The Journey of the Plane / The Journey of the Plane: Looking for Lily

Volume 20 Kino's Journey: No.[-] Two Kingdoms, A Country Without Walls ([-])

There are about [-] hemispherical movable tents built in the village.

Of course, the so-called "hemispherical movable tent" comes from Kino's second speed, and Moli knows very well that these are almost exactly the same as a yurt.

The tent is covered with a thick layer of canvas, which is obviously used to prevent rain, and in the center of the twenty or so yurts is a huge yurt that is twice the size of other yurts, and Mo Li directly and irresponsibly It is speculated that this must be dedicated to the patriarch.

There are many cattle and sheep grazing leisurely nearby.

many.

Then the men on horses drove the livestock around.

When Mo Li and others approached the village, they saw almost 20 people standing in twos and threes at the gate of the tribe to welcome them.

The ages of these residents are all different, some look to be in their 20s, some look older, and some are middle-aged women with babies or children, but the strange thing is that they are almost the same age. Two-thirds of the people had a long pipe in their mouths, and they were blowing out white smoke rings from their mouths one after another—the smoke rings slowly rose into the air and disappeared without a trace. With the breeze, Mo Li could smell a faint smell of tobacco very keenly, and could not help but slightly frowned.

After all, she didn't like smoking in the first place.

Therefore, I will subconsciously resist the smell of smoke, and always feel that my body is being poisoned by second-hand smoke, and I even have a feeling that I can't breathe.

And for some reason, she always felt a little strange.

It's a pity that she couldn't tell what made people feel so strange.

At this time, Chino had already walked off Mr. Motorcycle, took off his hat and goggles, walked slowly in front of the people, and greeted them gently and politely: "Hello, everyone, I am Chino." , and behind me are my partners, Mo Li and Hermes."

Everyone was not only observing Kino, but also Moli, their eyes circled between the two of them, but they did not forget to echo Kino's words.

Then a man who looked the oldest and most imposing walked out of the crowd.

It looks like it should be the patriarch here, right?

The patriarch welcomed the visit of Kino and his party very much, and sincerely said that for their nomads, meeting travelers from far away is a very rare event!Then he warmly invited Kino, Moli, and Hermes to rest here for a while—Kino naturally agreed, and then Moli and Kino who pushed Hermes were taken to a tent by a woman. Inside, it is said that the tent of a certain family in the tribe was temporarily used as a tent for entertaining guests from afar.

By the way, Mo Li was not surprised that everyone didn't see herself as a puppet. After all, she didn't know there was anyone here, so she didn't cast hint magic in advance.

Usually, after seeing the city wall, I secretly decide whether to add hint magic or not.

The woman leading the way left shortly after.

Gently taking off the jacket he was wearing, and taking out the [Man of the Forest] hanging on his waist, Kino finally couldn't suppress his surprise and started talking to himself.

"The women just said that they have to move several times a year in search of grass, and the place is not fixed, so it is a miracle that we can meet them... This kind of tribe has lived with nature and the earth in the grassland all their lives, so they will Unlike other countries, there are no towering walls..."

While talking, he threw himself directly onto the soft big bed, and Kino buried his head deeply in the pillow, and couldn't help but let out a sound of indulging and extremely comfortable emotion.

"It's so comfortable..."

"Sure enough, some soft beds are different..."

But in an instant, she perfectly changed from a capable traveler to a salted fish.

And Hermis obviously soured directly into a lemon essence. The sourness made Chino, who is a human being, sleep on a big soft bed, but himself who is just a motorcycle can only sleep standing up every time, so he began to tease with some malicious intentions. Get up: "What's the matter? Are you envious? Does Chino want to join the gang?"

"Join a ghost"

Faced with Hermis' strange yin and yang, Mo Li, who exhaled a fragrant breath, said that one kick would be enough, if one kick is not enough, then two more kicks!

Guaranteed to make Hermes regret that he made a noise in the world as a motorcycle!

However, I was a little afraid that Kino might really be like Hermis said, and had a little interest in joining this hospitable tribe that coexisted harmoniously with nature, so he hurried to the side of the big bed where Kino was lying , held up the notepad to indicate to Kino that this place is a bit strange—but Kino just took a look, and then continued to bury his head in the pillow without saying a word, as if he took Mo Li's kind reminder as a joke, It made Moli even more anxious, but he didn't know how to describe it, so he couldn't help but become a puffer fish.

Immediately, he started to frantically shake Kino's skirt, as if he wanted to tear Kino off the big bed.

"alright……"

But Kino didn't seem to have ignored Moli's reminder, and turned his head helplessly, looking at Moli's cheeks that had swollen like balloons.

"Don't worry, I know it's a bit weird here, and I wouldn't stay here even if there was no Guguao."

— After all, she still has a contract with Mo Li, doesn't she?

