On the wide forest road, a warrior wearing blue and black armor and a half-helmet with deer ears was galloping on his horse! Behind him were nearly a hundred light cavalry in full armor and holding long awls.
Behind them, the flag with the Ryuzoji family crest was flying violently. It seemed that there was something urgent that needed to be dealt with. One of the cavalrymen accidentally dropped his star helmet, but he did not stop to pick it up.
.
After the large group of cavalry galloped past, a slender woman in shabby plain clothes, shaking her head, walked out of the trees beside the forest road.
She was only about 21 or 22 years old, with a pale face covered in pink and white. Due to the long-term hardship in life, her body appeared to be unusually thin and slender. When she saw the star helmet that fell on the ground, she was very happy.
He knelt on the ground and picked it up.
At this moment, a fat woman in a plain half-sleeved dress who looked like a wooden wine barrel stepped forward aggressively: "Hehezi! I discovered this first! Hand it over to me quickly!"
"Chunzi, don't talk nonsense! If you found it first, why would it be in my hands? Why didn't you pick it up?" The girl named Hehezi showed no sign of weakness when facing the stout and short Chunzi, and hugged the star helmet tightly.
In my arms.
When the fat woman named Chunzi saw this, she came up to grab it! She used her fat and meaty arms to force Hezi's hand off and cursed: "You long-tailed woman! How dare you snatch things from me!? Watch us deal with you.
!”
Although Hehezi was not as strong as her, he tried his best to press the star helmet under his body: "It's too much!~ Haruko, you are always like this, you will take good things from me when you see me~~ How many good things have I had since I was a child?
You have taken them all away! It’s enough for you!”
A tyrannical expression appeared on Chunzi's fat face: "Don't even think about it! I saw this and it's mine! I'm going to sell it to buy a tachi for my brother to learn swordsmanship! He will become a samurai in the future~~
I'll let him take care of you~~ Just give it to me!~" As he said this, the strength in his hands increased.
"Don't come here! With your brother's virtues, you still want to be a samurai? He has been beaten by you since childhood~~Even I beat him to tears three times~~" After all, Hehezi's hands are not as strong as Chunzi's, and he saw the star helmet in his hand.
Little by little, she was pulled away by Chunzi's big hand, and she seemed about to cry, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted.
Suddenly, Hehezi bit Chunzi's fat hand with his mouth. After a scream like a pig being killed, Chunzi sat aside with his hands covered and yelled: "Ah~~~ You eel spirit!"
!(sarcastic and zygotic skinny) Look at me treating you like this!"
Hehezi saw that Chunzi was furious and wanted to get up and chase her, so she was so frightened that she ran back to the village.
She looked back at Chunzi, who was far behind. She bent down and gasped for air. Only then did she realize that one of her straw sandals had been thrown off at some point, and her right foot was stuck by a protruding hole in the mountain.
The gravel was scratched, and blood was pouring out. Suddenly, a burning pain surged into his forehead!
She wandered back to her thatched mud house. Most farm families lived in this kind of thatched mud house. The only pieces of wood they had were used as sliding doors, and the wooden sticks cut from tree branches were used to make do.
In most cases, a few wooden pillars are first built to enclose the house, and then the earth board is rammed based on these wooden pillars, and grass mud board walls are built. Finally, the roof is covered with some thatch. Paper sliding doors are very difficult for farmers.
It is an extremely luxurious device. Hehezi saved up money for several years before he gritted his teeth and installed it in his house.
She opened the door gently, and after seeing that the overnight guests on the wooden boards in the room had gotten up, she strode in confidently.
"Sister! You're back!" A little boy of about seven or eight years old who was talking to the man on the wooden couch stood up happily and ran over with bare feet to greet his exhausted sister.
"Kanetsu, have you been good today?" Hehezi endured the severe pain in his feet and pinched the face of the little boy named Naganobu with his hands.
"Sister, you are annoying~~I always say the same thing~~I am almost growing up to become a samurai!" Kansugu's dirty little face was very dissatisfied, and his little mouth was pouted.
At this moment, Hehezi suddenly took out the star helmet hidden behind his back: "Look what my sister brought you?"
"Wow~!" Chang Xin suddenly jumped up: "Is this~~~~the star helmet worn by the warrior?~~Hey sister, you are so nice!" After saying that, he kissed his sister hard on the face.
