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

Mo Li would be in such a difficult situation at this time.

After silently cleaning up all the leftovers from the food on the floor, the woman walked into the kitchen to wash her hands and dry her face, and then brought over two cups of hot tea, and Moli could clearly see that the part above her right eye was swollen. It was very powerful, and the blood at the corner of his mouth had already begun to solidify.

Volume 30 Kino's Journey: No.[-] Six Kingdoms, Kingdom of Two ([-])

But Kino didn't seem to see it at all, and thanked the woman softly without squinting.

And Mo Li was also embarrassed to keep staring at the injured place, lowering her head and nodding slightly as a gesture.

After that, the two of them took the hot tea together.

They did not mention what happened just now, and neither Chino nor Moli would look at the woman who was brutally abused by her husband through colored glasses.

"It's weird, isn't it?"

The woman spoke suddenly without warning.

Kino knew what she was referring to, glanced lightly at Moli next to him, pressed down Moli's hands that seemed to be about to raise the notepad, and replied calmly: "Yes, but it's actually nothing , After all, I saw a couple fighting openly on the road before, and the police officer told me not to go there to persuade the fight, but I understand the customs of this country."

"So that's how it is..."

The woman smiled helplessly after hearing this.

Hermis, who hadn't spoken much all this time, seemed unwilling to be lonely, and suddenly interrupted and asked, "Is this how couples in your country get along like this?"

"That's right, according to the customs and laws of our country, two people who love each other don't need to have any scruples when getting along, so apart from murder, doing anything to your spouse is not a crime, and outsiders who come to persuade the fight On the contrary, it will be regarded as meddling in other people's business, and even feel that this is maliciously hindering the normal communication of other couples."

What a loving two people don't need any scruples when getting along!

What a crime other than murder!

Not to mention Moli, even Kino felt speechless. I really don't know why this country has such a custom, and the scene fell into obsession because of it.

——That is to say, no matter how domestic violence is, it is considered the "interest" between husband and wife?

—It's terrible.

Of course, the woman knows that travelers must be very surprised why there is such a custom, but to her, there is nothing strange about it, after all, it has been like this since she was born, and people born in this country are also Such.Afterwards, when Hermis asked her directly why she married such a scumbag, the woman couldn't help but smiled bleakly, with a trace of self-mockery in her smile: "Yes...why would I marry him? In fact, marrying him He was not like this before, the first time I saw him on a blind date, I always thought he was an honest and charming man, so I was immediately fascinated."

"Blind date?"

Kino was not at all familiar with this new vocabulary, so he couldn't help blurting it out subconsciously, and a strange look appeared on his face.

But Mo Li knew when to go on a blind date, so she directly raised the notepad to answer instead of the woman——

"It is marriageable men and women who are introduced by a third party and meet each other"

"Yes, this is a traditional custom of our country." The woman seemed a little surprised why a puppet would know the traditional customs of this country, and she couldn't help but look at Moli more, but she was still explaining, "They will try to make both sides Two people with similar family environment and economic status will cooperate as couples, and then we will match them up for marriage.”

Ha ha--

If Mo Li knew what the woman was thinking, she would definitely sneer at her with disdain, after all, in the Great Heavenly Dynasty before crossing, almost everyone could not escape a blind date!

So of course she is all too familiar with the word blind date.

Although she is not yet an adult and has no relatives, she has never experienced a blind date.

However, there are so many blind date stories circulating on the Internet, Mo Li has never eaten pork, has he never seen a pig run away?

Then Chino also grasped the key points in the woman's description, and said involuntarily, "That is to say... it is possible to marry someone you don't like?"

"No, but in a sense it can be said that... In this country, people who are not married are not considered adults. Men have to build and protect families, and women have to raise their husbands and children at home. Good housework, everyone is very accustomed to this kind of family model where the man dominates the outside and the woman dominates the inside..." The woman couldn't help laughing bitterly, the laughter was full of bitterness, "so once everyone is over 25 years old, they will unconsciously start to worry I am deeply afraid that I will never be able to get married and be treated as an adult for the rest of my life, and at this time, the elders around me will also persuade you to go on a blind date."

really.

No matter in which world, as long as there is a blind date, you can't escape being forced to have a blind date.

Mo Li nodded silently with deep approval, and her sympathy for the woman in front of her became even stronger. After all, she met a scumbag from a garbage dump, didn't she?

"So, the so-called blind date is to choose a partner for marriage?" Hermis was a little puzzled, "Wait a minute, shouldn't marriage be the choice that two people who love each other want to spend the rest of their lives with each other? Don't you think the procedure and the purpose seem to be completely reversed?"

Gee.

I didn't expect that a mere motorcycle would know what marriage is.

It seems that this Hermes must have secretly thought about marrying a cute motorcycle lady.

