I subvert Hokage with Onmyoji

Chapter 47 The "Tradition" of Taijie Village

In Taijie Village, the villagers make a living by abusing their children. All the children in the village have been tortured by adults. They are all sallow, emaciated, skinny, with numb eyes and humble behavior, which makes people angry.

The children born and living here must be suffering.

Yuan Youzhi always thought so.

But when he saw the child named Jianwan in front of him for the first time "take out" two coins from someone else's pocket with lightning speed, complete the day's task in one morning market, hide in a tree and sleep soundly , At this time, when he was sitting in front of the restaurant and asking for two portions of meat, he felt that his cognition had collapsed again.

Maybe, not all children are as miserable as he imagined?
Yuan Youzhi couldn't help but took another careful look at Jianmaru.

The boy was as thin as the other children in Taijie Village, but darker, with a cropped cut, and only the cheapest large linen vest on his body, making his body even thinner.

At this time, Jianwan was sitting on the long bench with a big grin, bent one leg and stepped on the bench, picked up a big mouthful of noodles with chopsticks, sucked them into his mouth, then picked up two pieces of meat, and swallowed them together with the noodles Down.

"Cool!" The boy closed his eyes and enjoyed it, his face full of satisfaction.

Yuan Youzhi looked at him, silent.

"Brother Kenmaru, is this really alright?" Sakurami asked while obediently sitting on the other side of Kenmaru, with her hands on her lap, blinking her eyes.

"Okay, of course, this is the life we ​​should live!" Jianmaru took another mouthful of noodles, and pushed the bowl in front of Sakura, "Little Sakura, try it too, this is what people eat !"

Sakura took the chopsticks and took a small bite.The little girl's eyes lit up immediately, the corners of her mouth turned up, and the little dimple was as bright as a ray of sunshine.

"But you can't eat too much, you can only eat two bites, or if you are full and can't eat, it will be miserable."

As Jianwan said, he stuffed another mouthful of meat, but this time he didn't swallow it. Instead, he closed his eyes and chewed carefully for a while, then spit out the tasteless meat foam into the trash can beside him, and then stuffed another mouthful of meat. Mouth meat.

And this kind of operation...

Yuan Youzhi adjusted his sitting posture, and silently took a mouthful of his own noodles.

Why do I suddenly feel that the noodles in the bowl are not fragrant...

"Who are you? Why are you with Sakura?"

Kenmaru wobbled and sat across from Yuan Youzhi, and slapped the chopsticks on the table with sharp eyes: "Did that unscrupulous father of Sakurami rent her to you for another day? This time How much is it? Three hundred yuan, or two hundred yuan?"

Yuan Youzhi looked up at him, but didn't answer.

"bang"

Kenmaru slammed the table and stood up, pointed at Yuan Youzhi and said, "Yeah, I don't care about the money, I tell you, even if you are a ninja, don't think too beautifully!"

As he said that, the young man took out three coins with the word "100" from his black purse and threw them in front of Yuan Youzhi, saying domineeringly, "I'll give you the money, now, right now, right now, get out in front of my master!"

With a vigorous wave of Kenmaru's thin arm like a branch, he pointed a clear path for Yuan Youzhi - he pointed his finger to the other side of the street, and his eyes signaled Kenmaru to get out of here.

"Key, Brother Kenmaru, it's not like this... This big ninja brother is not a bad guy, yes, he saved me from the bad uncle..."

The little girl Sakura climbed down from the bench, trot behind Kenmaru, pulled the hem of his vest that almost reached his knees and said.

Yuan Youzhi's indifferent gaze fixed on Jianmaru's face at the right time.

"Forehead……"

Jianwan's eyes twitched, his fingers trembled, and his whole body froze on the spot.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha!"

The next moment, Jianwan laughed with his hands on his hips, walked around to Yuan Youzhi's side without any surprise, hooked his shoulder with one hand, and quickly took the three coins that he had just dropped on the table into his arms with the other hand .

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"

"Master Ninja must not be as knowledgeable as this poor and helpless little kid like me!"

Kenmaru squeezed out a big smile and looked at Yuan Youzhi.

"roll."

"Okay."

Kenmaru sat down on the bench opposite Yuan Youzhi again, stuffed the coins into the black purse, and leaned into Sakurami's ear and said, "Sakurami, why didn't you say it earlier, this time your elder brother Kenmaru But what a shame!"

"Well, I, I said..."

"Forget it, people are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be knifed, and they have survived so many whips at home, are you still afraid of this?" The young man shook his head and muttered, picking up the noodle bowl and muttering.

Yuan Youzhi gently put down the bowl and chopsticks, looked at Jianwan, and said slowly, "Tell me about the situation in your village."

The movement of Jian Wan chewing stopped abruptly, his whole body tensed up like an offended beast, there was no mischief in his eyes anymore, only deep vigilance and seriousness.He stared at Yuan Youzhi, the veins on his arms were exposed.

"Brother Kenmaru, big brother lives in our village now, he is here to help us." Sakura said hastily.

"Help us?" Kenmaru was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Yuan Youzhi with obvious disbelief in his eyes.

Yuan Youzhi said: "It doesn't matter if you believe me or not, but you should know that you don't have the ability to change everything, but I do."

"Tell me about the situation in your village. It's very important to me, and it won't be worse than it is now, right?"

Kenmaru was silent, his eyes were fixed on a certain pattern on the wooden table, and he was hesitating in his mind.

"You can hesitate, but I won't wait too long."

Yuan Youzhi picked up the noodle bowl again, he still had half a bowl of noodles left.

Time passed by, Yuan Youzhi drank the last sip of noodle soup, put the bowl and chopsticks on the table, glanced at the young man whose forehead was covered with thin sweat, and stood up.

"and many more!"

Kenmaru yelled, and then the boy took a deep breath, scolded his mother, and said, "Don't worry about it, who knows when the next time a ninja is willing to help, it's just you, young master!"

"Sit down, I'll tell you about the shitty things in this shitty village!"

Minamoto sat down again, and Kenmaru began to tell everything he knew.

Kenmaru is still young, he is less than 12 years old this year, and he only knows that Taijie Village has been like this since he was born. It is to put the burden of the family's life on the children, beat and scold them at will, and compare each other on the basis of which child earns more money.

Under the vicious circle, the entire Taijie Village was filled with smog, and the lives of the children were miserable.

In Kenmaru's memory, there were also incidents of children fleeing, but without exception, they were all found back, but they were found... none of them were alive, they were all corpses!
Over time, some people said that children who run away will be eaten by wild beasts, so no children dare to run away anymore, after all, they can survive in the village.

"Hey, he was eaten by wild beasts, he was beaten to death by them! Brother Yong who lived next door to me fled. I saw him the day he was caught, and his body was covered in bruises. How can there be any beast that doesn't bite? Only hit people?!"

Sakura next to her pursed her lips and nodded, her small face was full of fear.

"Also, there is another strange thing about the children in the village..."

Jianwan involuntarily lowered his voice, and trembled slightly.
