Chapter 144
"he……"

Just as Mo Jinyan was about to speak, the farmer Ida Kazuo hurriedly interrupted: "Father, I have made it clear, all the warriors of Mo Jinyan know about it."

"Yeah, he made it clear that he didn't lie to me or anything." Mo Jinyan hurriedly rescued the farmer Ida Kazuo.

"No, if warrior Mo Jinyan knew, why did he bring a warrior here? Why did he bring a woman to such a dangerous place like us? Don't forget, the other party is more than 60 robbers."

It was only then that Mo Jinyan realized that the village chief's father, Kameda Shokawa, was not reprimanding Kazuo Ida, but was blaming Kazuo Ida. Mo Jinyan dared to bring a woman here so recklessly. Isn't this courting death?

Not only is he looking for death, but he seems to be cheating their village. This is related to the honest lives of the village, so it can't be sloppy.

"It turns out that the village chief is worried about this problem. In fact, I..."

Mo Jinyan couldn't face the disappointed eyes of those villagers. In fact, the moment he opened the door, he saw that the villagers treated him like a protector, and he knew that he was of great significance. He felt that this trip was not in vain. Just as he was about to explain, the farmer Ida Kazuo interrupted again.

"Father the village chief, you are too worried. Although warrior Mo Jinyan only brought one warrior and two women, he is very powerful. Listen to me, that day..."

Farmer Ida Kazuo told all the villagers vividly how Mo Jinyan defeated six samurai with one move that day, and the villagers below were all excited.

"I didn't expect this samurai to look so young and so powerful."

"That's right, one of them knocked out six samurai at once, so if you use all your strength, you can probably deal with more than 60 robbers."

"I can't tell. It's true that people cannot be judged by their appearance, but the sea cannot be measured."

"A few years ago, the samurai were invited to deal with the robbers. They swindled food, drink, and money in our village. When the robbers finally came, they all escaped. The number seems to be unable to solve the problems of our village."

"Then let's wait and see."

"But we can't afford to gamble. If he fails, we will be hungry this year."

"I feel sad when I think of eating bark and eating mice. My children are growing up."

"..."

Among the more than 150 villagers, some chose to believe what Kazuo Ida said indirectly that Mo Jinyan was very strong, while others were worried and afraid of accidents. After all, this is an era where even samurai cannot be trusted.

"So that's how it is. Warrior Mo Jinyan is really skilled."

I don't know if the words of the village head's father, Kameda Xiaochuan, are exaggerating Mo Jinyan or acting strangely.

Mo Jinyan, who came from the Lingqi mainland, naturally maintained the humility of the Lingqi mainlanders, and said softly: "It's okay, it's okay, I think my hand should be more than enough to deal with ordinary robbers."

Mo Jinyan originally wanted to tell the story of how he assisted Abe Seimei, the number one onmyoji in Cangying Kingdom, to deal with the ghost king Shuten Doji, but he kept it low-key.

"Soldier Mo Jinyan is really humble. Since you are so powerful, can you show your hands in front of our villagers?"

The village chief's father Kameda Xiaochuan has never shown a happy expression, and Mo Jinyan can tell that the village chief's father Kameda Xiaochuan naturally does not believe what the farmer Kazuo Ida said, let alone wake up his own strength.

"I'm sorry, I, Mo Jinyan, am not a performer. Naturally, I won't be here to perform for you. If you don't believe me, you can hire someone else."

Mo Jinyan tilted his head in disgust, and Dawu and Nezuko also felt that the village head's father, Kameda Xiaochuan, was very rude.

"Gao Ming, please? But it's too late, the grain will be harvested in these two days, the robbers will come as soon as they say it, and if they go out to invite other warriors, there will be no time at all."

As soon as the village elder Kameda Xiaokawa said this, the villagers who didn't trust Mo Jinyan became even more anxious.

"Kazuo Ida, what are you doing? Aren't you joking with the lives of our villagers?"

"Kazuo Ida, you must have been cheated, right?"

"Kazuo Ida, give everyone an explanation!"

