I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Aiyaka nodded, and then translated Ogata's question to grandma, and after nodding, grandma quickly answered in Ainu.

"She said: Everyone's possessed god looks different."

Aiyaka translated sentence by sentence.

"Your possessed god is in the shape of flames."

"She has seen the possessed god in the shape of flames before."

"But the flame behind you is obviously different from other people. The intensity of the fire alone is completely different from the rest of the possessed gods who also have the shape of flames."

"The raging fire behind you gathers into a column of fire that soars into the sky."

"You are the first person to reach this level of fire."

"Fire can bring destruction as well as warmth."

"Only those who are resolute, brave, yet gentle and compassionate will have a flame-shaped possessed god."

"That's why a man who possesses a god in the shape of a flame is basically one of the best men in a hundred."

"There should be no second person with your fire power."

"Her granddaughter happens to be of marriageable age."

"So she very much wants an excellent man like you to be her grandson-in-law."

"You shouldn't be much older than her granddaughter. It's a good pair."

After quietly listening to Aiyaka's translation, Ogata really wanted to find a mirror so that he could see his expression now

Ogata had heard this type of news many times in his previous life: Some elders frantically sold their children to other people because they were worried that their children would not be able to find a good partner.

Ogata did not expect that after traveling to the Edo period, he would encounter similar things and he was one of the protagonists of this incident

However, when he learned from the old woman that he possessed such a powerful possessing spirit, Ogata was surprised, but also felt a little joy.

Feeling like winning a lottery ticket worth 1 million yuan, Ogata's right hand unconsciously touched the back of his neck again.

Being praised and admired so much, if Ogata said he didn't feel a little bit happy and flattered, it would be a lie.

It's just that I am happy, but Ogata still didn't even think or hesitate, so he bowed lightly to the old woman, and then said seriously:

"Thank you for your kindness. I am very happy to be appreciated so much by you. But I am already a married man. This girl is my wife. I can no longer be your grandson-in-law."

And me and your granddaughter are not suitable at all in terms of age

After finishing speaking, Ogata silently added such a sentence in his heart, but he didn't say what he said.

According to what the old woman said just now, her granddaughter just celebrated her 14th birthday, but Ogata is 22 years old this year.

Although from the outside, Ogata does not seem to be much older than her granddaughter named Ashley, but in fact Ogata is 8 years older than her granddaughter.

As soon as Ogata's words fell, A-Machi seemed to take an oath of sovereignty, and hugged Ogata's right arm in his arms very well in line with what Ogata said just now.

Ah-Ming seems to be a little agitated right now.

Eager to swear her sovereignty, she held Ogata's right hand in her arms too hard, and Ogata's arm was directly stuck in the valley of Amachi.

The soft touch and the amazing elasticity that seemed to bounce off Ogata's arm continued to spread to Ogata's right arm.

However, because he has long been used to this kind of touch, his facial expressions remain the same.

The three girls except for Ahili noticed Ogata's arm trapped in the valley.

Although they tried their best to hide it, they couldn't help but cast a faint look of envy and jealousy towards the mountain of Amachi

After listening to Ogata's translation, the old woman's face showed a very obvious look of disappointment.

After sighing heavily, he looked at Ogata's appearance with eyes full of regret, as if looking at a pile of huge treasures that had been lost.

Although the "accident of recruiting relatives" happened suddenly, after Ogata told the old woman that he was married and had a family, the incident passed so naturally.

Afterwards, Ogata very smoothly asked Ashley and his family, as well as Ashley's three friends wearing red, purple, and blue headbands, for clues to Xuanzheng and Xuanzhen.

The result was very unfavorable. None of them had ever seen a couple whose appearance matched the characteristics of Xuanzheng and Xuanzhen.

By the way, the girl named Ashley probably hasn't recovered from the "marriage-seeking incident" just now, the blush on her face has never subsided, and she has never dared to look at Ogata's face openly.

He only dared to lower his head and look at Ogata with an upward glance.

And after asking about the serious matter of "Xuanzheng, clues to Xuanzhen's whereabouts", A-cho, who is quite interested in things like possessed gods, asked the old woman what her possessed gods look like.

The old lady took a serious look at Ah Ding's back, and then said, "Your possessed god has the shape of a cat."

According to the old lady, generally only women have cat-shaped possessed gods.

Girls with cat-shaped possessed gods have a character that will never obey others, and will be very loyal to their own ideas, and will not be easily disturbed by the outside world.

Moreover, the girl who possesses a god in the shape of a cat will basically not look ugly.

After listening to Aiyaka's translation of the explanation of the cat-shaped possessed god, Ogata felt that the old woman seemed to have some skills.

What she said just now is indeed very similar to Ah-Ming's character.

Atachi has always been a person who is very loyal to her own ideas. In Shiranui, even though the rest of Shiranui looked down on firearms, she still devoted herself to studying firearms.

It is precisely because she will never obey others' orders that she defected to Shiranui, instead of obediently returning to Shiranui.

Ogata has always felt that cats are very suitable for A-Machi.

I can't say why, but Ogata just thinks that Machi and cats are very suitable.

When he learned that his possessed god had the shape of a cat, A-Machi also showed a happy expression.

Although A-Machi prefers dogs to cats, she doesn't dislike cute cats.

The cat-shaped possessed god Ah Ding thought it was alright, and according to the old lady's explanation, her possessed god was not a terrible possessed god.

This also made A-Ming heave a sigh of relief.

