The names of all the doctors and apprentices that Ogata has been searching for that can remove the "immortal poison" are very similar, and there may be many people who remember them, so for the convenience of everyone's memory, I will list the names of the three masters and apprentices of Xuanzheng.

Xuanzheng: Master.

Xuan Zhi: The big disciple of Xuan Zheng. Xuanren's brother.

Xuanren: Xuanzheng's little disciple. I don’t know anything about "immortality". I have been practicing medicine in Kyoto before, but I accidentally offended a high-ranking official and was imprisoned. Fortunately, I was rescued by Ogata and Gourd House (the plot of the fifth volume in Kyoto) , Now Xuan Ren is living in the Gourd House in Owari's base.

"Is that the weird Kazuo?" Ogata raised his head and cast a stunned look at the "beggar" not far away.

Ogata didn't know the strange behavior of this guy. But now he has deeply realized the weird appearance of this person.

The "beggar" was standing still now, moving his eyes suspiciously and scanning the surroundings, as if he was looking for something.

"He seems to be only one person..." Lin Ziping showed a thoughtful look, "...I'll go and negotiate with him. If there is an accident, such as he suddenly rushed over to bite me or something, Come and rescue me in time."

After all, Lin Ziping turned out the **** where he was hiding.

"Hirachiyo! Long time no see!"

"Huh? Mr. Lin?" "Beggar" looked surprised, "Why are you here? It's really been a long time since I saw you!"

"I was just picking herbs nearby. After hearing the sound of footsteps here, I walked over and found that there was no one here. I was just wondering, wondering if I heard it wrong."

Ogata and Amachi, still hidden under the slope, listened carefully to Lin Ziping's conversation with this "beggar".

,

Amachi asked Ogata with his eyes: What shall we do now?

Ogata, who understood the meaning of Amachi's eyes, muttered for a moment, then whispered:

"Let's go out too."

Ogata and Amachi left the **** where they were hiding one after another.

Looking at the two of Ogata who suddenly appeared, the surprised "beggar" asked Lin Ziping:

"Mr. Lin, who are these two?"

"These two people are my companions. My companions who travelled with me to study and do research in Ezo."

"Oh! That's it!" The "beggar" stood up straight and bowed in a standard way to Ogata. "We first met. My name is Hira Chiyo. I am a village doctor in a nearby village called Kanto. "

"Meeting for the first time." Ogata returned the gift. "In Shimonamajima Goro."

"My name is Majima Town." Ah Ding can now switch back and forth between the two identities of "Ogata Town" and "Majima Town" quite skillfully.

After introducing themselves to each other with the Ogata couple, the "beggar"...or Hei Chiyo turned his puzzled gaze back to Lin Ziping again.

"Mr. Lin. Although it makes me very happy to see you again, why are you here?"

"I'm here for academic research." Lin Ziping is also a man who lied and can not blush and breathe. "I visited this place before to study the topography and landforms of this place."

"But the last study was not thorough enough, so I want to do it again and conduct a more detailed study."

"So that's it." Ping Chiyo nodded, "Then how is your current research progress?"

"Uh...no progress." Lin Ziping smiled a few times, "After all, I only got here today, and I haven't officially started the research work yet."

Hei Chiyo raised his head and looked at the sky: "It's getting dark now... Mr. Lin, Mr. Mashima, Ms. Mashima, have you found a place to stay overnight?"

"Not yet." Lin Ziping replied.

"Not yet... Then if you don't mind, do you want to come to my house for a temporary stay? Mr. Lin should know-Kanto Village where I live is located nearby, and my herbs are almost collected. If you want to If I want to live in my house temporarily, I can take you to my house now."

"Huh?" Lin Ziping's expression has been very weird since just now, and now after hearing what Ping Chiyo said just now, the weird color on his face is so strong that it can't be added.

Not only Lin Ziping, but Ogata and Amachi also have complex expressions now.

"Hirachiyo, wait a minute. Let me discuss it with my companions."

"Okay. You guys discuss it slowly." Hirachiyo responded in a hearty tone.

