"...Can you tell us a little bit about that girl? Shin-chan?"
After A Miao said this, Jiang Cheng and others glanced in the direction of Xin Bajiu unconsciously. No one made any sound, just waiting quietly for Xin Bajiu to speak.
After about ten seconds of silence, Xin Bajiu, who had his head lowered and no expression visible, slowly spoke in a low voice.
"About a month ago, she...wanted to commit suicide..."
—Exclusive dividing line for new eight-year-old memories—
One morning a month ago, Xinbajiu got up early that day, said hello to A Miao, and then went out from home to the Wanshiwu House without even eating breakfast.
"The weather is not bad," Xin Bajia, who was walking slowly towards the Wanshiwu House, raised his head and glanced at the clear sky, sighing from the bottom of his heart, and then couldn't help but smile and said to himself: "But Kagura-chan and Gin-san must still be lying in bed, even in this weather."
But just as he said that, Shinpachi suddenly noticed something out of the corner of his eye. It was a building a little far away from Shinpachi and closer to the center of Edo. A small black shadow on the roof was slowly moving. Moving towards the edge of the building.
And because it was the morning rush hour, not many people would look up and pay attention to the movement on a building like that. Therefore, except for the current Xin Baji, no one noticed the movement on that building.
"That...that's it!" Sensing something, Xin Baji burst out without any hesitation, gritted his teeth and ran towards the building as fast as he could.
As Xinbajiu got closer and closer to the building, even though the floor was very high, Xinbajiu gradually saw the figure upstairs clearly. It was a girl with long hair who could not see her face clearly. !
"Call the police! Someone is going to jump off the building!" Xin Bajia rushed into the building. Without taking a breath, he shouted directly to the staff at the door: "It's upstairs! Call the police!"
Seeing the panting and anxious Shinbaji in front of him, the belated staff member was stunned for a while before he quickly responded and trotted to one side.
Looking at the staff member who seemed to be a security guard who was talking on the walkie-talkie, Xin Baji felt agitated for no reason and cursed: "Can you call the police faster?! That girl is going to commit suicide. !”
Without waiting for the staff member to reply, Xinbaji rushed directly to the elevator on the first floor. After pressing the switch, Xinbaji discovered that the display on the elevator button actually showed that it had stopped at the twentieth floor.
"No wait!" Xin Bajia, who didn't see the elevator descending after waiting for ten seconds, was heartbroken, turned around and rushed towards the stairs on the side.
At the same time, Xin Baji also heard the sound of police cars coming from outside the door, as well as the whispers of the crowd who had gathered around him.
…
After kicking open the door to the rooftop on the top floor, a breathless Xin Baji finally appeared.
After hearing the noise behind her, the girl who had just prepared herself mentally to jump downstairs turned her head to look at the sweating Shinpachi who was panting heavily.
"Stop!" Xin Bajiu tried his best to stabilize his condition and shouted to the girl.
The girl shook her head slightly, then turned around again, ready to take the final step.
In the moment just now, Shinbaji saw the girl's lifeless eyes and the faint smile of relief on her face that was clearly ready to face death.
"Stop!" Xin Baji shouted again and took two steps forward, "Don't do that stupid thing! There are still many people in the world who are worried about you! Think about yourself My parents and friends, don’t give up so quickly!”
But just as Xin Baji finished speaking, a gust of evil wind suddenly blew, exerting a force on Xin Baji who was already exhausted but still struggling to prevent himself from falling.
As soon as his feet became unsteady, Xinbaji was blown to the side of the rooftop by the wind. Although I wanted to stand up straight, the fatigue caused by the huge amount of exercise suddenly came over me.
[Oops...] Shinbachi, eroded by fatigue, slowly closed his eyes.
But at the last moment, when Xin Baji's eyes were about to close completely, Xin Baji felt his hand suddenly being pulled.
[It's...it's her...] In the last moment before he fell into coma, Shinbaji clearly saw the girl's appearance.
Afterwards, in a daze, Xinbaji heard the sound of the door being broken in and the shouts of many people.
