I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

"Do you want to see my father soon?" Esuma blinked her eyes in confusion. "What's wrong? Is there something important to tell my father?"

"...That's right. But let me keep a secret about what it is. I think it's better not to advertise what I intend to tell your father."

"As for how Ah Ding was injured... I'm sorry, please allow me to keep it secret for the time being, and I will tell you when the time comes."

When Ogata's words were heard, Esuma was puzzled.

But she didn't ask aloud why Ogata didn't tell him anything.

Esuma is a delicate-minded person.

Seeing the solemn expression on Ogata's face, a voice rang in Aizuma's mind: It's better not to ask more now...

Esuma chose to obediently listen to the voice in her mind. He didn't ask Ogata how he didn't tell her anything, and didn't ask other questions.

At this moment, Kunoya on the side let out a sigh of relief, and then took off the cloth used as a mask on her face.

"Okay, the wound is stitched up again."

"Little girl, you are so amazing, you didn't even hum the whole time."

"I think you are only 20 years old, right? At your age, you are the strongest girl I have ever seen."

Amachi's wound, which was stitched up by Ogata's crude methods, has now been stitched up beautifully with silk thread by Kunoya.

Just now, when Kunoya was re-suturing her wound, Ah Ting never even hummed from beginning to end.

If it weren't for her to bite the cloth in her mouth tightly, the masseter muscles on both sides of her cheek were bulging, and her whole body was sweating in pain, otherwise it would be easy to make people mistakenly think that Ah Ting feels no pain.

After Kunoya announced that the stitching was over, Ah Ding immediately let go of the cloth that had been bitten out of two rows of neat teeth marks, panting softly while whistling:

"I'm not 20 years old... I'm only 19 this year..."

"What's the difference between 19 and 20 years old." After responding to Ah Ding in a half-joking tone, Kunoya put down the tool for stitching the wound in her hand, got up and walked to the huge Chinese medicine cabinet next to her.

At this time, Ogata also took out a clean cloth and wiped the beads of sweat on Acho's body.

"Remind you-I am about to torment the medicine used to put on the wound. The smell may be a bit heavy."

As soon as she finished speaking, Kunoya lit the pot for decocting medicine and began to boil the herbs.

Then, a... smell that was neither smelly nor fragrant began to diffuse everywhere.

After a while, Kunoya took a picture of the decocted medicine and knelt back to Ah Ding's side.

Kunoya applied the plaster used to apply the plaster on Ah Ding's wound, then took out linen cloth and used skilled movements to cover A Ding's wound. "How? Do you feel the tie is too tight or too loose?"

"No... just right..."

"That's good." Kunoya walked back to the huge Chinese medicine cabinet again, "I'm going to start to fry the medicine for drinking now. This will take a lot of time. It will take about 2 hours to cook."

"Little girl, you can sleep for a while. I think you are also tired. Take advantage of the time when I cook the medicine. Sleep for a while. When the medicine is ready, I will ask you to get up and drink the medicine."

Ah Ding, who was injured, was already very weak.

And just after enduring the severe pain, after re-suturing the wound, the feeling of fatigue continued to flow from the depths of his mind and from all parts of the body.

Acho is exhausted physically and mentally, now the upper eyelid and the lower eyelid have begun to fight...

"Eh...? Is it possible? Wouldn't I cause trouble if I sleep in your house...?" Ading asked.

"No, no." Kunoya shrugged, "this is not my home. This is just my clinic, and my home is next to it."

"He Yezhe's total population is only a thousand people, so he doesn't come to see me every day."

"You can rest assured to sleep. When the medicine is ready, I will ask you to get up and drink the medicine."

As soon as Kunoya's words fell, Ogata, who had just wiped Amachi's sweat, was also adjusting Amachi's hair at this time, while whispering to Amachi who was about to open his eyes:

"A Ding, you can go to bed now."

Ah Ting was already very sleepy now, hearing Ogata also said the same, finally seemed unable to hold it, slowly closed her eyes, and after a while, her breathing became even and steady.

