When does this world have a blood bar showing?

night time.

The night shrouded the Meinong Plain, and the entire Inaba Mountain City also entered a relatively quiet night from the busyness of the day. Every family fell asleep in the quiet darkness, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. It is the most important part of this era. Universal rhythm.

There are only a few houses that can emit candlelight. After all, whether it is candles or lamp oil, ordinary people cannot afford to consume them.

In ancient times when productivity was backward, lighting was really a luxury. Even in China, there are many related stories circulating, often allusions about scholars who thought of various methods for reading because their families were poor and could not afford oil lamps. Wait.

This is the case in China, let alone in this island country.

However, in Tokichiro's longhouse, the candlelight was extravagantly lit tonight. In the lobby, by the reflection of the firelight, Saito Michizō raised the dagger in his hand in memory, his fingers trembled slightly, he lightly pondered the blade, and looked at the word "Show" engraved on it.

"It's this...it's this..."

He seemed a little absent-minded and muttered to himself, although it had been more than ten years since the separation, he was no longer the leader of the Chu Yeya clan, but successfully relied on strategies to capture Meinong and became a famous and important prince in the world. . But no matter what, this short knife he will never admit wrong.

Because this is the fragment of Chu Yeya's blade that he used to use in the past, a part of the legendary sword left by the samurai who killed the ghost in the beginning.

If he was very sure before, then Saito Michizo has completed the final confirmation - he suddenly turned his head and looked at the black-haired girl who looked exactly like Yilong, who was himself Another long lost daughter!

Really are……

Really good! I didn't know if I would see each other again in my lifetime, but I didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly that he was not prepared and caught off guard!

Even though he has always been famous for his untrustworthiness and ruthlessness, so he is called "Minong's pit viper", his heart is in chaos at this moment.

This man with a smooth forehead, a full beard, and a domineering appearance took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and squeezed out a kind and kind old father's smile, facing the somewhat overwhelmed black man. The haired girl asked:

"Shen Fangye... no, your mother, she... is she okay?"

"..."

Hearing the words, the black-haired girl was stunned for a moment, and her face suddenly became a little sad.

She opened her mouth, but in the end she just lowered her long eyelashes, but couldn't say anything.

What I recalled in my mind was the unforgettable scene when I was young. The red-eyed man with a tin stick suddenly broke into his home... At that time, the young Hidechiyo didn't know anything, so he collapsed with his mother. in a pool of blood.

After the red-eyed man succeeded and left, the mother, who had only one breath left, resurrected her with the power of the short knife and all the magic power, and asked her to live no matter what, she must live strong, and then Xiangxiaoyu died.

After that, the young Hidechiyo carried her mother's wishes and commitments to her, and lived alone. She lost a lot and lost her ability to speak, but she only remembered the name her mother left to her. Whenever someone asked his name, he would answer by showing the word "Show" on the knife left by his mother.

It's been that way to this day.

"..."

"..."

In the silence, the air becomes dull little by little, and sometimes, silence itself is a kind of answer.

"Yes, I understand..."

Looking at the girl's sad expression, Saito Michizō instantly seemed to be many years older. He understood something, and after a moment of silence, he sighed. Although the girl didn't say anything, but he was as smart as him, how could he not understand what was going on.

That woman is no longer in this world...

He felt very strange and didn't feel surprised, only that it was so clear. After all, in this war-torn world, people and ghosts are dying in large numbers every day, plus it's more than ten years. No news, he had already accepted this possibility.

But the sadness couldn't be suppressed. He turned his head again, and looked at the short blade in his hand with some fascination. He seemed to fall into a strange state of nostalgia for the past. As if everything happened yesterday.

It's weird, it's been more than ten years...

He just stared at it in a daze, and after a while, his eyes became brighter unconsciously, and it seemed to be crystal clear.

die, die, die...

At this time, Tokichiro, who was standing a little further away, was trembling with fear. He didn't have time to sigh that Mino's pit viper also had a tender side, and that this man whose heart seemed to be made of iron and stone would have such a human expression. But for the first time, I felt that my scalp was about to explode, and I felt that I had seen something I shouldn't have seen!

