After walking in the forest for a few days, Rina finally found a small town in front of her, but places with people are also dangerous for her. Wearing a large coat, Rina pulled the hood on the back to cover half of her face .

Xie's Feiliuhu was too conspicuous, so he didn't hide in the Feiliuhu, but walked beside Rina with his real body. When the two of them walked into the town, although they were not too eye-catching, there was still something interesting. Few people looked at them a few more times.

"The scorpion is finally free from the scarlet scorpion, and finally I won't be mistaken for the uncle's abducted loli."

"..." Scorpion pulled up his hat, covering his conspicuous wine red hair.

When she came to a place where there are people, the first thing Rina wanted to do was to eat. It was really painful to live in the forest for so long eating wild fruit barbecue. She really liked the place where there were people. normal meals.

The town is located in the country of Kawa, sandwiched between Konoha and sand. There is also a ninja village called Gu, but it is a weak ninja village. It is usually attached to the country of fire, and Konoha is often needed to help.

Hearing Xie say that Gu Ninja Village is still some distance away from this small town, Rina felt relieved. At least the possibility of being recognized in this small town is much smaller. If it is safe, she will settle here temporarily.

Sitting in the lively small restaurant, and finally eating the meal she had been dreaming of, Rina covered her cheeks and showed a dreamy expression, "This is probably the happiest moment in my 12 years."

"..." Xie rolled his eyes, "Your happiness comes so easily."

Rina stretched out a finger in front of Scorpion, with a serious expression on her face, "Scorpion, in such a hard life like mine, you must learn to be content." As she spoke, Rina waggled her finger and raised the corners of her mouth Yang smiled, "But Xie is as miserable as I am now."

Seeing Rina's smile, Scorpion just ate the food in the bowl in silence, Rina was right about one thing, the food here was indeed delicious.

After eating and drinking enough, Rina excitedly took Xie to go shopping. The town is not as bustling as Konoha, but there are quite a lot of shops selling all kinds of gadgets. Reluctant, still following Rina and watching her run in and out of one store after another.

Although I don't understand why she is so keen on looking at those boring products, but they have been in a state of tension for a long time, and it is not impossible to relax occasionally.

Rina looked at the commercial street that was coming to an end in front of her, and then looked back at the small shop in front of her. There were some fruits of different colors on the shelves. It was obvious that this was a fruit shop.

Picking up a white spherical fruit with great interest, Rina turned her head and asked the scorpion behind her, "Do you know what this is?"

Before Xie could open his mouth, a gentle voice came in, "That's preserved fruit, a specialty of our country of Sichuan, do you want to try it?"

Rina's smile froze on her mouth, and she slowly turned her head to look at the person who spoke. After seeing her face clearly, Rina's body trembled uncontrollably, and her heart beat violently.

The familiar face has been seen many times in the dream, black soft long hair, eyes looking at her with a gentle smile, the years seem to have left no trace on her face, it is still ten years ago, will be gentle The look of the man touching her head.

As soon as Rina let go of her hand, the white preserved fruit had already fallen to the ground.

"Mother?"

The person in front of her showed a slightly puzzled expression, but still smiled gently, and picked up the preserved fruit she had dropped on the ground.

"I'm sorry, did the little girl admit the wrong person?"

The corner of the man's mouth was twitching into a smile, and his words were full of strange feelings.

"No, you are..." Rina took a step forward, her tone was a little eager, she knew that her expression of shock and disbelief was ridiculous, but the strange reaction of that person made her feel a sharp pain in her heart stand up.

"Well, if I have such a big daughter, I will definitely not forget it, right." The man wiped the dirty fruit in his hand, and turned his head to go into the house.

"Wait a minute!" Rina panicked, and was about to catch up, but was grabbed by the wrist.

"Calm down." She heard Scorpion's low and suppressed voice.

Rina took a few quick breaths, clenched her hands tightly, raised her head and said, "Excuse me, what's your name?"

The man looked at Rina's expression of expectation and despair, and tilted his head incomprehensibly, "My name is Yumi, Kawasaki Yumi."

"... Kawasaki... Yumi?" A huge sense of loss spread, Rina took a step back, looked down at the ground, her hood and long hair blocked her face, "Sorry, I probably... made a mistake. "

"It's okay." Yumi touched Rina's head, glanced at the white preserved fruit in her hand, and handed it to her, "I'll give this to you to eat."

Rina raised her head in a daze, the feeling and temperature of Yumi touching her head was exactly the same as that of Mizuki ten years ago.

Scorpion and Rina did not go far, but stayed in the small hotel opposite Yumi's shop. From the window of the room on the second floor, you could clearly see Yumi's busy figure. Liang Guo, just stared blankly at the man who was busy in the store.

Scorpion walked into the room, put the ninja tools for Rina on the table, walked up to her, and looked at Yumi following her gaze.

"what happened?"

"She, looks like my mother..." Rina's expression changed, and she frowned, "No, I'm sure she is my mother, but she doesn't remember me."

"Didn't your parents both die, when you were two years old?" Scorpion knew about Rina's past, and when Payne gave him the task of monitoring, he gave him a general introduction.

"It's dead," Rina tightened her hand on the window lattice, "But, I didn't see the dead body back then."

She was only told that her parents had died during the mission, and the last thing she saw was the broken forehead of her parents and the two names on the memorial tablet.

"If in doubt, go and investigate."

Xie suggested that she investigate, and she did so, but the final result made her even more confused. Almost everyone insisted that Yumi had lived here since she was a child.

How could this be?

Could it be that she was wrong?

Rina was lying on the window sill and looking at Yumi who was arranging the fruits. The more she observed her like this, the more she felt that she was more similar to her former mother, whether it was her tone of voice, her actions, or her habits.

No matter how similar two people are, it is impossible to be so similar.

After Yumi placed the fruit, she suddenly raised her head to look at her, but Rina didn't react, and the eyes of the two collided unexpectedly.

"Uh..." Rina froze for a moment, looking away in a panic, but Yumi smiled and waved to her from the corner of the eye.

Somewhat awkwardly, she raised her hand and waved at her twice. Seeing Yumi's crooked eyes, Rina suddenly felt warm in her heart.

That's it, whether she is Mizuki or not, as long as she looks at her like this, Rina can feel as if Mizuki is still alive.

With that experience of saying hello, Rina no longer peeked at Yumi evasively, she gradually started staring at Yumi in a fair and honest way, and Yumi was not dissatisfied with her excessive staring, and would still talk to her if she had time Say hello with a wave.

The two of them didn't say a word, but they seemed to have found a tacit way of getting along in this kind of staring.

Scorpion sealed the puppet into the scroll, packed up his things, and walked to Rina's room.Opening the bedroom door, Rina was nowhere to be seen.Scorpion went back to the table in the outer room and sat cross-legged as usual, waiting for her to come back.

Rina occasionally disappears these days, and Scorpion has discovered this a long time ago, and the place where she disappeared is no other place, it is Yumi's house. Not long ago, Rina plucked up the courage to buy a souvenir for the first time and knocked on Yumi's house. After the door, there is a second time, a third time.

Scorpion can understand Rina's desire for her parents, just like the "father" and "mother" he made back then, even if this Yumi is not her mother, she can still make her feel the warmth of her mother.

The door was pushed open abruptly, and Rina ran in with an oiled paper bag, "Scorpion, I bought red bean cakes." Then, Rina squatted in front of him, looked at him with bright eyes and said, "Let's go to Yumi's house to play. ~"

Scorpion was silent for a while, then nodded silently.
