Konoha Hypocrite

The sun sets in the west.

The men who were hunting returned to the village with nothing.

Although there are many wild beasts in the primeval forests of this era, the wisdom of these wild beasts has been improved due to the influence of the power of nature.

The most basic thing is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

In addition, the village by the river has existed for hundreds of years, and most of the wild animals nearby have been captured.

Those who go out to hunt can only go farther.

We also have to avoid places where monsters are found by our ancestors with their lives.

So it takes ten days and a half to catch a prey.

Fortunately, the beasts of this world are usually quite large.

In addition, these hunters do not purely hunt, but also collect edible fruits and wild vegetables in the forest.

It was enough for a village to survive, and there was even some leftover.

The slanting sunlight shines on the simple steps made of logs.

Xiaojiao sat on the steps, silently looking at the mountains in the distance.

From time to time, a silly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Time passed bit by bit, and soon, night fell.

The boy's silly smile also disappeared, and a little anxiety and expectation appeared on his face.

"Crunch, crunch, crunch..."

The sound of footsteps on the wooden board sounded behind him.

"Get some rest early, it's yours, you can't run away."

A middle-aged man with tanned skin, burly build, bare arms and an animal skin wrapped around his waist came to sit next to Xiaojiao.

He handed over a piece of meat blackened by smoke and motioned for Xiaojiao to eat it.

Xiaojiao took the hard piece of meat, took a few bites hard, and said sadly while chewing:

"I was wondering if I talked too much during the day."

The middle-aged man next to him is Xiaojiao's father, the village chief, and recognized as the strongest man: Dajiao.

If introduced to people from other villages, it would be Dajiao by the river.

By the river, Big Horn blocked Little Horn's shoulders with his thick arms and said in the tone of a person who has been there:

"Don't think about it all day long. Getting out of the mountains and becoming a great warrior is your ultimate goal.

Women are just tools used to continue your bloodline. "

Obviously, Xiaojiao, who was still a teenager, did not agree with his father's words. He lowered his head and said stubbornly:

“I never used small fish as tools.

I'm not like you, who spends the whole night with other women after getting married, leaving my mother alone.

When your mother died in childbirth, you didn’t even have time to see her for the last time. "

If this kind of thing were left to future generations, father and son would definitely have turned against each other long ago.

But in this era and in this village, this is obviously not a big deal.

But seeing that there was no trace of embarrassment or guilt on Dajiao's face by the river, he grinned and said with a slightly embarrassed smile:

"I can't help myself. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. The more I should take the initiative to bear more."

Xiaojiao glanced secretly. Every time his father went to a different woman's room, he was always very positive.

Dajiao by the river looked at his son's expression, but he wasn't angry at all.

There is no way, those women gave him nothing but tools. He only has one son, and he will need to rely on him to support him in the future. How can I do it without coaxing him.

Seeing that it was getting late, Big Horn by the river gently patted Little Horn on the shoulder, stood up leisurely, and said with some meaning:

"You are still too young. If I were you, I would have gone up the mountain to find her."

Xiaojiao glanced sideways at his father who stood up and saw that his father's hair was still a little wet. Apparently he went to take a bath in the river as soon as he returned to the village.

He understood something immediately and said calmly:

"You assigned yourself again."

Dajiao by the river nodded with an honest smile, and said a little shyly:

"Daying's husband was bitten to death by a wild beast the day before yesterday, and I stopped by to comfort her.

You also know that there are few men in the village, so everyone has heavier responsibilities.

This time it was my turn again, and it was really hard to refuse.

You can't give her to young people like you. "

"When you grow up, you will understand me."

After saying that, he rubbed Xiaojiao's hair, turned around and walked impatiently towards a room in the village.

Xiaojiao looked back, and could still vaguely hear the sobbing coming from that room.

After Riverside Big Horn entered the house, the sobbing in the house suddenly stopped and became quiet.

I guess Aunt Daying is very sad now, and it would be nice for her father to comfort her.

"Alas~"

Xiaojiao sighed helplessly, then turned his head and continued to stare at the mountains in the distance in a daze.

But after Dajiao's persuasion and explanation by the river, Xiaojiao felt a little restless in his heart.

It was already dark, so she shouldn't be in danger.

If you think about it carefully, your father's suggestion is not completely unreasonable.

As a man, I should be more proactive and tougher.

"I'd better go find her in case anything happens."

Xiaojiao muttered something, appeased his conscience, stood up and disappeared into the vast night.

He did not follow the river.

After all, the river is winding and winding, so there is no way to go directly through the jungle.

The moon is very round and bright tonight.

Although the dense forest is dim, for Xiaojiao who lives here all year round, it is not much different from daytime.

It's even clearer than when it's foggy during the day.

Because it is too close to the village, there are basically no animals in this jungle that are big enough to fit between teeth.

The pale moonlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, and it seemed to have a very cold mood.

But now Xiaojiao's heart is burning.

To sum up Xiaojiao's psychological activities at this time in one sentence, it would be to indulge in meat.

Just when Xiaojiao reached the foot of the mountain and was about to grab the vines to climb up, a strange sound came from the jungle on the other side.

"Lah, haha..."

It's a bit like the sound of a mouse grinding its teeth, but much harsher.

what sound?

Xiaojiao raised his eyebrows slightly and walked straight towards the source of the sound.

It would be nice to catch a little guy along the way to replenish the body of the fish.

Because no one usually walks in the jungle on this side, there are many weeds, which completely blocks Xiaojiao's view.

In order to avoid scaring away the prey, Xiaojiao could only quietly push aside the weeds in front of him bit by bit before moving forward.

Suddenly, the sound of grinding teeth stopped.

Xiaojiao knew that he had aroused the other party's alert, so he immediately stopped hiding and rushed forward.

The next moment, a numb, dull, bloodless face came into view.

Between the two of them, only a few sparse strands of weeds were still swaying stubbornly.

Xiaojiao was startled, but in an instant he recognized the person in front of him, and breathed out lightly and said:

"Xiaoyu, what are you doing?"

However, after seeing Xiaojiao, Xiaoyu, who looked numb, tilted his head in confusion.

His eyes gradually widened, looking extremely frightened.

He turned around and pounced on the ground, his limbs like spider legs, crawling towards the jungle, screaming: "Man...man!"

"Little fish!"

Xiaojiao shouted and chased forward, but he stepped on something and his body staggered.

Fortunately, he was very skilled, so he didn't fall down and continued to chase the small fish.

But when I left here, I looked back.

A branch as thick as an arm lay quietly on the ground.

There were several gaps on the branches, which looked like they had been eaten by small fish.

The little fish on all fours ran away in panic, as if they were very afraid of the little horn behind them.

Xiao Jiao is a male, and his physical instincts are stronger than those of females.

In addition, the small fish uses all four limbs together, so it cannot run as fast as its two feet.

Soon, Xiaojiao pounced on Xiaoyu and controlled it.

Looking at the frightened Xiaoyu, Xiaojiao ignored his body's instinctive reaction and yelled at Xiaoyu: "It's me, don't you recognize me?"

After yelling several times, Xiaoyu seemed to recognize Xiaojiao, and his resistance gradually weakened, but he still kept mumbling.

"Man...the mountain..."

Xiaojiao frowned. He didn't understand what was going on with Xiaoyu's abnormal situation, and was worried that he was sick.

We can only take the other party back to the village first and let the experienced aunts in the village take a look.