Facing the denunciation of many people, Ida Kazuo was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He didn't know what to do and could only look at Mo Jinyan pitifully, hoping that Mo Jinyan could show his skills to everyone.

"Come on! Someone stole the chicken!"

Just as everyone was looking at Mo Jinyan expecting him to show his skills, a scream came from the left side of the square, breaking the silence.

"Ok?"

Mo Jinyan, Dawu, and Nezuko.The village chief's father, Kameda Shokawa, and all the villagers looked out, but they didn't expect that a villager was chasing and beating Kikuchiyo, who hadn't seen him all night, with a stick.

"My uncle traveled thousands of miles to your village to drive away the robbers for you. What's wrong with eating one of your chickens?"

Ju Qiandai ran towards Mo Jinyan with a chicken in his arms.

"Hey, he's still a warrior. Could it be the one brought by you, warrior Mo Jinyan?"

The village chief's father, Kameda Xiaochuan, asked Mo Jinyan with a strange smile.

Mo Jinyan, Dawu, and Neidouzi's faces turned red and purple: "Dog meat can't be served at the table, this damn Kikuchiyo, actually embarrassing me at such a time! I'm so pissed off!"

The onlookers saw that it was not their own chicken, and they were dealing with another samurai, so they didn't dare to come forward to help, so they just watched helplessly as the villager chased and beat Ju Chiyo with a stick.

"Master! The villagers here are so picky. Isn't this uncle just hungry and want to eat one of their chickens? Is there something wrong?"

Kikuchiyo ran to Mo Jinyan holding the chicken.

"My God! Why are you not dead yet!"

Mo Jinyan covered his face with his hands and kept shaking his head and sighing.

"Taro, forget it, dad, I'm here, don't do anything yet."

The village head's father, Kameda Xiaochuan, ordered the villager not to do such rude things in front of outsiders.

"The old village chief asked him to return my chicken, and I pointed at this chicken to lay eggs."

Villager Taro stared at Kikuchiyo and begged the village elder, Kameda Sakigawa.

"I know, I know."

The elder of the village head, Kameda Shokawa, stared at Ju Chiyo again, and Kiku Chiyo didn't feel ashamed in front of the villagers, scratching his ears, rubbing the mud on his chest, winking at the villagers, and shaking He smirked with his thighs tilted and his shoulders tilted, which actually made the villagers below laugh too.

"Are you a samurai too?"

The village head's father, Kameda Shokawa, looked at the very funny Kikuchiyo with seriousness.

"My uncle is a samurai."

Ju Chiyo said seriously.

"For so many years, there have been more than 100 warriors who passed by our village and were invited by us, but none of them acted like a local rascal like you. Are you a warrior?"

Facing the doubts of the village chief's father, Kameda Shokawa, Ju Chiyo was even more proud.

"Old man, aren't you talking nonsense? This uncle is a samurai. The samurai you have seen before are all hypocritical liars. They are all villains. I am the real samurai. I have a genealogy here. To be honest Let me tell you, your ears are all pricked up, don't scare you to death by saying it!

This uncle is the warrior of Genji, the most noble among the warriors! "

Holding the chicken in one hand, Ju Qiandai took out the stolen genealogy from his bosom to show off to the villagers.

"It's actually a warrior of Genji, that must be very powerful."

"That's right, that's the Wu family who broke away from the public family!"

"Nowadays, many daimyos are from Genji. I didn't expect Kazuo Ida to invite such a distinguished samurai."

"Nobility is useless, what we want is a powerful samurai! A samurai who can protect us!"

All the villagers talk to each other, whether it is good or bad, Ju Qiandai enjoys this feeling very much, just like when he showed up in the inn in Shanxing Town, no matter whether it is true or not, as long as he hears others talk about him, he is happy Incomparable.

"Kazuo Ida, is what this Genji samurai said true?"

The village chief's father, Kameda Shokawa, naturally would not easily believe what Kikuchiyo said. In other words, anyone who has seen the world can tell that Kikuchiyo is an out-and-out hooligan without the temperament of a samurai.

