Warring States Survival Guide

Chapter 42 Sirthis way!

The injured person was the bald Jubei, who was the first person Hara came into contact with after he was stranded in the Japanese Medieval Era.

This guy was a man who climbed many mountains and eventually encountered a tiger. He went into the mountains to dig wild vegetables and saw a big bird with bright feathers. He immediately became excited and wanted to make some unexpected fortune. He secretly shot the bird with an arrow. As a result, the bird was injured and escaped. He began to chase it all the way. As a result, after three and five attempts, he still failed to catch the bird. He rolled down from a steep place and was covered with bruises and blood.

Fortunately, he was a bit shrewd and tried to curl up his body when he rolled down. Most of the bloody injuries were scratches and bruises, the most serious of which was a broken leg.

Of course, this is speaking in modern times. There were no anti-inflammatory drugs in ancient times - this concept was only invented in 1940. Don't even think about it in 1551. There is still a high probability that the inflammation of the wound will take his life.

Bald Jubei is the biological father of the only two "employees" under Haraye, so Haraye naturally attaches great importance to him. He immediately calls on everyone in the family to get moving. Some people boil medicine, some boil water, some get gauze, some look for splints, and begin to clean Jubei's wound carefully.

He was so busy rescuing people that he didn't notice that the villagers were different from usual.

The villagers of Hibitsu Village usually like to watch the fun because their lives are boring. For example, Jubei falling to the ground with a bloody mess and wailing non-stop is definitely a big event in the village. They will definitely crowd at the door to watch for a while, and maybe even discuss how to handle Jubei's funeral. But this time, when Jubei arrived, they immediately dispersed and all hid far away.

All the villagers fled, revealing a few warriors leading horses. The leading warrior was about seventeen or eighteen years old, a little over 1.7 meters tall, and about 1.7576 meters tall including his sky-high bun. He wore a grey plain jacket and an exquisite silk belt around his waist. Overall, he looked decent, but there were a few rag bags hanging on the jacket. At first glance, he looked like a disciple of the Beggar Gang.

From looking at his hairstyle and appearance, you can tell that he is also going for the "light, frivolous and strange" style, and his demeanor is similar, very strange, looking at people with cold eyes, with a kind of arrogance that everyone in the world is inferior to him, but occasionally he suppresses his thick eyebrows, and coupled with his slightly hooked nose, his eyes seem a bit gloomy.

Two warriors followed closely behind him. One was about eighteen or nineteen years old, slightly plump, with fair skin, soft features, and a constant smile, seemingly having a good personality. The other was fifteen or sixteen years old, with broad shoulders and a big body, and a tea-whisked hairstyle. He had bright eyes, a sword on his waist, and a short-handled iron cannon in his hand. It was Maeda Toshiie.

Maeda Toshiie took a look outside the door, pointed at Nohara and reported to the "Beggar Gang disciple": "My lord, that is Lord Nohara Saburo!"

His lord was naturally the "Big Fool of Owari", Oda Nobunaga, but Oda Nobunaga didn't even glance at him. He was not blind. Yuanye was so eye-catching, wearing wooden clogs and standing over 1.8 meters tall, he stood out from the crowd. How could he not see it?

But being tall was useless to him. He turned to the others nonchalantly and said, "Go ask the villagers if what Ah Quan said is true."

He and Maeda Toshiie hit it off very well from the moment they met. After all, they had the same hobbies and were both a little sick in the eyes of outsiders. Maeda Toshiie had been nagging him during this period, saying that he had accidentally discovered a "hidden master" in Hibizun Village who was proficient in Chinese studies, good at medicine, had an extraordinary temperament, and was definitely not an ordinary person. He kept urging him to quickly recruit this person under his command so as not to let an outsider take advantage of him.

He naturally didn't believe it. In his eyes, Maeda Toshiie was still too young. He was good at fighting and it was impossible for him to have the ability to judge people. He suspected that Maeda Toshiie was deceived and didn't do anything. This time, it was spring and flowers were blooming. He was going to find Hashimoto Ippa to learn and practice the art of teppo. On the way, he was annoyed by Maeda Toshiie's nagging, so he stopped by to take a look.

Well, he had been practicing with muskets in the family residence in Kuno Castle before, and accidentally shot and killed a retainer, which aroused public outrage. His teacher, Hirate Masahide, was almost mad, and had strictly forbade him to fire at will in Kuno Castle again, not even to shoot birds, so he had no choice but to run out to practice with muskets.

At Oda Nobunaga's command, the Huima people behind him dispersed and prepared to capture a few villagers to ask Maeda Toshiie if he was bragging. Oda Nobunaga looked outside the door for a while, but couldn't see clearly what Yuanye was doing. Feeling a little bored, he turned around and wandered around.

He first visited Yuanye's "medicine storage shed". Looking at the various medicinal materials and then taking a closer look at the Chinese medicine names written by Yuanye, his previous thoughts were slightly shaken. He felt that Yuanye's medical skills might really have something, but he had to wait and see how much there was. So he left the bamboo shed and walked into the house casually.

Maeda Toshiie and another retainer with a minor surname, Ikeda Terumasa, had no intention of trying to persuade him, and they followed him, holding the hilt of their swords and carrying their cannons. He was frivolous and eccentric, and had no respect for etiquette or rules. He had no manners at all, so it was useless to persuade him.

A'man was dozing off in the house. She had vaguely heard some noise outside the house in her sleep, but she thought that there were enough people helping and she was not needed. Besides, she was sleeping comfortably, so she was too lazy to go out. Unexpectedly, someone suddenly broke in while she was sleeping soundly.

