messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 38
The seasons in Shanju Village are changing, year after year, for this small village that seems to be isolated from the world, the four seasons seem to be the same every year, making it unclear whether it is peaceful or boring, but it is always Some people would love this life.

In four years, Yingzi has grown from the child back then to a slim girl.The old monk is even older, but he is still flexible in his hands and feet.The first year has not changed at all. Four years may not be considered a long time for her.

"Today the cherry blossoms are in full bloom again, Sakura should like it, mood: happy."

In the room, Chu wrote down today's diary. Although she only wrote a short sentence every day, it has been four years, and the booklet in her hand is almost full.

The tip of the pen fell, but a pink-white petal flew in from the window and landed beside her book.

Putting down the pen, slowly closed the notebook.

Chu reached out and pinched the pink and white petals, the petals were soft and comfortable to the touch.

Look up out the window.

Petals are already flying in the small courtyard outside, and the cherry blossoms in spring are like snow in winter, covering the entire courtyard.

The cherry blossom tree planted in the small courtyard swayed with the wind, with the sound of Haloxylon.

Looking at the cherry blossoms flying outside the window, Chu stood up and walked out.

Walking outside the room, the sun is slightly warm.

Chu's eyes narrowed, no matter how many times she had seen such a scene, she still couldn't help being attracted.

"It's so beautiful, isn't it, but it's only for a few days."

Sakurako's voice came from behind her, and she turned her head for the first time.

Behind her, a slender girl stood in front of the door, her long black hair hung down her waist like silk, and her light pink dress was simple but it reflected the girl's somewhat detached beauty.With a smile on his face, the lines are soft.

Sakurako is no longer the taciturn girl she used to be, now she has become a girl like Sakura.

She held a plate in her hand, on which were several small round balls of various colors.

"The cherry blossoms will only bloom for about a week."

Said as if regretting, Sakurako looked at Chu, smiled, put the plate on the ground, and sat down.

"Do you want to eat dumpling? I made it myself?"

The old monk went up to the mountain to pick wild vegetables early in the morning, so Yingzi made some food for herself.

"eat."

Chu stared at Tuanzi, nodded without hesitation, and sat beside Yingzi.

The dumpling can't eat what kind of stuffing it is, but the taste is not bad.

The two are sitting among the cherry blossoms.

Chu cared about eating dumplings, but Yingzi was thoughtful.

"How old are you?"

"I don't remember." Chu's mouth was stuffed with dumplings, and his speech was a little vague.

"Don't remember?"

"Where are your parents?"

"·····" Chu paused, shook his head, and continued to pout, "I don't remember."

"Don't you remember?" Yingzi said, raising her head.

Also, Chu is an emissary, isn’t he, family or something...
"early."

"Ok?"

"Feel sorry."

"Why?" There were some doubts at first.

"It's nothing." Yingzi said with a smile, "Are the dumplings delicious?"

"Delicious." The dumpling was a bit glutinous, and it took some effort to swallow the dumpling at first.

"Then as a reward, please help me tie my hair at the beginning." In the cherry blossoms, Sakurako turned around and took out a hairpin from her arms and handed it to Chu.

This hairpin was given to her by Chu two years ago, and it was a gift made from the branches that swallows gave to Chu.

"Okay." Chu You put a dumpling into his mouth, nodded and agreed.

Yingzi turned her back and lowered her head, holding the hairpin and gently curling Yingzi's hair.

Thinking of the sound of the wind blowing the cherry blossom trees in her ears, Sakurako said suddenly.

"Chu, if I take revenge, you will leave, right?"

"Yeah." Chu truthfully replied, taking away the sin, she would go.

"Really?" Sakura murmured, lowering her eyes.

After a long silence, she continued.

"Actually, I don't know if I still want to take revenge."

She cherishes everything in front of her very much, and even if she kills her enemy, her parents will never come back.So she didn't understand whether she should take revenge or not.

Behind Yingzi, Chu was silent, because whether to continue the mission was the caller's choice, and Chu would not intervene.

Sakurako felt the gentle hands curling up her hair, and her voice was a little hoarse.

"If I don't take revenge, will the original mission be regarded as a failure, and this will make you very embarrassed?"

Chu didn't answer, Sakurako waited for Chu's answer.

Finally, Chu swallowed the dumpling in his mouth and said.

"If it's Sakurako, it's fine."

In front of the room, Yingzi was stunned, her eyes were slightly moist, she lowered her head to look at the cherry blossoms falling in front of her, and said with a smile.

"Is that so?"

Chu tied the hairpin in his hand into Yingzi's hair, and tied it into a simple hair.

"It's tied."

But what she didn't expect was that the next moment, Yingzi turned around and threw herself into her arms, hugging her with red eyes.

In the first day of junior high school, I didn't control the center of gravity well and leaned back.

"boom."

With a muffled sound, the two fell to the wooden floor in front of the room together.

The cherry blossoms fell to the ground, and the two fell into the cherry blossoms.

Of course, the initial pad is below.

"Chu." Yingzi lay on Chu's body, didn't let go of her hands, just lowered her head and leaned her face against Chu's chest, and said softly with a slightly trembling voice.

"You are really too cunning."

Chu felt some moisture in her chest, she didn't know why Yingzi suddenly called her cunning.

She just lay there blankly, let Sakura hold her.

"Well, sorry."

······
A stranger came to the street in Shanju Village. The villagers walking on the road would look at him from time to time, but no one was ready to talk to him.

Because this stranger didn't seem so easy to get along with, he was wearing a bamboo hat, covering his face, with a straw in his mouth, and a brown-red sword in his arms.

He didn't say a word along the way, he didn't even glance at the blooming cherry blossom mountain, he just walked with his head down.

Until he reaches his destination, the only temple in this small village.

Qingxin Temple.

The swordsman wearing a bamboo hat looked up and looked at the words on the temple plaque. He stood at the temple gate for a long time.

"Is it a temple?" Pressing the bamboo hat on his head, the swordsman seemed to sigh.

"Then it's better not to commit killing here."

Saying that, he turned to leave.

Although he wants to kill a person in this temple, it doesn't have to be in the temple, does he?
After all, it is a pure place of Buddhism, so it is better not to be stained with blood.
