"Is that girl okay?" Amachi asked.

"It's okay, it's okay." Huosaka waved his hand, "As soon as this scumbag rushed into the house with his front legs, I rushed in with my back legs. This scumbag didn't even have time to tear off her clothes. But the girl seemed to be hurt.

A little frightened."

"This scumbag probably doesn't really want to help this village."

"He probably thought this was an opportunity to enter other people's villages openly, so he pretended to agree to help."

"Then after entering the village, the murderous look was revealed."

"After he came to this village this morning, the reason why he was sneaking around was probably because he was looking for a house with a more beautiful woman."

"This kind of scum is really annoying..."

Kawasaka raised his hand and scratched his cheek.

"It is because of such scum that the reputation of our samurai has been ruined."

"In a word, that's it. Originally, the villagers invited four samurai."

"Then one of them was a scumbag with evil intentions and has already fallen here. So there are three left."

"Counting you two newcomers, there are now a total of 5 samurai in this village."

Kawasaka raised five fingers towards Ogata and others.

At this moment, a man with a weathered face rubbed his hands and walked slowly towards Huoshan.

"Master Samurai..."

This man looks like he is in his 40s, but his voice is very young. Just listening to his voice, you would think he is only in his early 30s.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Huosaka looked at the man.

"I am Ah Jiao...ah, the father of the girl who was almost defiled by that warrior. I have heard the specific story from Ah Jiao."

The man bowed deeply to Huosaka.

"Thank you very, very much for saving my daughter."

"Hahahaha!" Huosaka laughed heartily, "It's just a small favor! How is your daughter doing now? Is she still crying?"

"Still crying..." The man smiled bitterly, "Her mother is with her now. Alas... Her mother and I just left home for a while due to business, and something like this happened...

"

"Are you still crying..." Kawasaka raised his hand and scratched his cheeks, "That's really difficult to handle... I don't know how to make a woman stop crying... Well, anyway, you two stay with me tonight

Stay with your daughter, comfort her and so on."

Gu...

At this moment, Huosaka's stomach suddenly made a moderate noise.

"Oh..." Kasaka, who had no shame on his face, patted his belly, "My belly is really smart. It will growl when it's time to eat."

After saying that, Huosaka turned to look at the villagers surrounding him not far away.

"Hey! It's dinner time now! Can you cook?"

"Yes, yes!" An older man among the villagers nodded hurriedly, "We will prepare dinner for you now!"

"You must have worked very hard to come to this village!"

Kasaka turned his head and glanced at Ogata and others.

"Let's eat together! You can also take advantage of the meal to get to know the other two samurai."

"The rice in this village is quite fragrant, and the man in charge of cooking for us is pretty good at cooking."

…

…

Inside a fairly spacious wooden house made of wood and thatch in the village

Huhu...

Waves of hot steam came out along the cracks in the pot lid, turning into thin winds one after another.

This house is a common house type in rural areas of this era and has only one room.

There is only one room in the whole house, and this room is used as both a hall and a bedroom.

The owner of the house eats, drinks, sleeps, and entertains guests in this single room...

At this moment, there are seven people in this house.

Ogata, Amachi, Tsuchiya, Higasaka, two samurai whose names Ogata still doesn't know, and an old man who is sitting next to the pot and observing the heat.

According to what Huosaka just introduced, this old man is one of the villagers in the village. He is responsible for helping their samurai cook, and his name is Yuzao.

The warriors invited by the villagers were all gathered here at this time.

Ogata, Amachi, and Tsuchiya were brought in just now and sat down on the floor.

As soon as he sat down on the floor, Ouri looked at the two samurai in front of him whose names he still didn't know.

Each of these two warriors has its own characteristics.

One of them is very young, probably only about 17 years old.

He was a little cautious, and after Ogata and the strangers came in, he didn't even know how to place his hands.

The other person is slightly older, probably between 25 and 30 years old.

He was sitting upright from beginning to end, with his back and neck straight, and his eyes not squinting. There was a certain elegance in his movements.

You can tell at a glance that he is a well-educated person.

If it weren't for the tattered and old clothes on his body, others would have thought he was a descendant of some samurai family.

At this time, Huosaka stretched out his right arm and hugged the very cautious young samurai.

"This is my apprentice Mizuno Yogoro."

As soon as Huosaka finished speaking, the young samurai whom he held his shoulders quickly bowed his head and saluted Ogata and others.

"I'm here, Mizuno Yogoro, please give me some advice!"

After Huosaka and Mizuno introduced themselves, the samurai who was sitting not far away from them with an elegant air in his gestures also parted his lips and said softly:

"Jincheng Sheng. Please give me more advice."

After Mizuno and Jincheng introduced themselves, Ogata and others also began to introduce themselves.

Huosaka, Mizuno, Kaneshiro, Tsuchiya plus Ogata, excluding the scumbag samurai who was killed by Ogata, these are the five samurai currently invited to this village.

"Huosaka, Mizuno, Jincheng, Tsuchiya..." Huosaka grinned, "We are really destined. If there is another person with the word "wood" in the last name, it will just make up the five elements."

Huosaka's remarks made everyone present couldn't help but smile a little.

"The rice is ready." The old man named Yuzo, who was responsible for helping Ogata and others prepare the meals, said as he lifted the lid of the pot.

Balls of milky white steam emerged as the lid of the pot was lifted.

In the pot, there is a full bowl of white rice.

The only side dishes prepared by the villagers for Ogata and others were pickles and radishes.

No fish, no tofu and no soup.

But judging from the current situation of the village, pickles and radishes should be the best food the villagers can produce.

After telling Zao that the rice was cooked and ready to be eaten, Ogata and others started to enjoy the meal.

Since breaking away from the feudal clan, Ogata has been living a life that is neither luxurious nor restrained, so he has no feelings about tonight's dinner.

But Kasaka and the others are different.

Just by looking at their clothes, you can tell that their daily lives must be filled with one meal and one meal.

Therefore, after revealing the truth with Zou, Huosaka and others' eyes immediately lit up.

After taking his bowl of rice from Yuzao, he immediately gnawed at the rice in his hands like a pig gnawing at food.

When we set out for this village today, Tsuchiya told Ogata that the reason why he agreed to come to this village to help was just so he could eat white rice.

Therefore, among all the people, Tsuchiya ate the most urgently and worked the hardest.

Hosaka's eating style matches his rugged appearance very well and he eats quite boldly.

Should I say that he is worthy of being a master and disciple? Compared with Higasaka, Mizuno's heroic eating style is even worse.

Mizuno was eating like a powerful general on the battlefield. Compared with the reserved look just now, he looked completely different.

As for Jincheng, he maintained an elegant posture even when he was eating.

Keep your back and neck straight, relax your shoulders, hold the rice bowl in front of your chest, and when you use chopsticks to bring the food to your mouth, only wet the tips of the chopsticks a little.

Kasaka is the kind of person who is quite familiar and lively, and he keeps talking while eating.

Thanks to Higasaka's liveliness, the meal was not too dull. At the same time, Ogata learned from Kawasaka that Kawasaka and Mizuno were the first to come to this village.
