[Naruto] Survival Records of the Warring States Period

It has been a week since Dad left, and things at home are gradually getting back on track.

You know without him having to say that his destination must be the battlefield. Money to buy life is not that easy to earn.

Although the main force in the war is ninja, ordinary people also have their uses. As for whether they can come back safely, it is really up to fate.

My mother finally found a job in the town, where she went to a wealthy family's house to starch and wash clothes.

You didn't forget about Yumi, and asked Boss A Cong about the temple house in the town. Only then did you find out that the temple house in the town did not accept female students, and the master was an old-fashioned and serious old monk. The nearest Terakoya for female students is located in Kinoshita Castle Castle Town in the southeast. Kinoshita Castle is close to the country of Uzumaki, and is mostly influenced by it. The leader of the country of Uzumaki is a ninja clan, and many of the leaders are women, so the education of women is far better than that of other countries.

In addition, there are not many temples that teach Chinese characters.

This was also the reason why Boss A Cong wanted to study.

"Boss, have you been to Kinxia City?" Boss A Cong's knowledge of Kinxia City was extremely detailed in his conversation, you asked as if it was unintentional.

The boss didn't seem to notice your probing inquiry, and replied very kindly: "That's where I'm from."

"You can't make any money in a remote town."

"Did Nyonosuke also come from Kinoshita Castle?"

"Someone sold it to me years ago to raise travel expenses." When mentioning Nyanosuke's origin, the boss narrowed his eyes and glanced at you sideways, "Why do you have so many questions?"

You shrugged, knowing that your boss wasn't really angry: "I'm just curious."

"Curiosity is the source of learning."

“Excessive curiosity can lead to death,” the boss warned.

You said indifferently: "I knew how difficult it was to live in this world when I almost starved to death."

That being the case, what's the difference between dying out of curiosity and dying out of hunger?

You flipped through a few more pages of the manuscript.

Since the printing workers left last time, the boss has collected another batch of books and brought them back. This time, he did not directly ask someone to proofread it, but temporarily took a copy for you to proofread. After finding that you could indeed complete the task, he handed the task over to you.

He himself is busy with a new product in the publishing industry - a compilation of popular clothing, accessories and popular books for each season based on seasonal cycles. For this reason, a new store was specially opened and a waiter was hired to do this.

You think this is similar to a modern magazine. This is the first one compiled by Shimizuya. He attaches great importance to it and tries to outdo the old publisher Guzhuo in the town. He often sees him bringing manuscripts to the bookstore for selection.

At the same time, you also sigh that your father did not persist for a while longer. Who knew that boss A Cong would expand his business and go deep into the publishing industry at this time?

Even if you don't know Chinese characters, you can do tasks such as running errands and collecting information.

While proofreading the manuscript, a visitor came to my door.

"Mr. Qingshui, I'm here to get the books that my lord entrusted to you." A man who looked like a middle-aged butler walked into the bookstore and found the boss.

The boss suddenly sat up straight and called you: "Xiaoxue, go get the "Xia Zhuang Ode" that was delivered two days ago."

You responded, went to the warehouse behind the house to register and take out the printed books with movable type plates that had been sent by the printing factory a few days ago, and then wrapped them in paper and took them out.

The boss had already stood up and was walking around the bookstore while talking to him, looking very happy.

But after you handed over the book, the other party just paid the money indifferently and left without saying a word to the boss.

The boss stood at the door and sighed, looking at the guests' backs as they left.

"...Boss." You stood there for a while and then spoke.

"doing what?"

"Go back, it seems like the guest won't come back."

"Nothing!" The boss sat back with the cat in his arms.

You then followed up and asked, "Boss, how is the compilation going now?"

He glanced at you: "What? Don't you want to do it here?"

You shook your head, picked up the manuscript you reviewed at the beginning and handed it over: "I want to say, do you want to publish this together?"

This manuscript is a travelogue with elements of monsters. The protagonist is an onmyoji who has experienced different monsters and people while traveling around the country.

"Why are you doing this?" The boss waved his hand and motioned for you to take the manuscript away.

You: "What I mean is not to finish it, the rest is here."

You raised the other half of the manuscript in your hand.

You just thought that since you want to make a magazine, you can try serialization. Anyway, all I have in my hands are the finished manuscripts, and I can distribute them however I want.

Boss Acong frowned slightly, his eyes wandered over the manuscripts in your hands, and suddenly clapped his hands and went to get the part of the manuscript you handed over: "Show me!"

After all, Boss A Cong is a businessman, and he soon saw the secret of this, and greeted you: "You can find me another article with a different style."

"Huh?" You didn't respond.

Him: "If you want something shorter, go quickly."

You flipped through the proofread manuscript and found a short story. The main idea was that a ninja fell in love with his noble lord, and eventually died miserably in order to complete his mission to serve his lord.

The same story replaces ninjas with samurai, and there is no sense of inconsistency. You have seen it a lot when you were doing your graduation design before time travel.

I can’t say it’s boring, I can only say it’s the same.

Among this batch of manuscripts, only this one is a short story.

You hand it to Boss A Cong.

Boss A Cong scanned the contents of the manuscript. There was no emotion on his face, but you always felt that his mood seemed worse than before.

"Should I look for something else?" you asked.

"Forget it, that's it." He rubbed his forehead and put it together with the manuscript of Onmyoji's travel notes that was handed to him before.

"If you are interested, you can take the book home and read it for five days." The boss added.

You were startled, realizing that this was probably the reward just proposed.

It can't be said that the boss is stingy. Nowadays, apprentices are generally lifelong. Although the contract signed has a certain number of years, it will be renewed in the future if nothing unexpected happens. Discerning shops will also promote apprentices based on years of service. The boss must have taken note of this today. It is estimated that you will have to wait until the current contract expires before you can get the real reward from the boss. Not surprisingly, you should be given a daily salary increase in the subsequent contract.

However, you can also read the books in the bookstore when you have free time in the bookstore, and the temporary reward seems worthless. But the boss knew that you had two younger brothers and sisters at home, and you asked him about Terako House. It was quite a careful arrangement to be able to bring books home.

You responded, thought for a moment and then asked, "Can I get the reciprocal items?"

Correspondence is a collection of letters compiled into a volume. Because letters often use common words and phrases, correspondence is generally used to enlighten children in literacy and literature. In the world before you traveled through time, the most famous relic was undoubtedly "The Court's Reciprocity", which once occupied an important position in the history of enlightenment.

If you don't know what popular teaching materials are currently used for children's enlightenment, you can only choose suitable ones from the current materials.

"You can only take one copy," the boss paused and warned, "Don't show it to everyone."

You nodded to show you understood.

After getting off work, you took the book and took your mother straight to the market to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

The book can only be kept for five days, so you need to copy the book during these five days.

When your boss allows you to take a book home, he tacitly agrees with you to copy it, hence the saying that no one else can read it.

Going forward hundreds of thousands of years, borrowing and copying books has always been the first choice for scholars who cannot afford to buy books.

It's both worlds.
