I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"We're going back to Heyezhe soon. When we get back to Heyezhe, let's ask some of Heyezhe's doctors to show Miss Ading."

"Hmm..." Ogata nodded lightly, "This is the only way to go now..."

Revenge for A-Machi—this was already a few days ago.

After avenging Ah-Ming, Ogata and the others continued on their way back to the Red Moon Fortress as originally planned.

After several days of trekking, it was finally time to return to the long-lost Red Moon Fortress.

It is estimated that as long as there are no accidents, they will be able to reach the Red Moon Fortress before this evening.

After Aizan briefly comforted Ogata, the two stopped talking.

Ogata silently added firewood to the bottom of the pot, while Aizan also concentrated on adding seasonings to the pot.

It wasn't until after a while that Aizan felt that the atmosphere was too dull and wanted to liven it up. He smiled and nodded his face.

"Mr. Mashima, I've always been curious, don't you feel uncomfortable wearing this human skin mask?"

"It's okay." Ogata smiled, "When I first started wearing it, I was really not used to it."

"But as long as you get used to wearing it, you can hardly feel its existence."

A few days ago, after avenging Ah-cho, Obi explained to Aizan and Ahili why he had two faces.

Of course——Ogata would not just tell Aizan and Ahili all the truth about them so stupidly.

Ogata did not tell Aizan and Ahili that he is the "Most Wanted Criminal in Wajin Society", but only told them that for some reason, he had to wear this human skin mask to cover up his real appearance.

At the same time, Ogata did not tell them his real name.

Both Aizan and Ahili are empathetic...or smart people.

After the two of them saw that Ogata was unwilling to say more about the reason why he hid his true face, they didn't break the casserole and ask the bottom line.

Seeing that Ogata didn't say much, they didn't ask too much—they continued to maintain the distance between each other, and no one would point out.

The cleverness of Aizan and Ahili made Ogata heave a sigh of relief - if the two kept asking Ogata to reveal the reason for his hidden face, then Ogata really didn't know how to get away with it .

After Ogata and Aizan had a brief chat, Ahili returned to the pot with the finally prepared rabbit meat.

Because Ogata is still very weak, Ogata and the others specially cooked some porridge for him—using the rice that Ogata and A-cho always carry with them.

Before rushing to Ezo, Ogata and A-machi bought not only various kinds of dry food, but also some rice—specially used to adjust the taste when eating dry food and throwing up.

But the amount of rice is not much. After this period of consumption, the rice has almost bottomed out.

Ogata and his party had a brief lunch and then rested for a while, before returning to the Red Moon Fortress.

In the current state of A-Ming, it is natural that there is no way to ride a horse, so the four people have to make some changes in the way of riding horses in the past few days-Ogata and A-Ming share a carrot, while Aizan and Ahili share a grape.

The reason for this arrangement is to allow Ah-Ming to have a better rest.

Ogata sat in the back, and Ogata sat in front of Ogata.In this way, A-Machi can use Ogata as the back of the chair, leaning against Ogata behind him to rest.

It's convenient for A-Ming, but it's hard for Aizan and Ahili...

Neither Aizan nor Ahili knew how to ride a horse, so they had to learn how to ride a horse urgently...

Fortunately, Putao is a docile horse, and Aizan is also quite talented in riding a horse.

After the urgent special training, Aizan was barely able to trot forward with the grapes.

The weather is beautiful——since Ogata and his party resumed their journey, the weather has been fine, and there have been no bears, wolves or other accidents on the road.

After the sky was covered with a thin layer of black veil, the majestic double city walls of the Red Moon Fortress finally appeared at the end of Ogata's vision.

Ogata sped up his horse a little, and after approaching the fortress, Aizan and Ahili shouted "We are back" and "We are from China Village" to the people on the wall in Ainu language. ...

In Ogata, they approached the thick wall, and the figures on the wall began to shake rapidly.

"Um……?"

At this time, Ogata frowned slightly because he noticed something strange.

Although Ogata's eyesight was far inferior to that of A-Machi, it was not bad.

The group of them was not far from the city wall, so Ogata could vaguely see the expressions on the faces of the guards on the city wall—their faces were all alert and...frightened...

