Radishes and grapes are both authentic Don horses.
The shoulder height of Radish is about 160cm.
The shoulder height of grapes is slightly shorter, about 150cm.
The two mares that Skulucci chose for Ogata and Atachi were both excellent horses that were docile, strong, and powerful.
How docile are Ogata's radishes and A-machi's grapes?
It is so docile that anyone can ride it.
Ogata didn't do anything to Radish, but Radish just lowered its head to Ogata docilely, letting Ogata get on and off its back, as if it had never had any "previous owner".
Grapes are as docile as radishes.
But even riding on such a docile horse, Ating still hasn't been able to control it to walk slowly.
"Let's do it again." Ogata said.
"Hmm..." Ating, who was sitting on Grape's horse, took a deep breath, then tapped Grape's belly with his heels.
Both Radish and Grape were well-trained war horses. After Ating tapped their bellies with his heels, they immediately trunked and then walked forward slowly, carrying Ating.
After Grape carried Ating forward, Ating immediately shook his body violently on the horse's back like a sailor on a ship facing a storm and swaying with the deck.
In order to keep her body stable, A-Ming immediately used her legs to clamp the saddle and the horse's belly under her buttocks.
"Don't squeeze your legs so tightly!" Ogata corrected him immediately, "If you squeeze your legs so tightly, the inside of your thighs will be rubbed painfully. If you rub them for a whole day, you will definitely bleed."
"But if I don't hold it tight, I'll fall!"
Xu Fang sighed helplessly.
Until now, Atachi still hasn't figured out "how much force should be used to clamp the saddle and the horse's belly so that they don't fall off."
Ogata was almost at his wit's end because of Atachi's stupid mother's stupid opening of the door - her stupid horse riding talent.
But he would not blame Ating out loud.
After all, everyone has his strengths and weaknesses.
Everyone has areas where they are not very talented, and areas where they are very talented.
"Let's take a break first." Ogata said, "We've been training for quite a while, let's take a break and have something to drink."
Hearing Ogata's words, Atachi immediately rolled off Grape's back as if she had been pardoned.
After his feet touched the ground, Ating felt the sense of freedom and relief as if he had gotten off the boat and landed on the ground.
A-Ming got seasick while riding the boat.
When riding a horse, I just can't get the knack of riding.
If Ah-Ming had not ridden in a carriage before and had never suffered from motion sickness, Ogata would have doubted whether Ah-Ming had no talent for riding in public transportation...
Ating led Grape to a big tree not far away, tied the reins to the trunk, and then sat down on a big rock next to it.
"I didn't expect riding a horse would be so hard..."
While muttering, Ating raised his hands and gently rubbed the skin on the inside of his thighs that was a little sore from being rubbed by the saddle.
"The nomadic people in Tangtu who live on horseback ride horses every day. Wouldn't they all have thick calluses on the inside of their thighs?"
“I don’t know.”
Atachi's question directly hit Ogata's blind spot in knowledge.
"You can ask Sculucci and the others," Ogata continued, "they are the ones who often ride horses."
After rubbing the burning flesh on the inside of her thigh with gentle force, Ating finally felt a little better.
Ating let out a long sigh, then looked up at the slightly cloudy sky above his head with a dazed expression.
"...What do you think we should do next?"
A-Ming asked this question out of the blue.
"Why are you asking this suddenly?" Ogata asked.
"There are no clues in Qina Village either." Ah-Cheng's face was filled with disappointment. "Where should we go to find Xuan Zheng and Xuan Zhen next?"
After helping the villagers of Qina Village to deal with the invading Cossacks and then temporarily staying in the village, Ogata and Atachi took advantage of every opportunity to ask all the villagers who could still speak properly and who had not been asked before whether they had seen Xuanzheng and Xuanzhen.
Just yesterday, they questioned the last person.
The end result is - nothing.
China Village was the last village that Ayakata could bring Ogata and his friends to.
Since there was nothing found in Qina Village, Ayaka couldn't help anymore. From now on, it would all depend on Ogata and the others to find other villages and try to find clues about Xuanzheng and Xuanzhen.
However, as soon as Atachi finished speaking, Obe suddenly showed a carefree smile.
"A-Ming, I feel like you've been showing negative emotions lately."
Ogata raised his hand and touched his left neck which was covered by the scarf.
"Is it because when he was bathing me earlier, he saw the skin on my left neck and felt that the 'immortal poison' in my body had begun to spread again, so his emotions were affected by it?"
