I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"Ogata? Are you here?" Mamiya let out a sigh of relief, "It seems that I'm lucky... It's not in vain to come all the way here."

After walking out of the tent, Xu conveniently began to look at the two people standing on the left and right sides of the palace.

One of them was dirty and his face was quite ugly. He hadn't bathed for some time, and he hadn't eaten well for some time, except that his clothes were painted with the family crest of the Tokugawa family - "Shamrock pattern" Other than that, there is nothing else worth noting.

Compared with this "savage", the other person standing beside Mamiya made Ogata's pupils shrink slightly in surprise.

The reason why this person can greatly attract Ogata's attention is purely because - this person is too tall.

Converted into the unit of length of the modern earth, the height of this person is about 1 to 8 meters.

Such a height is quite amazing in this era.

He is carrying a big sword in his right hand, and the length of his big sword is about 1 meters.

With just one glance, Xu can easily judge that if this person's strength is not too weak, otherwise this person will be an extremely difficult opponent when fighting against this person.

In close combat, the attack distance can make up for the gap in strength.

Even if your strength is not as good as your opponent's, if your attack distance is far longer than your opponent's, you can still maintain a great advantage in this battle—unless your skills are too bad, or your The opponent is too strong.

A strong man over 1 meters is wielding a 8-meter Otachi—this kind of attack distance is so large that Ogata's scalp feels numb just by imagining it.

And when Ogata was looking at this strong man, this strong man was also looking at Ogata.

"Hi, Mamiya."

The strong man asked Jian Gong.

"You just called this person Ogata. Could it be that this person is Ogata Yishi, and also the person you have been looking for since you landed on the island?"

"That's right. What? Do you know Ogata, Makimura?"

"Of course I do!" The burly man grinned, "Ogata Yishi was my 'neighbor' when I was in prison!"

After that, the strong man turned to Ogata and shouted:

"Hey! Brother Ogata! Remember me?"

"You are..." A look of surprise gradually appeared on Ogata's face, "Is it Yahachi Makimura?"

"It seems that you still remember me." This strong man——Makimura Yahachi laughed a few times, "What a coincidence. I didn't expect that the person you are looking for, Mamiya, is Brother Ogata. "

"It turns out that you two know each other..." A faint look of helplessness appeared on Jiangong's face, "But that's good too, and it saves me trouble, so I don't need to introduce myself to you two anymore."

At this time, A-Ming cautiously parted the curtain of the tent with both hands, poked his head out of the tent, and observed the movement outside the tent.

"Ayi..." Ah Ding looked at Mamiya and the others with a cautious attitude, "Are these people really your friends...?"

"A friend or something... It might not be considered an enemy, but it's not an enemy. Come out, Machi."

Hearing what Ogata said, A-Machi stopped being suspicious, stepped out of the camp slowly, and stood behind Ogata.

After A-Machi appeared, Mucun raised his eyebrows, and then said in a half-joking tone:

"Brother Ogata, I didn't expect you to be accompanied by a beautiful woman! I'm so envious!"

"Not like me."

Makimura let out a long sigh.

"I'm only surrounded by a stinky man who would rudely ask me to correct my fear of the cold."

"I don't think you, who don't even care about your beard, have the right to call me a 'smelly man'."

After replying to Mucun in a calm tone, Mamiya turned his gaze back to Ogata.

"Ogata-kun, I have a lot of questions to ask you."

The smile on Mamiya's face was intriguing.

"Me too. I also have a lot of questions to ask you."

The smile on Ogata's face was also intriguing.

Chapter 206 Calabash House

"Although there are as many questions as there are mountains, let's ask them one by one slowly." Ogata said softly, "Mamiya, tell me first—why are you here? Did you break in here by accident? "

"That's not true." Mamiya raised his hand and patted the "savage" beside him on the shoulder, "He brought me here. He was sent to this island by the shogunate to conduct research on ogres one of the doctors."

"My name is Matsumoto Kiyohito." After Mamiya's voice fell, the "savage" began to introduce himself, "3 months ago, I was in this camp, following the order of the shogunate with other companions , to start research on ogres here."

As soon as Matsumoto Kiyohito finished speaking, Ogata and A-Machi immediately cast curious glances at him.

"Are you one of the researchers of the shogunate?" Ogata raised his eyebrows, "Didn't all of you researchers leave this island?"

"All should have left." Matsumoto said while closing his eyes in pain, "But... when we left this camp and went to the coast, we were attacked by ogres..."

"The ogre's attack came too suddenly, our team was directly dispersed..."

"Some people managed to board the boat and leave the island."

"There are also some people...like me, because they broke away from the team, they were stranded on this island..."

"I have been wandering on this island until now...until...last night I ran into Mr. Mamiya and Mr. Mucun."

As soon as Matsumoto finished speaking, Mamiya answered:

"After learning that Matsumoto was originally a researcher of the shogunate, I asked him to take the two of us here to see if there is anything of value in the resident abandoned by the researchers of the shogunate. .”

Speaking of this, Mamiya looked around and added:

"But now it seems... this resident is really deserted... there is nothing but rubbish."

"Master Mamiya..." Matsumoto showed a wry smile, "I said it a long time ago... We evacuated very cleanly, there is nothing but garbage here..."

"You can't say that." Ogata, who had been silent since just now, interrupted at this moment, "There is still something of value here."

After finishing speaking, Ogata threw the diary that he stuffed in his arms to Mamiya and the others.

"This is the diary I just found in this tent behind me."

"It seems to be written by a researcher. It roughly describes some things that happened during the period from landing on the island to leaving the island."

After receiving the diary thrown by Ogata, Mamiya and Mucun immediately read it at a glance.

