[Gintama] The Peerless Good Dad of the Governor

While squatting down by the river to wash his face, looking at the flow of the river, Tufang suddenly thought that although he didn’t know where this place was, since they were washed here by the current, as long as they walked up the river, they should be able to I found my way back.

"Hello, Takasugi."

"Let's go up the river, maybe we can walk back."

Shinsuke Takasugi objected to this.

"I think it would be better to go to a high place in the forest to survey the terrain first, and then decide on the direction to go after seeing it clearly."

"High places? We don't know anything about this forest. Who knows if there are any hillsides or mountains? If you rush to find high places, you may lose your way. Humans are not bees, and there is no direction radar. , then even this symbolic river will not be found, isn’t it even worse?”

The two were so deadlocked because of their disagreement, and in the end, it turned out that Shinsuke Takasugi compromised.

Of course, they also agreed to try the method of returning from the upper reaches of the river first. If it doesn’t work, follow Takasugi Shinsuke’s method and find a high point to see the way out.

The two set off with hungry and empty bellies.

Originally, Shinsuke Takasugi had proposed to find something to eat to satisfy his hunger, but Hijikata resolutely rejected it.

The longer he spends alone with Takasugi Shinsuke, the easier it is for him to think wildly, so he can't affect the bad impression that Takasugi Shinsuke has established in his heart for a long time.

However, when the time passed in the afternoon, they finally reached the end of the river, only to find that the river that had been used as a signpost was actually one of the branches of a certain river, and there were six or seven of the same branch rivers in different directions. It was impossible to tell which river was the target of washing them into the forest.

Shinsuke Takasugi hugged his chest leisurely, looking at the tributaries in front of him.

"It seems that my idea is better than yours."

"Damn...don't be complacent, your idea is also flawed."

The earth side reluctantly conceded defeat.

His method is reasonable, but he neglected that if the river has tributaries, then this method will be difficult to implement.Although there are only six tributaries at present, if you look at them one by one, you may not know what branches are in the tributaries that you think are the main tributaries.

"It's not convincing to just take advantage of words. We will start to act after we find something good to fill our stomachs."

"Huh? No need to eat, I can continue now..."

Earthwork would rather not eat by himself and spend less time with this guy.

Takasugi Shinsuke glanced at Hijikata, saw Hijikata's dry lips because he hadn't eaten all morning, and said in a strong tone.

"I'm hungry."

"You can't bear it?"

"never."

Hijikata glared at Takasugi Shinsuke angrily, but Takasugi Shinsuke ignored him at all, but went under the tree to look for the branches that fell on the ground.Thinking of how long the next journey to find the exit would last, he had no choice but to try to convince himself to compromise.

Takasugi Shinsuke picked up a bare branch, weighed it in his hands, and then went straight to the river.

The earth side hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Where are you going?"

Takasugi Shinsuke answered without turning his head.

"Fork fish."

Hijikata looked around in trouble.Indeed, there are not many edible things. Although there is a large cluster of nude-colored mushrooms growing under the damp tree roots exposed to the ground, he doesn't know the difference between poisonous mushrooms and edible mushrooms at all, so he didn't dare to pick them.Anyway, the forest here is lush and the birds are singing non-stop. There should be one or two nests of bird eggs. The earthwork chose to wander around under various trees to find the target bird's nest.

In this way, after finding edible food around them separately, the two gathered by the river and set up a fire.

Hijikata found a sharp stone, disemboweled the yellow croakers that Shinsuke Takasugi forked, and took out their intestines. After cleaning the internal organs, he began to concentrate on grilling the fish.

Shinsuke Takasugi sat aside and stuffed a bunch of washed nude-colored fungi into the belly of the fish through the incision.

"Hey! What are you doing!! Isn't this unedible? How much do you hate eating fish?"

Hijikata was enraged by Takasugi Shinsuke's actions, and grabbed Takasugi Shinsuke's lapel and roared.

"Be quiet, it's fine."

Takasugi Shinsuke said calmly, looking straight at Hijikata, as if to prove his affirmation.

Hijikata was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of how this guy had participated in the war against barbarians before, and had a certain understanding of wild life. Since he said so confidently that there is no problem, then he should be able to trust this guy Takasugi!Anyway, looking at Takasugi Shinsuke's performance these days, it doesn't mean to harm him, it's better to say that he saved him a few times, and, more importantly... these mushrooms also look delicious.

"Really, I don't care about it. Let's talk about it first. It will be baked in a while. You can taste the taste before you say it."

"It doesn't matter to me anyway."

The result was really as Takasugi Shinsuke said, there was no problem.After the guy ate it, his face was still normal, and there was nothing wrong with it, so Tufang also calmed down and ate the fish and mushrooms, and then dug out the cooked bird eggs from the soil, and prepared to take them on the road.

"Hey, Takasugi, are we going this way?"

As soon as Hijikata, who was walking in front, turned his head, he saw Shinsuke Takasugi squatting behind him, not knowing what he was doing.

"What are you doing?! If you don't hurry up, it's going to be dark...... Eh?"

Hijikata felt troubled and walked back, and as soon as he got close to Takasugi Shinsuke, he found that Takasugi Shinsuke looked a little strange.

"...Songyang... Teacher..."

Hearing Shinsuke Takasugi's nonsense, Hijikata couldn't help but take a closer look curiously.

Shinsuke Takasugi was holding a green frog, talking to the struggling frog with excitement.

"Teacher! It's you! I thought I was wrong just now, but I didn't expect... are you still alive?"

Earth Fang froze like a bolt from the blue.

Oops... Takasugi Jin helped him... he actually has a frog fetish!
