Chapter 131
Giyu Tomioka originally wanted to carry Qingxi directly to the room where she was resting, but at this time some of the little girl's problems came up.
"No, I need to shower first." The girl, lying in the young man's arms, groaned listlessly. "I've been flying around all night and I'm covered in sweat and dust. How can I even get into bed?"
Tomioka Giyu paused, but if it came to taking a bath, he was in a dilemma. He was a man and it was impossible for him to help the other person take a bath.
Perhaps she knew the other party was in trouble, so she said, "Go find Kanao and Aoi, they can help me."
Qingxi, who had once been carried to the bathroom and then stripped naked and made to take a bath in the bathtub, now felt no pressure at all when talking about finding someone to help her take a bath.
With a clear goal in mind, Giyu Tomioka acted quickly and found someone to hand Qingxi over to them.
Before being carried away, Qingxi suddenly grabbed the hem of his haori. When he looked over, she made a bitter face and said in a tangled manner, "Yakuen and I didn't return home on time today. Xingming, Tsurumaru, and Mr. Daikuri must be worried. Mr. Tomioka, could you help me find Jiro and fly back to tell him he's safe?"
It's just a small favor. Tomioka Giyu nodded, "I understand."
Qingxi opened his mouth and said, "No, no, no, you don't know."
I'm worried that you won't help? I'm worried that you can't let Jiro take the message of "we're fine" back home properly, and then make the people at home even more worried, and then come to kill us or something...
This kind of thing is not impossible.
No, I should say that because it's you, Mr. Tomioka, this situation is really easy to happen.
However, looking at Tomioka Giyu's expressionless face, she didn't know how to explain it to him.
She always feels that even if she explains it to him, he will still give her an expression that says "I really don't understand" or "Isn't what I meant clear enough?"
She shook her head, forced a stiff smile, and said dryly, "Then please."
Qingxi gave up and was carried to the bathroom by Kanzaki Aoi and Kurika Ryokanai. She washed up inside and when she was carried out again, she saw the black-haired boy standing under the eaves nearby. A hint of surprise appeared on her sleepy face. She asked curiously, "Mr. Tomioka, you haven't gone home yet?"
Tomioka Giyu approached the girl, who was wearing a loose yukata and had long black hair scattered behind her head because it had also been washed. Suddenly, he picked her up again. To the surprise of the three, he nodded to Shenqi Aoi and Lihua Luo Kanai, then carried her towards the crow house.
Looking at the figure of the boy holding the girl and disappearing around the corner, Kanzaki Aoi was confused. She asked the girl beside her blankly, "Ah, that, isn't it said that Aki and that Mr. Rengoku are childhood sweethearts?" Moreover, they are going to get married in the future.
But, but, what did I see?
Water, what about the Water Pillar and Aki?
Could it be that he likes Axi too?
Kanzaki Aoi opened her eyes wide. What kind of Demon Slayer Corps gossip was this?
Lord Water Pillar, Lord Flame Pillar's eldest brother and Lord Rock Pillar's "daughter"... Oh, she knew, this is #discussing the family affairs between the three pillars#, #what should I do if my little daughter is too attractive to others#.
...Oh, by the way, there are also Mr. Yaken and Mr. Iguro, they both seem to have a slightly different feeling towards Aki.
As if she had discovered some shocking news, Kanzaki Aoi felt that she could not eat more and was about to die of stuffing.
She thought about it silently in her mind, and then she discovered another point. Except for Mr. Purgatory, the hair color of everyone else was black... So, does that mean Ah Xi likes boys with black hair?
However, it is also possible that Mr. Purgatory became the protagonist because his hair color is the most "outstanding" among them.
But, but, it seems possible that Mr. Iguro and Mr. Yaken are also related. Isn't it often written in literature about young ladies from wealthy families falling in love with poor boys who have nothing?
So, who does she support?
The more Kanzaki Aoi thought about it, the more excited she became. However, when she came to her senses and saw Kurihana Ryokanai's face turned into dotted eyes, she came back to her senses in shock.
He suddenly raised his hands and slapped his face hard.
"What the hell is this?" she reflected in her mind.
Is now the time to gossip?
Kanae is still seriously injured, Shinobu was just knocked unconscious by Mr. Yakuken because he thought she was in the way, and now I don’t know what to do with the ward on the first floor... In short, concentrate and don’t think about other things at this critical moment! ! !
"Shanahu!" She took her hand and said, "Come on, we still have a lot of things to do."
Kurihana Ryokanai, who had no idea what Kanzaki Aoi was thinking the entire time, exclaimed: "..."
She wants to go to Sister Chanehui's place...
.
