Chapter 586 [Ding! Do you unlock the Iga-style forbidden technique?] [5100]
This is a girl with a very petite figure... to be precise, in Ogata's eyes, a girl with a very petite figure.
According to Ogata's visual inspection, the girl's height is about 1.43 meters.
This height was considered relatively normal in Japan during the Edo period.
Wearing a wide black robe with a hood that was quite rare in this era, the black robe was wide enough to wrap the girl's body.
She is very young, probably only about 15 years old. Although in the eyes of people of this era, a 15-year-old girl is already an adult woman, but for Ogata, who has not completely abandoned the age and ethics of her previous life, this age
Girls are still proper girls.
Her appearance can be said to be cute, with beautiful facial features and fair skin. She is the kind of girl who no matter who she is asked to evaluate, will basically say "very beautiful".
At this moment, the girl was holding a pipa that was almost half her height, huddled in a corner of the cabin, playing music.
Ogata knew nothing about music, so he didn't know what piece of music the girl was playing, and he couldn't tell what the girl's level was. He only knew that the girl played very well.
Judging from the reactions of the other stowaways in the cabin, Ogata was not alone. Many people present had the same idea.
Almost everyone was attracted by this girl's music.
Although no one knew why the girl suddenly started playing the piano, they all remained silent and listened attentively.
The girl only played for a short time.
Only about half a minute passed before the girl stopped plucking the strings with her hands, and then——
"Does anyone want to buy straw sandals?"
With lightning speed, the girl put down the Pipa in her arms, then moved a large cloth bag beside her to her side and untied it.
Inside the cloth bag are straw sandals piled as high as a hill.
"If anyone wants to buy straw sandals, you need to come and take a look!"
The girl grabbed a straw sandal, grabbed the left and right corners of the sandal with both hands, and then pulled hard.
"Look! I pulled the straw sandals so hard, but they are still intact!"
“Such good quality straw sandals only cost 10 yuan!”
The girl raised the straw sandals in her palms high as if she were holding some treasure.
Ogata's current expression...can be described as stunned...
Just now she looked like a fairy playing the pipa.
As a result, in an instant, he put down his pipa and started selling straw sandals. He transformed into a straw sandal merchant.
From fairy to straw sandal merchant - the girl's "role change" was so fast that Ogata was dumbfounded.
——So what happened to that performance just now? Is it just to attract our attention...
Just as Ogata complained silently in his heart, the girl put down the straw sandals in her hands.
"If you don't need straw sandals, I have another good thing here..."
As the girl spoke, she picked up another package placed beside her.
But suddenly - the cabin door was slammed open.
A young samurai with a fierce look and a sword on his waist strode into the cabin.
They are "security guards" responsible for protecting the safety of the ship. Ogata guessed that they were probably hired ronin.
These days, the most indispensable thing is ronin. As long as you can afford the money, there are many ronin who are willing to do their best for you.
After boarding the ship, Ogata counted the number of these guards, and there were eight in total. Such a number was more than enough to guard a ship carrying more than 30 stowaways.
"Were you playing the pipa and selling straw sandals just now?" After entering the cabin, the guard turned his attention to the girl, "Don't you know the rules of this ship? When taking the ship,
Don't make any loud noises, and selling goods like you are strictly prohibited."
"Is there such a rule?" The girl opened her eyes in confusion.
"Then you know now."
"Why can't we sell goods?" The girl seemed unconvinced and started arguing with the guard.
"Because there was once someone like you selling goods in the cabin, and they had a disagreement with a certain customer about the price of the goods. In the end, the two of them had a fight, and the businessman who was selling the goods was almost beaten to death." The guard said sternly, "You guys are in the cabin.
People peddling goods inside are not only noisy but also prone to causing trouble, so this kind of peddling of goods has been strictly prohibited since then.”
"We have just left the shore not long ago. If you still want to take a boat, just obey our regulations."
"Otherwise, we will turn around and go back to the shore now and put you back on the shore."
"Yes..." Although there was still an angry look on her face, the girl still gave in and obediently put the big cloth bag that she had just claimed to be a "good thing" but had not yet had a chance to open back to her side.
, and then rewrapped the cloth bag containing a large number of straw sandals.
"Really... It seems that we have to ask Shirataro and the others to explain the rules of the ship to those who want to get on the ship before taking them on board."
After leaving this displeased murmur, the guard quickly walked out of the cabin and closed the door.
The girl obediently abided by the rules of "no selling of goods" and "no making noise" that the guard just said, and huddled in a corner of the cabin, no longer playing the piano or selling goods.
And after the guards left - no one went to the girl to buy straw sandals.
Everyone did their own thing and returned to the state before the girl played the piano - including Ogata and Atachi.
Ogata's shoes are still in good condition and there is no need to buy any new shoes at all.
