第九幕狼吻之伤(4/5)上（1/2）

细雨纷纷的某天。<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>q6nuIYmETbkdSyxBXvNgMCVpDr4OJL1jeiP39Azs</blockquote>

岛原的花街柳巷里，其中一间妓馆。角屋。<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>79ZloPmU15vaKqTjAOWQRJxdHYkzt8hbu06</blockquote>

「小玉姊姊……」君菊的贴身nV侍、年约十三岁的nV孩，往厨房探头低唤，「请问，有人看见小玉姊姊吗？」<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>2O1E8cgXWrI56MNaespbhjSuzmYLVfTx7dC4wGAZ</blockquote>

「在後头洗菜呢。」一名厨工b了b侧门的方向。<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>ky2FrtOXe13ojBqvKnRsgpYC0TDLEicIP6HVGSmA</blockquote>

「谢谢。」<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>VmaWyXbpSElqtceUZJiBTu71gAvLFD5G0nkRdYM8</blockquote>

打过招呼，nV孩绕过回廊奔向厨房另一边，找到蹲在廊檐下的朱琬萍。「小玉姊姊！」<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>6vlHeNgn8xXt02uzQPBJm45cj1VoiELWYO3ksafp</blockquote>

「小采？」朱琬萍闻声抬头，「怎麽了？」<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>2FCQSzex7qPcw4BgultO1K8fLhDX30vpmA6biaGM</blockquote>

「菊姊姊找你……」被唤作小采的nV孩送上布巾要朱琬萍擦手，「请你现在过去一趟。」<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>43ieVzNYRMarPSxfd8WXu61OIb7kCcDEoQsUn2FB</blockquote>

「现在？」朱琬萍低头看了面前的大木盆一眼。<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>wcsepJbFQakUZ6DNxOXGr4qd08hYIHWS</blockquote>

「是的。」小采递出手中的那把伞，「快去吧，我会转告厨房一声。」<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>WvM5LTBcZYlp3Q0AbSIgajU2OKtDyGRwfxi</blockquote>

「好吧，麻烦你。」解下绑住衣袖的榉，朱琬萍撑开油伞之後走进雨中。<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>o0964mLSuaYZBVc8j3gwXA17lTEifDHNWKp2rtRI</blockquote>

穿过一座庭院，朱琬萍来到角屋的当家花魁——君菊的房间。简单招呼之後入内，朱琬萍看着房间里的客人，难掩惊讶。<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>eRrwhEFqdTD1IalHMgU0YXAfi5Bu23OotknyGWmZ</blockquote>

「千鹤？你怎麽又来了……」朱琬萍转头看着坐在雪村身旁的山崎，「组里出了什麽事吗？」<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>um2arAH3YeCMpBSOFQ1iKdwtonXWGy8IT5hz6fJ9</blockquote>

她来到这里才一个多月，千鹤已经至少来看过她三次，每次都得有位组长跟着、还必须透过君菊小姐掩人耳目。<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>4wxh0gzEZIUTmDAbltGNoPQuF1jB2SsC38dJna6L</blockquote>

算上今天就第四次。即使出入烟花之地对男人们的名誉无损，但老是麻烦君菊小姐作掩护，她自己也不好意思了。<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>8EuhKoD6CrYisTbx2Fy4t7U0AcMjIdSQO9BRV3Ne</blockquote>

「没有，大家都很好。」拉住朱琬萍的手，雪村眨巴着隐隐泛cHa0眼瞳，「只是想念琬姊姊……」<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>JDIhqbuvfQSOwRMmUCeVKcTFgBAW952NtnExjr8Y</blockquote>

「并且奉副长之命，送东西过来。」山崎接口说道。<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>17b6VK4y9hCjBLmFkG5dfwsJSEDvulMqYgH</blockquote>

「副长大人真是客气。」<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>Ia5yzunRHmOjSfXZqsd7bL6Klh2x0CDGUcokEr43</blockquote>

君菊掩嘴轻笑，「请山崎先生代妾身向副长大人致谢，也请诸位大人放心，妾身一定会妥善照顾琬小姐。」<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>Wt4JCO7seE6V5TRDUlkzwxmpnLgroMZHXb0FGu2c</blockquote>

「……」<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>S0Vh4mOWIvxuqwYb8rlM2JjkQND7ygzPaKZtL3Co</blockquote>

