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

"And I really chose to live. I quickly became familiar with the work here and was accepted by the people around me... Then I became a couple with that girl. I didn't know until a long time later that this marriage seemed to be from me. It was already booked when it got the so-called good reviews...”

After finishing speaking, Laura fell into a long silence.

With the air, it became a little solidified.

It was also rare for Hermes to be serious, knowing that the topic being discussed was very serious, but he couldn't suppress his curiosity, so he suddenly asked cautiously——

"Are you happy?"

Laura shrugged lightly, and responded irrefutably: "It's not bad." However, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, and after a little silence, he added silently, "Maybe it's something in my life." The happiest period of time." While listening, Mo Li noticed that the man's gray eyes were so gentle that they almost melted when he mentioned these things, and couldn't help feeling a burst of laughter...Laura didn't choose to live, but You chose love, didn't you?Maybe Laura didn't know that a wandering prodigal son would fall in love with a girl in this ghost place?

However, Mo Li had a bad premonition at the same time.

After all, they stayed here for three days, but neither she nor Chino had ever seen a woman like Laura's wife.

Laura has always been alone.

As expected, Laura finally began to slowly tell her tragedy...

At this time last year his wife was murdered...why?There's no reason, just because you can't have a baby.

"I have been with her for so many years, but I haven't given birth to a son and a half daughter, so people in the clan agree that she must be sterile, and in their opinion, a woman who cannot give birth is of no value. It’s a waste to provide her with tobacco while looking at this kind of waste...don’t stare at me so fiercely.” Sensing that both Kino and Mo Li gave her very dangerous eyes directly because of such words, Laura looked at She was extremely helpless, and her gray eyes were as dim as a ruined pearl that had lost all its brilliance, "But they all thought so, and I couldn't even stop them, and the patriarch's order followed soon after, asking her to die. And she really obeyed."

Mo Li was very worried when she heard it.

I can't wait to smash the head of the mentally handicapped patriarch instead of Laura!

Let’s not talk about whether Laura’s wife is really infertile, even if she is not, she can’t be forced to death because she is infertile, right?

Laura originally joined the tribe willingly because she fell in love with him, but unexpectedly the mentally handicapped patriarch suddenly made such a painful operation, no wonder Laura wanted to betray the tribe!If it were Mo Li, she would definitely wish to drag the whole tribe to be buried with her dead wife in vain!

Please forgive Moli for speaking too much here——

But I finally understand why there is a common saying called "poor mountains and evil waters make troublesome people"!

Here are a bunch of thugs!

The dog's head is waiting for you!

Compared to Mo Li who was filled with righteous indignation because of the infection of the story, Kino seemed a little more sensible, and was very keenly aware that there was another part of the story that was not finished, so he looked straight into Laura's eyes and said word by word. He said softly, "What are you hiding?"

Laura was caught off guard for a moment, and the pipe in her hand fell directly to the ground.

"Ah……"

Afterwards, he let out a bleak laugh similar to self-deprecating, lightly picked up the pipe that had been around for some years, stroked his hand once and for all, then seemed to have figured everything out, suddenly heaved a sigh of relief, and resumed Facing Kino's dark eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, he said, "The last thing she said to me is exactly the same as what I said when I first met you..." The dim gray eyes silently watched Looking at the white smoke ring that has dissipated in the air, it becomes more and more moist, and it seems that tears may fall at any time.

And his words caused the scene to fall into deathly silence.

What did Laura and Chino say when they first met?

——Traveler, everyone thinks you are a man, but you are not, right?

Finally recalling that sentence, a feeling like a sudden realization came to my heart immediately, and Moli subconsciously moved her eyes to look at Laura... I have always felt that this guy is indeed too tall compared to other people. She is delicate, but because she is very tall, she doesn't doubt her real gender at all.

After all, Laura is very manly, isn't she?

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a woman...

Ok.

Mo Li finally understood that their story was a tragedy from the beginning.

And of course Laura could directly feel the surprised eyes of Mo Li and Kino looking at her subconsciously, tears finally broke the embankment and flowed down slowly.

"So—that girl is a real fool."

"I always thought I was hiding it well, but I never expected that she would have discovered it long ago...and I should have known it long ago. How could this kind of thing be kept hidden forever? Maybe when I first fell into a coma because of being tricked, When she came to take care of me, she already found out, right? But she didn't reveal my gender, even acquiesced in the marriage that the patriarch set for us, and walked on the road that could not have a happy ending without paying attention... What a big liar , You are really a big fool, you clearly know that I am a woman, why don't you just say it outright? Why do you want to accompany me in such a ridiculous scene?"

"A virtual dragon and a false phoenix...how could it be possible to have a child?"

"The damned one is me."

"She is obviously such a good girl..."

