Chapter 207: Gourd House (II)
"Zong Hai, these three behind me...... I guess it's someone I know. β
Ogata smiled bitterly at Munekai.
"I'm sorry, Zonghai, can I let Tianmanji stay with 3 more people?"
Sokai glanced at Mamiya, Makimura, and Matsumoto.
ββ¦β¦ Okay. After sighing lightly, Zong Hai nodded with a wry smile, "Anyway, there is still a lot of food in the small temple, and it doesn't matter if there are three more people." 4 donors, please come in. β
Sokai led the five people of Ogata through the temple gate of Tenmanji Temple and stepped into the Buddhist hall of Tenmanji Temple.
The palace glanced at King Fudo Ming who was enshrined in the Buddha hall, raised his eyebrows, and then asked Zong Hai, who was walking in front of him:
"You actually worship the King of Fudo Ming, can you not be a member of the Tianxiang Sect?"
"Oh?" Zong Hai turned his head and cast a surprised gaze at the palace behind him, "This benefactor, you even recognize my Tianxiang Sect?" Did Ogata-sama and Ms. Amachi tell you? β
"No, they didn't tell you which sect your temple belonged to, I just simply recognized the monks of the Tianxiang Sect from the Buddha statue enshrined in the Buddha hall."
"I used to study some Buddhism in Nara, so I knew that the sect that only worships the Fudo Ming King in the Buddhist hall is the Tenjo sect."
"Haha." Zong Hai chuckled a few times, "What an accident...... I didn't expect that the guests who came for 2 days in a row would recognize my Tianxiang Sect. β
The palace recognized the sect he belonged toβwhich seemed to make Zonghai very happy.
Ogata clearly felt that Sokai was more kind to the new guests of Mamiya and Makimura.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Ogata and the others came back quite in time.
When they returned, Zong Hai and Xian Hai were preparing to make dinner tonight.
After Zong Hai asked Xianhai to take some more rice, he personally ran to the well and fetched some more water for cooking tonight.
After bringing a bucket of well water from the well, Sokai was about to move to the back hall when he noticed that Ogata was standing behind him at some point.
"Donor." Zong Hai smiled slightly, "Are you here to drink water?" β
ββ¦β¦ Zonghai. The expressionless Ogata didn't pick up what Jonghai had just said, but asked Jongkai, "I'm asking youβare you really...... Have you told us everything you know? β
"Donor, why do you mention this?" Zong Hai smiled bitterly, "It's true, the little monk really told you everything he knew. β
ββ¦β¦ It's good to tell us everything. Ogata, who still had no expression on his face, said softly, "If there's anything else you forgot to tell us, if you do, please let us know." β
When he said the word "timely", Ogata accentuated his tone, making the tone of his entire sentence rather strange.
"Little Sangha." Zong Hai still had that warm smile on his face, "If the little monk remembers any important information, the little monk will tell you in time." Let's go, donor, let's go back to the back hall and cook together. There are a lot of guests today, and it's up to you to get started. β
ββ¦β¦ Well. β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Tonight's Tianmanji Temple is particularly lively, and there are some people who can't sit next to the pot.
There was a small turmoil at today's dinner, and that was - Matsumoto Kiyohito cried directly while eating vegetable porridge.
Kiyohito Matsumoto said that he had not eaten such hot food for a long time, and he couldn't help but shed tears of excitement and happiness.
After simply settling today's dinner and Xiankai began to clean up everyone's dishes and chopsticks, Ogata picked up his knife and stood up while glancing at Mamiya.
Faced with Ogata's glance, Mamiya nodded knowingly, and then picked up his knife as well.
"Zong Hai." Ogata asked Munekai, "Can you lend us a room?" I...... I'm going to have something to talk to these friends of mine. β
"No problem." Zong Hai said without thinking, "You can just take the suite of rooms I lent you and the female benefactor yesterday." β
"Thanksgiving. Amachi, gone. Ogata nodded at Amachi.
"Okay."
