This Hokage is not bloody

Chapter 217
Yushi left the ice mirror space and rushed to a village called Baichuan Township non-stop. The disappearance of Li Shuangchuanwan could not be hidden for long, and he had to try to complete the task before the seven people found out and return to land.

Baichuan Township, a town where snow falls all year round, behind the beauty is the deadly soil that cannot grow food. The villagers of Baichuan Village can only make a living by chopping firewood and hunting all year round, working all day long to survive, like hungry dogs walking dead , can't find any meaning of existence.

The nearest Snow people on the map live here, and the snow falling all year round is also in line with the living habits of the Snow people.

Yushi released Kuri Sage Kushimaru's transformation technique, disguised as an ordinary Kirigakure ninja, wearing a thick bear fur cloak, even though he was very physically fit, he could still feel the bone-chilling cold all the time.

The small town in Baichuan Township is sparsely populated, except for the necessary daily life, few people go out, saving energy means saving food.

Walking along the street when it rains, many people are squatting under the eaves selling chopped firewood. These firewood soaked in snow are not easy to sell, but the charcoal made from those firewood is good for sale.

But the surplus food in their family is no longer enough for them to support the fire.

In this extremely cold winter, I don't know how many people will starve to death.

Some woodcutters hurried past with a snow rabbit. He could exchange grain for a week, and if the grain was sufficient, he could bring some meat to his family.

If the snow fox is caught, then this winter will not be difficult.

If it is a ferret, the whole family will have enough food and drink for a year, and they will still have money to buy some cotton clothes and bedding.

The snow-white and soft ferret scarf is a high-end accessory that is hard to find in the entire land of water, and it is often a status symbol of the noble ladies of the Daming Prefecture.

When it was raining, I came to a teahouse. There were only a few sparse people in the dense teahouse, but the door was full of poor woodcutters squatting on the stove. They had no money to drink hot tea to warm up, so they could only borrow some heat.

"Master Ninja...do you have any orders?" The owner of the teahouse is very respectful to Yu Shi's identity. Occasionally, there will be very hungry beasts in the village to hurt people, and the village head will raise funds from the whole village to go to Wuyin Village to ask the ninja to attack him. kill.

"I want to know if there are any Snow Clan people in this snow mountain?" Yu Shi asked.

"Snow people? I haven't heard of it... I've heard of the legend of Snow Maiden since I was a child." The owner of the teahouse shook his head.

"Let's hear it." Yu Shi ordered a pot of hot tea.

"It's the adults who scare the children. They say that the reason why this mountain snows all the year round is that there is a snow girl in the mountain. She brings disaster and suffering to Baichuan Township. If the children are disobedient and walk around in the snow, they will be killed by the snow girl." Take them away to make ice sculptures...you can't open the door casually when you hear the knock on the door, the snow girl is standing outside, that's it..." The owner of the teahouse smiled.

"Well, did any strange things happen here?" Yu Shi asked again.

"My grandparents have opened stores here for generations, and I have never heard of any strange things. The recent snow bear cannibalism has also been resolved."

"Do people often die here?" Yu Shi continued.

"This makes it difficult for me. In what winter do people not die... those who starved to death at home when the mountains were covered by heavy snow, those who went into the mountains to cut firewood and froze to death on the road, those who fell into snow caves and couldn't get out, and those who were eaten by snow wolves... …I don’t know how many people die every year.” The owner of the teahouse shook his head helplessly.

I was a little disappointed when it rained, but everything was normal. If there is no news from the teahouse, there probably won't be any other places.

Could it be that the Snow Clan lived alone in the snow mountains?How to find it?

"Let me ask again, is there anyone who knows the situation of this snow mountain best?" Yu Shi asked.

"The most familiar with snow mountains? It should be those woodcutters. They go into the mountains almost every day, and sometimes they also come as hunters to catch some snow rabbits and snow foxes. These years, there are fewer small animals, and there are basically no full-time hunters." The owner of the teahouse. He pointed to a row of woodcutters squatting outside.

"Which one knows best?"

"The one who knows the most...it should be Maoji. His house goes deep into the snow-capped mountains, so the firewood he cuts is the thickest and the charcoal he burns is the best. He should be the one who knows the snow-capped mountains best." The teahouse owner said.

"Where is he?"

"Oh! He just finished selling charcoal at my place. He should have gone to a nearby wine shop to buy wine. After all, when chopping firewood, he brought a pot of wine. He is not afraid of the cold, and his strength will be much stronger!" The teahouse owner laughed. laugh.

When it rained, he gave the boss 1 taels of banknotes, which scared him so much that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

When I came to the nearby wine shop, there was only a middle-aged man inside, carrying an empty bamboo frame, holding a gourd of wine in his hand, sipping.

"You are Moji?" Yu Shi stepped forward.

"You are... Kirigakure ninja? I'm Moji... What's wrong?" Moji was startled, and his mouth couldn't help stammering.

He has seen a few Kirigakure ninjas, and they are all very irritable, cursing the terrible weather here, hiring them to kill snow bears, and extorting a ghost place fee when they leave.

"I heard that you are the person here who knows this snow mountain best? I have some questions for you." Yu Shi looked at him.

"Ah... Excuse me."

"Is there any strange person or thing in this mountain, Snow Clan people, Snow Girl, etc." Yu Shi didn't like to talk nonsense, so he directly shook out all the questions.

"No...no, the snow girl and everything are just stories about deceiving children." Moji shook his head quickly.

But how could that fluster escape the eyes of the rain.

"Say it, this money is yours." Yu Shi took out 10 taels of banknotes.

Moji looked straight, with the 10 taels, he could renovate the damn air leaky house.

"My lord... take a step to talk..." Moji walked out of the village with no one in the rain.

"My lord, this incident has happened to me for more than ten years... I have never told anyone that when I was young, I went to the mountains to cut firewood and met the Snow Girl..."

"Snow Girl? Keep talking." Yu Shi thought it might be related to the Snow Clan.

"That day, I went to the snow mountain to chop firewood as usual, and suddenly I saw a snow lotus flower on the cliff. I can't miss it, I climbed to the cliff and picked it..."

"But when I was about to come down, my hand slipped and I fell down. When I landed on the ground, it caused an avalanche and almost killed me..."

"It was Xuenv who saved me. Although I don't know how to save me, I woke up and saw her standing next to me. She was so beautiful... Wearing a white kimono, her skin was as white as snow..."

"At that time, I was still too young, so I gave her the snow lotus flower in a flash of my brain, I was so stupid..."

"No matter what I say to her, she doesn't respond. She is as indifferent as a piece of ice, extremely noble ice."

"She told me not to mention her to anyone, and then disappeared..."

"Although I know that Snow Maiden is a symbol of disaster, I still dream of her sometimes in my dreams. Ten years have passed in a flash, and I even have a child...hehehehe."

Moji had a happy and yearning smile all over his face.

"Take me to that place, and the money will be yours." Yu Shi took out another 10 taels, these were Li Sengwan's savings, and it was useless for him to ask for it.

Although it is not certain that the Yuki woman Mokichi saw was from the Yuki tribe, there is finally a clue.