He closed his eyes gently, letting the tears slide down his cheeks.

Before she died, she told her that she had never regretted it, that she was very happy to meet her, and very fortunate to have met her, and being able to marry her was the luckiest thing in life.

——But she really regrets it.

——Why couldn’t they meet in a better place, at a better time, with better things, and a better ending.

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

The story ends.

As a result, the scene fell into an even more deadly silence.

Moli couldn't help being a little sad because of this fateful tragedy, but Kino was still able to keep calm. Even Laura, who was the party involved, quickly recovered after shedding tears, and hid all the emotions in the numb bed. Under the appearance, only slightly red eyes prove that he... oh, no, it proves that "she" has lost control of her emotions once before.

Anyway-

You can't stay in this place any longer, the clansmen outside will find you sooner or later.

So Laura directly mentioned Mo Li and they should be leaving.

And when they went out with Hermis, they happened to meet a group of tribesmen who followed the trail. They were obviously frightened by Laura standing on Kino's side. They never expected that Laura would choose to help outsiders!And in addition to being shocked and angry, bursts of anger rose uncontrollably... Probably the same feeling as "a traitor has been found among us", right?Mo Li knew that the experienced Kino would not be defeated by these miscellaneous fish, so she didn't bother to make a move. She just looked at the sky without any tension, thinking in her heart that the sky seemed to be darker than before, while she was in a daze. It was clearly noon, but the sky at this time was extremely oppressive as if a storm was about to come.

Mo Li couldn't help muttering in her heart that it was indeed the same weather as Hermes predicted yesterday.

I can only pray that it won't rain later...

After all, she didn't want to travel in the rain.

Seeing his clansmen being defeated by Kino and Laura one by one, the patriarch who couldn't stand it could only stand up and confront Laura.

It's just that Laura didn't care that the other party was a noble patriarch, she leisurely stuffed tobacco into the pipe, and then slowly began to speak very natural words, which directly made the patriarch smoke out of his wits—tsk tsk, look at Lao Pulling this kind of laziness now, if it wasn't for necessity, she would definitely not even bother to talk, right?

Boom!

The moment Laura lightly struck the match and lit the pipe, a dull explosion suddenly sounded in the depths of the village, waking everyone up!

The flames rushed to the sky!

"Hey, it's on fire—ahhh! The tobacco tent is on fire!"

The clansman at the back of the crowd let out a scream of misery, so that the others also screamed hysterically as if they had just woken up from a dream. Before the patriarch could speak, they threw down the weapons in their hands and rolled He scrambled and ran towards the burning tent in the back, shouting "My lifeblood" in pain and despair while running... Moli couldn't help frowning for a while, after all, this kind of ugliness was too unbearable. You Laura is still calm, watching everyone's ugliness while puffing smoke rings leisurely, making people feel that she is really handsome for no reason.

But Mo Li knew that this matter was definitely done by Laura!

After all, Laura has the motivation and the opportunity to do it. If it wasn't her doing it, could it be Hermes doing it?

Later, the facts proved that it was true——

When Laura was ordered by the patriarch to send Hermes "to hell", she took the opportunity to get engine oil from Hermes' fuel tank, and found some gunpowder in Kino's luggage, and then went directly to the centralized store where last year's harvest was stored. All tobacco tents, with a little rigging.

of course.

Now the tobacco has turned into a pile of ashes along with the flames, and the people of this tribe can only live for ten days, and revenge is obviously the best way.

"And so am I."

Even though she knew that she would die in ten days, Laura still had a calm expression on her face, puffing out smoke rings lightly from her mouth, and the white smoke enveloped her face, making her eyes even more hazy invisibly. It seems that there is a layer of gloomy haze quietly spreading.

Someone was killed by the fire.

Someone choked on the smoke.

Someone was trampled to death by the crowd.

Others were beaten to death by people driven mad by despair.

One after the other, all the members of the tribe fell to the ground and stopped moving, while Laura stood aside coldly and quietly watching the embarrassment of everyone struggling desperately, with a solemn and solemn expression, as if welcoming a It is a very sacred festival, and there is a trace of sadness, as if it is remembering or paying homage to something.

But just saying this is definitely not enough to kill all the people in the tribe, so Laura stepped forward directly afterwards, pulled out the dagger to make up for the surviving people.

Mo Li didn't stop.

Chino would not go over to stop it either.

They stood quietly watching the script directed by Laura as if they were watching a movie.

In the end, only the man who was once known as the patriarch was left alive, but he had already exhaled more than inhaled, and just collapsed on the ground, his cloudy eyes were covered with a layer of death before death. He stared at Laura standing in front of him tightly, and with his last breath, he forcibly reprimanded: "You...you bastard! Look at the good deeds you have done!" Finally, he coughed heavily after finishing speaking, and even coughed Blood came out, directly staining the small white beard on his chin, but Laura didn't care about this kind of innocence, just stared at him lightly with her gray eyes, as if observing How the last prey is dying.

