[Naruto] Stunning

Flower Drunken House is located in the center of Lushui Street, and it is one of the best houses for traveling girls on this No. 20 Hualiu Street.The proprietress Kano was one of the oirans in Lushui Street more than [-] years ago. It is said that a wealthy man wanted to redeem her and marry her, but was rejected.

Many women never take a step on Lushui Street in their whole lives, and they have to die alone when they are old and fading.Kanai has been persistently guarding Lushui Street for 20 years, and no one knows or understands the reason.

Kanai invited a doctor to bandage Lixiang's leg wound. The doctor had opened a medical clinic near Lushui Street for more than ten years. There was resentment on Jiaohao's face, and she kindly explained: "Little girl, listen to me. There are thousands of different fates for people, and being sold here is your fate. People, you always have to accept your fate. "

Li Xiang finally looked at him with straight eyes, and the resentment on her face did not fade, as if she squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth: "Quack doctor!"

The doctor looked as if he was being kicked by a donkey out of kindness, and he blew his beard and stared at him and said, "A little girl like you is destined to suffer a lot!"

Rika didn't want to listen to his preaching, she closed her eyes while lying on the tatami and said, "Go away."

The doctor walked away.

Ju Zi leaned close to her and whispered, "Ling Lan, Mommy-san will be angry if you make the doctor go away."

Li Xiang opened her eyes and stared at her, startling Ju Zi: "My name is Li Xiang."——What the hell lily of the valley, she doesn't have such a vulgar name, does she?

Chrysanthemum pursed her mouth and said unwillingly, "The name Lily of the Valley is so good. In summer, the yard is full of white lily-of-the-valley flowers blooming like bells, so beautiful."

Due to Kano's personal preference, the backyard of Huazui House is indeed full of lily of the valley.

Lixiang scoffed.

The back garden of Daming Mansion gathers all kinds of famous and precious flowers at home and abroad, and the garden is full of colorful and fragrant flowers. Have you ever seen such a beautiful flower scene?

The rustling autumn wind blows into the room from the window, and the red leaves fall on the tatami in a cool breeze.

Chrysanthemum took out a blanket and covered Lixiang, and gently tucked the corners of the quilt for her, and kept saying, "Do you really live in Daming Mansion, Lily of the Valley? Ah, your parents must be in Daming You work in the mansion. Have you ever met Lord Hidetoku? Don’t look at me like this, I have seen him with my own eyes! Before I was sold to Lushui Street four years ago, I was far away in my hometown Yoshida I saw Lord Hidetoku who came to inspect the fief! Ah, he looks like a very gentle adult..."

The girl was immersed in the memories of the beautiful past, her hands were clasped in front of her chest, and pink heart-shaped peach blossoms appeared in her eyes.

Really, which girl does not have a spring.

Seeing that she seemed to be eloquent when mentioning Xiude, Li Xiang turned around speechlessly.Speaking of which, four years ago, Hidetoku did leave the Daming Mansion to inspect his fief. Is that place called Yoshida... Rika doesn't quite remember.

Not to mention what happened four years ago, even four months ago, it seems like a lifetime to Li Xiang.Four months ago——she was still the mighty Princess of the Fire Country in the Daimyo Mansion, and the only thing that didn't go her way was that Konoha ninja named Hatake Kakashi dared not like her.

Chrysanthemum was still mouthing "Master Xiude", Lixiang closed her eyelids again with her back turned, curled her lips and said to herself softly like a mosquito: "Che, he is just an annoying brother..."

The annoying elder brother, the doting parents who held her in the palm of his hand—these family members who were once within reach are now so far away from her.So far away that it could only appear in her dreams, the moment she opened her eyes, happiness dissipated like white smoke from Hiruzaru Sarutobi's pipe.

Chrysanthemum thought she was asleep and left the room lightly.

Thin traces of water oozed out from the corners of the girl's eyes, wet the pillow cover unknowingly.

After several days, Lixiang continued to put on a face of "I will never go with you low, low, whores". Kano stared at her expressionlessly for a long time, smoked a cigarette and said in a deep voice: "Put her in a small dark room and starve for a few days, and then release her after she learns to behave."

The small black house is a place dedicated to detaining prostitutes who have made mistakes in the backyard of Huazui House. It is about the size of four tatami mats. There are no windows and no light can enter.Even in the daytime, as soon as the door is closed, there will be darkness inside, like a hopeless black hole that will never see the sun.

