Chapter 21: A Difference
The teenagers were chattering and discussing, and some people were arguing about where to flee if they couldn't stay here. Others said that they would go back to save more of their companions, and this unreliable statement resonated with everyone.
Everyone began to discuss how to break through a dark organization to save a group of teenagers with the same tragic fate as themselves.
"We'll have to get sticks, stones, and some knives to steal, and we'll rush in at night and smash the door open with rocks......"
"That's not going to work. Why don't we go to Shinano Town and steal some knives and come back, because the enemy has knives. ”
"No, I'll be arrested and killed!"
……
Uehara, who had already jumped down to the mouth of the tree hole, hesitated and hesitated not to disturb them, he really wanted to continue listening, what a group of cute, stupid and kind little ghosts.
"We seem to be running out of food......"
Suddenly, a weak voice came out, and all heated discussions ceased.
There is no need to choose the escape route, and there is no need to do the righteous and great thing of saving your companions.
Dreams will not be lost to the distance, but they will be lost to the people in front of them, and there may be less than a knife between warriors and ordinary people, as well as rice balls.
The teenagers, who were still passionate one moment, were like wilted eggplants the next moment, and they didn't make any sound for a long time.
"Oh my God," the Buddha cried out in horror, "what should I do if I run out of food......
"Shut up!" After the thin young man next to him roared, the sturdy Buddha immediately shut up, and he cautiously leaned in, not daring to make a sound at all.
"Hey, hello!" Uehara, who suddenly appeared at the entrance of the tree hole, obscured the incoming light, making the tree hole pitch black.
The sudden change made the children panic.
"Let's go, everyone!"
At the critical moment, a figure rushed out in an instant, and he directly smashed through the narrow tree hole, and the brute bull generally knocked out with his head.
The big Buddha was very anxious, and he had no other idea in his head than to solve the accident of the guy in front of him. It's just that he ran and ran, and the enemy disappeared.
When the Buddha was thinking about where the enemy was running with his humble head, he forgot to look in front of him, and then slammed into the tree with a thud.
There was a clatter where the tree had been hit, and the waist was broken.
Looking at the boy who knocked himself unconscious, Uehara was a little speechless.
"It's noon, and I made something delicious in the dojo today." Uehara looked at the teenagers who wanted to get close but didn't dare to get close with a smile, and the clever ones had already begun to look for sharp branches, "I'll take this guy away, just as you think, I may be a bad person or a good person, you decide for yourself whether to follow me or not." ”
After speaking, Uehara kicked the broken stump, no longer paying attention to the other imps, and Uehara carried the Buddha on his shoulder and left.
……
The escaped teenagers have been through more than others, so they are alert, and they may not hesitate to leave at any abnormality they may consider dangerous.
After walking through the woods for a long time, he finally reached the shore of the Shinano River, and when Uehara looked back, he smiled.
A few teenagers followed, and Uehara's sudden turn around startled them, and several people hurriedly hid behind the big tree.
After a few strokes of water, he crossed the Shinano River, which once upon a time nearly drowned Uehara.
After greeting the fishermen guarding the harbor, Uehara pointed to the woods behind him and asked him to pick up a group of teenagers, which included a round of greetings.
……
"Anyone?" The old fisherman is not a ninja, and he has nothing to do with the teenagers who are bent on dodging, and the teenagers rely on their flexibility to play hide and seek with him.
"Hey, there's not much time to waste with you." The old man angrily yelled at a big tree, "I'm going to sell the fish I caught!" ”
Perhaps the old man's kind face was more affinity, and after waiting for a while, a few young men with determined expressions came out from behind the tree, "Okay, let's go with you!" ”
The Buddha had disappeared from sight, and the teenagers were worried, and stepped onto the fishing boat with a sense of determination.
……
With a knife, life is very different today. When he stood at the door of the hotel embarrassed and hesitated for a long time, he finally made up his mind and walked in, found the owner of the hotel with his head down and finished talking about the cause and effect of the matter.
Then he blushed and took out a wad of money and handed it to his boss, after which he refused to stay in the awkward environment for even a minute.
The shopkeeper was puzzled at first, and finally laughed heartily, he grabbed the knife who was about to escape, and with a look full of approval in his eyes, he packed a few freshly fried prawns and stuffed them to him, and told him that the shop had a new dish, and he was welcome to visit often in the future.
Unexpectedly blinded, the knife was inspired, and began the journey of "atonement" throughout the morning.
I went to the aunt who sold the fruit to pay off the arrears, and then took the knife and got the largest of the peaches in a pile as a gift.
Then he went to the candy shop with a knife that gnawed on the peaches, and not surprisingly, he got a handful of candy from the grandmother who sold the candy.
I also remembered that I didn't pay for the repair of shoes, but I couldn't find a repair shop with a knife. After searching for pedestrians, Knife finally found an old shoemaker in a spacious house. During this period, the young grandson of the shoemaker's family kept clamoring for candy, but the shoemaker sternly refused.
The houses of each resident in Shinano Town are very large, and they are uniformly distributed. But judging from the simple furnishings in the interior, this is a very poor family.
I couldn't help myself with the guilt in my heart, and I just shoved the sugar in my pocket into the kid who was changing his teeth and missing his front teeth. Before leaving, he secretly pressed the money bag given by Uehara under the old shoemaker's quilt.
When you come out, you can see the sun, which is not often seen in the gloomy rain country.
In just one morning, it brought too much impact to the belt knife. Peeled off the last candy and stuffed it in his mouth, and suddenly laughed while eating with a knife, the candy was too sweet.
Shinano Town seems to be no different, and there are many differences when you look closely, such as the colored stones inlaid on the walls, which can be found in every resident's house, whether rich or poor. Another example is that the front of each household is clean and there are no fallen leaves, not every household has the effort to clean up, and there are special personnel responsible for all this.
It is expensive to hire a doctor in the country of the other, but there is no need for money at all in Shinano Town, and medicine is also cheap. The most beautiful building in the whole town is not where the mayor lives, but a welfare home for orphans. As for where the mayor of the town lived in Uehara, it is ironic that the entire town of Uehara was rebuilt, and there was not a single residence here that belonged to him, he lived in the village.
"Hey, what country are you from?" A man with a hoe passed by, and he was very rude to grab someone with a knife and ask.
"What's wrong with the land of the earth?"
"Nothing." Tape shook his head, "But I seem to have heard that the mayor here is a terrible traitor, staying in this guy's town......"
"Traitor? That's my business! The townsfolk looked at the knife as they looked at it, "You can't be here to arrest him, are you?" ”
"Even if it is......"
The other party's hoe has been raised.
Before the shiny hoe smashed into his head, he ran away with a knife in embarrassment.
