The forest is full of primitive giant trees that are decades or hundreds of years old. They block out the sky and emit steam, making it even more eerie after the sun sets.
A woman with bare breasts and disheveled hair looked like she had seen a ghost. She was wearing a small gown and her clothes were messy and sparse. Her lower body was exposed and she was running helplessly in the forest.
Behind him were two samurai with terrifying grins. They were said to be samurai just because they each had a samurai sword on their waists. With their desolate looks, it would be more appropriate to call them rogues.
Like a cat chasing a mouse, they deliberately let the woman run in front, with a lustful and teasing expression on their faces, chasing the woman slowly, wanting to eat the prey but also teasing the prey.
The woman was frightened, and her cry for help was extremely helpless and pitiful. It didn't take much to think about it, but she knew that she had finally escaped from the clutches of the devil, but if she was caught up, she would only be humiliated and die.
Accidentally, the woman tripped over a vine on the ground. Two warriors pressed on her like wild beasts. One grabbed her feet, while the other clung to her body and rubbed her crazily. One hand was anxious to relieve her. Pulling on his waistband, he took out his malnourished little brother and prepared to vent his animal desires.
The two men were completely unaware of the approaching danger.
This scene happened to be fully visible to Liang Chuan and Benqing, and the anger in Benqing's eyes was about to burst out. Liang Chuan, on the other hand, has a calmness that is not surprising after seeing many things. In troubled times, human life is not as good as that of dogs, let alone women. Women in this era have only one function, and are used as tools for people to vent.
"I'm going to kill both of them!" Benkei let out a wild beast's roar.
"Go ahead, I don't mind, let's go one at a time."
Benqing and Liang Chuan approached the two warriors, and the warriors worked hard on the woman. Each of them cut off the heads of the two dogs with one sword.
The heads of the two warriors flew up high, and they still didn't understand what happened until they died.
The woman had never seen such a bloody scene, and she was so frightened that she peed on the floor.
Benkei gave the helpless woman a cold look and said to her, "Let's go."
He was a monk. Although the beautiful body of the woman in front of him was very tempting, Benqing didn't have any trouble after seeing it. He just asked the woman to leave as soon as possible. They were going to do something that would lead to a narrow escape. Following them would only increase the number of deaths. His own life is in danger.
The green hills remain the same and Liangchuan remains unchanged.
Liang Chuan knelt down and touched the two corpses. He actually took out two money bags and asked him to put away two samurai swords.
Benqing asked: "Master of the family...?"
Liang Chuan maintained the traditional fine style of hard work, plain living, diligence and frugality, and said: "This money can buy some food, and this knife can be exchanged for some money. It's a pity to lose it."
Benkei couldn't imagine that a big shot in the Genji family would care about such small profits. I couldn't help but frown, feeling that there was something inappropriate about this behavior.
Benkei said: "The spirit of the samurai advocates loyalty, integrity and honor, but these samurai actually rely on samurai to bully and humiliate the weak. Are they worthy of the swords they carry?"
Liang Chuan said: "Without the restraint of morality and system, force will only be abused and turned into violence. The Ping family's system has collapsed, so these people under him will be so crazy."
The two people returned to the place where they had barbecued meat. There was a burning smell, and they both shouted that the meat was burnt. The meat on the shelf was burnt on one side because it was not turned over. The meat still tasted quite fragrant, but it had turned into charcoal.
I had no choice but to take out another piece of meat and grill it again.
The rescued woman did not leave. She followed quietly. She only had a top on her body and her lower body was still exposed, shivering in the cold wind.
Benkei glanced at her in surprise and asked, "Why aren't you leaving? It's dangerous to follow us. Go back to your home quickly?"
The woman took a look at the barbecue. The wild boar meat was so tempting. She knew that these two people were different from those warriors, but she still covered her body in fear and said shyly: "I have no home."
Benkei took a piece of clothing and threw it to him.
Liang Chuan took a look at this woman's figure. She was pretty good, just a little short, but she was very plump.
The woman gratefully took Benkei's clothes and put them on in front of him. Liang Chuan handed her a bag of money that had just been found on the samurai's body, and said to Benqing, "Give her the money and let her go."
Benqing repeated Liang Chuan's words. The woman was so excited that she knelt down and said, "I have nowhere to go, and I will die on the road anyway. Let me follow you."
Benqing cannot make the decision, Liang Chuan is the head of his family, and Liang Chuan can only decide this matter. He personally sympathized with this woman very much, but this business was very dangerous, and one more person would be another burden, and he didn't want that on the road.
Liang Chuan sighed and said: "You come with us, we will find a place to settle you, and we will send you to a safe place when we have the opportunity. What is your name?"
The woman couldn't understand Liang Chuan's words, so she waited for Benqing to translate it for him before weakly replying: "My name is Mako."
Liang Chuan worked hard for another long time before roasting the meat. He only picked out more than thirty kilograms of fine meat from a hundred kilograms of wild boar and saved it. He roasted about ten kilograms in the evening.
Liang Chuan handed a piece of meat to Benqing, and a piece of meat was given to Mako.
