Chapter 10 chapter Ten

When Miyako woke up, she found herself lying on something in an unstable position.Her body was limp. She couldn't move.This is not due to loss of consciousness, but because the angle of lying down is abnormal. With a slight movement, it seems to be about to roll onto another thing.The reclined position forces her to adopt this posture.It never occurred to her that the small space in the car would take so much away from her freedom of movement. In the darkness, she heard the trickle of the stream.Miyako was smoking before her eyes.If you look closely, it's dusty. A faint moan came from under Miyako's body.She was startled and moved away, but her body lost her balance.Inadvertently stretched out his hand and grabbed the corner of the overturned seat.

Miyako understood that it was Imura who was under her.From above came the commotion of people. "Are you okay?" Imura's voice was like a moan, as if it came indirectly through some kind of object. "Mr. Imura," Miyako groped with her hand, one hand touched the elbow of the suit, it was Imura's elbow, "I'm fine, how are you?" Although she grabbed Imura's hand, she didn't have the strength to drag him up because her body was still unstable. "It doesn't matter to me," Imura said, "Get out of here quickly." "..."

Miyako didn't understand what he meant. Imura said out of breath: "How is the driver?" It was too dark to see clearly, but the driver's voice could not be heard. "I don't know." "Call and see," Imura ordered. "Driver," she called forward, but there was no answer. "Maybe dead," Imura muttered. Only then did Miyako realize that she was in an unusual situation. "Before no one comes, you run away as soon as possible." Imura spoke intermittently.He couldn't finish it all in one breath. Imura probably lay there unable to move.

"So, what about you?" "It's not a big problem. I probably hurt my shoulder and it's numb." "Can you stand up? I'll drag you up." "Quickly open the car door and go out. If someone comes, it will be troublesome. The car is not soaked in water. From here, you can walk along the stones under the cliff. When there are no people, walk on the road." "But, you are here, I am not at ease." "This worry is unnecessary. Now, first consider your situation." "..." "Listen. People will know about this accident sooner or later. My identity will also be exposed. If people know that you and I are sitting in this car together, the news will definitely reach your husband's ears. We have decided to break up I am. I will not bring you into misfortune by this unfortunate accident."

"But……" "I have nothing to do with you. Isn't it okay to talk like this? Come on, you're going to leave soon. Someone is coming, and you have to go to the hospital together, and you have to ask your name and address. You can't hide it. Get out now, It will not be discovered. Fortunately, at the hotel, we registered under false names. You go and perfunctory the hotel and leave immediately." On the ramp above the roof, the voices became louder, and even the light of the torch could be seen. "Okay, let's run away." "But, you..." "I said, this kind of worry is unnecessary. Go."

Imura said angrily. When Miyako heard this, she couldn't help but wanted to open the car door.However, the door was in an unexpected direction, not on the side, but on top.Fortunately, the door was not broken, although it was tighter, it finally opened.Miyako climbed out from there as if climbing a wall. When he got off the ground, he almost fell, because the ground was full of stones.Just overhead, voices erupted. "Probably just fell. It was a serious accident," "Is the person inside dead?" "Such a big accident may not be saved." "Go down and have a look."

"The ambulance is coming. Just now, a truck driver ran to a place with a phone." People are finding their way down to the beach. Miyako curled up and crawled on the rock.Fortunately, she was wearing black clothes, and the people above didn't notice.Around her the sound of the brook could be heard. At this time, Miyako realized that she was safe and well, except for the pain behind her left shoulder.Imura must have been more seriously injured.He couldn't see very well in the dark, but he couldn't seem to move.It also seems to be painful to listen to.In order to tell Miyako to run away, he had to force himself to shout.He was out of breath, which could not but be worrying.Thinking that he was almost sixty years old, I couldn't help feeling uneasy.

Miyako crawled among the stones.It has been some distance away from the scene.Light flickers behind.A car parked on the road shines its headlights below. However, due to the location, the lights have not yet captured the car that had an accident.Many vehicles gathered on the road.The light of the flashlight came on. Rescue work is about to begin.The accident was discovered relatively early.Imura might not die.No, you will definitely be saved. People's attention was focused on the place where the car rolled down, and no one noticed Miyako who was fleeing.Relying on the dim light, she found the leader who climbed from the river to the road, and finally climbed up.