Even though she was half asleep, her mind was still racing. She didn't remember the footsteps and immediately felt something was wrong. She woke up suddenly and rolled over to the ground. She got in front of Meng Ziqi and took a closer look. She recognized Oda Nobunaga at a glance. She had seen Oda Nobunaga before and had also seen Oda Nobunaga dressed as a woman in a play. She was so surprised that she couldn't help but blurt out, "Ah, Oda Nobunaga..."

Fortunately, she was smart enough and swallowed the word "fool". She immediately turned her gaze to Maeda Toshiie. In the blink of an eye, she realized that it was this guy who caused the trouble. It was ninety-nine percent likely that he said "Sir, this way" and lured the lunatic Oda Nobunaga here, otherwise Oda Nobunaga would not have appeared here.

Everyone is afraid of a psychopath, even if she has a rude personality, she is still a little afraid of him. She can't figure out what this psychopath Oda Nobunaga wants to do for a moment, so she can only protect Meng Ziqi and see how the situation develops - Yuanye is a very loyal person, Meng Ziqi is very important to him, she has already figured this out, so no matter what Oda Nobunaga wants to do, as long as Meng Ziqi is safe and sound, even if the house is burned down and all the money is taken away, Yuanye will credit her with a merit afterwards.

She was on guard there, but Oda Nobunaga didn't see her as a wild child at all. He only thought she was Harano's concubine or maid. He strolled to Harano's desk and began to casually look through his collection of books and manuscripts. When he saw the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" written in pinyin, his eyes lit up immediately and he seemed very interested.

But he couldn't understand it, so he flipped through it for a while and then threw it aside. Then he noticed Yuanye's homemade pulley bow piled in a corner of the earthen base, and he showed interest again. He walked over to take a closer look, pulled the pulley, and concentrated on thinking what this thing was used for - when the pulley bow is not in use, there is no string, and the accessories will be removed to extend the life of the bow and avoid deformation.

In Oda Nobunaga's eyes, the pulley bow in its component parts looked more like some kind of mechanical power-assist tool. He could not imagine that this thing could be used for archery. He just felt that Yuanye seemed to have mechanical talent and was a rare craftsman.

Ah Man watched from the side for a while, and finally couldn't help but shout at them: "What on earth are you doing? That's his stuff, you can't take it away!"

Oda Nobunaga glanced at her calmly but didn't scold her. Maeda Toshiie immediately grasped the hilt of his sword and shouted, "Don't be so rude in front of the Lord!"

Ah Man stared at him with an unhappy face, but there was nothing she could do, feeling a little frustrated. If it was a one-on-one fight, she was still somewhat confident that she could knock one down, and if she couldn't beat him, she could still escape, and then when the other person was squatting in the toilet, she would rush in and chop him to death in the pit with an axe. But if there were three people, and Ah Qing was not around, she had no choice but to start thinking about making up dirty rumors about him in her heart - rumors about Maeda Toshiie must be made, and rumors about the big fool Oda must not be missed, and if that didn't work, she could just make up rumors that the two of them were gay, sleeping together at night, and poking each other's butts!
Anyway, she couldn't bear the humiliation in vain. If she couldn't beat them in person, she would disgust them to death behind their backs!
She was thinking of some evil idea, but Oda Nobunaga waved his hand, signaling Maeda Toshiie not to embarrass a commoner child, and left with the spare parts on the ground. The main reason was that Yuanye had been here for too short a time, and the things he brought with him had long been buried in the mountains. There were not many rare things, and they could not arouse his interest for a long time.

When Oda Nobunaga left, the Huima people he sent to gather information also came back and reported to him what they had seen and heard in a low voice. No one in Hibitsu Village said a bad word about Yuanye. Everyone praised him as the reincarnation of a miracle doctor, who was very kind and virtuous, and whose treatment and medicine were very cheap. They were all very grateful to him.

Just listen to what the villagers say, and tomorrow the fields will be surrounded by Buddha's light, filled with fragrance, and a wheel of merit will appear behind your head. It is not impossible for you to ascend to heaven right away.

Oda Nobunaga listened quietly, and the gloom in his eyes and eyebrows dissipated a lot. After pondering for a moment, he turned around and patted Maeda Toshiie on the shoulder, and praised him lightly: "Aquan, I wronged you before, you did a good job this time!"

Maeda Toshiie was so happy that he kept rubbing the hilt of his sword and said frankly: "Of course, my lord! He is the one who saved Osomatsu. I told you to come quickly a long time ago, but you refused!"

Oda Nobunaga nodded, thinking that he had been careless before. It was still worthwhile for him to meet Yuanye, as he was probably a talented person.

…………

Aman hid behind the straw curtain and eavesdropped on the conversation between Oda Nobunaga and others in the yard for a while. After thinking for a while, he quickly came out, walked around and ran towards the "black clinic".

When she got in, Yuanye was still busy. Bald Jubei had a lot of small injuries all over his body, which was very troublesome to clean and disinfect. When he was straightened, he screamed loudly, like a pig being slaughtered. Aqing, Yayoi, and Taoi brothers could hardly hold him down. Everyone was busy sweating and had no time to care about anything else.

Seeing that Yuanye was still fiddling with Jubei's legs as if nothing had happened, Aman grabbed his collar, pulled his head down, and said anxiously in his ear: "It's over, it's all over, that dung ball from the Maeda family has screwed you over, he brought that psychopath Oda Nobunaga here!"

In her mind, Yuanye was a little stupid. He was unwilling to be someone's retainer, as if he would die if he kowtowed to someone. He was really stupid. But the psychopath Oda Nobunaga seemed to have taken a liking to him and thought he had talent, and seemed to be planning to take him back to be his mistress.

If the two sides fail to reach an agreement, and Oda Nobunaga has a mental breakdown and fires a cannon at Hara, then where will she go to eat stewed chicken in the future?
It’s over, her happy life is over, she hates Maeda Toshiie so much now!
