Chapter 158
"Hmm? Let me go to Taoshan?"
Less than two days after returning from Butterfly House, Qingxi was called over by Beiming Island Xingming. She thought something happened, but it turned out that she was asked to go to Taoshan, which made her feel confused.
Beiming Island Xingming nodded. "Although we have always exchanged letters, my patrol area does not include the area near Taoshan, so I haven't visited them for a long time. This time, Aki, I hope you can go check on Youta, Xiang, and Airi for me."
Qingxi suddenly realized, "I see."
However, she still felt that something was a little strange at that time, but after rereading Xing Ming's words and making sure that there was no problem, she put this issue behind her.
"What, what? Master, are you getting ready to go out again?" Tsurumaru Kuninaga, who happened to be passing by, came closer. He didn't forget to flap his wings up and down while jumping, which looked so childish.
He came closer to the two of them and said, "This time, I want to go too."
Kiyoki, who had originally planned to let Jiro take her, and if that didn't happen, he would take Yagen Toushirou with him, so they could go together: "..."
Seeing the girl's silence, Tsurumaru Kuninaga couldn't stand it any longer, "I knew it would be like this, Master, are you planning to take Yagen Toushirou out to play alone again?
I say, Master, don’t just fly in the sky with Yaoyan because he has the body of a teenager and is easy to carry.
Crane, I would be jealous too.
So, you must remember to “treat everyone equally”!!!
Qingxi: "...Isn't it just that I didn't take you out to play a few times, Tsurumaru, can't you speak more seriously?"
Tsurumaru Kuninaga: "I don't care, I don't care. This time, I want to go with you."
After a pause, he added, "Call Xiao Jialuo and Horikawa."
Qingxi: "..." You have a family to support.
In the end, with Tsurumaru Kuninaga's persistence and Beimei Yumei's statement that he could be alone at home, Qingxi set off with her four sword men and a crow above her head.
Oh, no, there's also a Taro-nyan among them who came with them.
Qingxi traveled far away from home very rarely in this era, and to be honest, the experience was not very good every time.
It was either a typhoon or a rainstorm, if it wasn't a rainstorm then she'd encounter a ghost and then get wet in the rain, if it wasn't a ghost then get wet in the rain then the season wasn't suitable for going out, so she was in a bad mood the whole time when she went on this long journey.
Fortunately, this time, she had a smooth journey. There was no typhoon, no wind or rain, and no ghosts. She arrived safely in the small town at the foot of Taoshan Mountain.
Seeing that the sky was about to set, Qingxi decisively said, "Let's find a hotel to rest. We'll buy some things in town tomorrow and then go up the mountain."
She was very tired after walking and riding in a bullock cart.
By the way, she was also worried that with so many people going up the mountain, there wouldn't be enough space for them to rest at the home of the former Sound Pillar, Mr. Kuwashima. In order not to trouble others to clean up the house in a hurry when it was almost dark, and in order to have a good night's rest, she chose not to put herself in a difficult position.
The five of them stayed in a hotel in the small town. The hotel also provided a dinner and breakfast for the next morning. So after Qingxi washed herself thoroughly and soaked in the public women's bath in the hotel, she went back to her rest room and lay down.
Until the boss's wife brought her dinner, she got up and ate, then brought the empty dishes back. She still didn't do anything else and continued to lie down and rest.
After a good night's sleep, the five people had breakfast in the hotel and left. They walked around the town and bought a lot of things that Qingxi thought could be used by everyone living in the mountains. Then the five people left the town and walked along the path up the mountain.
"There are so many peach trees on this mountain." Tsurumaru Kuninaga said leisurely as he walked, his hands crossed behind his head. "We didn't see many when we were at the foot of the mountain, but now that we're at the foot of the mountain, we see quite a few."
Horikawa Kuninaga looked up, his hand resting on his forehead. "It seems that from here to the mountainside, this whole area is covered with peach trees. No wonder it is called Taoshan."
Wearing black leather gloves, Yagen Toushirou gently touched the small, green peaches the size of balls on the peach tree nearest him. "They'll be ripe in a month or two. What will they do with the peaches we pick then?"
"They should be transported to the town down the mountain to sell," Qingxi said. "Every year when peaches are ripe, Yangtai and his friends send some dried peaches over. Those that haven't been processed much and are more authentic are delicious. Fresh peaches are definitely delicious too, and they're very sweet."
If peaches like these were brought down to the town below the mountain and sold, they would probably be very popular with bakeries, Japanese confectionery shops, and people who love peaches."
"But the town is still a little small," said Yagen Toushirou. "There's a large peach orchard here."
"If we can't finish them, we can make them into dried peaches and sell them." Tsurumaru Kuninaga lowered his arm from behind his head and touched his stomach. "By the way, we helped eat them too."
