Chapter 2044 A Story

The village chief's house is near the square. Weijiu's mother-in-law is familiar with the house and arrived quickly.

Japanese-style buildings are all the same here, and even the village chief's house is no more special than other houses.

The door was open during the day. Mother-in-law Weijiu did not go in directly. Instead, she called someone outside the door: "Excuse me, is anyone home?"

"Come in, Weiku." A voice came from inside. It was Mr. Ohno's voice. It seemed that he had known that Weiku's mother-in-law would come.

Weijiu's mother-in-law walked in first, followed by Li Xuehao.

Entering the living room, I found Mr. Ohno smoking a cigarette alone. His voice was so quiet that it seemed like he was the only one in the whole house.

On the way, Li Xuehao had already heard from Weijiu's mother-in-law that Mr. Ohno had three children. The eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law were away from home and rarely came back once a year. The second son and second daughter-in-law stayed in the village to take care of him and his beloved son who had limited mobility. The youngest daughter works in Kamakura City and comes back occasionally during holidays.

"Weijiu, are you here to tell Aiko that that bastard has come back?" Mr. Ohno put down his cigarette and looked over with a sharp look.

"Ohno, Aiko will know sooner or later." This is indeed one of the purposes of Granny Weijiu's coming.

Mr. Ohno stared at her for a while, and finally said nothing: "Go, Aiko is in the room."

Mother-in-law Weijiu nodded. She knew which room Aiko was in. After all, it was not the first time.

From beginning to end, Mr. Ohno paid no attention to the young man who came with him. Perhaps in his opinion, this young man took away the glory of their village and was not so popular with him. It is also possible that he simply did not care whether there were others present.

Mother-in-law Weijiu walked inside along the corridor without stopping, and walked straight through the house to the backyard.

There is an independent small wooden house here. It is very small, about the size of a room, but its appearance is very exquisite, and it looks like a fairy tale house.

The people who live there are either children or children at heart.

The door of the wooden house was closed. Mother-in-law Weijiu came forward and knocked: "Aiko, are you in there?"

"Is it Sister Weijiu?" A female voice came from inside. The voice did not appear to be very old, but it had a gentle magnetism. You could tell from the voice that she should be a person who is easy to get along with. .

"Aiko, it's me." Weijiu's mother-in-law pushed open the door and walked in. Li Xuehao kept a little distance before following her in.

Entering the wooden house, I found that this was a small art exhibition. The surrounding walls were covered with all kinds of words, including ink paintings, sketches, oil paintings and colored paintings. There were various styles, but every painting Paintings, no matter flowers, plants or trees, give people a depressing feeling. It seems that the people who painted them have integrated their own depressed emotions into them.

"Sister Weijiu, you haven't been here for a long time." A person in a wheelchair was painting in front of a picture frame with her back to the two of them. Although she was not good at walking, her hands moved freely and she scribbled on the paper. , not affected at all.

"Yes." Mother-in-law Weijiu walked over and looked carefully at the painting she had drawn.

Li Xuehao did not hide the sound of his footsteps. He was very sensitive to the person painting them, and he immediately noticed something. He looked back and was surprised when he found that there was another young man.

"Aiko, he is my grandson, Koji." Mother-in-law Weijiu took the initiative to introduce her.

"Hello, Grandma Aiko." Li Xuehao greeted politely. The Ohno Aiko in front of him was younger than expected. According to her and Weijiu's mother-in-law, they were almost the same age. Like my mother-in-law, a person in his sixties looks similar to someone in his early fifties. His hair is slightly white, and there are not many wrinkles on his face. There is no aging at all for someone over sixty years old.

It can be seen that she has been well taken care of over the past few decades, so although there is a suppressed emotion in her body, at least on the surface, she is still sunny.

"Yiren-kun's grandson?" Ono Aiko exclaimed in low voice. She pushed the wheel with her hand and looked carefully at the young man in front of her. "It does look very similar to Yiren-kun."

"By the way, Yi Renjun..." As if he knew what she wanted to ask, before she could finish speaking, Weijiu's mother-in-law interrupted, "I won't mention him anymore, Aiko, how is your health lately?"

"It's still the same." Ohno Aiko laughed at herself. She was wearing a robe, and the hem covered her from the waist down to her feet.

