Chapter 22: I Want to Protect You

It didn't take much time, and soon Chiba was adjusting to the new way of life. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In such a world, the only way for them, orphans, who have no labor, to survive is to steal.

Life is a lot harder than you think.

Although the addition of a Chiba has made the division of labor and cooperation of several people a lot stronger, the sudden extra mouth has also made the lives of several people more difficult.

Every day, Yahiko racked his brains to find a way to stock up on more food, and from morning till night, several people wandered the streets selling food, not missing any chance to get food.

But even so, in most cases, they can only barely make ends meet.

Many times a busy day does not achieve anything, and even faces the punishment of failure.

"Stop, don't run!

"These little ghosts, I have to make them look good!"

Yahiko cautiously glanced back behind her and shouted anxiously.

"Quick, this way!"

Konan and Chiba quickly followed.

Suddenly, Chiba, who was running wildly, stumbled at his feet, tripped over something, and fell to the ground.

And soon Chiba was also surrounded by people who were chasing all the way behind him.

There was no time to react, and countless fists and sticks fell on Chiba's body in an instant.

"You run again, let you steal from us again. ”

"Kill him and let him have a long memory!"

"Bang!"

In the face of so many attacks, the only thing Chiba could do was to carefully shrink himself into a ball and protect his head.

Suddenly, just as Chiba was silently beaten, a petite figure rushed over in the distance.

"Don't hit him!"

Xiao Nan desperately squeezed into the crowd and pounced Chiba's body.

"Don't hit him!"

"Xiao Nan..."

Chiba looked at Xiao Nan who was suddenly blocking in front of him in surprise, and his mind went blank.

At this moment, in Chiba's world, the pain on those bodies seemed to disappear, and the only thing left was Xiao Nan's immature side face.

"Bang!"

The adults didn't stop their aggression because they had another child.

In just an instant, Xiao Nan's little face wrinkled aggrievedly.

"Hmm!"

Especially when a stick fell hard, Xiao Nan finally didn't hold back, and a tear of grievance appeared in the corner of his eye.

Tears slowly fell down Xiaonan's face and fell to Chiba's face, and flowed down the side of Chiba's face into the corners of her mouth.

A salty taste appeared in Chiba's heart.

Finally, Chiba couldn't help but shed tears silently.

Even though I didn't cry when I was wronged even more.

Even when Natsuki and the others died, Qianhe finally gritted his teeth and held back no tears, but at this moment, tears were like beads with broken threads, constantly surging out.

And on the opposite side of Xiao Nan, Yahiko, who was originally running more forward, also reacted quickly, rushed into the crowd frantically, and pounced on Chiba and Xiao Nan.

Suddenly, Chiba's tears swelled even more.

At this moment, Chiba clearly felt that the fates of several people were finally completely linked.

In Chiba's heart, all the selfish thoughts that he had before have completely disappeared.

Chiba was pretty sure that he had found something more important than his own life.

For a long time, after those people were tired, Chiba and the others supported each other with difficulty and walked towards the cave where they lived.

"Why are you still crying, Xiao Nan doesn't cry anymore, I told you that I hate others crying the most, tears are useless. ”

Yahiko said with a big grin, as if he hadn't taken the previous matter to heart at all.

"If you want to survive here, you have to get used to being beaten, and Xiao Nan and I were often beaten when you weren't here. ”

Back in the cave, Chiba was still a little sullen.

After a long silence, Chiba suddenly raised her head.

"This can't just be settled, I want to get revenge back!"

And Yahiko was slightly stunned, and then nodded with a smile: "It's to take revenge and come back, we will go to them more to steal things in the future, and steal everything they beat us back." ”

And Chiba's eyes suddenly carried a little unconsciously fierce: "I'm not talking about this revenge. ”

Suddenly, Yahiko's expression stiffened slightly.

The atmosphere was silent for a while.

And Xiao Nan noticed that something was wrong, and quickly stood up and started a round.

"Don't talk nonsense, with a body like yours, you can't beat an adult in a few cases. ”

"No, I've got some ninja props before, if it's applied well..."

"Enough!"

Before Chiba finished speaking, Yahiko suddenly burst out and pushed Chiba to the ground.

"Yahiko!"

Xiao Nan hurriedly grabbed Yahiko.

And Yahiko's eyes were already full of coldness at the moment.

"Are you trying to kill them?"

Chiba was pushed by Yahiko like this, and finally sobered up slightly.

It seems like... The recent series of encounters, especially the great changes between life and death, have indeed made my whole person become ferocious.

If it was my previous self, it would have been impossible to have such a terrible thought.

"Chiba, you have to understand that it's us who are at fault. ”

"In a world where food is very precious to everyone, it is we who steal what belongs to others in the wrong way, and it is us who are wrong. Even if it was for this, we deserved it. ”

"It's because of them that we have a chance to survive, and we should be grateful for that, and if we have the chance, we should even repay it. ”

Hearing this, Chiba suddenly remembered that when Yahiko and they left here in the anime, they went door to door to thank the people they had stolen food in these years and gave them gifts...

Yahiko: That's really the kind of person he is... Kindness, integrity, right and wrong...

In the end, Yahiko's tone already carried a hint of coldness: "If you are really the kind of person who does not know gratitude, please leave here, I don't welcome this kind of person here." ”

"Yahiko!"

Xiao Nan anxiously grabbed Yahiko.

However, Yahiko was unmoved, just looked at Chiba coldly.

After Yahiko's scolding, Chiba finally sobered up from her previous tyrannical mood.

In fact, Chiba herself doesn't know why she has such terrible thoughts, it's like another self...

Looking up at the dense scars on Yahiko's body again, Chiba silently lowered his head.

"I'm sorry, I just... I don't want anyone to hurt you, that's why I'm a little angry... If it were me, I wouldn't have been able to do this, Yahiko, can you see what I mean..."

The originally cold expression on Yahiko's face instantly softened, and he sighed softly.

Walking up to Chiba, Yahiko reached out and pulled Chiba up.

"I'm sorry... I may have overreacted..."

Soon, the few people reconciled, and Xiao Nan finally showed a happy smile again.

"You two, you scared the hell out of me just now. ”

Chiba smiled slightly, and after glancing at the wounds on Xiao Nan and Yahiko again, he suddenly said firmly.

"No matter what, I will protect you in the future, and I will not allow anyone to harm you, no matter what kind of person you are. ”

Yahiko was slightly stunned and smiled.

"Me too, and I will protect you with everything I have. ”