Atachi did not answer Ogata's question and remained silent.
However, her silence was also a disguised answer.
"A-Ting, do you know a truth?"
"What truth?"
“If you worry about something happening, it’s more likely to happen.”
"What kind of truth is this?" Ating frowned, "Is there any basis for it?"
——The basis of this sentence is "Murphy's Law".
Ogata said silently in his heart.
Ogata had learned the concept of "Murphy's Law" from a book in his previous life.
Murphy's Law is a psychological effect, known as one of the three major discoveries of Western culture in the 20th century.
If the specific content were to be laid out in detail, it would take at least a thousand words.
In Murphy's Law, there is an important concept: if you worry about something happening, it is more likely to happen.
Ogata naturally would not explain the details of "Murphy's Law" to Atachi in detail, so he just made up a lie:
"I heard this from a monk who looked like a great monk when I first escaped from the feudal domain. I think this sentence makes sense, so I have always remembered it."
"A-Ming, don't you think this makes sense?"
"Think carefully about your past - hasn't something similar happened to you before? Always worrying about something, and then that thing really happened in the future."
"No." Ating opened her big innocent eyes and shook her head.
Ogata: “…”
I can't continue the conversation.
Atachi's words "No" made Ogata at a loss as to how to continue the conversation.
After coughing a few times to cover up his embarrassment, Ogata said seriously:
"In short - you don't have to worry about the future all the time."
"There will always be a way."
"As for where we should go to look for clues about Xuanzheng, Xuanzhen and the others - this is actually very easy to do."
"Since Ayaka and the others can't help us, we can ask the people from Qina Village for help."
“The Qina Village should have a different social circle from the Kuma Village.”
“We can ask the villagers of Qina Village to help take us to the villages we have not been to before.”
"If we ask them for help, they will definitely not refuse us."
"As long as you keep looking for clues step by step, you might meet someone who has clues about Xuan Zheng and Xuan Zhen the next day."
Although Ogata spent a lot of time trying to comfort Atachi, and Atachi tried hard to force a smile in response, there was still a hint of sadness in the depths of her eyes that had not dissipated.
Seeing that Atachi still didn't seem to be in high spirits, Ogata fell silent again.
After a long silence.
Ogata suddenly reached into his arms and pulled out a pistol.
A gun that is completely different from Kasumigaseki's.
A large-caliber flintlock pistol with a large red spot on the barrel.
"A-Ming, since we have nothing to do right now, how about we practice using this new gun together?"
Upon hearing Ogata's words, Atachi's eyes immediately lit up.
"Now?"
"Well, we are just sitting and resting now. As for the new gun training, we can practice it whether we are sitting or standing."
"OK!"
A-Machi also pulled out a large-caliber flintlock pistol of the same model as Ogata's from his arms.
…
…
At this moment——
Chepke and several high-ranking people in their Qina village sat cross-legged on the ground.
Their eyes were now focused on a middle-aged man who was also sitting cross-legged in front of them and facing them.
The middle-aged man had a thick beard that reached down to his chest.
The beard was combed neatly and had a beautiful black sheen. One could tell at a glance that it was well cared for.
The bearded man folded his arms over his chest, looking thoughtful.
Chepke and his men are now in a place called "Heyezhe" by the Ainu people and "Red Moon Fortress" by the Japanese.
This middle-aged man with a big beard is named Chanup.
He is the highest authority in Heyezhe, the one in charge of the entire Heyezhe.
After several days of trekking by dog ​​sled, Chepke and his companions successfully arrived in Heyezhe.
Chepke and Çanup had a pretty good personal relationship, so both the meeting and the subsequent talks went quite smoothly.
Just now, Chepke had explained to Chanup the purpose of their visit.
After hearing Chepke's purpose, Chanup clasped his hands across his chest, as if thinking, just like he is doing now.
After a long while, he finally broke the silence by speaking:
"…I know the specific reasons."
“It’s not easy for you guys either.”
Chanup sighed heavily.
"We were attacked by white people..."
"I have also heard a little about the bad reputation of white people."
“Although there are some pretty good people among the white people.”
"But there are also quite a few bastards who don't deserve to die."
"I heard that in the north, many villages have been attacked by white people."
"Luckily you met a skilled Japanese man and a white man with a good heart."
A faint smile appeared on Chanup's face.
