You Know Nothing About Pain

Because the drug seller came from the same place as Xuansheng Ichiro, the two have a lot of intersections. In the past, when someone in Xuansheng Ichiro's family fell ill, the drug seller helped deliver the medicine, so the relationship is very good. The drug seller talks It was a little presumptuous, but he was indeed thinking about Xuansheng Ichiro.

"Whispering..." Xuansheng Ichiro pursed his lips in response to the advice from the drug seller, and said with a tough look: "As a samurai, how can I be that kind of inferior person?" Doing things! What nonsense!"

Although Xuansheng Ichiro tried his best to be very fierce, the drug seller who had known his temperament for a long time was not afraid, he just curled his lips and said: "I know you are a samurai, but even a samurai has to eat, anyway You should write back a letter to your family first, otherwise they don't know how worried they are."

Listening to the medicine seller's words, Xuansheng Ichiro unconsciously clenched the envelope in his hand without saying a word.

"Then I'll come back in a few days." Seeing Xuansheng Ichiro's reaction, the drug seller shook his head helplessly and said, "You should think about how to reply to the letter in a few days, and I'll come and get it in a few days."

After finishing speaking, the drug seller picked up his medicine box, hummed the chant he made up, and walked away gradually while singing.

In the room, Naruto saw Xuansheng Ichiro who was obviously depressed after coming back, and couldn't help but asked with concern: "What happened?"

Hearing Naruto's concern, Xuansheng Ichiro forced a smile, tried his best to pretend to be calm and said: "It's okay, it's just a friend who came to send me a letter from home, don't worry."

After finishing speaking, Xuansheng Ichiro opened the door of the side room, took out a small box from inside, and prepared to seal the envelope into the box.

Naruto saw Xuansheng Ichiro's movements, and couldn't help asking: "Since it's a letter sent by family members with great difficulty, why don't you open it and have a look? They must be very worried about you."

"It's okay, it must be some tired words anyway." Xuansheng Ichiro waved his hand and said indifferently: "I don't need to read to know what is written in their letter."

Having said that, Xuansheng Ichiro ignored Naruto's dissuasion, and hurriedly stuffed the envelope into the small box. Naruto looked at it from a distance, and he could still see many white envelopes in the box, which seemed to be empty. Kaifeng.

As the saying goes, the family letter is worth ten thousand gold in three months. Although Xuansheng Ichiro's situation is not considered to be three months in the beacon fire, but after living outside for so long, it is impossible not to miss his family. He must hide the letter and not read it. There is a reason.

After packing the envelope, Ichiro Xuansheng cheered up, just at this moment the rice was almost steamed, so Ichiro Xuansheng said with a smile: "Let's serve dinner."

Having said that, Xuansheng Ichiro lifted the lid of the pot, and when he was about to start serving the rice, Xuansheng Ichiro suddenly showed an embarrassed expression on his face, and his whole body's movements also stopped suddenly.

The reason why Xuansheng Ichiro suddenly stopped was because he just remembered now that he didn't even have a normal bowl and chopsticks, and he usually ate with the pot in his arms.

But now that there are a few more Narutos, it is impossible for Xuansheng Ichiro to let a few people follow him to plan food around the pot. What does this look like? Isn't it similar to a pig in a pigsty.

But now where he was asked to find extra bowls and chopsticks, Xuansheng Ichiro was sweating profusely for a while.

"That..." Xuansheng Ichiro hesitated again and again, and finally he gritted his teeth and was about to tell the extremely shameful thing that he didn't have any extra bowls and chopsticks.

Naruto looked at Xuansheng Ichiro who suddenly stopped, and then looked at the pot and rice in front of him, and after a little thought, he probably understood what was going on.

So when Xuansheng Ichiro was about to speak, Naruto pretended to suddenly think of something, slapped his hands suddenly and said, "That's right! I forgot to tell you something."

"Actually, some of us are a little bit of a clean freak, and we like to prepare our own bowls and chopsticks when we eat out." Naruto quickly took out four sets of bowls and chopsticks, then blinked at Xuansheng Ichiro and said: "You should not Do you mind?"

Hearing Naruto's words, Xuansheng Ichiro was stunned for a moment, and then a grateful expression appeared on his face. He also knew that Naruto had seen his embarrassment, so he said that on purpose.

"I don't mind, I don't mind." With a trembling voice, Xuansheng Ichiro pursed his lips vigorously, and said with slightly red eyes, "Sorry, I made you laugh."

"It doesn't matter, we are very happy that you can invite us to eat." Naruto smiled and divided the bowls and chopsticks among the people and said, "Don't talk so much, let's eat." Naruto helped several people divide the food one by one During the meal, Kyuubi refused Naruto to give him a share of the meal. Kyuubi is really not interested in the food like radish stewed rice, which is very bland at first glance, and there is only so much in total. It’s better not to eat it if you feed the cat. .

