I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Text Chapter 299

"Please rest here."

After the old bustard with a weird smile said this, he quickly exited the room, leaving Ogata and the young woman in a room alone.

"Master Yidaozai."

After the old bustard retired, the young woman saluted Ogata again.

"This place is very safe, please rest here."

"...It seems that you know my name." As Ogata said, he took off Dashaten who was stuck in his waist and sat cross-legged in front of the woman.

"Yeah." The woman nodded, "Master A Gong has already told me about you just now. Don't worry, everyone in this Yoshiya will only follow Master Xin. You stay here, officials and rewards. The hunters can't help you."

Ogata only recalled, and then remembered who "Master Amiya" was—the dwarf who brought Ogata to Yoshiya just now.

"Ah, it's rude. After saying so much, I forgot to introduce myself."

The woman saluted Ogata again.

"Nujia Dieyin, please advise."

"Please advise." Ogata nodded gently.

"May I have some wine?"

"No need," Ogata said without thinking.

"Master Idosesai don't need to be so restrained." Dieyin smiled slightly, "Master A Gong has already ordered the slave family just now-take care of Master Idosai Ogata.

"So you have to cherish the Nujia." Dieyin said in a half-joking tone, "The Nujia is the leading card of this Jiwu, but ordinary people don't even have the qualifications to see me."

"Then I'm very honored." Ogata smiled slightly, "I was able to live in the same room with Yoshiya's top card."

"No, no, no." Choyin shook his head, "I am honored. When I learned that I was going to take care of Ogata Ichisai, I was so happy that I was about to cry."

You are too exaggerated-just as Ogata wanted to say this, he suddenly heard a painful groan from the next room.

As soon as this moan sounded, Dieyin's face suddenly changed while sitting in front of Ogata.

"Sorry..."

After Dieyin bowed his head to give Ogata a light salute, he picked up his clothes and hurriedly walked towards the paper sliding door to the east.

The rooms are connected to each other with paper sliding doors-this is also one of the Japanese architectural features of this era.

The room where the two of Ogata stayed is connected to the next room, and you can enter the east room by opening the sliding paper door on the east side.

After Dieyin opened the paper sliding door on the east side of the room, the scene in the next room caused Ogata's pupils to shrink slightly.

In the center of the room was a quilt, and a beautiful woman lay in the quilt.

This beautiful woman is still very young, about 23 or 24 years old.

However-this woman's beautiful face is now covered with red spots.

"Syphilis..." Ogata whispered softly in a volume that only he could hear.

In this era when there is no penicillin and the level of medical treatment is backward, there is basically only one way to go with a disease like syphilis-waiting for death...

Dieyin quickly walked to the side of the woman who had contracted syphilis in three steps and two steps, and lifted the woman from the bedding.

Then he picked up the water cup placed by the head of the bed, fed the sick woman with a skillful technique, and stroked the sick woman's back.

With Dieyin's efforts, the painful moan of the sick woman gradually ceased.

After the sick woman's breathing stabilized again, Dieyin seemed to be relieved to help the sick woman to lie back on the bedding.

"Sorry, Ogata-sama, I made you laugh..."

Choyin turned his head back, and smiled apologetically at Ogata.

"This is my best friend in Yoshiya-Hatsukaze."

"Meeting for the first time." Ogata held his right hand Taishaten, kneeling on the head of Hatsukaze's bed, "I am Ogata."

Chu Feng opened his eyes for a moment.

After taking a glance at Ogata, a slight smile appeared on Hatsukaze's face.

"Are you... the guest who ordered your sister...?"

A bit of bitterness and embarrassment flashed across Dieyin's face.

Just as Choyin was thinking about how to explain to Hatsukaze who Ogata was, Ogata said without hesitation just after Hatsukaze's voice fell:

"Yes."

The smile on Chufeng's face became stronger.

"Thank you... for ordering my sister..."

"Hatsukaze." Choyin said at this time, "You continue to rest, Ogata-sama and I will not disturb you to rest."

"Hmm..." Even though he didn't have much strength anymore, Chufeng still struggling to nod his head.

