Chapter 23 Shayin Hand Ju, First Contact
After dealing with the episode, the four people went on the road again. Hua Chu looked at Kan Jiulang, who was carrying several poison bags, holding the camel with a careless face, and his heart was always hanging. Maki left the team before leaving, saying that he was dealing with something and soon caught up, so there were only three people and a team of camels at this time.
"That Kan Jiulang. Aren't you afraid if the poison bag leaks? Why don't you put it on my camel's back?" Hua Chu kindly proposed. Kan Jiulang didn't look back and said, "No. The poison bag itself is very strong and will not break so easily. Besides, the animals in the desert are very afraid of this kind of bug. If you put it on a camel, your camel may be scared and run away. I can just carry it on my back."
Hua Chu thought for a while and said, "No matter how strong it is, it will dry soon. At that time, it may not be strong or not." Kan Jiulang picked up the pot of water that had not been used up and said, "It doesn't matter. Just sprinkle some water then."
"Wait, stop first." Hua Chu got off the camel, opened the bucket carried by the second camel, and said to the puzzled hand Ju and Kan Jiulang, "Let's keep it here first. That's the same sentence. I don't care about the amount of water. You look at me like that, and you have to walk for nine days. You don't have enough water, and it's a waste.
Shou Ju said at this time, "Kan Jiulang, he is right. Just put it in." Kan Jiulang hesitated for a while, walked over and looked at the bucket full of water, and then took out the kettle and filled it. Hua Chu compared it, and the opponent Ju said, "Miss Su Ju, you can also help me get some water, otherwise it will be wasted." Suju shook his head and said, "No, my water hasn't moved much."
Hua Chu scratched his head and said, "Then let's wash our hands and face and cool down. Anyway, don't waste it. There was a lot of sand and dust all the way, and my body was full of sand. With that, he moved the bucket down, took the lead in touching Shui Chao's face, and then said to the two people, "It's so comfortable. I'm going to blow the wind. After you finish it and put the bucket away, we'll continue to walk. With that, he turned to the other side of the camel.
Looking at Hua Chu enjoying his face not far away, Kan Jiulang smiled and said, "Shou Ju, he has gone far away. Wash your face. It's all dust." Shuju hesitated to look at Hua Chu in the distance. Seeing that he didn't care about himself at all, he gritted his teeth and walked over.
Put your hands in the water, and a coolness surged all over your body. Shuju couldn't help it any more. She carefully held the water on her face and carefully soaked it in water along her cheeks. After that, she held a little water in her mouth. Looking at the water that fell into the sand and was gone in a blink of an eye, Suju was a little distressed, so he took out his kettle and filled it.
Looking at the wooden bucket with a large piece of water missing, Kan Jiulang checked every opening again. After confirming that it was fastened, he carefully put it into the bucket. The water was full when it was full.
Sealed the bucket, Kan Jiulang moved it back to its original place, patted the bucket and said, "This bucket is really good. After walking for a day, the water hidden in it is still very cold. This bucket is worth a lot of time.
Hand Ju wiped the water stains on his face and looked at the folded Hua Chu and said in his heart, "What a strange guy."
The three of them continued on the road. It didn't take long for it to get dark. Maki also rushed back, and several people found a flat place to prepare for camping.
Kan Jiulang was sent out to find something that could be ignited, while Maki was on guard at a high level, while Hua Chu and Suju were setting up a tent.
Hua Chu is well prepared to go out this time, and also prepared two tents, one big and one small. Naturally, the small ones are left for the handju. After being busy for a while, two tents were set up. Hua Chu looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, and his opponent Ju said, "Okay. Now I assign tents. This big one is for the three of us, and this small one is for you.
Shuju guessed it when he got the tent, but he stayed for a while. There is nothing unusual about this kind of distribution now.
Before long, Kan Jiulang came back with dead branches. Hand Ju skillfully made a fire. Hua Chu found a few stones, set up the iron pot, then took out two cans of meat, took out the fist-sized pickled meat inside, and watched them in a daze. Seeing the embarrassment of Hua Chu, he took the pickled meat, took out a small knife and cut it into small pieces and put it into the pot. Hua Chu put some other accessories and then cooked the broth.
