171: Prelude to Strength

"Do you know why you're here? I found you on the sea, you were dead at the time, and I brought you back from the gates. At that time, I saw that you were different from other slaves, so I kept you with me, hoping that you would help me. Because we are all people who have survived for revenge, I don't know what your name is, but you have nothing to do with your former self now, you are just who you are now. My name is Nobuo Ito, and I am the head of the Ito family, and you are now a member of the Ito family, so you have to fight for the Ito family, for the children who have lost their loved ones, and they need your protection, and although I am strong enough, I have to admit that there are some things that I can't do. Nobuo Ito said in a deep voice.

But Xu Tianning never spoke, nor did he look at her, it seemed that it would take some time for Xu Tianning to fully cheer up and accept everything here.

But now Nobuo Ito can give Xu Tianning time, because things have developed in a good direction, and Xu Tianning needs time to recover, so Ito Nobuo will give him time, so that he can slowly become strong and mature in the baptism of the years, and fight like a real samurai.

Although their relatives are gone away forever, life still has to go on, and the living people still have to fight for a better life, and the following days are still the same, and they can't be decadent and depressed because they don't have relatives.

Don't forget what their loved ones died for, for their happy tomorrow, so the living should inherit their careers and fight for a better life.

Because they know that only by facing life with hope can they create happiness in life, so that they will not feel that life is boring and boring, and they will not even have any hope of living.

Don't think that the Ito family lives in a big city, don't think that the patriarch of the dignified Ito family should be clothed and fed, surrounded by a large number of guards in and out, in fact, you are wrong.

Since the last defeat of the Ito family, they have lost all their previous glory and wealth, and they have also lost their most precious and most dependent land.

Now their Ito family can only barely survive under the protection of the Yamao family, and of course, the Ito family's strength is not as good as before. Therefore, the Yamaxiong family gave them the most barren land to grow crops, so how could they feed so many clansmen.

But there is no way, in order to survive, they have no room for bargaining, if even Yama Yunichi doesn't take them in, then where can they go, otherwise the entire Toei will no longer have the surname Ito.

Nobuo Ito now lives in a small village, there is no retinue, no maidservants, she can only do everything herself, do her own laundry, cook her own food, don't think that she is superior to others if she is a leader, then you are wrong.

Nobuo Ito's only privilege was that he didn't have to work in the fields, as she taught the children the meaning of the Ito family's swordsmanship and bushido.

The women worked in the fields, and the men went up to the mountains to hunt, and now they could not even see the sea, which was miserable, and who called them the defeated side.

If you don't have the ocean, you can't go out to fish, and if you can't fish, you won't have a main source of income, and in this case, the Ito family will only get poorer and poorer.

If they don't need war at all, they will slowly decay, and if they want to continue to live, they need a wider land, and they can no longer let others squeeze their living space.

Therefore, when the enemy invades again, they will not hesitate to rush forward and resist, knowing that the enemy's strength is strong, but they still choose to rush forward without hesitation to drive away the invading enemy. The kind of fearlessness he showed was really impressive.

This is also the only way to stimulate that potential when facing a strong opponent, and to fight to the death without fear.

Farming and hunting in the mountains can only barely make ends meet, and if the harvest is not good, then they will go hungry, and the enemy will come from time to time to plunder their resources and rob them of the food they are about to harvest, which is undoubtedly worse, and further aggravates the hardships of their lives.

Xu Tianning got up and walked out of the courtyard, not knowing what it was, attracting him to go out of the room and see this strange world. None of them knew what had led him out of the room, perhaps it was a voice from outside.

"Hey, ha, hey, ha. The sound came to his ears all the time, and it never stopped.

It turned out to be a group of children learning swordsmanship on the slope, they are the future of the Ito family, both men and women have to learn kung fu, from here it is not difficult to see how bad the Ito family's current situation is, they are all soldiers.

They are not only the future of the Ito family, but also the future warriors of this land, and when they grow up, they must protect the only land they have and must not let them be taken by the enemy again.

Therefore, they have to practice swordsmanship from an early age, not only to defend the territory, but also to protect their relatives.

The slaves they brought back from the last time were all dedicated to the Yamao family, and the Ito family didn't get anything, and of course Yamao Shinichi also wanted to stop Ito Nobuo from having different intentions. Therefore, he will not be used for her, and his family is arranged in the most remote place, never providing any assistance, and all difficulties are solved by themselves.

Xu Tianning's injuries were not completely healed, so he couldn't walk too far, so he could only sit on the mound and watch those young children practice swords, recalling all the interesting things that happened to him when he was a child.

Since he is reminiscing about his childhood, then he will naturally recall his relatives, they are all good to him, but they are all gone now, they are killed by ruthless enemies, so why can't Xu Tianning take revenge? Can the murderer live arrogantly?

Nobuo Ito was washing clothes by the river, and she accidentally saw Xu Tianning, and there was a smile on her face, which should have been a smile that she hadn't seen for a long time.

Xu Tianning is still trying to change himself, which is exactly what Nobuo Ito wants to see. Xu Tianning did not disappoint her, and finally stood up like a man, as long as he assisted the Ito family, he would definitely change the status quo.

But Xu Tianning didn't look at her, Xu Tianning has always been in a cloak, and he is no longer the high-spirited and beautiful prince. He's in a foreign land now, so there's no need for him to clean up his hair now, just let him keep it loose.

I also faintly found that Xu Tianning had grown a beard, it seemed that he was a lot older and haggard, and he looked more and more like a big man who had experienced vicissitudes.
