Chapter 182
"Ahem."
The sound of a man coughing was heard.
Qingxi was stunned for a moment, and then she jumped away from where she was, frightened like a kitten with a cucumber secretly placed behind its butt, her hair standing on end.
Rengoku Kyojuro: “…” Just, a little cute.
After listening to the entire conversation between the two young people, Beimingyu Xingming said: "..." Where is this place? The ward. Didn't this girl expect that their conversation would be heard by others around them?
In fact, Beiming Island Xingming had a little misunderstanding about Qingxi on this point.
Including Giyu Tomioka, there are a total of four pillars living in the first-floor ward.
In order not to disturb them, the lightly and moderately injured patients who could be moved asked to move to the ward on the second floor. The remaining patients who could not be moved were also seriously injured.
A bunch of seriously injured people were lying there, either unconscious or sleeping. That was why Qingxi had the courage to talk about some private matters with Rengoku Kyojuro in such a public place.
However, she didn't expect that she would be caught red-handed by the head of the family even in this way.
This is a bit embarrassing.
"Okay, okay, okay, Ming, you're awake." The girl asked in a very loud voice.
It looked like he was possessed by Rengoku Kyojuro.
There is no silver here.
These words flashed through Beimingyu Xingming's mind.
"Ashi,"
"Xingming, do you want some water?" Qingxi interrupted the young man and asked again.
Beiming Island Xingming: "..."
Oh!
The girl chuckled softly, and Qingxi got goosebumps. She said, "I heard it too, Axi."
Perhaps thinking that this wouldn't be too depressing for the girl, the man added, "Not only me, but Mr. Tomioka heard it too."
Tomioka Giyu: "18 is too early."
Qingxi: “…”
Beiming Island Xingming: "About 25 years old, I want to keep Axi for a few more years."
Qingxi: “…”
If women get married at 25 in modern times, and men get married at 30, there is absolutely no problem at all.
But according to the current average life expectancy, it is acceptable for women at 25, but not for men at 30.
Because the average life expectancy of men is only 36-42 years.
Have you considered the age difference between the two of you?
There is a 5-year age difference. This age difference is not big, but it is not small either. Could it be that the male owner died shortly after the couple got married?
That's too tragic.
The owl was about to get angry. He grabbed Qingxi's hand and said, "Mmm, Axi."
Looking at the boy who suddenly became vulnerable, and then looking at a group of relatives and friends who transformed into the "Queen Mother", Qingxi suddenly felt that he was in a difficult situation.
She hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "I'm fine with anything. How about you go ask the Lord?"
It is you, my Lord Almighty.
The Demon Slayer Corps arranged her marriage, and she felt that her "father" (emphasis added) would be able to handle it well.
As if inspired by what the girl said, Rengoku Kyojuro's eyes sparkled, "I understand."
Everyone: “…”
Suddenly I felt that the owl from the Purgatory family smiled too brightly.
Feeling that staying here any longer would make her feel extremely embarrassed, she secretly patted the hand that Rengoku Kyojuro was holding, signaling him to let go. As a result, he did let go, but before letting go, he grabbed her hand hard.
Qingxi felt her cheeks getting a little hot.
The head of the family is here, Kyojuro, how could you do this?
No, I should say, Kyojuro, you weren't like this before. Who did you learn this from privately?
Facing the gazes from everyone around her, she timidly said, "You must be hungry. I'll make you a hospital meal."
After saying that, Qingxi resisted the urge to cover her face and ran out of the extremely embarrassing ward like the wind.
After watching the girl run away, everyone turned their gaze away.
"Aki is very timid when it comes to feelings," said Shinobu Kocho.
The person who was one of the protagonists ran away, and then it was time for her relatives and friends to talk to the man.
"Although she usually talks with the female medical staff at the Butterfly House about her future plans, such as finding a good man to marry, she actually cares a lot about her own situation." As a woman, and the female sister who has spent the longest time with Qingxi, Shinobu Kocho analyzed the girl, "You have to know, there is a type of people who are like this. They talk about their own affairs in front of their friends and act like they don't care about their situation, but in their hearts, they actually care a lot.
They care about what people around them think of them, and once they feel that people around them mind them, they will withdraw and run away.
Well, for Aki, she might be very good at this.
After all, she was there as a food hunter. Compared to staying in the city, the wild was where she spent the most time.
With this excuse, it's normal for the relationship with the people you used to interact with to fade away."
She turned her head and looked at Rengoku Kyojuro who was listening quietly. Suddenly, Shinobu Kocho smiled gently, and it seemed as if a large field of pure lilies had bloomed around her. "Since we have made such an agreement, don't break it. Otherwise, even if Aki doesn't go back, I will stop you."
After a pause, she added, "However, Rengoku Kyojuro, it doesn't matter if you break your promise. I think Brother Tokito can also give it a try with Aki... Of course, Mr. Tomioka can barely be considered a reserve."
When Shinobu Kocho mentioned Giyu Tomioka at the end, her tone was really reluctant.
Giyu Tomioka, who just treats Aki as his sister: "..." I don't.
Beiming Island Xingming chanted a Buddhist name and said, "Beiming Island House will always be her home."
Rengoku Kyojuro's translation: If you treat Axi badly, then divorce her and let Axi come home. I can support her.
Rengoku Kyojuro, who suddenly felt the pressure, said: "..."
