[Hokage] Terukawa

What's in the box...?

I carefully glanced at the two small wooden boxes placed on the cabinet in the corner by the righteous people—square and square, the whole body is simple brown-black, simple and plain looking, but the red string tied on them And the faint fragrance it exudes makes it so exquisite that it completely seduces my curiosity.

"It's indeed a good gift for you, and I chose it carefully, but it can only be opened after dinner." The righteous man raised his eyebrows, chewing a mouthful of rice, "This is the rule."

……

I turned my head to look at Zhizi, according to Zhizi's style of paying attention to etiquette all the time, I guess her next sentence is "No gossip is allowed during the meal".

I noticed that the righteous man's facial muscles twitched - oh well, it seems that he has realized that something is wrong.

But it's no use, it's too late.I smiled in my heart, Righteous Man, although I can’t say enough about you now, I can use the rules reasonably (?), and it’s time to give you some color...

"Zhaohe, try this." The smile on my face that was not fully stretched was destroyed by a piece of fish that was suddenly stuffed into my mouth. After I turned my eyes, I saw Zhizi smiling... and a piece of meat on her wrist. That dainty bracelet that appeared there at some point—I can swear to that poor kunai under the plank, there's absolutely no such thing on her wrist until the return of the Righteous.

Me: "..." I don't know why, I'm obviously the one who was stuffed with fish meat, but I feel like I've been shown off... Is it intentional?

Well, this is probably love.

I don’t know if it was my illusion, but after this little episode, I always felt that the smile on the righteous man’s face became more obvious. Besides, there seemed to be a mysterious sweetness in the air.

……Um?Righteous man, did he glance at me just now?And what's up with that grinning expression? ? ?

Illusion... Does this seem like something a mature adult would do?

I thought to myself, not like that.

Then let's think about the question from another angle: Should a righteous person be classified as a "mature adult"?

The life of infants and toddlers in the past three years gave me the answer very early. I thought it was a good evaluation for me to write "to be determined", and the facts later proved that there was nothing wrong with the answer I gave.

After Dongming imitated me and took a bite of fish meat, the expression of restrained laughter on Yiren's face was simply suffocating. I could only see his finger move, and there was more in the small bowl in front of me. A large piece of fish, and then he turned his head and explained to Zhizi with a smile: "If Zhaohe eats more fish now, he will definitely be smarter in the future."

Oriko gave him a sideways look, and finally nodded with a smile.

So Dongming also nodded: "Yeah!"

Me: "..." Forget about the two of them, Dongming, do you really understand what's going on in front of you?If you don’t know, what are you doing? Hey! ?

At this moment, I deeply realized the importance of growing up quickly. After all, life told me that children really have no human rights.

Fortunately, Zhizi's craftsmanship is really great.

I keep an eye on the fish in the bowl——

Grow up quickly, start by killing the fish in the bowl.

After dinner, the righteous man really fulfilled his promise. In front of Dongming and me, he unwrapped the red string and opened the box. Then he squeezed out two burnt brown strings with his fingers—— One black and one white, two hook jades about the size of the belly of a thumb were tied to the ends of the two strings. I couldn't see the engraved patterns on them in the dim light, but I could see the bright reflection of the light source staying at the turning point .

He first carefully adjusted the length of the string, and then hung it around our respective necks for us. Finally, he carefully put the gouyu into our collars, and then he raised his head and met our puzzled eyes with his eyes. .

"These two hooked jade...Although they don't seem to be anything special, I hope they can be useful. To be precise, I went to the shrine to ask for them half a year ago...well, it was the witches in the shrine who treated me Said that these two Gouyu are in pairs, if there are two children in the family, it will bring good luck."

A few words to explain clearly, is really a concise introduction.

I really didn't expect it to be this kind of lucky item.

I tilted my head and looked at him.

