Miss Yuzi also put away yesterday's arrogance, and her tone was obedient: "At six o'clock tomorrow night, I will wait for you here." ”

The news that Miss Ikuko invited the Takeuchi family to enjoy the night cherry blossoms tomorrow night spread quickly.

As a smash hit Oiran, even if he is now suspected of being targeted by the people of the Takeuchi family, but the other party has no definite evidence, at this time, Miss Ikuko took the initiative to lower her posture and invite the people of the Takeuchi family to enjoy the cherry blossoms and drink, and the sincerity was there, and the Takeuchi family, who had just sent thugs to guard the door of the store, did not accept the invitation, which seemed too stingy.

So even if the Takeuchi family was not very happy, but because of their identity and face, they still accepted Miss Yuko's invitation in the end.

Miss Ikuko seemed to attach great importance to this night cherry blossom drinking party, and sent someone to the sake house overnight to purchase a large number of the best and oldest sake.

It was late at night, but the sound of wheels crushing stones was continuous, and cartloads of wine were transported from the sake brewery to the Yu no Ya.

Everyone speculated that Miss Ikuko had offended the people of the Takeuchi family this time, and now she plans to lower her profile and try to please the other party with the most sincerity.

People on the street are talking about it—

"How many people are going to come over from the Takeuchi family and the Takahashi family... Miss Yuko's carload of wine is too exaggerated, right? ”

"It can be seen that Miss Yuzi is really panicked this time, and she wants to hold this night cherry blossom feast regardless of the cost."

"Yuzhiwu definitely doesn't dare to slack off, the other party is the Takeuchi family, even if there is something else wrong with the disappearance of the little son, if you still want to continue to do business and make a living, Miss Yuzi can't offend them."

"Don't talk about continuing to open, this matter hasn't been done, and it's hard to say whether Miss Yuko can survive or not."

The wine jars in the wine house kept coming to Yuzhiya, but Qi Yan didn't think that this was Miss Yuzi trying her best to curry favor with the Takeuchi family.

After getting along for the past few days, Qi Yan doesn't think that Miss Yuzi is a person who can easily put down her body, especially these aristocratic men who she doesn't care about at all;

And the little son of the Takeuchi family was indeed killed by her, this matter is not something that can be turned over by pleasing the people of the Takeuchi family, and Miss Yuzi can't really solve this matter anyway.

Unless...... These drinks were not used to curry favor with the people of the Takeuchi family, but Miss Ikuko had other plans.

Qi Ji noticed that these people who were brought in were all high-grade wine, and of course he didn't forget that Yu Zhiwu and Miss Yu Zi ended up in the fire.

Is it possible that these high spirits were used to burn? After all, alcohol is a good starting material.

Qi Zhen had a flash of inspiration, could it be that the fire that burned down Yu's house and buried Miss Yuzi in the sea of fire, and the resentment lasted for a hundred years, was not set by the people of the Takeuchi family, but that Miss Yuzi planned to die with all this back then?

Judging from the clues he has now, as well as Miss Yuzi's actions, Qi Ji is more inclined to this answer.

What happened next made Qi Ji more sure of his guess.

Before dawn the next day, Miss Yuzi found Qi Jiu.

Because of the preparation for the night cherry blossom drinking party, Miss Yuko, who had been busy all night, didn't have a chance to close her eyes, and she looked extremely pale and haggard at the moment.

"Before tonight, you leave the House of Gloom with Ash."

Saying that, Miss Yuzi handed over a large amount of money to Qi Yan: "There are five thousand coins here, your salary for the past two days and the money for raising Xiao Ash in the future are all in it, this money is enough for you to live well in the countryside, I only have one request, take care of the cat in Yu Zhiwu." ”

Miss Yuzi tried to raise her hand again to touch the little gray cat, this time the little gray cat sensibly did not dodge again, but Miss Yuzi's hand paused in mid-air, she hesitated for half a second, and finally retracted her stunned hand a little reluctantly.

"Meow meow?" The little gray cat didn't care very much, and turned his head towards Qi Yan's arms.

