Chapter 539 The prelude to the new legend - the opening! [Explosion 10,000! 】
That day was very heavy for the executioner and the Ainu people of Heyezhe.
But that day was also the first day the legend began.
In later generations, a certain swordsman wrote a casual comment while studying this period of history.
*******
*******
Ogata listened quietly to Chanupu's kind advice.
When Chanup finished speaking, Ogata slowly responded and said in a low voice:
"Mr. Chanup, I also had some accidents here. I might not be able to leave here right away..."
After finishing speaking, a hint of helplessness appeared on Ogata's face.
"Accident? What happened?" Chanup frowned.
Ogata told Chanupu in a concise and concise manner that Omachi was injured and unable to move for a short period of time.
"You have to lie in bed for a month...?" Chanup looked shocked.
"That's what the doctor named Kunoya said." Ogata sighed softly.
"Then...Mr. Majima, what are you going to do next?"
Ogata did not immediately respond to Chanup.
After lowering his head slightly and being silent for a moment, he said in a neither salty nor bland tone:
"Now let's take a step and see what happens."
After saying that, Ogata grabbed the Daishiten placed on the right side of his body.
"Mr. Chanup, I have already said everything I want to tell you."
"My wife is still in Kunoya's clinic. I want to return to my wife as soon as possible. So I resigned first."
"Thank you for your help tonight." Chanup once again paid a courtesy to Ogata, "If you need any help in the future, just come to me, and I will do my best to assist you and your father-in-law.
.”
Ogata stood up with his sword in hand, bowed in return to Chanupu, and then turned around and left without any nostalgia.
Chanupu and Yugami watched Ogata leave.
After Ogata's figure disappeared from their sight, Chanup turned his head and asked Yugami beside him in Ainu language:
"I still find it incredible that you and Mr. Majima actually know each other. Please tell me later how you met Mr. Majima."
"It's okay..." Tang Shen sighed softly, "But in fact, I only met Mr. Majima a few times, so we don't really know each other very well."
"Do you want to go and catch up with Mr. Majima later?"
"If I have the opportunity and time, I will go again." Tang Shen smiled bitterly, "I just said that Mr. Majima and I are not very familiar with each other. To put it harshly... I actually don't care about him that much.
How about it."
"Let's not talk about Mr. Majima. Now that Mr. Majima has left, let's talk about some serious business."
Tang Shen took several deep breaths, straightened his face, and put on a serious expression.
"Chanupu, the shogunate's attack... has become urgent."
"Don't continue to struggle here."
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."
"You and I have known each other for a long time."
"I know what you want to do."
"I'm right that you want to live and die with Heye Zhe, right?"
Chanup: “…”
Chanup was silent.
Silently holding the pipe in his hand, he smoked heavily.
"Although I have said similar words many times these days, I still want to tell you again now."
"Stop fantasizing about having a decisive battle with the shogunate army and then defeating the shogunate army."
"The shogunate dispatched a total of 10,000 troops this time."
"How many of you can carry weapons and go to the battlefield? 300? 400?"
"You are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, and you are far inferior to the shogunate army in terms of equipment."
"The shogunate army has solid armor, weapons far stronger than yours, and they must also have a large number of firearms."
"If you choose to engage in a decisive battle with the shogunate army, you will probably only be able to hold on for a few days before the city is destroyed and people are killed."
"Give up your unrealistic fantasies. Run away quickly..."
"...Escape?" Chanup said in a deep voice, "Where can we escape?"
"If Kazuto sends cavalry to chase us, do you think it is possible for us to successfully escape?"
"But the success rate of survival is always higher than that of a head-on decisive battle with the shogunate army..." Tang Shen responded softly.
Chanop: "..."
Chanup said nothing.
Just smoking silently...
At this time, a shout suddenly sounded outside the house:
"Mr. Chanup! Are you there?"
"Oh, it's Puccina. I'm here." Chanup took off the pipe in his hand, "What's wrong?"
Chanup instantly recognized the voice of Retannoe's only son, Puccina, who was Heyez's second-in-command and who often had disagreements with him on various matters.
"My father asked me to send you a message!" Puccina shouted, "My father said he has something to discuss with you and hopes that you can go to your old place as soon as possible."
"Old place..." Chanup showed a strange expression, "...I understand. Puchina, thank you for coming to deliver the message."
