221, Ban: ran away from the village but found a little black cat 32(1/2)
("Oiko Uchiha doesn't want to be Neptune");
The fish soup still smells so delicious.
The strong appetite that Uchiha had just now was gone forever.
Especially, there are still voices like this coming from outside——
"Tsubaki...bring the prepared fish soup with you."
"……I don't."
"Be obedient, I just tasted a little bit, and it tastes very good. You take it, take Mei to find one or two relatively friendly ninjas, and then offer the fish soup to them. Maybe, because it's delicious,
For soup's sake, they... they can be gentler with you tonight."
"..."
"Mei, this is the first time that Mei has been taken to accompany those people. Chun, take care of her, okay?"
"...I will."
"Well, thank you for your hard work, Chun, for us, for the village, for everyone." As the house owner's wife said, she sobbed softly again, "If you really blame us, just blame us, hate us, yes
We are useless and cannot protect you. If only I were younger, maybe..."
…
"It's almost time. Is your hair combed? Come on, let me apply lipstick for you."
…
"Mei, even if you feel pain, you must not resist, otherwise, you may..."
…
"Go ahead, we'll wait for you to come back at home."
…
inside the room.
The girl stood up straight silently, and said with a dark look: "Brother Ban, I'm going out for a while."
"How long?" Uchiha Madara did not stop.
"Soon." She said softly, "The udon seems to be ready. Brother Madara, please help me serve the soup. I'll drink it while it's hot when I get back."
"Really?" Uchiha Madara raised an eyebrow, "Okay."
Then, he carefully served the soup and waited patiently for the return of the rarely angry little girl.
In a small bowl that is the right size for her appetite, first put a layer of cooked udon noodles on the bottom of the bowl, then stack the already soft white radish, followed by the oil that has soaked up the soup.
Tofu, if you poke it with chopsticks, the milky white soup will come out. The fish meat and fish bones have been completely scattered during the long stew. In order to prevent the fish bones from hurting the delicate esophagus of the kitten, you only need to ladle the soup.
When scooping out the boiling liquid on top, be careful not to scoop out the ginger slices. Cats drink ginger soup but don’t like to eat ginger.
Once, twice, three times...
Until the bowl is 70% to 80% full.
Uchiha Madara placed the bowl in front of where the little girl was sitting before, and gently placed his chopsticks on the edge of the bowl. The hot mist floated, and the fragrance filled his nostrils.
He turned to serving himself soup.
When he gently blew the hot air in the bowl and took the first sip of the soup, the girl's figure appeared in the room again. With a little chill in her body, she strode to the stove and sat down, picking up the ground in front of her.
He took a big sip of the soup and showed a satisfied expression: "The temperature is just right~"
Then I started picking out the udon noodles with chopsticks.
"Suck, suck, suck~"
"Yeah, the texture of udon is just right."
Uchiha Madara, who also had a bit of a cat tongue and was testing back and forth on the edge of being "burned", finally took the first sip of soup. The hot soup entered his stomach and filled his mouth with delicious fragrance. After enjoying the winter delicacy for a while, he asked
: "Is everything resolved?"
"Yes." She nodded and replied while eating the radish in the bowl, "That group of people will leave the village soon."
"Not killed?"
"Dead."
"so……"
Uchiha Madara didn't ask again.
Because he knew what she meant——
This kind of wandering ninja has several accomplices or friends, so they cannot die in the village, which will bring endless trouble to the village. And they cannot stay forever to protect the village.
Therefore, the best way is to let them leave first and then let them die "naturally" outside.
This kind of thing seems difficult, but for her, it is just an illusion.
He knew that her illusion skills were very strong.
Because when he first wanted to get rid of her, he used a genjutsu on her. The genjutsu used by the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan only stunned her for a second or two. It was almost like a joke. However, it was true.
The little girl who talked about the murder in an understatement while drinking fish soup seemed to show a rare cold side of her character.
Hate?
No, I simply couldn’t like it more.
After all, this is a rare moment for kittens to stretch out their claws to hunt.
It's a pity that I couldn't see it with my own eyes.
But there was nothing he could do, after all, he had to serve her soup.
A certain young man named Uchiha who was thinking this way didn't seem to realize that he seemed to have unintentionally shown a rare virtuous side of his character~
Soon after.
The eldest daughter Chun and the second daughter Ju ran back home in a hurry.
"...Chun? Ju? Why are you back? Did something happen?"
"The leader of the group of ninjas seemed to have received some urgent news and left in a hurry."
"That's great...you all..."
"We are all fine. They had already left before we arrived without even looking at us. Ah, by the way, mom, look, I brought the fish soup back. Let's drink it together."
"Mom, I want to drink fish soup."
"Well, Mom, Dad, Mei, let's drink the fish soup together, it's still hot."
…
After a while, the room next door where the family gathered to drink fish soup was filled with almost intense joy - maybe for them, happiness is such a simple thing, not disturbed by outsiders, quiet and quiet despite poverty and embarrassment
Live together as a family peacefully.
Because of this encounter, the caravan did not dare to stay any longer. Early the next morning, at dawn, they took all the goods and "downwind passengers" and left together.
And Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Zi walked away quietly.
The first person in the family to get up is Chun, the eldest daughter. She is the first one in the family to get up. Then she has to chop wood, fetch water, boil water and make breakfast. After that, she wakes up. She is only in her thirties and has already lost strength to do daily tasks.
Some parents who are unable to do what they want, and the two younger sisters below.
There is no doubt that she is a beautiful, kind and virtuous girl.
And such a good boy, of course, should be rewarded.
So...
After she gently opened the patched paper partition door, she was a little surprised to see a plate at the door, a plate that they had previously served with fish to the guests next door. The plate had been washed again, and then it seemed
Something was reloaded, and the handkerchief that belonged to her was still covered above the item, and there were still flowers beside it, but they were not the plum blossoms she sent, but five daffodils that were rare in the middle of winter.
Narcissus is a flower that symbolizes complete happiness.
Although the girl named Chun may not understand the meaning, maybe at this moment, she also clearly knows that this is a blessing from the two kind guests.
She opened the handkerchief with trembling hands, and saw underneath it...
A sum of money.
"!" She subconsciously covered her mouth.
The caravan's ox-cart staggered on the road.
Because it was still too early, people in the carriage were leaning randomly to sleep or catch up on their sleep.
The little girl who was still being held in someone's arms was playing with the fingers of the person behind her. After playing with them, she began to write in the palm of his big hand——
【Bange】
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, grabbed her little hand in turn, and started writing——
To be continued...
