Retreat - Chapter 283 (9)
Naturally, we returned to the pharmaceutical workshop, sealed the fire, and filled the prepared container with a portion of the finished potion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It was soon dawning, and when the first rays of dawn penetrated through the window, we pushed open the door of the workshop, only to find Ah Shui already waiting there. Her cute little nose was pursed, and she smelled the rich fragrance of medicine, and said excitedly: "So, the medicine refining has been successful, right?" Congratulations to both guests! ”
Kakashi and I looked at each other for a moment, both feeling a little helpless. Even if it's hospitality, you don't have to worry so much about our business, right? Or does Ah Shui's family have another purpose? At this time, no matter who you are, you can see that something is different, right?
But he still smiled and said to the girl: "It's a success~ Now, there are some things I want to say to the village elder, I don't know if it's convenient?" ”
Ah Shui hurriedly said that it didn't matter, and immediately took us to say goodbye to the owner of the workshop and went back to Komuro's house. Breakfast was eaten in a very friendly atmosphere, the dishes were removed, and the conversation was on the floor.
"In fact, your village is very rich in medicinal resources!" I opened with a sentiment.
"Although there is no special medicine garden, it is amazing that just by growing freely in the barren mountains and wilderness, there can be such a dense production and excellent quality!" Continue to sigh.
"It's a shame that such a precious resource isn't being used properly...... If you allow it, I will send someone to pick it, or I will be able to pick it up for me according to certain requirements, either way, and I will pay me a fair fee! ”
My words are half-truths. It's true that medicinal herbs are abundant around the village, but in terms of their variety, it's not worth my trouble, and the reason why I made such a request was just to see the reaction of the village chief Komuro.
If he really agreed, first, I would not send anyone back if I left; Second, if you really want me to buy it, how many medicinal materials can the villagers recover that meet my requirements in just a few days? I can still afford to pay this honorarium.
Besides, I'm 90% sure that Komuro won't agree.
First of all, he wouldn't allow many people to know the secrets of the existence of Takiguchi Village, and even Kakashi and I doubt that we will end up using any means to erase our memories or even erase them; Secondly, in addition to the existence of the village itself, there are even greater secrets contained in it, and no outsiders are allowed to enter the place, including the establishment of long-term and stable trade relations with the outside world, regardless of whether this will bring benefits to the village.
Sure enough, Komuro pondered for a long time, and then refused: "Your proposal is very constructive, I believe you also want to facilitate this deal very sincerely, and I also agree with the nature of mutual benefit you said, but, with your knowledge, you should know that the so-called 'greed is the original sin of man, and hope makes people fall', although our village is small, but life is very peaceful, and the people live in harmony, and there are very few conflicts because of selfish interests." Although I also hope that they can have a better life, I am more afraid that the profits from the herb trade will blind their eyes, create unnecessary disputes, and destroy the current tranquility, so I ...... I'm sorry, but I can't agree to your request. ”
"This ...... Although you are the head of the village, you don't have the power to stop the villagers from pursuing a better lifestyle? What's more, whether life is happy or not, that is a subjective psychology, I think you can't make judgments for others! Working for profit and a higher quality of life, competing with others and even intriguing, although it is a sadness, is also an inevitable way for human progress, and it is necessary if you want the village to grow and develop, don't you think? I remained calm, persuading in the tone of a businessman.
"No...... Please don't say any more, I won't accept your request anyway. If you two are just playing, I will do my best to entertain you, but if you come for business purposes, I'm afraid I will have to give an eviction order! Komuro's face sank, and his tone began to be a little unkind.
In the face of his sudden toughness, I could only explain with a chuckle: "As I said before, my friend and I came here by chance when we went on vacation to do business or something, but in fact, it is just by the way, it can be said that it is a professional habit as a businessman!" I'm sorry for causing you unpleasantness, but since you don't intend to do this, then I won't mention it anymore~! However, I pick a moderate amount of herbs for research purposes in my private capacity, so you shouldn't object to it, right?! ”
Komuro nodded helplessly in agreement, looked at me and Kakashi, who had been silent, with resentful and confused eyes, and turned back into the inner room.
The two of us also stood up, walked out of the living room, and stepped on the covered bridge, only to find Ah Shui already waiting there.
"So, where do you want to go today?!"
"......" is really a difficult little ghost~~~~
"That, because I kept an all-night vigil yesterday, I was already very tired, so let's rest at home today, and trouble Miss Shui another day~" Wanyan declined.
Ah Shui left a little gloomily.
Kakashi and I looked at each other, there was a problem, there was an absolute problem!
The two of them returned to our corner of the courtyard with some trepidation, and I thought about it and followed into Kakashi's room.
"Oh, something doesn't seem right! this village. Although it was not the first time I had said such a thing, this time my expression was obviously a little withdrawn. After all, I'm here to play, and I wish I could enjoy a few more days of sunshine......
"Hmm-" Kakashi seemed a little absent-minded, but I caught a strong sense of battle and intense interest in his slightly narrowed eyes.
Han, it seems that the clone separated this time should be very confused, where did you get so much curiosity......
"Or, let's get out of here~! I always felt like it was dangerous here! I continued, though I could expect rejection.
"Huh~?" Kakashi looked surprised, and looked up at me, his expression a little twisted, "Do you want to leave?" But I'd love to stay! ”
Seeing this expression, which should be out of print, my eyebrows twitched, and as a result, Kakashi seemed to be a little misunderstood: "If you have to go...... Then, I'll follow Yoyo's decision, but ......"
Ahh It's over, even my heart twitched now, I've never seen Kakashi's expression so tangled!
This makes me very conflicted.
Whether it's my own feelings or my sanity, I feel like we should get away from this weird and mysterious village at once and continue our leisure trip, but it's rare to see Kakashi have something that he's really interested in doing, and I don't want to disobey his will and make him give up.
Just when I was in a dilemma, I heard "Bang!" outside the door. It seemed that someone had hit something, and then there was the familiar "ouch" sound.
The corners of both people's mouths twitched twice involuntarily, and they reluctantly opened the door.
Sure enough, it was Ah Shui again, and somehow he was so stupid, and he hit the pillar again-alas! Eavesdropping is so unprofessional!
However, this little girl didn't seem so frightened this time, but turned a blind eye to us, and muttered something in a dazed voice.
Listening carefully, it really made me cry and laugh: "I knew that these two people would 'rest' together!" ——”
