Itaro is a very young man, only nineteen years old this year. Because his mother fell and gave birth to him when she went to the well to fetch water, she was named Idaro. He doesn't have a surname, though.

Later, the new government was determined to reform, and it was inconvenient for the people to have no name and no surname, so the Meiji government decided in 1870 that ordinary people could have the right to a surname and give themselves a surname.

Itaro's family is very poor, and the family can't eat enough after hard work. So in order not to starve to death, he left home and went to work as an ashigaru.

Idaro is on duty at the dock today. It was already noon, and Idaro felt a little hungry. So be prepared to extort something to eat from the people on the docks. As a conqueror, he felt that he had this right. So I carefully sorted out the royal loan on it, so that I could look more majestic!

Idaro was about to take a step when he suddenly noticed a ship approaching the dock at a rapid pace on the surface of the sea not far away. Idaro immediately remembered his duty, so he picked up the iron cannon and ran towards the pier pier. It's just a ship, there's no need to sound an alarm.

Itaro cracked his mouth and smiled, it seemed that it was a leaky unlucky ship. If it's hard for them, maybe you can get some benefits.

As soon as the boat docked, a sweaty young man jumped out of the boat. As soon as he landed, he stood up straight, and said to Idaro and a few people: "A few brothers, a few brothers, we are a merchant ship, and the boat leaked halfway!" It took us a whole day to get to this point. We fixed the ship here and left. After speaking, he also stuffed a few copper coins into several people.

Several of his companions also followed suit, gesturing with iron cannons. That young man was Niu Mancun. Because of his great achievements in the search for first-line red last time, and he usually uses his brain, his status in the Bloody Hand Gang has improved very quickly.

After saying that, he shouted to the boat: "How many of you are blind? Don't hurry up and put the springboard yet. ”

When he was thinking about how to knock a few jars of wine from the head, Niu Mancun took the initiative to greet him and said, "Several military masters, you have also seen that my warehouse is full of good wine. But this cabin is leaking. There were not many people on our ship, so we asked a few military masters to help move the goods. No matter how much wine you snatch back, you will share half of it. ”

Idaro's companions were overjoyed when they heard this, and immediately put down their weapons and went down to the cabin. But he was stopped by Idaro, who said, "How much can a few of us move?" It would be better to call all the people in the camp, and then we will get more wine. ”

Afterwards, Intaro and the others laughed and watched the sailors search for water. The dozen or so of them only kept the water in the cabin from rising.

In this way, the sailors on the ship were busy digging for water to maintain the balance of the hull, and the ashigaru soldiers happily cooperated with each other to move the sake jar to the shore. Soon the small half-cabin wine jar was moved. At this time, the sailors in the cabin were heard shouting, "Turn your head and find the leak." It should be termite-eaten. ”

It seems that he also wants to save the rest of the sake, and doesn't want to let the ashigaru take advantage of him again. But the Ashigaru general was very cunning and felt that it was not enough to take advantage of this. He exclaimed, "How can you repair the ship if you only move half of it?" Keep moving! ”

Ashigaru General also felt a little embarrassed to see that he had taken such a big advantage. Seeing that the sailors on the ship had blocked the leakage, he ordered the Ashigaru soldiers to help fetch the water. Soon, the water in the cabin was washed away, revealing the area where the water was still seeping. I saw that the wood there was very rotten, and it looked like it had been eaten by termites.

Niu Mancun looked pained, and said weakly: "I won't repay the debt." The wine is on the docks, so go and carry it yourself. ”