"Here. Give it to your wife."

Kunoya, who was decocting the medicine, brought a quilt that seemed to be made of bearskin from nowhere.

Seeing that the quilt was clean, Ogata gently placed the quilt on Amachi's body.

After covering Amachi with a quilt, Ogata took a deep breath. Afterwards, he turned his head too far and said sternly towards Esuma:

"Aisuma, your father shouldn't go to bed yet, right?"

Esuma shook her head.

"Then please take me to see your father now. I intend to finish what I want to say to your father as soon as possible."

"Then you come with me. But... let me remind you again, my father may be busy at this time, so I may not be able to see him now."

"It doesn't matter. Aheli, can I trouble you to take care of Xia Ding during the time I am away? I will be back soon."

Esuma consciously helped Ogata with the translation.

Axi nodded vigorously.

Ogata carried his knife and walked out of Kunoya's clinic one after another with Asoma.

As soon as I left the clinic, I saw Ayizan and Otunpuyi who had just been guarding the outside of the clinic.

After briefly talking about Ah Ding’s treatment and what he was going to do with the two, Ayzan, who learned that Ah Ding’s treatment was going well, and was a little relieved, said that he now plans to return to their home in Qina Village. Visit the place and report peace to him and the people of Ahili.

On the other hand, Otunpui said that he would take Ogata to see their father with Asoma.

As soon as the three of them left the clinic, Otunpui seemed unable to restrain himself. He turned his head and asked Ogata who was walking behind:

"Mr. Mashima, now you can tell us how Ms. Acho was injured..."

Before Otunpuyi's words were finished, his sleeves were suddenly pulled by Aizoma.

When he turned his head to look at his sister, he saw her sister winking at him, and told him with her eyes: Don't ask more.

Although he didn't understand why his sister wanted to prevent him from asking this question, Otunpuyi always obeyed his sister's words, so even though he was puzzled, he chose to listen to her sister's words obediently.

After Esuma stopped her brother from asking how Ah Ding's injury came, the three of them were speechless.

In the silent atmosphere, Asoma and their home slowly appeared within Ogata's vision.

"Mr. Mashima, come in with me."

After all, Essuma speeded up a bit and strode towards her door.

But suddenly-Asoma seemed to think of something, her expression was taken aback, and then she turned her head and said to Ogata:

"Ah, Mr. Majima, I have forgotten to tell you. There are more guests in our house now."

"Guest?" Ogata asked back.

"On the day that the surviving Takta villagers fled to our place, an elderly man suddenly came to us Heyzhe."

"The old man and the villager from the fleeing Takta Village arrived at us at the same time."

"As soon as he arrived, the surviving villagers of Natakta Village followed."

"The man and my father seem to be acquaintances. After they came here, they lived in our house and have lived there until now."

"Lao Kazuto?" Ogata frowned. "What's that person's name?"

"I don't know the full name, I only know that he seems to be named Tang Shen."

"Yujin?" The light in Ogata's pupils shook slightly due to emotional fluctuations.

"Yeah. That person is kind." Esuma nodded. "That person should be in our house now."

"In the past few days, I have been asking my father when he had such a friend, but my father has been reluctant to say, and I don't know why his father is so secretive about the identity of the old man..."

After whispering a word, Esuma quickly walked to the door of the house, opened the curtain, and stepped into the house.

Following Ogata, after entering Esuma's home, he saw Chanup who was sitting cross-legged on the ground and smoking a cigarette.

And... the same old man who hadn't seen him for a while-this old man was sitting cross-legged beside Chanup.

After seeing Ogata, the old man immediately stared his eyes as if he had seen a strange creature with 9 heads.

Aisuma: "Father, you are not busy now, that's just right. (Ainu

"Aisuma, what's the matter? (Ainu Chanup put down his cigarette.

Assoma said loudly the reason for bringing Ogata over.