Lin Ziping walked back to Ogata and the others, formed a small circle with Ogata and Amachi, and asked in a low voice:

"What should I do now? Do you want to follow Hei Chiyo to his home?"

"Mr. Lin, this Hei Chiyo is really weird..." Acho cautiously glanced at Hei Chiyo not far away, while whispering in a low volume that only the three of them could hear. Did he anger him for some reason, and then he was kicked out of the village? Why did he greet you so enthusiastically this time to come to live with him again?"

"I don't know either..." Lin Ziping is also full of doubts now, "If it weren't because he could call my name accurately, I would doubt if he had admitted the wrong person..."

"It seems that Hei Chiyo is really weird..." Ogata muttered, "...Let's go to his house first."

Lin Ziping nodded: "Let's do it then."

After finishing the discussion, Lin Ziping turned his gaze back to Ping Chiyo: "Ping Chiyo, then I will disturb you all night."

"Hahaha." Hirachiyo smiled, "If you like it, it doesn't matter if you stay with me for a few more nights."

"Usually I am the only person at home. Although I am used to living alone like this, occasionally I still feel a little lonely. So I still welcome more residents to make the home more lively."

"Come, please come with me. The village where I live is not far away."

Hei Chiyo led the way, and the Ogata trio followed him closely.

Looking at Hei Chiyo walking in front of him, Ogata's eyes couldn't hide the confusion.

Before he saw Hei Chiyo, Ogata was wondering whether this weird Japanese doctor could be one of Xuanzheng or Xuanzheng?

Just now, when Hei Chiyo was talking with them, Ogata has been trying hard to check and recognize Hei Chiyo's facial features—however, his face is so dirty that he can’t see the facial features clearly, so he can’t tell him. The face of Qiandai was compared with the appearance of his master Xuanzheng and his senior brother Xuanzhen that Xuanren told them before.

Regardless of the weird thing that "Hei Chiyo seems to have forgotten the feast with Lin Ziping", what Hei Chiyo now presents to Ogata and others is the appearance of a "very warm-hearted sunny man".

Just as Ogata was thinking whether there was any way to see Hei Chiyo's face, Hei Chiyo suddenly turned his head and shouted to the three Ogata who followed him:

"We're here! The village I live in front is Kanto!"

Ogata moved his gaze and looked to the front, and saw several smokes curling up in front of him. Under the smoke, there was a small settlement of small scale. Surrounded by forests, this settlement was quite a paradise.

It is impossible for them as a group not to attract the attention of the villagers.

As soon as Hei Chiyo led the Ogata trio into Kanto Village, many villagers immediately surrounded him.

The eyes of the villagers towards Ogata and Amachi contained only ordinary doubts and curiosities.

And the gazes they cast towards Lin Ziping contained much more complicated emotions.

It seems that the villagers still remember the old man who was driven out of the village before.

The villagers looked at Lin Ziping with strange eyes, and then at Ping Chiyo.

For the strange glances from the villagers, Lin Ziping concealed the embarrassing look on his face.

On the other hand, Hei Chiyo looked blindly at the glances cast by the villagers.

Not only did Hei Chiyo seem to have not noticed the strange color in the villagers' eyes at all, he also announced to the crowd with a smile that he would invite Ogata and others to stay at his house tonight.

"Everyone! Do you all remember this? This is Mr. Lin who has been to our village before! The man and woman next to him are his companions!"

"They want to carefully study the topography and landforms of this place again, and then they haven't found a place to live, so I want to invite them to my house temporarily!"

After listening to Hei Chiyo's shouting, the expressions of the villagers became more complicated and weird.

However, what is even more weird is that no one came up to Ping Chiyo and said, "Did you have a fever, have you forgotten what happened between you and Lin Ziping?" or something like that.

Everyone just stood on the side in silence, silently looking at Ogata and his group with mixed emotions.

At this time, a little boy suddenly ran towards Hei Chiyo.

"Hirachiyo! My mother's cough is gone! (Ainu

"That's great, that's great." Hei Chiyo gave a gentle smile, "Remember to let your mother keep warm during this time. If you don't pay attention to keeping warm, the cough may recur. (Ainu

"Yeah! Good! Ping Chiyo, can I see my mother later? My mother said she wanted to thank you in person!"

