Naruto's graceful style

"just in front."

The wind and snow were getting heavier and heavier, and the carriage drove in the snow for more than ten minutes. The woman named Xiaoxue came out of the carriage, pointed in the direction ahead and said to Yuta and the others.

Looking in the direction of her finger, Yuta and Yuhi Kurenai vaguely saw small black dots scattered in the snow. When the carriage got closer, they could still see the lights all around the village, flickering. The sudden appearance made this snowy night seem a little warmer.

"drive."

Yuta shook the horse rope vigorously, speeding up the carriage and rushing towards the village ahead.

The journey was smooth, and after entering the village, Yuta stopped the carriage in front of a villager's house in the direction pointed by the woman.

Xiaoxue immediately jumped off the carriage and knocked on the door. After calling the doctor in the house to see the injured boy's condition, she then helped the boy in the carriage into the house for treatment at the doctor's instruction.

After finishing all this, the woman came outside and bowed to Yuta and the two with a sincere face to thank them.

"Thank you. Thank you so much today. If it weren't for you, we would definitely not have rushed back to the village yet. You must not have eaten yet. If you don't mind, please come to my house and sit down later."

The woman's cheeks looked a little dry and rosy due to the weather, but her face was much more relaxed than before. Obviously, the young man receiving treatment in the room was in good condition.

"Nowhere, it's just a matter of a finger's work."

Yuhi Hong smiled and said, "Then I won't bother you later."

The woman shook her head when she heard this. She was grateful that neither of them had time, so why would she think it was an intrusion.

Only then did she have time to take a serious look at the two people in front of her. Because she was concerned about the boy's condition, and because Yuta and Yuta were heavily covered with cold-proof equipment, it was difficult to see clearly. Now both of them have taken off their goggles. Through the dim light behind them, two young faces can be seen.

And he still has a pretty face.

Not only the girl named Hong, but also the other boy was also very handsome and looked like a golden boy. The woman couldn't help but secretly sigh that the two of them were so well matched.

Looking closely at their appearance, it seems that they are not older than her, maybe only two or three years older than her brother.

Xiaoxue was slightly curious and doubtful about these two people, but she didn't ask. After the doctor in the house came out to notify him, a few people helped the injured boy back into the carriage, said goodbye and left.

The carriage followed the path in the village, turned two corners, and arrived at Xiaoxue's house.

A small wooden house.

"right here."

Xiaoxue jumped off the carriage and hurried forward to open the door. After turning on the lights, she walked back to support the injured boy and smiled sheepishly: "The conditions at home are not good, I hope you don't dislike it."

"how come."

"Come inside and sit down, it's cold outside."

Yuhi Hong helped the boy into the house, while Yuta stayed outside, stopped the carriage, and tied the horse's rope before following him.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but as soon as I entered the room, I felt a lot warmer.

Yuta casually looked at the furnishings in the house. It was indeed a bit shabby as Xiaoxue said, but it was clean. The tables, chairs, benches, and the few pieces of furniture were all very clean. It was obvious that the people who lived here paid great attention to environmental hygiene and gave people a good impression. Very comfortable.

"Please sit down."

Seeing Yuta come in, Xiaoxue quickly said hello. At this time, she was already busy preparing dinner, "The meal will be ready soon, please wait a moment."

Yuta nodded, closed the door behind him, and walked towards Yuhi Kurenai. The girl winked at him frequently after he entered the room. After he walked over, she buried her head in his ear and whispered:

"Well, Xiaoxue seems to be too enthusiastic, which makes me a little uncomfortable. I originally wanted to help her cook, but she kept saying no."

At the end of the sentence, Yuhi Hong couldn't help but stick out her tongue.

Hearing this, Yuta glanced at Xiaoxue who was cooking, and said softly: "Maybe he is too grateful to us. It saves a lot of time for treatment."

Of course Yuhi Hong knew the reason, but she was not used to the other party's enthusiasm.

Her personality is like this, she is straightforward and straightforward, and she is comfortable getting along with others. On the contrary, if others are too enthusiastic and attentive, they will not adapt to her. This has nothing to do with wariness or suspicion, it is just a habit of dealing with others.

On the other hand, Xiaoxue's actions were certainly not wrong. She received help from others and wanted to thank them, so she acted enthusiastically.

It didn't take long.

A table of food was prepared, and after inviting Yutai and the two to the table, Xiaoxue went to the back room to help the boy out. The four of them sat down around the round table, using their chopsticks to eat the steaming dinner.

"Xiaoxue, are the rest of your family still in the transport team just now?"

Yuhi Hong first ate a small piece of roast lamb, couldn't help but praise the other party's cooking skills, and then asked in confusion.

Yuta also noticed this problem. There was no one else in this room except them. However, he didn't care. Now that Yuhi Hong asked him, he just listened to it.

just,

After hearing Yuhi Kurenai's question, the siblings fell silent, and their moods became obviously a little depressed. As ninjas, how could Yuta and the two not notice that Yuhi Kurenai suddenly realized that she might have touched their sad things? , apologized quickly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

"It's nothing."

A careless smile appeared on Xiaoxue's face, but it contained a bit of unconcealable bitterness.

The young man buried his head and ate his meal in silence.

There was some silence at the table.

"I'm done eating."

The young man suddenly put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up and got off the table. Xiaoxue immediately went over to help him, but the young man said directly: "I can do it by myself. Sister, you don't have to worry about me when you eat."

"How about that?"

Xiaoxue said in a strong tone, and after helping the somewhat depressed boy back to the house, he came out and sat down again, smiling apologetically at Yuta and the others.

"I'm sorry, my brother is like this. He doesn't have a childish temper. Don't worry about him and continue eating."

"I was abrupt just now."

Yuhi Hong shook her head and said, if she hadn't asked so casually, these things wouldn't have happened.

"It's not your fault. Those who don't know are not guilty. In fact, it's not something that can't be said."

Having said this, Xiaoxue was silent for a moment, the longing and sadness in her eyes flashed past, and then she raised her head, her expression returning to normal.

"Hong, you were right. My parents were indeed in that transport team, but that was three years ago."

"On the night three years ago, they transported goods just like we did tonight. This was a normal thing, but that night, the transport team encountered monsters in the snow forest. As a result, they..."