He suddenly shouted, "I won't let that happen. Please hand Ah Xi over to me."
The boy suddenly spoke loudly, waking up all the seriously injured patients in the ward.
If Qingxi were present and saw this scene, she would probably describe it with words like "a dying person sitting up in shock" or "a corpse resurrecting from the dead".
The seriously injured patients were stunned for a while before their brains started to work.
Everyone turned their heads left and right, confirming something to the patients around them.
Did they just hear what promises Flame Pillar-sama made to the head of some family?
So the question is, what kind of assurance do we need to give to the head of another family who is not our relative?
That would naturally be the head of the family of the woman you like.
After confirming this, they were shocked. Could it be that the young Flame Pillar already has someone he likes?
Who is that woman?
A group of people were looking at the bed of the Flame Pillar in all kinds of strange lying positions. He was surrounded by other Pillars who were injured and recuperating.
When they saw the Rock Pillar, Gyoumei Kumeijima, some well-informed wounded soldiers felt they understood.
The head of the female family should be Lord Rock Pillar, and the female is Lord Rock Pillar's adopted daughter, Qingxi, a medical staff member who was once regarded as a female Shura by the wounded in the Butterfly House.
In this case, what should they do when they suddenly learn the news?
Pretend to know nothing? Or turn around and say a blessing to the couple?
But it seems that it may not be appropriate.
After all, the head of the family seemed reluctant, and he even said that he would wait until Ah Xi was 25 years old before getting married.
Think about Aki's current age. He is still 11 years away from turning 25. If this group of people start making trouble here, they will definitely be beaten by the Rock Pillar later.
So, just shut up, and take advantage of this time of recuperation to be a quiet spectator.
You should know that such a fresh and columnar melon is not something you can easily come across.
Qingxi, who had no idea that she had become the gossip of the Butterfly House, thought that what happened that day was over, so she just lived the rest of her life as usual.
The only difference is that two more swordsmen were left behind in the expedition team that came to her side this time.
One wave of the spiritual sword, the other wave of the demon-slaying sword.
Qingxi always had a feeling when facing these two people.
Whether it was the previous Jiang Xue Smonji, Suzumaru Tsuneji, or the current Daitenta Mitsuyo and Onimaru Kunioka, they were all specially forged by the people from the Honmaru, and then trained and cultivated them before being smuggled over, bah, sent over.
The Buddha sword, the spirit sword, and the ghost-slaying sword, judging from their characteristics, they all belong to the category of those that can defeat ghosts.
Qingxi herself doesn't believe that she didn't mean it.
The Pillars are also human beings, and they are not much more cooperative than the other members of the Demon Slayer Corps during their recuperation period.
No, it should be said that because they are the Pillars, even if they act willfully without regard for themselves, it will make it even more difficult for the medical staff of the Butterfly House to persuade them.
At this time, they would feel fortunate in their hearts that there was a treasure in the crowhouse next door. If the seriously injured pillars were disobedient, they could just run and move her out.
If worst comes to worst, they can still summon those warriors. Although the effect is not as good as Axi's, it is still useful to some extent.
The winter snow melts away and the Waking of Insects in March begins.
There was a sound of hurried running from one end of the corridor to the other.
"Ah, Mr. Daitenta, can you do me a favor?" Takada Naho was running out of breath, but when she saw a tall blue-haired young man sitting under the eaves and playing with a calico cat at a corner, she felt scared but also relieved.
"Mr. Beimingyu is not training as instructed again." Naho Takada frowned at the experience of being sent by her sisters to complain.
Likewise, the three little ones from Butterfly House would occasionally be pulled over to help with reading and writing. Even though they were not used to interacting with weak, soft little girls, the experienced Daiten Tai Guangshi no longer had the same rejection on his face as at first. He asked, "Where's the master?"
"Because we heard that there were a lot of bamboo shoots growing on the mountain, Sister Axi, Mr. Jiang Xue, and Mr. Suzumaru went to the mountain together to dig bamboo shoots." said Naho Takata.
After a pause, she seemed to have thought of something, and with her hands on her hips, she said angrily, "Mr. Beimingyu must have planned to do this when Sister Axi was out... When Sister Axi comes back, I will definitely tell her about this."
Tell her what?
Will you go back and educate the disobedient head of the family?
Daiden Tai Guangshi thought silently in his heart.
It’s over, he actually had a sense of picture.
Daiten Tai Mitsuyo stood up, holding Taro in one hand and asked, "Where is it?"
"This way." Naho Takada turned around and trotted ahead to lead the way.
Daiden Tai Guangshi followed suit and asked calmly, "To what extent is this time?"
Considering the Rock Pillar's combat power, Takada Naho asked hesitantly, "...Can we let Mr. Sadameshima rest in bed while preventing his wounds from breaking open?"
Daiten Tai Guangshi paused for a moment, and for once, he offered a sincere suggestion: "Why not put sleeping pills in their food?"
For seriously injured patients, sleeping right after eating can help their wounds heal faster.
Takada Nanae was confused: "Can it be like this?"
There's always a feeling that I'm corrupting a child. Daiden Tai Guangshi: "..."
But before Daiten Taikoyo could say anything, Takada Nanae was already shaking her head. "We can't do that. Giving them sleeping pills might make things easier for us medical staff, but they're ghost hunters protecting everyone. Even if they don't cooperate with us, we can't treat them like that. It's wrong."
