"The big earthquake five years ago is really related to Jinghai Shenyue's mother? Did she really trigger it? Jiang Yuanshen asked.

Asakura Masamune's rugged eyebrows shrugged weakly, and his face finally began to be embarrassed.

"Before Xun Yu became a young girl, there were young puppet queens on the island, but it is said that they never left the island, and these people were born on Zhitori Island and died on Zhitori Island."

Jiang Yuan carefully understood the deep meaning of his words, that is to say, the major earthquake was the first time, and it could not be determined that this was the price of the queen's departure from the island.

"Do you," said Asakura Masamune, a little confused, "and want to take the deep moon out of the island in the quiet sea?" ”

"This can't be done?" Jiang Yuan asked rhetorically.

For some reason, I could feel that the atmosphere had become a little tense, and Asakura Masamune's face tightened.

"Jiang Yuan, aren't you afraid that I will talk to others about this? Are you so relieved of me? He stared at Jiang Yuanshen with serious eyes.

Jiang Yuanshen clasped his hands together, his eyes peeking at the small pitch-black nothingness between his palms.

"I just feel like you and I have been pulled into something to have a conversation. Anyway, I think we can talk. ”

Obviously, there was a big living person in front of him, but Jiang Yuanshen did not have a sense of crisis that might be attacked.

Perhaps, maybe the man in front of him has lived in the shadow of the young girl all his life.

"Feel ——?" This unexpected remark made Asakura Masamune a little overwhelmed, "I don't believe in anything spiritual and spiritual. ”

He didn't smile.

"Believe it or not, but weren't you involved in the end?"

Jiang Yuan paused for a moment, and finally said with a bit of joking,

"Do you think that Jinghai Shenyue will give up and leave Zhitori Island? What's more, you can rest assured to see the queen's child at night? ”

Asakura Masamune's pupils were dyed with a bit of depth, and the blood-red sunset pouring in from the window slowly eroded away his legs.

For him, Jinghai Shenyue is the daughter of Xun Yu at night, no matter what, he will always have the idea of wanting to protect.

He sat on the sofa and was silent for a long time, and only after the sunset climbed to his abdomen did the middle-aged man in front of him speak:

"I had actually taken him out of Chitori Island, and we were even close to Niigata Port."

"What?" Jiang Yuanshen's brain immediately shut down.

"A short time after we left the island, a major earthquake struck, and years of fishing experience told me that it was not safe to return to the port at this time, so I took the plunge and drove to Niigata Port."

"But Xun Yu suddenly demanded to go back, saying that as long as she went back, the earthquake would disappear, but at that time, I saw my fate."

"Fate?"

"That may be the only fate I can interfere with in my life, and although I am in control of the ship, I can feel that the rudder in my hand is like a splitter on the tram tracks, and it is perfectly fine to change the direction of the tram if I want."

A vicious chill swept through Jiang Yuanshen's body, and every pore couldn't help but shrink.

Asakura Masamune opened his mouth slightly, it was obviously a little pitch black, but the rippling sunset could also be swallowed by it.

"As long as I keep moving forward, I can save Xun Yu, get rid of the title of queen and take her to live far away, I am determined to do this, so I sail faster."

Jiang Yuan swallowed his saliva, and his head seemed to be pierced by a bullet.

"But. . . At that time, they were still on the island. There are many others."

The shouts and deaths brought about by the earthquake revived in his mind again, and the scenes flickered and darkened, making Jiang Yuanshen couldn't help but tremble, his heart beat faster, and his mood was like raindrops, falling straight down.

I am not a brave and fearless person, and I don't want to experience fear again, let alone see someone die.

But I couldn't do anything at that time, I was desperate to the extreme, and my heart turned completely cold gray.

If, as Queen Yami said, the earthquake will disappear as soon as she returns to the island, and the number of victims may decrease.

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Jiang Yuanshen's soft sensibility was completely distorted in front of the so-called fate in his mouth.

Asakura Masamune lowered his head, and his side face dyed with the afterglow of the twilight looked solemn:

"Xun Yu almost knelt down and begged me to go back, but I didn't think she was firm enough, so I took her away, and then the earthquake got bigger and bigger, and I had to stop the boat for safety."

"At that time, there was a tsunami around Chitori Island, and we could even hear the sound of the collapse of the mountain for a long time.

Listening to what he kept saying, Jiang Yuanshen looked down at his crossed hands, and finally raised his head, his whole body was a little hot:

"You brought her back after the earthquake, and she jumped into Lake Kamo?"

"Yes, the situation on the island was terrible at that time, and it is no longer possible to recover from our apologies alone."