Momoyama is a bit big, but the five people didn't come here with any particularly important mission, so they didn't feel tired or impatient along the way. They even turned to the Honmaru while chatting and found some beautiful scenery.
However, this relaxed atmosphere was soon broken by someone who suddenly appeared.
"Wu ...
The boy's crying was particularly loud, and the content of his crying was particularly destructive to people's worldview. The four people who had noticed him and had put their hands on the hilt of the knife in an attacking posture, ready to draw the knife, froze in place, their faces full of disbelief.
It feels like a scalper saying, "I thought you were my enemy, but now you come out to propose to me?"
This is... too ridiculous, isn't it?
The most important thing is, who are you? Our master/general doesn’t even know you, and you are crying so miserably as if our master/general is a scumbag who abandoned you.
Qingxi, with someone kneeling down and grabbing her arms, felt like she was going to die, especially when the boy in front of her with short yellow hair had tears and snot on his face and was rubbing them against her.
Seeing that the long, shiny snot was about to stick to his body, Qingxi finally reacted and reached out to press his face and push it away, "Calm down."
"Wow wow wow, please, please marry me." Qingxi's voice was directly filtered out by the other party. With hair the color of a little sun, the boy desperately pushed his face, which was being pushed outward, towards her.
This inexplicable tug-of-war made the four sword masters feel funny and at the same time, a little indescribable.
Tsurumaru Kuninaga didn't immediately go up to stop them. Instead, he touched his chin with his hand, a thoughtful look on his face. He muttered, "I don't know why, but this scene makes me feel like I've seen it somewhere before."
"You too?" Yagen Toushirou said, adjusting his glasses. "It seems normal to encounter such things after coming to Momoyama."
"Hey! Me too!" Tsurumaru Kuninaga exclaimed in shock.
Then the two of them turned their eyes to the boy who was still clinging to their master and refused to let go.
So, who is he?
"Well, no matter who it is, let's pull him away first." After saying this, Yagen Toushirou stretched out his hand wearing a black leather glove, grabbed the back of the boy's collar, and carried him away while he was stunned.
Kunihiro Horikawa stood in front of Kiyoki and protected her against himself.
Finally escaping the marriage maniac's bombardment of shameless proposals, Qingxi breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, she felt that Rengoku Kyojuro's confession to her a few days ago had become so handsome and adorable.
"Zenitsu, what big shock have you received?" Qingxi asked, leaning slightly sideways and sticking his head out from behind Horikawa Kunihiro.
She really didn't dare to walk out from behind Horikawa Kunihiro and stand in front of the yellow-haired boy to talk to him as if nothing had happened. She was afraid that he would rush towards her again in excitement.
Zenitsu Agatsuma, who was crying miserably, stopped sniffing his nose and looked hopefully in the direction of Kiyoki with his two poached-egg eyes.
"Woo wow, young lady, have you heard of my name? Are you going to marry me just because I'm pitiful? Wow wow wow wow wow, you are truly a kind and beautiful lady.
Don't worry, after we get married, I will work hard to open more fields and grow more crops so that you can live a good life."
Qingxi: “…”
Daikurigara silently pushed Qingxi's protruding head back behind Horikawa Kunihiro.
Horikawa Kunihiro had a wry smile on his face, one that was either awkward or embarrassing, and he said dryly, "This guy just won't listen to anything else."
"Or, just knock him out and carry him back to the mountain." Tsurumaru Kuninaga came up with a bad idea.
Otherwise, he would be very painful if his views were always being influenced by his remarks about marriage.
Qingxi felt that this was not a good idea. If it continued like this, he would not have to go up the mountain today.
Thinking this, she walked out from behind Horikawa Kunihiro.
"Master." Horikawa Kunihiro wanted to stop him, his delicate face full of disapproval.
Although it may not be nice to say this, he really felt that the boy in front of him was poisonous. He was worried that his master would be poisoned and then go in an uncontrollable direction.
"It's okay, it will be fine soon." After comforting the young man, Qingxi slowly walked to Zenitsu Agatsuma, who was still being held by the collar by Yagen Toushirou.
Pah! !
He raised both hands and slapped the crying boy on the face.
"Ouch, it hurts so much."
Looking at the boy who was holding his face with his hands and looking miserable, Qingxi took a deep breath and asked, "Zenitsu, are you awake now?"
The girl looked a little serious. My wife. Weak and helpless. Zenitsu sniffed and nodded.
"Then do you know who I am?" the girl continued to ask.
Agatsuma Zenitsu continued to shake his head.
Qingxi smiled sweetly, "Let me introduce myself first. I'm Qingxi, and I'm... Youta, Xiang, and Airi's older sister."
