Chapter 205 Emergency Order, Gathering at Hall of Valor

After a very gloomy rain, the Rain Country welcomed a rare good weather.

Although the sun has been covered by dense clouds, you can still see the sunset standing by the river.

The red clouds sprinkled on the river surface, reflected in the river water, dragging out long light and shadows, and drawing strands of red and golden lines on the river surface.

"Raise the net!"

A small boat was rippling on the river surface. Asa stood on the bow and looked into the distance. It had been almost a year since he left the Rain Country. The scene in front of him made him a little dazed.

At this time, the scenery along the coast was very different from before. Although there were fishing boats coming and going in the river, casting nets and fishing, the customs and customs on the shore were completely different.

As the scene changed and the number of gathering places along the coast increased, some roads began to appear around, neat houses with brick and tile structures, and the appearance of a market in the distance.

Children were laughing and running on the newly built embankment. Someone in the distance reminded and scolded the children to be careful. The fishermen on the river were busy fishing. It was a scene of extreme peace and tranquility.

Although those people were only wearing coarse linen clothes, at least they were not as tattered as before, and the smiles on their faces could not be hidden.

Each of them had a dark and rough face, but they were full of energy, and none of them were pale and thin. They were full of energy and enthusiasm for their future, and they were full of hope for tomorrow.

This kind of vitality from the heart cannot be acted out, and it looks as warm and gentle as the sun by the river.

Perhaps there is a lot of work to be done, but it is full of vitality.

"Child, you haven't been back for a long time, right?"

In a trance, the voice of the old boatman came from behind, and Asa shook his body and came back to his senses.

"Ah, yes." He calmed down and smiled, "I went to the Land of Taki, but I didn't expect it to change so much."

"Haha, I don't know what the Land of Taki looks like, but life is indeed much better this year."

The old boatman paddled the boat with an oar, smiled heartily, and said with relief: "For example, this long embankment. In the past, except for us boatmen and fishermen, no one dared to go to the riverside."

"It was still on the shore in the last second, and it was swallowed by it in the next second. I don't know how many children died on the riverside. The lucky parents can still cry while holding the bodies of their children washed ashore, and some parents can't even find their children's bodies."

"Since Lord Yunchuan built this long embankment, it has become much more lively here. We boatmen don't have to worry about it. There are more passengers on the boat, and those fishermen can survive by fishing alone."

Wow!

The old boatman's nagging voice echoed in his ears, and the ripples caused by the boat crossing the river hit the bow. Asa, who was a little absent-minded, subconsciously looked down at the river.

The river water sparkled under the red glow of the setting sun, and the river reflected a slightly weathered young face, but the vertical pupils looked bright and energetic at the moment.

"There is Hanzo in the south, and there is Kumokawa here." The old boatman smacked his lips and sighed, "Thanks to them, the Rain Country has a rare peace."

"Yes." Asa came back to his senses and smiled, "That's great."

Since the battle in Yangyan Village in the Mountain Country, he was sent to Takigakure Village to perform a secret mission.

He was away from home for a year. Although he had already prepared himself, it was impossible to say that he had no complaints.

But the scene in front of him made him feel it was worth it.

He was not afraid of being tired or even dying. He was afraid that he had done a lot, but nothing changed.

Now all this at least proves that his work was not in vain.

"Hey! It's you guys again!"

Just as Asa was lost in thought while looking at the reflection on the river, a loud scolding suddenly sounded behind him.

He turned his head and looked over in a daze.

The old boatman in a straw raincoat was seen waving a flat pole, looking at a group of barefoot children playing on the embankment and angrily saying: "You came here again without telling your parents, wait for me to complain, and they will beat you half to death!"

"Oh oh!"

"Run, it's that shameless lame old man who loves to complain again!"

"We are not afraid, even if we fall, Brother Ah She will save us!"

The children on the embankment fled, while happily making faces at the old boatman, jumping up and down and shouting. One of the big boys with a broad figure was obviously the leader of the children, surrounded by the children.

When Asa heard the familiar name, he looked up suddenly, saw the broad boy, and immediately narrowed his eyes and shouted: "Ah She!"

Just this long shout startled a group of pigeons.

The boy seemed to be thinking about something, but was suddenly interrupted by a roar. He turned around and shouted, "Who's calling?"

