Tears of anger welled up in Qingzi's eyes: "Why should you tie him up? If he doesn't want to, don't force him."
"Yoshi! My hands have been broken, and you still blame me. Such a mentally disturbed and dangerous person should be sent to the police station and locked up."
Yoshida suddenly screamed.
He was kicked in the face by Haruko and fell to the ground.
"Hey, what do you want to do?" The man in the white coat next to Yoshida quickly stood up and shouted, but by this time Haruko had already ran out of the shelter.
"Mute brother."
Haruko's eyes were red and she looked at the streets around her. She ran and shouted.
However, there was no response from all around, and she ran for a long time without seeing the mute homeless man. Finally, Haruko squatted on the side of the road and cried.
She felt it was her fault that the homeless man got lost.
Obviously I saw the state of the shelter yesterday.
And left him in there.
As a result, he was treated unfairly. Now, as a person who has to be taught how to eat and dress, will he be in danger if he lives outside? What should he do if he meets the same group of people from yesterday again?
Haruko was extremely worried.
Kashima City is not a big city, but if a person gets lost, he will be in a sea of people, and he will have to look for a needle in a haystack.
But she didn't dare call the police.
Now the mute brother has injured everyone in the shelter. If the police are called, he will probably be imprisoned even if he is found.
Crying and crying.
Haruko suddenly stood up and got on the car heading to Kashima Port.
After getting off the bus at the port, she came to the place where she found the mute again. When she saw him for the first time, she remembered that he was sitting there, staring at the sea in a daze.
So she came here again.
She also knew that this hope was slim. After all, this place was more than ten kilometers away from the shelter. How could a homeless man without the ability to take care of himself walk back here through the entire city of Kashima.
Suddenly, her eyes widened and her heart seemed to beat out of her chest.
She quickly ran down the steps of the port, came to the rocks on the seaside, and shouted: "Mute brother."
On a raised rock on the seashore, a man sat there with his back to her, looking into the distance. Haruko saw that he had no reaction, while the sea water kept lapping at the shore, and the water splashed on him.
She quickly jumped over the rocks and came to the rock where the tramp was sitting.
"Mute brother."
Qingzi suddenly paused. She saw the homeless man looking into the distance, motionless, with a trace of confusion and struggle in his clear eyes.
Qingzi thought about the two times she saw the mute, and he always looked at the sea.
This time after he came out of the shelter, he ran back here again.
Is there something there that makes the mute brother "never forget" even after losing his memory?
Haruko also tried her best to look into the distance, but all she saw was the sea water.
What's there on the other side of the sea?
Haruko shook her head. She couldn't figure it out, but she knew she couldn't let her mute brother stay here anymore. The tide would rise here at night and he would drown.
"Mute brother." Haruko lightly touched the homeless man's shoulder.
The mute suddenly reached back and grabbed Qingzi's hand.
Haruko screamed in pain.
"Brother mute, it's me!"
When the tramp saw Haruko in front of him, his eyes fluctuated for a moment, and then he let go of Haruko's hand.
Although he still didn't speak, Qingzi found that the mute's eyes were not as dull as yesterday, and she could even see a little apology in his eyes.
Although it was very small, this discovery still made Haruko so happy that she even forgot about the pain in her hands.
"Brother, you still remember me, don't you?"
Under Qingzi's repeated questioning, the mute finally nodded.
"That's great." Qingzi said quickly, "I'll take you home, okay?"
Seeing a mute, he did not speak.
Qingzi said quickly: "I'm not talking about that place yesterday, but my home. I'm sorry, it was my mistake yesterday. I shouldn't have left you in that place, brother."
This time, Qingzi vowed not to let the mute live outside or send him to a shelter. Although her family was likely to be furious, she decided to take the mute home.
As Haruko spoke, she shed tears of guilt again.
She is a very stoic girl. She practices swordsmanship and will never shed tears no matter how hard it is.
But I cried several times today.
Suddenly there was a little warmth on her face, and she saw the mute actually put his hand on her face and wiped away her tears.
"Brother." Haruko was a little shy but very happy.
She felt that the mute was beginning to look humane, unlike yesterday, when he seemed to be just an empty shell with no soul inside.
"Brother, let's go, the sea water will rise soon."
As Haruko spoke, she took the mute's hand. This time, the mute did not resist and was pulled by her all the way back to the shore.
Haruko walked out of the port with the mute, got on the bus, and passed through half of the city of Kashima. After getting off the bus, she saw a dense area of houses in front of her, the alleys were very narrow, and there were telephone poles on the roadside.
This is a civilian area of Kashima City, where relatively poor citizens live.
Haruko turned left and right in the alley, and then stopped at a gate. The facade of this house was relatively large. Although it was also very old, it was obviously more grand than the nearby houses.
There is a plaque at the door that says "Tachibana Dojo".
There were also faint sounds of shouting coming from inside.
Haruko opened the door and walked in with the mute. At the entrance was a dilapidated courtyard with some human-shaped targets and three or five children wielding bamboo swords there.
On the steps in front of the house inside, sat a middle-aged man wearing a long robe with a somewhat decadent expression. He was holding a bamboo sword and a bottle of wine in his hands, pointing while drinking.
Seeing Qingzi come in, he immediately shouted: "Qingzi, why are you coming back so late? Do you want to escape from practicing?"
"Father."
Qingzi bent down, and at this time, the mute also came in.
When the middle-aged man saw the mute, he immediately came over vigilantly: "Who is he?"
"Father, this is a friend of mine. He has no place to live. I want him to live in the dojo temporarily." Haruko said.
"presumptuous!"
The middle-aged man yelled: "Qingzi, you dare to bring a man home. Have you forgotten your family motto? No wonder you have been distracted these past two days. You really let me down. Let him get out."
The middle-aged man raised the bamboo sword in his hand and pointed it at the mute.
"Father, please listen to my explanation. Things are not what you think. He is just an ordinary friend of mine..." Qingzi quickly grabbed the middle-aged man's hand and begged.
"I don't need to hear your explanation, get out of here."
The middle-aged man pushed Haruko away, and then swung his sword towards the mute.
