I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

So in order to avoid trouble, Tai Fu lied and said that he was kidnapped by human traffickers.

The trafficker climbed over the window, climbed into her room, kidnapped her, and then saw the opportunity to escape.

Tai Fu is the cash cow of Jianmei House.

The money tree that suddenly disappeared suddenly returned, and the owner of Meiwu was naturally ecstatic to see it.

After the husband came back, the owner of Meiwu first gave the husband a long vacation, so that the husband could have a good rest and calm his mind.

Then a very powerful doctor was invited to give Taifu a full body examination.

In the end, he spent a lot of money to hire new guards.

The husband's disappearance this time really scared half of the souls of Meiwu's owner.

In order not to repeat the same mistakes, the owner of Jianmei House decided to comprehensively strengthen the defense force of Jianmei House.

Avoid the situation where the wandering girl is kidnapped again.

After learning that Taifu is also like Guasheng, and his life is slowly returning to the right track, Ogata let out a sigh of relief, and another stone that was hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.

"Master Ogata, your injury really recovered very quickly."

Guasheng looked Ogata up and down several times, and then said:

"You obviously couldn't walk steadily a few days ago."

"It's all back to normal now."

"How do you feel today? Shouldn't you feel suddenly tired like before?"

The "sudden feeling of fatigue" that Guasheng refers to naturally refers to the incident when Ogata passed out because his body absorbed the "immortal poison" for the second time.

Guasheng also came to visit Ogata that day.

But when Guasheng came to visit Ogata, Ogata happened to be in a coma.

Ogata, who suddenly passed out, was also taken aback.

Afterwards, when I learned that Ogata woke up and his body was fine, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"There is no serious problem." Ogata nodded, "I am no longer in a coma, and the injuries on my body are recovering well."

"That's good." Gua Sheng let out a sigh of relief, showing a reassuring expression.

But at the next moment when he showed a reassuring expression, Gua Sheng's eyes slowly showed a touch of disappointment.

"Master Ogata, I just heard about it from Mamiya-san."

Gua Sheng said softly.

"You're leaving Edo in a few days, right?"

After the look of disappointment slowly appeared in his eyes, the expression on Gua Sheng's face also slowly changed.

A few days ago, that is when Ogata decided to leave for Ezo after the wound on his body healed.Ogata also informed Guasheng of his plan.

So Gua Sheng also knew about it.Knowing that Ogata recovered from his injury, he left for Ezodi.

However, Ogata naturally concealed the real reason for going to Ezo from Guasheng.

Guasheng's expression at this time was almost exactly the same as Kondo's expression just now.

Ogata has never been good at dealing with people with such expressions

After sighing lightly, Ogata smiled at Guasheng and said:

"I haven't decided on when I'm going to leave."

"I'm not leaving right away."

"So you can come to me more these days, I'm always here."

"Yeah." Gua Sheng squeezed out a smile.

The smile on Guasheng's face was the same as the smile that Ogata saw on Kondo's face just now, showing more disappointment than joy.

Late night

The moon was fading in the west, and was about to sink into the dark clouds that hung like a torn curtain over the distant mountains.

Except for the sound of the night wind blowing outside the window from time to time, and the even breathing of himself and A-Machi, Ogata could not hear any unnecessary sounds.

During this time, Ogata has been having trouble falling asleep.

Not because of Ogata's insomnia or anything.

Although no wounds on Ogata's body were hurting anymore, when he touched some wounds on his body, he still felt a tingling sensation.

Ogata has always liked to sleep on his side.

But sleeping on your side can easily press on some wounds on your upper body, so these days Ogata can only sleep lying down with his face facing the ceiling.

But Ogata is not used to this sleeping position, so it takes a long time every night to slowly fall asleep.

It was the same tonight, maintaining this sleeping position that I was not used to, and after lying on the futon for an unknown amount of time, I finally entered a half-asleep, half-awake, dazed state.

After a while, you should be able to fall asleep smoothly.

But at this moment, Ogata suddenly heard a rustling sound from the bed beside him.

If it wasn't for the fact that Ogata hadn't fallen asleep completely yet, the strange noise might not have been audible.

Machi?

Waking up from a half-asleep state, Ogata opened his eyes a little, and glanced at Machi who came out of the bed beside him.

As soon as A-Machi got out of the bed, he cast his eyes on Ogata, and looked at Ogata seriously, as if he wanted to check whether he had woken Ogata just now.

After Ogata found that A-Ming was looking at him, he immediately closed his slightly opened eyes, pretending to be still asleep.

A-Machi, who didn't realize that Ogata had woken up, turned his eyes away from Ogata's body, then stood up straight, and began to take off the white bathrobe on his body.

Ogata didn't dare to open his eyes because he didn't know if A-Machi was looking at him now, and continued to close them tightly.

