I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

There is nothing to say about physical strength. A person rushes left and right in the camp, moving basically on his feet, and even entered the "no-self state" once in the middle.

As for the mental aspect, since he broke into the camp, Ogata's nerves have been in a tense state, guarding his surroundings and guarding against any possible attacks.

After successfully leaving the camp and relaxing his tense nerves, Ogata instantly felt exhausted pouring out of his brain and every muscle in his body.

The double consumption of mental and physical strength really made Ogata's current state look quite bad, reaching the level that "an outsider can tell that this person is very tired now at a glance".

Ogata, who understood Ashley's "sign language", was just thinking about whether to follow Ashley's advice, and when he went to take a break now, he suddenly heard low gasps coming from his side.

The volume of this gasp was not too loud, just enough for both Ogata and Ashley to hear clearly.

Hearing this gasp, Ogata and Ashley quickly turned their heads to look at A-Machi beside him like a conditioned reflex, and A-Machi, who had kept his eyes tightly closed since Ogata left last night, now opened his eyes a slit. Opening the gap, he turned his head and looked at Ogata and Ashley.

Before Ogata and Ahili had time to say anything, A-Machi took the lead in speaking to them in a weak tone:

"Is there water?"

Ashley has been following Ogata and Atachi for such a long time, and now Ashley can recognize some simple Japanese words.

She didn't understand what Ah-Ming said just now.

But she heard the word "water".

Ah-ding has been sweating profusely since last night, and he hasn't taken in a drop of water, so it's strange that his body doesn't lack water.Instantly realizing that A-Machi probably wanted water, Ahiri nodded vigorously, said "There is water, there is water" several times in Ainu, and quickly got out of the hunting lodge.

After a while, Ahili reappeared in front of Ogata and A-Machi holding a large glass of warm water.

Ogata supported A-Ting to sit up with one hand, and took the warm water from Ashley with the other. He tried it himself first, and after confirming that the water temperature was okay, he handed the cup of warm water to A-Ting, whose body was already a little cracked. lips.

The thirsty A-Ming gulped like a buffalo, and drank the big glass of warm water in just two breaths.

"Do you want to drink?" Ogata asked.

A-Ming shook his head: "I'm already full."

Seeing what Ah-machi said, Oo conveniently handed the cup back to Ashley.

Just as Ogata wanted Ah-cho to lie down again, Ah-cho said to Ogata one step ahead:

"Wait a minute. I was lying down yesterday, and my back hurt from lying down. Let me sit for a while now. It's good for my body."

"Wouldn't it be uncomfortable to sit?" Ogata asked.

"No, I'm more comfortable sitting now"

"OK then"

Ogata changed where he was sitting, from sitting on the side of A-Machi to sitting behind A-Machi, so that A-Machi could use him as the back of the chair and lean on him.

Seeing this, Ashley held the cup that Ogata had just handed back with great discernment, and quickly left the hunting lodge, leaving enough space for Ogata and A-Ming.

In fact, Ogata was not afraid that Ashley would stay here, anyway, she couldn't understand the conversation between him and A-Ming.

"How are you feeling now? Is there something wrong?"

"Except for the pain in the wound and the feeling of being tired, everything else is fine." A-Ming forced out a not-so-good-looking smile, "How long have I been sleeping? What time is it now?"

"You have slept for 7 or 8 hours, and it is already noon."

"Have I been asleep for so long?"

After saying that, A-Machi closed his eyes and rested his head on the socket of Ogata's left shoulder.

"Do you have an appetite to eat now?" Ogata asked, "Aizan went hunting, and he should be back soon. Let me see if I can cook something for you."

"I feel that my appetite should be okay and I should be able to eat." After that, A-Machi drilled his head into Ogata's shoulder socket, "Let's not talk about my business for now, let's talk about yours." matter"

"My business?" Ogata raised an eyebrow.

"You smell very bloody."

Ogata's expression froze.

"Although your clothes looked clean, when I leaned against you, I immediately smelled the smell of blood on your body"

"Did you still run to avenge me?"

