Give weak women a heart of steel

Chapter 283 The Missing Parents

"Those who got the gold moved to the big cities in great sorrow and lived a happy life."

"Those who did not get the gold stayed here happily and lived in extreme poverty."

"When they become poor again, that's when they come back and settle here."

"It's like plowing the fields and giving birth as usual. Waiting for some kind of opportunity to come to them. It's like gambling. If you are lucky enough, you can get piles of gold."

Yukino Teru replied leisurely.

Xia Tingfei listened and said again: "You are only talking about those who have obtained gold, and what I want to ask is those who have turned into gold."

"What's there to ask?" Xueye Teru sneered: "Do you still need to ask about this kind of thing?"

"That is gold with the same volume as the human body." She laughed: "The moment you get infected, it is equivalent to a treasure. Their parents will not abuse them, but on the contrary, protect them. Those parents will try their best to protect them. We will do our best to meet the needs of those patients, even if it is delicacies from the mountains and seas, we will do our best to satisfy them."

"Do you know why?"

"It's a very simple thing." Xia Tingfei said lightly: "They are not satisfying their children, but satisfying a gold mine. The bigger the body is when they die, the more gold they will get. .”

"Look, you already know everything. Why are you still asking me?" Xueyezhao waved his hand, signaling Xia Tingfei to leave quickly.

"Teacher, you haven't told me about Tsukimura Aoi, how could I leave." Xia Tingfei said.

Yukino Teru clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction: "So, today's students are really annoying."

Even though she said this, by then her face had an expression of memories.

"In the beginning, Xiaokui was always alone. Her parents or family members never seemed to appear. Their family lived in the most remote place in the village, and few people visited their home."

"The first time she played with us was when she came to the hot spring hotel. At that time, even though she was the youngest, we remembered that she had great ideas."

"She is not the kind of person who blindly obeys. She has extraordinary courage. At the beginning, she was taciturn. But later, she gradually became cheerful."

"It's like her name has become a bright and smiling sunflower."

"I really can't take credit for it. I don't know what happened to her. I just know that she suddenly turned into a cheerful child."

"However, the smile on her face did not last long, and she was sent to a nursing home."

After Xueye said that, she spread her hands: "This is all I know, so now you just get out of here, and then you can do whatever you want, as long as you don't cause trouble for me."

"Thank you for being useless." Xia Tingfei replied dissatisfied.

"You can go find the female general." Xueye Teru spread his hands: "She is an old woman much older than me, and she is more familiar with the history of Tosuui Village than I am."

"Female general?" Xia Tingfei said with regret: "Now, we probably can't find her, so we have to make plans tomorrow."

"By the way, teacher. Can Tsukimura Aoi live with you?"

"Do you think I can live in my current condition?"

Xueye Teru looked at his messy room, there was really no way anyone could live here.

"Zhumura Aoi won't care." Xia Tingfei said; "She is a good girl, isn't she."

Before Yukino Teru had any reply, he walked out of Yukino Teru's room.

While walking on the fourth floor of the girls' building, he encountered many girls wearing baggy yukata.

He passed by these girls without changing his expression, but now it was the girls who looked weird.

Standing in front of the girls' door, he knocked several times.

"Haichao, I'm here to find Aoi Tsukimura."

Xia Tingfei just said this and heard various voices inside.

"Hurry, get dressed quickly, a boy is coming."

"Where's my skirt?"

"..."

Hearing the strange noises inside, Xia Tingfei knocked on the door again helplessly.

"Stop knocking, we're almost done!"

Ueno Naoko shouted.

After a while, Xia Tingfei finally saw the girls.

His hair was messy and his clothes were messy.

She was wearing a school uniform skirt outside her yukata, and her hair was tied up crookedly.

Looking at the girl inside, Hai Chao Zao Xian blushed, while Ueno Naoko was very angry.

Tsukimura Aoi was completely indifferent.

There were other girls standing nearby angrily.

"So, what were you doing just now?"

"It's just some games between girls." Naoko Ueno said casually, and looked at Xia Tingfei warily: "I can't give you Zhucun, it's night now."

She bit the word "night" clearly, and the meaning was self-evident.

Even the tide algae was staring at Xia Tingfei.

"I'll let her live in the teacher's room, where it's safer."

"That's it," Naoko Ueno said regretfully, "I thought we could play together tonight."

Tsukimura Aoi didn't say anything. She was wearing clothes made of seaweed.

It looks like a perfect fit, only a little tight on the chest.

But it is extremely reasonable to think about it, after all, she is already an adult.

When Xia Tingfei was about to leave, Hai Chao Zaochi bit his lip and couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Tomorrow, do you have time tomorrow?"

"Wow~~" Ueno Naoko and other girls cheered together.

In particular, Naoko Ueno said: "Smart people will not refuse under such circumstances."

"I will probably have time tomorrow." Xia Tingfei thought about his arrangements carefully. After finding the female general, he would have some time to make arrangements.

The tide algae crumbs smile with satisfaction.

Tsukimura Aoi followed Xia Tingfei in slippers, and the two of them walked towards the stairs.

The girls were lying next to the door one by one, looking at the scene: "This girl's light blond hair is so beautiful."

"The most beautiful thing is her light golden eyelashes. The natural color is so enviable."

Naoko Ueno said, poking at the seaweed chips again: "Your competitor is here, and she has a better figure than you."

"I also have blue hair and eyelashes." Hai Chao Zao Xian touched his long curled eyelashes and felt that he was not inferior to that golden girl.

Naoko Ueno couldn't help but click her tongue: "You girls who are born with good colors are born to be envied by us."

The other girls also looked at her blue eyelashes and short blue hair with envy. This light blue color like sea water is really enviable.

