"No, it's definitely not possible for a child to dare to walk directly in the wilderness with an orc guard. Rather than betting on their incompetence, I would rather believe that they have people to rely on. Besides, now is not the agreed time. There is no need for us to take risks. Attack them." Mr. Xiaoping still shook his head and objected.

"But we can use medicine! Is there any need to do it in person?" Seeing that the young man disagreed, the old man immediately said eagerly: "Although the time has not come yet, we are not ready yet. If the time comes and we are not ready, What to do then!”

"You have to know that [-]% of the abandoned people who can still survive in the wilderness are already connected with those things. We have rarely caught anyone in the past two years."

"This." After hearing the old man's words and remembering the difficulties in the village, Xiaoping Jun hesitated for a moment.

At the same time, after seeing the young man's real hesitation, the old man immediately said while the iron was hot: "And don't forget, there are not many old people and disabled people in the village now."

"We old guys and losers can't decide a few times. When the time comes, will you have to sacrifice young people or women and children?"

"No need to say anything, I understand." After hearing the old man's final question, the young man said with determination: "I'll do as you want."

"But it's not a good night. They will definitely be wary. Let's do it tomorrow! When I see them off tomorrow, I'll treat them to breakfast and take the opportunity to administer the medicine."

"Okay, as long as you can figure it out, I'll ask someone to prepare it right away." When the young man agreed, the old man said with great joy.

After saying that, the old man immediately turned around and walked out neatly.

"Alas!" Looking at the old man leaving, the young man who called himself Mr. Xiaoping sighed and said, "For the sake of everyone, I have to feel sorry for you."

But neither the old man who left nor the young man who was sighing to himself noticed a small, dark crow outside the window.

"Is there really a problem?" Uchiha Itachi spread his wings and flew while thinking about the conversation between the two people just now.

"But there seems to be another hidden secret in this village. Is the agreement about sacrificing living people?"

"And did this village rely on some shady means to survive? Maybe we can get some information about the wilderness from their mouths."

Ten minutes later, after transforming back into the little flying insect of will and sneaking back to the rest room without a trace, Uchiha Itachi first set up a soundproof seal in the room secretly, and then woke him up. The Aburame Zhizun fell asleep.

"Well, well, what's going on! Crow Crow?" Aburame Shizun, who was woken up from his sleep, rolled his eyelids and said.

Perhaps because he knew that there was nothing he could do to him, Uchiha Itachi had almost ignored the name Aburame Shizon without changing his expression. Of course, there was no change in his expression on his face now.

"I discovered some situations, you have to be prepared." Uchiha Itachi said coldly.

"Ah!" Aburame Shizun, who yawned, opened his eyes, sat up halfway and said, "You went out to investigate at night, what did you find?"

"They...that's it. What do you think?" Then Uchiha Itachi told Aburame Shisun all the information he overheard tonight.

"So, they plan to drug us when they invite us to dinner the next morning." After listening, Aburame Shison said.

"Yes."

"Then do you think there is any danger hidden in this village?" Aburame Shizun asked.

"No, the people in the village are just ordinary people. Let alone me. Even if you don't fall into the trap, they can't do anything to you." Uchiha Itachi shook his head and said.

"What we have to worry about is the unknown existence behind them, which can allow this village of nearly a hundred people to survive in the wilderness. Its power cannot be ignored."

"That's it!"

"Then let's stay and get to know each other."

"If you can't solve it tomorrow, go back to Tie E for help!" Aburame Shizun said after thinking for a while.

"Okay." Seeing that Aburame Shisun had made up his mind, Uchiha Itachi, who knew clearly that he was protected by a seal and that his life would not be in danger in a short period of time, did not refute.

.No words for a night.

The next morning, not long after the sun had just jumped above the horizon, Uchiha Itachi woke up Aburame Shison.

The two of them acted as if they didn't know anything, and after sorting themselves out for a while, they left the door directly, as if they were planning to lead their horses away.

