73 Behold, this beloved
The agreed day to go to Asano Castle to "get married" soon arrived.
When Yugo opened his eyes, the harsh sunlight falling through the wooden window into his eyes, he realized that today was the day he left Gion for Asano Castle — the day he regained his freedom to be precise.
But even if there is a very high expectation of the possibility of the occurrence of the Sesshomaru, Yugo is also aware that no matter how high the probability is, before it appears, it is equal to zero.
Youguo, who is a little excited and calm on the other hand, can't even eat lately, at most he only nibbles a rice ball when he feels hungry in his stomach, so his cheeks have become a little uncomfortable recently, and the pointed look of his chin is still a little pitiful.
In the eyes of uninformed people, it seems that Youguo thought that he was deliberately losing weight in order to be able to wear a heavy wedding dress beautifully, but this speculation was only expressed with indifferent eyes after Youguo knew about it, farting.
That Asano guy doesn't deserve his attention at all, okay!
He's just simple, pure, a little bit unpalatable.
Maybe it was the small amount of food that was too small two days ago that finally caused a protest in the stomach today, and Youguo, who woke up, didn't have time to put on the dress that Hatsukayo had prepared in advance, and the first sentence was to say to Hatsukao: "Is there any rice ball left over from last night?" ”
Chu Xing also understood that Youguo would speak from time to time at this time, and asked Mei Yi on the side to hurry down to the kitchen first and bring up two plum rice balls left over from last night.
Yuguo, who got the plum rice ball, opened his bow left and right, and in less than a minute, the rice ball was in his stomach, and after eating the rice ball, he was about to start thinking about changing into his wedding dress and going to Asano Castle, and the accompanying servants had been waiting for a long time in front of the door of the house, just waiting for Yuguo to change into a dress and bring a bamboo hat before leaving.
Different from the happy Hatsu Apricot and Maiko, as the "bride" herself, Youguo was unexpectedly calm, and after changing into a dress and wearing a bamboo hat that covered her appearance, Hatsu Xing stood at the door and held his hand and was reluctant to let go.
Chu Xing was still a little worried, "You must be careful along the way." ”
Youguo was relatively calm, he just whispered to Chu Xing, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." ”
Chu Xing didn't speak, she held Youguo's hand tightly, she knew that after Youguo left, she didn't know when she would be able to see her again, this child she watched grow up finally came to the moment of separation today.
She was sad and relieved, tears rolling in her eyes, and her voice choked up.
"Goodbye, goodbye, Youguo."
Youguo quietly looked at the first apricot who shed tears, and the dancers behind her who were still a little ignorant of the impending parting in their eyes.
Youguo paused, and said in the same hoarse voice, "Goodbye." ”
Turning over and sitting on the horse's back, with the sound of the horse's hooves kicking away, Youguo raised his hand and waved behind him as the dancers whispered "goodbye".
He didn't dare to look back, he didn't know when he would see him again, and it seemed that it would be even more sad to turn back.
*
Walking along the path from Gion in the direction of Asano Castle, the sound of horseshoe kicking and tapping did not pause along the way, perhaps to show attention, or perhaps because of some unfounded rumors of bandits recently, the Asano Castle Lord sent seven or eight samurai with swords to follow Yugo to Asano Castle, in case there would be any accidents on the way.
But the more you don't want it to happen, the easier it will be, and the journey from Gion to Asano Castle requires passing through a forest, and the tall, dense woods are the best hiding places, and Yugo holds the bamboo hat that covers his face with his hand, and casually looks through the curtain made of tulle to observe the surrounding scenery.
The forest was quiet and eerie, the birds that usually jumped from branch to branch were almost gone, and the rustle that only happened when the leaves rubbed against each other sounded, and Yugo had some bad premonitions in his heart.
Similar to his hunch were the samurai sent by Asano, several of whom were trained after all, so it was easier to sense the unusual atmosphere in the forest of this path, and before Yugo could speak, they had quickly put their hands on the hilt of the sword beside him and made a defensive gesture.
