I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

And A-Machi is also named according to the color of her hair, and she is not very good at naming.

She thought her horse's coat color was like a grape, so she named her horse "Grape".

After picking out the horses, Obeyo began to teach Ah-machi how to ride a horse.

Then the scenes that made Ogata deeply understand the truth of "everyone has his own strengths and weaknesses" appeared.

A-Ming seems to be particularly lacking in horseback riding talent.

No matter how many times Ogata said "tighten your legs and relax your waist", and even pointed out A-Machi himself, A-Machi just couldn't grasp the trick, and either slipped off the horse's back or fell directly from the horse's back down.

If it weren't for Ogata's quick eyesight and quick hands, every time A-Ming was about to fall, he would rush up to hug her in time.

Otherwise, after falling from the horse so many times, A-Ming must have had a bruised nose and a swollen face.

Ogata wondered if what he did with A-cho before made A-cho develop very bad habits.

In the past, when Ogata rode a horse on top of him, Ogata would support her with both hands.

Now there is no one who can support Ah-Ming on horseback, and Ah-Machi felt very uncomfortable, so he couldn't grasp the knack for a long time.

"oops!"

A-Ming slid off the horse again.

Ogata: Oh, "Didn't I tell you to clamp your legs tightly?"

Acho:

Maybe it’s because I worked too hard a few days ago, so I didn’t feel very well yesterday, and I felt dizzy and swollen, a feeling that I didn’t have enough rest, so I wrote a little less today, today I only have 7000 words, but this kind of The word count is quite a lot.

Chapter 496 Ogata Beast Super Evolution!The executioner's second shot! 【9000 words】

Turnips and grapes are true Don horses.

Radishes are about 160 at the shoulder.

The grapes are slightly shorter at the shoulder, about 150.

The two mares that Skulucci chose for Ogata and Atachi are excellent horses with both docility, physical strength and leg strength.

How docile are Ogata's radishes and A-machi's grapes?

It is so docile that anyone can ride it.

Ogata didn't do anything to Radish, and Radish bowed his head docilely to Ogata, allowing Ogata to ride up and down on its back.As if there had never been a "previous owner".

The docileness of grapes is as good as that of radishes.

But riding such a docile horse, Ah Ding still has not been able to control it to pace slowly until now.

"Let's do it again." Ogata said.

"Yeah." A-cho, who was sitting on Grape's horse, took a deep breath, took a deep breath, and then lightly tapped Grape's belly with his heel.

Carrot and Grape are both well-trained war horses. After A-Ding tapped its belly with its heel, it immediately gave a elephant trunk, and then walked forward slowly with A-Ding.

After the grape carried A-Machi forward, A-Machi immediately shook his body violently on horseback like a sailor on a ship facing a storm and shaking with the deck.

In order to keep her body stable, A-Machi immediately used her legs to clamp the saddle and the horse's belly under her buttocks.

"Don't clamp your legs so tightly!" Ogata on the side immediately corrected, "If your legs are clamped so tightly, the inner side of your thigh will be very painful. If you wear it for a day, you will definitely bleed."

"But if you don't clamp it tight, I will fall!"

On the emotional side, he sighed helplessly.

A-Machi has still not grasped "what kind of force should be used to clamp the saddle and the horse's belly so that it will not fall off".

Ogata was almost screwed by A-Machi's stupid talent for riding horses that opened the door for stupidity.

But he wouldn't blame Ah-Ming aloud.

After all, people have their strengths and their rulers are short.

Everyone has places where they happen to be very untalented, and places where they are very talented.

"Let's take a break first." Ogata said, "It's been a long time since I practiced. Let's take a rest and drink something."

Hearing Ogata's words, A-Machi immediately rolled off Putao's back as if he had been pardoned.

After stepping on the ground with both feet, Ah-Ming felt the sense of freedom and joy of getting off the boat and landing on the ground.

Machi gets seasick while on a boat.

When riding a horse, you can't grasp the knack of riding a horse.

If it wasn't for the fact that A-Machi had ridden in a carriage and hadn't suffered from motion sickness, Ogata really doubted that A-Machi didn't have the talent to ride vehicles

Ah Ding led Grape to a big tree not far away, tied the rein of the horse to the tree trunk, and then sat down on a big rock nearby.

"I didn't expect riding a horse to be so hard"

While muttering, A-Ming raised his hands and lightly rubbed the skin on the inner sides of his two thighs that were aching from the saddle.

"The nomads in Tangtu live on horseback. They ride horses every day. Don't they all have thick calluses on the inner thighs?"

"do not know."

A-cho's question directly hits Ogata's knowledge blind spot.

"You can ask Scruucci and them." Ogata continued, "They are people who often ride horses."

After rubbing the hot skin on the inner thigh with gentle force, A-Machi finally felt a little better.

A-Machi took a deep breath, then looked up at the slightly cloudy sky above his head, showing a dazed expression.

