Red Dust

Autumn is deep, and at night in the country of wind, the cold wind that swept up the sand, and the whistling sound like the roar of a beast came one after another.

In summer, it's hot enough, and on cool days, the desert at night freezes to death.

Even the sand ninjas who are used to it feel very uncomfortable when the dry wind blows on the skin, and the Konoha ninjas who are still in the country of wind are not used to it.

Every year when there is a lot of wind and sand, men, women and children in Shayin Village will apply a little moisturizing oil, otherwise, after a day, the corners of the mouth will crack and it will hurt to eat.

Especially the little girl who loves beauty, will not neglect to take care of her skin.

The scorching sun in the Land of Winds during the day is still vicious, turning most of the female sand ninja's skin into a healthy bronze color, but there are also many beautiful girls with natural beauty, good skin, and no sunburn.

Such an environment also provides many opportunities for businessmen in Shayin Village to make money, especially foreign businessmen, who will bring some high-quality and cheap skin care products for sale. Although the unit price is not high, the demand is large. , the profits are also very high.

It's a pity that this year, speculators who were hoping to make a fortune miscalculated.

After the successful development of the South Coast, the price of seafood in Shayin Village has plummeted, indirectly making some inflated necessities no longer so elusive, and luxury goods that are rarely consumed once in a few years. On festive days, gritted teeth can bear it.

In particular, the whaling and other industries that have just started, as well as related marine fisheries, provide a large amount of animal fat, or edible, or high-grade skin care products for cooking, and even ambergris, whale oil for oil lamps, etc. The rare high-quality goods have gradually become popular among the powerhouses with a little wealth in Shayin Village.

The low-level civilians didn't feel it deeply, and the upper-level people in the village clearly felt the changes around them.

To put it bluntly, in the environment of the Land of Wind, even if you have money, you can't find a place to spend, especially in Shayin Village. In the past, because of the great pressure of war, we had to fully tap the potential and use puppet art as the basis. The representative war machines are developing rapidly, but the private economy is almost stagnant, not to mention self-sufficiency, there is no decent handicraft industry, and all activities have to revolve around ninja services. For example, Daimaru's mother has run a laundry shop for more than ten years.

Now, with the improved external environment, Shayin Village has begun to try to change the attitude of killing high pressure in the past and become more open and compatible with different life modes.

Of course, in the entire Shayin Village, there is no one who can understand this subtle change. Even Daimaru can only do some push-hands in a high-profile manner to relieve the living pressure of most of the civilians in the village.

Hunger and cold, lack of food and clothing, and other things are naturally impossible to talk about. Children who have been malnourished since childhood are so weak that they can't even pass the entrance exam for the ninja school.

But now, the situation has improved a lot. Gaara, who was walking home, was delighted to see that there were still open stores welcoming customers on both sides of the road.

In the past, in Shayin Village, where all industries were sluggish, the wind and sand were a little bigger, the sky was getting dark, there were no people on the road, and the houses were closed.

A few minutes later, Gaara, who came to the door of the house, knocked on the door lightly, and without waiting to welcome guests inside, he opened the door with the key and walked in.

After changing into household slippers and walking through the entrance, he saw Kankuro casually flipping through the newspaper, with a cup of hot tea on the coffee table in front of him.

Looking up at Gaara who came back, Kankuro's posture didn't change.

"Come back? The food is still hot, and there are cold drinks in the refrigerator..."

"Ok!"

Nodding calmly, Gaara took out the dinner she had prepared for herself, sat at the dining table and ate it on her own.

They can still maintain a business-like attitude outside. After returning home, Temari is not there, and the way the two get along is quite strange.

To say that they are unfamiliar is not enough. In fact, the relationship between the two of them is quite harmonious, even if they get along with each other like ordinary family members, they always feel very awkward.

Gaara is not a talkative person, a "home" puppet master whose communication skills are on the pass line, and he doesn't know how to deal with his younger brother.

When he first became the purpose of the fifth generation of wind shadows, Gaara often lived in the house of wind shadows.

As the "shadow" of a village, it means that the village is the home. The core of power in Konoha Village is called the Hokage House. The sandyin village, which basically copied the regulations of Konoha Village, naturally also calls the administrative center the House of Fengying. .

After Gaara gained a little foothold and didn't need to eat and live at Fengying's House, he would come back from time to time to spend time with his brothers and sisters.

Although there is a wordless embarrassment, the two brothers seem to be used to this way of getting along, and there is nothing restraint.

Of course, at this time, you need to brush the presence of Temari at home from time to time.

I don't know how long it took to get rid of the traces of wind and sun on her face, the blond eldest sister came out with a small pot of unknown plant, looking at its lush leaves, it seemed Just watered.

"What is it this time?"

Kankuro watched Temari happily place the potted seedlings on the terrace outside the window.

"The bottle tree..."

"baffling!"

Kankuro made a nasal sound that he didn't know what to call, and stopped paying attention.

The day before yesterday, I stared at the green plant said to be called the traveler's banana for a long time, and forgot to prepare dinner, which made the three brothers and sisters hungry for a long time.

Five days ago, I brought back two pots of bulbous flower plants that tasted great...what are they called "heathers".

The strange smell in the house has not yet dissipated.

"What's strange?"