He looked around tremblingly, and found that Miss Axiu looked sad and lowered her eyes, while Brother Gu Mo was watching calmly. The people of the great world are indeed people from the upper kingdom of heaven...

But, at this time, all of these are irrelevant. The only information that Tokichiro filtered out of it was—it seems that he is an "outsider" in this room...

When it was over, he lowered his head like a conditioned reflex, stared at the floor, never dared to look up again, and his heart was full of bitterness.

I hope that I can get in the way, I hope that the three people don’t care about this detail, I hope that he will not react later, and feel ashamed to be tearful in front of an outsider, and then wake up in the middle of the night and let him be dragged out of the house and beheaded now...

When Tokichiro prayed to God and worshipped Buddha, Saito Dozo slowly recovered, and his thoughts returned to reality, but those memories of the past were still flying around in front of his eyes, disturbing him. thinking ability.

The joys and sorrows are mixed, and it is hard to restrain myself, not only the joy of seeing my other daughter again, but also immersed in the sadness of the death of the beloved.

Efforts to restrain his emotions, the man looked at his daughter, remembered that she could no longer speak, and suddenly felt more sad and guilty, even if there was nothing wrong with him, but compared with his other daughter's life these years, look again The black-haired girl in front of her clearly has no idea how much she has suffered...

Saito Dozo suddenly felt that he was going to be overwhelmed by that guilt feeling.

"It's been a lot of hard work for you over the years..."

His voice became a little hoarse, but it was very powerful, as if it was not just comforting, but also a kind of guarantee to implement his own will, "Axiu, my daughter! From today on, you don't have to be like before. Just like I promised your mother to take good care of Yilong, I will take good care of you too!"

Tojiro, who lowered his head and didn't dare to look up, listened to this, and couldn't help but envy for a while, he knew it would be like this, but it was also expected.

The black-haired girl raised her head in amazement.

"That's right, we're going back now, the old man is going to let everyone know about this great good thing, yes, we must let the whole Meinong know..."

Saito Dozo muttered to himself, then took a breath, and then immediately reacted, and continued to laugh heroically as if to cover it up, he waved his hand and greeted a few people eagerly, his eyes still only locked On Axiu's body—

"Hahahaha, today is really a good day, let's go, Axiu. Let's go home first, then go home and talk about it! By the way, you are hungry too, I'll have someone prepare..."

He suddenly remembered that Toujiro only entered the city in the evening. Maybe they walked all day and probably didn't eat anything, so he immediately became concerned about it.

At this moment, Saito Michizō is not like the Mino Viper who is known for his ruthlessness, but more like an empty-nest old man who is finally looking forward to the return of his children... The heavy sense of guilt and indebtedness makes him extremely hopeful that he can give this The long-lost daughter makes up for something, no matter what it is, as long as he can do it, he will do it.

However, Hidechiyo didn't seem to know what to do about Saito Michizo's performance, and she looked around in a dazed and subconscious manner.

- With a slight sense of help.

She also knew that this was indeed her father, and everything could be matched... But, but, it was really too sudden, she was completely unprepared, and there was no way to accept such a sudden development at once, no matter it was The enthusiasm shown by the other party at this moment is still the arrangement that the other party said.

——Let the whole Mino... know?

——And going home... How could she take that castle tower as her home all of a sudden? !

So even though Saito Michizō was very excited and extremely hopeful, but at this moment, her heart was full of subconscious resistance and rejection.

"Cough, Dao three people, listen to me first..."

At this time, Gu Mo finally stood up and smoothed the game. He coughed softly, put his hand into a fist and placed it on his chin. Seeing that the attention of the two of them was diverted, he continued to talk in a leisurely manner. .

"That's right, I understand your feelings, but have you ever thought that all this is a bit sudden? Axiu didn't know about it before, even if she knew that you were her father, but to her, you were also Very unfamiliar, someone I just met today, do you want to give her some time to get used to it..."

