Although the firewood may not change this oppressed life, it is enough to feed the family today.

So even if they know that there are many evil spirits in the mountains, some young people will still take their not-so-sharp hatchets and walk in the wilderness.

Everything is for livelihood.

In addition to firewood, there are occasionally some special harvests, such as the barrels and boxes displayed under the trees.

Ordinary people certainly will not place these things in the wilderness. Most of them are food and drinking water collected by the Qiuqiu people.

Although they are probably just simple vegetables such as violets, sunset fruits or cabbages, they are also a big harvest for the poor families of Inazuma.

If some Mora or shiny jewelry are found, it will be even better.

That's what the young man who came to chop wood today thought.

He heard that there was a gathering place of hill people nearby, so he wanted to try his luck.

It's hard to say whether this is a gathering place of hill people, because although there are traces nearby, they don't look like traces of hill people.

Because even the hill people know that violets are delicious only when they are peeled and boiled.

Eating raw violets... Which warrior is this?

But apart from these traces, the young man really has what he wants.

This is a more refined wooden barrel than an ordinary wooden barrel.

Although it looks a bit small, it doesn't look like the craftsmanship of the hill people, but more like a wine barrel.

"I... I'm going to change my luck?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, then ran over excitedly and tried to knock on the wooden barrel.

Because if this is really a wine barrel, so much wine must be worth a lot of Mora.

As he knocked, the wooden barrel made a dull knocking sound, which didn't sound like it was filled with liquid, but rather like it was filled with real objects.

Never mind, it must be filled with good stuff.

When he tried to brush off the fallen leaves on the barrel, he noticed that one of the leaves seemed to be stuck to the barrel and he couldn't get it off no matter how hard he tried.

"Strange..."

When he tried to remove it again, he heard a bang, and after a puff of smoke, a big tail appeared next to the barrel.

"Raccoon... Raccoon!!!!"

The young man's face suddenly changed when he saw this, and he didn't care about anything else, and ran away in fear.

He knew that there were many raccoon monsters in the mountains and forests.

Although this little thing is not lethal, monsters represent bad luck everywhere.

Especially raccoon cats.

Unlike the monsters like Tengu who protect the mountains and forests, raccoon cats often transform into various strange appearances to tease passers-by.

This also makes them not have a good reputation among humans, and there is even a strange saying that seeing a raccoon monster will bring bad luck.

And this transformation method with leaves on the head is exactly the sorcery of the raccoon cat in the legend.

"It's not a raccoon cat... it's a raccoon dog!"

The wooden barrel disappeared completely, replaced by a small figure dressed as a ninja.

She stretched and rubbed her head with a puzzled look on her face.

She always felt that someone seemed to have knocked her head while she was sleeping.

"Senior, now... eh!?"

After recovering from her sleep, she originally wanted to ask the senior who was also the last ninja about the time, but found that there was no trace of her companions in the forest, and she was the only one left.

"I was abandoned again?"

After being stunned for a few seconds, she realized that she seemed to have been abandoned by her companions because of sleepiness.

"It seems... there is nothing wrong."

Yawned again, Zaoyou muttered to herself slightly sleepily.

Last night, I was ordered to go to the room of the high-level Fatui to inquire about the news, but I didn't expect to be discovered.

It's fine that he was discovered, but he still chased her for so long.

If it wasn't for the Tengu that showed up in time and interrupted the other party's pursuit.

Zaoyou didn't dare to imagine what she would experience after being caught.

It is said that the Fatui would skin and pull out the tendons of the captured raccoon cats, and make the thick fur into a fur cloak... No! Zaoyou is a raccoon dog! Not a raccoon cat!

Yes, it's all the Fatui's fault!

If he hadn't chased her for so long, she wouldn't have fallen asleep during the mission because of tiredness.

And she wouldn't have been abandoned by her teammates because of this.

Well... Speaking of which, it seems that her mission is...

"Uh--"

As if she remembered something, Zaoyou's eyes, which were originally so sleepy that she could hardly open, suddenly widened like light bulbs.

"Oh no! It's too late!"

She finally realized why she was abandoned.

It's not that the senior left her here to sleep in order to take care of her.

It's just that she has a new mission.

She must meet that woman before noon.

Otherwise... Otherwise...

Think about the fate of those who offended her and were teased by her.

Zaoyou shuddered again.

It is said that even the general can't do anything about that woman.

The woman who can make the general feel difficult... That woman is too scary, don't provoke her! Absolutely don't provoke her! Go to the appointment quickly!

Thinking of this, her tiredness completely disappeared.

Wuhu Liu • Fengyin Jijin!

After the seal, Zaoyou jumped high, and the full wind element could even be seen with the naked eye.

After she hugged her legs, the wind element also completely wrapped her.

And she herself was like a wheel, rolling in the mountains and forests.

Speaking of which, although this ninjutsu is very useful, the side effects are also not small.

It is inevitable to feel dizzy when turning like a wheel.

Even though Zaoyou is a specially trained ninja, she still can't keep it up for too long. If it takes too long...

But now she can't care so much.

Compared to the whole world turning because of dizziness, she is more afraid of that woman.

Relying on the blessing of the wind element, Zaoyou arrived at Inazuma Castle earlier than Bai Luo despite starting late.

"So... so dizzy..."

After arriving outside Inazuma Castle, Zaoyou finally reached her limit.

Amid the barking of an Akita dog, she held on to the cherry tree outside the city and almost vomited what she ate last night.

No... it seems that she only ate a melon last night.

As for the violet melon, if the flesh is used to make soup, it is definitely a delicacy.

But if you eat it raw, it is hard to describe.

Well, now is not the time to think about these things.

After driving away the barking vicious dog, Zaoyou came to the waterwheel, scooped up a pool of clear spring water, and splashed it on her face.

The cold spring water relieved the dizziness caused by her rolling.

After looking around and making sure that there were no strange people following her, Zaoyou staggered into Inazuma City.

Inazuma City at noon was not very lively.

Even though most ordinary people do not have such a thing as the Eye of God, the Eye Hunting Order is still like a huge rock, pressing them a little breathless.

Compared with being questioned by the people of Tianling in the street, most of them would rather stay at home.

If it is not necessary, not many people are willing to go out.

"Oh no... I'm going to be late!"

Looking at the sun in the sky and making an estimate in her mind, Zaoyou's face became even uglier.

If she didn't make a mistake, even if she rushed to Wuyou Pavilion with all her strength, she would be at least three minutes late.

"Wow... That woman will never let me go!"

"That woman?"

Just as she was dejected, a playful voice suddenly came to her ears.

"Which woman?"
