitely live a long time, my knife will never kill people who cherish life, so you can continue to live."

Silent without life.

"If you want to live comfortably, turn around immediately and walk back, I will never kill you."

"Why should I go back?"

"Because you're alive now and want to live well, you must not take a step forward."

"What happens if I take a step?"

"Your Excellency's life was immediately reimbursed, and he died a miserable death."

"How miserable?"

The man in the night was silent for a while, and then he said, "Do you see the tree?" ”

There is an ancient tree not far away, tall and stout, no matter who looks at it, you can see that this is an old tree with deep roots and thick leaves, and it is difficult for old trees to fall.

Ah Guo looked at this old tree blankly, she didn't believe that such an old tree would change.

She was wrong, the old tree had changed.

The old tree suddenly fell, broke into seventeen or eighteen sections, and fell to the earth.

"How is it, do you see the fate of this tree clearly?"

"Yes, I've seen it clearly." His empty eyes did not change at all, staring and poking ahead, as if he had not seen the fallen old tree.

"And you want to go one step further?"

Silent without life.

He walked forward like a stone statue and did not stop.

Ah Guo already felt his body cold, stiff, and short of breath, "This person is ...... there." ”

Before she could say her words, she saw several cold stars in front of her hitting here.

There is no one in front of him, and the cold star is mysterious and terrifying, so it is difficult to die like this.

At this moment, Ah Guo saw Wusheng holding the cloak in his hand, and suddenly floated, and the cold star "dingding......ding" landed.

The cold star and the killing machine disappeared alive in an instant.

"Are you a spear god without life?"

"Yes."

"You've been famous lately."

"Maybe."

"But you shouldn't have come here, this is about to slaughter the city, you better leave quickly."

"Why should I go?"

"You want to see General Jianhao?" There was already a cold, mocking voice in the night.

"Yes."

"You're going to duel him? And then want to kill him? ”

"Yes."

"He won't duel you, because you ......."

In a flash of the sword, a figure suddenly fell to the ground softly, no longer moving, a pair of eyes staring straight ahead, and his expression became indescribably painful, surprised, and disbelieving.

One hand was full of triangular darts, and none of them flew out.

A person suddenly fell, the blood on the tip of the knife was still dripping blood, and with a "ding" sound, it suddenly entered the sheath, and the shadow clinged to the back.

Yakumo smiled again, "Don't blame the spear god, the retainers are also forced to do so." ”

Silent without life.

Ah Guo stared at the shadow-like person behind him in surprise, "Why are they so good?" ”

Yakumo nodded with a smile, "They are all retainers of the sword hero, and it is difficult to think of something bad." ”

Ah Guo nodded in acknowledgement.

How could General Jianhao's retainers not have two hits, isn't this very unreasonable.

"They are all the personal guards of the sword general, so their skills are much better than ordinary people."

"They don't usually speak?"

"Yes, they are not alive to speak, but to protect the safety of Jian Hao."

Ah Guo barely squeezed out a smile, looking at these few people who didn't look like people, and secretly pity and sympathize in his heart.

Yakumo sighed and stared at Ah Guo, "So they are very pitiful, and now they are all anxious to see Jian Hao, but they dare not go." ”

"Why?"

"Because General Jianhao has issued a warrant, he has expelled them from the Sword Pavilion, and they will never be seen."

"They can also not leave, and force each other to die, isn't this method very effective?"

"Yes, it works, but it's already worked."

"Doesn't work?"

"Yes." Yakumo stretched out his hand, and a short knife suddenly appeared in his palm, "Because this is how General Jianhao forced them away." ”
