55. Love the land deeply

Harris left a few guards outside, and the others entered the wooden house.

Afu was a little surprised by the arrival of Qin Ming and others, and his fingers unconsciously pinched the corner of his clothes.

"John is dead." Harris showed complicated eyes. This widow is indeed beautiful.

"Die...dead..."

Qin Ming couldn't see much information from Afu's expression. He was surprised and puzzled, and at the same time he was relieved and relieved and a little sad. It was too complicated.

"Don't be nervous, we're just here to ask you some questions." Matsuhira Tomosaki comforted softly.

Qin Ming was speechless. This elder sister is the most terrifying person present, right?

What is the British Minister and Consul, and the Aizu Fen-Main, what is it? A real monster was born to them!

Feiyuanmo followed Qin Ming and others all the way, and was in the wooden house at this time.

The more I looked at it, the more I felt a little scared in my heart. One person and one demon, with almost the same face, only with different expressions, one was nervous and the other was smiling strangely, and it was particularly vulnerable in contrast.

However, he still smiled gently and asked Afu: "When we came, it was yesterday, so John was injured, it should be the day before yesterday."

"Has John been injured? Or the day before yesterday?" Afu frowned and recalled carefully: "When John came the day before yesterday, he was not injured, he was as strong as a cow."

Harris looked at Qin Ming with doubt.

"Of course, he was not injured at that time." Qin Ming pointed to the eggs in the basket next to the table: "John bought a lot of eggs the day before yesterday. If he was injured when he came, not only would he leave footprints, but he would definitely have sprinkled eggs."

Kondo nodded repeatedly. John bought all the eggs the day before yesterday. Yesterday, he was so idle to see the widow because he didn't eat the eggs.

"John was ambushed when he returned to the embassy..." It sounded reasonable at first glance, but Harris asked another question: "Since he was injured on a mountain road, why didn't he go back to the wooden house to repair it? There is a place to hide, which is obviously safer. The embassy is a distance from here. Who knows if there are any other ambushes in the middle of the journey."

"If there is no misfortune, John will come here today." Qin Ming looked at Tufang and teased: "Unlike you, John is a complete man."

"Qi..." The earth turned over.

At this time, Kondo and Ryuma had already reacted, and John was quite responsible, contrary to the irresponsible Tu Fang, who had been abandoned from the beginning and the end, and was very responsible.

"How can I put a lady in danger alone..."

Longma subconsciously said what he said yesterday that impressed him.

Qin Ming continued: "There were thieves lying outside yesterday, but we discovered them. It was because of this that we met John."

"No wonder John believed our reminder directly. It turned out that it happened the day before yesterday..." Kondo also suddenly realized.

"So that's it..." Harris only knew that Qin Ming and the others were John's saviors, so he came to the embassy as a guest, but John never said what was the specific reason.

"At that time, we advised John not to come to the wooden house again. John was unwilling to do so, and said this."

Harris nodded slightly: "It's indeed what John can say, he's that kind of man."

"But..." Harris was like a problem baby, with more and more questions: "But since he successfully returned to the embassy, ​​why didn't John tell me about the ambush? Even if he didn't say it, he should at least see the doctor."

"Because he doesn't want to."

Qin Ming's expression froze and blinked, as if he was silent for John: "Although John is an Englishman, he loves this land deeply."

"John..." Harris closed his eyes, as if recalling: "He is indeed one of us who truly love this country and even actively learn Japanese. Not only is it simple communication, but also culture, history, and craftsmanship of this country."

"There are a lot of furnishings in the embassy, ​​which he collected from around..."

"That's right." Qin Ming returned to normal and said with a serious look on his face: "Consul Harris, John loves this country and does not want to see this country conflict with his motherland."

"He doesn't want this conflict to arise because of himself."

"But he was injured in ambush. Even those people were thieves who opposed the shogunate lords and expelled the barbarians, it would affect the diplomacy of the two countries."

"So, he chose to hide it."

"Mr. John..." Matsuhei Haruka looked shocked. He thought that only he was worried that the thief who respected the king and expelled the barbarians would attack foreigners, which would worsen the relationship between the shogunate and the United Kingdom. Unexpectedly, another British man thought so.

Moreover, this British man not only thought so, but also tried his best to do it. Even if he was ambushed and injured, he chose not to tell others.

"John is used to wearing a long suit on weekdays and must wear a hat when traveling. Such a dress can cover up the injuries on his shin and head. As long as he does not tell the others in the embassy and does not seek medical treatment, no one will notice it."

"But it was this thought that hurt him..." Harris sighed, recalling the man who brought Japanese novel gadgets to the embassy from time to time.

At that time, many colleagues joked with John and actually brought that kind of rag to the embassy.

When I heard that John fell in love with Japanese women, or even Japanese widows, he started to laugh at him.

But now looking back, John didn't care about this at all. When he was fiddling with gadgets and riding a horse to meet Japanese women, he laughed happier than anyone else.

"How could such a great person do so much for other countries..." Tu Fang was a little suspicious: "I think he didn't think so much at all. Maybe he just wanted women. If the ambush was exposed, the embassy would definitely not let him see Afghan again."

"Who can keep such a beautiful beauty without eating?"

Uh...it makes sense too.

However, Harris frowned instinctively. He wanted to think that his colleagues were more great, and at the same time, he was relieved by Qin Ming's previous behavior of concealing his accident.

If John could see it, he would definitely be more willing to do so than make the fact that he was ambushed and destroys relations between the two countries.

Qin Ming saw Afu's expression change slightly, and Feiyuan Mo was a little strange, and he couldn't help but cheer for the earth in his heart.

Kondo and Ryuma were a little moved. They were foreigners with white skin and yellow hair, and were completely different from their appearance.

But he can do this for Japan.

"Hold your head with both hands! Squat down! Don't move! I'll shoot if I move again!"

There are a series of English outside, which roughly translated into this way, and it's fine.

Everyone was interrupted while sighing and looking out of the wooden house, they saw a few people dressed in warriors being pointed at by the consular guard outside with guns.

"It's them again!"

"This is the thief who wanted to assassinate John yesterday!"

Longma couldn't help but exclaim.

"Wan, Rabbit, Siri, Buddha..." Harris penned his fingers, and there were four of them, not only yesterday, but also these people who ambushed John the day before yesterday.

Kondo, who had clenched his fists, pulled out the samurai sword directly. Even if he was facing his old friend Nagakura Shinhachi, he couldn't help it: "Are you coming for John again? He is dead!"

"He is obviously a bloody man like us. John loves this land from the bottom of his heart. Perhaps his mood is stronger than us!"

Nagakura was a little confused by the honest man's outbreak, and Ichikawa Kok defended himself: "He has occupied a Japanese woman!"

"Is there anything?" Qin Ming stood up and walked outside the house: "If you go to an island or fall in love with the indigenous people above you from the bottom of your heart, then the best way to express this mood is to fall in love with the women there?"

Longma's eyes lit up, and lsp had such a fresh and refined explanation.

Qin Ming turned slightly and looked into the room from the corner of his eyes. Sure enough, when John's incident happened to Afu, Fei Yuanmo's strange smile disappeared.
