Chapter 1 Nothing is better than good
Unlike many people who travel through this world, Liu Qing has not gained any language talent after crossing into this world, at least at this moment, he can guess the true meaning of the language in the mouth of many adults from the pronunciation, but he cannot guarantee 100% accuracy. For example, if you read "big bird", does it mean a very large bird with many feathers that can fly? Or does it refer to a lump in the crotch of the pants that will be useful later? The fathers always said this word in a very respectful tone, obviously not the same thing as the two things that Liu Qing guessed.
Speaking of pronunciation, Liu Qing's name has also changed. He is no longer a name that can be found on the authentic hundred family names, but has a daily name, called "Yuchuan Shengguo", if interpreted literally, it can be understood as a plateau city-state shining in the sun. Although I really can't figure out what my father thought of when he named him, he gave himself such a strange name, but this name has replaced Liu Qing and become his current name.
This is a relatively closed mountain village, surrounded by mountains and jungles on all sides, Liu Qing asked the old people, saying that they moved into this closed valley from the outside world to escape the war. No one can say exactly how many years, but it has been a long time, so long that the first inhabitants have become natural fertilizers under some bulge on the hills.
Every month, people in the village will go to the outside city to buy some daily necessities, and the villagers' thoughts of going out are not particularly strong. Moreover, everyone has long been accustomed to this kind of life of plowing at sunrise and resting at sunset.
The village is not large, with more than 100 households and more than 600 people, and in addition to farming, it is possible to sit together and chat and play leaf cards as the only pleasure. There is not too much deceitful erosion and pollution, so Liu Qing is very comfortable here.
In his previous life, he also had a beautiful life, but also a down-and-out life, and he understood the value of a peaceful life. He perfectly brought himself into the vision of a five-year-old child, once again enjoying the ease of carefreeness.
"Holy country, go wash your hands, it's time to eat." Liu Qing's father, like most of the men in this isolated village, was a farmer, and the unexploited and industrially polluted environment made the profession of a farmer more comfortable than expected. Liu Qing's mother has left the family, and I have heard people say that it is because she went out once, she can no longer keep her stable heart, and she can't keep this almost primitive life, and finally chose to leave here and go outside to pursue a new life.
Maybe she'll regret it when she's old, maybe not.
In this family, there are only two people, Liu Qing's father, Yuchuan Charter and Liu Qing.
There were two grilled fish on the dining table, and some small animals from the mountains, and the fragrant rice made Liu Qing have an appetite, and as soon as he picked up the bowl, he was knocked on the head by a chopstick from the Tamagawa Charter.
"You must pay homage to your ancestors first, and then you can eat!" , Tamagawa Charter is a very stubborn person, and many times Liu Qing feels that he is no longer stubborn, but old-fashioned. This may have something to do with the lack of contact with the outside world.
Liu Qing and Tamagawa Charter knelt in front of a katana and bowed seriously, and Tamagawa Charter silently recited a prayer in his mouth. According to the Tamagawa Charter, this katana is a treasure handed down from the ancestors, a proof of the glory of the ancestors, and has been around for a long time. The heroic spirits of each generation of ancestors are attached to the katana and are with their families. Liu Qing doesn't believe this statement, if that's the case, why don't you use it, father?
Every time he talked about this topic, Tamagawa always looked ashamed, and then retracted his fingers and knocked out a few bags on Liu Qing's head. He didn't say it, but Liu Qing understood that it must not be used. As for why it couldn't be used, Liu Qing guessed that it might be that the katana was too old, and it had oxidized and corroded, and it had died of rust in the scabbard. I can't even pull it out, so what can I talk about?
The spineless grilled fish was crushed with chopsticks and mixed with rice, sprinkled with a little chopped vegetables, and put a small piece of oil extracted from animal fat, and both father and son couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
The two looked at each other and smiled, holding the rice bowl and eating it in a big gulp.
A happy life, nothing turbulent, very calm, very boring, but in this calm to boring life, there is a kind of lazy comfort that has always nourished Liu Qing, so that he can't raise a trace of motivation except for playing with those children.
Starting a family? Let's talk about it when I grow up!
As the days passed by peacefully, the temperature began to drop, and the leaves outside the door were covered with hoarfrost when we woke up in the morning, and the new year that everyone was looking forward to came.
However, on this day, a group of uninvited guests broke into the canyon and broke into the village.
The person who came was dressed in a short suit, his wrists and calves were tied tightly, and there was a sense of anger between his eyebrows. There were five people in all, two of whom were wounded, and one of them was seriously injured and was carried on the back of another person.