"That's my job!"
After a few words of modesty, Pucina strode away from Chanup's house.
"...Did those people ask you to discuss how to deal with the incoming shogunate army again?" Tang Shen asked.
"Other than that, what other reasons could there be?" Chanup shrugged.
"It seems that those people are also aware of the current situation and are already desperate..." Tang Shen said calmly.
Chanup sighed softly, then stood up holding the cigarette that he never left his hand.
"Since they asked me to go there, I have to go..."
"Chanup." Tang Shen looked at Chanup who stood up with complicated eyes, "Quickly throw away those unrealistic fantasies, abandon He Yezhe and run for your life..."
Chanup still didn't respond to Tang Shen's words.
After giving Tang Shen a deep look with eyes that made it difficult to grasp his specific emotions, Chanup strode out of his home with a cigarette in his mouth.
…
…
When Ogata just walked out of Chanupu's house, he saw Aisuma and Otunpui, who had been ordered by Chanupu to temporarily retreat outside the house for shelter.
"I've already finished what I want to say to your father." Ogata, who was actually not in a good mood now, forced a smile towards the two people in front of him, "I'm going back to Kunoa's clinic now.
.”
"Then let me take you back." Aisuma said.
Ogata shook his head: "No, I already remembered the way when I came here from the clinic."
"I want to be alone now, so I can just go back alone."
"Mr. Majima, do you want to go back alone?" A faint look of disappointment appeared on Otunpuyi's face, and he murmured in a low voice, "I wanted to chat with you more when I took you back..."
"I've always wanted you to share more about your life with others... Really... Why can't I always find the opportunity to talk to you more..."
Before Otunpui could finish his muttering, his sister hit him in the side with her elbow angrily. Otunpui, who was in pain, directly choked out the remaining words that he had not yet uttered.
Swallowed back to the stomach.
"If there is a chance in the future, let's have a good chat." Ogata smiled at Otonpui.
After bidding farewell to Esuma and Otonpui, Ogata walked alone on the way back to Kunoa's clinic.
Although it is already night, for the Ainu people who still live a life of fishing and hunting and lack entertainment activities and nightlife, as soon as night comes, everyone goes back to their homes to prepare for sleep or contribute to the reproduction of the population.
.
While walking back to Cunoa's clinic, Ogata could count the number of people he met on the road with one hand.
After returning to the medical-smelling clinic, Oubon saw A-Machi who was still sleeping deeply, and Kunoya who was sitting by the medicine pot frying medicine, and who was sitting next to A-Machi, helping to take care of him.
of Ashley.
"I'm back. Sorry, Ashley, for keeping you waiting for so long." Ogata knelt down and sat next to Ashley, "Thank you for helping me take care of A-Machi."
"It's getting late now, you should go back soon."
"I'll just take care of Amachi from now on."
"Ah, Kunoa, could you please help me translate what I just said to Ashley?"
"Oh, it turns out this kid doesn't understand Japanese." After saying that, Kunoa translated what Ogata just said into Ainu and conveyed it to Ashiri.
Ashley hasn't seen her relatives and friends for a while, so she who "misses her relatives and friends eagerly" didn't show any pretense after hearing what Ogata said.
After nodding her head and telling Ogata, "If you need any help, just come to her," Ashley left.
Watching Ashley leave, Ogata couldn't help but thought to himself:
I really owe Ayzan and Ashley a lot of favors...
If you count the help that Aizan and Ashley gave Ogata during this period, it is really countless.
First, he agreed to go on the road with Ogata regardless of the trouble and hardship, and went to the village called "Huxi Village" to collect several coins that Lin Ziping had given to the village chief a few years ago, which could effectively prove Lin Ziping's status as a scholar.
books.
After Ah-Ting was injured, the two of them took care of Ah-Ting with all their heart, working hard without any complaints.
After letting Aizan and Ashley know that he was wearing a human skin mask to hide his true face, Ogata told them: Don't let other people know about this. They both assured Ogata in a categorical tone that they would.
Keep it a secret and never let anyone else know about it.
Ogata believes that Aizan and Ashley will do what they say.
The two of them gave Ogata a lot of help.
Just the fact that the two of them tried their best to help take care of the injured Ogata made Ogata not know how to repay this huge favor.
By the way... I don't know how Lin Ziping is doing now...
