I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Fuma walked ahead and continued to lead Ogata and Atachi towards the living room of the house.

On the way to the living room, Ogata saw how much Fumo had just made a big fuss.

Feng Mo told them just now: His house is a little dirty.

Recalling what Fumo said to them just now, Ogata couldn't help shouting in his heart:

——This is a little dirty!

The floor was covered with a thick layer of dust, and Ogata was wearing black socks, so it was not obvious how dirty the floor was.

And Machi was barefoot, so just by looking at the soles of Machi's feet, he could tell how dirty Fuma's house was.

A-Ming only took a few steps in Fuma's house, and the soles of his feet, which were originally clean, were completely black.

A-Ming is not flat feet, so the part of the arch of the foot will not step on the ground, so the part of A-Ming's arch is still clean.

The arch of the foot, which was still clean and white, and the rest of the sole, which had completely become ink-stained, formed an extremely sharp contrast.

The floor was filthy, and all kinds of rubbish were piled up in the corridors.

In some areas, the corridors are so full of garbage that it is impossible to get rid of them.

Because of the accumulation of all kinds of garbage, there is a strange smell in the air.

Thank you for being able to live in this environment——Ogata really wanted to say this to Fuma, but in the end he resisted the urge.

Finally, after arriving at the living room of the house, the living room of the house was also extremely messy, with all kinds of garbage piled up everywhere.

"sit down."

Feng Mo took out two fairly clean cushions from a corner of the living room, and placed them on the side of the low table in the living room.

"I'm going to make a pot of tea."

Feng Mo hunched over and walked slowly to the locker placed on the side of the living room.

When he tiptoed to reach the bucket on the top floor of the locker, Feng Mo suddenly let out a scream.

The sudden scream of Fuma startled Ogata and Atachi, and the two hurried forward, asking what happened to Fuma in a hurry.

"It's okay..." Feng Mo's facial features twisted due to the pain, "It's just that I accidentally slipped to my waist..."

Feng Mo let out a few wry smiles.

"When people get older, their bodies are useless..."

"When I went shopping a few days ago, my waist flickered. Fortunately, I got the help of an enthusiastic young man, otherwise I wouldn't know how to go home..."

With the help of Ogata and A-Machi, Fuma finally removed the tea leaves placed on the top shelf of the locker, and made two pots of tea for Ogata and A-Machi.

The sakura pancakes that Ogata and A-machi bought as a meeting gift are now sitting on the corner of the low table.

Fu Mo liked the meeting gift from Ogata and the others very much, and happily accepted it.

"I'm sorry..." Fuma, who was sitting opposite Ogata and A-Machi, said to them in an apologetic tone, "I don't have anything good to entertain you here, only some old tea from last year. But the cup is It's clean, you can drink it at ease."

"It's okay." Ogata took the lead to pick up the teacup and sip it, and asked, "Master Fumo, is your waist still hurting?"

"Well, it's much better." Feng Mo rubbed his lower back, "It was just a slight twist just now, and it's much better after resting for a while."

"Master Fuma..." Ah-Ming's eyes uncontrollably showed a bit of sadness, "You...you're much older... You're quite healthy when I saw you last time..."

Not only Ah-machi, but even Ogata's face showed a bit of sadness.

The hero is late - this idiom automatically popped up in Ogata's mind.

The 17th Fuma Kotaro, who was originally all-powerful and could turn Shiranui upside down with his own power, is now so old that he can even take a cup of tea from a locker. When he thinks of this, he can't help but feel emotional Feeling sad.

"Hahaha." Fumo chuckled a few times, "Komachi, don't show such an expression, people will always get old. Although it is very difficult to live alone now, but for this kind of ordinary life, I am quite happy." Enjoyed it."

After hearing Fuma's words, the sad look on A-Machi's face subsided a little.

Picking up the teacup and taking a few sips of the bitter tea, A-Machi said to Fumo:

"Master Fengmo, Ayi and I have something to ask you."

