Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Great Fool of Mushroom Picking
Winter goes to spring, the sun rises and the moon sets, and as the days go by, more than half of the 60th year of Konoha has been established, and there is a new scene in the country of grass adjacent to the country of fire.
It's the beginning of October, and the autumn is crisp, and it's harvest time for a country like Grass Country, which places a lot of emphasis on plant growth, so the residents here are very busy.
In a forest on the border between the two countries, which is closer to the "Land of Fire", there is a small mountain village called "Kujo Village", which has been basically isolated from the outside world since it was settled hundreds of years ago.
However, because the village is backed by mountains, has a stream in front of it, and is surrounded by abundant forest resources that can be gathered, this isolated village can be self-sufficient even if it has no contact with the outside world at all.
When the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone down, not far from the entrance of the "Kongtiao Village", a teenage girl dressed in coarse cloth was already walking towards the outside of the village with a bamboo basket made of rattan on her back.
Over the years, the habit of making the girl always wake up a little earlier than others, which is especially evident in this relatively lazy mountain village.
"It's a good weather today, it rained yesterday, there must be a lot of herbs to dig up in the mountains, we have to hurry."
The girl muttered to herself while carrying the bamboo building, which was still empty at this time, on her slightly thin shoulders.
The girl's name is Rina Kujo, a native of the mountains and towns in the "Kujo Village", and her father, Ichiro Kujo, is the head of the village and is in charge of the village, which has only about 100 residents.
Although Lian Nai is only fourteen years old this year, she has black hair, a slender jade neck, fair complexion, and a graceful body.
Rena is even more popular because she is the most knowledgeable herbalist in the village, especially after the death of her grandmother, the well-known pharmacist Kurajo Herry.
This border village has a world of its own, with rice as the main thing, and the villagers are also well-fed, and the village is surrounded by patches of fertile farmland.
Rina quickly left the village and walked towards the forest outside, because she had been wandering around the forest since she was a child, and the forest in this area could be said to be similar to her home.
Because of the rain yesterday, there were a lot of plump mushrooms growing on the forest floor, but Rena couldn't help but shake her head when she saw these mushrooms.
Although these mushrooms look similar to ordinary edible mushrooms, they are actually poisons, and laymen have no way to tell them.
"Hallucinatory mushroom", "abdominal pain mushroom", "paralyzing mushroom" ...... Rena, who has been learning herbal medicine from her grandmother since she was a child, naturally knows these mushrooms, so she will never pick them and eat them.
"Grandma used to say that if these mushrooms were mixed and eaten, they would even bleed from their eyes, but I don't know if there is such a ...... Hey! What is that! ”
Just as Rena was cautiously shuttling through the woods, she happened to see a figure lying on the ground in a clearing not far away!
"Hey! Are you still ...... Yes! This guy! ”
When Rena hurriedly ran over, she found that the person who had fallen to the ground was actually a young boy who looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, and there was a saucepan beside the boy, and the pot was full of ordinary-looking mushrooms.
The boy who fell to the ground, the ground where there were obvious signs of a fire, the poisonous mushrooms in the stew pot, it was not difficult for even a fool to guess what was going on here.
Okay, there are really stupid people who dare to eat like this, but fortunately, he still has a save. After confirming that the boy, whose face had turned purple, was still angry, Renna's face showed a happy expression......
Half-unconscious, Hinata Goyuki, who was in a semi-comatose state, felt as if someone was carrying him forward, and then his mouth seemed to be pried open, and a pile of slimy stuff was poured into his belly.
Hmmm
Although Yuxing wanted to say no to the man who was pouring himself with something he didn't know, he couldn't even lift a finger now, so he had to continue to swallow those unpleasant things.
"That's pretty much it."
"Sister Lianna, why does this guy drink so many herbs?"
"Because he ate twelve kinds of poisonous mushrooms, each of which has different detoxification ingredients, the amount of herbs is also very large."
"Twelve poisonous mushrooms? Is this guy stupid, hahahaha! ”
You're stupid...... Hell knows those are poisonous mushrooms......
After hearing the conversation between the two people next to him, Yu Xing had to sigh secretly, to be honest, the ghost knew what kind of poisonous mushroom it was, didn't it look exactly like an ordinary mushroom?
"Ah, the swelling on this guy's face has subsided, and he looks pretty good."
After a while, the antidote that had just been poured into Goyuki's belly had obviously taken effect, and Kujo Renna's younger brother, Kujo Taro, pointed to the young boy's face and said with a smile.
Indeed, the twelve-year-old Hinata Goyuki has long lived up to the appearance of a child, his complexion is fair, and his facial features are delicate with a touch of handsomeness, but he does not look too girly, but has a heroic atmosphere.
Judging from the clothes he was wearing, this child should not be from an ordinary family.
After cleaning up the residue of the herbs, Rena also came to the bedside and sat down, reaching out to touch Goyuki's forehead......
But at this moment, a hand grabbed Renna's wrist like lightning, and at the same time, the eyes of the boy lying on the bed also broke away.
"Ah, you can move so quickly!"
Lianna was suddenly taken aback by this sudden scene, but what surprised her the most was not the guy's movements, but the boy's ability to move his body so quickly.
"Did you save me? Sorry for the trouble. ”
When Goyuki sat up, he was greeted by a very simple wooden house, and two young girls and boys dressed in burlap clothes, one large and one small, sitting on the edge of the bed.
The girl was a little older, looking to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, while the boy was only ten years old, and both were looking at him in amazement.
"You...... Your eyes ......"
However, as soon as Goyuki stood up, the first thing Rena noticed was not what he said, but the pair of eyes that even had pure white pupils!
"Well, it's a family genetic disease, but it doesn't have any negative impact on vision."
It seemed that he had become accustomed to the strong curiosity of others about his eyes, and Yuxing quickly explained with a smile.
But this girl ...... It's still pretty good.
I have to say that even though Yuxing has wandered around the Fire Country in the past two years, he still rarely sees such an excellent girl as Renna.
Maybe it's because of the relationship between the border villages with beautiful mountains and rivers, the girl's eyes are as clear as the lake, with neat facial features and a slender figure, it is really like a hibiscus out of the water.
"Ahem, you stand up and take a look twice."
As if sensing Goyuki's gaze as if admiring a work of art, Rena took his hand a little embarrassed and pulled him over, pointing to the corner of the room and letting him take a few steps to take a look.
"How many steps? How many steps are you walking without illness? It's okay, they all say I'm ...... Ay? ”
However, just as Yuxing smiled and walked forward, he found that his legs and feet seemed to be a little ...... Eccentric?
No, it's not weird, what is this sudden paralysis?
It was as if there was a problem with a certain position in the legs and feet, but the left foot that Goyuki had just stepped out felt a strong feeling of paralysis when he landed!
"Sure enough, although most of the poison in your body has been eliminated, the poison of the "paralyzing mushroom" is not so easy to eliminate, and it is estimated that it is still in your body now. ”
"What the hell! When will this toxicity be eliminated? ”
"Well, judging from your physical fitness, it's about ten days."
Ten...... Ten days? But I'm going to rush back to Konoha in a week to take the ninja school graduation exam!
In an instant, Yuxing's face turned white.