They went out and left the Red Moon Fortress this time all because of Lin Ziping and to prove Lin Ziping's innocence.
But now there are too many problems and problems before Ogata, so Ogata doesn't have the extra energy to take care of Lin Ziping's affairs now.
Putting Lin Ziping's matter behind him for the time being, Ogata turned his attention to Omachi, who was still sleeping soundly in front of him.
The quilt covering Ah-Ting's body was rising and falling in an even rhythm. Judging from Ah-Ting's expression, she was sleeping soundly now.
Because of the pain in his wound, A-Ting often doesn't sleep well these days, and he hasn't slept as soundly as he does now for a long time.
"Cunoa, has the medicine taken effect?" Ogata asked Cunoa who was carefully preparing the medicine, "My wife hasn't slept so well for a long time."
"The medicine I applied to her wound has some pain-relieving effect." After saying that, Kunoya opened the medicine pot in front of her, looked at the medicine in the pot, and nodded, "Okay.
After cooking for half an hour, the medicine will be ready."
After putting the lid back on the medicine pot, Cunoya subconsciously picked up the smoke gun at hand.
But as soon as she picked up the pipe, she suddenly remembered that there was someone sleeping soundly next to her.
After taking a look at Atachi not far away, Kunoya smiled bitterly and said to herself:
"Forget it...I'd better go outside and smoke."
"Young man, I'm going to smoke outside for a while. Please pay attention to the heat of the medical pot and keep it at the current level."
Kunoya's words were naturally addressed to Ogata.
After saying this, Cunoa picked up her pipe and prepared to get up and walk outside the house.
But as soon as she stood up, she heard Ogata say coldly:
"Kunoa, my wife must rest for a month?"
"Huh?" Cunoya cast a confused look at Ogata, "What? Do you and your wife have something important to do, so you can't stay here for a long time?"
"That's right." Ogata nodded lightly.
"Alas..." Cunoya sighed, "Really...why do you patients always refuse to obey the doctor's orders..."
After closing her eyes and rubbing her eyebrows with her thumbs with a tired look on her face, Kunoya slowly opened her eyes:
"The most ideal situation is to let your wife lie here with me for a month."
"But if you are really in an emergency and cannot stay here for a long time...then you will have to stay here for at least 8 days...no, 10 days."
"In these 10 days, as long as your wife takes my medicine and rests peacefully, your wife's physical condition will improve a lot.
"After 10 days, if your wife's body does not show any abnormality, then there should be no big problem."
"Of course, as a doctor, I still suggest that you let your wife lie here quietly for a month."
"...10 days..." Ogata murmured in a low voice, "...I understand. Thank you for letting me know."
Cunoya nodded slightly to Ogata to show her gratitude, then she didn't hold the cigarette for a long time and walked out of the clinic quickly.
According to Ogata's observation, this Kunoa is a serious chain smoker.
Since she went out to smoke, she has not come back. She has been standing outside, holding a cigarette and puffing away.
On the way, Ogata saw that Kunoya hadn't returned for a long time, so he went to take a look outside. When he looked outside, he saw Kunoya who kept puffing away.
When you finish smoking a roll of tobacco, you put another roll in it.
It wasn't until the medicine was almost ready that Cunoya returned to the house with the pipe in hand.
She opened the medicine pot, took a look at the medicinal soup in the pot, nodded, and then extinguished the flame at the bottom of the pot.
"The medicine is ready, young man." Kunoya took out a bowl and poured the medicine in the pot into the bowl. "You can help your wife blow the medicine to cool it down first, and wait until it becomes less hot.
, and then ask your wife to drink it all in one breath. Let me lend you this little fan. If you use this fan, the medicine will cool down faster."
Ogata raised his hands and took the medicine in one hand and the fan in the other.
"Okay, I'm going to go outside and continue smoking. You can call me after you give your wife the medicine."
After leaving these words lightly, Kunoya couldn't wait for Ogata to make any response, and couldn't wait to take the tobacco and pipe and left Ogata's sight again.
Ogata stared at Kunoya's leaving figure with his mouth open. Whether it was his previous life or now, this was the first time he saw someone smoking so fiercely...
After the shock, Ogata cheered up, put the medicine on the ground aside, and then used the small fan in his hand to fan the breeze to cool the bowl of medicine.
But at this moment, out of the corner of Ogata's eye, he suddenly saw Omachi moving beside him.
