After a brief self-introduction, the two of them reached a tacit understanding and stopped talking.
Zuodaoli Village can already be seen ahead, and the sky is gradually getting dark.
Zuodaoli Village is a relatively large village, and there is a wooden fence at the entrance of the village to guard against bandits.
It is getting late and the weather is getting cooler. There are not many people in the village at this time.
The eleven-year-old Okita Souji said to Anno: "Is Mr. Samura now in a state of no future?"
"So..." Annuo sighed.
I have been wandering since I woke up in Shirakawa Domain. During this period, I encountered several villages that were unwilling to take me in. Now I can truly look back and have a bright future.
"Why is Mr. Samura homeless?" Souji Okita walked in front, without looking back, he just asked.
Annuo didn't know how to answer, so he just followed Okita Souji and muttered a few words: "To be honest, I don't know...why I wander, I just started wandering when I opened my eyes."
That’s all.”
Have a meal.
She thought Zuo Cun meant that he had been wandering since birth.
"..." Souji Okita turned his head and took a closer look at Annuo through the moon that had just risen.
Mo is about 1.6 meters tall, not too tall, with fluffy and messy hair, an obviously thin body, and tattered clothes.
Annuo has been wandering in Shirakawa Domain for almost a month, so it's not surprising that he is in this state.
"It's already dark, and it's not convenient for you to beg for food. Why don't I tell my sister that you can come to my living room to rest for the night, and I can give you some porridge and rice."
Perhaps because he couldn't bear to leave this thin beggar here, Souji Okita said.
After all, she is a young girl, so it is not surprising that she would say something like this.
Annuo didn't know what to say anymore.
I can only bow deeply.
This is the only thing he can do now.
"...Follow me first." Souji Okita looked at Annuo, who was trembling and holding back tears, sighed, and turned around.
After walking for two minutes, they reached almost the center of Zuodori Village. Okita Souji and Annuo stopped in front of a courtyard that obviously looked larger than other houses.
Okita House.
"Brother, sister, I'm here." Chief Okita knocked on the door and shouted into the courtyard.
Not long after, a woman opened the door of the mansion and took a look.
"Ah, Soujiro, you're back." The woman was a little surprised, opened the door and looked at Okita Souji.
"...Sister Guang, don't call that name again." Okita Souji's face looked a little unnatural.
"Ah, okay..." The woman known as Sister Guang was also a little embarrassed, and then she saw Anno, who was following Souji Okita like a quail.
"This is..." Sister Guang looked at Annuo suspiciously.
"This is my senior brother. He originally went out into the mountains with me, but he encountered bandits on another road. As a result, he was already like this when I found him." Okita Souji said naturally.
Okita Souji's sister, Okita Hikaru heard this and bowed slightly: "It turns out to be the samurai-sama."
"Ah, don't..." Annuo was startled. Just as he was about to move away, his sight was blocked by Souji Okita.
"Sister Hikaru, let us go in first. It's cold and I'm a little hungry." Souji Okita was unexpectedly a little cold when facing Okita Hikaru, which was completely different from the gentleness he showed when facing Annuo.
"Yeah, let's come in first." Hikaru Okita took a look at the knife on Soji Okita's waist, swallowed, and got out of the way.
Annuo followed Okita Souji and walked into Okita's house.
He felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.
But I also know that I don't need to speak and can't speak now.
Okita Hikaru approached Souji: "Souji, do you think we should arrange a room for Mr. Samurai first...?"
The director was slightly silent: "Sister Guang, please arrange the room first."
"Okay." Okita Hikaru nodded with a smile, turned to ask Zuomura Annuo, "What do you call Mr. Samurai?"
"Well...just call me Zuocun." An Nuo pretended to be calm and said with a smile.
"Then, Mr. Samura, please go to the guest room and rest for a while. The food will be served by a servant later." Okita Hikaru called a servant over.
The servant bowed slightly to Zuocun and took the initiative to lead the way.
"Sorry to bother you, thank you for your hospitality."
"Sou... Souji, let's go to the living room first." Okita Hikaru approached Souji.
"...Hmm." Okita Souji's mood was obviously bad.
She has already left this home, why did Okita Hikaru ask her to come back again?
............
Anno Zuomura sat in the room.
The servant brought bedding and bathrobes and said, "Sir, do you need a bath?"
"Hmm, ah." Annuo thought for a moment, looked at himself, and nodded.
"Then, please come with me."
After washing his body with hot water and a towel, Zuocun sighed.
Today's enjoyment made him a little frightened, and his sudden luck made him feel that he was unable to prevent his mistake.
"Miss Okita is such a good person." He sighed when he was tired.
He groped his way from the bathroom back to his room.
"Okita's home is really big. It deserves to be called a samurai's home."
Sitting on the tatami, he opened the door and looked at the courtyard outside.
When Hua Yue was born, looking at the silent night sky, Zuocun couldn't help but feel a sense of loneliness.
"Really, what have I been thinking about...Thinking so far is not what a person like me should have. I just need to care about what I will eat tomorrow?" He couldn't help but laugh.
Loneliness is not an emotion that beggars should have.
"Sir." The servant brought a basket.
She knelt on the ground, opened the basket, took out the food, placed it in front of Zuo Cun, then picked up the basket and bowed to leave.
The meal is very simple, two rice balls and two plates of side dishes.
But it was a richness that Zuocun had never seen before.
Picking up the rice ball and smelling it, Zuo Cun swallowed.
Then open your mouth and bite down.
Without crying again, the young man just thought firmly.
A favor from a meal will be repaid one day.
If I hadn't met Ms. Okita, I wouldn't have been able to experience all this.
In the future, when I become a strong person, I must repay Miss Okita well!
Different from the previous purposeless existence, a fifteen-year-old boy named Samura Anno had the idea of changing the status quo for the first time.
And the person he wanted to repay was also continuing his own war in the living room.
"Long time no see...Master of the family, my brother." Souji Okita looked at the man sitting opposite him with a calm expression.
His adopted brother is also his brother-in-law.
Rintaro Okita.
"Long time no see, Sojiro." Rintaro looked a little weak and said with a smile.
"...Don't call him by the name Soujiro anymore, head of the family." Souji showed a coldness and disgust that was clearly inappropriate for his age.
