Chapter 85 Chapter 27 Butterfly and Wind

"And eight, what do you do for a living now?" "Is it my profession?" "Ok!" "I have no chance to be an official, and I don't have a formal job yet." "So you still have nothing to do!" "When you say that, it reminds me of one thing. Because of that woman, Ajia, I missed my great future." They came to a grassland similar to the foothills of Mount Ibuki. "Sit down!" Musashi sat on the grass.He doesn't like Matahachi's inferiority complex and cowardice. "Although it was Ajia's fault. But Youba, a man shouldn't have such thoughts. Because only you can create your own career."

"I know I'm not good either...how should I put it? I'm always unable to control the fate in front of me, and I'm always led by fate." "How do you stand in this era like this? You said that you want to go to Edo to have a look. Edo is now a virgin land that hungry people are eager to develop. Without extraordinary ability, how can you become famous?" "If only I had practiced the sword sooner." "What are you talking about! You are only twenty-two years old, and you have a bright future in everything you do! You eight, to be honest, you are not good at practicing swords. So I think if you can study hard and find a good monarch, I beg you An official position is the best."

"I will……" Another eight pulled out a piece of grass, put it in his mouth and bit it, and felt shameful in his heart. Musashi grew up in the mountains like himself, the son of a villager, and the same age.However, after only five years of walking on different paths, there is such a big difference between him and himself.Thinking of this, You Ba couldn't stand it anymore, and regretted wasting his time. Before meeting Musashi, Matachi heard the rumors about him, always felt unconvinced and refused to recognize his ability.However, after five years of absence, Musashi appeared in a different posture.No matter how much he bluffs, he will still feel the pressure brought by Musashi, so he has to feel inferior.Now, the usual antipathy towards Musashi was gone.The spirit and self-esteem also collapsed.There are only countless self-blame in his heart.

"What are you thinking? Hey! Cheer up!" Musashi patted his friend on the shoulder and scolded him for being so weak. "What's so bad about it! You've been wandering around for five years, as long as you were born five years later! But, from another perspective, these five years of wandering around are also a kind of training!" "I'm really ashamed." "Hello! I was just chatting and forgot to tell you something. Youba, I just broke up with your mother." "Huh? You met my mother?" "Why didn't you inherit any of your mother's strength and resilience?"

When Musashi saw this unworthy son, he couldn't help but feel sorry for the unfortunate mother, Ashanpo. I thought: What a worthless guy! Seeing Matachi so depressed, Musashi couldn't let it go. He really wanted to say to Youba: Look at me, my mother passed away since I was a child.How lonely I am without a mother! Roughly speaking—— Ashanpo has to suffer from the wind, sun, and rain in her old age, and she regards Musashi as an enemy from generation to generation. This is only due to one fundamental reason, that is, she always feels: And eight is very cute. This is the misunderstanding derived from blind love, and from the misunderstanding comes stubborn ideas.

Musashi, who can only see the vague image of his mother in his childhood dreams, deeply understands this.He is very envious of other people having mothers, so no matter how much he is insulted, framed, and calculated by Ashanpo, it is only a momentary anger.After things have passed, there is a sense of loneliness and sadness in my heart.At this time, he was very envious of having another mother. How can I get rid of Grandma's curse? Musashi looked at Matachi, asking and answering in his heart. As long as this son gets ahead, it will be fine.If Youba can be more promising and up-to-date than me, grandma will be praised by the villagers.This is better than beheading my head to fulfill Grandma's wish!

Thinking of this, his friendship with Youba is like the emotion he holds for the sword, and it is also like the passion he held when he carved the statue of Guanyin. "You eight, don't you think so?" Musashi's words were full of sincere friendship.He solemnly said: "You have such a good mother, why can't you make her happy? I think it's a pity that you don't have a mother. I don't accuse you of disrespecting your mother, but that you have the greatest happiness of being a son of man and spoil it. If I Now that I have such a mother, I don’t know how warm my life will be! This is so important to a person’s life. Why? Because when a child achieves success, no one will express joy more directly and frankly than the parents How inspiring it is to have someone to share your joy with! People with mothers may think this is a cliché, but a drifter sees a beautiful view without someone around to share it with. Isn't it very lonely?"

Musashi saw that Matachi had been listening attentively, so he said this in one breath.Then he shook his friend's hand and said: "Yuhachi... You should be very clear about this truth. I ask you as a friend, because I grew up in my hometown. Hey! Let us use the perseverance we had during the Battle of Sekigahara, and use the guns we carried on our backs. The mood when I walked out of the village, encourage each other, okay? There is no war now. Although the flames of the battle of Sekigahara have been extinguished, behind the peace, the practice of life and the street fighting of strategy are in the ascendant! Only by your own training Only then can you lead to the road to victory... Matachi once again show the spirit and courage to carry a gun, you can also stand out in this world! Come on! Be a great person! If you have the will, I will help you Yours. Even if I am your slave, I am willing. If you really want to fight, if you are willing to swear to heaven and earth—”

Youba's hot tears dripped down on the tightly held hands of the two. This was what my mother thought, but Chiba kept turning a deaf ear and scoffing at it.Unexpectedly, the words from a friend whom he had not seen for five years would shock his heart so strongly and make him burst into tears. "I get it! Got it! Thank you!" Youba repeated this, covering his eyes with the back of his hand: "Today is the day of my rebirth. I am not good at practicing swords, so I think of Edo. After traveling all over the place, I hope to meet a good teacher, so that I can pursue my studies well."

