Strong winds and heavy rain are still raging in Tokyo, which is sleeping in the night. This night seems to be particularly long, and the end of dawn cannot be seen.
Twenty minutes ago, Lu Mingfei left Master Yue's ramen stall. Now he had probably met Eri Yi. The two got on the helicopter and headed towards their destination tonight... a snake
A place where the Kihachi family cannot be found.
At this time, Uesugoshi was alone in the ramen stall car. He was washing the same ramen bowl repeatedly while recalling the conversation between the young man who had just left his ramen stall and himself, and he was in a daze.
There were too many facts that happened tonight, too many to be seen, too many to be caught off guard, and they were all major events that Uesugoshi had not expected.
First, his old friend Anger, whom he had not seen for more than sixty years, came to his ramen stall and told him about the recent general situation in Japan and the news that the "god" would be resurrected. Then he ate a bowl of ramen and half of the wine... If
The arrival of Angers was not that surprising to Uesugoshi, but the following young people were completely beyond Uesugoshi's expectations.
Mai Shutoku, an old acquaintance who once studied at the University of Tokyo, and Mai Shutoku's friend who spends quite a lot of money, and then there is the mysterious young man named Lu Mingfei, who he just learned not long ago is his daughter.
The painted pear clothes.
In fact, what kept Uesugi still unable to recover was the news that Lu Mingfei told him. Uesugi never thought that he had children in this world? And three of them? And all three children were far away from him.
In such a close place, everyone lived in the same city for a certain period of time. Maybe they passed each other in the crowd but did not know each other's identity. This is a very strange feeling. What is even more bizarre is that I
I had already met one of the children without realizing it, and even served her ramen.
All of this is so illusory, like a bizarre dream, but extremely real... Uesugoshi has unconditionally believed Lu Mingfei's words, because he could not find any flaws in Lu Mingfei's words.
The young man had no reason to deceive himself about this kind of thing. As he said, the blood connection between father and child can be easily verified in today's highly advanced technology.
The magical experience of having a child puts Uesugi in a subtle state of mind. It feels like a poor beggar who suddenly picked up a winning Lotto ticket and can't help worrying about gains and losses... He
He didn’t dare to imagine what it would be like to receive a huge sum of money on the lottery day, let alone his life after becoming a rich man, because he was afraid that the bonus might not be redeemable due to some force majeure reasons, or that winning the lottery wouldn’t be possible at all.
It was just a beautiful dream of his own, and he was afraid that all this was just his own false happiness, because he could not bear the blow of losing it before he got it.
And what made Uesugoshi's state of mind, which had been silent for more than sixty years, go up and down like a roller coaster and fall into the abyss was the man named Masamune Tachibana. Before Uesugoshi could recover from the good news that he had three children, he suddenly fell into the abyss.
I was told that this cunning man hiding in She Qiba's house was using his children to try to kill his children.
Uesugoshi was not only furious, he was simply furious. He wished he could rush into Snake Qihachi's house right now. He grabbed the old guy's collar with an ancient sword in hand, pointed the blade at the aorta on the guy's neck, and asked him what he wanted to do.
What do you think of your child? If the answer doesn't satisfy you, just chop that guy into pieces with a knife and kill him... But chopping up such a bastard with a knife is probably not enough to vent your anger. Then he will blow up the kid that he hasn't used in more than sixty years.
Yan Ling, by burning that old bastard's body until nothing was left, it saved the need for cremation and saved resources for the already barren motherland.
But forget about this kind of thing. Uesugi knew that he couldn't do this. The young man named Lu Mingfei told him a series of plans frankly. If his own impatience led to something planned by Lu Mingfei,
If something goes wrong in this link, the consequences may indirectly affect the safety of his children. This is definitely not what Uesugi Yue wants to see. The only thing he can do now is to wait and endure until Lu Mingfei informs him that he needs to participate in this battlefield.
Moment.
At the same time, Uesugoshi suddenly realized that both Minamoto and Eriki were his children. At this moment, he recalled some of the words he had just said in front of Eriki. This old man who thought he was not thin-skinned was actually
I couldn't help but blush, like a red-hot iron stove.
