Chapter 494: Priceless



Ichiro Kou was seriously injured but still alive.

You have to admit that sometimes people's vitality is quite tenacious, especially when they don't want to die.

Now, Ichiro Kouichiro is lying on a wooden board with bandages all over his body, drinking the porridge that is brought to his mouth mouthful by mouthful, and it looks like he wants to live for another few hundred years.

The person responsible for taking care of Ichiro Kou was Nojiri Hikaru's wife. Because the environment at the dock was too harsh, seriously injured people like this could only be transferred to the village for care.

The women were responsible for taking care of the injured people and could earn one work point a day. Although it was not as much as men, it was better than nothing. If they accumulated little by little, they could earn enough for their monthly food rations. The work points earned by the men could be saved to buy something big for the family.

I heard that there are three new spinning machines at the dock. They are great things. If I could really get one of them home, my wife could do some side jobs after her weekday work and earn some income for the family.

Isn’t this what life is like for ordinary people? It gets better little by little, and life becomes more promising than before.

Thinking of this in her heart, a smile appeared on the corner of Nojiri Hikaru's wife's mouth.

This smile melted the heart of Ichiro the little Inu lying on the bed.

You know what, life has been better recently, and Hui Niang has become a little brighter.

The key point is that she is a good girl. She has a different flavor than the women I have seen in those brothels before.

After finishing his meal, Xiaoquanyilang couldn't help but chuckle and said, "My dear, how old are you this year? How is your family? I can tell from your hands that you are a hard worker. A beautiful woman like you really shouldn't be treated like this. Why don't you come with me? I promise to take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks!"

Hui Niang frowned when she heard this, but didn't say anything.

She cleared the dishes, stood up and prepared to go out.

Seeing this, Xiaoquan Yilang said anxiously, "Young lady, don't go! Let's talk a little more. Don't you like rouge and powder? Don't you like silk and satin? As long as you follow me, you can have all of these. I will also find a dozen maids to serve you, so that you don't have to work by yourself anymore."

Hui Niang still didn't respond and opened the door on her own. Nojiri Hikaru was standing outside the door. He walked in, grinned at Kouichiro, and put his hand on the wound on Kouichiro's shoulder.

Ichiro Kou, who was in the mood to talk sweetly just now, now looked pale.

A layer of fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead, and his body was like a fish that had just been brought ashore, flapping on the wooden board and wailing for mercy.

Nojiri Hikaru curled his lips in disdain, and even after releasing his hand, he sneered, "I thought you were some kind of hero, but this is all you can do? You can't even handle this little bit of pain? What a coward! You're such a wimp, and you still want to seduce other people's wives?"

Inu Ichiro, who was grimacing in pain, didn't dare to refute. He kept begging for mercy until Nojiri Mitsuru let go of his hand.

"Please spare my life, my dear, please spare me. I won't dare to do it again!"

Nojiri Hikaru loosened his grip, looked at Kouichiro with some disgust, and said, "You're lucky, kid. If the adults didn't want to get something out of you, do you think you'd still be alive?"

"Yes, yes, you are right. Just ask whatever you want to know. I will tell you everything."

"Haha, your attitude is correct. Let me ask you, where are you pirates from, and why are you attacking us?"

Without a second thought, Kouichiro confessed, "We are pirates from Fukuoka. As for why we attacked here, it's naturally for money. Everyone knows that there are Da Qi ships stationed in Nagasaki and that they have already started trading with Da Qi."

"Not only are the daimyo here making a lot of money, but even the people here are richer than those in other places."

"Actually, I didn't believe it before I came here, but after seeing Big Brother's generosity and your family's financial situation, I knew the rumors were true. You people in Nagasaki have truly become wealthy."

In fact, even the villagers near the wharf cannot be said to have become completely rich. They have merely embarked on the road to wealth.

But now that Koinu Ichiro said this, Nojiri Hikaru still liked it.

"Yes, if we follow the Da Qi people, we will be able to live a good life sooner or later, so we are very unhappy that you beasts come here to make trouble!"

As Nojiri Hikaru was about to strike again, Koinou Ichiro quickly begged for mercy, "No, no, no, I really know I'm wrong, please let me go! As long as you let me go, all the gold, silver and treasures I've hidden will be yours!"

"Actually, I've been a pirate for quite some time now, and I've accumulated quite a bit of wealth. If you could get your hands on this fortune, big brother, it wouldn't be a problem for you to become the richest man in your village. It wouldn't be a stretch to even think of becoming richer than your local daimyo."

Nojiri Hikaru sneered, "Haha, do you think I'm a fool? How much money can a poor pirate like you have?"

Seeing a way out, Xiaoquanyilang hurriedly explained, "I'm not lying to you. You must believe me. In fact, I'm a small leader among these pirates. How about this, if you're willing to let me go, I can give you at least three gold bars!"

Gold is a precious metal in any civilization, and Japan also regards it as a treasure.

If there really were three gold bars, the Nojiri family would suddenly become rich!

At that time, they can buy a house in the city, hire some maids, and live a happy life being served.
