Kusuriya no Hitorigoto
VI. Meadows Part II
The cats and cats (Maomao) were then serene on the road.
(Thought you might have more bugs)
It's a meadow, so I'm pretty much there. But not so much mass occurrences, I just saw them jump once in a while.
(Were you worried?
Locust plagues have not occurred in the west capital. Then I'm relieved to be a cat and cat.
By the time I reached my next resting place, I had joined the brothers Luo Han (Rahan), who had preceded me.
"What, is that happening?
Brother Luo Han listens with a bluish face.
(Normal reaction, I guess)
Cats and cats realise when they see a sparrow (chue) who seems fine with being attacked by a bandit. It was such a reaction that I was accustomed to the field or within my assumptions.
The advance team had one carriage, two other escort-like martial arts officers besides Brother Luo Han, three farmers who thought they would help, and two local guide officers.
Cats and cats don't know who or how many are reasonable, but they felt there were a lot of guides.
(Didn't you originally plan to have one here?
Speaking of which, I was somewhat distracted to hear about the lack of a guide.
At the end of the second break, it was right up to the countryside. There are settled houses, mainly flowing rivers, around which you can see fields and trees. Behind it, I saw a kind of mountain. Unlike the mountains that cats and cats know, it is close to the hills (cucumbers) where the meadows were raised as they were.
Is it the sheep that look a little white? It may be the cow that looks black.
Would the population be about 300 people from the number of houses?
As we approach, the sheep will greet us. also some sheep this sheep, some sheep are poor after cutting their hair. I guess I'm just in the middle of the hair cutting season.
Children also seem to have a solid workforce, picking up sheep's shit and putting it in a cage.
"What, that one?
"Sheep manure, they say, fuels. If you lay it on the floor again, it'll be warm."
I'll add a little bit because the horse flashes look at me with strange eyes.
"Shit. ⁉"
"Oh, don't you know -? My brother-in-law."
Sparrows don't forget to stir up horse flashes. Note that it seems standard (defo) to use 'brother-in-law' when stirring.
The village was surrounded by external walls of excavation (dust) and bricks. To see where the bandits left off earlier, I guess they come every now and then.
Horseflashes are talking at the entrance to the village. Already, he let me know if the order was coming or not.
- Though.
Looks like one of the two guiding officers was summoned by a sparrow. Some grinning sparrow, a guide who gets more and more pale.
Disturbing air is also transmitted around. Behind the sparrow stood the samurai officer of the guard of the other party. The sparrows are sneery and the guide is dear, but they seem to be taking them no matter how they look.
I see.
The cat and cat arm each other and see where the guide is taken.
"Hey, what the fuck is that?
Hansan Luo also noticed that he was aiming.
"Probably want to negotiate a price cut. I heard about the safe road, and here comes the bandit."
"Uh, but isn't that the point?
"It may be a proposition, but it's a path I was specially taught because it's absolutely safe, and I think I was getting an even higher rate."
"You're lying, right? I mean, roads are just meadows. It's better to be fooled than to be fooled!
Exactly. Of course, it's bullshit because it's what cats and cats are saying on their own.
As we speak like that, the footsteps approach.
"The village chief will show you where to stay."
Horseflashes came.
"Okay."
"Regards"
Brother Luo Han responds politely. Though they treat me miscellaneously, I guess I'm being polite because I'm the eldest son in a good place.
"Okay. By the way..."
Horseflash sees Brother Luo Han.
"What can I call you?
Horseflash doesn't seem to know Brother Luo Han's name either.
"Whoa!"
Brother Luo Han's face full of expectations.
"I was wondering if I could be Brother Luo Han."
Answers the cat.
"Hey!"
Pitsuki, Brother Luo Han's back of his hand slaps the cat and cat on the shoulder.
"All right, you can have Brother Luo Han."
"Hey, there!
Brother Luo Han shouts to Horseflash without courtesy.
"Yes. I'm literally Luo Han's brother. I'm sure you know about Luo Han, but his habits aren't as strong as that, and he's a normal person, so no harm. As a potato farmer, I'm a Xuan (professional), so I'll take care of it."
