A very clever little girl, she also knows how to go home and find an adult. He just keeps talking about the train and I don’t know who he learned it from.

Izayoi smiled and followed the warm breath she left behind, slowly following her in the rear.

When the two of them arrived at the door of the water bug house, the little girl poked her head out of the simple window of the attic and was shocked as if she had seen a ghost.

There was another sound of stomping down the stairs, and there was a loud bang in the backyard. The owner of the Water Bug House rushed out of the house with a big hammer on his shoulder, and he was suddenly stunned in the middle of his stance.

"Yamako, didn't you say someone knocked on the door?"

The little girl named Yuzi hid in the main room and replied angrily: "You said they ran away without giving you money last time. Now that you have found them, they just want to have sex for free again."

"Don't say 'whoring'! Where did you learn that? How could a girl say such a thing!"

"Yes Yes Yes."

Yuzi squeezed out from behind her father carrying a towel whose background was unclear, and tossed it over her shoulder carelessly.

"Do you still want to wash your feet? First of all, my dad is only responsible for pedicures, not washing. I want to wash them, but he won't let me. You have to do it yourself."

He is straightforward in everything he says and does, and his mind is quick and quick.

Izayoi suddenly felt the urge to tease her.

"What if you really need help? Look at my clothes, they are not easy to take care of by yourself."

Yuzi rolled her eyes and yelled at her dad, who was chirping next to her.

"Come on. I'm almost ten years old, and other people have already gone out to make money to support the family. I can get married in two years! Taro and Jiro are still waiting for dinner."

The little girl counted on her fingers and discussed priorities with her father, showing the demeanor of the head of the family.

Izayoi watched the father and daughter quarreling with great interest, and suddenly an idea occurred to him.

"Are you planning to get married in two years?"

"Nonsense! I don't agree!" the owner of the Water Bug House jumped to his feet and shouted.

"It doesn't matter if you don't agree! I choose my own husband!" Yuzi shouted back with the momentum of not being at a disadvantage.

Bang bang bang! Izayoi applauded her.

"Well said. You are so old, you must have your own ideas."

The owner of the Water Bug House gave her a murderous look. Izayoi calmly put down his hands and stared at Yuzi with admiration.

"Even unknown men have the courage to choose for themselves. Do you have the courage to live in a different way?"

"Where are you taking me?"

Yuzi heard the implication of her words and took half a step back cautiously. The owner of the Water Bug House puffed up his chest and slammed the wooden hammer on the ground, creating a circle of cracks.

"I will not allow you to take Yuzi away. Unless I die!" He said solemnly.

Izayoi raised his eyebrows and spread his hands to express his helplessness. "Really? That's a pity. I am short of a maid to accompany me when I go out. I really hope that a well-behaved and smart girl can help pour some water when I check the accounts."

maid? Check the accounts? Just pour water? Aren't you a bartender at an izakaya?

Senju Kenta was stunned.

He couldn't help but look at his rebellious daughter, who glared at him and expressed her wish to go.

The daughter looks like her father, and Okja has a square face like him, with more white eyes than dark eyes. She stared and picked up her sleeves, no one in this street could beat her peers. Fortunately, she has the same appearance and skin as her mother. If she takes good care of her, she should be able to get rid of this malnourished tomboy look.

This girl was brought by Hashirama. Even if she runs an izakaya or a casino, she should not be a treacherous person.

Don't look at Hashirama being silly and having fun all day long, but he actually understands better than anyone else. He knows better than Tobirama who can be won over, who can be persuaded, and who can only be conquered by force. He is more flexible than Tobirama.

If he was really a bad person, he wouldn't have taken a liking to him at a glance and brought him here.

But what if, what if Okja is bullied? Those who give money are all uncles. Those who go out to earn a living must not lose their teeth and blood in order to earn so much hard money with a smiling face. It's not that he has no way out, but if he really can't, he shamelessly takes the child back. At the worst possible outcome, if he sacrifices himself to death, the children will finally be able to live a good life in the clan. Why let your daughter face the risks of life at a young age?