"Oh? What's the matter? If it's a question I can answer, I'll know everything."

A-Machi raised his elbow and poked Ogata beside him, motioning for Ogata to ask quickly.

However——Ogata didn't pay attention to the elbow that A-Machi was poking at him.

After calmly sipping the tea in the cup, he put down the cup and said softly:

"Ask questions or something, don't worry."

"Before asking questions——Machi, come and do something more important with me."

Having said that, Ogata stood up slowly under the gazes of Amachi and Fuma full of doubts...

...

...

"Did you see it?" Lin pointed to a private house not far away, "That is Lord Fengmo's home."

Lin held a box of cherry blossom pancakes in her hand—she bought them just now as a gift for meeting Feng Mo later.

"My lord." Shimada said softly while looking at the house that Lin just pointed out, "Is that the hermitage of Lord Fuma...it looks very ordinary..."

"It's very ordinary. After all, Mr. Feng Mo is not a person with a lot of money...Huh? Why is the door open?"

When he said the words "Master Fengmo, he is not a person with a lot of money", Lin and his party just walked to the gate of Fengmo's residence.

When they came to the gate, Lin and the others found that the gate of Fengmo's mansion was wide open.

"Why don't you close the door..."

Lin muttered like this, and led the three of Mucun towards the gate of Fuma's mansion.

Coming to the front and back of the door, Lin looked into the house and said loudly:

"Excuse me! Excuse me, someone..."

The voice of the last "?" was also shocked by the picture that appeared in front of him, and he swallowed it involuntarily.

On the corridor connected to the entrance of the mansion, Ogata Itsai, whom he hadn't seen for a while, was lying on the ground and wiping the floor of the corridor with a rag.

Beside him, a beautiful woman whom he didn't know was cleaning the floor of the corridor with Ogata.

Lin's "Is there anyone?" Lin didn't fully say it, but it still attracted the attention of Ogata and the young woman.

After Ogata and the woman he didn't know both raised their heads and cast suspicious glances at her, the doubt in Ogata's eyes instantly turned into a look of astonishment.

"Miss Kinoshita...?"

Although Kinoshita Rin was now dressed in men's clothing, Ogata recognized her at a glance, as well as Makimura, Asai, and Shimada standing behind her.

...

...

Rewind the time back to before the little half stick of incense——

After standing up slowly, Ookai turned his head and said to A-cho:

"Machi, come with me to clean up Fuma-sama's house."

After finishing speaking, Ogata stood up without waiting for a response from A-Machi and Fuma, walked towards the garbage that was closest to him, took out a broken sack from the garbage, and threw all the garbage nearby Stuffed into this sack.

Looking at Ogata who had already started to pick up the trash, A-Machi was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately showed understanding.

"Master Fuma." Ating said to Fumo seriously, "I will borrow your water well."

Without giving Fuma any time to respond, A-Machi quickly stood up and ran towards the well in the yard.

This is not the first time that Machi has come to Fuma's house, so Machi still has some understanding of the structure of Fuma's house.

She knew that there was a well in the courtyard of Fuma's house, and she knew where the well was located.

After A-Machi rushed to the well in a hurry, Fuma finally recovered from his astonishment, and said to Ogata:

"Brother Ogata. You don't have to. If you're paying me to ask me questions by helping me clean up, then you don't have to."

"If you have any questions, just ask, you don't need to pay me anything."

"Master Fuma, you misunderstood." Ogata did not stop his hands that were picking up the garbage, "The reason why A-Machi and I chose to help you clean up is not to use this as a question to you The reward is not to please you."

"It's just because—" Ogata turned his head and smiled at Feng Mo, "I just want to clean this house for you."

"But..." Feng Mo showed hesitation, "Is this too much trouble for you two..."

Ogata glanced at the hesitant Fumo, and then said softly:

"...I am from the Izumo Hirose domain. Before I left the domain, I was injured in a duel with others."

"During the time I was recovering from my injuries, my brothers and sisters would come to my house from time to time to help me, an injured patient who was unable to move, clean the house."

