Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Orphan of the Golden Mountain of Sorrel
I helplessly pestle the pestle and chopsticks, it seems, I can't eat it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hehe~" A crisp laugh sounded behind him.
Looking back, "Ino, long time no see!" Suddenly alerted, "Were you playing a ghost just now?" ”
"How's that? Just now, it was the teacher himself who said that he wanted to eat dried radish! ”
Uh-huh? I dragged Ino and asked in a low voice, "How long can you influence me?" A day, or a lifetime? Let me eat dried turnips ......"
"Well, at present, if you can only enter once, the maximum impact time will be one or two hours!"
Whew~ Relieved, dried radish is fine, if this little girl plots to make me like something strange, it will be bad.
However, I haven't seen her for so long, she won't be practicing this all the time, it seems that she has achieved some results, hehe.
There was also a large basket of flowers at Ino's feet, and it seemed that he was helping to deliver flowers to the family.
"Teacher Yoyo, I'll leave first, and I'll come back to you later."
After eating the ramen slowly, I walked around with Ino who had turned back. Sure enough, the daughter of the small family is a little more relaxed, and Ino's life is very colorful, and the conversation is also very interesting.
Seeing Ino smiling and entering the flower shop, I couldn't help but feel a sense of loss, and I also really wanted to have a warm home.
It's easy to look forward to the start of Obon, and although it's a big festival, it doesn't have any specific meaning for me, but it's a school holiday, so I can do my own thing.
Bring the map, pack the spare parts, and prepare to head for the small valley.
Speaking of Obon, which began as a Buddhist ritual to save suffering, has evolved into a ritual to worship ancestors and pray for the blessings of future generations, and now it is a festival to celebrate family reunions, so it is normal for people like me to feel very desolate and want to leave the village on such days.
Finally on the first day of the festival, Shi Shiran left on horseback.
Two days later, the shape of the veins can already be seen. My mining skills are limited to bare ore and there is no technical content, but the wild veins are obviously very well mined, and there is no harvest along the way.
When I arrived at the Xiaoqiangu mine, it was deserted, it seemed that they were all on holiday for the holidays, and only one of the staff on duty who stayed behind asked me to go to the village to find the person in charge.
Actually, what to do with the person in charge, I wouldn't be stupid enough to negotiate business with the mine on my own, that's Tsunade's business, I just want to see if there is a chance to secretly dig two ores......
Turning around outside the mine, the situation on the prospecting radar is very good, but unfortunately it is all in the mine, hesitating a few times, or following the veins away.
A day later, came to a big fault.
There are a lot of mines here, but it seems that the location is not good, so no one will take the risk of mining on the cliffs, but there are still a lot of tunnels underground, right?
But for ninjas, this level of cliff is trivial!
At the moment, I tied a rope on the cliff and slowly lowered myself.
Usually associated with silver, there are also lead ore and zinc ore, and there is a small amount of copper here, although I don't understand why, I also did not refuse to come, and soon the package was full.
When he was about to go down to the bottom of the cliff, he could hear the sound of Ding Ding Dangdang below.
In fact, there is a large area of flat ground under the cliff, so it is not surprising that some people are in the broken terrain of this revitalized platform, but when I finally stood on the ground and walked over to the person, she was like seeing a ghost, "Wow! He ran away.
Depressed~ Although hanging on the cliff to mine and eat a little ash, it is not so terrible!
The girl, who had been mining, had cleared out a small basket of ore, but now she had thrown her tools on the ground. I couldn't help but laugh, picked it up and chased after it.
How could an ordinary person outrun a ninja, so the girl was quickly caught by me.
"I'm sorry! I won't dare next time, please forgive me! The girl said in trepidation, her eyes fixed on the ore and tools in my hand.
"Don't be nervous, I'm not going to give you anything you do, oh, things back. Tell me, why are you running? ”
"You, aren't you from the Little Thousand Valley Mine?"
"No, what's wrong?"
The girl's expression finally calmed down and told me what had happened.
It turned out that their family was originally from the country of Sichuan, his father was the head of the miners in the sorrel grass gold mountain, and owned a small stake there, and his mother's family was a silversmith for generations, relying on the silver ore sold at a low price to make some daily necessities, jewelry, etc., and also had a small income. Originally, life was very good, but since the Black Spade family settled in the Sorrel Grass Golden Mountain, everything has changed, first the father made a mistake and was sacrificed alive, and then the mother died of anger, leaving her and her brother behind.
For fear of reprisals, her brother took her to the Land of Fire, but the owner of Xiao Qiangu's mine refused to sell them ore at a low price, and he didn't believe that the two children could have any ability to make money and repay the loan...... Now it's her turn to find bits and pieces of bare ore at the foot of the cliff and sell them for money, and she can't even maintain the storefront.
The name is still very familiar, and I always feel particularly disgusted by the quirks of Thunder Tooth, but I'm still very interested in Ranmaru, and if I don't meet the people of Kawanokuni here, I will forget about them.
However, at this time, I am afraid that there are not many living people in the sorrel grass Jinshan...... Time has been lost for too long.
But the girl in front of her, what to do?
"Your brother, is he okay?"
