Chapter 14: Koshiro
Chapter 14: Koshiro
(Recently, I checked the information and read a little bit of Zen master Ze'an Zongpeng's "Immovable Wisdom Divine Record", and I felt that my soul was purified, and I turned grief and anger into motivation, and I coded another chapter.) Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info me, what a great, single dog! )
Yixin Dojo is located outside Frost Moon Village, and there is a courtyard of blue bricks and white tiles in the midst of the chessboard-like patchwork of paddy fields, which looks quite meaningful from a distance.
The courtyard resembles a Japanese style, and a wall protects it, and neat slogans are faintly heard from it.
William and the others were not the first batch of teenagers who came to learn swords, and probably not the last, the four of them honestly came to the door to explain their intentions, and under the leadership of a middle-aged man wearing a kimono and a beard, they came to the largest house in the courtyard.
It was a large and empty hall, and more than a dozen children dressed in training clothes and holding bamboo swords, were repeating the basic movements of swordsmanship under the slogan of the only elderly person in the room.
But in the end, it was a group of children, and when the four of William took off their shoes with their beards, walked into the hall, and saw four outsiders who did not wear training clothes coming in, the children who had worked hard before, their attention was inevitably a little distracted.
Alamis's eyes had been rolling since he entered the courtyard, and he kept looking around, and when he saw the somewhat ugly green training clothes worn by the students in the dojo, he smashed his mouth and slammed his mouth with dissatisfaction.
The person who commanded the training of this group of children was the master of the dojo, Koshiro, who was quite tall, wearing a simple kimono, this kind of loose clothing, which set off his body shape was a little thin, plus he wore a pair of round-framed glasses, and his long black hair was tied into a ponytail, which always made people feel that he was more middle-aged than like a swordsmanship teacher.
Koshiro was not angry with the distracted children, and when the bearded man came to him and explained the intentions of William's people, he told the children in the hall to go and rest for a while.
One moment these bear children were still wandering around on William and the others, and the next moment they heard a break, they cheered, and in the blink of an eye, they ran away, leaving only two curious people lying outside the door of the house to watch the movement in the house.
Koshiro didn't pay attention to them, but took a closer look at the four Williams, who were also secretly observing each other.
Koshiro seems to be very kind, with a smile on his face all the time, and I don't know if it's because of myopia, his eyes are always habitually narrowed, maybe because of his previous prejudice, William feels that he is not simple.
However, Koshiro is not simple, and it is impossible to see through the essence of William's traverser, so as to treat him differently, and even bow down, he just focused on observing the cocoons on the hands of several people, and then asked William and others if they had a foundation in swordsmanship.
Akin, Aramis and Wallon used to fight and fight based on actual combat experience such as street fights, and after gathering around William, they learned some practical skills related to swordsmanship from him, which may not even be considered half-hearted.
William had received some swordsmanship instruction in a serious way, but unfortunately the original master did not learn it seriously, but he had laid a certain foundation, so that he did not have to learn swordsmanship again.
These things, if Koshiro is a swordsman, he can't hide it, and if Koshiro is a mediocre person, there is no need to hide it, so William said the truth, Koshiro doesn't seem to be a person who pays attention to the view of the door, and asking these is just to consider where to arrange for William and others to start learning.
Koshiro talked with the four teenagers for a while, learned about their current situation, and after knowing that they were from other places, he kindly asked them if they wanted to live in the dojo first, but William politely refused.
The four of them are expected to study and practice here for a long time, and William knows that Koshiro is not as simple as it seems, and living in the dojo is equivalent to doing everything under Koshiro's nose, which is very inconvenient.
Koshiro proposed it and gave up.
William and the other four then paid the tuition fees, took the training clothes, and were told the weekday training arrangements of the dojo along the way, as well as some precautions, and then said goodbye and left when they saw that it was not early, and they still needed to find a place to stay.
In addition to the courtyard, seeing that there were no outsiders around, Wallon asked the doubts that had been held in his stomach for a long time: "Is that the master of the dojo, Koshiro?" He doesn't look like much, he looks more like, more like ....... ”
Wallon thought for a long time and couldn't come up with an exact adjective, but Aramis helped to pick it up: "It's like teaching people to read!" ”
Wallon clapped his hands in agreement, only to find that neither William, Akin, nor Aramis who had just helped him answer the conversation disagreed.
Aramis said, "Didn't you find the callus on his hand?" You can't turn the pages of a book alone. ”
Wallon stopped talking, and the four of them discussed where to live again, Aramis felt that the next days of their training in the dojo might be very hard, so the accommodation was very important, and it must be comfortable, but Ah Jin thought that good steel should be spent on the blade, and no one knew how much Denton's treasure was, so there was no need to be greedy for enjoyment and waste the money in his hand.
Wallon has always been unassertive, and in the end, it was Willian who made the decision and took the middle ground.
William himself was a man of the odds and bounds in society, and Aramis was also the son of a merchant, so the two easily found a role similar to a real estate agent in the village, and after discussing where to stay the next day, they found a tavern that looked less chaotic to live in temporarily.
The next day, William and the four of them were not in a hurry to go to the dojo, yesterday William had already said to the bearded man to find a place to live, the four of them wandered around with the intermediary in the morning, and finally took a fancy to a small courtyard on the outskirts of the village, a little remote, this courtyard is far away from the bustling dock area, so the price is not expensive, but it is relatively close to the Yixin dojo, just suitable for four people.
William was a man who didn't like to deal with such trivial matters, and he paid for it without much bargaining.
After a lot of formalities were processed and the small courtyard officially belonged to the four people, the time was already in the afternoon.
Aramis was looking for an excuse to make a busy day today, so he simply didn't go to the dojo to train, but he was glared at by William and turned off the fire.
When they came to the dojo, they found a red-haired boy of the same age as them, craned his neck, looking at the road facing the main entrance like a wangfu stone.
William originally thought that the other party was waiting for others, but he didn't expect that when they came closer, the red-haired young man's body did not move, but his head followed the figures of the four of them in a half circle, which was very funny.
The red-haired boy's eyes widened, and he didn't speak, and only when the four Williams were about to cross him into the gate did he deliberately clear his throat loudly.
William figured out a lot of things in a flash, turned around with a funny face, and stretched out his right hand: "My name is William, I guess Mr. Koshiro asked you to wait for us here, right?" ”
The red-haired young man grinned and stepped forward to hold William's right hand: "Edmond, you guessed right, the teacher asked me to help you learn some basic swordsmanship ...... for the next period of time, you are from other places?" By the way, are you pirates? ”
The atmosphere froze.
