Ordinary People's Guide to Survival

Chapter 8 There is no such thing as a free lunch

Just like that, we greeted and sent off, and the whole day passed quickly, and even lunch was settled with the guests.

It was dusk, and when the last guest left contentedly, Hoshimi Liuyuan stood up with his arms around Ito, twisted his sore neck caused by sitting for a long time, and the rattling sound made him grit his teeth inelegantly.

Takeshi Ito let his owner's upper half hang on his body, supported him for a walk slowly, and couldn't help complaining: "You can completely reject these people. If Haru was here, I would have discouraged you from resting long ago!"

Seeing that he didn't hear the other party's complaint, Liu Yuanxing smiled and comforted him, "Don't you think chatting with different people is very interesting?"

"As the saying goes, three people must have my teacher. Communicating with different individuals is the process of observing their life experiences to make up for their own shortcomings. What I do in Zhuangzi, you all just agree. After a long time, I will feel I am omnipotent, today these people come with different purposes, and their knowledge and cultivation are different, and I have learned a lot from chatting with them."

"You are always very reasonable!" Ito was a little unwilling and didn't know how to refute, so he said, "Then you should take care of your body!"

"Okay, you can't catch up with your daughter-in-law like a mother-in-law!" Liu Yuanxing teased with a smile.

As if thinking of something, Takeshi Ito was embarrassed for a while, his black face was blushing.

Today is indeed very tired, the body has already issued a warning, the excitement has passed, Liu Yuanxing is leaning against the bed, looking listless, Ito Takeshi is a little worried, and volunteered to ask the doctor to come over.

When I came back, there was no doctor behind me.

Liu Yuanxing saw that there was something wrong with his expression, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Takeshi Ito pursed his lips, his expression a bit resisted, and he didn't really want to answer, but under the gaze of the Lord, he finally said, "There is someone outside the door asking to see you."

Xingjian Liu Yuan looked at the night sky that had completely darkened, and sat upright, "Who is it? Please come here."

Takeshi Ito didn't move, and begged with frowning eyebrows, "It's so late, you should also rest, it's not too late to ask them to come back tomorrow!"

"It's still so late to pass the news in, so the status should not be low."

Liu Yuanxing saw that his throat was a little itchy, took a sip of the boiled water in Ito's hand, and continued: "People with status know that this is not the normal time to visit, but he still came, which means that there must be something that cannot be delayed."

He smiled brightly at his loyal subordinates, "Go and invite someone in, it won't be good if you delay things!"

Liu Yuanxing saw that the subordinates were not afraid of the lord's anger, but were afraid of the lord's expression.Takeshi Ito has nothing to do with it, so he can only obediently go to the door to invite someone.

Liu Yuanxing asked behind his back, "Remember not to make a bad face!"

Takeshi Ito murmured vaguely, which was regarded as an answer.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi and Dan Shimura hid outside the gate and walked back and forth, visiting at such a late hour, it would be good if they don't get kicked out, but they can't help it.

When they came here in the morning, there was already a long queue at the door of Mr. Xingjian. Regardless of their priority or status, they could only wait. only then.

The two looked at each other, and they both saw anxiety in each other's eyes.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura were welcomed in without waiting long, followed behind the samurai, and as soon as they reached the door, they heard a suppressed low cough coming from the room.

The samurai quickened his pace in an instant, and ran into the room past the two of them.

The two of them followed closely, and saw the samurai entering the room draping the snow-white fox fur on his thin shoulders.

Liu Yuanxing held the fox fur with his hands, and the wide sleeves slid down to reveal half of his slender wrist. The blue blood vessels on it were distinct, making his skin even paler than the colorless fox fur.

He raised his eyes to look at the person coming, and invited with a smile: "You haven't eaten yet, do you want to eat some together?"

It's not to blame them for not knowing etiquette, nor to ask the reason directly, but to ask "Are you hungry" with concern like a friend.

Konoha, who was used to the big shots in the capital, was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he felt more and more guilty about disturbing the other party's rest in the middle of the night.

As the leader, Hiruzaru Sarutobi reacted faster, knelt and sat opposite Hoshimi Liuyuan, and said straight to the point: "Thank you for your kindness, I don't need to eat. I planned to visit you tomorrow, but I just received the news that Konoha needs We rushed back immediately, so we came to say goodbye to you at this time, sorry to disturb your rest!"