"I'd like to see what that Japanese man looks like, who has such amazing skills and can fight more than 30 white people by himself."
"... Chanup, to be honest, I have something I want to discuss with you regarding this person."
"Hmm? What's up?"
"That man has done a great favor to our village, and I want to repay that kindness as best we can."
"That Kazuto and his wife are currently looking for two more Kazuto."
"So I have a request..."
…
…
A few days later——
Somewhere a little distance from Qina Village—
"The deer seems to be motionless." Ogata whispered to Atachi beside him.
"Yeah." Atachi, who was lying next to Ogata, licked his lips and said softly, "But it's meaningless to shoot at a 'fixed target' that doesn't move. I still hope that the deer can move."
"Ayi. Use Meiran to shoot that deer."
"Isn't it possible for Mei Ran to hit it that far?"
"I'm not asking you to shoot the deer, I'm asking you to scare the deer so it runs away."
"You want to shoot at a 'moving target'?" Ogata asked.
"Yes. Shooting at moving targets will help me improve my marksmanship. You can also practice using Meizen."
"All right."
After saying that, Ogata pulled out a flintlock pistol with a large red spot on the barrel from his arms.
This is Ogata’s new pistol - Umezen.
This gun was naturally the one seized from Vladimir and his men.
When the seized weapons were counted afterwards, only two flintlock pistols were found.
Although the number is a little less, it is just enough for Ating and each of them.
Ogata had already reached an agreement with the village chief of Chepke, and he and Ating were allowed to take the pistols. As for the long-handled muskets, they only took five Kentucky long rifles and only led two horses.
So after counting all the seized weapons, Ogata openly put the weapons that had been agreed to be taken away into his pocket.
Skulucci not only helped Ogata and his friends choose horses, but also helped them choose weapons.
He helped Ogata and his team pick out five of the best Kentucky long rifles.
He also taught Ogata and the others how to operate the Kentucky long rifle and the two flintlock pistols that were collected.
According to Sculucci, these two flintlock pistols are both American guns - M1775 flintlock pistols with a caliber of 15.7 mm.
As the name suggests, this gun was developed in 1775 and is considered one of the latest pistols today.
This pistol played as prominent a role in the American War of Independence as the Kentucky long rifle.
Because of the good performance of this pistol, the Cossacks began to introduce and purchase this pistol in recent years.
However, because pistols are more of a self-defense weapon and their role on the battlefield is not as great as that of long-handled rifles, the Cossacks only introduced them on a small scale.
At present, only a very small number of officers among the Cossacks are qualified and able to be equipped with such pistols.
Skulucci himself had this pistol, and none of his subordinates, including Vasily, were qualified to be equipped with the M1775 flintlock pistol.
Therefore, Skulucci dared to conclude that the two guns confiscated by Ogata and his team were definitely found from two people of relatively high status.
And in fact, this is indeed the case. The two guns were found from Vladimir and Alexei.
That night, among the group of people who attacked Qina Village, only these two were qualified to be equipped with this pistol.
However, Ogata did not know Vladimir and Alexi, and he did not care whose body the pistol was found from. He only cared whether the pistol was easy to use.
There were two pistols collected, so Ogata and Atachi each got one, and both of them transformed into "Two-gun Swordsman" and "Two-gun Ninja".
This new pistol, like their new horse, will most likely accompany them for quite some time.
If we keep calling it a "pistol" or "M1775 flintlock pistol", it would be too boring.
In order to make it easier to "accompany" the pistol in the future, Ogata and Atachi each gave their newly acquired pistols a name.
Just like he named his newly acquired horse "Grape" based on the color of its fur, A-Ming also named his pistol based on the color of its pistol.
The pistol of Atachi was dark red all over, so Atachi named her pistol "Feiying".
The reason why it was named "Ying" was to pair it with her "Su Ying".
The new name that Ogata gave to his new gun was more elegant, not as simple and crude as Atachi.
Ogata's new gun is also dark red.
But there is a large bright red spot on its barrel.
Ogata guessed that this was probably because the "original owner" of the gun had accidentally stained the barrel with red paint at some point in the past that could not be washed off.
Ogata named his new gun based on the bright red spot on the barrel.
He named his new gun "Mei Ran".
Because this red dot on the barrel looks like a plum blossom falling on the ground.
Umezen and Hiyanagi are very different from Kasumigahara and Suzaku.
The styles of Kasumiganagi and Motozakura are very similar to the modern revolvers in the previous life.