*******

*******

In the past two days, many book friends have misunderstood... The shopping mall opened by my parents is not a shopping mall like Wanda Plaza, but a shopping mall like a department store, so the author is not a rich second generation... …at best, it can only be regarded as a well-off family.

So there is no such thing as "inheriting the family business if the writing is not good"... I am the second son in the family, so it is definitely not my turn to inherit the family business, and I don't want to inherit any family business... Because I have no interest in opening a department store~~

Chapter 536 A Machi Who Can’t Move For A Month 【5400 words】

Red Moon Fortress

Otunpuyi stood on the outer wall of the Red Moon Fortress, fighting against sleepiness.

According to the rules, all young men in the Red Moon Fortress are obliged to stand guard on the city wall regularly.

This rule was still formulated by Chanup.

At the beginning, it was Chanup who under great pressure enforced this rule.

When Chanup and the others found the abandoned stronghold of the Lucians and were about to settle here, they proposed to set up a rule of "requiring all young men to stand on the city wall regularly", which was strongly opposed by many people.

The Ainu have always lived in settlements, and the "experience of living on the fortress" is about zero, so many people don't understand why this kind of rule that restricts the freedom of the villagers and requires young men to stand guard on the city wall regularly .

In response to the objections of these people, Chanup also tried his best to live in such a tall city wall. If there were not enough people standing on the city wall to guard, he would not know when foreign enemies came.

At that time, Chanup, who had made great contributions to everyone's southward migration, was at the peak of his prestige. Relying on his overwhelming prestige advantage, Chanup enforced this rule.

It turns out Chanup was right.

Not long after they settled here, there was a group of gold diggers who couldn't find gold, so they planned to earn some "extra money" by committing crimes, and they decided on the Red Moon Fortress.

Fortunately, a well-known clan member standing guard on the city wall discovered this group of gold diggers who were attacking at night in time, and then successfully drove them away.

Since this incident, no one has had any objection to the regulation made by Chanup.

And this rule has been continued in this way, even Chanup's only son, Otunpuyi, must obediently abide by this rule, and he has to come to the city wall to stand guard on a regular basis after he becomes an adult.

This task is actually not very tiring, as long as you stand on the post and monitor all the movements outside the city wall.

However, it is precisely because there is a single thing to do, so this task is very boring and boring.

From just now, Otunpuyi felt that his eyelids were quite heavy, and the upper eyelids were constantly fighting with the lower eyelids.

After resisting the urge to yawn, Otongpuyi looked up and saw that it was almost dark.

Aotongpuyi's sentry mission today only lasted until dark.

After dark, Otunpuyi will be able to change shifts and another person will stand guard.

Seeing that his sentry mission was finally coming to an end, Otunpuyi's mind was also encouraged a little, and his drowsiness subsided a little.

After successfully suppressing another yawn that was about to yawn, Otunpuyi suddenly noticed that there seemed to be several shadows shaking on the horizon outside the city wall.

As soon as Aotong Puyi looked intently, the swaying shadows slowly revealed that they were two horses.

And on the backs of these two horses, there are two people sitting on each.

However, because of the long distance, Otunpuyi couldn't see clearly what the four people sitting on the backs of the two horses looked like.

At the same time that Autongpuyi discovered the four men and two horses, the rest of the people on the city wall also noticed the group of people who had suddenly appeared and approached them.

"Hey! Someone is approaching! Someone is approaching!"

"Is it Kazuto? Or Lucia?"

"I don't know! The distance is too far! I can't see clearly!"

"Attention everyone! Attention everyone! Someone is approaching!"

Ezo lacks high-quality horses, coupled with their life of fishing and hunting, they lack the motivation to use horses, so the Ainu people have not lit up the technology tree of "horse riding" for a long time, and their means of transportation are mainly dog ​​sleds .

Therefore, in Ezo, there are generally only two types of people who can ride horses: Heren and Lucia.

The originally silent city wall became agitated instantly when a man on horseback approached.

Most of the people on the city wall couldn't hide their nervousness and uneasiness at this moment, including Aotong Puyi.

