Chapter 165: Recognition

"Yes, I am the descendant of the Xu family, the son of Xu Suniang. Mo Yan whispered.

"Ah," Lu Shi was even more surprised, and said suspiciously, "Su Niang is younger than the old body, how can you?"

Mo Yan saw that the cigarette smoke in the hall was swirling, and his vision was not clear, and no one paid attention to the left and right, so he returned to his original appearance with his mind, and changed from an old man to a young man in an instant, which startled the Lu family.

"I'm an old man disguised in disguise, I'm actually only eighteen years old this year, and my mother is still alive, so she asked me to come to you. After Mo Yan finished explaining, he quickly turned back into the old man.

Lu suddenly realized at this moment, tears welled up in an instant, and he couldn't suppress the pain that had been hidden in his heart for many years, and sobbed silently, and muttered in his mouth: "Shitian, have you heard everything? Aunt Su Niang is still alive, and his son has come to see you." ”

Mo Yanyan's heart was sour, and tears rolled in his eyes.

"Cousin, where are Shou Nan and Fu Nan?" Mo Yan asked.

Lu Shi whimpered and said: "Nalafu is Funan, my brother Shounan was kidnapped by the Satsuma Clan when he was five years old, and his whereabouts are still unknown" She intermittently recounted what happened back then.

After the Xu family case, the old and young of the family were escorted to the capital, Xu Shitian and Xu Shutian brothers were beheaded, and a female dependents and babies were confiscated into the flag slaves. Na Lahong was a military general, who was shot below by an arrow during a rebellion to suppress Huijiang, and since then he has lost his fertility, so he has never married a family, so he raised Shou Nan Fu Nan as his own son. In the third year of his arrival in the Ryukyus, he encountered the Satsuma Domain's Japanese Invaders who came ashore to burn and loot, and took Shou Nan away on the beach.

Nalahiro never treated her and her mother as flag slaves, and they were treated as husband and wife in the Ryukyu Kingdom and have always taken good care of them. This place is far away from the Great Qing Kingdom, otherwise it will be troublesome to be known that he took the flag slave as his wife and reported it, so the Xu family didn't even know about Fu Nan, and the ceremonial official Wang Taiyu always thought that the Lu family was the original partner of Na Lahong.

Mo Yan also talked about the situation of the other female dependents who were assigned as flag slaves, the Miao family died in prison, and the Shen family who was assigned to the armor committed suicide because they could not bear the humiliation, and the ending for everyone was still the Lu family.

"Cousin, have you ever thought of leaving Narahon with Fu Nan?" Mo Yan asked.

Lu shook his head and replied, "General Nara is kind to our mother and son, and besides, Fu Nan has always thought that he is the general's biological son, I don't want him to suffer a mental blow, wait until Nara Hong dies or tell him all this before I die." ”

Mo Yan pondered for a while after listening, and finally said, "Please tell me the details of Shou Nan's abduction by the Japanese invaders, and I will go and find him back." ”

The two talked for a while, the Lu family left first, and Mo Yan stood in front of the spiritual seat, and silently swore in his heart: "The ancestors of the Xu family, you can rest assured, Mo Yan will never let Shou Nan go to a foreign land alone." ”

Mo Yan turned around and walked out of the main hall, and the Dongying ronin who was watching him at the gate of the main hall also left in a hurry.

Mo Yan returned to the inn, thinking in his heart that he was going to Dongying, but he was not familiar with his life, and he didn't know when he would be able to find out the whereabouts of Shou Nan, he was only five years old when he was kidnapped, and he probably didn't remember anything, so it was even more difficult to find. Lu said that both brothers have the same birthmark on their left buttocks, but they are not easy to identify on their faces, so where to start.

"Knock knock" Someone knocked on the door, and a Dongying ronin held a letter and respectfully handed it to Mo Yan, and said, "Mr. Mo, the ghost ship president is invited." ”

Mo Mo opened the envelope, and there was only one sentence in the letter: Please go to the cold house with the people to talk about the matter of the Lu family.

Mo was secretly surprised in his heart, how could the Dongying people know about such a secret matter so quickly?

"Okay, old man will go with you. Mo Yan then followed the ronin out of the inn, through the streets, and finally to a five-bay house with a wooden-framed grass roof.

"The ghost ship will be the president's house, please enter. The ronin said.

After entering the house, I found that this was a large open room, with raised floors, pillars, beams, slabs and walls that were not painted in the primary color of wood, a large tatami mat on the floor, a small room separated by a north side, and a wooden lattice door with window paper. Ichiro Onifune was sitting cross-legged in front of the coffee table in the hall, and when he saw Mo Remnant coming, he quickly got up, warmly beckoned him to come and sit on the mat, and said with a smile: "Mr. Mo, please come and taste our Dongying tea ceremony." ”

Mo Yan didn't make a sound, and sat silently at the coffee table.

Ichiro Onifune clapped his hands, and a girl in a kimono turned out of the inner room, he recognized it as Eiko, Ichiro's daughter, who smiled at Mo Yan and began to brew tea for boiling water for the charcoal fire, with skillful and elegant movements.

