37. Snow

"Lord, you promised to help me!" Keiji Maeda looked at me with a begging look on his face and said, "I can only pin my hopes on you now, so I must, I must, I must ......."

"Alright, alright! Didn't I go with you! "I said impatiently." If you keep nagging like this, I'm going back! ”

"Good, good, everything is up to you! Isn't it okay to listen to you! When he heard that I was going back, he hurriedly agreed, and then hurried forward. In the end, he is a person with martial arts, and he limps a lot faster than me.

"Really!" I snorted and walked along, but it was ridiculous to see him. At the moment, Keiji and I are walking along the bustling street to the southern area of Sakai Town, which is an area with a high concentration of artists and cultural people, and there are also many theaters and Seimaka Ryokaku, where Sen no Shuri and Hasegawa live in this generation, and we are now visiting the shrine troupe of Akuni. In fact, anyone who looks at it can understand that the so-called visit to the troupe has only one purpose, and that is their protagonist Shrine Maiden Aguo!

It has been 3 days since that tea party of Sen Ri Xiu, and during this period, Keiji Maeda was not idle, and he actually visited 11 times in 3 days! (I guess he was once and then wandered around the door for a while before going in.) However, only on two occasions did Ah Guo personally come out to greet him politely (in my opinion, it was actually perfunctory) two sentences, and the rest of the time it was a complete "not there!" Or, "Inconvenient!" And he sent it out. In this case, Keiji Maeda finally thought of having a lord like me, and came to me with a flat face!

I'm not a big man, and I still remember the public insult he gave me the other day! In this case, I immediately proposed: If you want me to come forward, you can, but you must accept the punishment for the rude behavior of that day! I don't want him to agree without even beating him, this result is really surprising to me, I thought he would have to bargain with me, it seems that the magic of love is really harmful! Even so, I didn't spare him, so I borrowed two latches from the innkeepers, and let the two guards give him a "dealer beating" in a solid way, which counted out the evil breath in my chest! In fact, I also know in my heart that if he didn't volunteer, we really couldn't get him!

"Lord, you ...... Is there any way to do it? Walking on the road, Keiji Maeda was still not very relieved.

"Not yet?" I didn't look at him and walked on.

"No?" He stood stunned. "How could you not?! Haven't you always had a good idea of this kind of thing? ”

"Who are you listening to say that I have a good way of doing things like this? Or 'always'! I finally turned my head and stared at him and asked.

"You have a wife and a concubine, and you can't help it? Besides, everyone says ......"

"Even if everyone says so, it's up to you to start first!" I hatefully interrupted his next words, and when I saw that he stayed there and did not move, I said again: "I have only met Miss Ah Guo twice, what kind of person she is, what kind of temperament and temperament she has, what hobbies she has, I don't have any concept of these at all, how can I tell one, two, three, four now?" All I know is that she supported the burden of rebuilding Izumo Taisha Shrine at a young age, and she traveled all over the world without danger in this troubled world, and she is definitely not a simple character! If you want to hold a beautiful woman with just a few kind words, it is a complete pipe dream! Now I can only slowly contact the relationship to enhance understanding, and then find a way through her character! This kind of thing can't be 'the cow doesn't drink water and force the head', I can only give you some help and advice, the key is still up to you! ”

"That's all it can be!" Keiji Maeda and I continued to walk forward helplessly.

Soon we came to a hotel called "Nishi Chaoya", and Keiji Maeda led me straight through the hall to the backyard without saying hello, and no one stopped him, it seems that all the guys already know and know his purpose! We stopped in front of a small courtyard that was elegant and secluded, when a childish shout of "hey, hey, hey......" came from inside.

I stretched out my head and looked through the half-open door, which was a solitary courtyard with seven or eight rooms, paved with smooth green bricks, and some simple flowers and plants planted under the windows of the two compartments. In the open space in the middle of the standing stood an eight or nine-year-old girl, only with clear eyebrows, beautiful teeth, white lips and red lips. She wears a pale cyan simple kimono with two black straps tied around her hair and sleeves, just like the way she cleans up in "Smart Ikyu". She was now bare with a pair of white lotus-like arms, holding a long-handled wooden knife with a slightly curved head in both hands, and she was practicing there.