After learning that Ogata had asked to come and meet him, Chanup raised his eyebrows.

"...I see." Chanup nodded softly, "Then--Aizuma, Otunpuyi, you two go out first, leave some space for me and Mr. Mashima. (Ayi Nu

Chanup turned his head to look at Yujin beside him, and continued in Japanese:

"Tang Shen, you should go out first."

"No." As soon as Chanup finished speaking, Okinawa said immediately, "Just let Mr. Tangshen stay here."

"Oh?" Chanup's eyes were surprised, and he looked at Yujin, and then at Ogata, "...then Yujin, stay."

Assuma and Otunpuyi obeyed Chanup's orders and quickly left the room.

After their siblings left, Xu Jian carried his Da Shitian, walked quickly to Chanup and Tang Shen, and then knelt down on the ground.

When I was standing at the door, I couldn't see clearly due to the angle and light. Now after getting closer, Ogata realized that Chanup seemed tired now.

With half-open eyes, there was a touch of fatigue in his eyes.

But as Ogata sat in front of him, Chanup immediately suppressed the fatigue in his eyes and smiled:

"Mr. Mashima, you are looking for me in a hurry, is there anything you want to tell me?"

"It's true that there is something urgent to tell you, but before that—"

Ogata turned to look at the old Kazuto sitting next to Chanup.

"Mr. Tang Shen, I didn't think we could meet again..."

"Yeah..." The old and man sitting next to Chanup...or Yushen, smiled awkwardly, "Mr. Mashima, why are you... here?"

"Did you two know each other?" Chanup picked up the pipe and took a few puffs, "This is really beyond my expectation..."

"Yeah." Ogata nodded, "In various coincidences, I have had several bonds with Mr. Yujin."

"I didn't expect it... Mr. Tangshen, the old acquaintance you mentioned before to remind him of'Be careful with the army' is Mr. Chanup..."

Speaking of this, Ogata took a deep breath.

"Since you are here, Mr. Yushen, it means... you have told Chanup about the shogunate's launch of the army, right?"

Tang Shen said nothing. After pursing his lips, he nodded gently.

"...Then I have saved some effort." Ogata said softly, "Don't bother to explain to Mr. Chanupu about the dangerous situation you are facing now."

"Mr. Mashima, you are here to see me here, are you here to tell me-did the shogunate launch an army to attack us Heyezhe?" Chanup asked.

"Yeah." Ogata nodded. "But... I don't necessarily have as much information as Mr. Tang Shen."

The reason why Ogata and Esuma asked to meet with Chanup as soon as possible was to inform Chanup of the "shogunate army" as soon as possible. It was precisely for this purpose that he returned to the red moon. Fortress.

Ogata cleared his throat, and then informed Chanup one by one of all the information he knew so far.

Chanup listened carefully to every word and sentence of Ogata.

Soon-Xu Jian said everything he knew.

After quietly listening to Ogata's everything, Chanup first appeared in thought.

After a while, he let out a long sigh, and then forced a smile:

"Mr. Mashima, did you rush back to us here to tell me this information?"

"The villagers of Kina Village, you are now a part of Heyezhe." Ogata slowly said, "And the villagers of Kina Village have a lot of friendship with me, and you have had a lot of friendship with me. Help, so I can’t just ignore you."

"Looking like this...Looking at it this way, I decided to take in China Village and allow you to enter Heyezhe. It was really a very wise choice." After saying this in a half-joking tone, Chinup said. Sit up slightly, and then solemnly bowed to Ogata, "Mr. Mashima, thank you very much for coming back to inform me of the'shogunate attack'."

"You're welcome." Ogata replied. "Mr. Chanup, I think almost everyone, including Esuma and Otunpuyi, doesn't seem to know that the shogunate's army is coming. You. Haven't I told everyone about this?"

"Yeah." Chanup nodded, "Before I have come up with a specific response plan, telling everyone about the bad news will only increase the anxiety and panic of the family, and there may be various accidents. ."