"She is really...a girl with a lot of character..." Amachi thought for a long time and only managed to find the word "very character" to describe the girl. "I just saw her putting down her piano and picking up her straw sandals to sell them.
I was stunned..."
"There is a saying, her method of using the sound of the piano to attract people's attention first is quite clever." Ogata smiled, "Just now she attracted the attention of everyone in the cabin.
It’s a pity that no one wants to buy shoes.”
Ogata only regarded the girl's behavior just now as a small episode in a long journey.
After the girl obeyed the ship's rules and settled down, Oufon stopped paying attention to the girl.
When the ship first set sail, due to the strong waves, the ship was bumping extremely violently. At one time, Amachi, whose resistance to "wind and waves" was 0, was so uncomfortable that he couldn't even sit up.
In the 21st century, those modern ships will be rocked by the waves in the sea, let alone this kind of 18th century wooden ship.
Nearly half of the people in the cabin suffered from varying degrees of seasickness after the ship left the coast.
Some people suffer from seasickness worse than Atachi, and directly transform into "Reverse Splatoon".
Fortunately, there are many wooden basins in the cabin.
This Dingjiangya who helps people stow away has probably suffered a lot from the problem of "passengers getting seasick".
Therefore, the cabin where Ogata and the others lived was equipped with many wooden basins. Before sailing the ship, Ogata and the others were specially told to vomit in these wooden basins if someone wanted to vomit.
Thanks to these wooden basins, the cabin did not become dirty, but there was only some strange smell in the air.
It was not until the ship reached a calmer sea area that the seasickness symptoms of everyone, including A-Machi, improved.
By this time, it happened to be noon.
"A-Machi, let's have something to eat." Ogata helped him up and let him sit against a wall, then opened the package of dry food, "What would you like to eat..."
"Just give me half a stick of dried meat..." Amachi replied weakly.
The dried meat that Ogata and the others are carrying now are the high-quality dried meat that Chanup and others gave them before leaving the Red Moon Fortress.
These dried meats are made using the special techniques of the Ainu people. They are not only delicious, but also have a very long shelf life, making them especially suitable for use as dry food during long journeys.
Ogata grabbed a piece of meat as long as one of his palms and was about to twist the meat in half——
"Um?"
Ogata raised his eyebrows, then turned to look behind him.
Just now, he suddenly felt like someone was looking at him from behind.
Ogata turned his head and stared behind him. The owner of his gaze hurriedly lowered his head after noticing that Ogata had turned his head.
——Why was this child looking at me just now?
Ogata had a puzzled question in his heart.
The owner of this sight is none other than the business genius who just used his pipa to help sell straw sandals.
This girl is only 15 years old at most, and Ogata is 22 years old this year. Calling this girl "that child" barely fits the age difference between the two.
Ogata didn't think much about it. He just thought that the girl might be too bored, so he looked around randomly.
But as soon as Ogata turned his head back, he felt a line of sight coming from behind him again, so he turned his head to look behind him, and then saw the girl who hurriedly raised her head.
This time, Ogata noticed that not long after the girl lowered her head, she kept peeking at the dried meat in Ogata's hands with longing eyes.
Atachi, whose face happened to be facing the girl, also noticed the girl's current behavior.
"Does this girl want to eat our jerky?" Atachi asked in a low voice that only she and Ogata could hear.
"Probably..." Ogata looked around and found that at this time, everyone else had taken out the dry food they carried and started to eat it. Only this girl did not make any movement at all, still sitting in the same place, without any movement.
Bring out anything to eat.
Gu...
At this moment, an inappropriate "gurgling" sound came from the girl's belly.
The sound was not loud.
But... Ogata and his two men, who were sitting not far from the girl, happened to hear it.
As soon as this stomach protest sounded, the girl quickly raised her hands to cover her belly, and then buried her head so that her chin almost reached her chest as if she didn't dare to look at anyone, her cheeks and ears visible to the naked eye.
The speed becomes red.
After the girl's stomach started to grow, Ogata and Atachi looked away at the same time with a tacit understanding, no longer looking at the girl, to save some face for the girl.
"...Let's give that girl some food?" Amachi suggested.
"...No." Ogata shook his head, "If I just give the food to her like this, it might be regarded as a casual meal, which will frustrate the girl's self-esteem."
After saying that, Ogata thought for a moment.
Then he tore the dried meat in his palm into two halves and handed one half to Ating: "You eat first. I'll be back when I'm gone."
After that, Ogata put the remaining half of dried meat in his hand back into the cloth bag containing food, then took out several new sticks of dried meat and other dry food from the cloth bag, and covered them all with a small piece of cloth.
Wrap it up and put it in your arms.
After doing all this, Ogata strode towards the girl.
"Can I see your straw sandals, please?" Ogata asked.
"Huh?" The girl raised her head and looked at Ogata.