"Yeah." At this point, Ogata couldn't think of any way to hide it, so after pursing his lips, he nodded lightly, "I will avenge you while you are sleeping." The guy who almost killed you is now in eternal sleep."

After Ogata's words fell, Ah-Ming slowly opened his eyes, then raised his head, and looked at Ogata who was sitting behind her, using his body as the back of the chair for her. Deep in the pupils of his eyes, there was an indescribable emotion slowly emerge.

"You're not hurt?" she asked.

Ogata smiled and shook his head:

"I'm not hurt. If you don't believe me, you can feel around."

"Why can't you bear it for a while?" A-Ming's tone was somewhat reproachful.

She closed her eyes, leaned the back of her head against Ogata's left shoulder again, and said nothing.

Seeing that A-Machi stopped talking, Ogata couldn't help but said in a cautious tone:

"I thought you were going to reprimand me harshly, reprimand me for not obediently listening to you"

"I don't have the strength to reprimand you now." A-Machi sighed softly, "And since the incident has already happened, it's pointless for me to reprimand you no matter what."

"As long as you're okay"

"Mr. Mashima, Ms. Machi!"

At this time, Ahili's voice suddenly came from outside the house.

Ashley, who had just left for a short time, went back into the hunting lodge.

"Mr. Aizan is back."

As soon as Ahili finished speaking, Aizan's voice sounded from outside the house:

"Mashima-san, you're finally back! Machi-san, are you awake?"

Aizan carried a bow and arrow and followed Ahili into the hunting lodge with a fat rabbit. After seeing Ogata who finally came back, and A-Ming who woke up, he showed surprise.

"I'm sorry to make you worry." Ogata said, "During the time I was away, it was really hard for you to help take care of A-Machi."

Aizan quickly said: "It's nothing, please don't worry about it."

"Mr. Mashima, you came back just in time."

Speaking of this, a strange color appeared on Aizan's face.

"There are guests visiting."

After hesitating for a long time, Aizan finally spit out the word "guest".

Today's update is as late and less guilty as ever

The author’s parents run a shopping mall, and they asked me to come to the shopping mall to help before I found a formal job, so I basically work every day during the day, and I can’t start writing until I get off work at night.

So the author can be regarded as a social animal now, and I can't guarantee the amount of updates every day after that.

All in all, for the sake of apology, today I will not popularize cold knowledge, let me tell you about the follow-up plot of this book.

Misestimating the volume of the plot is considered my traditional talent. I always thought that this book could be finished in the late summer and early autumn of this year, but now I find that this is completely a dream

Each of the current volumes of this book has always been in the mode of "one volume, one map". Volume 5 is in Kyoto, volume 6 is in Edo, and volume 7 is in Ezo.

But that's not the case with the final volume, Volume 8.

The stage of Volume 8 is extremely vast, spanning multiple maps. Now I will reveal a little bit about the maps involved in Volume 8, Ezodi and Osaka.

And there are so many forces involved in the final volume, Buddhism, ninjas, shogunate, gourd house, etc.

Because the map is vast and there are many influences, the amount of plot is also huge. It may not be a problem to write 80 words. In addition, the author is not a college student with too much time every day. The amount of daily updates is not as good as before, so this This book is not until next year, so there should be no chance to finish it.

Chapter 534 The wind is raging, the battle is imminent 【6000 words】

"Guest?" Xu Fang asked with doubts.

Aizan nodded: "Well, it's the villagers of Siwaxi Village"

"Siwaxi Village?" Ogata's pupils shrank slightly.

The village where the girl named Lilata rescued by Ogata in Siwaxi Village lives now

After Ogata captured the general named Sakaguchi, he pried out the information he wanted to know from Sakaguchi: "Why did you pursue them", "How did you chase them here", etc.

So Ogata already knew what happened to Siwaxi Village after he, A-Ming and the others left

After Sakaguchi clearly told Ogata that they had done some excessive things to the villagers of Siwaxi Village, he asked about Ogata's whereabouts from the villagers.

Sakaguchi also mentioned the methods they used to torture the villagers in Siwaxi Village. Because they didn't have any torture tools at hand, they all used some very primitive and barbaric torture methods.

