The pouring rain carried the slowly falling snow and stopped for more than half an hour.

But just such a shower mixed with snow suddenly made the already warm midspring afternoon become completely cool.

Farmers in the northern part of the Crescent Island have a saying that "the winter snow is abundant, the spring snow is disgusting", taking advantage of the early spring to warm up to the field to sow seedlings at the time of sudden heavy snow, freezing to death frostbitten seedlings will make them reimburse the fruits of their labor for a long time, and have to start again.

Even though it was only a light snow that had just reached the depth of the calf and neck, within its reach, there were probably many farmers who sighed bitterly.

Appreciating snow and rain is an act that only nobles can do.

Even if they are in the same place, and the sky and the earth are the same, there is still a difference between what two people of different classes can see.

Working people often only see obstacles, and on rainy days, the muddy ground is difficult to walk, and soaking in water will soak the crops, make their houses moldy, and soak things in water.

It's like this everywhere.

Whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made war, it is often the weak who are already in trouble. The strong have the resources, and some have a way to get out or protect themselves. Therefore, they can praise the beauty of disasters and write poems and lyrics to describe the scenery.

But the weak have already done their best just to survive, how can they have this margin.

Even for people like Mira and Kaleva, who were born from other countries, it wasn't hard to imagine. There are upper and lower classes in any country, and what restricts the lower classes from climbing up is that they have to do their best to keep their stomachs full, and they have no time to learn and improve.

On this basis, the strict Moon Country has put another layer of spiritual shackles, so that the peasants not only can't find time to study and forge ahead, but also humbly think in their hearts that they have stayed where they should stay for the rest of their lives, and any idea of changing the status quo is very rebellious.

After a period of marching together and fighting side by side, Mira and Kaleva, who had become more or less familiar with these Japanese samurai teammates, probably understood how to get along with them, and probably understood why the missionary mission in this country was so difficult.

He is a reasonable person.

Especially the aristocracy of the Japanese people is one of the best.

"A nobleman should not stand on the basis of the nobility of his blood, but should show his superiority by his words and deeds, appearance and posture. In this way, the hearts of the people will be won and the people will be submitted. ”

Since childhood, they have been required to be both civil and military, not only will etiquette be in place, but their understanding and communication skills will not be bad at all.

If you get it right, they won't lose out to anyone you know when it comes to being reasonable. The two sides can communicate effectively, both work together professionally, and even become friends – just look at how happy the team is now.

But that's based on the premise of getting it right.

And the rebellion of people is to criticize the inadequacy of their country.

As long as it doesn't involve the discussion of their current way of being, the class society of the Moon Country, then everyone can be good friends.

It is a strange relationship of politeness and formality, perhaps because of the fact that they are both great countries with a long history, and similar to the Padrossi, it gives people a sense of distance and difficulty in really communicating.

Except for those things that cannot be talked about or touched, it is okay to talk about the world. But as soon as you mention it, the atmosphere instantly stiffens.

It is a strange combination of unwavering confidence in one's country's rich history and the pride of being a part of it, as well as the estrangement created by the differences between the cultures of Rigal and Crescent.

In Rigal, where the sparks of the westward migration of the Lamani civilization grew up, even the west coast still has cultural commonalities in many places. Thus the mission of the Church may have been hampered by language and openness, but never had it been so large as in Crescent Island that it had to be resorted to inciting war as a gamble.

It's fine not to touch that, but it's impossible for a missionary to work without touching it.

The Unitarian faith requires believers to devote themselves to the gods, and it is unacceptable for the White Church if the samurai still believe in the traditions of the Moon Country and follow the Moon Country way of life.

The contradiction is not just superficial interests, but deep down, they outsiders are not adapted to the different cultural soil of Crescent Continent.

"It's good that I'm just a mercenary. Having a general idea of the missionaries' purpose and the obstacles they would encounter, the girl sighed a little heartlessly.

After a battle side by side, the relationship of trust established between the two parties will probably be more stable in the future.

Henry's tactics, the cooperation of the Yashi, and the subsequent interaction of helping the samurai skillfully handle their wounds not only dissolved the barrier, but also proved their worth as a human being.

As we mentioned earlier, it is very unhealthy to maintain an unequal relationship in a team for a long time, because there will always be people who become psychologically unbalanced.

Although the Japanese samurai are well hidden, they are still arrogant. Food, shelter and protection are all provided by them, and these people will inevitably despise Henry, the Nanban, and Temulun and other Yi people.

However, the war with the bandits and the subsequent treatment of wounds on the one hand dampened the samurai's spirit, making them understand that although they were strong, they were not invincible, and they would still be injured in the face of enemies who could fight back, and on the other hand, they also realized that there were people who knew the art of war and could use their strength to fight, and the border people they underestimated showed their tenacity in the face of bloodshed and injuries was also impressive.

