I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Lin asked Jiangong to take A Zhu down to rest first, and asked Jiangong to go to the kitchen later to count how many ingredients were left. She wanted to make some delicious food at noon today to replenish the poor girl's long-tortured body.

After Jiangong left with Azhu, Lin got up and left the room.

As soon as he left the room, he saw Yuanichi, Mucun and others waiting outside the room for news.

"My lord." Mucun asked first, "How was the result? Did you ask anything? I just heard that girl crying loudly."

Lin did not answer Mucun's question, but first said in an unquestionable tone:

"Our next itinerary has to be changed. We will not return to Owari for the time being. After that, we will go to Osaka in Kansai first."

After finishing speaking, Lin turned her head and looked westward.

Her sharp gaze seemed to penetrate thousands of miles to see Osaka in Kansai.

"I didn't expect that." Lin whispered in a low voice that only she could hear clearly, "I actually got information about immortality in such a muddle."

about a month later

Owari, somewhere

"Then, in order to practice holding our breath, we have to stick our face into a washbasin filled with water every day, and use this silly method to train."

"Is it actually using a washbasin for training?" A Zhu complained very timely.

"After all, it's convenient." Ah Ding said, "Training also requires cost. It's a waste of time to go to the river to practice holding your breath."

"Hey, you two don't chat for now." Ogata, who was sitting on the radish, said to Acho and Azuki, who were sitting on the grapes next to each other, "The ground in front of you is full of potholes, be careful not to bite Tongue."

Don't talk while the horse is walking over potholes as long as you want to keep your tongue from getting bitten by your teeth. This is common knowledge that every horseman knows.

It has been more than a month since it landed in northern Oshu.

For more than a month, Ogata and others headed south all the way, heading straight to Owari.

The past month has been peaceful,

Although there is no human skin mask, Ogata has been using bamboo hats and other things to cover his face, and he has not encountered any troubles caused by the exposure of his true identity.

And along the way, I didn't meet any of Iga's remnants.

With Ogata's permission, Azuki followed Ogata and Ading along the way, and sold the straw sandals and "Lucky Strength" training manual wherever he went as always.

However, so far, Ogata has not encountered half of the remnants of Iga who were attracted by Azuki

Azhu is a cheerful child, and at the same time, she is also a good child. Whatever Ogata asks her to do, she will do it. She has never disobeyed Ogata, and has never caused any trouble for Ogata.

In simple terms, she is a rather worry-free child.

This long journey of more than a month also made Ogata, A-cho and Azuki gradually get acquainted.

Since everyone is currently in a companion relationship, it is naturally impossible for Ah-machi to keep his identity as the "Hara Shiranui Rinin" a secret.

When A Zhu first joined the group, A Ding told A Zhu that she was also a ninja.

After learning that A-Machi and her are both female ninjas, Azuki expressed his excitement: Regarding Shiranui, she said that she only heard a few words from her grandfather, so she didn't know much about this ninja.

Azuki, who is very curious about A-Machi, who is also a female ninja, and Shiranui, often chats with A-Machi about various issues related to Shiranui along the way just like before.

Although A-Machi didn't have a good impression of Shiranui, she didn't keep secret about her previous experience in Shiranui.

After Azuki asked various questions related to Shiranui, Acho would patiently answer them one by one, occasionally telling stories about his life in Shiranui.

And A-Machi is indeed very talented in storytelling or water stories.

We have been traveling together for more than a month, and Ah-Ming's "Once Upon a Time in Shiranui" hasn't finished her story. It seems that she just talked about the story when she was 2 years old.

Although A-cho told her past for a long time, she also told her past in a tortuous and wonderful way while she was telling the story, so that A-Zhu still wants to stop her past.

Now, Azuki pesters Acho almost every day, asking Acho to tell her past stories quickly.

After Ogata told A-Machi and Azuku not to speak, the two obediently kept their mouths shut.

It wasn't until after passing through the potholes that Azhu seemed to have just held his breath in the water. He opened his mouth and took a long breath, and then asked Ogata:

"Master Yidaozhai, how long will we have to go before we reach the village where your friend is?"

"Soon." Ogata replied, "I'll be there in a while."

When Azuki just joined their team, Ogata told Azuki what they were going to do next and went to Owari to find his group of well-connected friends and ask if they knew where there were powerful swordsmiths.

Ogata and the others are now heading towards the village that has received the favor of the gourd house and has a close relationship with the gourd house.

The headquarters of the Gourd House is located on the mountain behind the village, and the village is somewhat similar to the outpost of the Gourd House.

Ogata had been to that village twice before.The first time was after leaving Butterfly Island, at the invitation of Jian Gong and Mu Cun, to visit their Hulu House headquarters.

The second time was when I was invited to rest with them before leaving Kyoto for Edo.

The two visits to the Calabash House headquarters are of great significance to Ogata.

Being a guest for the first time, Ogata got acquainted with Genichi, Lin and others.

As for the second visit, let alone.The second time as a guest, both for Ogata and for A-Machi, has extraordinary meaning.

After crossing a very familiar mountain dirt road, finally a village like a paradise appeared in front of Ogata.

"We're here!" Ogata shouted to Azhu who was beside him, and then lightly knocked on the horse's belly to speed up Radish's horse slightly.

"Master Ogata, why are you here?" The head of the village who went out to greet him looked at Ogata who had just dismounted in front of him in surprise.

"Village Chief." Ogata took off the bamboo hat on his head and said with a smile, "Long time no see."

Ogata has been here twice before and after, so almost everyone in the village knows Ogata and knows that Ogata is a distinguished guest of Gourd House.

After a brief exchange of greetings with the village chief, Xu went straight to the point:

"Village Chief, Miss Lin, are they here?"

