The daily life of Konoha, a black-bellied swordsman

Chapter 175
About a hundred miles away from Muye Village, there is a small hillside called Huashan.It is only one word away from Huaguoshan, but the environment is very different.

Although Huashan has a Chinese character in its name, it is actually bare and there are not many flowers and trees.The only famous things here are several hot springs and several Zhuangzi.

I don't know when it started, but the robbers came to Huashan.

This location connects the three countries and is a small road for cross-border trade. For robbers, it can be regarded as a good place to fall.

Of course they have no way to deal with the kind of large caravan that can afford the protection of ninjas.Even if the other party hires only a ninja, it is not something that ordinary thieves can provoke.

But apart from that kind of large caravan, there are still many civilians doing private trade in the border area of ​​the three countries.

In any era, there are people who make a living.

Especially in the war years, the profits of this kind of cross-border trading are very rich.If an ordinary person sells a load of goods in other countries, the profit will be three to ten times.

It was these civilians who supported several groups of robbers.

The civilians hated the robbers so much that they even pooled money to hire ninjas, trying to wipe out these robbers to avoid future troubles.

The strength of ninja adults is very powerful, how can ordinary thieves be their opponents?Divide two by three, five by three, and the problem is solved.

The ninja adults took the reward and returned to their village.

But soon, another group of robbers appeared.Many of these robbers were familiar faces from before.

The reward they gave to the ninja was to drive away the thieves, and if they wanted to kill them, that was another price.

A price that an ordinary peddler would never be able to afford.

Furthermore, even if all these robbers are really killed, other robbers will emerge.

These days, there are too many people who are lazy by nature, don't like to work, or can't work at all.

Plus the occasional war that breaks out.

Although there are fewer wars between big countries, the wars between small countries have never stopped.In peaceful times, wars between small countries have become the epitome of the influence of big countries.

Where there is war, people will be displaced and sleep on the streets.

These people have lost their houses and land. What can't they do in order to survive?
Not to mention that ninjas will only trouble them when they receive a commission, even if ninjas trouble them all the time, they will still go to snatch them in order to live...

Ninja world has never been a peaceful world.

Even in this world, the most powerful country, the Land of Fire, and the most powerful force, Konoha.

They have experienced countless wars, big and small, and not long ago, someone came to their house to carry out a Honkai plan.

Other big countries are also peaceful on the surface, but there are not a lot of bad things inside.

This is still a big country and a big power.

Let alone those small forces...

These small traders who trade among the three countries can only play hide-and-seek with the thieves.

Even though I went ten times, the goods would be robbed five or six times.

But as long as they can pass four or five times, overall, they are profitable.

It's just that most of the profits are given to the thieves.

This time too, a few small vendors walked on the small road in Huashan with their goods in small carts or simply on poles.

"Be careful, if you are targeted by those thieves, you will run away in vain this time."

Leading a middle-aged man, staring nervously around.

Their team is small, so as long as they are careful, they can find those thieves in advance, and there is still a chance to hide.

"Damn it, I don't know how these thieves' eyes grow? I have been intercepted three times in a row before. My capital has been almost discounted, so I called the ninja."

Another dark-faced man muttered dissatisfiedly.

The surrounding partners all nodded.

But they just nodded along, what's the use of calling a ninja?

It's not like they haven't called before. Once the ninjas appear, those guys are as honest as mice and won't come out at all.

None of them make enough money to pay the ninjas.

"Stop talking, be careful to attract thieves?"

The leading middle-aged man scolded sharply.

He always felt that the atmosphere today was a little strange.

Although there are few flowers, plants and trees in Huashan, it's not that there are no flowers, it's just that the number is relatively small.

There are flowers, plants and trees, so naturally there are birds and beasts.

When they passed this road before, even if there were thieves ambushing around, they could occasionally hear the sound of birdsong.

But now, they couldn't hear a single sound, and the surrounding environment was too quiet.

This is not normal!

The middle-aged man wanted to tell the team to stop, if not, they would go back.

But in such an environment, once they were targeted, how could they leave with the goods?
The middle-aged man could only calm down and continue to lead the team forward.

If he was robbed again this time, he would have a good talk with the thieves on Huashan.

Many of the goods that the thieves got before were bought back by him.

After all, thieves are not merchants. It is useless for them to ask for so many goods. What they need is food and money.

None of these people know the market better than they small traders.

The middle-aged man made such a deal with the thieves in private.

Once or twice is enough, three times is too much.

If the thieves still want to rob at this time, it will be four times.The middle-aged man was going to talk to them about what it means to fish out of water.

Drain the water and get the fish. On the surface, you can get the most fish at once, but what about after that?
You must know that if these small traders can't go on without profit, the thieves will also not benefit.

"Boss, there is someone ahead!"

As soon as they heard that there was someone in front of them, several small traders fell to the ground in fright.

The middle-aged man had the courage to set up a pergola to watch from a distance.

In the distance, there is a group of thieves neatly lined up on both sides.

In the middle of them, there is a square table with paper and pens on the table.

A gentleman was sitting at the table with a pen in his hand, as if he was taking notes.

Opposite the thieves, there is also a group of small traders, looking at it like that, they are communicating with the gentleman holding the pen.

Behind the team, there is a temporary shed, in which there are also tables, chairs, teapots and tea bowls.

A young figure, sitting on a chair sipping tea, is sighing.

The middle-aged peddler saw the man's face clearly, and his eyes widened.

"Boss, do you know who that person is?"

"How could I have seen such a big man? I just saw it on the wanted notice."
