Chapter 11: The Days
"Then, little brother eats vegetables. Eat more. The gentle young woman took another bite of food into Yagamiki's bowl.
"Yes, yes, thank you!" Yagamiki was looking at his goal
Honglian puffed out her mouth and glared at the five-year-old child in front of her. Even though she's only eight years old. She felt jealous, and the child in front of her seemed to have robbed her of all her parents' love.
Hoshino looked at the five-year-old child in front of him in disbelief. I don't know why he stayed in his own home. He looked at Yagamiki, who always seemed to be inadvertently observing the red lotus, and his heart tightened.
Probably not, are today's children so precocious? It was love at first sight or something, although my daughter was very cute.
No, bastard! The baby daughter who wanted to kidnap him.
Hoshino's gaze suddenly became vigilant.
"Na~, my brother's eggplant today is particularly delicious. Another bite of food was added to Yagamiki's bowl.
Yagamiki kept a polite smile, and his face was about to stiffen with laughter.
"Ahh It doesn't seem like a bad idea to add a younger brother to Red Lotus. A woman who was fascinated by Yagamiki's cute smiling face looked at her husband tenderly.
After many years of life, the husband suddenly understood what his wife meant, and he couldn't help but smile a little.
I don't want to, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain.
Thinking like this, Hoshino Maki couldn't help but take a bite of food for Yagamiki.
Red Lotus's mouth bulged even higher, and she looked at the white rice in front of her, and then at the tall dishes stacked in front of Yagamiki, and she hated Yagamiki even more.
Shirahoshi doesn't like to eat such things, otherwise he can ask Shirahoshi to solve it. As for now, Yagami Qi is ready to eat.
After eating, Yagami Qi just wanted to be close to the red lotus, close.
Honglian carried a wooden knife and ran out in a puff of smoke.
"Auntie, where is Honglian going? Yagami looked up and asked Mrs. Hoshino, who was washing the dishes.
"She's probably going to the backyard to practice swordsmanship. The woman tilted her head, feeling that she couldn't get tired of Yagamiki's cute face.
Ha, ha, ha
With every shout, the wooden knife slashed at the scarecrow. Red Lotus, who practices swordsmanship, has a special focus.
"You won't make much progress by chopping at objects that don't move. Yagamiki, who had been watching for a long time, jumped off the roof, his wide sleeves flying in the wind.
Ha!
The sharp wooden knife stopped in front of Yagamiki's forehead, but the scene that Red Lotus had expected of a child crying did not appear.
"Well, do you want to practice with me, good idea. Yagami smiled.
Bending down, dodging closer, the finger sword formed by the index finger and middle finger together has been against the throat of the red lotus.
Retracting his fingers, Yagamiki folded his hands behind his back and smiled hatefully.
"Now attack me with all your might, don't worry I'll get hurt. Because, ah, our gap is too big!"
Yes~
Screaming loudly, Red Lotus slashed at the wooden knife. She had to beat the little ghost in front of her to tears.
The first knife, the sharp vertical slash, Yagami Qi lightly retreated and dodged.
The second knife, an upward pick that came from the trend, Yagami Qi dodged sideways.
The third knife, a swift straight stab, jumped away lightly.
Fourth Knife, Fifth Knife????????????。 Yagami was about to yawn, and the gap between ninjas and ordinary people was too big. Red Lotus's sword technique has lost the appearance of the original knife technique, and has become a scattered slash.
"Looks like it's been overplayed. Yagami Qi saw the red eyes of the red lotus, and he forcibly resisted the strong appearance of not letting the tears flow.
Syllable!
"It's hit!" Honglian gasped and smiled happily.
"Yes, it's hit. Yagami replied with a smile.
Whoosh, the wooden knife stood erect in front of Yagamiki's forehead.
"No, you're asking me. You are not allowed to let me!" The joy faded, and Red Lotus reacted immediately.
It's really tiring to deal with children.
Yagami spread his hands. "If you don't, you're going to fight until night. ”
Red Lotus knew that what Yagami Qi said was the truth. She slung the knife to her waist, and bent her shoulders in frustration as she tried to appear strong.
