I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Ogata muttered in his heart.

Aiyaka also noticed the abnormality at the entrance of Qina Village. After frowning, he drove the sled dogs to slightly increase the speed that had already come down.

After approaching the entrance of Kina Village, Ogata and the others finally saw what was going on.

It turned out that there were two waves of people confronting each other there.

A group of Cossacks with fair skin and deep eyes.

And a group of Ainu people - they are probably the villagers of Kina Village.

The two groups faced each other like this, as if they were arguing about something.

After the three of Ogata appeared not far away, they naturally attracted the attention of the two groups of people.

The 2 gangs turned their heads to look at the Ogata 3 who were approaching slowly on a dog sled.

It wasn't until this moment that Ogata and the others saw that standing at the forefront of the group of Cossacks was a young man with bright red hair.

After seeing the bright red hair and the face of the red-haired youth, Aiyaka exclaimed:

"Scruucci?"

"Huh? Aiyaka?" The red-haired youth's face was as surprised as Aiyaka's.

……

……

a few days ago—

"As long as you join the group, there will no longer be any indigenous settlements that will be our opponents."

"How? Do you want to come together?"

Vladimir's mouth stinks.

Because he put his lips close to Skulucci's ear, Skulucci could smell the smell of a dead mouse that had been left for half a month very clearly.

But Scruucci still maintained a very gentlemanly smile.

Then--

"Vladimir, you are right. Robbing other people's property, wives and daughters is indeed very fun."

"It's more enjoyable to abuse the wives and daughters of those women in front of their husbands and fathers."

Hearing this, Vladimir beamed with joy.

But the happy look on his face only lasted for a short while.

Because what Skulucci said immediately made the expression on his face freeze.

"But you'd better find someone else. I don't really want to be part of your 'fun'."

"Why?" Vladimir frowned, "Can you tell me a reason?"

"Hmm..." Skulucci looked at the sky above his head and murmured, "Is there a reason... probably because I want to spend the Maslenitsa quietly."

"...Skulucci, you really are still so weird." Vladimir slowly put away the expression on his face that was frozen just now.

"I thought that after exploring the far east for so long, it would change your mood a little, and you would no longer stick to those inexplicable morals like before."

"Forget it, it's fine if you don't participate."

After finishing speaking, Vladimir seemed too lazy to talk to Skulucci any more, shook the cloak he was wearing, and turned around to leave.

Skulucci also stopped talking to Vladimir, and returned to the camp where Skulucci and his subordinates had set up one after the other.

Vladimir, who didn't say another word, sat back directly on the back of his horse, and then led his subordinates away.

After Vladimir left, the young man with freckles who helped everyone catch 6 fat rabbits just now—that is, Afjah hurried to Skulucci's side, and asked Skulucci carefully :

"Boss Skulucci, what did you talk to that man just now?"

"It's just chatting about some boring things with that pig-dog hybrid, the idiot in front of the emperor, the idiot who loved to eat shit and raised such a stinky mouth since he was a child."

Scruucci clutched his chest, gagging.

"My god, that guy who grew up with a goat has such a fucking stinky mouth, why is his mouth so stinky...I've never washed my ass in a year, it smells better than his stinky mouth."

"It's a pity that Vasili and the others are not here."

"If Lao Tzu's other subordinates are here. You can try to kill that idiot and his subordinates. Use their supplies to have a good Thanksgiving."

"Boss, you're joking again." Afjay said with a smile, "Why are we attacking that group of people when we have nothing to do?"

Scruucci didn't answer Afjay's question, but only smiled meaningfully at him, then lay back in his hammock, and picked up the "Don Quixote".

"Okay! They're gone! Put your guns away! What to do!"

Seeing that Skulucci had spoken so freely, his subordinates put away their weapons one after another, and returned to their respective positions, doing their own things.

The splitting of the splitting wood.

Burning fire burning fire.

A pan for a pan.

Handling rabbits handling rabbits.

"Boss Skulucci." Afjay, who was sitting next to Skulucci and was skinning the rabbit, said to Skulucci, "It's almost Maslenitsa, it seems that we are in a foreign country This is the 4th Maslenitsa. When do you think we can go back to China?"

"God knows." Scruzzi, who was holding the "Don Quixote" and watching there, shrugged, "Maybe after a while, we will receive an order to recall, after all, there are people in France. Big change."

"In order to deal with various possible changes, the tsar may recall us who are exploring in the Far East later to strengthen the country's military power."

"France?" Afjay raised his eyebrows, "Oh, are you referring to the revolution that is breaking out in France?"

In the middle of 1790 last year, they in the Far East received great news from far away Europe—in the summer of 1789, the people of France captured the Bastille, and a vigorous revolution broke out in France.

"It's already 1791." Afjay continued, "Maybe the revolution in France has been quelled?"

"This kind of thing is really hard to say." Scruzzi smiled, "It is also possible that the revolution is still happening now, and the scale of the revolution is even larger."

"On the contrary, I hope that the revolution in France will be as big as possible." Lying in the hammock, Scruucci covered his face with "Don Quixote" in his hands, and then put his palms behind his head, "It's best As long as the revolution succeeds, a strong new French government is born."

