The next day, when the villagers of Fukuchi Village got up early and walked through the dirt road in front of the shrine to work in the fields, they saw that the ronin who had occupied their shrine had already gotten up and was practicing sword skills in the open space in front of the shrine.
However, what puzzles the villagers is that he seems to have only practiced one movement for more than ten years.
Villagers passed by the shrine in an endless stream, and no one noticed that the Ronin in front of them had actually changed. This was of course because Xu Rui had changed his face very well and made his image as consistent as possible with the Ronin.
, on the other hand, it was also because the ronin had almost no contact with the villagers.
Perhaps the only person in the village who has had contact with ronin is the village chief Takeo Fukuda.
However, Takeo Fukuda's official contact with the ronin was when the ronin first occupied the shrine. He found three ronin from Tulip Town and prepared to drive away this blind guy. However, the final result was tragic.
Three ronin who spent a lot of money to find them from the town were killed with just one blow.
Fortunately, he is a ronin. Killing and being killed are normal, otherwise he, the village chief, would be in trouble.
After that incident, Takeo Fukuda gave up the idea of driving people away, and everything has been peaceful ever since until today.
More than ten years have passed, and Takeo Fukuda has also entered old age from the prime of his life. He has also looked past the ronin occupying the village shrine. Every time he passes the shrine, he will say hello to the ronin. Of course, he rarely does.
In response, this ronin seemed to be completely immersed in the world of kendo.
On this day, Takeo Fukuda drove the bullock cart to the town to buy supplies. When he passed the shrine, he said hello, but he could only say to the ronin from a distance: "Hey, where are you practicing your sword?"
The ronin who were practicing swordsmanship did not have regular meetings as usual.
Takeo Fukuda didn't care either. Just as he was about to drive his ox cart past, something unexpected happened.
I saw the ronin who was still standing on the same spot, suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed without any warning. The laughter was so loud that it scared the birds in the forest. Takeo Fukuda lived sixty years
He had never heard such loud laughter before, it almost shattered his eardrums.
Takeo Fukuda couldn't help but worry. Isn't this guy crazy?
Takeo Fukuda knows this guy's skills. Once he really goes crazy, he will be in big trouble! Even if there are more than a hundred men in the village, old and young, they are no match for him!
The ronin had no scruples and continued to throw his hands to the sky, looking up to the sky and laughing: "I succeeded, hahaha, I made it, I finally made it, hahahaha, I finally made it!"
Hearing this, Takeo Fukuda couldn't help but breathe a little sigh of relief.
It seems that this guy is not crazy yet, it seems that he has lost control of his emotions because he has already mastered his sword skills.
But the next moment, Takeo Fukuda's heart immediately started to feel anxious again, because the guy actually shouted loudly all the way and flew towards the creek at the entrance of the village.
There is a creek at the entrance of Fudi Village. All the drinking water in the village comes from this creek. The eldest girls and young daughters-in-law in the village also come here to wash clothes. Although it is only early in the morning, they gather at the creek to wash clothes.
There were more than twenty girls and young wives, and they were chattering and it was really lively.
Seeing the ronin running towards the creek where the eldest girls and young wives were gathering, Takeo Fukuda became anxious.
"Hey, stop, stop quickly, stop!" Takeo Fukuda waved and shouted repeatedly, but the ronin turned a deaf ear and continued to rush towards the creek ahead. Takeo Fukuda panicked and quickly turned around.
The bullock cart went to chase the Ronin, but the old bull was stubborn and refused to turn around.
Takeo Fukuda had no choice but to get out of the car and chase him on foot.
The ronin just ran forward, but the eldest girl and the young daughter-in-law who were washing clothes by the stream heard Takeo Fukuda's shout. They looked up and saw the ronin occupying the shrine at the entrance of the village running towards them.
This scare really scared the shit out of me. There were more than 20 older girls, and the younger daughter-in-law immediately ran away and didn't even bother to pick up her clothes.
As for the ronin, he quickly rushed to the creek and jumped into a pool with a pop.
In order to make his identity as seamless as possible, Xu Rui can endure the stench, but this does not mean that he likes the smell. Now that it is getting bright and he can finally take the next step, Xu Rui
I don’t want to wait any longer, I just want to wash off the dirt and bad luck on my body as soon as possible.
"Puff!" Xu Rui jumped into the creek.
More than five minutes later, when Takeo Fukuda was panting and chased him to the creek, he happened to see Ronin shaving his face with a sharp dagger, and half of his face had been shaved clean, leaving half of his face exposed.
He has a very handsome face. In his entire life, Takeo Fukuda has never seen such a handsome young man.
