I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Although he managed to escape the attack of the Red Moon Fortress' Eizu, his grandfather Jiang fled to a place he didn't know at all because of his hasty escape.

I don't have a map at hand, I don't know where I am, and I don't know where to go to have water to drink—in short, I'm lost.

To get lost in such wilderness—it was a terrible thing.

These days, grandfather Jiang has been trying to get rid of the predicament of getting lost, trying to return to familiar places, or to return to Matsumae.

Grandfather Jiang didn't have much knowledge of survival in the wild.

He knows direction only by the position of the sun.

All he can do now is to go all the way south.

If you go all the way south, if you are lucky, you may be able to return to Matsumae domain smoothly.

Grandfather Jiang leaned against the big tree and rested for a while. After confirming that his body, which was full of fatigue from avoiding the brown bear just now, had recovered a bit, he whispered to himself, "Okay... let's go...!"

Grandfather Jiang stood upright, and after identifying the south through the sun, he walked slowly towards the south.

He wants to live.

He didn't want to die young so soon.

Grandfather Jiang raised his hand to wipe a cloth bag in his arms.

This cloth bag contained the gold sand that had been saved after panning for gold with Undead River during this period of time.

When he escaped from the guns and bows of the Red Moon Fortress's eizi, his grandfather Jiang threw away everything he could in order to run faster.

Only this bag of gold dust was not thrown away.

He wants to live.

Return to the Heren society alive.

Trade this bag of gold dust for a new life.

……

……

After a while—

A few days ago, Ogata stopped counting the days.

I didn't remember that it was the first few days before I set off for the Red Moon Fortress.

Every day, I just follow the team slowly forward, forward, forward...

Today's weather is not very good.

Thick clouds separated the sky from the earth, and it felt like snow might fall at any moment.

Today's weather is a bad one.

But what happened today was a good thing.

Just now, when Ogata and A-cho rode forward side by side as usual, Aizan ran towards them with an excited expression on his face.

While running towards Ogata and the others, he shouted excitedly:

"Mashima, Machi! We're here! Heyezhe can already be seen!"

Ogata raised his eyebrows: "Is He Yezhe in front?"

Aizan nodded vigorously.

Ogata reined in the horse's reins, forcing the carrot under his crotch to stop.

Then Ogata pulled his feet out of the stirrups, stood on the saddle, took out the binoculars he had won from Vasily, and looked forward.

Through the lens of the telescope, Ogata saw—just in front of them, there was a row of towering wooden walls.

Ogata only saw one side of the wall.

But at that size and height, Ogata couldn't help but gasp in admiration the next moment he saw the wall.

"Is it finally here... Red Moon Fortress..."

The author has been studying the book "What should I do if I meet a bear?" ", now the author has a lot of knowledge about bears, and he can call himself "Dr. Xiong".

The hardest core knowledge I have learned from this book is the method of self-rescue after being pushed down by a bear.

And the self-rescue method used by grandfather Jiang in this chapter is the method mentioned in this book.

This book is a popular science book compiled by a hardcore hunter who hunted dozens of bears in Hokkaido.

According to the hardcore hunter, he once had a companion who was also a hunter who accidentally missed and was knocked down by the bear when he was hunting a bear.

At that time, the bear opened its mouth to bite, so he clenched his hand into a fist, smashed his arm into the bear's mouth in one breath, grabbed the bear's tongue and pulled it back and forth. Just ran away.

People are afraid of bears, and bears are also afraid of people.In the world view of bears, human beings are terrible animals (except for those bears who have eaten human flesh), so as long as human beings make violent resistance, bears will often be frightened and run away.

If the bear's throat is blocked, it will not be able to exert much strength, so there is no need to worry about the arm being bitten off.

The hardcore hunter also hinted in the book: When stuffing your arm into the bear's mouth, it's best to stuff the whole arm in, it's better to grab the bear's tongue and pull it back and forth, as long as you have the will to survive Strong enough, this kind of thing is not difficult to do.

Of course - this method is limited to bears that have not eaten human flesh.

"How?" A-Machi asked Ogata who had just glanced at the Red Moon Fortress from afar with a telescope, "What does the Red Moon Fortress look like?"

"It's too far away, I can't see clearly, I only see a section of wooden wall and a river beside it."

Ogata handed the binoculars in his hand to A-Machi.

"Would you like to take a look at it?"

"I don't need it." Ating shook his head, "Anyway, the horse will arrive later."

At this time, a very young man suddenly came.

After the young man said something to Aizan who was next to Ogata, he quickly left and ran towards the rear of the team.

"What did that person just say?" Ogata asked.

"That young man is here to pass on the village chief's order." Aizan said, "The village chief just ordered: Now stay where you are and rest for a while."

"Rest in place now?" Ogata raised his brows, "He Yezhe is already right in front of us."

"The young man just said the reason." Aizan said, "We have been walking for quite a long time just now, and many old and weak are already feeling very tired."

"Although Heyezhe is right in front of us now, the only distance left is not too short."