Many stubborn prostitutes were imprisoned in a small dark room for several days and couldn't help crying and begging Jia Nao to let her out.

Whether eyes are closed or open, awake or chaotic, the only companion is the darkness like a monster’s bloody mouth—compared with physical stick wounds, mental torture is easier to defeat.

Li Xiang was locked in a small dark room, and Kano ordered no one to bring her food and water.

In the middle of the night, the front yard of Huazui House was still brightly lit, and there were many cups of wine.Li Xiang, who was alone in the endless darkness, could even faintly hear the drunken bustle of male customers outside, as well as the true and false laughter of prostitutes.

Rika hated this place from the bottom of her heart.

There are very light footsteps gradually approaching the small black house, it may be a cat, or a mouse, Lixiang is completely in the mood to pay attention to it at this time.

With a slight "creak", the door of the small black room was carefully pushed open from the outside, and by the candlelight on the corridor wall, Chrysanthemum's uneasy face due to sneaking appeared in Lixiang's sight.

"Linglan, are you okay?" Juzi deliberately lowered her voice.

Lixiang ignored her.

Chrysanthemum knelt down beside her, took out the hot rice ball from her arms, and said with a sincere concern, "You haven't eaten all day today, you must be starving. Mom let them They are all receiving guests in the front room, and no one saw me coming in." Then, he held the rice ball in front of Li Xiang, blinking his eyes and urged: "Eat it quickly!"

Rika frowned and looked at her.Although she was already hungry, she didn't know what supported her to turn a blind eye to the rice balls exuding the fragrance of rice grains in front of her.

Rather than saying that he has a backbone, it would be better to say that he snorted rather capriciously: "No."

What is this kind of sympathy for her and pity for her!

Chrysanthemum was stunned, opened her eyes wide and hurriedly asked, "Why?"

Li Xiang turned her face away and ignored her.

Juzi persuaded her for a long time with a worried face, but seeing that Lixiang was still stubbornly unmoved, she was so helpless that she even cried in her voice: "Linglan, why don't you do this."

There were footsteps coming from far and near in the aisle again, Juzi hurriedly put the rice balls within Lixiang's reach, got up and ran out, and closed the door.Even if it is not locked, the door of the small black room can only be opened and closed from the outside.In Huazui House, without Kano's permission, no one would dare to let go of the people in the small black room - Kano firmly believes in this.

After a while, there was no abnormality outside, Rika sat quietly against the wall in the darkness where she could not see her fingers, not paying attention to the rice ball left by Chrysanthemum.

"Linglan, don't be against Mommy-san anymore." Juzi's voice echoed outside the door, "Mommy-san is actually a good person." As if remembering something, the girl leaned against the door and suddenly smiled.

Li Xiang didn't believe that that nasty old woman could be such a good person.

"When I was very young, my gambler father sold me to a wealthy businessman. The young master of that family had an unknown hobby - he liked to abuse young maids. I lived there as a living hell Four years ago, I finally found a chance to escape, and was sold to Dew Street together with many girls. Because my body was covered with scars from the beatings, no playgirl house was willing to buy me.”

"You must not know that if the girls transported to Dew Street cannot find a buyer, they will be left to fend for themselves. In the winter of Kitano City, even the plum blossoms will wither due to the severe cold. A helpless orphan girl, They can't survive winter."

"However, when I thought I was about to freeze to death or starve to death on the side of the road like a stray cat or dog, it was my mother who took me in. Such a beautiful person actually said to me who was looking for food in the garbage dump: 'Little devil , come with me, I will live like a girl from now on.' Then I came to the Flower Drunk House... The world is so big, and this is the only place for me."

Only when she was so hungry and tired that she was powerless, Lixiang would have such patience to listen to such a long speech, but Lixiang did not have a good impression of Kano because of this.

The Flower Drunken House is a good place for anyone, but it will definitely not be the place for the Princess of the Fire Kingdom.

"Linglan, you are so beautiful, even if Mommy-san didn't buy you, there will be other girls who buy you, and they will definitely not have Mommy-san to treat you well."

Lixiang finally remembered who was the culprit who caused her to fall into such a situation—those wandering ninjas who abducted and trafficked her, one day she would drag them out one by one!