"Who's normal! Who's the farmer!
If you're not a farmer, what is it? I could be a little more proud because I was helping with that huge potato field.
"Okay. If you're in Rahan's company, you have to be polite."
(I like that part)
Whatever it is, horse flashes are such a clutter in the way cats and cats are handled.
"Um."
The village chief talks to Nanny.
"May I show you?
"Oh, I'm sorry. Please."
The relieved-faced village chief led him to the square in the center of the village.
"Then use this house."
It was a mobile tent, like that used by the herding people.
"It's a tent used by those who settled in the village a few years ago, but it's still active and warm inside. A woman should use the little tent next to her."
Looking inside, it's certainly warm. A woolen cloth (felt) is coated on a net-like frame. Inside, a carpet was laid and a fireplace was built in the center. There are no windows and the air is going to be bad, but there are cylindrical columns above the fireplace that seem to be used to exhaust it. Is it the sheep shit the children were collecting earlier that is piled next to the fireplace?
The carpet is a carefully woven, flashy object, which I find to be a care for rural guests.
"It helped just before I folded it"
The village chief said softly.
(I guess you're talking about Lu Sun (Rickson))
I should have just been here a few days ago. What the hell has he come to do?
The mayor of the village, whose skin was shallow and black, looked old but had a firm ankle. It is a region with strong sunshine, so it may look older. Or, if you are a herding people, albeit settled, your ankles may be strong.
"It's too late today, so make it a meal and decide to rest. In front of the tent, I'll put on an escort for once, so is there a problem?
"Yes, I'm fine"
When the cat and cat take their baggage, they move to a small tent. When I took off my performance and went up, it felt fluffy. They also have a bunch of woolen cloths stacked under the carpet. When I take off the jacket that was woven with feathers, I put it to bed in a big letter on the floor.
(Oh, how about that?)
It's warm in the tent, and the floor is warm. He jumps up like a jerk and slaps his cheek properly.
rose up bulky, the sparrow just returned.
"Cat, you seem comfortable. And Mr. Sparrow."
a sparrow that narrows his eyes when he falls over.
"Mr. Sparrow, may I have a word of confirmation?
Cats and cats sum up what bothered me in one day in my head. I'll take the front seat somehow while I wrap it up. The sparrows also face each other in the front seat again.
"Yes, yes, what is it, Mr. Cat?"
The sparrow of response as usual.
"You're Mr. Sparrow, aren't you, the one who banditched you"
To the question of cats and cats, the expression on the face of a sparrow does not change anything.
"What does that mean, Mr. Cat?
"That was a bad way to put it. In other words, assuming a bandit was coming, he led the bandit to us later in life to reduce the actual harm"
The look on the face of the sparrow remains unchanged.
"Based on what do you think?
Not trying to get cats and cats in trouble. However, there are sparrows that seem to enjoy hearing that answer.
"Yes, the first. Why did you figure it out first and second? Maybe he cared about me and was thinking about moving around in as short a time as possible. I can see from the fact that you prepared a saddle for a comfortable seat on the moon. But even as we split up, I thought it might be unnatural to have two guides and not take either of them."
"Ugh."
Sparrows seem to be good at looking at maps, but if it's my first land, I've never had a guide. I dare you, it didn't seem like I'd taken you.
"Second, this jacket."
"Didn't you care about that coat?
"I treasured it very warmly. But was it Huawei who only cared about one thing?
"With Huamei?
Cats and cats see the jacket worn by the sparrows.
"Mr. Sparrow, I like being flashy, so I thought if you had two coats, you'd choose to be flashy. But Mr. Sparrow chose it to be relatively plain."
"Yes, but the least you can do about it, Mr. Sparrow."
A freckle with a kidding tone.
"Yeah, if Mr. Sparrow were to give me something better, I think it was given to me by you on the moon. I was talking about a comfortable saddle, so I thought I was definitely the jacket you gave me from the moon, too. But you're not."
Cats and cats are handy coats. Fine embroidery, I can tell, is pretty classy.
"It's like advertising that if you're wearing such good stuff, you're just the right duck for a bandit. The coat worn by Mr. Sparrow is a little plain to make it look like a role per duck samurai."