Faced with this group of uninvited guests, the village chief immediately greeted him, "Are you hurt?" Hurry up and get inside, we have herbs for wounds. Life in the valley is inevitably a variety of animals, small animals, large animals, some peaceful and some cruel. Injuries have long been commonplace, and it is not unusual, and it is normal to prepare some herbs in case of emergency.
One of the words was not too high, a little handsome man nodded, arranged for the injured to enter the house, he stood outside the door and thanked the village chief, "I'm sorry for the trouble, but the situation is really urgent, I hope it didn't disturb your life." β
The village chief waved his hand again and again, "If you don't see it, forget it, but when you see your friend injured so badly, you have to be a ruthless person with a straight face, and you really can't do it." The outsider's thanks to him made him feel very face-saving in front of the villagers, and he smiled and twisted his goatee and continued: "If you need anything, you can come to me, don't be embarrassed, we are happy to help those in need." β
The children stood in groups outside the courtyard of the village elder and grandfather, peeking at the outsiders in the courtyard through the low wall that was only one meter high, and they felt particularly strange.
Children, naturally, are full of curiosity about everything in this world, and this curiosity will not be hidden because of their life experience or experience, but will be directly expressed on their faces. Curiosity about the outside world makes them want to see how these people from the outside are different from themselves and the people in the village.
It's not a very pleasant thing to be watched, especially since there are some problems with the origins of these five people. They are not good people, but a group of wandering ninjas, the ninja war outside has ended, but the aftermath is not over, a large number of fleeing ninjas form a small force, in addition to the ability to rob ordinary people everywhere, a little ability, are in the underground world as a hired ninja.
Kidnapping, extortion, extortion, assassination, ......, as long as they can get money, there is nothing they are unwilling to do.
These five people are such a group of people. They were tasked with assassinating a nobleman, but unfortunately failed. The other party also hired a ninja, and it was a very powerful ninja, and the three of them let their mission fail, and they were seriously injured. If it weren't for the fact that they had prepared for a failed evacuation before the mission, they might have been lying in the middle of nowhere by now, serving as a sumptuous dinner for the wild dogs.
Liu Qing was also watching these five people, and he felt that these five people were not good people. This perception of the outside world comes from the life experience of the previous life, with several ups and downs, people I have seen, and countless things I have encountered. Just by glancing at it, he could see that these people were really not good people, and there would be nothing good about coming here.
It's just that he's just a child, and he can't speak in front of adults, and even if adults really listen to him, they won't do anything.
In this small closed village, the people are still too kind.
Sometimes, kindness is also a sin.
He only hoped that the five of them would leave quickly after recovering from their injuries and not bring any changes to the village.
But many times, the more people are afraid of something, the more they will encounter.
"Big brother, how's it going?" The person who spoke was lying on the bamboo bed, he was wearing a bandage, and a layer of pink blood stains faintly appeared on the bandage, and his eyebrows twitched when he spoke, obviously his injuries were very serious, and he still hurt.
The handsome ninja in the lead, shook his head, "It's not good, some of the warning signs I left outside have been destroyed, and the other party may be nearby." β
When he heard the news, the guy on the bamboo bed was angry, and when he opened his mouth, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, he clenched his fists unwillingly, because of the pain, a layer of sweat secreted from his sideburns, "We have admitted defeat and left, what do they want, they have been chasing us all like this, do they have to kill us all to make them satisfied?" β
The handsome ninja sneered twice, but his eyes were as cold as this cold night, without a trace of temperature, "Don't be naΓ―ve, Chenguang, we assassinated the nobles this time, they won't give up, they can only hate those Konoha ninjas, if it weren't for them, how could there be so much trouble." He seemed to be really angry, waved his fist vigorously, took two steps back and forth, and looked up at everyone, "I can't stay here, the ghost knows when they will come over, and we will leave early tomorrow morning." β
The shortest of the five suddenly interjected, "What about the people here?" They've already seen us, and no matter how we go, there's a chance they'll leave enough information for others to catch up with me. As he spoke, his gaze stayed on the two wounded.
Ninjas are incredible creatures that can be found with just a few clues that seem trivial to ordinary people. If the ninjas of Konoha really searched outside the valley, once they found out here, then whether they left or not, they would probably be discovered by the group of dog-like Konoha ninjas.
The ninja, who was called the eldest brother, lowered his head slightly, his bangs covered the jade-like moonlight, and in the shadows, a pair of narrow eyes flickered with cold light.
