Chapter 7 The Place to Live

Sticking to the three important points of the game, "obscene", "growth", and "don't wave", Shi Lei decided to endure the wave first to avoid the dangerous person Xie.

This is of course not cowardice, but rational strategic forbearance.

However, he had already promised to go back with Chiyo before, and now if he backtracked, he would definitely leave a bad impression on the other party. Therefore, it is very important to find a good reason.

But unfortunately, the time for him to think was too short, and before he could think of a good reason, Chiyo came to the ward again.

"Lizard, let's go back!"

Maybe it was because of an operation just now, at this time Chiyo's face was a little tired, but she still gave Shi Lei a smile as much as possible.

"Hehe...you haven't eaten all day, you should be hungry, I'll make potato pancakes for you when you go back!"

"Uh……"

Feeling the concern in Chiyo's words, at this moment, Shi Lei couldn't help but want to agree to her.

But thinking of Xiao Chong who just died, and that expressionless scorpion, he forced himself to harden his heart again.

"That... Teacher Chiyo, you seem to be very tired, so I won't bother you, please go back and rest early, don't worry about me, I will rest in the hospital today."

"What a good boy!"

Hearing Shi Lei's words of concern, Chiyo's tired face suddenly showed a bit of relief, and he reached out to pat his head again.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, and I don't have any troubles. Apart from me, my grandson Xie is the only one in my family. You are so sensible, maybe you can chat, let's go!"

Shi Lei: "Σ(°△°|||)︴"

I don't want to be able to chat with the Scorpion Demon King!

Shi Lei wanted to refuse, but before he could say the words of refusal, Chiyo grabbed his hand and led him out.

If you refuse at this time, it is obviously impossible, otherwise something will definitely happen.

After being led by Qiandai out of the Shayin Village Hospital, Shi Lei, who endured the failure of his plan, felt a little hopeless, but the matter has come to this point, he can only comfort himself.

"Since we can't avoid it, we can only be more careful. This is Sand Hidden Village after all. No matter how cruel Xie is, he should not be too blatant. What's more, I went with Chiyo. With her in Xie They shouldn’t jump over the tower and kill them by force.”

Thinking of this, Shi Lei felt his nervous heart relax a lot in an instant, and when he looked at Chiyo again, there was a smile on his face.

"This is my umbrella..."

Chiyo didn't know what Shi Lei was thinking in his heart, seeing him smirking at him, he immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

"Hey, nothing!"

Shi Lei shook his head, but the smile on his face grew brighter.

"I just thought that I became Chiyo-sensei's student and could follow you to learn medical ninjutsu. It was like a dream, so I couldn't help laughing happily. Chiyo-sensei, can I live next door to you?"

In fact, what Shi Lei hopes most is to live in Chiyo's house, so as to maximize the role of this big boss's umbrella, but this is obviously not realistic, so he can only settle for the next best thing.

Of course, Chiyo didn't know what he was really thinking. After hearing what he said, a gratified smile appeared on his face again.

"What a good boy who is eager to learn. Since it is your request, then you can live next door to me. If you have any questions, you can always ask me!"

"Thank you, Teacher Chiyo!"

Shi Lei, who got what he wanted, smiled very happily. Seeing his smile, Chiyo's gloomy mood cleared up a lot, and even his steps became much lighter.

Soon, she brought Shi Lei back to her residence.

But what Shi Lei didn't expect was that the moment he entered the door, he saw the expressionless Scorpion.

Seeing Xie staring at him, Shi Lei resisted the urge to turn around and run away, and saluted him resolutely.

"Master Xie, please excuse me. My family members are out on a mission, and it may take some time before they come back. Before that, I will cause you trouble!"

"Ok?"

Hearing Shi Lei's words, Xie frowned immediately, then turned his head to look at Chiyo beside him with a scrutinizing gaze.

Facing Scorpion's gaze, Chiyo's expression was a bit complicated, she seemed a little guilty, and seemed to have other things, but in the end she chose to turn her head to avoid Scorpion's gaze.

"Well... Li has been living here since today, Xie, take him to the room next to me first, and mother-in-law will cook right now, and you can eat after a while!"

After finishing speaking, before Xie could speak, Chiyo went to the kitchen to cook.

Looking at her back, a trace of displeasure flashed across Xie's face.

"I hate waiting!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Shi Lei again, the unhappiness on his face was clearly visible.

Seeing him like this, Shi Lei's expression became a little stiff, but he still managed to force a smile.

"Hey...that...Master Scorpion, you don't have to pay too much attention to me. If you have something to do, you can go and do it first. It doesn't matter if I wait a while!"

"But I hate making people wait!"

After finishing speaking, before Shi Lei could speak again, he turned and left.

Seeing this scene, Shi Lei could only bite the bullet and follow.

Chiyo's house is not that big, so it took only a dozen seconds for Xie to bring Shi Lei to the room Chiyo designated, and opened the door.

"You live here, and the room next to it is Grandma Chiyo's room!"

"Okay, I see, thank you Lord Xie!"

Shi Lei thanked Xie again, and then asked again, "I don't know where you live, Mr. Xie?"

Xie pointed to the room opposite Shi Lei.

"There!"

Shi Lei: "Σ(°△°|||)︴"

……

Knowing that the Scorpion Demon King lived opposite him, Shi Lei instantly felt that his whole body was not well.

But the matter has come to this point, he can only comfort himself with "the most dangerous place is the safest place".

Of course Xie didn't know what Shi Lei was thinking, after completing the task of leading the way, he went back to his room and didn't come out until it was time to eat.

Shi Lei also came out. He was sitting at the dining table, looking at a bowl of soup and two potato pancakes in front of him, and then at Chiyo and Scorpion with the same configuration as himself, he couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

"Isn't this too simple?"

Although he knew that the Sand Hidden Village was currently at war and lacked supplies, he did not expect it to be so scarce.

You know, Chiyo is the advisor of Hidden Sand Village, second only to Kazekage Sandai, Shi Lei wouldn't feel strange about a person like this, even if he had a lot of fish and meat every day.

But the facts in front of him told him that not only was there no big fish and meat, judging from Chiyo's smiling expression, even the potato cakes in front of him might already be considered good food.

"Even the consultants in the dignified Shayin Village can only eat this, and the people below may eat even worse. Is the living environment in Sandyin Village so difficult?"

Thinking of this, Shi Lei's expression became a little heavy.

Seeing him like this, Chiyo thought he was not used to eating, so he opened his mouth immediately.

"Don't lizards like potato pancakes? I added flour and eggs to them. They are delicious. Eat them quickly!"

"Uh... ok!"

Hearing Chiyo's words, Shi Lei, who came back to his senses, nodded quickly, and clasped his hands together with a "snap".

"I'm gonna start now!"

After finishing speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and began to eat in big mouthfuls. Seeing that Chiyo was still looking at him, he quickly showed a very moved expression.

"Ah... what is this, this is too delicious, hiss... really... I have never eaten such a delicious thing in my life, let me have another bite... ah... so refreshing..."

Chiyo: "..."
