Chapter 4 Value
It's night.
After Ye Zi regained consciousness, he saw a burning bonfire at first glance, and there were two people sitting next to the bonfire.
I was very hungry, so hungry that my whole body was weak, and there was not a place in my body that was not sore.
And also... The rain seems to have stopped?
This was good news, he couldn't stand the feeling of his body soaking in moisture.
In fact, it was not that the rain had stopped, but that they had left the Land of Water and came to the border of the Land of Fire.
"Give me something to eat."
Ye Zi turned his head to look at the man who drove the snake to tie himself up, and he was not polite at all. He is still alive at the moment, which means that the other party does not want to let him die, so he dares to ask for food.
From the time Ye Zi opened his eyes, Orochimaru noticed it, and when he heard Ye Zi directly begging for food, he smiled faintly and casually threw a few biscuits in front of Ye Zi.
Ye Zi looked at the biscuit that fell not far in front of him, stretched out his hand and pinched a biscuit, held it in his mouth and didn't bite it.
My mouth and throat were dry, and I had to try to soften it when I wanted to digest it.
Tsunade glanced at Orochimaru, she knew very well that with Ye Zi's state, it would be difficult to even secrete a little saliva, so it would definitely be a very painful thing to swallow a cookie.
She paused, suddenly got up and walked in front of Ye Zi, and under the latter's slightly wary gaze, she squatted down and aimed the corner of the large leaf in her hand at his mouth.
Ye Zi's eyes trembled slightly, and he opened his small mouth knowingly, and the cool water slid into his mouth from the corner of the leaf, like nectar, moisturizing everything in an instant.
After throwing a grateful look at Tsunade, Ye Zi swallowed the softened biscuit and closed his eyes in satisfaction.
A biscuit, some water.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the source of life.
"Thank you."
If it weren't for the water that Tsunade handed over, the cookie in his mouth would have taken a long time to swallow.
Tsunade nodded slightly and set the leaves aside, there was not much water in the leaves anymore, but it was enough for Azusa to swallow the remaining biscuits.
Ye Zi endured the pain and got up, changed to a relatively comfortable sitting position, picked up the remaining two biscuits and put them into the water in the leaves, and waited for the biscuits to soften a little before silently picking them up and eating them.
Smack.
In the silence of the night, there was only the faint sound of a fire exploding.
This is a forest, full of dangers, but in the eyes of Orochimaru and Tsunade, who are strong men, it is nothing, if it is in another country, it may be necessary to be vigilant, but in the territory of the Fire Country, the precautions that should be done are done.
"Where are you taking me?" After filling his stomach a little, Ye Zi asked.
Orochimaru said lightly: "Konoha Village." ”
"Konoha Village?" Ye Zi frowned and said calmly: "Is that where the traffickers handle the goods?" ”
"Human traffickers?" Tsunade glanced at Ye Zi, there was a slight anger in the corners of her eyes, but she didn't say anything, on the contrary, she felt a little sad that Ye Zi could compare herself to goods so calmly.
The Age of War... More heart-wrenching scenes abound.
Orochimaru replied coldly, "Konoha Village is our village. The implication vetoed Ye Zi's speculation.
Ye Zi's brows were still furrowed, and he continued to ask: "Then why do you want to take me back to your village, I don't think a child who is about to starve to death is of any value to you." ”
Orochimaru looked sideways when he heard this, and a smile suddenly appeared on his indifferent pale face.
"Indeed, if you had no value, you should have been a pile of rotten meat."
The indifferent words made Ye Zi's heart palpitate, and then, he heard Orochimaru say: "Then, you will find ways to highlight the value of your existence, otherwise, you will not have the capital to continue to live, remember, without me, you will become a corpse in a few days." ”
Ye Zi smiled disdainfully when he heard this, if he hadn't met that little yellow dog, maybe he wouldn't have the confidence to survive, but with that little yellow dog, he had the confidence to survive.
However, with such optimism, he did not know the situation of the place where he was before.
In times of war, there are not many safe places...
There are fewer safe places for civilians who have no power.
Orochimaru was right, but that was something that Ye Zi couldn't understand, because Ye Zi didn't know anything about this world.
Tsunade on the side listened to the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but rub her forehead, she looked at the thin Ye Zi, the preliminary estimate is not more than six years old, but its psychological maturity is unbelievable, this is just an ordinary child.
And... At first glance, it is a malnourished body, and it has a tenacity that cannot be ignored, if it is an ordinary person, these two days of trekking are enough to make him die, but Ye Zi is still good.
Thinking of this, Tsunade glanced at the big snake pill staring at the fire, did he refuse to treat Ye Zi's injuries before because he saw through this?
"Sister, what's your name?"
Thinking that he didn't know anything about these two people, seeing that Tsunade seemed to be easier to get along with, Ye Zi leaned over to set up a friendship.
Tsunade came back to his senses, looked at him, and said, "Before asking someone's name, it's basic politeness to say your own name first. ”
“…”
Ye Zi was speechless, thinking that you would tie me up without saying a word, and what kind of politeness would you talk about.
"My name is Ye Zi, you can call me Ye Zi."
"Leaves? What a strange name. Tsunade's eyelids lifted slightly, and he asked curiously, "This can't be the name you gave yourself, right?" ”
"Hmm."
Tsunade just said it casually, but he didn't expect to say it seriously.
This kid...
Tsunade sighed faintly in his heart and said, "Senju Tsunade, this is my name. ”
Your name is weird, isn't it?
Ye Zi's eyelids twitched, and then he looked at the Great Snake Pill.
Tsunade followed his gaze and cooperated, "His name is Orochimaru." ”
Ye Zi nodded clearly, and then was honestly silent.
"You're not in pain?" Suddenly, Orochimaru asked.
"Huh? It doesn't hurt much anymore. ”
Hearing Orochimaru say this, Ye Zi realized that the pain that originally came from all over his body was much weaker, so that he could talk to Tsunade in a normal state.
"Hehe..."
Orochimaru looked at Ye Zi, and the light in his eyes flickered.
At this time, Orochimaru didn't think about studying the art of reincarnation, but was purely interested in Ye Zi's physical characteristics.
From the first time he saw Ye Zi, he found that his obviously fragile body actually contained a strong vitality, although that vitality was only manifested in a small heart, but it was also extraordinary.
However, despite being special, for Orochimaru, the object that should be eradicated will still be eradicated, but Ye Zi's final performance has earned him the qualification to survive.
"Let me see."
Hearing Ye Zi say this, Tsunade was also extremely surprised, and without saying a word, he pulled open his clothes, put one hand on his chest, and his palm emitted a bright green light.
"The activity of the cell..."
Sensing the suddenly active cells in this thin body, Tsunade couldn't help but be stunned.
Maybe...
She underestimated the characteristics of Ye Zi's body from the beginning.
