……

While nodding, Mi Ying also stood up, and he quickly stacked up a pile of teacups and teapots placed on the "wooden table" in front of him and held them.

The old woman was not given a chance to react.

The old woman was also very happy when she saw Mi Ying nodding in agreement with her proposal, and then she also noticed that Mi Ying did not cover up her actions at all.

She didn't say anything, but retracted her slightly outstretched hand without a trace.

"Okay, it's getting late, follow me."

Smiling at Mi Ying, the old woman got up and walked away from the center of the village.

Mi Ying, who followed the old woman's footsteps in the next step, saw at a glance that the old woman looked a little awkward.

He stopped his steps, looked down and noticed that the old woman seemed to be walking with a limp.

It was as if the leg suffered some damage that affected the ability to move, this situation made Miying a little puzzled.

But he still didn't make a sound to ask, instead he stayed in place for a while and then continued to follow.

But the old woman was different, even if she didn't turn her head, she knew that Mi Ying behind her hadn't followed her for a while.

She also knew very well why Mi Ying didn't follow up at the first time, but instead stood there and waited for a while.

'Yes, careful child...'

The old woman slowed down her pace slightly, and after Miying came up again, she explained her leg and foot problems indifferently: "My leg was just sprained by accidentally stepping on the ground recently, it's not much. It's not those old injuries that get in the way, haha."

Mi Ying didn't reply immediately, and after waiting for a while, said softly: "En."

……

Following the old woman on the path of the village, Mi Ying found that they were getting farther and farther away, but they never left the enveloping range of the village.

But the distance is also very long. As far as Mi Ying himself judges, the distance between his and the old woman's current location and the dilapidated gazebo before has already crossed more than half of the village.

'... how far... how far is it? '

It's not that Miying is tired. After all, it's better for him to be in a remote location. In this way, it will be more convenient for him to collect things at night. At least he doesn't have to meet those gossiping villagers on the road. Otherwise, tomorrow there will be another gossip about the old lady.

It was only when Mi Ying recovered from his thoughts that he saw the ordinary wooden house at the end of the road.

The wooden building seems to have existed for some years, but there seems to be no other problems except that the appearance is a little old.

Moreover, if you look carefully, you can still see that the wooden house has some traces of repairs. Although it is a bit rough, the loopholes have been repaired anyway.

"Ah, you should have seen that, too." The old woman walked slowly, even though she was walking very slowly just now, she still had some panting: "That's my home, the location is pretty good, at least... The old man liked this place very much before.”

Mi Ying gave a "huh" as a response, it was not perfunctory, it was because he really didn't know what to say.

He looked towards the vicinity of the old woman's house.

Although the surrounding area does not have dense buildings like the village center, there are also some houses, although they are all far away.

There seems to be no one in these houses, at least not now, because neither the walls nor the yard are covered with dust, and it seems that someone takes care of them regularly, so people should still live in them, but they have not come back now. .

But to be honest, it's very quiet here, so quiet that there are not even insects chirping.

This quiet environment made the walking sounds of Mi Ying and the old woman infinitely amplified.

The old lady seemed to have become accustomed to the quiet environment around here. After she finished what she said just now, she walked to the door of her yard.

After standing still and taking a breath, the old woman slowly took out the key from her pocket.

Her gaze didn't seem very good, anyway, Mi Ying, who was standing beside her, was looking at her but failed to put the key into the keyhole in the yard after several attempts.

"Oh my, old lady, my eyesight is not very good, I can't even find the keyhole." The old woman also seemed to take this opportunity to ease the quiet atmosphere and laughed at herself in a relaxed tone. , but he didn't intend to stop the movement he was trying, nor did he seek help from Mi Ying.

Although he knew that the old woman wanted to unlock the door by herself, after watching it for a while, Mi Ying still thought about whether she should go up and help the old woman open the door.

After all, the old lady was already out of breath just now, so it would be better to sit down and rest earlier.

Just when Mi Ying was struggling, he heard the sound of a door lock opening.

"Ah, it's finally opened, um~ time is not much." The old woman pushed open the door in front of her, and turned around after making room for Mi Ying to pass through: "I've been waiting for a long time."

At the invitation of the old woman, Mi Ying walked into the yard. The environment in the yard is not bad, at least the plants planted in it are well taken care of, and there is no moth-eaten yellow or overgrown weeds at all. .

During this time, the old woman also locked the courtyard door and walked in.

After noticing that Mi Ying was looking around, the old woman was stunned for a moment before slowly saying with a smile: "My place is relatively simple, because...well, I am the only one here now, and I can't handle some things Come."

"But my old man also likes it here~"

"Okay, let's not talk about this." The old woman did not forget that Mi Ying was still holding something in her hand.

"Holding it is tiring, just put it here."