"Your brother!"

Ashe looked up suddenly and saw Asa with an angry face. He was stunned.

The children around also saw it. They paused for a moment at the two people's faces, and then started to chatter.

"Is that Asa's elder brother? He looks so fierce!"

"Oh no, my mother said he has a bad temper!"

"Well, Asa, my mother told me to go home for dinner. I'm leaving first!"

A group of fishermen who were just arrogant and fearless, saw the cold Asa and were like mice seeing a cat. They were all frightened and slipped away from the river to the other side of the embankment.

Ashe came to his senses immediately, blinked his eyes, and subconsciously wanted to run away...

"Stop!"

The sound suddenly appeared behind him, and then Ashe heard the sound of breaking wind, like the sound of clothes being stretched by the wind against the skin, and it sounded like the sound of swaying horses.

A She, who had completely mastered the "Breathing Method·Constant" and was able to maintain the operation of the breathing method, almost subconsciously, instantly clenched his fist and turned around and smashed it out.

Not only did his broad body not affect his speed, but his breathing method made the muscles under his fat bulge, as if a compressed spring suddenly collapsed, colliding with the palm grabbed from behind.

Bang!

As the wind pressure exploded, the ground beneath their feet could not withstand the force of the downward pressure and instantly collapsed into spider web-like cracks.

A She raised his right hand above his head, as if he was holding something, as if he was about to strike down, but Asa grabbed his wrist tightly and stopped him instantly.

"What a speed."

"What a force."

A She and Asa looked at each other and saw each other's shock. Two different thoughts emerged in their minds at the same time.

But soon, a smile appeared on A She's lips and he laughed dryly: "Haha, brother, are you back?"

"...You still know how to call me brother?"

Asa released his fists and wrists, which were slightly numb, and moved them behind his back where A She couldn't see. He shook them a few times, squinted his eyes and sneered: "Okay, you kid!"

"When I left, you were still rolling around on the boat holding your sore buttocks. I've only been gone for a while, but now you have the guts to do something with me?"

As he said that, Asa looked at his younger brother up and down, his vertical pupils narrowed slightly, and he was a little frightened.

If you didn't become a "ghost", then that's what the academy teaches?

This muscle density and body strength…

What happened during the time he was away? Did this lazy boy really work hard and learn something?

Seeing Asa's eyes with concern even though they were cold and cold, A She's remaining fear and unfamiliarity immediately dissipated, he scratched his head and said with a smile: "In the words of the teacher, this is called separation for three days, so we should treat each other with admiration. !”

"In three days, I will still be your brother!"

Seeing that he was a little embarrassed, Asa couldn't help but stretched out his legs and kicked him again. Although he dodged it again, he couldn't avoid the slap on his head.

"Brother! You just keep your word. What's the point of hitting people?"

"How many times has your brother hit you and you are still hiding? Are you still hiding? Huh? Are you still hiding?"

"Ah! If you do it again, I will fight back! I'm not afraid of you now!"

"You're not afraid of me, right? You're not afraid of me, right?"

——————

On the bank of the river, A She looked like a crab without claws, with tears on his lifeless face, lying stretched out and being carried by Asa with one hand.

In this way, the two of them walked all the way to the fishing port. In front of them was a pier made of cables, wooden piles and wooden boards. Various wooden boats and rafts of various colors were parked on the beach, and there were busy fishermen and boatmen everywhere on the water.

"Hey, Asa is back?"

"Haha! A She must have been taught a lesson."

"Crybaby A She is crying again."

The two brothers looked weird, and people looked at them everywhere they went, saying hello and joking with each other, and A She responded with a smile one by one.

These people have made a living by fishing here for generations. They have no place to stand on the shore, so they can only live in the lake. They make a living by relying on the river with abundant catches. One boat is their entire possessions.

There are also some people, like the two Ashe brothers, who used to be trackers and cannot even afford fishing boats. They can live a full life only because of subsidies from the administrative department and the construction of dams and fishing ports.

The whole family lives on a boat, and the boat plays the role of everything a family needs. They eat, drink, and eat almost everything on the boat. Lying on it, you can see the stars in the faint night sky.

It is small and unstable, and its biggest advantage is that it is quiet. This is enough to satisfy them. This is everything they have never dared to think about.

