Chapter 33: Chapter 33
Another night passed, and no accidents occurred along the way. Class 8 successfully arrived at Oxalis Gold Mountain.
This is a village that looks neither big nor small, but you can tell at a glance that there is something wrong with the people there.
First of all, there are almost no young and middle-aged men here. There are only women, children and the elderly, which is obviously inconsistent with the population structure of a village.
The second thing is the way the people in this village looked at Xihi Hong and others.
They looked cautiously, and when they saw the Konoha Village forehead protectors of Kurenai Yuhi and others, there were complex emotions of fear and anticipation in their eyes.
With such a look, it is obvious that the ninja forehead protector, or the ninja itself, has left a deep impression on them.
Hinata and the others might just be curious about the looks of these villagers and not think too much about it.
But as an elite ninja, combined with the information Kamisato Tsukika gave to Kurenai Yuhi, she knew very well what their eyes meant.
"Brother Qingzhu, you are finally back! Are these the reinforcements you found? Can they really defeat... that guy?"
As Yuhi Kurenai and her friends were on their way to their employer, Aosuke's house, a little boy ran out of a nearby house and spoke loudly in an excited tone.
But it seemed that he didn't think that Kurenai, Hinata and the other three were very powerful, so there was worry in his tone.
However, after the little boy finished speaking, Qingzhu's face changed.
"Goro, go play first. I'll take the ninjas to eat first."
Qingzhu pushed the little boy away and spoke, and immediately changed the subject and continued: "Speaking of which, we have quite a few special things here. I'm sure you ninjas have never tried them. I'll take you to try them out..."
However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yuhi Kurenai.
"I think I need an explanation. Saving people and defeating a guy seems a little different from our mission."
After saying that, Yuhi Kurenai's beautiful ruby eyes stared at Qingzhu calmly.
Qingzhu was stared at by these eyes, and sweat broke out on his forehead as he already had something to hide.
"Um, Yuhi Jonin, please don't take the child's nonsense seriously. I asked you to come here just to find my lost brother. There is nothing else involved."
Qingzhu's eyes flickered, but he still gritted his teeth and started to explain.
Even though it had come to this, he still had no intention of telling the truth.
This made Yuhi Kurenai even angrier, but she also knew that now was not the time to lose her temper.
"According to the mission issued by Lord Qingzhu, your lost brother is in the valley behind the village, and there is no danger in the valley except for wild beasts.
Then I will go and investigate. If the facts are true as you said, we will wholeheartedly help you find your brother and complete your mission.
But if there are unexpected situations there, such as enemies or ninjas other than wild beasts, then Mr. Qingzhu, we not only have the right to voluntarily abandon the mission, but also the commission you paid in advance will be reasonably returned to Konoha Village. "
Xihihong spoke coldly, since Qingzhu was still stubborn, then let's just speak with facts.
By then, the evidence will be irrefutable and it will be completely in line with the rules for them to give up the mission.
When Qingsuke heard what Yuhi Kurenai said, his face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his head.
"This, this…"
He stuttered, feeling the oppression brought by Xi Ri Hong, his whole body was panicked, and regret surged in his heart.
But when he thought about the situation in the village, the villagers who were exploited, and those who were killed, Qingzhu's regret quickly dissipated.
He suddenly knelt down, knocked his head heavily on the ground, and spoke loudly in a crying voice.
"Yuhi Jonin, please save Osamu Kanazawa!"
The sudden change made the little boy, Hinata and the other two unable to react for a while, only the coldness in Yuhi Kurenai's eyes became even more intense.
"Oxalis Jinshan was originally a happy and peaceful village. We have lived here for generations, relying on mining behind the village for our livelihood.
But the Heiqiu family led people to occupy the mine and forced the villagers to mine for them for free. If they refused, they would be beaten to death!
It would be fine if it was just mining, but the Heiqiu family didn't treat us as human beings at all. They made us work in the mine for more than ten hours a day before letting us go home.
Because we had been working for so long, we no longer had the energy to do other farm work when we returned home, and the Heiqiu family did not pay us, so many of our families gradually could not even have food to eat, and some elderly people in the village had already starved to death.
Not only the old people, but those of us who went to mine were also punished and beaten to death by the Heiqiu Family because we were too tired every day and did not have enough food to eat. We could not complete the mining tasks arranged by the Heiqiu Family!
Wulang's father died under the punishment of the Heiqiu family. He was only six years old and lost his father at the age of six.
If this continues, the entire Oxalis Gold Mountain will be completely destroyed in no time. I finally escaped from the Black Autumn Family and wanted to ask the ninja to help us defeat the Black Autumn Family, but the commission required is too much.
I really have no other choice, and I issued the false commission after hearing about what happened to Dazna in the Land of Waves. I don't ask you to forgive me, I only ask you to save the village and the people here.
Goro, come here quickly, come here quickly and beg the ninja master, beg him to save the village and the people here. "
Qingsuke burst into tears and pushed the little boy Goro, who was also crying, over to kneel on the ground together in front of Yuhi Kurenai.
This commotion also attracted the attention of other people. After seeing Qingsuke and Goro kneeling in front of Yuhi Kurenai to beg her, the villagers came up one by one, knelt down and begged while crying.
"Ninja-sama, please, save our Anan."
"Please, big sister, save daddy. Woo woo woo, I miss daddy."
"Please, Master Ninja, I haven't seen my husband for more than a month. He was much thinner when he came back last time, and there were many scars on his body. He must be in a lot of pain. Please save him."
"Ninja-sama, if the money that Qingzhu gives you is not enough, we can give you other things. We can give you anything you want. We only ask that you can save us because we are so pitiful."
"Woo, woo, woo, daddy, I want daddy woo, woo."
Soon, more than a dozen people knelt in front of Yuhikuhenta and Hinata, crying and begging.