After exiting from Hatsukaze’s room and returning to the room where Ogata and Choyone were staying, Choyon immediately bowed to Ogata and apologized:

"Master Ogata, thank you for making the rounds for me just now..."

The voices of Ogata and Choon have always been very small, and Hatsukaze has now fallen asleep again, so there is no need to worry that Hatsukaze in the next room will hear them talking.

"It's just a small matter, don't need to thank me specifically."

"...I'm sorry." Die Yin, who knelt back on the tatami, had a bitter face, "Just now... let you see the unsightly picture..."

"Master Ogata, the scene you saw just now is the dying appearance of most wandering girls..."

"Always, there have been few people who can survive the disease..."

"The doctor has already told me... Chufeng will not live long..."

When she said this, the expression on Dieyin's face was still calm, as if she was talking about something trivial.

It's just that—Dieyin's hands that were naturally placed on her legs now slowly tightened, firmly grasping the kimono fabric on her legs.

"But Chufeng is still lucky... She still has me, and my friend who is willing to continue to pay for her and help her get a doctor..."

"If not, she will be thrown into Huiyuan to fend for itself..."

Hearing Choyin's words, Ogata couldn't help but recall the woman he saw in Mihara who also had syphilis and died on the side of the road...

"Whether it is Yoshihara in Edo or Shimabara on our side, it's all the same-as long as you enter here as a wandering girl, there is no way to go out."

Ogata and Choe sound just sat by the window at this time.

When she said this, Dieyin turned her head too far and looked out the window.

Following Choyin's gaze, Ogata looked towards where Choyin was looking now.

The place Dieyin looked at right now was the tall wall surrounding Shimabara.

"As long as you enter here to be a wandering girl. If you want to get out, there are only 3 ways left."

"The first method: work until 28 years old. According to the rules of the shogunate: we Yoshihara and Shimabara wandering girls can retire as long as they work until they are 28 years old."

"The second method: save enough money to redeem yourself, or someone is willing to pay you to redeem you."

"The third method: die."

"28 years old..." Dieyin's tone seemed to be talking about astronomical numbers, "There are not many wandering girls who have the luck to live to 28 years old."

"Even if you escape all diseases by chance and live to be 28, it doesn't mean you will have a free body."

"After you reach the age of 28, although you can retire, it doesn't mean you can rest."

"Our daily food and clothing expenses, etc., are charged to our personal account."

"If you don't pay off these bills, you can't get free."

"So even if you reach the age of 28 when you can retire, you will return to freedom in name, but if you don't pay off these debts, you still have to stay here and do all kinds of hard work to pay off the debts."

"Most of the wandering girls are like the first wind, getting sick before the age of 28, and then slowly waiting for death."

"So most of the wandering girls have no way to get out of this "cage" until they die..."

"There is no way to get out of this'cage', even the Gion Festival can't participate..."

"Every household in Kyoto can go to see tonight's ‘Samuel Parade’, and the birds in our cages can’t even hear a sound."

"But fortunately-this year's Gion Festival, finally we can also participate in caged birds."

"Master Ogata, do you know why we caged birds can also participate in this year's Gion Festival?"

"I don't know." Xuren shook his head in confusion.

"Because this year's Gion Festival has more fireworks."

Hearing Choyin's words, Ogata immediately became clear.

Upon hearing Dieyin's words, Xu Jian immediately remembered that there was indeed such a thing.

"After tonight's'Mountain Cruise' is over, there will be a grand fireworks show."

"This is the idea of ​​Mr. Kamiyama Koshinosuke, who will adjust the'Yamko Tour' to tonight, and after the'Sankok Tour' is over, the fireworks that can illuminate the entire Kyoto will be set off."

"I don't know how people in other parts of Kyoto think of Lord Kamiyama, but all the wandering girls in Shimabara are very grateful to Lord Kamiyama."

"Watching fireworks with other Kyoto people-this is the only way for us wanderers to participate in the Gion Festival."

"Now, all the wandering girls in Shimabara are looking forward to tonight's fireworks."

Dieyin struck her chin out of the window.

"Master Ogata, look."

Ogata looked up.

The place Dieyin was referring to was the shop window on the first floor of the girl's house opposite Jiwu.