In a rare turn of events, the father-of-two doesn't look quite as out of place now as he usually does.When he said those few words, he sat cross-legged on the tatami (in this respect, Oriko never forced us to maintain a kneeling posture), his collar was not neatly arranged, and he looked a bit dusty and messy. Not only was his back not as straight as when he was standing, but he supported his thighs with his elbows and his chin with his palms.He tilted his head slightly, smiling warmly and leisurely, his clean eyebrows were divided into light and dark by the evening light from the window, and the evening weather rendered a faint warm light on his gray-blue iris.

It looks like a big cat lounging down to bask in the sun.

"Like it?" he asked.

Undoubtedly, both Dongming and I gave him an affirmative answer - the exquisite appearance and color of the artwork need not be said, but on the other hand - although we don't know what the so-called good luck buff is. It’s true or false, but I know that as long as it contains this level of meaning, then I have no reason not to like it—the ancients in the previous life would be praised as giving a goose feather, but who would? Do you dislike such a burning heart?

The only thing that makes me feel a little dissatisfied is that I think the old shrine is too stingy.You must know that the righteous man is a winner in life who has a wife and children on the kang (?) after returning home. If the righteous man and Zhizi can each get a jade, then the pattern of our family (?) will be different, even You can also take a common name, I think it is a good idea to call it "good luck to F4 (?)."

——However, I know that if I don't want to have the bridge of my nose scratched and my forehead bumped by a righteous person, I can't speak out these silly thoughts... I just turn around in my mind a few times and complain.But at the same time, I have also prepared my own score, that is, when I am a little older and able to go down the mountain by myself, I will go to that shrine and get acquainted with the priestess, maybe it will further promote "good luck to F4" Since then, he has lived a life as white as a beluga.

When the moon hangs in the east, I have almost finished observing my black hook jade. Zhizi raised her hand and turned off the light in the hall-this is a hint that we have reached the time to sleep, and those futures that have time to sway The excess energy should be saved until tomorrow.

Out of concern for our safety, even though I have repeatedly stated that "even if I sleep alone, there is no problem", the two adults in the family still did not arrange a special room for me in this room. small bed.

"Dongming, take care of your brother when you sleep at night, don't let him roll straight under the bed like a ball..." Yiren winked at Dongming, "Of course, you too."

I:? ? ?Except for the last sentence, I can't agree with the others.

Who would roll under the bed like a ball!You just rolled under the bed like a ball!

Obviously I was careful not to be kicked off the bed by Dongming, okay? That is a big killer that can unconsciously put the body into a "big" shape in sleep and rotate 360 ​​degrees without pressure!

I am wronged, but I know that even if I tell them they will not reply _(:3)∠)_.

I checked the colored night light by the bed, and after confirming that it was still able to glow normally, I climbed to bed and lay down, and then quietly let my mind go under the quilt, playing with the newly acquired Gouyu in my hand.What I have to say is that it feels moist and delicate, and the tentacles are warm, and the feeling of rubbing between the fingers is really good.

After a while, Dongming also climbed onto the bed. He rubbed my hair, said "good night" in a low voice, and fell asleep peacefully.But I stayed awake for a while miraculously, because I always felt like I forgot something... what was it?

I rolled my eyes in the dark, and with a random glance, I saw the night light with only a little outline illuminated by the moonlight in the dark.

night light...

Speaking of which, the little night light actually has a story.

About a month or two ago, this night light in the shape of a sunflower was given to me by Oriko as a gift after returning from a trip—after getting used to the situation where the gift often changes drastically, I calmly pressed the switch Observation, I found that it emits a light red light, and it will change color one by one if you press it again. It seems that it is not much different from those decorative LED lights in the previous life-this has successfully aroused my interest in this world. Another round of complaints - how anti-human is the operation that only needs to press the switch to light up without plugging in the power supply!And obviously there are electric lights, but they don’t even have the same most basic telephone and TV, and at this time, tell me the cruel fact that there are no power plugs in this world... Could it be that those devices rely on the human body’s magnetic field to cut magnets? Is the sense line generating electricity? ? ?

With an extremely complicated mood, I suddenly remembered that my dear brother has the setting of being afraid of the dark... So by accident (even now, I don’t know exactly what I was trying to do at the time), I He placed the night light at the head of the bed—a place within reach whenever Dongming's sleeping position was slightly normal.

