After dinner, Yu Qiuping and Kondo Yasuo saw that the hostess's house was running low on firewood. Regardless of the hostess's objections, they went to the hill nearby to help the hostess chop some firewood back.
On the way up the mountain, Yu Qiuping held the somewhat bulky hatchet, looked at the simple samurai sword at Kondo Yasuzou's waist, and asked curiously: "Kangzhuang, I'm watching you dozen
Personally, everyone wears a katana?"
"Of course, we are samurai," Kondo Yasuo said proudly, "the katana is a symbol of samurai status." He shook his katana as he said it, and then turned around, revealing the other items on his waist.
A shorter dagger, "This is called ribashi, it is a shorter samurai sword, and it is also a symbol of samurai status."
"A long knife and a short knife, are they to prevent the long knife from being wielded when the terrain is narrow?" Yu Qiuping asked curiously.
"It should be so. I don't understand this very well. After all, my swordsmanship is not very good," Kondo Yasuo said with a smile. "Because I am a concubine, I have to help with chores most of the time. No
How long have you been practicing kendo?"
"Then...you Japanese samurai..." Yu Qiuping thought of the disgusting scenes he had seen in Japanese movies before and couldn't help but shuddered, "when committing seppuku..."
"Seppuku?" Kondo Yassou's expression suddenly became serious, "If conditions permit, I will use the sword. If it is inconvenient, I will use Ribashi to commit seppuku."
"Is that so?" Yu Qiuping nodded, "Okay, actually my question is."
"Can you lend me your katana to chop wood? This hatchet is too dull."
Yasuzo Kondo almost fainted.
The two of them were busy until the sun turned west, and the firewood basket on their backs was already full. In the end, Yu Qiuping failed to borrow Kondo Yasuso's katana to chop firewood. The dull knife made him very tired. Originally
I thought that in my previous life I loved physical exercise and was in good health. Who knew that chopping wood would be so tiring?
Yu Qiuping and Kondo Yasuzuo walked down the mountain talking and laughing. When they reached a hilltop where they could see the village, Kondo Yasuzuo suddenly stopped and the hatchet in his hand fell to the ground.
"What's wrong, Kangzhuang?" Yu Qiuping couldn't help but follow his dull gaze and look over.
I saw that the peaceful village, which was originally peaceful, was now in chaos. Several thatched houses were already on fire, and the thick smoke covered up the smoke that should have been there. The residents were leading their children in a confused manner.
People were running on the road in the village, shouting and screaming for help.
In the villages, samurai and ashigaru warriors with red papaya-patterned flags on their backs could be seen everywhere. They were laughing and cursing into every house, smashing, looting, and then dragging out the honest farmers and pressing them to the ground.
Then they robbed all the money in the house, and then set the house on fire. Many villagers who were fleeing were also caught by the ashigaru one by one. Anyone who wanted to resist was shot. The residents screamed and the ashigaru
The wild laughter mixed together was so harsh.
Yu Qiupei, who has played the "Nobunaga's Ambition" series of games countless times, recognized the family crest at a glance.
Oda papaya.
"What's going on!" Yu Qiuping, who had calmed down, almost roared and asked Kondo Yasuo, "Why are there Oda troops here! Why do they attack the common people! Those common people are not the enemy!"
Kondo Yasuo swallowed and explained with some seriousness, "This is called random arrest."
"Random arrest? What do you mean!" Yu Qiuping asked anxiously.
"Taira-kun came to Japan not long ago, so he may not know it," Kondo Yasumasa said with a serious expression. "During the war, when a daimyo, what people in the Ming Dynasty call a vassal king, invades the territory of another daimyo, he often condones it.
The ashigaru under his command wantonly destroyed the enemy's territory, burned, killed, looted, plundered the people's property, and coerced them to leave. This is called indiscriminate arrest."
"That! But!" Yu Qiuping watched dumbfoundedly as the peaceful village just now turned into a hell on earth, "Wasn't this the territory of the Oda family before? They didn't even have their own..."
"Now that they are controlled by the Imagawa family, they naturally don't care." Kondo Yasuo tugged at Yu Qiupei's sleeves, "Let's go, let's leave quickly. The fact that the Oda family dared to disperse the army and make random arrests shows that there are many people around here.
There are activities of the Oda Army, it is too unsafe for us here, hurry back to Takake City."
Yu Qiuping's Adam's apple moved up and down. Dazzling bloodstains and corpses could be seen everywhere on the village streets. Such a tragic situation made it difficult for this high school student, who was only 17 years old, to accept it. When he first saw the tragedy in front of him, it was more than ten years later.
