Chapter 35: Shiro Kojima

It's a fairly wealthy village, at least everyone has enough to eat. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 There is also a school in the village to teach children in the neighborhood to read and write, which is quite precious in the troubled times.

It's a pity that not many children come to school.

Adults often prefer to let their children help with farm work rather than send them to school.

If you can't read and write, and don't delay farming, can you grow food if you don't know the difference?

Adults think so.

What's more, there is a tuition fee for going to school, which is a stone.

Although the village is still relatively wealthy, and the families have a little food, just like An Ci turned into a human being, knowledge and faith are worthless in today's world.

Whether it is a monk or a scholar, one day he will die on the side of the road like a wild dog!

Food and the force to protect food are the hope of survival.

Therefore, the villagers of this era are generally very xenophobic and vigilant.

Yingluo's borrowing didn't go well, so he begged for a lot of them, and in the end it was the teacher of the school who took them in.

By the way, although he is a teacher, he is not an old man with a lot of beard as he imagined, but a young man in his twenties.

is still a very beautiful man, even if he is wearing coarse linen clothes, he can't hide his handsome demeanor.

"I'll leave this room for you to use. The man said, "If it has been vacant for a long time, it may be a little dirty, so please don't dislike it." ”

Yingluo's first impression of him was not good, not because of anything else, just because this person was actually more handsome than him!

Well, it's much more handsome than when she was in her previous life, and although she is a woman now, she still hates people who are more handsome than herself.

Although she thinks so, she will not do any rude behavior, just a little envy and jealousy. Hearing the other party's words, she hurriedly said: "Where, I am grateful to be able to have tiles to cover my body, how can I still dislike it." ”

The man nodded, "That's fine." It's rude, I want to read at night, so I won't greet you, please take care of yourself. ”

"Read, Your Excellency is really hardworking. "Is it still a scholar? Obviously, you can eat with your face, but you have to rely on your talent, Yingluo couldn't help but complain in her heart, and then asked: "By the way, in Xia Yingluo, I haven't asked you for your name?"

The man was stunned, this woman was dressed as a swordsman and was strange enough, and she was still using this kind of self-title, what a strange little girl.

He shook his head and threw this thought out of his mind, and said, "Don't dare to call your surname in vain, a grass folk Kojima Shiro is." ”

After exchanging names, he took his leave and left.

Yingluo lay on the bed made of straw, stretched, the wounds on his body were already healed, only a few shallow red marks remained, and it seemed that there would not even be a scar. With such a physique, if you put it in your previous life, I don't know how many girls you have to envy to death.

Fukuhara Echigo also had a haggard face, and he had suffered more in the past few days than he had all put together. He didn't want to escape Yingluo's clutches and return to his original life.

It can be seen that after knowing the last battle, he also understands that Yingluo's strength is definitely not a swordsman that can be summed up, if he really wants to say it, he is probably only comparable to Jianhao!

But how old is she?

Fukuhara Echigo secretly stammered, sixteen years old, or seventeen years old?

Such a young swordsman is still a woman, it is unheard of!

Therefore, ordinary force cannot work, and if you want to escape, it is more reliable to use your brain.

For example, the scholar named Shiro Kojima just now was an opportunity.

nesting in such a small village as a teacher, you can tell at a glance that it is a depressed sour ding. This kind of person has more vision than the peasants, and they also understand it well, and the most important thing is to know how to respect and be humble. As long as his identity is revealed, he will definitely be willing to deliver a message for himself!

Fukuhara Echigo made up his mind in his heart, and said to Yingluo: "I'll go talk to Shiro Kojima, don't worry, I won't run!" He knew that even if he ran away, he would be obediently caught.

Yingluo didn't care, she never intended to restrict the other party's freedom, the only request was to go on the road with her, and she didn't care about the rest of the time. In her opinion, there is no need to be serious with a dying person, just as the preferential treatment of a condemned prisoner.

She waved her hand in agreement, then rolled over, ready for a good night's sleep.

Fukuhara Echigo left, and the sound of the door being gently slammed shut could be heard.

She also fell asleep dimly.

In the dream, she saw Hiko and Kenshin, as well as Ba and Kaoru, the head secretary was also there, Kamiya also came with his wife, everyone got together and drank happily, the wine spread down the corners of her mouth, and the whole neck was cold.

Yingluo woke up with a knife on her neck.

It's Shiro Kojima.

She smiled a little, not caring because she didn't feel the murderous aura...... That's why she didn't wake up in the first place.

"Why, in addition to teaching, do you also run a black shop part-time?" she joked.

