Give weak women a heart of steel

Chapter 188 The Threat Beside Lake Ashi
The second day of spring break,

Ichinose Qingyue sat in the park with a small box, looking at the decayed park with her lips pursed.

Rat-gray walls and weed-covered ground.

This box is almost so small that even if it is stood up, it is only fifty or sixty centimeters.

And it was so light, it seemed like there was nothing inside.

Sitting on the bench, she didn't care that her pink dress was stained with dust.

Time passed by little by little, from a dark morning to a bright morning.

"No one came."

Breathe softly and carefully.

It was obviously smaller than the sound of a mosquito flapping its wings, but it was inexplicably as heavy as a mountain.

It seemed to be a warning that if she was not stopped, it would definitely lead to a mountain of mistakes.

She stretched out her wrist and took out a fruit knife.

This knife was stolen from home - because except for her clothes, she could not take away anything else.

Even, her mother still supervises her.

Early in the morning, he pried open her door, pushed her, and asked her to take her luggage and leave.

Even though she already knew that the man was very indifferent, she didn't expect that he was so indifferent.

The blade of the knife is placed on the wrist. The blade of the fruit knife is not sharp, and there is no pain when placed on it.

With a slight exertion, the blade made a slight dent in the skin.

Blood oozed out like water drops under the earth.

Xia Tingfei grabbed the girl's wrist and took the knife carefully: "There is no way to commit suicide like this. You can only fall into pain."

He threw the fruit knife into the trash can aside.

He let out a long breath.

He finally arrived - for various reasons, he still woke up late in the morning.

Ichinose Qingyue seemed to have an emotional breakdown.

Put your hands on your face.

Sobbing.

But almost immediately I realized that this was really unseemly.

She ran into the bathroom that had been abandoned for who knows how long.

After sighing, Xia Tingfei stood outside the park bathroom.

In the past few days, the frequency of Ichinose Kiyosuki's suicides has almost doubled.

Mingming before, when the two got along, she was obviously relaxed.

Even able to smile happily.

"I heard sobs coming from this abandoned building."

"I, perhaps have been doing a disservice - because of me, she is suffering. Because of me, this beautiful and delicate girl is in this abandoned place full of mouse gray and dust. Crying in a public restroom.”

"Perhaps it was me who drove her to a dead end."

"Good intentions, to a certain extent, are just festering bad intentions."

"It's even more painful than bad intentions."

Xia Tingfei thought so and closed his mouth while listening to the sobs inside.

"Now, I can't say any words, and I can't even find a suitable reason to comfort this girl."

"Now, at this time, it seems very false to say anything."

After a long, long time, he finally saw Ichinose Qingyue.

The circles under her eyes were red and swollen, but she seemed to cover it up: "Where are we going to camp?"

"One from the mountain." Xia Tingfei tapped his fingers: "But before that, you still have to deal with your luggage."

This question is very acute.

It was almost impossible for her to answer.

"Are you asking me to beg?"

Although she had already fallen into this situation, the more she reached this point, the more she wanted to hold on to her only dignity.

"But I don't have any choice anymore, do I?"

Thinking like this, she almost opened her mouth.

"First, a question."

Xia Tingfei's words interrupted Ichinose Qingyue's thoughts.

"How is your cooking?"

"I got very good grades in my home economics class."

After a moment of silence, Ichinose Qingyue answered.

Achievements are almost the thing she is most proud of.

And it was also the culprit that caused her to fall into such an abyss.

"So, I have a job that doesn't pay well, is troublesome, and requires taking care of people. Do you want to do it?"

"What job."

"Tidal algae crumbs, you know."

"Yes."

Ichinose Qingyue knew about the sea tide algae, and she still remembered the unequivocal girl who made the declaration in front of her.

"Take care of her." Xia Tingfei glanced at her: "She lives in my home now, but she needs someone to take care of her. If you are willing, you can become a maid or something. It is not convenient to handle the food and take care of the legs and feet. Tide algae debris.”