The siren sounds from far to near.About a kilometer away from where Miyako was standing, vehicles and people gathered.The uproar grew louder.There are more and more people and cars. Miyako wiped the dirty clothes with a handkerchief, but there was no tear or blood.When the car rolled down, Imura was crushed under her, so she was not directly impacted. At this moment, a taxi passed by the scene of the accident and came here.Miyako raised her hand inadvertently. Miyako got into the car, and only after sitting down did she feel pain in half of her body. "There's been a big accident."

The driver spoke to Miyako, who had seen her in the headlights of the car when she was standing on the road.Since the driver didn't notice, it can be seen that Miyako is all right. It was late at night when Miyako stayed alone in a quiet hotel in Osaka. There was neither a television nor a radio in the room.Miyako asked the waitress to bring a radio. The news program at 11:30 p.m. begins.It started with political news.She was afraid that the radio below would report traffic accidents, and she was so afraid that her heart was about to jump out. The announcer reported traffic accidents fluently and lightly.Miyako had never listened to a news program so nervously.

——Imura Shigehisa was rescued.Knowing this, Miyako was relieved and felt relieved.There was no sound downstairs. The last paragraph of the news report still rings in my ears. "...President Imura recently came to Osaka to deal with bank work, but unfortunately, he suffered five or six injuries, left clavicle fracture, left upper arm bruise, head abrasion, etc. Currently, he is in XX, Osaka City He was hospitalized at Town R Hospital. It is estimated that he will recover within a month." This report hides a fact.Everything is carefully considered by General Manager Imura.The driver died.No one can prove to his face that Imura was driving with a woman. If Imura hadn't persuaded her to escape, what would have happened?She will also be sent to the hospital, and her identity must be ascertained.She is accompanied by General Manager Imura, and of course, people will speculate about their relationship.Miyako couldn't hide it with a fake name, because Shigehisa Imura was a well-known person. After she escaped, only two or three minutes later, the rescuers arrived at the scene. The reason why Imura was eager to let Miyako escape to safety was only for Imura himself.They have decided to break up.Imura could just let it go. After leaving the scene, Miyako took a taxi back to Arima Onsen.The registration at the hotel was a false name, and the hotel did not know that an accident had occurred.Miyako said that there was something urgent, she settled the accounts, and hurriedly changed her clothes. "Where's the gentleman who came with you?" The waitress was puzzled and asked. "Oh, he transferred to Kyoto halfway." Miyako replied. The only thing Imura left in the hotel was a crocodile leather handbag. Miyako asked the hotel to call a taxi and got in with Imura's handbag and her travel suitcase.Halfway there, I changed to another taxi so that no one could find out her whereabouts. Imura's handbag now sits in an alcove in the hotel.Miyako plans to send it to Imura tomorrow.Listening to the broadcast just now, the hospital where he lives is known, so let the taxi driver take him to the hospital. The next morning, she left the hotel and took a taxi. Tell the driver about Hospital R that you heard on the radio yesterday.Arrived in about twenty minutes.It was a big hospital with a river beside it. Miyako waited for the car to pass the gate of the hospital before asking the driver to stop. "Driver, there is a Mr. Imura who lives in this hospital. Please take this handbag to his ward." "What ward is it?" the driver asked. "I don't know. You can tell Mr. Imura to the concierge. He is the general manager of Bank R." "It's obvious." "There may be someone from the bank outside the ward. Give it to him." "Your name?" "Don't tell me, he also knows... Tell him that he forgot this at the hotel. I was entrusted by the hotel to send it to him." The driver felt puzzled and said: "So, does he know?" The driver got out of the car with Imura's crocodile leather handbag and walked. Miyako looked through the rear window and saw the driver walking with a handbag in one hand.It is about 100 meters from the car to the entrance of the hospital. At this time, two foreign-made cars came head-on and stopped in front of the hospital. A middle-aged woman got out of the car in front, followed by a 17- or 18-year-old boy. The four men who got out of the car behind nodded and bowed, and led the two to the hospital gate.The middle-aged woman swaggered and hurried up the stone steps. This is what Miyako saw. Miyako guessed that this woman was Imura's wife.It must be his son who followed her.Probably, after receiving the notice from the Osaka branch, she