Chapter 31: The Rain

Unexpected voice, the woman and China were stunned for a moment!

The man who spoke looked like he was in his thirties, and the counter of the grocery store blocked his lower body. The upper body is a black robe, the Uchiha's rare flat head, the old gray turban covers the whiteness of the temples well, and the small belly of the fat makes the whole person look a little bloated, giving people a sense of idleness and comfort. Probably because of the perennial wind and rain, even the skin on the face is very rough, and there is a scar on the left side of the face.

This made Qianna have to have a little good feeling, she used to have such scars.

The owner of this grocery store, at this moment, leaned out with his hands on the counter, squinted his cloudy eyes, and tried to see China's appearance clearly, and his gaze fell on the woman again, obviously a little more scrutiny and vigilance!

"This ......"

"Hey, does Uncle know my dad?"

The woman just wanted to speak, but was cut off by Qianna, and the woman had no intention of letting go, so she could only accommodate Qianna and walk towards the shopkeeper!

"Of course! I grew up watching that stinky boy, and I remember the way he played with mud in his open crotch pants! ”

The store manager's indifferent face is full of the black history of the explosion, which fully conveys the meaning of "the rock is a crumb"!

"How do I know if what you're saying is true, uncle? How do you prove that you're my dad's friend? What if it's the bad guys? ”

As soon as the store manager's words fell, China asked questions like a cannon, without giving the woman a chance to interject!

"Iwa has a younger sister named Suzu, his wife is called Uchiha Aki, and the daughter of the two lives is called China, it's you, and a tree is planted in your yard!"

"If that's not proof, Iwa will always bring you candy to eat, and all that sugar is from me!" The middle-aged store manager pointed to the candy placed on the counter, "I bought it at the grocery store of Uchiha-sama Yoshiha!" ”

The store manager, named Jiba, seemed to enjoy the process of playing with children, and he finished this sentence in a very fast voice, following the example of China.

"How?" The store manager Jibo smiled, "Do you believe it?" Xiao Qianna, you can call me Jiba, the manager, always call me uncle, I feel old! ”

"But you still look suspicious!" China pouted.

The store manager laughed, it is a good thing for children to be wary of strangers! He picked up a candy from the counter.

"Then do you taste the same as you normally eat?"

The woman never left because she couldn't do anything, and at this time she finally seized the opportunity to speak.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Gibo, this is too ......"

When the woman spoke, she suddenly found that her hands were empty!

China took advantage of the woman's attention to be attracted by the store manager Jiba, and gently broke away from the woman's hand. Took the candy from the store manager's hand.

"It really tastes the same!"

"China, this is really rude! Mr. Jibo, I'll give you money! ”

The woman gestured to take the money, but the store manager Jibo waved his hand.

"I gave this candy to China, but," the store manager Jiba looked at the woman, his eyes suddenly sharpened, "Who are you?" ”

The woman smiled apologetically, but she couldn't help but curse secretly in her heart, it was almost there!

In a few days, she sorted out all the interpersonal relationships of a person in the past 20 years, and she couldn't do this kind of thing, but she met an acquaintance of Uchiha Iwa in this kind of place!

And this little girl! But he was very clever, and he was actually deceived! The degree of vigilance against the two people before and after is completely different! Now that she was sure that this person named Jibo was her lifeline, she pounced! Didn't let yourself get the right to speak from beginning to end!

Damn it!

However, the woman had to continue to pretend, "I ......"

"Auntie said that Yan is his savior, and she has always wanted to repay her, and she has been asking about Yan for a long time! I came out to buy soy sauce and got lost, and my aunt said she could take me to buy soy sauce! ”

China interrupted the woman again.

The woman's smile was visibly stiff to the naked eye.

The little girl is about to tear her face!

Store manager Jibo frowned slightly, "What life-saving benefactor?" How did I never know? ”

"Actually, it happened a few days ago, maybe because of the patrol's secrecy work, so Mr. Yan didn't tell you."

The woman was telling the truth, at least the accepted truth, but in a low voice, with a hint of pleading.

"Oh, it turned out to be a spy, and I only found out the details this morning," Mr. Jibo realized, "It turns out that the mother and son who were kidnapped are you, but why are you a woman taking her child to such a remote place in the middle of the night?" ”

After learning that the other party had been kidnapped, the store manager Jibo did not say anything to comfort him, but asked like this, obviously, in the store manager's heart, the woman gave him a very bad impression! He vaguely felt that this was a trafficker who was trying to kidnap Xiao Qianna!

"My husband is a craftsman, and he was requisitioned to build a guard post the other day, and that was supposed to be the day he returned, so I took my child there to pick him up, thinking that he would be glad to see me and my child as soon as he returned! As a result, I waited for most of the day and didn't see him come back, and in the end, I encountered something like that! ”

The woman burst into tears as she spoke, and the children in her arms began to cry, "If my son has three longs and two shorts, I really don't know how to face him!" ”

This cry attracted many onlookers and customers.

