I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Autongpuyi raised his head: "Sister, won't you go home with me?"

"I don't want to go home so soon." Aisuma said with a blank face, "I'm full of fire from you now, I want to blow some air outside, and go home after the fire in my stomach subsides."

"...I see..." Otunpuyi lowered his head again.

Let me share with you a piece of cold knowledge: Many referees in this Olympic Games are blind~ What a conscience, let the blind find jobs again.I understand why the budget for this Olympic Games is so high. It turned out that all the money was used to invite blind people to be Olympic referees. What a beautiful country. In order to make blind people re-employed, I did not hesitate to do this.

Chapter 510 Ogata "Assassinated"!

I found that some book friends often misunderstand Matsudaira's age because of Matsudaira's mature speech and noble status.

The reason why Matsudaira Sadanobu speaks maturely is the author's intention. A person with power over the world like him will naturally speak more maturely, and will not laugh like a young man.

The author has popularized the age of this historical figure Matsudaira Sadanobu before, so let me do it again now.

Matsudaira Sadanobu was born in 1758 AD. At the current time of this book (1791 AD), he is only 33 years old now.

Although this age was regarded as a middle-aged person who could be hugged by a grandson in ancient society, it was far from being called an "old man".

By the way-Sadanobu Matsudaira was only 29 years old when he became the second in command of the country.

High positions such as Laozhong and Ruonianji were basically held by feudal lords of feudal states that were close to the shogunate.

Therefore, those who can become old middlemen are basically both old middlemen and the lords of the XX domain.

Before Matsudaira Sadanobu became Laozhong, he was the lord of the Shirakawa domain in the Mutsu area.He is now not only the senior middleman of the shogunate, but also the lord of the Baihe domain.

But occasionally there are exceptions.In Japan during the Edo period, when the class was extremely solidified and the system of seniority and wealth was implemented, there were also heroes who were born from the bottom, but ended up succeeding and ruling the world.Matsudaira Sadanobu's former senior middle schooler, Eiji Tanuma, is such a hero.

At the beginning, Tanuma Yiji was just a low-level samurai of the Kii clan. Finally, after various manipulations, he miraculously succeeded in jumping from a low-level samurai to the country's second-in-command and dominated the world.As for how he did it, I will share it with you when I have a chance in the future.

"I didn't expect that we just came to the Red Moon Fortress and were about to leave..." Ah Ding muttered, "How should we get to that Huxi Village? Can we find someone who knows where Huxi Village is to show us the way?"

Ogata and Machi walked side by side on the way back to where they lived.

It was just after dinner time, so there weren't many people on the road, so the scene of many people watching Ogata and the others during the day did not appear.

"That's the only way to do it." Ogata said, "When we go back, we can ask the villagers of Qina Village to see if any of them know where Huxi Village is and are willing to take us there."

Compared with the unfamiliar residents of the Red Moon Fortress, Ogata naturally wanted to ask the villagers of Huxi Village who were close to them to help them.

"In order to find Xuanzheng and Xuanzhen, we really took great pains..." Ah-Ming didn't have the slightest expression on his face, but his tone was full of displeasure, "Chasing all the way from Kyoto to Ezo, and then And running around in Ezo again..."

A-Machi put on a half-joking tone.

"We have suffered so much. Now I really have the urge to punch those two people in the face after I find them."

"I really want to go back to Japan soon..."

"Although Ainu food is quite delicious after getting used to it, I still prefer our Japanese food."

"And I have never been used to living in an Ainu house. I really miss the feeling of sleeping on tatami..."

"Persevere." Ogata said softly.

While talking and laughing with A-Ming, Ogata suddenly found a familiar figure not far in front of him.

Looking intently, he found that the figure standing not far from them was Aisuma who had just parted with them not long ago.

Asuma sat on the ground, leaning against a big tree, with her head down, as if she was thinking about something.

Aisuma was one of the few people that Ogata and the others knew in Red Moon Fortress.

When Ogata and the others discovered Aisuma, Aisuma also discovered Ogata and Acho.

"Mr. Mashima, Miss Atachi." Asuma looked at the two of them, "Why are you here?"

Ogata: "That's a long story..."

Ogata told Ai Suma concisely about Lin Ziping.

"Huxi Village..." Aisuma said, "I know this village, it's not very far from our Heyezhe, but because that village is not very familiar with our Heyezhe, so I also I have never been to that village, and I don’t know where it is.”

"I just hope that someone in Qina Village knows where Nahuxi Village is." Ogata smiled.

Ogata looked around.

"By the way—why are you here alone? Where's your brother?"

"I'm here to blow the air." Aisuma squeezed out an ugly smile, "Blowing the night wind can calm down my full stomach a little bit."

"I was really pissed off by my brother just now..."

"What's wrong with your brother?" Machi asked.

"He said a lot of stupid things. As for what he said... please allow me to keep it a secret."

Speaking of this, Aisuma let out a sigh of relief.

"What a worrying little brother..."

"He is in this state, how can he participate in the hunting festival..."

"Hunting festival?" Ogata tilted his head, "What is this?"

"Don't you know about our Heyezhe's hunting festival?"

Ogata and A-Machi both shook their heads.

A-Machi: "Is it a sacrificial event?"

"Hmm... It's barely a sacrificial activity." The ugly smile on Aisuma's face gradually softened, "This hunting festival should be regarded as a unique sacrificial activity for Heyezhe."

"Ten years ago, the climate in the north changed suddenly for some reason."

