I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Feeling special about Ogata and Ogata's parents.

In such an environment where most people think that men are superior to women, there is such a special concept.

As Ogata's wife, A-Machi is also happy to see that her husband is a person with such a special idea, and he didn't restrain her with all kinds of messy rules.

After a brief chat with Ogata, A-Machi closed his eyes again, enjoying the feeling of being able to lie on the ground like mud.

A-Machi really likes the feeling of lying on the ground in a "big" shape.

She is in a pretty good mood now.

She didn't support Ogata in the first place, so he went to this small, shabby village to help these farmers.

It's not because A-Ming is ruthless and unwilling to lend a helping hand to those in need.

She was simply worried about Ogata.

In Owari a few months ago, after "being honest with each other" with Ogata and confirming the relationship between husband and wife, A-Machi became a lot timid.

A-Machi hoped that Ogata would not do anything that might bring him danger.

Although she knows that Ogata is very powerful, even if it is a bandit group with hundreds of people, Ogata can also wipe it out.

But no matter how strong it is, fighting with people will always have risks in it.

Therefore, A-machi, who didn't want Ogata to encounter any accidents and get injured, has not been very supportive of Ogata's act of extending a helping hand to the farmers in this village.

Now that the bandits are gone, the big rock in Ah Ding's heart has finally fallen to the ground.

Both she and Ogata were safe and sound, and they also received a large sum of money by accident.

Ogata handed over the money to Ah Ding for safekeeping.

Now the cloth bag containing 31 taels of gold was lying quietly in Ah-ding's arms.

Atachi, who was lying on his back on the ground, could clearly feel the weight of this big bag of money.

After establishing a relationship with Ogata, in addition to becoming timid, A-Machi, like Ogata, began to care about money.

A-cho unconsciously raised his hand and patted the small purse in his arms.

Feeling the heavy purse in his arms, A-Machi suddenly raised his eyebrows as if remembering something, then opened his eyes again, and looked at Ogata beside him.

"Ayi, the reason why you decided to help these farmers is not to get money from bandits?"

This is what A-Machi suddenly thought of just now.

Ogata had a similar criminal record before.

For money, he participated in the "Imperial Trial".

Because he had a similar criminal record before, Ogata felt that "for the sake of money, he decided to go to the bandit to get the money and help those poor farmers by the way", Ogata could really do it.

Hearing this question from A-Machi, Ogata was taken aback for a moment.

Then with a helpless smile, he said:

"You think too much."

"It didn't occur to me to take money from bandits in the first place."

"To get this money now is a complete surprise to me."

"Then why did you decide to help these farmers?" A-Ming asked puzzled, "Could it be because you haven't exercised your muscles for a long time, so you plan to exercise your muscles?"

"Why did you decide to help these farmers?"

After murmuring, Ogata smiled wryly.

Then he hugged Da Shitian in his arms even tighter.

"At that time, when I saw the two farmers who begged us to help them in the Baosheng Sword Gym, for some reason, I suddenly remembered that when I went back to the Sword Gym, I found that the master and brothers were all killed by Matsudaira Gennai That night."

Ogata's tone was calm.

It's like talking about something completely irrelevant to me.

A-cho on the side, after hearing what Ogata said just now, was stunned, and then showed a complicated expression.

"When I saw the way my master and brothers died, I thought it would be great if someone could show up and save them when they were killed."

"If you don't extend a helping hand to the farmers in this village, even if they are not killed by bandits, many people may not be able to survive this winter because their money and food have been looted. It is tantamount to being killed indirectly by these bandits."

"I can quite empathize with relatives and friends being brutally murdered for no reason."

"This kind of pain, I think the fewer people have experienced it, the better."

"So by accident, I decided to do my best to help these farmers who happened to show up in front of me and needed help."

Ogata's tone was calm from beginning to end.

He was obviously talking about his unbearable past, but his expression was flat.

On the other hand, Ah-Ming's expression has been very complicated since just now.

When Ogata had just spoken halfway through, A-Machi had already sat up slowly.

After Ogata's voice fell completely, A-Machi's face was extremely rich, and it was difficult to distinguish the complex expression made of mixed emotions.

She opened her lips, as if she wanted to say something to Ogata.

But after opening his lips, he didn't know what to say in this situation.

Finally, after hesitating and thinking for a while, A-Machi opened his arms and embraced Ogata like a mother bird protecting her young.

