......Seeing that the big sister's emotions were calmed down, Nagato thought of his dear Dachai again, "Big sister! Little Dots and Little Bunny are still at home! ”

"Oh my God!" Shen Qi was shocked, she said why didn't she wake up and saw the two little pets, "Then you have to go and find them, we don't have a good place in our house!" ”

"Vientiane Tianyin!" In Shen Qi's chattering efforts, Nagato has already begun to work hard to move bricks.

"I'll do it too!" Xiao Nan also ran over.

Yahiko didn't shout out unexpectedly, pursed her lips and buried her head in searching.

Shen Qi: ......

Kids, you move so fast, it seems like I'm so unloving.

However, she is also worried about the safety of the dog, because in the original comic plot, Xiao Budian was killed during a ninja raid. It was also for this reason that the three little ones sadly left the war-torn town to wander, and met the three ninjas who were not yet twenty years old.

I just don't know if it's this time.

"Let it go, let it go. You guys go out of the way, don't affect my play. Shen Qi strode forward, throwing a large wooden board in one hand, one by one like throwing a foam shell, into the street.

The three little ones were forced to stay away, and watched Shen Zhen Hercules Qi deal with the enclosure where the small bungalow was located without pressure as if he were playing.

There are no little dots, and no bunnies.

"They must be in the basement!" The three little ones excitedly moved the small secret door in the original kitchen position, "It's not small!" Bunny! Are you there? ”

"Woohoo! Woof! As soon as the door was opened, the little one rushed towards Nagato like a cannonball.

"It's small! You're all right! That's great! Nagato was knocked to the ground, holding the lost little little little bit and crying with joy.

"Woohoo!" Little Bun licked Nagato's face frantically.

"I'm worried about you too!" Nagato held its head in comfort.

"Tsk!" The little rabbit followed closely behind and rushed towards Shen Qi.

Then I heard a "snap", and the little rabbit was slapped back the way it came.

"Huh?"

When the little rabbit was stunned, Shen Qi's voice came from above: "Dusty, dirty, and jumping on me?" ”

The disgusted little rabbit has tears in his eyes: So love will disappear, right?

Konan and Yahiko, who were watching from the sidelines, smiled with relief.

It's nice that my closest family members are fine.

After checking the little dot and the little rabbit, Yahiko pulled everyone to continue to rescue the other townspeople who were killed.

Household after household, Shen Qi was responsible for moving the broken house, and the three small ones were only responsible for surveying and fishing people. Familiar faces were lifted out from under the rubble, some could still be saved, and some were long gone.

Too late......

The four of them became more and more depressed, and this depression reached its peak when they fished out an old mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law wore a familiar gray coat and black cloth shoes, and her clothes were no longer so new, nor were they clean and tidy.

"Mother-in-law Koda......" Xiao Nan covered his mouth, incredulous. She never thought that Grandma, who had only told them Archie's story some time ago, would leave like this.

"Mother-in-law......" Yahiko trembled and knelt on the ground, a small balloon of water trembling in her hands, "Mother-in-law, I'...... I'll wash your face. ”

The water balloon was changed over and over again, and the sewage, blood, and water were changed over and over again. Granny Koda's always loving face slowly became clearer. She was so serene, except for the wrinkles on her face, lined with a few inconspicuous corpse spots, which seemed to be a little deeper than usual.

Nagato lowered his head and silently sorted out Grandma Koda's clothes, his lips trembling slightly.

"Huh, ......," Xiao Budian gently arched Grandma Koda's hand. This taste is different from usual.

The little rabbit crouched quietly beside him, and there was a hint of sadness in his bean-sized black eyes.

Shen Qi looked at the body of Grandma Koda, and the anger in her eyes became deeper and deeper: "I really shouldn't have let them go." ”

After a moment of silence, they left the place for a while. There are many more people behind them who need their help, and those who may still have their last breath and will not give up until the last minute.

……

The rain is still falling, and the town is still the same town, but it is no longer the town everyone is familiar with.

The walls are ruined, and the white cloth is in the sky.

Mrs. Inoue's house is fine, Boss Tanaka is fine, and among the familiar people, only Granny Koda and Kawada are gone.

It is said that at the time of the incident, Kawada was recuperating from his injuries at the shrine, and he was unable to move and was directly crushed to death by the broken beam.

Sanxiao's heart was very complicated when he heard the news.

Now the townspeople are cleaning up their dilapidated homes, and Shen Qi and the three little ones came to the grave of Grandma Koda with sacrifices.

Flowers, sake, kunai, steamed buns.

