"Wow! This weapon is really useful. It can kill the slime with just one bullet. It saves a lot of trouble."
After collecting the condensate on the ground with Ying, Paimon said with emotion while looking at the pistol hanging on the other's waist.
Compared with Ying's previous one-handed sword, this weapon is both worry-free and easy to use without using elemental power, which makes Paimeng a little itchy.
"Don't think about taking this gun. It was given to me by Nashida herself, so of course I'm going to use it."
Noticing Paimon's greedy look, Ying also put his hand on his pistol to protect it.
This is her treasure, she can't let anyone touch it easily, not even Paimon.
"Hmph, if you don't want to look at it, then don't look at it. How stingy! I'll go ask Nashida if she has any more someday."
Seeing Ying actually doing this, Paimon couldn't help but feel a little angry. She had only been with Narcida for a few days. If this continued, what would she do with her meal ticket in the future.
"Well, Nashida said it herself. She got this gun by chance and she doesn't have any extra ones."
After saying that, Ying finally let Paimon touch the gun which was still a little hot, which finally calmed her down completely.
"Then let's go back quickly. We're finally going home. Yay!"
Paimeng, who had a childish nature, was easily coaxed into submission, and he began to imagine the scene of completing the task and then having a big meal with the reward.
In response to this, Ying could only smile helplessly, because she was the best partner after all.
But thinking of this, she recalled the little figure who was still waiting for her, and an irrepressible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
...
"Come on, come on, everyone who has bought tickets please get on the bus quickly. The bus to Xumi City will leave soon."
Facts have proved that after the Xumi government opened long-distance passenger transport connecting various places, people's travel has suddenly become much more convenient.
At least in Ying's opinion, with these shuttle buses, her efficiency in completing tasks is much higher than when she was in Liyue and Inazuma.
After all, running is definitely not as easy as riding in a car, so she has been riding these carriages these days to reach the destination of the mission faster and more easily.
And today is no exception.
"Every time I take these public transportations, I feel that Xumi is really great."
After getting on the carriage, Paimon started her mumbling again, sitting next to Ying.
"And these carriages are obviously specially designed. They are so long and have roofs. They are really rare."
Unlike the horse-drawn carriages used for short-distance public transportation within the city, the horse-drawn carriages used for Xumi long-distance passenger transportation are much larger.
It's not just bigger and longer, the related facilities are also intact, such as the semi-enclosed carriage, the roof that can shield against wind and rain, and the powerful power of more horses connected in series.
Such a comfortable riding experience, coupled with cheap ticket prices, has resulted in the people of Xumi often choosing to take official passenger carriages rather than other means of transportation when traveling long distances in the future.
"But these are only available after the establishment of the new Xumi. The previous Xumi was not as good as it is now."
While Ying and Paimon were still chatting, the carriage stopped at another station, and two new passengers got on and sat opposite them.
They are a man and a woman, and their clothes reflect the characteristics of the desert, but from their similar appearance, it is not difficult to tell that they should be a father and daughter.
After sitting down, the woman was very outgoing and directly joined in the discussion between Ying and Paimon.
"My name is Jie De, this is my father, and he is also preparing to go to Xumi City like you."
She introduced herself enthusiastically, with such enthusiasm unique to desert girls that Ying felt a little overwhelmed.
Fortunately, the God's Mouth on the side still took responsibility and introduced their names to each other.
Soon, when discussing the topic of Xumi's changes, several people opened up and started chatting.
At the same time, during the conversation, Ying and Paimeng also learned the other party’s purpose of going to Xumi City this time - to go to school.
According to the other party, they were originally members of the Xumi Restoration Army, but they retired from active service after the war and are currently working in Aru City, another capital of Xumi.
During this period, Jade relied on her excellent academic performance in the army and her military achievements.
So after working for a while, Jade was admitted to the newly established Xumi People's College along with many desert cadres with similar experiences.
"Ah! Xumi actually has two capitals!"
After hearing the news, Paimon was very surprised. She had never noticed this news before.
"Yes, but this is also a new setting made by Lord Grass God after the victory of the revolution."
Seeing the two foreign friends so surprised, Jade also became interested and began to introduce some of the stories behind it to them.
After all, she is about to become a cultured person. Before reporting to the rain forest, she learned all kinds of knowledge carefully, which is why she has so much to say.
It turned out that after the establishment of New Xumi, in order to highlight the equal relationship between the desert and the rainforest, Nashida specially formulated a dual capital system.
That is, on the basis of Xumi City, another capital was established in the desert, which served as the western and eastern capitals of Xumi.
Later, because there were no big cities in the desert, this honor finally fell on Aru Village, now Aru City, without any suspense.
As the capital, Arucheng naturally received a lot of resources, which is why a large number of retired cadres went there to provide support.
In addition to the material inclination, Nashida also did not forget the desert, the old revolutionary base, spiritually.
Therefore, every six months, Nashida would go to the desert openly and live in the desert for another six months to demonstrate her importance to the desert and her status as the co-lord of the two.
In this way, both sides will have their own administrative teams, each in charge of their own affairs, and can formulate the best development policies based on local conditions.
But at the same time, both must accept the leadership of the central government of the union and be managed by patriots who are loyal to the people.
Because with the help of the void terminal, the central government's decrees will not be unable to be passed on because of Nashida running around, but will instead complete the actual control of the entire Xumi.
Chapter 119 Someone Who Can Be Ying's Mother
"Such a peculiar system! We have never seen it in other countries." Jade's narration made Paimon couldn't help but exclaim again.