The fire is very strong, and the broth quickly gives off an attractive aroma. Hua Chu took out the cutlery again, handed it to everyone and said, "I've collected it myself. This is the only one for everyone." With that, he took the lead in serving a bowl, took out the prepared dry food and had a simple dinner.
Generally speaking, in the task, the ninjas provide food and accommodation by the employer. Of course, the ninja will prepare it themselves, but they will never refuse to provide it by the employer. Unless the conditions are not allowed, the ninja will eat and live with the employer in the task.
After dinner, several people are ready to rest. In this dark, quiet and cold desert, Huachu had no entertainment, so he simply ran to the tent to rest. Maki arranged the order of vigil, which were Kan Jiulang, Shouju and Maki.
Hua Chu slept in the tent for a long time and then woke up. Then he saw that there were two other people in the tent, and he knew that it was his turn to watch the night. Hua Chu couldn't sleep when he woke up, so he walked out of the tent to chat with Suju.
Out of the tent, there was no one beside the fire. Hua Chu looked at the sand dunes high, then touched the tent and took his robe, picked up a kettle he had put there by the fire, and took out something from the camel, and walked gently on the sand dunes. Then in the moonlight, Hua Chu found that Suju was distracted in the direction of Shayin Village.
Walking over, Hua Chu put his robe on Shouju and said, "Why don't you guard the fire? It's very cold here!" Suju looked up at Hua Chu and said, "Thank you. I want to sit here for a while. Hua Chu sat down one meter away from Suju and handed the things in his hand to Suju. As a result, it turned out to be a sealed apple.
Hua Chu opened the kettle again, poured a cup of hot stuff and handed it to Suju. Hand Ju put down the apple, took it and smelled it. He asked, "Tofu soup?" Hua Chu nodded and said, "Hmm. It was done before departure and poured into the water.
"Thank you." He said with a small mouthful of tofu soup.
The two of them sat like this, and no one spoke.
From time to time, Hua Chu looked at a rare lady's handju through the moonlight. The girl who easily killed several dead intestinal worms during the day left a deep impression on Hua Chu, especially her dance-like posture, which could not be scattered in Hua Chu's mind.
It seemed to notice the strangeness of Hua Chu, and gradually the hand Ju was a little uncomfortable: "Hey, what are you looking at?" Hua Chu held her chin and replied, "Look at you. Looking at it, I found that you are actually very cute. Compared with the hypocritical smile during the day, I still like to see you as you are now.
"What are you talking about!" Suju was a little embarrassed and angry. I don't know if it was because Hua Chu said that his smile was hypocritical, but the anger felt very fake.
"Talk about people." Hua Chu made a grimace and said that he took out a piece of dried meat and threw it into his mouth and chewed it.
"Hey." Suju couldn't help talking. Hua Chu turned his head and said, "My name is Hua Chu." The handju choked and then said, "Hua Chu. In fact, you are also a ninja!" Hua Chu said curiously, "Why do you think so? Am I dressed like a ninja?"
"No." Suju shook his head slightly and said, "During the day, I saw your bitterness. You were going to take action at that time, right? Hua Chu was silent, but did not deny it. Shuju continued, "At that time, I just realized that there was a danger approaching. You were ready to take action, and it was only a little slower than Mr. Maki. Such a sense of danger and your extraordinary coping ability. Before leaving, I also heard Maki tell the truth about the flow of chakras in you. In addition, I saw your bitterness, so I guess you may be a ninja, but I don't know which village you are from.
"Ninja." Hua Chu put his head on his head and sighed, "To be honest, I don't know if I'm a ninja or not. I dropped out of school after studying at the ninja school for more than a year. After that, I left the village and worshipped a very powerful ninja as a master. I studied with her for three years. I just graduated from the ninja school a few months ago, and then I wandered around by myself, and then found Shayin Village. To be honest, I don't know if I'm a ninja or not. What do you think?