Qi Yan was stunned and asked, "Why is Xiao Ash so important to you?" ”

Miss Yuzi smiled: "When I was a little girl, Xiao Ash took care of me. ”

Qi Yan raised the corners of his lips, and he scratched the ears of the little gray cat: "I didn't see it, it turns out that your little guy is so old." ”

"Meow meow!" The little gray cat raised its tail in protest.

Miss Yuzi looked at the little gray cat and said thoughtfully, "But since I secretly drank the blood brew, it has ignored me......"

Her voice grew lower and lower, and finally she smiled indifferently: "Probably to punish me as a thief." ”

Qi Jiu: "Why do you entrust Xiao Ash to me?" ”

Miss Yuzi avoided the importance and said lightly: "In the entire Yu House, the closest person to Xiao Ash is you, and it doesn't pay attention to anyone except you." ”

"You know that's not what I mean," Qi Ji looked at her fixedly and asked straight to the point, "Are you planning to die with them?" ”

Miss Yuzi was slightly stunned, and then smiled indifferently: "What do you say, I just want to drink with them and enjoy the night cherry blossoms, after all, they also want to give me this Oiran face." ”

But Qi Jiu, who has already broken the rules, knows very well that enjoying the night cherry blossoms means violating the rules of the Yu no House.

Tomorrow night is the fifteenth night, and on a moonlit night, head to the atrium to enjoy the night cherry blossoms, and this scorching blooming enchanted cherry tree is likely to do something to guests who have never drunk blood brew.

The trap behind Miss Ikuko's invitation is already obvious.

But since the other party didn't want to tell, Qi Ji didn't plan to continue to ask.

"Miss Yuko, may I take the liberty of asking you one more question?" Qi Yan said.

Miss Yuzi's eyebrows frowned slightly: "What do you want to ask?" ”

After a brief hesitation, Qi Yan spoke, "Why do you want to drink the blood of those people? ”

Chapter 57: 404 Hot Spring Street (27)

A nervous silence spreads.

After a while, Miss Yuzi suddenly laughed: "It seems that you know a lot." ”

"But you know what?" Miss Yuzi put away her smile and raised her eyelids to look at Qi Yan, "Once you get it, addiction is the hardest thing to quit." ”

The moment the words fell, the corners of Miss Yuzi's lips curled, and she looked away from Qi Yan's face and cast her gaze out of the window.

The moon has sunk into the horizon and the sky is shining.

For Miss Yuzi, drinking human blood has become an "addiction" that is difficult to quit.

"Drinking blood makes me feel safe," she squinted slightly, looking at the clouds that were breaking in the distance, "Just as others need to rely on cigarettes and alcohol, I also need to rely on fresh blood, is that easier to understand?" ”

Miss Yuko never seemed to mention these words to anyone, and it was only when she drank blood that she felt a sense of security in her heart, as if she could really control and manipulate everything.

Although she knew she didn't actually can't, it was just a fleeting delusion.

After all, she is different from that person, she is just an ordinary person, ordinary people can't even control themselves in this parade, how can they try to control everything?

Qi Ji keenly understood Miss Yuzi's emotions, and he didn't comment on it.

"But that would get you in trouble." Qi Yan said.

Miss Yuzi smiled indifferently: "You don't understand, sometimes trouble is not worth mentioning in the face of a sense of security. ”

Qi Yan nodded, and asked tentatively, "Did you start by secretly drinking blood brew?" ”

He was referring to the fact that Miss Ikuko needed to drink blood to quench her addiction in order to gain a sense of security.

"You can say that, but ......" Miss Yuko paused, then shook her head again, "Who knows? Maybe since the day I was sold to the House of Depression, nothing that happened now can be changed. ”

Qi Zhen looked at her steadily, and finally nodded: "So that's the case." ”

Secretly drinking blood brew may be just an introduction, and the answer to Miss Yuko's real liberation needs to be found back to an earlier point in time.

For the branch line of "Please help Miss Yuzi to liberate", Qi Yan already has a plan in his heart.

Miss Yuzi also looked at Qi Yan: "Is there anything else you want to ask?" ”

Qi Yan looked out the window, and the newly lit sky was blue without impurities, and it looked like a rare sunny day.

