Chapter 35: A Childish Woman
The appearance of the curious rider was nothing more than a small episode on Lunaka's path, and whoever it was, didn't keep it too close to their hearts. Lulunaka lay on her back on the carriage, feeling the warm sun with her eyes closed in the cold winter. And Julius and Romeona, the two young men, now have their own minds. It was the first time for Romeona to travel with Lulunaka, and she had come to another continent, which may not be obvious on the surface, but her mood was actually quite excited. Julius, on the other hand, was accustomed to going out, but when Pasta was not there and he was shouldering the task of leading the way, he realized that it was a very different feeling—with the whip in his hand and the map in his arms, he could decide which direction and where he was going next.
Despite this thought, in the end, Julius still has to obediently listen to Lulunaka and go where she wants to go. The Whimsy walked very slowly, and no matter how hard the two donkeys tried, it would always be one step behind. Horseback riders, whole wagons, and travelers on foot all crossed the Whimsy and left it behind. There are also curious people who will slow down, walk on the side of the big carriage, and talk to Julius and the others.
There was a carriage passing by, it was a carriage carrying a whole load of miscellaneous goods, and two children were sitting in the back, playing in the small space—the open-top carriage had not much room for the two children to fight, so they could only lie on the side and shake their heads, and sing in a childish voice.
When they saw Lulunaka's whimsy, the children all looked up and let out a wow-wow, their eyes sparkling as they stared at the behemoth. "What a big carriage!" "What a poor donkey!"
Little boys and little girls have different concerns, but no matter who they are, they have good eyes. Lulunaka's Whimsy is surprisingly large, and the donkey pulling the cart is also pitiful.
The carriage in which the two children rode was not small, but it was a little small compared to the whimsy. The children had to look up to see the full picture of the whimsy, and to see Lulunaka from above.
The children pointed to Lulunaka, "Someone's lazy!" "Are you sleeping?"
The distance between the two sides was not very far, and the children's voices were so loud that Julius, Romeona, and Lulunaka could hear them clearly. Julius nodded slightly, the two children were still honest, although they didn't get candy for being honest—Julius thought so, but things didn't seem to be as simple as he thought.
Lulunaka's little hand clasped around her mouth and shouted to the child, "I'm not lazy, stupid kids!"
When the children saw Lulunaka's response, they began to make more noise, "You're stupid!" "Slacker!"
Lulunaka and the children quarreled and yelled at each other, and the picture could be said to be very childish - not so much a quarrel, but a way for the puppies to bite and flutter at each other after they met. Although one of them is not a puppy at all, it is just an old monster wearing such a layer of skin.
Julius didn't know what Romeona's mood was at this time, he was feeling very embarrassed and embarrassed now. The woman above, who is all very old, went out this time and messed up a new relationship with the three of them, directly disguised as his and Romeona's "mother" - not to mention the appearance problem, she seems to be determined to do this - and this wonderful mother is now arguing with other children like a child, scolding and scolding.
Julius didn't know how to speak, especially when Lulunaka was really having fun with other people's children like a child. And it seemed that the family of the two children in front of him did not intend to stop it, Julius only vaguely heard a man's voice of "Don't make too much trouble!", and no one came to clean up the two naughty children.
The only thing to be thankful for is probably that the two children in front of them are fairly educated, do not throw things, and do not use the goods behind them as throwing objects. If you want to compare them like this, these two children are much more comfortable than Lulunaka.
Then something happened that made Julius feel even more ashamed and faceless: he saw something fly out of his head and fall in the direction of the two children. It must have been something Lulunaka had thrown out, and it looked like pebbles, falling in an arc towards the child she was arguing with.
The little boy and the little girl screamed, their heads down, dodging the little thing that was smashing at them, "Wow!
"It's the prerogative of smart kids, you stupid kids won't understand!" Luluna laughed as she continued to throw her hand at the two ignorant children.
Now it wasn't just Julius, even Romeona's face became a little ugly, and judging by her expression, Julius could be sure that she definitely didn't expect Lulunaka to do such a childish thing - worse than a child.
Julius just thought about what might happen next, and his stomach seemed to ache faintly. What if the two children complained to their families, and the adults on the other side came to inquire about the situation or to ask about the crime? Would he point to the guy above who was more naïve than a child and say, "I'm sorry, this is my mother, please forgive me...... Just thinking about this happening gave Julius goosebumps, he definitely didn't want to be a "son" who said such a thing, it would be more painful to torture him with torture instruments.
Seeing that Romeona's face also became very strange, Julius smiled bitterly: "If you get used to it, you won't care too much." ”
Romeoona didn't say anything for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence that made him cry and laugh, "Is this the price...... You seem to be used to it. ”
Julius didn't want to get used to that.
Lulunaka threw the pebble for a while, so that the two children couldn't lift their heads. Julius thought it would go on like this, but then he was stunned. Suddenly there was a cheering voice from the child's side, "Wow, it's candy!"
The two children came out of their heads, their cheeks moving, and they seemed to be chewing on something. Both Julius and Romeona saw that they were still clutching colorful things in their hands and stuffing them into their mouths. By this time, both of them had realized that Lulunaka had thrown out not pebbles, but candy.
"Rejoice, bad little imps!" said Luluna, laughing at it, and scattered a handful of candy in her hand, most of which landed on the carriage where the two children were sitting, and quite a few of them fell on the spot, and she didn't look sorry at all.
