The little maid Hanako screamed in shock, and the sword of the left emon was stagnant, and she couldn't cut it down. It turned out that between the lightning and flint, Chongwen swooped over, and as soon as he grasped the blade, he held it so tightly that the blade couldn't pierce his neck. Blood flowed down Chongwen's palm, to his wrist, and then to his arm, wetting the sleeves of his robe and dripping onto the floor.

Hanako was in a hurry, and suddenly the door opened, and Kayama Yoshimasa roared and rushed into the room. The knife idiot's hand grabbed the wrist of the bullet left emon like a tong, and the other hand gently broke the right hand of Chongwen holding the blade, and when Chongwen's five fingers were completely released, Yoshimasa twisted his left hand, and the short knife fell to the ground, Yoshimasa raised his foot and kicked the knife to the side, and as soon as the hand was released, the filthy multi-head fit and threw himself on the ground.

Kayama Yoshimasa stood up, Hanako had already pounced, ripped off the corner of his robe to wrap Chongwen's wounds, and cried: "What is Your Highness doing, is it worth it to bear such a serious injury for this kind of person." ”

Chongwen grabbed the wrist of the injured hand with one hand and said with a smile: "What is this little injury, into the mother, Yamaguchi City was unharmed, but I didn't expect to be hit on my own territory." ”

Huashan Yoshimasa looked at Chongwen puzzled and asked, "Da Wai Hai, what the hell is going on." ”

Chongwen said with a smile: "Who enters the mother's house, this guy is going to die if he doesn't agree with him, I can't watch him die in my study, how can the daughter of the flower son clean up the blood." ”

Kayama Yoshimasa looked at Danzaemon and asked, "Then what about this guy and throw it on the street?"

Chongwen said: "Just a good person to do it to the end, so what. You drag this guy to the Lily Building, and ask Sayuri to find him a place to settle down, let him take a bath, have a full meal, don't let him die, and wait for me to ask. ”

Birshan's head bowed and said, "Yes!"

Hanako had already wrapped Chongwen's wound and the bleeding stopped. Chongwen stood up and kept complaining: "Who are the people who enter the mother, they are either treacherous ghosts or cheap pigs." On this day, there is not a pleasant thing ... Hanako, go clean up the bathrobe, mother's house, it's not okay not to take a bath, look at the old blind man's convenience, I have to relax. ”

Chongwen's private bathroom, he soaked comfortably in a large wooden barrel, and a maid waited on his side. Chongwen didn't let her scrub it, but he was in charge of the wine, and he found that soaking in the bathtub and drinking was the greatest enjoyment in life, which was a hundred times more comfortable than sitting in the Fengtian Palace, but his right hand was injured, and the wine cup in his left hand was slightly awkward.

The old blind man knelt outside the curtain, and Chongwen chatted with him without a match.

"I heard that Suruga is a good place where real mulberry and matsutake mushrooms are abundant, and catfish is delicious. ”

"Yes, this is all thanks to the protection of Lord Imagawa Taifan, there is no war in Suruga Province, and naturally the country is safe and secure. The old blind man's voice was hoarse, mixed with a hint of sharpness, which reminded Chongwen of the male duck voice of Wu Liang, the eunuch in the past.

Chongwen picked up the wine cup, took a sip of Fangjin Yaki, and said: "Imagawa Jungong conquered the entire Kyushu with only 200 horses, and he is really a famous general in the country, I admire him very much, and his descendants must have inherited the style of the brave warrior family." ”

The old blind man replied without emotion: "Taifan Gong is a benevolent king, treats the people well, obeys the shogunate carefully, and never provokes his neighbors. ”

Chongwen seemed to be about to fall asleep, closed his eyes slightly, and suddenly asked after a while, "Do you mean that Imagawa Yasufan obeyed the shogunate, but did not want to obey the Kamakura princess?"

The old blind man continued to say dryly: "In the next subordinate, the feudal government does not understand, but I heard that the prince of the Zun clan had an edict back then, and the Kanto Suruga Province and the Izu country were not directly under the Kamakura Duke, unless the imperial decree of the Kamakura side, it seems that Taifan-sama does not have to obey the Kamakura Duke." ”

Chongwen asked again, "Are those monks of the Nichiren sect in peace with their guardians?"

The old blind man said: "Tai Fan Gong is dedicated to the Dharma, and in his early years, he was a monk in Jianchang Temple, but because of the unfortunate death of his brother Imagawa's family, he was forced to return to the family and inherit the family. Since he is a disciple of the Nichiren sect, he is naturally in harmony with Buddhism. ”

Chongwen smiled slightly and said: "Imagawa was originally a branch of the Toe branch of the Kakune clan, and I heard that the Toe Imagawa clan and the Kanto Governor Spo clan are at odds, is it... Won't Lord Imagawa be affected?"

The old blind man replied expressionlessly, "I don't know." ”

Chongwen was not annoyed, he walked out of the barrel, and Ji Ji wiped his body clean and wrapped him in a snow-white bath towel. Chongwen walked to a cushion and lay down face down, and the old blind man stepped forward on his knees, his hand naturally resting on Chongwen's shoulder and back muscles. She packed up her glasses and plates of wine and fruit and exited the bathroom, where there were only 2 people left.

