Chapter 54: Nanga Shrine
At present, Konoha is relatively backward in both spiritual and material terms, and there is no nightlife at all, so walking on the streets of Konoha, Su Zeying has never met anyone all the way.
Only the sound of Hotaru and his own footsteps ringing in his ears, and the moonlight that is almost unified. Then there were the pale stone slabs and walls, and the detour from one side of Konoha to the other was about a few kilometers long.
- The last two men walked to the Uchiha's station.
"Here it isβ"
Su Zeying tilted his head, looked at the fan logo on the building not far away, and looked at Firefly suspiciously.
"Shh......h
Hotaru raised her fingers and made a "silence" gesture to Su Zeying.
She took Su Zeying's hand, avoided the Uchiha family's night watch, and marched from the side, following a hidden path between the trees.
"Yingβthis is it."
Hotaru greeted Su Zeying, pointed to a house in front of him that looked a little dilapidated, and showed a smile.
"Where is this?"
Su Zeying looked at the dusty building in front of her, like a dilapidated house in the demolition of a nail household, and opened her mouth slightly.
"This is my home......"
Hotaru whispered, as if feeling a little embarrassed, and lowered her head with a red face.
"But, although it is not as magnificent as your house, my house is also very beautiful!"
After blushing a little, Hotaru added unconvinced. Su Zeying stopped being amused, rubbed her hair, and grinned:
"Okay, okayβI got it."
"Come in with me."
Hotaru regained her vitality again, she took Su Zeying's hand, trotted to the door, took out the key and opened the door-
"Click."
After a soft sound, the door opened, and what appeared in front of Su Zeying was a small world that looked orderly under the moonlight, but was too deserted.
ββIn the whole room, as far as Su Zeying can see, although it is extremely neat, it is slightly plain, not at all like the residence of a little girl who has just reached the age of eight.
"How?"
Hotaru turned on the light, and under the light of the electric light, the furnishings and decorations of the entire room were more clearly presented in front of Su Zeying's eyes - the soft white tones, the floor was delicate, and the entire interior of the room looked spotless, compared to the exterior of this house, it looked like a sharp contrast.
And Hotaru just stood there, slightly proud and slightly shy, holding his head high, and asked Su Zeying.
"That's good!"
Su Zeying pulled the door with her backhand, looked at the repairs in the house, and casually admired.
"Hee-hee."
Hotaru immediately became smiling.
Su Zeying walked over casually, and suddenly her eyes fell on a place, and she was slightly stunned-
"The ......"
He pointed toward the place.
ββ¦β¦ Is that your parents? β
It was the place pointed by Su Zeying's hand, where there happened to be a large photo hanging on the wall.
In the photo, a young man is hugging a woman with a slightly bulging belly, and the woman has a beautiful face and leans gently against the man.
The husband and wife look very warm, and the warm atmosphere seems to be conveyed to the viewer through the photo.
"That...... Uh, yes. β
Hotaru followed the place Su Zeying pointed at, glanced at the photo, her body stiffened for a moment, and then her smile returned.
"That's ......"
Su Zeying nodded and was silent for a moment.
Hotaru's eyes focused on the photo, and pursed her lips slightly:
"I heard that my father was also an elite ninja...... But he died on the mission before I was born. My mother also had a difficult birth when she gave birth to me. It is said that my home was not in this place, it was not so remote and not so small. But then someone said I was a 'scourge', so they moved my family here - it doesn't seem like my home, but I've gotten used to it after living so long......"
There was a hint of stubbornness in Firefly's expression, as well as a hint of extremely sharp and delicate intent, which opened Su Zeying's eyes.
"This girl even has this side...... That's right, she is also an orphan who lost her father and mother, and this girl doesn't have my mature psychological state, so of course there will be a dark side in her heart. β
Su Zeying thought so in her heart.
"It's just ......"
ββ¦β¦ Although in my previous life, I often heard stories similar to this kind of 'orphans and widows' who were persecuted by their clans and plundered their property, but I didn't expect that there would be such a thing in this ninja world...... Sure enough, the world is bustling, and it is all profitable; The world is crowded, all for profit. β
Su Zeying sneered slightly sarcastically in his heart.
Hotaru was depressed for a moment, but soon recovered - loneliness is a habit that will be used to, after so many years alone, although Su Zeying was reminded of the sad past, but soon this emotion faded.
"Ying, let's go......"
Firefly Xu's soft little hand picked up Su Zeying and walked forward with steps.
"Where are we going?"
Su Zeying asked with interest, walking forward with Hotaru's steps.
"Go upstairs - you'll know when you go upstairs."
Hotaru God is mysterious and secretive. The girl in the white fabric was very fair-skinned in the light, and she looked like an elf.
She took Su Zeying's hand and walked up to the second floor of this room, and then pushed open the door on the second floor.
- Outside the door is the rooftop.
Above the rooftop, there was nothing, nothing.
Only moonshine.
"This is it!"
Hotaru said cheerfully.
"There's nothing here...... What do you want me to see? β
Su Zeying hugged her chest and asked with a smile.
"Moon...... Look at the moon - look at the moon in the sky! β
Hotaru said in a high mood, and immediately ran to the rooftop, standing in the moonlight, like an elf who really survived in the moonlight, and smiled toothily at Su Zeying.
"What's so nice about moonshine, isn't it everywhere......"
Su Zeying muttered and glanced at the sky.
- just one glance, and he was suddenly stunned.
The moon in the sky was white, revealing a glowing white that had never been seen before. In addition, the jade plate that appeared in the world was actually huge that Su Zeying had never seen before!
He had never seen such a plain and bright moonlight since he was born!
"This ......"
Su Zeying was stunned.
"How?"
Hotaru came over, breathing in the moonlight, and looked at Su Zeying with a slightly red face.
"Ying."
She turned her head sideways, and also looked at the moon like Su Zeying, pursed her lips and smiled:
"This is what I found before, on the second floor of this house, and on certain nights, the moon can be seen very big and very beautiful......
She blushed and continued:
ββ¦β¦ It's a secret, Ying - I'm just telling you, you don't tell anyone else......"
She pulled Su Zeying's sleeve and said in a low voice.
"Heh......"
Su Zeying touched her head, withdrew her eyes, and smiled.
He suddenly turned his gaze to the side, pointed to a looming building hidden in the shade of a few hundred meters away, and asked dryly:
"Hotaru ...... What is that building called? β
Hotaru raised her head, looked at the outline of the building, blinked, and then said:
"Reflection...... I remember that place, it seemed to be the Uchiha's ancestral shrine - its name...... It seems, Minami Shrine? β
