"Look, there's a village ahead!" Zhao Qian pointed ahead and said.

Everyone looked, and sure enough. On the plain ahead is a small village, with houses scattered and staggered, and smoke rising from the smoke flowing into this world.

"Great, let's get over there, I haven't eaten all day!" Zhang Xiaolei rubbed his stomach.

The four of them didn't eat at all along the way. After the wolves were wiped out, Wang Gao originally proposed to bring a little wolf meat as a reserve grain, but Chen Ming refused. The reason is, "You can't eat wild game!" ”

In fact, Chen Ming told the three about the wooden plaque. Regarding the fact that the wolves were attracted by Wang Chuan, everyone also reached an agreement. After all, they haven't seen this kind of wolf who will fight until the last moment, it's too hot-blooded, okay?

Coupled with Wang Chuan's performance before and after, everyone estimated that Wang Chuan probably used some means. Maybe it's a skill, maybe it's a drug that makes the wolves go crazy, and it's also called "class". Since they are all so mad, it is not surprising that they poison the meat.

Even, after this incident, everyone did not dare to eat anything in this jungle. Mentally tense and not daring to relax at all, fortunately, there were no accidents after that.

Now that they have discovered the village, everyone is very happy. It's said that it's the world of Naruto, not to mention ninjas, I haven't seen a single figure. The whole day is spent in the wilderness in the woods. This made Chen Ming and Zhang Xiaolei, who were familiar with the plot, very aggrieved.

"If there are people, it will be easy to do. Let's go to the village first and see if we can spend the night. If we can find out the seat of a certain ninja village, we have to consider whether to intervene in the plot. Chen Ming said to everyone.

……

Knock knock~

The door didn't open, and it took a few more tries before Chen Ming and the others walked to the next house.

Knock knock~

Still not open.

Knock knock~

This time, not long after Wang Gao knocked on the door, the door was slowly opened. But it was only a crack, and I could barely see half of the human face in the light of the fire in the room. The man asked in a deep voice in the room, "Is there something wrong?" The tone was cold, but there was a hint of timidity between the lines.

Wang Gao didn't expect such a scene, and said carefully: "We are travelers from afar, we got lost in the woods, and finally found the village, hoping to spend the night." ”

When the man heard this, the vigilance on his face did not diminish in the slightest. His face changed several times, and finally he said coldly: "I'm sorry, I have no place at home, you can go elsewhere." As he spoke, he stopped making a sound and hurriedly closed the door.

Chen Ming and the others tried several households one after another, but they were all closed. This made Zhang Xiaolei very annoyed: "Damn, this group of people is sick!" If we continue like this, I'm going to starve to death! ”

"It's strange, why are these villagers so cautious, do we look like bad guys? No, although the clothes are different from theirs, they shouldn't be treated with this attitude. There must be some reason we don't know. Chen Mingmo rubbed his chin and analyzed.

"I don't know what the reason is, I just know that I'm about to starve to death," Zhao Qian said, clutching her stomach.

"Guys, are you travelers from afar?" Just when everyone was puzzled, a slightly old voice came.

When everyone looked around, they saw an old man standing in front of the door, shouting to everyone. Chen Ming was overjoyed in his heart, someone finally accosted him, and he wanted to come forward to talk. Seeing Chen Ming coming, the old man hurriedly took a step back, and was about to enter the door again.

Chen Ming hurriedly stopped, and said anxiously to the old man: "Old man, don't be nervous, we have no malicious intentions. ”

The old man did not enter the room again, but stood by the door, watching the men warily.

"Don't get excited, old man. We are travelers from afar, lost in this woods. After walking all day, I hope to have a meal in the village" Chen Ming saw that the old man stopped at the door, and hurriedly explained his intention.

When the old man heard this, he was also a little hesitant. After thinking about it, he stood up from the door and shouted to a few people, "What are you doing in the woods?" ”

When several people heard it, they all secretly screamed that it was not good. This problem involves their knowledge blind spots. It seems that there is only one gamble. Chen Ming clenched his fists and said to the old man, "Oh, we wanted to go to the ninja village of this country, but we were attacked by wolves in the forest. In the end, I couldn't find the way. ”

When the old man heard this, he also asked, "You want to go to Konoha Village?" What country are you from? ”

When Chen Ming heard this, he was overjoyed. It turned out to be the land of fire, and that's easy to do. Konoha is also a forest, and I think it is the famous Konoha Forest. This forest is south of the Fire Country, so what countries are nearby? Chen Ming thought for a while.

Then he said to the old man, "The country of water, we are from the country of water." I hope to go to Konoha to do some business. ”

The old man doesn't really know what countries are nearby. It's just that among the merchants who passed in the past, there was indeed a country of water, so they also lowered their guard a little.

"You say it's a business, do you have any evidence? Show me the merchandise. After all, the old man was still a little uneasy.

When Chen Ming heard this, he could only continue to talk nonsense: "Ah, it's such an old man, most of our goods have been lost, and only some healing medicine remains." Our medicine works very quickly, if you don't believe it, you can find someone to try it. Chen Ming took out two petals and said.

