sleepless night

The girl ten years ago was 11 years old.As the last member of the Eizo Odoriyama Hercules Dongkong Clan, carrying on his back the double sword Hammer, one of the twelve complete variant swords of Shikizaki Kiki, who has been guarded by the clan, he arrived at the santu shrine sheltered by the shogunate less than one month, I saw that woman.

that.A terrible woman who killed everyone in her family.Although the memory is extremely vague, one can be sure with just one glance that the lifeless weak woman hugged by the black doctor Ju Qiaoqi is indeed the demon that slaughtered 210 members of the Dongkong family that night.

Up to now, I still remember the petite woman standing on top of the piles of corpses in the blood-stained moonlight, the emerald green kimono that was not stained by blood at all, and the pair of deep purple eyes without emotion.

The 11-year-old girl Dong Kong Fenxue, Kong has strength and dexterity, has no relatives, no friends, and stays alone in the deserted snow mountain, but is rescued by the biological brother of the enemy of the Tu clan, and arrives in a brand new place , before he really started a new life, he once again met the demon that made him have nightmares every night.

She didn't cry or get angry, but quietly looked at Mr. Heiju with her clearest eyes in the world, and asked, "Do you want to save her?"

She remembered that Mr. Orange just smiled gently, and asked: "Fenxue doesn't want me to save her. Although she wants to die, she is Qihua's sister no matter what. I want to save her, and it's my fault." please me."

"Brother Qihua and sister Jiu'er?" The young Fenxue stared at the woman who seemed to be dead for a long time, looking seriously.Then he said, "The person I don't forgive is Brother Qihua's sister. But she is dead. If she comes back to life, then she is no longer Brother Qihua's sister, and I forgive her too."

Although the words were illogical and sounded weird, Mr. Orange still smiled gently and nodded.

But the woman never woke up again.

Mr. Orange said that she was evading the fact that she was still alive.Originally, he wanted to die wholeheartedly, so even if the body was revived, the soul would still not admit to being alive.

Fenxue listened to Mr. Ju's story about this woman bit by bit.About her and Qihua's father's injury, about her mother's death, about the pain of being unable to display talents, about the sorrow of not being able to do anything, about Jianjigu, about the illness of [-] million people, about the single-minded desire to die .

Even though the young Fenxue couldn't fully understand everything, she began to gradually understand that this woman was not as scary as she first thought, but rather pitiful.Although she was still afraid of the woman who seemed to never open her eyes, slowly, she also began to feel distressed.Although Fenxue, who didn't have too many worries, didn't know exactly what she was distressed about, but she felt distressed. Looking at the woman's beautiful and lifeless face, she suddenly felt that she wanted her to wake up.

Hope to tell her when she wakes up.Even if she can't find it now, she will definitely be able to tell her the reason for living alone one day in the near future.

Reason enough to keep her alive.

Ten years passed in a blink of an eye.Four seasons change in spring, summer, autumn and winter.Fenxue has also changed from a lively brat to a lively girl.But in the long ten years, that sculpture-like soft puppet with no soul has never opened its eyes.

Until the catastrophe half a month ago.The sea of ​​fire red lotus that came unexpectedly, and the strongest blade standing proudly in the red lotus.

"Fenxue, Mr. Tachibana is looking for you again!" On that day half a month ago, it was no different from every day I spent in Santu Shrine. In the early morning, with the ambiguous smile of the shrine maiden from the same shrine, we welcomed regular customers Mr. Orange.

To be honest, Fenxue really disdains gossip from her friends.Although in the eyes of outsiders, Mr. Orange did come to her frequently.But in fact, they were looking for the woman who had been in a coma.And who the hell would like a big, creepy, sloppy, cowardly dope doctor?

Mr. Tachibana did not come alone this day.He also brought his assistant, Xiaoju.Xiaoju and Mr. Ju are not of the same type at all, they look very slender and weak, with long hair draped around their shoulders, and a pale complexion.Everyone who saw Xiaoju at the first sight would think that he was a frail young man with no strength to restrain him.But the fact is that Xiaoju is Mr. Orange's assistant and bodyguard.Moreover, what is even more shocking is that Xiaoju is a girl!A real girl.

Speaking of which, the burly and huge Mr. Tachibana has no strength to protect himself, and he needs a slender girl to protect him, he is the worst in the world!

At this time, Mr. Tachibana looked nervous, approaching Fenxue cautiously, and didn't mind the full contempt on Fenxue's face, and sneakily whispered to Fenxue: "I heard the gossip from the shogunate today that the general ordered the Santu Shrine to be destroyed!"

"What?!" Fenxue yelled immediately, but fortunately, Mr. Ju quickly covered her mouth without causing a commotion.