A-Machi took off his white yukata, changed into an ordinary kimono, and tiptoed out of the room.

Ogata opened his eyes only after hearing the sound of A-Machi's footsteps leaving the room.

It's so late, what is she going to do?

Ogata looked at the white bathrobe that A-Machi had just replaced, and frowned slightly uncontrollably.

Originally, Ogata thought that Ah-cho should go to the toilet, but now it seems that it is not.

After all, if you just go to the toilet, you don't need to change clothes at all.

Driven by doubt and curiosity, Ogata decided to follow the past to have a look.

Because there was no time to change clothes, Ogata simply did not change clothes. He put on the black bathrobe he was wearing now, picked up Da Shitian and Da Zizai that were placed on the knife holder next to him, and quickly left the room, following closely Behind Ah-machi.

After A-Ming left the room, he quickly went down to the first floor and ran to the door of the house.

After pulling on her straw sandals, the white and tender feet without socks rushed out of the room.

Seeing this, Ogata became even more puzzled.

I don't understand why Ah Ding went out in the middle of the night.

Unable to figure out why, Ogata could only silently follow behind A-cho.

It's about 3 o'clock in the morning now.

In Edo at this point in time, there were not even a single wild dog on the streets.

Machi trotted along the unimpeded streets.

The weather is cloudy tonight, and the moonlight is covered by layers of "black clouds" that are dyed black by the night.

Ogata was very thankful that the kimono that Amachi was wearing now was light yellow.

Even without the illumination of the moonlight, Ogata could still see the conspicuous yellow.

Soon, Ah-machi came to a place that Ogata was very familiar with.

Because of this place, Ogata and A-machi had just been here during the day today.

It is the "sacred tree" that is said to have divine nature recommended by the owner of the tea house today.

A-Machi stood in front of the big tree, looked up at the big tree, and at the same time adjusted his breathing disordered by the trotting all the way just now.

Ogata, who was lurking not far away, had an unconcealable surprise on his face.

Ogata never expected that A-cho, who suddenly went out in the middle of the night, would come here specifically to find this "sacred tree".

What does A-Ming want to do?Want to imitate the girl in that story and make a wish on this "sacred tree"?

Ogata couldn't help but recall the wish that "she wants to lose weight" that A-Machi told him today.

She came here in the middle of the night, maybe she came to make a wish to "Shenmu" and want to lose weight?

Thinking of this, Ogata couldn't help feeling secretly amused, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.

It's just that the smile on Ogata's face froze the moment Ah-Ming spoke.

After his breathing calmed down a bit, A-Machi took a deep breath.

After slowly exhaling the inhaled air, a wry smile appeared on A-Machi's face.

"The girl in that story was wearing Bai Wugou and made a wish to the Shenmu, and the wish came true."

"I don't have Bai Wugou and I don't know if the wish I made to the Shenmu will work."

After uttering this bitter murmur, A-Machi faced the big tree, bowed twice, and then knelt down on the ground.

While kneeling, put your hands together and keep your eyes closed.

"Shenmu, please listen to my wish."

There was silence all around, and Ogata's soft voice came into Ogata's ears clearly.

"The first time I met that person was on the island called Butterfly Island."

"The opportunity to get acquainted with him was that I took the initiative to find him and invited him to form a team with me."

"The reason why I took the initiative to find him to form a team is actually to use him."

"Because I recognized him as the famous executioner Yi Dao Zhai at that time, so I felt that forming a team with such a strong person would be of great benefit to completing the task assigned to me by the Balrog."

"I just wanted to use him simply"

"But unconsciously, I started to have a good impression of him."

"Not long after I got acquainted with him, I saw him covered in bruises."

"The battle with the demon monk nearly killed him."

"That was the first time I saw him bruised"

"Afterwards, I parted ways with him briefly for a while."

"Maybe it's really fate. Not long after we parted, we reunited with him in Kyoto."

"Not long after the reunion in Kyoto, he was involved in a conspiracy with the ultimate goal of destroying Kyoto."

"He had to fight all kinds of masters, and finally got himself covered in injuries again."

"That was the second time I saw him bruised"

"During those days, I was the most helpless time"

"I'm afraid of the pursuers in Shiranui."

"I was afraid that I would be caught back, and then I would be tortured out of shape"

"It was he who extended a helping hand to me who was helpless at the time."

"It was probably at that time that I fell in love with him who was willing to lend a helping hand to me."

"Then, we came to Edo again."

"After the decisive battle with Shiranui, he became a blood man again"

"This is the third time I've seen him bruised."

"At that time, when he said that he was going to deal with Shintaro, I really wanted to hold him back and tell him not to go."

"Shuntaro is very strong, I don't want him to fight against such a strong enemy, and then get himself injured all over again"
