I think that on the other side of the sea are mountains of flowers and mountains of gold, but I don’t know that there are also all kinds of unhappiness on the other side of the sea.

As soon as Chanup finished speaking, the surprised Xuefang immediately asked urgently:

"Kill him? Haven't you still determined whether he is a spy?"

"It is true that there is no direct evidence to prove that he is a spy." Chanup said slowly, "But similarly - there is no direct evidence to prove that he is not a spy, but an ordinary person."

"Some people think that it would be better to kill him by mistake than to let him go, so they propose to kill the old man directly without further investigation."

"And there are quite a few such people."

Having said this, Chanup took another puff of cigarette.

"And I personally don't agree with taking that old man's life so hastily."

"If you can prove that the old man is innocent and not a spy, then I will naturally welcome you."

"But it's better to go faster."

"There are so many people who suggest taking the old man's life directly that I can't ignore them."

"If it takes too long..."

After Chanup said this, he did not continue to say anything. He only showed a helpless smile and shrugged.

…

…

More than an hour later——

It's dinner time now.

Ogata and Omachi sat around a pot.

Today's dinner is being cooked in the pot.

Ogata and the others had their dinner in the open air tonight. They set up a pot and cooked their dinner directly under the sky.

Ogata and the others naturally stayed with the villagers of Qina Village.

Although after negotiating with Chepke about moving to the village and moving in, in order to welcome the arrival of the villagers of Qina Village, Chanup organized people to build houses for the villagers of Qina Village.

However, because the villagers of Qina Village arrived at the Red Moon Fortress much earlier than Chanup and the others expected, only a small part of the houses have been successfully built.

These houses that have been built are given priority to accommodate the old, weak, women and children in the village. The young and middle-aged people in the village who are still in good health will continue to live a life where the ground is their bed and the sky is their quilt.

Chepke once offered to give one of the already built houses to Ogata and Atachi, who were kind to them, but Ogata refused.

My wife and I have long been accustomed to sleeping in a place without a ceiling. Let’s leave this built house to other people in need. This is what Ogata said when he rejected Chepke’s kindness.

.

Because there are still many people in Qina Village who have to live a camping life for a period of time, so when it is already dinner time, Ogata and Amachi are surrounded by the villagers of Qina Village, all in the sky

They set up a pot and cooked their own dinner for tonight.

"...It's hard to fix it now."

While Ogata and A-Machi were silently waiting for the dinner in the pot to be cooked, A-Machi suddenly said something cold.

"Many people want to take Lin Ziping's life... If we don't prove his innocence soon, he will have his head moved."

"Ah, speaking of which - what are the punishments of the Ainu people? Will they be beheaded?"

"Don't pay attention to these weird places..." After complaining about Atachi, Ogata took a deep breath, "Take it step by step slowly. Let's have a good dinner now, and the rest will wait.

We’ll talk about it later. Is dinner ready?”

The two of them are currently cooking wild vegetable soup.

These wild vegetables were picked by the two of them on their way to the Red Moon Fortress with the villagers of Qina Village.

During this time, I ate meat every meal until Ogata and Omachi felt a little tired of it.

In order to spice up their taste, the two decided to eat a very Japanese-style wild vegetable soup tonight.

A-Machi opened the lid of the pot, checked the status of the food in the pot, and then put the lid back on.

"It's not ready yet, you have to wait a little longer."

After putting the lid back on, Atachi let out a sigh of relief.

"...It's so embarrassing." Amachi smiled with a bit of embarrassment, "Do we two have to eat in front of such a crowd..."

"...I guess so." Ogata also smiled awkwardly, then turned his head and looked to the side of them not far away.

On the side of Ogata, Amachi and the others, there were a large number of residents of the Red Moon Fortress who were watching them.

Because Ogata and the others eat outdoors, these residents can "visit" Ogata and Amachi very conveniently.

These onlookers not only made Ogata and the others feel uncomfortable, but also made the villagers of Qina Village who were having dinner outdoors next to Ogata and others also feel embarrassed.

Although some onlookers realized that what they did caused trouble to others and left voluntarily.

But there were still many people who stayed where they were, looking curiously at Ogata and Omachi, who were no different from cherished animals in their eyes.

Neither approaching nor leaving.

The villages that Ogata and the others had interacted with before, whether it was Kuma Village or China Village, were all "affiliated villages" that had close ties with Kazuto and exchanged information with Kazuto. They were all used to this.

They knew Kazuto's appearance, and were used to Kazuto's and their clothes, which seemed strange to them.

But the residents of Red Moon Fortress are different.

Many residents of Red Moon Fortress have never seen Kazuto since they were born.

Omachi is okay, except for wearing strange clothes, not having tattoos on his face, his facial features are different from those of the Ainu people, and his figure is plumper than ordinary people, there are no other big differences.

But Ogata is different.

Not only the facial features and clothing are different, but there is no beard on the face, and the hairstyle on the head is very strange.

Ogata's hairstyle of not shaving Tsukiyo, but only wearing a bun, can be said to be "not a human being inside and outside" in this era.

In Japanese society, they will be regarded as non-mainstream.

In Ainu society, it is regarded as a weird "killer".

Many places from head to toe of Ogata and Amachi aroused countless curiosity among these people.

Amachi didn't like being watched like a cherished animal, and Ogata didn't like it either.

Just when Ogata was thinking about how to drive away these people who were still standing not far away to watch them, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind him:

"Mr. Majima, Miss Atachi, we finally found you."

It's Esuma's voice.

"Hmm? Esuma?" Ogata looked at Esuma who was walking towards him and Atachi from behind with a hint of surprise.

Esuma is not alone.

Her younger brother, Otunpuyi, stuck closely behind Aisuma.

Otunpuyi, who lowered his head and followed closely behind Aisuma, raised his eyes from time to time and cast excited and expectant glances at Ogata.

Ogata was quite impressed by this Otonpui.

Because when they first met before, Otonpui looked at him with excitement - Ogata had always been puzzled by this.

Ogata and the others just left Chanup and Aisuma's home more than an hour ago.

Ogata cast a puzzled look at the Aisuma siblings who reunited so soon: "Why are you here?"

"I originally wanted to take advantage of the good weather tonight to take my brother to practice archery." Aisuma raised her hand with a wry smile and rubbed Otunpuyi's head, "It's just that he made a fuss and said he wanted to

He came to see you, so I can only bring him to you."

"Want to see me?" Ogata turned his doubtful gaze to Otonpui.

Otonpuyi's eyes were full of excitement and excitement - this look was very familiar to Ogata.

He used to see him often in his apprentice, Kondo Uchizo Sukena.

"Oh... I expected that many people who had never met Kazuto would come to join in the fun, but I didn't expect that there would be so many people..." Esuma directed the crowd not far away to "watch" Ogata and Kazuto.

The people of Amachi murmured.

Then, Aisuma strode towards the onlookers.

After she said something to the onlookers in the Ainu language that Ogata could not understand, the onlookers all showed expressions of regret, disappointment, etc.

They showed such expressions and dispersed one after another. After a while, the onlookers who were originally watching Ogata and the two dispersed and disappeared from Ogata's field of vision.

"Okay." Isuma, with a confident smile on her face, strode back to Ogata and the others, "I'll help you drive away these rude people."

"What did you say to those people?" Amachi asked in surprise and a bit of joy.

Without those people watching, A-Machi instantly felt much more at ease.
