Ninja Ice House

At this time of year, the weather is no longer very cold, and the indoor temperature is still around 20 degrees, which is relatively comfortable.

Looking at the second girl's shoulders, back and thighs, which were obviously different in color from the surrounding areas, Hongye couldn't help but show a distressed expression.

"The first cry of a newborn baby has not gone far away, and he was immediately stabbed several times. The first disaster in the little guy's life must have come too early."

"She is lucky, but her two younger sisters will have to work hard."

"Can they really be saved?"

Gusugi Bushui told Hongye the general situation, which made her feel a little uncomfortable when she was still in a weak stage.

"Essentially, it is a congenital deficiency. If we just let the two of them survive, it is okay. The Gushan family has accumulated for thousands of years, and there are still some amazing treasures in the inventory. As long as they don't die on the spot, any means of hanging their lives can be used.

There are several kinds. The problem is that it is very difficult for them to grow up smoothly and live a normal life."

The Gushan family, which has a large family and a large business, has no problem raising two "little princesses" who are born with severe disabilities and cannot take care of themselves. But such a future is really cruel to them.

Since she came into this world, she is the de facto daughter of two people. As a father, he must consider their future.

"Sorry, I'm not good enough."

Hongye sighed with some remorse.

Although it is cruel to have two children stillborn, I feel extremely sad when I think about their future, where even a minimum survival is a luxury.

"I want to meet them."

"No, at least it's not the time now. When the time is right, I will reunite them with their families. Now, we have to take into account the possible criticism. I personally don't care. You and the children may not be able to bear it."

The level of ignorance of people in the world will sometimes be beyond imagination.

Although it is rare for three sisters who share the same egg to have a parasitic fetus, it is not a big deal. But if someone spreads some bad things to achieve an ulterior purpose, it is not

So easy to handle.

For example, half-truths and half-false claims were made that Hu Meizi, who seduced Major Governor Gushan, had revealed her true form, gave birth to a monster, and was secretly hidden. All of these are vicious rumors that cannot be falsified.

The key to the problem is not whether the matter is true or false, but that people with little knowledge are willing to believe in bizarre events that are out of the norm, hate the rich and the gap in status, and are also willing to see the nobles make fools of themselves.

If it comes to the point where mother and daughter need to prove their innocence, then Gu Shan Bushui, the husband and father, will have failed too much.

"Okay, I'm afraid it will be even worse if I see them."

Hongye nodded reluctantly and agreed,

"I hope we can see each other soon. By the way, the head of the family... and the master, what are you going to say?"

"My parents, let me explain. Don't worry too much. I will take care of it. They are waiting for news in the side hall. I will take my second daughter over there. You can rest first."

It's not that they don't want to come, but because of their special status, there are many interested people watching around them. Once their actions send any bad signals to the outside world, they can easily cause trouble.

"I understand. After waiting for so many years, there is no shortage of time. You can go and do your work. I am also a little tired."

Hong Ye, whose face was slightly pale, hid her disappointment and generously let the men around her do what she wanted.

Leaving an apologetic smile, Gushan Bushui hurriedly crossed the long corridor and came to the main hall of another courtyard. His mother, Princess Liuli, and his father, Gushan Zhengcheng, and several entourage guards had been waiting for a long time.

"how?"

The mother, Princess Liuli, couldn't wait to ask, but Gushan Bushui didn't answer and directly handed the child over.

The mother who took the swaddling clothes looked at the sleeping child, her face became much softer, and when she smelled an unusual smell of blood, she frowned unconsciously.

"Come with me."

She ordered the guards to stay where they were, and asked her husband and son to follow her into the inner room. She placed the child on the couch, uncovered the plush blanket, and saw the obvious traces of surgery on the child.

.

"How is this going?"

"Mom, don't be angry, please let me explain slowly."

Next, Gusugi Fusui described what happened in detail. The parents listened carefully, but due to their lack of understanding of ninjutsu, they were unable to judge the nature of the incident.

After being silent for a while, Kosugi Masaki said:

"It looks very complicated."

Her mother, Princess Liuli, was even more confused.

"You mean, I have two granddaughters who lost half their lives just after they were born, and you don't know what they will become in the future?"

