Chapter 8: Bamboo House
When Shengxin and the others cleaned up the mess, they climbed the thief's den halfway up the mountain.
Several low shacks emitted a foul smell, and the remaining grass robbers had all been killed, apparently not a single grass robber was left alive for the sake of the bounty.
But just as Shengxin arranged for his subordinates to move away the slightly valuable goods, a bunch of shivering children snuggled together caught his attention.
"What's going on with these kids? Shengfeng, Shengfeng. ”
Akutagawa Shengfeng heard the boss's shout, and hurriedly handed over the things in his hand to others, and ran to Shengxin's side:
"Boss, what do you command?"
Shengxin pointed to the child:
"What's going on with these kids?"
Akutagawa Moritomi suddenly realized:
"Forgot to report, these children were all locked in bamboo cages when we called, it should be the children of this group of thieves who were caught indiscriminately, and there is a dirt pit next to it, and there are still the bodies of two women and several men in it, these damn bastards, it's cheap for them to die."
Shengxin sighed, after understanding what Sheng Feng meant, this world is like this, and no one can protect the weak.
"Bring all these children back to Shingu House and ask these children, it is best if you can find your family, but if you can't find them, stay in Shingu House."
"Oh!"
Sheng Feng hurriedly went to comfort the children and told them that they were saved; But there was only fear in the eyes of these ragged children.
In this battle, Kiyomitsu Honjo, who was particularly heroic, was also taken seriously by Katsushin.
To his great surprise, the ronin he casually recruited in Kyoto was still related to the Niko family; After the city Qingguang's story, the distance between him and the city Qingguang was greatly shortened.
It turned out that Qingguang in the city was the third man who was the first fierce general of the Nizi family; Born in Izumo Takayakura Castle, the castle family has always been the Nishi-Izumo wealthy clan, his father Honjo Tsunemitsu in the battle of Ninjahara, desperately chased and killed Mori Moto, Mori Mototo, in desperation ready to seppuku, was stopped by his retainers, and his retainers put on his armor as bait, and Yuan escaped death; The First Battle of Shinohara caused many retainers of the Maori family to die in battle, and was called "Shinohara Collapse" by later generations.
is such a man who forced Maori Yuan to almost cut his stomach, but he became the first victim of the Nizi family after it weakened.
In the fourth year of Eiroku (1561), Niko Haruhisa died of illness and was succeeded by his son Yoshihisa Niko, and Mori Moto seized the opportunity to start the invasion of Iwami again, and in the same year he besieged the main castle of Tsunemi, which was garrisoning Iwami Ginzan.
At the critical moment, Niko Yoshihisa actually negotiated a private peace with Mori Moto, instigated by the Lord's faction, recognized Iwami Province as being at the disposal of the Mori family, and withdrew all reinforcements.
After holding Yamabuki Castle for a year, Honjo Tsunemitsu surrendered in desperation, and Mori Moto immediately beheaded him without knowing whether he was afraid of Honjo Tsunemitsu's bravery or to avenge Shinobihara's revenge.
The betrayal of his generals by Niko Yoshihisa caused great dissatisfaction among the wealthy families of the Nishi-Izumo family, and the people of Nishi-Izumo and the Higashi-Izumo of the Nizi family originally had a great contradiction; Nizi has been pacifying the Nizi Xingjiu rebellion for a long time, and Nizi Harumu has pacified the Shingu Party of Nizi Kunihisa, these two times are actually the forces that hit the people of Nishiidemo Country, plus this time the city Tsuneko was betrayed, so the people of Nishizumo Country directly chose to belong to the Maori family, what bullshit Niko's family, to hell!
Kiyomitsu Motojo, who was only fourteen years old at the time, had no choice but to take his mother away from the chaotic Izumo Province.
After knowing that Katsushin was a descendant of the Niko family, not only was he not disgusted, but he was a little excited, because Katsushin was actually a descendant of the Shingu Party who led Nishiidemo, and he was also the grandson of Niko Kunihisa, which was much more important in the hearts of Nishizumo people than the Niko family of Tsukiyama Tomita Castle.
"Please allow Your Highness, and the guards will follow from now on."
Faced with the sudden fall of Qingguang in the city, Shengxin was startled and hurriedly helped him up:
"There is no need to do this, if you don't dislike Shinmiyaya for insulting your status as a samurai, of course I am happy to have you as a companion."
Kiyomitsu smiled bitterly:
"Poor, hungry, and unable to do anything when my little sister is seriously ill, what kind of samurai are I."
Hearing what Qingguang said about the little sister who was seriously ill, Shengxin hurriedly asked:
"What is the disease of the housemate? I have a famous doctor I know well, and I will take you there. ”
When Qingguang heard this, he hurriedly bowed to the ground here, and was so excited that he thanked Shengxin again and again.