knew that the general manager had an accident, so she came from Tokyo.The branch clerk went to the station to pick her up here.The men looked flustered and respectful to the wife, but the lady looked down on them a little bit.If she is indeed Mrs. Imura, then Miyako saw Mrs. Imura for the first time today. For seven or eight years, Imura has been separated from his wife.However, since something happened to him, the wife had to rush over. Although it took only two or three seconds to witness it, it seemed that Madam was cold and stubborn.Miyako thought to herself: Is it because she has a special relationship with Imura that she has such an impression? Imura was reluctant to mention the matter of his wife who had been separated for many years in front of Miyako, and Miyako liked Imura's attitude.Even though he doesn't get along with his wife, he doesn't speak ill of her behind her back.Miyako has a good impression of Imura's gentlemanly demeanor. However, once, after drinking, Imura accidentally said a word: his wife is cold, self-willed, and willful.Imura's words completely matched Miyako's current impression.However, except for that one time, Imura never talked about his wife again. Miyako couldn't help sympathizing with Imura's lonely life in the future. The driver came back empty-handed. "Thank you," Miyako thanked. "There is a porter's room in front of the ward. I handed the bag to the people there. They want to know your name." "Yes. Did you tell them it was from the hotel?" "Yes, that's what I said," said the driver, holding the steering wheel. "Where are you going?" "Go to Osaka Station." Miyako breathed a sigh of relief.Imura finally saved his life, and the handbag was delivered to him.However, returning the handbag made Miyako feel that the relationship between them had been severed since then. "Later, it was the patient's wife who came to the ward, right?" the driver asked while turning the steering wheel. "Have you ever been to such a person?" "Yeah. The shelf is too big, and she even stared at the handbag I sent." "Did she say anything?" Miyako was taken aback. "No, nothing." The driver kept his mouth shut, probably he had already guessed about Miyako's situation. Nomiyama house, in the narrow background, a letter is written with a suitcase instead of a table.The show is coming to an end tonight.The next step is to go to Hiroshima. Such things are really rare.Although it is a repertory troupe, it is all composed of young people who are trainees, so local touring performances are rare.This time, at the invitation of Hiroshima, they are enthusiastic supporters of their troupe, and invited employees from companies and factories in Hiroshima to form the audience. After the performance tonight, I will take the train to Hiroshima immediately.In order to save money, don't live in a hotel. The so-called backstage is actually a straw mat laid on a small concrete floor of the borrowed house.People have already started packing and packing their luggage.The atmosphere seemed very tense. "what are you writing?" Friends of the house often come to see what she writes, saying: "Write a love letter?" The house of Nomiyama drove them away with a sullen face. She hesitated for a long time before she made up her mind to write this letter. This morning, she read a piece of news in the newspaper: A taxi was driving towards Arima Onsen, but unexpectedly, it rolled down a cliff on the way.This is a common traffic accident.The driver died at the scene and a passenger was seriously injured.In Tokyo, similar accidents happen almost every day. It is said that the passenger was a general manager of a bank from Tokyo.His picture was published in the newspaper.Age fifty-eight. This photo fascinated Nomiyama house.That was the man who had been walking with Konno Takuichi's wife on Toya Road the night before.The time and place of the accident would also match, if it happened on their way back to Arima Onsen. At that time, when the house saw Miyako Konno, he could hardly believe his eyes.However, the clothes she was wearing had an impression on the house.So, I took a closer look at her face, and it was not bad at all. Ever since the house got to know Konno Takuichi, every time he met his wife Miyako on the road, he always said hello, so he wouldn't mistake someone.Miyako fits well in a kimono, and the house thought she was a geisha or something.After getting acquainted with Zhuoyi, he found out that she was running a publishing house. The house couldn't help being surprised, and was quite interested in her. Because of this, when the house accidentally saw her on the streets of Kobe, it was stunned.Miyako's companion is a strange man. Miyako and the others looked at the antique shops of the Chinese people on the roadside, and at the posters posted on the telephone poles to promote the house and their performances.They can only be a couple. Miyako was next