Xuansheng Ichiro looked at the stewed rice in front of him, pursed his lips hard, and didn't know whether he was happy or sad for a moment.

Ever since he came to the capital of the Iron Kingdom to look for opportunities, Xuansheng Ichiro can be said to have hit a wall everywhere. The recommendation letters he brought from his hometown were not recognized at all, and he himself was so stupid that he could not even enter the door If you don't go, a servant guarding the gate can mock him at will.

The people in the capital city are also very indifferent, even the neighbors are always indifferent to each other, which made Xuansheng Ichiro, who was used to the happy and harmonious atmosphere of everyone walking around the house from the countryside, very uncomfortable.

In addition, the high price of goods here is beyond Xuansheng Ichiro's imagination. I originally thought that it would take at least half a year to spend two or three months. This is on the premise that distant relatives are willing to borrow their own houses. Meeting this kind-hearted distant relative, I am afraid that Xuansheng Ichiro will sleep on the street by now.

Xuansheng Ichiro suffered a lot of humiliation in this cold city, struggling to hold on to his pride and pride as a samurai, several times he couldn't help but want to give up, thinking that he should just go back to his hometown and find a job to do it. .

But in the end Xuansheng Ichiro persisted, because becoming a proud samurai was the greatest expectation of his dead father. On that day, his father passed away because of overwork.

Xuansheng Ichiro is still on the hospital bed before his father died, holding his hand tightly, looking at him in the brand-new samurai uniform, his eyes are full of pride and relief.

Xuansheng Ichiro felt that he must not live up to his father's expectations, even if he died, he would die with the honor of a samurai.

Not to mention the virtuous wife and lovely daughter in his hometown, Xuansheng Ichiro is determined to be a human being before going back, which is why he has not replied to his wife's letters, because he feels that he has no face to talk to his wife, Only when he really finds a lord who appreciates him, can he return to his hometown with his head held high and his chest held high, to pick up his family and live a good life in the capital.

But now Naruto has made Xuansheng Ichiro feel the warmth and kindness of human nature for a long time. Looking at the big bowl of stewed radish rice specially served by Naruto in front of him, Xuansheng Ichiro thinks about the grievances he suffered a few days ago In embarrassment, Xuansheng Ichiro, who had been subjected to so many blank stares and prejudices before and insisted on gritting his teeth without saying a word, actually had the urge to cry at this moment.

Naruto looked at Xuansheng Ichiro who was shaking slightly with his head bowed in front of him, showed a gentle smile, and said softly, "Okay, let's eat first."

"Hmm." Xuansheng Ichiro sniffled and said in a strong nasal voice, "Eat."

Then Ichiro Xuansheng picked up the rice bowl in front of him, buried his head in the bowl and started to eat, looking at Ichiro Xuansheng who was eating big mouthfuls, Naruto also smiled, picked up his own bowl and started to eat.

For a while, only the sound of chopsticks moving and chewing was left in the room. The stewed radish rice made by Ichiro Xuansheng was indeed not delicious. It was simply cooking the radish and rice together, and only added a little Salt is used as a seasoning, of course the taste is not good, but Naruto ate it carefully, he knew that this was the best treat the other party could offer.

It was said that it was a one-pot meal, but in fact it was not much. The few people finished their meal quickly, and Naruto took out a set of tea sets to make tea.

When Xuansheng Ichiro saw Naruto and he didn't know where to touch the teapot and teacup, his eyes almost popped out. He looked up and down for a long time, but he didn't find where Naruto hid the teapot and teacup.

"Is this what your ninjas are capable of?" Xuansheng Ichiro looked at the slow-moving Naruto, and couldn't help asking curiously, "I remember what this is called...it seems to be ninjutsu?"

"Well, to be exact, it's called the sealing technique, but this is a unique usage I developed myself."

Naruto poured mountain spring water into the teapot in front of him, and then snapped his fingers lightly. The firewood that had been almost burned due to cooking suddenly regenerated, and it didn't take long for the water in the pot to boil.

"This is also the ability of your ninjas?!" Xuansheng Ichiro looked at Naruto with a pair of eyes looking at gods and said, "This is too powerful, no wonder you ninjas can rule such a large world outside..."

"Uh...my technique can't be regarded as ninjutsu." Naruto scratched his nose and said, "It's my own exclusive secret recipe, and other ninjas probably don't know it."

Naruto's move just now was actually using the fire-attribute aura in his body to ignite the firewood in front of him. It looked like the firewood was burning to boil the water, but it was actually Naruto's fire-attribute aura that boiled the water.