, wearing a star helmet and running barefoot to show off to his friends.
At this time, Hehezi suddenly sat down~~
"Girl~~~Your foot seems to be injured~~" The man staying overnight showed a concerned expression.
Hehezi bowed to him apologetically: "I'm sorry, I was just talking to my brother, and I haven't asked you how your injury is~"
"Oh~~ You're so polite! My injury is almost healed. I'm going to leave tomorrow. I've been bothering you so much these past few days~ Thank you." The man also imitated her and bowed in return.
"Your Excellency is indeed from the Tang Dynasty (the ancient Japanese were greatly influenced by the Tang Dynasty of China, so regardless of the dynasties in China, they are all called the Tang Dynasty)~~You are indeed very polite~" Wahezi's pale face suddenly showed
A hint of red: "Why don't you stay a little longer? Speaking of which, it's been almost a month since you came, and I still don't know your name. Can you tell me?"
"Haha~!" The man smiled cheerfully: "It's not inconvenient~~It's just that no one here knows me~~My name is Du Fei~"
The man living in Hehezi's house turned out to be Du Fei.
After a fierce battle with the sea monster at sea, his energy was almost absorbed by the sea monster. Although he was lucky enough to defeat the sea monster and escape to heaven, he encountered a big storm again. After several days of wandering, he hugged a piece of the big boat
The wooden plank drifted to the shore, and was rescued by the girl Hehezi and the little boy named Kanxu. He was unconscious for several days before he woke up.
The strange thing is that Du Fei can actually understand the language they speak, and he can speak it casually! Not only that, he can even understand the meaning of the chirping of the birds flying outside!
He was very surprised by this. When he thought about it carefully, he realized that his changes only occurred after fighting the sea monster. Could it be possible that eating the sea monster's tongue would allow him to understand the language of all spirits? At first he
He couldn't believe it, but then he got used to it. He once tried to heal himself, but he didn't expect that his body was empty and there was no energy to gather at all! In total depression, he could only lie on the wooden couch and slowly sleep.
Waiting for the injury to get better.
But as time went by, Du Fei discovered that the siblings lived in a very poor and lonely life. They only grew a somewhat barren vegetable field and relied on buying vegetables to survive. Due to lack of food, they also went to the beach to pick up fishermen every day.
They left behind dead fish and rotten shrimps to make porridge to satisfy their hunger.
Even so, they didn't let Du Fei go hungry for a day. Du Fei was very touched and wanted to repay them well. However, he already had a lot of money, so he wanted to leave as soon as possible and didn't want to cause them any more hardships.
Life is getting worse.
Seeing that Du Fei insisted on leaving, a look of disappointment flashed across Hehezi's face, but she immediately put on a smile: "Then I will buy some sake plants today and practice it for you!"
"By the way, where did the helmet you got back today come from?" It was the first time Du Fei saw that strange-style helmet, and he felt that its style was very similar to the helmets from the Three Kingdoms period in China, but
Not exactly the same.
Hehezi evenly applied some herbs on his injured foot, raised his head and said, "I picked it up from the forest road. It seems to have been dropped by a soldier of the Ryuzoji family here."
Du Fei frowned slightly after hearing this: "Ryuzuosi family? Name?~~~??"
"Oh~~I'm sorry~I forgot that you are from the Tang Dynasty (the ancient Japanese were greatly influenced by the Tang Dynasty of China, so regardless of the dynasties in China, they are always called the Tang Dynasty, please note again to avoid misunderstandings). You may not be too familiar with these.
Familiar~~~
It turns out that after the Fujiwara clan usurped power as a relative a long time ago, the emperor who commanded all Japan was turned into a puppet. He only became the formal leader of Japan. After the Fujiwara clan, Genji clan, and the Kamakura shogunate, the Muromachi shogunate became
The leader of the Muromachi shogunate, the Ashikaga family, sent members of their own family to serve as leaders in various places. At first, the Muromachi shogunate was strong and could dominate the rest of the group. But the good times did not last long, and they appeared.
The predicament of vassal-like separatism that arose in China during the Tang Dynasty: the local tycoons and local daimyo in various places became increasingly powerful, gradually forming a situation in which they were competing with the Muromachi shogunate. The strength of the governors in many places was severely eroded, making the governors
The position of leader began to become real. The Ashikaga family tried their best to maintain their control over the country, but their dream of revitalization was shattered after the Onin Rebellion. The daimyo in various places began to fight against each other more and more brazenly.
