It fell asleep

Yamada came out of the clinic and had just stitched up the wound.

The doctor intended to let him stay overnight, but he still endured the pain and went home.

Just as he walked out of the clinic, a phantom suddenly appeared in front of him. He rubbed his eyes, almost mistakenly thinking that he had encountered a ghost.

The red umbrella drifted closer, and before I knew it, I was three steps away.

“Bai Boss?” Yamada noticed that Bai Wei’s Tsing Yi sleeves were dripping with blood: “Your hands?”

“It’s not my blood.” Bai Wei shook his head.

“The clinic is right here, but I don’t know if it can be cured.” Looking at the cat in Bai Wei’s arms, Yamada suddenly felt a little pain from the wound.

“Let me ask you something.” Bai Wei said, “Where is Yoshino’s hometown?”

“On the edge of Kofune Town, a few streets away, not very far away.” As Yamada said, he suddenly realized and stared at the cat: “The cat in your hand, could it be…”

Bai Wei remained silent.

Yamada gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll lead the way.”

“unnecessary.”

“I’ll take you there!”

“……it is good.”



After walking a few streets, a quaint old house appeared in front of my eyes.

It is obvious that this house is at least a hundred years old. The houses in Yingzhou are almost all wooden beams and foundations. The overall beams have shown collapse and seem to be crumbling.

A house that no one lives in will be damaged more quickly if it loses popularity.

Bai Wei stopped in front of the house, looked at the plaque on the house, and asked with a frown.

“Isn’t this house already sold?”

“It was sold, but because of the death of Mr. Yoshino’s family, the neighbors jointly wrote a book and delivered it to the shogunate. The execution office stopped the project and kept half of it.Street… At present, the ownership of this house belongs to the shogunate, but no one takes care of it. ”

Yamada walked to the main entrance and tried to pull the door. Unexpectedly, the door was pulled open with just a light force.

The wooden tenon structure behind the wooden door has long been decayed, and the air is filled with the smell of dust, cobwebs and decay.

The outer layer of the house retains the basic layout of a wagashi shop, and the tables are covered with red cloth.

Bai Wei put down his umbrella and said softly, “You’re home.”

Hearing these words, the tricolor cat shook its ears and opened its eyes.

Looking at this familiar scene and object, I don’t know where to generate strength, and I jumped off Bai Wei’s hand.

It quickly passed through the outer hall, and it didn’t look like it was injured at all. It briskly jumped onto the tatami, passed through the space under the partition, and ran into the interior of the room.

Bai Wei followed slowly.

The three-flowered cat nimbly shuttled and ran around the room.

Did something come out of the corner?

Or a small puppet toy, or a little dirty quilt.

Dog lovers, cat fetishists.

Almost every door in the house has an open space below it to facilitate its passage. The large number of cat toys also proves how much it was loved by the family in the past.

Bai Wei lowered his head and picked up a handmade doll, which was covered with bite marks, patched and wrapped in leather.

In the room, he saw a wooden sewing machine, and a lot of processed fabrics were placed on the walls.

It is conceivable that there was a teenage girl sitting on this stool, gently turning the wooden wheel shaft, sewing dolls delicately and patiently, and perhaps humming some pleasant melodies, so that the sun should shine through The windows spilled into the room, illuminating her serious face, and there was a lazy tabby cat lying on her lap, purring comfortably.

At this moment, it was lying cross-legged on the stool, but it could no longer find the familiar body temperature.

Bai Wei approached and seemed to wake it up. It jumped off the stool, walked across the corridor, and ran to the courtyard.

Sighing softly, she followed the flower cat.

In the courtyard, it squatted obediently on the cushion beside the aisle.

He raised his eyes and looked at the tree in the courtyard.

It was an orange tree, and in autumn it would be full of fruit.

It raised its paw and wanted to touch it, but it lost the strength and almost fell into the mud pit in the courtyard.

At this time, one hand gently pinched the back of its neck and put it back on the mat.

Huamao turned her head: “Meow?”

In its eyes, it was the girl’s gentle smile.

“Be careful, don’t run around in the courtyard.”

“If you get too much mud, it will be troublesome to clean up. Dad will be angry.”

“You just bask in the sun here… Close your eyes and sleep, and the day will pass like this.”

Blue sky and bright sun.

The girl hummed.

The three-flowered cat lowered its head and changed to a comfortable position to lie down.

It rubbed against the cushion comfortably, and its breath smelled like the sun, as well as the faint scent of camellias on the girl’s body.

……what the hell.

…So it’s always been here.

…I have been looking for you for so long, so I can’t do this next time.

… If you get lost, be sure to tell me, I will take you home.

…Ah, I’m so sleepy.

The cat opened its mouth and yawned.

Eyelids are getting heavier and heavier, it must be because he has been running outside for too long.

It’s time to have a good sleep.

On the most comfortable cushion, the warmest sunshine, and by the side of my favorite relatives…

Just like that, quietly…

Go to sleep.



Rainwater dripped from the leaky eaves, and the cold rainwater flowed down Bai Wei’s palm, soaking his sleeves.

On the soft cushion under the sleeves, the cat quietly closed its eyes without making a sound.

The sound of rain was pattering.

I can’t see any sunlight.

After a while, Yamada said softly, “Master Bai…”

“Hush.”

Bai Wei raised his index finger.

“Don’t be too loud.”

“It just fell asleep.”



Waiting for the night rain to stop, the first ray of sunshine in the morning fell on the courtyard.

Bai Wei let go of the hand holding the eaves and said, “It’s dawn.”

Yamada, who watched the rain scene with him for several hours, also rubbed his eyes.

He sighed and said, “It’s dawn.”

“It’s a pity that we met too late. If it had been earlier…” Bai Wei said, “I’ll leave it to you to take care of it. It’s time to go back, otherwise my sister will talk about it.”

“Yes, it will definitely be done.” Yamada took a deep breath: “Bai Sang, I thought about a lot of things tonight, and now I finally figured it out.”

“What did you figure out?”

“I want to resign from the company.” Yamada said seriously: “I want to buy this store, renovate it, and reopen it! I will spend the rest of my life apologizing. I hope that after I go to Huangquan , have the guts to say ‘I’m sorry’ to them, and say ‘I’ve tried my best to forgive’, I know it’s impossible to get forgiven, but at least it’s better than doing nothing.”

Bai Wei looked at Yamada with some surprise. He noticed the exclamation mark on the top of the other’s head shining brightly under the morning light.

ã€A step towards new life】

Yamada bent down and bowed deeply: “Thanks to you, I have the courage to face the past directly, and the courage to go to the future. Your kindness is unforgettable! I will never forget it in my life!”

“When you open, I will take care of the business.” Bai Wei waved with his back turned, and dismissedLost in the light of the same color as the rising sun.
