After that, Yunqiu would go to the other side of Rashomon every once in a while to bring some food to Jifu Taro to improve his life.

At first, Jifu Taro, who was hungry, would accept it, but for some reason, he would never take anything from Yunqiu.

Yunqiu was also a stubborn person. He would just leave the things and leave, regardless of whether he would take them or not. He would just put them in front of him.

As time went by, the two of them became more familiar with each other. At least Jifu Taro was not so vigilant and was willing to talk to Yunqiu. He would always say thank you.

Yunqiu then realized that someone had learned from her and poisoned the food to kill Jifu Taro. If he hadn't been lucky, he would have died long ago.

Seeing him eat rats and snakes, Yunqiu felt distressed and had a headache.

This is my future general!

How can he eat so badly!

No! Just take the two of them over!

When he went there again, Yunqiu saw him squatting in the same corner, holding a worn-out sickle in his hand, and in front of him was a nailed-to-death snake, still twisting its body.

He cut off the snake's head neatly, then stood up with the snake's twisting body, ready to go home.

He looked up and saw Yunqiu standing not far away. Jifu Taro hid the sickle and snake behind him in a panic. From a distance, he thought he had a moving tail...

Jifu Taro was already ten years old, and still looked very thin, but at least he would not hunch his back or lower his head after Yunqiu's corrections.

"Sister Yunqiu."

Jifu Taro hurriedly bowed and greeted her. This was what he learned from others. To treat distinguished guests, one should bow and greet them.

Yunqiu was the light in his gloomy life. After his mother's death, she helped the two of them through a very difficult period.

On cold snowy days, he would send them quilts, care about their lives, and teach those who bullied him a lesson.

"How are you doing recently?"

Jifu Taro was a little nervous, so he could only nod and stand up awkwardly.

"How is Xiaomei?"

"Someone wants to train Xiaomei to be an oiran, and Xiaomei agreed, so she is learning the piano with the boss lady."

It turns out that Xiaomei has already started to be a prostitute...

It seems necessary to take them away quickly. This is not a good place. There are many old uncles who take advantage of her.

If Xiaomei wants to be an oiran, it is safer to leave her under my command and let the people of Sanyueya take care of her. With Xiaomei's appearance, it is only a matter of time before she becomes an oiran.

"Do you want to take Xiaomei to live with me?"

"I like you very much."

Jifu Taro was stunned and couldn't believe what he heard.

In his eyes, Yunqiu has always been an unattainable existence. Jifu Taro is very grateful for her help, but he never dares to ask for more.

For people like them at the bottom of Rashomon, being able to live is a luxury.

It is a joke to rely on others for life.

Jifu Taro always hopes that he can become stronger, have the ability to protect his sister, and earn enough money to eat.

He thought that Yunqiu would disappear directly, as if she was tired of playing this charity game, but he never thought that she would take him away from such a place.

The sound of the snake struggling in his hand brought him back to his thoughts. It took Jifu Taro a long time to find his voice, "Why? I... I look so ugly... You are still willing..."

Yun Qiu patted his head, just like when they first met, "Appearance is only part of it. You are very brave. You protected Xiaomei and raised her well."

"Life is like this, painful but tenacious. The wrong person is not you, but... this world."

Sorry, brother Kaneki, I used your famous saying.