"If you hadn't done that a year ago, maybe it wouldn't be the case today."

That's right.

If the patriarch didn't persecute her wife or let her die, then Laura might choose to help this tribe because she is greedy for the happiness she managed to manage, smoking a pipe with everyone, guarding her daily life, and even Frame travelers like clansmen.

But her wife died.

And how could she not hate this tribe that was becoming more and more twisted?

"Ha ha……"

Laura laughed softly, slowly approaching the man's neck with the blood-stained dagger in her hand, her eyes were sharp and determined.

"It's all over... goodbye, father-in-law..."

The dagger cut open the man's trachea. Seeing the man clutching his neck in pain and starting the final struggle, Laura lowered her head contentedly and whispered in the man's ear: "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you something. Secret..." The last sentence was drowned in the howling wind, and Laura raised her head again as expected, seeing the man's pupils constricted suddenly because of extreme shock, and her smile became brighter, obviously to Let him die with regret, and the reality is the same, even though the man has lost his last breath, he is still staring at her in shock and disbelief.

All right.

Now it's really all over.

After watching everything, Chino said that Laura could go with them to a nearby country, as long as she didn't give up hope that it was still possible to cure her drug addiction.

However, Laura unexpectedly refused directly.

The children of this tribe had already fled away like panicked birds and beasts because of the previous riots, and then all the adults died, so why did Laura stay here?Even if the possibility of recovering from drug addiction is very low, at least there is some hope. It is much better than staying here to slowly meet death!

"I want to be with her."

—Stay in this place where she was born but then took her life ruthlessly.

But it was just a simple sentence, which directly made Kino fall into silence. He couldn't help but look up at Laura's gray eyes, as if he could see that Laura really loved her very much, but he couldn't help but look at him. Mo Li with gray eyes no longer forced Laura to go with her.

Of course, Laura smiled lightly at this understanding.

"You look a lot like her."

Laura suddenly spit out something incomprehensible.

As a result, Kino's figure who was leaving originally paused for a while, and then he looked back at Laura, and responded in an unintelligible way: "You and Mo Li are also very similar, but it's just the similarity in eyes. "Kino said it so bluntly that Laura couldn't help but laugh.

"Didn't you ask me why I wanted to help you?"

Laura said casually.

"Now I answer you, because I think of my wife when I see you, thinking that instead of living like a walking dead, it's better to just settle everything..."

"I left her alone for a long time."

"She must want to see me too."

While talking, he laughed to himself, as if he was telling a very beautiful thing.

"I sure as hell don't look like her."

But Kino bluntly denied the possibility that he was very similar to another person. His plain black eyes met Laura's gray eyes, making Laura instantly understand what Kino meant, and she couldn't help but a little amusingly said that she knew it... That’s right, Kino must be different from her wife. After all, Kino’s performance proves that Kino will not choose to obey the arrangement of the tribe like her wife... If it was Kino, he would definitely resist the tribe and obey the tribe without hesitation. The tribe escaped, even though they knew that they had only ten days to live without tobacco.

"One last question."

After packing his luggage and pushing Hermis halfway, Kino suddenly turned around and began to ask Laura who was watching him and Moli leave together.

"If—I mean, if—Mo Li and I were really accidentally recruited to become members of this tribe, have they already decided to let Mo Li and me become a 'couple'?" Laura said. He smiled and nodded directly, making Chino thoughtful after receiving the answer.

"If it weren't for the fact that the people here are really sick, it sounds a bit good..."

"Hey! Don't tell me you, Kino, really want to stay in this tribe!"

Hermis, who didn't miss Kino's murmur, cried out in surprise and outraged, saying that Kino had gone too far, after all, staying here would only make him dismembered and buried in the ground, wouldn't he?This is tantamount to a death sentence for a motorcycle!

With some helplessness, Kino tapped Hermes' fuel tank with his hand.

Hermes is good at everything.

Just too much to make a fuss about.

"I didn't say that, although it sounds interesting to live in harmony with nature in the grasslands, and self-sufficient dairy products are delicious, but I don't want to get addicted to drugs, let alone be controlled by others using drug addiction " These words managed to make Hermes calm down a little bit, but it was a pity that Chino seemed to be deliberately molesting Hermes, but the next words that he continued to speak directly caused Hermes to riot again, "And well... I Even if I get married with Mo Li, I won't be able to have children, so wouldn't Mo Li be forced to die then? I don't want Mo Li to be treated like this."

Hey Hey hey--

It's a complete mistake to make complaints!