As if feeling embarrassed, A She struggled and shouted, "Let me go."

Asa lowered his head and smiled: "Oh, are you convinced?"

A She stopped moving and said unconvinced, "I'm just going to be merciful and save some face for my brother like you."

"I see that you have the toughest tongue in every part of your body."

The two brothers quarreled and walked to the end of the pier and came to a relatively larger fishing boat.

There were two figures standing on the bow of the boat. Shuiyu, who was wearing a bamboo hat, seemed to have heard their voices from a distance and subconsciously turned his head to look.

After seeing Asa, he was overjoyed at first, but his expression quickly calmed down and he just nodded to Asa.

In contrast, the two mothers were much more excited. They ran over to Asa and greeted A She, who was standing aside, with a strange look: "This is on your face..."

A She glanced at the culprit and muttered reluctantly: "I dropped it myself."

Hearing this, Asa couldn't help laughing, but when he turned around and saw the empty sleeve of his father Shuiyu's right arm, he was stunned and said in a surprised tone: "Father?"

If his mother and stupid brother don't know his father's identity, how can he not know?

Thanks to the mercy of Mr. Kunchuan, he became one of the "Shangxian Wu", one of the twelve ghost moons of the ghost army.

With the healing ability of the string above, as long as the head is not destroyed, there will be no incurable injuries. No matter how serious the injury is, it is just a matter of how long it takes to heal.

but now……

"Ahem."

Shuiyu didn't reply. He walked to the side and patted Asa on the shoulder. He secretly pointed at A She behind him and whispered, "Isn't this just to motivate your lazy brother who loves to cry?"

Hearing this, Asa understood instantly, and was a little amused.

No wonder that brat improved so quickly and could fight with him now. It turned out to be because of his father.

Shuiyu put his arm around Asa's shoulders, glanced over and whispered: "You have been in Takigakure Village for a year. How strong are you now?"

Asa blinked and looked at Shuiyu. The pupils of both of them shrank into vertical pupils at the same time, and different words appeared on the scarlet background.

In Shuiyu's pupils were "Upper String" and "Sixth String".

And in Ashe's pupils were "Lower String" and "One".

"Upper Six?" Asa frowned, "Aren't you Upper Five?"

"Rankings are not fixed. I haven't been out on missions much, so it's normal to be surpassed by the people below."

Shuiyu didn't feel sorry, but smiled: "Seeing you two brothers getting better and better, I am satisfied, and I'm waiting for you to take my place."

Asa felt warm in his heart, but he didn't want to be too sentimental, so he quickly changed the subject and said: "By the way, father, I heard that Lord Yunchuan allocated land and houses to our family in the residential area of ​​​​Dawn City?"

"That's right, your mother and I are discussing moving there."

Shuiyu nodded and said with relief: "Our family either slept in the open air or floated on the water before, and now we have a place to stay."

"Take advantage of the good weather today, I'll help move..."

Asa was about to say something, but at this moment, a cold and indifferent voice suddenly came to his ears.

"Lower String One, urgent order, stop visiting home, gather at Valhalla before dawn."

"Repeat! Urgent order, stop visiting home, gather at Valhalla before dawn!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Asa stood up almost reflexively, and after the voice disappeared, the expression on his face had become cold and hard.

"Brother?"

Ashe also noticed this side, seeing Asa standing upright at the bow, with a serious face and frowning eyebrows, he understood instantly, and his face suddenly tightened and said: "Are you leaving again?"

Asa came back to his senses and happened to meet his mother's straight eyes, and heard her ask: "Are you going to leave again, and still fighting?"

Hearing this, Asa's mouth moved a few times and smiled: "No, maybe, it's just that the legion has something to do..."

As he spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller, and finally fell silent.

Of course he knew what this urgent order to go to Valhalla meant.

The boat fell into silence for a while, and the wind blew on the lake in the morning, whining, and the sound came through the gaps in the wind.

Shuiyu walked to his wife, put his arm around her, looked at Asa and smiled: "When are we leaving?"

"... before dawn."

"Then let's eat first." Shuiyu nodded and walked into the cabin.

Asa pursed his lips and followed.

But behind him, looking at his brother's back, Asa's eyes flickered slightly, as if he had made a decision in his heart.
