Chapter 27: Gluttonous Machi?
Just today, a big thing happened on Lanlan Island, which has always been peaceful and peaceful, and the food of the shrine maidens of the Sea Dragon King Shrine was stolen!
"Youyin, your family's food was also stolen?" Everyone gathered around the pedestrians as usual and began to discuss.
"Also?" Qian Yin obviously heard the meaning of Lingling's words, and asked in surprise: "So did your family's food also be stolen?" Who did it!? â
"It's really strange that there are thieves in the village! And a thief who specializes in stealing food!? "The pedestrian was also amazed, for in all the time we have been on this island, he is most aware of the kindness and simplicity of the people who live here.
"It's not just our family!" Lingling said solemnly: "I heard that several families have recently stolen rice, miso or vegetables in the fields!" However, because the amount is not large, it did not cause a big commotion. â
"It can't be a rat or something, right?" Hearing that all the food was stolen and the amount was not large, the pedestrian asked hesitantly. In his cognition, only rats would do such a thing, but the common sense of the outside world does not work on Lanlan Island!
Xiao Ling sighed helplessly, and said to the passers-by: "The rats are not so uneducated, although usually they will do some pranks or something...... "Hearing this, I want to complain a little, educated mice, I really want to see what it looks like."
"Since it's not a mouse, then the prisoner should be ......" The pedestrian noticed that Ma Zhi casually picked up the tribute that was used to worship Jizo Bodhisattva, and stopped talking and looked at Ma Zhi speechlessly. The others also found out about this, and collectively looked at Ma Zhi, who was calmly eating something that came by the way, and stopped talking.
If Ma Zhi did it, then there is nothing unusual, I guess everyone probably thinks so in their hearts, because when I saw the scene just now, ahem! That's how I thought it! Anyway, Ma knows how much appetite you usually have? Why can you often see your mouth eating? Several times I was thinking about whether or not to share the fairy beans I ate with Asahi ......
"You... You don't think I did all of that, do you? "Ma Zhi couldn't be calm this time, looking at us in disbelief, we can only smile awkwardly, it's not that we want to think like this, it's really Ma Zhi you are the only one who can do this!
Just when Aschi was hit by everyone's distrust, the bigger bad news came! Someone ate all the freshly ripe gherkins in the cucumber field!! Compared with the previous things, this is not a trivial matter, after all, the amount of stealing some rice and food is small, and it is not a big deal, but the food stolen into the field is different!
Especially when everyone saw the cucumber fields that had been picked up and eaten all over the ground, they were all shocked.
Ignoring the pedestrians, where they joked about Machi, I carefully observed the footprints on the ground, no matter how greedy Machi was, he would never eat so many cucumbers, it was definitely eaten by other creatures! And it's probably the alien I've been dreaming of!
At first, I just thought it was someone's prank, but now that I see the cucumber field, I instantly think of the alien who lost the flying machine. On this small island completely isolated from the outside world, only outsiders like me and pedestrians would do such things, and if it was an alien human, if they saw humans living on this island, they would definitely show up directly to ask for help, after all, the people who live here are women, and no matter how you look at it, it looks like there is no danger.
But the other party would rather do the case secretly than show up, then it means that the other party is definitely not a human being! If I wasn't an outsider to humanity, could I think of any other answer? Only aliens will try their best to steal food and find their own flying machines without humans noticing them!
Looking at the strange footprints in front of me, I smiled with satisfaction, and sure enough, it was exactly what I thought! The footprints in front of me were completely different from those of animals I knew, and unless they were a new species, I couldn't be mistaken!
The pedestrians had already been dragged away by Ma Zhi, and almost all of them were suspicious of Ma Zhi just now, so they directly blackened Ma Zhi. Of course, only she knows whether she dragged pedestrians away because she was really worried about her reputation, but I think she probably wanted to change the passersby's perception of her, otherwise why drag pedestrians with her? After all, she is eighteen years old, and she can be regarded as an old aunt who can't marry on the island.
The others were also instructed by the blackened Machi to go together to find the prisoner, and I thought about it and ran directly to the vicinity of Chikage's house, anyway, if it was really the same as I guessed, the other party would definitely come here! I don't believe that the other party will not be able to detect the location of their aircraft!
"No matter how good your planet technology is, I'm definitely going to catch you!" I laughed and set up a trap in Chikage's house, of course I wouldn't be stupid enough to make a simple trap like Chikage's that even I would get into, I can imagine anything dead!
"By the way, why don't I just ask for that flying machine from the Thousand Shadows family and put it at my house and wait for the other party to come?" I laid out the trap and complained to myself, and then I stopped silently.
"What an idiot I'm in!" I slapped myself directly and walked towards the Thousand Shadows with an embarrassed smile. It seems that since I came to this world, I have been a little lazy to think, but I am really fascinated by such a peaceful and peaceful life! But I can't go on like this, how can I get out of that person's grip and go back to my own world!?