…
When Xin Baji woke up again, it was already half an hour later. At this time, Xin Baji found that he was lying on the rooftop. The girl was squatting on the ground next to him, hugging her legs and staring at him.
"They said you fainted because you didn't have breakfast and exercised so hard." The girl's voice was very soft.
———
"... Just like that, I saved her life..."
"On the contrary, right? She saved you, right?" Jiang Cheng corrected speechlessly.
"That day, the two of us talked a lot on the rooftop," Xinbaji continued, minding his own business. "After hearing my lame complaint, she laughed very happily. She said it was very interesting and she liked it very much. "
Saying that, Xin Baji closed his eyes, and at the same time, big tears rolled down Xin Baji's cheeks again, "But, we can no longer meet...she is going back to her hometown, sit today Late Shinkansen…”
After that, there was another long silence...
"Well..." Gintoki put his elbows on the table and his cheeks with his palms, and said suddenly, "If I go to see her, can I still make it in time?"
"But I have been sent to the good guy card..." Xin Bajia wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, lowered his head and said a little disappointed.
"It's okay." Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes and smiled, then turned to look at A Miao.
"Because," A Miao took over, narrowed her eyes and looked at Xin Bajia with a smile, "You know, girls are the most afraid of trouble, especially when they go out to meet someone when they move, this is the most troublesome thing. Something happened."
"Sister...sister..." Xin Bajia couldn't help but opened his eyes wide, looking at A Miao in disbelief.
"Besides, isn't there something that you want to see the most but haven't seen yet?" Kondo folded his hands and closed his eyes and said solemnly: "That girl's smile, right? Shinpachi-kun."
After hearing this, Xinbaji suddenly clenched his fists and stood up while supporting the table.
"Sister, Yin Sang, Jiang Cheng Sang, and everyone, I'm sorry, I have to excuse you." After saying that, Xin Baji turned around and opened the door of the private room and rushed out.
It wasn't until Xin Baji's back disappeared from everyone's sight that everyone smiled in unison.
"In this case, Xinjiang will definitely be able to grow." A Miao murmured.
"No!" Jiang Cheng suddenly slapped the table and stood up.
Everyone looked at Jiang Cheng.
"I..." As he said this, Jiang Cheng raised his head and laughed innocently, "I didn't bring my wallet today, so I'll leave first! The last one is here to treat me!"
After saying that, Jiang Cheng directly took Yue Yong's feet and rubbed oil on them and rushed out towards the door.
"Asshole!" Gintoki, who suddenly had veins popping out, cursed, grabbed Kagura and rushed towards the door.
"A Miao, we also..." As he said that, Jiubingwei pulled up A Miao and quickly followed in the direction where everyone was leaving.
Just a few seconds passed, and only Kondo and Kozaru, who had not yet reacted, were left in the entire private room.
"Well..." After a long silence, Kondo lowered his head and said expressionlessly, "Even if there is only one person left, can you join me?"
Little Ape:…
…
Looking at the open tram door in front of her, the girl hesitated for a long time before pulling up her suitcase and walking in with her head lowered.
But just when the girl stepped into the tram door, she suddenly heard a rush of footsteps getting closer and closer behind her, and she immediately turned her head.
Looking at Xin Baji, who stopped suddenly in front of him, bending over and lowering his head and panting, a flash of surprise flashed in the girl's eyes.
At this time, the announcement that the train was about to start sounded. The girl let go of the suitcase, clenched her fists and put them on her chest, tears welling up in her eyes instantly.
"Xin...Xin Baji-kun, I..."
"Finally... we meet again!" Xin Bajia raised his head and grinned with a big smile.
Seeing Xin Baji's expression, the girl couldn't hold back her tears any longer. Big tears fell down her cheeks. The girl covered her mouth and tried not to cry out. But the sobbing couldn't stop.
During the month she spent with Xin Baji, scenes of beautiful memories kept flashing through the girl's mind. At this moment, the girl really wanted to take a step forward, throw herself into Shinpachi's arms and cry, but she held back...