The farmer Ida Kazuo naturally knew the details of Ju Qianyo, but Mo Jinyan was embarrassed to say so, so he secretly looked at Mo Jinyan. Kazuo Ida nodded silently.

After receiving Mo Jinyan's hint, farmer Kazuo Ida replied to the village elder, Kameda Sakigawa: "It's true, he didn't lie."

"That's it, you are really a distinguished guest."

The village chief's father, Kameda Xiaochuan, old Er Nila, looked at Mo Jinyan and then at Ju Qianyo with complicated eyes, and finally looked at Dawu and Nezuko, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Ju Chiyo, return the chicken, hurry up! Stop embarrassing yourself here!"

Mo Jinyan yelled violently, Ju Qiandai saw that Mo Jinyan was angry, so he reluctantly returned the chicken to the villager Taro.

"Really picky!"

After pointing at the villager Taro and cursing, Ju Qiandai stood behind Mo Jinyan, Dawu, and Neidouzi.

"So the village chief, do you have any questions?"

The episode caused by Ju Qiandai passed away like this, and the most important thing for Mo Jinyan now is to gain the trust of the villagers.

"Well, let me think about it."

The village head's father, Kameda Xiaochuan, stared at Mo Jinyan, Dawu, and Neidouzi and smiled, but Mo Jinyan, Dawu, and Neidouzi felt scared.

After a long time, the village head father smiled and looked at the farmer Ida Kazuo: "You did a good job in this matter. You were able to invite such a powerful warrior and such a distinguished warrior. You are the pride of our village."

The farmer Kazuo Ida bowed his head in embarrassment when he heard the village chief's father praise him: "This is all for the sake of the village, and this is what I should do."

The village head's father Kameda Xiaochuan smiled coldly: "Okay, help me up."

The farmer Ida Kazuo helped the village head’s father, Kameda Shokawa, to get up. The village head’s father, Kameda Shokawa, looked at all the villagers and said, “Everyone can trust the warriors Mo Jinyan and the warriors Kikuchiyo, they are our saviors. I swear by name, they will definitely save our village."

"Thank you for the village chief's trust."

Mo Jinyan nodded to all the villagers with satisfaction.

"Sure, with Warrior Mo Jinyan and Warrior Ju Chiyo, we finally don't have to deliver food to the robbers this time. To celebrate the arrival of Warrior Mo Jinyan and Warrior Ju Chiyo, let's celebrate in Muto Village tonight. I will hold a banquet for your arrival! Do you agree with each other?"

All the villagers saw that the respected village head father Kameda Xiaochuan said so, and all the villagers had nothing to say and echoed.

"Okay! It's been a long time since we held a banquet in our village!"
-
In the evening, led by the village head, a grand welcome banquet was held in the middle of the village, but the food prepared was very poor, not even meat, and the most delicate and delicious rice balls were made of polished rice.

Even though the food was so shabby, it still blocked the enthusiasm of the villagers, singing and dancing, and the villagers indulged wantonly. Even Dawu and Nezuko were infected by the lively atmosphere, singing and dancing with the villagers, and became one.

"Ju Chiyo."

Mo Jinyan naturally felt bored, mainly because he didn't know anyone, and he wasn't good at dancing either. Although the atmosphere was lively, he felt bored and could only chat with Kikuchiyo next to him.

"What's the matter, Master?"

Ju Qianyo was eating the rice ball in his hand but staring at the girl in the village.

"Where did your kid sleep last night?"

Ju Chiyo chuckled and pointed to a big tree in the middle of the square.

"No, you slept in a tree last night?"

Mo Jinyan felt a little unbelievable.

"Yeah, sleeping in a tree is comfortable, I often sleep in a tree."

Ju Qianyo replied casually.

"No wonder you like to sleep on trees. Your kid looks like a monkey on weekdays, so it's not surprising, hahahaha."

Ju Qianyo's expression suddenly became serious: "Master, I actually don't want to sleep on a tree. You know my details. I'm actually an orphan. I have no parents since I was a child..."

"Oops, I'm sorry, it brought back your sad past..."

Mo Jinyan said ashamed.

