"I must kill that old bastard! Let me go, or I'll chop you up too later!"
"If you're not afraid of being dismembered by me at sea and thrown into the sea to feed the fish, you can do it now."
Hidan's tone choked, seemingly finally remembering the fact that he couldn't beat the other party now, and then gritted his teeth and said, "You're ruthless, what do you want?"
"Stay here obediently for one night, and we'll leave tomorrow."
"Okay, but that old man, I'll chop him up sooner or later!"
Slap!
"Chop, chop, chop, all you know is chop! You're competing with an old man who has trouble walking, are you very proud?"
Hidan immediately covered his head, glared his eyes and shouted: "Bastard! You and that old man are all dead!"
"Just you? Say one more word, and I'll cut your kidneys tonight, stir-fry them and add them to the dish!"
"You! Bas..."
"Hmm?"
Hidan subconsciously closed his mouth and put his hands on his waist. Obviously, he didn't like the dish of stir-fried kidney flowers, especially if it was made with his own kidneys.
And Shinji, seeing that Hidan was finally cooperating a little, also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
After all, even if he joined a terrifying organization like the Jashin Sect, he also had his own bottom line.
At least he couldn't do things like attacking ordinary people for no reason and massacring villagers.
Of course, if someone wanted to harm him first, then he wouldn't be a saint either.
The word killing was once very far away for him, but now it forced him to be mentally prepared early.
Who made this a world where the big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat the shrimp.
Without enough strength to protect himself, he was afraid that he would die from an unknown one day, and he wouldn't even know who the murderer was!
And no one would stand up for him and seek justice!
Before long, Shinji and Hidan followed the old man back home.
"Grandpa, hug~"
As soon as he entered the door, the old man skillfully and gently picked up his eldest grandson, who was jumping over with short legs, and the smile on his face instantly bloomed!
"Lift high~"
"Okay, okay, lift high!"
"Higher, higher~"
"Flying~"
"Father, the meal is ready. Who are these two?"
The old man was enjoying the family happiness to the fullest. If his daughter-in-law hadn't come out and asked him, he would have almost forgotten Shinji and the two at the door.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot. These two young men are from outside, and they happened to pass by our village. Prepare two more pairs of chopsticks later, and then simply clean up the room inside, they'll stay for one night and leave."
"Okay, father, I understand."
The daughter-in-law looked like a well-behaved and thrifty person, but she seemed to be unaccustomed to communicating with strangers, so she quickly drilled back into the kitchen.
"Sit anywhere, there are cups there if you want to drink water, pour it yourself."
The old man greeted them and then teased his eldest grandson, making the little guy laugh non-stop.
Seeing this scene, Shinji suspected that the old man's previous words were actually meaningful.
"You have to watch your brother. There are many women and children in the village..."
Was he worried that Hidan would harm his family?
This was indeed an overthinking, Hidan didn't even look at the woman in the house, and was now gulping down the cold well water, seemingly really thirsty.
Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that he was dehydrated in his head and needed to replenish it.
Soon, the woman just now came out with the cooked food.
The dishes were very simple, just three.
They were scrambled eggs with green peppers, vegetable soup, and pickled radish.
Not only could he not see the shadow of meat, but it seemed that even this scrambled eggs with green peppers was just temporarily stir-fried, most likely because there were guests at home.
Originally, there wasn't enough rice either, so they only made so much, and it was too troublesome to cook it now.
Fortunately, Shinji and Hidan still had some unfinished dry food, which they could take out to deal with.
It could be seen that the family's living conditions were still somewhat difficult.
It wasn't to the point of not being able to make ends meet, but that was all.
As a person with emotional intelligence, Shinji understood in his heart that they had already taken out the best things in their home to entertain them, and he should be grateful rather than picky.
But obviously, Hidan didn't think so.
He just stirred the dishes a few times with his chopsticks, and then completely lost interest.
Even the expression on his face suddenly became stinky, as if he was disdainfully saying: "Is that all? You're giving Hidan-sama this kind of pig food?"
"I want to eat pork cutlet, not pig s— um um!"
Shinji quickly covered Hidan's broken mouth again, and then said with a smiling face: "I'm sorry, my idiot brother's brain disease has relapsed, and he's always talking nonsense."
"Um um um um um um..." (You're the one with a brain disease! Believe it or not, I'll kill your whole family, you bastard!)
"What is he saying?"
"Oh, he just said that the food was so delicious that he bit his tongue."
"Um um um um um!" (Bullshit! Hidan-sama won't eat this kind of pig food!)
The old man nodded, "Although your unlucky brother doesn't look very smart, at least he has some taste."
"Aya's cooking skills are famous throughout the village. Every time there's a feast, those so-called masters take the initiative to assist Aya..."
"Okay, father, don't say any more. Those are... all things of the past." The woman was a little shy, and her face turned red in her anxiety.
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention wasn't on him, Shinji immediately whispered in Hidan's ear: "Don't cause trouble, I'll definitely let you kill enough when we get to the Land of Waves."
"Hmph!"
Hidan knocked off Shinji's hand, snorted coldly, but really didn't act impulsively again.
Maybe this was the legendary one thing subdues another.
Diverting from this topic, Shinji asked curiously: "Old man, why don't I see your son?"
As soon as this topic was mentioned, the movements of the old man and the woman paused, and then the old man sighed heavily.
"He's gone. A few years ago, two groups of ninjas ran in from I don't know where and turned the village upside down."
"A fireball as big as a house just smashed down like that... My poor child didn't even have time to run out, alas!"
"It's all my fault, if it wasn't for me, if I could have run faster, Shota wouldn't have... Wuwu" The woman had already started to wipe her tears secretly at some point.
And the old man said: "It's not your fault, after all, you were pregnant at that time. I can only blame this world for being bad, blame... my child for having a hard life."
After saying that, the old man looked lonely, put down his chopsticks and went back to the house.
After all, whoever encounters this kind of natural disaster is unlucky!
And there was nowhere to complain, nowhere to reason.
It was estimated that even those two groups of ninjas who were fighting to the death here didn't put these mud-legged villagers in their eyes afterward.
Counting to the fullest, it had only been a few short years since the end of the last ninja world war, and at that time, human life was truly as cheap as grass!
And now it was already not bad, at least they could still live, and they still had food and drink.
