Naruto's Dark Dawn

Chapter 9

"Hey, Chiba, do you feel better?"

Qianye looked at the young man with a bright smile in front of him and nodded silently. He didn't speak, but continued to think about something.

Today is the seventh day since Chiba's last narrow escape.

Originally, Chiba was very happy to be able to escape, but the next day he discovered a serious problem, that is, his wound was infected.

It may be because the body itself is too weak. After all, it has been hungry for so long before, and it has been poisoned, so that Qianye has no resistance at all.

After barely struggling for a few days, just after walking out of the forest, Qianye suddenly fainted and fell down by a small river.

Fortunately, perhaps Qianye's life was not to die, and a team that had been fleeing along the river happened to pass by and rescued him.

And the young man with an extremely contagious smile in front of him is the leader of the fleeing team, his name is Xia Mu.

Xia Mu is a person who always has a smile on his face, and he can always easily infect others with his smile, and everyone in the team has a good evaluation of him.

However, if Qianye had to give this guy an evaluation, then Qianye would only give him three words, bad guy.

Although she is very grateful to this guy for saving her, Qianye still holds a negative attitude towards some of this guy's actions.

For example, in the matter of saving oneself, almost all the people in the team did not agree with saving themselves. After all, they were just a fleeing team, and they themselves lacked food.

Moreover, the wounded like Qianye will definitely consume more precious medicines in the team, and must be taken care of by special personnel, which is undoubtedly a great waste.

Especially even if the injury is healed, Qianye is still just a child with little ability. Apart from consuming food, it is impossible for Qianye to bring any help to the team.

But Xia Mu forcibly suppressed everyone's opposition and kept himself.

Having been in this team for a few days, Qianye already has some understanding of this team.

They are basically people from the same village, and they had to migrate only to escape the war.

Compared with these people, Chiba always seemed a bit out of place as an outsider.

Looking at the busy crowd around, no matter whether it is digging wild vegetables or catching fish to make a fire, there is always something to do, and Chiba, even if he recovers from his injury, he may not be able to do it, or in other words, he is so pitiful. The labor force is simply not worth consuming such precious food.

Looking at the surrounding environment, Chiba has complicated thoughts.

Especially a child who was mixing soil into the grain, his behavior shocked Chiba greatly.

Suddenly, when Chiba was thinking about something, there was a loud noise not far away.

"Xia Mu, if you do this again, we will all be killed."

"Yeah, yeah, let's forget about the previous few times, those kids are somewhat useful, but this kid in front of him is obviously a burden, and the medicinal materials wasted on him are enough for us to exchange for a few days of food."

"Xia Mu, I really can't do this anymore."

People kept talking about something, but the core meaning was always inseparable from wanting to drive Qianye out of here.

And Xia Mu kept assuring everyone in a panic.

"Please believe me, I can definitely take everyone out of this predicament, please, please."

After a long time, everyone saw that the objection was ineffective, so they reluctantly scattered and left here again, but before leaving, they inevitably cast hostile eyes and curses at Qianye.

Gently wiped off his sweat, Xia Mu said awkwardly to Qianye: "Don't worry about what they said, don't worry, I"

"Get me out of here."

Looking into Xia Mu's eyes, Chiba said seriously.

"In a few days, I will almost recover from my injury, so I will leave here, and I will not drag you down."

As he said that, Qianye took out half of the money he got from Scarface and handed it to Xia Mu.

"These money should be your reward for saving me."

Leaving here was Chiba's deliberate choice.

These days, many people in the team have started to trouble the leader. From Qianye's point of view, not to mention whether he wants to stay or not, Xia Mu's overly gentle personality may be enough. Being kicked down by the people below will only make him more dangerous.

And with the money and tools that scarred her face, Qianye felt that she could still survive for a while, and as for the future, she could only think of a way.

However, Chiba's proposal was not approved.

"Hey, kid, do you want to pull me like this?"

Regardless of Qianye's objection, Xia Mu violently ruffled Qianye's hair.

"You idiot, how much food can you buy now with this little money, especially the medicine you used before, it is not enough, you should stay honestly, when you pay off the debt before leaving, you don't want to Thinking about sneaking away."

Qianye was silent for a moment, with a complicated expression, a warm current flowed through Qianye's heart.

"I know that you are kind to me, and I am very grateful that you saved my life, but I know that you are also in a difficult situation now, and you can see that they are making trouble for you every day, so if you continue like this"

These days, people kept coming to trouble this nosy leader, it was impossible for Qianye to pretend to be deaf and dumb in this situation.

In any case, Qianye at least didn't want to drag her savior down.

Xia Mu smiled slightly, and said softly: "It's nothing, they are just complaining, don't dare to go too far. You are so small, what's the difference between throwing you down and killing you? Don't worry, We're no worse than you."

Xia Mu's tone was extremely resolute, as if it was really not bad.

This is not the first time Xia Mu has rejected Chiba, he always has various reasons to keep Chiba.

After a long silence, Chiba raised a question: "Why?"

"Ok?"

Xia Mu looked at Chiba suspiciously.

"I said why are you being so nice to me?"

Even though Qianye understands that maybe he shouldn't ask this question, and he didn't say anything if he could save you, you still keep babbling.

But at this moment Qianye desperately wants to know what is driving this person in front of him.

I met him by chance, without any friendship, but he was able to help him with all his strength without hesitation, Qianye was eager to know what this was for.

Xia Mu was slightly stunned when he heard this question, and then his eyes gradually drifted away, as if he remembered something.

"Why, maybe it's because I was once a war orphan."

There was a trace of sadness and complexity in Xia Mu's tone of voice.

"I understand how difficult it is for people like us to survive in this world, suffering and suffering"

One sad thing after another kept coming out of Xia Mu's mouth, and when it came to the emotional part, even Xia Mu's eyes turned red unknowingly.

"So, I can't help but help those children who are the same as me. I understand that I can't save too many people, but at least, if I can save one, it counts as one."

At the end, as if doing this would bring happiness to Xia Mu, the corners of his mouth were already slightly raised unconsciously.

"Can one be saved?"

Staring blankly at the clean and gentle smile on Xia Mu's face, Qianye silently lowered her head.

Those who can save one count as one, this simple sentence shocked Chiba greatly.

Perhaps it is only in this world that one can meet such a person.
In her previous life, Qianye has long been used to intrigue among people, indifference and insidiousness. She has never seen such a person, let alone imagined becoming such a person. Occasionally, when someone mentions it, she would even dismiss it as a fool, but now.
Thinking of this, Chiba once again fell into dead silence.

And just when Qianye was silent, someone anxiously sent news from the front.

"It's not good, Xia Mu, there are bandits blocking the way ahead."

Hearing that there were bandits, Xia Mu didn't panic too much. In such a troubled world, there are so many bandits, and they have encountered more than one group along the way.

Frowning, Xia Mu took out a pair of huge bows and arrows and walked up.

Staring blankly at the huge bow and arrow that obviously didn't match Xia Mu's physique, Qianye couldn't help being a little puzzled, such a thin guy like Xia Mu could use such a bow and arrow?