"It's a little too much for the tired old and weak in the team to go on and finish the rest of the distance."

"Anyway, there is still some time before it gets dark, so there is no rush to enter Heyezhe."

"That's why the village chief decided to rest for a while, and then finish the last part of the road after resting."

Ogata was not in a hurry at first, since the village head Chepke decided to take a rest for the sake of the old and weak in the village, then Ogata would not say anything more.

At this time, Ogata suddenly remembered something.

"Are you resting..." Ogata had a strange smile on his face, "Aisuma and the others should be very happy..."

Hearing Ogata's emotion, A-Machi couldn't help showing a weird smile.

Ogata felt that Ahili's grandmother stayed here in Ezo, it was really a shame.

He felt that Ahili's grandma should go to a big city like Osaka, Kyoto, and Edo to become a storyteller, and she would definitely earn a lot of money every day.

……

……

It was indeed as Ogata said - after receiving the order from the village head Chepke to take a temporary rest, the people in the Red Moon Fortress headed by Aisuma were very happy.

They were finally able to continue listening to the story again.

……

……

"Grandma! You are here!"

Asuma spoke in an excited tone to Ashley's grandmother who was slowly walking towards them.

"Hohohoho..." Grandma covered her mouth and smiled, "Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."

In front of grandma, there are people sitting in various poses in the Red Moon Fortress on the snowy ground.

Everyone looked at grandma with anticipation and impatience.

"Mother-in-law! There just happened to be a dead tree that fell to the ground!" Aisuma took her grandma's hand and led her to a dead tree lying on the ground.

The snow on the dead wood was swept away by Aisuma and the others just now.

Grandma was also polite, sitting directly on the dead wood, with her hands folded on her legs.

"Where did I talk about it last time?" Grandma asked.

"It tells about a white-skinned man who was about to run away on his horse, but Mashima Goro blocked his way!" Asuma said.

"Oh, there." Grandma raised her hand and patted herself on the head, "I remembered."

"That...mother-in-law." Aisuma suddenly put on a strange expression, and said in a cautious tone, "The story... can I finish it today?"

"Hohohoho..." Grandma covered her mouth and let out her very unique "hohohoho" laugh, "The story has come to an end, grandma assures you that during this break time, the story Completely finished."

After finishing speaking, grandma cleared her throat, and then said slowly:

"It is said that the white-skinned man who planned to escape on horseback ran all the way."

"Just as he was about to escape from the village, Mashima Goro jumped out from the side."

"He just stood in front of the white-skinned man who was about to ride away on horseback."

"At this time, there is no extra time and energy to change direction, so the white-skinned man decided to ride Mashima Goro into the air."

……

Sitting in front of her in various poses, Aisuma and the others listened attentively to grandma's storytelling.

Grandma used to tell the young children in the village about heroic epics passed down from generation to generation, so she has already developed a sharp storytelling ability.

Grandma knew herself—if she finished telling Ogata's story too quickly, she would fall into the previous situation where she had nothing to do when it was time for a break.

So grandma made a very wise decision—to tell the story of Ogata as long as possible.

So grandma relied on the storytelling ability that she had honed by telling stories to the children in the village until now—a few days have passed, and she still hasn’t finished telling Ogata’s story...

In order to avoid the situation where Aisuma and the others get tired of hearing it, grandma specially kept a careful eye—every time, she stopped at the most exciting moment to whet Aisuma's appetite, so that Aisuma and the others could do it for them. Then listen to the follow-up content and keep asking her to come and tell the story.

So——after walking with the villagers of Qina Village, sitting around grandma's lap like this now, listening to grandma explain the specific process of Ogata's "one person saving the village", became Aisuma and the others every time they rested. time to do.

Ogata, who is the protagonist of the story, learned of this not long after Ashley's grandmother began to tell Isuma his story.

When he learned that Ahili's grandmother had a way to tell him the story of "saving the village by himself" for so many days, Ogata was shocked...

Ogata had attended several times.

The night the village was attacked, the elderly grandmother did not participate in the fighting, but hid at home.

Although she didn't witness Ogata's battle with her own eyes, she heard about Ogata's deeds from different people afterwards, so she didn't have to worry about having nothing to say, and what she said was generally correct.

Through these few times of listening, Ogata found that grandma was able to tell his story for so long, not through some complicated method, but just dragging the plot in a very ordinary way.

He drew his sword to block such an action, and grandma could talk for a minute.

But how grandma's eloquence is very good.

The content of such water can be described by her in a gaudy manner.Knowing that she was procrastinating, she still couldn't help but want to continue listening.

After listening to grandma's "story meeting", Ogata's first feeling was that it was a pity that Ahili's grandma didn't become a storyteller.

But grandma is also a conscientious person.

She knew that the Red Moon Fortress was just around the corner, so she knew that now should be their last rest time.

Therefore, grandma did not continue the water story this time, and ended Ogata's story very neatly, so that Aisuma and the others would no longer have to be hung up.

At the end of the break, Grandma just finished telling the story.
