Kaleidoscope open the door

"Uncle, hold on, I'll send you to the doctor."

Snapped!

The middle-aged man's hand pressed Yahiko's arm about to hold him, his face pale due to excessive blood loss, and his lips trembled and said:

"Thank you, but you don't have to be in vain. I know I can't fight it anymore. Can I ask you something?"

When Yahiko saw this, he still hugged the middle-aged man and ran to the hospital. He also knew that the middle-aged man was telling the truth, because he had seen too many faces of people who were about to die in the past, and the faces of those people and middle-aged people. His expressions were almost the same at this time, but he didn't want to give up.

Yahiko felt sorry for his carelessness, and heard the middle-aged's request, he quickly said:

"Hold on, what you want to do only makes sense if you do it yourself!"

The middle-aged man coughed twice and said in a breathless voice:

"I have a letter and a box in my arms to help deliver it to a man named Mu Lao in the upper reaches of Wuming River."

Yahiko yelled anxiously:

"Don't give up, the pharmacy is almost here!"

"please."

The middle-aged man seemed to use his last strength, his head tilted, his eyes gradually lost his spirit.

"I am, please, don't die..."

Yahiko lowered his head and said in a low voice. His steps gradually slowed down, and finally stood still and sat on the ground feebly. Although it was not the first time he saw someone die, it was not the first time he was righteous and failed. Once he caused others to die because of a brave failure of righteousness, Yahiko felt frustrated and yearned for the power of a ninja even more. If he were a ninja, even if he did nothing, the three gangsters would retreat.

It wasn't until there was a sudden heavy rain in the sky that the heavy rain wetted his clothes, that Yahiko was shocked, took the knife from the middle-aged man's back, and walked to the suburbs outside the town with the middle-aged man on his back.Yahiko remembers that the middle-aged person asked for his help to deliver things, but before that, the middle-aged person was buried first. He could only do some funeral affairs to make up for the regret of not being able to save the middle-aged person.

"Yahiko."

Xiao Nan does some manual work in the small rented room, and when he reaches a certain amount, he will sell it at the monthly market. Seeing Yahiko coming back, he was originally curious about why Yahiko came back before get off work hours, but watched When Yahiko's whole body was wet, the question at the mouth turned into concern.

"Have you encountered something?"

Then he poured a bowl of hot water to Yahiko, and took a dry towel to wipe his head.

Yahiko shrugged, letting himself behave as usual, and said cheerfully:

"It's nothing, something happened on the road. Tomorrow I will go to Fuming River to send something."

Although he didn't save the middle-aged man, he felt a little depressed, but Yahiko didn't want to worry Xiao Nan because of her own sake.The Frogchuan River is actually not far from the town, but the middle-aged people didn't give the detailed address. I am afraid that it will take a while to find it. If you don't come back in the evening, Xiao Nan will worry, so I will go back tomorrow.

"Well, you change your clothes first, and be careful of catching cold."

Xiaonan thoughtfully dried Yahiko’s hair. She grew up with her. How could she not notice Yahiko’s abnormality? She knew that no matter what difficulties Yahiko encountered outside, she always looked cheerful and upward when facing her. , In order not to worry her, so every time she has to pretend to be invisible and satisfy Yahiko's wish.

Chapter Seven Hundred and Fifty Four

Frogsong River is not far from the town where Yahiko lives. There are more frogs than fishes. In summer, a large number of frogs come ashore. The sound of frogs can be heard clearly within a few miles. In villages and small towns near Wuming River, a variety of frog eating methods and recipes have even been created.

Early the next morning, Yahiko put on his clothes and left the town early with a letter and a wooden box, and walked up to the Frog River. He originally thought it would be a long-term task. After all, the location is too Blurred, how long and how big is the upper reaches of a river, it is not easy to find someone who only knows the name, or nickname.

After all,'Mu Lao' sounds more like a name for an old man than a person's name.

However, things were unexpectedly simple. He went out of the town to the Fanaming River and walked upstream along the river bank. After walking for more than an hour, he saw a wooden house in a natural river bay, and a sitting Old man fishing by the river.

The old man seemed to be not young, but he was a childish face, with bright eyes and a spirited look. The thin body under the wide coat and the waist was straight, and he looked like an ordinary person.

Yahiko stepped forward and summoned the courage:

"Excuse me, are you old Mu?"

The old man Bailu pretended to be expressionless, neither denying nor admitting, just saying:

"who are you?"

Yahiko said cautiously:

"You tell me first if you are Mr. Mu?"

Bai Lu deliberately asked:

"So what? So what?"

Yahiko didn't feel dissatisfied with Bailu's making things difficult, but smiled bitterly:

"If it's not, then I'll bother you, I apologize to you."

"The young man has a good heart."

Bai Lu raised her eyebrows, with a teachable expression on the face, and said lightly:

"The old man is the old Mu you are looking for. After all, what's the matter with the old man?"

"That's great."

Yahiko breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. On the one hand, it would be much easier without having to travel long distances, and on the other hand, there was no need to return late to make Xiao Nan worry. This really relieved him, and then took out a letter from his arms. The letter and a wooden box were handed to Bai Lu.

"I am entrusted to deliver you the letter and this box."

Bai Lu reached out and took the envelope and box, glanced at Yahiko, and said slowly while opening the envelope:

"Believe what I say, if I am not Mr. Mu, I lied to you?"

Yahiko's face was stagnant, and there was nowhere to put his hands. He wanted to get back the envelope and wooden box, but he was afraid that it would hurt the old man. He stammered:

"Old, old man, don't take a joke."

"Okay, just tease you."

Bai Lu snorted and taught in the tone of an elder:

"Hey, stupid boy, I'm very fond of foreigners when going out in the future, that is, I think the elderly are pleasing to your eyes, and ordinary people don't tell him this truth."

After finishing talking, he ignored Yahiko's awkward and depressed expression, pretending to read the letter he wrote beforehand, and then showed a complex expression of melancholy, and finally sighed quietly, which made people think. Looks like this.

"Come with the old man, since it is the last entrustment of the old friend, the old man cannot refuse.

Although a little stupid and a little older, but fortunately he has a good temperament. From now on you will learn ninjutsu from the old man."

Bailu said that he folded the letter and carried it in his arms with the box. Regardless of whether Yahiko heard it or not, he turned and walked towards the wooden house with his back against the forest not far away, looking dispirited, like an old man who had lost a close friend. .

"Ninjutsu?"
