I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Mainly responsible for handling all kinds of dirty and tiring work.

"I heard that your Kuu were originally ninjas who made a big mistake, right?" Hannosuke asked.

Zhou Taro: "That's right."

"This is where the dirt lives, and we are used to calling it the dirt village."

"The vast majority of Kuu are ex-ninjas who have made big mistakes or failed to accomplish anything, and only waste rice."

"But there are also a small number of Kuu who are not original ninjas."

"Occasionally, we will also bring enemies and their relatives who are against us to this village."

Hannosuke nodded, "I see."

After passing the two young men kneeling on the side of the road, Hannosuke continued to ask:

"The amount of scum is much less than I imagined. I thought I could see a large pile of scum working hard like ants."

"There is a reason why the amount of gou seems to be so small." Zhou Tailang replied, "Lord Balrog plans to expand the scope of the base area, so now most of the gou has been taken to log and open up wasteland."

"That's why there seem to be so few Rus in Ru Village now."

"So that's how it is. Then you don't know how much dirt is in the fire?"

Zhou Taro: "I don't know the exact number, but there should be about a hundred people."

"A hundred people?" Hannosuke smiled wryly, "It's not a small number."

After turning another intersection, Hannosuke and the others saw another "Ku".

This "Gou" is quite old, although his beard and hair are dirty, but it can be seen from the gaps in the dirt that his hair has turned gray.

After seeing Hannosuke and others walking towards his direction, he immediately rushed to the side of the road like the two "Kuu" just now, and then knelt on the ground in the position of Dogeza.

Hannosuke and the others quickly walked past him without even looking at this "Ku".

"There are so many Kuu, you have to manage them well." Hannosuke put on a joking tone, "Most of the Kuu are former ninjas, which means they all retain a certain fighting power."

"If the scales break out in riots, you will be in trouble."

"Hannosuke-sama, don't worry." Zhou Taro smiled disdainfully, "These dirt won't do anything."

"They had shackles on their feet and they couldn't even walk briskly."

"And there are very few Kuu who have the courage to riot."

"Gu broke out into riots, and such a thing has happened before."

"But their riots will soon be quelled by us."

"In the past two years, no one has dared to riot again."

"Probably because we killed all the kind people."

Speaking of this, the disdain and ridicule on Zhou Tailang's face were extremely strong.

Chapter 411 Ogata and Machi's Uncle 【9400 words】

Falling in love with you Kanshu.com, I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Edo, the inn where Ogata and others lived, and the room of A-machi

Ah-ding knelt down in front of a small table.

On the table was Su Ying with the gun chamber opened.

Like swords, muskets are delicate weapons that require frequent maintenance.

As for the maintenance of his own gun, A-cho never slack off.

With his eyes fixed on Su Ying in his hand, the fingers of both hands cleaned some small dirt on Su Ying with skillful movements, and maintained Su Ying.

But gradually, Ah-cho's movements slowed down.

A-Ming's bright eyes also gradually became dumbfounded.

The whole person seems to have entered a fugue state.

However, Ah-ding's fugue state didn't last long, and he was awakened by a male voice outside the door:

"Machi, are you there?"

It was Ogata's voice.

After recovering from the fugue state, A-Machi shivered, and then hurriedly responded:

"I'm here."

After receiving A-Ming's response, Oobi slowly opened the door and stepped into A-Ming's room.

Ogata had just stayed at the "North Wind House" until Chiba's medical results came out.

According to Chiba, Kondo's leg injury was nothing more than a minor injury. After applying his special medicine and resting for a night, he could walk normally the next morning.

After confirming that Kondo was fine, Ogata bid farewell to Kondo and left "North Wind House".

Before leaving, Kondo also asked Shimo Ogata to stay, hoping that Ogata could stay and chat with him more.

Ogata naturally declined Kondo's invitation.

After all, he had to go to work at Yoshihara's at night.

Then in the middle of the night, he had to go on a routine "rat hunt" with Yuan Yi.

In order to appease the frustrated Kondo, Ogata promised Kondo that he would come to visit again when he was free in the future, and then have a good chat.

Because it was still early, Ogata did not go directly to Yoshihara, but went back to the hotel where they were staying.

Entering Ah Ding's room, Ooi saw that Ding was kneeling and sitting in front of the table, maintaining Su Ying.

"You are taking care of Suying." Ogata sat cross-legged beside A-Machi.

"Well. After all, the last maintenance was 4 days ago. Su Ying and Kasumi Nagi will have maintenance every 4 days at the latest."

Speaking of this, Ah Ding paused.

Then he turned his head and cast a sharp gaze at Ogata.

"Let me confirm that you haven't neglected Kasumi's maintenance, have you?"

"I have never been negligent." Under the influence of "the desire to survive", Ogata replied as quickly as possible, "Whether it is Kasumi or my saber, I have never slack in maintaining it. It will be maintained every 3 days."

After hearing what Ogata said, A-Machi withdrew her sharp gaze with a satisfied expression.

"By the way, where did you put that iron cannon I gave you earlier?" Ogata looked around.

