: The Other Side of Freedom is Inscribed with Abandonment

In the afternoon, Bai Wei went to Yoshinoya’s wagashi store. Yamada’s business was getting better and better. He was busy, saying hello to many people.

Bai Wei approached and noticed a woman in black mourning clothes sitting on a chair covered with a red cloth. She was drinking tea and eating wagashi slowly.

There is no exclamation mark on the top of the head, but the breath and temperament are all unusual.

Noticing Bai Wei’s gaze, the woman in funeral clothes looked over through the black gauze hat, smiled politely, and nodded slightly.

Bai Wei also nodded back.

“Boss, let’s have another one, take this one away.”

“Hi, thank you for your patronage.”

“Your family’s wagashi tastes very good, almost as good as Jinguji’s.”

“Hahaha, you are absurd. The special offerings of the Jingu, my small workshop can’t compare.” Yamada scratched his head and laughed loudly: “Go slowly, Miss Jiuzhong.”

The woman nodded slightly, carrying the gift, her steps seemed to be slow, but she walked away very quickly.

… Ninefold? Jingu Temple?

Hearing the familiar name, Bai Wei stared at her back for a while.

“Master Bai, you’re back to your senses.” Yamada waved his hand: “It’s inappropriate to stare at the widow like that, right?”

“Ok?”

“If you’re interested in this kind of thing, I can introduce you.” Yamada said, “I know quite a few widows.”

“Huh?” Bai Wei rolled his eyes: “I just look familiar.”

“That’s really a pity.” Yamada said with a chuckle, “The widows are pretty good. It’s not easy for a single woman to live in this world…”

“You’re so fond of it?” Bai Wei had a strange look in his eyes.

“Slender and mature woman, a gentleman has a good shot.” Yamada said clearly, but in the end he was defeated by reality: “An old bachelor like me can’t think of anything better, but dealing with widows is handy.”

Bai Wei suddenly had some doubts. He thought to himself…is a widow a cow?

… A single mother who is determined to be a widow, is this considered a cow?

… In essence, is a third party inserted after a couple whose relationship has broken down considered a bull?

What about a pure cow?

The way of the cow, the way is obstructed and long.

“There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty: Women at thirty are like wolves and forty are like tigers.”

“Ok?”

“There is another saying in the Ming Dynasty: Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.”

“Huh?”

“Combining these two sentences, it means that…youthful young people are not afraid of women in their 30s and 40s, and they even know that there are tigers in the mountains…”

Bai Wei sighed, “I didn’t expect you to reach this stage and this age.”

“No, no, no, I’m clearly past this age, I’m already in my fourth year.” Yamada complained, “It’s you who is in charge, you need to work harder.”

“Your worry is a little unnecessary. Ming Dynasty is monogamous.” Bai Wei shrugged his shoulders: “Marry a few more rich women, and you will be able to live a peaceful life in the future. Don’t move on your own.”

“Young people are in good health, but they are tough when they speak.” Yamada clasped his fists: “Just don’t talk about running the train, but actually move.”

“Here’s some easy-to-digest wagashi. I’ll take it home and feed it to my family.” Bai Wei took out the money and said, “This time I won’t go whoring for nothing.”

“Hey, how easy is it to take your money.” Yamada scratched his head, took the money and accepted it: “But I will accept the money, because I happened to do something for you.”

“You found it?”

“Yes, Long Ying, there is only such a place called Long Ying.” Yamada took out the map: “The location is here, I marked it.”

“Thank you.” After accepting the map, Bai Wei returned home with wagashi.

The matter of Long Ying can be put aside for the time being. He is more concerned about what is going on with the alliance.

I have to sneak in tonight to have a look, because he wants the seeds of the golden tree and wants to plant a foreigner’s neck tree.

“Why do you have time to come to my place?” In the lounge, Kurosawa Mika looked at the visitor strangely.

“It’s for you.” Jiuzhonghuayi put down the wagashi.

“I don’t like the dim sum in Jingu.”

“So this is not a special offering in the shrine, but on the street.” Jiuzhonghuayi smiled: “How could I forget your taste?”

Dr. Kurosawa opened the box and confirmed that it was indeed not. The shape of this wagashi is too ordinary, far from exquisite.

She picked out a petal cake, took a bite, and the sweet taste spread on the tip of her tongue.