With so many details, it is our Sage's consistent style to impress others through actions.

Parenters still know that "words and deeds teach", if they can't do practical things with just a mouth that can say beautiful things, how can these samurai who are arrogant and consider themselves strong in martial arts be convinced.

They accepted the Nanban outsiders such as Yiren and Henry, although there were still a small number of samurai such as the young master Yajiro who sometimes put on a bad face, and the missionaries also made the atmosphere awkward because they still had occupational diseases from time to time, but overall.

After this series of events, the samurai have accepted their traveling companions and treated them as equals.

This is a direct manifestation of a change that many unworldly young people may not notice - that is, when Narumi was planning to move on to the next step after the snow stopped, he took the initiative to invite Temuron and Henry to join them in the discussion.

Although the samurai leader was not arrogant, and he had seen Henry's strength as an individual twice before, he had made a direct decision when he made his plans a few days ago and then informed Henry and the leader of the Yi people, Temurun.

It is true that the strength of the sage's personal force is obvious to all. However, there is no direct correlation between the martial arts of a combat professional as an individual and his ability as a commander, so until Henry proves his talent in this area, and until Temuron proves that he can rule the Yiren tribe and act accurately according to Henry's plan, no matter how powerful they are, Narumi will definitely not consult them.

Even if this is still his home field, Henry and Temulun are not as knowledgeable as him about the nearby roads, and this kind of active consultation and invitation to join reveals an equality and respect.

These are the skills that Young Master Yajiro still hasn't been able to learn.

This is also the distinction between the samurai leaders of the upper class and the samurai of the lower class.

Whether he is valued, grateful, and respected, Narumi has responded positively in these aspects, and Henry and Temulun, as mature adults, will naturally not become fluttering like this, and really start pointing fingers at the plan.

The two of them quietly listened to the samurai leader explain the next step, and basically agreed on the general plan of march, and the leader of the Ito and the sage made some suggestions based on their own knowledge of the march in the wilderness and the changing weather, and Narumi also added the consideration as a variable after confirming that they were indeed valuable.

And after Henry and Temulun returned to the team and communicated the next step to their own people, the hundred-man brigade spent some time getting all the things that needed to be mended in the previous battle, ate a hot meal, looked at the sky outside and gradually brightened again, and finally regrouped and prepared to go on the road again.

Because of the colder weather, most people took out their warm clothes. The samurai wore a garment called "Jinhaoori" over their bright armor, which Narumi had worn since the beginning, but most of the ordinary samurai were not so flamboyant.

"Haori" is a kind of coat for Japanese people, and adding "array" in front of this noun means that it is to be worn to "go into battle to kill the enemy", that is, it is a part of armor clothing and armed clothing.

Ordinary haori has sleeves, but the outside of the armor must not wrap too many things or it will hinder movement, so Jinhaoori is mostly sleeveless vests.

Feather weaves made of silk and wool or cotton can have a certain ability to resist weather changes, and many people also take this out to increase their warmth because of the cooling reasons.

The Yi people added their original clothes to the clothes of the people as warmth, because they were walking, and they brought these two sets of clothes to go into battle lightly, but there were not many additional replacements.

The weather turned cold, and Mira, Henry, and Galeva turned over the Rigalese cowhide boots that had been put away.

With a thick leather sole and a relatively thinner leather boot, the Rigalese are more comfortable than the straw sandals of the Land of the Moon. If you rub beeswax back and forth at the sutures and then roast it into it by fire, even if you step on stagnant water, because beeswax can still resist a certain amount of resistance, and it is not easy to be eroded by cold.

But because of the snow, our Luoan girl also ran to the ashigaru side to ask for some dry straw, folded it and stuffed it into her leather boots, and stomped on the insoles that were insulated from moisture.

The behavior of the foreigners makes the Heren and even the Yi people look at it intently, but they themselves are not without means of keeping their feet warm.

Thick lace-up shoes made of straw on the soles of the feet will not be replaced, but they have been changed from barefoot or light socks to so-called "long foot bags".

This is a kind of thick two-toed socks sewn from cloth, and people use "foot bag" to call socks, this word is very simple and easy to understand: foot refers to the foot, and the bag is a bag, a bag on the foot, a foot bag;

By extension, the so-called long foot bag is naturally an elongated version of ordinary socks. Some of them are calf length, and some even go up to the thighs, this kind of leg equipment made of thick cotton cloth will also thicken a layer of cloth at an angle, which is equivalent to wearing an extra pair of cotton pants, and the ability to keep out the cold is naturally very good.

Then put on the straw sandals that are durable to walk, and the foot equipment for cold weather is complete.

The sun is not shining, and it feels like it will continue to rain or snow in the future.

The wet snow on the ground would not be very convenient to walk, but they still did not completely break away from the territory of the bandits, so they immediately returned to the road after an emergency rest.
