Kusuriya no Hitorigoto

XVIII. On the Way

(Where the hell are you going?)

Cat Cat (Mao Mao), Xiaohong (Xiaohong), and the Female Puppet Master were hanging around for a few days.Ride the horse-drawn carriage to take a break while traveling, and repeat stays in villages and towns.

Unlike the center, I didn't know if it was all moving around in the meadow.However, as far as I could confirm the sun's position from time to time, it seemed to be heading west.

“May I ask where you're going?”

The cat asks the female mage a question.

"Can you tell me the name of the settlement?"

I got a response that there was no noise from the gu.

“You know, we're heading west.In the meantime, my parents' home is the second capital of Taoxi Prefecture.My husband, who leaned toward business because of the damage caused by locusts, and my wife and children, who the world doesn't know can't stay like this, hire a mentor with the money they need, and it's a way to tell my parents about my poverty. "

“Very well, sir.”

In other words, the destination must be in or ahead of the second city.

(rude to the world)

The cat thought that it was a cat, but it was not likely to enter the inland part of Pu Xizhou.My eyes shine when I see food, drinks, and crafts that I've never seen before.

At first, she was separated from her uncle, Xiaohong, who was atrophied, but she seemed to be curious about the young child.I could afford to take a peek at the stalls with the cat and the cat.

She's a very good girl, isn't she?

I think cats build cats. I hang in there longer, and I say my resignations.Cats and cats don't like children, but rather hate them.I often sanction children who don't listen, but I don't feel that way about Xiaohong.Rather, it's an adult-looking atmosphere.I was made to imagine what kind of environment Xiaohong grew up in.

As the female mentor was aiming for, the cat and Xiaohong were the mother and child settings, and no one wondered.In addition to the redness of the cat's skin, the stains were increased around her eyes like the freckles she usually used.Xiao Hong also has bright hair, so if the blood of the foreign husband is thick, it is persuasive even though she does not resemble a wife.That's all the more so when you add the trade job to the setup.

It's not very atrophic, is it?

A female chef said at the rice shop.It is a small rice shop with a table that seats four people.The upstairs also serves as an inn and also takes care of horses.

He said, "There's no chance of atrophy, no chance of hinterland."

Whether you're nervous or not, if the roads are one and the same, you'll want to take it easy until you're faced with a problem.Cats and cats eat noodles (bread) with lamb juice.The taste of the meat is stained, but the salt is quite modest.The vegetables are a little root vegetables and camellia, and the drinks are precious water and a lot of liquor.It was a little expensive for Xiaohong, but I ordered water for her to drink.

The inn was lonely.It must have originally been a relay point for trade.It can be seen that the heart of the economy, such as trading, is being hit while the food shortage caused by locust damage is being reduced.

So, the atmosphere of the customers of the rice shop is also bad.

(At first glance, I can't see the broken door.)

In the corner of the store, I see a customer drinking alcoholic beverages.Looks like you've been looking at the cat and cat seats for a while now.

(Who are you looking to target?)

There are only three women in the cats' seats.There are two guards and guards, but I stagger my time and eat dinner.

It was all about targeting me.

Don't you hire any other mentors?

"A reliable guard should be in the next town."

In other words, it seems that people with no background are unwilling to hire them.

Doesn't one of you eat with the other?

It would be different if there were only one man in the seat.

"Many people think it is unreasonable for a woman to be present with a man other than her family in Jinxi Prefecture."

In other words, he wants to say that there are inconsistencies in the settings.

“I'll be preparing to head to the next town, but I'll leave an escort in the inn, but please don't leave the room.”

Got it.

I also wanted to explore the town, but I listened to the female mentor quietly.

“I know you're busy, but please read it.”

(Reading)

Right now, the cat and the cat are holding only what was in the locked room.It was in the Porto carriage at some point, so I wonder if it was brought by Xiaohong.

I have no interest in cats or cats, but I had no choice but to read them if I had nothing to do.

The female mentor came back about a while later.It seems that the purchase is completed together, and I have a large bag, but the face is not floating anywhere.

The cat was tired of reading and playing with Xiaohong.That said, it was really only a matter of time to spare, such as an old man who used seashell pebbles and an aunt.

I see you didn't have much good news.

“Yes, we were supposed to meet in the next town, but now it seems to be off the trade route and we have no information.”

The female mentor places a large bag in front of the cat.

Are you off the trade route?

The cat and cat open the bag while listening back.The bag contained preserved food such as dried meat, fur for cold protection, and fresh medicine.Cats and cats make their eyes shine.

"Yes, because there are many bandits on the streets along the way, the merchants avoided them."Originally, even though there were many occurrences, it would be the result of the food shortage caused by locust damage, the recession and the increase in the number of people blighted in jobs.If you're going to go down a dangerous road, it's better to go through it and head to the next town. "

Uh...

No matter how much you eat, if you take it away from me, there will be nothing to take it away from you.

But isn't there a reliable bureau in the next town?

The cat said as he laid out the medicine.

"I said I had an escort, not a mentor."

Ah...

I certainly didn't say "master".Cats and cats are convinced while sniffing the soot medicine.Xiaohong also imitated the cat, but because it was a strong-smelling herbal medicine, she held her nose and peeled off her tail.

Honestly, I think it's time to go back to the West.

“We can't make that decision yet.My job is to get you back when I know there's no danger at all. ”

To be clear, the female mentor. I don't know what the plan is to take the cats around.But I felt there was no lie or deception in this word.

"But I don't know what to do if I don't get in touch in the next town.So, how about we go with some danger in mind? "

The cat roars while checking the dryness of the medicine.

“When I'm told that, I don't have the right to veto.If you just hang out and go around Taoxi Prefecture, you'll run out of road silver. "

“It would be a little easier for me to say that.”

The female mentor takes out a small pot from her pocket.It's smaller than the palm of my hand that was carefully glazed.

What's this?

The cat and the cat put down the medicine and narrowed their eyes.

"It's a neurotoxic. Please do not warm it up too much because it is sensitive to heat."

I could have helped you with the snake poison.

The cat shakes the pot gently when it receives it.I heard a small sound of water. How many snakes did I catch to collect this much?Snake poison is less stable and poisonous than mineral poison.Particularly vulnerable to heat. It is consistent with the experience of cats and cats, as it is written in the book.

"Snake and you know it." When you go to a butcher, it's very easy to collect. "

Do you have any scorpions?

"A little bit mixed."

The cat thought that the female mentor was serious.

"And this."

Give the cat a cloth with a needle in it.The needle is fixed and can be carried without stabbing when wrapped around the cloth.

"If anything happens to you, please consider your own life first."

(Whatever it is, survive.)

Worst of all, the murderer said that she was a murderer.