to the half-aged man, and the man walked slowly and thoughtfully. The house watched until they drove away in a car waiting by the side of the road. The reason why the house was in a rage was because Miyako, without telling her kind husband Takuichi, went to the distant Kobe with other men to play, and she even spit. Zhuoyi's wife is very capable.She is both beautiful and talented.And Zhuoyi is just kind, without the ability to deal with the world.Writing poetry was his whole life.The house thinks that such a wonderful combination as theirs is really rare. Finally the truth came out, it turned out that Zhuoyi's wife had such a protector.I thought that Miyako had career talents, but there is a man behind her, and he is the general manager of the bank, who is taller than the house imagined.This is because of the beautiful appearance of Konno Miyako.Miyako is quite attractive, even women like houses can be fascinated by her. But what is the difference between this method and a geisha? Use your own face and body as bait to ask men to pay.Did her husband just have to swallow it? This traffic accident is God's punishment.If man does not punish, God will punish... The house found that the newspaper did not mention Konno Miyako.There was no report of a woman in the car at all. The house thought that Miyako got out of the car about halfway, and only the general manager was left in the car.The house did see the two of them getting into the car together affectionately.Did the woman get out of the car alone, so she was spared the disaster. Even after thinking about it like this, I still can't figure it out. According to reports, the car of General Manager Imura was heading towards Arima Onsen at that time.Because the driver died, the exact whereabouts are not known.However, that road can only lead to Arima Onsen.Then, it is impossible for only women to get off.This is not Tokyo, but their tourist destination. At this point, the house could not help thinking of the fact that the passengers in the car were not ordinary people, but the general manager of a big bank.Newspapers, it is said, tend to look out for the big men and avoid reporting things that are not good for them.Isn't that the case? This morning, after reading the news and having doubts, the house has been thinking about this issue. As long as the driver does not die at that time, the facts can be clarified.However, she believed that her deduction was correct. Regardless of whether Konno Miyako got off the bus halfway or was injured together, it is an undeniable fact that she and General Manager Imura came to Kobe to play together.They might have stayed in Arima, and that was enough. Do you want to tell Takuichi in Tokyo about this, or keep it from him?The house hesitated. It seems that Konno Takuichi loves this wife very much.He had heard Zhuo Yi's words many times in that open space, and he placed his trust in his kindness unwaveringly on his wife.Because of this, the house cannot forgive Miyako. The house is only twenty-one years old, and it is as white as jade. It is impossible not to think about this problem seriously.She is an uncompromising woman.When acting, she always implements her beliefs in acting.For this reason, there are often conflicts with the director.Everyone in the troupe said she was stubborn. She believed she was right. The house thinks that it is necessary to ask questions about Miyako.But he didn't want to publicize it to others, so he could only tell Zhuo Yi positively. Nomiyama House does not think this kind of behavior is cruel, but believes that it is justice. House Nomiyama and their performance in Hiroshima is over.That was five days after Kobe wrote Konno Takuichi. The performance of the show exceeded expectations.The members of the troupe were very excited.On the train back to Tokyo, everyone was refreshed.Although I was exhausted from the long journey and acting, everyone was saying, since the grades are so good, let's go somewhere else.Some people say that the next time they go to the Tohoku region; some people think that the Hokuriku region is better.The director department is already studying the next play. The house thought, go see Kagano Takuichi immediately after returning to Tokyo.Finding him is effortless.He hangs out and writes poems every day, as long as he goes to the road or open space where he often strolls, he will definitely be able to see him. The house wanted to know Zhuo's reaction to the letter. In the letter, the house still did not dare to truthfully reflect the situation, although it thought it was justice to tell him, but still wrote the letter vaguely. ...I came to Kobe to perform.Last night, I saw a person exactly like your wife on Toya Road.She is not alone.She is so much like your wife.I can't help thinking that there are such wonderful things in the world.We performed well.I'm going to Hiroshima soon.When I return to Tokyo, we'll