I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"It's a good thing you didn't disappoint me."

After finishing speaking, Amachi cast a complimenting look at Ogata.

Ogata smiled, and then began to pull the scarf around his neck.

"Go ahead and take a shower."

"I'm going to see Scruucci in the afternoon."

"You can't go to see people in a smelly way."

Pulling off the scarf and opening the skirt, Ogata revealed his muscular upper body covered with dried blood and sweat. .

One advantage of ancient Japanese men's clothes is that it is very convenient to take off the clothes.

Pull the skirt to the sides to take off the clothes.

"Don't you take off your clothes underneath?" A-Machi looked at Ogata's lower body which was still wearing clothes.

"Don't worry." Ogata said, "First wash the upper body and then the lower body. Anyway, my current set of clothes will be washed later. And now it's such a cold day, I will wash all the clothes on my body in one go. It’s going to be cold if you’re all naked.”

"That's right."

A-Machi nodded, and then took a basin filled with hot and cold water placed not far away.

After putting a little cold water into the hot water to make it warm, Machi soaked a towel in warm water and began to help Ogata scrub his body.

A-Ming knelt behind Ogata and scrubbed Ogata's back first.

Ogata was not idle either.

After A-Machi wiped his back, Ogata picked up another clean towel and scrubbed his front.

Body scrubbing is also a rather boring, dry affair.

In order to pass this boring time, Ogata opened his personal system interface, checked his current status, and checked his level and various experience bars after the battle last night.

……

The number of Cossacks who fell under Ogata's sword last night was between 30 and 40.

Killing so many enemies also gave Ogata a lot of experience points for each experience bar.

The personal level has increased by nearly 4000 experience points, Sakakibara's one-sword style has more than 1000 points, Wuwo's ​​two-sword style has nearly 3000 points, and Shiranui Ninjutsu has a few hundred points.

Although he has gained a lot of experience points, it is very difficult to upgrade because Ogata's current level is too high.

So after the battle yesterday, neither Ogata's personal level nor his martial skills have been upgraded.

However, although it has not been upgraded, the distance between the personal level and Wuwo Two Swords is only a step away from the upgrade.

After Ogata finished checking his personal system interface, A-Machi happened to help Ogata wipe his back.

"I feel that those wild boars who run in the forest every day are cleaner than you now..."

While complaining about Ogata's filthy appearance, Machi dipped the towel that had just been wiped off Ogata's back into the basin.

As soon as the towel was soaked in the basin, the clean and transparent water in the basin instantly became turbid, so dirty that even the bottom could hardly be seen clearly.

After washing Ogata's back, A-Machi kneeled in front of Ogata and began to scrub his front with Ogata.

"Why are you wiping so slowly?"

A-Machi said angrily.

"I finished wiping your back and you just wiped your arms."

Ogata had focused all his attention on checking his personal system interface just now, so the action of scrubbing his body would naturally slow down unconsciously.

"Don't look at me like this. I am also a very delicate person occasionally." Ogata spoke nonsense seriously for the sake of Tangsai A-Ting, "Wipe slowly, and you can wipe cleaner."

"This kind of statement is not convincing at all from you who are always too lazy to wash a loincloth."

After all, Machi showed a rather unhappy expression as if recalling some unpleasant memories.

When he left Edo with Ogata and went to Ezo, Ogata would wash his own clothes by himself.

But gradually, Ogata became more and more lazy.

Just like the vast majority of couples, when they first got married, they still respected each other as guests. After a period of time after marriage, because the two had gotten along well, they gradually became "easy-going" towards their partners.

Ogata, who is becoming more and more lazy to wash his own clothes, now basically throws his clothes to A-Machi for washing, including the loincloth.

The so-called loincloth can be understood as male underwear in this era.

Ogata, who realized that he was wrong, silently lowered his head, looked at his nose and heart, and no longer dared to speak.

Ah-machi's movements were swift.

In just a while, she had already cleaned the right half of Ogata's body, and began to scrub the left half of Ogata's body.

After the towel soaked in warm water touched Ogata's large dark purple skin that spread from his left neck to his left chest, A-Machi froze suddenly.

"...Is it my illusion..."

A-Machi murmured in a low voice, then raised his hand to caress the "deep purple" patch on Ogata's body that spread from his left neck to his left chest.

"You didn't seem to be purple before here."

Machi poked a small piece of skin just below Ogata's left collarbone with his finger.

Ogata, who was slightly startled when he heard what Ah-cho said, hurriedly lowered his head to look at the place where Ah-cho poked.

"Is there? Didn't this place turn purple before?"

Ogata usually doesn't pay much attention to this large piece of purple skin on his body.

He himself doesn't quite remember whether the skin that A-Ming is poking now has turned purple a long time ago.

Even if it turns purple again recently, it must be only a small amount of skin discoloration.

If it is a large area of ​​skin discoloration, even Ogata, who usually doesn't pay much attention to his dark purple skin, can definitely notice this change.

"Really..." A-Machi muttered in a low voice, "But I remember that the skin here was normal before..."

Speaking of this, Ah Ding paused.

Then, although he tried his best to suppress it, he still whispered in a worried tone:

"This immortality poison...could it start to spread again..."

"...Don't think too much." Ogata said softly to A-Ming, "Now we just need to follow the steps to find Xuanzheng and Xuanzhen."

Despite Ogata's relief, A-Machi couldn't help casting a worried look at the large purple skin on Ogata's left neck.

"Where are Xuanzheng and Xuanzhen..." After sighing heavily, A-Ming continued to help Ogata scrub his body.

"...A-Machi, don't worry." After being silent for a while, Ogata smiled at A-Machi, "My luck is always very good in critical moments."

"My strong luck has saved me in distress countless times, and it has also allowed me to meet the most suitable people at the most suitable juncture countless times."

"So relax. We will definitely find Xuanzheng and Xuanzhen."

A-Machi seemed to be amused by Ogata's words just now, with a smile on his face: "You are so optimistic. I have to learn from your optimistic personality."

After finishing speaking, A-Machi stopped talking and concentrated on wiping Ogata's body with a towel.

……

……

As soon as Chepke came out of Ogata's house, he ran into Manaker.

After seeing Chepke, Manaker immediately went up to him, and then asked Chepke:

"How about it, Chepke?"

Chepke shook his head, and answered Manaker with gestures.

"That's it..." Manaker smiled helplessly, "But this is also normal. After all, he is a friendly person, and his living habits are completely different from our Ainu people."

"If he is willing to stay in our village, I will be surprised."

"Manakor." Chepke raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, "Can I borrow your home to let me take a nap? I feel a little sleepy now..."

"If you want to sleep, can't you just go back to your house and sleep?"

"Didn't I tell you?" Chepke cast a helpless look at Manaker, "For some reasons, I don't really want to see my son and daughter-in-law."

"Let me take a nap at your house. I sleep until noon."

"Then you help me inform these people now..."

Chepke breathed out the names of the most important people in their village who were still alive.

"Help me tell them I have a little meeting this afternoon."

"A little meeting?" Manacre asked back. "What do you want to talk to them about?"

"Yes." Chepke nodded vigorously, "I plan to have a good talk with them about the future of the village."