Shiro Kojima didn't smile, his handsome face was always serious, and it seemed that some burden was weighing on his heart.

He opened his mouth and said, "Miss Yingluo, I don't know why you kidnapped Fukuhara-sama, but I talked to him and learned that he was a man of great courage who did not hesitate to give his life for the sake of the country. So, I think there must be some misunderstanding in this, and I want to ask you to let him go. If you need money, I've got some more to give you all of!"

Looks like I've been fooled.

Yingluo is very happy.

Handsome guys and beauties are all the same, and their IQs are generally not high.

She found some sense of superiority at a young age.

"What about Echigo Fukuhara?" she asked.

Shiro Kojima had a strange expression, but he replied anyway, "Fukuhara-sama seems to be ...... Seemingly a little flustered, he refused to come with me and insisted on staying in my house. ”

Poof!

Yingluo smiled.

Fukuhara Echigo is smart, knowing that Shiro Kojima will definitely not be able to please him if he is in trouble, so he simply hides from himself and clears up the relationship.

What an old fritter!

But what Yingluo didn't know was that this old fritter was also angry to death, and he obviously just wanted Kojima Shiro to pass on the news, but the other party insisted on saving himself, and left with a knife, and he couldn't stop it.

Isn't this the old birthday star eating arsenic and living impatiently?

Fukuhara Echigo's heart is also 10,000 alpacas galloping by, wanting to cry without tears.

What can he do, he is also desperate!

So there is the scene in front of me.

Shiro Kojima seemed a little impatient, and he repeated his request: "If you are willing to let Fukuhara-sama go, I will not hurt you, and I will not denounce you, how about it?"

Yingluo didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, "You just met him, right?" I'm strange, what did he say that made you willingly put a knife on my neck. ”

Kojima Shiro said solemnly: "Because he is a man of lofty ideals who respects the king, and he is also an important minister of the Choshu Domain. He told me a lot about the measures to enrich the country and strengthen the people, and he believed that as long as he did what he said, he could find a way to change the country and let the people no longer suffer. So I'm sorry, Miss Eiroku, I can't let you take Fukuhara-sama. ”

"What if I insist on disagreeing?"

Kojima Shiro's face darkened, and then he gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly: "If you are obsessed, I will have no choice but to use violence against you!"

"Kill me?"

"No, of course not, I don't have the right to decide your life or death!" Kojima Shiro replied, "I will tie you up and send you to the government for disposal!"

"Ha!" Yingluo chuckled: "Thank you for this decision, I saved your life!"

"What?" As soon as Shiro Kojima asked, he felt a flower in front of him, and then somehow fell to the ground on all fours, and Yingluo stood beside him, looking at him condescendingly, with a smile on his face, and his knife had already run into the other party's hand and was hanging on his neck.

His face turned pale. At this moment, I realized why when I said that I wanted to save Lord Fukuhara, the other party's face was so strange.

His swordsmanship was worthless in front of this woman.

"Your swordsmanship isn't bad. Yingluo said: "But it wants to do too much, so it is slow." ”

What does that mean? Shiro Kojima didn't understand.

"You want to protect this country, protect the people living here, and want everyone to live a good life, and you have too many requirements, so the swordsmanship has become complicated and full of flaws!"

Shiro Kojima was stunned and asked in surprise, "How do you know, these ...... I've never told anyone else about that!"

"It was your sword that told me. After Yingluo answered, he shook his head and said, "Although the idea is good, it's too naïve, just follow my ...... The same as the younger brother. ”

Brother?

Have you been compared to a child?

Shiro Kojima felt humiliated, and he shouted and asked, "It's not naïve, it's everyone's ideal!"

"Everyone?" Ying Luo snorted coldly: "You can't represent everyone, at least you can't represent me!"

Shiro Kojima is speechless.

Suddenly there was a cry outside, and a red light reflected through the window.

"Walk the water! go out of the water!" followed by the cries and cries for help.

Both of them in the room looked nervous.

Yingluo sighed in her heart: How can I encounter a fire everywhere, is it because of the lack of water in the five elements? Then she threw the long knife to Shiro Kojima and walked out the door.

"Wait, wait!" Shiro Kojima was a little confused: "You won't kill me?"

"You didn't kill me, I certainly won't kill you, and killing people is not a fun thing. Yingluo turned his head and said: "Let me remind you again, there are two kinds of people in this world who can't be fully trusted, one is a man, the other is a politician, and Fukuhara Echigo accounts for both, and you still have to use your brain more of his words." ”

After she finished speaking, she continued to walk outside, but stopped when she reached the door: "No matter whether you are naïve or not, your ideals are always good and worthy of admiration!"