"What's going on? That look on your face," Xin Baji raised his index finger and put one hand on his hip, pretending to complain exaggeratedly, "Does it mean that you can't laugh after you leave me? Then I really It will be very distressing. Yes, even wearing glasses will be very distressing!"
The girl's tears instantly burst into tears...
"Laugh!" The corners of Xin Bajia's eyes gradually became moist, but even so, he still forced the corners of his mouth to reveal an unsightly smile, "Just laugh like usual! Don't cry! Laugh! Laugh and live. Get down!"
The girl turned her face slightly, covered her chest, no longer suppressed her voice, and howled loudly.
At this moment, the tram door slowly closed, and at the same time the tram started slowly. The girl wiped her tears, put her hand on the tram door, and looked out the window through the glass window on the door.
Outside the window of the tram is Shinpachi running desperately, making faces one after another.
The speed of the tram is getting faster and faster, and it is obvious that Shinpachi can no longer keep up, and is about to catch up to the end of the platform.
[no! Haven’t seen it yet!]Xin Baji gritted his teeth and used all his strength to chase after him.
When Xin Baji caught up with the door again at the end of the platform, he raised his head and wanted to make another grimace, but suddenly he saw the girl... smiling at him...
Shinpachi stopped at the end of the platform, took a deep breath and shouted loudly at the passing tram: "Thank you!! And goodbye!!"
After saying that, Xinbaji lay down directly on the ground, breathing heavily, and then grinned easily, and of course, there were tears...
…
On the tram, the girl leaned against the tram door with her head lowered, her right hand tightly grasping her left wrist, her shoulders twitching constantly, and silent tears flowing freely.
After a closer look, you will find that the girl is wearing a wristband on her left wrist. There is a pattern on the wristband that is unclear whether it is the number 8 or glasses.
Xinbaji will not know these things, let alone the deep wound on the girl's skin under the wrist guard...
…
Late at night, an abandoned building in the suburbs of Edo.
Several hooligans wearing sunglasses and sly eyebrows who didn't look like good people gathered together and talked excitedly.
"Country girls are so easy to fool, and they actually made so much money for us, not only from magazines, but also from those AVs, net profit, net profit, hahaha..."
"That's right. As long as there is a slight threat, I don't even dare to resist. But it's such a pity for that girl. She actually chose to cut her wrists. There are scars on her skin and she can't use them anymore. It's really true."
"Tomorrow, after selling the ones we took before and sell them to magazines, we can start looking for new targets again. The thing Edo is most in need of are those country girls."
"It looks like you are really happy. With such a profitable business, do you want to take me with you?" Gintoki's unmotivated voice sounded behind these gangsters.
"Who?!" Several gangsters stood up instantly and took out their pistols and pointed them at Gintoki.
"Don't be so excited," Gintoki flicked the boogers on his little finger and stared at his dead fish eyes with no motivation at all. He waved his hand and said, "I'm not a weird guy anymore. I just want to join you."
"And I," Jiang Cheng's voice sounded from the other side, "After all, it's such a profitable business, I'm really itchy, right? Yueyue."
"That's right, it feels like it's even bigger than Yoshihara's profit." Yue Yong said calmly.
"The Yagyu family, number one in the world, couldn't hold it any longer when they heard about such a profitable business." Kyubei's voice came.
"The ninja also wants to get involved." The little ape's voice came from above.
"Really? Are you all so interested?" Kondo's voice came, "Then I can only bring you all back to the Shinsengumi. Doesn't it matter?"
"Really... really choosing a team?!" All the gangsters were a little panicked for a moment.
"It seems that everyone has the same nose." Jiang Cheng chuckled, then pulled out the umbrella from his waist, "Then, there is nothing more to say."
"This incident is special. Don't think that I will award you the Good Citizen Award!" After Kondo shouted, everyone rushed towards the dozens of gangsters.
"No need!"
…
The next day, Jiangcheng, who had bought the game from Akihabara, passed by Master House on the way.
After hearing the usual noise from Wan Shi Wu, Jiang Cheng raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance, curled his lips, and murmured softly.
"As expected...it's best this way."
