messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 48
Recently, there was a lot of news from Pingkou that the group of bandits that had been wandering around there had been wiped out.The leader was killed, most of them could no longer use knives, and some of them fled to unknown places.

People can no longer use knives. This kind of handwriting makes people can't help but think of the female swordsman Xixingji who traveled westward. In fact, she did it.

However, the leader of the bandits was killed. This should be the first time that Xixing Temple killed people according to rumors.Moreover, her method of killing people was extremely cruel, and the leader of the bandits was cut in half.Literally, the whole body was cut in half.

The human body is not as fragile as imagined. To achieve this level requires a lot of strength. It is hard to imagine that this will be done by a female swordsman.

Not to mention that the rumored female swordsman named Xixing Temple used a rusty iron knife, which was not sharp at all, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the knife was blunt.

In short, following such news, the sword skills of Xixing Temple have been greatly exaggerated by people, and some people even began to say that the sword skills of Xihang Temple are really inherited from demons.

Well, I have to admit that this news seems to be a little bit accurate.

···
Autumn is a bit cold, and the wind blowing on the face has brought a bit of chill, but autumn is also the most moving season in Junhu.

There is no other reason, just because of the red maples in Junhu.

Every autumn, the forests outside the city, the roadsides of the streets, and the small courtyards of people are full of red maple trees. The maple leaves are like the footprints of the arrival of autumn, falling on every place within sight.

Such a county is also worthy of being called the Red Maple County.

When Chu and Yingzi walked into Junhu, the first thing they saw was not buildings or crowds, but the maple leaves falling everywhere. It was hard to say what kind of feeling it was.

What Yingzi saw was beautiful scenery, but what she saw at first was something else.

The falling maple leaves are like the passing of life.

When it comes to the passing of life, Chu is mostly felt in corpses, but she felt it in another place a few days ago.

Remember the white flower that Yingzi wore on Chu's head when she was in Pingkou?

Chu put it away and kept it until one day, she found that the white flowers were gradually turning yellow and decaying.

At that time, she felt that not all things could always exist like the sins in her body, and it seemed that the more beautiful things were, the more fragile they were.

Why, she thought, shouldn't good things deserve to exist?

She clipped the white flower to a page in her diary, maybe one day she will find the answer, maybe, there will be such a day.

"so beautiful."

Sakura looked up at the town among the red maples and sighed.

She thought of something, hesitated for a moment, stretched out a hand, and carefully grabbed the slightly cool palm beside her.

The girl said with a smile, "Chu, come take a stroll with me."

She knew she didn't have much time, whether she could kill Jizo or not, she didn't have much time.

Looking at the girl for the first time, in her opinion, the girl is equally beautiful.

But she was suddenly a little scared, afraid that girls were also vulnerable.

However, before she had time to think about it, she was pulled by the blushing girl into the flying red leaves.

In the corner of the street, a person silently watched the two walk away, then stepped back and left.

In addition to Hongfeng, Junhu is also a beautiful city, with ancient buildings, gurgling rivers flowing through the city, and small stone bridges on the river.

Yingzi held Chu's hand and Chu held an umbrella, and the two walked among the maple leaves.If this is not a path of revenge, it should be peaceful and peaceful.

On the way, Yingzi and Chu talked about a lot of things, about her father who likes to smoke, about her mother who likes to laugh, about the fields she likes, about the frogs and dragonflies she likes.

She said that at the beginning, she wanted to be a scarecrow when she grew up, so that she could stay in the field at home and prevent birds from stealing it.Ha, that should be something she thought about when she was very young, for a child, she wanted to protect her home in her own way.

Later, she wanted to be an abbot when she grew up, just like an old monk, praying for the world.Ring the evening bell every day to call people home.That should be what she thought when she was in Qingxin Temple. At that time, she also thought that it would be better to spend her life in a normal way.

But later, there is no later.

Yingzi and Chu have been walking for a long time, probably around the county, from noon to dusk.

That day, Yingzi was always smiling. After the death of the old monk, Chu rarely saw Yingzi so happy.

But for Yingzi, is that really happy? Maybe she just wants to say goodbye as best as possible.

When walking across a small bridge, Yingzi stopped and stood by the bridge. She looked at the reflection of herself and Chu in the water, and said to Chu.

"At the beginning, all the time, thank you very much."

Chu was silent for a while, in her opinion Yingzi didn't need to thank her.

"This is my mission."

She said that because this was a mission, she would fulfill all of Sakurako's requests and wishes.

A maple leaf fell on the water surface, causing ripples on the water surface, disturbing the reflections of the two of them.

In the reflection, Sakura had a smile on her face.

"Maybe it's just a task for you, but for me, you are my family."

"Family?" Chu turned his head slightly.

"Yes." On the bridge, the girl said to the messenger.

"A like-minded family."

From a certain point of view, under the effect of the contract, the two of them could be considered to be connected with each other.

But this time I realized for the first time that what Yingzi said was not what she meant.

Under the autumn sky, the wind blows the red maple trees in Junhu with a rustling sound.

"Sakura." Feng Lichu whispered, "I'm sorry."

"Why do you have to apologize." Yingzi asked, she forced herself to smile, and said tremblingly: "You don't need to apologize."

She understands that this is just a mission.

She also understands that many things are just her own thinking.

But at this time, Chu said.

"As a family member, I can't be by your side all the time, sorry."

Chu Chu's voice was still so flat, with a little hoarseness.

Perhaps this is what Yingzi's father and mother once wanted to say to her.

A tear rolled down Sakura's cheek.

She wanted to wipe it off, but she couldn't wipe it clean.In tears, she smiled, smiling happily.

"It's okay, I understand."

The girl cried and said, that's enough.

It's just that when all the family members are gone, she will feel a little lonely, and it really doesn't matter.