Because Ogata was sitting on the left side of Ogata, when Ogata opened his arms to embrace Ogata, Ogata's left arm immediately felt gentle, soft and elastic.

A-Machi's sudden hug made a bit of surprise appear on Ogata's face.

"what happened?"

"When I used to be in a bad mood, my father would hug me like this."

While talking, A-Machi gently patted Ogata with his right hand, this gentle movement was like helping a baby fall asleep.

Ogata couldn't help but smile at Ah-Machi's move.

Ogata's behavior of not knowing what to say to comfort him, and simply taking out the way his father used to comfort him to comfort him, made Ogata feel a little funny, but also a little moved.

"No need to comfort me. I'm not sad."

Reminiscing and retelling the sad and bloody past did not make Ogata feel sad or sad.

After all, it was more than a year ago.

Just recalling that memory will not make Ogata feel any discomfort.

Although Ogata said "you don't need to comfort him", A-Machi didn't seem to want to let Ogata go. Maybe he mistakenly thought that Ogata who said "I don't feel sad" was telling lies to fool her .

Since A-Machi didn't let him go, Ogata didn't say anything anymore, after all, he was also happy to be held by A-Machi.

The body is embraced, and the soft touch feels like the body is about to melt.

In A-Machi's arms, Ogata really felt a little at ease.

Just when Ogata was quietly enjoying the feeling of rafting on the calm lake at night, a young male voice suddenly came from outside the room:

"D-Excuse me! Is Mashima-kun here?"

It was Mizuno's voice.

There is a palpable tension in the voice

Ogata, wondering why Mizuno came to him suddenly, said loudly:

"I'm here."

"May I come in, please?"

Ogata and Machi exchanged glances.

A-Machi nodded, and let go of Ogata in his arms.

"come in."

"Thank you so much!"

Mizuno pushed open the old wooden door and appeared within Ogata's field of vision.

Ogata: "Is something wrong?"

"Mashima-sama! I want to ask you something!"

Mizuno stared straight at Ogata, his eyes were full of fire.

"Ask?" Ogata raised his eyebrows, then raised his hand to scratch his hair, "What do you want to ask? Don't ask me something that is difficult to answer."

"After all, in a while, I will leave with my wife."

"Master Mashima!"

Mizuno said in a loud voice.

"I admire your sword skills!"

"I want to ask you how to improve your swordsmanship!"

The fiery look in his eyes became more intense.

"Master Mashima, how do you usually practice swordsmanship?"

Mizuno knew that Ogata and Machi would be leaving in a while.

So he mustered up his courage, and before Ogata and A-Ming left, he secretly came to Ogata and asked Ogata for advice.

Ogata is a rare great swordsman.

Mizuno, who also pursued swordsmanship, did not want to miss this opportunity to learn from the swordsman.

Hearing Mizuno's question, Ogata froze immediately.

Ogata was not surprised that Mizuno came to ask him how to practice swordsmanship.

He had discovered that Mizuno seemed to admire him a lot, and admired his swordsmanship.

Mizuno's question directly made Ogata difficult

How to practice swordsmanship?

It is impossible for Ogata to tell him directly that I am able to achieve my current strength entirely through the system

After scratching his hair and organizing his words, Ogata said slowly:

"There is no shortcut to the practice of swordsmanship."

"You must be down-to-earth and not too high-spirited."

"If there is any way to quickly improve swordsmanship, it should only be more actual combat."

"Swinging a sword against the air [-] times in the dojo may not bring you as much progress as a hearty actual combat."

"I have reached my current level only by fighting one after another."

After speaking as elegantly as possible, Ogata couldn't help admiring himself.

Because what he said just now is completely true, without any falsehood.

He did rely on one battle after another to become the now famous "Executioner Yidao Zhai" all over the world.

"Is it actual combat?" Mizuno muttered, with a thoughtful look on his face.

At this moment, another voice came from outside the house:

"Master Mashima! Are you there?"

This time, it was the voice of the old village chief.

"I'm here." Ogata responded immediately.

"Can I come in, please? I have something I want to give you."

"Is there something for me? Please come in."

After obtaining the entry permit from Ogata, the old village chief with a rickety body slowly appeared in front of Ogata with the support of several villagers.

After seeing Mizuno and Atachi, the old village chief quickly greeted them.

"Master Mashima, this is for you."