Despite this, Li Xuehao still felt that her legs had long shrunk like a child, like two hemp poles, with almost no flesh.

"Sister Miku, are you here to participate in the 'Abalone Festival' today?" With such a lively scene outside, Ohno Aiko naturally knew what day it was.

"Yes, Aiko, Koji won the 'Abalone King' today." Granny Weijiu said with some pride.

"Oh?" Ohno Aiko was surprised at first, and then seemed to understand something, "He is indeed the grandson of sister Miku."

"I didn't teach him anything. Hao Er just had better luck." Weijiu's mother-in-law laughed. If it weren't for her luck, even she wouldn't have been able to catch the abalone king.

"Actually, the reason I came to see you today is because of one more thing. Kenichi is back."

"What?" Ohno Aiko's body trembled when she heard it, "Kenichi-kun...he, is he back?"

"After being missing for twenty years, it's time to come back." Mother-in-law Weijiu sighed. She could clearly feel Aiko's excitement, "Do you want to meet him?"

Ono Aiko's eyes lit up at first, but then dimmed again. She looked down at her legs that were covered by her skirt: "I, I'm still missing."

"Aiko, Kenichi won't care about this." Granny Miku knew what she was worried about.

"No, Sister Weijiu, I don't want him to see me like this." Ohno Aiko shook her head, suddenly remembering something, her expression became a little panicked, "Does brother know about this?"

"Ohno has already met Kenichi, and the two almost fought." Mother-in-law Miku said, but she didn't mention Kambara Kenichi's embarrassed appearance, which would only make Aiko even more worried.

"Sister Miku, you must stop my brother. In fact, me becoming like this has nothing to do with Kenichi-kun." Ohno Aiko said.

"Alas" Weijiu's mother-in-law let out a long sigh. If she could have stopped it, she would have stopped it long ago. In this kind of thing, she couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong, but she definitely hoped that the two sides could communicate peacefully instead of fighting.

Li Xuehao stood quietly next to him without interrupting.

After chatting for about twenty minutes, the mother-in-law took her leave before long, and Li Xuehao followed her out.

"Grandma, I'm going to buy something, you go back first." Li Xuehao found an excuse to run away.

Weijiu's mother-in-law glanced at him and seemed to guess that he was just an excuse to leave, but she didn't ask further questions and just warned: "Come back soon."

"Okay." Li Xuehao nodded.

Separating from Weijiu's mother-in-law, he found a deserted place alone and then disappeared into the air.

At the village chief's house, Li Xuehao walked in again, but this time he was invisible. Mr. Ohno was still smoking a cigarette in the living room, not knowing that anyone had come in.

Passing through the corridor, Li Xuehao came to the cabin in the backyard.

Ohno Aiko was painting attentively. She used a sketch. The painting showed a head with a rough outline. Judging from the faintly outlined facial features, it seemed to be a portrait of Kanwara Kenichi.

It was obvious that even after decades, she still had not forgotten that man.

"Is this Mr. Kenichi?" Li Xuehao quietly appeared and asked in a low voice.

The sudden voice made Ono Aiko tremble violently. She was frightened. She turned her head subconsciously and found out that it was Weijiu's sister's grandson. She breathed a sigh of relief and was a little surprised at the same time: "You didn't have sex with Weijiu." Will you go back with me, sister?"

"Actually, there are some things I want to confirm with Grandma Aiko." Li Xuehao said.

"You want to ask about your grandfather?" Ohno Aiko obviously misunderstood something. As far as she could think of, this was the only thing.

"That's not it." Li Xuehao shook his head.

"What is that?" Ohno Aiko looked at him doubtfully, and she couldn't think of anything else.

"Your legs were not caused by an accidental fall, were they?" Li Xuehao asked straight to the point. Long before, he had already sensed with his spiritual consciousness that both the muscles and tendons of her legs had atrophied, but It was definitely not caused by an accident. Although the bones had grown back, the clues left behind showed that it was definitely caused by man. There were dozens of injuries, large and small. It would be very difficult to survive such an accident. .

Ohno Aiko's eyes fluctuated: "Why do you ask that?"

"Because I happen to have some special abilities." Li Xuehao looked at her, "Grandma Aiko, your legs were interrupted by someone, right? Who hates you so much?"