"It's not that bad. At least I'm a little sure that they can recover. I just need to plan carefully and resolve this matter properly."

"What you... did is not wrong. It was right to hide the news in the first place."

Princess Liuli sighed,

"Young people like you may not know that secular traditions are very unfriendly to twins, especially nobles like us who insist on tradition."

"Eh? The large number of descendants doesn't mean that the family is prosperous, so why don't you want to see the twins?"

Gu Shan Bu Shui, who rarely cared about these things in the past, really didn't understand such "bad habits" that would not be understood without contact, so he asked curiously.

The mother seemed a little uninterested, and the father Masaki Furusugi continued to explain:

"Think about it in various ways. From the revelations in ancient myths and stories, as well as practical experience and lessons, it is not surprising to conclude that twins are an ominous sign. If you are interested, you can read the relevant literature."

"If you say so..."

Gu Shanbu Shui responded noncommittally.

If you really think about it carefully, you will find that the disasters caused by twins are really not uncommon.

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki gave birth to Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo and Ōtsutsuki Hamura, and was defeated and sealed; the Sage of the Six Paths had two sons, Ashura and Indra. After fighting for thousands of years, the old father who was about to die lifted the coffin board.

Climbing out of the Pure Land to deal with the aftermath; the brothers Hyuga Hizashi and Hyuga Hizashi did not end well. The two brothers' feud over the family division also affected the next generation.

This is only relatively famous. In the history recorded by daimyo and nobles of major countries, there are many more examples of brothers fighting against each other, leading to the ruin of family fortunes. In the ignorant barbaric era, there were even cases where the lord gave birth to twins and had to give birth to the younger son.

The tradition of throwing people into the river and drowning them to eliminate disaster.

Such a tragedy that violates human ethics is simply appalling. Such things are almost extinct now, but the concept that twins represent bad luck is still passed down from generation to generation.

Seeing that her son understood a little bit, her mother, Princess Liuli, said:

"It's okay if the family is divided into bastards, it's nothing to worry about. If the head of the clan leaves twin sons, the eldest son will stay, and the second son will find an ordinary farmer to raise him or send him to a temple or shrine to become a novice monk or a priest.

Of course, our family and our familiar in-laws have not had clan twins for a long time, and everyone has long forgotten that there are such twins. But if someone really wants to talk about this, it will be a headache. "

It stands to reason that the person born this time is neither a legitimate daughter nor an eldest daughter, so it has no influence at all. Even Hongye is not a serious young lady, and it is difficult to speak out about it in a dignified manner. However, after all, things must be done properly.

s arrangement.

"If you don't plan to straighten the red leaves, then it's not worth mentioning. Otherwise, all troubles must be cleared up as soon as possible to avoid a small thing turning into a big accident."

My father, Masaki Kosugi, sincerely warned,

"You may be able to ignore criticism and force the fait accompli to be recognized in the future, but your descendants may not have that ability."

"I understand. Once the two little guys are basically back to normal, we will put them in place. We still need to be cautious now..."

Gu Shan Bu Shui agreed with quite a lot,

"First of all, we still need to give our second daughter a name?"

In fact, you can have a nickname first, but many times, the nickname becomes a big name as soon as you call it, such as Xianglin. Originally, Hongye decided it by herself, and she didn't have a formal name until she returned home. As a result, no one has it now.

I recognize names other than Xianglin.

"Then let's call her Kaori."

The old father, who seemed to have already planned it, made a suggestion, but his mother, Princess Liuli, rejected it.

"It's too common, and the pronunciation of her name is similar to Xianglin's. It's easy to get confused. I think it should be called Hiiragi."

"Hiiragi means health, happiness, and vigorous growth; it is a metaphor for caution, protection, and foresight."

Hearing this, Gu Shan Bu Shui couldn't help but murmur to himself,

"Furusugi Hiiragi, Uzumaki Hiiragi, not bad."

Soon, the name of the second daughter was decided happily.

Kosugi Masato smiled helplessly.

Under normal circumstances, the parents have the same opinion, and Gushan Bushui firmly supports his father's decision; if the two have different opinions, Gushan Bushui will definitely lean towards his mother, and his stance has always been fair, clear-cut, and impartial.

"The third and fourth daughters also need to have names. They cannot be allowed to live without names."

