Chapter 244: Wandering Caravans and Knight Maidens!
The old man's appearance was extremely recognizable, with a rough face, a large burgundy nose that was unusually conspicuous, two eyes small and deep, and a cloudy and bloodshot lens, and he looked to be about fifty years old.
His gray hair was messily combed back of his head, and he didn't have any trace of the majesty and shrewdness of a leader, and he looked more like the sloppy drunkard old man next door next door.
Strange to say, the place where the old man passed, or the campers who had become panicked by the appearance of a giant beast, quickly became quiet after seeing the old man's figure, and just stared at the development of the situation with still somewhat panicked eyes.
"Well, she doesn't need food, but I'm dying of hunger......" A lazy voice suddenly came from the back of a tall snow-white beast that was four or five meters tall, "If you don't mind being an uninvited villain, please arrange some food, I would appreciate it." ”
The voice is slightly hoarse, but you can still hear that the owner is not very old, and he is not even a minor. This made the quiet people in the camp slightly agitated, and the buzzing was faintly heard.
"Ahem~" The old man cleared his throat, and by the way, he also focused the attention of everyone in the field, so that people could calm down, "There are all close friends from all over the world, and when the distinguished guests come, they naturally have to entertain them well." It's just that because we are wandering around, we don't have anything too good to entertain you, if you don't think it's too coarse tea and light rice to eat, please have a light meal together! ”
It was hard for such a scruffy-looking drunkard leader to say such a sloppy sentence, and Tenma laughed and stood up from the comfort of Mu Q's back. Originally, although he sat cross-legged and did not deliberately hide it, because of the tall body of the little pet, it was difficult for ordinary people standing on the ground to see his existence, and now the young man's upright figure finally fell into the eyes of the curious and restless campers.
The young man standing on top of the tall fairy of the divine horse, looking about fourteen or fifteen years old, **** the slender upper body, the dried blood stains that could be faintly identified under the firelight once again made the campers uneasy, "Oh, by the way~ I also have a comatose companion, if it is not too troublesome, I hope you can help arrange a place to rest, I would be grateful." ”
Because of the old man's polite standard reception speech with a red rosacea nose, Tenma was also quite polite, and it was rare to chew the words.
After getting the old man's assurance, Tianma picked up the knight girl who was still lying on the comfortable fluff of Mu Q next to him, it was the posture of a princess, and he jumped off the back of the little pet, his knees were slightly bent, and he unloaded the impact of the fall, and stood firmly in front of the drunkard old man.
Although Tenma's current age is only less than fourteen years old, because of his usual attention to diet and rest, coupled with hard exercise, his height and body have almost caught up with that of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, with a height of one meter seven, with a slender four-limbed body, and a body with obvious muscles and muscles, he looks almost a head and a half taller than the sloppy drunkard in front of him.
The pitch-black broken hair looked quite messy because of the strong wind brought by Mu Q's rapid running, with a trace of uninhibited casualness.
The originally slightly chubby face has already become thin and shapely, and the thick and dark eyebrows are not very wide, straight and slightly inclined to the top, looking sharp and heroic.
Pegasus' eyes are not very large, and they even appear slightly narrow, with dark pupils shining and bright, with a straight nose, thin and square lips slightly pursed, resolute and resolute, and a sense of righteousness is transmitted.
Although Tenma is not handsome, handsome, and extremely flattering, he has a trace of tenacity and righteousness that makes the drunkard old man feel at ease, and of course, the most important thing is that the young man hides under the half-length broken hair, and the Konoha ninja's forehead protection accounts for a considerable reason.
Konoha has built a good reputation for decades, which makes ordinary civilians extremely dislike and even quite afraid of these ninjas with extraordinary strength.
As long as it wasn't the bad guy who came to rob the thing, the drunkard old man thought to himself, and then with a hint of enthusiasm to please Lu, he first found a place near the edge in the central tent and set up two couches, and then found a middle-aged woman in the caravan who knew how to bandage to take care of the knight girl, and then prepared to arrange dinner for Pegasus.
It's all well said, but looking at the figure of the tall beast still clinging to the Pegasus, the drunkard old man is visibly in trouble, and from time to time he sweeps away the mount tethered to the cliff and the strange-looking livestock used to tow it.
Seeing the problem that the old man was worried about at a glance, Tianma turned his head funny, glanced at the little pet behind him, and didn't speak, Xiao Mu Q, who had a mysterious sense, understood the meaning of his master very tacitly, and in this way, under the stunned gaze of all the onlookers, Shenjun's slender body shrank rapidly, and did not stop until it was the size of an ordinary domestic cat.