Perhaps because she didn't expect anyone to come to her to buy straw sandals now, the girl's eyes were full of surprise.
The girl, whose face was still flushed with shame, looked at Ogata blankly for a while, and then answered with surprise:
"sure!"
The girl opened the cloth bag containing the straw sandals again.
"It costs 10 cents a pair. You can check it out. The quality of my straw sandals is very good."
Ogata picked up a pair of straw sandals and pulled them gently - the quality was indeed quite good.
"Did you make these straw sandals yourself?" Ogata asked.
"Yes." The girl nodded, "Every pair of straw sandals here is knitted by me myself. How about it? The quality is very good, right?"
"Yes. The quality is indeed good. It's just that-"
Ogata's conversation suddenly changed.
"I don't have much money."
"Huh?" There was confusion in the girl's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it and said quickly, "Then I can sell it to you cheaper, a pair for 8 cents..."
Before the girl finished speaking, Oujiang reached into his arms and took out the food that had just been wrapped in a clean cloth.
"This is all I have left. Can I use these instead of money?"
"Huh?" A look of astonishment appeared in the girl's eyes again.
But as soon as this shock appeared, it quickly turned into a fiery look.
She looked at the dry food in Ogata's palm with fiery eyes, as if she would pounce on him at any time, and then hugged the dry food tightly in her arms.
Ogata then added:
"I plan to buy two pairs of straw sandals for my wife and I each. Can these dry food be used in exchange?"
"Of course!" The girl said quickly, as if she was afraid that Ogata would change his words, "Don't say 4 pairs, the food you have is probably enough to replace 6 pairs of shoes."
"Then I'll take 6 pairs."
The girl nodded hurriedly.
Ogata handed the small bag of food to the girl: "Can you let me look for suitable straw sandals by myself?"
"sure."
Ogata pushed aside this "mountain of straw sandals" and began to search for shoes suitable for him and A-Machi.
After confirming the relationship with Atachi, Ogata found out clearly how big Amachi's feet were through various methods.
Converted to modern calculations, Ogata's shoe size is about 42, while Atachi's is about 34.
While Ogata was carefully searching for straw sandals suitable for him and O-Machi, the girl was holding the bag of food as if she was holding some treasure.
He looked at the food in his arms, and then looked at Ogata in front of him.
After looking back and forth between Ogata and the food several times——
"Sir, thank you for your patronage."
"It's been a long time since I met a customer like you who bought so many shoes in one go."
"To express my gratitude, let me give you something!"
After finishing speaking, the girl took the food in her arms aside, and then picked up another package that was much smaller than the cloth bag containing straw sandals.
Ogata had an impression of this package - after the girl had finished selling her straw sandals, she claimed that she had another "good thing" and then picked up a package.
Later, because the guard arrived too timely, the girl failed to open the package in time and did not reveal the true identity under the package.
The package in front of Ogata now is the "good thing" the girl claimed before.
"Sir, are you interested in self-defense?"
"Self-defense?" As soon as Ogata cast his doubtful gaze on the girl, the girl opened the package - inside was a pile of books with no words on the covers.
"To be honest, my little girl's family has a special self-defense technique passed down from generation to generation."
"This self-defense technique only has one move: luck. Although it only has one move, it is extremely powerful and is an excellent self-defense technique."
“These books are the ‘Yun Jin’ training methods that I personally made.”
"The content is simple and easy to read. Many people have a rough grasp of 'luck' just by reading this book I wrote."
Ogata had a look of astonishment on his face from the beginning - after changing from a "fairy" to a "straw sandal merchant", this girl once again transformed into a "martial arts secret merchant".
The girl's identity changed so quickly that Ogata didn't know how to react for a moment.
Looking at the astonished Ogata, the girl mistakenly thought that Ogata didn't believe what she just said, so she added hurriedly:
"I'm not that kind of liar."
"Both the book and myself are full of real material."
Having said this, the girl rolled up the sleeve of her right arm.
After the girl rolled up the sleeve of her right arm, Ogata was surprised to find that the girl's arm was quite muscular and not the kind of person with weak limbs.
"Let me show you the 'luck'."
After saying that, the girl took a deep breath and then stared straight ahead.
The girl at this time looked completely different from the somewhat nonsensical look she had just now.
The girl was seen staring straight ahead, then slowly raised her right hand and clenched her palm into a fist.
Ogata carefully discovered that the muscles in the girl's arms were moving with strange rhythms and amplitudes.
The girl seemed to be accumulating strength, and her muscles were vibrating faster and faster.
at last--
The girl punched the air in front of her.
Bang!
There was a sound that was unlike anything a girl with this body type could produce.
Before Ogata could express any thoughts on the girl's punch, he suddenly heard a system sound in his mind... that he hadn't heard for a long time.