Under the leadership of the old woman, Mi Ying placed the teapot and cups on the wooden table in the yard of this room.

After putting all the things down, Mi Ying looked up at the sky, it was still early, at least it wasn't really dark yet.

Mi Ying thought for a while before saying to the old woman who wanted to invite him into the house: "I... have something to do later, I need to go out for a while, and I will come back here later."

"Is that so...then you take this one first." The old woman was a little disappointed after hearing the words, but after thinking about it, she handed Miying the bunch of keys that hadn't been put in the clothes in her hand. After seeing Mi Ying's obviously puzzled expression, she still didn't forget to explain: "Take it, it will be more convenient when you come back, and you don't need to go out to open the door, right?"

Facing the old woman's overly enthusiastic attitude, Mi Ying's mood was very complicated, and he really didn't feel any malice from the old woman.

But the old woman's reassuring attitude towards the person she just met still makes Miying feel a little uncomfortable, because this kind of person will not end well no matter where they are.

Too good to be true.

Furthermore, Mi Ying also wondered why this group of villagers treated the old woman in that way...

"Obviously it's easy to get along with..." After making an inexplicable judgment, Mi Ying put the matter behind him. He still remembered what he had always done. He didn't understand all the situations, and he didn't make judgments without authorization, at least he wouldn't say it casually. .

"I see."

After uttering the smoothest sentence, Mi Ying reached out and took the key handed over by the old lady, then turned and left the simple courtyard under her gaze.

After looking around and making sure that there was no one else nearby, Mi Ying turned around and walked into the woods on the edge of the village at an extremely fast speed.

……

Coming to the forest, it took Mi Ying himself some time to find some not-so-big wild animals from the forest, and at the same time, he also found some herbs that stopped bleeding and pain that he had discovered before and put them behind him. , he was going to take it to the old woman's house as revenge after finding everything nearby.

Because Mi Ying has the shadow cat to help him, he doesn't need to manipulate the shadow to carry those items, he just needs to let the shadow cat watch and drag them.

Anyway, the shadow cat has nothing to do now, and it is almost invisible in the dark night, wouldn't it be good to find something for the other party to do.

The above is Mi Ying's own opinion.

……

Mi Ying didn't plan to stay in this village for too long, so he could only give some help to the old woman instead of persuading the old woman to leave here, because the old woman seemed to have many opportunities to leave, but she didn't To do this, I would rather sit here and cross half the village from time to time to sit on the gazebo, plus the nostalgia and yearning that the other party shows when he mentions that "old man" from time to time...

It should be a memory or a person who is very important to her in this village.

Thinking of this, Mi Ying also has some doubts: "Maybe it is like this? '

He was not alone, and many things, including knowledge, were slowly learned from various books after he had a body.

But he still doesn't understand the specific things very well. Although he generally understands slowly according to what he reads from books, it is still a dead thing no matter how you say it, and he doesn't know how many years ago it was published. Yes there will be deviations.

Moreover, there will always be some strange changes in the books that come out after some program reviews.

After wrapping the entire hemostatic plant that he picked off in his hand with a shadow, Mi Ying threw it into the "dragged" shadow like a cloth bag behind him.

Patting the dirt on his hands, Mi Ying looked at the full "shadow bag" behind him and decided to go back now.

This amount is enough, if there is more, it will cause the old lady to be abnormal and vigilant.

Because if you take more, let’s not talk about how he took it back, just the time it took to find so much at night is enough for the old lady to worry, after all, the old lady also saw that he didn’t bring anything with him , Even when he left, he had nothing to worry about.

……

"It's almost here! Did the group of guys successfully get rid of it?"

The sudden voice coming from not far away made Mi Ying vigilant, and he instantly blended into the surrounding shadows to hide his figure, even the shadow cat dragged the "bag" and sneaked back to Mi Ying immediately. under the shadow.

This voice really startled Mi Ying, he was just looking for all kinds of materials, so he didn't notice that there were other people coming beside him.

Looking at the direction where the voice came from just now, only the male voice was louder at the beginning, and it could reach Mi Ying's ears in the silent forest, but they seemed to have discovered it later, and the voice of the voice gradually gradually increased. Pressed down to the point where he couldn't hear it from his side.

But having said that, Mi Ying could still feel the voice getting closer and closer to her side.

'Are you going to that small village? '

Mi Ying stood in the shadow of the trees thinking, and finally stood still and waited for the group of people to arrive.

It didn't take long before Mi Ying saw the faces and images of these visitors.

There were four of them, three men and one woman, and they all looked injured. The heaviest of them was the man with a lot of bandages wrapped around his abdomen, but blood was still oozing out.

The man was the most seriously injured, but the specific condition of the wound is not clear because the bandage is separated.