Ichiro Onifune opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Mo is a strange person in the martial arts, two pieces of sugar cane defeated the master of Dongying Erdaoliu, and now it has spread all over the streets and alleys of Shuri, women and children know it, Mr. Kung Fu is really incredible." ”

"If something happens to Mr. Ghost Boat, please say it directly. Mo Yan said simply.

"Okay, refreshed, then I'll be straight to the point. Over the years, I have been looking for a real master, I thought that the ghost of the second knife stream is more than excellent in martial arts, and invited him to come to the ring to try it, but I didn't expect that he couldn't withstand two pieces of sugar cane, which is really embarrassing. ”

"What are you looking for?" Mo asked.

"I want him to assassinate someone. ”

"Who?"

"The owner of Sakura Island in Satsuma has a human face. ”

"What is the name of the dog?"

Ichiro Onifune explained: "This person's surname is Inu, his name is Renmian, and the surname of our Dongying people is different from that of the Qing Dynasty, and most of them are based on their residence, for example, those who are close to the village well are called 'Murajing', those near the mountain are called 'Yamaguchi' or 'Yamashita', and the water is called 'Ozawa', such as 'ferry', 'Watanabe', and so on." ”

"So the surname of the dog is 'dog breeding'?"

"Exactly, Sakurajima has always been the hereditary owner of the Onibune family, and a few years ago, the Inukai brought a group of samurai to Sakurajima, and the Onifune family was wiped out, and only me and the little girl Eiko escaped. Over the years, a lot of money has been spent to hire people to assassinate Inu, including Toei samurai and Ryukyu masters, but they all died under the sword of Inu's Muramasa. Now there is not much property left," Ichiro Onifune waved his hand to make Yingzi retreat, and then continued, "Half a year ago, there was a Nalafu in the ring who returned from studying art in Wudang Mountain of the Great Qing Dynasty, a young and handsome martial artist who had defeated many Dongying ronins, and I was ready to ask him to kill the enemy dog and raise human faces, and I would marry Yingzi to him. ”

"Does Nalafu know?" Mo asked.

Onifune Ichiro shook his head: "I haven't mentioned it at this time, I have to confirm that he has the ability to kill Inukai, so I asked Kitaji, the master of the Satsuma Domain's Ertogen, to come to Ryukyu and let him have a final competition with Narafu." Whoever wins will marry Yingzi to him, and as the son-in-law of the Onibune family, it is his responsibility to kill the dog and recapture Sakurajima, which is also the last chance for the Onifune family. I didn't expect that Nalafu would be invincible to the ghosts, and the ghosts would be beaten by your two pieces of sugar cane, and the two of them disappointed me. ”

"Do you want me to kill dogs and raise human faces?"

"If Mr. Mo doesn't dislike the little girl"

Mo Yan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't say it, how can the old man do such a hurtful thing at his age." ”

"But I can't afford to pay the high killer fees anymore. Ichiro Onifune said anxiously.

"The old man didn't agree to kill the dogs. Mo Yan stared at Ichiro Onifune's colored glasses and coldly refused.

"Mr. Mo, then let's open the skylight and talk about the conditions," Ichiro Onifune's face suddenly changed, and his tone became tougher, "You had an affair with the Lu clan, the wife of General Na Lahong, the deputy envoy of the Qing Dynasty, if this matter is told to Na Lahong, I think you know the consequences, of course, you can retreat with your martial arts, but the Lu clan will die because of this." ”

Mo Yan couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, but he couldn't explain it, and he wondered how to answer in his heart.

Seeing that Mo was speechless, Ichiro Onifune was secretly happy in his heart, knowing that he had hit the point, so he took advantage of the victory and pursued: "Someone saw you kneeling there with the Lu family to worship the ancestral tablet, if I guessed correctly, that Nalafu must be the illegitimate son of the two of you, right?"

Mo Yan sneered: "This can't scare Mo, if you want to denounce it, just go, the old man will leave." Then he got up and left.

Ichiro Onifune was dumbfounded for a moment, and he was stunned at a loss, but he didn't expect this Mr. Mo to be indifferent, and his abacus was completely frustrated.

At this time, Yingzi suddenly ran out and knelt in front of Mo Yan, and said with a crying voice in his mouth: "Mr. Mo, I heard everything just now, are you really Nalafu's biological father?

Mo smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Yingzi, please get up, you are mistaken, things are not what you think." ”

Yingzi still knelt there and refused to get up, Mo Yan reluctantly turned around and said to Ichiro Onifune: "It's okay if you want me to kill dogs, but there is one condition." ”

When Ichiro Onifune heard this, he hurriedly said, "What conditions? Mr. Mo, please tell me quickly." ”

Mo Yan returned to the coffee table and sat down: "Help me find a child who was kidnapped by the Satsuma Clan while playing on the beach many years ago" He recounted the situation when Shou Nan was lost.

Ichiro Onifune thought for a moment and said, "The rogues who attacked this area of Shuri Sea back then, I know that they are samurai ronins of the Hayato clan in Satsuma Country, and there are people who are familiar with each other. They generally only kill people and rob people without taking people, and since they take away their children, they must be unable to have children to do so. This is easy to check, I will go back to Samoto tomorrow, and you can go with me. ”

"Okay, a word is a certainty, with the child's clues, the old man will get rid of the dog for you. Mo Yan readily agreed.
