Chapter 53: Second Prize

"Sometimes we're in a bad mood, it's just because we haven't eaten!"

Kyojuro raised his arms and pointed to the smoking hotel restaurant.

"Let's go get something to eat before we think about anything else!

"When you're in a good mood, it's easy to do anything! No matter how big the difficulty is, it seems simple! ”

"Whew!"

It's a group of children, and it's easy to be emotionally infected.

In addition, since they woke up yesterday afternoon, they have not eaten any serious food until now, and at this time, the knot in their hearts opened, and they couldn't help but have a great appetite, and they immediately flocked away.

After a while, the innkeeper's exclamation was heard from there.

Seeing that the eldest boy was about to follow, Kyojurou stopped him.

"If it's surgery, it's better to keep it on an empty stomach!"

He smiled and said, "When the surgery is done, I'll bring the food to you."

"We'll eat together then! But until then, I'll be waiting for you to wake up on an empty stomach! ”

"Thank you......"

The boy whispered, his face flushed with shame.

After all, he was looking for death and life a few minutes ago, but now he is excited for food, and it seems that his position is not very firm. Especially when Kyojuro seems to be younger than him, this emotion is even more intense.

"Don't be embarrassed, face the change of your mind calmly!

"Sticking to the wrong idea for the sake of face is really not a man's doing!"

Kyojurou patted his vest as if to punch force into the boy's body, and the latter's gaze became visibly firm.

"I see."

Xingjulang paused before asking, "I haven't asked yet, what's your name?" ”

"Yasujiro." The boy hesitated for a moment, "There is no surname." ”

Except for those who deliberately hide their surnames like Tsunade, the vast majority of people who don't have surnames are because of the low status of their ancestors. But the word Purgatory Kyojuro's purgatory is hard to forget when you hear it, so Yasujiro is somewhat sensitive when he says his name.

"Then that's what I'll call you, Yasujiro! You can also call me Kyojuro! ”

Kyojurou looked in the direction of the living room, "Let's go, before the operation, let's go and say hello to Miss Shizun who did the surgery for you!" ”

"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"

Shizune watched them walk towards him, and unconsciously stood up with the guinea in his arms.

Although they only got along for a few days, she not only had a deep affection for this child, but also respected him from the bottom of her heart.

This respect is not because of Kyojuro's kindness, but because he can really do what he says.

Obviously he has a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders, and he is so busy that he doesn't even have time to sleep in order to make money, but he can still take care of everyone's feelings, even if it's Tsunade-sama who has been speaking ill of him, Kyojurou never blames him, and even comes to her for dinner every day.

This kind of generosity that can encompass everything, even in the Hokage, has never been seen.

When the three of them met, Kyojuro and Shizune hadn't spoken, and the young man named Yasujiro immediately bowed deeply to Shizun: "I'm sorry! I gave you trouble yesterday! ”

He said that after waking up, he refused to be silent for the examination, and wanted to drag the sick body out of here.

"It doesn't have to be this way. I'm glad you figured it out, too. ”

Mute couldn't help but be surprised, in less than twenty-four hours, a person's mental outlook suddenly changed dramatically, and she was also surprised. And Kyojuro on the side just smiled brightly.

Being able to face your mistakes is the first step to facing reality.

This shows that Anjiro did listen to what he just said.

After the three of them sat down again, Kyojurou asked, "Miss Shizune, I just saw His Excellency the Doctor go out?" ”

"Hmmm......"

Speaking of this, Shizu's face showed a hint of embarrassment, but he couldn't tell the truth, so he could only cover up for the teacher and said, "Tsunade-sama is eager to go to the next town, so I'll go first." After I operated on this child today, I must leave here immediately, and I can't make her wait too long, so the rest of the matter can only trouble you. ”

Unlike the feeling of being impatient to leave a place in order to avoid debts in the past, Shizun wanted to stay a little longer this time, but the situation really didn't allow it. Besides, she could understand Tsunade-sama's reason for wanting to leave as soon as possible.

"It's a pity that I didn't even have a chance to say goodbye to His Excellency Doctor!"

Kyojuro's tone was a little regretful, but he immediately became positive again, "But it's okay! I will tell these children what His Excellency Doctor has done for them, and everyone will remember her! ”

Shizune smiled reluctantly.

As long as Tsunade-sama leaves the country and starts drinking again, it's only a matter of time before he forgets about it.

