I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

"I see..." Konnosuke said in a low voice, "It turns out that Zonghai already knew that there was a problem with the water of the Linong River, but he didn't tell us..."

"But I understand his approach very well..."

"From a certain point of view, his practice of concealing and not reporting is correct..."

"If everyone on the island knows that there is no problem with the well water at the only Tenmanji Temple, then there will probably be an unimaginable bloody struggle for this well."

"As for He Shi, He Zhi... I have an impression of the master and apprentice..."

"Two years ago, their master and apprentice came to this island suddenly and said they would move here."

"Our Butterfly Island has always been short of excellent doctors. In addition, their medical skills are very good, and the asking price is also very low. Therefore, their master and apprentice are very popular with us..."

"I have also been helped by them to treat my long-term painful waist, and their medical skills are indeed quite good. After their treatment, my waist disease, which could not be cured before, healed quickly .”

"Konnosuke." Atachi asked Konnosuke, "Can you draw the faces of the two of them?"

Kinnosuke smiled wryly and shook his head, "I don't have such good drawing skills, I can draw their faces."

Speaking of this, Konnosuke paused as if he remembered something.

"...However, I have preserved two things related to the master-student pair Kazuyo and Kazuo."

Saying so, Konnosuke stood up.

"Two, come with me."

Ogata and A-Machi, who didn't know where they were, stood up with Konnosuke, stood on the left and right sides of Konnosuke, and let Konnosuke lead them out of the room and walked towards the second floor.

Konnosuke's target was the warehouse with 3 large lockers.

Although Konnosuke's house is magnificent and luxurious, it seems that there are not many people living here. From Konnosuke's room to this warehouse, the road is unimpeded, and no one is encountered by chance.

As soon as he entered the warehouse, Konnosuke saw the maid who was still lying in a corner of the room, sleeping soundly.

No need for Ogata and the others to say more,

Kinnosuke could guess why the maid slept here just by looking.

After a wry smile, Konnosuke walked to one of the lockers without any hesitation and hesitation, pulled out a bucket, took out 2 pieces of paper from it, and handed them to Ogata and Atachi.

After receiving the two pieces of paper from Konnosuke, Ogata looked at the top—these were filled with densely packed words.

Before Ogata had time to ask what the two pieces of paper were, Konnosuke replied first:

"These two pieces of paper are the prescriptions He Shi and He Zhi wrote for me when they treated my back disease."

"They said that the medicinal materials they had in stock were not enough to treat my back disease, so they asked me to take these two prescriptions to go outside the island to collect the medicinal materials."

"Following their instructions, I sent people to Osaka to buy all the medicinal materials written on these two prescriptions."

"And the two prescriptions from the master and apprentice are also really effective. The potion prepared with these medicines really cured my back disease."

"Because I think that when my back disease recurs someday in the future, this medicine may be effective again, so I kept these two prescriptions."

"I see..." Ogata looked down at the two prescriptions in his hand carefully.

Looking at the densely packed writing on it, Ogata narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering what he was thinking.

"Both, thank you for your willingness to tell me these things. It's a pity..." Konnosuke's face showed a faint look of distress, "Even if I know that the master-student pair of Kazuyo and Kazuo may be such a The chief culprit of all the riots, knowing that there may be problems with the water of the Linon River, is of no use..."

"We are trapped here now... we can't even get out of this island. Even if we want to ask the master and apprentice for an explanation, we don't know where the master and apprentice have gone now..."

"All of our domestic water comes from the Linon River."

"Even if we know that there may be problems with the water of the Linon River, we still have to use..."

"Drinking the water of the Linong River may be all right, but if you don't drink the water of the Linong River, you will die of thirst within a few days..."

Having said that, Kinnosuke let out a sigh.

"Although I don't want to admit it... but we who live inside the wooden wall... in this situation where we don't have enough food inside and are blackmailed by powerful enemies outside, we may not survive for long..."

"A powerful enemy is blackmailing you?" Ogata raised his eyebrows.

Ogata had to pay attention to these few words in the sentence that Konnosuke said just now.

Just when Ogata wanted to ask Konnosuke what it meant to say "there is a powerful enemy blackmailing outside", an anxious shout suddenly sounded from outside the warehouse door:

"Kinnosuke-sama! Sotaro and his gang are here again!"

As soon as the anxious shout fell, Konnosuke's expression changed suddenly.

"Damn..." Konnosuke gritted his teeth, "Those guys...are they coming again..."

After finishing speaking, Konnosuke waved his sleeves and rushed out.

The person who also changed his expression was A-Machi.

After hearing that yell just now... no, to be precise, after hearing the name "Sotaro", the expression on Machi's face changed suddenly like that of Konnosuke.

When Konnosuke rushed out, Machi followed closely behind.

"A-Machi, what are you doing?" Ogata, who didn't understand what A-Machi was going to do all of a sudden, followed up with a blank face, while casually handing over the two Kazuyo and Kazuo cards that Kinnosuke had just stuffed for him. The written prescription was stuffed into his bosom.

Immediately after Konnosuke rushed to the warehouse, A-Machi hurriedly asked Konnosuke:

"Excuse me——Soutaro?"

"It's a bastard." Konnosuke said in a deep voice with a cold face, "After being thrown to this island by the shogunate, this Sotaro and his brother Aotaro gathered a large number of prisoners and took root on this island come down."

"They have no food source, and they will ask us for rice every once in a while."

"If we refuse to give rice, they will threaten to rush in and kill us."

"They are the group of powerful enemies that I just mentioned 'there are strong enemies outside to blackmail'."

"They have weapons in their hands, and the brothers Aotaro and Sotaro are said to be the ninjas born in Shiranui. They are very powerful, so we have always dared not speak out..."

"Shiranui?" Ogata couldn't help asking back.

At the same time, his eyes subconsciously swept to the gloomy A-Ming beside him.

"Yeah. That's what Sotaro called himself." Konnosuke said softly, "Although I don't know what is in Shiranui and where it is located..."

"That's a ninja village. It's what you commonly call ninja village." As soon as Konnosuke's words fell, Atachi responded without thinking, "It's similar to Fuma no Sato and Koka no Sato in the Sengoku period." The ninja no Sato...is a...terrible place..."