"It's okay, I'm used to it."

Ju Qiandai was a little disappointed, he lost his appetite and put down the rice ball he took a bite of.

"There are so many professions in the world, why do you like to emerge as warriors?"

It is also rare for Mo Jinyan to calm down and understand the past of a person he hates. Anyway, now that he is a scoundrel, he will talk to Ju Qiandai about his heartfelt words.

"Master, you are from the Lingqi Continent. You don't know that samurai are called samurai, and they are the most powerful and powerful people under the royal family, daimyo, fan master, and officials. Bullying, every time I see those noble warriors being admired by the common people, I secretly swear that I must become a warrior, a real warrior!"

Ju Qiandai gritted her teeth and stared brightly.

"Yeah, so why pretend to be a warrior if you want to be one?"

Mo Jinyan was puzzled.

"Master, master, you really don't know anything. Warriors pay attention to blood and family background. What kind of background can I have as an orphan? It's not easy to live up to now. The possibility of someone like me becoming a warrior is zero, so As an apprentice, I can only pretend to be a samurai. Sometimes I don’t pretend to be a good one, so I was spotted and beaten up. In the end, I couldn’t help it. I stole the genealogy from a Genji samurai’s house. From then on, as long as I took out the genealogy, no one would Will question me, of course, with the exception of people who are literate like you, Master."

Mo Jinyan could also tell that even though Ju Qiandai acted perversely like a monkey for a day, he was very pure in his heart. Through the conversation, Mo Jinyan seemed to know a brand new Ju Qiandai.

"It seems that you also enjoy the respect and honor brought by being a warrior?"

Kikuchiyo grinned disdainfully.

"When I was young, I swore secretly that I would become a samurai, but when I grew up, I pretended to be a samurai, and sometimes I could enter the samurai class through my fake identity, and I met a lot of samurai. I found that samurai are hypocritical villains. They are just like ordinary people. They are greedy for life and fear of death. , until now, I sometimes wonder whether I should become a warrior or not. Now I am very contradictory. In fact, I hate hypocritical warriors in my heart, but in order to cheat food and drink, to survive and to be respected, I have to half-heartedly Cover my most hated character..."

Ju Qiandai's face was a little painful, and Mo Jinyan could tell that what Ju Qiandai told him was the truth.

"Actually, the warrior class here is a bit like the monks in our Lingqi Continent. They are all full of benevolence and morality, but they are male thieves and female prostitutes in their stomachs. I suddenly found that you and I are facing the same pain. I never thought that you and I are the same way. Ha ha ha ha."

Mo Jinyan smiled wryly, and actually saw his shadow in Ju Qiandai.

"The entanglement and pain in my heart make me very uncomfortable, but I can't do anything else, I can only continue to appear as a warrior. Don't look at me like a clown, making everyone laugh. In fact, I am also very righteous in my heart. I think a A samurai should do righteous things and protect the people, and the samurai I met were all hypocrites who oppressed the people, so that night at the inn in Shanxing Town, I stood up for the farmer Kazuo Ida and took revenge on that samurai, but in the end Being...fortunately, you have Master..."

Mo Jinyan was fascinated by what he heard, and was stunned for a long time: "I didn't expect that you look like a jerk, but you actually have a chivalrous heart, and you want to protect the peace of the people. This realm is much higher than mine."

"Master, I am an orphan and I came from a poor family. I have experienced too much pain. I don't want to let others experience my pain. I want to become as strong as Master and protect the people. In fact, I am here this time. I also hold this idea, I want to be a real warrior, I want to be a real hero! I want to be like my master!"

"..."

Ju Qiandai's sincere words made Mo Jinyan respectful, but at the same time he was ashamed, and said in a low voice embarrassedly: "Actually, I am not as great and brave as you think, sometimes I just have to, I may not be ashamed I might disappoint you in the end, Kikuchiyo..."

"Master, before I met you, I was a charlatan, but after I met you, Master, you are the goal of my life. You must become the kind of person I want, because you are too important in my heart .”

(May we be able to understand the true meaning of life and work harder to live more wonderfully)