With a slight exertion of his limbs, he jumped on the shoulders of Pegasus affectionately, and sat there firmly, rubbing his little head against his master's cheek from time to time.
Is this what a ninja is capable of?! The drunkard's cloudy eyes pondered something, and although his heart was also extremely shocked, he did not show it on his face at all, so he smiled and led one person and two pets to the nearest bonfire, on which the roasted leg of lamb was dripping with fragrant grease......
"Hiccup~" Ten minutes later, after eating two legs of lamb and a large pot of vegetable soup, Pegasus slowed down his astonishing eating speed with satisfaction, and burped without any image.
The little Shar Pei next to him had already stopped eating, and was slightly embarrassed to hold his stubby front paws to cover his face, and the horrified eyes of the surrounding campers really made the little Shar Pei feel embarrassed and embarrassed for the boy.
As for Mu Q, after declining the barbecue from the campers next to her, Tenma casually took a bag of pet rations from nowhere and threw it to the little one, allowing her to bury her entire body in the bag of rations, and she was so happy that she clicked and gnawed.
Tenma could clearly feel the awe and fear of these strange wanderers for Mu Q far greater than what they were going to do for him.
After tearing off the last bite of the lamb leg in his hand, Tenma patted his bulging belly contentedly, and the feeling of fullness in his stomach and the warm happiness that came with it made him lazy.
Before the drunkard old man was about to open his mouth to test his identity and intentions, Tenma asked for a rest, leaving behind a group of worried and extremely curious wanderers, very unceremoniously carrying the little Mu Q in one hand and the little Shar Pei dog in the other, walked into the central tent, and carefully wiped the blood and dust on the mountain with the water and towels they flattered, and then lay down on the couch specially prepared for him next to the knight girl.
Only a meter away, there was a knight girl who had been bandaged and had changed into a shabby but clean clothes, still asleep groggyly.
"Well, anyway, good night." Although he slept for a while, after eating and drinking, the ensuing tiredness still made Tenma feel drowsy, and casually greeted the knight girl next to him and the two small pets who were dragged in his arms, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
The sound of strings and merry conversation outside the tent faded with the passage of time, and the night was deep, and the wanderers, who had been busy all day, lay down in their tents or slept in the open wilderness under heavy blankets and coats, except for the occasional faint snort of animals.
At about four o'clock in the morning, when all creatures slept at their deepest, a careful figure in the central tent slowly emerged from the warm and comfortable bed, and quietly left the quiet camp.
At the moment when the figure left the tent, the two vigilant little guys opened their eyes at the same time, and were in a trance for a moment, then scratched their little heads, pressed the idea of following, and fell into a deep sleep again.
That's right, the figure that left was none other than Pegasus.
It wasn't until the east turned white and the faint morning light rose that the boy came back from outside.
As the first rays of sunlight shone into this quiet campsite, the wanderers opened their eyes and prepared for a day of migration and toil.
Feed the livestock, prepare breakfast, sort out the goods, dismantle the tents, set up the trucks...... All actions are done in an orderly manner and with a clear division of labor, as if they had already become a habit.
It wasn't until everything was almost ready, and breakfast had been made, that the drunkard old man came to call the guests to eat with a drunken look.
"Hmm~" Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Tenma sat up from the quilt and smiled embarrassedly at the old man, "I'm sorry to excuse me, it's really rude to say it, I was entertained by you, but I still don't know your name." ”
"Me?" The old man shrugged his burgundy nose, and he seemed to be a little sluggish in his reaction to the smell of alcohol, and only after a moment did he introduce himself, "I am the elder of this caravan, my name is Cassie, and we are these homeless people who are called wanderers by the people of the village, and we move around with the change of seasons. ”
"What about you? A distinguished guest who can control the elves. ”
"As you can see," Tenma brushed away his sleep-totued hair from his forehead, revealing his trademark forehead guard, "I'm a ninja from Konoha Ninja Village, and on the way back from completing my mission, I was bothered by some injuries and some poor condition. ”
"Well~ don't say that," Elder Cassie sat down, holding a medicine mortar in his hand, which contained some herbs with a pungent smell, "Because of you and that elf, we can be considered to have a rare restful sleep!" ”
"Ahaha...... Harooha ......" Laughing meaninglessly, Tenma scratched his head, tossed aside the praise of the drunkard Cassie, took out a seal scroll from his inventory, opened it gently, and knotted a few simple seals in his hands, revealing a set of black clothes.
