As soon as the hour arrived, the gongs and drums in the courtyard were shouting and shouting, and Zhining, who had not slept for a long time, hurried to the back mountain with dozens of people in the house.

In less than half a stick of incense, the teenagers had already assembled in the playground and lined up. Zhi Ning's body was erect, and he quietly turned his head to look for this titular younger brother in the crowd, although Shen Shiyi had developed a lot, but with his height, it was not very conspicuous among the crowd of the same age. After the careful care of the ship, Zhi Ning has acquiesced in this still somewhat strange brother in his heart, and the first thing he does every day these days is to see if this brother is okay.

Suddenly, a puff of smoke suddenly appeared in the flat ground, and the old man, who had been the envy of the young people for a long time, appeared in front of everyone, and the old man once again glanced at everyone with that contemptuous gaze and said: "This half-moon practice will start tomorrow, cut one bamboo pole on the first day, and two on the next day, and so on, and whoever fails to finish cutting before the sun rises, will cancel breakfast, and if it is not cut for three consecutive days, all breakfast and dinner will be stopped, and then the people in the same room will be punished to boil the foot washing water until they can be cut." You must remember that early work is the foundation of the work, you are still young, the body bones have not been completely shaped, this is the key time to practice martial arts, if you don't want to be bullied like a sheep, you must not be lazy during this period. ”

The ninja in blue clothes and gray pants walked in front of him to lead the way, and when he didn't walk long, a piece of green appeared in front of people's eyes, and everyone had not seen these scenery since they arrived on the island for a few days, and this green made the young people temporarily put aside the tense atmosphere for many days, and whispered: "What kind of martial arts practice is this, no matter how simple it is farm work." A teenager snickered.

The rest of the people also wanted to finish their work early and go back to breakfast, and the teenagers scrambled forward to get tools. After staying on the island for some time, Eleven got along well with the boy in the same room, and went to get tools. Zhi Ning followed closely behind a group of young girls who were still young, and followed closely behind the teenagers who were running ahead.

Even among the girls, Zhining is also inconspicuous.

Thinking of what he was thinking about a few days ago, Zhi Ning at this moment seemed to be a lot more cautious than other girls, following the footsteps of everyone, Zhi Ning thought as he walked forward: It shouldn't be as simple as just cutting bamboo, this group of black-clothed people of unknown origin who look like ronins should have inquired about their origins before they were captured on the island, and most of them picked out some teenagers who no one cares about on weekdays. If the children of the eunuchs had been kidnapped, their families would have been arrested by the officials a long time ago, but judging by the cautious appearance of these people at the ferry that day, they should not have done such a risky thing. But it is these teenagers who no one cares about, who are slaves and beggars, and it is most common to do these rough jobs on weekdays. These people wouldn't have thought of this, but in the memory of this body in the sin slave workshop, they had cut a lot of firewood, and this bamboo should be easier to cut down if it was so thin...... When he lowered his head and followed the thoughts, he heard the surprises of everyone who had obtained the tools in front of him, and Zhi Ning looked up.

I saw that the young man who took the bamboo cutting tool in front of him frowned, and each of them was holding a diamond-shaped dagger-shaped tool with a length of 5 inches, but he didn't know what the tool was, and he was worried for a while.

Zhi Ning stood in the distance and didn't see the tool, so he hurriedly hugged his hands on his chest and squeezed a few steps into the crowd standing in front of him, only to see the young man in front of him waving the tool to make a chopping shape, and the moment he saw the tool, Zhi Ning's eyes widened, and he was a little surprised.

But the name of this thing immediately came to mind: kunai.

It turned out to be kunai, I originally thought that these people were just some remnants of the rebels on the sea, but I didn't expect that these men in black were actually some ninja ronin, no wonder the katana I saw a few days ago was so familiar. Thinking of the name of the ninja, an inexplicable chill surged into Zhining's heart for a while, and she looked around uneasily, but the teenagers around her had already been attracted by this novel tool, and most of their eyes were turned to the front. There are just a few people who are thinking about how to use the tools.

There is only one person.

The moment Zhi Ning looked around and retracted her gaze, she seemed to see a hint of sarcasm on the face of a young man not far away, and a sneer on the corner of his mouth. Zhi Ning was stunned for a moment, and when he looked at it again, the man had returned to normal, and like everyone else, he looked ahead with curiosity.

It didn't take long for the people who came up later to receive this strange tool in their eyes, and those who had already thought of countermeasures ran forward, and as more and more people drove them, the dazed ones in their chests also walked towards the bamboo forest with the big flow.

…………………………………………………………………

Inside the house.

"I'm so tired, I didn't expect this dagger-like thing to be so blunt, more blunt than the firewood knife that my family hasn't sharpened for many years, it took a lot of effort to chop and chop, but I couldn't help those broken bamboos, and now I don't even have breakfast." In Zhining's house, a young girl pouted. Obviously, the early work did not go well.