It was dry, and it looked like the kind of diplomatic rhetoric that had been swirled in his mouth several times beforehand.

Seeing this, Liu Yuanxing burst out laughing, "It's okay."

Seeing that the other party was stunned, he explained: "It doesn't matter if you don't need to speak politely here, as long as you feel comfortable!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi stuttered a little, having experienced strong winds and waves, "This, how is this possible!"

In the early years, he also said what he had to say, and went straight to the point, but when he took over as Hokage and started interacting with the adults in the capital, he encountered a lot of contempt and language traps because of the way he spoke. Danzo ridiculed it as "a politician among ninjas" and "disgusting tone".

"Speaking is for communication, and there is no limit to which method. If the other party's understanding is misunderstood because of inadequate expression, then it is putting the cart before the horse."

Liu Yuanxing smiled and said: "What's more, there are specialties in the arts, and everyone has their own way of life. There is no need to imitate others."

In these years, no one has ever said to him: You just need to be yourself.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked into the boy's eyes, there was an ocean inside, and the name of the ocean was tolerance and gentleness, as long as he looked at those sparkling eyes, he seemed to have touched the greatest kindness in the world, no matter how hard his heart was. Iron or scarred, as long as you soak in it, you can feel the warm presence.

This made him think in a trance of the person he admired the most in his youth, that person also had such a pair of eyes!

He was dazed for just a moment, and even Danzo, who knew him well, didn't notice his distraction.

When he spoke again, Hiruzaru Sarutobi's state obviously relaxed a lot, "It's like this, aren't you going to Konoha, there are Konoha ninjas who just finished the mission nearby, let them escort you there!"

For the kindness of others, Liu Yuan Xingjian has always been reluctant to refuse.

He tilted his head and asked, "Will it be too much trouble?"

"No no! They'll be delighted to see you!"

Liu Yuanxing reacted quickly, "I know him? Is it the Jonin who led the team who was stationed in Taoyuan Township before?"

Yuan Feiri nodded, "It's Hatake Kakashi and Maitkai, you should be familiar with them."

"It's Kakashi and Kai, it's been a long time!" Hoshimi Liuyuan covered his hands with a cup of hot tea, "It's really a pleasure to see old friends during this time!"

He narrowed his eyes with a smile, "You are so considerate!"

Sarutobi Hiruza couldn't help laughing, "Speaking of which, the members of the third class led by Kai are about the same age as you, maybe you can become good friends."

This sentence made Shimura Danzo, who had been sitting quietly beside him, snort coldly.

I don't know whether he is mocking Hiruzaru Sarutobi's whimsy, thinking that nobles and ninjas can be friends, or whether he thinks it is ridiculous that Mr. Hoshimi, who is elegant and weak, will have a topic to talk about with a boy who only knows how to kill ninjas.

The two looked at each other and ignored him with kindness.

Liu Yuan Xingjian looked very happy, "My friends of the same age have always been very few, I think this journey will not be boring."

Mr. Xingjian has a characteristic. When he wants to thank or praise someone, his eyes and actions are full of sincerity. This kind of emotion can easily infect others and make them happy too.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had accurately accepted his gratitude at this time, and the haze left by the conversation with the daimyo turned into ashes under the smile as warm as the spring sun.

He became more and more determined about what to do next.

Seeing that it was getting late, the two left after clarifying the matter, and prepared to return to Konoha overnight. Seeing that Liu Yuanxing didn't stay any longer, he just told Ito to bring food for them to satisfy their hunger on the way.

When the last breath of the two of them disappeared completely, a woman came out from behind the screen in the room.

Liu Yuan Xingjian put the cold tea aside, put his hands together to keep warm, and did not show any surprise to the sudden appearance.

"You heard it all, why didn't you see them?"

The woman knelt down on the spot where Sarutobi Hiraku had sat just now, poured herself a glass of water and drank it in one gulp, "It's not necessary."

Liu Yuanxing persuaded: "I heard that Master Hokage of the third generation is looking for you everywhere. You really don't intend to send a message back? It's good to report that you are safe, after all, he is a master who cares about you."

"Are you annoying or not? Are you older or I am older!"

The woman, that is, Tsunade slapped the table with her hand, and said in a vicious voice, "Stretch out your hand, and I'll show you."