His own strength and the influence of the Muromachi Shogunate have become smaller and smaller.
When Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the shogun of the 13th generation Muromachi shogunate, succeeded, the Muromachi shogunate had almost become a puppet. Its territory was only a very small area near Nijo Castle, and the daimyo, local tyrants and even civilian organizations in various places implemented autonomy. In order to compete for the territory, all
The daimyo were actively preparing for war, and Japan suddenly fell into a chaotic era of wars. The country was divided into Kyushu, Shikoku, Koshinobu, Kinki, Kanto, Tohoku, Hokuriku, Chugoku (Japanese place name, not the same thing as China), East China Sea,
Nine states. On the basis of these nine states, they are divided into sixty-six countries. Countless big and small names who want to win the world are entrenched in various places. Their minds are nothing more than robbing money, robbing food, robbing
Territory, civilians all over Japan have been bathed in the flames of war for a long time by their **.
Wagoko pointed his fingers and said: "In our Kyushu alone, there are powerful daimyo such as Ryuzoji, Shimazu, Otomo, Xiangliang, Ito, etc. Each daimyo has a few thousand troops, and as many as tens of thousands.
They are all fighting each other~~Hey~~I don’t know when it will end!”
"I didn't expect you know a lot of things." Du Fei smiled and remembered everything He Hezi said, and suddenly looked directly at He Hezi: "You must not be an ordinary person~?"
Hehezi lowered his head under his bright eyes: "Perhaps I shouldn't have said these words~~Maybe you don't believe it~Actually, Kanetsugu is not my biological brother, he is the son of the former Kyushu daimyo Liang Liangjing~I
Just a maid~ When Kanetsugu was only one year old, our main city was attacked by the Shimazu family who suddenly betrayed their faith and turned against the enemy. The Kanfu clan was all killed. Only I, who had a chance to escape, came with my young master.
Living in seclusion here~~ To be honest, I am not afraid of revealing my identity now. All the power of the Ganfu family has been wiped out by the Shimadzu family, and the territory has also been occupied. No one cares about our life or death anymore. We can only live alone like this.
~~"
Hehezi actually started to sob as she spoke, and large teardrops slid down her pale, weather-beaten face. It seemed that she had suffered a lot in these years despite being so pampered.
Du Fei gently patted her thin shoulder, smiled kindly and said to her: "Believe me, everything will be fine."
What happened to Hehezi made him feel sad, so he decided to help her.
Since he was penniless, he came to a nearby town under the guidance of Hehezi the next day. He wanted to do anything to make some money, but they rescued him and took him in to recuperate. At least he had to give it to others.
A gift of thanks and some support.
But no matter where he went, the bosses would reject him thousands of miles away after seeing his clothes.
The bosses are all businessmen, so of course they are not willing to hire a foreigner who knows nothing about the job.
It seemed that there was no chance of finding a job. Du Fei, who had been wandering around for a day, saw a wine shop in front of him and didn't even think about whether he had brought any money. He couldn't help feeling the alcohol bug in his stomach and jumped in.
After entering, I saw that the place was full of people having fun and drinking. There was also a fat man in gorgeous clothes and wearing a Wu suit who was being persuaded to drink by several women wearing thick powder and pink.
As soon as he sat down, he heard a fierce-looking little man next to him loudly said to his companion: "Did you see it? This is the boss of Feimo House. It looks like he must have a lot of money!"
As soon as the little man finished speaking, several strong men beside him also turned their heads. The eyes they looked at the fat businessman were very familiar to Du Fei. It was a look that was close to that of a beast when it sees its prey. He concluded that
These guys are definitely not good people!
After a while, Du Fei looked at the empty wine bottles on the table and suddenly remembered that he had no money at all~~ He had never even seen what the money here looked like~~
At this time, the proprietress of the wine shop came to collect the money. Du Fei's face was uncertain: No! He made the same mistake again! Are he going to run away again? Hey, he accidentally lost his face abroad.
But the proprietress of the wine shop was very experienced. She stood directly between Du Fei and the exit, killing all his chances of escaping and ascending to heaven.