Does Eri-chan have a boyfriend... A boyfriend is one level below her fiancé, two levels below her husband... A childhood sweetheart or a childhood sweetheart... Eri-chan and Minamoto grew up together.
, do you like that boy, do you want Yuan Zhisheng to be your boyfriend...
Now it seems that these words are really bastard words, big bastard words, simply bastard words without limit!
Even if Japan is a country where perversions and eccentricities are prevalent, as a father, it is too... against human ethics for him to marry his brother and sister!
Only then did Uesugoshi realize that no wonder after he said these words, Lu Mingfei suddenly darkened his face and angrily accused him of being a mess... wasn't this just a mess!
There are also Mai Shutoku and her friends. The two little girls are hiding aside and laughing... Uesugi originally thought that the two little girls were laughing at Lu Mingfei's secret love for Eriki, but she was so angry that she had seduce him to someone else.
, I never expected that the two little girls were actually laughing at themselves for messing up the rules.
At this time, Uesugi Yue recalled that what made him feel most embarrassed was that when he was talking nonsense, Lu Mingfei didn't even give him a hint or remind him, and just let him do it in front of Eri.
In front of Yi, he said that if he were fifty years younger, he would also like to experience the feeling of youth, saying that competing with Lu Mingfei and Eri Yi's morality and bottom line are both lacking... Now Uesugi Yue thinks about himself
When she said these words, two little girls, Mai Shutoku and her friend, looked at her with surprised and meaningful expressions. Uesugi wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it, never to come out again in this life.
"You little bastard! What a little bastard who deserves a beating!" Uesugi was so angry that his teeth itched with hatred.
Uesugi Yue recalled Lu Mingfei's upright and awe-inspiring look. No matter what he thought at the moment, he felt that the boy was sanctimonious. He suddenly realized that he had been too hasty in entrusting Eri to such a bad and bad boy.
After receiving too much shocking news, his brain went into chaos, he lost his judgment, and was driven away by the kid's words.
Wasn't it too easy for me to agree to that kid? After all, Eriyi is her only daughter. Her daughter is not like those two idiot sons. A creature like her daughter should be held in her arms, and Eriyi is so innocent.
With such a simple character, you won't be bullied by a cunning boy like Lu Mingfei who is full of evil intentions in the future?
"Damn it, you bastard! Who do you think you're messing with in the lake? That's my Uesugi's daughter!" The more Uesugi thought about it, the angrier he became. He unconsciously strengthened his hands to wipe the dishes, and snorted coldly, "I agree with you.
?I will not recognize you easily! If you want me to recognize you...you are a hundred years too early, you know!"
Uesugi was so immersed in his thoughts that he failed to notice in time that while he was talking to himself, a figure slowly walked towards the ramen stall from the distant wind and rain.
The figure came to the yatai cart and stood quietly outside the ramen stall. He did not lift the curtain and came in immediately, because the curtain dropped by the awning of the yatai cart covered the upper eaves of the ramen stall, and the visitor's face was hidden under the awning.
In the darkness behind the curtain, his face could not be seen clearly.
Uesugoshi was still immersed in the joy of suddenly having three children, and ignored what was going on outside the window. When the visitor approached, he casually glanced outside the curtain, and in a hurry, he only looked through the gap in the curtain.
I saw a figure wearing a black windbreaker. Judging from his height and build, he should be a man.
Uesugoshi waved his hands absentmindedly: "I've gone overseas, I've exhausted all the ingredients. If you want to eat noodles, come back tomorrow night... Oh no, I'd better not come tomorrow night. I need to prepare more ingredients.
Those children have a big appetite, so they don’t have anything to eat when they come to my noodle stall..."
Uesugoshi's tone was somewhere between a low voice and a whisper, as if he was speaking to the figure outside the ramen stall, but also as if he was inadvertently murmuring what was in his heart.
However, even after Uesugi Koshi gave the eviction order, the figure outside the curtain of the ramen stall still did not leave. He stood motionless in the night and wind and rain, and the strong wind rolled up the hem of his windbreaker, revealing a corner of his gorgeous lining.