"Let's go! Since you are now a member of my new palace house, I will bear the cost of the medicine stone for my sister, and your reward will not be less. ”
After Shengxin finished speaking, he didn't continue to be verbose, saving people is important, so he took the city Qingguang and walked out, and the city Qingguang with a touched face only hated why he didn't meet the lord earlier.
Katsushin led Kiyomitsu to the edge of Kyoto, where the alleys narrowed and the ragged people outnumbered, making it clear that the shantytown was a huge refugee camp.
Because Shengxin and Qingguang were dressed as monks and warriors, the eyes of the dirty and numb people around them showed fear, everyone lowered their heads, and no one dared to look at them, only the hungry children dared to reach out to Shengxin to ask for food.
But as soon as Shengxin touched his body, he didn't bring rice balls today, but he didn't dare to give them a few silver judgments; Shengxin dared to promise that if he gave them the money, the family would not be able to keep it, and as long as he left, the others would immediately rush up and tear them apart, so as not to test their humanity.
Katsushin had no choice but to continue to hurry with Qingguang without saying a word, and the city Qingguang originally thought that the broken house he lived in was already the worst, but he didn't expect that there was such a place in Kyoto, he at least had relatively clean patch clothes and beloved saber ribs, and these people who were so dirty that they couldn't even see their faces clearly were really nothing.
To be precise, the people who live here are not even ordinary people to the high-ranking nobles and samurai lords, they are called "non-humans".
Katsushin is also very uncomfortable, as a soul in the twenty-first century, although not a virgin, but as long as there is a little conscience, he will want to help, but later Katsushin found that first, he can't help so many people, and second, if he mixes with these people, he will be rejected by the aristocratic circle and samurai in Kyoto, and Shiniyaya and Sea Butterfly House will be finished; This is the system and rules of this era, and he can't change anything now.
Walking through the particularly cluttered shantytown, next to a small open space, a courtyard made of bamboo and wood appeared in front of them, and a plaque at the door read the word "Cui Zhuju".
"This is the medical clinic of my teacher's friend Masasei Qu Naase, who calls himself Michisan; When you see him, you must call him Mr. Daosan in the way of Mingguo. ”
"Oh."
Qingguang of this city honestly followed Shengxin into Cuizhuju.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw several men and women busy before and after, dozens of medicine jars were popping in the courtyard, and there were many people in the corners of the courtyard who were as dirty as outside, waiting for the decoction of medicine.
Qingguang in this city saw that this medical center actually treated those non-people, and his heart suddenly felt good, and sure enough, the doctor's parents were hearted.
Shengxin and Qingguang walked through the medicine hall and walked into the room, where they saw a woman with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, packing the divided medicinal materials.
The woman looked up and saw Shengxin staring at her with a smile on her face, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, but she deliberately pretended to be cold and ridiculed:
"Master Shengxin, how can he have time to come to our humble house, the monk who is full of copper smell, is not welcome here."
Shengxin knew that this ghost girl was deliberately angry with him, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but asked:
"Sayuri, is Mr. Dozo here? My friend's sister is seriously ill and I would like to ask him to ......"
"Stop! Who is Sayuri! You're young! ”
Lily directly interrupted Katsushin's words, but she also heard someone seriously ill, so she asked again:
"My father has gone to the mansion of a great Nayan, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back until very late, what are the symptoms of the seriously ill person? Talk to me. ”
Hearing this, Shengxin nodded, raised his eyebrows at Lily, and turned to Qingguang and said:
"Talk to her! Sayuri also learned Mr. Daosan's medical skills one or two, so it shouldn't be ...... Issue. ”
Qingguang heard Katsushin say:
"Lord...... Lord, is it really okay? ”
Seeing this, Lily was a little anxious:
"Don't listen to this stinky monk's nonsense, I'm the daughter of Daosan."
"Oh, little sister, she is a little hot now, her abdomen hurts, and some vomiting, and she was in a coma two days ago."
"Ahh You wait for me. ”
Lily hurriedly put down the things in her hand, ran behind the screen, seemed to rummage through the cabinets and took a lot of things, and then ran out and grabbed the arm of Qingguang in the city:
"Where, take me over quickly, if it's typhoid, your sister may be more than lucky."
"Ahh
Hearing Lily say this, Qingguang was frightened, and hurriedly ran in the direction of his house with Baihe.
"Huh! You guys...... Wait for me...... Yikes! ”
Shengxin's volume gradually decreased, and looking at Lily's hot appearance, he smiled knowingly, and hurriedly followed the two of them.
