Chapter 479 Family
[At the age of fourteen, you were already known to the people of Izumo. When a Zhaodao-level evil beast appeared outside the fortress, a young man in black clothes holding a bamboo sword fell down.]
[The other side where the black-clad man passes is like the sea, and the bamboo sword cuts down to decide life and death]
[People call you "Yellow Spring", which means that wherever you go is the Yellow Spring of evil beasts, and the bamboo sword cuts off all disasters]
[This year, the number of evil beasts that fell from Takamagahara decreased significantly, which also bought Izumo a rare respite. In the four years since the war began, the price of food has skyrocketed, and the amount of abandoned farmland is incalculable.]
[The three major families issued various decrees, but they still could not erase the fear in people's hearts. As long as the fear is not eliminated, social order will be difficult to restore.]
Lotus Heart Lake.
The sound of the piano was like the sound of a clear spring. A few strands of light pink hair fell beside the piano. Sakura's beautiful face was reflected in the lake, as was the imperial sword that exuded a chill.
An Ming was standing under the cherry tree with a bamboo sword on his back, quietly listening to the sound of the piano. He had specially washed his black clothes before coming.
Originally he liked to wear white clothes, but in battle the white clothes would sooner or later be dyed black by the blood of the evil beasts, so he simply wore black clothes.
"Sister Ying, I've never heard you play the piano before."
When the piano music gradually stopped, An Ming greeted Ying. Over the years, both he and Ying had been burdened with the responsibility of slaying evil beasts, and they seldom had the opportunity to meet.
Ying raised her eyes and whispered, "You can learn a lot in ten amber ages." In addition to the sword, you can also learn to play the piano, or to miss and expect.
Those eyes as gentle as violets have not changed. She is still the Sakura that An Ming is most familiar with, the sister who has accompanied him on his five-year journey.
"Sister Ying..."
"cherry."
Sakura placed the piano next to the tree and stood up from the lawn, revealing her fair ankles under her pure white dress.
She interrupted An Ming softly and corrected him seriously: "Just call me Sakura." Cherry blossoms fell in the sky between them, blooming with beautiful colors.
An Ming stared at Ying's face in a daze, then smiled and said, "Okay."
"It would be nice if I could be with Sakura forever."
"Uh-huh?"
Ying blinked, and a faint blush appeared on her cold face, which was extremely rare. She asked blankly, "What do you mean together...?"
"Of course family members should be together. You are all my most important family members."
An Ming's expression seemed as if it was a matter of course, and it was obvious that he didn't mean that at all. Ying's expression suddenly became a little subtle.
“How many people have you said that to?”
"What kind of words?"
"Huh..." Ying pursed her red lips and knocked on An Ming's head without saying a word, "Don't say such things that can cause misunderstandings in the future!"
The cherry-colored figure turned and walked away, but before leaving, An Ming vaguely heard a faint "idiot."
An Ming scratched his head in confusion, "So should I eat the crabs I just bought or not?" He also trotted to catch up with Sakura's back, thinking that Sakura and Mei were both the type of people who didn't talk much.
Sometimes it is very difficult to guess their true emotions when chatting with them, which is much more difficult than killing evil beasts.
After nightfall, An Ming steamed the crabs he brought and placed some side dishes on the stone table. Ying took out a small pot of sake, which was rare for her. She poured two small cups and then handed one to An Ming.
"My craftsmanship is average," Ying smiled particularly charmingly under the moonlight, but her words left An Minglue shocked.
He scratched his head and said, “When we’re in the fortress, everything is edible.” After breaking open the crab and taking a bite, he found that it tasted okay, mainly because the ingredients themselves were good.
Sakura took a sip of her sake and smiled slightly, "I like it very much, thank you."
After that, neither of them spoke much. Ying took small bites of the crab legs, which was much more elegant than An Ming.
They clinked glasses gently from time to time, the bright moon swaying in the transparent wine. When flower petals fell into the glass, Ying realized that she was a little drunk.
She seldom drank alcohol when she was in Edo, but she would occasionally have a drink after coming to Izumo. It wasn't that she drank to drown her sorrows, but that after getting drunk she could see the person in her heart.
There is a bright moon over the lake and a beautiful woman under the cherry blossoms.
In a trance, An Ming seemed to see a real fairy, dancing in the moonlight, with her white skirt and petals flying.
That night An Ming had a dream. He dreamed of Sakura, who was as beautiful as a fairy. When he opened his eyes and woke up, he was the only one left in Lianxin Lake.
The guqin was placed under the tree, along with a short letter.
[See you next time, don’t just steam it]
【cherry】
An Ming couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. He said goodbye softly to the cherry tree, then turned and left.
He still has his own responsibilities in Yingdu, so how can he linger on this moment forever?
Lianxin Lake returned to its tranquility once again, except for the silent cherry trees.
[At the age of fifteen, you are becoming more and more adept at dealing with the evil beasts in Takamagahara. The speed of killing them even exceeds the frequency of their appearance. The people seem to have seen Izumo's future again.]
[If it is that "Yellow Spring", maybe it can really drive all the evil beasts back to Takama-ga-hara and create ten Amber Ages of peace for Izumo! ]
[This is the future that people hope for. Even if it is not ten Amber Ages, half an Amber Age is fine. At least this way we don’t have to face the end of Izumo in person.]
Ever since the rebellion in the Zhaodao Palace five years ago, the Raiden family has become one of the only three remaining families. It is still responsible for defending the God's Falling Land, while also providing a steady supply of weapons and equipment to the soldiers on the front line.
Lei Dian Lingyi, as the patriarch of the Lei Dian family, has become visibly haggard in the past five years. His originally jet-black hair has now turned white at the temples.
Not to mention that Thunder Ryuma needs to spend a long time in the laboratory to research more advanced equipment, and staying up all night for one or two days is the norm.
"Honey, Mei last came home half a year ago."
At night, Raiden Mitsuki sat by the window, muttering to himself with some worry, recalling that the last time they met, Mei didn't stay at home for too long.
However, when An Ming was mentioned, Mei's expression made Raiden Mitsuki feel at ease. In her opinion, An Ming was a very good child. After all, she had seen him grow up. How could she not like him?
Raiden Ryoma half-stood in front of the table and poured a cup of hot water for Mitsuki, "With that kid Anming here, nothing will happen to Mei."
"But Mei means that the two of them don't meet very often."
"Haha...are you looking for a son-in-law in advance?" Raiden Ryoma teased with a smile. Mitsuki, who was holding the hot water, did not refute.
"You were the one who brought An Ming home. Besides, Mei likes him too. Isn't that great?"
"That's true, but the current Izumo..."
Raiden Ryoma sighed deeply. When survival becomes a problem, how can he have the time to think about anything else?
