Naruto: Rice to Biography Chapter 175: Go South(1/2)
"Mother-in-law?"
When he woke up from the darkness, he didn't know how long he had been sleeping, but the person who appeared in front of him was the old woman who gave him a stick of mustard as a gift.
Lying on the bed and being stared at by the old woman, she naturally felt a little strange. Mi got up from the bed and bowed to the old man, and then thought for a moment.
When the mother-in-law saw that the child was already awake, the corners of her wrinkled mouth raised kindly, without any of the serious expression she had before.
"It seems that there is nothing serious about your health. If you want to find Jiraiya, you will have to wait here for a day."
"Ah? Master Jiraiya, where did he go?"
The latest memory in Mi Gei's mind is the scene on the Bone Mountain.
He lowered his head and shifted his gaze to his neck. He looked at his clothed chest and recalled that his chest had been pierced by a bone spear. He did not dare to imagine what the condition was like under his clothes.
"Looking at your face, you are almost in good health. There is no need to worry anymore."
Of course the old woman could see the panic on Mi Gei's face. After all, according to Jiraiya's explanation, the child had suffered fatal injuries.
"I say you are really lucky. You were able to meet Tsunade-hime, and you have the help of the rejuvenated Tsunade-hime and the hero Jiraiya. My child, you are so lucky that others can't even envy you."
"..."
Mi finally understood what the old man meant.
He indeed no longer felt the pain in his chest. Perhaps he felt that the injury on his chest had really been healed by Tsunade!
I saw him holding up his clothes without any embarrassment, and without the white sleeves covering his chest, the round piece of new flesh on his chest looked particularly dazzling.
"This is it! This is Tsunade-hime and I'm here!"
Mi Gei gently touched the new mark on his chest. He felt the touch on his chest with his heart. He felt very incredible about his situation!
"Sparasi!"
My eyes slowly filled with tears, and I felt the smooth breath in my chest, as if I had been reborn, it was unbelievable!
"I thought my life would end here, just like a trip to hell."
The old woman stared at the sobbing child in front of her, with a slight smile on her lips.
"My child, so you are lucky to have survived the catastrophe. It seems that you will grow into a powerful person in the future."
"After all, there are very few people in this world who can have examples of resurrection from the dead."
"After suffering this kind of experience, you may have become stronger mentally."
The old woman opened the door and window of the bedroom, and a ray of sunshine shone in from the outside. The weather was as beautiful as this bright ray of sunshine.
"The days to come should be like this sunshine. If a person is injured, it will be a rainy day. Then after he recovers his health, he should naturally walk under this bright sunshine."
"My child, you have already gotten up and gone for a walk."
After saying that, the old lady walked out with a smile on her face, and her eyes also contained her longing for the future life.
"That's right, I don't know how many days I've been lying in bed, but I no longer feel any pain in my body. It's time to go out and take a look."
He opened the door completely and walked out slowly. Outside was the old woman's courtyard that he had seen before. The shelves in the courtyard were still full of materials used to make mustard.
"..."
Looking at the shelves full of mustard ingredients outside, Mi Gei felt a little strange in her heart, and slowly walked towards the wasabi shelf.
The legs on this shelf are the same ones that he broke off, but they can still be used because they are connected with new ones using wooden dings.
"Young man, looking at you, it seems that you are used to it."
The old woman was carrying a basket of wasabi in her hand. She wanted to replace the wasabi with the drying materials on the shelf.
"Habit?"
Not sure what the old man meant by habit, Mi pointed at his chest, obviously confused.
"Mother-in-law, is this the wound you are talking about?"
"This wound is completely healed. I feel that my body is completely full of strength now. My resurrected body is really more energetic!"
After answering his mother-in-law, Mi Gaishou knew that the old man needed to take the basket off the shelf, so he directly put the basket down.
The old woman slowly piled the things on the basket aside, and then spread the new ones on top. With the help of rice, this work has indeed become much easier than before.
"Sure enough, young people have good physical strength, unlike an old woman like me."
"However, the habit I'm talking about doesn't mean your physical trauma."
The old woman grabbed a handful of mustard ingredients from the basket and put them in front of Migui.
"Young man, you didn't realize it yourself. During the two days you stayed at your mother-in-law's house, you got used to the pungent smell of mustard."
