Chapter 30: Life is like a play
(After a day of stuck, I decided to delete and rewrite the previous chapter)
Before you know it, it's midnight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Most of the people in Konoha Village had already fallen asleep, and the stone brick path was long gone, and the flying insects yearning for the light gathered under the dim street lamps, constantly humming sound, becoming the only sound of the night.
Maybe it's because the ninja world has been in war for many years, and a large area of land has become ownerless, and the area of Konoha Village is really large, which is a bit surprising, completely beyond the scope of the so-called 'village', and it's not an exaggeration to say that it's a small town or a small town.
However, there are a lot of ninjas in the village, and it won't waste too much time running and jumping back and forth in the village, but now it's not too eye-catching to escape in a low-key way in the summer night, and the summer night can only choose the uninhabited alley to move forward carefully, but in this way, the speed that is not fast is a little slower.
Fortunately, although the dark department is powerful, it is an elite unit after all, and since it is an elite, the number of people naturally cannot be too large, and it is still unrealistic to want to search the entire village in a carpet way.
It's just that at the moment, the state of the summer night is really not good.
Tonight, his mind had been in a state of tension, and the anxiety he had felt had lingered since he found Jack gone, and it had reached its highest point when she appeared in front of Summer Night with a wound.
The subsequent escape, treatment, and fierce fighting all kept his attention in a state of extreme concentration, and when he was finally able to catch his breath now, all he could feel was the cold sweat on his back, the hunger in his belly, and the tiredness that kept coming.
Compared with mental exhaustion, the physical burden is much more straightforward.
The wound left by the dark part in Xia Ye's abdomen naturally can't be ignored, and the palm blade attached to Feng Dun is extremely sharp, and it is not inferior to the sword, if it wasn't for the timely dodge, this move might have killed Xia Ye.
Fortunately, although this wound is not shallow, it is still within an acceptable range, and after being bandaged without beauty in the summer night, the bleeding can barely be stopped, but the part that has flowed out cannot be recovered.
He felt that his hands holding Jack were a little numb, the girl's body was petite and slender, naturally there was no weight, but the feeling of weakness after blood loss was constantly increasing.
Summer Night looked around, and it seemed that he was almost close to the edge of Konoha, and the buildings around him began to dwindle, and there were large areas of trees as far as the eye could see. Probably because of the remoteness, there are no street lights on either side of the road, and dark clouds obscure the moon, the only light source available, making people's vision darker and darker.
However, this situation is undoubtedly good news for the pursued, and if they hide in the dark woods, they will naturally be less likely to be spotted.
Just take a little rest here, recover some stamina and chakra, and save yourself from being helpless against the enemy for a while.
Hercules kept the spirit by his side, which gave Summer Night a lot of security, but the fainted Jack remained physical, and Summer Night could only carry her all the time.
Summer Night casually found a tree to sit down, Jack in his arms had already calmed down, not only could not see the pain when he was injured before, but showed a very relieved expression.
After closing the eyes that had never shown emotion, the girl's face softened, and seeing that she seemed to be fine, the summer night was a lot more relieved.
Compared to Jack, his own wound was still aching, and Summer Night looked down to see that the hem of the garment that had been used as a bandage had oozed blood and was sticking to the wound, and it looked like it needed to be retreated.
He thought about it and planned to put Jack aside first, but as soon as he let go of the girl, the other party immediately frowned, and his hands clutched Xia Ye's sleeves tightly, and he didn't know how she reacted in this way while she was in a coma.
"Little children?"
I always feel that my previous impression of the white-haired girl's cold killer is about to be subverted.
Xia Ye rolled his eyes helplessly, but even if the other party hadn't woken up yet, he still expressed his emotions very clearly, and after hesitating for a moment, he could only continue to hold her and treat the wound with ten twisting movements.
The dark night without the light source is really difficult to see clearly, and the summer night itself has no medical knowledge, so the so-called bandaging work is naturally stumbling, and from time to time there will be wounds, which undoubtedly adds a lot of unnecessary pain to him.
It hurts......
Summer Night gritted her teeth, trying not to make a sound so as not to be noticed.
As a traverser, he not only has the advantage of knowing the plot, but also has a plug-in called the system, and Xia Ye has always thought that he can easily reach the top of the whole world in the future.
It's just that the gap between reality and ideals is really touching, and if you think about it, he basically didn't encounter anything good after crossing over, and spent nearly half of his time in the hospital, performing tasks that were tired to death but had no pay, let alone tonight.
"Could it be that I'm actually unlucky?" Xia Ye smiled bitterly and muttered quietly, but what he didn't expect was that someone would respond to his self-talk.
"It's not good to keep the word luck on your lips at a young age, and if you live to my age, you will find that the so-called luck is just a pretext for failure for the weak. It is not fate that affects your path, it is you who can determine your life. ”
It's a ninja world, and it's such a remote location, not the brightly lit cities that never sleep, which Summer Night once familiarized. At this time, it can really be said that everything is quiet, and there is no sound in my ears except the sound of wind and insects.
In this case, a hoarse voice suddenly came from behind, which was too terrifying for Xia Ye, and he turned his head at the first time and stared closely at the distance.
After a few moments, he finally realized that an old man was standing in the darkness.
In order not to be found by the pursuing shadows, the summer night naturally chooses uninhabited paths, where would you have thought that there would be an old man appearing here at midnight.
The old man was dressed in tightly wrapped black clothes, standing quietly on crutches, and it was difficult to find out in the night as if he was invisible.
But it will appear in front of him at this time.,As long as you use your brain a little, you can guess that there is a problem.,Summer Night looks like on the surface.,Secretly has held a kunai tightly.,Planning to cut him twice before the other party is ready.。
But when he saw the old man's face clearly, an indescribable sense of fear suddenly struck, and even the hand holding the kunai could not restrain him from trembling slightly.
Because of the vicissitudes of the old man's face, one-third of it was covered by snow-white bandages, and the part that was covered happened to be his right eye. In the memory of the summer night, there were only two ninjas covering one eye in the entire Konoha area, and both of them were to seal the transplanted Sharingan.
This old man is one of them, the leader of the roots, Tuan Zang!
I thought that I was only one step away from escaping from Ascension, but the boss-level character who was supposed to be hiding behind the scenes suddenly appeared in front of me.
Summer Night felt that this was definitely another joke played by fate and him.
It's just that he knows very well how bad the current situation is, so bad that he doesn't even have time to complain about his fate, and then he has to act in front of this old man who has been intriguing all his life.
"It's been this time, what are you doing here?" Summer Night desperately controlled his expression, revealing a vigilant but not fearful expression, trying to show the nervousness that an escaped prisoner should have.
"Me? When people get old, when they see some young people who have gone astray, they can't help but want to meddle in their affairs. The old man slowly walked out of the darkness, his voice was dry and hoarse, but with a gentle smile on his face, looking at the summer night with the kind appearance of the younger generation. Tonight's commotion is because of you, right? If you believe me, my old bones can still say a few words in this village. ”
"Who are you and why are you helping me?" As if seeing the old man's kindness unguarded, the young man gradually relaxed his tense body and asked.
"I'm just a useless old ninja, don't talk about it, let's talk about you and that girl, I'll see if I can help."
The old man smiled, as if he had never seen the white-haired girl lying on the side.
“…… Actually, I met her for the first time today. ”
After struggling for a moment, the young man said in a confused and emotional tone as if he really didn't know the identity of the old man.
As the saying goes, life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills......
