A reasonably developed ninja world

"What? What did you say? Louder. .1kanshu Young people nowadays are so weak to speak. What can we expect you to do?" The old slug didn't seem to hear clearly.

Nagata suppressed his laughter and looked at the slug commander who had to repeat it loudly.

This act of amplifying one's voice to flatter someone in front of everyone is really shameful.

"You see. This is why I am so disgusted with summoning these ancient beings. Communication is too troublesome." Commander Slug turned back and complained to Nagata.

Nagata continued to smile without saying a word. The most basic rule is not to talk too much when you see others being frustrated. Otherwise, you can easily become the target of anger.

"What? You think I'm in trouble! Come here and let me teach you a lesson for a junior like you who doesn't know the rules. Come on, bring me my walking stick. Wow!" This old slug is quite angry. There were two puffs of smoke coming out of Tutu's head, and his whole body seemed to turn a little red, and he seemed to be waving the cane with great force. The crowd quickly appeased him.

After all, he is already old and walks too slowly, otherwise he may very well have staged a show of King Qin walking around a pillar.

"Hey, why did you hear this again?" Nagata quickly lowered his voice and asked Commander Slug.

"It's okay. As I get older, I can hear sometimes and not hear sometimes. Just get used to it."

"Don't say bad things about me behind my back. You're sneaky. That's right, I'm talking about you two. Get over here." The old slug pointed with his walking stick, which startled Nagata. If he was stared at by this old slug, Go on, get two more blows, how unfair it is. Question Nagata didn’t say anything bad.

Looking again, I saw that the walking stick was pointing to the two of Nagata. It was clearly pointing to the two tree stumps by the lake! Is this all wrong?

This slug is really too old, and the slug's excellent perception ability has completely declined. Not only is my hearing impaired, but my vision is also very poor. Even Nagata in front of him was dazzled. I'm afraid I need the help of other slugs to eat.

Just don't know. For creatures like slugs, which can divide and recombine at will. How can such an old individual still exist?

"A new contractor has appeared this time, and I hope to know the history of our Shiggy Bone Forest." After repeating it two or three times, the old slug finally understood.

We can't keep talking anymore, we have to change the topic to the real thing quickly, and finish the conversation as soon as possible, otherwise the sun is going to set again.

"Where are the new contractors? Let me take a look. I hope this one is a little different. The previous ones completely treated us slugs as doctors. Instead of treating their own burns (Yamabushi jumped into the fire) The custom of practicing Buddhism). Just to make money by treating people's beriberi. There is no future at all." The old slug cursed, shaking the slug's dark history, not caring at all about the family scandal. Nao Nagata was happy to hear this.

Athlete's foot and beriberi are two diseases.

Athlete's foot teapedis, scientific name is tinea pedis, also known as athlete's foot or tinea pedis. It is a skin disease of the feet caused by a fungus and is contagious but not fatal.

Beriberi, caused by a lack of vitamin B1, can really kill you.

Don't think I'm talking nonsense. This is indeed a common disease in the ninja world, and it is also a disease of wealth.

In the ninja world, shiny, white rice is a status symbol. Removing bran, shelling, grinding and rinsing, rice production consumes a lot of money and manpower. In the ninja world, poor people eat brown rice or other sources of carbohydrates, such as sweet potatoes or barley. Only the rich eat white rice, and often eat nothing but white rice.

That's the problem. During the husking process, an important nutrient called thiamine is removed. Without thiamine, animals and people can develop beriberi.

If you get this disease, you will have swollen legs and slurred speech in the early stage. Next, there may be loss of touch and paralysis, along with convulsions and vomiting, and eventually death from heart failure.

For a long time, the cause of the disease was not discovered. Even daimyo, many people died on it. Because the cause was unknown, he was treated as terminally ill. (During the Anti-Japanese War, many soldiers from a certain country who invaded our country also died of this disease.)

The slug, which can store various ingredients in the body and extract them when needed, has accidentally become a good helper for those contractors who are mountain warriors and doctors part-time, and have cured countless beriberi patients.

When daimyo and ministers get sick and cannot be cured by normal methods, they will ask around for folk remedies and so-called miracle doctors! Those contractors can take advantage of the opportunity to get a large sum of money.

Don’t say that these practitioners don’t love money. Cultivation also pays attention to having a legal partner, wealth and land.

Even ninjas suffer from this disease. Many non-combat attrition of ninjas stationed at the border are due to this disease. Because the mainstay of a ninja's army is rice (although the ninja's social status is not high, but his income is not low, so he can afford to eat polished rice.), salt, and salted prunes.

Military food pills are combat supplies and can restore chakra. It is not an emergency, so don't take military food pills. Not to mention hunting, if a bunch of ninjas are stationed together, all the edible food will be eaten quickly. Most still rely on military rations.

Once the ninjas stationed at the border are found to have beriberi, they can report it and be rotated back. The ninjas who were rotated back quickly recovered their health.

Why? I'm so greedy. I couldn't get anything to eat at the border, so when I got home I couldn't eat anything. Some people even cook barbecue on the go!

"My lord, I am a contractor of this generation. My name is Senju Nagata." Respecting the elderly and loving the young is a traditional virtue that Nagata has adhered to for both generations.

And it's better not to be shy about this kind of existence that may make you burp at any time. If he accidentally gets angry to death, Nagata will be guilty of a big crime.

"Oh, you are Nagata. You are very good. At least you look smarter than the previous ones. I thought that no one would want to hear this memory of mine. Even if the body has been revived several times before, all the slugs have reintegrated. , also left me out. I was already prepared to die silently alone. In fact, forgetting, carrying too many memories, is also a kind of pain. Although I also think that it is too old Things should be like fallen leaves buried in the soil. But I still feel a little reluctant. "Oh my God, this old slug is so angry and chatty!"

"Well, senior, why don't we talk about the history of Shigu Forest." Nagata wiped the sweat from his head.

"History, well, apart from history, there is nothing else that will remind you of this old guy like me. Just wait a moment." The old slug trembled all over. A puddle of water oozed out.

"Have you peed?" This style of painting is getting worse and worse. Although it is normal for the elderly to be a little unable to control themselves and behave out of control. However, this is a hot-blooded shounen manga!

"Piss on you uncle, come here, catch him, let me kill him." The old slug exploded again, understand, understand, old shame turns into anger.

"Senior, it's okay. It's normal and common for you at your age." Nagata comforted him while avoiding the old man's walking stick.

"You bastard, I'm not that old yet! It's been a long time since I used my memory. My nerves are a little inactive. I'll expel some of the water and stimulate the neurons."

This is equivalent to dehydration in us humans, which causes electrolyte imbalance in the human body and causes nerve convulsions. It's just that the slug's ability to control its body state is too high. It's actually possible to use such dangerous means to make it a breeze.

"Forget it, I can't explain it to a junior like you. I'd better try another way."

Countless slugs gathered from all directions. They gathered under the old slug, and the old slug continued to expand like a balloon. The texture on the back gradually changes from brown to light yellow. What was turbid also became shiny and moist again. Even the wrinkled skin has become smooth.

"Oh, that feeling of being new. It's so uncomfortable."