Cassie looked at it in amazement, and then he knew that Tianma was going to change his clothes, so he put the herbs that had already been pounded in his hand on the ground, "Well, someone will come to change the dressing for your companion later, it seems that she will have to be in a coma for three or two days to recover, and the washing things have been prepared outside the tent, and breakfast has been made, if you don't dislike it, let's eat some together!" ”
"I'm sorry for you, but she's not my companion...... Tenma said politely, glancing at the knight girl who still seemed to be asleep.
"Well~" Cassie didn't and didn't dare to ask deeply, and retreated with a pungent smell of wine.
When Cassie walked out, the boy tore open the futon and changed the set of clothes he had taken out quite boldly, but there was nothing to pay attention to, and there were only two small pets in the tent besides him, and an unconscious girl.
It wasn't until he had his clothes in order that Tenma dragged the strange little Shar Pei dog with his front paws over his head and placed it on his left shoulder, and Mu Q had already jumped on the boy's right shoulder.
"Alright, don't pretend to be asleep, I'm not hostile to you at the moment...... Otherwise, it won't save you. ”
As Tenma's lazy voice sounded, the girl's long thick eyelashes seemed to tremble slightly, and the palm covered under the quilt clenched unconsciously, but in the end she didn't open her eyes.
"Well~ Forget it, if you don't feel hungry, you can sleep as long as you want......" After complaining, Tianma had already opened the curtain and walked out.
With a hearty smile at an oncoming woman with a bandage in her hand, and nodding slightly gratefully, Tenma stepped on the slightly cold mist of the morning and washed up.
It wasn't until after breakfast that Tenma realized that the knight girl had woken up from the pain of an empty stomach.
The knight girl seemed to be very insecure, and when she woke up, she changed into the herbal bandage, wrapped in the silver-white armor again, and was devouring her breakfast, the simple but rather ornate short sword still held tightly in her hand.
Because of eating, the girl did not wear the helmet that could cover half of her face, and her gorgeous blonde hair was exposed to the warm morning sun.
The girl's skin is very white, with slender and slightly curved eyebrows, big lake-green eyes, and a sharp face, thin and slightly pursed pink lips, although it looks very beautiful and delicate, but the eyes and thin lips reveal a sense of perseverance and stubbornness.
The first moment the girl saw the figure of Tenma, she put aside the half-eaten breakfast in her hand, and the short sword in her right hand quickly slashed towards Tenma!
A gray-blue air stream burst out from the dagger, cutting through the faint mist of the morning and heading straight for the Pegasus!
Frowning instantly, in principle, it can be regarded as the first time that the girl who met for the first time slashed at her sword, which made Tianma slightly unhappy, how can I say that I also saved you, right?
This guy is definitely not my king!
Pegasus stared coldly at the knight girl who had slashed out her weapon, not dodging or dodging, allowing the magnificent energy flow to cut close in front of her!
"Phew!" The gray-blue energy blade easily pierced directly through the boy's body, cutting deep into the rocky ground, leaving a crack more than a meter deep in the hard ground!
The Pegasus that had been sliced open did not burst out of scarlet blood, but slowly faded and dissipated.
But at this moment, a sharp kunai suddenly appeared on the snow-white neck of the knight girl, "Hey! It's early in the morning and you don't want people to live in peace, what do you want to do?! ”
The answer to Tenma's question was a sharp kick from the girl, and the front body leaned down sharply to avoid the threat of kunai, and the kick directly from the back was very tricky, easily forcing Tenma's action back.
"Humph!!"
With a cold snort, the knight girl who forced the Pegasus to retreat with a kick was about to turn around and slash the sharp short sword in her hand, but her body suddenly stiffened, and she couldn't move at all!
The big green eyes of the lake looked in the direction where the cold snort came in disbelief, a young man wearing a black tights, covered with light steel wire armor painted black, and a black trench coat up to the ankle, with a strange Indian pattern in his hand, was looking at her coldly.
"A-rank secret arts? Immobilization! Success! ”
The knight girl, who rarely seemed to fight with ninjas, didn't know what kind of strength the boy was showing, and tried to urge her body but still couldn't move at all.
It wasn't until the pain of the wound bursting with the wrong force came to mind because her body was suddenly frozen to attack, that the girl stopped her futile behavior, and only looked at Tenma with her big lake-green eyes