"There's no need for that!" Liu Yuanxing looked helpless, "I've been very good these past few days, I didn't steal anything I shouldn't eat, and I didn't go out in the middle of the night to have a wind, and even my coughing became much lighter. I feel good. , really don’t need a diagnosis!”

"I can't stretch it!"

Meet Liu Yuanxing: ...

Obediently pass the wrist over.

The wide sleeves made the wrist more slender and pale, and it was too tight to grasp. No matter how many times he grabbed it, Tsunade still subconsciously relaxed his strength.

Seeing her being as cautious as a thief, put two fingers on her wrist first, and then put her whole hand on after making sure there is no problem, Liu Yuanxing became more and more helpless, "I'm not made of porcelain, you really don't need to be so careful .”

Tsunade sneered.

It was the first time she saw a doctor for Liu Yuan Xingjian, and she clearly controlled her strength to the minimum, but unfortunately, bruises were left on her fragile and pale skin. People who didn't know thought she was deliberately retaliating, which made everyone in Taoyuan Township... I didn't like her very much, and for a long time, she didn't do anything well, and then I realized that it was everyone who worked together to find a place for their beloved lord.

Hoshimi Liuyuan obviously thought of this too, touched his nose in embarrassment, and obediently let Tsunade play with it.

"I think you should understand that overthinking is not good for your health, especially for you. You should rest on time. Don't think that you can be willful if you leave Taoyuan Township and Chun and the others can't see you."

A ball of green light floated from Tsunade's hand, covering Liu Yuan Xingmi's body, the shiny light ball exuded the vitality of spring, which made the young man's beautiful pale face a bit more vivid, but when She withdrew the ninjutsu, and within a few minutes, her rosy cheeks became bloodless again.

It was as if Liu Yuanxing saw a monster in his body that was devouring his vitality non-stop. No matter how much medical energy was put into it, it would be like a mud cow into the sea, but it disappeared in a moment.

Even though he has seen such scenes many times, Tsunade still couldn't help sighing, "It seems that the improved Palm Immortal Art is still useless to you."

Hoshimi Liuyuan knew his specific situation.

His illness is no longer physical, it is because the body cannot achieve the strength of the soul that it appears weak.Every minute and every second, the powerful soul is breaking through the fragile organs, and then the next second, the energy of the soul will be fed back to the organs to help heal the wounds, and this cycle repeats, so that his body can maintain vitality under a delicate balance , not to collapse immediately.

The external treatment methods only made him feel better, without any practical effect.

He said this many times, but his subordinates still went around looking for all kinds of medicinal materials and skilled doctors for him. They tried so hard for his sake that Liu Yuanxing couldn't say the words of rejection.

Well, it's nice to have a good night's sleep, isn't it?

He thought so, and finally cooperated obediently.

And this kind of performance made the subordinates work harder.

So much so that people in the whole continent now know that the people in Taoyuan Township are cunning and difficult to deal with, and they are the worst to deal with, but if you offer precious medicinal materials or find a skilled doctor, you are sure to win their favor.

Hoshi Liuyuan just wanted to reassure Tsunade that this is not your problem, when she saw this woman became excited, "You are really a good material for experiments, since I treated you, my level of medical ninjutsu has improved compared to the past few decades It's too fast!"

Liu Yuanxing saw a black thread, "Experimental material?"

"Oh, oh, don't worry about these little things!"

Tsunade laughed wildly, leaned forward and asked expectantly: "According to your situation, I recently created a new kind of ninjutsu, which can accelerate wound healing by accelerating cell growth. I named it Baihao technique, do you want to try it? Maybe it will be useful!"

Ignoring the expectations in his big eyes, Liu Yuanxing refused coldly, "No, how can such a heaven-defying technique have no side effects."

With just one sentence, he saw through the fact he was concealing. Tsunade admired him in his heart. He is extremely intelligent and calm, unmoved by external objects, and has a good temper. If he is not sick, he is undoubtedly the son of God. La!

"Uh... it's not a big price, it's just a few years less lifespan."

"Forget it, I want to live a few more years!"

Being rejected, Tsunade didn't have much regret.

She was originally here to tease this calm young man, even if Liu Yuan Xingjian agreed, she would not perform spells, unless she wanted to be chased to the ends of the earth by those crazy fans in Taoyuan Township.
