The next day, Qianyuan Youyou woke up. He ate a bowl of meat yesterday, which filled his thirsty body with strength. Looking through his memories of this life, he found that he had never eaten meat many times since he was a child, especially in the past few years. After the Kazekage organization failed to invade Konoha and paid tens of millions of taels in compensation, the entire Sunagakure Village was in trouble. Due to the lack of supplies, people starved to death every day.

When he walked out of the bedroom, the fat man was already diligently wiping the table in preparation for opening.

Seeing Qianyuan coming out, the fat man quickly greeted him: "You're awake, come over quickly for breakfast."

Qianyuan chose a seat and sat down. The fat man brought a bowl of bacon and said, "There is no water at home. Let's eat it alive. After eating, I will go get water."

"Aren't you going to eat?"

"Haha, what's breakfast for a rough guy?"

Qianyuan then remembered that most people in the Kingdom of Wind only eat two meals, and there are even poor people who only eat a few taros a day.

"Sit down and eat together! How can you be hungry if you hang out with me?"

"Okay, that's what I've been waiting for. My mouth watered when I was roasting it just now." The fat man smacked his lips, sat down on the bench, picked up the bacon with his hands and stuffed it into his mouth to eat.

After eating a few pieces of bacon, Qianyuan couldn't eat anymore. His throat hurt, but he didn't have a sip of water.

"I'll go next door to get two bags of water later, and we'll set off after eating." The fat man said vaguely while stuffing meat into his mouth.

The pot of meat was quickly eaten by the two of them, and most of it went into the fat man's belly. After closing the door, the two pushed the wheelbarrow toward the side door.

The wheelbarrow is also rented and can hold 10 cans of water. Qianyuan can only hold 9 cans after getting on the car. He bought two bags of water and needs to return 2 cans. One can is rented in the wheelbarrow and needs to be handed in when he returns to the village. Giving one can to the village means that one trip can only earn 5 cans of water. Qianyuan cursed him as a black heart.

But this is still the livelihood of most poor people. They take a bus every day and go to the grain store to exchange for some food, most of which is just taro.

Even so, they can barely maintain the minimum standard of survival. Therefore, although the selection age for ninjas is 10-13 years old, all poor people will send their children there as soon as they reach the age to reduce the pressure of survival. If the children are shortlisted, they can also get many rewards. .

While thinking, the two of them came to the gathering point of the water fetching team at the side entrance, and saw that the scene was chaotic for a while.

Qianyuan stood on the wheelbarrow and looked inside. A poor man who looked like a leader was kneeling in front of a Suna ninja, kowtowing and saying, "Sir, our life is not easy. The escort fee cannot be increased any more. Otherwise, we won’t be able to feed our family even in one trip.”

The bearded sand ninja strode over and kicked the poor leader: "I tried my best to escort you to the oasis to fetch water. During the dry season, you will be attacked by wild beasts every ten days. I'll charge you a few more coins." What a turn of events!”

The leader of the poor sat up from the ground in disgrace: "Sir! If you insist on doing this, I will go to Lord Kazekage to cancel the mission!"

When the bearded man got angry, he stepped forward again and kicked the leader out of his wits. "Damn it, I'm going to have my mission reward cut in half. I've been saving for three years and haven't even gotten a ninja." Technique, I don’t even have enough money to go on a mission to repair ninja tools. I tell you, even if you cancel the mission, the commission will not be refunded to you. You will have to spend another amount of money to apply for the mission again. , you should consider it yourself.”

Seeing the leader being beaten like this, everyone hurriedly gathered around and said, "Fuck it, let's hand it over, sir, please be merciful."

When the genin saw the poor people begging for mercy, he didn't want to kill him again. No one would care if no one died, but he would still be in trouble if someone died.

After the leader was helped up by everyone, he charged everyone one by one with apologetic eyes. When he got to the fat man, he bent down and bowed and said, "I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do."

The fat man patted him on the shoulder to express his understanding. He unequivocally took out a few coins, stuffed them into the leader's hand, and whispered, "If you have more, you can go home and buy some meat to make up for it."

Without waiting for the leader's reaction, he pushed the cart and lined up behind the crowd. With the help of the system, Fatty no longer cares about the small money.

After the leader collected the money and handed it to the genin, the large army prepared and set off.

While queuing up, Qianyuan listened to the conversations of people around him and learned that this genin's name was Rencha. He was almost forty years old and still a genin. He would only come out to take on simple tasks after spending all his money in the brothel, and he would extort money every time. A poor person, it is said that he got extra money today because he owed gambling debts.

After leaving the village, you still need to walk 10 miles to reach the oasis. Although there will be wild beasts watching during this period, they are mostly just hyenas and will not dare to attack the human team. Even if there are more people, you only need to escort the ninjas and cast two small ninjutsus. disperse.

The distance is not very far but it is not easy to walk. From time to time there will be sandstorms. Everyone can only huddle in place and wait for the sandstorms to pass.

After more than 3 hours of journey, we finally arrived at the oasis without any danger. Qianyuan had been staying in Fatty's car. With his physical strength well preserved, he took on the job of fetching water. Fatty lay on the edge of the lake and greedily drank the water. Qianyuan I was really worried that his belly would be burst.

Most of the hundreds of square meters of lake have dried up, leaving only a few dozen square meters. If the dry season does not pass, everyone will have no choice but to go to further oases to get water. That will be when the real danger comes.

Qianyuan was very quick with his hands and feet. He quickly filled the pots and loaded them into the car one by one. He also washed his face and fell into deep thought while looking at the slightly green and unfamiliar faces in the lake.

Not long after, the fat man interrupted Qian Yuan: "Let's go quickly, it will be dark when we reach the village."

Everyone has loaded up the car and is ready to set off. Genin Rencha is yelling at them loudly. The quick-footed man also went to dig a lot of taro in the grass, with a smile on his face.

Just when Qianyuan was about to return to Sand Hidden Village safely, the convoy ran into a little trouble and encountered two sand wolves on a narrow road ahead.

Originally, if there were only two sand wolves, there would be nothing to worry about. Sand wolves are social animals and will not attack alone. In fact, the two sand wolves also wanted to get out of the way.

"Look, wolf cub," an untimely voice came out, and the leader quickly glared at the ignorant poor man.

Genin Rencha, who was sleeping on the wheelbarrow, stood up and said, "Where are you?"

Qianyuan also looked over and saw that the two sand wolves were followed by three wolf pups. They were probably just a few months old and probably came to the oasis with their parents to drink water.

Qianyuan looked at the fat man, who understood and explained: "The big sand wolves are wild and difficult to tame, but the young wolves can be trained into ninja beasts if they are captured. A single sand wolf cub can be sold to feed the poor for a lifetime!"

Qianyuan turned back to look at Rencha. Sure enough, the genin had moved. He had jumped out of the car and stared at the sand wolf from a distance. He couldn't hide the greed in his eyes. He even reached into his ninja bag to fumble for something.

I'm afraid something is going to happen! Qianyuan was a little worried.
