naruto ninja handbook

Cold, hungry.

Never had this experience before.

Thin raindrops fell from the sky, and the dark green dense forest was shrouded in rain and fog. Although it was already bright, the surrounding light still seemed dim.

Towering giant trees rise from the ground. The trees in this forest appear huge. Some trees are even more than two meters in diameter. They have experienced a long period of time.

Bai Ming was holding a short knife with several notches and hiding in a tree hole. It was unclear whether the tree hole was natural or man-made, but it provided him with a shelter from wind and rain.

There was some wet tree wood in the other corner of the tree hole. It seemed that it was the rainy season. He had found that it had been raining almost all the time since he arrived in this area a week ago.

It was impossible to light a wet branch. He tried to light it but only got a pile of thick smoke. The moist air made his skin stick to the clothes that were probably made of burlap. The sticky feeling was very disturbing. Diaphragm response.

Although the warmth was not high, it at least prevented him from being naked and provided him with the most basic temperature protection, preventing him from freezing to death in the wild last night.

At the entrance of the tree hole are several leaf cups made of wide leaves and roots. The drizzle falling from the sky is accumulated in the leaf cups drop by drop. Compared with the puddles on the ground, Bai Ming feels that the rainwater is cleaner. a little.

After half of the water accumulated in several leaf cups was filled, Bai Ming carefully took one of the leaf cups and took out two palm-sized pieces of black and yellow dry food from his underwear. To be honest, he couldn't tell the specific material and color of the dry food. And the shape is also disgusting, like human excrement.

But no matter how disgusting it looks, it is the only precious food he currently has that can sustain his life and strength.

The direct contact with the skin made the dry food feel a little warm after taking it out, but biting into it did not change its hardness at all. It was like a dry bun he had eaten before, and it was hard and gritty. After biting into it, the taste was bitter and slightly salty. Because it was unpleasant, the taste was maximized. Bai Ming felt that it was made from some kind of wild vegetables mixed with a little grain.

Wild vegetables account for at least [-]% of this.

Because the unpalatable taste caused physiological rejection in the body, Bai Ming wanted to vomit, but Bai Ming resisted the nausea and ate the two pieces of dry food into his stomach, then quickly picked up the leaf cup and drank all the water in it.

Only when you have tasted real hunger will you truly understand the value of food.

After about ten minutes passed, the food in the body began to be digested and converted into energy to supply the body's consumption, and Bai Ming also felt a little warmth coming out of his body.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and a faint white mist formed under the cold and humid air.

The sound of the rain falling, hitting the leaves, and falling on the ground is not the natural symphony of nature that can hypnotize in the past, but makes people even more irritated.

Bai Ming felt that his heart was agitated, agitated because of his situation, and agitated by his own experiences.

He believed that he had never done any serious evil in his life. On the contrary, he did small good deeds from time to time. Although it was not worthy of praise, he should not have fallen to this level.

It's a bit bizarre based on his current experience, but it seems to be a very common thing on the Internet in the past.

It’s nothing more than time travel.

But in reality, Bai Ming already felt like he couldn't live any longer. Almost every moment, he was worried about his life safety and the unknown future.

This is a kind of insecurity that comes from the instinct of life in a strange and dangerous environment, and he has no idea of ​​​​ending his own life.

He wants to live, that's all.

This world is strange, cruel and dangerous, and he has realized this from the first day he traveled here.

In an ancient-style village, he saw a large number of human corpses, perhaps over a hundred, in addition to rescue beds.

Those corpses had formed a giant-like appearance. Each one of them swelled several times larger than before in the rain. From time to time, there were purple-black swollen and severe skin ulcers, and then black-red and dirty blood mixed with the organs or greasy rot. The intestines flowed out, and the rotten half of the eyeball fell out of the eye socket and rolled to the ground...

Bai Ming was undoubtedly crushed when he saw this scene. He was so shocked by the stench of the corpse and the disgusting scene that he vomited several times. After even vomiting out stomach acid, he realized that he had seen what the physical education teachers had done at that time. The exercise was so overwhelming.

He fled there in embarrassment, and then continued to discover the cruelty of this world.

From time to time, we see corpses lying on the roadside. The human villages we finally see are stained with blood by the vicious bandits. The burning houses cannot even be extinguished by the rain from the sky...

He finally understood one thing.

Human beings, human lives, are not valuable in this cruel world.

But fortunately, he is still alive.

