March 26 sunny and windless

11 days ago, Xianzhi and I buried the old man Miaole Zhai. He walked peacefully, as if he were asleep. Because the old man had explained in advance, Xianzhi did not show much grief for his grandfather's death (or perhaps buried in his heart).

Yesterday, I had a wedding with Senzhi (what?). Underage girls? I've just turned 16! Besides, this is the Japan of the Warring States! At that time, Nobunaga's wife, Nohime, was unmarried at the age of 17, and she was rumored to be a saltless concubine among the nations. I don't want to let Xianzhi suffer from this! ）。 Only three or five neighbors came, and the weddings and funerals of civilians were easy to be overlooked.

Today is my first day on the job. Because I don't have the skills of Shinhachiro, and I don't want to let Xianzhi go to the streets and alleys to see people! (It's okay to help the neighbors once in a while) so I have to choose to work for someone else!

The one who agreed to hire me was Miriemon, the owner of the Kitoriya grocery store in Machikami. He is a kind elder, and he is a close friend and chess friend with Miao Le Zhai. After listening to the request of me and Xianzhi at my wedding, he immediately agreed to let me work as a helper (or handyman) in his shop.

After breakfast, the affectionate Xianzhi made sure to take me to the store. I couldn't resist her, so I had to go out together. In fact, Senshiba's family does not live in the town. Because it was moved later, and for the convenience of collecting medicine and Shinhachiro's hunting, the house was built on a hillside three miles away from the castle town. He also opened a half-acre medicine garden next to the house to plant some commonly used herbs.

After walking a short distance, we saw a young man fainting on the side of the road.

"Don't move!" Just as I was about to reach out and help the young man up, Xianzhi suddenly pulled me.

"You can't move easily when you have an attack!" Xianzhi said to me after taking a closer look. I looked at the young man's pale face and purple lips and remembered that he might have had a heart attack.

"You're watching here! I'll go back and get my medicine! With that, Xianzhi ran towards the house.

Xianzhi poured out a few dark green pills the size of soybeans from a small porcelain bottle and put them in the young man's mouth that I had broken. He poured a few more mouthfuls of water with a kettle.

Seeing that the young man's face had regained some blood, his breathing was much more even. I helped him up and sat him down under a big tree.

"Did you save me? Is...... Thank you so much! The relieved young man asked in a weak voice.

"Are you feeling better? Drink some more water! After watching the young man take a few more sips of water, I asked, "Why did you fall here alone?" ”

The young man told us that he was a samurai and that he was traveling far and wide. As he had just crossed the mountain in front of him, he suddenly felt a great pain in his heart. He saw a hut here and didn't want to faint before he could get there.

"Samurai?" In this age when power is everything, the only person I've ever seen thinner than me is a samurai. I can't help but wonder.

"This old problem has to be done two or three times a year, and I don't want to make it outside this time. It seems that I am destined to be entangled by it for the rest of my life! Alas......! The young man (I'm still not used to calling him a samurai) shook his head helplessly.

"You...... You should still take care! The body is ...... (I guess he doesn't know what a revolution is) props up the head, and the head holds knowledge! The body is broken, and no amount of knowledge is nowhere to pretend! ”

"Your words are well understood...... No! No! …… Be...... It's really refreshing! The young man stood up. Thank you very much for your teachings! As for the great grace of saving lives, there is no way to thank them! Although I can't tell you my name right now for some reason, I hope that in the future I will have the opportunity to repay your kindness! ”

"There are some medicines here, please bring them!" Xianzhi suddenly handed the small porcelain vase to the young man. "You take one pill when you feel tightness in your chest and five pills when you have a seizure. Although this medicine can suppress the disease, it cannot eradicate it. Maybe...... Master Tashiro Mikisai of the Kanto Furukawa place can have a way! If...... If he's still alive! ”

"I can't imagine it! Madame (Xianzhi, who had heard someone call her Madame for the first time, blushed with shame) was so proficient in the art of disambiguation! The young man looked at Xianzhi in some surprise. Then I'll take my leave! ”

"What an interesting person!" Looking at the young man's back in the distance, I said to Xianzhi.

"Ahh Go to work! We both yelled together.
