Chapter 14: An Inexplicable Feeling

"Brother Chiba, come and play with us. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

A cute little girl dragged Chiba and kept spoiling.

Chiba looked at the group of bear children behind the little girl who were playing with the house, and suddenly her face turned dark.

Just kidding, I'm not really only six years old, how can I play this kind of game with you.

"Well, I still have something to do, you guys play first. ”

The little girl who finally got rid of the trouble, and soon a little boy came over, and he wanted to show Chiba his specialty.

Suddenly, Chiba's face darkened, and it was complete torture for him to stay with these bear children.

Thinking of this, Chiba cast his resentful gaze on Natsuki not far away.

Perhaps thinking that Chiba had not recovered from the blow of the last dream shatter, or that Chiba's personality was too withdrawn, Natsuki thought it wise to let the children get closer to Chiba and make Chiba the leader of the children.

God knows how Chiba has been so tired of surviving from this group of bear children these days.

Seeing Chiba's unhappy and aggrieved face, Natsuki walked over with a smile, and despite Chiba's objections, he rubbed his hair fiercely.

"Why do you always look old, children should be lively, let them pass the past... Come on, come on, I'll show you something fun..."

Saying that, Natsuki flexibly tied a little mouse with a few weeds and kept teasing Chiba.

Natsuki, who thought that Chiba was still immersed in sadness, did not miss any opportunity to enlighten Chiba.

Pulling the corners of his mouth slightly stiffly, Chiba said helplessly: "How many times have I said it, don't treat me as a child." ”

"Haha, it's a child. ”

Embarrassed to dodge Natsuki's claws reaching out to his hair, Chiba launched his own counterattack.

"Sister Quanshui, Brother Xia Mu has something to say to you!"

"Oh, what?"

A beautiful woman who looked unusually gentle and intellectual walked over from a distance and glanced at Natsuki with a smile.

"Brother Xia Mu, he said he likes you..."

Natsuki suddenly covered Chiba's mouth in a panic.

"That and that, spring water, don't listen to his nonsense..."

"Oh, you don't like me, do you?"

"No, it's not..."

Quietly looking at Natsuki who was explaining something in a panic not far away, and then at a group of bear children not far away, the corners of Chiba's mouth unconsciously curled slightly.

These days, although Chiba has been saying that he doesn't like them to harass him, but in fact, Chiba's heart has always been filled with an inexplicable sense of happiness.

Here, Xia Mu experienced unprecedented warmth.

Whether it's the gentle Natsuki, or the equally gentle Sister Quanshui, or the bear children who Chiba keeps saying they hate, they all give Chiba a sense of family.

Chiba can realize that each of them cares for themselves purely.

Sometimes, Chiba even thinks that it's not bad not to be a ninja.

If you want to become a ninja, you will inevitably face all kinds of killings and intrigues, and you may die at any time.

Instead of that, maybe it's really better to be an ordinary person and live a peaceful and stable life.

Besides, now he is not even sure about becoming a ninja, so far he only has a general idea.

Even just embarking on a path to learn ninjutsu is likely to contain danger, and there is no such thing as absolute safety in such troubled times, so is it really true that Natsuki is allowed to accompany him everywhere on adventures.

For a moment, Chiba fell into deep thought.

If it's really like what Natsuki said, it might be good to find a remote and peaceful place, and then find a gentle and beautiful girl to spend the rest of your life with...

And just when Chiba was thinking about something, the convoy had already arrived in a new town.

After a slight pause to replenish the supplies, Natsuki led the convoy on the journey again.

When he returned, Natsuki's face was full of smiles.

"I met an acquaintance who sold me a lot of food cheaply, so that we didn't have to worry about food in a short time. ”

As he spoke, Natsuki excitedly gestured on the map.

"Our current location is probably here, we have entered the peace zone, and we are not far from our ultimate goal, and we will be almost there after three days' walk. ”

"Xia Mu, since you have arrived in the Heping Zone, why don't you stay here, I see that the boss in the town had a good relationship with you before, and with him taking care of us, it will be much easier to settle down." ”

Xia Mu shook his head slightly: "Even if he can take care of us, it is only temporary, the prices here are too high, it is difficult for us to survive for a long time, and there are too few resources." ”

As he spoke, Natsuki excitedly pointed his hand at a place on the map.

"My initial goal is to be here, it's far from the war zone, the prices should be low, and there are forests and rivers nearby, so we can use these resources

...”

As Natsuki continued to say something excitedly, the whole team became high.

Especially after noon, Natsuki hunted a huge wild boar from nowhere, and people began to get more and more excited.

"Hehe, I told you, I'll be able to get you out of this predicament. ”

Saying that, Natsuki rubbed his hair again despite Chiba's objections.

"You little fellow still don't believe me, don't mention the slipping away again, you have to work hard for me when you get to the place, and give me back the money you owe me. ”

Seeing that the difficult journey was finally coming to an end, Natsuki's face was full of happy smiles.

The rest of the team apologized.

"Xia Mu, it's really you, I'm really sorry for what happened before, I forced you like that. ”

"Haha, it's okay, it's just..."

Suddenly, Natsuki became a little sad again.

"I knew we might be able to bring a few more kids out..."

Thinking of the children who couldn't be brought out before because of their powerlessness, Natsuki's voice gradually became dull.

Seeing that Xia Mu was depressed, Quan Shui silently comforted him: "It's okay, when we settle down, you can also find a way to bring them back again." ”

"Hahaha, that's what I said. ”

Thinking of this, Natsuki's face showed a smile again.

"Come on, come on, everyone, work hard, anyway, it's not far from the destination, we can speed it up. ”

"Oh-"

Soon the speed of the convoy picked up again and even drove overnight.

After a whole night of hurried travel, not only did everyone not get tired, but they all seemed quite energetic, and everyone was discussing the new home they were about to arrive.

However, unlike everyone's excitement, Chiba suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of depression.

This feeling... So familiar...