In their previous journey, whether it was Mondstadt, Liyue or Inazuma, they were undoubtedly unitary countries. This was the first time they had seen a dual system like Xumi.
"After all, we have to consider both sides at the same time. It is normal for the God of Wisdom to make such a choice."
The knowledgeable Ying remained calm about this. Although she was a little surprised, it was reasonable when she thought about it carefully.
For the current Xumi, if there is only one capital, it would obviously be inappropriate to place it in the desert or the rainforest, so this is the only way.
However, this also made Ying more and more curious about the God of Wisdom. After seeing so many new things in Xumi, she could no longer suppress her curiosity about him.
"Anyway, after such a war involving all the people, no matter which side they are on, there is no objection to the fact that I am a Xumi person. This is also beneficial to the country."
Jade scratched her head. Even though she had a high level of education, she still had better not speak carelessly about such profound concepts of national governance.
In a nutshell, there must be a reason why Lady Grass God did this.
"But Jade, do you desert people also go to school? I think most of the scholars in Xumi are from the rainforest."
Looking at the desert ethnic costumes worn by Jade and her father, which looked nothing like them being involved in academic pursuits, Paimon asked.
But as soon as she asked this question, the atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became tense, and everyone's eyes, including Ying, turned to Paimeng.
"What do you mean we desert people also go to school? Do we not want to study?"
Finally, after a short period of silence, Jade broke the silence with an indignant tone.
"My mother was also a scholar at the Faith Council. We would not have left the rainforest if it were not for the discrimination of the Faith Council."
After listening to all of Jade's words silently, even Ying felt speechless. She grabbed Paimon and hit her head hard with her hand.
If you can speak, say more.jpg
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I didn't know that in the previous Xumi, the rainforest and the desert had this kind of relationship. I'm really sorry."
Looking at Ying's gaze that seemed to want to eat him, and Jade's somewhat angry expression, Paimon immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly apologized to everyone.
"I'm sorry, I didn't discipline her well, and I want to apologize to everyone here."
After Ying came out to apologize, the gazes from people around her finally went away, allowing her to breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that she still needs to practice her divine mouth, otherwise, with her little head full of food, she might accidentally say the wrong thing.
"It's okay, I forgot you were foreigners, and I was a little excited for a moment."
Faced with the apologies from the two, Jade's tone relaxed, and it looked like she didn't intend to pursue the matter further.
"But you must remember this in the future. The Xumi of today is very different from the Xumi of the past. You must understand it well before you speak."
"Lord Grass God once said, 'Don't say anything that is not conducive to unity.' That's what he meant."
...
After shaking for a whole day, finally when the sun was about to set, the carriage went onto the newly repaired concrete road and began to accelerate towards Xumi City.
At the same time, there were more pedestrians and vehicles on the road, and the outlines of houses gradually appeared on both sides of the road.
All these things indicate to the passengers that the end of this journey is approaching.
"This kind of road surface is still the best. It's much more comfortable for the carriage to travel on."
Stretching, Paimon stood up from the seat next to Ying and started to get off the bus with the other passengers.
Ying looked at Jie De and the others first, and after getting a positive answer, they got off the car together.
After jumping off the carriage, Ying first stretched her sore joints, and then looked at the new friends she had met along the way.
"I haven't been to Xumi City for a long time. It has changed a lot."
Feeling the kind gaze from Ying, Jade looked around and sighed.
The last time she came to Xumi City was when she was liberating Xumi with the large army. She didn't expect that so many things had appeared in such a short period of time.
The rapid pace of development also makes her look forward to her future study and life in Xumi City.
"It's getting late. I have to report tomorrow. Let's hang out together next time we have a chance."
Although there were some unpleasant things along the way, Jade liked these two new friends very much and even made an agreement with them.
"Well, I'll definitely do it next time."
After waving goodbye to Jade and Gabriel, Ying began to think about what she should do next.
If nothing unexpected happened, Nashida should still be waiting for her in the house she rented before. Theoretically, she could just go home directly.
But I worked so hard to earn so much Mora outside, it would not be appropriate to go back empty-handed.
So after submitting the task and getting the rewards, Ying took Paimon to Baoshang Street to buy some gifts, the most important of which was date palm honey.
She knew that Nashida liked to eat this, so she bought a lot of it.
However, it was somewhat coincidental that the god of Xumi, King Xiao Jixiangcao, also liked to eat this, which made the stalls selling date palm honey very popular and made them queue for a long time.
But they finally bought the date honey, so they could go back to their rented apartment.
"Nashida, open the door, we are back."
Paimeng took the lead again. Before Ying could catch up with her with bags, she took advantage of her flying ability and started knocking on the door first.
"You are finally back. I have prepared a sumptuous meal for you. Come in and eat."
Not long after, the familiar young figure opened the door, and at the same time the smell of delicious food wafted out of the room.
"I'll help you carry your things. The tableware is over there. Don't wait outside the door."
Looking at the two dazed people, Nashida smiled motherly and began to invite them in.
"But Nashida, how did you know we were coming back? We wanted to give you a surprise."
Sitting in the child seat, Paimon started eating while asking questions to Nashida.
"This is a void terminal. We are friends, and it can show how far away the other person is from you."
Still with an extremely gentle voice, Nashida explained the reason for this dinner to Ying's somewhat dazed eyes.
"It's getting late, Ying, you should eat too, why don't you eat?"
The tiny body ran to the kitchen again, staggeringly carrying another bowl of soup and placing it on the table.
For some reason, after seeing this scene, even though it was such a young body, Ying felt an impulse in her heart.