The woman was slightly taken aback subconsciously, as if she hadn't thought that a motorcycle could say such reasonable words at all, but she finally came back to her senses and continued to say helplessly: "It seems so from what you said, but As long as the married life is happy in the end, the conclusion is the same, isn’t it? There are also some people who fall in love freely and then get married, but their married life is not necessarily happy, while some people who rely on blind dates to get married can still achieve happiness in the end... …These examples are countless, and my parents also got married through blind dates, so growing up in this environment, I will naturally use my parents as a model for life, dreaming that I will be like them in the future... "

"Presumably you are the same, traveler?"

While talking, the woman subconsciously shifted the topic to Kino. After all, as a human, Kino must understand her mentality better than a motorcycle.

"..."

However, what responded to her was Kino's silence for a while.

This provoked Moli to be quite helpless, and she said in her heart, which pot is not open and which pot to carry!After all, Kino’s native family is not normal, not to mention the country she was born in is a typical example of abnormality. Kino managed to get rid of his parents with great difficulty, but he didn’t expect that the woman on the opposite side would take it for granted that children should learn from their parents. .

- don't don't don't.

——Not all parents are good role models for their children, okay?

So Mo Li quickly raised the notepad to change the subject.

"But your husband is like that"

"Yes."

Of course the woman would not know that she had made a slip of the tongue. Following Mo Li's words, she smiled wryly uncontrollably, as if remembering something, and said softly, with a trace of nostalgia and a trace of melancholy: "Actually, before marriage, there is a Not long after we got married, he really respected me very much, so I didn't know that it would become like this... After being together for a long time, he became more and more rude to me, and I gradually felt that this The marriage has come to an end... No, maybe it was destined to end like this long ago? Once he saw some small dust left on the ground, he punched me directly, which shocked me a lot , I don’t know why it became like this, I was beaten by him like a puppet..."

The woman's voice was a little cold.

It seems that the person who suffered domestic violence in the story is not himself.

Eyes darkened.

"From now on, even if it is a little thing, he will be violent to me, and after drinking, he will intensify his violence, and his attacks will be even more severe. He either pushes me down the stairs or picks up a cigarette butt to burn me. The harsh winter just locked me out of the house all night."

With someone to confide in, women naturally start talking about their history of domestic violence.

For example, when she is seriously injured and can no longer fight, her husband will start to use other means, use cold violence, and even bluntly express in front of her friends that she has mental problems, and will not miss any opportunity to suppress her. , even if there is no violence, she will scold her at every turn - her husband has almost destroyed the things she brought when she married, and the cat she raised last year was dropped directly by her husband Lou, she had no choice but to send the poor kitten to euthanasia.Later, her husband was fined for cruelty to animals, but when he came back, he began to scold her for keeping that kind of thing and started punching and kicking her.

Anyway, there are thousands of reasons for beating people.

And the woman's eyes have already lost their luster when recalling these things.

It's like struggling in a quagmire but no matter how hard you struggle, you can't get out.

Afterwards she wanted to read some books, but her husband burned all of her books directly, scolding her and nagging at her, saying that a woman who has no talent is a virtue, there is no need for housewives to learn these things are useless knowledge!So she can only buy some cookbooks and some books on how to do housework, but unfortunately her husband still doesn't let her go, saying that she is stupid, buying these books is useless, just a waste of money, and then Throw away all the books she bought... After being married for so long, she doesn't even know how the family's finances are. She doesn't even know when the insurance on her body was terminated by her husband. She has almost no pocket money, because her husband Said that she was just a slave, as long as she kept her mouth shut and followed him obediently, no pocket money was needed at all.

The more Mo Li listened to it, the more she felt that this country is really incredible...

It is entirely conceivable that in this country where the law stipulates that you cannot intervene in couples' quarrels, this woman's experience of domestic violence will certainly not be the only one.

Possibly even everywhere.

Hermis seemed to be unable to listen any longer, and suddenly interrupted and asked her if she couldn't get a divorce?

Unexpectedly, the woman smiled miserably, and said helplessly: "This country regards divorce as a very shameful and completely unacceptable thing, so the government will not accept any application for divorce, unless one of the parties dies, otherwise the married life will be difficult." It goes on and on.”

Of course, Hermes was even more surprised by these words.

What a ghost country!

It's okay to allow couples to have domestic violence, but even divorce is not allowed?

"No way, this is the common perception of the society, and everyone thinks it is. It seemed that divorce was possible in the past, but those divorced people would be cast aside by others. They felt that such divorced people were not suitable for living in society, so the government wanted to eliminate them. This situation completely prohibits divorce.”

"Is that so..."

Kino sighed inexplicably, and then glanced at Moli. Even though Moli was expressionless, he could predict that Moli must be very moved.

But Kino was still pressing her hands to prevent her from easily lifting the notepad.

"I want to ask you one thing..."

The woman suddenly raised her bruised and swollen face, and looked at the indifferent Kino.