Fist kicks, and severed fingers.

Finger amputation is a well-known form of torture in ancient Japan.

The so-called "broken finger" does not mean cutting off a person's finger with a knife.

Instead, he used brute force to forcefully pull his fingers off his palm.

The ten fingers connect to the heart, so there are often victims who die in pain directly.

According to Sakaguchi, they initially used simple punches and kicks against the village chief of Siwaxi village.

But no matter how much he beat or kicked, the village head refused to say a word.

So in order to make the village head obediently speak, Mogami personally ordered: use the severed finger on the village head.

After forcibly pulling off the village chief's second finger, the village chief finally gave in and revealed the whereabouts of Ogata and the others.

"I met people from Siwaxi Village by chance when I was hunting just now." Aizan slowly explained to Ogata how he happened to meet the villagers of Siwaxi Village just now.

"When I caught this fat rabbit, I suddenly heard a strange noise that only humans could make from the bushes not far away."

"After I used a bow and arrow to force the people hiding in the bushes to come out, I saw the village head of Siwaxi Village and a middle-aged man I didn't know standing up from the bushes."

"The village chief said: He is now leading the surviving villagers to escape from the village and into the mountains, and he just came in this direction."

"Most of the young men in their village died, and there were many more wounded, so he also had to come to hunt in person to hunt some fresh meat for the wounded in the village to replenish their bodies."

"And then just met me by chance."

"The village chief said he wanted to see you very much, that he betrayed you, so he wanted to apologize to you face to face, so I brought them here, Mr. Mashima, do you want to meet them?"

"Where are the village chief and the others now?" Ogata asked.

"He's outside right now." Aizan replied.

"Is he the only one here?" Ogata asked.

"No." Aizan shook his head, "In addition to the village chief, the little girl named Lilata and her grandmother are also here."

"It seems that the village chief originally wanted to see you alone. But it seems that the little girl Lilata insisted on coming together, so the village chief brought her and her grandmother along."

"I understand." Ogata nodded lightly, "Aizan, thank you for bringing them here."

After finishing speaking, Ogata supported O-Machi's shoulders and made A-Machi lie down again.A-Machi is not an ignorant child, so she naturally didn't make any resistance to disturb Ogata at this time, and lay down obediently again.

After letting A-Ming lie down again, Ogata took out the human skin mask from his arms and put it on skillfully.

Aizan and Ahili looked at Ogata who was wearing a human skin mask on his face in shock and horror.

After seeing Ogata in front of them change back to the familiar "Mashima Goro" face, the expressions of shock and horror on their faces were too strong to be added.

Since yesterday, they have been wondering why Ogata's face changed.

But it was hard to find the time to ask, and Ogata never had time to explain to the two of them.

Until now, Aizan and Ahili finally knew how Ogata changed his appearance.

After putting on the human skin mask, Ogata smiled wryly at Aizan and Yahili: "I'm sorry, I may have scared you. I will explain to you what my face is all about."

With that said, Ogata got out of his hunting lodge.

And Aizan immediately followed Ogata, and followed Ogata out of the hunting lodge.

There was no need for Aizan to point out the direction, as soon as he got out of the hunting lodge, he saw three figures, two big and one small, standing in the southwest direction of the hunting lodge.

These three figures are the village head of Siwaxi Village, Lilata and her grandmother.

Lilata is now standing behind the village chief, holding the clothes of the grandmother standing next to him with one hand, and the small windmill that Ogata made for him, which is quite familiar to Ogata, with the other hand.

Although the distance was a bit far, Ogata could still clearly see the village chief's naturally hanging left hand wrapped with a thick cloth strip for hemostasis. The brown cloth strip was stained dark black by blood, and there was no ring finger and no ring finger on the palm. The little finger refers to these 2 fingers.

Although Lilata and her grandmother who stood beside her were not physically mutilated like the village chief, their skins exposed outside their clothes were all blue and purple, and Lilata's grandmother's face was even more so. It was a direct blow.

Looking at Lilata's miserable situation, Ogata couldn't help pursing his lips, and then walked quickly towards the three of them.