She narrowed her eyes, and then said, “So-so, you want a piece too?”

“I brought it to you after I ate it, so as not to steal the food.” Jiuzhonghuayi said, resting her chin.

“You still have this temper, you always think of your old friend when you’re full.” Kuisawa snorted.

“You have to change your stingy tone, otherwise who will come to see you except me?”

“I don’t get the attention of the people in the shrine, but I am free.” Kurosawa said disdainfully: “Freedom is more expensive!”

“Do you think I’ve been a doctor for so many years, and I’m bored?”

“No, you don’t understand the fulfillment of being a doctor and saving lives and healing the wounded!”

“Do you really think that after so many years, I still have any thoughts of resentment? Do you think I care?”

Jiu Zhong rested his cheeks: “But every word of yours seems to be shining and stinging.”

Kurosawa coldLaughing: “How could it be? My dear Kunou.”

Her smile was sweet: “I just think that the Jingu, which always talks about love and justice and keeps asking girls to go to hell, is the place that deserves nuclear bombs.”

Jiuzhonghuayi paused: “… I’m a little hungry again, give me a piece.”

“No!” Kurosawa protected the box, “Why do you like to grab food from other people’s plates?”

“I’m used to it. The other girls in the shrine are very happy to share it with me.”

“That’s because they don’t know about your bad nature. Go, go.”

“It’s precisely because you don’t let me every time, that’s why I like to grab food on your plate…”

“That’s why you dropped a quail egg from my box lunch on the table, put this quail egg back on my plate, and picked another quail egg that didn’t drop on the table?”

“How long ago did you remember clearly…” Jiuzhonghuayi had a delicate expression.

“Okay, stop talking nonsense.” After eating three pieces of wagashi, Kuisawa glanced at Huayi: “You can’t come here to chat with me. Tell me something.”

“It’s almost December.” Jiuzhonghuayi said slowly.

“so what?”

“You know.” Jiuzhonghuayi said solemnly, “I need your help.”

Kurosawa showed a subtle expression: “No way, you don’t really think that if you bow your head, I will help you for free, right?”

“you are a doctor.”

“It’s just a doctor, not a saint.” Kurosawa Mihua opened the cup and took a sip of tea unhurriedly: “You were the first to choose to turn your back on it. It’s only now that you think about turning back. Isn’t it too late?”

“Shen Gong didn’t look back.” Jiuzhong said, “This is my personal proposal.”

“We don’t have much friendship anymore. Since it’s a personal proposal, it’s best not to talk about it.”

“Those children are innocent, if something really happens…”

“That’s your responsibility too, it has nothing to do with us!” Kurosawa mocked mercilessly: “Don’t pass your responsibility onto us, I’ve said it from the beginning… Jingu will regret it, it’s you Don’t believe it—before you blame me for not saving people, think about who forced them to face the bloody moon, it’s you!â€

The categorical nature of what she said was quite different from the image of a gentle doctor she usually left people. She could beg family members to allow her to use certain expensive special medicines for the sake of patients’ illnesses, but she flatly rejected Jiuzhonghuayi’s request.

Because her bottom line was violated.

“Okay.” Jiuzhonghuayi was not angry, but regretful: “Even if you don’t help, tell us what to do.”

“December is blocked by the gray tide. If you contact the alliance earlier, you may still have the opportunity to buy…”

“Is there no other alternative?”

“No one will protect us. This is Yingzhou. Is it possible that you really regard yourself as the suzerain?”

“There is no such thing as suzerainty, we are us.” Jiu Chong retorted word for word.

“Your self-esteem is high, but it doesn’t help. The moon waits for no one. Whenever the moonlight is scarlet, you should remember that feeling.” Kurosawa Mika paused, “The solution is there, but you abandoned it.” It has turned its back on the past, its responsibilities, and its beliefs, so I only see the red moon… The other side of freedom is engraved with abandonment, you choose, you bear, and now, you only want the good, not the bad, yes Isn’t it too childish?”

Jiuzhonghuayi was silent for a long time, and she asked again: “What’s the price?”

“What you need is faith, and no one will ask for any price.”

“No, this is the price.” Jiuzhonghuayi said equally firmly: “I don’t believe that there is only one antidote in this world, and you have to make people bow down in order to get relief!”
