Akita Prefecture is a bustling county town deep in the Land of Fire. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The so-called deep does not refer to the hinterland of the Fire Country, but to the depths of the forest.

For thousands of years, the village has been located deep in the forest on a wide plain that exists for unknown reasons, and the villagers are self-sufficient, with food and water obtained in the forest, and only when there are many tourists will they send familiar villagers to the nearest daimyo to buy something to welcome guests.

The thousand-year-old history has given this mysterious village an infinite heritage, and countless legends and myths have spread from here. In the Akita Forest behind the village, it is said that there are really ancient ruins.

The aborigines of the village all believe in a so-called emperor god, and they don't know what kind of god god it is.

However, it is not known whether this is real or a deliberate gimmick to attract more tourists.

On the day of the winter solstice, the heavens and the earth were full of white flowers.

The snow is heavy.

If it weren't for the fact that there were so many tourists on this day, I would have walked out of the forest where there was no road, and I am afraid that no one would have been able to reach Akita Prefecture today.

In particular, there are a lot of them, about one or two hundred.

This is a lot for a county. In general, the permanent population of the daimyo prefecture is only about 1,000.

Of course, it depends on which daimyo it is.

Just as the snow was getting heavier, two men came from outside the forest. Young boys and girls, talking and laughing, were not affected by the cold and heavy snow in the slightest.

That's Riki and Tiantian.

They wore white cotton cloaks and walked in the direction of Akita Prefecture against the wind and snow, Konoha was not far from here, and after getting the custom-made clothes every day, they hurried and arrived here quickly.

However, it is worth mentioning that neither of them brought a ninja forehead protector, which was originally a violation. But Riki thought that since she was out to play, or to go to such a crowded place, there was really no need to write words like 'I'm a ninja, don't mess with me' on my face. He just wants to be like an ordinary brother and sister every day, just relax and have a good time.

As for whether he will be caught by Konoha's law enforcement forces, whatever.

"Brother, it's almost there, have you seen it?" After coming out of Konoha every day, she has been elated, she has never been out of Konoha since she was a child, and this time she came out, it can be said that it was an eye-opener.

Every day is happy, and Limu is also happy.

In fact, it was the first time for him to come out as an ordinary person, and he felt that the whole world was different. For example, if you walk down the street, no one will look at him sideways.

He didn't bring any ninja equipment with him, and he didn't have anything with him except for three emergency kunai, six shurikens used to complete the six-sided seal, and a small red scroll.

However, if none of these things can solve the opponent, it is not very useful to bring a little more, and he has a strong confidence in that red scroll.

As Tian Tian said, the woods in front of the pear wood began to split in half, revealing a path that could barely be called a road, and along the path, there was a thriving village.

Red lanterns hang in the village, and you can see many people stopping in the streets, chatting happily with the merchants and vendors along the streets.

This is also a benefit of Akita Prefecture.

Because the road is not wide enough, the carriage cannot enter. So there are only people, although there are many people, but it is not crowded.

Limu smiled: "It's here, let's find a place to stay first." ”

Tian Tian nodded, pulled Limu's sleeve, and ran forward.

Walking into the county seat, the sound of selling, shouting, laughter, and the cries of children asking for things are endless, and I have to say that Konoha is too cold compared to here.

After only a slight turn, the two began to look for the inn.

Riki looked at the many tourists in front of him and couldn't help muttering, "I don't know if there is a place to stay." ”

Tian Tian tugged at his sleeve and said, "Over there." ”

Riki followed her gaze and saw a room that said 'Hakume Restaurant'. From the outside, the decoration is very good, the wood is elegant, the eaves are carefully carved, and it looks like there is a series of houses behind the store, and obviously there are many guest rooms.

So they went to the inn.

After the gate of the inn, there was a courtyard, and a few tourists were coming out of it, discussing something with great interest, and Riki was on the side, and I heard what seemed to be a 'spring water mother-in-law', and I didn't know what kind of person it was.

There is a spring in the courtyard, from which clear mountain springs gush out, and the base of the spring is carved from mahogany, with dark lacquer, and it can be seen that the owner of the inn is very attentive.

After they entered, an uncle with a big belly who looked very similar to Nao Tanaka, the owner of an izakaya where Riki used to work, came over and asked them, "Are you two staying at a hotel, we are the best hotel in Akita Prefecture, and the price is not expensive." ”

Limu nodded and said, "Two rooms, it's best to be close together." ”

The uncle was a little embarrassed, thought for a while and said, "If it is close to each other, there are only two rooms close to the forest, but those two rooms ...... Well, let's not tell you, feng shui is not good, it is said that there is a cloudy wind at night, if you want to live, I will charge you less silver. ”

Riki looked at Tiantian, he was not afraid of any ghosts.

Tian Tian looked very dissatisfied, tugging at his sleeve.

Limu can't do it, just the so-called yin wind passes through, and it's really not good, whether there are ghosts or not, he doesn't know, the cold is certain. The snow is so heavy outside, it should be warmer inside.

He thought for a moment and said, "Then, that room, take the big room, and then ......"

The uncle waved his hand very clearly and said, "The big bed is right, no problem, there is." ”

Riki: "......"

A quarter of an hour later, Limu and Tiantian lived in a room, the uncle's reputation is still guaranteed, the environment here is really good, much better than the houses in Konoha, the carved decoration is very extraordinary, there is a small courtyard outside the house, the price is also good, three hundred and two a day, if it is placed in the past, it must be the sky-high price that Limu dare not think, and now it is arbitrary.

A B-level task, the reward is about 50,000 taels, and their cocoon team has no mentor, except for the 20% given to Konoha, the rest is their share, and Limu can get about 10,000 taels for a mission.

After taking a break, Tian Tian proposed, "Let's go to the night market later." ”

Limu nodded, shopping at night, the streets are full of lanterns, everyone is quiet, very meaningful, he also thinks about it.

Just as they were resting, there was a knock on the door.

The uncle's voice came from outside: "Hello, do you need any special props, we have them all for sale." ”

Riki opened the door with a black line on his face and said, "No need." ”

The uncle smiled and was about to leave.

Tian Tian said: "Uncle, are there any famous attractions here?" ”

When the uncle heard this, he was interested, and said in a few words: "Ah, when it comes to this, there are a lot." But you came at the right time, and in the past two days, the spring water lady has come out of the forest and picked up customers at the spring water house in the center of the county, so you can go and have a look. ”

Limu felt a chill, spring water mother-in-law, picking up customers, very good.

He was about to refuse, but the uncle explained with a mysterious smile: "When I talk about picking up guests, I am receiving guests, you may not have heard of Granny Quanshui, but if I talk about her ability, you will definitely be interested." ”

Riki and Tian Tian glanced at each other and asked curiously, "What is it?" ”

A smile hung on the corner of the uncle's mouth, looked at Limu's eyes, and said, "Granny Quanshui can predict the future." ”
