22. I finally came to Zhishui City!

The girl walked in front with the wooden box on her back, and walked towards the station with Matou Shinji, her slender and attractive figure swayed in front of her, her soft and slender waist was outlined by a pure white yukata, and she was wearing a pair of fashionable feet on her feet. The small leather shoes, if not for a lot of dirt and dust on them, it should be a very beautiful shoe.

Haruta Yukino was about the same height as Matou Shinji, who was relatively tall in this era. His jet-black hair was fastened to the back of his head with a wooden hairpin, exposing his white neck.

Judging from her appearance, in addition to the regret on her chest, she is already considered a superb beauty in this era, but unfortunately there is no tenderness and tenderness in her eyes, but at this time she is as cold as steel, which is really a pity.

In another world, Matou Sakura suddenly felt an unknown sense of crisis in her heart.

...

The two walked out of the woods along the forest path, and Matou Shinji felt that there was an open space in front of him, and it was no longer the kind of gloomy and gloomy situation.

After walking along the edge of the forest for a while, under the leadership of Haruta Yukino, Matou Shinji came to the so-called "station", but there were neither license plates nor signs.

The only thing that can be said is that there are only a few buildings, and a fairly wide dirt road passes through them.

Among the few buildings, there is a restaurant and a hotel, but unfortunately they are all tattered and unreliable.

Haruda Yukino, who was wearing a white yukata, often let pedestrians focus on her. When Matou Shinji saw this, he simply walked directly in front of her, straightened his wide-brimmed top hat, and casually stroked the folds on the blue trench coat. A handsome gentleman!

Immediately, the eyes that paid attention to the two of them were much less.

Matou Shinji and Haruta Yukino sat on the tables and chairs at the entrance of the hotel, waiting for the carriage to arrive. At the same time, Matou Shinji added some rice balls as food for today's lunch at the hotel.

"How old is Xue Nai this year?"

The waiting process was really boring, Matou Shinji asked casually.

"I am fifteen years old."

"Fifteen! Really?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

"No, no, just a little surprised."

As for Haruta Yukino's age, Matou Shinji really didn't think about it. He thought that this guy was about the same age as him, but he didn't expect to be two years older than him.

After all, people in this era are generally not tall, and it is normal for Matou Shinji to make mistakes.

After waiting for almost an hour, the so-called manned carriage finally arrived.

"Sorry--!"

Two tall and mighty horses screamed and slowly stopped by the roadside under the control of the groom.

Looking at this kind of horse, Matou Shinji suddenly fell into self-doubt, how could such a tall horse appear in Japan at this time?

Then he shook his head suddenly, maybe because the world is different from the world, Matou Shinji didn't look at the two horses that were a little too mighty.

But when he looked at the carriage behind him, he stood there again. Although he said that he did not have any expectations for this era, nor did he have any high requirements, your open-air carriage is really a man. ?

For the pure wooden carriage, the rough burrs on the wood have not been polished at all, let alone painted, and the huge gaps between the wood and the wood have not been treated. The iron nails and belts just fix the boards together.

Only the tires gave Matou Shinji the only consolation. After all, they were rubber tires, not the so-called pure wooden wheels. Otherwise, I might be able to turn the overnight meal on the road!

"Get in the car? My car is very stable and will never roll over!"

The driver looked at the two and said proudly.

Matou Shinji looked at the car, but in the end he had no choice but to pay for the ride. There were not many passengers in the large open-air carriage, and the seat was a whole piece of wood, nailed directly to the carriage, with a low compartment wall behind it. It can be used as a backrest as well as an armrest.

Matou Shinji sat on the wooden board, put the suitcase at his feet, and the vehicle started to drive slowly. With the feeling of shaking, there was a passenger in a leather jacket opposite him, with some fur on his back, giving Matou Shinji a hand. A very strange sense of sight.

It always feels like someone will suddenly say something to himself: "Hey! You finally woke up, and you were about to cross the border, right? I didn't expect to fall into the ambush of the imperial army, and this little thief next to me."

Then start the process of grasping Genbao...

Cough cough! !

Matou Shinji shook his head suddenly, threw these hallucinations out of his mind, sighed, and sat quietly in the carriage, accompanied by the rickety carriage, and began a boring ride.

...

As the evening approached, the swaying carriage finally arrived at Zhishui City, and Matou Shinji and Haruda Yukino jumped out of the carriage.

"Comfortable!"

Quickly moving his body, Matou Shinji felt a little sore all over his body, and let out a cheerful cry to celebrate that he finally got out of the vehicle. To be honest, the riding experience was really bad.

Matou Shinji looked at the city ahead. With the arrival of night, various lights came on, and some cargo ships spitting black smoke were driving on the river next to it. As the core of the surrounding town, Zhishui City is a very prosperous city.

People come and go at night, and all kinds of vendors appear at night, and some neon lights start to shine, reflecting the surrounding area with colorful lights.

Matou Shinji took a deep breath, and then... suddenly began to cough. The air here is not good. With the convenience of the river, Zhishui City has many factories. In this era, we can't ask for any environmental protection .

After all...the sky full of smoke represents supreme prosperity - by the British Empire

Matou Shinji was just careless for a while, but he recovered quickly and walked towards the city with Haruda Yukino. The police here are full of energy, and the street lights are very bright, full of order and stability.

Yes!

Order and stability! Away from those messy troubles, Matou Shinji nodded earnestly, there were only twenty days left before he returned, and he didn't want to get involved in some incidents.

And his experience in Strange Dream told him that generally speaking, monsters are basically active in the countryside and villages of human beings, while the city is under the steady control of human beings, so staying in the town = equal to safety!

"Sir, please open your suitcase and let us take a look, we're going to check for contraband!"

Just as Matou Shinji was about to enter the city, he was stopped by several "very energetic" policemen, who asked Matou Shinji to open the suitcase and let them check.

"...Ok."

Matou Shinji reluctantly opened the suitcase. Anyway, the police couldn't see what was inside, so it didn't matter if they looked...

"I'm really sorry. There was a person missing in the city recently. We're a little impatient. There's nothing wrong with your things."

"Ok..."

Matou Shinji reluctantly closed his suitcase and took Chuntian Yukino into the city. He couldn't help but be a little puzzled. What were they searching for? They searched their suitcase, but not the wooden box on Chuntian Yukino's back. It's really good. strangeness...

Forget it, don't search for the wooden box to avoid your own quarrel.

Matou Shinji took Yukino to the ramen restaurant on the side of the road, and he was already hungry now.

...

In a huge and luxurious Japanese-style mansion in Zhishui City, the atmosphere at this time was extremely depressed. There were several people sitting in the hall, all of them wearing expensive clothes, and their faces were full of anxiety and resentment.

"What is that fellow Sanye Huaji doing! Why hasn't he come back now! How can we entertain that adult without a good and beautiful girl! He kept saying that he had to go in person, and she didn't come back after going there in person?"

One of them said angrily.

"What's the use of talking about this now, the adults are coming soon, we can't even prepare!"

The other person retorted calmly, but there was evil fire in his eyes, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with the three-leaf flower girl.

"No matter what happened, we must entertain that adult, pure and beautiful girl, and must have a refined temperament. This is a necessary condition. Now that so much time has been wasted, we can only settle for the next best thing. Don't be so demanding!"

"Yeah, although that lord seems to be very gentle, he is the most ruthless person in the twelfth crescent moon. Even if we can't please people, at least we can't make people dissatisfied! Everyone, hurry up and prepare, even if we do it. If something messes up, there's nothing you can do about it!"