"So powerful that the Tsar felt threatened, and then we, the Cossacks in the Far East, were called back to Europe."

"Compared to the Far East where the birds don't shit, it's really more comfortable to stay in Europe."

"The emperor of France is also a fool." Afjay sneered, "Obviously his country's financial situation is not very good, but he still spends so much money to support the American independence war."

"If the emperor of France did not support the independence of the Americans, the revolution might be delayed by a few years."

"Milikans should honor the Emperor of France as the Father of the Nation."

Regarding Afja's remarks, Skulucci only smiled, and then said:

"Okay, let's stop talking about Europe."

"Europe is too far away from us, we should pay more attention to our eyes."

"Afjay, pass on the order for me now—in two days, the map of this area will be drawn."

"After drawing the map of this area, we will go back to meet Vahiri and the others, and then we will have a happy Maslenitsa together."

"Hmph, but I guess that fellow Vasili must have started celebrating the holidays early."

"Okay!" Afja nodded vigorously with a happy face.

……

……

Time goes back to the present-

After hearing the name "Skulucci" from Aiyaka's mouth, Ogata's pupils shrank slightly, and then he hurriedly cast a sizing look at the red-haired youth.

——Is he the boss of Vasily and the others...

During these days, in order to be able to buy guns from Vasily and the others, Ogata has been waiting hard for their boss to return.

Ogata never expected that he would run into Vasili's boss in this Qina village.

Ogata remembered that Vasili had told him more than once—their boss was both a Scot and a Cossack.

After taking a closer look at Skulucci's facial features, Ogata found that Skulucci's facial features were indeed deeper than those of Vahili, and his skin was fairer. In short - more European feel.

When Ogata and Atachi looked at Scruzzy, Scruzzy was also looking at Ogata and Atachi.

Looking at the two Kazutos sitting behind Aiyaka, Skulucci raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of curiosity and doubt.

However, he did not immediately ask Aiyaka who the two people sitting behind him were, but first said to Aiyaka:

"Aiyaka, why are you here?"

"These 2 new friends behind me are looking for 2 missing people, so I took them here in China Village to find clues. What about you? Why are you here?"

"We were planning to go back and join Vasily and the others." Skulucci shrugged, "We passed by this village by chance."

"Since I have such a fate with this village, I plan to talk to the people in this village about things that are quite important to them."

"A very important thing?" Aiyaka raised his eyebrows, "What is it?"

"That's a long story, I'll tell you slowly later."

"Aiyaka, do you know the people in this village? If so, please tell me about them"

"People in this village have agreed to hear what we want to say to them."

"But they didn't allow all of us to enter, only a maximum of three people were allowed to enter the village."

"I don't want my subordinates to wait for me outside this fucking cold village. Aiyaka, tell me about them."

As soon as Skulucci's words fell, an old woman standing directly in front of Skulucci with a wrinkled face asked Aiyaka:

"Aiyaka, do you know this red-haired stranger? (Einu language)"

"Well, I know, what happened? (Einu language)" Aiyaka asked back.

"This group of strangers suddenly visited our village just now, saying that they have a very important matter to discuss with us."

"We'd be interested to hear what interesting things they had to say though."

"But we can't casually let such a large group of foreigners into the village, so we blocked them here. (Einu language)"

Hearing this, Aiyaka understood what the differences between Skulucci and the villagers of Kina Village were.

Although the villagers in China Village agreed to hear what the "important thing" Aiyaka said was, they didn't want all of Skulucci and the others to enter the village, and only allowed a maximum of 3 people to enter.

And Skulucci wanted him and all his subordinates to enter the village, and didn't want his subordinates to stay outside the frozen village and wait for him to come back.

"Skulucci." Aiyaka turned to look at Skulucci, "The villagers don't want all your subordinates to enter, which is actually reasonable. After all, with so many foreigners entering the village at once, anyone would be afraid."

"Can you take a step back?"

After listening to Aiyaka's persuasion, Skulucci went to grab his red hair.

"...Forget it, take a step back and take a step back."

After shrugging his shoulders, Scruucci turned his head and shouted to his subordinates behind him:

"Avjay! Lev! You two follow me! The rest stay here and wait for us! (Lucia)"

After giving instructions to the subordinates behind him, Skulucci turned his gaze back to Aiyaka.

"Aiyaka, you shouldn't leave right away, right?"

"Probably not." Aiyaka said, "The two friends behind me and I might spend the night here tonight."

"That's good." Scruucci smiled. "We'll see you later. I'm quite interested in the two friends behind you."

"I just happen to have someone I'm looking for."

……

……

Aiyaka and many people in Qina Village are familiar with each other.

After talking briefly with the people in Kiner Village, the people in Kiner Village let Ogata and the others go.

Aiyaka commanded the sled dogs to pull the sled slowly into the village.

As for Skulucci—he led two of his subordinates to the home of the head of their village, led by some of the villagers of China Village.

Go to tell the village head of their village about the "important thing" he just said.