Mucun is taller than Jiangong, so he only needs to tilt his head to see the diary in Jiangong's hand.

After briefly reading the diary, Mamiya handed the diary to Matsumoto.

Matsumoto flipped through it more roughly than Mamiya, and after taking over, he quickly flipped through it, checking it hastily.

After closing the diary, Matsumoto sighed lightly:

"It's the diary written by that guy Yamamoto... that guy usually

Chapter 207 Calabash House

"Zong Hai, the three people behind me... are all people I know."

Ogata smiled wryly at Zonghai.

"Sorry, Zonghai, can you let Tenmanji stay with 3 more people?"

Zong Hai glanced at Mamiya, Mucun and Matsumoto.

"...All right." After sighing lightly, Zong Hai nodded with a wry smile, "Anyway, the small temple has a lot of food, so it doesn't matter if there are three more people. Four benefactors, please come in."

Zonghai led the Ogata five people through the gate of Tenmanji Temple and into the Buddhist hall of Tenmanji Temple.

Mamiya glanced at Fudo Myoko enshrined in the Buddhist hall, raised his eyebrows, and then asked Zonghai who was leading the way:

"You actually enshrine Lord Fudo Ming, are you a member of Tian Xiangzong?"

"Oh?" Zong Hai turned his head and cast a surprised look at Mamiya behind him, "This benefactor, you actually recognize me, Tian Xiangzong? Did Master Ogata and Ms. Ating tell you?"

"No, they didn't tell you which sect your temple belongs to. I just recognized the monk from the Tianxiang sect under my feet simply from the Buddha statue enshrined in the temple."

"I have studied some Buddhism in Nara, so I know that the sect that only enshrines Fudo Myoko in the Buddhist hall is the Tenko sect."

"Haha." Zong Hai chuckled a few times, "What a surprise...I didn't expect that all the guests who came for two days in a row would recognize me, Tian Xiangzong."

Mamiya recognized his sect - which seemed to please Zonghai very much.

Ogata clearly felt that Zonghai's attitude towards the new guests, Mamiya and Mucun, was more cordial.

……

……

Ogata and the others came back quite in time.

When they came back, Zong Hai and Xian Hai were preparing to make dinner tonight.

After Zong Hai asked Xian Hai to bring out more rice, he ran to the well and fetched some more water for cooking tonight.

After Zong Hai fetched a bucket of well water from the well with a bucket, when he was about to move it to the back hall, he suddenly found that Ogata was standing behind him at an unknown time.

"Benefactor." Zong Hai smiled slightly at Xufang, "Are you here to drink water?"

"... Zong Hai." Ogata, who was expressionless, did not answer Zong Hai's words just now, but asked Zong Hai, "I ask you—you really...have everything you know Did you tell us?"

"Benefactor, why did you mention this?" Zong Hai smiled wryly, "It's absolutely true, the little monk really told you all the things he knows."

"...Just tell us everything." Ogata said softly with his face still expressionless, "If you have anything else that you forgot to tell us, if you remember it, please tell us in time."

When he said the word "timely", Ogata emphasized his tone, which made the tone of his whole sentence quite strange.

"Young monk will." Zong Hai still had that warm smile on his face, "If you think of any important information, little monk, I will tell you in time. Let's go, benefactor, let's go back to the back hall to cook together. There are a lot of guests today, and I need you to help."

"……Um."

……

……

Tonight's Tianmanji Temple is extremely lively, and there is not room for so many people to sit next to the pot.

There was also a small disturbance during today's dinner, and that was - Kiyohito Matsumoto burst into tears while eating the vegetable porridge.

Matsumoto Kiyohito said that he hadn't eaten such hot food for a long time, and couldn't help but shed tears from excitement and happiness.

After simply finishing today's dinner and Xianhai started to clean up everyone's dishes, Ogata picked up his knife and stood up while winking at Mamiya.

Facing the look that Ogata gave, Mamiya nodded understandingly, and then also picked up his sword and got up.

"Zonghai." Ogata asked Zonghai, "Can you lend us a room? I... want to chat with these friends of mine."

"No problem." Zong Hai said without thinking, "You can just use the guest room I lent you and the benefactor yesterday."

"Thank you so much. Ding, let's go." Ogata raised his chin at Ding.

"it is good."

"Makimura." Jian Gong also raised his chin towards Mucun, "Let's go, the two of us go to have a good chat with Ogata-kun."

"If you have something to talk to Ogata, just go by yourself." Mucun cast an unhappy look at Mamiya, "Why are you pulling me? I don't have anything to talk to Ogata."

"No, no, you'd better come and listen to what I want to talk to Ogata-kun. Be obedient and follow me obediently."

"Oh...you are so troublesome..." After sighing, Mucun reluctantly grabbed his big sword and followed Mamiya out of the restaurant.

The originally bustling restaurant suddenly became deserted because of the departure of the four Ogata.

Only Xianhai who cleaned up the dishes, Zonghai who cleaned up the pot, and Matsumoto who sat there blankly, not knowing what to do next, were left.

"This benefactor." Zong Hai smiled slightly at Matsumoto, "We have a bathroom here. If the benefactor doesn't mind, you can use our bathroom to wash your body."

"Huh? Can you really lend me the bathroom?" Matsumoto asked anxiously.

"of course."

After finishing speaking, Zong Hai looked at Xian Hai beside him.

"Xianhai, after washing the dishes, help this benefactor prepare some hot water for washing his body."

"Yes."

"I'm so grateful!" Matsumoto's eyes overflowed with tears of excitement again, and he lay down on the ground, doing dochiza to Zonghai and Xianhai.

Secretly feeling: I am really happy today, not only eating the long-lost hot food, but also taking the long-lost hot bath.