Yuzi looked at her father, her face was full of wrinkles. He was just over thirty, but he looked like his grandfather. He struggled a bit, but seemed to be making up his mind. Look at the eldest lady at the door. She is exquisitely dressed in three layers of inner and outer clothing. Her beautiful face is clean, and even the wooden clogs on the soles of her feet are spotless.

By comparison, it is easy to figure out who can make more money by following.

Yuzi turned around from behind her father and stared at her with a pair of sharp eyes.

"Can I really make money by following you?"

"I'm not saying it's 100% possible. But I'm absolutely sure that your life will be better than it is now."

Okja shook his head. "No. It's not enough for me alone. There are Dalang, Jiro, and my father. Although he failed to cure my mother, he tried his best. I can't leave him alone."

Kenta's mood was sweet and bitter. When Huaye died, she was just a little bit young. Unexpectedly, she never forgot and never mentioned it. Only today, as a father, does he know why his daughter has been obsessed with going out to make money.

He begged his eldest daughter with a mournful face: "Yuzi, it's my father who is useless. He failed to save my mother. If you want to blame, blame me."

Yuzi looked at him with a strange look on his face and asked: "Why should I blame you? Your injury was not healed at that time and you couldn't even get out of bed. Mom wanted to hide it from you, how else could you know? I am too, I am not tall, so I can't help This is a reality and something that cannot be changed. There is no point in trying to figure out who is right and who is wrong."

Her daughter is so sensible, which makes her own cowardice even worse. Kenta lowered his head in shame.

Izayoi just wanted to confirm whether this girl was worthy of education, and did not want to open up the old scars of their family, criticize and belittle their personality, and give them alms from the moral high ground.

Like Okja said, that makes no sense.

If you have time to lament and sigh, it is better to take action immediately and start practical work.

In fact, what their family needs most now is money. It was impossible to give it directly, and she was not the Virgin. The cost of saving one person is different from that of saving a group of people. If you want to get something, you have to fight for it with both hands.

In fact, if Hashirama hadn't obviously relaxed a lot here, which indirectly guaranteed the character of this store, she wouldn't have been able to recruit close personnel in such a chaotic street.

"If you want to support your brothers and your father at the same time, just serving tea and water is not enough."

Yuzi patted her chest and assumed a fighting stance. "I am also very good at fighting. No ordinary adult is my opponent. I can also do heavy work, such as carrying water and chopping firewood. I can do what women can do. I can also do what men can do!" "

"Have ambition." Izayoi nodded.

She liked this girl more and more. Although child labor is normal in this world, she feels increasingly sorry for it. Maybe you can slowly change things around you. Well - let's start with this girl.

"That would be such a waste of time. Now I have a commission that I need you to help with in your free time."

"It's absolutely not allowed to accompany you with drinks!" Kenta quickly interrupted.

Izayoi gave him a funny look, stroked her sleeves, and explained slowly: "There are no girls in izakayas. Gambling houses don't welcome children without money. You are worrying too much. I just need to be able to take on tasks at any time." team."

Team? Is she not the only one? Yuzi was a little confused. It's so cute for a child of her age to tilt her head, a pure natural loli.

Cough, I was wrong.

Izayoi brought his thoughts back without leaving a trace, and said with a smile: "There are some small things that don't pay much, and adults are unwilling to do them because they think they are too piecemeal. But they are very simple, even children can complete them. Tamako is so powerful, I don't know Can you call all your friends to help?"

Yuzi blinked and asked, "Tell me what it is first, and I'll think about it later. It's not that you don't want to, it's just that some children are thinner, and some are very naughty, and they are afraid of being scolded if they do something wrong. When they start crying, I can’t wait to run away.”

Izayoi laughed loudly, it had been a long time since he heard such cute children's words.

She gently touched Yuzi's messy hair and comforted: "Just help distribute the porridge and wash the pot. Every day, the sun rises and the sun sets. You take your friends to the construction site outside Nanbian Street and see a group of people. Where people are working, go find a man named Tianshu and ask him to assign you tasks."