In the depths of the empty heart, suddenly began to boil violently a little bit.

What Jiang Yuanshen said next, even he felt incredible, and when he came to his senses, he was already stunned.

"In that case, why don't you die with you?"

Hearing the disgust and pain mixed with Jiang Yuanshen's words, Asakura Masamune was surprised, but soon he showed a self-deprecating smile and said as a matter of course:

"I'm sorry Jiang Yuan, I didn't have the courage to jump off Lake Kamo, not to mention that I just want to make up for shaking apricots now."

Jiang Yuanshen's mood was like the leaves swaying outside the window, and Asakura Masamune's words made him feel resistant to even imagination, and fell into a feeling as if reality was distorted by space.

Asakura Masamune exhaled heavily and sat up from the couch, and could hear the couch collapsing again, almost mournful.

"Jiang Yuan, if you are bent on taking Jinghai Shenyue out of the island, I suggest that you don't want me to repeat the mistakes of the past, and you must ensure the safety of the islanders in advance."

“.”

"Also, can you guarantee that after Shenyue leaves, if she witnesses the changes in Zhitori Island, she will not change her mind and come back?"

"It's none of your business anymore."

Jiang Yuanshen's voice was trembling, but Asakura Masamune's deep voice still hadn't changed.

"Okay, but if you need me, I'll help you."

Asakura Masamune's expression was very hurt, he dragged his heavy steps towards the gate, pressed the doorknob and turned his head to look at Jiang Yuanshen.

"Do you need me to bring some fish?"

"Eat it yourself."

I'm sorry."

A "click" sounded as if the switch on Jiang Yuanshen's tear glands had been turned on.

The fact that he knew that the earthquake might be stopped at that time tormented him to death.

Before I knew it, it was pouring rain outside, and the raindrops were falling on the windows.

Jiang Yuanshen stared at the sliding water droplets for a while, and finally went back to his room to sleep.

Asakura Masamune's expression appeared in the darkness in his heart, and it did not dissipate for a long time.

I kept tossing and turning, and I didn't close my eyes until dawn, but fortunately it was a holiday.

◇

The next morning, Jiang Yuanshen's body finally regained its silhouette.

He looked at his phone, it was half past seven on a Saturday morning, and if he waited another ten minutes, the alarm would go off.

As if nothing had happened, I made toast in the kitchen, and the filling was mayonnaise.

Sitting at the dining table, not long after eating, someone sent a message.

It is the deep moon of the still sea.

"If you wake up and see this message, come to the secret base to find me."

Jiang Yuan carefully chewed the bread in his mouth mechanically:

"You're here?"

Silent Sea Deep Moon: "Are you awake?"

Jiang Yuanshen: "Shouldn't I wake up?"

Jinghai Shenyue: "Don't talk much, hurry up and come to the secret base when you're ready"

Jiang Yuanshen's fingers paused suddenly, looking out the window at the dazzling sunlight, just looking at it, the inside of his ribs would be hot.

Jiang Yuanshen: "It's hot, why don't we change to a secret base?"

Jinghai Shenyue: "But where else can we go?"

Jiang Yuanshen: "My home is quite big"

He sent it for a while, and when he saw that the other party didn't respond, he added another sentence-

"And there's air conditioning."

Silent Sea Deep Moon: "There is an electric fan here"

Jiang Yuanshen: "Are you shy?"

Silent Sea Deep Moon: "I'm afraid you will sin"

Jinghai Shenyue: "Anyway, let's talk about some practical topics."

INTERVIEWER Isn't it a practical topic to find a comfortable place when the weather gets hot?

I had a hasty breakfast, changed into clean clothes, put on sneakers and went out.

Jiang Yuanshen did not walk on the asphalt road, but stepped on the rain-soaked roadside weeds with every step.

He could hear the soft rustling sound under his feet, and the elasticity of the feedback to him was incomparable, and occasionally he looked back and could see the footprints left behind.

The sound of the weeds slowly straightening up their waists was like a mysterious murmur emerging from the greenery.

In the distance, a radio tower stands at the top of the Naku Mountains, and the spreading power lines cut the blue sky into strips.

Beneath the verdant Najiu Mountains, lies an ugly abandoned ironworks that feel like a botched composite drawing.

Jiang Yuanshen gulped in the rusty air, and threw away his irritability.

There are almost no other figures in the abandoned iron factory, and it is almost like a place that exists for itself.

Stooped down and slipped in from under the fence, and into the interior of the ironworks, the chirping of wild birds seemed to become particularly loud.

When he came to the office building, Jiang Yuan cautiously glanced at the small room of Asakura Masamune, and couldn't help but walk over again.