Li Xiang in the small black room was silent, and Ju Zi outside waited for a long time but did not wait for her to speak.In the end, Juzi said softly and seriously: "Ling Lan, I'm not telling you this because I want you to pity me. Mom Sang said that friends should be honest and support each other. I just want to do this with you. friend."

Rika's eyebrows twitched.As a princess of a country, she has maids, guards, playmates, and pets, but she has never had friends.People of comparable status, such as princesses from other countries, did not call her "friends" with each other.

Rika doesn't quite understand the term "friend".

In the days in the small black room, it doesn't make any sense whether time flows or stands still.Sometimes Rika will remember certain trivial things when her consciousness is blurred——

She was still in Konoha before, and she asked the silver-haired ninja during a small chat: "There are so many orphans in Konoha, what is it that survives well?"

Please don't get me wrong, there was no malice when she asked these words, it was pure curiosity about an unfamiliar group.Even knowing that silver-haired ninjas belong to the "orphan" category, it is an extremely bad behavior for a girl who has been pampered since childhood to expose someone's scars unconsciously.

She forgot Kakashi's answer, and according to that person's character, it must have been an understatement again.Now that she suddenly remembered such a thing, Li Xiang didn't know why.

How do orphans with nothing survive and grow up well——Rika still doesn't understand.

Rika, the princess of the Fire Country, has been loved by her parents and elder brother since she was born, has an admirable status, and has inexhaustible glory and wealth, but besides these?Once she is far away from the ivory tower that has given her shelter for a long time, she will be completely reduced to nothing more than an orphan.Everything I wanted before was at my fingertips (except, of course, a certain silver-haired ninja), the only thing I lacked was the experience of gaining something by my own efforts.

Ahhh, even the Konoha ninja who yelled how much he likes a few months ago, he doesn’t really care much—probably only to the same extent as pets that come and go when they are called. .

There are many things running around in Lixiang's mind in a trance, but her body is so tired that she doesn't want to move.

At noon in the daytime, Kano opened the door of the small black room, and the sudden flood of light made Lixiang's eyes ache.At this moment, Li Xiang, with unhealed club wounds, was terribly hungry, had not seen the sun for many days, and her originally white and tender face was haggard and haggard, like a tattered puppet with broken limbs.

Kano looked at her, and slowly said, "It doesn't matter who you were before, but there can only be Lily of the Flowers in the Huazui House, is it clear?"

Abandoning her previous identity and becoming a prostitute in the Flower Drunk House, Lily of the Valley—that would be a great shame.

Li Xiang raised the corners of her mouth and sneered, her tone was somewhat resolute rather than surrender: "No, yes, yes."

Jianao stood leaning against the door frame, staring down at her for a long time, even forgot to smoke.

——Obviously forced to such a tragic situation, there was no trace of fear on his face, and the domineering arrogance in his black eyes did not fade because of the bad situation, but instead burned like a flame.

Such a person would not shed tears even if he saw the coffin—I really don’t know where such a decisive courage burst out from the body that is so weak that it looks like a flower branch that can be broken at the first fold.

If you really want to explore it, it's actually very simple-Li Xiangjiao is used to being arrogant, and she can't learn to give in and compromise to others in a short while.

The autumn sun fell on the aisle, and the light like golden yarn drew a bright dividing line at the door of the small black house.

"You have only two options now. One is to continue fighting against me, and then die here silently; the other is to be obedient, and you may find a chance to take revenge on me in the future. Choose yourself."

After Kano finished speaking, she turned around and left without hesitation, leaving the door of the small black room wide open.

The sound of water droplets hitting the stone slabs could be heard outside, maybe someone knocked over the water basin on the corridor on the second floor.

Li Xiang's whole body was shaken—if this continues, she might really die here—she was regarded as a poor-looking ordinary prostitute, buried in a corner of Lushui Street, and no one mentioned it since then. Remember.

--No!Can!by!

She doesn't want to die in such a dirty place!

She must stay alive until the people from Daming Mansion find her, and then set fire to this damned Lushui Street!

But before that, so what if I forbear for a while, what about humiliation?One day she will give back everything she has suffered!

With anger in her eyes, Lixiang gritted her teeth and stood up while leaning on the wall, and walked towards the light outside the door step by step.