Yuzi blinked and asked, "Is it enough to just make porridge?"

Izayoi used his fingers to comb through her knotted hair and tuck it all behind her shoulders.

"If it can be done that everyone is fed equally, the rest at the bottom of the pot can be disposed of as they wish."

A smile appeared on Yuzi's face, a rare and excited smile.

"Then it's settled! We'll start tonight! I'm going to spend the entire afternoon loosening up their muscles so that they won't be disobedient at night."

"it is good."

Izayoi squatted down and held her little finger with her.

"What does this mean?" Yuzi asked doubtfully.

"It means it's settled. Remember it. If you want to make an agreement with others in the future, don't forget to pull your little finger."

Yuzi raised her little finger and looked back and forth in novelty. Soft and smooth, just like the mother in my memory.

Izayoi nodded slightly to the father and daughter and left alone.

The father and daughter watched the last piece of green clothes disappear at the intersection. Yuzi glanced at her father and sighed again.

Senju Kenta stood leaning on the hammer dumbfounded and asked, "What's wrong? You got what you wanted, you finally got rid of the control of this old man like me."

Okja continued to sigh. "You are too old, too poor, and you are still a widower raising three children. Although you are handsome and tall, people will not consider such a person. Alas!"

Kenta was stunned for a moment, then scolded in a dumbfounded way: "Kid, don't think nonsense! I plan to protect your father from your mother for the rest of my life!"

Yuzi complained unconvinced. "What if such a good sponsor runs away in the future? Not to mention running away, what if someone harms her? Didn't you say that there are many bad people in this place and you won't let me run around? That sister looked at She is as weak as my mother. A slight wind or rain would probably kill her. If I hadn't discovered her just now, the guys in the alley might have taken action."

Hiss—Kanako died of a cough after being exposed to the rain. Kenta couldn't refute.

He ruffled his daughter's hair hard and said in a rough voice: "That's not something you, a kid, should consider. She must be much more powerful than you see. Go back to eat first, your brothers will wake up soon. I But I can’t deal with them!”

Yuzi followed her father's push and entered the door, mumbling in her mouth. "Think I am a child again. But when I touched her with my own hands, her hands were colder than my mother's."

"Okay, okay! I get it, I get it! Go get her a doctor now, okay!"

Yuzi made a grimace at him and darted up the stairs, revealing a disheveled head. She shouted: "Don't invite that stupid big guy from last time. At first glance, you can tell he's big and thick and doesn't know how to treat illnesses. Be careful of hurting Mr. Ji Jun."

"Go, go, go! Before I even got to do anything, I started calling you Lord Ji. Are you ashamed?"

Kenta was amused by the child's words.

If not Hashirama, who can he invite? Should I invite Tobirama? It's hard to say whether that boy Tobirama recognizes him or not, of course he can only look for Hashirama. What's more, the pillars are called five major and three coarse. They are obviously coarse and fine. Among Lord Buddha's several children, he has been the most outstanding since childhood. When he grew up, he became the god of ninja praised by everyone in the ninja world. He perfectly inherited the immortal body and blood of Senju, and even awakened the wood escape ninjutsu that is said to be only available to gods.

If he can't be cured, I'm afraid no one in the world can cure that Ji Jun.

Kenta returned to the backyard where he was working, put down the wooden awl, rummaged around to find a piece of crumpled paper, took out a stick of dark charcoal from the furnace, drew on the ground, and there were marks, and then He lay on the lid of the boiling pot and wrote a letter.

"Last time, the girl got lost and was picked up by Yuzi. She was going to take Yuzi away and learn from her. This girl is a nice person. If you haven't forgotten, I'll try it out for you first."

"By the way. Yuzi said she was not in good health. You know this child, she was the one who found out that Huaye was dying. Next time you come and see, treat it if you can. If not, don't worry about it. Let Yuzi accompany you. Let her finish the last stretch."
