One Piece: In the Name of the Father

Chapter 42

Matsurize is very embarrassed now, and doesn't know whether he should walk over.

Facing the villagers in these villages, facing their naked malice, Matsurize didn't know how to face them.

Matsurize was behind the big banyan tree, waiting, waiting for them to finish talking about Matsurize and Ayane.

Then Matsu Rize came out from behind the big banyan tree. Matsu Rize pretended to be nonchalant and greeted them.

The villagers of Xiaohe Village were also a little surprised when Matsurize suddenly appeared.

After all, they just talked about others behind Matsurize's back, which is always bad.

The people in the village still have a little shame, and they all responded to Matsurize with some embarrassment.

These people looked at Matsurize who looked normal, and wondered if Matsurize heard the gossip behind them.

Matsurize didn't say much to them as usual. After Matsurize greeted them politely, he hurried to Uncle Abin's house.

This time, Matsurizawa never encountered such an unsatisfactory thing.

Matsurize came to the door of Uncle Abin's house. Uncle Abin's house was no smaller than Ayane's, but not as beautiful as Ayane's.

Uncle Abin's house is very distinct from the old to the new. It doesn't look like a complete and beautiful home, but like three or four houses of different individuals and styles spliced ​​together.

There are seven members of Uncle Abin's family. There is an old mother, a father who has died young for many years, and a married couple who are raising four children. The oldest is only about ten years old, and the youngest is still breastfeeding.

The labor force of their family depends on Uncle Abin alone, and Uncle Abin works very hard.

And the reason why Ayane asked Matsurize to go to Uncle Abin's family to borrow some salt.

This is because in the village, Ayane wasn't very popular. Maybe it has something to do with Ayane's aloofness!
As for the fate between Uncle Abin and Ayane, it started very early.

When Ayane was young, her father went out to sea to pursue her dreams, and her mother later died indirectly at the hands of the Bloody Hand Pirates.

Ayane was very young, so she had to eat a hundred meals in the village alone. In the beginning, Ayane did rely on the support of the people in the village to get through the most difficult period of her childhood.

But Ayane is very dissatisfied with all of this, with the fact that she has to eat hundreds of meals to grow up, and that she has to look at the faces of different people to eat every day.

And this turning point was brought about by Uncle Abin, who saw the grief and indignation in Ayane's eyes, and accidentally saw Ayane's excellent blacksmithing skills.

Uncle Abin was the first to use food, and took his shovel that needed repairs to Ayane for repairs, and exchanged food for repair costs.

It was a long time since Ayane felt that her dignity had returned, that she could rely on her handicrafts for a living, and that she could live independently.

This is how the fate between Uncle Abin and Ayane was forged. The two became friends for years. In the years to come, both of them helped each other in a way that was acceptable to each other's dignity.

Generally speaking, when Ayane was young, Uncle Abin helped Ayane a lot and gave Ayane a rare dignity.

Later, after Uncle Abin got married, and after Ayane grew up, it was Ayane who repaid Uncle Abin in turn in these years, using the same method as Uncle Abin.

Matsurizawa is not very clear about these, but he will do what Ayane says.

Matsurize knocked on the door of Uncle Abin's house, and within a short time, a seven or eight-year-old child opened the door for Matsurize.

Matsurize looked at the child in front of him, thinking that this should be Uncle Abin's second or third child!
Ayane did not tell Matsurize how the fate with Uncle Abin came about, but Ayane and Matsurize introduced the specific situation of Uncle Abin's family of seven.

I only heard the child who opened the door speak in a childish voice.

"Who are you, why haven't I seen you?"

Such a big child would wander around the village all day when he was free.

In the past three months, Matsurize has only appeared occasionally in the village, so he has never seen each other with the child of Uncle Abin's family.

Matsurizawa squatted halfway, keeping the same level as the child, Matsurizawa said to him.

"Hello, kid, my name is Ozawa, and I'm here to see your lord, is Uncle Abin at home?"

Song Lize told others that his name was Ozawa, which showed Song Lize's kindness to this person.

This kid from Uncle Abin's family was also the first time he saw such a friendly adult who treated him so equally.

The child didn't care about Matsurize who was outside the door, and ran into the house at a trot all the way.

Matsurize heard from a distance that the child was talking to someone after entering, but unfortunately the distance was too far for Matsurize to hear.

Matsu Rize looked at the open door, but Matsu Rize didn't step inside. Although the door was opened, Matsu Rize didn't get the owner's invitation and consent. Matsu Rize's inner door was tightly closed, and he remained motionless. standing here.

This is actually related to Matsurize's special experience. Ever since Matsurize lost his memory, Ayane taught Matsurize various common sense of life and principles of life, etc. Matsurize has received too many positive things in the past three months taught.

This has caused Matsurize to become a good person in some respects.

Matsurize was in front of the door, and after waiting for a long time, the owner of the house, that is, Uncle Abin, came out.

Uncle Abin heard his child's words and knew that someone was looking for him at the door.

Uncle Abin then went out to see who was looking for him, and Uncle Abin saw Matsurize standing at the door from a long distance away.

Uncle Abin was very enthusiastic. He recognized Song Rize, and trotted, he dragged Song Rize into his small courtyard.

After Matsurize entered Uncle Abin's house, he looked at the small yard in front of him. The small yard was crowded with people.

An old lady was weaving something, a middle-aged woman was disciplining two children who were running wild in the yard, and not far away was a half-year-old boy standing by the cradle helping his parents take care of his younger brother who was still nursing.

Uncle Abin also just came out of the kitchen, and he was busy with lunch at this time.

Seeing that Matsurize came to the door at this time, Uncle Abin knew that there must be something wrong, so he quickly asked Matsurize why he came.

Matsurize directly replied to Ayane's instructions to him, like Uncle Abin borrowing some salt, and they will return it to Uncle Abin and the others when they return from the shipwreck port next time.

Uncle Abin was very generous, turned around and took out a bag of salt from the kitchen, handed it to Matsurize, and wanted to keep Matsurize for dinner.

Matsurize hurriedly shied away, then got away and walked towards home.