Blowing the dawn wind, Qi Yan said in a chatter-like tone: "Tonight fifteen, look at this weather, the moon must be beautiful tonight." ”

Miss Yuko supported her face with her hands and squinted slightly in the wind: "Yes, I hope so." ”

"There is a rule in the house of Koyu, it is forbidden to go to the atrium without permission on a moonlit night, and tonight the people of the Takeuchi family are invited to come and enjoy the cherry blossoms at night... Is it really okay? Qi Yan asked lightly.

Miss Yuzi was slightly stunned, and then said: "I set the rules of Yuzhiwu, I can naturally change them, and if it is a guest I invited, how can it be considered private, right?" ”

She looked at Qi Yan and asked rhetorically.

Qi Ji met her gaze and asked calmly, "Miss Yuzi, what are you going to do when the day dawns and the moon disappears?" ”

Miss Ikuko's plan is already obvious.

The invitation to enjoy the night cherry blossoms is a death invitation, and the people of the Takeuchi family have never drunk blood brew, and they don't know this rule, and they are invited to the cherry tree in the atrium of the Yuya on the night of the fifteenth month to enjoy the moon and drink, which is equivalent to actively breaking the hidden rules, and this man-eating demon cherry tree can easily kill them.

And Miss Yuko, who once secretly drank blood brew, is the mastermind of this death invitation.

Miss Ikuko knows that this time she can't escape, and it won't be long before her secret of killing people and drinking blood will be revealed, so she takes the initiative to send out an invitation and use the cherry trees and rules to eliminate these people who stand in her way.

But even if Miss Ikuko has the protection of the blood cherry tree, when the moon disappears into the horizon, the man-eating demon cherry tree turns back into an ordinary cherry tree, and there is no way to shelter Miss Ikuko who is in big trouble.

She would be imprisoned as a monster, and they would do whatever they wanted with her, slit her cannibalistic mouth, and then tie her to a pillar of the goddess and burn her alive.

Rather than becoming a fish on someone else's chopping block and being slaughtered, Miss Yuko is more willing to control her own life and death, and even the life and death of others.

It's her pathologically extreme, way of gaining security, and she knows it better than anyone.

Miss Yuzi was stunned, she looked deeply at the young man wearing a noodle, and was silent for a long time before she spoke, "It seems that you know the secret of the cherry tree." ”

Qi Ji did not make a sound, and expressed his affirmation with silence.

Miss Yuzi suddenly raised the corners of her lips: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill your mouth now?" ”

The little gray cat who was held in Qi Yan's arms suddenly exploded: "Meow meow!" ”

It cocked its tail fiercely, and its pupils were lined up and glared at Miss Ikuko vigilantly.

Qi Yan hurriedly rubbed the little gray cat's head with his chin again and again, and whispered, "Be good, don't be afraid." ”

He was sure that Miss Yuzi would never do anything to him at this time, so he dared to ask directly.

After all, Miss Yuzi had just entrusted him with the little gray cat that she couldn't let go of.

"It's strange that Ash can't do without you like this," said Miss Ikuko, who looked at the swaying cherry trees in the atrium again, and said as if to herself, "I won't disappear." ”

Qi Jiu's action to appease the little gray cat paused slightly——

Won't go away?

Could it be that Miss Yuzi at this time already knew that her resentment would become the fuel of the yin fire, which would last for a hundred years and not be extinguished for a long time?

In other words, Miss Ikuko has reached a deal with Demon Sakura.

"I will always be here, in the House of Yu, just like the old cherry tree, ......forever," Miss Ikuko spoke, her voice was so soft that it seemed to dissipate in the dawn wind at any moment, but there was a look of madness and obsession on her face.

The scenery in front of me is indescribably beautiful, in the dawn of the white fog in winter, the oiran who has not slept all night leans against the window, with a smile on the corner of her lips, looking at the swaying cherry trees with an obsessive expression.

I see.

From the other party's dreamy words, Qi Zhen has already figured out what happened to Miss Yuzi in this time.
