Chapter 12: The Horror of the Indian Princess (Part II)
In the last two or three years, Princess Maca, who has retreated to the backwoods of Pacific Beach, has basically lived a peaceful life, except for a few occasional fears.
There is no fire and no blood, no more the beating of war drums, no more miserable wails...... Although it is not as good as in the palace, there are people to serve everything, and even the princesses and nobles cannot afford to talk about pomp, and they also have to go to the sea to fish and go to the mountains to hunt, but at least there is no need to continue fighting.
Moreover, although her husband is a little weird and some habits are also very puzzling, he has a very gentle temper, never beats her and scolds her, and although the fishing and hunting jishu is not good, he has always been very humble and studious. When planting and harvesting corn, they are also willing to put in the effort.
At the time of the first corn harvest, the princess prayed that this peaceful life would continue, and has succeeded in maintaining it to this day.
Then, just a few days earlier, her husband had brought an even bigger surprise to the Indian princess.
-- Accompanied by a black hole that suddenly appeared in the room, several strangely dressed "godmen" descended from the sky, who seemed to be acquaintances with their husbands, and talked happily to each other. Later, when these people appeared for the second time, they brought with them many rare treasures, each of which was something that Princess Maca had never seen or even heard of in her life.
First of all, there were many small bowls, cups, plates and saucers of beautiful workmanship, each of which seemed to her to be so colorful and ingenious. Although it is also said to be fired from clay, it is smoother than jade. Some of the patterns adorned the dishes were flowers, fish, clouds, and coconut trees that she could distinguish, while others were completely incomprehensible to her, such as flying metal birds. But no matter what kind of patterns are decorated on the surface of these tableware, the smooth appearance and beautiful patterns, all of them make her love it.
In comparison, even the finest pottery in the palace of the king of Hungshutizgan was as crude as sand when placed with them.
Then, there were shoes made of some plastic (a word that Princess Maca had just learned from her husband's mouth). These shoes are as light as straw sandals, but stronger than wood, so they won't be soaked in rain and mud. Among them are some particularly beautiful shoes, which are very soft in texture, but they are incredibly almost completely transparent, so that the women of the whole village exclaim that they are crystal slippers!
Princess Maca's favorite pair of purple "crystal shoes" - except for the sole, the top and upper of the shoe are all carefully carved into the shape of layers of flowers, dyed in various bright colors, and then covered with a completely transparent substance to keep the surface smooth. Wearing such shoes on your feet, from a distance it looks like stepping into a flower. If it is illuminated by the sun, it is as bright as a rainbow after a rainstorm...... Therefore, Princess Maca really likes these slippers more and more, and she is reluctant to take them off even when she sleeps.
Zuihou is a number of cylindrical metal cans, with some patterns painted on the surface, and inside are delicious sweet drinks. But opening the canister required a lot of tricks, and even though Moonson had taught her many times, Maca still couldn't figure out how to get it.
Moreover, when opening this kind of jar, it must not be shaken casually, otherwise the drink inside will "poof" and pour people all over their faces...... It's just a small thing to get dirty, but it's a shame that so many rare drinks are wasted.
So, after stabbing several cans with an obsidian knife in a fit of rage, only to be sprayed with various flavors of drinks, Princess Maca and her sister Tia had to ask Moonheir to help them open the cans and pour them into their cups and drink them with a gurgling drink. …,
The problem is that they always like to go out of their way to ask them to rinse their mouths with water after drinking, saying that if they are not careful, they will probably damage their teeth...... I don't know where he heard this truth.
But Princess Maca really didn't dare to drink secretly anymore. Because...... It's too shameful for her to be stripped off her clothes by her husband and licked clean with his tongue like a puppy after being sprayed with a juice drink all over her face...... Every time she remembered what happened that night, she couldn't help but be so shy that she wanted to cover her face.
After drinking all the drinks, he cut off the lid on the top of the jars, which were nice and lightweight containers, and could even be placed directly on the fire to heat the food. As for the few metal cans that were broken by the clumsy princess sisters, they were not wasted, but were handed over to hunters in several villages to disassemble and use to make arrows.
He meant to cut the aluminum flakes of cans into long strips to make the tail of arrows - he had seen this strange weapon in the hands of black gangsters in the slums of the United States (he was the object of his robbery). But the Indians of this era were obviously reluctant to waste metal in such a way. So, a few days later, the fragments of these cans were carefully folded and sharpened into sharp arrows.
It was strange to Princess Maca that her husband was always muttering about what he had lost, even though she had paid a small nugget of gold in exchange for so many wonderful treasures...... In her opinion, if these rare good things in the world were traded to other tribes, she was afraid that she could even exchange twenty times as much gold!
For example, she used a gold bracelet to exchange a string of crystal beads with a young woman on the other side, and in the eyes of Princess Maca, she never felt at a loss. The bracelet is made up of more than twenty purple, yellow, green and red crystal beads, each of which is so crystal clear that it sparkles in the sun. Several of the crystal beads have been carefully polished into the shape of flower buds, stars and baby turtles...... It's so beautiful.
Looking at the rising sun and admiring the string of crystal beads on her wrist, Princess Maca's eyes were full of smiles.
――I am afraid that such a beautiful thing can only be bought casually in the legendary bazaar full of magic and mythical beasts described by my husband, and in the "Yiwu Small Commodity Market" guarded by the dragon!
Alas, I really want to go over there and have a look!
However, it should be impossible to think of such a thing!
The princess couldn't help but look gloomy, and sighed faintly, no matter what era a woman is, there is basically no one who doesn't like shopping.
In addition to the above transactions, the husband's "god-man" friends also gave some additional scented ointment (cooling oil) that can repel insects, as well as a lot of strange food. Some of the food didn't taste great, but there were some very delicious desserts that would make you swallow your tongue! Unfortunately, under her and Tia's "hard work", these dessert hearts had been wiped out the night before.
So, when Princess Maca, as her husband had instructed her, to clean her teeth with a toothbrush and toothpaste, and then spit the water out of her mouth, she saw Tia crouching under the eaves, clutching an empty cardboard box that had once contained cookies, and greedily sniffing the remaining sweetness.
“…… Tia, what are you doing here? She angrily and amusefully grabbed her sister from the ground," ...... Didn't you eat all the cookies in the box a long time ago? Do you still want to use magic to conjure them up? ”
“…… Hey, hey, because people still want to eat! This little pastry is so delicious! ”
Tia scratched her hair a little embarrassedly, and then showed a pitiful look of anticipation, "...... Now, sister, the big brothers, big sisters and grandpas who brought us desserts last time will still come in the future, right?! Will you end up with dessert again? ”
“…… Hmmm, rest assured! Your brother-in-law said they would be back soon! And be sure to bring more desserts to Tia! ”
Maca smiled and rubbed her sister's hair, "...... Alright, go outside and play by yourself! Sister has a lot of things to arrange today! ”