This is a pair of thin and powerful hands, skillfully pressing, pinching, kneading, holding, pushing, degree, kneading, pressing, rubbing, and controlling on Chongwen's muscles and tendons, Chongwen feels that the whole body is in the heat, pain, sourness, coolness, numbness, all kinds of strange feelings converge into a warm current, wandering between the back, this is really wonderful, it is difficult to describe a kind of comfort in words, worthy of being a smart masseur.

Chongwen's eyes were closed, but his sense of touch was very keen, and he could feel the nervousness of the old blind man. The old guy's breathing and pulse gradually became rapid, and his technique became more and more dignified, not as smooth as at the beginning, and all at once, Chongwen's muscles and bones transmitted a heavy heart.

Chongwen didn't open his eyes, and said slowly: "You are a little nervous. ”

The old blind man said even more hoarsely: "His Highness Da Chuhai is also a little nervous, and it is good to relax his muscles." ”

Chongwen could feel that the old blind man was gradually calming down, and he also let out a sigh of relief and said, "Then let's talk." ”

The old blind man replied, "Yes." ”

Chongwen still didn't open his eyes, and said leisurely: "There is such a strange thing... An old man of about 60 years of age, was blind, and looked frail and sickly. This blind but unusual, he was alone, across the mountains and seas, and walked thousands of miles to come to Hirado, don't you say strange?"

The old man didn't speak, and after a long time, he said, "I also tell a story, which should be relieved... His Highness can turn over. ”

Chongwen turned over cooperatively, opened his eyes, and in front of him was the empty eyes of the old blind man, and he couldn't see his mental state.

The old blind man kept his hands on his hand and said, "Legend has it that there is a valley in Changwei Mountain, which is called the Valley of the Abandoned Mother. Because it is so poor, in order to save food, there is a custom since ancient times that once a person reaches the age of 60, his children must carry the old man to the valley of the abandoned mother and leave him to fend for himself. ”

Chongwen closed his eyes again, thinking about such a tragic event, and his breathing became short. finally couldn't bear to say: "It's really better to be a beast who has entered the mother, and the government doesn't care about it?"

The old blind man said: "Naturally, it is in charge, if the people can't bear to abandon their parents and hide privately, once they are found, they will be beheaded and shown to the public." ”

Chongwen sighed: "I understand, what customs have been around since ancient times, they are nothing more than the means of the government, and there are such brutal officials in the world." ”

The old blind man continued: "An old blind man is 60 years old, but his son could not bear to send him to the Valley of the Abandoned Mother, so he dug a hole under the floor of his house, hid his father, and brought him food and water every day. The daughter-in-law was afraid of implicating her family, so she reported the secret to the official, and the government arrested the family and took it to the city lord's mansion, preparing to behead him on a later date.

The old man regretted it very much, because he was afraid of death and greedy for life, and he harmed his son and grandson, and now he will behead the whole family. A few days later, some of the samurai took the old blind man out of the chamber, and the old blind man thought he was going to be beheaded, and he was very afraid. Who knew that those samurai masters did not kill anyone, but only walked a long way with the old blind man, and only arrived at a big city three days later.

The samurai lord took the old blind man to a bathroom and asked the old blind man to give a nobleman a massage. During the massage... The nobleman made a deal with the old blind man, and if the old blind man was willing to go to a distant place, the whole family would survive. Although the old blind man was very afraid, he couldn't help but agree, anyway, the old blind man was also a damned person, so at least the family would live. ”

Chongwen said with a smile: "That city lord asked Blind to do one thing, let him do everything possible to get close to a Kang man, once that Kang man got on the massage couch of Blind Man, he would use his strong hands to twist that person's neck." ”

The old blind man said, "But when the alien man really lies down in front of the old blind man, the old blind man's hands are weak and very weak. ”

Chongwen said lightly: "That's because the older people get, the more afraid they are of death, and those who have never been old have the courage to die with others." An old masseuse who has never killed anyone, before killing someone, will have too much imagination, the more invisible his eyes are, the more nervous he is, the more fear he has in his heart, and finally he scares himself. ”

The old blind man was silent, his fingers regained their composure and strength, and he seemed to have resigned himself to fate.

The bathroom fell into a deathly silence, and after a long time, the old blind man sighed: "Da Wai Hai is really a pair of sharp eyes, penetrating people's hearts, because he is afraid of death, how can the old guy who does not hesitate to harm the lives of his children and grandchildren have the courage to kill." It's just that since the big sea has already seen through the old blind man, why don't you arrest him and torture him?"

Chongwen Xin put it back in his stomach and said lightly: "I want to see who contacts this Suo, I am opening a net to capture his accomplices, but it seems that your noble man is very careful, there are indeed no accomplices, even if there are accomplices, I am impatient."

The last question is, who is this nobleman? I guess he didn't know who this nobleman was, and I couldn't tell what he looked like, but I already knew it, and he had actually told me. If I have the chance, I will tell the noble man that he and I will definitely meet again, and wish him good luck. ”

The old blind man's hand paused imperceptibly, continued to swim in his muscles, and finally asked, "So, His Highness Da Chuhai doesn't plan to kill me?"

Chongwen smiled: "Your master is a fool who thinks he is smart, you can't kill me, and he can't kill me." In that case, why should I kill you, I don't want the general soldier to complain, he can torture people crazy when he nags. ”
