Chapter 144: Land Area

Continuing on the road, the three horses moved forward at a moderate pace. However, this time the atmosphere seemed to be much more relaxed, and everyone's fatigue seemed to be emptied.

Shen Mengting lowered her head and made a review. Indeed, as Qian Hao said, she has no interest in worrying about the feelings of the team, and everything is considered from her own point of view. In fact, everyone has opinions, but they just don't want to say it.

'Alas, my team leader seems to be a little unqualified!'

Shen Mengting moved her mouth, and she didn't forget to look at Zhao Yu who was sitting in front of her.

Suddenly, a voice came from the side. As soon as I heard that tone, it was full of Qian Hao's unique sense of oil cheapness.

"When did you change your mind! It seems that the conversation I had with the god next to you just now had an effect!" Qian Hao was sitting on horseback and twisting his body. He seemed to get a little carried away, and almost fell off his horse several times. But fortunately, he has quick eyes and hands, and he can save the day every time he is about to fall.

"Qian Hao, be careful!" Shen Mengting squinted her eyes.

"Don't worry, there's no way I'll fall off my horse. Qian Hao's smile intensified.

"If you don't fall, you won't fall, then you should go and ride your horse seriously, what are you doing here?" Shen Mengting smacked her tongue in disgust.

"Oh, I'm not asking you a question? When did you change your mind? Originally, you still looked like you would never stay in the town and go straight to Kiyose Castle!"

"Isn't that what you said!' Look at things from the team's point of view, and since everyone is tired, shouldn't they go to a small town to rest?"

Hearing Shen Mengting's reply, Qian Hao instantly smiled again, "Wow! It seems that it was my conversation that made you have a fundamental change! So...... The weight of my heart is still quite heavy. ”

"Qian Hao, you are less stinky and beautiful!" Shen Mengting glared at Qian Hao directly and fiercely, not caring about her friend's face at all, "What weight do you have in my heart." Let me tell you, every time I see you, I feel disgusted! If it weren't for your advanced archer strength, I wouldn't have been able to take you with me on my way!"

These words made Qian Hao's face freeze instantly, and it seemed that a cloud of plaster had hit him. His face tightened, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Hey, Miss Shen Mengting! You are saying something a little ugly, aren't you? Even if it is a joke, you have to distinguish the occasion." Why do you care about my face at all?"

"What's the hard story? It's just the truth!"

Qian Hao's neck shrank back suddenly, "Okay, good, good! I'm just a nuisance, all right!" he took the reins of his horse and pulled the horse he was riding aside.

It seems to make people feel like they are parting ways, and Qian Hao is becoming more and more estranged from Shen Mengting. But after the two were separated by a short distance, Shen Mengting still said 'thank you'.

"Huh?" Qian Hao was a little stunned for an instant, and he wondered if there was something wrong with his ears. Sticking his finger into the hole in his ear on one side, he dug hard at his face.

"Thank you anyway!"

Shen Mengting's words came from her heart. If it weren't for the rich man, she couldn't imagine how she would face the thorns in front of her with her two newly grown children.

"Wow! I can't have heard it wrong! The noble and arrogant Miss Shen Mengting actually said thank you to me for being such a ploppy?"

Shen Mengting instantly rolled her eyes, "Qian Hao! It seems that you also admit that you have a nickname called 'Splash Skin'!"

"Ahh But it was at that moment that he drove the horse he was riding again and approached Shen Mengting, "But I really want to ask! Why do you want to thank me!"

"You don't have to know why. But I still have to say that you are much more careful with that kid than I am. I want to thank you on behalf of this kid!" Shen Mengting said and snorted at Zhao Yu in front of her.

Qian Hao's mouth was rounded, and his neck twisted along Zhao Yu's body. In less than a second, Qian Hao straightened up as if he had exploded, "Isn't that right? He pretended to be Shen Mengting's tone, "'What do you care about the people in your team, there are other intentions'." Oh! Now I care so much about Zhao Yu! Could it be that there are other intentions?"

"I can see through your thoughts. ”

"Oh! Why is that kind of thing again!" Qian Hao smiled and raised his eyebrows, which were already a little crooked.

Zhao Yu seemed to notice that they were talking about themselves, so he turned his head and looked behind him. Qian Hao's hippie appearance and Shen Mengting's serious face were all in sight.