After comforting Moli, he looked at Mr. Motorcycle, who had teased him on purpose just now, and Chino responded without a trace, smiling very calmly, but speaking mercilessly: "It's better to say that it's Hermes, you like this place and want to stay here Right? But it's a pity that there are no cute motorcycle ladies here, or... so you like the type of little pony sister?"

?

A big question mark appeared on Mr. Motorcycle's head. After all, his IQ was a little tricky, and he was stunned for five seconds before he realized that Chino was deliberately saying such words to tease him!

"Wow! You are too much! I don't like creatures with four legs!"

——Did you just complain about this?

——In other words, Hermes really wants to find a cute motorcycle lady?

Mo Li felt that she had discovered a very unbelievable truth, and she couldn't help but secretly nodded her head, expressing that although Hermis is a mentally retarded person who likes to die and is incurable, mentally retarded people have the right to pursue happiness, right?Everyone must not think that Hermes is not worthy of pursuing Miss Motorcycle just because Hermes is mentally handicapped... In short, the time gradually passed amidst the daily hustle and bustle, and in the evening, Mo Li and Kino were invited by everyone Enjoy dinner and be introduced one by one to other people who haven't met the traveler.

Ok……

Mo Li doesn't complain, this way is like treating travelers as rare animals.

After all, they still have to eat and drink for nothing here.

There are more than 50 people in the village, among them there are about a dozen children under the age of 12, and they are all taller than Moli. After seeing this, Kino said that he has no hope for Moli's height. Well, from the perspective of never growing her head, Mo Li really looks like a doll.

Closer to home, dinner is not surprisingly based on a variety of dairy products.

Although it looks simple and light, for a foodie who has been eating portable food during the trip, it is good enough to be able to enjoy normal food!

--certainly.

——Mo Li has never admitted that she is a foodie.

Chino's foodie level is lower than that of Moli, but he is also a foodie. He said that it is delicious, and Moli seems to like these dairy products by accident, so eating it is more cheerful than eating a big meal—— ——The only fly in the ointment is that the tent is full of smoke. The people of the tribe can’t leave their mouths with endless smoke even after dinner, so that Moli only feels that the smoke is particularly smoky, and it even makes her want to cough all the time, so she dare not Continue to eat, and when he was almost done, he hurried out of the tent to breathe fresh air.

And Kino obviously had the same idea as Mo Li, so after Mo Li came out, he also ran out together.

It is estimated that only the old smoker can stand the smoky environment.

At this moment, someone suddenly greeted them from the side - everyone should be enjoying dinner inside now, why are there still people standing outside?

Mo Li looked over with a hint of doubt, and Kino also moved his eyes over with a tacit understanding.

Through the fiery red sky, one can clearly see that the person standing in front of him is a slender, but unusually thin man. The facial features of the other party are not as thick as the men in this clan, but somewhat It feels delicate, but the bones seem to be weaker.

How should I describe it?

If the men in the clan are strong and strong northerners, then the man in front of him should be a southerner who came out of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

And the skin is somewhat fairer than them.

—Aren’t they people of the same race?

However, the reason why Kino raised his eyebrows in surprise was not that the man had a different appearance from the men in the clan, but that this man had a pair of distinctive eyes, the color of which was the same gray as Moli, but different from Moli Li didn't have any vitality at all, the man obviously had a normal light, but he just looked a little out of spirits... The man didn't care that both Kino and Mo Li were looking at him, they were still looking at Kino lightly, and suddenly Said: "Traveler, everyone thinks you are a man, but you are not, right?"

It was clearly a sentence to ask people, but the tone of voice did not fluctuate at all, as if it was stating a fact.

The voice of the man is also different from that of the men in the clan.

It's not full-bodied, but it sounds very magnetic, obviously in the pleasant range.

Although Kino was a little surprised that the man could see through his real gender at a glance, he didn't care: "What does it matter what my gender is?

The scene fell into silence.

Mo Li felt a little weird.

Mo Li has been observing the man, and feels that she can see some flaws in the man's expression, but it's a pity that the man's expression is as calm as Chino's, and he looks at Chino silently for a long time, and then gently leaves a sentence Just leave after nothing.

What a very strange person...

Both Moli and Kino felt so in their hearts.

the next day.

The lazy Moli stayed on the bed and refused to get up, while the industrious Chino still got up at dawn, and after completing the maintenance procedures for [Canon] and [Senzhiren] in the tent, he began to draw his guns. By the time everything was over it was almost time for breakfast.

After breakfast, the men went out to graze, leaving the women in the tent to clean up the dishes on the table, and then mend clothes and look after the children.

of course.

In their spare time, they still didn't forget to take out their precious pipes and take a few puffs from time to time facing the blue sky.

Mo Li is no stranger to this.

It can only be said that these smokers are really addicted to smoking!

