Chapter 21: Two Roads

(I was called to dinner by a colleague in the morning, and I took a nap in the afternoon, which is a change of today's guarantee, and there will be a while.) ）

"Mr. Dazner, if you are the only one to build the bridge, I don't know when the bridge will be completed!" With a lit cigarette in his mouth, Asma took a deep breath and asked the busy old man not far away.

With Asma's strength, it was enough to protect Dazna, and as for Shikamaru, Ino and Dingji, they stayed at Dazna's house to protect Inari and the others under Shikamaru.

It was almost noon at this time, and the sun pierced the mist and shone down, and looking from the bridge into the distance, the sea was glowing white, like a huge mirror, but this scenery was now only seen by Asma and Dazna, for two consecutive days, except for the first day, there were two or three people who helped Dazna work, but when they were warned by Cardo's men, the next day was also gone.

"The bridge of the country of waves ......," Dazna replied loudly when he heard Asma's words, stopped what he was doing, wiped his sweat with the towel on his shoulder, smiled, and did not show the slightest discouragement or disappointment, and tried to look in the direction of the distant house, and replied in a loud voice, "It will be completed soon!" ”

Hearing this, Asma shrugged his shoulders, the unfinished bridge where the two of them were, even if there is a complete construction team, it cannot be completed in one or two months, and the "bridge" that Dazna said is obviously not this one.

As an experienced ninja, how could he not know some of his subordinates' actions, but Asma didn't want to stop them!

…………

Cardo's dwelling, in a secluded wood, was a property he had occupied, and the originally quiet environment had disappeared since Cardo and his large group of outlaws and hooligans moved in.

"Bang!"

Cardo walked around the room with some irritation, and a young maid not far away was trembling and cleaning up the vase that had been smashed by Cardo earlier.

The two wandering samurai with swords at their waists stood lazily beside Cardo, their eyes not sweeping towards the beautiful figure of the young maid, and it could be seen from the subtleties alone that these two had not received formal samurai training at all, and at most they were low-level samurai, or even lower, and in terms of suzhì, they were not much stronger than hooligans.

"Damn ninjas!" As Cardo walked, he cursed in a low voice: "What kind of ghost doesn't kill again, what bullshit forbearance, such a big reputation, but he was still killed!" Wasted so much of my time in vain! "Cardo is also by chance, hired to the peach land and then do not cut, who knows that after the arrival of the other party is very rebellious, and even has a faint covet for this country, but, although at the beginning, Cardo was relieved to die again, but when Dazna returned home, he immediately began to continue to build bridges, but he felt very angry.

Cardo's current rule in the Land of Waves is not legitimate, so he can only use tyrannical oppression to deter the people of the Land of Waves, so that they do not dare to resist, and now Dazna's actions are useless, but they represent rebellion and contempt for Cardo, which may be the seeds of future resistance to his rule, and in any case, must be cleared like the original Kaisha!

"You get out!" After thinking for a moment, Cardo shouted at the maid, who had been found locally in the country of waves and could not be trusted.

"Tomorrow! Tomorrow I must lead a group of men to the construction site to find Dazna, otherwise I am afraid that there will be problems, there are many of us, these ninjas should not be worried, if they can't do it, they will buy ......it with money," and when the maid left the room as if she had escaped, Dazna muttered to herself, and after noticing the two wandering warriors standing, his eyes flashed, and after a slight groan, he turned to the two men and ordered: "To be on the safe side, you two will go to Dazna's house alone and take his daughter and grandson as hostages for me!" ”

…………

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Uncle Sanji!" Inari knocked on the door with all his might, shouting loudly in his immature voice, but unfortunately he didn't get a response: "I know you're inside!" ”

The sound insulation of the humble wooden house was mediocre, and Inari had heard the sound of people talking and moving inside, but when he knocked on the door, it was suddenly silenced.

“…… Uncle Sanji! After knocking on the door a few more times, seeing that there was still no one in the house responding, Inari slowly lowered his hand and ran to the window, his short body couldn't reach inside, but he was sure that there was someone in it, so he shouted loudly: "Are you just watching Soichiro get sick like this!" My dad dared to rebel against Cardo for the sake of me, for the sake of everyone who won't live this kind of life in the future, can you bear to let Soichiro live like this in the future!? ”

In the room, a faint smell of medicine filled the air, and on the bed in the inner room, there was a sleeping thin boy, covered with a thick quilt, with an unhealthy flush on his face, obviously sick, and the boy's parents were sitting on the edge of the bed at this time, looking depressed.