Then, she slowly opened her sleepy eyes.
"Hmm...? What are you doing...?"
"You're awake." Ogata stopped blowing the medicine in his hand to cool it. "I'm helping you blow the medicine to cool it. I'm sorry, did I disturb you?"
"No... I woke up naturally..."
A-Machi turned around and looked around: "Where is the doctor...?"
"She's smoking outside right now."
Having said this, Ogata started to flap the fan in his hand again.
"Just a moment, I'll help you cool down the medicine soon."
Atachi tilted his head, looked at Ogata's side face who was trying to help her cool the medicine, and said:
"Ayi, we are really lucky... I was a little worried that the doctors here at Red Moon Fortress would be unreliable... I didn't expect to meet such a powerful doctor in the end..."
"Yes." Ogata took a deep breath and sighed, "I'm really lucky..."
Originally, Ogata and the others returned to the Red Moon Fortress with only one purpose to convey the news that "the shogunate's troops were about to approach the city."
After A-Machi was injured, Ogata and the others had another purpose to ask the doctors from Red Moon Fortress to help heal A-Machi.
Ogata's medical skills...can only be regarded as "a little bit of knowledge", and Ogata also knew that the treatment he gave A-Machi was very rough.
Therefore, after A-Machi was injured, Ogata always wanted a professional doctor to come back to give A-Machi more detailed and professional treatment. However, after seeing that A-Machi's body temperature never dropped and he was in a "semi-coma" state every day
, Ogata's idea became even stronger.
As an "injury professional", Ogata knew very well what would happen if the body temperature did not drop down after suffering such a serious injury. If the injury continued, the wound might become inflamed.
In this era before antibiotics, wound inflammation can easily kill someone...
Looking around, except for the Red Moon Fortress, there was no other place they could go. If it weren't for Amachi's weak body and couldn't bear the strong bumps, Ogata would have wanted to ride a horse and gallop all the way back.
Red Moon Fortress, even if the horses are exhausted, they will die.
As A-Ting just said, before returning to the Red Moon Fortress, they were still worried about whether the doctors here were skilled or not. But now, the big stone in their hearts has finally fallen to the ground.
Atachi, who had just expressed his "good luck" with a thankful face, suddenly had a slow change in the expression on his face.
The happiness on his face slowly turned into... uneasiness.
"Ayi...what should we do next?"
Atachi lowered her voice, so low that only she and Ogata could hear clearly.
Since no outsiders were around now, A-Machi felt free to use her nickname for Ogata.
"The doctor said I have to lie down peacefully for a month..."
"But the shogunate's army is about to attack..."
"How about... let's just leave tomorrow...? My health has always been very good, and I rarely get sick. Even if I leave tomorrow, I won't..."
Before Omachi finished speaking, Oubang interrupted in a calm tone that was neither salty nor bland:
"Stop saying such silly things. In your current state, how can I possibly take you away tomorrow?"
"I just asked Kunoya and she said that you need to rest for at least 10 days."
"10 days...?" A-Machi's eyes widened slightly, "This is still a long time..."
"A-Machi." Ogata comforted softly, "Don't be impatient."
"Calm down and think carefully. Do we have any options other than 'waiting for your initial recovery first'?"
"Before returning to the Red Moon Fortress, you had a high fever and were in a semi-conscious state every day."
"On the eve of returning to Red Moon Fortress, you can't even sit on horseback."
"Now you have finally received treatment from a professional doctor. The treatment has just been completed, but you still need a period of rest to allow your body to recover."
"Do you think there is any way to get out of here with you who can't even sit on a horse?"
Hearing this, A-Machi pursed his lips.
Ogata then continued:
"There's no way, right?"
"I forcefully take you who are so weak now to leave. Whether we can leave smoothly is another matter. Even if we leave successfully, I'm afraid it won't be long before you, who is so weak, will fall ill or worsen your injuries due to the hard work of the journey."
"I'm not Mamiya. I don't have the ability to know everything like Mamiya."
"If you fall ill or your injuries get worse, I can't do anything except wipe your sweat."
"So now we have no other option except waiting for your body to recover."
"If you don't let your body recover quickly, then everything will be empty talk."
"At the very least, you have to wait until your body recovers enough to sit firmly on a horse before you can leave here."