Temari said nonchalantly,

"The bottle tree has a strong water storage capacity, the traveler banana absorbs water and fixes sand, and the heather is evergreen in all seasons, with strong vitality, easy to survive, and will be of great use in the future..."

The above three kinds of plants are all selected by Daimaru after ripening with wood dungeons. Several green plants with similar properties to the plant of the same name in the previous life were selected. With the addition of black pine, which is windproof, nitrogen-fixing and alkali-resistant, Daimaru intends to improve the vicinity of Awaji Village to a slightly more suitable location. A little savanna.

With this as the goal, with a few suitable plants, let the south coast establish a preliminary biome, and then think of other ways to extend northward in an oasis mode, until a series of land transfer stations leading to Sandyin Village are established.

When the time is right, we will see if we can get the big names to pay for the establishment of a railway line connecting the north and the south.

It's a little difficult, but always try.

Relying on the members of the air combat unit to transport luxury goods to make small profits, it is always a small business. Only a railway line with a large carrying capacity and high efficiency can support the long-distance transportation of bulk goods, so that the sandy village and the south coast can truly be transported. connected into a whole.

Although it is still in the development stage of the road and blue thread, there are some things that have to be planned.

Chapter 0485

Compared to Kankuro who was slightly concerned about the eldest sister's recent abnormal behavior, Gaara was indifferent.

Nominally the highest leader in Shayin Village, but when he returns home, he is not a character who insists on one word.

"What's the use... Daimaru told you?"

Kankuro took a sip of the hot tea, changed into a comfortable posture, and continued to read the newspaper to pass the time,

"It's only him who thinks about these things all day long..."

As a ninja, with so much "useless" knowledge, it's probably Daimaru.

At least until now, Kankuro has not met anyone more knowledgeable than Daimaru.Although most of the fields are discussed in general terms, there is always something to be said, and it does not seem to be ignorant.

The fact is also true, if it wasn't for the ninjutsu that gave Daimaru the ability to realize his whimsical ideas, the messy knowledge could not be realized at all.

Kankuro, who was spending his vacation lazily, and Temari, who was absent-minded, chatted one after another, and Gaara, who had hurriedly finished dinner, suddenly asked:

"Kankuro, what have you been busy with recently? The Shadow Guard seems to be looking for someone, is it your order?"

"Ok!"

Kankuro was startled, and then he realized that, as the direct leader of the Shadow Guard, how could Gaara know nothing about the actions of Kankuro and the others?

"Daimaru asked me to help find someone, it's almost time to have a look..."

"That's it!"

Gaara hesitated for a while, and did not continue to ask. Originally, it should be more effective to find himself as the fifth generation of Kazekage, but Daimaru acted so cautiously, indicating that he is not suitable to intervene.

Although he cares a little about the characters that Daimaru misses, he still has some concerns about Kankuro's actions in private.

Although not deliberately concealed, but also did not tell the truth.

"Who knows what he wants to do? It's just a little effort anyway..."

Kankuro said in a relaxed manner.

If it wasn't for the conviction that Daimaru had no ill intentions, Kankuro wouldn't be so concerned.

After Temari took care of some trivial matters, he complained to his two younger brothers with some dissatisfaction:

"When you get home, don't talk about business! Can't you talk about something light?"

"Then what?"

Kankuro pouted,

"Last week, the way you walked back with a bouquet of sunflowers was seen by many people. Now there are rumors about you and Daimaru fighting each other hotly..."

"How can it be so exaggerated..."

Temari blushed slightly, and argued strongly,

"It's just some interest exchanges about ornamental plants! Now the village is a lot more lively, and there are many more people who have nothing to do and eat and drink..."

"Maybe!"

Kankuro put down the newspaper, yawned and walked to his room.

The three brothers and sisters get along with each other in a somewhat tacit sense. Basically, they don't talk much about other people's sensitive private lives.

"I don't know how long everyone can live under one roof..."

With a bang, the door was closed, and Kankuro's meaningful emotion came to an abrupt end.

"Ridiculous……"

Temari's mouth twitched, wanting to give Kankuro some color to show him more respect for the majestic elder sister.

But the blonde girl who didn't know what to say finally suppressed her dissatisfaction, turned her head and said to Gaara:

"Do you also think that my sister is in charge too much?"

Gaara was noncommittal and said:

"I'm going out for a walk! I made an appointment for a gymnastics instructor later, and Zi Luo is waiting for me..."

Saying that, Gaara wiped her mouth, put on light clothes, pushed the door and walked out.

"One or two, it's all like this..."

Temari was a little angry, and muttered helplessly, looking back at the furnishings in the room,

"There seems to be more and more things related to Daimaru..."

The mother Jialuluo, who died young, the three brothers and sisters have no deep impression of her. Yashamaru has also been dead for several years. Apart from the father Luosha, who rarely comes home, it can affect the life of the three brothers and sisters. A big influence, probably only the cheeky guy Daimaru.

"Unconsciously, our family's involvement with Daimaru is getting deeper and deeper!"

How long can the status of the eldest sister be maintained?

In the past, the three brothers and sisters seldom considered this issue, but no matter what, everyone will always grow up. No one can say what this family will become in the future, but Kankuro and Gaara have been vaguely aware of it. Realize that when they grow up, they will one day walk out of this home and face a wider world.

……

After everything was settled, the day when Konoha Ninja returned to the village was not far away.
