In May, in the third year of Echonro (1560 AD), in the Warring States Period, the two were slowly moving forward in a mountain road on Mount Hachio, Sagami, and Musashi at the junction of the three kingdoms.》w.

"This ghost weather is so hot."

After walking a mountain road for a while, a young man who was standing behind, who was leaning on a wooden stick (one end of the stick was wrapped in some rotten cloth. If a discerning person had a clear eye, he would definitely see that this was actually a gun head) complained.

After hearing the complaints from his companions behind him, a man in front of him whose eyes were wrapped in a cowhide eye mask stopped and looked up at the weather.

The weather is indeed particularly hot today, but the sky is covered with clouds in the rainy season. It is about to rain, so the man with a blindfold immediately urged:

"It's going to rain. If you don't want to be soaked in heavy rain like the day before yesterday, I'd better speed up."

After hearing the words of the blindfolded man, the man holding a "wooden stick" behind him immediately remembered several heavy rains he had encountered during the journey and their miserable experiences. Then he frowned, and did not speak much, but accelerated his pace.

The two of them were walking in front with their eyes covered, which was the one-eyed dragon of the Luo family, and the one who was leaning on a "wooden stick" behind them was Tadao of the Luo family.

As members of the Second Expedition Team of the Luo Family, in fact, more than a month ago, they were still in Tokaido, helping the young master of the First Expedition Team, Nobura, the military advisors Kazusuke Yamamoto, Shaoyun Takahashi, and others to arrange the local layout. More than a month ago, after completing most of the tasks and receiving the order from the Lord Masaru from Kyushu, the members of the Second Expedition Team of the Luo Family quickly divided several teams and began to march towards the final destination of the expedition team along multiple directions such as Sagami, Kakai, Echigo, etc., and Masamune Luo Family and Tadao Honda have always had a good relationship. So they automatically formed a separate team.

Regarding the previous arrangements of the Lord Zhengliang for the public, Masatozong of Luo's family was actually very clear about the purpose. At the beginning, they were arranged to stay in Tokaido to help the First Expedition Team, in order to increase their experience, and later they were arranged to divide them into several teams. On the one hand, they were to avoid attracting the attention of local nobles because of a large number of people gathering together, and on the other hand, they were intentionally allowed to make everyone on the journey to increase their experience and familiarity with the local area.

As for the question of how they need to contact the Luo family when they encounter difficulties during their journey, the Lord Zhengliang also made arrangements in advance. As long as they find the main shopping mall with their respective identity documents, they can contact the Luo family's local intelligence cabinet staff. All this shows that the Lord Zhengliang has a great purpose.

Of course, these are just the purposes that Luo family Masaru can analyze at present. As for the more profound purpose of the Lord Gong Zhengliang, it is estimated that only the Lord Gong Zhengliang himself can know.

"Look, there are people living there." Just as the Luo family Masato Sect was pondering, Tadao Tada behind them suddenly shouted. Tadao Tadao then turned sideways and looked in the direction Honda Tadao Tadao, and it turned out that there were indeed two thatched huts on a hillside west of the mountain road.

"It's going to rain. Why not go there and see if you can buy a straw raincoat?" At this time, Tadao Honda suddenly suggested.

"Yes!" Luo's Masatozong also remembered the scene of the two people having experienced several heavy rains before, so he nodded in agreement.

Then the two of them slowly moved forward to the front of the thatched hut and knocked on the door. The one who came out to meet them was a little girl with a thin face but a pair of bright and transparent eyes (it was probably that all the adults in the family were out at this time). After learning about the purpose of the two of Luo's Masatozong, the little girl hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and finally closed the door.

The two of Luo family Masazong thought that the little girl was alone at home and it was inconvenient to welcome them into the house, so they didn't think much about it. However, after they waited for a while, the little girl did not appear again. The two couldn't help but look at each other, and they felt strange.

Fortunately, the little girl came out in the end, but she did not take out the straw coat needed by the two of Luo family Masatozong, but silently handed him a mountain-blowing flower (i.e., double-petaled dying flower), and then shyly closed the door and stopped appearing.

The little girl's strange behavior made Masato Sect and Honda Tadao very puzzled. Honda Tadao even thought to herself in anger: "I'm going to borrow a straw raincoat, but why are you waiting for me for the two of you?"

Masajong Luo was also puzzled, but soon he remembered a waka song clip from the collection of the waka songs sung by a waka song that he had heard in the castle of the Luo Family Xuefu City. The clip was as follows:

"Seventh and eighth reopen,

The mountains are full of flowers,

The end is fruitless,

Thousands of sorrow and sorrow."

The first round of the mountain flowers will be fruitful, but the first round of Yae will not be; in the Japanese pun, "Fruit No: Nonai" and "Suanyi" are homophonic. In fact, the little girl told Luo family Masajong that the little girl's family did not have a straw coat because she was poor.

After thinking about this clearly, Masajong of Luo couldn't help but be shocked. Judging from the little girl's figure, she was only eleven or about 2 years old at this time, but she actually had such a cultural rest? After all, in this era, ordinary civilians did not have the opportunity to come into contact with cultures such as waka. From this point of view, it can be seen that the little girl's original family environment should be good.

So, why did the little girl's family hide in the mountains here and fall into poverty? Then the Luo family Masajong thought of the information he had obtained from the crowd around him during his journey.

The Hachinozi area and the Musashi country area, the intersection of the Takeda family in Kata, the Hojo family in Sagami, and the Warring States Daimyo in Kanto are strategic places that must be fought for by military strategists. Since the beginning of the Warring States Period, they have been constantly experiencing wars. The most recent one is still underway. The battle to fight the Hojo family led by Echigo guarding the Nagao family. At this time, the battlefield between the two sides is concentrated in the Musashi country.

In this environment, the local people naturally fell into poverty and even exile. The family of the little girl that Luo Family Masato met at this time should be one of the victims. Looking at the somewhat simple thatched hut in front of him, Luo Family Masato couldn't help feeling sad. Then he remembered that he had learned an ancient poem from the Ming Dynasty after following the teachers from the Ming Dynasty in the Kyushu Luo Family Academy.