Mi Gei looked at the mustard in the old woman's hand and was suddenly shocked.
That's right, when he first came to the old woman's courtyard two days ago, he couldn't stand the smell of mustard in the courtyard. But now, he can actually be so close to the mustard material.
This means that he has become resistant to the taste of mustard.
"I see."
He also grabbed a handful of mustard from the basket and slowly placed it in front of his face.
Although my nose is not as resistant to mustard as before
It smells like mustard, but you can always smell the mustard flavor, and it's still a bit irritating.
"Not bad, it seems that you are really used to it. Ordinary people, the resistance to this mustard material is definitely not as strong as you are now."
"From this point of view, I think I should give you some more mustard before you leave. Maybe you will fall in love with eating this."
"..."
Facing the old man's enthusiasm, Mi was stunned.
In fact, he still has no interest in things like mustard. After all, he will never use mustard as long as it doesn't get on it.
"No need, mother-in-law, the one you gave me before is enough. Besides, I'm still a little resistant to the taste of mustard."
Hey, hey, hey, Mi Gei had a fake smile on his face. He really couldn't imagine what a terrifying sight it would be like to put that green mustard in his mouth!
The old woman was just arranging the wasabi on the basket. She also knew that it would take a long time to eat good mustard. After all, if it is not a personal preference for something like mustard, if you want to eat it well, you have to grow up with it.
Eating habits over time.
"Okay, I won't force you, but my mother-in-law has a lot of mustard here. Anyway, you must take more with you when you leave."
"It can be considered a gift from me to repay you for clearing Orochimaru's base outside Wasabi Village."
Mi Gei quickly stood up and bowed slightly towards the old man again.
"In that case, you're welcome, thank you very much!"
I couldn't refuse it repeatedly, so I had to reluctantly accept it. After all, it was a kind of condiment. Thinking of my own ramen restaurant, although the demand for mustard sauce was not very big, since someone gave it to me, it was a good thing.
After helping the old lady pack away the things on the shelves, I looked at the street outside the yard and saw that it was no longer as deserted as before, and the villagers were busy running around on the village road again.
"Without Orochimaru's intrusion, the lives of the villagers will continue to get better. I never thought that I, an old woman, would still be able to see the good days of Wasabi Village. Maybe this is God's will."
The old man is also in a good mood. It seems that the harm Orochimaru did to the village has indeed caused a crisis to the village.
"Old woman."
The children in the village passed by the yard, greeted the elderly people in the yard, and then buzzed away like a swarm of bees.
"The child is so carefree in the village. This is all thanks to you. Your kindness to Konoha will never be forgotten by us in Wasabi Village."
Shan Ye Xiongjian suddenly walked out of the house. I don't know when, but he was already in the house.
"Uncle Shanye!"
Uncle Shan Ye, who was originally silent and serious, also smiled, as if all the stones in his heart had been dropped. He looked much more relaxed.
"You can rest assured, Yuken. Now this child has woken up. In this case, he has completed the mission entrusted by Jiraiya!"
Shanye Xiongjian also bowed to the old man, and his behavior was very polite. From this respectful attitude, it can be seen that the two people seem to have a relationship.
"Thank you, mother. Motoko is no longer here, and thanks to mother, you have taken good care of this boy. From now on, the development of the village will definitely be better."
The old woman nodded with great affection. She saw the golden ring on Shan Ye's strong hand. This ring matched her daughter's.
"Suzi will definitely be proud of you. Although she has passed away many years ago, she will feel comforted in heaven with your thoughts in her mind."
"I see."
Mi Gei suddenly realized that this was the old woman's son-in-law. Looking at Shanye with his head lowered, he understood why this man wanted to go to Orochimaru's base in person.
Even if I knew there was no hope, I still had to go and see for myself the place where Motoko last existed.
"terribly sorry!"
Shanye Xiongjian was very upset that he had failed to protect his daughter. Some people could only see the beautiful days of Mustard Village in the sky.
"It's really touching."
Although he said that he could not see the specific things that happened, from the atmosphere, it was obvious that the family's affairs were ruined by Orochimaru.
"That guy Orochimaru is really bad. If I meet him again, I will beat him until he becomes a ghost!"