Xu Rui, who was shaving in the creek, saw Takeo Fukuda coming over. From the information collected by Jun Nakamura, he certainly knew that this was the village chief of Fudi Village. He immediately greeted him and said: "Mr. Futian, for more than ten years,
I’m sorry for bothering you, and I would like to sincerely apologize to you. I’m extremely sorry.”
After saying that, Xu Rui nodded slightly to Takeo Fukuda.
"Huh?" Takeo Fukuda was stunned when he heard this. Is this the sun rising in the west?
He looked up in confusion, only to find that the morning sun was still hanging in the eastern sky and had not come out from the west. So what was going on? The sword-chicking ronin, who was always solitary and did not have contact with the villagers, actually took the initiative to say hello to him, and that was all he did.
Express your sincere apology to him for disturbing their village over the years?
Takeo Fukuda was stunned and didn't know how to respond.
Xu Rui ignored him and continued to concentrate on shaving the fake beard on his face. These fake beards were actually just planted on his face last night. After shaving, he then trimmed his hair, which was as messy as an afro.
The hair was also planted yesterday. In order to deceive others, Xu Rui plunged into the depths of the stream.
Soon, a young warrior with a standard samurai hairstyle and a smooth face emerged from the stream.
Then, Xu Rui began to scrub away the dirt on his body with the soap left by a certain little wife. Of course, these dirt were not accumulated over the years, but Xu Rui mixed a special potion with oil and applied it on his body last night.
, there is almost no difference from the dirt accumulated over the years, at least the difference cannot be distinguished without sampling and analysis.
After washing for a long time, Xu Rui finally washed off the dirt on his body, then rummaged through a pile of clothes left by an older girl or younger daughter-in-law by the stream to find a clean kimono, and put it on casually, making it wet.
As soon as we got ashore, Takeo Fukuda stood by and watched from the beginning to the end, but he never said a word.
Because this change was so big, it really surprised Takeo Fukuda.
What's this called? It's like a blink of an eye, and the old hen turns into a duck!
After landing, Xu Rui bowed to Takeo Fukuda and said respectfully: "Village Chief, thank you for your shelter and support over the past ten years. I will definitely repay you if I have the opportunity in the future."
It was only then that Takeo Fukuda finally came to his senses, waved his hand and said: "Well, it's nothing, it's nothing, we didn't help you at all."
After a pause, Takeo Fukuda asked again: "I still don't know, what is your surname?"
Xu Rui paused again and said respectfully: "Village chief, my name is Nakajo Shuichi, please call me Shuichi."
"I don't dare, I don't dare." Takeo Fukuda shook his hands. At this time, no matter how stupid he was, he could still see that Shuichi Nakajo was really a reclusive swordsman who had been hiding in their blessed place for more than ten years.
Village, most likely to practice some peerless sword move. Judging from his reaction today, he should have mastered the peerless sword move.
Now that I have mastered the sword moves, is it time for Shuichi Nakajo to leave?
At that moment, Takeo Fukuda asked tentatively: "Nakajo...kun, are you leaving our village?"
"Hai." Xu Rui felt very tired in his heart, but he still looked like a real devil on the surface. He paused again and said, "I have just understood the true meaning of swordsmanship. Next, I should abide by the ancestor's instructions.
To challenge the masters of today's various schools and make Nakajo Itto-ryu famous in the world again."
"Thank you again to the village chief and the villagers for their care." Xu Rui nodded for the fourth time, then straightened up and walked away. After a while, his tall figure disappeared on the path beside the stream.
…
Almost at the same time, at the crematorium in Nagata Town.
Nakamura Shun personally drove the car to the gate of the corpse crematorium. When the old man guarding the gate saw that it was Nakamura Shun who was coming, he quickly stepped forward and opened the door. He nodded and bowed and said, "Section Chief, why did you come here in person?"
Nakamura Jun cursed and said angrily: "There were no people in the class originally, but the director temporarily borrowed several of them. In the end, there was really no one, so I had to bring them here myself." With that, Nakamura Jun had already got out of the car.
, while opening the trunk, he said to the old man guarding the door, "Come here and help me lift it."
The old man walked to the back of the car and saw two bloody bodies lying in the trunk.
What is surprising is that when he saw this corpse, the old man was not surprised at all. Instead, he curled his lips and said as if he was used to it: "Another one died? And it was split into two pieces?"
Nakamura Shun said angrily: "Last night another ronin dueled in the street in the countryside of Nagata Town, and one of them died."
The old man shook his head and said: "These rogues are really... ignorant. They know how to compete with swords all day long. Killing people is like killing chickens. The government should really recruit them into the army and send them to the Chinese battlefield. Even if they end up dead, they will still die."
, it’s better than letting them kill each other all day long, it’s too abominable.”