And at this time, Moli and Kino are of course very free, so busy that they can only look at the blue sky in a daze, but unexpectedly, Hermes is working very hard!Originally, Hermis simply thought that as a motorcycle, he would be ignored by everyone for granted, but he never thought that it actually underestimated the brats—the kids here had never seen a motorcycle, so they rushed forward and twittered. It's really strange to talk about what kind of creature Hermes is, and to laugh and laugh about Hermes' name while touching Hermes' fuselage.

Hermes is almost going crazy!

Fortunately, after Kino saw this, he kindly came over to help Hermes out of the siege, and Mo Li, who followed behind, also found that these brats also had small pipes on their waists!

etc--

Is this kid a smoker?

Because he was too surprised, Mo Li directly grabbed one of the older little boys, held up a notepad and asked them if they would also smoke with adults—and when the bear boy saw that Mo Li was even taller than himself He was half a head short, and suddenly became extremely stinky: "Huh? You little brat is also greedy for this? But you are too young to smoke! Although I can't use this now. Pipe, but I'll be able to use it soon! After all, I'll be an adult next year!"

To be reasonable, hearing this brat keep calling her a brat, Mo Li really wanted to mercilessly refute that you are a brat!

And she is not greedy for this kind of thing at all!

Volume 20 Kino's Journey: No.[-] Three Kingdoms, A Country Without Walls ([-])

After some exchanges.

Moli and Kino finally understood that these pipes were only for grown-ups, as a reward for their daily hard work, and at the same time proved that they were already independent.Men use "horse riding skills" as the capital of whether they are good or not, while women use "mowing ability" to distinguish them.

Anyway-

These two abilities are the main conditions that determine whether their life in the tribe is good or bad.

Moreover, Mo Li also learned another piece of information from it. It turns out that the children here have already been decided by the elders to have an unchangeable marriage.

Is it sad?

It's not really sad.

After all, born here and raised here, these children are of course accustomed to it. If they were instilled in them "should strive for free marriage", they would probably be treated as freaks in turn, right?Then at noon, all the men who went out for nomads had returned. After lunch, Kino was invited by the enthusiastic men to ride horses, while Mo Li was invited by the women to mow the grass—the place where Kino was riding. It is very close to the place where Mo Li cuts the grass, as long as they look up a little, they can easily see each other.

Mo Li is a child born in the city, so of course he has never tried mowing grass when he grows up, and he is also ignorant of farm work.

——The "mowing" in the game is another matter.

So it didn't go well at the beginning, but fortunately, Mo Li's learning ability is still very good. After learning with the women for a while, she became in style, and relying on her petite body, it was easy to shuttle through the grass , so that the movement is as light as a butterfly.

On the other hand, Chino...

She is also so grown up that she has never ridden a horse.

However, the speed of getting used to it is astonishing. In a short while, he can control the horse to run fast, and even when he pulls the rein, he can't see any strangeness.

After all, she's a motorcycle rider, isn't she?

Mo Li imagined that Kino might have gambled the dignity of the rider so desperately...

All in all, Moli on this side shuttles through the grass and mows the grass more neatly, while Kino on the other side becomes more and more familiar with riding a horse, and the posture of holding the rein in his hands becomes more and more It was as elegant and perfect as some kind of western aristocrat, so both men and women were sincerely praising it—then the patriarch in the crowd naturally saw all this in his eyes, and lightly exhaled a big cloud of smoke, Then, as if he had decided on something, he suddenly tapped the pipe in his hand hard, and said in a short and simple whisper: "That's it."

The adults around were not surprised.

They nodded silently at the same time, and no one stood up to oppose the patriarch's decision.

There was only a pair of plain gray eyes watching everything here calmly, no nodding along with the crowd, and no objection.

like an outsider.

……

Dinner was still quietly spent amidst the smoke.

Once again, Mo Li ran away directly because she couldn't stand the ravages of second-hand smoke. No matter how delicious the dairy food made by this tribe was, it was useless. Eat a half-full meal properly and run out quickly!After all, this kind of tent is not ventilated, and then there are a bunch of old smokers smoking crazily inside. The second-hand smoke produced is like the industrial waste gas directly emitted by a three-nil factory. Mo Li feels that her poor lungs are exhausted Almost scrapped.

Chino was not so exaggerated.

But she doesn't like being surrounded by second-hand smoke when eating, so she still goes out with Mo Li, comforting Mo Li in a funny way.

"As long as you hold on until tomorrow, you can go."

"But tomorrow will be bad weather~"

Mr. Motorcycle, who doesn't understand people's hearts and the dangers of second-hand smoke, dismantles the stage irresponsibly.

"Really?" Kino continued disapprovingly. Even though she knew that Hermes' ability to predict the weather was comparable to that of a meteorological station, she would not change her mind. She said softly but unquestionably, "However, three days have passed. , Even if it’s a storm, you have to go.”