He tried to push the door open, but found it unlocked.

The small room that was originally equipped with chairs and travel beds has become empty at the moment, and Asakura Masamune is estimated to have come to clean up, and this posture does not seem to come again.

Without staying long, Jiang Yuanshen quickly walked up to the second floor and found that the door was open, and he could hear the "whirring" sound of the electric fan inside.

When he reached the door, he froze, but one of his feet was already unnaturally lifted, and he almost fell.

"Why don't your feet hit the ground? Are you afraid of getting the floor dirty? Jinghai Shenyue sat on the bench and couldn't help but smile lightly when she looked at his funny appearance.

"Ugh"

Even though the girl in front of her had a beautiful face, a slender waist, and slender and well-proportioned legs, Jiang Yuanshen's gaze kept falling on the other person.

I saw that Kurosawa was glaring at him with a dull face.

"Heh, as soon as this person asks you to come over, you will come, and I will tell you to shirk all kinds of things, right?" Kurosawa's inquiring tone was somewhat provocative and gloomy.

Jiang Yuanshen's breathing slowed down by half a beat, he didn't know how to answer, he only felt that his toes were so cold, and there was an embarrassment of breaking into someone else's house by mistake.

Jinghai Shenyue raised her hand and stroked her long hair, and said as a matter of course:

"Jiang Yuan, what are you surprised about? Since we need Kurosawa's help for our project, it should be normal for her to be here. ”

Kurosawa's loving face turned cold, and he squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the deep moon in the quiet sea:

"Don't act like I've promised you, and I don't want to help you or not, so don't be here to make me sentimental."

"It really has nothing to do with me." Jinghai Shenyue's small hand kneaded her chin, and then smiled at her with relief, "But I didn't want to grab a boy with you, so you don't have to mess with me, it's stupid enough." ”

When she said it so bluntly, Kurosawa's beloved little face was already flushed, but she still held up the majesty in front of the same sex, and said with disdain:

"What kind of adult are you pretending to be in front of me? I've seen a lot of people to go, grab? Miss Ben would do such a thing? ”

Jinghai Shenyue, who sat dignifiedly, said calmly:

"I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't use the word robbing, but you're pursuing?"

Jiang Yuanshen looked at her in disbelief, secretly thinking in his heart, sincerity was indeed the only nirvana.

Kurosawa's mercy on the side turned out to be even more angry when it was said.

"Jiang Yuan! You said! Am I after you! ”

"Ugh." Jiang Yuanshen was stabbed by her gaze for a while, so he had to explain, "How can it be possible if there is nothing." ”

"Do you hear that?" Kurosawa glared at Shizumi Fukatsuki a little childishly, "Only others pursue my share, and it is impossible for me to pursue others." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Jiang Yuan nodded cautiously in agreement.

"You're over there! Don't tell me that you came here to find her if you had something! ”

“？？？”

It turned out that he was going to pour his anger on himself.

"Yes, after all, I took the initiative to find him before." Jinghai Shenyue smiled casually, and the wind from the electric fan pulled her hair to the side.

Jiang Yuanshen's face changed, and the meaning of her words was like saying: Because I called him, he had to come.

"Jiang Yuanshen, you're done!" Kurosawa came over angrily, stretched out his hands and grabbed Jiang Yuanshen's collar and said, "You dare to leave me and go to another girl!" ”

Jiang Yuan leaned back cautiously.

"Well, isn't that okay?"

Kurosawa's loving heart was very unhappy, and mixed feelings surged in his chest.

"No! Miss Ben's words must be the first! No one! ”

"You're too."

"I'm going to make it clear now!" Kurosawa raised his eyebrows, put on a posture that was bound to be divided into high and low, and said, "Me and this village girl, who do you listen to more!" ”

Jiang Yuanshen's face was indescribable.

- Am I a dog? Do you want to be brothers and sisters with firewood in the future?

Jinghai Shenyue pulled the black hair scattered on her cheeks behind her ears, and her thin lips bloomed like flowers:

"Kurosawa-san seems to be very confident in his charm, but Jiang Yuan-san, I won't care."

"Don't worry, I won't care about you either." Jiang Yuanshen couldn't help but complain.

You're going to die if you don't say a word, right?

Kurosawa saw that he was still taking the time to chat, his slender hanging eyes flashing with anger, and the hand tugging at his collar became tighter and tighter.

"You say!"

"This"

"Huh! Do you dare to hesitate?! ”

"Okay. I listen more. No, wait, I don't remember dating you myself, huh? ”

Jiang Yuanshen suddenly reacted, he didn't have a relationship with these two people, why did he have to choose one of the two now?
