Konoha starts with a young bird

Chapter 256 Accident
Ruoruo looked at Zhou Lai in front of her with a face of reluctance, her mouth turned up, and her eyes looked straight into Zhou Lai's eyes.

"Sorry, Ruoruo."

With a smile all over his face, Zhou Lai scratched the back of his head in embarrassment,
"The entrusted task is indeed more important, and as a person, I don't like to have too hypocritical interactions with officials who don't know me. Please understand."

Looking at the aggrieved face in front of him, Zhou Lai felt a little soft-hearted, but he understood that he was just a passer-by in the life of the girl in front of him, and the life without intersection would only make them go further and further apart
"Humph"

Ruoruo turned around and was about to shake his sleeves and leave, but the next second he thought of the things his father taught him not to be willful, he stopped in place.

The body also turned around slowly.

"Then you have to take care!"

"Thank you Ruoruo."

"And remember to come back to see me, and."

Zhou Lai stood on the top of a magnificent building. At this time, the night had completely descended on the country, and all kinds of lights underneath were interlaced and flickering, reflecting the unique cultural style of this town.

The palace in the distance is more magnificent and majestic than the building under Zhou Lai's feet.

But the rows of strict guards made it more cold and less friendly.

Zhou Lai didn't even take a step in there, standing in the distance and staring at the carriage where Ruoruo was driving in, Zhou Lai disappeared.

Although he didn't feel too tired, the slob in his body was always affecting his judgment
Randomly found a hotel that looked comfortable, and Zhou Lai planned to set off for Wunin Village tomorrow.

Having nothing to say all night, Zhou Lai fell asleep and didn't participate in the carnival of the warriors or even the group of ministers who greeted the princess.

All the way to the east, Zhou Lai crossed the other half of the bear country in less than half a day, reaching the border of the strait between the water country and the bear country.

If this were replaced by the team of the samurai, it would take at least two days to walk.

The northern part of the Bear Country is the Uzumaki Country, which is where the Uzumaki Clan used to be.

But there is now deserted. It was a small island with a small area. Without the Uzumaki family, few families would move there.

The strait between the country of water and the mainland is densely populated with small islands and hidden reefs.Many of them still don't even have names.

Only the nearby fishermen will take it there for a few days when they are fishing, and the rest of the time is idle.

This place is at the border of the ninja world, and its business is far inferior to the land of soup and the land of iron, which are located in the north with superior geographical location.

Zhou Lai's original plan to find a merchant ship to go directly to the country of water was shattered.I had to settle for the next best thing and go to a nearby fishing boat.

But what Zhou Lai never imagined was that he actually ran into one of his own people here.

"Old man, are you leaving the boat this afternoon?"

Zhou Lai walked into the village not far from the sea, such houses are generally relatively simple, and Zhou Lai felt very shabby even at first glance.

A little exaggeration is that four wooden boards are stacked together, and a little local characteristic big banana leaves are added on the roof.

The fishermen here have dark skin, but their bodies look very strong.

"Old man, old man,"

Zhou Lai looked in through the gap in the door, the room was dark, and he could only tell that there was someone inside by feeling.

And it should still be two people, but one person's breathing is weaker, so it is not easy to be noticed.

"It seems that the living conditions of this family are not very good. There are still patients at home. I should take care of them. It's not easy."

Zhou Lai had mixed feelings in his heart for a while, and the compulsory education in his previous life made him develop a kind heart.An excellent character of respecting the old and loving the young.

When the surrounding villagers saw outsiders coming, they all came forward to watch curiously, but these were all older people.

Zhou Lai guessed that the young and middle-aged should all go out to fish.

"Young man, take a boat?"

An old voice sounded.

Zhou Lai turned his head to look at the thin old man in front of him, who was hunched over, with his hands behind his back, his dim yellow eyes reflected Zhou Lai's reflection.

"Well, by boat." Zhou Lai nodded.

"Old Yutou must be physically inconvenient, otherwise he would not go out today by himself. If you are in a hurry, I will take you there!"

The old man's hoarse voice became louder and louder.

"He's alone?"

A ripple flashed across Zhou Lai's eyes.

"That's right. Otherwise, how many people do you want?"

The old man seemed very puzzled by Zhou Lai's question.

"Let's go, young man, hurry up! After noon, we won't leave the boat if the weather is bad!"

The old man took two steps forward and looked back at Zhou Lai who was still standing there.

"He is a lonely old man, and life is not easy. I'd better let him take me there."

Zhou Lai refused the old man's request without hesitation, not because Zhou Lai didn't like the old man, but because he was more interested in the weak voice inside.

咚

dong dong~
Zhou Lai's rhythmic knock on the door came into the room again.

But there was still no sound response from inside the room.

In Zhou Lai's ears, the weak breath disappeared.

"Oh? He's not an ordinary person."

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Lai's mouth, and he became more interested in the guys inside.

"I'm not going to sea today."

Seeing the constant knocking on the door, the old voice still came from the room.

"Old man, the price is negotiable, I pay twice the usual price!"

As soon as Zhou Lai finished speaking, some noisy voices around suddenly stopped.In an instant, it became silent outside, which looked particularly strange at noon when the sun was thick.

But immediately, the surrounding silence was instantly broken.

"I go."

"I go,"

"I go!"

The fishermen who had been watching the excitement became completely noisy, scrambling to cross the river.

But the voice in the room remained firm.

"Let them ferry you over. I don't feel well today. I can't!"

Zhou Lai stretched out his hand holding his chest,

"Three times! As long as you!"

boom!
The surrounding area was completely exploded. You must know that this price will allow them to not have to worry about food for at least a month.

There was a moment of silence in the room,
"Don't go!"

"ten times!"

The surroundings were dead silent, and everyone looked at Zhou Lai as if he had been taken advantage of.

Ten times the price was a huge sum of money for them. Faced with such a temptation, they would seize this opportunity even if they were unwell.One must know that this is already the price of their fishing and soliciting customers for half a year.
"No, no!"

The old voice inside was a little trembling, as if a big decision had just been made.A decision that could seal his fate.
