"Brother Mute, did you know? Our Tachibana family was once the top kendo family in Japan."
"My father reached the ninth level of Kendo at the age of twenty-five. He was spotted by the master of the Kensei Palace and wanted to accept him as his disciple. At that time, our Tachibana family was very prosperous and had a dojo in Tokyo. But in the year I was born,
, he is known as the Miyamoto family, the first family of kendo in Japan.
The family genius Miyamoto Noo defeated him and broke his hand tendon. Although his father later took the hand back, his swordsmanship level also dropped greatly. The place in the Sword Master Palace was also taken away by Miyamoto Noo. In addition,
My mother died in childbirth, which made him completely depressed.
Even the kendo gym in Tokyo was sold and returned to Kashima City.
When I was young, my father was very strict with me. I didn’t understand him at first and even resented him in my heart.
But one time when my father was drunk, he accidentally said something.
He said that Miyamoto Noo did not defeat him openly. A good friend of his in Tokyo came to visit him the day before. The two of them had something to eat together. Soon after, he had diarrhea. When the duel happened the next day, he had no strength at all.
None...
Later, he saw his friend appear at Miyamoto's house.
Since then, I have understood my father's obsession.
As my father's daughter, I must fulfill his wish, defeat the Miyamoto family's kendo masters in the kendo competition, and restore the reputation of our Tachibana family.
But I started signing up for kendo competitions three years ago.
He has never made it to the national finals, let alone compared with the kendo geniuses of the Miyamoto family, who have won the kendo championship for ten consecutive years.
No matter how hard I try.
There's no way I can beat them.
Now, I can't even pick up the sword..."
Haruko suddenly lowered her head, tears falling on the floor.
Although she has been pretending to be fine in front of her father these days, in fact, she is still full of sadness deep in her heart. The dream she has worked hard for so many years has just given up, but she will only show it in front of the mute.
Suddenly a hand pulled her up.
"Brother mute, what are you doing?"
Qingzi saw the mute holding her hand and walking towards a room.
When she walked into the room, it was filled with medicinal gas. This was the room where the medicinal herbs were stored. When she saw the mute leading her here, Haruko was a little puzzled.
At this time, the mute had already let go of her, walked to the big wooden cabinet, and started rummaging there.
Soon, the dumb man found various kinds of medicinal materials in the cabinets. After taking about a dozen kinds of medicinal materials, the dumb man picked up the frying pan aside, put the medicinal materials in it and started to fry them.
"Brother Mute, are you making medicine?"
Haruko was a little surprised, but she remembered her father saying that when she was in a coma that day, it was her mute brother who saved her with medicine. Now seeing this scene, she was sure that her father did not lie to her.
But soon she felt something strange.
She had also seen her father's decoction and drank it often.
But the mute brother's cooking was different from his father's. He kept patting the frying pan with his hand, not caring about the burning hot pot.
The medicinal essence inside gradually became stronger.
Tsk!
Finally, a puff of light red medicinal gas came out of the pot lid, like a spiritual snake.
The lid of the pot flew up.
The mute brother picked up the pot and found three light red pills in it.
He grabbed one, put it in front of his eyes, looked at it, and then handed it to Haruko.
"Mute brother, are you letting me take it?" Qingzi took the pill, which was about the size of a soybean and had a red amber skin on the surface.
The mute nodded.
"This..." Qingzi looked at the mute. Even a fool knew that medicine should not be taken randomly, but after looking into the mute's clear eyes for a few seconds, Qingzi opened her mouth and swallowed the medicine.
She didn't believe that her mute brother would harm her.
Although I don't know what kind of medicine it is.
But if you don't eat it, the mute brother will definitely be disappointed.
As soon as she swallowed the pill, a sudden heat surged through her body, and waves of heat poured into her body, making her body feel like tens of thousands of ants were crawling.
"So numb and itchy!"
Haruko's face changed. She wanted to reach out and grab her, but it was of no use. It was like there were ants crawling everywhere in her body. Even though Haruko was a very patient person, she still couldn't hold on.
Gradually, the numbness and itching penetrated from the inside of the body to the outside of the body, as if something was flowing out. Her whole body was wet. When she touched it with her hand, it turned out to be dark red.
"Blood?"
"This can't be poison, it's impossible. Even if it's poison, the mute brother didn't mean it. He might just want to help me."
Haruko said in horror.
After about ten minutes, the itching finally left her body.
Haruko saw that all her clothes were soaked with the dark red liquid that oozed from her body. She even ran to the bathroom. She must not let her father see her like this, otherwise he would call the police.
She was in the bathroom, washing her body.
After she finished washing, Haruko was stunned.
She looked at her body. She had suffered many injuries from practicing swordplay since she was a child, so she had many scars on her body, but those scars were almost invisible now.
She walked to the mirror and looked at it. It was not an illusion. Not only the front, but also the scars on her back were gone.
At the same time, the dull burning pain in many places up and down the body also disappeared, and the whole person seemed to be twice as light, with a feeling of being reborn.
"Could it be... the mute brother's medicine!"
Haruko was surprised and delighted by the changes in her body. It was simply a miracle, and the only thing that could explain this miracle seemed to be the pill she just swallowed.
She quickly put on her clothes, ran out of the bathroom, rushed to the mute, and hugged him: "Thank you, brother."
The mute smiled at her.
"Brother, you laughed!"
Haruko was pleasantly surprised that the mute was actually smiling at her. This was the first time she saw such a human expression on the mute's face.
"Brother, you look really handsome when you smile. You should smile more often."
Haruko didn't mean it as a compliment, because when she saw the mute smile, it seemed as if the whole world came alive and her heartbeat accelerated a few beats.
But soon the mute returned to his usual confused look.
Haruko was a little disappointed.
She held her hands and encouraged herself, Haruko, come on!
The mute brother is much better than when he first met her. Not only will he make medicine for her, but he will also smile at her. I believe that it will not take long for the mute brother to become normal again.
Next two days.
Qingzi takes a medicine given to her by Dumb every day.
The second reaction was much milder than the first, but some dark red liquid still seeped out of the body.
Even less on the third day.
After taking three pills, the scars on her body completely disappeared.
Haruko feels that her physical condition has never been better.