"how?"

"can."

Ichinose Qingyue said in a low voice, she understood that this condition was already excellent.

She was caring for a girl about her own size, not an old man.

"Then come with me."

Xia Tingfei did not help Ichinose Qingyue to pull the box, but stood in front and walked lightly.

Qingchuan in the early morning is very beautiful.

The old roads and buildings seemed to have been dimmed with a halo of light.

The old that I originally disliked seems to have a special charm at this time.

This charm also comes from the history of this city.

Xia Tingfei was holding a pure black crank-handled umbrella that looked like one used at funerals.

It will make a beeping sound when poked on the ground - the umbrella handles are all wrapped in metal.

Although the front end has been designed to be round.

But if you accidentally fall down the stairs, the umbrella handle may be inserted into your neck.

This method of death has appeared in Qingchuan's history.

Therefore, people in Qingchuan pay special attention to the location of the umbrella stand.

They are usually at the entrance and look like a three-story narrow wooden frame.

There are grooves and pipes at the bottom that connect the water to the outside.

Children should also be specially taught to pay attention to the safety of using umbrellas and not to wave them deliberately.

When the child is 12 years old, they will give the child an umbrella as a gift.

Every Qingchuan person has such an umbrella.

After growing up, some people who are nostalgic will modify and strengthen their umbrellas and continue to use them.

But Ichinose Kiyuki didn't have such an umbrella. "Do you like pink very much?"

"Me?" Ichinose Qingyue glanced at her skirt: "I only have this skirt, and the rest are school uniforms. It's not that I like pink."

"It's just, just because there were only skirts of this color left at that time."

"So?" Xia Tingfei didn't look back, as if he was just asking casually.

"What I like is probably emerald green."

Emerald green is the most vital color. As long as people see this color, they will think of healing and peace of mind.

Xia Tingfei was not surprised. No one stipulates that people who are determined to die must like those heavy colors.

Such a light color is just right for a girl like her.

But a pure green umbrella probably won’t look good.

However, this kind of thing is not something you should consider.

After bringing Ichinose Qingyue back home, this girl who used to be very dull felt a little anxious.

Even uneasy.

He kept patting his skirt gently to get rid of the dust on it.

But she didn't dare to use force, fearing that Xia Tingfei would find out that she was doing this.

I had no choice but to tilt my head and be cautious.

Also pay attention to whether Xia Tingfei will look over from his head.

"So, this is what you have to do." Haichao Zaoxian sat in the wheelchair, holding his chin with his palm and looking at Xia Tingfei.

"I'm just looking for a maid for you." Xia Tingfei pointed at Ichinose Qingyue: "If you are going to camp, she will take care of you. Of course, you have to pay the salary."

"Then, let's say 20 yen a month." Umishio looked at Ichinose Kiyuki: "And you don't need to pay for rent and food."

"Ah."

The girl did not refuse.

High school students can work up to [-] hours a month, and their hourly wage is about [-] yen.

It’s 20 yen a month, and it’s a maid’s job.

Actually a little less.

But apart from when she is not at home for school and when she is sleeping, after all, her working hours are only a short time in the evening and a period of time in the morning.

Looking at it this way, the salary is actually very friendly.

"She—probably doesn't want me to get too close to Xia Tingfei. She is a girl with scheming intentions, but she also extended a helping hand to me."

The room is also arranged on the first floor, so that she can better take care of the sea tide algae debris.

After everything was settled, several people finally decided to go camping.

The camping location is by a relatively well-known lake in Qingchuan, called Lake Ashi.

Surrounded by mountains, the flowing river turned a corner here, forming Lake Ashi.

If you want to get somewhere, you need to drive.

But now they are just ordinary students, so this task can only be given to Sakuma Kiyome.

——She learned the secret skill Tiger Eye Meteor. This method of teaching secret skills should have been called a teacher even in the harsh ancient times.

