The roast duck for dinner was indeed what she imagined, it was not the roast duck she had imagined.
This is washed and skewered and grilled on wooden sticks. In order to prevent all the fat from flowing away and being wasted, some extra things are wrapped outside.
But the taste is okay.
-
After dinner, Yang was led by his mother for a walk on the street.
"Starting from tomorrow, let your aunts accompany you for a walk every day. It's also time to see more of life outside the family..."
Her mother was very melancholy when she said this. Yang didn't know how to naturally take up topics like Xia, so she turned her head to the side.
"Want to eat jujube cake?"
The place Yang looked at casually was a pastry shop. Perhaps jujubes grow more easily in this climate. The snacks you can see in the store are basically related to jujubes.
The smell of dates is so strong that you can smell it from half the street.
"...Yeah." Yang nodded and smiled at his mother.
"Come." But her mother did not lead her over there. Instead, she took out a wad of banknotes from her sleeve pocket, put it gently on her hand, and motioned for her to buy it herself, "Your aunt also has some.
Did I teach you arithmetic? If you go to school, your family won’t be able to stay with you. You have to learn to do things by yourself."
Her mother smiled and touched her head without pushing her back hard.
"Yes, I understand." Yang held the money and walked towards the pastry shop resolutely.
She wasn't very sure about the current prices, but they weren't as expensive as ninja tools.
After some negotiation, Yang bought a bag of jujube cakes and preserved fruits, as well as some snacks that could be stored for a long time, like dry food.
The money given by the mother was not a lot, perhaps because her daughter might have been cheated, but after she bought these things, it didn't seem to be much more.
"Mom, can the remaining money be used as my pocket money?" Yang hugged the bag of food and blinked.
"Well, of course." Her mother smiled again, touched her hair and held her hand, "When Xiaoyang gets to school, just buy whatever you want."
After seeing this, the aunt on the side consciously helped carry the food and walked diagonally behind their mother and daughter.
-
Yang still slept with his mother at night, but this night he was hugged.
It made her feel stuffy and out of breath.
However, her mother did not do this intentionally...she knew it very well.
-
After that, Yang had his own room.
Different from the style of Sunagakure's fortress, it is a combination of Japanese-style wooden paper doors and tatami mats.
She distributed the snacks she bought before to everyone, picked out some of her own portion to eat with everyone, and then sealed the rest that could be stored for a long time and put them in the closet, as if they didn't exist.
Her mother and father now give her a little pocket money every day. After all, Yang is their daughter. As a daimyo child, if she acts like she has never seen anything in front of other peers, she will be punished.
A joke.
This is one aspect, and the other aspect is the attitude of worrying about Yang.
If Yang would tell his parents if he was told, then at least they would be able to come up with a solution together; if Yang didn't tell them and would just accept it silently even if he was told, that would be too sad.
Although they can ask the school teachers to inform them of all Yang-related incidents in school, there are many places that even teachers cannot see.
At least there won't be any comments like "Obviously he is a famous child, but his pocket money is so little".
Because some people may think from this that Yang is not liked by the family - or something like that. Children have many ideas and are the easiest to speak out.
...I don’t want the relationship between Yang and myself to get worse!!!
This is a rather selfish little thought in the daimyo's mind.
-
In the past, because Yang was too young and she didn't go out much, the daimyo and his wife would often buy Yang a few servings of ramen with pocket money every few weeks or almost a month. Because Yang usually spent time in
Even if he ran away from home during the meal, he would be found right away. Yang didn't buy anything during those days, so he gradually saved a lot.
Recently, Yang, who has pocket money in his account every day, will go out to buy his favorite food and other things accompanied by his aunts.
Ornaments, sculptures, toys, and maps of the Kingdom of Wind mixed in among these odds and ends.
After this routine lasted for about a week, the number of times she went shopping gradually became less frequent.
Yang’s parents heard that she wanted to save it for school, so that she would not be able to participate in their group when her classmates were all buying something.
When she first started to sleep alone at night, the adults in the family were very worried about her sleeping alone. A few days before Zaiyang got a new room, they would find various reasons to quietly watch her outside the room every night.
Check whether she sleeps well, whether she feels uncomfortable, whether the quilt is properly covering her - and other things that most responsible parents will care about.
Yang knew they were watching, and he behaved well in the first few days. He didn't do any strange behavior, he just slept under the covers obediently.
[Just stick with it, it’s just a few days.]
She had to pretend she didn't know anything while being stared at, lying there with her back to the door, but she was never able to fall asleep easily. Only when no one was looking at her in the middle of the night could she let herself fall asleep peacefully.
state.
To be honest, she was almost sleepy, but everyone's concerned eyes were so existential that she couldn't sleep when she was being looked at.
Having strong mental strength is actually not an advantage. Compared with ordinary situations, such a being will be more likely to notice various things around him than the average person.
Even if it is a small thing, it can add up to make people feel depressed.
After observing her for a few days, her family gradually became relieved and allowed her to stay alone for the night, and no longer visited her. Yang also breathed a sigh of relief.
Late at night on the first day when she was not being observed, she lifted up the floor mat in her room and started digging a hole bit by bit with the small shovel she bought for playing with sand.
Even though they live in a Japanese-style courtyard, the architectural structure is different from that of the Uchiha and Hyuga clan courtyards in Konoha.
There is no space under the room in the Kingdom of Wind for children and animals to pass through, there is only sand, gravel and soil.
Otherwise, if the wind blows, the house may be overturned.