However, Zhao Yu didn't know what they were talking about. It was really difficult for him to understand the meaning of the conversation between Qian Hao and Shen Mengting. So, he didn't care anymore.

Shen Mengting and Qian Hao are still talking from time to time, and occasionally Jiang Jingwen will also participate in it. This girl is always doing persuasion. However, this effect is minimal.

Shen Mengting seems to have been looking at Qian Hao unpleasantly, and she wants to scold a few words intentionally or unintentionally. And Qian Hao is always like mud, and he can always bounce back his words in four or two.

In this way, the group of four people moved forward in this situation of constant talking.

Contrary to the opening and communication of others, Zhao Yu has always been silent. Without participating in a group conversation, he sat on his horse and let it go.

Listen to everyone's exchanges, whether they are joking or blushing. In short, Zhao Yu can feel the bond between everyone, which is much richer than the two people in the earliest team, only himself and Shen Mengting.

Alas, it seems that I am not good at making friends-Zhao Yu sank his shoulders in discouragement.

The team continued to move forward, and soon the sky also changed, and the gray and red colors covered the earth, as if the light was about to be taken away!

"Wow...... Ah!" Jiang Jingwen looked at the sky, "The sky is about to get dark!"

"Yes, I guess we won't be able to get out of this forest tonight!" Shen Mengting looked around alertly, and the reins of the horse in her hand were not relaxed for a moment.

"If you can't get out of this wood...... Jiang Jingwen seemed to hesitate, she seemed to be full of fear for the dark wilderness.

Shen Mengting was aware of this, and she recalled the scene when she first came out of Arakawa Town, Jiang Jingwen hugged her in fear when she saw thunder. Shen Mengting breathed out from her nose and mouth:

"Jingwen, don't worry! With me and that Qian Hao here! You don't have to be afraid!"

"Ah, I'm not afraid, I'm just thinking, where are we in the kingdom of Saran?"

was told by Jiang Jingwen like this, and Shen Mengting also took out a thin cylinder thing from her pocket. Grabbing a point in the cylinder, one of her hands quickly flicked it down.

A map is shaken out.

Shen Mengting frowned, and put the map right in front of her eyes, "Hmm......" She looked carefully at every corner of the map, "If I'm not mistaken, we should have left Arakawa Town more than thirty miles by now!"

"More than thirty miles!" Jiang Jingwen was thoughtful.

"What's the matter? Do you think more than thirty miles is a long journey?" Qian Hao couldn't help but quip.

"Yes, I used to go at most a few kilometers away with my father, that is, to get Ganoderma lucidum. But if it had been farther, I wouldn't have been!"

"That's it!"

"So I think more than thirty miles seems like a long way away!"

"Don't feel far away! Jingwen, we will have to walk a longer way in the future!" Shen Mengting straightened her chest, her mind thinking about the roads outside Qingse City.

"Really?" Jiang Jingwen raised her eyes, and her mouth bulged into a balloon. But after she shook her head, she quickly brought the horse closer to Shen Mengting, "Sister Mengting, then I have a question to ask." How big is our Saran country?"

Shen Mengting thought for a moment, "Yes...... There are ......" her upper and lower lips, constantly rubbing, "hmm...... There are more than 300,000 square kilometers!" Probably not sure of herself, she looked at Qian Hao again.

Qian Hao blinked blankly, "What do you think I'm doing?"

"It should be more than 300,000 square kilometers!"

"Thirty ...... Many...... More than 10,000?" Jiang Jingwen looked a little incredible.

"That's right, it's more than 300,000. I used to take a class on national politics, and the teacher talked to me about the size of several countries!"

Jiang Jingwen immediately dragged out a long sound of the word 'oh'. After a long time, she blinked her bell-like eyes deftly, "Then Sister Mengting! I just want to ask, what kind of country is the land area of more than 300,000 yuan in Celos? Is it big or small?"

"It's not too big, it's not too small, that's it!" Shen Mengting shook her shoulders.

"Is it an ordinary land area?"

"Yes!

"So...... What if it's not an ordinary land area?"

Jiang Jingwen's cold question pierced Shen Mengting's heart, she took a sharp breath, and her expression became much more rigorous.

"Ahh

"Jingwen, do you really need to know some countries with an extraordinary land area?" Before Jiang Jingwen could respond, Shen Mengting held her head high, "I have a country here." ”

"Oh, which one?"