"Jing and Si, the former is the elder sister and the latter is the younger sister."

Whether it is a mirror or a mirror, they both reflect external objects, which symbolizes that the lives of the two people do not come into the world entirely on their own. They are unable to live by themselves. They need to work hard to crave external objects and compete with heaven for their fate.

"so be it."

Her mother, Princess Liuli, paused and then ordered,

"At the 'Hina Festival' next month, let Momiji bring her children with her. We don't have many relatives at home, but there are just a few familiar faces every year. The Doll Festival is becoming more and more boring. It's more lively when there are more people.

"

"knew."

The so-called "Hina Matsuri" is actually a day to pray for happiness and healthy growth for little girls. The Girl's Festival unique to the ninja world has a long history.

Parents who have daughters at home will prepare blessing dolls for their children and rituals to eliminate disasters. In this world where extraordinary powers appear and gods are very likely to be real, the reasons for some customs are no longer known, but they still persist stubbornly.

It has been passed down.

In the past, festivals like this were celebrated by Gusugi Bushui and Hongye together with Xianglin. It was rare for grandparents and other relatives to come together.

Although there is no way to officially list the family tree, it can be regarded as the beginning of mutual recognition. We are no longer pretending not to know and turning a blind eye as in the past.

…

A newly born child grows at an alarmingly fast rate until the age of two. In just half a month, Gu Shanbu Shui felt that his second daughter, Hiiragi, had grown up a lot. If you really have to screen carefully, you will find that almost every day is different from yesterday.

A different kind of growth.

The most obvious thing is the bright red on the top of her head, which is a bit brighter than her mother Hongye and her sister Xianglin.

It was very thin when I was just born, but now it is much thicker. When I get my hair cut for the first time after the full moon, it will probably cover my eyes.

"Very healthy, with a fast metabolism, balanced nutrition, no bad traits, and even the scars from the birth surgery are gone."

After checking the child's body again, Gushan Bushui was relieved.

In essence, Hiiragi is a child who grew up through the combined efforts of three sisters. His physical aptitudes are better than those of the original Xiang Rin. It is unknown what bloodline secret skills he has inherited. His vitality is much stronger than that of his elder sister at the same time.

From this, it can be inferred that Hiiragi's physical strength and chakra capacity are, if nothing else, even higher than Xiang Rin's.

"Excellent Jinchuuriki qualifications."

Instantly, this idea came into my mind.

The situation of the eldest daughter Xiangren is very subtle in this regard. In theory, she is more suitable than other Jinchuuriki and alternatives, but she seems to be a lot worse than Uzumaki Naruto. Her basic physical strength and recovery ability are more biased toward Yang Eun auxiliary.

, the chakra is flexible and powerful, suitable for practicing sealing techniques and medical ninjutsu, while Uzumaki Naruto's chakra is obviously more violent and difficult to control.

The same descendants of the Uzumaki family have different inherited talents. The immortal body has many advantages, but not everyone can fully develop its potential.

After eating, he grabbed Gushan Bu Shui's little finger, opened his eyes wide, and tried hard to look at his father who was close at hand. He was babbling. He didn't know what he was expressing, but judging from his pheromone level,

, my current mood is acceptable.

The dark eyes looked around, but in fact he couldn't see anything at all. It was amazing for a baby of this age to be able to distinguish the difference between his father and mother at close range. Before they were fully developed, they were all extremely short-sighted. What could they see?

They were all very strenuous. They came over to look at each other and scratched their faces at the same time. They were not trying to get close to each other, but were just using touch to assist their eyes and remember their appearance.

"how's it going?"

"My hands are strong and healthy."

Mother Hongye asked, "The second daughter has been struggling a lot these days. Her energy is obviously much stronger than that of Xianglin at the same time. She cries very vigorously and is difficult to coax. She is not honest when sleeping. She doesn't pay attention. She doesn't know when."

The little guy woke up and started climbing the fence next to the crib.

No one can figure out how a child who can't even crawl learned this skill.

"I hope my two little sisters can grow up safely like her."

"There will come a day."

Gushan Bu Shui, who has already made preparations, is about to start the next step of his plan. Whether he can bring Jing and Si back to life depends on whether the next step goes smoothly.