"But..." A-Machi's face still showed uneasiness, "What should I do if the shogunate army comes before my body recovers?"
Hearing Atachi's question, Ogata paused for a moment, then smiled:
"If that time comes...you don't have to worry."
"I have already thought of a way to break out of this situation if it happens."
"What method?" Amachi asked urgently.
Ogata raised his right index finger and put it against his lips: "I won't tell you yet~ I will tell you my 'method to break the situation' after this situation really happens."
"What..." Amachi said angrily.
"Anyway, I won't tell you yet." After that, Ogata put down the fan in his hand, "Okay, the temperature of this medicine should be almost the same."
"Come, let me help you get up and drink the medicine."
Ogata held Amachi's back with his left hand and helped him up. He held the medicine bowl in his right hand and handed the bowl to Amachi's lips.
Ating took a sip of the medicinal soup, and then his whole little face immediately wrinkled.
"so bitter……"
Ogata: "Be patient."
Ating frowned, enduring the bitter taste that made her scalp numb, and drank all the medicinal soup in the bowl.
"Speaking of which..." After drinking the decoction, and lying down again with Ogata's help, A-Machi said slowly, "The people of Red Moon Fortress... seem to not know their current situation..."
Ogata: "I went to meet Chanup just now while you were sleeping."
Ogata briefly told Atachi about his meeting with Chanup just now.
"We are just guests of the Red Moon Fortress. We have no right to interfere with what the people of the Red Moon Fortress will do next."
"I have done everything I need to do. The rest is up to Chanup and the others to decide when to inform the tribesmen of the bad news and how to survive this crisis."
After saying that, Ogata straightened the bearskin quilt covering Omachi.
"Okay, let's stop talking and go back to sleep. You need to rest more now."
Atachi nodded obediently and closed his eyes.
In just a few breaths, the bearskin quilt covering A-Machi's body began to rise and fall rhythmically again.
…
…
at the same time
Red Moon Fortress, inside a certain hut
At this moment, this small house was very lively, with a total of more than ten people sitting in a circle in the house.
Now, if a member of the Red Moon Fortress is present, he will definitely be shocked when he sees the faces of these people gathered here.
Chanup, "Second-in-Command" Retannoe... Almost everyone with names in the Red Moon Fortress is now gathered here.
Everyone sat in a circle according to Ainu rules.
Many people present are old smokers, so the hut is now like a "wonderland", filled with smoke, and many people are puffing away the smoke.
Chanup, one of the "old smokers", was holding his old smoker with a cigarette holder that was so chewy that the paint peeled off.
The rest of the people present were in great contrast to Chanup, who was smoking and silent. Almost all of the people except Chanup were making impassioned speeches.
"Why can't you people understand this? Besides fighting Kazuto to the death, do we have any other way to deal with it?"
The person who said this was "second in command" Retannoe.
His eyes were as bright as fire, and he stared straight at some people around him.
As soon as Retannoe finished speaking, a middle-aged man sitting opposite Retannoe immediately said urgently:
"A fight to the death with Kazuto? Don't be ridiculous! Didn't Chanup's friend say that? The incoming Kazuto army has tens of thousands of troops! We Heye Zhe will count all the old, weak, women and children, and the population will be only
There are over a thousand people! There are only 3,400 people who can hold weapons, how are we going to fight?"
The "Friends of Chanup" as this middle-aged man calls him naturally refers to the God of Tang.
A few days ago, after learning the bad news about the "attack of the shogunate army" from Yugami, in order to avoid causing large-scale panic, Chanup decided to "think of countermeasures first and then spread the bad news widely". He only said this.
Tell the matter to a very small number of senior officials headed by Retannoe, and then discuss with these people what to do.
At this time, these people in the room are the only people in Red Moon Fortress who know that they are in danger...
Originally, Retannoe and the others couldn't believe Tang Shen's one-sided words.
It wasn't until the survivor of Takta Village escaped to them and told them that Takta Village was razed by Kazuto's army that they finally believed that a huge crisis had befallen them...
These days, they have held countless similar meetings.
But until now, they have not come up with a conclusion from their discussion...
After the middle-aged man who advocated "escape" finished speaking, Retannoe stared at the middle-aged man who was opposing him.
"It's not a question of 'should we fight' now?"
"The current situation is that 'a fight must be fought'."
"Kazuto's army is approaching, what else can we do besides rising up to resist?!"