And Kino just looked at her quietly, and politely asked if there was anything he could do to help.

"Only you can do this, and I will never cause you any trouble! And I will try my best to thank you for your help, even if you want to take away all the valuables in this house afterwards, I will definitely I won't say no..." It's a pity that Chino still had a calm expression on his face, he was not moved by the woman's excited speech, and quietly waited for the woman to say the next words, "My request It has something to do with my husband... Please! Please use the persuader to kill him! Now he is sleeping upstairs, and I have the key to the bedroom, you just need to pull the trigger of the persuader!"

etc--

She, Chino, helped her kill her husband?

Mo Li was a little caught off guard, but when she came back to her senses, she felt that it was reasonable, after all, she couldn't get divorced, so it seemed that she could only kill her husband.

But is this really good?

Mo Li hesitated.

Hermis on the other side didn't know if he had expected that the woman would ask Kino to kill her husband, and he wasn't surprised at all. Instead, he followed the woman's pleading words and started booing: "Got it! We accept it!" ! Kino will definitely help you kill him cleanly!"

Before the woman could show a surprised expression, Kino kicked Hermes directly.

Like Mo Li kicking it.

Hermis kicked all kinds of whimpers, crying and complaining that Chino and Moli had failed in school!

Of course, Kino would not pay attention to Hermis's nonsense as if he was mentally retarded, but looked at the woman in front of him who didn't know what was going on and seemed unable to react, and corrected him very seriously: "I'm sorry, please ignore this guy's nonsense. Nonsense, please forgive me for not being able to help."

"Can't you really help?"

Probably because Kino didn't kick hard enough, Hermis was still whimpering, his tone sounded very frivolous.

"Of course not, this is murder."

Hearing what Kino said, Hermis couldn't help snorting: "How dare you say that! Obviously you have killed so many people! This sentence is not convincing at all, okay?"

Volume 30 Kino's Journey: No.[-] The Seven Kingdoms, The Kingdom of Two ([-])

The woman finally recovered.

Realizing that Kino's reluctance to help must be because he was worried that if he killed someone in this country, he would be punished by the law, so the woman became anxious, and interrupted when Kino and Hermes were about to start a new round of bickering, respectfully Said: "Regarding this point, please rest assured! Killing people here will not constitute a crime!" Seeing that Kino looked at her in surprise after hearing the words, the woman continued to explain, "Actually, this country stipulates that If a foreigner commits a crime here, as long as he leaves the country within one day, he will not be held criminally responsible."

"Why do you have so many strange regulations in this country!"

Hermes was really convinced.

Mo Li was even more powerless to complain, not only condoning such vile domestic violence between couples, but also allowing foreigners to kill people in the country...

What kind of law and order is this?

Those who praised the law and order here are very good, have they never seen a country with really good law and order?

And the woman was a little embarrassed to hear Hermis complaining like this: she silently explained: "Actually, the police used to hunt down criminals desperately, but in the end the criminals could not be arrested because they fled abroad. , this law was forced to come up with this law."

After speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at Kino, there was obviously a hint of pleading in his eyes.

"Therefore—travelers, it doesn't matter if you kill a few people in this country, you can leave the country smoothly tomorrow morning!"

It's a pity that Chino didn't agree as soon as the woman wished.

After being silent for a while, he suddenly asked, "Can I ask you a question?"

"Please say!"

The woman thought that there was still a turning point in the matter, so she quickly agreed.

"If you killed your husband because he couldn't stand the violence he did to you, what punishment would you receive?"

"Death penalty! Anyone who kills their spouse will be regarded as a first-degree murderer by the country!" The woman began to emphasize very cautiously as she spoke, "Even if the violence between husband and wife is normal and there is no problem with beating, but even This cannot be a reason to kill your spouse!"

absolutely...

Mo has absolutely nothing to say about this country.

No divorce, no sanction for domestic violence, and even killing your spouse at the cost of your own life. Does the victim of domestic violence have to endure the domestic violence until he dies naturally or is beaten to death?

No wonder this woman would now grab Kino and ask her to kill her husband.

……

It's a pity that Kino still didn't agree to the woman's request until the end. The woman showed an expression of disbelief because Kino refused her, and quickly stood up and grabbed Kino's sleeve, as if losing Kino's help this time would be forever As if I couldn't escape this domestic violence hell, I begged bitterly: "Why! Please! I have no other way! Please! You are my first and last chance! You are the one I have been waiting for. My only hope! Please promise me, please?" The pleading was so sincere and pious, as if he regarded Kino in front of him as the savior.

"Feel sorry."

Kino calmly pushed the woman away and grabbed her sleeve desperately.

"Thank you for the cookies, but I don't want to be a god."

After speaking, he directly kicked Hermes' tripod, without looking at the woman's instantly pale face, and rather ruthlessly pushed Hermes towards the entrance.