"The weather has become extremely cold, and a large number of animals, including deer, froze to death."

"The large reduction in the number of deer, rabbits and other animals has also caused bears, wolves and other animals to find food and starve to death."

"The massive reduction of animals has also put us, who rely on hunting for a living, in an instant of food shortage."

"The living environment is getting worse and worse, so many people finally made up their minds to abandon their current homes and go south to find new homes."

"A total of four tribes decided to go south to find a new home."

"And my father, Chanup, happens to be the village chief of one of these four tribes."

"The people of the four tribes joined together and headed south aimlessly."

"Although I was only a 5-year-old kid at that time, and I was still at an age where I don't remember much, I still remember all the hardships of going south at that time."

"Because of the unfamiliarity of life, it is a big problem to find clean water and enough food."

"Almost every day, there are people who, due to various reasons, can no longer continue to search for a new home with everyone."

"We are what we are today thanks to the young people in the tribe."

"In order to obtain enough food and water, the young people of the four tribes worked extremely hard every day in the unfamiliar mountains and forests, looking for prey."

"Many people died at the mouth of bears and wolves because they were not familiar with the conditions in the mountains and forests, or got lost and never came back."

"After hunting prey, these young people also give the food to the weaker old women and children first, and these young people eat last."

"Thanks to the sacrifices of those young people, we were able to survive all the way, and finally successfully found the fortress left by the white men, settled here, and built a new home."

"In order to commemorate these young people who died on the way to the south for the sake of the tribe, after building a new home here, my father, Chanup, together with Retan Noe, initiated a proposal: to organize a new, An event to commemorate those young people."

Speaking of this, Ai Suma paused, and then immediately added:

"Ah, you probably don't know who Retannoe is."

"Leitannoe's position in our Heyezhe... In the words of you and others, it should be the second in command."

"He's like my father — he's the village head of one of the four tribes that went south."

"Although his personality is a bit irritable, he is also a very capable person. On the way to find a new home in the south, his role and contribution are not weaker than my father's."

"His status and influence in Heyezhe is second only to my father Chanup."

"Ah, that Puccina you saw just now is the son of Retannoe."

"Under the call of my father and Retannoe, the 'Hunting Festival' was born."

"The young people of Heyezhe gathered together to compete in archery—this is the 'hunting festival'."

"By letting young people compete with bow skills, let those heroic spirits who fell on the southward road and have gone to the 'beyond world' know that their sacrifices are worthwhile. We have successfully found a new home. The young people in the tribe People are thriving, bow skills are not in vain, and everyone is an excellent hunter."

"At the beginning, the 'Hunting Festival' was relatively rough, but now it has gradually become more and more grand."

"The current 'hunting festival' is held twice a year."

"The 'Hunting Festival' has now become a festival that many of us in Heyezhe attach great importance to."

"Many young people are eager to show their talents in the 'hunting festival'."

"The first 'hunting festival' of this year will start in another 6 days."

"My brother will be participating in the 'hunting festival' for the first time this year."

"But his current level of archery..."

The smile on Asuma's face instantly turned bitter.

"To put it bluntly...if he plays at his current level, I'm afraid he will lose face to my father and me..."

"My younger brother has always been introverted."

"Not good at interacting with people."

"Until now, I don't have any friends. I'm only close to my father and me. I can't even find a companion who can practice bow with him."

"It's very inefficient to practice archery alone, because if you are alone, you often don't notice that your movements are wrong."

"I really hope that kid can be more competitive..."

"Based on his current state... I'm really worried that he will be embarrassed in the upcoming 'hunting festival'..."

Speaking of this, Aisuma sighed again.

"It's really not easy for you to be an older sister." Ogata said.

Ogata is an only child no matter in the previous life or in this life, and he doesn't have any brothers and sisters, so Ogata has a strange feeling about this kind of brother and sister relationship.

"Who told him he was my younger brother." Aisuma smiled wryly, "Not long after he was born, his mother died of illness."

"At any rate, I felt a bit of maternal love in my childhood, but he doesn't even have the slightest memory of his biological mother."

"While I am playing the role of 'sister', I am also trying to play the role of 'mother'."

Speaking of this, Aisuma paused as if recalling something.

"...Now think about it carefully...the reason why the child is so interested in things related to people may be affected by the early death of his mother..."

"My mother got a very strange disease not long after giving birth to Otunpuyi."

"The high fever persisted, and I couldn't eat any food. As soon as I ate it, I immediately vomited it out."

"I called all the doctors I could find, tried all the available methods, but none of them worked..."

"Otunpuyi often tells me: If our doctors' skills are better, if our medical skills are better, maybe my mother won't die..."

"That child probably became interested in Kazuto because of this... I think that as long as I live an advanced life like Kazuto, my mother might be able to be cured and not die..."

After finishing speaking, Aisuma pursed her lips tightly.

After a while, she took a deep breath, then raised her hands and patted her cheek vigorously.

"Sorry..." Asuma apologized to Ogata and A-Ming in front of her, "I seem to have said something very serious."

Ogata shook his head: "It's okay. Don't worry about us. It's us who should say sorry, and let you recall some not-so-good memories."

"...Thank you." Aisuma smiled, "Thank you for chatting with me. After chatting with you for a while, I feel much better."

Asuma stood up.

"I've been outside long enough, and it's almost time for me to go home."

"Just now... because of a moment of excitement, I said something... a little too much to my brother..."

"I have to apologize to him..."