"My brother's leg is broken, I have no money to treat my injuries, and I'm still lying at home, woo~~"
Alas! "Will you take me to see it?"
On the way, I learned the child's name: Mei Yu, Shimizu Mei Yu, Well, what a beautiful name, her brother's name is Xiangsheng.
The village was lit up with lights and filled with a festive atmosphere, but Miwa and I both turned a blind eye to all of this and walked briskly with our heads bowed.
A small shop, because I can't afford to hire a clerk, Miyu can only close the store as soon as she leaves, turn over the sign of thanks, and lead me to the backyard.
"Brother~ A guest is coming!"
A half-grown boy lying on the bed, with a pale face, looked at his sister in surprise when he saw me come in, and said to me apologetically: "I'm sorry to let you see such a situation at home, you can't get out of bed to entertain, and I beg your forgiveness!" ”
You know how to be polite...... It makes people sigh, if this is placed in modern times~ Hey, it's far away.
"Hehe, it's nothing, you're born together, right? My name is Yoyo, let me see your injuries, maybe there will be a way. ”
Xiangsheng sighed and lifted the quilt.
Although Miyu took good care of her, after all, the supply of medicinal stones was not available, and the broken leg was obviously inflamed, and some of the wounds were already festering. I gently lifted the gauze, gritted my teeth, and said nothing.
There is no problem with trauma, inflammation is ......
Also, rejuvenation can promote the growth of broken bones, but before that, I need to graft bones, I can't!
In short, it is better to find a regular doctor first.
Seeing my silence, Mei Yu hurriedly said: "Sister, please, you can let me do anything, please help my brother!" ”
It's too late for Xiangsheng to stop him, "Meiyu, don't be strong." ”
This kid really has the style of a gentleman~ It's worth helping.
"My medical skills are limited, and the current situation is that I can't intervene, but you can go and ask the best doctor in the village to come, and I will pay for the consultation."
"In this case, it is worthy of each other's lives." The boy bowed his head and said.
"Hehe, aren't you silversmiths in your house? I have a batch of silver ore in my hand, not much, how about you help me process it for free? "Knowing that a person like him will definitely not accept gifts from others unconditionally.
The next thing is much easier, please come to the doctor to correct the bones and remove the carrion, and send it away respectfully.
"I'm afraid there is still a month to complete Miss Yoyo's request, I'm really sorry!" Xiangsheng wiped the cold sweat on his head, and still remembered his promise to me.
"No, I think, a week at most!" With a gentle smile, I started my best treatment.
Feeling the strangeness on his body, Xiangsheng immediately untied the bandage.
"Huh?" I couldn't believe my eyes, the wound had healed completely.
"Don't move, the splint can't be removed yet! In the future, I will treat you once a day, morning and evening, and your bones will grow in a week at most. "Ordinary people, it should be slower.
The next week was spent in my non-stop mining, therapy, and chatting with my siblings.
During the festival, no one went to inspect the cliffs, and I accumulated a large amount of silver ore and put it in the small workshop of the Qingshui family. It turned out that Lei Ya completely disregarded the interests of the mine in order to satisfy his evil habits, so the mine was already weak in the country of Sichuan, and his behavior had been exposed and was wanted by the government, but as one of the seven swords of the fog ninja, how could Lei Ya care about the pursuit of the government, but his men were killed and injured a lot.
"Huh? Do you know what happened to his subordinate, a boy named Ah Jiao, who is about your age? ”
"Huh? Does my sister know Ah Mustard? He was also from our village, and later joined the Black Shovel family. But it's not clear what the situation is now. ”
A week later, when he had recovered from his wounds, I took out the silver ingots that I had smelted and worked with him in the workshop for three days, making silver crosses of various specifications, but they were still rough blanks.
"The school is about to start, the students are still waiting for me, further processing, you can do it yourself, I will come to pick it up later." I don't use the rest of the ore, so I'll leave it to you. ”
Say goodbye to the brother and sister.
Back in the village, just after the end of the Obon Festival, the streets are still full of joy, compared to Konoha is already a haven of peace and happiness! Secretly feel sorry for those who died at the hands of Thunderfang.
"Sister Yoyo!" Sakura ran over from a distance.
"Where have you been all these days? I've been looking for you so many times! ”
"What, what's wrong?"
"Well, I wanted to invite you to my house for the holidays!"
"Hehe, I also have a holiday with two lovely younger siblings!"
I told Sakura about the Shimizu family.
"How pitiful, they!"
A month later.
While I was in class, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Ay? Isn't this Izumo Kamizuki?
"Yoyo, a kid came to Konoha and said he was looking for you, so I brought him to school."
Let the students study on their own and come to the office.
"Symbiosis! What are you doing here? ”
Xiangsheng carries a large package.
"Deliver to my sister, and besides, I have something to tell my sister!"
Xiangsheng said in a mysterious low voice: "I heard that Lei Ya has come to Xiaoqian Valley and wants to buy this mine!" ”
Although the voice was very small, the people sitting in the office were all at the level of Zhongnin or above, and everyone keenly captured the word "Thunder Tooth" and looked at this half-grown child in surprise.