"Yes, yes, I have to practice again at this moment, and I'm not tired to death at this time, but I'm starving to death first, what the hell." Another girl said.

No one in the room seemed to have finished their morning work, the girls laughed at each other, and for a while the house chattered and laughed, and then only heard the consul outside shouting: "Who is Shen Sansan, come out to receive things." ”

The middle girl who was just laughing in the house, heard the strange voice Qi Qi looked at Zhining, and Zhining, who was listening to the girl's discussion, was stunned when she heard the voice of the consul outside the house, and hurriedly went to put on the boots that had just been taken off on the edge of the big shop, and was getting up to open the door to go out, and the steward was impatiently pushing the door in.

The pock-faced steward entered the room and glanced around at the girls with cold eyes, and said coldly: "Among the thirteen of you, Shen Sansan has completed her morning work, this is her breakfast, and the rest of you will watch her eat, and teach her a long lesson, a group of useless things have a lot of food left, no wonder you stay in the sin slave workshop, it is really a waste, and it is a waste of food to eat, the old hall master is kind enough to give you three days, and tell you not to eat tomorrow if you can't finish it." After saying that, he turned his head, glanced at Zhining heavily, threw two steamed buns to Zhining's position, turned around and walked out.

Just listened to the steward, and none of the thirteen people in the room had completed the morning work except for himself, and Zhi Ning was happy in his heart. When she heard the steward scolding and said that she wanted the girls to watch her eat, she secretly said that it was not good in her heart, and when she turned her head, Zhining found that everyone's eyes on her had indeed changed.

Although everyone doesn't talk much on weekdays, they always live for a few days and get along quite well. Today, I am catching up with this mouthy pock-faced manager......

Zhining hurriedly broke the steamed buns and distributed them to everyone, but no one reached out to pick them up, even the second daughter, who had been shouting hungry just now, did not stretch out her hand. These strangers who had just become acquainted greeted her with different expressions of surprise, jealousy, envy, and indifference.

A bad premonition surfaced in my heart.

In a hurry, she gestured to Ning Lian to explain to the jealous girl, and then she reached out again to share the food with everyone.

The girls still looked at her directly. These eyes looked at Zhi Ning a little hairy.

Zhi Ning suddenly realized that he was wrong. I still underestimated the temperament of these girls. The night before going to bed, I heard these girls gossiping and talking. Most of them are the family members of the convicts from the criminal slave workshop, which makes Zhining have some sense of belonging to the same disease. But she forgot that when she was in the sin slave workshop, although these people were all sin slaves, some of the slaves and maids who had relatives in the court were higher than her, and they couldn't do the tiring work of carrying water and chopping firewood and washing clothes on weekdays, at most they collected their clothes and embroidered them for the nobles in the palace. Sometimes I met some such once squeamish ladies in the workshop, and they were "subordinates" who had to be courteous, otherwise they would be beaten. Recently, I thought that we were getting along well, but it turned out that this was all on the surface. I thought that these eldest ladies would restrain some of their tempers in this strange place. Seemingly...... alas

Zhi Ning was stunned, and the atmosphere in the room became deadlocked.

It was the delicate girl who had just shouted that she was hungry, and she couldn't hold it anymore, so she took the lead and hurriedly stuffed a small piece into her mouth. One after another, a few people from Zhining's big shop also took two pieces, so they smiled at Zhining reluctantly. However, the girls who had just spoken did not move. Zhi Ning, who stretched out his hand here, was extremely embarrassed. It's not a hand that comes back, and it's not a hand that doesn't reach out. Fortunately, the girl who ate Zhining's food played a round game: "Hehe, sisters, the third and third sisters will give you some cushions to eat, otherwise you will be tired to death when you practice for a while." ”

But in response to her was a sneer: "Heh, there is no need for her to pretend to be a good person, the consul let us watch her eat, and she is the only person in the house who has done it, so it's amazing." ”

"It's just that a broken steamed bun seems to have never been eaten." The other girl said.

"Everyone lives in the same house, give each other a step." The delicate girl said again.

"Don't you say that I forgot that I lived in a house, then you ask her to tell us how to cut the bamboo, otherwise she cut the bamboo to show off, and then give us steamed buns, the good people in this house are also deserved, and the credit is also outside, I can't afford this big gift."

This sentence seemed to speak the hearts of all the women present, and for a while, all the women, including those who were eating, looked back at Zhining again. These jealous eyes were the same as those that had just looked at her, and they didn't remember what Zhining had just given them food.

Zhi Ning was about to stretch out his hand and gesture again, when the gongs and drums outside sounded again. Several proud girls glanced at Zhi Ning hatefully, and the girls who had not eaten seemed to have suddenly formed an alliance, and walked out side by side with the same enemy.

The people in the house slowly emptied, leaving only Zhi Ning and the delicate girl, but as if they had done something wrong, they slowly followed behind everyone and slowly moved their steps out.