"Master Kinoshita and they are not here." The village head shook his head, "Since you went to Edo together, they haven't come back."

"Haven't come back?" Ogata asked in surprise.

All kinds of doubts floated in Ogata's mind

How long has it been since they went to Edo together to deal with Shiranui?

Have they been in Edo all this time?Or did you go somewhere else?

"Master Ogata, do you need to talk to Mr. Kinoshita and the others?" the village chief asked back.

"Yeah." Ogata scratched his hair, "It is true that I need to find them."

After hesitating for a while, Ogata tentatively asked the village chief, "Do you know where there is a good swordsmith?"

As expected, the village head shook his head.

The main duty of this village is to help the gourd house to look after the house, so Ogata also expected that most of them would not know any important information, so he was mentally prepared for the village chief's shake of his head.

In trouble

Ogata thought to himself.

Lin and the others are not looking for a good knifesmith

Before I knew it, it was already almost February, and 2 was almost over

Chapter 613 I'm Really Old! (flick the chain)【7000】

"Ayi." At this time, Ah Ding also asked Ogata, "Miss Lin and the others are not here, so what should we do now?"

After Ogata pondered for a moment, he turned his head and looked at the setting sun that was only a short distance away from the horizon.

"...Let's make preparations for the night now, and the rest will be discussed later."

After finishing speaking, Ogata turned his gaze back to the village head in front of him.

"Village chief, can we stay in your village for one night? I can pay for your accommodation."

"Hahaha, no need, no need." The village chief smiled and waved his hands quickly, "You are Mr. Kinoshita's distinguished guests, how can we charge you money. It doesn't cost much to keep you overnight."

Ogata chatted with the village chief, seeing that the village chief insisted on not charging the accommodation fee, Ogata stopped being pretentious and entangled, and accepted the village chief's kindness frankly.

"By the way, the village chief." When he was about to follow the village chief into the village, Ogata asked suddenly, "Where is Xuanren?"

"Oh, Doctor Xuanren, he just happened to go to a nearby village to treat people."

"How is he doing now?"

"He is doing very well now." The smile on the village chief's face became thicker, "He is kind and has excellent medical skills. People in our village and several nearby villages like him very much. The gifts given to him for his medical skills can be said to be innumerable, and he has gained a little weight now."

Hearing what the village chief said, Ogata was secretly delighted that Xuanren was living a good life now.

Since last summer, after Lin and the others rescued Xuanren, who was in a whole body because of offending the powerful, they brought Xuanren to this village with Xuanren's consent, and allowed him to settle down here.

The last time I met Xuanren was the eve of leaving for Edo last year.

While feeling happy for Xuanren, Ogata also felt very lucky.

Fortunately, Xuanren is not in the village right now.

If Xuanren asked him whether he saw his master Xuanzheng and senior brother Xuanzhi in Ezodi, Ogata really didn't know how to answer him...

Now that Xuanren happened to be not in the village, Ogata no longer had to worry about how to answer Xuanren's question.

……

……

that day, night

"call……"

After immersing his whole body in the tub filled with hot water, Ogata couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief.

When was the last time you soaked in hot water?Ogata didn't remember at all.

He just remembered that they had been living and sleeping for a long time.

"Master Ogata." At this moment, the village chief's voice sounded from outside the bathroom, "Is the water temperature appropriate?"

"Hmm." Ogata shouted towards the outside of the bathroom, "The water temperature is just right, thank you for helping me boil the hot water."

"Ho ho." The village chief smiled, "You're welcome. Then you can go clubbing slowly, and I won't bother you."

After finishing speaking, the village chief's footsteps from near to far can be heard outside the bathroom.

There is no house in the village that can accommodate the three of Ogata and the others at the same time, so the three of Ogata and the others were separated. Ogata and Atachi lived in the house of the village chief with the largest house, and Azhu lived next door to the village chief. the house of that family.

The condition of the village chief's house is quite good. The house is spacious enough. Even if Ogata and Atachi live in, it will not feel crowded. The house also has a small bathroom.

The bathroom in the village chief's house was the most commonly used bathroom by commoners in the Edo period: a small, square room with a bathtub in which a person sat.

There are small windows for ventilation on one side of the room.

Once the small window for ventilation and the door of the bathroom are closed, people outside the bathroom will not be able to see what is inside the bathroom.

Below the tub is a stove.

The burner for the stove is outside the bathroom.

When you want to take a hot bath, you only need to ignite the stove, and then let people outside the bathroom continue to add firewood to the stove through the stove.

The village head treated Ogata and the others kindly, not only prepared a sumptuous dinner for them, but also spontaneously helped Ogata and the others to heat up a hot bath.

The village head and the others were so enthusiastic that Ogata felt a little embarrassed.

Ogata leaned his head back against the edge of the bathtub, closed his eyes, and relaxed his body and mind.

He wanted to just let his head go blank and relax his brain, but the more he wanted to relax, the more he couldn't help but start thinking.

Besides Lin and the others, who else might know where there are powerful swordsmiths...

A big question mark appeared in Ogata's mind.

He wanted to seek help from Lin and the others, who must have a lot of connections, and asked them if they knew where there was a good swordsmith, but who knew that none of the people in the gourd house were in Owari...

It is not realistic to stay here and wait for Lin and the others to come back. After all, God knows when they will come back.

There is no other way but to change the plan and ask other people for help.

However, an embarrassing thing happened, Ogata's contacts were very narrow.

Ogata didn't know too many friends...

Since leaving the Hirose Domain, Ogata has basically only had a deep friendship with the Huluya group...

Besides the people from Calabash House, who else do I know who should have a very wide network of contacts...