The dozen or so wandering girls sitting behind this window were all excited at this time.

Because there are no guests outside the window now, these dozen or so wandering girls are chatting there at this time.

It's just that Ogata couldn't understand what the dozens of wanderers were talking about because of the distance.

"They must be talking about the fireworks tonight..."

"I think it's definitely not just us wandering girls who are looking forward to tonight's fireworks."

"Neither the wandering girl, the peasants, the craftsmen, nor ordinary people like us, it is not easy for us to live well..."

"We ordinary people, throughout the year, there are not many moments for bold relaxation and entertainment like tonight."

"So... everyone will cherish tonight..."

After quietly listening to Die sound's sad feeling, several faces appeared in Ogata's mind one by one.

In addition to the faces of these people appearing in Ogata's mind, what these people said to Ogata echoed again in Ogata's ears.

The first human face that appeared in Ogata's mind was the face of the cake mother who met during the overnight stay in the outskirts of Kyoto last night.

(Tomorrow is the busiest day of the Gion Festival, I can’t help but join in the fun. Aaaaa~ I really look forward to tomorrow.)

The second face that appeared in Ogata's mind was the old man named "Hirajo" who enthusiastically introduced him and Amachi to the history of Gion Matsuri and Yamato.

(In these years, everyone has had a hard time... First, there was a'great hunger at dawn' and then a fire at dawn. Everyone was tortured by these disasters one after another... Now finally there is one to indulge. Everyone is looking forward to the hilarious days......)

The third face that came to Ogata's mind was Makimura.

(I also think that the current murder case that has disturbed Kyoto's chickens and dogs is not as simple as it seems. The man behind the murder case is very likely to have something else...)

This is exactly what Mucun said to him when Huiyuan was parting from Mucun just now.

The last face that appeared in Ogata's mind...It was Amachi.

This time, the sound that rang in Ogata's ear was his own voice in addition to Amachi's voice.

(...A Ding, let's go to see that ‘Yamong Tour’ together tonight.)

(Okay!)

...

...

Snapped!

Ogata lifted Oshaten, punched the bottom of Oshaten's knife handle firmly to the ground, and then used Oshaten as a staff, and slowly stood up.

"Master Ogata?" Die sound was puzzled.

"...Dieyin, let me be honest with you."

"In fact, I never thought from beginning to end that I would really hide here to hide in the limelight and pass it completely."

Ogata’s words are true. He really never thought of hiding here until Kyoto to revoke his wanted for the whole city.

"I wouldn't just stand by and do nothing."

"The reason why I hid here temporarily, I just want to rest and rest, so that the chaotic brain can get a moment of rest."

"Inexplicably carrying a scapegoat, the more I think about it, the more angry I get."

"If I don't try to find out who is behind me, I can't swallow this breath no matter what ~ www.wuxiahere.com ~ I have enough rest now, so-I'll go first."

The words that Ogata said just now, such as "back the black pot", did not understand Die Yin.

But Choyin roughly understood the meaning of what Ogata said just now.

After looking up and down a lot of Ogata with stunned eyes several times, a faint smile appeared on her face.

"Master Ogata, since you are determined to find out who was behind you, do you have any clues now?"

"No," Ogata said without hesitation. "I'm going to find a friend who might know some clues first."

This friend in Ogata's mouth refers to Fengma.

Wind Demon has a wide range of contacts in Kyoto, and is the only person Ogata currently thinks of who can help him now.

"...Master Ogata. The Nujia...maybe you know some clues."

Dieyin showed hesitation on her face.

But after a few hesitations, the color of determination emerged in Dieyin's eyes.

"About half a month ago, a group of guests visited our Jiwu."

"I happened to be one of the wandering girls who was in charge of picking up guests."

"When they were drinking, one of them seemed to have drunk too much, and he blurted out this sentence: Everything is ready, just wait for the day when the'mountain patrol' and the'fireworks display' are held."

"As soon as this guest uttered this sentence, he was immediately stopped by the rest of his companions."

"The Nujia didn't pay much attention to this sentence at the time, and just treated it as a madman's madman for drunken people."

"I remember the identity of this group."

"These people are disciples of the Metaphysics Hall!"