This is the unwillingness of ordinary people to genius.
Yagami was familiar with this feeling, and he had it every day before the crossing.
"Do you know where fruit is sold in this area, Red Lotus? ”
Red Lotus turned around and prepared to go back to the back room, ignoring Yagamiki's question.
Ah, what a hassle for children.
"Tell me the location, and I'll tell you why we're so different. Yagami said lightly.
Red Lotus turned around, her eyes full of blazing light.
"I'll take you there, and I'll tell you, okay, you're going to tell me. ”
"Well, not only will I tell you, but I will also teach you. ”
"Then you wait for me. ”
"Why are you going?"
"After the knife practice, I have to take a shower. ”
Shirahoshi swam out of Yagamiki's cuffs and tilted his head back.
"Speaking of which, Xiaoqi, you haven't taken a shower for a few days?" Bai Xing asked.
"About three days. ”
"It stinks!"
"Got it, if I'm not mistaken. There seems to be a waterfall not far away. So I went there and washed it. ”
"Little brother, wait!" Hoshino Maki came in through the gate.
"What's the matter, uncle. ”
"You, you, you" Hoshino Maki was nervous.
"What are you?" Yagami was puzzled.
"You have bad intentions for my daughter!" Hoshino growled.
"Strictly speaking, it seems to be. Yagami frowned.
"I even shamelessly admit it!" Hoshino Mu was directly shocked. Then he drew his knife. "Bastard, let's duel!"
"Come on, uncle, you can't beat me. Helplessly, Yagami said.
His face suddenly turned like ashes, and Hoshino Mu hid his face and wept.
"Daughter, it's useless to be a dad. Daddy, I'm sorry for you!"
"Okay, uncle, don't act. I just want to accept Red Lotus as a teammate. ”
"You want to teach Red Lotus Ninjutsu?"
"Well, maybe you didn't realize it. Red Lotus has terrifying power in her body. Leave it to me."
"I will not decide Red Lotus's life by my own will. ”
The implication is that I should ask for Honglian's own consent.
"Now, uncle, I'll leave this thing to you. Yagami threw a scroll to Hoshino Maki.
"Well? Hoshino asked, taking the scroll.
"The chakra refining method should be regarded as the cost of boarding. ”
Hoshino Maki held the scroll and didn't know what to say. The chakra refining method is a more precious thing, and Hoshino Maki wants to refuse, but he really needs it. The ruined Hoshino Samurai family has long since faded the glory of its ancestors.
"Dad, are you here? Mommy asked you to help wash the dishes. After grooming, Red Lotus went into the backyard and said to Hoshino Maki.
"Ah, got it. Little brother, I took the boarding fee. ”
"Well, I'm probably going to bother for a long time. Yagami bowed his head and smiled.
"What's in my dad's hand?"
"Chakra refining method. Chakra is the energy that is extracted from cells and combined with spirits. It can improve one's physical fitness and provide energy for ninjutsu. The amount and power of a ninja's ninjutsu often depends on the amount of chakra he has. ”
With a certain purpose, Yagamiki spoke in great detail.
At this time, he was looking forward to the red lotus little Lori's eyes and said that he wanted to learn.
Then he will be like Xing Ye, and say lightly, "If you want to learn, I'll teach you." ”
Lori took it to her hand, showing the style of a grandmaster.
But the world is often designed for the philistine.
"Why are you staying there, the fruit stall is going to close, and you won't be able to buy it if you go late. With that, Red Lotus walked past Yagamiki, who was standing still, and walked out of the courtyard.
"Don't you want to learn?" Yagami said.
"Yes. ”
"Then I'll teach you. There was no time to brew emotions, Yagami blurted out.
"You, since my dad got it, it would be nice to learn from my dad after he got it. Turning around, the red lotus at the head of the high eight gods said.
"Alright, let's go. ”
Although Balong is in the midst of war, this small village on the edge of Balong is still calm. In the streets, people try to maintain a normal life, despite the fear of talking about the war. To live is to work, and this is what ordinary people have to do every day.