"Mr. Mashima, when you returned to Heyezhe, you didn't tell the others that the peacemaker's army was coming over, right?"

"Don't worry. I'm not a fool." Ogata replied, "I didn't mention this to anyone before I saw you. Tell the people that there is an attack from a foreign enemy. This is your job, and I won't overtake it on my behalf."

"But I suggest that you better tell your people about the terrible news as soon as possible."

"You can't hide this at all. When the shogunate's army comes down to the city, you will never be able to hide it anymore."

"I understand what you are talking about." Chanup laughed self-deprecatingly. "At present, I only tell a handful of people about the bad news. These days, these people and I have been discussing what to do."

"However...it has been discussed for several days. As a result, there has not been a single result discussed until now."

"Some people say that they can run away, some people advocate a fight to the death with others, and some people say...surrender directly..."

Speaking of this, Chanup shook his shoulders, and the self-deprecating expression on his face became more intense.

"Heren’s army. It came too suddenly... We didn’t even have the slightest preparation... Why Heren should send troops to us..."

"The reason I've heard that the shogunate sent troops to you is that you incited the naturalized Ainu people in Matsumae Castle and caused those naturalized Ainu people to riot." Ogata said.

Chanup laughed softly as if he had heard some funny joke.

"Mr. Mashima, do you believe this?"

"To be honest--I don't believe it." Ogata replied without thinking.

The Ainu people of the Red Moon Fortress incited the naturalized people of Songqian City-this kind of words can only deceive those who have never been to the Red Moon Fortress and have no knowledge of the Red Moon Fortress.

When Ogata learned from Matsudaira Matshinbubu that the shogunate had sent troops for this reason, Ogata had strong doubts about Matsudaira Matshinbu's words.

He has been to the Red Moon Fortress, and he has seen with his own eyes that most of the people in the Red Moon Fortress are not hostile to Heren. The Red Moon Fortress has no motive to incite the naturalized people in Songqian City at all.

After hearing Ogata's answer without hesitation, Chanup's face showed some relief:

"Of course we haven't incited the naturalized people in Matsumae City. What good is this for us?"

"I can think of the reason why the shogunate sent troops to us...probably because it was not pleasing to our eyes..."

"Our fortress is located in an excellent geographical position."

"Since the shogunate discovered this land a few years ago, it sent people to contact us from three to five places. They wanted to surrender us and let us give up this new home that we finally found."

"Of course we will not pay attention to such unreasonable requests, so every time their shogunate sends someone to persuade you to surrender, we will refuse it once."

"Occupying a place with a very good geographical location, and repeatedly refused to surrender and annoyed the shogunate... This is probably the real reason for the shogunate to send troops to us..."

Chanup took a deep breath.

"Never mind... No matter what the shogunate's real reason for sending troops to us is, it doesn't matter anymore..."

Chanup stretched out his fingers and squeezed his eyebrows.

Ogata: "You look tired."

"Um...because these days I've been worrying about what to do..." Chanup smiled bitterly, "I can't even sleep well...to be honest, before you came, I was actually taking a nap. ...I just woke up when you came."

Speaking of this, Chanup took a deep breath. Reshape the face and transform the wry smile into a smile.

"Mr. Mashima, thank you for coming back here to remind me."

Chanup said again "thank you"

then--

"Now...you take your wife and leave here~www.wuxiahere.com~ Chanup said every word.

"There is no need for you and your wife to stay here to accompany us in the danger. While the shogunate's army is still in the future, Majima-san, run away!"

PS: A few days ago, I told everyone that my favorite animal is a bear. As a result, many book friends asked me if I was doing metaphors. I didn’t like bears, but the one with 柰子...

The author is here to explain. The author is not making any metaphors. My favorite animal is indeed the bear, KUMA~~

Ever since I was a child, I have felt that the chubby bears with round ears are cute, and I have the urge to hug them.

But-for the other one, the author also likes it very much~~ (Sizzle.jpg)