"Is there anybody?" Yugo said to the samurai beside him, "There's something strange here. ”
"Something is wrong." The samurai at the head reminded Yugo in a low voice: "The situation seems to be a little bad, you should be careful." ”
The hand holding the reins tightened, Youguo nodded, and in the next second after the samurai reminded him, as if echoing from afar, dozens of cold arrows were quickly released from among the bushes, and the targets of the arrow rain were all the samurai guarding Youguo's side.
If two or three of these feather arrows hit, it will definitely affect people's actions, but fortunately, the samurai who followed them were already aware of it, and quickly swung their swords to block most of the feathered arrows, and the samurai led by them calmed the frightened horses under Koyuka, holding the sword vigilantly and uneasily observing the surrounding movements.
"Who are you?" A samurai shouted, "We are the samurai of the lord of Asano Castle, if you don't want to be wanted by the owner of a castle, leave quickly!" ”
It wasn't until a rain of arrows passed that the bandits hiding in the bushes finally revealed their true colors.
Under the ferocious appearance is a vicious look, and the thieves who burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of evil only wait for this time to kidnap Yugo and extort a lot of money from the lord of Asano Castle to let them live a period of time of spending time and drinking, so naturally the samurai who followed Yugo can leave this place safely.
I heard that the lord of Asano Castle is obsessed with this geisha, so it is normal to pay some money for the survival of his beloved.
"It's just that I heard that the wife of Asano Castle is the main one to marry, and we will show up here." The knife in his hand knocked lightly on the ground, and the bandit led by him grinned with murderous eyes, showing yellowed teeth at the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile to the other bandits behind him: "This time we will do a big deal!" ”
It was difficult for a well-trained samurai and a vicious and brutal bandit to tell which side would be stronger, and in the scuffle of dozens of people, Yugo could only hear the clanging sound of swords colliding and the tearing sound of sharp weapons cutting through flesh.
He staggered and stumbled in the scuffle of a crowd of people like a leaf drifting with the wheel, and despite having lived here for many years, he was truly aware for the first time that human life was as meagre as grass and mustard in this era.
Another person fell, and the blood gushing out of the veins splashed on Youguo on horseback, and the rich smell of blood drilled into Youguo's nose, and Youguo, who had only eaten two plum rice balls to cushion his stomach, now became in his stomach again
It was empty, and the restless horses beneath him kept moving, causing the tumbling stomach acid to make him sick to his stomach when he smelled the strong smell of blood.
Even though he maintained a stable mood at first, when he really saw such a bloody and murderous scene, Yuguo's pale face still showed his uneasy heart.
He's just an ordinary person.
In the chaotic situation, the surrounding samurai had no time to take care of Youguo in the center, and in the scuffle, I don't know whose sword fell on the horse under Youguo, and the already frightened horse was even more panicked after being injured, and began to gallop with Youguo on his legs.
Ordinary people in a state of mania can't be calmed down, not to mention that the impact of the horse's hooves falling is enough to crush a person's chest, and after seeing the frightened horses start to rush at will without a mind, whether it is a bandit or a samurai, they all begin to dodge in a panic, and the samurai takes the opportunity to shout to Youguo: "Please be sure to hold on to the reins, don't fall off!" ”
Of course, Youguo knew this, in order to stabilize his body, he reluctantly lay on the horse's back and tightly wrapped his hands around the horse's neck, clutching the reins in his hand, the horse in the wild gallop had forgotten the person on horseback, the wind generated by the rapid movement and the broken branches and leaves that were raised hit Youguo's face heavily, Youguo didn't have time to feel the pain, and he only felt the nausea of the world spinning when he was carried away by the horse.
Youguo didn't know how long the panicked horse had been running, and he didn't know where he had gone, all he could hear was the sound of a frantic heartbeat and the wind whistling past his ears.
The bamboo hat on his head has long been knocked off by the branches, and the black hair is scattered behind Youguo like flowing water, and the road in the woods is a little bumpy, and the dizzy horse is still on the inaccessible path, and the raised roots and bushes on the road quickly block the way for the horse under Youguo to continue running, and the horse that was tripped by the roots fell on his knees and fell, but inertia flew out of the horse from the horse with Youguo, and Youguo only felt that he was suddenly light, When I opened my eyes, I could only see the leafy canopy of trees passing overhead.
It's over.
Youguo thought a little unwillingly, he would fall seriously and be injured this time.
