"Hey, Chiba, are you feeling better? Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Chiba looked at the smiling young man in front of him and nodded silently, but did not speak, but continued to think about something.

Today is the seventh day since Chiba narrowly escaped death last time.

Originally, Chiba was happy to be able to escape, however, the next day he discovered a serious problem, that is, his wound was infected.

It may be that the body itself is too weak, after all, it has been hungry for so long before, and it has been poisoned, so that Chiba has no resistance at all.

After barely struggling for a few days, not long after he walked out of the forest, Chiba suddenly fainted and collapsed by a small river.

Fortunately, maybe Chiba's life should not be extinguished, and there happened to be a team that had been fleeing along the river passing by, so they saved him.

And the unusually infectious young man in front of him is the leader of this fleeing team, his name is Xia Mu.

Natsuki is a person who always has a smile on his face, and he can easily infect others with a smile, and everyone in the team has a good opinion of him.

However, if Chiba has to give this guy an evaluation, then Chiba will only send him three words, rotten good person.

Although he is very grateful to this guy for saving him, Chiba still has a negative attitude towards some of this guy's practices.

For example, when it came to saving themselves, almost all the people in the team did not agree with saving themselves, after all, they were only a team of refugees, and they lacked food.

Moreover, a wounded person like Chiba will inevitably consume more valuable medicine in the team, and must also have someone to take care of it, which is undoubtedly a great waste.

Especially even if he recovers from his injury, Chiba is still just a child with little ability, and in addition to consuming food, Chiba is unlikely to bring any help to this team.

But Xia Mu forcibly suppressed everyone's opposition and kept himself.

Having been in this team for a few days, Chiba already knows a little about this team.

They were basically from the same village, and they had to move just to escape the war.

And compared to these people, Chiba always seems a little out of place as an outsider.

Looking at the busy crowd around him, whether it is digging wild vegetables or catching fish and burning the fire, he always has his own things to do, and Chiba, even if he is injured, I am afraid that he will not be able to do it, or rather, his poor labor force is not worth consuming such precious food at all.

Looking at the surrounding environment, Chiba had mixed thoughts.

Especially a child who was mixing soil into food, his behavior gave Chiba a great shock.

Suddenly, while Chiba was thinking about something, there was a noisy noise not far away.

"Natsuki, if you do this again, you'll kill us all. ”

"Yes, yes, it's okay to forget the first few times, those children are somewhat useful, but this kid in front of him is obviously a burden, and the medicinal materials wasted on him are enough for us to exchange food for a few days..."

"Natsuki, it really can't be like this anymore. ”

People keep talking about something, but the core meaning is always inseparable from wanting to get Chiba out of here.

And Natsuki was in a panic and kept assuring everyone of something.

"Please believe me, I will definitely be able to lead you out of this predicament, please, please..."

After a long time, everyone saw that the opposition was ineffective, so they reluctantly scattered and left here again, but before leaving, they inevitably cast hostile eyes and scolding at Chiba.

Gently wiping a handful of sweat, Xia Mu said to Chiba embarrassedly: "Don't care what they say, don't worry, I..."

"Let me get out of here. ”

Looking into Natsuki's eyes, Chiba said seriously.

"In a few days, I'll be almost healed, and I'll leave here, and I won't drag you down. ”

As he spoke, Chiba took out half of the money he had received from Scarface and handed it to Natsuki.

"This money is considered to be the reward for saving me. ”

Leaving here is Chiba's choice after careful consideration.

These days, there are already many people in the team who have begun to trouble this leader, and in Chiba's opinion, not to mention whether he wants to stay or not, just with Xia Mu's too gentle personality, he may be kicked down by the people below him, and then he will only be more dangerous.

And with Scarface's money and tools, Chiba felt that he could still survive for a while, and as for what happened after that, he could only find another way.

However, Chiba's proposal was not accepted.

"Hey, little ghost, do you want to be so dragged. ”

Natsuki ignored Chiba's objections and rubbed Chiba's hair fiercely.

"You idiot, just how much you can buy now, especially the medicine you used before, it's not enough at all, you better stay honestly, when you pay off your debts and leave, don't think about running away. ”

Chiba was silent for a moment, his expression was a little complicated, and a trace of warmth flowed through Chiba's heart.

"I know you're good to me, and I'm grateful that you saved my life, but I know you're in a difficult situation right now, and you see that they're making trouble for you every day, and if you keep going like this..."

These days, people are constantly coming to the door to trouble this nosy chief, and it is impossible for Chiba to pretend to be deaf and dumb in this situation.

Anyway, Chiba at least didn't want to drag down his savior.

Xia Mu smiled slightly, and said softly: "It's nothing, they are just complaining, don't dare to go too far." You're so small, what's the difference between throwing you down and killing you? Don't worry, we're not that bad for you. ”

Natsuki's tone was resolute, as if it really wasn't bad.

This is not the first time Natsuki has rejected Chiba, and he always has various reasons to keep Chiba.

After a long silence, Chiba asked a question: "Why?"

"Huh?"

Natsuki looked at Chiba suspiciously.

"I said, why are you being so nice to me?"

Although Chiba understands that maybe he shouldn't have asked, and he didn't say anything if someone could save you, but you yourself are always grinding.

But at this moment, Chiba desperately wanted to know what was driving the person in front of him.

He met him in Pingshui and didn't have any friendship, but he was able to do his best to help himself without hesitation, and Chiba was eager to know what it was for.

Xia Mu was slightly stunned when he heard this question, and then his eyes began to drift away, as if he remembered something.

"Why, maybe it's because I was a war orphan..."

There was a hint of sadness and complexity in Natsuki's tone.

"I understand how hard it is for people like us to survive in a world like this, to endure hardships and grievances..."

One sad thing after another kept coming out of Xia Mu's mouth, and when it came to emotion, even Xia Mu himself unconsciously reddened his eyes.

"So, I can't help but help those children who are like me in the past, I know that I can't save too many people, but at least, I can save one and count as one. ”

In the end, as if doing this could bring happiness to Natsuki, the corners of his mouth were unconsciously curled slightly.

"If you can save one, it counts as one..."

Looking blankly at the clean and gentle smile on Natsuki's face, Chiba silently lowered his head.

If you can save one and count one, this simple sentence gave Chiba a great shock.

Maybe... It's only in such a world that you can meet such people...

In the previous life, Chiba had long been accustomed to seeing the deceit between people.,Indifferent and insidious.,I've never seen this kind of person.,I never imagined to be this kind of person.,Occasionally I hear people mention it and disdain to say a fool.,But now...

Thinking of this, Chiba fell into a dead silence again.

And just when Chiba was silent, someone in front of him anxiously came with news.

"Oh no, Natsuki, there are bandits blocking the road in front. ”

Hearing that there were bandits, Xia Mu was not too flustered, in such a troubled world, there were as many bandits, and they had already encountered more than one group along the way.

Frowning, Natsuki took out a huge pair of bows and arrows and walked up.

Looking blankly at the huge bow and arrow that obviously did not match Xia Mu's physique, Chiba couldn't help but be a little puzzled, such a bow and arrow could be used by a thin guy like Xia Mu?