"And we have no chance of winning! We have this fort left by the Lucians!"
"Relying on this fortress, even if there are only a few hundred soldiers, they can survive the attack of tens of thousands of troops for a short period of time."
"Kazuto has dispatched such a large army, and with so many people eating horse chews every day, the amount of food consumed every day must be unimaginable."
"As long as we can delay Kazuto's army's supplies, we can be saved!"
The middle-aged man who had just opposed him snorted coldly:
"Retannoe, what do you think is the chance of winning with this strategy of 'bringing down Kazuto's supplies'?"
"Do you really think we can survive with such a small number of people until the supply of Kazuto's army is cut off?"
Retannoe remained silent.
After a while, he slowly said:
"...The odds of winning are indeed low, but at least there is a glimmer of hope."
The middle-aged man snorted coldly again, and then, like Retannoe, he glanced around at the people around him.
"Everyone, don't listen to Retannoe's nonsense."
"If we are to fight against Heren's tens of thousands of troops, we, Heye Zhe, will only be destroyed."
"Let's abandon this place and run away before Kazuto's army comes."
"Escape?" Retannoe snorted this time, "Where can we escape?"
"If this fortress left by the Lucians is abandoned, then it will really be over!"
"Our greatest weapon is this fortress left by the Lucians."
"If we lose the protection of this fortress, Kazuto's army can destroy us with just one charge."
Retannoe looked at several people of his own age present.
"Many of the people present are old companions who went south together to find a new home and went through hardships together."
"Everyone should know how slow the team moves when moving with so many old, weak, women and children."
"Kazuto has horses and cavalry, and he is very fast."
"This time Kazuto has made it clear that they want to destroy us. I don't think they will just let us escape."
"If they send out cavalry, they can catch up with us in just a blink of an eye."
"In a wild battle with Kazuto, we will definitely lose."
"So we can't abandon this fortress no matter what!"
"You guys have the nerve to say that my chance of 'defending the fortress' is slim. How high is your chance of 'escape'? I'm afraid it's not as good as my chance of 'defending the fortress'!"
After being choked by Retannoe, the middle-aged man stiffened his neck and said:
"Maybe Kazuto just wants this fort left by the Lucians. As long as we abandon this fort obediently, Kazuto won't waste any more energy chasing us."
"'Maybe'?" Reitannoe sneered, "So are you going to bet everyone's wealth and life on the idea that this Kazuto will show mercy?"
As soon as Retannoe finished speaking, several voices echoed:
"Retannoe is right! This fortress must not be abandoned!"
"This is the new home we finally found and built! I will never give up our home!"
"Let's fight to the death with Kazuto! Just like Retannoe said just now! We have no chance of winning! Relying on this fortress, we have every chance to bring down Kazuto's supplies!"
…
Some people support Retannoe, and naturally some people support the middle-aged man who advocates "escape".
The two factions, the "fighting faction" and the "escape faction", were quarreling and each expressed their own opinions.
But there are also a very small number of people who remain silent throughout the whole process. Chanup is one of these "very few people".
Chanup has been smoking there silently, with his head lowered and silent, making it difficult to see what he is thinking now.
At this time, Retannoe noticed Chanup, who had hardly spoken since the beginning of the meeting.
"Chanup! Tell us your opinion!" Retannoe looked at Chanup, "Do you support fighting or fleeing?"
As soon as Retannoe finished speaking, the heated "war of words" gradually stopped, and everyone turned to look at Chanup.
Bathed in the gazes of everyone, Chanup's expression remained as usual.
After taking a few puffs of cigarette, he let out a long breath:
"...let me think about it again."
After saying that, Chanup slowly stood up.
"I'm very tired now... I don't have the energy to participate in the discussion anymore. I'm leaving first. If you want to continue the discussion, just continue the discussion."
After saying that, without waiting for the others to respond, Chanup went straight to the door.
"Hey! Chanup! Wait!" Retannoe stood up directly and blocked Chanup's path. "What do you want to do when you suddenly left the table in the middle of the meeting? Do you know that it is urgent now?"
"I know." Chanup whispered, "But... please let me rest now..."
Retanno Eben has something else to say.
But after seeing Chanup's tired face, he felt that all the words he wanted to say were blocked in his throat.
Chanup walked around Retannoe and continued towards the door of the house.