"Speaking of which, when I entered the city, I saw two guys in full-body armor at the gate of the city. They should also be samurai." Naruto picked up the teapot that had boiled water, and slowly poured boiling water into the teacup in front of him, saying: "Do you know who they are?"

"You talk about them, they are the samurai under Mifune-sama, and they are all selected from the iron country, the most powerful samurai." Xuansheng Ichiro said with an envious look in his eyes: "If I can get Mifune Appreciation from adults would be great..."

Naruto poured out the hot water in the teacup, poured the second brew again and said, "Master Mifune? Is he very powerful?"

"Master Mifune is not only powerful, but he is the highest-ranking warrior in the Iron Kingdom, the strongest warrior, and the ruler of the Iron Kingdom." Xuansheng Ichiro said with an exaggerated expression: "Theoretically speaking, he is The patriarch of all the warriors in the Iron Kingdom, once he orders all the warriors to obey his orders."

"I heard that if you can be selected by Mifune-sama, you will be taught the legendary sword technique after joining his trusted army." Xuansheng Ichiro said immediately: "Everyone says that as long as you learn that sword technique, even a ninja can do it." Not an opponent."

"The legendary sword technique?" Naruto picked up a cup of hot tea and handed it to Ichiro Xuansheng and said, "Then why don't you try it, just in case you choose it."

"Don't make fun of me, how can someone like me be possible." Seeing Naruto handing him tea, Xuansheng Ichiro quickly took the tea from Naruto with both hands, holding the teacup and said embarrassingly: " If I really go beyond my limits to find Mifune-sama, I'm afraid I'll be knocked out by the porter before I even enter the gate."

"That's right, but maybe." Naruto picked up his teacup and said with a smile, "If you don't try some things, who knows what the final result will be."

"No, no, no." Xuansheng Ichiro waved his hands again and again and said, "I will definitely be ashamed if I go. With my three-legged feline kung fu, I can deal with little thieves, but I will definitely not be able to meet that kind of powerful samurai."

"Don't say that, there is no harm in trying." Naruto said with a smile: "Anyway, you can't find a suitable lord now, so you can try your luck."

Hearing Naruto's words, Ichiro Xuansheng thought so, anyway, he can't find a family that wants him now, so it's better to try his luck, thinking of this, Ichiro Xuansheng showed a look of excitement on his face.

Naruto took a sip of tea, looked around at the rooms and said, "By the way, do you rent the other rooms in your house?"

"Ah?" Hearing Naruto's question, Xuansheng Ichiro was stunned for a moment, and said as if he didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"

"I asked you if you rent the house." Naruto said with a smile: "If you rent it, we will live here for a few days."

"This... I can't say it..." Xuansheng Ichiro said with some embarrassment: "After all, this is my relative's house, and it would be nice if they could lend it to me."

"Go and ask." Naruto put down the teacup in his hand and said, "They don't need this house anyway, if someone rents it, they can get an extra income, there is no reason not to agree."

"What you said makes sense..." Xuansheng Ichiro thought for a while, and felt that his relatives treated him well, and helping them introduce a business was considered a repayment to them, so he nodded and said, "I'll go back and ask them."

Hearing that Naruto actually said that he wanted to live here, Kyuubi was the first to express his objection.

"I object! Didn't you agree to go to a hotel!" Kyuubi said indignantly, "You don't count what you say!"

"It's not that the plan can't keep up with the changes." Faced with Kyuubi's objection, Naruto didn't get angry, but just said with a smile: "Actually, I did some calculations just now, and our money has been spent too quickly recently. Should be more frugal, don't you think?"

After Naruto finished speaking, he turned his attention to Hase Ryusheng. Seeing Naruto's hint, Hase Ryusheng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, the flowers are too fast. I also think we should save money." One o'clock."

"Fart! I obviously saw a lot more last time!" Jiuwei yelled, then looked at Hase Ryusheng suspiciously, and said in a threatening tone: "Did you settle the score properly, tell me! Yes It's not that you're filling your pockets!"

"It's nothing to do with Ryusheng Hase, I know he didn't make a mistake, it's just that he used it too fast." Naruto looked at Kyuubi with a half-smile, tilted his head and said, "Ku Lama, do you know why it took so long?" quick?"

Kyuubi looked at Naruto's half-smile expression, and immediately lowered his head with some guilt. He didn't know why the money was spent so fast.

Although Kyuubi usually doesn't count money at all, he still knows how much he ate along the way.

Thinking of this, Kyuubi turned his head a little guilty and didn't look into Naruto's eyes, and said in an awkward tone: "You clearly said before that it doesn't matter..."