Because of this, Yang dug a small hole without using much effort, and at the same time, he did not make too much noise to wake up his family.
The hole in the ground became bigger and bigger in the next few days. When the aunts were cleaning the room, they also found that the food Yang put in the closet was getting less and less.
——"Madam, there is a lot of food hidden in Miss Yang's room..."
This is what the aunt who first discovered the food said to Yang's mother.
——"Let's take a look again and see what Yang wants to do?"
The person who keeps cleaning the room is not Yang, but as a servant of a famous family, naturally he cannot put down any corner when cleaning.
Except for the hole under the heavy mat.
Who would have thought that a young child would dig holes in his own room?
After these aunties discovered that Yang had begun to eliminate the inventory in the cabinet, they felt relieved.
——"Maybe Xiaoyang likes those foods very much and doesn't want to finish them so quickly?"
Yang's mother guessed this.
There are also many people who put off what they like until the end and eat it slowly.
Logically speaking, she could just buy whatever she wanted to eat, but Yang didn't do that.
...Are you thinking about your family?
The important figures in the Kingdom of Wind can also be considered to be from wealthy families. Even for such people, the money they have is not easily earned.
However, as the daimyo's wife, she didn't know how much savings the daimyo had.
Otherwise, you would definitely be shocked by the seemingly random film-level commission from before.
——Yang is really sensible.
They have this understanding.
Although Yang just moved the food into the hole little by little.
By the way, most of her pocket money was also put under the cushion, leaving only a small part in the closet to attract the attention of the family.
-
In this way, Yang saved food and money for nearly a month, and then on a moonlit night that was not obscured by dark clouds, he put on several layers of inconspicuous and warm clothes, packed the food and money he had saved into a baggage, and carried those away from home.
The family ran away.
-
Yang gave up after trying to extract chakra again within this month, deciding that it would be better to wait until school.
She spent much longer exercising her mental strength than extracting chakra.
Yang tried to use his mental power to perceive his home every night. What he perceived at first was not very clear, and he could only feel it around his room. It was an exercise in doing nothing every day and being "attacked" by the eyes of everyone watching him while sleeping.
Next, in just two weeks, she figured out the security and night patrol routes of the Daming Mansion in her room.
You can also sense creatures within a certain distance from you.
Humans have larger goals and can feel more clearly, but animals are a little behind.
But now that she has reached the city, she has not been discovered by anyone.
[Isn’t that just running away from home?]
She dodged the night patrol in the city and walked towards the rising sun.
[It’s not like I’ve never done anything like this before, so it’s not a problem for me.]
Although at this time when she was facing the direction of the morning sun, the scene in the sky was still the moon.
[Let’s wait until we arrive in another country to determine the direction.]
The maps you buy in towns are not very detailed, but you can still get a general direction from them.
Carrying a big baggage, she walked towards the Country of Sichuan, which is next door to the Country of Memory Stroke.
-
The scenery of the Kingdom of Sichuan is good. It seems to be a balance between the environment of the Kingdom of Rain, the Kingdom of Wind, and the Kingdom of Fire. There are mountains, rivers, plains, woods, etc. It doesn’t rain as often as in the Kingdom of Rain, but it does happen often.
The light rain moistens the land. It is not as difficult as the Wind Country, but the terrain is also a bit steep. It is not like Konoha where there is everything, but at least there are many more flora and fauna that are not found in the Wind Country.
It took her a whole day to leave the endless desert.
[The village is in...]
Yang rummaged through his bag and took out a bag of compressed snacks. After unpacking them, he ate the remaining snacks and walked toward the central area of Kawa no Kuni.
[But if a child is walking down the street carrying something that looks like luggage...it will look suspicious, and it's hard to make up lies...]
Yang decided to find a guy here who looked kinder, preferably alone, and then tricked him into going to Konoha together.
[Well, I decided happily that way.]

19.12.13.
When you are happy, your mood will always change due to something. Detroit cannot be downloaded, the phone screen suddenly goes black (I want to crush it), the updated version of Naruto mobile game does not have enough memory, and a series of other things.
I am particularly prone to emotions. I was in a very bad mood during the few days I wrote about when I was looking for Tsunade. Generally, when I am in a bad mood, there is a 50% chance that I have a lot of inspiration, and the rest is a feeling of rejection. Emotions can indeed affect it.
Let’s get to the content. In the previous game, they got into a fight when they had a disagreement. Tsunade almost died, and Jiraiya didn’t do much to stop him. If the protagonist’s cheap old father (←) hadn’t appeared, probably all the three ninjas would have died (.) (Orochi
Maru also went to look for Tsunade at the same time, and happened to meet the protagonist as well)
It finally eased up, but then there was a disagreement again, and Tsunade almost made a mistake. Fortunately, Jiraiya knew the character of the protagonist and smoothed things over, otherwise it might have been over.
It was the same before. When I wrote about wanting to run away from the village, I planned the next plot, but at that time I was very unhappy, so I wrote that the protagonist almost killed Lao Ka, and the way I planned to leave the village was also the same as what I planned.
It's different...but no matter what unexpected development happens, I can just continue writing.
I don’t know if these chapters will be as affected as those.
This is an explanation of these chapters and possible future situations.
Most of my statements will be posted together with an explanation of why I express such a statement. I don’t think well, but I’m not a person who does things for no reason. And if I don’t say it, no one will know what I think and understand, so I basically
Everything will be said along with an explanation.