"Wait, you two, wait a minute." Finally, when the two of them arrived at the gate of the village, Mr. Xiaoping, who had received the report from his subordinates, hurried over to stop them.

"Here we come." Hearing the shouting from behind, Aburame Shison who was riding the horse and Uchiha Itachi who was leading the horse looked at each other and said in their hearts.

The next moment, Aburame Shizun naturally turned around, looked at Xiaoping-kun who was running quickly not far away with a questioning look on his face and asked: "What can I do for the donor?"

"The young monk is planning to leave immediately as agreed yesterday!"

"Hoo, ho." Mr. Xiaoping, who quickly ran up to him, first let out a few loud breaths, and then said with an apologetic face: "I'm sorry! Little mage, I was rude yesterday."

"No, no, what is the donor doing? It's a great convenience for the donor to allow the two of them to stay here for one night. What's wrong with that?" Although he already knew the other party's sinister plan in his heart, The girl Zhizun has an oily face, but she doesn't reveal any details.

"No, the little mage misunderstood. In fact, the reason why I didn't let the two mage stay yesterday was purely because we are mortals and can't see the details of the mage at all. Therefore, out of fear, we did not dare to take them in. of."

"But now that the night has passed, nothing has happened, so my uncle asked me to come over and invite the little mage to come over and apologize to you." Mr. Xiaoping said with a sincere tone and a respectful attitude.

If he hadn't already known what the other party was paying attention to, just by looking at his sincere attitude, I believe anyone would believe what the other party said.

"This is such a vivid expression of the survival attitude and behavior of a little person! I almost believe you." Shizun Aburame muttered in his heart.

"How can this be so embarrassing! Xiaoping-jun's worries are understandable after thinking about it. After all, this world is indeed very dangerous. Being more cautious in Guizhai is also the way to survive. I can completely understand. I apologize. Let’s not compete!” As he said that, Aburame Shizun looked like he was about to leave again.

Open.

"Me." Looking at the little mage who looked completely understandable and said you don't need to care, Mr. Xiao Ping's heart twitched slightly, but he had to pretend to be eager and stepped forward to hold the horse's rein and said, "The mage will stay and eat." Let’s have breakfast! Otherwise I’ll feel uneasy.”

"Here." Seeing the other party's sincere pleading, Aburame Shizun seemed to be relieved and said: "Since the donor is not at ease, then Monk, let's have breakfast! But there is no need to talk about an apology."

"We are all friends who have known each other for a while, so there is no need to be so open-minded." Aburame Shizun said to Xiaoping-kun with a sincere expression, as if I regard you as a friend.

"Then please invite the little mage over here!" Seeing Aburame Shizun's sincere look, a trace of struggle flashed in the eyes of the young man named Xiaoping-kun, but it was immediately replaced by determination.

He held the horse's reins with one hand and Aburame Shison's body with the other, with a sincere gesture of "I'll help you dismount."

"Oh, the donor is too polite. He told me that I am not his friend! He said this, but his movements were not slow. As soon as the young man stretched out his hand, Aburame Shizun dismounted.

"It seems that as long as his inner emotions are not directly aroused, he performs very well under normal circumstances." Uchiha Itachi, who had been acting as an orc guard and said nothing, was observing the movements around him and Aburame Shison's movements. Performance, I thought silently in my heart.

"Then let's go quickly! Don't keep the old man waiting." On the other side, Shizun Aburame, who heard that there was an old man waiting, smiled even deeper on his face and did not refuse the young man's pull.

He was pulled and led towards the inside of the village by the young man.

At the same time, after seeing Aburame Shison passing by, Uchiha Itachi also silently followed after handing the spirit horse to a person dressed as a younger brother.

"Then, little mage, please come with me! I will take you there." The young man said sincerely: "And little mage, please call me Xiaohei Ichiro! My name is Xiaohei Ichiro."

Three or four minutes later, Aburame Shizun and the two were led by the enthusiastic Kohei Ichiro and several younger brothers to a stone house.