So after a few nights in peace, a new storm (?) finally appeared.

One night, I was awakened by a sudden muffled noise, and when I opened my eyes in a daze, I saw Dong Ming was holding a crooked bench with both hands... I think it was the sound made by this thing that woke me up I.If you take a closer look, you can see that Dong Ming's expression is a bit uneasy, a pair of watery blue eyes are wide open looking at me, like a kitten who accidentally smashed a vase while jumping.As for the complexion... there is no complexion, if you insist on saying it, it is probably the color of the night light, and the complexion is the same color.

Under the magical lighting effect provided by the night light, Dongming and I kept a strange posture and kept silent, only letting our eyes meet each other through the gaudy lights.

"I just wanted to relieve myself, I didn't kick the bench on purpose... Zhaohe, did I wake you up?" He lowered his voice very low, like a hesitant and guilty cat.

My mind turned for a while... It's all right now, and the sleepiness is cleared.

Would you believe me if I said that I was just sleepwalking with my eyes open and staring at you while sleepwalking?

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes and got out of bed: "Put down the bench, and... accompany me to the bathroom."

"Accompany you?" He slowly followed up, making an expression of sudden understanding, "Oh, are you also...?"

also……?

Also your size.

I finally couldn't help rolling my eyes in the dark: I'm afraid of the dark or something... It's all happened when I was a child in my previous life.I even remember the solution at that time clearly - as long as I sing the theme song of "Doraemon" seriously, this is the reason for the so-called "singing and courage", which comes from The crystallization of the wisdom of the working people.When I grew up, I was even less afraid, and gradually I only remembered the melody of the theme song.

"You're thinking too much, I just want you to help me watch the road," I reached out and grabbed his sleeve, "I don't want to be like you... I kicked over countless benches along the way, jingling. "

In fact, I can understand even if he doesn't say anything, no matter how weak he is, he is still a gifted child who has been trained as a ninja since he was three years old.I remember he used to talk to me before I showed my ability to remember things, and there was a mention of some strange substance called "chakra"...well, maybe not a substance .Although the three or four-year-old him didn't say much about it, you can still vaguely deduce from just a few words that it seems to be the foundation of some kind of display... well, superpowers.

With Chakra by his side, wouldn't Dongming accidentally kick over the bench?Give me a break.

It was nothing more than being frightened by the night light of the second stage (?) and then bumped into the bench, but refused to tell the truth out of some strange psychology.

Tsk tsk tsk, awkward kid.

But what suffocates me the most and at the same time is the most incomprehensible thing is that after my conscience found out that I took the initiative to put away the strange night light whose use effect can be called a group of demons, Dong Ming turned it out and put it back on the bedside. He also refused to say the reason, but just said it dryly to make it look good.

Me: "..." Okay, I understand.

In this regard, it is impossible to speak frankly. It is impossible to speak frankly in this life.You can't break it without breaking it. Only by letting you guess this kind of thing can you maintain your life like this.

↑It should be like this.

What did I say?Brother heart, sea needle.

So the night light whose reflection effect can be called a group of demons dancing wildly has been kept at our bedside until today.

After recalling it, I still don't remember what I forgot... It's embarrassing, but I don't think that even if I remembered, I wouldn't get up in the middle of the night to finish that matter. From this point of view It's better to go straight to sleep.

I turned my head slightly to look at Dongming's face—probably because of the hard training during the day, he always falls asleep quickly, but he hasn't started doing the tiring plane rotation exercise yet.Dong Ming was lying on his side facing the side with the window, his hair was slightly curly and slightly long, but at least it didn't look too messy, and the dim starlight and moonlight slightly illuminated his face——it looked obvious. Baby fat.The eyelashes are slightly curled and long enough to cast a fan-shaped shadow on his face under the eyes.

This is his rare peaceful sleeping face.

I'm ready to move.

——Come on, Dongming, let me count how many eyelashes you have!