Chikage was happy to agree to my request, and anyway, to her, it was just a chair or could only be used as a chair, so it didn't matter if it was given to me. But yes but! Chikage knew that I was a skilled carpenter, and that even the village's recognized carpentry master, Thornta, was full of praise when it came to crafting small things like furniture, so she asked me to make her a replacement.
Listening to Chikage talking about her request for her chair with great interest, I can't complain, are you sure you want a chair, not a robot? After some haggling, I finally agreed to her request, and I could make a dead thing like this with just imagination, it was so easy!
When I got home, I found that Ma Zhi and the others were still discussing how to catch the thief, and they had already decided to divide into two teams and wait for the other party to throw themselves into the net, and I had no interest in participating, so I went home after eating and prepared to go. What to prepare, you ask? Of course, prepare for the alien trap!
........ (īŊīšīŊ)~zZ.......
The next day, I was disappointed and left the house, although someone had entered my house last night, but the other party was completely human, not the alien I wanted to wait for at all. Because the other party did not show the slightest sign of hostility, and although she stayed in my kitchen for a while, I had no intention of arresting her.
I heard each other's stomach growling from afar.,It's a pity that my house never puts any food.,I won't directly fantasize about what I want to eat!? Later, the other party touched Xiao Ling's house again, but it seemed that he was scared away by Xiao Ling who suddenly yelled, so the timid guy dared to run out in the middle of the night to steal something to eat? It's really speechless.
"What are you trying to do?" I looked at the pedestrians and Xiaoling, and the big tree behind them that looked so suspicious, speechless.
"Do you really think that this disguise can hide from everyone?" I ignored the embarrassed smiling pedestrians and Xiaoling, and went straight to the front of the big tree, and said weakly, "At least you cover your face!" Don't treat everyone like idiots, okay? â
"Yes... I'm sorry..."The other party is a very Chinese-style girl with two small bags of buns, who seems to be very timid, and when she sees me approaching, she begins to apologize desperately, while looking around for a route to escape. The panicked look made me want to laugh, but I couldn't.
"Did something happen to you that makes you so afraid of humans?" My face instantly became gloomy, I was very impressed to see such a very Chinese girl, if it was really because she encountered something unbearable to become like this, I think I would probably go straight away. And if I go berserk, Lanlan Island? Even the earth could be blown to smithereens by me!
The pedestrian and Xiaoling explained to me behind me, and although the reason was very tricky, I reluctantly accepted it. But what kind of shy do you have to be to be able to make a young girl in the flower season become a person who doesn't dare to appear in human society without a mask now!? Also, you have so much time to do these fake disguises, why can't you learn how to get along with people normally!?
Because Ma Zhi, who has been misunderstood now, is still angry, pedestrians and Xiaoling don't dare to directly introduce the girl named Meimei to everyone, and whether Meimei's character can be explained clearly is not conquered. So pedestrians have to find ways to avoid Mei Mei being discovered, although the means are a little rough, but because of the rough nerves of the girls here, everyone has not yet discovered Mei Mei's existence, of course, I am also there to help.
But there are some things that can't be hidden, and when she found her companion Tono, who Mei Mei said, the happy Mei Mei was directly exposed in front of everyone.
"That's... It should be a kappa, right? "I asked the pedestrian with some uncertainty, the green skin, the turtle shell on his back, and the plate on his head should be the legendary Japanese kappa, right? But why does Mao look so cute? Although I know that the animals on Lanlan Island are all cute, but who can tell me why the animals that come in from the outside world are also cute?
"Is there any kappa in this world? It must be some kind of turtle! The passerby didn't seem to believe any of these supernatural things, and forced a smile and said, "Yes, definitely!" "Sometimes pedestrians are really stubborn! The ghost he named the ghost still bears the label of a little white bear......
Under the persuasion of pedestrians, Achi finally forgave Meimei and Tono, who had damaged their reputation? However, looking at the way she and the unruly Tono fight together, it is estimated that it is still very difficult for these two people to get along peacefully! It's no wonder that who made Asa Chi a witch clan representing justice, and Tono a youkai representing evil? The strangest thing is that they can get along normally!
The people of the village are curious, but not disgusted, because they are also alien compared to the animals on this island. However, the damage caused by Meimei and Tono to the people in the village still needs them to work slowly in the future to compensate, but at least they have permission to live in the village, and I believe that with the help of those kind girls, they will quickly adapt to life here.
It's a pity that I haven't been able to lure out the alien this time, and I really don't know where the other party has the patience to wait for the opportunity to come. In other words, don't you really want to appear in front of us humans? I don't have any ill intentions, I'm just asking a question!