Seeing that Chen Ming was serious, the other party also relaxed his vigilance and said to a few people: "Okay, come here." ”

As he spoke, the old man turned sideways, opened the door, and motioned for a few people to enter.

The first thing that catches your eye when you enter the door is the dim candlelight. The doors and windows didn't seem to be strong, and even if they were closed, everyone could feel the cold wind blowing.

The already faint candle flame flickered in the wind, making people worry that it would go out in the next second. The room is clean and the furniture is not messy. But there are only a few items in a house in Nuoda, and the whole house is empty and a little lonely.

The old man's name is Toyono Shoichi, and he is the village chief of Yawei Village. When everyone asked about the situation of the previous villagers, Toyono Shoichi also told the story one by one.

Yawei Village is a village on the outskirts of the Konoha Forest, which is located at the southern end of the Fire Country. On weekdays, there are also some merchants from neighboring countries who cross the forest and come to the land of fire to do business.

The village is located on the route from the Konoha Forest to a small city. In the past, some businessmen would stop in Miwei Village and do some business with the villagers.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long, and the Fire Nation opened up a new path in the forest, which led to several large cities, including Konoha Village and the small city mentioned earlier.

With the new way, the old way is abandoned. Over time, there was less communication between Miwei Village and the outside world.

Originally, this was nothing, but on Fangtou Mountain in front of Miwei Village, there was a group of bandits.

In the old days, these bandits made a living by collecting tolls from passing merchants. Because they are more measured, they don't collect much, so the merchants should pay taxes. After all, it's very expensive to hire a ninja escort in real years.

But when the old road was abandoned and the business travel was gone, this gang of bandits had no income. Naturally, he focused on the villagers of Miwei Village.

Yawei Village also thought about inviting ninjas to suppress bandits. But the suppression of bandits is different from escorting, this is a relatively high-level task, and the villagers don't have that money!

Fortunately, the villagers only have food, and the bandits can't grab anything. In the spirit of sustainable development, the bandits also left a way for the villagers to live. They were left with some food to ensure that they would not starve to death.

In this way, the villagers and the bandits have reached a certain balance.

Until one day, a bandit got drunk and came to the village pretending to be a merchant traveler. A family of villagers kindly took him in.

But at night, the thief's true form was revealed, and he actually fell in love with the villager's daughter!

How could that villager send his daughter into the tiger's mouth and swear to resist. As a result, the next day, the other villagers found only three bodies in the house.

As for the daughter of the villager...... It was a terrible scene!

So, the villagers were furious. The next time the bandits came to harvest the grain, they set up an ambush and caught the bandits off guard.

But the bandits are not idle. After a fight, although both sides suffered casualties, it was the bandits armed with swords who won in the end.

The villagers feared more casualties and had to compromise again. And the bandits are not easy to kill all in order to make a living.

The two entered the equilibrium again, only this time, both sides were on guard against each other. As for the bandit who pretended to be a merchant traveler, he was the second leader in the mountain.

The second boss naturally did not die, but after this time, the bandit leader and the second boss also had a conflict. The bandits are also divided into two factions.

The softers who support the big bosses and the radicals who support the second masters. On weekdays, it is mainly the gentlemen who go down the mountain to collect grain, but there are often cases of radicals going down the mountain to bully the villagers.

Fortunately, the bandits did not go too far, so the two sides are now in a stage where they are at peace.

However, the villagers are running out of food. The already shaky balance was shaken again.

This is also why when Chen Ming and the others knocked on the door before, they were either no one or they were on guard.

Some are not at ease with them, some are, dead!

After listening to Toyono Shoichi's words, Zhang Xiaolei clenched his fists, his whole body trembled, and an uncontrollable anger came from his heart.

Chen Ming looked at his eyes, what kind of eyes were they! Chen Ming thinks that as a rich second generation, he has also seen many people and many things. But, he can't see through these eyes. "Is he really just a kid?" Chen Ming couldn't help but think.

Toyono Shoichi spoke at this time: "Several, you said that you have some wound medicine, is it true? ”

Chen Ming spoke: "Yes, village chief, are any of you injured here?" ”

"That's true, Sukeryo Yamada was injured in the last conflict. Many others have died, and now he is the only one seriously injured. Although the villagers would take care of him on weekdays, we didn't have any medicine. He didn't have much to last. "Shoichi looked very sad.

He fell to his knees, threw his head to the ground, and pleaded, "I'm sorry, we don't have any money to pay you." But I hope you can save Ryo Suke's life! ”

"Old man, you get up" Zhang Xiaolei hurriedly helped the village chief up, and said to Chen Ming: "Brother Chen, let's help him!" ”

Wang Gao and Zhao Qian also agreed.

Seeing this, Chen Ming nodded and said, "Okay, without further ado." Zhengyi Village Chief, take us to Jieliang's house. I don't know if my medicine will work, but it's better to give it a try. ”

Seeing this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up from the ground, and was about to lead the people to heal.