The loading method is to open the revolver and then directly fill the ammunition into it. The loading method is very convenient and 4 bullets can be fired at a time.
Meiren and Feiying used flintlock pistols, and the way to load them was to push the bullet into the muzzle, use the ramrod to push the bullet to the innermost part, and then pour gunpowder into it.
Not only is loading difficult, but you can only load one round at a time.
However, Meiren and Feiying are better than Kasumi and Suying in one aspect.
That's the power.
The first time Ogata tried to shoot Umezen, he shot at a tree.
Just one blow left a small hole the size of a fist on the trunk of the tree.
In terms of the power of a single shot, it is far superior to Motoya and Kasumi.
Skulucci had told Ogata and Atachi that as long as the distance was not too far, the M1775 flintlock pistol was fully capable of penetrating armor.
Motozakura and Kasumi are easy to load and can fire continuously.
It is extremely inconvenient for Feiying and Meiran to shoot, but the power is very strong. Even if the enemy is wearing armor, as long as they are not too far away, they can still give a fatal blow.
One is good at firing rate, the other is good at power. Both guns have their own strengths and weaknesses.
During this period, in addition to continuously training Atachi in horse riding, Ogata also practiced using these new weapons with Atachi.
At this moment, A-Ming was practicing using the Kentucky long rifle.
Compared to practicing on inanimate objects, practicing on living things is definitely more effective.
The objects of Ating's practice during this period were the wild animals in the mountains.
The most common wild animal is the deer.
It is afternoon now.
In the morning, Ogata accompanied Atachi to practice horse riding.
After Ogata's relentless training, Atachi is now finally able to sit steadily on the horse's back and walk slowly on the horse.
After teaching A-Ming how to ride a horse in the morning, Ogata accompanied A-Ming into the mountains to practice shooting this afternoon.
Just now, the two of them discovered a lone deer a hundred meters away.
After discovering the deer, Ating laid down on the ground without paying any attention to the cold snow, and placed the Kentucky long rifle, which had already been loaded with bullets, on a huge rock in front of him.
Then Yu just now proposed to Ogata, "Let Ogata use plum dye to scare the deer, and let Ogata practice and get used to the use of plum dye."
They confiscated a lot of special bullets for Umezen, Hiyakura and Kentucky long rifles, more than enough for Ogata and his men to use some of them for practice.
Ogata agreed to Atachi's suggestion, quickly took out his plum brush from his arms and aimed it at the deer.
He wasn't worried about whether his gun would hit the deer.
He also frequently practiced using plum dye during this period.
He now has an idea of ​​Mei Ran's effective shooting range - unless he reaches the "selfless state", with his shooting level, whether he can accurately hit the target 10 meters away depends entirely on luck.
The deer was a hundred meters away from them, and it was impossible for Mei Ran to hit a target that far away.
Ogata raised the muzzle of the gun slightly, aimed the crosshairs of Meizen at a position slightly higher than the deer, and then pulled the trigger.
A gunshot much louder than those of Su Ying and Kasumi was heard.
Bang!
The bullet hit a big tree about 40 meters away from the deer, leaving a big hole in the trunk of the tree.
The frightened deer spread out its four hooves and started running wildly.
At the same moment the deer started running, Ating quickly moved the muzzle of the gun so that it moved with the deer.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out, louder than Mei Ran's.
Ah-Ming pulled the trigger.
The deer fell to the ground.
"call……"
After seeing the deer fall to the ground, Ating let out a long sigh and slowly got up from the ground.
After getting up from the ground, Ating took off the bamboo tube hanging around his waist, opened the mouth of the bamboo tube, and then poured the liquid in the bamboo tube into his mouth.
This is the strong liquor that Ogata and A-machi bought in the Tohoku region before coming to Ezo.
They knew that Ezo was an extremely cold place, so they bought some extra strong liquor that could effectively keep out the cold.
He took a big gulp of the liquor, which made his entire mouth and throat feel hot. The liquor flowed down his mouth into his esophagus, and then from his esophagus to his stomach, making Ating feel his entire stomach was warm.
"In such a cold winter, we really need to drink this kind of warm wine." A-Ming showed a satisfied smile, and then took another big gulp of the liquor.
The chill that had infected Atachi from lying in the snow for so long was instantly dispelled.
Compared to bitter and astringent wines, Ating prefers these wines that feel hot when they enter the throat.