Shou Ju thought for a while and said, "I think it should be counted." Although you didn't join the village, you have been practicing ninjas. I think you should be a ninja, but a wandering ninja.
"A wandering ninja is also a ninja. In this case, I can answer your question. I'm a ninja." Hua Chu got up and said.
"Then why don't you join the village and leave? Also, since you are a ninja, why do you hire a ninja? I've never seen a ninja like you. Hand Ju said. Hua Chu took a look at Suju and said slowly, "What's good about joining the village? Even if I don't join the village, I am also a ninja. Besides, if you really join a village, how can you be so free now? How can I hire you to lead the way for me?
"Ninjas without village protection will be much more dangerous, and there are enough resources to help you improve your strength. Since you are a wandering ninja, you have no affiliation. Why don't you join Shayin Village and join Makiban? Hand Ju's eyes flashed and tried to send an invitation.
"Ha ha." Hua Chu smiled and said, "After I joined Shayin Village, can you refund me the money I spent on the previous task?" They are all of our own, so you don't have to charge!!" Hand Ju looked at Hua Chu helplessly and said, "I can't."
"That's it. Wandering ninjas are also very good. At least like now, if there is anything that can't be solved, just hire ninjas to help. Today, I am in the Kingdom of Sand, and I can hire you ninjas from Shayin Village. Tomorrow, when I go to the Kingdom of Fire, I can hire ninjas from Muye Village. If I go to the Kingdom of Thunder the day after tomorrow, I can ask the ninjas in Yunyin Village to protect me. As long as I have enough money, I can even invite ninjas from the five major countries to play mahjong together. Yes, how can I come up with this smart idea to bring people from the five major countries together to play mahjong!"
Looking at Hua Chu with a bad smile, a black line appeared on his face, interrupting Hua Chu's fantasy: "It's impossible. In the same task, as long as the ninjas of one country take over, the ninjas of other countries will not intervene. Your idea can't be realized.
"That's it. It's a pity." Hua Chu looked sorry and then said, "But I think there should be a possibility of operation. I'll try again when I have time."
"Idiot." Seeing that Hua Chu is about to burn again, Suju's face turned black. Hua Chu didn't look back and said, "Idiot is an idiot. I don't have an IQ of up to 200 like Shikamaru. It's enough.
"Shikamaru? Who is Shikamaru? Your friend?" Hand Ju heard that Hua Chu had admiration for this person and said curiously. Hua Chu said to herself, "It's over, it's a spoiler again." But looking at Suju's curious face, Hua Chu had to continue to say, "Ah. This Luwan is a friend in my previous village. He is a first grade younger than me, but he is very smart, but he is too lazy and his strength is sloppy. But don't underestimate this lazy guy. If he wants to trick you, he will probably succeed.
"Oh." Suju pressed the idea of asking which village Hua Chu came from, and then asked something else: "Hua Chu, is not afraid that the family is worried about this person running out?" Hua Chu looked up at the night sky and said, "They won't worry. Well, they are looking at me now!"
Hua Chu is talking about his parents he has never seen in this life. In the last life, he was also a single-parent family. His mother died when he was three years old, and his second mother also died unexpectedly when he was ten years old. According to this world, whether it is the parents who died for the sake of this world to protect him, or the gentle mother who did not have much memory and died unexpectedly in her previous life, they have now turned into stars to live in another world, watching their children guard his growth in the sky.
"I'm sorry." Suju didn't expect Hua Chu to be like this, so he quickly apologized. Hua Chu waved his hand and said, "It's okay. It's been a long time."
"It's time to change shifts later. I'll go back first. Be careful not to catch a cold." Hua Chu stood up, patted his buttocks, turned around and walked away, putting the warm tofu soup next to Suju.
"Wait." Shouju suddenly stopped Hua Chu and said, "That. I saw what was in the tent. Thank you."
Hua Chu turned around and waved his hand and left gracefully.