meet in the open space. house As a result, the content of the letter became such a short text. But isn't that enough?Zhuoyi knew that his wife left home and went on a trip.The date was written on the letter, so when mentioning "last night", Zhuoyi should have thought that his wife was not at home that day. "I can't help thinking that there are such wonderful things in the world."This sentence in the letter is a pun, referring to both "resembling Mei Yezi" and "having a male companion". No matter how kind Zhuo is, the letter is so clear, he should have understood it. However, the house doesn't think he's instilling anything in Zhuo Yi.She put this fact in front of him and secretly advised him to break up with the wife who betrayed him. Advice has another meaning.That was advice to Zhuoyi not to work, but to hang out every day. Once he lost his capable wife, Zhuoyi would have to work to make ends meet. House Nomiyama didn't know why he cared so much about others.What she witnessed on Toya Road left a dirty impression on her.Besides, it was unreasonable that only the male companion was injured and Miyako was safe and sound. She thought it was a public outrage. If this had come to her ears as a rumor, perhaps the house would not have felt so violently angry.If she didn't know someone like Konno Takuichi directly, maybe she would think it was a cliché and just laughed it off. No, if Zhuo Yi was an annoying person, the house wouldn't be filled with righteous indignation. What's worse is that she knows Zhuo Yi's kindness well, and she has witnessed his wife walking on the streets of Kobe with other men.She had experienced this incident herself, so she was furious. However, she also felt that there was something that could not be explained clearly.She didn't know what it was.There may be something else in my own feelings of throwing a stone at someone else's family. "Miss Nomiyama," the director walked in front of the house, "for the next play, I want to change it up and decide to use Mr. Aonuma Tejiro's work." This troupe has always used mostly foreign works.Therefore, it is very popular with young people, but older people don't want to watch it.Of course, it also makes sense for experimental young troupes to do so.However, this time, we plan to expand the scope of repertoire selection.The director explained it this way. "There is a work with relish. It is rare in Mr. Aonuma's works, and it is lyrical. We are going to write the screenplay ourselves." "What, Mr. Aonuma!" shouted the house in surprise. "Yeah, do you know Mr. Aonuma?" the director asked. "No, I have only heard of his name, have neither seen him nor read his works." Nomiyama House heard that the next time he would act in Aonuma's work, he felt that this fate was really strange.On Aonuma Tejiro, the shadow of Miyako also overlapped. In short, the performances in Kobe and Hiroshima were all successful, and the entire troupe was boiling.The director decided to use Aonuma's works because he wanted to use this shareholder style to gain a wider audience. However, the troupe decided to use the works of Aonuma Tejiro, and the house couldn't help but feel an invisible thread connecting the world. On this day, the house arrived in Tokyo early in the morning.She went home immediately. I slept for a long time on the train, and I was not too sleepy, probably because of my youth. Moreover, the thought of meeting Konno Takuichi filled his chest with anticipation.I really want to know the effect of that letter sooner.She knew that Zhuo Yi would usually come out for a walk around ten o'clock. When the house arrived home, I fell asleep for an hour in a daze.When I woke up, it was half past nine.She hastily washed her face. The house is ready to move in.I thought maybe it was Zhuoyi's wife that I met on the road, not Zhuoyi himself, but that didn't happen. There was no sign of Zhuo Yi, maybe he went to that open space. The house quickened its pace and headed there.However, Zhuo Yi was nowhere to be seen on the grass.There were five or six kids practicing pitching there. The house guessed that Zhuoyi's failure to come was because of the letter that caused disturbances in Zhuoyi's family.If it is written so clearly, if you don't notice it, then Zhuoyi is hopeless. How can he not care about his wife traveling with other men.Now that the family is in turmoil, naturally he won't come, so can we still talk about a leisurely walk? The house wanted to know what he was up to.Did he scold his wife?Are you determined to divorce? Ye Jianshan waited for nearly an hour, but Zhuo Yi never came, so he wanted to go back. At this moment, she saw Konno Takuichi coming up from under the stone steps.Stop for a moment and look intently. "what!" Zhuoyi saw the house from a distance and raised his hand to say hello.Seeing Zhuo Yi's carefree, cheerful and bright attitude as always, the house couldn't help being stunned.
