Ning Ci nodded, fearing that the two of them would not believe it, he took out a large pile of herbs that he had just picked from his arms.

"Yes, otherwise what would I be doing here? Is there something wrong with you two? Why do you think of me as a ghost when you are such a living person? Tell me, what characteristics of me make you think Got this wrong understanding?”

Although Neji was very dissatisfied with the looks in the eyes of these two people, Neji still had the patience to ask. Firstly, Neji was indeed a little curious. Secondly, Neji was resting here and needed to take it out for a while. Let your body recover. You have been bored alone during this period. Now that you happen to meet two people, you might as well chat with them along the topic to make it less boring.

When Ningji asked, the thin man began to look at Ningji again, this time even more carefully, looking up and down from his hair to his legs. If it weren't for this thin man, sitting on the ground and not moving, plus There was nothing greedy or fiery about his gaze, and Neji even wondered if this person had a problem with his orientation.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

Neji couldn't stand being looked at so much that he couldn't help but ask. However, the thin man just nodded while looking at him, completely ignoring Neji's inquiry. He nodded while still mumbling.

"Yes! That's right, I saw it right. It must be him. It can't be wrong."

Ning Ci was gnashing his teeth angrily. If it wasn't for the fact that there were two ordinary people in front of him, Ning Ci might have waved his fist in greeting.

"I said! Did you guys listen to me?"

Neji couldn't help but roared in the end. Only then did the thin man come to his senses. After feeling Neji's anger, he immediately shuddered and sat upright.

"Because you suddenly took away the herbs we were going to collect, and when you appeared there was only a white shadow, and the speed was too fast, so we mistook you for a ghost. I'm really sorry!"

"That's it? Forget it, it's over anyway, so there's no need to apologize. Speaking of which, you said that I picked the herb you were going to pick, right? If I remember correctly, it should be this plant, right? I thought you guys I was just passing by, I didn’t expect you to come here for it, don’t say I’m bullying, I’ll give it back to you.”

As he said that, Ning Ci threw the medicinal herbs collected when he met them before from his arms in front of them.

A hint of joy flashed in the thin man's eyes, and he quickly picked up the herbs. Ning Ci rolled his eyes, turned back to the stone, took out a scroll and put all the remaining herbs into the scroll.

The thin man didn't notice because he had the herbs in his hands, but the fat man noticed Neji's movement very sharply, his expression immediately became agitated, and the fat on his body trembled again because of the excitement.

"Are you a ninja? Are you really a ninja?"

Ning Ci paused for a moment, and looked at the fat man with some doubts. Although he didn't know why the fat man was so excited, he still nodded.

"I know a few ninjutsu, so I can be considered a ninja, what's wrong? Is there any problem?"

The fat man became even more excited when he heard that, and he prostrated himself directly in front of Ning Ci.

"Great! Really great! Ninja-sama, please help us! Please! As long as you can help us, we are willing to give everything!"

"Huh? What the hell? Help you? What can I help you with?"

The more Neci listened, the more confused he became. He looked at the fat man in confusion. The fat man raised his head and saw that Neci's face looked very hesitant. Just as he opened his mouth to speak, the thin man next to him suddenly opened his mouth and scolded, interrupting the fat man. .

"Enough! Don't talk nonsense! How can a ninja help us!"

Hearing the scolding, the fat man immediately showed a painful expression on his face. Although this matter had nothing to do with Neji, the sound of "How could the ninja help us" made Neji very upset. He said it like a map cannon It's the same as saying that all ninjas are bad guys.

"Hey, hey, what do you mean? Although I'm not a good person, I'm not a heinous person, and what you said is obviously prejudiced against all ninjas, right? Fortunately, there are no others here. If there are others If your ninjas hear it, you'll be in trouble."

Although Ning Ci was a little upset, he was not very angry. Since he could say such a thing, it meant that these two people, or at least this skinny man, had been treated unfairly by the ninja, otherwise he would not have said anything. This kind of "open group" words come out.

The thin man also realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and with a painful expression on his face, he kowtowed deeply to Neji.

"I'm very sorry, I didn't mean it that way."

This time kowtowing Ning Ci didn't feel much, after all, these two people had already kowtowed to him like garlic, and now kowtowing is completely harmless.

"I'm not very angry, after all, I'm not a serious ninja, but if you want to talk about what's going on, I'm willing to listen, of course, if it doesn't work, then forget it, anyway I'm not too interested."

Neji pretended to be indifferent, but in fact it really didn't matter. After all, he didn't know these two people, and he was really not a serious ninja. Even if the thin man said that, Ningji He wasn't very angry, and combined with the thin man's reaction just now, it was obvious that he didn't want to say anything, so Neji was prepared to force himself.

However, what Neji didn't expect was that after struggling for a while, the thin man actually spoke.

"We live in a small mountain village not far from here. A few years ago, a group of bandits came. These bandits robbed the village and forced us to collect medicines everywhere. In the name of purchasing, the bandits used very cheap They collect the medicinal materials at high prices and then turn into merchants to buy the medicinal materials in various cities at high prices to make huge profits. As a result, the people in our village are too hungry to eat and cold to wear clothes. Some of the weaker people even die of cold and starvation. , we also issued commissions several times to seek help from ninjas to get rid of these bandits, but these bandits have already colluded with ninjas, and those ninjas did not accept our commissions at all, so we really had no choice."

When he said this, the thin man's face was already full of tears and he couldn't make a sound. The fat man next to him was also crying and holding his lips tightly. Neji had no doubt that if the fat man hadn't bit his lips, he would have spoken louder by now. Started crying.

Ning Ci sat on the boulder, nodded slightly while holding his chin, and finally understood the cause and effect.