There is no way to accept it immediately, this is normal, and he doesn't want to see the girl in such a difficult situation.

Anyway, it's enough to know this matter, and it's good not to leave any regrets in the future, but you don't have to force it to accept it immediately, anyway, there is still time... Besides, even if Axiu can't accept it immediately, can Saito Dosan be able to deny it this thing?

Impossible, so - in fact, the result is not bad.

However.

"……who are you!"

Saito Michizane looked at this hairy boy expressionlessly, and after staring at the other party for a while, he suddenly asked so unceremoniously, his eyebrows raised.

He had no reason to think that this guy was really annoying. He actually called his precious daughter so close. Is Axiu also someone you can call him!

This is because the pearl of the palm, which has been lost for many years, has been recovered. The strong joy and heavy guilt are intertwined, and the effect of compensation psychology makes Saito Dozo want to double make up for Hidechiyo, and at the same time, it also aggravates his worries about losing again. Vigilance and resistance, and the young man in front of him seems to be the hateful guy who will take Axiu away...

——So just in an instant, he felt that Gu Mo's face became disgusting, and it was not pleasing to the eye.

"..."

"..."

Come on, you didn't remember it at all, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, Gu Mo maintained a cracked smile on his face: "My name is Gu Mo, it's Axiu..."

"Okay, don't say it...I remembered it!" Saito Dosan waved his hand impatiently, interrupting his words roughly, this kid is really annoying, and it's still a show! He took a deep breath and glanced at some girls who didn't know what to do next to him.

But although I hate it, if Axiu likes it, then it's not good for him to act too arbitrary and rude...

He just wanted to make up for his responsibilities and be a good father. If he just met Axiu and ignored Axiu's thoughts and acted according to his own preferences, it would only make Axiu sad. The opposite is true.

He glared at Gu Mo fiercely, causing the latter to be inexplicable, and then Saito Dozo once again showed a very gentle and kind smile, and said to Xiuchiyo:

"Well, it's because of my father's lack of consideration... We're not in a hurry, we're not in a hurry, let's follow your ideas, Axiu, and when you're willing to accept it, we'll talk about it... But let's go back to the Tianshou first. How about the pavilion, I can't let you live in such a place."

He seemed to be asking the girl's opinion carefully, and at the same time glanced around. The longhouse could only be said to be clean, but it was nothing to ask for.

He was used to living a hard life before, and of course he didn't think there was any problem, but that meant he had no problems, but he absolutely couldn't accept that the pearl of his hand, which he regarded as a treasure, stayed in such a place.

Hidechiyo is still a little hesitant, but she has such a personality that she is easy to talk to strangers, let alone the father she just recognized. Since the other party is willing to take a step back and express that she doesn't like it, everything can be negotiated , then she is not good at being stubborn.

Saito Michizō, who had successfully persuaded his daughter, burst into a wide-eyed smile and hurriedly walked ahead to lead the way, not forgetting to give someone another vicious look when passing by.

"You... come together, keep up!"

This pit viper seemed to be reluctant to leave such a sentence, then walked out without looking back, and said diligently beside the black-haired girl with a smile, as if it was urgent. Seize every moment to make up for family affection and mistakes.

"..."

"..."

"Phew... I'm saved."

Tojiro, who was motionless in the long house, finally wiped the sweat on his forehead. His face was a little pale, his legs were a little weak, but his eyes were relieved. It seems that the three people did not plan to care Things that go wrong in front of oneself.

But after the panic was over, excitement followed, he couldn't hide his excitement and looked at the young man beside him with envy in his eyes: "Brother Gu Mo, you are really lucky, you have a relationship with Miss Axiu, The three Daoists will definitely treat you differently, and you will definitely rise to prominence in the future, then...don't forget about me, Uncle!"

"emmmm...adding eyes together?"

Gu Mo frowned, as if it was true, that bad old man seemed to be normal to others, even when he looked at himself, he seemed to be staring at himself.
