Chapter 40: Hesitation
At lunchtime, I ate wild game as I wished.
It's just that when the sweaty Sanada Hanjiro came over excitedly carrying a piece of things, many people's hearts were broken.
Brother Banjiro was lucky, and with the help of his colleagues, he managed to catch the lost rabbit, but unfortunately...... Rabbits are cut in half. Asked the reason, Banjiro lightly said, the prey jumped quickly in the air, his eyes were quick, it was said that it was a trick of the family secret technique Yan Hui, and he successfully proved himself.
The smooth incision did show Hanjiro's good sword skills, but the smell of blood was too strong, and the envoy couldn't help but frown when he saw it.
"Asahi Yubai, this is yours, the rabbit is too small, only the broth." The eldest brother who delivered the meal, Hanjiro, finished speaking in a good feeling, and left after lunch, gesturing with a katana as he walked, like a master.
Yu Xiaobai could only shake his head, this samurai captain is quite cute, he drank a sip of soup, it seems that it is still the handiwork of the envoy girl, and the cooking skills are really good...... With a sigh of relief, Yu Xiaobai subconsciously looked at the place in the center of the camp. Junnatsu Hoshino took a sip of the bowl and stared at him wistfully across the long distance.
Okay, what about you to catch it?
Yu Xiaobai turned around awkwardly, pretending to let the wind go and look at the terrain, he saw Banjiro coming over before, and he immediately said very smoothly that he was arrested, and Hanjiro was very positive, which couldn't blame him.
In the afternoon, Yu Xiaobai felt as if there was a vague gaze in the air watching him, and with his perception, he would definitely not go wrong...... In desperation, when camping at night, Yu Xiaobai had no choice but to take matters into the woods by himself.
In less than half an hour he came out, and carried a large one in each hand. Let Shangnin catch animals, it's really a big fuss, with Yu Xiaobai's speed, you can overtake the other party by chasing directly, if the animal is smart to play with the terrain, then the direct shadow doppelganger technique is not explained.
When Yu Xiaobai threw the two intact deer in front of everyone, the air was quiet for a while, and Hanjiro was still wiping the knife seriously, but when he heard the sound, he almost didn't hold the knife, Hoshino Junxia's eyes lit up, and the red agate flashed.
"Ahem, let's eat this at night." Yu Xiaobai saw that everyone was looking at him, this seemed to be the first time he had received so much attention since he was escorted, hey, it was so sad.
The atmosphere was instantly enthusiastic, and many samurai even whistled. At noon, everyone didn't enjoy it at all, and this amount was enough for everyone to eat.
The bonfire rose, and the tour team showed their full use of the value of these two deer under the laughter, and many people began to greet Yu Xiaobai, the Konoha ninja is worthy of its name, the ninja is so powerful to catch it so quickly, and it is not split in half...... Yu Xiaobai's relationship with the team made him smile bitterly and got a lot closer.
"Well, you've got a hand." Hanjiro had a reluctant expression when delivering the meal, but he still had to mutter.
"Thank you." Yu Xiaobai thanked him, he had a good impression of this young and talented warrior, and it has been a problem to be able to send him food for so many days, loyalty, principle, and sometimes pride, it is also human nature.
However, when Yu Xiaobai sat by the fire and ate halfway, a figure in a red and white kimono sat down next to him.
"Yu Baisang, I didn't expect you to really catch it, and it seems to be very easy." The soft and beautiful voice flowed in his ears like a clear spring, and Junxia Hoshino held the bowl and curled up to look at him.
Hoshino Junxia's actions attracted the attention of many people, but after the impression of Yu Xiaobai changed a lot, everyone didn't care after watching it, and it is estimated that the envoy went to thank him.
"No, I have nothing to do with you." Yu Xiaobai replied casually, not daring to look at the eyes that were like Qinghong. Of course, the vigilant eyes of Sanada Hanjiro not far away also made him very uncomfortable.
"If only I could do this every day." The firelight reflected the surroundings orange, and Junnatsu Hoshino sighed.
"Huh?" The artistic conception is very good, but Yu Xiaobai keenly feels that there is a subtext in this sentence, eat meat every day?
"My main responsibility is to protect everyone's safety, and I really don't have the energy to spare to catch prey." Yu Xiaobai pulled the corners of his mouth and said, almost saying.
Junnatsu Hoshino had a cunning look in her eyes, more like a lively girl, "Ah, I was discovered." ”
"You can let Brother Banjiro go, see that although his noon technique is jerky, practice makes perfect, and ......" Yu Xiaobai's tone was teasing, "I see that Brother Banjiro is interested in the envoy." ”
"Why, what is there." Yu Xiaobai's words caught Hoshino Junxia off guard, and she was still a little blank in terms of emotion, "Banjiro-san is also doing his duty, right?" ”
"Yes." Yu Xiaobai smiled, "I don't believe you look at him like that now, his eyes are serious, and the knife in his hand is afraid that he will not use the secret technique of Yan Hui in the next second and chop me ......."
"Huh?" Hoshino Junxia looked over when she heard the words and found that this was the case, but Yu Xiaobai's words were too funny, her face was already a little blushing, and she couldn't help laughing now, she was very beautiful in the firelight.
Brother Banjiro really couldn't stand it anymore this time, and walked over with a stiff face, "Lord Envoy, it's not late, it's time to go to bed and rest." ”
Yu Xiaobai coughed lightly and turned his head without speaking.
Hoshino Junxia didn't want to believe Yu Xiaobai's words like this, but he couldn't find a refutation for a while, so he didn't dare to look at Sanada Hanjiro, and got up in a hurry, forgetting to take the bowl.
"That's so shy. Isn't it that the mud bomb (riben, transliteration) is very open, and it is not as good as a high school student in the Celestial Empire......" Yu Xiaobai looked at the bowl on the ground that was still half small, ignored Sanada Hanjiro's glare, and after settling the rest of the dinner, he was ready to jump on a tree with a wide field of vision and be vigilant as usual.
Who knows, there was a sound of kicking and trampling clogs, and the black-haired Hoshino Junxia ran to him angrily, and said quickly in Yu Xiaobai's surprised and unresponsive gaze.
"Yu Baisang, I almost forgot what I really wanted to say by what you said just now." Junxia Hoshino stretched out his hand, a coin lying in the palm of his hand, "What you want to tell me in the morning is that although the coin in the air has not fallen, the coin in my heart has landed, and the answer emerges the moment I toss the coin, so you don't need to look at the final result, right?" ”
Yu Xiaobai was speechless, "Uh, yes, but what you said is quite literary ......"
"Hmph." Junxia Hoshino put away the coin, thought of something, lowered his body and picked up something, "There are still bowls, and I won't send them back!" ”
Yu Xiaobai could only watch the way Hoshino Junxia turned around and left, scratching his head.
"Still." Hoshino Junxia's footsteps suddenly paused, "I still don't understand why Yu Baisan keeps throwing coins." ”
"Of course you don't understand......" Yu Xiaobai muttered inwardly, who would have known that a coin could become a big killer.
"Since the coin has such thoughts, then Yu Baisang keeps tossing the coin, is there anything difficult to decide, or is it still hesitant to know the answer?"
Hoshino Junxia's last words shocked his heart in a way that Yu Xiaobai didn't expect.
