[Comprehensive] Mirror of Death and Life

The creek parallel to the road is sparkling in the sun, and it is extremely clear when you get closer. The stones and aquatic plants at the bottom of the water are clear. The stones are all washed smooth by the water flow, and the lines are clearly visible.I poured a handful of water on my face with my hands, and the heat suddenly dissipated. The cold water flowed down my cheeks and slipped into my sweaty clothes, which made me let out a huff.Looking back at the team, it should be that Her Royal Highness is about to get out of the bullock cart. Everyone is circling around her, and no one pays attention to her.I simply took off my shirt and wiped my body with water.

As a result, Hui was more excited than I was when he saw my actions, and yelled and ran behind me to block other people's sight for me.

This guy would definitely not help me so simply, as expected Hui pointed at my nose and shouted: "Why did you take off your clothes all of a sudden!"

I didn't know why, so I cut off a small piece of rough cloth from the cloak with a knife and soaked it in the stream, and squinted at him: "Otherwise, how can you be happy?"

Hui blushed, and waved his hands above his head: "But, but what if His Royal Highness accidentally saw it?!"

It turned out to be the reason, and I couldn't help laughing at him: "It's okay, isn't there still you."

I didn't expect him to say you bastard, but he actually stood there motionless and blocked the whole process for me. Even when I got dressed and motioned for him to come, he refused.

Hui looked at Xiaoxi and hesitated for a moment, with obvious longing on his face.After struggling for a while, I finally gave up: "Forget it... I'm not very hot..."

I looked at the streaks of sweat running down his face, his flushed cheeks and neck.The dust was flying all the way, and mixed with sweat, it looked like mud covered his face, and his face was blurred with gray, yellow and yellow like swamp sludge, only revealing a pair of clear black eyes shining brightly.

"What, what are you doing?" Hui couldn't help taking a step back.

This boy is so handsome, maybe he will really be liked by the princess.I thought casually, and was amused by my own thought again, and threw the coarse cloth in my hand to Hui's face: "Wipe your face, it's so dirty."

When walking back, he couldn't help but think of Hui's inexplicable expectations for Her Royal Highness. He wondered if he had heard too many stories. He really believed in the love between the princess and the ninja in those stories.

There are not many books in this era, and most ninjas use scrolls to record information.There is only one other kind of book that frequently appears in the lives of ordinary people.This kind of book is usually only the size of a palm, and it is full of gossip articles. The content ranges from war legends to romantic love to power struggles. The length is similar to short stories, and it is designed for people to read in their spare time.

However, due to frequent wars in various places, many civilians have no guarantee of life and no chance to learn to read and write. In order to prevent the loss of such customers, a new profession has emerged.This kind of people will read these books by themselves, and then turn the stories in the books into spoken language, usually telling them in hotels and restaurants, and charging passers-by for listening to the books.

Hui likes to listen to these stories, and often when he is not in a hurry to perform a task, he will finish listening to a story before leaving.In the story, the princess will never marry the right family son, but will always fall in love with a samurai or ninja or a commoner, and after twists and turns, the lovers will finally get married.The princess must be beautiful and charming, gentle and virtuous, the hero must be handsome and handsome, start humble and become famous later, and the two must live happily together in the end.In my opinion, it is all a routine, but there are always some people who never tire of hearing it and believe it, such as fools like Teru Uchiha.

"Jing, Hui, where did you two go?" Yazhi's voice brought me back to my senses. As a ninja, she was supposed to protect the princess personally, but now she was standing in front of me holding a lacquer box.I saw that smooth wooden box filled with exquisite rice balls, and I knew it was not for ninjas.

"This is from Her Highness the Princess." Yazhi didn't bother with the question just now, and gave the lacquer box under my nose.In order to hide her identity, she was wearing a kimono, and her hair was coiled up with flower hairpins. She looked no different from ordinary aristocratic women, and she was even prettier than them.I praised this sentence sincerely, but unexpectedly, Yazhi blushed, stuffed the lunch box into my arms, left a sentence, and then turned around and ran away with small steps.

Feeling like I accidentally teased my sister, I scratched my hair and sighed, decided not to think about it, and turned to greet Hui for dinner.Unexpectedly, when I turned my head, I saw him staring at the rice ball with a strange expression on his face, like shyness, joy, or anticipation?

"It was given to us by Her Highness the Princess... Ah, has my name already reached the ears of Her Highness the Princess? This is really huh!" Hui held his neck, jumping up and down red-faced, choking half to death.

I picked up another rice ball with a blank expression, this time I stuffed it into my mouth, the rice was crystal clear, the seaweed was crispy and crispy, and there was a plum wrapped in it, which was sweet and sour. It is completely different from the one that has deteriorated after a few days.Not only the shape is different, but the taste is also very different.

Hui did not taste the deliciousness of this kind of rice ball at all, he managed to swallow the food in his throat, and just after taking a breath, he shouted at me: "Do you want to kill me!"

He chewed and swallowed the new rice ball leisurely. Well, this time it was wrapped with salmon roe. It’s amazing. It hasn’t deteriorated after walking for so many days. I don’t know what kind of black technology was used. These nobles will really enjoy it. .