When Tomioka Giyu was halfway back to the house with Kiyoki in his arms, he paused, tilted his head slightly, and looked down. The person in his arms had fallen asleep with her forehead against his neck. His gaze shifted slightly and fell on the right hand with half of the arm exposed. At this moment, the right hand was still shaking uncontrollably even when its owner was asleep. He couldn't help but frown, and put a hand on her arm before he raised his foot and continued walking.
When he carried the sleeping Qingxi to the room where she used to rest, he was suddenly in trouble.
The room was empty and there was nothing in it.
It was only then that he suddenly remembered that Qingxi always brought all her belongings with her every time she came to live here, but now there was no quilt or mattress in the room, and she didn't even have anything to cover herself with.
Tomioka Giyu: “…”
After a while, he put the girl on the tatami and covered her with his haori... The weather is not cold now, so it should be okay to cover her like this... right?
After thinking about it silently in his heart, he put the matter behind him.
He took another look at Qingxi, who had changed from sleeping flat on his back to sleeping on his side with his haori-danban-danban in his arms. Tomioka Giyuu withdrew his gaze and went over to close the shoji door.
The room was stuffy in the summer, and he had originally thought of leaving the shoji door open for some ventilation, but seeing her sleeping posture... forget it, a girl's reputation is more important.
With the shoji doors closed, Tomioka Giyuu began to walk slowly along the long corridor.
He didn't know which room Yagen Toshiro took Kocho Kanae to for treatment, but it didn't matter. He was not worried at all because he would find her as long as he found Rengoku Makijuro and Fuzugawa Minoru.
And it turned out that his idea was not wrong.
"Hmm, how is Axi?" Two people who were standing outside a rest house like two door gods heard the noise and looked towards the source of the sound. They saw Tomioka Giyu and Rengoku Makijuro and asked.
Tomioka Giyu replied calmly, "She went to take a shower. When I took her to rest, she fell asleep halfway through and is still sleeping now."
Rengoku Makijuro was about to nod subconsciously, but suddenly he paused, and the look in his eyes became complicated.
"You--" Rengoku Makijuro opened his mouth, but in the end only this one sound came out.
Tomioka Giyuu tilted his head: "?"
Rengoku Makijuro waved his hand, "No, it's nothing, please don't worry about it."
Because the person I really care about is not here.
Rengoku Makijuro was in mixed emotions.
How can an old father help his son find a good wife when he is away on a mission?
The conversation between the two men came to an end, and the space suddenly became awkward. After the three grown men looked at each other, they turned their attention back to the person in the room who was being treated with all their strength.
The three of them waited for a long time, until the people from the Butterfly House brought the food here, they seemed to realize that it was already noon.
At this moment, Yagen Toushirou in the room packed up all the medical equipment at hand, stood up and slowly walked out of the room.
"How is the person?" Fuzukawa Miya asked while holding up the clothes on Yagen Toushirou's chest.
"You're out of danger for now. The rest of the time, we'll have to rely on more medical staff to take care of you." Yagen Toushirou lowered his eyes to the two hands grabbing his clothes on his chest.
Busei Miyabi let go of his hand, and the expression on his face and the way he looked at people were much better than before.
"I'm going to get some medicine now, this way..." He paused.
"Leave this to me and Kanao, Mr. Yaken." Shenqi Aoi and Lihua Luo Kanao were waiting quietly on the side. Now, when they heard what Yaken Toushirou said, they immediately spoke up to take over the job.
Yagen Toushirou nodded at them, then repeated a series of instructions to the two of them. Then he left, preparing to wash up briefly and then go to eat and rest.
.
Qingxi slept until dark.
She hesitated for a moment, then shouted weakly into the air, "Is anyone there? If so, please let me know."
As she finished her words, a squeak came from next door.
"Tsurumaru." Qingxi called without thinking.
After all, there is only one person around me who can play with me without any scruples.
Not long after Qingxi's voice fell, a rustling sound was heard from next door. After a while, someone knocked on the shoji door on her side from outside.
Qingxi said without changing his posture: "Come in."
The shoji door was opened from the outside. Before the other party could speak again, Qingxi couldn't wait to speak, "Tsurumaru, hurry up and give me a hand. My bones hurt from lying down, and I have no strength in my body. I feel very weak."
In the moonlight, Tsurumaru Kuninaga looked at the girl lying on the tatami whose face immediately twisted and he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
He strode in and sat cross-legged next to the girl.
As the girl cried out "ouch" and gasped, he held her in his arms and leaned against her.
"Shhh~ I miss the big soft beds and air conditioning of modern times." Qingxi sat up against Tsurumaru Kuninaga, but she still didn't feel much more comfortable. "In a traditional Japanese-style room, sleeping with a mattress is fine, but sleeping without it is really uncomfortable after a long time. It's terrible... And if I weren't really tired and sleepy today, I would definitely not be able to sleep without a pillow... Oh, this is really uncomfortable. Tsurumaru, why don't you tap my bones for me, use a little force, fight fire with fire, maybe I'll feel better."
