On the river, two large cargo ships sail down the river, one of the sailors on board is busy and busy, and the other looks quiet and peaceful, as if on vacation.

The busy one was carrying the goods bound for the Iron Country, while the other, a more elaborate-looking ship, was carrying the owner of the cargo and his family.

At this moment, a gray-clothed young man stood at the bow of the gorgeous ship, and a man with a bandage on his leg sat beside him.

With your eyes closed, you face the wide river.

Bursts of cool breeze hit his face with water mist, and Lu Ming couldn't help but open his hands, enjoying the cold and refreshing morning.

Relying on the signboard of Taki Shinobi, the other party seemed to be in line with the idea of multiple free guards, and Lu Ming and the two were able to successfully mix with this cargo ship along the way.

The reason for choosing to take a boat is that it is indeed much more comfortable than riding in a carriage, after all, there is no concrete road in the Hokage.

Clean and tidy cabins.

A young man and a middle-aged man are talking to me sentence by sentence.

The young man bowed and said, "Lord Yamashiro, most of our shipments are precious metals, and presumably those samurai in the Iron Country will definitely flock to it. ”

The middle-aged man was not as optimistic as the young man, but said lightly, "Yes, this deal is indeed worth it, but the world is not good now, and this batch of goods is nearly half more than usual, and the carriage transportation is too obvious, so I specially chose the waterway, at least it will be much safer than the former." ”

"It's worthy of Lord Yamashiro, and it's thoughtful."

Although he knew that he was afraid of sycophants, it seemed to be really the same thing that came out of the young man's mouth, which made people feel comfortable to listen to, which is why he used this young man so much.

At this time, the small door in the cabin was opened, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl stepped out gently, her light green hair color reflected the redness on her face, and said with a smile, "Brother Shui Mist, father, it's almost time to eat." ”

Shan Cheng smiled slightly and said, "Okay! ”

The girl seemed to suddenly remember something, "By the way, do you want those two people outside to call them?" ”

After a moment of silence, Yamashiro shook his head, "You can just get them something to eat and let them settle it outside." Then he turned to the young man and said, "Let's go in first." ”

"Oh, okay." The young man's eyes casually glanced at the girl's back, and quickly retracted it.

……

"You're hungry too, this is the rice ball I made with my mother, let's try it."

The crisp sound sounded like a lark, and the girl's unique fragrance greeted her with the breath of youth.

"Thank you!" Talking and talking, his eyes are clear, he is very aura, and his tutor is also very good, this is Lu Ming's first impression of the girl.

"Little brother, where are you going?" The girl asked curiously.

"We stopped close to Takinokuni and the destination was ...... Go to his house! ”

"It turns out that this big brother's home is in Takino Country, so it's also very close to our destination." The girl's tone was a little cheerful, as if she was yearning for the outside world.

"I've come from the south, and although I've never been to the Land of Wind, I've been to both the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain for a while......" The injured man didn't answer, he had to pick it up himself, so as not to be cold.

"No, Rain Country, I heard that there were ninjas fighting over there before!" The girl was surprised, although she had never been there, she was not uncommon to be a homeless person in the Land of Rain, ragged and skinny...... You can see it even here, so you can imagine the tragic situation in the Land of Rain.

"That was before, I came out early." Lu Ming touched his head and could only explain helplessly.

The shinobi man next to him stopped chewing the rice balls and pursed his lips, if this kind of words were put before, he believed it, but after seeing his strength, he was very keen to hear the other party's lies.

However, the girl didn't doubt him at all, and chatted all over the world, and Lu Ming also talked about what he had seen and heard along the way, compared to this rich daughter, he could be regarded as having traveled a few miles.

Moreover, he spoke with a humor that those around her did not have, and a simple journey was vividly depicted by him.

The girl's eyes seemed to be emerging with exotic pictures, revealing a yearning look.

"It would be nice if one day I could see for myself." The tone was yearning and melancholy, and she seemed to understand the difficulty of this matter.

Compared with the liveliness of the girl, the shinobi man who has been buried in eating balls seems a little silent, obviously he is not very good at dealing with this kind of 'heterosexual talk' situation.

On the one hand, he is not adaptable, and on the other hand, he does not comment on the teenager's statement.

How could the samurai of the Iron Country go to learn Chakra, as a neighboring country, Taki Shinobu also knows something about this group of stubborn samurai, they only value kendo, swordsmanship, they will not learn a profession that they look down on.

Thinking of this, the shinobu man suddenly felt that the wind around him seemed to be stronger.

In fact, it is not that the wind has become stronger, but that the speed of the ship has become faster.

At this point in the boat, the river began to ripple, and the current became a little faster, and although the hull of the boat was still steady, he already sensed that something was wrong.

"It's time for me to go back, too." The girl stood up, brushed her windblown bangs, and smiled at the two.

The moment she turned around, she suddenly felt her hand being grabbed by another wide hand.

"Don't go in!" Without hesitation, the shinobu man grabbed her hand and reminded.

The girl was shocked and wanted to break free, but the other party's hand was like a pair of pliers, and she couldn't move her palm at all.

"You protect her!" Although Lu Ming was much younger than the other party, his words made the man nod unconsciously.

There was already a faint smell wafting from the cabin, a smell that could make ninjas familiar, what else could it be besides the smell of blood?

The strong masculine aura around her made her blush a little, but the solemn look on the other party's face also made her understand a little, he didn't seem to be doing anything to herself......

At this moment, as if in response to the attitude of the two, six or seven figures in the water jumped up, and the deck at the bow of the ship suddenly felt occupied.

The sound of metal clashes and unsettling shouts of killing could already be heard from the other ship.

The girl leaned forward to the man behind her with some fear, at this time she couldn't care about the etiquette from childhood to adulthood, because only in this way could she get a sense of security.

"Bandits, robbers?" Lu Ming didn't feel the fluctuations of chakra in these people, either they were well hidden, or they were just ordinary people, of course, the latter were the majority.

"Boy, get out of the way, this chick, our boss is still useful!" The chubby bearded scumbag man held a machete in his hand, squeezed out a lewd smile and stepped forward.

"Oh, and who's your boss?" Lu Ming turned in his mind and asked with a smile.

"It's me!" Without waiting for the younger brother to continue speaking, a man in ordinary clothes in the cabin slowly stepped out of the shadows, revealing a bright red stain in front of him, and the freshness of the blood seemed to indicate that he had just committed the crime......
