Chapter 22: Ninjas
The Land of Rain has a unique climate, with almost endless rainfall throughout the year bringing an abundance of fresh water to the country.
In this climate, various vegetation grows luxuriantly due to abundant water, and many large and small inland lakes and water basins have been formed in the Land of Rain.
In this geographical environment, the land area of the Land of Rain can easily be torn apart, and the first choice is to use boat transportation to save time from one place to another.
The river in front of you is about 50 meters wide, this will be a gentle breeze, there are no waves on the river surface, but the drizzle that continues to fall will make countless ripples on the river surface, on both sides are rich and lush aquatic plants, and occasionally some birds that prey on freshwater fish such as cranes and storks row across the river and bring up an unlucky egg as their own food.
After the middle-aged fisherman rowed the boat to the center of the river, he just controlled the direction and the boat floated down the river with the power of the current.
After drifting for about ten minutes, the middle-aged fisherman suddenly shouted, "Guest, can you help me get a bamboo pole?" There are a lot of fish here, and I want to catch a net. ”
Bai Ming was sitting in the cabin and looking at the river scenery, and when he heard the middle-aged fisherman's words, he shook his head and refused, "I don't object to you if you want to cast the net, but come back after sending me to the town of Taki." ”
"But then the fish will be gone." The middle-aged fisherman said anxiously.
"That's nothing to do with me, I paid you." Bai Ming said coldly.
After hearing this, Oeichiro glanced at Bai Ming with resentment in his eyes and stopped talking.
After the boat walked forward for another two minutes, Bai Ming suddenly heard a 'bang' sound of falling into the water, and then looked at the direction of the bow of the boat, the middle-aged fisherman was no longer visible, lost the support of the penny, and the center of the boat began to circle in the center of the river.
Bai Ming sighed helplessly and stepped forward, and when he reached the bow of the boat, he looked down at the river.
Suddenly, a figure jumped out of the river, raising his hand to grab Bai Ming and pull him into the river.
And Bai Ming suddenly reached out and grabbed the hand that was stretched out to him, and pulled hard, most of the middle-aged fisherman's body was pulled to the boat by him, Bai Ming stepped on his upper body with one foot to prevent him from slipping away, and held the Pu knife with the other hand, the sharp blade touched his face, making a small cut, and bright red blood flowed out from the knife on his face.
"Do you want to die or live."
Bai Ming's voice was indifferent, without a trace of emotion.
There have been more than a dozen cases of similar things he has encountered along the way, and the reason is very simple, seeing a foreigner asking all the way to the crane house, and he is not too short of money, so it is inevitable that he will want to make a fortune.
The human heart is sinister, nothing more than that.
If it weren't for Bai Ming's own constant vigilance in his heart, his five senses have also become much sharper since he practiced martial arts, and he could faintly sense whether the person in front of him had malicious intentions towards him, most of them would have been planted in this selfish and sneaky method.
"Spare me, spare me, my lord!"
Like the person who was subdued by Bai Ming in front of him, Ichiro Oe began to beg for mercy.
Instead of those in front of him, Bai Ming would directly ignore this plea for mercy and cut off their heads.
But now in Jiangxin, he looked at the vast river, and he couldn't swim.
"If you do any more tricks, your head will fall off."
After he made a cold threat, he forced him into the cabin, used the hemp rope in the cabin to tie his legs to form a restraint like leg cuffs, and tied several dead knots to ensure that he would not be able to untie for a while, and then took all the things on Oeichiro's body and led him with a rope.
In this way, if Ichiro Oe jumps into the water by playing any tricks, he will only kill himself.
After making these preparations and ensuring that it was basically impossible for Ichiro Oe to jump out of his palm, Bai Ming relieved him to return to the bow of the boat to support the boat.
And after this series of operations, Ichiro Oe also died of the mind of resistance, and concentrated on supporting the boat, but from time to time he glanced over and looked at Bai Ming's eyes full of fear.
The boat went down the river for about half an hour, and gradually other boats of the same size appeared on the river, and these boats were basically heading towards the lower river basin.
After passing through a fork, the originally turbulent water flow became gentle, around a cliff, the eyes suddenly opened up, there were hundreds of small boats sailing on the water in front of them, and a prosperous town was built next to the water.
Farther away, a steamship steamer steaming black gas sailed farther away.
"See Takizhen, it's down." Bai Ming walked out of the cabin and looked at the town of Taki, which was getting closer and closer, and a trace of emotion rose in his heart.
Next, as long as you take the daily steamship of Mitaki Town, you can reach Tsuruya, and your journey can be temporarily ended.
As the boat approached, when it was about to reach the shore of Mitaki Town, a small boat broke away from the shore of Mitaki Town and headed in other directions, and the small boat and the boat where Bai Ming was staggered by only five or six meters apart.
But Bai Ming suddenly looked at the small boat that was gradually moving away with a serious expression.
On the small boat just now, Bai Ming saw two men wearing black ninja clothes and masks, inexplicably, when he saw these two men, Bai Ming subconsciously became vigilant.
He sensed danger, and these two people were very dangerous people.
The aura on their bodies was cold, not the kind of coldness that was deliberately disguised, but some kind of chilling coldness.
In short, it is murderous.
A concept that seems unreal to actually exists.
Because the five senses are more sensitive than others, and he has also experienced the murderous aura that Mao Shibai and Cheng Lingsu emitted against him, Bai Ming can easily identify the existence of the murderous aura on the two of them.
It wasn't deliberately aimed at a certain person, but the murderous aura that naturally came with killing too much.
It seemed that Oeichiro was also shocked, he stopped rowing and whispered to Bai Ming, "It's the ninja of Yuyin Village." ”
Ninja.
That outfit didn't need Ieichiro to say that Bai Ming could guess a few points, but what he said about Yuyin Village.
Bai Ming vaguely felt that he had heard it somewhere, and he had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
He instinctively felt that it was important.
"What's going on in Yuyin Village, can you tell me about it carefully?" He didn't urge Ieichiro to go ashore as soon as possible, but asked in a deep voice.
It seemed that there was some surprise at what Bai Ming asked, but Oeichiro was now afraid of Bai Ming's previous methods, swallowed his saliva and said, "Yuyin Village is the ninja village of our Rain Country, and it is now led by Lord Sanshoyu Hanzo, and with their protection, we will not be invaded by other countries." ”
Bang!
Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, a bolt of lightning slashed in Bai Ming's mind.
If it was familiar to Yuyin Village before, then when he heard that Yuyin Village was associated with Sanshoyu Hanzo, Bai Ming guessed a terrible fact.
I may have traveled to a manga called "Naruto".
But that's it, it seems that many of the things that puzzled me in the past can be connected.
The country of fire, which is close to the land of rain, has a warm climate, and I have faintly heard that the environment is harsh, and the country of rain and rain form two extremes of desert country, the country of wind, and so on...
And this strange cultural system and the degree of development of civilization, I used to think that I had traveled to Japan in a parallel world, but now that I think about it, I can get an explanation for my previous confusion.
Here, the fuck is a person who can burst mountains, can spew water, fire, and clones, and can even make the moon and a high-risk world involving time travel.
If it weren't for the wrong painting style, it would be impossible for this kind of world to be regarded as a fairy world.
And in this world, he thought that he could protect himself with his martial arts, but now that he thinks about it, among the plots that he knows more or less, no matter how high and strong he is, most of them will become a cannon fodder in the later stage.
Thinking of this, a strong sense of unease rose in Bai Ming's heart.
"You have to have more capacity for self-preservation."