"I put it there." A-Ming raised his chin towards the corner of the room.

The iron cannon that Ogata handed over to Ah-Ming lay quietly in a corner of the room, covered with a thin dust-proof cloth.

This iron cannon was naturally obtained by Ogata from the remaining bandits when he and Genichi carried out the first "rat hunt".

The bandit remnants still complacently thought that they could kill Yuan Yi with the power of technology, and announced loudly to Yuan Yi that "the times have changed".

Then Yuanyi proved to him with practical actions: "The times are jumping repeatedly."

In order not to let other people, especially Lin, know that he and Genichi swaggered out late at night every day, Ogata lied that this iron cannon was obtained from a thief who was causing trouble in Yoshiwara after he caught him of.

This iron cannon was naturally handed over to A-Machi, who was good at using firearms.

"Although it is a good thing to have more iron cannons." A-Ming said with a wry smile, "But this type of iron cannon is actually very difficult to use. After firing a shot, it takes a long time to reload a new one. projectile."

"Although the practicality is not very high, it is better than nothing." Ogata also smiled wryly.

"Yeah." Ah-Ming nodded lightly, "You're right."

Having said that, A-Machi turned his gaze back to Su Ying in his hand, and his ten fingers moved nimbly again, continuing to maintain Su Ying quickly and precisely.

On the other hand, Ogata continued to sit cross-legged on the side of A-Machi, staring at A-Machi's face thoughtfully.

A-Machi, who was stared at uncomfortably, turned to look at Ogata again: "Why are you staring at me like that?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that you, A-Ming, seem to be out of spirit recently." Ogata said softly, "You seem to have something on your mind."

Hearing Ogata's words, the expression on Machi's face froze.

Probably before Ogata lurked in Yoshiwara, Ogata vaguely noticed that A-Machi was weird.

Ogata originally thought that this was just a normal phenomenon, after all, it is impossible for normal people to be full of energy every day.

But gradually, Ogata discovered that things did not seem to be simple.

Ah-Ming seemed to have something on his mind.

From time to time in a daze, I don't know what to think.

At this moment, A-cho is also like this. Although Su Ying is carefully maintaining Su Ying in his hand, there is still a listless atmosphere between his eyebrows and eyes.

"If you have anything on your mind, you can tell me." Ogata said softly, "Did you encounter something that made you feel bad during this period?"

"I didn't encounter anything that made me feel bad." There was a touch of helplessness on A-Ming's face.

After being silent for a while, A-Machi said softly:

"I'm just worried about Uncle Qing."

"Uncle Qing?"

After Ogata repeated the name of the person who was somewhat unfamiliar to him.

After only recalling for a moment, Ogata remembered who he was.

After reuniting with A-cho in Kyoto before, when he learned that A-cho had actually become a traitor, A-cho mentioned this person to Ogata.

This is the man who helped Machi escape from Shiranui.

Ogata remembered that Ah-Ming had said that this person was her father's friend.

The relationship with Machi is like that of uncle and nephew.

How close is the relationship?

So Sakura and Kasumi Nagi are the supreme masterpiece of Machi's father.

If people in Shiranui knew that he had built such a weapon, it might cause some trouble, so Acho's father tried his best to hide the existence of these two pistols.

Therefore, at that time, according to A-cho, only A-cho's father, A-cho, and Uncle Kei knew about the existence of these two pistols in Shiranui.

Being trusted by Ah Ding's father in this way shows the relationship between Uncle Qing and A Ding's family.

When Ding left Butterfly Island and was about to go back to Shiranui for business, it was this Uncle Qing who sneaked out of Shiranui and found her before Ding returned to Shiranui and told her that she had been reduced to "filth". of this news.

Not only did he inform A-Machi, but he also brought out A-Machi's two guns, Su Ying and Kasumi Nagi, to help A-Machi prepare for his escape.

It can be said that it is thanks to Uncle Qing that Ah-machi is able to dance like this in front of Ogata.

A-Machi has always seldom talked about her past.

He seldom talks about his previous life in Shiranui.

He rarely talks about his parents.

He seldom talked about Uncle Qing.

Ever since Ogata discovered his rebellious identity in Kyoto and was forced to mention Uncle Qing to Ogata once, A-machi never mentioned Uncle Qing to Ogata again.

As a result, after Ogata heard the name "Uncle Qing" from Ah-Machi's mouth for a long time, he was stunned for a while before realizing who he was.

He is Machi's uncle, so in a way, he is also my uncle.

Ogata thought secretly in his heart.

"I don't know how Uncle Qing is doing now, if only Uncle Qing ran with me back then." A-cho sighed softly.

"Run with you?" Ogata asked suspiciously.

"Yeah." A-Machi nodded.

"At that time, Uncle Qing found me who was about to return to Shiranui, and told me that I had been degraded. At that time, I asked Uncle Qing to run away with me."

"If one day in the future, people in Shiranui find out that it was Uncle Qing who tipped me off, Uncle Qing will definitely have no good fruit to eat."

"It's better to just follow me and run away."

"But was rejected by Uncle Qing"

"He said he had important things to do and he couldn't just leave."