"It's okay, I didn't blame you." Naruto continued Kyuubi's words and said, "It's just that you are wronged for a while, this time you will follow what I said, and when I go to the country of water, you and Chang Gu Longsheng can spend whatever he wants."

"That's what you said!" Kyuubi heard Naruto say that it was only this time, he let out a long breath, snorted and raised his head and said, "Okay, for your sake, then I'll be wronged this time." Own."

Seeing that Kyuubi agreed, Naruto shook his head with a grin and said, "Don't worry about me, what I say will definitely mean what I say."

The reason why Naruto said that just now is of course not because the money is really not enough. Although Kyuubi did spend a lot on the way, but to put it bluntly, it was just some food and drink. It is estimated that more than half of the one million taels was spent. A deposit of several hundred thousand taels was made, and Naruto only had one water country left in the end of this trip, so it stands to reason that the remaining several hundred thousand taels would be enough to spend.

Naruto said that the main purpose of these things is to live here, it’s as simple as that, it has nothing to do with money, the reason why he specifically said that he lacks money is just to explain to Ichiro Xuansheng.

The reason why Naruto wants to live here is actually to be able to observe Xuansheng Ichiro closely.

In Naruto's view, Xuansheng Ichiro is really an excellent sample to observe the ecology of the samurai class in the Iron Kingdom.

When you want to truly understand the true face and situation of a class or profession, it is meaningless to look at the upper-class figures on the surface, because those people have already passed the initial stage of accumulation and struggle, and formally entered the stage. It's the harvest stage to lie back and enjoy.

In any profession or class, if you only look at the top few people, it's actually quite boring, and you can't see anything real at all, you can only see a false world.

If you want to come and go to the real world, then you have to look down, because the most numerous and real people at any time will always be the mediocre group of people in the eyes of the middle and lower classes.

These people don't have much luck, and they don't have much talent. They may not even talk about hard work, but their lives are the true portrayal of this world. There are not so many dreams, not so many gorgeous shells, and not so many Fake big empty, just have the most real and the most heavy reality.

So if you only look at those glamorous characters, of course you can only see the good side, but you cannot see the darkness hidden in this class or profession under the glamorous surface of these people, or some other more naked s things.

And Xuansheng Ichiro is very interesting. Although he is a samurai, he is a down-and-out samurai without a lord, and it seems that he insists on his samurai status and disdains to bow his head to life and reality. He bowed his head and was also sneaky, lest others would find him unseemly.

When a person lives a happy life, he is of course willing to maintain politeness and strive to maintain the spiritual things advocated by his own class, because he does not need to make choices, and does not need to make compromises between dreams and reality, so naturally There is no trouble.

Only when a person is faced with a painful choice, when he finds that what he insists on does not seem to bring him the life he wants, when he finds that chanting slogans in vain does not make him full, when he needs to cross the line or give up something When you persist, this time is the time to really test the true face behind a class or profession,

And more importantly, Xuansheng Ichiro is an honest man.

Naruto likes honest people, and likes to get along with such people, not because honest people are easy to fool, but because he likes to try to help such people, because they are the most stable and simple power in this world.

In this world, honest people always seem to be the most vulnerable to bullying. Kindness and honesty seem to have become derogatory terms, and they have become a character that everyone says is good, but is actually very disdainful in their hearts.

Everyone thinks that only a fool can be an honest person, and a truly smart person will not obey the constraints of morality and rules honestly, despicable?nasty?It is not worth mentioning at all, and only what is really caught in the hand is real.

The crowd cheered around under the decayed throne, regarding despicability as a symbol of wisdom, and shamelessness as a medal of praise. The only competition between them seems to be who has a lower limit and who can be more shameless, just like a group of The livestock vying around in front of the trough scrambled to put their mouths into the trough, and some even put their front hooves in.

Naruto doesn't like this kind of world, he doesn't like this kind of concept, he doesn't like this kind of atmosphere.

Why should an honest person deserve to be bullied, and why should an honest person not be helped.

The world is sick, and Naruto has yet to find a good medicine to cure this disease, but this does not prevent him from extending a helping hand to some people he thinks are precious.Xuansheng Ichiro looked at Naruto who had a serious expression in front of him and didn't know what he was thinking, and said with a worried expression on his face: "It must be difficult for you, I understand. I understand the days when there is no money."

"Don't worry, you saved my life, I won't just sit idly by, I will definitely talk to my relatives." Xuansheng Ichiro patted his chest and said, "I will definitely negotiate a preferential price with you!"

"Then you should stay here today." Xuansheng Ichiro thought for a while, and then said: "Don't worry about the rent, I will explain it to my relatives."

"Then I'll trouble you." Naruto looked at Xuansheng Ichiro with a serious face, and didn't say much, just smiled gently and said, "It will be of great help if we can talk about it."
