Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

Amazing……

A few minutes later, Chiba and Hirohiko blinked your eyes and I blinked, sitting side by side at the door of the house, looking after the bonfire, the boiling pork soup and the pheasant soup that was simmering to keep it hot.

But the eyes of the two of them at this moment were not in this tempting broth, but they both tried their best to look back, looking at the figures of the two girls sitting on the bed, and let out a heartfelt cry.

Just now, when Qianqiu threw himself into Xue Nai's arms, and cried again with a wow, the two of them were so scared that they almost jumped up, almost jumped up, and then they were pushed by Xue Nai's disgust. Went to see the bonfire.

On the other hand, Xue Nai stroked Qian Qiu's head, hugged her gently, and comforted Qian Qiu with a warm and reassuring voice that the two of them had never heard before, making her cry.

Just now, no! Now, in their eyes, there is a Xue Nai they have never seen before.

Gentle, warm and reassuring.

This is something that the two of them will never have, and it belongs to the unique temperament of girls, like elder sister, like mother...

Xue Nai at this moment suddenly made them feel reliable!

Although in the battle, Xue Nai gave them the feeling of reliability, but this feeling of reliability is different from the current feeling of reliability.

The former kind of reliability is the kind of reliability that can be delivered from behind, but now, this is a kind of reliability that they can't explain clearly, but this kind of reliability makes them feel warm and at ease.

As if, back home, a haven where you can escape from everything.

Now, Qianqiu, who was helpless, seemed to feel this kind of reliability, the sound of sobbing was slowly weakening, and the whole person seemed to feel relieved, buried in Xue Nai's arms.

On the other hand, Xue Nai was humming a soft tune softly, gently stroking Qian Qiu's head with her hands, straightening her somewhat messy hair.

I always feel...Xue Nai has a different kind of strength.

Seeing this scene and Qianqiu who was comforted, the corners of Qianye's mouth raised involuntarily, and then he turned his face away, looking at the boiling meat broth overflowing with aroma, his face slowly sank.

At the same time, Hong Yan's eyes also turned back, silently glanced at the sky outside the door, and the gloomy night outside the window by the table, but heard the sound of rain.

"when!"

The drops of water dripping from the leaks in the roof hit the abandoned rusty iron cans on the floor of the house, making a rather loud noise.

Then, two, three... Gradually, the sound of water droplets hitting the metal pot became more and more loud.

"It's raining heavily..."

Hirohiko opened his mouth.

"Um!"

Chiba nodded, and glanced at the sky outside, a gust of wind with water vapor blew in, causing the bonfire to sway, reflecting Chiba's face even more dignified.

At this time, Xue Nai who was stroking Qianqiu's hair also took a look here.

"Are you still holding on?"

Hirohiko spoke again, with a little helplessness in his tone.

Just now, Qianqiu was crying in Xue Nai's arms, saying "I want to stay", "I want to wait for Dad here", "Dad will definitely come to pick up Qianqiu", "Dad will definitely I will find my mother and come to Qianqiu." Such words.

These words undoubtedly made their hearts even heavier.

A five or six-year-old girl who doesn't know how to survive, lives on moldy bread and ration pills, lives in a dilapidated house in a war zone, wears tattered clothes that have long been indistinguishable in color, and even has shoes on her feet None, this is already a very worrying thing.

And when she learned that the little girl was waiting for her father and mother, and the father and mother might have died in the flames of war, this "worry" became heavy.

"Moldy bread, a large number of military ration pills, and Qianqiu's clothes and body frailty, it can be inferred that her father left at least one and a half to two months ago, or even two or three months ago. Three months ago, during the period of intensive fighting between the three parties, there was an 80% chance that her father was dead. And, according to her words, her mother was either taken away or died too."

Chiba lowered her voice and said something, but she didn't answer Hirohiko's words directly.

After the words fell, Hongyan frowned slightly, and murmured in his heart.

Chiba...

"Don't worry, Xiao Qianqiu is already asleep, if you have anything to say, feel free to say it!"

And at this time, at some point, Xue Nai had already come behind them, and on the bed, Qian Qiu had already fallen asleep curled up, and Xue Nai covered her with the thick quilt that Hong Yan brought back from the hospital.

It is still raining at night, and the temperature is still quite low after autumn.

"If we give up, Qianqiu is basically waiting to die."

Xue Nai sat down beside Chiba, and stirred the pork soup in front of her with a wooden spoon, and at this moment, Chiba spoke.

In his eyes, there was a brilliance of thinking.

"Then, shall we take her away while she is asleep?" Xue Nai said.

"If you have to take her back to the village, that's the only way to do it." Hong Yan also said.

"No!"

However, Qianye shook her head, denying their thoughts.

"What can you do?"

After hearing Qianye's denial, the two looked at Qianye at the same time and asked.

"Now my injury still needs to be recuperated. It seems to be safe here. Although Xue Nai has woken up, but to be on the safe side, I will take care of it. After all, it is a loss of vitality. It is not suitable to hurry now. Moreover, Yunyin and Yan Yin also knows that we are bound to return directly to Konoha all the way. Although we have not found this place, they will set up an ambush at a place where they think they may intercept us and stop us. Rehabilitate here for a period of time." Chiba said.

"Um……"

Hearing this, Xue Nai and Hirohiko nodded, they also thought of this.

"As for Qianqiu, since she has lived in such a harsh environment for so long and has to wait for her father's stubbornness and stubbornness, as well as her inability to let go of her father, even if we take her away, she will not leave with us, she will definitely find ways to come back , even if we bring her back to the village, she will escape and come back here. Moreover, we are fleeing after all, if Qianqiu does not cooperate, we will be in danger."

Chiba said again.

"Then what do you mean?"

Xue Nai and Hirohiko looked at each other, frowning slightly.

"If Qianqiu doesn't cooperate, we won't be able to take her away safely, and even put us in danger." Qianye frowned and closed her eyes.

"Then what do you mean... let Qianqiu be like this?"

Xue Nai frowned.

"Qianqiu staying here alone...I don't agree."

Hirohiko also said.

"We have to keep Qianqiu here, even if we say her parents are dead, she won't believe it. We have no way to persuade her to leave."

Chiba took a slight breath.

"But……"

Xue Nai and Hirohiko obviously objected.

"but!"

But at this moment, Qianye's eyes suddenly opened, interrupting their words.

"We can change her waiting to die, in any way we can!"

To change her waiting to die?

How can we do it?

Xue Nai and Hirohiko were taken aback at the same time.