"Hehe. From the beginning, Mr. Sparrow's position is like that of a cat and cat samurai. So you're telling me that I dared put on a good coat to make Mr. Cat and Cat attack, and yet split it it between the advance team and the late team?
"Do you feel more like you've narrowed the target to one to reduce the actual harm than to target me?"
The sparrow's eyes blink.
"If you try to aim collectively with a wagon heading to the countryside, it will be a large area. With martial arts officers, the power increases, but some are unfamiliar with bandits. I didn't want to scare him badly and interfere with his future work, and he's less likely to be taken hostage"
Brother Luo Han looks healthy but doesn't look used to fighting. You will suffer from amnesia.
"If you divide it into two parts: first and second, and make people think that the smaller the more money, the bandits will be after you, won't they? To two women, one man. Horse flashes, strength is the kind of thing that honestly makes you look like a child, but as a martial arts officer, you can't say that big a body."
I don't think bandits will have bears in human skins if they open their lids, too.
"But Mr. Cat and Cat. If Mr. Cat's hypothesis is correct, how did Mr. Sparrow lure the bandit? No matter how many cats and cats wore a good coat, would it conveniently come as if they had been ambushed?
"That's why, right? Earlier, I was talking to one of the guides. Third, Mr. Sparrow talked to only one of the guides about the village."
The cat and cat recall a guide with a blue face.
"Didn't Mr. Sparrow tell the two guiding officers something else each before the advance team went out? to see which water field the late squad will use. If you show them a map and pretend to see where to rest, you can let them know where to rest."
I don't know what means of communication the guide took, but there will be as much help to share the information with the bandits.
"Yes, I used to hire suspicious people who seemed to be connected to bandits. Mr. Sparrow, each teaching a resting point, confirmed where he would be attacked. To make it clear whether the guide is white or black. In some cases they were both black."
"It's just one. Because the other guide is someone with a clear identity."
The sparrow did not deny what the cat and cat said.
"Is it your life on the moon?
The cat and cat told Mr. Nong to use it as a tool. So I didn't even assume this kind of use.
"No, I'm the one with the coat."
"Really?"
Then I guess not.
"Cats and cats are smart, so sparrows get in trouble"
"Mr. Sparrow doesn't know what he's thinking, so I'm in trouble too"
Sigh at each other.
"Mr. Cat, I have two favors for you"
"What is it?
"Sparrow is a bright and fun sparrow, so treat her as a sparrow always"
and took out the Shrug flag.
"... I don't know what that means, but I understand."
Cats and cats receive the flag and hang at their fingertips wondering what to do.
"Cat, cat. Another favor from Mr. Sparrow. May I ask you a question?
"What is it?
"Why did you think that the flashy, superior coat wasn't given to you by the moon?
Sparrows seem to have pure doubts.
"That one, if you were to give it to me, I thought it would be a practical item that was appropriate, comfortable, but refrained from decorating."
"Is that what it is?
"That's how it's come to be"
A sparrow looked at him with an indescribable face, but his gaze rises.
"I'm sorry"
I heard a woman from outside the tent.
"Please open it"
When the cat and cat said, the woolen cloth at the entrance shifted.
"Excuse me."
It's a middle-aged woman who's been glaring at me. I have a compass in my hand.
"We've got about three goats, as I was told, what do we do?
"Yes, yes, thank you. Okay, here's your money."
Sparrows make women grab money. Apparently, I asked for it before I went back to the tent.
(Goats, do you take them home?
If you want to eat it, it's cheaper after meat, and you don't need three heads.
The sparrows fish for their luggage while holding the goat's reins. I took out a bag that looked heavy.
"What? It."
"It's salt. Salt is precious around here because there is no sea and no rock salt can be removed. Goats love salt, too."
"So what are you going to do?
A cat and cat who somehow can't read their intentions.
The sparrow laughs.
"Negotiate. Mr. Sparrow is pacifist, so in the most tranquil direction possible. Cat, cat, cat. Heal your tired body."
When the sparrow turned his back on the cat and cat, he took the goats out.