Zhenzi took the meat and glanced at Liang Chuan with bright eyes. He smelled the delicious meat smell. It had been a long time since he had eaten rice, let alone this fragrant meat. The meat was roasted so delicately and cleanly. She looked at the two adults, turned around and secretly took a bite.
The warm taste flows in your mouth, it tastes so good.
Benqing rubbed a little more salt on the meat. Even those who work hard can't taste it. He tore the wild boar meat into big mouthfuls. It was also the first time for him to eat Liangchuan's barbecue. His eyes lit up. He didn't expect that his family master actually had it. This time, the meat tastes better than the one in the tavern!
Liang Chuan took out another green stem piece from his pocket, took out a knife and scraped the stem piece, and sprinkled the powder on the barbecue.
Mako and Benkei noticed Liang Chuan's movements at the same time, swallowed and asked, "What is this?"
Liang Chuan said: "Mustard root, do you want some?"
Mako didn't dare to make a mistake, but Benkei nodded.
Because there were no chili peppers, Liang Chuan found mustard root. The powder of this rhizome is mustard. Sprinkle a little on the meat to make the meat taste better!
That night, Mako felt extremely at ease and slept beside the warm fire, the warmest sleep since her home was destroyed. My stomach was also full. I thought I was going to be humiliated by two villains today, but I didn't expect to meet my savior.
For the first time, she met a man who had no thoughts about her body and didn't have to worry about being raped.
The next day, the two rode on donkeys, and Mako helped Liang Chuan hold the donkey and led Liang Chuan towards Kobe. Mako said that her hometown was in Izumo Country, which was a place further away than Kobe. I have been wandering all this way and can no longer remember my way home.
Izumo is a very beautiful name. Liang Chuan remembered that this place seemed to be across the sea from Goryeo. People there would see the mountains sparkling when they returned from the sea. Later, people went up the mountains to explore and found that there were a large number of silver mines on the mountains.
Right silver mine! Historically, the island country was originally a mine-poor country, and could only rely on imported gold, silver, and copper mines. Later, a mountain with a glowing top was discovered in Izumo Country, which was later known as Shimane Prefecture. When dug down, it turned out to be a huge mountain. Silver mine!
The island country has since changed from a silver importing country to a silver exporting country. The Izumo Country is in the southwest of Honshu Island and the west of Kansai. It is within the sphere of influence of the Taira clan. Liang Chuan suddenly remembered this good thing and wanted to mobilize the Gen clan to exploit this resource. Unfortunately, in their territory, if this The location of the silver mine was revealed, didn't it increase the Ping clan's strength?
Liang Chuan had some calculations in his mind. The money digging would have to happen sooner or later, but it had to be delayed and there was nothing he could do at the moment.
Not only silver mines, because the island country is at the junction of the continental plates, the geological and volcanic activities are extremely active, which brings many non-ferrous metal resources underground to the surface. The island country is also extremely rich in gold mines. In his memory, he still remembers one. The location of the gold mine, but the specific location still needs to be found.
There are many villages in Nara, and they are full of lifeless scenes. Spring has arrived, but there is no atmosphere of farming. Every time the three of them enter a village, there are only a large number of beggars begging for food. The life of the people is very difficult.
Liang Chuan ran the two samurai swords to the pawn shop and exchanged them for copper coins. The samurai swords were quite valuable and were very popular on the black market.
The knives were exchanged for money, and the money was exchanged for a lot of food, enough to feed three people for a while.
The area under the rule of the Taira clan was too chaotic. A large number of unemployed samurai roamed among the neighbors. They had weapons in their hands and their martial arts skills were higher than those of the civilians. When they were in a good mood, they would grab something, and when they were in a bad mood, they would kill people randomly. Anyway, he ran away as soon as his butt was slapped, and even the government couldn't do anything about it.
On the way, the group encountered many incidents of samurai blocking the road and robbing them. Liang Chuan dealt with these people very simply, killing them all without leaving a single one. Then Mako took away their belongings and weapons.
This process allowed Mako to really collect a lot of money. Some of the samurai's clothes were pretty good. Mako took them off and put them on herself. They were all men's clothes, and she couldn't even tell that she was a woman.
Now the three people's livelihood relies entirely on these samurai to send money. On the way from Nara to Kobe, prices are getting more and more expensive, and the price of food is getting higher and higher. Sometimes, if you are lucky, you will encounter samurai who carry a lot of money. , exchanged some more grain.
Anyway, the purpose of this trip is to kill people, to avenge the Taira clan's assassination. Killing them has the same effect as killing their samurai.
These warriors have done many evil things and brought disaster to the world. Liang Chuan's move is also to do justice for heaven. Should he still be condemned for being gangster and cheating on others?
Sometimes Benkei was afraid that there would be insufficient food, and he would worry and say: "Why haven't there been any samurai to rob today?"
It was finally time to arrive in Kobe. Liang Chuan did not go directly into the city because he and Benkei were too conspicuous and could easily be recognized by others if they were not careful. Liang Chuan thought of a way, found a fishing village, took a boat to Shikoku, and then went to Kobe from Shikoku, pretending to be from the Song Dynasty.
Even if the merchants of the Song Dynasty are taller and more powerful than the natives of the island country, tall people will not appear so outstanding in places where there are many people, so no one will doubt them.