What Ogata said was exactly what happened after the god-sacrificing competition.

When he was recuperating at home, many of his brothers and sisters always came to visit him from time to time, and helped him clean the house when he was inconvenient to move.

"I told them at the time: I will feel embarrassed if you help me like this."

"And my brothers and sisters answered me like this: among friends, it is only natural to help each other."

"Master Fuma, just treat it as two of your friends cleaning the house for you."

"A friend cleaning a friend's house—isn't that normal?"

After hearing what Ogata said, Feng Mo was stunned.

After being stunned for a while, a faint smile appeared on Feng Mo's face.

"Since you have said so, then I can accept your kindness with peace of mind."

Ogata and A-Machi have a clear division of labor.

Ogata is in charge of sorting and clearing the garbage piled up in various parts of the mansion.

And Machi was in charge of wiping down the dirty mansion with a rag.

Because the workload of picking up garbage is much smaller, Ogata quickly cleaned up all the garbage piled up everywhere in the mansion.

After cleaning up the garbage in the mansion, Ogata also took a rag and assisted A-Machi to clean the filthy floor of the mansion.

While the two were working together to wipe the floor of the corridor connected to the entrance of the mansion, Lin and his party appeared at the entrance of the Fuma mansion...

Ogata was neither surprised nor surprised that Lin and his party suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

What he was "not surprised" was that Lin and his party would appear in Kyoto.

Ogata had expected that the people from Gourd House would definitely come to Kyoto.

Calabash House has been investigating "Immortal" for so many years, and it is impossible to let go of the clue of "He Shi and He Zhi". He will definitely come to Kyoto and look for this pair of master and apprentice just like him.

What he was "surprised" about was that Lin and his party would appear at the gate of Fuma's mansion.

...

...

"Hehehe." Feng Mo smiled and handed 4 cups filled with hot tea to Lin and his party, "Today is really a good day, not only Komachi came to see me, but even Xiao Lin also came to see me gone."

"Thank you." Lin, who is usually expressionless, smiled and respectfully took the tea from Feng Mo, "Master Feng Mo, I am relieved to see that you are still so energetic."

"Spirit is spirit, but the body is not as good as before." Feng Mo smiled wryly and shook his head, "When I was out shopping a few days ago, my waist flickered. Fortunately, I got the help of an enthusiastic young man, otherwise I wouldn't have known How should I go home..."

After handing the 4 cups of hot tea to Lin and his party, they took out 2 clean teacups and filled them with hot tea.

"Brother Ogata! Komachi! You two come over and take a break too!"

In fact, Ogata and A-cho happened to be a little tired. After hearing Fuma's words, they didn't make any excuses or rejections. They sat around the low table in the center of the living room with Lin and his party, and sipped drinking hot tea.

Although the living room of the Fuma mansion is not big, everyone present can barely sit down.

The tea in the cup was freshly boiled hot tea. Although it was hot, it was not completely undrinkable. While sipping the hot tea that Fumo made for them, Ogata finally couldn't hold back his doubts and couldn't help but look at Fengmo asked:

"Master Fengmo, do you still know the people from Calabash House?"

"Of course I do." Feng Mo stroked the beard on his chin with a smile, "Because Yuan Yi and I have been friends for decades."

"As I have a deep friendship with Yuanyi, I naturally know Xiaolin and the people in Huluwu."

Speaking of this, Lord Fumo cast a slightly puzzled look at Ogata, and said:

"Brother Ogata, you actually know about Calabash House, are you also Xiaolin's friend?"

Before Ogata had time to respond, Lin beside him blew on the hot tea in the cup and said in a calm tone:

"We do know Ogata Isai. But I don't know the beautiful woman next to Ogata Isai."

As soon as Lin finished speaking, Mucun, who was sitting next to Lin, poked Lin with his elbow:

"My lord, this beautiful woman is the female ninja from Shiranui who I told you about Mamiya and I, who was with us on Butterfly Island—A-Machi."