Since that incident happened a few days ago, everyone in the fortress is now very nervous when they find someone approaching the fortress, especially people approaching the fortress.

While everyone on the city wall was tensely on guard, the four men and two horses kept approaching the city at a moderate speed.

Finally, the group of uninvited guests got close enough for Otongpuyi to see their faces clearly.

After seeing the four people on the horseback, to be precise, the appearance of two of them, Otong Puyi was stunned for a while, and then turned into ecstasy.

"Don't be nervous!" Otsubui shouted to the people around him, "It's not the enemy! It's Mr. Mashima and Ms. Atachi! It's the two Kazutos who saved the villagers of Kina Village before!"

After Otunpuyi's shout fell, Aizan and Yaxili outside the wall also shouted at this time:

"We are back!", "We are from China Village!"

Hearing the yells of Autunpuyi and Aizan and Yahili outside the wall, the nervousness of the people on the wall faded a little.

"Are you telling the truth?" A clansman standing next to Autongpuyi asked.

Otunpuyi nodded vigorously: "I can't make a mistake!"

"Didn't the two Kazuto who saved the villagers of Qina Village leave long ago?" another person asked.

"The two of them didn't leave." Otunpuyi said, "The two of them left our Heyezhe some time ago because they wanted to go outside to do some things. Now they should come back after finishing their work."

"It's fine if it's not an enemy. Otunpuyi, it's up to you to go there yourself and ask Mr. Chanup to open the door."

"Okay!" Otong Puyi nodded vigorously.

The gate of the Red Moon Fortress cannot be opened casually.

Whenever the gate of the Red Moon Fortress is to be opened, Chanup's consent must be obtained first.

If Chanop happened not to be in the Red Moon Fortress for some reason, he would seek the consent of Retannoe, who was second only to Chanop, and so on.

Otunpuyi returned the bow back in his hand to the north, and then made two steps in three steps, and rushed back to his home as fast as he could.

When he got home, Otongpuyi saw his sister and his father.

Elder sister Aisuma is sitting behind her father Chanup, rubbing Chanup's neck.

And Chanup closed his eyes tightly, his face full of exhaustion that couldn't be concealed.

"Father!" Otunpuyi shouted, "Mr. Mashima and the others are back!"

"Oh?" Aisuma, who was rubbing Chanup's neck, stopped rubbing the back of Chanup's neck, "Mr. Mashima and the others are back so soon?"

After Otunpuyi's voice fell, Chanup also slowly opened his closed eyes and looked at Otunpuyi.

"They and the two fellow villagers of China Village who are traveling with them are now outside the wall gate." Otunpuyi added, "Father, please order to open the gate."

Chanup was silent for a while,

Then, he let out a few self-deprecating laughs:

"Come back to us at this time?"

After murmuring such a sentence in a low voice that both Aisuma and Otunpuyi were puzzled, Chanup nodded to Otunpuyi: "Open the door."

Rumble

The imposing gate of the Red Moon Fortress was slowly opened.

Seeing that the wall door was wide open, Ogata and the others immediately rode their horses towards the gate of the Red Moon Fortress.

As soon as he passed through the wall door and returned to the long-lost Red Moon Fortress, many people immediately surrounded him, looking at Ogata and the others with different expressions.

Among the surrounding onlookers, Ogata saw two familiar figures walking towards them quickly.

"Aisuma, Otongpuyi, long time no see." Ogata greeted proactively, "What a coincidence, I ran into the two of you as soon as I passed through the wall door."

The two figures walking quickly towards Ogata and the others were Aisuma and Otongpuyi.

After receiving permission from his father to open the door, Otunpuyi hurried back to the city wall without stopping, accompanied by Asuma on the way back to the city wall.

The relationship between Aisuma and Ogata is also very good, so seeing Ogata and the others come back, Aisuma also wants to go to the city gate to greet them.

"That's because I had been standing guard on the city wall just now, so I was the first to know that you were back." Aotongpuyi smiled.

After Otunpuyi explained in simple sentences how he and Aisuma knew that Ogata and the others had returned for the first time, Aisuma on the side suddenly screamed:

"Ah! What's wrong with Ms. Machi? Is she sick?"