The apple stall was easy to find, and an old, emaciated middle-aged man stood behind his dilapidated wooden cart, which was littered with bad-looking apples.
The middle-aged man's face was deeply wrinkled and sad. But none of this has anything to do with Yagamiki, who is now telling Red Lotus that he wants to change to a shop that sells apples. The apples here may not be to Shirahoshi's taste.
"There are no other people who buy apples anymore. "Red Lotus Road.
"Okay, okay. Yagami reluctantly agreed.
"Uncle Yamamura, we want all these apples. Honglian stretched out her arms and said.
"Xiaolian, don't make trouble, your family's money is not rich, and the uncle knows that you have to help. ”
"It's not me, it's him who wants to buy it. Red Lotus pointed at Yagamiki.
"Kids, so many apples cost a lot of money. Despite the disappointment, the middle-aged man still said patiently. In his opinion, it was just the kind little red lotus who wanted to help him.
Red Lotus is the second person to make Yagamiki feel that anime is different from reality. The first one is Orochimaru. He made Yagamiki feel a completely different feeling from the evil spirits in the anime. The Orochimaru in the study room is as peaceful as a fallen leaf, and when he meets with the nobles of the country of Tano, he is elegant and majestic, like a king.
Red Lotus is the second, and now she always shows her kindness in a strong way.
Yagami shook his money bag and signaled that he had enough money.
The thin and aging uncle in front of him trembled his lips and almost cried.
"Thank you, little brother, where are you going, so many apples will help you send them. As he spoke, he walked around the front of the car and was about to pull up the cart.
"Whew~, no need. Yagami Qi took out a scroll from his cuff and motioned for Red Lotus and the middle-aged uncle to pull it out on top of the cart.
After more than a dozen intricate seals, Yagamiki's fingers pressed on the scroll. With a thud, the apples on the cart vaned away after a puff of smoke.
"This is ninjutsu. The middle-aged uncle glared and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Behind Yagamiki, Red Lotus's eyes also flashed.
The middle-aged uncle pulled the cart and went in the direction of the setting sun, and his steps seemed to be much brisker. He thanked Yagami many times.
"Thank you this time. "The voice of Ai Ai during the little red lotus period.
"Well~. That uncle seems to be quite pitiful. ”
"Uncle Yamamura's son died a while ago. He and his grandson were the only ones left in the family. The rice in the fields had been spoiled by the samurai, and all they had to live on was these apples. Now that you've bought all those apples, they'll probably get through it. ”
Back home, the gentle Lady Hoshino has already prepared the meal. Yagami Qi sat on the right side of the dining table, and the red lotus was opposite Yagamiki. Shirahoshi has already eaten the glutinous rice dumplings brought out of the inn. I can't understand why such a small snake has such a big appetite.
"Woo~, Xiaoqi's apple is so sour this time. Shirahoshi poked his head out of Yagamiki's cuffs.
"It's so cute~" Mrs. Hoshino saw Shirahoshi for the first time.
Although Honglian didn't say anything, her eyes were clearly shining.
"Bought a bunch of apples, since I don't pick most of them sour. Yagami smiled bitterly.
"If you want sour apples, you can make apple pie. Mrs. Hoshino tapped her chin with her finger.
"Little brother, my wife's cooking skills are very high. Hoshino Maki proudly boasted of his wife's cooking skills.
"What do you think, Shirahoshi?" Yagami asked
"Apple pie Shirahoshi would love to try something. Shirahoshi said expectantly. The cute Lolita sound seemed to make the two women in the room more interested.
"I'll do it right away. Mrs. Hoshino got up and walked towards the kitchen.
"Trouble. ”
"What do you think, Shirahoshi. Yagami asked the white snake in his hand.
"Woo~woo~" This is Shirahoshi's evaluation of apple pie. She didn't have time to answer Yagami's words. It's almost buried in the apple pie.
"I would like to stay here for a long time. After the meal, Yagamiki, who put down his chopsticks, announced.