"Granny Koda, we've come to see you." Xiao Nan stepped forward dressed in black and gently put down the flowers in his hand, "You always say that people are born, old, sick and die, and you always say that you want to go to see Archie as soon as possible, and you are worried that he will not be able to eat love buns in another world." But why are you so cruel? The people who have bought your buns, and there is not only Archie, but there is no Archie, and there is a second and third Archie, why are you willing to leave suddenly without saying a word? ”

"That's right, you left so suddenly, we didn't even have time to say goodbye to you......" Yahiko stepped forward and put down a glass of wine, and said softly, "Granny Koda, if you can, remember to give us a dream, tell us if you found Archie." If we find it, we can rest assured that Archie is a good ninja and that you will be well taken care of in the other world. ”

"Granny Koda, I'm Nagato. Actually, we lied to you. We don't like to eat the devil buns you make, they taste so weird. The person who likes to eat steamed buns is a big sister, but you may not remember it, so we haven't explained...... You've been bitter enough in your life, go over there, don't sell devil buns anymore, we'll burn money for you, you enjoy more happiness, spend as much as you want, don't save it. ”

Nagato placed the dagger he had found in the past few days in front of the grave. This should be the Archie's favorite weapon that Granny Koda said.

"With this dagger. You'll find Archie! Nagato mourned for a while, took a few steps back, and left his place to Shen Qi.

"This bun is made for you by Xiaolan, pork filling, mother-in-law will take it to eat on the road, and it will ......be full" Shen Qi stacked the buns neatly one by one, and was a little speechless for a while.

She knew that her mother-in-law's physical condition this year was much worse than last year, and she also knew that her mother-in-law had little time left, but she didn't expect her to leave everyone in such a way.

In the same small town, the people who should be helped also helped, the people who should be cared about are also cared about, and the stories that should be heard are also heard, it stands to reason that there should not be too many regrets, why is she still so uncomfortable?

Looking at the monotonous tombstone with only one name written on it, Shen Qi suddenly remembered the grandma who was sitting at the door of the dilapidated store, wearing a navy blue coat full of patches, stepping on a pair of tattered black cloth shoes, and asking her what she was going to do with a smile.

"Little girl, what are you doing here?"

"Little girl, are you hungry? Although your mother-in-law has a bad memory, you have already taken three buns from your mother-in-law. ”

"The little girl likes to eat, so her mother-in-law invited you."

"Are there three buns today?"

As soon as the picture turned, Grandma Koda was already wearing the newly bought gray coat.

"Mother-in-law knows that you didn't order buns today, just to see how you are doing recently."

"There are not many people who love to eat the buns made by my mother-in-law, and everyone is the person that my mother-in-law cherishes the most."

"You take this bun and eat it, no matter how busy and tired you are, don't treat yourself badly."

"I wonder if you'd like to listen to the old woman talk about some boring past?"

"Only a little girl who is just in love will think of the old woman's year-old friendship as a cross-age love, right?"

"As long as someone is willing to eat the old woman's buns, I feel that Archie is still alive." ……

It turned out that before I knew it, Grandma Koda became a very important memory.

Even if they have only seen a handful of faces, even if their relationship is only maintained by three devil buns a day, but Grandma Tian is no longer a dispensable existence, but a loving elder who lives in Shen Qi's memory, is unwilling to accept her alms, cares about whether she is doing well, and worries about whether her buns are enough to eat.

"Auntie, I'm here again." Shen Qi muttered, as if he saw a vague figure rising from the ground, smiled at her and slowly opened his arms, his mouth opened and closed, as if to say, Archie, how many buns do you want to eat today?

"It's still three." The corners of Shen Qi's eyes were slightly wet, "You can go with confidence, then, if I dream of that old man next time, I must remember to ask him to arrange a good reincarnation for you." ”

The three little ones, who were immersed in grief, looked at her strangely: What old man?

Shen Qi didn't care, and continued: "There is also the fat man, he should come to see you tomorrow, it's not that he doesn't want to come, it's just that he can't come." But don't worry, he's fine, just lie down for a few days......"

After a moment of silence, Shen Qi sighed and carefully placed the buns again. Although the bun had been wet from the rain at this time, she still stacked it neatly and tightly.

After doing this, Shen Qi slowly got up, glanced at the monotonous tombstone again, and then took a few steps back.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Budian also put it up with a bouquet of small flowers.

"......Mother-in-law, please go all the way with the blessing of the dog."

Although the buns made by Koda's mother-in-law are not popular with the big Shiba Inu, her mother-in-law is a very gentle person, and she only made small winter clothes for Xiao Budian some time ago.

It's a pity that it's always too hot, and I want to keep it for my mother-in-law in winter.

Seeing that the good brother also went through the motions, the little rabbit who was not prepared hesitated for a moment, jumped to the side of Xiao Budian, scratched his buttocks, and pulled out a ball of snow-white rabbit fur.

"Tsk." Rabbit fur is given to you, you just have to wear it on your chest, and the world over there will be better.

The four of them mourned again, and slowly left in the rain.