The boy who lived in peace still subconsciously regarded him as a picture on the TV news. But Kondo Yasuso's words made him realize that he himself was in a crisis. If he was not careful, he would die.
Death, this extremely distant thing, is suddenly so close.
He felt his stomach churning and his body began to tremble slightly. He wished he could turn around and run away into the woods now, never to look back again, as if there were already several fierce Oda troops chasing behind him.
"Look over there," Kondo Yasuo pointed to the farmer they had just settled at, which was on the westernmost side of the village. "There's no fire in the house, so it's probably fine. Our horses are tied there." Kondo Yasuo said softly, "We are now
Hurry up and get the horse, then leave immediately without stopping. Otherwise we will die if we are overtaken."
"Okay." Yu Qiuping responded feebly. In a panic, he had almost lost the ability to think independently, and he just obeyed Kondo Yasso's wishes dully.
"That farmer has already escaped, right?" He murmured as if to comfort himself.
"I hope so." Kondo Yasuo didn't have the intention to say more, so he just responded.
After they came down from the mountain, they kept walking hunched behind the bushes and quietly reached the farmer's backyard. Opening the fence and walking into the backyard, they could already see the place where they tied their horses. Across the wall was the farmer's house.
Home.
Just get on the horse and go.
Those Oda troops have no cavalry and cannot catch up with us.
It will be safe soon.
The Oda army is gathered in the center of the village, no one will come here.
Yu Qiuping's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his heart beat rapidly. He kept muttering "It's okay" silently, trying to calm down, but in vain.
Suddenly, there was a scream in the house. This was followed by the mistress crying and begging for mercy, and the two little girls crying.
Yu Qiuping's heart suddenly tightened. He and Kondo Yasuo turned slightly sideways where the horses were tied, and saw what was happening indoors through the gap between the wall and the door.
There was blood dripping from the corner of the mouth of a man I had never met before. There was a big hole in his chest. His yellowed white clothes were stained red. His right foot was covered with a thick bandage. He was probably the male owner of the house.
It seems that I can no longer live.
Moving your eyes slightly to the left, you can see an Oda family ashigaru wearing bamboo hemp armor, holding a little girl in one hand, and casually smashing it against the wall next to it. The older child whimpered and stopped making any sound.
, the smaller one covered his head and kept crying, and was kicked by the ashigaru again, making no sound.
The hostess of the room was currently being pressed on the table where they had lunch. Her upper body clothes had been stripped off, and her breasts were pressed onto the table, squeezing out a subtle shape. On her smooth back, there was a thick
With his hand, he pressed the hostess firmly on the table. The trousers on his lower body had been pulled down to his feet. The owner of that hand was also taking off his trousers and stood behind the hostess's buttocks, shaking his body back and forth roughly. The hostess
He kept howling in pain, and tears kept falling in big drops. At this time, another Oda family ashigaru also clapped his hands, walked to the hostess's mouth, took off his pants, and blocked the rain and autumn peace.
Kondo Yasuso's view. Then, the Ashigaru yelled a few words that Yu Qiuping couldn't understand, raised the hostess's head a little, and stood up suddenly.
"Damn, these beasts," Kondo Yasuo cursed harshly in a low voice, pressing the handle of the knife with his other hand, "Pira-kun, let's rush up and kill them."
However, he received no response.
Yu Qiuping's eyes were completely red, and every part of his body was trembling continuously. It was like a big clock was beating continuously in his mind, nothing could be heard, and it was buzzing. He could hardly feel the touch of his limbs.
The male protagonist's dark eyes were staring blankly, the wound that was constantly oozing blood, the two young girls lying next to the wall, and the Oda family's ashigaru bamboo spear resting in the corner with blood stains on the tip, all...
It shocked Yu Qiuping's fragile nerves.
Murder, rape.
Two murderers.
Me, what should I do.
Suddenly, he felt a throbbing pain in his inner thigh. He turned around blankly and found that Kondo Yasuso pinched him. When he raised his head, he only saw Kondo Yasuso's determined eyes.
"Go up now. Maybe the two little girls and the mistress can be saved." He whispered in Yu Qiuping's ear, "I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it by myself, so you come up with me."
Kondo Yasuzhuang's words made Yu Qiuping tremble even more, and his lips turned pale. Witnessing this hell was already unbearable for the young man's spirit, let alone rushing into it.
"I'm going to die..." His lips kept trembling, and he said in a trembling voice as thin as a mosquito.
Death. What is death?
Lose your body, lose your memory, lose your spirit. Nothing is left. You can't even remember anything about your own existence in this world.
I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die.
"Run." He tried to get up tremblingly, but failed, "Stop riding, the horse will make noise, let's hide in the woods..."