The clothes, food, and dagger he was wearing were found in a village that was destroyed after the bandit attack. Of course, there were remnants of people there, but he stayed away on guard.

Relying on the few supplies he collected, he hid in this tree hole for three days. But as the food gradually consumed, he gradually understood that he could no longer hide. This tree hole was not a safe castle. He could not Always hide here and refuse contact with the outside world.

He is a normal ordinary person who can be afraid, timid, and cowardly, but after fear and timidity, he can also muster the courage to no longer be cowardly.

The past few days were actually more like a mentality adjustment for him, with all kinds of messy thoughts wildly intertwined in his mind, but in the end, he got through it and initially cut off the timidity and uneasiness in his heart.

In order to survive, let's muster up the courage first.

There is no clock, and the time cannot be calculated. It can only be judged based on the brightness. It feels like it should be around eight or nine in the morning. The rain seems to be smaller, but it has not stopped completely. Bai Ming has given up on this place where it seems to rain forever. I hope to wait until the weather clears before taking action.

Fortunately, when he was collecting supplies, he also collected a coir raincoat. He took off the coir raincoat hanging on a wooden horn in the tree hole and put it on his body, which made his body warmer.

Bai Ming took a deep breath, held the short knife and a sharpened wooden spear in his hand and left the tree hole.

Abundant rainwater allowed vegetation to grow luxuriantly and rapidly. A large number of dense ferns could be seen growing everywhere on the ground. Green vines that looked like pythons were wrapped around the tree trunks. After leaving the tree hole, Bai Ming's feet quickly became wet. Bai Ming didn't care to pick them up. The wooden spear was tapped in front of the road to be walked to explore the way.

Despite the wet and cold weather, poisonous insects and long snakes seem to never go extinct.

This tree hole was not far from the village where he first collected supplies. Through the architectural style of the village and the clothing of the locals, he initially judged that the civilization of this era was still in a period before industrial civilization had developed.

In this era, the dangers in the wild are undoubtedly more dangerous. If you go deep into the wild away from humans who may be the source of danger, you may encounter worse consequences because you get lost and lack of materials.

He walked along the memory in the direction of the village, using the notched short knife to draw marks on the trees from time to time. Compared with the possibility of unknown people discovering the symbols and finding his residence, the possibility of losing his way was worse.

He is naturally a person who does not have a strong sense of direction.

Fortunately, he was lucky. He was heading in the right direction. After walking in the woods for about ten minutes, he saw a path that had been formed over a long period of time. In addition to the footprints of pedestrians, there were also tracks left by animals pulling carts. Wheel tracks.

He carefully memorized the surrounding scenes and everything he saw after coming out. Understanding the living environment around him and having a clear understanding will undoubtedly help him live better in this world.

After discovering a road with traces of human activities, he became more cautious and no longer walked along the middle of the road. Instead, he walked along the side of the road in one direction through the trees and grass, and at the same time compared the distance he left. A little memory picture from that time.

Not long after, a village that looked ancient under the rain and fog appeared in his eyes.

Surrounding the village are some fields left traces of human cultivation, with some unknown green plants growing on them. It is a miracle that they are not waterlogged to death under the constant rain.

There were several farmers also wearing raincoats working in the fields. The village under the rain curtain seemed to have a poetic feel, but the charred black houses that were partially exposed to the field of vision completely shattered this beauty.

Bai Ming carefully hid in the grass and got closer to the village, and then observed everything inside.

There was an impulse in his heart, and he was eager to enter this gathering place that represented human society and civilization. There were warm fires, clean food, houses with no air leakage, and humans who could communicate with each other. But for the outside world, The unfamiliar uneasiness made him forcibly suppress this impulse.

He silently observed and analyzed everything he saw. The population in the village was not large. Based on the number of houses he saw, it was only about 200 people at most.

The whole village looked deserted and quiet under the rain. Most of the people he saw were adult men walking by in a hurry. Compared with the elderly and young children, they seemed to be invisible.

After watching for a longer time, he found some people in the village wearing ragged clothes hiding under the eaves of the village. They seemed to have no place of their own to live. Among them, he also saw several children about eight to ten years old. They seemed to be homeless people, because I saw a few villagers being very rude to them.

This made his expectant heart sink.

This is undoubtedly a chaotic and terrible world, but it is also conceivable that in this world where material scarcity makes it difficult for oneself to survive, how can one be kind to strangers?

He subconsciously shook the short knife in his hand, suddenly feeling enlightened.
