Chapter 16: Target: The Land of Rainbows

"Thank you." At this moment, the wooden barrel in the bathhouse has washed away the blood stains on his body, and the arm that escaped from Konoha before has not been healed and has added a new injury, and his hands can't be put outside the bucket with water, and he didn't expect that the last person to help him would be this young master of Peking University who was soaking in the bath next to him and enjoying his posture.

"It's kind of a tribute to you." There were only two people in the huge bathhouse, and before dawn, he went to the street to send Suzune away, and saw the street that was broken by a night's battle and the Li who was paralyzed in blood and water in a daze, and calmly arranged for the people to clean up the scene to appease the surrounding residents, and dragged Li away under the frightened gaze of a group of people, and smashed the door of the bathhouse with money, the boss looked at the bloodstained Li and looked at the pile of banknotes on the table, and swallowed his saliva to prepare hot water. "If you hadn't said good things about me to Suzune, I guess she wouldn't have looked at me right now."

"That's it......" Thinking back to the scene at that time, after the battle passed, he sat in the bloodstain, and gradually some people dared to go out to observe the situation, and slowly a group of people huddled together and pointed at their frightened whispers and did not dare to come forward, yes, there were also members of the performance troupe such as Suzune Xiaodouzi in the crowd of onlookers, and when he was dragged away by Horikita, he glanced at the crowd, and their eyes made Li very strange - like looking at a beast that killed people. I take back what I said earlier. ”

"What?" Horikita asked in surprise as he wiped a towel on his face with the hot air.

"You're not a straw bag." A pampered rich kid not only did not panic when he saw the corpse like rotten meat, but also arranged a lot of affairs in an orderly manner, and his opinion of Horibei was suddenly turned upside down.

"Hey, I still need to say it." Horikita looked smug, but immediately changed the subject. "I really didn't expect a little ghost like you to be a ninja, it seems that he is still a master, how can you get your hands on that pool of rotten meat, I am terrified when I see it."

"......" is in no mood to answer this question, but fortunately, Horibei is only complaining and does not really want to get to the bottom of it.

"Those who died should be Konoha ninjas, right?" Horikita stepped out of the barrel to clean up the water stains on his body, "I don't know what happened to you, but this is still the territory of the Fire Nation, what are you going to do next?" ”

"I'll leave right away, and I won't trouble you." Knowing that the three shadows killed by him were Konoha ninjas, he was willing to help himself.,It's clear that the children of a family like Horibei will inevitably face a lot of pressure.,To be honest, I'm very grateful in my heart.。

"That's not what I meant." Changing into a bathrobe, Horikita stood in front of him and looked him in the eyes, "My family is the gold lord of Konoha, they won't do anything to me, but you will be in trouble, and you want to go to the Rainbow Country because of these things?" ”

“…… Be. ”

"Hey! From just now, you have such a dead dad expression, what's going on! Horikita was a little impatient with Li's indifferent expression, "Didn't you kill the three ninjas who came to chase you, what else is there to lose your soul!" ”

There were no words from lowering his head to avoid Horikita's gaze.

"Alas......" sighed, Horikita shook his head, gave up communication, and prepared to leave.

"Two good Samaritans saved me."

"Huh?" Horikita, who had already lifted the curtain and was about to go out, heard the sound of Li coming from behind him, turned back against the wall, looked at the back of Li's head exposed wood, and continued the conversation. "So what?"

"They were the first people I met after I escaped, and they were really nice to me." With his back to the expression that couldn't see Li, but Horikita felt the suppressed sadness from Li's flat tone, and he also had that feeling - not long after his mother's death, his tears had long since dried up, and he watched another woman live in his mother's room without the slightest crying, by the way, the old man was still touching my head and saying that I was sensible.

Smiled sarcastically and didn't say anything, Horikita waited quietly for the following, he knew that what he needed at this moment was not comfort, but confiding.

"I used to be an atheist, but I prayed to God that they would be safe all their lives, but ...... They died because of me. ”

"That's enough." Hearing that Horikita had already connected the cause and effect, and wanted to stop Li from continuing, he knew that Li must not want to think of those memories again.

"I used to read in books that the first time I killed someone, I would have reactions such as wanting to vomit and being nervous." As if he didn't hear Horikita's voice, he left to say to himself, "But I didn't, of course I'm not a pervert who likes to kill, and the feeling of blood sticking to my hands is really a little disgusting, but ......"

"I said you're enough!"

"It hurts! What are you doing? "The back of the head was slapped hard by Horikita.,Although the injury that caused the crossing is almost healed.,But it's still a little painful.,It's finally interrupted to tell the strange look of Horikita who seems to be very angry.。

"Everyone has a past that is unbearable, but that's not a reason to be depressed!" To be honest, I feel that Horibei's demeanor full of blood at this time is a bit of a middle two.

"You're not the same." Li responded lightly as if he had seen through Horibei, "Don't tell me that you were in Taoguang before." ”

The gap between the performance before and after Horibei is too big.,It's too big to find a loophole in Horibei's words to fight back.,I think he's also deliberately showing a straw bag because of some memories.。

"Well......" couldn't help blushing, Horibei pretended to cough, and I didn't think about how to refute it for a long time, so I could only admit it with a bitter face, "You're right, I really didn't think life was meaningful." ”

"Before?"

"Yes, before yesterday." Horikita smiled and took his blurry gaze away from his face, "I once felt that I was bored in life, the old man had long been desperate for me, and I gave birth to several more at a young age, and I also lived a life of drunken dreams and deaths - until I met Suzune, I was full of hope for life again, and my daily breath was accompanied by fragrance, she was the meaning of my existence...... I wanted to make a change for her. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to leave my family and go to the country of business to work my own, as long as I have my own industry, I will have enough confidence to propose to Suzune." "Suzune said that their troupe often passes through the country of Shang, and when the time comes...... Hey, hey, hey......"

"I wish you success in advance."

"Thanks, no!" Horikita suddenly reacted from the outline of the future, "Aren't we talking about you?" ”

"But I don't have the person who let me find the meaning of my existence." Li lowered his eyelids and looked at the water in the barrel, "I don't even know where I'm going right now." ”

"Let's go to the Land of Rainbows."

"Huh?" Looking up at Horikita, he didn't know why Horikita gave this answer.

"Since you don't have a target for the time being, let's set off along a predetermined route, and you will always find it." Horikita enlightened like a confidant big brother, "It may be someone, or it may be something or something, as long as you are on the road, sooner or later you will find a goal that allows you to realize the value of life." ”

Li was a little moved, in fact, he had also thought of these, but the sudden arrival of the dark department with the death of Uncle and Xiao Xian made Li a little confused.

"You're right." Li cheered up and stood up from the bucket, "There is no point in self-pity, the set goal - the country of rainbows!" ”

Since you don't know the meaning of your existence, let's go and find it.