The store manager Jibo frowned slightly, this reason is not very tenable, but the number of onlookers began to gradually increase, and the store manager did not want to make a big deal about it.

"Okay, don't cry, you're a poor person when something like that happens, take the child home quickly!"

The store manager sent the woman away in a few words, and the woman conveyed her gratitude to Jean Qianna Xiangyan before leaving, pretending to be like an ordinary woman, and she couldn't see a trace of unwillingness!

The onlookers saw that there was no excitement, so they dispersed.

When the woman attracted the crowd to gather around in order to get out, China knew that she was safe and breathed a sigh of relief early.

Store manager Yoshiba turned his face to China, and suddenly became kind.

"China-chana is so smart!"

The store manager did not hesitate to praise, from the first sentence of China, he knew that women were not good people.

"Hee-hee! Thank you so much, Mr. Jiba! ”

Qianna also felt that this was an unexpected joy, the rock sugar gourd that Iwa bought for Suzu and China a few days ago was bought from the store manager Jiba, and Qianna knew that Iwa and the store manager Jiba knew each other, but I didn't expect the two to have a deep friendship.

So when China's first sentence asked the store manager Jiba if he knew Iwa, the store manager knew that there was a problem!

"But don't run out alone next time, I'm glad you met me today! Next time you meet that woman, stay away! ”

The store manager Jibo was also afraid for a while, if his daughter was lost, that bastard boy in Iwa would probably go crazy!

"Does the store manager know about that woman?"

"I don't know, probably just married to the Uchiha! Xiao Qianna, you have to be careful in the future, I heard that some damn guys do some unsightly things to abduct children and sell them to mines or custom shops to make money! These people should be killed! ”

The store manager said this with a murderous face.

"Well, what's the custom shop?" Qianna pretended not to know.

The store manager Jibo coughed twice with an embarrassed face, "These things, you are still young, you will know when you grow up!" ”

Seeing that Qianna's face was a little unkind, the store manager Jiba changed the topic again, "Hey, isn't Qianna going to buy soy sauce?" I'll take you there, and then I'll send you home! ”

"Huh? May I? Isn't the store manager still open? ”

"What's the matter," the manager turned to the next door and shouted, "Hey! Degree! Take a look at the store for me! I'll send this little girl home and I'll be back soon! ”

China looked at the shop next door, and there was a weak voice.

"Hey~ Go quickly, don't bother me!"

"Hey!" The manager of Jibo laughed and introduced to China: "The guy who sells furniture next door is called Du!" If Xiao Qianna gets into trouble in the future, I can also look for him if I'm not there. ”

China nodded and said hello to the next door.

"However, if you sell something, don't come to him to buy it! Hey! This guy, although the things are cheap, but the quality is very poor! It broke down in less than a few days. Here! There is another one over there, and the quality of their home is good! ”

Qiannai silently wrote down that Uncle Du is a profiteer!

"Stinky old man! Don't ruin my reputation in front of your guests! My furniture is fine, both in terms of materials and handworkmanship! ”

In the midst of Du's scolding, the manager of Jiba walked out of the counter and said to China, "Let's go!" ”

Only then did China notice that Uncle Yoshiba's right foot made a thumping sound when he walked, and it was clearly a prosthetic leg made of wood!

China withdrew her eyes, pretended not to see it, and followed Jiba.

Jibo walked along, while introducing the market to China, unlike Iwa, the store manager Jibo has been begging for a living in the bazaar for a long time, far more than Iwa knows the market, talking eloquently, talking about which one has characteristics and what experience he has in buying things. For example, to buy vegetables, you have to get up early and pick them overnight, the time is short, and they are not exposed to the sun, so they are fresh! But if you want to buy meat, it's best to take advantage of the evening, because there is less meat, and there are many people who buy it, so it's better to rush early than late, everyone divides the meat at night, and the next morning out of the stall!

"By the way, there's over there!"

China looked in the direction indicated by the store manager Yoshiba, it was a thriving weapon shop, and a woman in her 20s was ping-pong, as if she was testing the quality of the weapon.

"Shizuka is also an old friend of your father!"

"Sort of?" China tilted her head to look at store manager Yoshiba.

The manager of Jibo expressed a little regret, "Yes, this matter is a bit long!" ”

The woman noticed the situation and wiped the sweat from her cheeks.

"Hey! Old man Jibo, where did you kidnap a granddaughter? ”

This woman named Shizuka has a bit of ridicule in her words.

