the Avengers

In the bustling city center, at the door of the pawnshop, an old carriage that had been carefully repaired stopped.A dark young man jumped off his horse and went in carrying a large package.

"Mr. Park, your package has arrived!"

"Oh! It's Ashin."

Ashin is the messenger in the town.

He always drives the old carriage that his father left him, carrying packages, large and small, to and from here.Every time everyone saw him, they would happily shout "Ashin is here, Ashin is here." Over time, his name was integrated into the four squares of paper.

After getting out of the pawnshop, his pony carriage continued on.

"Ashin! It's Ashin!"

"Ashin is here!"

"Is there a letter for me?"

Ashin responded to the surroundings, his pace gradually brisk.When passing the grocery store, a strange color suddenly flowed in front of my eyes.

"Who is that?" He couldn't help asking.

"Come to borrow the phone." The shopkeeper poked his head out of the window.

"Is it a foreigner?"

"Yes—where is my letter?"

"Here, here." Ashin took out a dozen letters from his satchel, counted the names and searched for them, and muttered, "It looks familiar!"

"Oh? If you know him, it's kindness." The shopkeeper smiled from ear to ear. "He didn't get through the phone, so he gave me a gold coin."

"Wow, pie in the sky - take it easy!"

"You kid!" The shopkeeper knocked his head and glanced at the telephone beside him.

Ashin laughed, jumped on the horse, and continued to drive forward.

Later, on the avenue in the suburbs, he met this man again.

He stood on the side of the road and waved like a flowing color.

"Hello," he said as he took off his hat, his bright curly hair standing out.He raised his head, showing a face that Ashin was unexpectedly familiar with, "Do you know where to go to Wudao Town?"

"Wist Road Town?"

Ashin looked at him quietly, and suddenly thought of something, he quickly jumped off the horse, bent down and asked, "Are you going to attend the banquet at Michuan Mansion?"

"Uh... yes."

Suddenly, Ashin said hurriedly, "I'm also preparing to go back to Wudao Town. If you don't mind, I can give you a ride."

The man was happy, and after thinking for a while, he took out a bag of gold coins from his pocket and put them in Ashin's hands.

Ashin hastily stuffed it into his pocket, and made room behind the car.

"Please sit down please sit down."

The man sat down without taking off his luggage.

The carriage wobbled on again.

"What's your name?" Ashin was also happy.

"You can just call me Yadu." The man replied, and Tian asked, "Are you the postman in this area?"

"Well, yes! I've been the only postman here, and we've been here for years."

"Do you know the area well?"

"Of course! I was born in Wudao Town. It used to be a small town, so I often ran errands for everyone. Later, the master installed the first telephone in the town—good guy! More and more people came into the town, everywhere When it became lively, the First Master let me do this job..."

"The former master you are talking about is Takahiro Mikawa?" During the pause, the man rushed to ask.

"Yes!" Ashin was surprised.

"How long has he been dead?"

"Well...about ten years."

"Ten years..." the man whispered.

Ashin couldn't help turning his head, and saw that he was so depressed, he hurriedly said: "You look young, I didn't expect to know Master Guikuan."

"Ah."

"So you planned to visit Master Guikuan?"

"Ah."

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

After a long time, the man asked: "Just now you said that more and more people came into the town. When did it start?"

As if a long drought meets nectar, Ashin hurriedly replied: "It was a few years before the master passed away."

"Did anything special happen at that time?"

Ashin was taken aback, tried to recall, and said, "If I really want to say it, it should be said that there are two special people here!"

"Special?" A rising tone.

"Well...how should I put it, you know—the land in Wudao Town has always been owned by the Michuan family. We are protected by the Michuan family and live a stable life. No one has ever thought about it. After going out, no one came in again. But about ten years ago, two people broke in suddenly."

"A man and a woman?"

"How do you know?" Ashin was surprised.

"My guess."

"Oh! To be precise, it's a father and daughter—the first pair of outsiders to step into Wudao Town! At that time, the whole town went to see it, and the father of the former master even hosted a banquet for them."

"and then?"

"The father and daughter claim to be explorers and have been to many places. The girl is very lively and likes to tell us her experiences. We people, where have we been! Lovely listening to those stories. Not only us, first The Lord is the same, he always sneaks out and gets stuck among the servants like us. Later, the father of the former Lord invited those two people to live in the mansion because there was no other way."

At this time, the carriage was passing through the golden field.A gust of wind blew by, setting off a monstrous wave of wheat.

"It seems to be raining." Ashin muttered.

"Go on." Another burst of urging.

"Oh! It just so happened that the former master's distant cousin, who is now Mrs. Sachiko—as you must know, also came to Wudao Town. It was the first time that Wudao Town was so lively."

"Did she come here at that time?" Ashin couldn't help being surprised by the slightly tough tone.

"Uh... Mrs. Sachiko would occasionally come here with her parents when she was a child. But that year, Mrs. Sachiko happened to be an adult, so..."

"She's here to marry Master Guikuan."

"Yes. But the wedding dragged on for a long time—this is all off topic. In short, it should be influenced by that girl. Soon after, the Michuan family installed a telephone, which broke the long-standing relationship between our town and the world. state of isolation."

"So that's it. What happened to the father and daughter afterwards?"

"Really!" Ashin glanced at the man strangely, "Then one day, a group of outsiders broke into the town aggressively and took them away."

"Caught it? Why?" I was surprised for a while.

"Alas—" Ashin sighed and shook his head, "Because they are liars."

"What do you mean?"

"They're fraudsters."

"How is it possible!" The man suddenly lost his composure, and Ashin tightened the reins in fright, and the carriage bumped a bit on the flat ground.

"Oh, you are really... However, we were the same as you at first, thinking that this is impossible! Because they are very kind to us, and the master's family also likes them very much. But in the public trial later, we found out , It turns out that the father and daughter have been wandering around pretending to be explorers, defrauding money, being wanted by many places, and then fled to us."

"Do you believe what he said?"

"We didn't want to believe it, but they finally admitted it." Ashin shook his head.

"They admitted they were liars?"

"Yes."

"It's impossible. What are the names of the father and daughter?" Ashin was almost pulled off his horse.

"Hey, don't drag me, let me think about it first... um... my father's name should be Dewey, and my daughter's name should be Monica."

With a plop, Ashin looked back, and the man fell down on the box with a shocked expression on his face.

"That's impossible. They must be threatened, right?"

"Probably not, it's a public trial after all... But it's ironic, if the phone hadn't been installed, those people wouldn't know they were here."

no answer.

Ashin turned his curious head back, but closed his mouth wisely.

The man didn't speak any more until he got off the car at the entrance of the town.

"Thank you."

"Don't you really need me to take you there? It's still a bit far from here to Michuan Mansion."

"no need."

"OK then."

Ashin watched the man leave and continued on his way, while thinking about what happened just now, he arrived at the gate of Michuan Mansion in a short while.He jumped off the horse, handed the gold-plated envelope to the attendant who came to answer the door, and said casually:

"This is a letter from the city, addressed to the master."

After finishing speaking, he was startled suddenly, and Yadu's face appeared in his mind.