However, at least this man basically lost his ability to move in the eyes of Mi Ying, and the woman beside him helped him to prove this, but the most amazing thing is that even with this kind of injury, the man did not die Or coma, but still consciously cooperate with the female support.

Although these four people were more or less injured, except for the man whose abdomen was suspected to have been penetrated, the wounds of the others were only skin trauma, at least not affecting their ability to move.

"Huh?" The man being supported felt that the woman who was supporting him stopped suddenly. He looked back at the woman beside him with some doubts, and soon noticed that the woman was frowning and looking at the location of the trees beside him.

The man endured the strong pain in his body. He felt severe pain even when he spoke now, but he still squinted his eyes and looked in the direction the woman was looking at.

After confirming that there was nothing worth noting near the tree, and the woman did not say that there was a threat there, but he knew that his companion was very perceptive, so in order to attract the attention of his other teammates, and to understand The reason is that he still endured the pain in his abdomen and said softly with two short words: "Why?"

Almost immediately after he opened his mouth, the other two men noticed, and they immediately came to the side of the two and became vigilant, looking a little nervous.

"Is there something here?!" One of the men who had already taken out the knife didn't even look back, just looking at the trees in front of him, wary of possible attacks.

"No, no, it's nothing, it's probably just that I read it wrong." Seeing that her abnormal reaction caused the overreaction of her teammates who were already in a tense state, the woman immediately explained: "I just thought there There is something there, but there is nothing...Maybe it’s just that I feel wrong, because I didn’t find any traces of people or animals over there through perception.”

"...Then let's leave quickly. Although we got rid of those guys for a while, maybe they will follow!" The man who came over at the beginning and was vigilant with a knife suggested. He was on guard. He was very aware of how strong his teammate's perception ability was. Since the other party said so, it meant that there was at least half the probability that there was no one on the other side, and he also looked tired when he relaxed.

"Let's go." The man who had been silently opening the way and hadn't spoken even before he was on alert said immediately, and at the same time, he took the initiative to walk forward to open the way.

"Okay." After adjusting her body position, the woman continued to support the man in her hand, but before she left, she still turned her head and looked under the tree where there was nothing unusual, and made sure that there was no creature in that position. He turned around and followed the pace of his teammates.

After the group of four walked a little farther, Mi Ying revealed her figure from under the tree that the woman was watching just now.

He really didn't expect that the woman supporting the injured person could notice him hidden here, because this was the first time this happened.

Moreover, Mi Ying can be sure that he didn't do anything at all just now, he has kept his concealment all the time, he didn't even move, he was just watching and listening.

But he didn't pay too much attention to this matter, after all, the woman couldn't see him at all, but instinctively felt that something was wrong here.

Mi Ying had also met this type of people when she was in the library before, although most of them were women.

……

From the observation just now, Mi Ying noticed some interesting things, he looked at the direction in which this group of people went away:

'These four guys seem to come from the same place as the slug girl I met before... After all, the symbols engraved on the forehead are exactly the same. '

'They are also ninjas from Konoha Ninja Village. '

'These people were more or less injured, and even the man was so injured that he couldn't walk independently. He should have participated in a battle. Coupled with the description of the group of people just now, they didn't seem to be Instead of defeating the enemy, he fled. Now, after throwing off the enemy's pursuit, he came to this remote village on the border of the Land of Fire... to take refuge? '

'Why do these guys fight every time they meet?Troubled bunch of people. '

'It can be seen that their wounds are still oozing blood slowly, and there is no blood scab. Taking another path will not stop those "enemies" for too long. '

'Under such circumstances, would you still choose to come to a nearby village?Although even if they don't go to the village, the "enemies" who follow the trail will search the village, or do other worse things. '

'...It really is a group of people with troubles. '

After thinking about it, Mi Ying sighed, the old woman was still in the village: "It seems that I have to go back soon."

After looking at the shadow cat who was still dragging the "bag" under her feet, Mi Ying quickly left here.

In Mikage's mind, Konoha is basically equivalent to a troublemaker.

……

The author has something to say: ※※※

In fact, the matter of the old woman is very simple. She is a very good person, but because she helped others to do something but failed to do it well, then that person spread the word, and gradually the topic changed. From the very beginning From not being serious about helping, to what you did before, to breaking the family, and finally even those who were helped by the old woman and the old man, they began to say some unrealistic things to the people around them.

Because, the reputation of the old lady is already bad, and if they say a few words casually, they will be satisfied with the surprised expression of others, no matter whether the thing is true or not, as long as someone believes it?

They forgot the old woman's kindness to them and only remembered the old woman's "evil" this time.

It's like you have done good things all your life, but if there is one wrong thing, most people will hold on to it.

Your "insignificant" bad deeds are more likely to be noticed by others than your good deeds.