Tsurumaru Kuninaga supported the person who was about to lie down and roll around, and listened to her mumbling, with a look of both laughter and tears on his face.
"It's okay to knock on the bones, but I'd better not use a little force. If Yakumi finds out, he'll probably pull out his body and say things like 'I'll pierce you' or 'I'll drive the knife through you even to the hilt'."
Qingxi was a little hesitant, but she still let the other party knock on her.
Although Qingxi didn't turn on the lights and the two of them deliberately lowered their voices, they still woke up the people in the next room.
Looking at the two people, one tall and one short, who walked over here silently, Qingxi said apologetically: "Sorry, I disturbed you."
"Not bad," Yagen Toushirou said, adjusting his glasses. "I rested a bit too much during the day, so I'm not that sleepy right now."
Daikurigala glanced at Tsurumaru Kuninaga and said, "I was just woken up by him."
Qingxi asked them to come in and sit down, with a surprised look on his face: "Is Mr. Daikuri staying in the same room with Tsurumaru today?"
Daikurigara hesitated for a moment, but when he saw that Yagen Toushirou had already walked into the girl's room and sat down, he followed him in.
In response to the girl's question, he explained calmly, "There aren't enough rooms in the Crow House."
Qingxi was stunned for a moment before realizing what he meant.
Regardless of whether the poisonous gas had dissipated or not, the patients originally lying in the ward on the first floor of the Butterfly House were not asked to move back in tonight, so these people were arranged to move to the Crow House. However, there were not enough rooms for rest, so they had to share a room with others.
Yagen Toushirou watched for a while as the girl asked Tsurumaru Kuninaga to pat her back vigorously. He said, "General, let me pat you. You're still growing, and being patted by Tsurumaru like that might affect your development if it's not done properly."
Well, to put it bluntly, he was just worried that if one of them told him to hit hard, the other would actually do it.
Maybe your body feels comfortable, but if something goes wrong, then who will be held responsible for the mistake?
Qingxi shook his head, "It's okay, just let him knock, I think it's fine."
After a pause, she changed the subject and asked, "I'm hungry. Are you hungry?"
The three of them shook their heads together. Unlike her, she would fall into a deep sleep once she fell asleep and would not wake up at all. Even if they took a rest, it would be after having a meal. So it was difficult for Qingxi to find a companion for a meal at this time.
Since no one was eating with her, she ate alone.
It's hot in the summer, and a bowl of vegetarian cold noodles with more vegetables is very good. However, she still took out some tea eggs, braised chicken feet and duck feet, chicken legs and duck legs, and fried tofu and put them there. There will always be a crane that can't help but reach out to take them and eat them.
While eating noodles and watching Tsurumaru Kuninaga chewing his paws, Qingxi thought for a moment and took out a bottle of sake. Tsurumaru Kuninaga saw it, his golden eyes sparkling, and he quickly reached out to take it, "Hey! This is great, I was just about to say that having food but no wine would make eating a small dish a bit boring. Now it's all right, perfect."
"I haven't seen much of the Demon Slayer Corps drinking. Maybe they're worried that drinking will cause trouble, so they don't let you drink too much to prevent you from not being able to get up tomorrow." Qingxi said.
To translate it, it means: I have wine, but I won't let you drink too much. There's only one bottle for tonight. Whether you three drink together or you, Tsurumaru, drink alone, I won't add any more.
Tsurumaru Kuninaga's smiling face instantly fell.
"That's too little." He muttered dissatisfiedly, "I'm not bragging, I can drink a lot."
Qingxi: “…”
Qingxi ignored him and turned her head to ask Yaogen Toushirou: "I fell asleep before, and I don't know how Sister Kanae is doing?"
"It's still in the critical period. I went to see her once before I went to bed at night. It was Miss Shinobu who was taking care of her. It might still be her now." said Yagen Toushirou.
"Then I'll go over and take a look later." Qingxi murmured.
"General, are you planning to stay in the Butterfly House for the next period of time?" asked Yagen Toushirou.
Qingxi nodded, "Yeah, but I plan to go out again tonight."
She has done her best to treat Sister Kanae's injury. As a layman, any doctor in Butterfly House is more professional than her in the later treatment and medication. The only reason she stayed was because Sister Kanae was not awake yet.
The person in charge of Butterfly House is in a coma, and as her younger sister, Butterfly Shinobu is fully focused on treating her sister. Although there is a doctor at Butterfly House, he cannot take on the role of temporary person in charge and suppress the wounded who were sent for treatment. After thinking about it, all she can think of is to stay with Yakumo, Tsurumaru, and Okutari to be the "house guardian".