"I'll also help you find a good teacher or a good master. After all, the pursuit of knowledge is not something to do when you have nothing to do. You must find a teacher." "Ah! I think I'm on the road to prosperity. But there's one thing that's troublesome..." "What's the matter? Just say anything. It will be the same in the future. As long as it is beneficial to you and I can do it, I will try my best to help. In this way, at least I can make up for the sin of making your mother angry." "It's hard to tell!" "A small hiding place will turn into a large darkness. Speak out! Even if it is a bad thing, it is only a momentary embarrassment, not to mention there is nothing to be ashamed of between friends."

"Then I'll be straight." "Ok!" "The one resting in the room behind the tea shop is the woman who was walking with me." "You brought a woman!" "And... oh! It's still hard to say!" "Look at you, you have no manliness at all." "Musashi, don't be angry! Because she is a woman you also know." "Ah... who the hell is it?" "It's Zhu Shi." "..." Musashi was shocked. When they meet at Wutiao Bridge, Zhu Shi is no longer the pure little daisy she used to be.Although she is not yet as slutty as A Jia full of beauties and poisonous weeds, she is already flying like a bird with a dangerous fire in its mouth.Musashi recalled that when she was crying and pouring out her emotions against his chest, there was a young man with bangs who seemed to be related to Zhu Shi standing by the bridge and staring at Musashi with rolled eyes! Now that Musashi heard that Youba and Zhu Shi were together, he was really shocked.Because Musashi can almost imagine that such a woman with complicated personality, together with his cowardly friend, what a dark valley the two people's life journey will lead to, what a misfortune it will be! And this man chooses and chooses, why did he choose such dangerous people as A Jia and Zhu Shi as his partner? Musashi thought. "..." Youba saw that Musashi was silent, and he had another way of saying: "Are you angry... I thought it would be bad to hide it, so I just said it. But, it's not good for you, is it?" Musashi felt a burst of pity, and cursed: "Fool!" Then he regained his composure. "Is it bad luck, or is it your own fault—I really don't understand. You've already suffered from Ah Jia, how can you still..." Musashi felt sorry, so he asked why.You Bacong met Zhu Shi at the Sananpo Hotel, and met again at Guasheng Mountain one night. On a sudden whim, he discussed going to Edo for development, left his mother behind and told Musashi without any concealment. "Speaking of which, maybe it's my mother's punishment! That guy Zhu Shi has been screaming for pain since he fell to Guasheng Mountain, and he still lies in the tea shop all day. Although I regret it, it's too late." Musashi heard Yatachi's sigh and couldn't bear to blame him any more.Who asked this man in front of him to ask for trouble by exchanging the pearl of loving mother for a bird holding fire? At this time, a person slowly walked over: "Ah! Guest officer, you are here!" It turned out to be a busy old woman in a tea shop.She put her hands on her waist and looked at the sky, as if she was looking at the weather? "The patient who was traveling with you didn't come together!" She seems to be asking questions, and she seems to be muttering to herself. And eight immediately asked: "Zhu Shi? What happened to her?" He looked nervous. "She's not in bed." "Not in bed?" "But, were you still lying on the bed just now?" Musashi intuited that something had happened, so he said: "Yuba, go and have a look!" He followed Youpachi back to the tea shop and checked her room.Grandma was right. "Ah! Not good!" You Ba yelled, "The belt is gone, and the change of clothes is gone. Even my coils are gone." "What about the makeup?" "I don't know where the comb and the hairpin are! She actually abandoned me." You Ba had just vowed to work hard, his face filled with tears, but now he was full of resentment. Grandma glanced inward at the door of the room, and said to herself: "What the hell is going on! That girl is real! Please forgive me, but the girl is actually pretending to be sick and lying in bed all day. My old woman can see through it at a glance." Baba couldn't listen to these words at all.He ran out of the tea shop and looked blankly at the winding mountain road. A cow lay down under a withered peach tree and yawned lazily. "..." "Another eight!" "..." "Hey!" "Oh?" "Why are you in a daze? At least we can pray that Zhu Shi has a place to live!" "yes!" At this time, a gust of wind blew in front of Yatachi's lifeless face, creating a small vortex.A yellow butterfly fluttered in an invisible vortex, and then flew down the cliff. "Just now you said something that comforted me, is that really what you said from the bottom of your heart?" Youba bit his lips, and a trembling voice burst out from between his lips: "It's true! So what if it's not true?" Musashi pulled his hand hard, trying to wake him from his dazed eyes. "Your road is broad. The direction Zhu Shi wants to go is not the way you are going. You immediately put on the straw sandals and go to find the mother who went down the mountain to Sakamoto and Otsu. Don't lose such a good mother. ! Let's go now!" He took out Youba's straw sandals, foot trippers, and travel supplies. And said: "Do you have money? Take this with you! If you are determined to go to Edo for development, I will go to Edo with you. Moreover, I also want to say a few words of heart to your mother. I will first put this cow Take it to Seta Tangqiao, and come later. Listen! Be sure to bring your mother with you."