"Well, if I have time, I will visit your mother."

"Ping Chiyo."

Hei Chiyo just finished the conversation with the child, an old man on crutches staggered towards Hei Chiyo, while Hei Chiyo continued:

"My son has been feeling very uncomfortable in his stomach since noon yesterday. He doesn't want to **** or vomit. Can you please come and see my son later? (Ainu

"Okay, no problem." Hei Chiyo replied without hesitation, "I'll go see your son later. (Ainu

When Hei Chiyo talked with these villagers, Lin Ziping conscientiously translated their dialogue to Ogata and Amachi beside him.

After the old man who came to ask Hei Chiyo to look at his son's stomach, Ogata said to Hei Chiyo:

"Hirachiyo, you seem to be very popular in this village. I think the villagers seem to trust you."

From the conversation between Hei Chiyo and the old man and the child, it is not difficult to see that the villagers here are very trusting in Hei Chiyo...at least in Hei Chiyo's medical skills.

"I'm a doctor after all." Hira Chiyo turned to look at Ogata behind him.

Although Heira Chiyo's face was dirty and he couldn't see his current expression clearly, Ogata could barely see—he seemed to be smiling shyly now.

"As a doctor, he should have saved the wounded."

"I have always been proud of myself as a doctor."

"Although it seems to be a boastful element to say that, I face every patient, even those who are infected with common wind chill, and I do my best and never slack off."

"I am also fortunate to be respected by the villagers for my conscientious attitude. Ah, we are here, that is my home."

Ogata looked in the direction pointed by Heichiyo's finger—a large Ainu-style house.

After Hei Chiyo entered the house, the layout style of the house was also the layout style of the classic Ainu house.

But there is only one very strange place-the northeast corner of the house has been carved out of a room with wooden boards.

The size of this room is about 7 square meters according to Ogata’s visual observations in a modern earth unit. In the words of this era, this is just a room that can barely fit more than 4 tatami mats. Small room.

This room is equipped with a simple wooden sliding door, only this sliding door connects the room with the hall.

The wooden panels that took this room out of the hall tightly wrapped the room, so standing in the hall, I couldn't see what was in the room at all.

Even without Lin Ziping to introduce Ogata, Ogata can see at a glance—this room is mostly the weird room that caused Lin Ziping to be driven out of the village.

The last time Lin Ziping came to Kanto Village, as today, he received a very warm reception from Chiyo Ping.

But after Lin Ziping asked Hei Chiyo what the room was for, Hei Chiyo's expression changed suddenly. He turned from enthusiastic sunshine to hysterical, and drove Lin Ziping out of the house.

After Lin Ziping was kicked out of his home, he was kicked out of his home by villagers in Kanto Village.

"Come on! Sit as you please!" Hei Chiyo put down the wooden basket containing the herbs that he had been carrying on his back. "I'm going to prepare dinner now! Do you have any precautions?"

"Ping Chiyo!" Lin Ziping suddenly shouted, "Let me cook today's dinner."

"Huh? Are you going to have dinner today?" Hirachiyo looked curious.

"Well. Because we are going to be with you tonight." Lin Ziping smiled, "If I don't do something for you, I always feel a little uneasy in my conscience. I will make dinner today! You sit and wait. Just start!"

"This...isn't it good?" Hei Chiyo scratched his hair. "When I sit and wait for the meal, I always feel a little bit inexhaustible as a landlord..."

"Don't have so many worries!" Lin Ziping continued in a loud voice, "Just treat it as we are repaying you for your overnight stay."

Ogata glanced at Lin Ziping-after Lin Ziping said that he would cook dinner tonight, Ogata knew what Lin Ziping was going to do: he simply didn't want to touch the food that Chiyo had made.

Since Lin Ziping and Hei Chiyo met again, Hei Chiyo's various performances to Lin Ziping are all strange.

Not to mention Lin Ziping, even Ogata is reluctant to touch the meal made by Heira Chiyo, who feels that his brain is really wrong.