She didn't have to think about it to know that leaving this "firecracker head" imp behind must be one of the things Tsunade-sama wants to do the most right now.

When Kyojurou got along with them for less than a day, he wanted to solve the problem that Shizune hadn't been able to do for more than ten years, although Tsunade-sama's time without drinking was only a short day, but Shizune could feel that the sober Tsunade Ji was completely different from the drunk woman who didn't care about anything.

She only hopes now that Tsunade-sama won't break her bet with Kyojuro when no one is around her.

After all, she already owes so much gambling debt, so what's the difference if she owes a little more.

"Alright, let's take care of the surgery first."

Mute changed the topic, and Kyojuro stopped asking about Tsunade.

"Anjiro, among the six people, the Sansho Fish poison sac on your body is the most unstable of all."

Shizune took out his professional attitude as a healer and carefully explained, "In order to wake you up, I used more than twice the dose of antidote from other people. If you don't, I'm not sure I'll cut you. But now that you're awake, I'll ask you some questions, and you'll answer me as best you can. ”

Yasujiro subconsciously looked at Kyojuro, and couldn't help but be a little nervous.

Kyojurou didn't know much about medical skills, but Yoshiyong also told the crow that if necessary, this child could remove the poison sac before the toxin was absorbed. If you wait seven days, the variables will increase.

It sounds like it's not far from the judgment of mute.

"You ask, but I know very little."

Yasujiro's encouraging eyes gradually calmed down.

Mute: "Okay. Let me ask you first, when was you taken away by Yunin, do you remember? ”

Yasujiro: "It's the beginning of January. ”

Mute's eyes welled up with surprise.

According to Kyojuro, it should have been shortly after the transplantation experiment began. In other words, Yasujiro is actually a veteran-level "experimental subject".

"Did you implant this thing right away?"

"Well, they say, it makes me a very good ninja."

Thinking of the scene at that time, Yasujiro's face turned slightly blue, "I stayed in a cell-like room for two or three days, ate six or seven meals, and then fainted. ”

The look of doubt on Mute's face became more and more obvious.

"Miss Silence, is there something wrong?" Kyojuro asked.

"Hmmm......"

Shizune didn't hesitate, and immediately said: "Judging from the fluctuating changes in Anjiro's body temperature when he was in a coma, his adaptability to the poison sac is very poor. Before I detoxified, I judged with a stethoscope that the poison sac in Anjiro's body was obviously overloaded and about to explode when absorbing the toxins in his body. As a matter of common sense, with the adaptability he has shown, it is impossible to hold on for so long......"

Yasujiro didn't quite understand the meaning of mute, so he could only stay quietly, not even knowing whether his situation was good or bad.

"Will it affect the outcome of the surgery?"

This is the issue that Kyojurou is most concerned about.

"If the poison is detoxified, the operation will be much easier. But he'd been implanted for so long that it had become a part of his body. As soon as I break open his skin, it may cause the sac to automatically react defensively, causing the toxin to flow backwards into his body and snort out. ”

Mute pondered for a moment, "Just to be on the safe side, I still need to configure a few more antidotes, so it should be foolproof." ”

"Excuse me!"

Xing Shoulang sat upright and said sincerely: "Although you have always regarded yourself as an apprentice, among the doctors I have seen, there are only a few people who can be as responsible as you!" I'm sure you'll shine in the future! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Thank you. ”

His medical skills were finally recognized by those he admiredβ€”even though he was just a childβ€”but Shizun's eyes were still a little moist.

Although Tsunade-sama is very responsible when teaching medical skills, it is difficult for her to say anything good when she is drunk, and such a compliment is precious to Shizune.

Shizun enters the house to dispense medicine, while Kyojuro hugs the guinea dolphin and talks to Yasujiro, hoping to make the latter as relaxed as possible. And the guinea dolphin also seems to like the warm feeling on Xingjulang's body, and he is paralyzed and lying on his stomach.

……

Meanwhile.

Tsunade was preoccupied, walking all the way to the post station outside Heli Town.

Her face was full of contemplation, her eyebrows were low, and the men who used to dare to whistle because of her beauty on the road immediately turned their heads when they glanced at her today.

This is the right choice.

Because this Tsunade Ji from Konoha was trying to find a target at this time to smash down with a punch and disperse the firecracker-headed imp, the voice that kept echoing in her head.

