As night fell, the Haruno family's carriage parked quietly beside the road in the forest, and a bonfire flickered to dispel the darkness near the carriage.

Haruno Meabuki and Haruno Sakura both slept in the carriage, only Haruno Zhao sat in the driver's seat, leaning against the wooden beam of the carriage, but did not fall asleep.

The dark night brings people unlimited imagination space, and the forest in the dark night is more likely to cause some very bad imaginations.

Looking at the woods on both sides of the road, the flickering firelight reflected the dark shadows of the trees, it looked like people standing in the dark, staring at the carriage quietly.

The sleepless Osamu Haruno was still thinking about the trees blocking the road ahead.

According to Haruno Zhao's knowledge, this place is close to Hell Canyon, which is full of deadly poisonous gas. Although the poisonous gas will not overflow here, no one wants to live so close to the danger for a long time, so there can be no villages nearby.

So who are the people who cut down the tree and left it in the middle of the road, and what is the purpose of these people?

But in any case, the ninjas sent by Konoha Village should arrive tomorrow morning. At that time, the ninjas can help clear the trees, and you can also look for someone nearby who set up such a sinister roadblock in such a remote place. .

Gradually, Haruno Zhao couldn't stand the fatigue of driving the carriage for a long time during the day, his consciousness gradually became dizzy, and his eyelids slowly closed.

woo~

woo~

woo~

Half asleep, Haruno Zhao heard a painful whimper.

The sound was unusually dissonant in the quiet forest, the slight chirping of insects, and the occasional crackling of the fire.

Haruno Zhao sensed the dissonance, and immediately regained consciousness, straightening his body to look at the surrounding darkness.

This painful whimper was indeed a real sound, and it came from the dark woods beside the road.

woo~

woo~

The whimper was somewhat similar to the groaning sound of a human being after being injured. The voice that was 30% human but 700% more like a ghost was pulled very long, and the tone was sharp and even harsh.

After realizing that this was indeed the sound of reality, Haruno Zhao immediately jumped out of the carriage, went to the fire and picked up a burning wooden stick, and stretched it towards the bushes beside the road, trying to see further.

But the source of the sound was farther away than expected, and the fire on the burning stick was far from enough to reach where the sound came from.

woo~woo~

Suddenly, the whimper became rapid, as if the person who made the sound was unstable.

Now Haruno Zhao faces a choice.

One option is that there may be injured people in the woods who need medical attention.

Another option is to do nothing.

Under the two choices, Haruno Zhao decisively chose the former. After all, the opposite was a living human being, and it was impossible for him to let a living life gradually disappear in his ears.

Determined, Haruno Zhao found another stick in the fire that could burn for a long time, and headed towards the bushes.

...

The woods at night are always difficult to walk, especially the woods covered with low shrubs. The wooden sticks that cannot be burned efficiently can not illuminate the dark places under the feet, so Haruno Zhao's speed is not very fast.

But it didn't take long for Haruno Zhao to find that the light of the burning fire behind the carriage could no longer be seen, and he seemed to be a long way from the person who was still whimpering in front of him.

Although Haruno Zhao was determined to save people, he didn't want to leave the carriage too far, so he stopped in place and shouted loudly into the darkness of the distant woods, "Where are you?"

woo~

The whimper was a bit sharper, as if the injured person was working harder. The injury seemed to be so severe that the person could not speak normal human words, so he could only respond with this vague voice.

No way, Haruno Zhao could only follow the voice and continue to go deeper into the forest.

...

In the quiet carriage, Meabuki slowly opened his eyes.

Glancing at Haruno Sakura, who was sleeping beside her, Meabuki smiled slightly, covered her with the kicked-off blanket, and got out of the carriage.

Meabuki knew that her husband must be very tired, so she wanted to change her husband and let herself take the place of Haruno Zhao to watch the night.

Originally, Mebuki felt that there was no need for a night watch, but Haruno Zhao insisted that someone should watch the night.

But when Ya Bhui got off the carriage, he found that there was no one beside the carriage, only a fire that was getting smaller and smaller.

"husband?"

"husband?"

Afraid of waking up her sleeping daughter, Yachui's voice is not too loud, and the sound can only spread to the trees on both sides of the road at most.

Pay attention to the official account: Book Friends Base Camp, pay attention to get cash and coins!

But in the dark woods, no one responded to her.

For a while, Meabuki was a little panicked. After all, it was midnight, so where could Haruno Zhao go?

Yabuki began to search in the bushes around the carriage. Although he left the carriage, Yabuki was always in the light of the fire and did not go far.

"husband?"

"Where are you?"

He was shouting back and forth in the trees next to him, and suddenly a child's cry came from behind.

Sakura!

As soon as Mibuki heard her daughter's cry, she rushed back to the carriage in three steps.

Opening the curtain of the carriage, the carriage was empty, and Haruno Sakura was gone.

Before Meabuki could call out Sakura's name, she saw a dark figure standing on the side of the road outside the limit of the fire's light.

This dark figure is very short, more than two heads shorter than the woman who is a woman, and looks like a slightly older child.

Although his face could not be seen from this distance, Meabuki saw the pink hair that was holding a smaller object in his arms, occasionally pulsing and illuminating the object in the distant firelight.

"Sakura!"

Meabuki immediately recognized that the figure was holding Sakura in her arms, so she shouted in the direction of the figure.

And the thing in the figure's arms immediately let out a struggling whimper. Although it was not clear, Meabuki could also hear that it was his daughter's voice.

"Uh, uh..."

Meabuki immediately determined that the figure was holding Sakura, so he began to negotiate nervously with the figure in the dark.

"What do you want?"

"money?"

"I can give you ~www.NovelMTL.com~ Let go of my child, let her go."

While talking, Meabuki approached the figure slowly, trying to get as close to him as possible, and then grabbed Sakura from his hand.

But in the face of the various conditions that Yabuki opened, the short figure just stood there blankly, without any answer.

Just when Mibuki was less than ten steps away from the figure, the short figure suddenly turned around and ran towards the woods behind him.

"Do not!"

"Sakura!"

Seeing the figure nimbly jump over the bushes and get into the darker jungle, her mother's instinct made Yabuki go directly into the jungle without hesitation.

For a time, only a solitary carriage was parked on the side of the road.