It's okay to be seriously injured, at this time, Youguo can still have fun in suffering, at least don't die like this, there is a peach pill sent by the main god of the great country as long as it doesn't fall into a box, Youguo will recover his health soon.
But even if Youguo can tolerate pain more than ordinary people, it doesn't mean that he likes pain, just imagining that he fell into a serious injury and fracture is enough for Youguo to start feeling uncomfortable.
Youguo subconsciously closed his eyes and hugged his head with both hands, he thought that he would at least not hurt his head under the upcoming impact, but at the moment when Youguo was already mentally prepared, Youguo suddenly heard a familiar footsteps at this moment.
Before Youguo fell heavily on the rocky ground, and before Youguo was ready for severe pain, a pair of arms firmly imprisoned Youguo's waist as he was rapidly falling, saving him from imminent danger.
Youguo opened his eyes, and the first thing that fell into his eyes was the long snow-white hair that was as clean and clear as the first snow, and then the jawline with clean and sharp lines.
It's a killing pill.
Youguo's eyes shook in the sun, and then he suddenly laughed.
Youguo and the system said, "I knew he was coming." ”
The system also said, "He did come." ”
Sesshomaru landed lightly on the ground, and he lowered his eyes to look at Yuguo, and his golden eyes calmly conveyed a sentence, "It's okay." ”
It's been a long time since I've seen Sesshomaru as cold and clear as the perennial snow on the top of a towering mountain, and Yugo can now be said to be as embarrassed as a beggar, he looks at Sesshomaru quietly, his pure black eyes reflecting bright spots of light running out of the gaps in the dense canopy.
Sesshomaru hesitated a little, he sensed that there was something wrong with Youguo, and his arms around Youguo were slightly loosened and wanted to put Yuguo down, but Youguo, who had already noticed it, stretched out his arms at this time and tightly wrapped his arms around Sesshomaru's neck, and the clogs were thrown off as early as halfway, leaving only clean white socks on his feet, and Yuguo, who simply stepped on the surface of Sesshomaru's feet with his whole foot, wrapped his feet around Sesshomaru's neck and hugged him tightly.
There were three points of grievance in his voice, and seven points of pleasure, "Sesshomaru, are you going to leave again?" ”
According to Youguo's holding method, it is probably a little difficult for Sesshomaru to leave, Sesshomaru who has never been held like this is a little stiff, he tilted his head slightly, and his voice was a little cold, "Let go." ”
Yugo was very persistent, and he insisted until Sesshomaru didn't know what to do for a while.
The person in his arms was tightly entangled with him like a water snake, and there was a bewildering aura all over his body. Sesshomaru's skin was slightly tense, and his throat was hoarse and dry.
Yugo was afraid that he would simply disappear as neatly as before, and he didn't care about the cold temperament on Sesshomaru's body, not only did he hang on him, but he even had to hold Sesshomaru's face inch by inch to force Sesshomaru to look at him.
"When I go back, I'll marry Asano." Yugo said, "Sesshomaru, do you want to see it?" ”
Sesshomaru's pupils shrank slightly, and the cold momentum around his body became more and more cold.
Youguo asked unwillingly: "Do you want me to go back?" Do you hope? ”
Sesshomaru still didn't say a word, but Yuguo's slightly tightened arm around his waist was enough to show his attitude.
Sniffing the cold plum fragrance in the hair of the killing pill, Youguo gently curled the corners of his mouth.
He likes Sesshomaru too much for a silent but honest person, because he can't lie, so his body language and eyes can perfectly show his true thoughts, and Yugo can easily see through it.
So Youguo tilted his head and approached Sesshomaru's face, looking at each other, and the tips of the two noses touched lightly and separated, as if they were leaving.
A hand gently slid down and grabbed Sesshomaru's hand on his waist, and Yugo gently rubbed the tip of Sesshomaru's nose and smiled at Sesshomaru.
"Take me away." Youguo said.
"I want to be with you."
Sesshomaru's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his golden pupils darkened. He still didn't speak, but he didn't let go either, and left in the opposite direction from Asano Castle, holding Yuguo's waist.
Take me away.
Youguo squinted his eyes pleasantly and thought, good dog.
