Bai Yun Chapter 18: War Shelter

Grass Hidden Village should not be called a village, but more like a tribe.

Large and small tents stand around a small lake, even if it is a grassy village.

The village also has no walls and no defenses.

Because Caoyin Village, like the vast majority of tribes in the Country of Grass, lives by water and grass, it has no fixed residence and is always migrating, so Caoyin Village has no fixed location.

Duanmu and Moonlight Blast, like two ordinary refugees, walked between the tents.

There are very few villagers. Most of the tents are left unattended. Some have broken holes and no one lives there.

Around the tent, there is a special plant of Caoyin Village, a plant called ghost lantern.

This beautiful grass has red lantern-shaped calyxes. One by one, the small lanterns hang on the half-meter-high plants, which are very beautiful.

It is said that this ghost lantern grass can ward off evil spirits and bring good luck to people in the country of grass. Therefore, every household is willing to grow this plant.

After turning around a large tent, suddenly, a high wooden platform appeared in front.

On the high platform, a ninja is giving an impassioned speech.

Duanmu and Moonlight Blast were among the crowd, carefully listening to what the man was going to say, searching for possible information.

"The villagers of Caoyin Village, or the people who escaped from the country of Caoyin, I am Kaorin Nantianzhu of Caoyin Village."

"As you can see, the war between Iwa Shinobi and Konoha is getting more and more brutal. Now, the battlefield is 100 kilometers away, and it's nowhere to be seen."

"Our Caoyin Village has had enough of these days! Great powers are unscrupulously waging wars in our homeland!"

"In their war, they don't even consider whether the pasture is suitable for grazing!"

"Their wars have no regard for whether the water there is polluted!"

"Their war has no regard for whether the people in the country of grass still have a way out!"

"I, Kusanagi Murakami, on behalf of the Supreme Elder Council of Soyin Village, are now seeking a way out for our Soyin Village!"

The voice of discussion is rustling underground, and these people still don't know what the way out is.

Shangren Nanshanzhu on stage continued his speech:

"Of course, it's unrealistic for us to declare war on two big countries. The last country that declared war, the Rain Country, has been beaten down and has not been turned over for more than ten years."

"But! But, for the sake of our children, for our children, we must do something!"

"You must have noticed that more and more people are going to the north. There, we will build a strong city that belongs to the country of grass and the village of grass hidden!"

"There, surrounded by fast-flowing rivers, there is no fear of foreign enemy attacks!"

"There, there are towering cliffs as our barrier!"

"There, there are unknown pastures, vast and plump!"

"There will be our newest shelter!"

"There, we will build a new big city, and around that city, there are ghost lantern grass everywhere. Therefore, that city is called Ghost Lantern City by us!"

"I am here to call on our villagers, our citizens, to build a ghost town. The ghost town will become our safest home!"

"Now, those who are willing to contribute to the future of our Caoyin Village, please sign up in the front row! Those who sign up will also get more comfortable living conditions in Ghost Lantern City!"

After listening to what Kusanagi said, Moonlight Gale kept looking at Duanmu, waiting for Duanmu's decision. In the end, the two squeezed to the front to sign up.

Moonlight Blast randomly made up the name 'Shuirong'.

Duanmu was stunned for a moment when he signed.

Cao Ninja, who was registered in front of him, spoke: "Write it quickly, young man, this is to contribute to the grass hidden village and work hard for our common future, don't hesitate!"

During the silence, Duanmu suddenly wanted to sign the name of his previous life.

But Duanmu still held back and made up a common name for Caoyin Village, Yuanye.

Anyway, people in the country of grass always use their strange grasses as their names.

The crowd dispersed, Duanmu and Yueguang Gaifeng found an empty tent with a hole, ready to go in and live.

There is a thick layer of ash everywhere in the tent, and no one has come in for a long time. Duanmu and Moonlight Blast simply cleaned up a corner.

However, shortly after the two moved in, they saw another person come in.

The newcomers are not very old, wearing ragged clothes and muddy faces.

When this person found Duanmu, he seemed a little panicked: "I'm sorry, I didn't know this was your home. My home was destroyed by the war. I'll leave right away!"

Seeing that this should also be a poor person, Duanmu hurriedly said: "No, no, this is not our home, and our home was destroyed by the war. This is the tent abandoned by the original owner after he left. You can live here. .We will go to the north tomorrow to build the ghost lantern city in our Caoyin Village, and then this tent will be left to you."

"I'll stay for a while. I'm going to the north to build our ghost town tomorrow."

Duanmu thought about it for a while, it would be better to pretend to be with people from a country of grass, and then asked: "Then let's go on the road together tomorrow. What's your name?"

"Do nothing!"

"Oh, it's a very artistic name. Your family should have been famous in the past to give you such a good name." Duanmu seems to have heard this name in a previous life: "You can call me Yuanye, call me Brother A Shui."

Wuwei said: "No matter how good a family of good deeds is, isn't it destroyed in this war?"

Wuwei, in the theatrical version, was the city owner of Ghost Lantern City later? Duanmu looked at the dirt on Wuwei's face, it seemed more like a disguise, what was he covering up?

After all, the three of them went to sleep.

In the middle of the night, Duanmu woke up with the moonlight wind.

Hearing that Wuwei had fallen asleep, the two carefully left the tent and went outside the village.

"Teacher Miyake, the grassy village is almost empty. Most of the grassy village went to the north of the country of grass far from the war zone. A new city is being built, called Ghost Lantern City."

Miyake felt very surprised: "Building a city? Caoyin Village actually built a city? It's really strange. A nomadic country built a city at this time. The answer to our mission should be in that city. No. Do you know if building a castle has anything to do with Iwa Shinobi?"

"Miyake-sensei, Moonlight Hurricane and I have signed up for the city-building team, and we will go north with the team tomorrow."

"Okay, be careful. We'll be one step ahead of you tomorrow. We'll go around that ghost town to see what's going on. We'll be waiting for an opportunity to contact you at that time."

After reporting to Miyake-sensei, Duanmu and Yueguang Gale returned to the tent in Caoyin Village.

Wuwei is still asleep, seemingly unaware of what just happened.