瞥过放置在矮几上的布包，朱琬萍抬眸与君菊照会之後，走到山崎与雪村身後坐下。「请转告土方先生，来这里是我的决定，请他别再往自己心里堆石头。」<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>bkZpLKrAtCjE9ze5VXlU7PBN13d6OD0h8s4gGuHa</blockquote>

刻意搭上「千与君菊」这对鬼族主仆的线来到妓馆住宿打工，与其说她是不让大男人们为了怎麽维护她而想破头的为难，倒不如说她不想让事态继续扩展下去，波及原本能安稳待在屯所的千鹤。<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>50OzEv9btYMowm2UrQ4nXpJiD7Tlqk1RgxsFV3Hu</blockquote>

更重要的是——即使被困在这个世界暂时回不去，她也拒绝当一个命运任随他人C弄摆布的人！<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>PXBZa0O6dUW4ruDcjLE5twgToQ9YmfxiKRh2MCJs</blockquote>

既然伊东就是要赶她走，那她乾脆在对方真正出手暗算之前，自己先找个姑且避人耳目的安身之地。<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>F8PuMxna5jVLh2TO1d79oXlkbqzNUGiCYQ</blockquote>

「堆石头？」山崎与雪村对望一眼之後，回头看着朱琬萍。<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>TwkNGFo6Bu3XijnZ59SyqQAt4HgfRam1vh</blockquote>

「照实转述就好，他会懂的。」两只手同时r0u了山崎与雪村的头顶一把，朱琬萍微笑，「你们也不用担心我，我很好。」<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>J51VaXz4ge3Nlr0spRYAHxoWtbuvOfImknTi92KB</blockquote>

「说到担心……」<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>oJ1EhRQqKsml8r3kf4vVA0BcgZSCWMzYOXTtGHyN</blockquote>

山崎从怀里掏出一枚钱袋，举到朱琬萍眼前。「大家要你留在身边，以防不时之需。」<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>qhWN4rSAdGEetBipb2vKslPjyfXI1m857Hz9wFOC</blockquote>

「我要离开的时候，土方先生已经给过了。」朱琬萍推回那个钱袋，「帮我谢谢大家，真的不用替我担心。」<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>m49UnuZGS3q50H6wYiFrT2X7NeC8gdMBvzVcJsA1</blockquote>

「琬姊姊——」<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>nOsRv6IdDgHBUGpNrqCjYbQeJo2z95tW1xK7LFau</blockquote>

「真的不用，也不需要。」<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>aloEcd0gOi1IK5h9juxRBHtF3Y6wqGsyM7WL2JXf</blockquote>

不给雪村劝进的机会，朱琬萍将她与山崎从坐垫上拉起来，准备送客。「这里包吃包住还有工钱，组长们的好意我就心领了……」<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>j8pHzwdUMJshvO9LQFDa7XqZP3GYgomKVrcibuEx</blockquote>

再次回头挥手道别，雪村这才终於甘心随山崎走出角屋位於围墙角落的侧边小门。<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>gsBpui2Ml0kYQhT6mHyVzPURfKGawJcFrWIOobCd</blockquote>

两人回到新选组的屯所正在向土方汇报交涉情况，几名组长随即闻风而至。<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>1UjP5VzvHsOMifgIdu4xGEe7SyALhXDn8kBr9CTl</blockquote>

「……琬小姐要大家别担心她。」山崎将被退回的钱袋放在众人面前，「她目前一切很好。」<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>T0ymhpJlc9dMjLXBYoHx5fiqvtGbAe3KPO4</blockquote>

「是吗……」原田搓搓下巴思忖，「小琬不把我们凑给她的钱收下，这是用不到的意思？」<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>9ekBTJ5tsXKMZvyzhNVgYl8IcDmqua724OEpH1G6</blockquote>

「那边提供食宿还发给工钱，这段时间也前後打点了了两次……」<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>W8e3HrvRuUhdstNMJ2za0qjYnl61Ib4koO9yxAmD</blockquote>

双臂环x，土方沉Y，「她自己也说一切都好，想来应该没问题。」<blockquotecite=''https:///index''css=''cht''style=''background:#fff;border-left:5pxsolid#4a84ce;padding:20px50px;''>u34KEAlsjMa1RpeLJcfTXzP9vQG8B57DrtOqdb</blockquote>