Therefore, Sakuma Kiyome did not refuse.

Several people brought several sets of cheap fishing tools, as well as some tents, camping tools, and even some vegetables that could be easily stored.

Sakuma Seima came to Xia Tingfei's house and looked at the girls in surprise.

Two or three of them will be that kind of beauties.

Besides, they were all in good spirits—except for the girl she didn't know.

It also belongs to the girl who looks the most mature.

The girl was sitting by the window in the back row, looking at the yard through the door and window.

"——I will live here from now on."

"Not bad at all."

On the way to Lake Ashi, I couldn't see many people along the way.

After all, most people’s first choice for spring break now is to go cherry blossom viewing, not to go camping at Lake Ashi.

Although Lake Ashi is surrounded by mountain peaks, it is full of green.But, there is no cherry blossom tree.

"It's so rare that we actually go camping."

Sakuma Seimei said lightly: "Aren't Haishio's legs and feet uncomfortable?"

"It's precisely because I feel uncomfortable that I need to avoid crowds." Hai Tide Algae smiled at Sakuma Kiyomi.

Her tone was a little tough and disrespectful, but there was nothing that could be done about it.

Hai Tide Algae definitely didn't want Xia Tingfei to think she was a burden.

"So it's like this." Sakuma Kiyomi didn't feel embarrassed at all - it wasn't because of her rough lines.

But don't care at all.

None of these people are normal, so I don’t think there’s anything wrong with silence.

After sending the four people to Lake Ashi, Sakuma Seima quickly got into the car and left.

Xia Tingfei chose a place next to Lake Ashi.

Being close to the lake makes it easy to fish and get water.But it is also very close to the woods on the mountain. You can even go to the mountains and forests to find some mushrooms and wild vegetables.

The entire camping lasted about three days and three nights, and we left on the fourth day.

The girls went fishing with fishing rods, while Xia Tingfei was handling the tent.

"Let me help too." Hinazuki Kana picked up the tent nails.

"Sister Kana! Let's go fishing." Haitide Algae waved his hand: "If we can't catch any fish, we will starve at night."

"We brought a lot of vegetables here." Hinazuki Kana said and flipped up her hair.

However, Hai Tide Algae persisted and found many reasons and excuses.

Hinazuki Kana already understood that the seaweed chips had a lot to say to her, so she put down the tent pegs in her hands.

Xia Tingfei didn't take it seriously. The reason for camping was to let them have fun.

It doesn't matter what you want to do.

The girls took the fishing rods and walked to a position some distance away from Xia Tingfei.

The ground around Lake Ashi is somewhat hard.

Even if you push a wheelchair on it, there won't be any problems.

After confirming that Xia Tingfei couldn't hear, Haitide Algae looked at Ichinose Qingyue: "Can I call you Ichinose?"

The girl had no particular reason to refuse and just nodded.

"That's good, Ichinose, we want to be friends with you." Umichi Momo said, pulling Hinazuki Kana's banner.

But Hinazuki Kana didn't care about such things at all. He just put the bait on the hook and threw it into the lake.

The lake here is a freshwater lake with freshwater fish such as trout.

She wants to eat barbecue tonight.

“Friends with whom you can share laughter, share joy, and share difficulties.”

Tidalweed sitting in a wheelchair said this: "But we will never share the same thing - you know it."

"This is our bottom line. Above this, we can be best friends because we have similar experiences and tragic fates. But if the bottom line is crossed, then don't blame us for being too indifferent."

"I don't have any interest in this kind of thing." Ichinose Qingyue said this, looking at the seaweed chips and becoming slightly silent.

"I just wanted to get away from that place."

The voice was bitter and dull, like a girl who had suffered a lot.

This made Hai Chao feel the same, and she stretched out her hand: "My name is Hai Chao. You can call me Hai Chao, or you can call me Hai Chao. We are friends now. Please give me your advice in the future."
