Chapter 406 Temporary Closure

How come...here...

Chiba stopped in her tracks, raised her head, and looked at the Konoha Maruko shop with "temporarily closed" posted in front of her.

He was walking all the way to the remote cabin in the village, but he came here without knowing it.

And here, the Konoha Maruko shop, is Kanno's home.

At this time, outside the closed Konoha Maruko shop, besides Chiba, there was a five or six-year-old girl with one hand in her mouth, frowning, watching the "temporary closure" A few words, it seems to be wondering why these four words are hung, or what the four words mean, why the meatball shop is not open yet.

Is this... red beans?

Qianye looked at the little girl, and a thought came to her mind.

At this time, it seemed that he was a regular customer of the meatball shop. An old man with gray temples passed by and stopped when he saw the "temporary closure" of the meatball shop.

Afterwards, as if it had been agreed upon, several older men stopped by.

"The door hasn't been opened yet! It's been a long time."

"Oh... that kid Xiaowu..."

"I really hope Xiaozheng and Chunzi cheer up soon..."

After watching for a while, these elderly people sighed and dispersed, leaving behind the little red bean who was still looking at the hanging sign, and Chiba who silently watched these old people leave.

That's right... I am not the only one who is saddened by Guan Ye's death.

Qianye looked at the closed door and the regular customers who had gone away, and remained silent, but the grief in his heart surged, and for a while, he couldn't move his steps.

if……

Along with the grief, there are all kinds of ifs that have been floating in his mind for the past few days. Before he knew it, his fists were clenched tightly.

"Squeak..."

At this time, the door of Wanzi's point was pushed open from the inside, and an ordinary middle-aged woman came out from it.

Immediately, both Xiao Hongdou and Chiba looked over.

However, the middle-aged woman's eyes were red and swollen, her complexion was haggard, the wrinkles around her eyes seemed to be much more than those of her peers, and her lips were even more dry, as if they were about to split.

Qianye could tell that this was the expression after a great change and excessive sadness. And he didn't need to think about it to know that this should be Guan Ye's mother. Coupled with the comments from the regular customers before, this middle-aged woman should be called Guan Ye Chunzi.

After all, the original work is a Japanese manga, and many common senses are also Japanese, such as women changing their surnames after they get married.

At the end of the original work, after Sakura married Sasuke, she also changed her name to Uchiha Sakura. Even Hinata, the noble daughter of the Hyuga clan, changed her surname Uzumaki Hinata after marrying Naruto.

Since Guan Ye's surname is Guan Ye, his father's surname must also be Guan Ye, and after his mother changed her surname, she must also be Guan Ye.

In fact, Chiba's series of instinctive associations are absolutely correct. This middle-aged woman is Guan Yewu's mother, Guan Ye Chunzi.

At this time, Guan Yechunzi, the first thing he saw was Xiaohongdou. Seeing the appearance of Hongdou biting his finger, he showed a haggard smile full of warmth, and said, "It's Xiaohongdou! I'm so sorry that I'm so closed. Long."

"So is it open today?" Xiaohongdou asked crisply.

"It's open!" Seeing her favorite little red bean, the sadness between Guan Yechunzi's brows seemed to be relaxed.

Hearing that she could eat meatballs, Xiaohongdou immediately became happy, and at the same time hugged Guanye Chunzi's arm, and said affectionately: "Aunt Chunzi, take me in quickly."

Apparently, he didn't expect Xiaohongdou to make such an intimate gesture. Guanye Chunzi was stunned for a moment, then hugged Xiaohongdou with a smile on his face, and said, "Okay, okay, I'll take you to eat right away."

This little girl, what happened today! so boring...

Hongdou came to eat meatballs almost every day, and Guan Yechunzi was very close to her, and it was the first time Hongdou hugged her today.

At this moment, Hongdou, who was picked up, wrapped her hands around Guan Yechunzi's neck, but there was a trace of sadness in her eyes, and she looked at a seat she often sat in the meatball shop.

And on the opposite side of that position is the place where the gentle Guanye brother known as the big idiot often eats breakfast.

This scene completely fell into Qianye's eyes.

Red bean, this is not a gluttonous meatball!

It's comforting Haruko Guanye! It turns out that the relationship between Guanye and Hongdou is also very good!

Qianye followed Xiaohongdou's gaze and looked inward, the sadness in Hongdou's eyes naturally couldn't escape his eyes.

After feeling Hongdou's sadness, Chiba's fists clenched even tighter.

hateful!

Although Guan Ye is an idiot, he is really a good person! Still a trustworthy friend!

Not only me, but many people like him...

Why... I couldn't have been earlier, why couldn't I have gotten rid of the Seven Ninja Swords earlier!

Why... can't...

A series of annoyances spewed up, Qianye suddenly turned around, gritted his teeth, and with these annoyances, hurriedly walked back.

Because, at this time, Guanye Chunzi was holding the red beans, turning around, and going to the meatball shop.

But at this moment, Guanye Chunzi, who turned around and came, was taken aback.

In her eyes, she saw a small back who lowered his head and clenched his fists, and hurried away.

this child...

At this time, Chiba wanted to leave here as soon as possible, and he felt ashamed to face Guan Ye's parents.

At this moment, Qianye took only a few steps in a hurry, and a voice came from behind: "Wait a minute, child!"

The voice of Haruko Kanno!

Chiba's heart trembled, and she stopped subconsciously.

"You are... Chiba, right?"

At this time, Guanye Chunzi's voice came again.

Qianye was startled, but she didn't answer. Instead, she lowered her head and was about to step out in a hurry.

"It's really Chiba! Wait a minute!" Seeing that Chiba was about to leave, Haruko Guanye, who was holding the red beans, hurried a few steps, and by the way, shouted into the store: "My child's father, it's Chiba ! Chiba is here!"

"What?"

A hoarse voice suddenly sounded from inside the door. Although the voice was hoarse, the decibels were not small. Obviously, the people inside the door were also startled.

But hearing this, Chiba walked even faster.

it's all my fault! They are here to blame me! Did not protect Guanye!

that's true! I can't even guarantee the safety of Guan Ye, what kind of friend am I!

No!

Perhaps, they think that I, the son of a traitor, killed Guan Ye! After all... Guan Ye and I were together, and I heard that they received a lot of criticism.

Thinking of this, Qianye felt even more ashamed, and even a little scared.

"My child's father! You hurry up! You must catch up with Chiba!" Guan Yechunzi stopped, Chiba was walking too fast, it was inconvenient for her to hold the red beans, knowing that she couldn't catch up, she stopped, and turned her head anxiously Guan Yezheng, who was chased out of the meatball shop, shouted.

"Okay, I will definitely catch up!"

Seeing Qianye walking faster and faster, Guan Yezheng didn't care too much, and ran up directly, chasing after him.