And she's pretty scared of the old lady telling her that her possessed god is in the shape of a caterpillar or something nasty

All that should be asked and wanted to be asked have been asked.There is no longer any reason to stay here.

The light that came in through the window was already very dim.

Oo winked at Aiyaka, let's go.

Aiyaka, who understood Ogata's wink, nodded.

Just when Aiyaka was about to say that they wanted to say goodbye

"Hi! Is anyone there? Ainu"

Suddenly there was a shout outside the house.

Ogata and A-Machi didn't understand, so their faces were blank.

But Aiyaka, Yaxili and others showed doubts on their faces.

Ahili's mother got up quickly, ran to the door, and opened the straw curtain that was used as the door.

Standing outside the curtain was a middle-aged strong man.

After the middle-aged strong man quickly said something to Ahili's mother, Ahili's mother's expression changed.

After the middle-aged strong man finished talking to Ashley's mother, he left quickly.

After placing the straw curtain blocking the doorway, Ahili's mother quickly returned to the place where she was sitting just now, and then said something to Aiyaka and others present in Ainu language.

As soon as Ahili's mother's voice fell, Aiyaka and the others changed their expressions as suddenly as Ahili's mother did just now.

"What happened?" Ogata asked Aiyaka.

"It's related to Skulucci." Aiyaka said in a deep voice.

Aiyaka told Ahili's mother, to be precise, what Ahili's mother had just heard from the middle-aged strong man.

It turned out that Skulucci, who had suddenly visited the village of China, had come to report the news.

Skulucci told the village chief of China Village that a group of Cossacks planned to plunder everywhere, and that China Village might be one of the targets, so he asked the village chief of China Village to prepare early.

The middle-aged strong man just now came to tell Ashley and his family to pay attention to safety in the future and be ready to meet the enemy with a bow at any time.

And when you want to go out of the village to hunt or do other things later, you must also pay attention to safety.

At the end, Aiyaka said in a deep voice:

"It's troublesome. If there are really a group of white-skinned foreigners planning to rob everywhere, then it is necessary to go back to Kuma Village and tell the people in the village to pay attention to safety."

When he learned that a group of Cossacks planned to loot everywhere, Ogata couldn't help but frowned slightly in surprise.

At this moment, Ogata heard the girl with a red headband sitting not far away say in an excited tone:

"Huh! If there are really a group of foreigners who don't know what to do and plan to rob our village, then we will let them see how powerful we are! Ainu language"

After all, the girl with the red headband made a posture of drawing a bow and shooting an arrow.

"When the gold diggers planned to rob our village last year, I didn't shoot a single enemy!" said the girl with the purple headband in Ainu, "If there are really a group of foreigners planning to rob our village, I will definitely kill them this time." Shoot down even one enemy! Ainu"

After all, the girl with the purple headband showed a eager expression.

"It would be great if a group of strangers came to rob our village! Ainu language," said the girl with the blue headband this time. Everyone knows that although there are more women than men in our village, they are not easy to mess with! Ainu"

Among the four young girls in their prime, only Ahili, who was wearing an orange headband, looked slightly worried and said nothing.

Although Ogata couldn't understand what the three girls were talking about.

But just by looking at their movements and expressions, Ogata can roughly guess what they said just now.

Looking at the three girls, Ogata narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Ogata and the others wanted to say goodbye and leave just now.

But because of the sudden interruption of the middle-aged man who came to report, their farewell was interrupted.

Aiyaka picked up the farewell sentence again, and told Ahili and others that they planned to leave first.

Ahili's mother said some symbolic words of "staying for dinner together", but Aiyakati Ogata and the others politely rejected them.

Ogata and the others stood up and walked towards the door of the house.

Just as he was about to leave the house along the door, Ogata suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Before Aiyaka and Atachi had time to ask what happened to Ogata, Ogata said to Aiyaka:

"Aiyaka, I have something to say to my mother-in-law."

"Can you translate for me?"

"What are you talking about?" Aiyaka asked back.

"Just a simple sentence."

Ogata cleared his throat.

"Tell them for me: don't underestimate white-skinned foreigners, they are quite powerful, and they are not easy opponents."

"The weapons used by the white-skinned foreigners are long tubular weapons. They can hit farther than bows and arrows, and they are more powerful than bows and arrows. If you really fight with them, don't be careless."

After hearing Ogata's words, Aiyaka was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and then translated Ogata's words to Ahili and the others.

Ashley and the others focused their eyes on Ogata with different emotions.

In the end, it was the old lady who spoke first, expressing her gratitude to Ogata for his suggestion.

After leaving this reminder to Ashley and the others, Xuren stopped listening and left, and walked out of the room quickly.

After leaving Ashley's room, Ogata couldn't help but look back at the room behind him.

Then he sighed softly.

Although he couldn't understand what the girls said just now, he could roughly guess from their actions and tone that they were probably eager to try.

I think there is nothing to be afraid of the Cossacks who may attack. They are as easy to deal with as the gang of gold diggers who attacked last year, so I feel that this time they will definitely show their talents again, so that these raiders and people in other villages will be good. Look how powerful they are in China Village.

Their civilization level is still in the tribal civilization, and their lives are quite closed, so most of them don't know how powerful the muskets used by those white-skinned foreigners in their mouths are.

They don't know, but Ogata is very clear.

Early muskets were indeed inferior to bows and arrows.

But times have changed.

Firearms have evolved rapidly, and now a Kentucky long rifle has been born that can accurately kill targets hundreds of meters away if used by a master.

And this kind of rifle, according to what Vasili said before, has been installed on a small scale among the Cossacks.