"Did I not make it clear?" Uesugi frowned slightly when he saw that this visitor seemed unwilling to leave, but he still said patiently, "Then I will reiterate again, the ramen chef is very busy now, so there is no need to leave."
It’s time to entertain customers, and today’s ramen ingredients have been used up, so this ramen stall has gone out of business today and will not accept customers. If you want to eat ramen, walk out along this alley and walk on the road
Just wait for two hours, the chain ramen restaurant there opens at 7:30 in the morning."
But what the man who came outside the ramen stall did next was once again beyond Uesugoshi's expectations... The man opened the curtain of the yatai car and sat directly in front of Uesugoshi where Lu Mingfei had sat.
He took out a 10,000-yen bill from his pocket and slowly pushed it in front of Uesugoshi.
"I'll pay you for the ramen, but you don't have to help me make the noodles, and you don't have to treat me specially... I just want to find a place to stay. After I've had enough time to have a bowl of noodles, I will leave by myself." The man in black trench coat He whispered, with an unexplained tiredness in his voice.
"When I say I don't have time, I mean I don't have time. Don't you understand what I'm saying..." Uesugoshi's frown deepened, and he turned to look at this uninvited guest who couldn't be chased away.
However, the moment he saw this man clearly, Uesugoshi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and the rest of his words seemed to be stuck in his throat and stopped abruptly.
In Uesugi's view, the man in front of him at this moment was an extremely young man, who looked to be of the same age as Lu Mingfei and Eri.
The young man's body was covered with white bandages from the neck down. He looked like a seriously ill patient. The man did not hold an umbrella. He seemed to have walked to the ramen stall in the rain. At this time, regardless of the man's black Long hair, a black windbreaker, or black handmade custom-made leather shoes, all soaked from head to toe by the heavy rain, he looked like a black Tibetan mastiff that had rolled in a puddle.
However, what surprised Uesugoshi was not the man's age, nor his drowned appearance, but the man's demeanor.
Uesugoshi had never seen such tired eyes before. This man looked absolutely exhausted now. His eyelids were drooped and his eyes were dark and gloomy. This was not only a physical sleepiness, but also a physical sleepiness. A kind of exhaustion based on the soul. It looks like a refugee who fled here from the war zone in Afghanistan. His wife, children and all his family members died tragically in the war and rebellion. He himself is the only survivor, escaping all the way. Amidst the rain of bullets and jackals, tigers and leopards, I couldn't sleep for seven days and seven nights. I finally escaped and lost everything. My faith was shattered along with the collapse of my life.
But the priceless clothes and handmade leather shoes on the man showed that he could not be a war refugee escaping from some small border country. This young man seemed to be a local who was born and raised in a good family, and he spoke Japanese. Pretty standard.
If Uesugoshi had been careful enough, he might have discovered that the young man's demeanor at this moment was exactly the same as the one he had fled from the family when he learned the inside story of the family more than sixty years ago... They were all so at a loss, all the same. Hesitant, uneasy, and terrified, as if he has seen through this world full of falsehoods and malice, but can't find a foothold to settle down in this boundless world.
But Uesugoshi's thoughts at the moment were still stuck on Lu Mingfei's words. He didn't think about the young man who broke into the ramen stall in front of him at all. He only thought that this young man looked extremely frustrated, as if he had just walked into the ramen stall the day before yesterday. My mother died, my wife died yesterday, my father was hit by a car again today, all bad things happened to him.
This kind of young kid from a rich family wanders around in the rainy streets at midnight, covered in injuries, so vicissitudes of life and frustrated... What can make a young man become as vicissitudes of life as an old man?
Yes! Uesugi clapped his hands louder and louder, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind! It's absolutely true!
Uesugoshi scooped out the last layer of wine from the barrel and poured it into the wine cup. He pushed the wine cup in front of the young man and patted the young man's shoulders that were soaked by the rain with encouragement.
Uesugoshi said slowly with an attitude and tone that said, "Master, I've been here before." "Young man...are you lovelorn?"