"I thought you guys weren't playing games."

Xia Tingfei tried to ask. The girl just looked at the scenery outside the corridor, and the bright moonlight shone into the corridor.

The figures of the two people were extremely long.

After a while, Xia Tingfei heard the girl say: "They were just discussing love. Is that blue-haired girl your girlfriend?"

"Maybe, probably, maybe."

Xia Tingfei said calmly: "Your sister Zhao is also here. From her room, you can probably see the golden flower field."

The girl remained silent and refused to answer.

But Xia Tingfei has already summed up a set of effective countermeasures for the girl.

If a girl answers, she probably doesn't care too much about this kind of thing.

If there is sudden silence, it proves that she cares about this kind of thing very much.

"That flower field is indeed something extremely important to her."

Xia Tingfei thought this, but found that he could not continue to advance the topic no matter what.

He could only remain silent like this, and when he almost reached Yukino Teru's room, he said: "See you tomorrow, Tsukimura Aoi."

As before, the girl remained silent.
-
  By the early morning of the next day, Xia Tingfei had already finished washing.

He found a maid who was cleaning: "Hello, where is the maid? I have something to ask."

Although the girl was a little confused, it was because she was Yukino Teru.

"Please wait a moment, I have to make an announcement first." The waitress smiled sheepishly.

Xia Tingfei had no choice but to stand in the courtyard of Xicui Village and knock on the other maids who were cleaning.

The maids clean very seriously. They wear slightly old-fashioned clothes. When cleaning, they need to tie the sleeves on both sides with ropes on their shoulders.

A section of the white forearm was exposed, which looked extremely dazzling in the early morning light.

After a while, the waitress came back.

With a smile on her face, she bent down slightly: "The female general has decided to see you. Please come here."

"excuse me."

Xia Tingfei said the same thing as usual and followed the maid.

The waitress did not lead Xia Tingfei along the paths used by employees, but instead walked along the corridor.

It was clear that he was coming to the end, but suddenly he took a turn, making Xia Tingfei a little dizzy.

After repeating it seven or eight times, Xia Tingfei could no longer find where he was.

Finally, the waitress stopped in front of a room.

She knelt down on the corridor next to her and knocked on the sliding door.

Wait until you hear an aging voice coming from inside - come in.

The waitress pushed it open in one breath and signaled Xia Tingfei to go in.

It was clearly early in the morning, but the room seemed extremely dark. It was filled with smoke and looked foggy inside.

The female general held a slender pipe in her hand, with faint sparks burning inside.

"I'm taking my leave."

The waitress spoke softly, and then followed etiquette and closed the sliding door in three steps.

Xia Tingfei sat cross-legged directly in front of the female general, and he felt regretful - there were two or three maids standing behind the female general.

Maybe to train a successor?
  But it is precisely because of this that he cannot use Qinghua.

He thought this to himself and shifted his gaze to the female general again.

"Do you want to ask me something?" The female general looked at Xia Tingfei with squinted eyes.

"Zukura Aoi." Xia Tingfei didn't have any intention of talking in circles with these people, so he said it bluntly: "I want to know everything about Tsukura Aoi."

The female general looked Xia Tingfei up and down: "How rude. Is this how Xueye teaches his students?"

"Probably?" Xia Tingfei didn't care: "Xue Yezhao is a good teacher. As the so-called good teacher means, he just doesn't have such rules."

"This is surprising." The female general pursed her lips and said this, staring at Xia Tingfei.

But Xia Tingfei was too lazy to say anything and looked at the female general in the same way.

"The Tsukimura family has a couple and a pair of sisters." The female general said slowly: "A long time ago, their family moved here."

"Like all the people who moved here, they were very poor. They were so poor that they didn't even have a TV at home. They could only order newspapers for their daughters to solve their boring problems. Even because, in their hands, They don’t have much money. Only by the end of the month can they save enough money, so they buy expired newspapers from the previous month.”

"But there was light in their eyes. They talked about many plans, such as making a comeback. As the sisters grew bigger, they became more and more happy."

"However, my sister is becoming more and more dull and sluggish. The sister in that family is a very good girl. Although she does not have extraordinary wisdom, the only thing worthy of praise is her hard work."

"Later, her elder sister got into the top university in Daxue through her own efforts and found a good job outside the city. But the younger sister became more and more unlucky. It was said that she only had a smile on her face for a short period of time. .”

After the female general finished speaking, she waved her hand, indicating that Xia Tingfei could leave.

"Thank you very much."

Xia Tingfei left here as he spoke.

He already fully understood the hidden meaning of the female general's words.

"The whereabouts and dealings of my elder sister and younger sister can be clearly understood. So, where are their parents?"

"As a treasure, Aoi Tsukimura is still in the nursing home, but the parents have never appeared again."

Xia Tingfei felt like he had grasped something.

Walking slowly along the corridor, twisting and turning.

After a while, he arrived at the entrance of Xicui Village and walked down the long ladder.

After sending a message to Hai Chao Zao Xian, Xia Tingfei stood at the door and waited slowly.

I don’t know how long it took before the sea tide algae came out.

She was wearing a black dress today, with a lace placket and a corset.

She looks like a young lady.

Holding a small black parasol, she jogged at first, but when she approached Xia Tingfei, she walked slowly.

While walking, he was combing his bangs.

With a shy expression on her face, she said, "Good morning, Minister."

Xia Tingfei laughed dumbly, deliberately messing up his bangs and hair that had been combed with seaweed flakes.

After looking at the sea tide and pouting, he said, "Just call me Xia Tingfei."

"I don't want to be remembered by Kana-san." Hai Tide Zaozu muttered.