"You seem to be getting more and more comfortable with this gun." Ogata praised Atachi softly.
Hearing Ogata's praise, Atachi subconsciously puffed out her chest with a hint of joy, satisfaction, and pride.
If I say——A-Ming is like this when she is practicing horse riding: o(╥﹏╥)o
Then——this is how Atachi practiced her marksmanship:╰(*°▽°*)╯
The difference between Ating's talents in horse riding and marksmanship is simply huge.
When she first started practicing with the Kentucky long rifle, her ability to hit the target accurately depended on intuition and luck.
Now, Ating can even hit a running deer a hundred meters away.
After praising Atachi's marksmanship, Ogata pulled out the ramrod inserted under the barrel of Meizen's gun and began to reload Meizen's gun.
In this era of muzzle-loading guns where the bullets need to be stuffed into the barrel, there are several small holes on the bottom of the barrel that are lined up along the barrel.
The push rod specially used to push bullets into the barrel can be installed under the barrel along these small holes, making it very convenient to carry.
Ogata skillfully took out a new bullet and put it into the barrel, poured in gunpowder, and then used the ramrod to compact the bullet and gunpowder.
Looking at Ogata's skilled movements, A-Machi said to him in a praising tone:
"You've become very skilled at reloading now."
Ogata has been practicing the use of Umezen frequently these days, so his proficiency in loading Umezen is also increasing rapidly.
At this time, Ating also pulled out the ramrod hanging under the barrel of the Kentucky long rifle and began to load bullets into the gun in his hand.
Always keep your gun loaded and ready to fire - this is a good habit that Ogata and Atachi have always maintained.
As they loaded their guns, A-Machi casually said to Ogata:
"Firearms are really becoming more and more advanced nowadays...Now even such powerful muskets have appeared in Europe."
A-Ming looked at the Kentucky long rifle in his hand with complicated eyes.
"In a few years, I wonder what new firearms the European firearms craftsmen will come up with."
"Once more powerful firearms come out, I feel like there won't be a need for samurai swords on the battlefield anymore..."
"It's hard to imagine what it would be like when our country no longer needs samurai swords."
Omachi, who was used to seeing samurai wearing swords on their waists, found it hard to imagine what the scene would be like if samurai no longer wore swords.
"That day will probably come soon," Ogata said. "Perhaps in our lifetime, we will see the day when the samurai sword is no longer needed and becomes history."
Although Ogata did not know much about Japanese history in his previous life, he still knew some major events in Japanese history.
If Ogata remembers correctly, about 60 or 70 years later, in the middle of the 19th century, American Commodore Perry would lead the naval fleet to blast open the door of Japan, and then Japan's Meiji Restoration activists launched the "Anti-Shogunate War", overthrew the Tokugawa family, overthrew the Edo Shogunate, and started the "Meiji Restoration".
Not long after the start of the Meiji Restoration, the new Meiji government issued the "Sword Ban Order", abolishing the samurai's right to wear swords and depriving the samurai of the swords they wore at their waists.
If Ogata and Atachi lived long enough, they might have seen the samurai's swords being broken.
However, by the time we can see that time, Ogata, Atachi and others will be almost 90 years old or nearly 100 years old.
"If such a day really comes... it's really hard to imagine... the scene where samurai no longer carry swords..." said Atachi.
After a brief chat, the two men put away their weapons which were already loaded with bullets and walked towards the deer that Ating had just killed.
The deer had been shot in the belly and was already dead when Ogata and Atachi approached it.
"A-Ming, come and help," Ogata said, "let's move this deer to Radish."
"Yeah, okay."
During this period, all the animals that Ating killed for practicing shooting would be moved back to Qina Village and given to the villagers.
No matter how much meat you give them, they always find a way to digest it.
Either eat it directly or make it into jerky.
At first, when Ogata gave the prey they had killed to the villagers of China Village, they were flattered and refused to accept them.
It was not until Ogata had almost worn out his lips that the villagers of Qina Village finally agreed to accept the prey that Ogata and his friends sent.
Ogata and Atachi first bled the deer. After draining all the blood from its body, Ogata grabbed the deer's four hooves and carried the deer to his carrot.
This time, when accompanying Ating into the mountains to practice shooting, Ogata brought his newly acquired horse, Radish.
The purpose is to make it easier to bring back the hunted prey.
Although Luobo is a mare, she has very beautiful and powerful muscles, and carrying a deer is a piece of cake for her.