After Lin Ziping and Hei Chiyo wrangled for a long time, Hei Chiyo finally nodded:

"Well then, let me, the landlord, be rude once and wait for the meal!"

During the daytime today, it was still a sunny day with a clear sky.

But in the evening, a lot of dark clouds suddenly appeared.

After the night fell completely, the dark clouds had completely occupied the sky, isolating the moonlight.

Lin Ziping's dinner tonight is just a common broth known for using dried meat.

The ingredients and utensils used are all Ogata's own.

Lin Ziping's craftsmanship is not exquisite, it is not unpalatable nor unpalatable, but it is not delicious even if it is delicious.

To put it harder-his craftsmanship means that after a few days he will forget the taste level of the food he cooks.

During the meal, Ogata and others had been chatting peacefully with Chiyo.

Hei Chiyo is a very talkative person. Thanks to his talkativeness, this meal and dinner are spent in chat and laughter.

During the meal, Amachi frequently asked Ogata with his eyes: When shall we discuss business affairs with Hei Chiyo?

And after receiving the question from Amachi's eyes, Ogata kept making the same answer with his eyes: No hurry, I'll talk about it later.

Ogata just waited and waited silently.

Wait until the dinner is over.

After briefly washing the pots and utensils with Amachi, Ogata cleared his throat, and then flushed Chiyo Masamichi:

"Ping Chiyo, in fact-we came to Ezo land, in addition to conducting academic research, there is also a purpose, is to find two and people."

"Two Kazuto?" Hirachiyo Asogata cast a suspicious look.

"Yeah." Ogata nodded, "These two are doctors, they are a pair of masters and disciples. The master's name is Xuanzheng, and the disciple's name is Xuanzhi."

When uttering the words just now, Ogata and Amachi looked at Hei Chiyo's eyes tightly, trying to find even the slightest strangeness in Hei Chiyo's eyes who heard Ogata's words.

Although Hei Chiyo's face was so dirty that he could not see his facial features and expressions, his eyes, the window of the soul, would not be hidden by dirt.

However, the Ogata and his wife stared at Hei Chiyo's eyes together, and did not see any strange emotions in Hei Chiyo's eyes.

Ogata was not in a hurry, and went on to say:

"The age difference between their master and apprentice is quite big..."

Ogata listed the appearance features of Xuanzheng and Xuanzhi that he had heard from Xuanren.

After talking about the appearance and characteristics of these two people, Ogata asked:

"Hirachiyo, have you ever seen these two people or a Kazuto who looks similar to these two people?"

"Xuanzheng, Xuanzhi..." Ping Chiyo mumbled, "No, I haven't seen it."

Ogata carefully checked Heira Chiyo's eyes-still he didn't notice any different colors.

At this time, Hei Chiyo asked rhetorically:

"Mr. Mashima, what are you doing with these two people?"

"There is no complicated reason. I just want to invite those two people to see a doctor." Ogata smiled. "The two doctors are very famous doctors in Kyoto."

"After I got a very rare disease, a friend recommended these two doctors to me."

"After I heard that these two doctors were in Ezo land, they came all the way."

"A rare disease?" Ping Chiyo said, "If you don't mind, I can help you to see. Although I dare not say how superb my medical skills, but some common doctors can not treat diseases, I will rule."

"No need." Ogata shook his head without hesitation, "My disease, apart from the pair of masters and apprentices, there should be no other doctor who knows how to treat it. So I understand your kindness."

"That's it..." Hei Chiyo didn't stalk him, and seeing Ogata declined his kindness, he didn't say much on this topic.

"Since Hei Chiyo hasn't seen these two people, it means that the two people haven't passed through here." Ogata sighed lightly, "It seems that you will have to find another place later..."

"Sorry," said Hirachiyo, "I didn't help you."

"It's okay." Ogata shook his head. "We've been accustomed to this kind of "pumping" feeling."

"Ha~~~" At this time, an untimely yawn sounded.

The yawning person is Lin Ziping.

Lin Ziping is already a 53-year-old man. Although he is in good health, he is far behind the young man.