Supplies, including food, are becoming more and more difficult under Cardo's control, and many of his fishing boats have been looted because of Cardo's attempts to block the sea routes, making it difficult for fishermen to even catch for food, not to mention living in an island country, where boats are used in many ways.

The boy of this family, Soichiro, was hungry, and went into the water without permission to try to catch fish to eat, but he drowned, although he was rescued and did not lose his life, but he also began to get sick, there was no income, and now he doesn't even have much medicine, Soichiro's illness can only be boiled.

Inari's questioning voice came softly into the ears of a middle-aged man in the room, many years of life at sea made him look older than his actual age, the deep wrinkles on his face seemed to be the traces left by the years, the tall body and slightly wide clothes showed that this person's previous body shape must be stronger than now, but the long-term hunger and sorrow made this middle-aged man have lost his shape, and when he heard the shout, he couldn't help clenching his fists tightly.

The woman on the side also had a dish-faced face, looking at her husband worriedly, and involuntarily reached out and grabbed the other party's fist.

The middle-aged man who clenched his teeth and clenched his fists with both hands was startled, came back to his senses, and looked at his wife, the people at sea, begging for life day and night under the sea breeze, even if he was born beautiful, it was difficult to maintain it for a long time, his wife was not young, and he was hungry for a long time, at this time he was naturally old and decrepit, but the man looked at the care and worry in his wife's eyes, and his heart trembled, but he made up his mind, his eyes became firm, and he suddenly stood up.

"Sanji!?" The woman looked at her husband in disbelief and whispered, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Noriko!" Sanji gasped for breath, looked at his son and wife lying on the bed, and said in annoyance: "We can't go on like this, Soichiro needs to take medicine, and we need to take it too." ”

As he spoke, Sanji, who had made up his mind, ignored his wife's whispered admonition, walked to a large wooden box in the outhouse, turned out all the miscellaneous items piled up inside, opened the dark compartment at the bottom, and took out a package made of kraft paper.

If it's a strong crossbow, even if it's against an ordinary ninja, if it's caught off guard, it can also cause damage, and if there is a certain number, it can also kill a ninja - of course, if a ninja is prepared, it's not easy, after all, the ninja is stronger than a samurai in that it has mastered ninjutsu and illusion - this hand crossbow is enough to deal with ordinary people, but the sea air is humid, and this crossbow may not be used a few times.

"This thing was secretly made by Kaisha and me." Sanji inspected the crossbow and crossbow arrows with affection, and whispered, and found that the preservation was not bad, and after using it, he couldn't help but change his face and look fierce: "I'm sorry Kaisha, he and Inari are right, if you don't want to die, and you don't want Soichiro to live like this in the future, you can't bear Kado's rule." ”

"I'm not a good husband, Noriko." Sanji looked back at his thin wife guiltily, and then looked at his son who was lying in a coma on the bed, and said in a hoarse voice, "But I want to be a good father." ”

…………

In the evening, when Dazna returned home from work, he was shocked to find that there were many men gathered in the house! If you look closely, you can see that they are all fishermen from the neighborhood.

"Uncle Dazna!" Seeing Dazna come back, a fisherman who saw it found out and said loudly, and the other fishermen also got up and greeted Dazna, whether it was as an elder or the fact that the Dazna family had always insisted on resisting Kado, it was enough to make the people of the country of waves feel respectful from the bottom of their hearts.

"You guys are ......." Dazna's heart moved, thinking of something, but he didn't dare to confirm it, so he asked with a puzzled face.

"Grandpa!" A short figure threw himself into Dazna's arms, raising a big smile and a small blushing face, obviously excited that he could also participate in the action: "Everyone gathered together to discuss the rebellion against Cardo!" ”

"That's right." Dazna muttered to himself, looking at the fishermen sitting or standing at home, the corners of his eyes were a little moist, not because he was moved, but because of Kaisha's worthlessness.

Kesha foresaw the current situation when Cardo arrived, and persuaded everyone to unite to resist Cardo, but the result was unsuccessful.

"Asma-sensei!" Shikamaru, Ino and Dingji, who had been on the periphery of the crowd, saw Ape Fei Asma, who had come back with Dazna, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"I can't imagine that the people of the Land of Waves have lived so hard since Cardo came!" After Ino and Asma greeted each other, they said sympathetically, just when these fishermen arrived, they couldn't help but start to tell all kinds of evil deeds of Kado with righteous indignation, these Ino, Dingji and Shikamaru naturally heard it, although the three of them lived in the country of waves for a few days, and they already had an understanding of the poverty of this country, but it was better to listen to the truth of the grievances of the parties concerned.