"Hush!" Tachibana Qiaoqian nervously made a silent gesture, and whispered softly, "Hush your voice, don't react so much, the general just said that he would destroy the shrine, but he will send away all the witches first. Although if there are The miko who refuses to fight to the death will be executed immediately, but if everyone obeys and leaves, no one will die."

"This is not a problem, okay?" Although Fenxue lowered her voice, she still couldn't hide the overwhelming anger in her heart, "Why did the general suddenly destroy the shrine for no reason? This is everyone's home! Where can those priestesses go after leaving here?"

Ju Qiaoqi sighed slightly, with a rather helpless look on her face: "I guess it is very likely that the news that Qi Shi is hiding here has been leaked, you know, Qi Hua is still wanted by the shogunate, the general attaches great importance to Xu Dao But he has no evidence to prove that Qishi is still alive, so he used this method. But don’t worry, the witches who are sent away will be scattered and arranged in other shrines, and there will be no place to live.”

"That's good. Wait, if that's the case, how do we transport Qishi away?" Fenxue thought of this question just after she breathed a sigh of relief, and her nerves tensed up again in an instant.If the general's goal is Qishi, no matter what method he uses, he probably won't be able to escape the eyes of the shogunate.

Ju Qiaoqi subconsciously touched the stubble on her chin, frowned and thought about it, then sighed: "Although I am very unwilling, the only way I can think of now is to take a risk."

What risk?Powder Snow didn't ask.Because at this time, she had already heard some noisy voices outside the door, probably people from the shogunate had already arrived.

Ju Qiaoqi shook her head at her, left a sentence "You stay here, wait until all the maidens have left before you act", and pulled Xiaoju away.

Although Fenxue didn't know what Mr. Ju's strategy was, she still believed in this timid doctor.Because no matter what, he still saved many witches, and saved Qishi's life.

Except for a few witches who were unwilling to leave and were executed, most of the witches quickly packed their bags and left. After all, most people still cherish life and are afraid of death.

Soon, there were only a few shogunate samurai and slaves left in the shrine to perform official duties. Because Fenxue's room was in the most secret place of the shrine, the samurai set fire to it before they found out that there was no place to investigate.

But for these killer warriors who beheaded hundreds of people every day, taking one or two lives is nothing at all, so it doesn't matter whether there are people in the room or not, just burn them together.

Fenxue held her breath, listening quietly to the voices and footsteps outside the door, she thought she knew what Mr. Orange's plan was now.Although it was a bit risky, she had the confidence that she could last until those people left, and she also believed that the woman who had been sleeping would be fine.

I don't believe it for no reason, maybe it's because the strong image of this woman has been deeply imprinted in her heart.

It's a pity that Fenxue didn't overestimate herself, nor did she overestimate Qishi, but overestimated the strength of the shrine's roof.Before the group of people had all left the roof, it was burnt and collapsed.The smoke immediately filled the room, and Fen Xue immediately frowned.

I'm afraid I won't be able to get out now.Because she is Dong Kong Powder Snow, the snow clan, the Dong Kong clan who is most afraid of heat!Looking at the burning beams in front of him, even if Fenxue is a super strongman, he couldn't get closer to lift the beams away.It really is a bit troublesome.

Fenxue, who was scratching her head in distress, didn't realize that another beam above her head was going to be pressed down in an instant!

In fact, even in the days to come, when Fen Xue recalled that moment, she still couldn't remember clearly.She just felt a gust of cool wind blowing above her head, and then there was a loud sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.When she looked back, she found that the beams on the ground on both sides had beautiful and flat cut marks, and were burning.

After realizing the fact that she was rescued, Fenxue looked at the woman who suddenly woke up without warning.In the light of the burning red lotus, the woman exuding a cold aura all over her body slowly moved her frail and petite body, walking towards her step by step.

The scarlet fear of that night swept across in an instant, and Fenxue was so frightened that she subconsciously closed her eyes.

But soon, she opened it again, for fear of missing that extremely weird but also extremely glamorous picture in her eyes.

The color of the emerald kimono became extremely coquettish under the reflection of the firelight, and the woman's ceramic-like fair skin also looked a little more popular. Confused and confused.

But it doesn't matter, she slowly raised her hand and waved it down!

The beams and doors in front of Fenxue were all torn apart, and the wind from outside rushed in violently in an instant!

This is the only time in Dongkong Powder Snow's 21-year life that she doesn't feel the heat and sound from the outside world, and all five senses are concentrated on one point.Incomparably, incomparably focused on this and that.Yes.That figure, the ruthless sword standing in the red lotus, will be engraved in her heart for eternity from now on!
