Me and the Doll Girl of Zhidiao Island

Chapter 123 121. Start a New Life
The big earthquake came as promised, the road was full of noisy crowds, and screams came from all directions.

After the earthquake subsided, the faces of Jiang Yuanshen and Jiang Yuan Jingzi were covered with dust.

He looked around disheartened, and his sister was crying in his arms intact.

Jiang Yuanshen could even hear the turbulent sound of the clouds above Zhiniao Island, and the fierce shouts told the new life in his ears.

Before he could feel sad, he received an email on his phone.

Tremblingly, he took out his mobile phone, which was a clamshell phone from a long time ago, only to find that it was sent from the air shaker.

"Xiao Shen! Are you okay? Come back to me!"

"It's okay, I'll find you later."

Jiang Yuanshen closed the mobile phone and put his arms around Jiang Yuan Jingzi in his arms. Shuangjin Port was once again destroyed by the tsunami, and there was a huge blank space in the miserable land of ruins.

He understands that at this moment, he has reached the other side of his destiny.

◇

Zhiniao Island's network and telephone communication were temporarily interrupted, just like before, Zhiniao Island became a mess, hospitals and open spaces became shelters, overcrowded.

On the other side, countless people were covered with a black curtain, which reminded Jiang Yuanshen of Shakespeare's "As You Like It"——

"All men and women are but actors, they have their offs and their ups"

In the Yecheng Ai Square on Zhiniao Island, it was temporarily used as a refugee refuge by the government, and countless tents were erected.

Jiang Yuanshen and Jiang Yuan Jingzi were arranged by government staff in a tent with six other islanders.

Everyone's emotions are very unstable, there are yelling and crying everywhere, even the sound of coughing makes people feel nervous.

He and Chaokong Yaoxing informed the number 12 of the tent, because of Kyoko, he couldn't leave.

"Xiao Shen!"

The 11-year-old Chaokong Yaoxing was confirming the number in front of the tent, and finally found out who they were coming from.

Her hair was unusually thin in color, and there were fine dust on the ends of her hair. Grief and helplessness melted on her face.

"Shake the apricot." Jiang Yuanshen said.

"Is Kyoko okay?" Chaokong Yaoxing squatted in front of the two of them, holding Jiangyuan Kyoko's hand tightly with both hands.

"The body is not injured, it is frightened."

Chaokong Yaoxing showed some subtle expressions, she bit her lower lip tightly, took a deep breath and said, "It's too crowded here, why don't you go to my house?"

Jiang Yuan looked around carefully, the air in the refugee camp was very stuffy, if he continued to stay in the oppressive atmosphere, there would definitely be psychological problems.

Along with the noisy chirping of cicadas, Jiang Yuan Shen nodded.

Just as he stood up, carried Jiang Yuan Jingzi on his back, and walked out of the tent, he suddenly saw a figure out of the corner of his eye.

A thin-looking man is walking around the camp, like a returning pet dog, walking back and forth in front of the tents.

It was Takara Azusagawa who returned to the island that year.

Jiang Yuanshen's mood is very complicated, he has nothing to do with this person now, even if he passes by, he will not turn his head to greet him again.

He carried Jiang Yuan Kyoko on his back, looked at the cracked concrete floor, and listened to the footsteps of Azusagawa Takara amidst all kinds of noise.

But I always vaguely feel kindness and peace of mind from him, which is beyond doubt.

◇

"Then what are you going to do next?"

Chaokong Yaoxing stood up and opened the French window.

The linen curtains immediately swelled lightly, and white clouds floated in the blue sky, like a letter that no one signed for.

The wind floated into Chaokong Yaoxing's room as if nothing had happened, and her hair fluttered along with it.

The air conditioner hanging on the wall was broken, and it made a terrible ghost noise every few hours, and the cooling effect was ridiculously poor.

Jiang Yuan Shen sat by the bed, looking at Jiang Yuan Kyoko who fell into a deep sleep because of the soft bed.

"Yao Xing, how much money do you have on you now?" He asked in a low voice.

"Money?" Chaokong Yaoxing frowned, "I don't have much money on me, because my mother is in charge of the money, and I only have a few thousand at most."

"If it's okay, I'd like to trouble you and Auntie Zhongcai to buy a ferry ticket to Niigata with Kyoko. The disaster there is not as serious as here. You should settle there first."

Chaokong Yaoxing's small face was full of doubts. She didn't quite understand what Jiang Yuanshen was saying, so she tilted her head and asked:
"Why? My family has food, and the adults are working hard to help!"

Jiang Yuanshen looked at her blankly, and the explanation was very complicated.

"It's hard to develop on Zhiniao Island after the earthquake. Now let Aunt Zhongcai take you away and settle in Honshu. The salary there is at least [-] yen higher than here. It's much better than staying in Zhiniao Island."

"It's okay, don't you see that there are many people outside helping? Zhiniao Island will get better and better if it goes on like this. By the way, Xiao Shen, are you being too negative? Don't be so pessimistic."

Zhaokong Yaoxing thought that Jiang Yuanshen's mood was shocked by the earthquake, so he showed a gentle smile as much as possible,
"Are you hungry? I'll cook something for you. What do you want?"

Her smile and words were like the mental stabilizer in the capsule, which gave Jiang Yuanshen a feeling that the storm was gradually subsiding.

“Ordinary fried rice is fine.”

"Okay."

"Can I add sausage?"

"Idiot, of course!"

Chao Kong shook Xing Xing and said, his eyebrows became a horoscope, and Jiang Yuanshen couldn't help but sigh at her cuteness.

The girl got up to leave, she had soft silence and light on her body, as if she was really in it.

But what should I do next?Aunt Zhongcai will die suddenly due to work transition, and Asora Masamune is still addicted to night hunting and cannot extricate himself.

Jiang Yuan Shen looked at Jiang Yuan Jingzi, but she didn't know when she woke up.

Her eyes looked moist for a moment, and her pupils and face were filled with a dark, sad emotion.

But the moment he met Jiang Yuanshen's eyes, that feeling disappeared like a mirage.

Jiangyuan Kyoko tried hard to squeeze a smile on her tense face, but failed.

"Brother, is our home gone again?"

Jiang Yuanshen's breathing was almost half a beat slow, as if she was talking to herself in the future.

"It's okay, you and I are still here." Jiang Yuanshen stretched out his hand to stroke the bangs on her forehead.

"So are we leaving here?"

"Eh--?"

Jiang Yuanshen was stunned, does this "we" include himself?But now, how can I leave?
"Didn't you just tell Sister Yao Xing to ask Aunt Zhongcai to take us away from Zhiniao Island?"

The two ushered in a brief silence.

For some reason, Jiang Yuanshen could sense that the atmosphere had become tense.

"Well, when the time comes, I will go with you, Shake Xing, and Auntie Zhongcai." Jiang Yuanshen smiled, stretched out his hand and pinched her baby's fat face and said, "Let's go to Niigata to start a new life."

　Thank you for the reward of the Sakura Cup, and thank you for your monthly tickets and recommendation tickets.
