[Naruto] Survival Records of the Warring States Period

After the boss came back, your worries were eliminated from the source. In addition, you may have shared some words with Miss Keiko to share your pressure. After two days of rest, you felt much better. The hallucinations you had that day never appeared again, and you also Gradually feel relieved.

The weather has been getting colder day by day recently. Now that you have returned home to rest, your mother took the opportunity to measure the heights of you and your two younger brothers and sisters one by one, and said that she would make you bigger winter coats.

Children grow up quickly, and with the recent eating habits, you have all moved up a lot. Your sleeves have become a lot shorter, and more than half of your forearms are exposed. Your arms are a little red from the cold.

The happiest time of the day is when you are holding a bowl and drinking medicine. You hold the hot bowl to keep warm and sip the medicine in small sips, reluctant to drink it all.

Taro and Acai became very interested in the dark concoction you drank. They gathered around you to try it, but you wandered around the room to avoid it.

After you had some free time, you randomly checked the learning results of the two children. The results were so bad that your forehead ached, but they laughed so happily that you couldn't even vent your anger.

Yumi came to see you, saw you holding medicine, and asked what ailed you. You said you just had a headache and it would be fine after taking medicine.

She didn't ask any more questions after hearing this, and told you that she was going to try again for the castle's maid selection.

Although you knew that this was Yumi's goal, you were still stunned when you heard that she was really going to leave.

"That's great," you turned the bowl in your hand. The rough bowl walls gave off a distinct frosted feel when turning, which brought you back to your senses. You smiled and looked at Yumi, "When are you going?"

"We'll go tomorrow," Yumi's eyes curled up with a smile, "It's better to do this as soon as possible, otherwise you won't be able to let it go."

You think about it, I wish her success in the end.

After Yumi left, you sat beside Yuan in a daze.

A Cai lay on your back, feeling warm from the heat that a child is born with. She pulled your hair and asked your sister why she didn't speak.

You tried to lift her off, but A Cai was too tight. You gave up after trying a few times, and then told her, "Someone is leaving again."

"Who is it?" A Cai asked, "Sister?"

You answer her: "It's sister Yumi from next door."

A Cai continued to toss your hair: "Fortunately, my sister is not leaving."

You said nothing and looked at the wall in the yard that separated you from Yumi's house.

On the other side of the wall, a tree with all its leaves missing stood in the corner, with a few lonely dead branches covered with frost.

There was a knock on the door at this time.

Mom is working outside, you go and open the door. An adult man with one hand missing stood at the door, with a long and hideous scar on his face. He carried a large box behind him and stood upright, receiving vague glances from other houses.

"What's going on?" You asked, closing the door behind you.

The man deftly took off the box behind him and put it aside. He took out a folded letter and asked, "Where is your mother?"

You stretched out your hand: "Is it a letter from mom? Just give it to me. Mom has gone shopping and will be back soon."

The man fell silent.

He squatted down with a very serious expression on his face. He put the letter in your hand: "This is from your father. You must give it to your mother."

You looked down at the letter in your hand. The weight in your hand was far more than just a piece of paper, and there were other things wrapped in it.

You clenched the letter in your hand.

It's thin and not heavy, but it feels heavy in your hand.

"Did dad say when he will come home?" you asked again.

The man didn't speak. He stood up slowly, put the box behind him again, and walked away step by step.

You opened the door, and both Taro and Acai looked at you and asked you who was outside.

You put the letter on the box and tell them it's the messenger.

"Whose letter is it?" Taro asked curiously.

"It's a letter to mother, please don't touch it."

You stopped Taro who was curious about the letter and went to find the paper and ink you bought earlier.

-Find something else to distract yourself.

You remember Miss Keiko’s advice.

Intense, complex and indistinguishable emotions surge in your chest.

You desperately want to vent your emotions, but when your eyes fall on the off-white paper, you find that your mind is blank.

"Sister, what do you want to write?"

You heard A Cai ask you.

Taro ran over, and he also asked: "Is it the story before? There are many stories about eating."

"I want to write..." You didn't say the rest of the words, but a voice in your heart answered you.

——I want to write about my hometown, the world that belongs to me.

At this moment, you feel a sense of loneliness that you cannot talk about: perhaps throughout your life, you will look at your hometown in this world and miss the mountains, water, people and things in another world.