This time, Retannoe did not stop Chanup.
The rest of the people didn't know what the situation was now or what to do. They all sat there and looked at each other.
No one came to stop him, Chanup left the hut smoothly and disappeared from the eyes of everyone in the house.
Retannoe turned his head, glanced at the door with complicated eyes, and said loudly:
"Since Chanup is tired, let him rest first! Let's continue with what we have to do!"
"Who just said that we only have 300 warriors at most? We have at least 400 people who can fight with bows and spears!"
The "war of abuse" that originally stopped has started again in full swing.
…
…
3 days later
"Come on, little girl, it's time to change the dressing. Young man, help me lift your wife up."
"good."
Ogata helped A-Machi sit up, and then Kunoya began to untie the linen that tightly wrapped most of A-Machi's upper body.
At this moment, Ogata and Omachi are in Kunoya's clinic.
In order to facilitate Atachi's treatment, with Kunoya's consent, Ogata and the others have been staying in the clinic for the past three days.
During these three days, Ogata and Atachi spent their time "taking care of" and "recuperating from their injuries."
Amachi, who wanted to recover from his injuries quickly so that he could leave here with Ogata as soon as possible, had been very cooperative with Kunoa's treatment these past three days.
Ogata, on the other hand, has always been by Amachi's side, giving him meticulous care.
While untying Amachi's linen, Kunoya asked him:
"Little girl, do you feel any discomfort today?"
"No." Amachi answered honestly, "The wound still hurts as always, and I feel so tired every day... I still can't sit up on my own strength..."
"This is normal. After all, your injury is not serious. You can see from the color of your lips that you are bleeding a lot. It will be a long time before you recover."
After finishing speaking, Kunoya had just untied all the thick linen wrapping around Omachi's upper body.
"Well... the wound is recovering well so far." Kunoya carefully looked at A-Machi's wound several times, "It seems that you listened to me and took a good rest."
"As long as you continue like this, your recovery should be earlier."
"Really?" Amachi said in surprise.
"Of course it's true." Kunoya nodded, "Okay, stop talking, I'm going to apply the medicine."
Kunoya applied the medicine evenly on A-Machi's wound, then took out a new roll of linen and re-wrapped A-Machi's upper chest.
"Continue to lie down obediently." Kunoya took out her pipe, "I have some things to deal with now and I have to go out for a while. I will be back soon. You two can help me look after my clinic for the time being."
Ogata: "No problem."
Kunoya strode away.
As soon as Kunoa left, Atachi suddenly let out a sigh of relief.
"It seems that we should quickly remove these linen cloths..."
"What's wrong?" Ogata asked, "Did Kunoya tie it too tightly just now?"
"It's not a question of whether it's tight or not..." A-Machi shook his head, "Don't you think it's uncomfortable whether the Ampoo is tied tightly or loosely?"
"Ah, I understand somewhat." Ogata nodded.
Ogata, who has tried to wrap his body like a rice dumpling several times, can understand how uncomfortable it is to be wrapped in linen.
There were no bandages at this time, and the comfort of linen as a substitute for bandages was quite average.
A large area of the body was wrapped in linen, which felt quite uncomfortable.
Hearing Ogata's agreement with her words, A-Machi raised his hand with a wry smile and patted his breasts, which were still slightly swollen even though they were wrapped in linen.
"For a person with my body type, it would be even more uncomfortable to have his chest wrapped in linen..."
"Now I feel like there are two big lumps of dough pressed on my chest... Even breathing has become more difficult than before..."
"Be patient for a while." Ogata said with a bitter smile, "Be patient for a while longer, and you won't have to tie up this linen cloth anymore."
"I really hope that the day when I don't have to tie up the sackcloth will come soon..."
After saying that, Ating smiled and closed his eyes.
Ogata: "You seem to be in a good mood."
"Because I finally heard the good news." Amachi said, "Didn't Kunoya just say that? I'm recovering well."
After saying that, A-Machi opened his eyes, looked at Ogata, and pretended to be relieved:
"Maybe we can leave before the shogunate army arrives..."
Woo! Woo! Woo!
Before Ah Machi could finish speaking, the sound of conch shells exploding one after another from afar.
As the sound of the conch suddenly sounded, A-Machi, who was still smiling, instantly turned pale.
And Ogata's expression also changed slightly...
