Ogata picked up the map Soumi had drawn and looked at it carefully.
Although the map drawn by Zong Hai is simple, it contains everything that should be included.
Ogata noticed that there was a thin black line on the map drawn by Zonghai, so he pointed at the black line and asked Zonghai:
"Zong Hai, is this black line the Linong River you just mentioned?"
"That's right." Zong Hai smiled and nodded, "The Linong River is the most important river in our Die Island."
"There were originally five villages on Butterfly Island, and the daily water for these five villages was drawn from the Linong River. Therefore, the Linong River is regarded as the 'lifeline' of the island."
"The shogunate's researchers probably set up their base on the banks of the Linong River for the convenience of getting water."
"Zonghai." Atachi asked on the side, "Have you ever been to the camp they left behind?"
"I went to see it once after the researchers and soldiers of the shogunate fled the island in panic."
"But I just took a rough look around that time, and didn't check in detail what they left behind."
Ogata and Atachi looked at each other.
"Ah Yi." Ah Ding asked, "How do you say it?"
"What else can I say?" Ogata responded as he put the map Soumi drew for them into his arms, "Of course we went there to have a look. They might have left a ship there - just this possibility.
It’s enough for us to go there.”
…
…
Ogata and Omachi's clothes, which were full of strange smells, were immediately washed after they were taken off yesterday - of course, Atachi was responsible for all the washing.
Ogata pushed all his clothes, including the crotch cloth, to Atachi to be washed.
Amachi was very dissatisfied with Ogata's behavior of pushing all the clothes on her to wash. She protested loudly, saying why should he push all the clothes to her to wash.
And after Ogata glared at her and said in a deep voice, "Whose fault do you think my clothes got wet because of?", Amachi, who was momentarily speechless, obediently put away everything.
With a rebellious attitude, he picked up Ogata and her clothes, and silently washed their clothes by the well.
After half a day of drying, their clothes were barely dry.
After changing back into his own clothes, Ogata subconsciously smelled his own clothes - especially the part of his haori back.
"Stop smelling it!" A Machi, who was blushing slightly, growled angrily, "There's no smell anymore! Let's go quickly!"
…
…
According to Sokai, there is a distance of three miles between Tenmanji Temple and the residence of the shogunate researchers.
Three miles is not a short distance, so both of them were prepared for a long journey. The bamboo tube used as a kettle was filled with clean water from the well of Tenmanji Temple, food, weapons and so on.
Everything is fully prepared.
"Speaking of which - today is already our third day on the island..."
Amachi, who was walking side by side, continued to chat with Ogata in order to pass the boring time on the road.
"Now that I think about it carefully: it seems that we haven't met many other prisoners since we landed on the island."
"It's normal not to meet other prisoners." Ogata responded, "This butterfly island is so big that everyone is scattered and can't meet each other. It's normal."
"It's okay if we can't meet other prisoners." A-Cing said in a half-joking tone, "Among the prisoners who landed on the island this time, there is an extremely dangerous guy. It's best for us to stay as far away from that guy as possible."
"Dangerous guy? Who?"
"Ayi, when the officials pushed all the prisoners, including you and me, out of the prison and escorted them to the beach, didn't you see a very tall man wearing monk's robes, more than 7 feet tall?
"
Hearing what Atachi said, Ogata began to recall it carefully.
"Listening to what you said...I seem to have some impression...it seems that there is indeed such a number one person."
Ogata remembered - when he was being escorted to the beach and preparing to listen to Inamori's speech, he did see a very conspicuous guy quite far away from him.
The reason why that guy is conspicuous is because - that guy is too tall and too big.
Ogata's height is approximately 170CM when converted into earth length units.
Such a height may not be a big deal on modern earth, but in this era, he already belongs to the ranks of "tall men".
And the big guy he saw on the beach was the tallest person Ogata had ever seen since he came to this era.
That big guy is at least 2 meters tall.
Such a height is incredible even on modern earth, let alone in this era.
In the Edo period, such a height was considered a super giant.
That guy is not only tall, but also quite strong.
Sitting on the beach, it looks like a hill. Just looking at it with the naked eye has an amazing visual impact.
Although that guy was quite conspicuous due to his size, Ogata didn't pay much attention to that guy.
No matter which country or era we live in, there are strange people whose body shapes are different from ordinary people.
For example, during the Wang Mang period of the Han Dynasty, there was a strange man called Ju Wuba. According to historical records, Ju Wuba was about 2.4 meters tall.
Ogata only regarded the giant man he saw on the beach as a strange person who grew extremely tall due to genes or other reasons like Juguba, and did not pay much attention to this man.
Seeing that Ogata didn't seem to recognize that person, A-Machi said in a helpless tone:
"Ayi...do you never read wanted posters?"
"That's right." Ogata didn't hide anything, "I never read wanted posters, and I don't live on bounties, so I never have the motivation to see this kind of thing. I also never pay attention to what other powerful things are in the world.
the wanted."
After letting out a helpless sigh, Ating slowly said:
"With that height and the monk's robes... that guy should be the 'Monk' Isjun."
"'Monk' Issun? Is this guy powerful?"
"According to rumors - quite powerful."
"I don't know much about 'Monk' Ichun either."
"I only know some rumors about the 'Monk' Ichun."
"It is said that Ichijun was originally a monk at Saishoji Temple in Osaka."
"Originally, apart from being much taller than the others, there is nothing special about Ichijun. He is just an ordinary monk."
"Until one day, Yichun had a dispute with a pilgrim over some trivial matters, and finally accidentally beat the pilgrim to death."
"It was also from this incident that Ichijun discovered that fighting and killing people is far more exciting and interesting than chanting Buddha's name."
"From then on, Ichun embarked on a path of no return."
"Not only did he escape from Saihoji Temple, but he also stole a naginata from Saihoji Temple that was used to protect the temple."
"Wandering around, stirring up disputes and killing people everywhere."
"Relying on his huge body and strength, he brutally killed countless innocent people."
"And that guy actually has some martial arts talent."
"In the years of fighting, he originally knew nothing about the naginata, but he actually created a brand new sword technique."
"That's all I know about 'Monk' Ichun."
"I didn't expect that even he would be captured on this island..."
Tell the truth after dreaming
Some book friends asked me - will the rest of this book be all about fighting cannibals?
Of course not! This book is not a "zombie novel", so how could the main plot be about fighting "cannibals".
In fact, you can stop looking at cannibals as "enemies". You can look at "cannibals" as [background]. I hope you can understand my statement.
My positioning of this book has always been "a samurai with a magical aura". Ogata's enemies will only be humans from the beginning to the end. Fighting with the sky, the earth, and the shogunate is endless fun.
Instead of a "King of Ghosts" or "Lord of Ghosts" popping up later...
