Although he didn't get what he wanted, Kuroda Yoshitaka was actually very happy, when the people were more concerned about their own food, clothing, housing and transportation, it showed that their lives were relatively rich, and living a rich life meant that they did not have too much dissatisfaction with the rule of the Kuroda family, if there was any dissatisfaction, he had already heard the relevant news from their mouths.

At this moment, Kuroda Yoshitaka and his men were disturbed by a loud noise, and they looked to the west, which was also a small izakaya, a child dressed like a beggar, surrounded by several adults, who seemed to be preparing to beat him.

"Why are you stealing our food?" One shouted loudly.

"Yes! Why don't you learn well at a young age? See that I don't kill you. "A few young men who were also dressed very ordinarily were indeed punching and kicking the young man, and the young man was obviously protecting something on his waist with his hands, Kuroda Yoshitaka estimated that it was the food that this kid stole from!

Yoshitaka Kuroda immediately made a look at Kiyomasa Kato, and Kiyomasa Kato immediately went to stop those people.

"Several, please don't beat the child anymore, he stole something from you, our lord is willing to compensate you in full."

Seeing that Kato Kiyomasa had a katana hanging from his waist, and his clothes were also dressed in samurai civilian clothes, he knew that he must be a samurai, and to be able to be called a lord by a samurai must be a very noble lord lord.

These people immediately wilted, and nodded again and again that they had nothing to do, and quickly left the scene, they are not stupid, since this lord is willing to protect this beggar, no matter what it is, at least the lord lord has a heart of mercy, and if he doesn't leave, do you wait for the samurai lord to come and cut off his head with a knife?

"Toranosuke, give this kid some of the dry food we left over from before." Yoshitaka Kuroda said.

"Hey!"

The boy slowly got up from the ground, and he hadn't been beaten a few times, so he hadn't actually been hurt, and it was only then that Kuroda could clearly see that what he was holding in his hand was nothing more than a small piece of the most ordinary bread that no one else might even want.

Because of the relationship between Kuroda's high school, the trade between the Kuroda family and the Ming country became very frequent, and there were already many Ming people in the Kuroda family's territory, so the pasta, which was very popular among the people in the Ming country, was also popular in the island country.

At least the people in the Kuroda family are already familiar with this kind of food, but the bread has a disadvantage, that is, the taste is relatively hard, and many civilians don't like this thing very much, while the ordinary soldiers and samurai lords who fight in the war fall in love with this food.

"Son, why are you stealing a piece of bread?" Yoshitaka Kuroda didn't know why he walked up and asked him slowly.

"Because my mother is sick, and she hasn't eaten in a long time, I have to get her some food, or she will starve to death."

"I see, what kind of disease is your mother suffering from?"

"I ...... I don't know, my mother has been coughing all the time, and she has been not well, we have been fleeing from the country of Mino, in the east, and my father died on the road, and now my mother and I are the only two people who depend on each other.

The Kuroda family arranged a place for us to live, but no one took care of us after that. In the beginning, my mother could also do some odd jobs for the samurai master's family to earn some living expenses, but now that my mother is sick, I have no choice but to come out and steal things, and I don't want my mother to die. When he said this, the child unconsciously began to cry.

Kuroda Yoshitaka only had time to look at this child at this time, the child is not very old, it looks like the body may only be more than four years old, at such an age to experience such a sad story, it really shouldn't be, this era has really created too many tragedies, no wonder my father has always said that this is an era of killing, even if other people don't kill you, the background of this era will slowly crush people who should not have died, this is the tragedy that the times bring to people.

And thinking of his younger brother, who is only five or six years old now, and then look at this child, Kuroda Yoshitaka's heart immediately softened, he was originally a very benevolent monarch, and many times he was ruthless to do something, which is still essentially different from Kuroda Vocational High School, so he can only be a master of Success, but in terms of benevolence, he is definitely more suitable than Kuroda Vocational High School, and he knows better what the heart of benevolence is.

"Son, why don't you take us to see how your mother is, well! Perhaps, I know a very good doctor who can bring your mother to him for treatment. ”

"But we don't have any money to use to treat my mother, not even a copper plate." The child was very excited when he heard Kuroda Yoshitaka's words, but after thinking that it would cost money to treat his mother, his eyes dimmed again, and he couldn't see a trace of brilliance at all, what a poor child!

"Don't worry, you can take me there! If it costs money, I will contract your mother's illness, and as long as I can cure your mother's illness, I will be willing to pay for you. ”

"Master Samurai, is what you said true? Are you really willing to help heal my mother? But why is that? We are very poor now, we don't even have a copper plate, we don't have food, why do you want to save my mother? ”

"Because of you, because you are a very beloved child, your filial piety makes me very moved, my father has always taught me that being a person should be a person with feelings, if a person has no feelings for his relatives around him, then he is actually not a person. And your filial piety to your mother really touched me, and I am willing to do my part for your mother's treatment. ”

When the child heard this, he immediately knelt down in front of Kuroda Yoshitaka, but before he could kowtow, he was helped up by Kuroda Yoshitaka.

"You don't need to thank me, the person you need to thank is yourself, I just said that it was your filial piety that touched me."
