Chapter 36 Staying Overnight

"I believe in myself too!" Ningci accepted Kai's trust without any humility. He had always lived in a peaceful era, and had a deeper understanding of peace than anyone else, and he yearned for and cherished peace more.

Neji reincarnated into the ninja world. Although he also experienced the death of Hyuga Hizashi, which was a big blow to him for a while and made Neji full of uneasiness, things did not develop to the worst in the end. Neji also understood Hizashi's choice. Those difficult days were over, and Neji didn't take it to heart anymore.

Later, Neji got to know many people, including Itachi Uchiha, Kakashi, Mike Kai, Rock Lee, Tiantian, and Hinata Hinata. All of them had their own stories and pursuits, and they all gradually influenced him. Holding Ningci gave him many more bonds in the ninja world. These bonds are treasures worth collecting and beautiful memories. Therefore, Neji believes that he will never bring greater misfortune and pain to the world because of suffering and misfortune like Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Obito, Nagato and others.

"Ningji, if you can't find a place to stay, we will have to sleep in the wild tonight. I believe you can't bear to let me, an injured teacher, end up like this." Kai was very happy in his heart, but he said Running around Neji.

"Don't worry, I will succeed!" Neji's self-confidence collapsed immediately, with a bitter look on his face. He really didn't expect that he would be stumped by a simple accommodation problem, which was really embarrassing.

"Dong dong dong dong!" Neci knocked on the door mechanically, no longer giving up hope of success.

"Who is it?" The door opened a small gap, and a young face leaked out. There were some traces of dust on the white face. A trace of alertness and vigilance could be seen from the leaked eyes, like observation. The little rabbits in the surrounding environment will run away at the slightest disturbance.

"We are ninjas from Konoha. We hope to stay at your house for a few days. If possible, we will pay you some expenses!" Neji repeated what he had said many times, thinking that it was already getting late. I just gave up this worthless behavior when I was knocking on several doors. The worst I could do was sleep in the wild with Kai.

"Ah, my house is very simple. Brother, if you don't mind, please come in and have a rest!" The owner of the little face sounded like she must be a girl. Although she was very wary, she still kindly took in Ningci and Kai. of lodging.

"Excuse me, let's go to the next house and ask!" Neji didn't notice the owner's consent. He still said the original words and turned back to prepare to go to the next house.

"Huh? Thank you very much for taking me in, we will pay you!" Neji turned back suddenly, reacted, and bowed to express his thanks to his master.

"Ah, no, no!" The girl seemed to be frightened by Neji's actions. She swung her hands repeatedly and took a few steps back. The door was suddenly opened.

Only then was Neji able to see the girl's full face. She was wearing gray clothes that were not patched. Although the clothes were very worn and had been washed and turned white in some places, they were very clean. She was a little short and she looked about eight or nine years old. Despite her age, her clothes were obviously very clean, but there was some dirt on her face, which made her look a little dirty. It seemed that she was trying to hide her appearance. Neji looked at the girl carefully and found that she looked very cute. She had a pair of pure eyes like a deer on her fair face. , revealing agility, but a little timid. It seems that the arrival of Neji and Kai shocked the girl. She has a small and rosy mouth, a straight nose, and her overall appearance is very delicate. Neji looked at the cute girl and suddenly understood why she had dirt on her face.

The ninja world is not safe. A little girl who is struggling to survive alone is not a happy thing if she looks too beautiful. It will only bring misfortune to herself who already lives a hard life. The world is so cruel, and sometimes beauty is His appearance can only be a source of disaster, especially for those who are unable to restrain his opponents.

Neji followed the girl, holding Kai in his hand, and did not get too close to the little girl, keeping a certain distance, because Neji knew that the little girl welcomed them into the house at the risk of danger and fear, and he had deep feelings in his heart. Worry, so in order to prevent the little girl from being too nervous and guarded, Neji's active distance helped the master relieve her inner timidity, and at the same time, it also reassured the girl.

Pushing open the door, the three of them entered the house. Neji and Kai carefully looked at the house. It could be said that the house was completely bare. Apart from a dilapidated wooden bed, a table and a few chairs, there was no other extra furniture. The tables and chairs looked shabby and must have been found or left over from many years ago. There is a water tank behind the door, and several large black ceramic bowls are placed next to it. There are uneven gaps on the sides of the bowls. Although the house is very simple, every item is smooth and visible. It can be seen that the owner loves cleanliness and has a love for life.

"Please use water. I don't have anything else at home to entertain you two. I'm so sorry!" The little girl held up a pottery bowl that was bigger than her own face. The bowl contained the finished water and carefully handed it over. Neji.

"Thank you, I still don't know what your name is?" Neci took the bowl of water and gently placed it on the table. He helped Kai to a chair and sat down, curiously asking the little girl her name.

"Xue Ying, my name is Xue Ying!" the girl blurted out.

"As pure as snow, as gorgeous as cherry blossoms, such a nice name!" Neji praised the girl's name.

"It's not as good as you said!" Xueying didn't seem to be used to being praised. She lowered her head a little shyly, and her face turned red, like a ripe apple.

"No, your person is better than your name!" Neji retorted, and Kai nodded in agreement.

"Teacher Kai, you take a rest here, I'll prepare some food!" There are a lot of supplies in the seal scroll on Ningji's body. Judging from the situation at Xueying's family, there shouldn't be any leftover food. I don't know what this little girl is like. What do you do for a living?

Ningci left the room and went to the yard. He found an open space and built a simple stove. He put the pots and pans he brought on the rack and added some water and white rice to prepare some rice. Although he prepared it himself He had eaten a lot of military food pills, but apart from being able to replenish energy, they had no taste at all and would cause some harm to the body. Therefore, Neji had never eaten them, and just prepared some just in case. , used in critical moments.

After a while, the fragrant rice will be cooked, and the fragrance of rice fills the yard.

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaw." A clearly audible belly rumbling sounded next to Ningci. Ningci looked sideways and saw that Xueying's little face was covered with red clouds, and her two little hands were twisted together, and she was really shrinking. Being together seems like we can hide ourselves.