Ogata tied the deer to Luobo's horse.
"Where are we going next?" Ogata asked.
"Let's go east next." A-Ting said, "I think I saw a deer going east just now. Let's go look for that deer."
"Okay, let's go." Ogata nodded, then untied the reins tied to the tree trunk, led Radish, and followed Ating to the east.
"There are so many deer in Ezo." Ogata casually chatted with Atachi.
"Yes." Atachi said, "I now understand why the Ainu people still live a life of fishing and hunting. There are so many prey in the mountains, so they don't have to worry about food at all."
While chatting, the two of them finally discovered the deer that Ating had just mentioned.
It was a deer that looked very young. It had its back to Ogata and the others and was eating the grass on the ground with its head lowered.
After discovering the deer, Ogata and Atachi immediately bent down, lowered their center of gravity, and moved closer to the deer little by little.
Both of them used the "Shiranui-style Stealth Technique" and moved closer to the deer in steps that made little sound.
A-Machi was even more amazing—she also used the "Shiranui-style Breath Holding Technique" to reduce her own aura.
As he approached the deer, Atachi whispered to Ogata:
"I'll leave this deer to you."
Ogata, who had been trying hard to learn how to use the new gun recently, nodded slightly without refusing.
After getting about 20 meters away from the deer, the two stopped because they thought that if they got any closer, the deer might discover them.
The two of them were lying prone in a dense bush.
Ogata took out Umezen.
"It's actually wrong to point the muzzle of the gun straight at the target." Atachi gently reminded Ogata, "The bullet will not fly straight all the time. After flying to a certain distance, it will fall in an arc. So you have to learn to judge when the bullet will fall."
"I don't think I need to practice my shooting skills to the point where I can tell when the bullet will land..." After complaining with a wry smile, Ogata pointed the muzzle of Meizen's gun at Toruka.
A distance of 20 meters - at this distance, Ogata cannot guarantee that he will always hit the target.
At this moment, the deer suddenly turned around.
From originally facing away from Ogata and the others, he now faced sideways towards Ogata and Atachi.
Fortunately, it still didn't notice the two hunters who were targeting it. On the contrary, because it was facing sideways, it was easier for Ogata to aim, and the flank of the deer was clearly visible.
His physical functions had been raised to a very high level, making Umezen's weight insignificant to Ogata, and he wouldn't have hand tremors from holding the gun for too long.
Keep your sights on the deer and take a deep breath.
Then pull the trigger.
Bang!
“Woo woo…”
The next moment after the gunshot, the deer screamed softly a few times, staggered forward a few steps, and then fell heavily to the ground.
"You hit it, you hit its neck." Atachi, who had amazing eyesight, reported to Ogata, "Meiren, you are using it very well now."
"The problem is that I was clearly aiming at its belly..." Ogata said silently, "It seems that using Meizen to hit a target 20 meters away is too difficult... For a target more than 10 meters away, whether you can hit it depends entirely on luck."
Just as Ogata and Atachi were about to climb out of the bushes to check on the prey they had just shot, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded in the distance.
At the same time as the footsteps appeared, a familiar voice was also heard.
"Mashima! Omachi! Majima! Omachi"
"Aiyaka?" Ogata turned his head towards the voice.
The owner of this voice is undoubtedly Ayaka.
The day after the "Cossack raid," Ayaka returned quickly to their village of Kuma on a dog sled.
That night, he brought the doctor back from their Kuma village.
Since returning to Qina Village, he has been living in Qina Village during this period of time.
After all, it was he who brought the doctor from their village here. He couldn't just leave the doctor in Qina Village and ride the sled back to the village by himself.
Although the doctor from their village brought by Ayaka did not play any role.
The doctors under Skulucci were mainly responsible for the treatment.
Ever since Skulucci promised to send his doctors to help the injured villagers in Qina Village, the doctors in Qina Village and the doctors from other villages who came to help have all become assistants.
After hearing Aiyaka's voice, Ogata and Atachi immediately came out of the bushes and headed towards the source of the voice.
Soon, they saw Ayaka.
"Mashima, Atachi. I finally found you!"
"Aiyaka," Ogata said, "Why are you here? What's going on?"
"Of course I came to see you." Ayaka said, "Come with me back to Qina Village. Village Chief Chepke and his men are back."
"It seems that Chief Chepke has something urgent to tell you, and he is looking for you everywhere."