At the same time, an old man who was at least five or sixty years old was already standing in front of the stone house.

After seeing a few people coming over, the old man stepped forward with an apologetic look and said, "I believe these two are the young mage who stayed overnight last night and your bodyguards."

"I am the elder of this village and Ichiro's uncle. I have come here to beg you to forgive us for the offense we committed yesterday."

"There, the elder is so kind. It is a great convenience for you and your nephew to take in the young monk and the guard to stay for one night."

"A mere careful test is really not worth mentioning."

"And the young monk also knows that to survive in this dangerous world, it is normal to worry and take precautions when strangers get together in the wilderness. The old man actually has no need to do this. The young monk will not let these small things go. In my heart.”

"Thank you Master for your generosity." After hearing Aburame Zhizun's words, the old man thanked you first, and then said: "But this is already the practice of our village, so I beg Master Master not to refuse."

"Routine?" Aburame Shizun asked doubtfully.

"I believe Master Mage has also seen that our village is not very strong, so we often move our residence in order to survive. Therefore, although there are very few travelers in the wilderness, it is still safe for people like us who often travel. Encountered."

"So we have already had a way of dealing with outsiders."

"In fact, as long as they are considered a threat and cannot be rejected directly, no matter who comes and wants to enter our village normally, they will definitely receive the treatment you encountered yesterday, and they will even be monitored all night long. "

"Just in case?" Aburame Shizun said as if I could understand.

"Yes, because we can't refuse, we have to do this. If nothing happens overnight, and there is no one who wants to rely on us the next day, then we will take the initiative to apologize and try not to offend them." The old man sighed. Said: "After all, the existence that we cannot refuse is probably an existence that we cannot afford to offend!"

"Since we have initially determined that the other party has no agenda, naturally we are not willing to offend others for nothing."

"Young monk understands, then let's have breakfast with the old man!" After hearing what the old man said, Aburame Shizun said immediately.

"Thank you Master for your understanding. Master, please come here. The little old man has prepared the best food we can for Master and the two of you. Please don't dislike it, Master." The old man led Aburame Shizun towards the stone house. He walked forward and said respectfully.

"For those who are away from home, it's good to have something to eat. There's nothing you don't like about it." Aburame Shizun said as he walked into the stone house.

There are only four places on a large square wooden table, and breakfast for four people is placed on it. It consists of bread, pickles, a little bacon, and a large bowl of oily soup with a piece of white meat in the middle. This is what this simple village calls it. Best food ever.

"Although it doesn't look like much, for such a simple village, being able to serve meat is a big investment." Looking at the simple breakfast in front of him, Aburame Shizun thought in his mind.

Although Aburame Shizono had left the Konoha Ninja Village base for the first time, not only had he never survived outside the wilderness before, but he had not paid so much attention to collecting information that he considered unimportant.

But even so, he also knew that in today's world where mutant life is everywhere, whether hunting or raising livestock is actually a very dangerous thing.

The most direct danger of the former lies in the danger of the life itself that mutates due to the demonic energy. Not only does its strength become stronger, but most people cannot distinguish the degree of mutation at all.

The danger of the latter lies in the breeding period.In addition to the special barrier in the Ninja Village base to prevent the infection and mutation of external evil energy, there are places where evil energy may drift in at other times. Those seemingly docile poultry may also be exposed to evil spirits from nowhere. Angry and turned into a ferocious demonic creature.

Therefore, at this moment, even Uchiha Itachi had to admit that the uncle and nephew in front of him were quite capable. With such temperaments and considerations of gains and losses, they could be considered two talents to a certain extent!

"Come, Master, I'll give you two a cup of broth." The old man raised a small wooden bowl and said to Aburame Shison and Uchiha Itachi with a chuckle.

"If it weren't for the Master's light, I don't know when I would have the opportunity to eat this bacon and broth!"

"The old man is too polite." Aburame Shizun said as he also drank a cup of broth.