I licked my lips, looked at his eyes, and saw that he was alive and full of energy, so I knew there was no problem: "If you choke to death on a rice ball like this, go to hell." I smiled at him, "History The first Uchiha who was choked to death, congratulations on your passing down the ages."

Hui twitched the corners of his mouth. At first he wanted to argue with me, but he glanced down and found that the small lacquer box was half empty. You are too cunning! You actually want to swallow the gift Her Highness the Princess gave us!"

He and I happened to be growing up, and we were trying our best to grow up. Three meals a day were not too much, and our stomachs would often growl when we walked.After walking so far today, I was already starving, and the rice balls were much more delicious than Bingliang Wan, so I was immediately overwhelmed.

The ninjas next to us were quite close to us. Seeing that we both drew out our weapons and started fighting, we quickly retreated three thousand miles to give us the place.The boring journey finally had some turmoil, and they were also very excited, just watching from a distance, and shouting hello from time to time.Hui and I almost showed them a good show for free before eating.

Soon other people were also attracted by the movement here, and more and more people gathered around. This time, there were not only ninjas but also warriors, and even a few nobles.

He Hui was playing well, when a figure fell from the sky and pushed us one by one into the soil.My whole body was buried, and only one head could move. When I looked up, Makoto Uchiha's face was horribly dark, and he lowered his head and smiled darkly at me: "I lost face in front of the Hyuga clan, huh?"

As soon as I heard him hum, I knew it was not good.Anyway, I have been his student for eight years. I know that this person values ​​Uchiha's reputation the most in his life. When he gets angry, he will show the smile he is now.

"I was wrong." The hero didn't take advantage of the immediate loss, I immediately apologized, and glanced to the side, and sure enough, I found many pairs of white eyes looking at this side.

It seems... I accidentally played it off... I secretly complained.

Makoto Uchiha's next line vindicated my instincts: "If an apology works, what do you need a ninja for?"

Ten minutes later, I was walking on the road profusely with sweat, carrying more than ten kilograms of supplies on my back.These troublesome nobles have to prepare a lot of things for sleeping outside at night. Apart from the tent, the heaviest thing is the blanket material. The princess alone has two or three sets, and now they are all on my back.Originally, there was a special bullock cart to pull the load, but unfortunately I pissed Makoto Uchiha. He said that even if he was performing a mission, he could not pull it off, and forced me to increase the load, so that I have now fallen into such a miserable situation. There is also a difficult brother Teru Uchiha, who is like me, carrying a package of about the same size, and the two of them walk like snails in the team, which is very conspicuous.

But what annoys me is that I am exhausted, but my brother who should have shared weal and woe has a happy smile on his face.I can tell by the way he is smiling all over his face and pink flowers are blooming in the background, Hui doesn't pay attention to the weight on his back at all, he is so light that he is almost going to heaven!

This state happened after he returned the lunch box to Yazhi, and now I am extremely regretful that I would have gone if I knew it earlier, and I let Hui pass because I was afraid that Yazhi would blush again by accident.As a result, after he went there, he was abnormal when he came back. After I asked repeatedly, he finally let go: it turned out that he saw the beautiful princess!

In fact, it is very inaccurate to say that we met, who is Her Royal Highness, what are our identities, that is to say a word through the curtain.But it was this sentence that made Hui Cong smirk after he came back and said now, Her Royal Highness said: "Thanks for your hard work, I heard that the Uchiha clan is very powerful." I think this is a normal greeting, and it belongs to the nonsense category. .We have worked very hard, and the Uchiha clan is very powerful, what do you need to say?

But Hui doesn't think so, he thinks Her Royal Highness is so kind and beautiful, so considerate, and I have heard of his (Uchiha) name!The most important thing is that when he returned the lunch box to Yazhi, he could vaguely see the face of the person sitting inside through the opened curtain.

Hui described to me that this princess of the Fire Kingdom has a beautiful face, with snowy skin, ink-like hair, a pointed chin, and a noble temperament.I saw that he was full of stars and was noncommittal. They all said that beauty is in the eye of a beholder, and sometimes beauty can also be seen in the eyes of an idiot.

It's nothing at all, it's just that he looks so happy now, which makes me very unhappy.Both of them were punished, why I was so tired here, but he didn't feel it, the mouthful of the princess, the princess, I almost kicked his ass and kicked him into the bullock cart—— Let him get close to His Highness the Princess.It's a pity that reason stopped me at the end, making it impossible for me to kick my last kick.

Taking a deep breath, I told myself to be calm...

"Ah, Her Royal Highness is so beautiful, just like the legendary Kaguya Princess."

No, I still can't calm down.

I laughed at Hui, and said to him word by word: "Say one more word, Your Highness, believe it or not, I'll kill you."

Hui was clever, and the dreamlike expression on his face receded like a tide. He stared at me with a look of horror: "Jing, Jing... your expression is so scary..."

Why do I think it's your idiot towards the princess that is more terrifying, I can't help but slander.

At this moment, the two of us heard the whistle from the front team at the same time: "Attention, enemy attack! Enemy attack! Protect Your Royal Highness!"