"Bang! Nation! I knocked twice on the wooden door with my hand and asked inside, "Excuse me, is Miss Ah Guo here?" ”

"My sister she...... How are you again! The girl stopped her hand and turned back to answer, but when she saw Keiji Maeda beside me, she immediately frowned cutely, it seems that the "harassment" of the past few days has annoyed her. "My sister is here, come back again!"

"Ah Xue, don't be like this!" Keiji Maeda said without any self-esteem. "Where's your sister?"

"I don't know!" Ah Xue replied very simply. "And I don't know when she'll be back, what else do you want to ask?"

"Ahem, ahem, can we wait for her here?" Seeing Keiji Maeda's pitiful gaze, I had no choice but to say, and immediately added: "We will only stay in the courtyard, and we won't disturb your martial arts practice!" ”

"That'...... All right! She thought about it for a moment, agreed, and then stopped talking to us.

"Ah Xue ......" I recalled while watching her practice knives, and then finally remembered that she was the little girl that Ah Guo held in his arms back then. I saw that she practiced every move and style, and she didn't care about the sweat oozing from her forehead, which showed that she was all passionate about martial arts, and an idea quietly popped up when she saw this situation. "Good!" I suddenly shouted loud applause.

"What are you shouting about?!" Ah Xue, who was disturbed by my practice, was obviously very unhappy, and said in a dissatisfied tone. "Do you know martial arts?"

"You can't say that, but we're also battle-hardened samurai!" I grabbed Keiji Maeda, who was bored on the side, and said, "Just talk about this guy!" Although he has nothing to do all day long, he is lazy and shameless, but his martial arts are definitely first-class! ”

"Is it true?" It may be that the relationship with Keiji Maeda's impression is too bad, but Axue is still skeptical. "It's just such a day and night, just around ...... The person who turns around will be a samurai with strong martial arts? My teacher is the famous sword master Tsukahara Buden, can he be better than me? ”

"Although you are a famous teacher, he is really fighting on the battlefield after all! Look at this head again, this muscle ......" I sell my "inferior products" like a profiteer. "The so-called body strength is not lost, and one force will drop ten! How about it, do you want to give it a try? ”

"Is that okay?" Ah Xue's heart was obviously moved, but she was still hesitating.

"Only practice can produce true knowledge, and if you practice for another hundred years, you will only be working behind closed doors!" Seeing the look on her face, I deliberately provoked her and said, "What? It can't be scared! ”

"I'm going to be scared of this guy!" Hearing my last words, Ah Xue stared at her beautiful big eyes. "Wait, I'll go find another wooden knife!"

"I haven't done anything yet, what kind of martial arts do I have to compete with this little girl?" As soon as Ah Xue entered the house, Maeda Keiji complained.

"Stupid! That's the right thing! "I lifted my leg and kicked him." We haven't heard of Miss Ah Guo having any other relatives, so Ah Xue should be her closest relative. It seems that she likes martial arts very much, as long as you gain her admiration and favor, things will be successful! ”

"So what should I do?" Keiji Maeda's eyes lit up suddenly.

"You have to get the advantage but don't beat her, and you have to let her see that! Finally...... "I thought about it for a moment. "You're going to let her hurt you!"

"Hurt me?" Keiji Maeda didn't understand it now.

"Why are you so stupid?!" I hate iron and steel. "Children are naturally responsible for hurting others, don't you just 'depend' on Miss Aguo now? Besides......" I looked at him and said, "Anyway, no one else saw it, so all the injuries on this body are caused by her, at least Miss Ah Guo will have to keep visiting you until the injuries are healed!" ”

"You're so wise!" He couldn't stop laughing.

"Come on!" At this time, Ayuki walked out of the room and stuffed a wooden knife in the shape of a knife into Maeda Keiji's hand.

"Let's get started!" I yelled. The two of them stood in the middle of the courtyard, staring at each other and slowly raising the wooden knife in their hands.