Ohno Aiko looked at him blankly, looked at him for a while, and then said: "Do you know? You are very similar to Yiren-kun."

Li Xuehao didn't know if she was changing the topic, but just looked at her.

Ohno Aiko smiled slightly, put down her paintbrush, and turned her wheelchair around: "If you have time, I can tell you a story."

"Yeah." Li Xuehao vaguely guessed that the story she was going to tell might be related to her legs.

"Many years ago, a girl fell in love with a boy, but the girl's father did not agree. He hoped that the girl could marry another boy in the village, but the girl resisted her father's arrangement, and the girl she liked The boy’s parents also arranged a marriage for him. When the girl found out, she was ready to go to the boy to question him, but the girl’s father found out and broke her legs in anger.”

Although she was just telling a story, Li Xuehao knew that she was talking about herself.

It turns out that her legs were broken by her father. There really are such cruel fathers in this world. Originally, "I will break your legs if you dare to do anything" is just a mantra used by most parents to threaten their children, but But it really happened to her. So she suppressed it and never told others. She only said it was an accident.

At the same time, Li Xuehao also knew why Mr. Ohno insisted on causing trouble for Kenichi Kanbara. He must also know the inside story. As for his father cruelly breaking his sister's legs, even if Mr. Ohno, as a son, had any objections, he would not He rebelled against his father, so he blamed all of this on Kenichi Kanbaru. No wonder he said before that he wanted to make Kenichi Kanbaru like his sister. It turned out that it was because his sister's legs were interrupted, so he also wanted to interrupt them. Kenichi Kanbara's legs.

"Koji, how did you know?" After telling the story, Ono Aiko looked at him in confusion and asked. Her leg was interrupted. Only her brother and father knew about it, but her father was no longer alive, and other relatives were also Completely unaware, why does Weijiu's sister's grandson know this?

"I said that I have some special abilities. At the same time, this special ability can also heal your legs." Li Xuehao.

Ohno Aiko couldn't help but be stunned, and then became a little moved: "Is this, is this true?"

"Yes, one of the purposes of my coming is to cure you. This is what Mrs. Kanyuan asked me to do." Li Xuehao said.

"Kanahara..." This last name made her a little fascinated.

"She is Mr. Kenichi's daughter." Li Xuehao introduced.

Hearing this, Ono Aiko fell silent and looked down at her legs that were covered by her skirt. After a while, she raised her head: "Koji, you are the grandson of Sister Weiku, I believe you will not lie to me. , I won’t joke about this kind of thing, what do you need me to do?”

"No, you just need to sit still." Li Xuehao said as he walked up to her, stretched out a hand and put it gently on her shoulder, "I'm going to start." After saying that, Spiritual energy penetrates the body.

Ohno Aiko didn't know how he was going to treat her, but she cooperated and didn't move. And soon, she felt that the hand on her shoulder was like magic, and a stream of warmth started from her shoulder and flowed all over. It spread all over her body, making her feel warm.

Her originally unconscious legs gradually began to feel numbness, itching, soreness, pain and other sensations that she had not experienced in decades. She couldn't help but become excited, but still did not move. This was the key to cooperating with the treatment.

"Okay." After more than ten minutes, Li Xuehao took back his hand.

"But, is it okay?" Ohno Aiko was very excited, because she found that she could already control her legs. Normally, let alone moving, she didn't even have any feeling.

"It's almost done, but because you haven't moved for many years, you can't walk on the ground yet. You will be able to wait for a while." Li Xuehao said.

"How long will it take?" Ohno Aiko couldn't wait. She hadn't walked in the ground for decades. It was so painful for someone who was already healthy. If she hadn't painted every day to numb herself, she would have been forced to Crazy.

"Two or three months." Li Xuehao could actually make her recover in two or three days, but that would be too exaggerated. The sudden growth of atrophied bones and flesh would be an extremely exaggerated thing no matter how you look at it. So, wait Two or three months, although that is also surprising, but at least it will not be as shocking as two or three days.

"Someone is coming." Hearing the footsteps coming from outside, Li Xuehao's heart moved and he said something to Ohno Aiko, and then his figure suddenly disappeared into the air.
