Chapter 40: Boya the Postman
"Ahhhh
"Even if Ai Yue says so, we've all been sitting here for a long time. The black-haired boy lay lazily on the grass by the side of the road, the dog's tail in his mouth, swaying up and down with his voice.
"Isn't there a passing carriage to take us a ride? What! The people here are too stingy!"
Ai Yue kicked the pebbles on the side of the road in anger, kicking them one by one into the middle of the path.
"No, the kind of carriage that occasionally passes by and has the daughter of a nobleman of a certain kingdom in the carriage doesn't exist at all. Ai Lian dealt with Ai Yue perfunctorily, and in the lazy sunshine of early April, Ai Lian was so sleepy almost every day.
"Elianβ" The silver-haired girl muttered, unhappily smashing a pebble at the black-haired boy lying beside her.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm hungry!"
"Didn't you? You only had breakfast an hour ago, right?"
"Hungry is hungry! It doesn't matter when you eat something, okay!"
"It's obviously very related... β
Just as the two were talking, a loud roar came from behind them.
Along with the roar, there was a large amount of sand and dust that was rolled up, and from a distance it looked like a sandstorm in the desert.
Of course, the vegetation of the Western Continent covers almost the entire territory, and the desert is a rare sight here.
"Tutu Tu Tu Tuβ"
The loud roar grew closer, and then stopped in front of Eren and Ai Yue.
"Yo-Boya! Elian smiled and greeted the people on the bike, it was difficult to see such a magnificent locomotive in such a remote countryside except for the postman Boya.
The man riding a huge motorcycle looked like he was in his twenties. Like all young people of his age, Boya loves all sorts of exaggerated motifs, such as the wings of giant angels and demons printed on the side of the locomotive, and the skull with flaming eyes on the front of the locomotive.
"Good morning, Elian! Well, Sister Aiyue is just as beautiful today. β
The man on the locomotive took off his helmet and greeted the two of them energetically.
Ai Yue smiled and beckoned to Boya, and Ai Lian also stood up slowly.
"It's hard work. Elian said with a grin, Boya's job is a postman, and in small places where transportation and communication are not very developed, Boya's work is particularly important, and writing letters is the only way to communicate between people in these places.
But this kind of great work, Ai Lian can't do it in his lifetime.
"Haha, for me, being able to travel around the world on a motorcycle is simply the greatest reward given by the goddess Gaia. Boya smiled and gave a thumbs up and said with a smile.
"By the way, I heard a nice puzzle in the east, can you guess?"
Boya suddenly looked a little excited, did he think that there were any other puzzles in the world that could be solved by my thief king Eren Aitto?
"Tell me about it. β
"Well, there's an animal that has four legs in the morning, two feet at noon, and three legs at night, what kind of animal is this?"
"Gaia is on top! How stupid people have to be to think of such a question! The answer is "people"?
Allen answered it almost without thinking, and he was still very confident in a puzzle of this magnitude.
"It's a shame that the answer was wrong. Boya smiled and said with a grin.
"Wh... How could it be?" Eren could barely believe his ears, "and what kind of animal are you?"
"Since the great king of thieves can't answer, let me announce the answer below. The correct answer is - man!" Boya said triumphantly, turning his helmet.
"Male... Ai Lian almost killed the smug Boya in front of him without a sword, and Ai Yue also leaned over his head at this time and asked, "Why a man?"
"Well~ The reason is also very simple, as soon as the night comes, the man will show his γγγγγ Mmmmmm
Eren covered Boya's mouth to prevent him from continuing.
While covering Boya's mouth, Ai Lian said to Ai Yue: "It's nothing, Ai Yue doesn't need to know about this kind of thing!"
"What's the matter~ stingy!"
Ai Yue kicked Ai Lian's calf again as if she was angry, and muttered.
Finally broke free of Ai Lian's hand, Boya took a big breath of fresh air, and finally relieved himself.
Seeing that his colored puzzle could not be approved by Elian, Boya was not angry, but grinned and stepped on his beloved locomotive, ready to continue to the next town.
"Boom-boom-"
After a large puff of black exhaust from the rear of the locomotive sprayed Ai Lian's face, Boya started the locomotive with satisfaction.
"By the way, Ellen, you know what? There's one thing, too many words can make people annoyed, too little can make people annoyed. You can't have too much and you can't completely abandon it, what is it?"
"Hmm... Is too much or too little something to annoy people?" said Elian, pinching his chin.
"Well, this little puzzle must not be difficult for the king of thieves, right? See you next time!"
With the roar of the locomotive gradually fading away, Boya's figure slowly disappeared at the end of the path, only the sound of the breeze blowing through the grassland, accompanying Ai Lian and Ai Yue.
"Today is a good day. Elian looked at the cloudless sky and said softly.
Suddenly, he turned his head and said to Ai Yue beside him, "When we get to the next town, shall we go for a donut dinner?"
"Donuts?!Why are you so good today??That's great!"
Ai Yue cheered and hugged Ai Lian's arm.
Too much and too little to make people trouble, is it money, or love, or friendship? Elian has not solved this puzzle today, and maybe in the near future, he will be able to solve it perfectly.