"Hello Sister Shizuka! I'm China, not the granddaughter of the manager of the Yoshiha store, and my father is Uchiha Iwa, which you should know! ”

"Cut, that guy from Iwa, did you actually introduce me to my daughter like this?" Shizuka muttered, waving her hand irritably, "What should I do, why do I go!" Don't bother me! ”

"That, this sister doesn't seem to have a good temper~"

The store manager smiled awkwardly, as if he had accidentally created a misunderstanding.

Let's explain it later! Shizuka almost became China's mother such a thing!

Alas, a headache!

After a while, Jiba came to the grain store with China. On the flag was written a few large characters from the Uchiha Grain Store.

"This is it!"

"Awesome! It's huge! ”

China couldn't help but exclaim, not counting the second floor, this shop is more than four times the size of Jiba's store manager's shop!

A tall and sturdy man easily picked up a sack the size of two people from the car, glanced coldly at Yoshiba and China, and walked straight into the store.

Manager Jiba smiled, "This Uchiha grain store mainly sells grain, and of course it also involves things like oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, sugar, etc.!" That indifferent guy just now is the manager of this store, and his name is Mushimasa! Although he looks like he is not close to people and does not talk much, the quality of the things in the store is really good, and the price is not expensive! It's just that there is a bad problem, as soon as others bargain with him, he will not sell it immediately! ”

"Hey, isn't that very unpleasant?"

"Well~ He's really a guy who doesn't like him," Store Manager Jibo shrugged, "But this guy is very powerful, and he's actually the only one in the store who is taking care of him!" But I've never heard of anything lost in the store! ”

"Does losing something mean stealing?" China said curiously.

"Qianna is so smart, you can't take other people's things in the future! Stealing is not a good boy! ”

China: ......

Actually, I still want to go back and take all the "treasures" in the rock box.

"What to buy."

The manager of the village came to the two of them at some point, and his tone was so cold that he couldn't hear that it was a question sentence.

Because Qiannai didn't have enough money, in the end, the store manager Jiba paid part of it in advance.

Although China has repeatedly stated that getting lost is just a lie to that woman,

Jibo, who has inconvenient legs and feet, still sends China home on the grounds that it is not safe for children to go home alone.

Along the way, China looked up at the sky, and she didn't know what she was thinking, but Ji Bo was a child with a big heart and smiled, so he didn't care.

And Qianna was actually thinking about the manager of the village.

Muramasa should be the sentinel arranged by the Uchiha in the bazaar. This judgment has nothing to do with the performance of Uchiha Muramasa's various unusual people. How did the Uchiha ensure that when the Uchiha experienced a famine, the merchants with a lot of grain in their hands would not sit on the ground and raise prices against the Uchiha?

The answer is to become the largest grain seller in the Uchiha!

In normal times, the surplus grain in people's hands is bought at the normal market price, and when there is a famine, the accumulated grain is sold at the same price.

Soon I got home.

"Mr. Jibo, I'm really sorry! Got you in trouble! As soon as I wasn't paying attention, I let China slip out......"

Suzu, as the little master, is apologizing to the manager of Jibo with a bitter face.

"Haha, it's okay, in fact, I had a lot of fun with China along the way!"

As he spoke, the store manager Jibo bent down again and whispered: "I'll hide that incident for you for the time being, be careful in the future!" ”

The manager of the Yoshiba store refers to the fact that China met that woman.

"Uh-huh, thank you, Mr. Jibo!"

"So be it! I'm going back, the store has been letting the bastard look at it and I don't know what to lose! If it's money, I'll ask him for it! I'm the manager of Jibo, but I won't trade at a loss! ”

Suzu: "Huh? That...... We look forward to seeing you next time! China also said goodbye to Mr. Yoshiba! ”

"Hmmm! Goodbye to Jibo store manager! By the way," China said suddenly, "It's going to rain later, so be careful of slippery roads when you go back!" ”

"Huh?" Mr. Jibo looked at the still clear sky, "It's raining?" ”

"This ......," Qianna simply threw the pot out, "It's Dad who said it will rain today!" ”

"Well! Iwana does make some weird stuff," Jibo touched his chin, "Hey, I see, I'll be careful!" Goodbye, two little girls! ”

Despite getting back a bottle of soy sauce, Suzu preaches China's sneaking out with a straight face.

In this case, when Sister Qiu reprimanded Qianna again at night, she could use this as an excuse to beg for Qianna's mercy.

China listened absentmindedly.

The branches hanging high, the clothes stretched out, and the lanterns drying were gently swaying.

It's really nice to have such a peaceful day......

But only China herself knows how much trouble awaits this family!

The woman, and the "child" in her arms!?

In the preachy sound of the bell, a wisp of rain fell quietly.

Attached to the chill that has nowhere to vent, it slid through China's hair.
