Chapter 245: The Useless
The town of Heiso is the flattest of all the Toei villages in the mountains, so it has become the most populated village. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The vacant houses of the past have been filled by new villagers, and the village of more than 800 people reveals a small prosperity, and now every household has begun to cook, and the farmers who have been tired all morning have begun to return home.
"Sister Peach, I'm hungry." Isuke knelt in the wooden house, looking at the food served on the low table, and couldn't help but say.
"Your brother hasn't come back yet, don't steal it." Momoko wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead and said with a smile as she looked at Isuke who was holding her stomach.
"My brother is really a big eight, he must have gone to the ruins of the mountain city of the samurai master again in a daze, and he hasn't come back at this time." Isuke sighed and said helplessly.
"Then I'll pack up some rice balls, and you can send them to your brother." Hearing this, Momoko shook her head slightly, and responded with a helpless smile.
"Okay." Isuke got up and said with some grievances.
Unlike the peaceful scene in the village, the scene that Izo is facing at the moment is very grim.
"Moriranmaru-sama, are you going to summon Ashigaru to battle?" Jing San's hand did not let go of the handle of the knife, and after understanding the intention of Mori Lan Maru, he instinctively alerted,
"It's your obligation, why don't you bow to us and carry out the order?" The samurai on Senranmaru's side immediately shouted angrily when he heard this. A mere civilian, who dared to hesitate to the samurai's order, would have drawn his sword and cut off the civilian's head if it had been before.
"Moriranmaru-sama, we really don't want to go to the battlefield anymore, please don't force us." At the thought of being forced to join the Maeda Army again, Jing San immediately spoke sensitively, ignoring the surprised faces of several people in front of him.
"Is that cowardly?" Moriranmaru looked at Jing San and asked with a slight frown.
"No, it's not cowardice." Jing San took a step back slightly, making himself stand more steady, thinking of the words that Chen Xiaochu had said, and the embarrassed appearance of Senlan Maru who had been tied up and left Shanchun City, his heart became firm, and then continued: "We have the right to decide our own future, and we have the right to choose our own future, not to be the object of random drive. ā
"Looking for death?!" The other samurai on Mori Ranmaru's side couldn't hold back any longer when he heard this, and he could say such offensive remarks, which made him angrily pull out his katana and slash at Inozo, vowing to cut Izan in two with one sword.
"We are no longer at the mercy of others." Jing San kept his guard and shouted, drawing his sword to block the samurai's slash.
Perhaps it was the samurai's fatigue from the days of rushing and fleeing, and with the appearance of the tug-of-war, Izoichi lifted his foot under the samurai's abdomen, making it impossible for the other party to dodge.
"Ahh A cry of pain rang out, and Moriranmaru's eyes widened in disbelief as his Hachimoto samurai was kicked to the ground. A samurai was instantly defeated by a civilian, but I had never seen such a scene.
"I'm going to kill you, ahhhh The samurai who fell to the ground didn't care about the pain in his lower body, and the huge humiliation made him quickly get up, wanting to continue swinging his sword and slashing over.
"That's enough, stop." Moriranmaru shouted at the samurai who stood up, stopping the other man's actions, "If he wants to kill you, he will be dead just when you fell to the ground." ā
"But ,,,ć" The samurai got up and wanted to say something, but when he saw Mori Lanmaru's resolute eyes, he suddenly didn't dare to continue moving.
The scene was a little silent for a moment, and just when Izo wanted to make an escape operation, Moriranmaru spoke: "You are a Dongying person, please don't forget this, this is the responsibility that each of us must shoulder, and face the threat of survival together, since you have served in the Maeda Army, you should contribute to the Maeda Army even more at this moment, otherwise you will be a traitor in the group, a useless person who does not contribute to the group." ā
"Useless?" When Jing San heard this accusation against himself, he immediately retorted: "Is it useful to abandon your parents and follow you to attack the Huaxia people?" When you return to your hometown, you learn that your parents have died in the civil war, is this the role of the group? I won't trust you anymore at this moment, I almost lost my brother in the last battle of Shanchun City, so what situation will I face next time, lose all the people I can cherish? ā
Pointing a katana at Mori Ranmaru, the more Izan spoke, the more excited he became, and the fear of the samurai in his heart became less and less.
"You want to take back the baggage of Shanchun City, the food we once offered to you, and then you need to drive our families out of here with you, so that they continue to face the threat of war, just because you need people to transport it."
"What do we get by doing all this?"
Inozo shouted questioningly, "Moriranmaru-sama, you answer me, what did we get?" ā
Moriranmaru was silent for a moment, he couldn't answer what the civilians could get out of the war, driving the civilians to invade other civilizations, nothing more than looting, and if the invasion was thwarted, all the blame would go to the instigators, and it could not be said that the instigators gathered the greed in everyone's hearts, and no one would admit it. The righteous name of protecting the family and defending the country will only respond when it endangers the lives of every civilian family, otherwise they will only have nothing to do with themselves and have no sense of crisis.
"It's not about getting it or not getting it, but about this is your fate, the common fate of our Dongying people." Mori Lanmaru looked at the excited Jing San and said slowly.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves.
Moran Ranmaru was surprised to find that the samurai he had sent to other villages had all returned to him the same way.
"Lord Moranmaru, these people actually dare to oppose the summoning order." More than a dozen samurai gathered in front of Moriranmaru one by one to tell about the situation they encountered on the road, and the results were all the same, and there were cards on the roads in each village, and members of the autonomous team were arranged to guard against robbers in shifts, and the intrusion of these samurai immediately alarmed everyone.
The members of the autonomous team with various weapons, followed their respective squad leaders, and followed these samurai all the way here, and the number of people gathered was already more than a hundred.
"The three people of the well." When the leaders of the teams saw Jing San, they immediately gathered and saluted, these days they were able to repel the thieves who invaded the village, thanks to the command of Jing San, and the autonomous team was also formed by Jing San, although Jing San did not claim to be the leader of all the villages, but has faintly become the object of everyone's obedience.
"Brother, are these people wild samurai?" Isuke was chewing a rice ball in his mouth, holding a katana, approaching Izo and asked, I only wanted to deliver food to my brother, but I didn't expect to encounter a member of the autonomous team on the road to warn that someone was invading, so I immediately followed everyone over.
