I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

"You bastard!" one of the drunks shouted loudly, "Don't you need to apologize for hurting someone?!"

The girl said in a timid tone:

"But, but I just touched you lightly... how did you get hurt..."

Clank!

The sound of porcelain shattering sounded again.

One of the three drunks picked up a wine bowl on the table again and threw it at the girl's feet.

"Ah!" The girl was startled.

"How dare you talk back!"

...

...

Although it is not very clear what the cause and effect of the incident is, Ogata understands - let the three drunks settle down first.

At this time, the proprietress of the Liuya, Saki, has hurriedly entered the Liuya with a lantern.

At this time, Ogata also strode towards the three drunk men.

And said in a calm tone:

"Guest, please don't make trouble for no reason."

As soon as Ogata's voice fell, the three drunks immediately turned their heads to follow the sound.

"It's none of your business... Goo!"

One of the drunk men wanted to scold Ogata loudly, but when he saw the knife and the omen that needed to be stabbed at the waist, he swallowed back the scolding that had already poured into his mouth.

It can be seen that these three drunk men are not as drunk as the four drunk men just now, they still recognize the samurai sword on Xu Fang's waist, and remember the horror of the samurai.

The three drunks were so frightened by the samurai sword on Ogata's waist that they were mostly sober.

The three people who didn't have the time to drink anymore hurriedly left the drink money and stood up, wanting to leave the house.

But they had just walked a few steps before they were stopped by Ogata:

"You three wait for me!"

The bodies of the three men shivered, then turned their stiff necks, and looked at Ogata anxiously.

Ogata pouted at the two shards of wine bowls at the girl's feet.

"If you break something in someone's shop, don't you need to pay for it?"

"Okay, okay..."

The three drunks groped in their respective pockets, pooled together a sum of money, and handed it to Ogata respectfully.

After Ogata took the money, he showed it to the girl directly:

"How? Is the money enough to buy 2 new wine bowls?"

The girl did not know Ogata.

I don't understand why Ogata would help them for no reason.

Although she hadn't recovered yet, the girl obediently counted the money in Ogata's hand.

"Something is not enough..."

"Did you hear that! You don't have enough money to pay for wine!"

"But..." one of the drunks said with a sad face, "We have no money..."

Ogata was too lazy to listen to these people's explanations.

Let the thumb of the left hand that has been resting on the mouth of the sheath point forward, push the knife out of the sheath, and make a loud "click".

As soon as the loud "click" sound landed, the three drunk men hurriedly said:

"Yes! Yes! We have money!"

"Ah! I remembered! I still have some private money here!"

"Master Samurai! Please wait a moment, we will collect the money right away!"

The three drunks fumbled in their pockets again, and finally found some money, which they handed to Ogata.

Ogata gave the money to the girl:

"How is it? After adding this money, is it enough to buy 3 new wine bowls?"

"En." The girl nodded obediently, "Enough."

Ogata nodded, and put the sword out of its sheath just a little bit back into its sheath.

"Since the money is enough, let the three guests walk slowly."

As soon as Ogata's words fell, the three drunks immediately seemed to be pardoned.

Hastily escaped from the house.

After the three drunks escaped from the house, Saki, who had been standing by and watching Ogata deal with the incident just now, walked towards Ogata and the others with a look of excitement:

"Master Ogata, you did a great job just now!"

"I didn't actually do anything." Ogata smiled, "I just lit up the samurai sword on my waist and said a few words."

"I hired you to guard the house, and I hired you right!"

"That...the lady boss..."

The girl who was ignored by Ogata and Saki asked in a timid tone:

"Who is this samurai?"

"Ah, I was so busy chatting that I forgot to introduce the two of you to each other."

"Master Ogata, this is the only maid in our Liuwu that I told you just now——Ah Fu."

Just now he was busy dealing with the three drunks, so Ogata didn't have any spare time to look at this girl carefully.

She has a petite figure—converted to the length unit of the modern Earth, this girl should be only about 1.45 meters tall.

So it would be very difficult for this girl to look directly into Ogata's eyes.

Because if Ogata's height is converted into the length unit of the modern earth, Ogata's height is as high as 170cm.

In ancient Japan, due to diet and genes, the height was generally not high.

Ogata's height of 1.7 meters was quite amazing in the Edo period.

During the two days since the Edo period, Ogata has been paying attention to the height of the people around him.

No surprise for Ogata——In the past two days, Ogata has never seen anyone taller than him.

The girl's facial features are fairly delicate, which can be regarded as the more attractive type.

It's just that this girl is too thin, and seems to be a little malnourished, and it feels like any gust of wind can blow this girl down.

After the girl looked Ogata up and down several times with her big black eyes, she bowed very politely and said:

"Good evening, Mr. Samurai, my name is Fu."

"Good evening." Ogata hurriedly bowed back and said, "My surname is Ogata. Ogata Yishi."

After introducing himself to the girl named Ah Fu, Ogata paused, and then asked Ah Fu:

"Miss Afu, let me take the liberty to ask - how old are you this year?"

Ogata is really curious about Ah Fu's age, because from the appearance, Ah Fu's facial features seem to have not fully grown, and he should not be very old.

"Me? How old?" Ah Fu pointed to himself, "I'm 13 years old this year."

13 years old... a little younger than Ogata expected...

Ogata turned his head, and showed a helpless smile to Saki next to him:

"Miss Azaki, you are hiring child labor..."

"Child labor?" Saki looked at Ogata suspiciously, "What does child labor mean?"

"what……"

Ogata, who knew he had made a slip of the tongue, said "ah" softly, and then waved his hand:

"It's nothing, just forget what I just said."

After perfunctory A Saki, Ogata thought to himself:

——It seems... It will take me a while to get used to the customs and customs of the Edo period...

In the Edo period, there was no such thing as child labor.

Because the average life expectancy of people is generally not long, children generally start their families early-this is the case in all ancient countries.

In the Edo period, a 14-year-old girl was no longer considered a child and could be treated as an adult.

Many girls are married at this age.

Some of the girls who married earlier were even married when they were 12 years old.