Today, I was running around in the mountains during the day, consuming a lot of physical energy. When night fell, and when I was full of food and drink, sleepiness gushed out of my body uncontrollably.

"Haha." Ping Chiyo smiled, "It seems that Mr. Lin seems to be tired."

"There is a house next to it, and that house is my clinic. I usually receive patients from the village there and do herbal medicine milling and other work."

"You will sleep in my clinic tonight. Although it is a little smaller, it should be more than enough to sleep three people."

"Yeah." Ogata nodded vigorously. "Thank you for your help."

"It's okay." Hirachiyo waved his hand. "It's just a small matter."

After almost an hour—

Although Kanto Village is a slightly isolated mountain village, their work and rest are no different from other Ainu people-after dinner, they all fall asleep.

After dinner, Ogata and the others, led by Hei Chiyo, entered the clinic near Hei Chiyo's home, preparing to spend the long night in the clinic.

At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed a little, and the moon appeared and disappeared from time to time above the thick clouds.

The moonlight is hazy like a faint light smoke, and the moonlight like a light smoke flows quietly in Kantou Village.

In Hei Chiyo's home, all the lights for lighting have been extinguished.

Hei Chiyo was lying in a corner of his home, and the quilt made of bearskin over his body was undulating in a very rhythmic range.

He is sleeping soundly now—that's what it should be.

Hei Chiyo, who was supposed to be sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes, then lifted the bear skin quilt on his body and stood up.

He first looked around nervously, and after confirming that there were no other people around, he tiptoed towards the room in the northeast corner of the hall that was tightly enclosed with wooden boards.

After gently opening the simple sliding door, Hirachiyo stepped into the room.

Then-

"Xuan Zhi."

Hei Chiyo said slowly.

"Today came a weird young samurai who threatened to look for you and your master."

Hei Chiyo tells what happened today in a simple and concise manner.

"Although I don't know what disease the young samurai wants you and your master to treat, I think you should take shelter for a while."

"...I actually want to see what the young samurai wants me and the master to treat."

"Xuanzhi, you still ignore that young samurai." Chiyo said with a serious face, "Who knows if they really come to see you and your master? You should listen to me obediently, and hide for now. "

"...Should I hide first... Then where should I hide?"

"Hide in the nearby deep mountains first." Hira Chiyo answered without hesitation, "I will bring you back when the young samurai and his people have left."

"...During the time I was hiding, are you planning to deal with that young samurai?"

"Yeah. I meant it." Chiyo Hira grinned, "I am quite confident in my acting skills. I will always pretend to be stupid, pretending that I don't know who Xuanzheng and Xuanzhen are at all, so you... "

At this point in Heichiyo dialect, the rest of the words can no longer be spoken.

Because—a male voice from behind him interrupted his conversation.

"...Hey...what are you...doing?"

Hei Chiyo's pupils shrank suddenly, then quickly turned around and looked behind him.

Behind him, I saw Ogata and Amachi who should be sleeping in his clinic now.

Standing side by side, Ogata and Amachi are now staring at him with eyes widened and shocked.

And in the eyes of the couple, there is still a faint...fear.

Looking at the two Ogata who did not know when they appeared behind him, Hei Chiyo was at first blank, then his face was hideous, like a hen protecting her cubs, opened her arms, and blocked the room behind Ogata and him. between.

"Xuanzhen! Go away! I'll give you some time!"

"...Good, good!"

Neither Ogata nor Acho moved.

They only silently continued to look at Hei Chiyo with a slightly frightened look in shock.

"I say…"

Ogata subconsciously lifted his left hand, and put it on the Daisha heaven on his left waist.

"What the **** are you doing?"

"What Xuan Zhi, what'hurry up'?"

"In this room... from start to finish, aren't you the only one?"

"......Huh?" Ping Qian represented a stagnant mood. UU reading www.uukanshu.cOM

He twisted his stiff neck and looked behind him.

There was no one behind him.

There are no windows, no secret doors, and nothing in this room tightly wrapped in wooden boards.

At this moment, only Hei Chiyo was standing in this room where there was nothing.