As long as we don't lose ourselves, our deceased relatives will know that they haven't lost us either. 】

[This power must not be shelved or abandoned just because it is mired in sorrow. 】

[If the deceased relatives know that you have fallen into this situation of life worse than death and soul loss after death, will they be able to find peace? 】

Tsunade, who has no relatives, relies on the stimulation of gambling and the anesthesia of alcohol, and has not thought of her relatives for a long time, and even if she does, alcohol will help her disperse.

But in this town, I met such a little ghost-

His red and yellow hair color looks like a mix of his grandmother Whirlpool Mito and his younger brother Rope Tree.

His hearty personality and optimistic attitude are very similar to the grandfather who has a face in his memory.

And when Kyojuro looked at her, his caring eyes reminded her of her father and mother.

The most important thing is that the appearance of being full of confidence and saying that he wants to save lives is more like Tsunade himself when he was young.

Sure enough, when she saw this little ghost for the first time, she didn't like him, and there was a very reasonable reason.

It's like a ghost from her past, integrated into a big living person, who wants her to be at peace.

As he walked, Tsunade had already arrived at the inn's restaurant, found a low table and sat down.

She was here waiting for the silence.

The owner of the shop walked over and said, "Guest, are you eating or drinking tea?" ”

Tsunade squeezed his fingers and hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out to his forehead and commanded, "Bring the wine." ”

No way, it's still a long time today.

"Ah, but it's still morningβ€”"

His voice was cut short by a look from Tsunade.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well, we haven't delivered the sake we serve to our customers yet, do you see the beer shop? ”

The boss rubbed his hands and squeezed out a big smile, "It's our local brand, and now there are lottery activities, the more you buy, the more likely you are to win." ”

"Huh?"

Lottery?

Beer, which satisfies Tsunade's two hobbies at the same time, catches her eye, and her eyes light up, but it quickly goes out.

She still didn't make up her mind to break the agreement, and waved her hand: "Let's have a bottle first." ”

"Just come."

Soon, a well-packaged bottle of beer was placed on the table, and the owner said: "The results of the lottery are written on the bottle cap." The first prize will be won with a prize of 10,000 taels. The second prize is five thousand taels. The third prize is one thousand taels. The odds of winning the lottery are very high, you can redeem it on the spot, and we can go to the manufacturer for reimbursement. Do you want me to open it for you? ”

"I'll do it myself."

Tsunade waved his hand, and the boss left, but she didn't mean to open the bottle. Instead, she stared at the delicate bottle, on which her face was reflectedβ€”

Eyes at twenty, lips at twenty, bridge of nose at twenty, hairstyle at twenty......

Only the slightly cowardly look in her eyes was completely different from the confident appearance she had when she was twenty years old, and she had hardly grown any way over the years.

She held the bottle and laughed at the thought that she wanted to reverse her bet with a child.

Two people, similar experiences, their actual age is even seven or eight times that of the child. But he can cheer up and take care of others, but he can't take care of himself at all, and he can hesitate for a long time when he sees something red.

I can't imagine how it would feel if grandpa, grandma, and rope trees could really see their current appearance in another world?

The long-term future shame and guilt for his family occupy Tsunade's heart.

She put her forehead on the top of the bottle, her eyes stared blankly at the reflection of the neck of the bottle, and she remained motionless, I don't know how long it took, and from time to time she looked at the face of the boss here, and the look of worry became more and more obvious, I don't know what this guest wants to do?

Suddenly, the reflection in Tsunade's eyes suddenly changed to the appearance of a rope tree, and he shouted, "Sister! This woke Tsunade out of a trance.

She sat up as if she had just woken up from a dream, but found that there were many people in the restaurant, and before she knew it, it was already noon.

"Mute this guy, why is it so slow......"

Tsunade calmed down and looked at the bottle with a frown, and there was no desire to drink it.

Just to pass the time, but also to relieve the itchy hands that have not gambled for a few days, she unscrewed the cap.

When the boss came out of the inner room, a bottle full of beer was placed on the table, but Tsunade was nowhere to be seen, and there was no money on the table.

"What the hell is this? The bottles are all opened, even if you don't drink it, you can't help but give money? ”

The boss frowned, walked to the table with a chatter, only glanced at it, and suddenly grinned like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Because on the cap of the bottle, the words "Second Prize" are written, and the prize is 5,000 taels.