"What do you think we should do next?"

Machi suddenly asked such a question.

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Ogata asked.

"There are no clues here in Qina Village." Ah Ding couldn't hide his disappointment, "Where should we go to find Xuanzheng and Xuanzhen next?"

Since they helped the villagers of China Village deal with the incoming Cossacks, and then began to live temporarily in the village, Ogata and Atachi looked at various opportunities and asked all the villagers in the village who could speak well , The villagers who have not been asked before have seen Xuanzheng and Xuanzhen.

Just yesterday, they finished asking the last person.

The end result is nothing.

China Village was the last village Aiyaka could bring Ogata and the others to.

Since there is nothing to be gained from China Village, then Aiyaka will not be able to help, and then it will be up to Ogata and the others to find other villages by themselves, and to find Xuanzheng and Xuanzhen by themselves. clue.

However, as soon as Ah-cho finished speaking, Ojai suddenly showed a free and easy smile.

"Machi, I feel like you've been showing negative emotions lately."

Ogata raised his hand and touched his left neck which was covered by the scarf.

"Is it because when I took a bath before, I saw the skin on my left neck and felt that the immortal poison in my body began to spread again, so was my mood affected by it?"

A-Machi did not answer Ogata's question, but remained silent.

But her silence is also equivalent to answering in disguise.

"Machi, do you know a truth?"

"What truth."

"If you're worried about something happening, it's more likely to happen."

"What kind of truth is this?" Ah-Ming frowned, "Is there any basis?"

This sentence is based on "Murphy's Law".

Ogata said silently in his heart.

Ogata had learned concepts related to "Murphy's Law" in a book in his previous life.

Murphy's Law is a psychological effect, known as one of the three major discoveries of Western culture in the 20th century.

If the specific content is laid out in detail, it will take at least a thousand words.

In Murphy's law, there is an important concept: if you worry about something happening, then it is more likely to happen.

Naturally, Ogata would not explain the details of "Murphy's Law" to A-Machi, so he just made a fuss:

"I heard this from a nihilistic monk who seemed to be an eminent monk when I first left the domain. I think this sentence makes sense, so I always remember it."

"Machi, don't you think this sentence makes sense?"

"Think about your past carefully, haven't you ever had something like this happen before? Always worry about something, and then that thing really happened in the future."

"No." Ah-Ming shook her head while opening her big innocent eyes.

Ogata: ""

I can't continue talking.

Ogata didn't know how to proceed with this "no yeah" from A-Machi.

After coughing softly a few times to cover up his embarrassment, Ogata said solemnly:

"You don't have to worry about the future all the time."

"There's always a way."

"As for where we should go to find Xuanzheng, Xuanzhen and the others' clues, this is actually very easy to handle."

"Since Aiyaka and the others can't help anymore. Then we should ask the people in China Village for help."

"Qina Village should have a different social circle from Kuma Village."

"We can ask the villagers of China Village to help us take us to villages we haven't been to before."

"If we ask them, they will certainly not refuse us."

"As long as you look for clues slowly and down-to-earth, maybe you will meet someone who happens to have clues to Xuanzheng and Xuanzhen the next day."

Although Ogata spent a lot of words to comfort Ah-cho, and Ah-cho tried to force a smile to respond, but there was still a faint sadness in the depths of her pupils that had not dissipated.

Seeing that A-Machi still didn't pull himself together, Ogata fell silent again.

After a long while of silence.

Ogata suddenly reached into his arms and pulled out a pistol.

A very different pistol from Kasumi.

A flintlock pistol with a large red dot on the barrel.

"A-Machi, you are free now, how about practicing how to use this new gun together?"

Hearing Ogata's words, Amachi's eyes immediately lit up.

"now?"

"Well, anyway, we are just sitting and resting now. And the practice of the new gun can be practiced no matter whether it is sitting or standing."

"Okay!"

A-Machi also took out a large-caliber flintlock pistol of the same style as Ogata from his pocket.

Right now

Chepke sat cross-legged on the ground with several high-status people in their Qina village.

At this moment, their eyes were focused on a middle-aged man who was also sitting cross-legged in front of them, facing them.

The middle-aged man had a big beard that reached down to his chest.

This big beard is neatly combed, and it still shines with a beautiful black light. It can be seen that it has been taken good care of it at ordinary times.

The bearded man folded his arms around his chest just like that, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Chepke and the others are now located in a place called "Heyezhe" by their Ainu people and "Red Moon Fortress" by Japanese people.

And this middle-aged man with a big beard is named Chanup.

He is Heyezhe's supreme authority, the person who controls the whole Heyezhe.

After several days of trekking on a dog sled, Chepke and the others arrived at Heyezhe smoothly.

Chepke and Chanup have a fair personal relationship, so both the meeting and the subsequent talks went quite smoothly.

Just now, Chepke had explained their purpose to Chanup.
