"I will escort you to Yuyin Village, and you will have to walk the rest of the way on your own."

Yukari crossed her arms and nodded.

"clear."

Chita is not so much the person sent by Konoha to protect Yukari, but rather the person who accompanies her in transitioning from group life to solo life.

Along the way, Zhiduo wielded a wooden stick and jumped up from time to time to perform a set of stick tricks, which frequently attracted attention.

"Brother, why are you so excited?"

Yukari deliberately quickened his pace and put some distance between him and Chita to avoid being hit by the wooden stick that flew up when he spun around.

"It's my first time out of the village. Sorry."

Seeing his grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden and seeing everything new, Yukari had no doubt about the authenticity of this sentence.

"You look about the same age as me. Why haven't I seen you in the village?"

The corners of Zhiduo's high-spirited mouth gradually fell back, and his eyes dimmed.

“I used to stay in a place where everything was white, where there were only cold instruments and serious doctors and nurses.

They tied a thin transparent rubber tube on my body every day, took it off the next day, and inserted a new tube in another place.

Until last year, I was blindfolded, taken out of there, and arranged by the Hokage to join the Konoha Guards.

The person who took me out told me not to leave the village. Thanks to you, I had the opportunity to leave the village. "

"Yeah, you're welcome."

Yukari rubbed her chin and squinted her eyes to look at Tomoko. He looked stupid. If what he said was not true, then it would be a piece of cake for this guy to win the Best Performance Award.

If he is telling the truth, then there must be an amazing secret hidden in him, a wonder that cannot be told to everyone.

"Let's go. Since it's our first time out of the village, let's go and have some fun."

Yukari waved back, and Chita rushed up, looking around to observe the sights he had never seen before.

"Don't miss it if you pass by. You can get admission to Oarai Hot Spring by guessing the riddle."

Not far away, a big man wearing a white scarf and a brown coat was shouting to greet the passers-by.

The big man has been soliciting customers at the door for many years. With his rich experience, he can tell at a glance that Yukari and the two are outsiders, and he can pinpoint the target like a radar.

"Don't leave, two guests. In celebration of our anniversary, we have launched a riddle-guessing hot spring activity. You only need to guess three questions correctly, and you will have a chance to win a three-day and two-night hot spring trip."

Just as Yukari was about to agree, he heard Chita shout angrily, "I'll do it!"

He stepped in front of the big man, lowered his head and pulled out the wooden stick from the bamboo tube with excitement.

"You go."

Yukari quickly lifted the hand that was still in the air back, pretending to touch her hair, and looked up at the sky.

"The trees are taller and taller. Wear a tasseled hat on the tall trees and shoot a plant."

The big man read out the riddle clearly and looked at Zhiduo with a smile on his face.

"reed."

"Correct, please listen to the next question."

"If you don't know how to read, just arrange the words. When autumn comes, when winter comes, beat an animal."

"Gan."

"Yeah, right again."

The big man looked at Zhiduo with admiration, and the smile on his face became wider.

"It is intangible when it is born, but it makes sounds when it moves around. It is not as hot in summer, but it is cold in winter. It is a natural object."

"wind."

The big man did not hide the admiration in his eyes. He took out two hot spring coupons from his pocket and stuffed them into Chita's palm.

"Take it, take it, you are the first person this year to answer all the questions correctly, and we will give you a luxurious dinner!

Don't stand at the door, go in quickly, someone will take you to the guest room to rest. "

Amidst the warm greeting of the big man, a child in a light blue kimono appeared respectfully at the door.

"You two, please follow me."

Yu Xiangli was led by the boy and walked through the winding wooden corridor. The faint scent of sandalwood floated around him, and the mottled light and shadow fell on the windows and coffins. Everything seemed warm and elegant.

"This is your guest room. If you need anything, please ring the wind chime at the door. Someone will provide you with attentive service soon."

"Thank you."

After the servant boy left, Yukari threw his luggage to the corner of the room and threw himself on the soft bed.

"Zhiduo, I really belong to you. I see that you are usually naive, but I didn't expect that you have such a bright mind."

“Hey, actually I didn’t think of it, but it was what I heard.

No matter if he asks ten, a hundred, or a thousand riddles, I can always answer them correctly. "

Hearing this, Yukari suddenly became interested and sat upright.

"How do you listen? I didn't hear any sound."

Zhiduo picked up the exquisite cakes on the wooden table, opened his mouth wide, and ate the fruit tea.

"I can hear what's going on in other people's minds."

An indistinct voice came out of his mouth, and Yukari covered her mouth in horror and widened her eyes when she saw how happy he was.

Damn it, I made a lot of complaints along the way. He must have heard everything.

"You...can you control yourself from listening to what others think?

For example, don’t listen to what I’m thinking. "

Now in front of him, Yukari felt like her thoughts were running naked, and she felt uncomfortable all over.

He stood up and walked languidly to the door, ready to shake the wind chime and ask the servant boy to find another room for him.

"Can't control it."

Zhiduo waved his hands indifferently, raised his buttocks and leaned forward, grabbing the tissue on the edge of the wooden table.

"But I can't hear you."