"Makimura." Mamiya also bowed his chin at Makimura, "Let's go, let's go and have a good chat with Ogata-kun." β
"If you have something to talk to Ogata, just go yourself." Makimura cast a displeased gaze at Asamamiya, "Why did you pull me?" I don't have anything I want to talk to Brother Ogata. β
"No, no, no, what I'm going to talk to Ogata-kun, you'd better listen to it too. Be obedient and obediently follow. β
"Alas...... You're so troublesome......" After letting out a long sigh, Makimura reluctantly grabbed his big sword and followed him out of the restaurant.
The restaurant, which was originally bustling with activity, became deserted in an instant due to the departure of the four people from Ogata.
All that remains is Xianhai who cleans up the dishes and chopsticks, Sokai who cleans up the pot, and Matsumoto who sits blankly and doesn't know what to do next.
"This donor." Zong Hai smiled slightly at Matsumoto, "We have a bathroom here, if the donor doesn't dislike it, you can borrow our bathroom to wash yourself." β
"Huh? Can you really lend me the bathroom? Matsumoto asked urgently.
"Of course."
After that, Zong Hai looked at Xianhai beside him.
"Xianhai, when you finish washing the dishes and chopsticks, help this donor prepare hot water for washing his body."
"Yes."
"Thank you very much!" Matsumoto's eyes overflowed with tears of excitement again, and he lay on the ground, sitting down on the soil for Zong Hai and Xian Hai.
I secretly sighed: I am really happy today, not only to eat the long-lost hot food, but also to take a long-lost hot bath.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Ogata took the lead in front and walked into the guest room that Sokai had lent him and Mamachi last night with three people, including Amachi, Mamiya, and Makimura.
On the tatami mats of the guest room, there is also a futon that Ogata and Amachi used last night.
Looking at the two futons on the tatami mats, Makimura raised his eyebrows, and then said to Ogata in a tone that I don't know whether it was a joke or a serious tone:
"Brother Ogata...... I really envy you more and more, even if you have a beautiful woman to accompany you, you can still have a warm bedding to sleep on. β
"It's just a warm futon to sleep on, and you still have a beautiful woman to sleep with you."
"We're all prisoners thrown onto this island, why are you so far from me?"
"What kind of beauty sleeps with me...... Ogata cast a helpless look at Makimura, "Although there are two futons here, we don't sleep together, and while one sleeps, the other needs to keep vigil for the other." β
After Ogata's words fell, Mamiya tapped Makimura's chest:
"Sit down obediently, and don't talk about these things that you don't have."
"Yes, yes......" After answering several "yes" in a perfunctory tone, Makimura sat casually in the corner of the room holding his big sword.
"Alright, Ogata-kun." Holding his sword, Mamiya slowly sat down on the tatami mat, and with a meaningful smile, he said to Ogata, "Let's ...... Let's have a good chat. β
"You and I both have a lot of questions to ask each other."
"Ogata-kun, let you start asking."
"In that case, then you're welcome."
Ogata did not sit on the ground like Manomiya and Makimura, but stood and asked directly towards Mamiya:
"Mamiya, I've heard a lot about you from Hasegawa when I was transported to this island."
"I already know that you have the name 'Streamer Hachiman', and I also know that you are a subordinate of an unknown person with the title of 'Buddha Enemy'."
"At the same time, I know that you have a serious suspicion of being deliberately caught by the officials of the Fire Pay thieves."
"Who the hell are you? What is the reason why you were deliberately caught by the officials who were changed by the fire pay thieves? In order to be able to climb this island? β
"Who the hell am I......" Mamiya shrugged, "Don't you already know a lot about me?" Knowing that my name is Kyuro Mamiya, knowing that I have the title of 'Streamer Hachiman', and knowing that my lord's nickname is 'Buddha Enemy'. β
"Manomiya ......," Ogata frowned slowly, "answer my question well." β
"Okay." Jian Miya spread his hands, "In that case...... I'm going to be honest with you. β
"Ogata-kun, I told you before that my lord is a businessman."
"It's not a lie."
"Mu Cun and I both belong to a rice merchant named 'Hulu House'."
