The wall outside Fenghe Village has a gate for entry and exit.
And this door happens to be located not far from Ogata and others.
Under the order of Kinnosuke, this door was slowly opened in order to receive the return of Ogata and others.
Like dragging a dead dog, Ogata dragged Sotaro along the opened door back to Toyawa Village.
As for Mamiya and others, they supported the three villagers who had been rescued and followed Ogata closely.
Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, Makimura, under the instruction of Ogata and Mamiya, recovered all the swords of the prisoners who had been killed by Ogata.
As soon as he passed through the gate, Oubon saw Konnosuke, Atachi and others who greeted him at the gate.
"Lord Konnosuke." Ogata took the lead in introducing to Konosuke the Mamiya and others behind him, "These people are my companions."
As soon as Ogata finished speaking, before Chinosuke had time to respond, several sobs filled with rich joy sounded from the villagers behind Chinosuke.
Then several villagers of different genders and ages rushed out of the crowd and rushed towards the three villagers who were being supported by Mamiya and others.
These people must be the relatives of these three villagers.
Seeing that their relatives were successfully rescued, it is reasonable for them to have such a reaction.
Although none of the three villagers were injured in critical areas, some of the injuries on their bodies had begun to suppurate, and they were in urgent need of treatment.
"Quick!" Kinnosuke shouted to the villagers behind him, "Go and get Leping ready to diagnose and treat the injured!"
"You guys!" Kinnosuke called the names of the young people beside him, "Hurry and help those three children to the clinic in Leping!"
Having said this, Konosuke paused.
A bit of cruelty flashed across his face, and he added:
"By the way, take that bastard Sotaro to Leping's clinic too! We can't let that guy die so easily!"
Based on what Kinnosuke said just now, it is not difficult to infer that Leping should be the village doctor of their Fenghe Village.
The top priority now is to get these three scarred young men to receive treatment.
A group of people carried the three young men, dragging Soutaro with them, and hurried to the clinic of their village doctor, Leping.
Leping, which had just received the notification, was already ready to receive the injured.
After asking everyone to put the three young men on the bed, Leping took a rough look at the injuries of the three men.
"... None of them are serious." After roughly checking the injuries of the three people, Leping said in a deep voice, "Just put some medicine on and rest for a while. You all can go out first."
"Well..." At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from the crowd outside the clinic, "I am also a doctor. Let me help."
As soon as the voice fell, the people gathered outside the clinic immediately separated to the left and right with the owner of the voice as the center. While revealing the figure of the owner of the voice, they also cast curious glances at this person.
The owner of this voice is none other than Matsumoto Kiyohito.
"Are you also a doctor?" Leping cast a doubtful look at Matsumoto.
"Yeah." Matsumoto nodded, "I can't say how superb my medical skills are, but I should be able to help more or less."
Having said this, Matsumoto paused. In order to dispel Leping and others' suspicion of him, Matsumoto pointed to Ogata beside him.
"I am this man's companion."
"Yes." Ogata also nodded at this time, "This person does know medical skills. If you let him help, the treatment should be faster."
Seeing that this person was the companion of the young man who had just rescued the three young men, most of the suspicion on the faces of the people around him disappeared immediately.
"...Okay." Leping nodded, "Then you can come and help. I don't have many medicinal materials and ointments left here, so you have to use them as sparingly as possible."
"Yeah. Leave it to me."
Ever since he met Mamiya and Makimura, Matsumoto has been timidly following them and seeking their protection. Now, after encountering a field that he is familiar with and good at, Matsumoto's face immediately glowed.
He had a different look, and a confident aura began to exude from his body.
…
…
It wasn't until these three young men and Sotaro were sent to the village doctor Leping's clinic, and Leping and Matsumoto were asked to start treatment, that Konnosuke felt as if a big stone had fallen from his heart. While taking a deep breath, he received
He asked everyone to leave the clinic, leaving Leping with a quiet treatment environment.
Then he began to formally thank Ogata.
And Kinnosuke's way of thanking him was quite solemn - he lay down directly on the ground and performed a doshazai on Ogata.
"Thank you very much for your help."
It wasn't just Konnosuke who thanked Ogata while sitting in Dogeza.
The relatives of the three young men all followed closely behind Kinnosuke and thanked Ogata with the most solemn Doge seat.
Ogata, who was not good at handling such situations, could only smile awkwardly while quickly telling Konnosuke that there was no need to pay such a big courtesy.
But in response to Ogata's words, Konnosuke remained unmoved at all. He maintained his seated posture, and after thanking Ogata several times, he finally stood up slowly.
At this time, almost all the villagers in Fenghe Village gathered together because they had received the news.
It wasn't until Konnosuke stood up that a villager finally asked Konnosuke:
"Kinnosuke-sama, who are these people?"
Konnosuke did not hide the identities of Ogata and others.
After all, at a time when the island has long been sealed off and Fenghe Village has built a wooden wall to seal itself off, no matter how you make it up, you can't make up a reasonable reason to explain the existence of Ogata and these strangers.
Kinnosuke directly stated that Ogata and others were also among the prisoners thrown to the island, but they were friends of Tenmanji Temple and friends of Toyowa Village.
When they learned that Ogata and others were among the prisoners thrown onto the island, some of the villagers showed fear.
But only some villagers are like this.
Ogata personally stepped forward just now, defeated Soutaro's gang, and rescued three villagers who were kidnapped by Soutaro. At the same time, Konnosuke personally said that they were friends, not enemies, so many villagers
He chose to believe his own eyes and Konnosuke's words, so not only did he not look at Ogata with fearful eyes, but he looked at Ogata with respect.
The villagers gathered around Ogata enthusiastically, as if they were welcoming heroes returning in triumph.
Keep shouting words like "thank you" and "thank you very much".
Ogata, who was not good at dealing with such battles, was at a loss and could only keep a dry smile with a bit of embarrassment on his face.
An old woman seemed to be a relative of one of the three villagers who were rescued by Ogata just now.
She squeezed to the front of Ogata and bowed to Ogata with excitement while shedding tears and thanking him.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you...um..."
The old woman kept saying her thanks, but midway through her words, her expression suddenly changed.
Ogata, who keenly noticed that the old woman seemed to be ill, immediately asked her in a concerned tone:
"What’s wrong with you……"
However, before Ogata could finish what he said, the old woman suddenly let out a "wow" sound, bent over, and started vomiting violently.