Qian Hao seemed to sense the strangeness of the atmosphere, he glanced at Shen Mengting, but he never spoke.

"In fact, it is a country that everyone knows, as long as I tell it......" Shen Mengting's gaze suddenly froze, and her expression also showed an unprecedented seriousness, "You will definitely know it too!"

"Ah, what country?" Jiang Jingwen tried to ask.

The corners of Shen Mengting's mouth hooked. However, there was not a trace of a smile on her face, it was like a dead corpse without a soul, "That's it...... Sauron Empire!"

Hearing the words 'Sauron Empire', everyone's expressions also completely changed. Especially Zhao Yu, who hadn't spoken for a long time and didn't even make a superfluous move, he was overwhelmed.

"What's the matter? Are you all scared? You should all know that the Sauron Empire has a territory ten times larger than our Saran. At the same time, Sauron is also one of the most powerful countries in Cellos. ”

"Sister Mengting......"

"The reason why I say this is to let you know the current predicament of our country, and I hope you can understand how heavy your task is!"

Zhao Yu slowed down the pace of his breathing, he didn't want to make any big noise to attract the attention of others. Still, he somewhat stretched his neck.

Sauron Empire - this name is enough to make every Saranite fearful.

"Oh yes, why do you want to mention this! What warning are you going to do, why don't you wait until we get to Kiyose Castle to talk about it! Now talk about this...... It is...... It's just pouring oil on the flames!" Qian Hao hurriedly wanted to divert the topic.

"Yes, Sister Mengting! Don't mention it in this place, it's already weird and scary in the wild. ”

"Yes! If you don't mention it, you won't mention it. I'm just telling what I feel in my heart!" Shen Mengting shook her head casually, but in fact, her heart was not casual at all.

When Shen Mengting's words fell, no one answered. It was as if they were all immersed in the aftermath of the moment.

Time is quietly passing, and the sky is getting darker and darker. They move more slowly, because the road conditions at night are not very clear.

Jiang Jingwen was a little apprehensive about the current silent atmosphere, she was afraid of the dark, and she bumped into the team's silence again. Her hand holding the reins of the horse began to tremble unconsciously.

I have to find a topic!" Jiang Jingwen pursed her mouth. She looked around, wandering through the woods. Surrounded by trees one after another, they seemed to become dancing demons as the sky darkened.

This made Jiang Jingwen even more scared, and she sped up her travels.

Suddenly, it seemed that a strange object caught her attention, almost a few meters to the left of the group. She couldn't see what it was, except that it looked like an animal was lying on the ground.

What is it? Jiang Jingwen narrowed her eyes. In an instant, she had a sense of foreboding.

It looks like a person!

Jiang Jingwen continued to observe, and because she was in the woods, her vision was very blocked. Still, she tried to watch.

"Jingwen, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Jingwen's unusual behavior attracted Shen Mengting's attention, and she opened her mouth to ask.

Jiang Jingwen's eyes widened, this was to confirm whether what she saw was true. She rubbed her eyes.

"Jingwen!"

"Sister Mengting, look there!" she pointed in the direction she was looking at.

Now, she's almost confirmed. There was indeed a man lying in the distance.

"That's ...... Is there a guy lying there?"

"Huh?" Qian Hao also noticed the strangeness, and he craned his neck to look in the direction Jiang Jingwen pointed.

In less than a second or two, the team issued several 'ah' words one after another.

"There's a guy lying there!" Shen Mengting said in a confirmed tone, and she also looked left and right at her two companions.

Without reading the thought of 'don't go' from her companion's face, Shen Mengting was about to drive her horse towards that side.

"Let's go, let's see what's going on?"

A few horses' hooves sounded quickly, and they approached the man lying on the ground.

As the distance shortened, Shen Mengting could already see what was going on.

A man lay motionless in the woods. He looks to be about 1.8 meters tall and has a slender body. Because they were lying down, they could not see the man's face.

"Something must have happened!" Shen Mengting rode to the destination. Without saying a word, she jumped off her horse and began to approach the fallen man with alarm.

Qian Hao and Jiang Jingwen also arrived quickly, and they all quickly jumped off their horses. The three of them looked at each other, and then approached the man in a surround way.

Zhao Yu was still on the horse's back, and his speed of dismounting was a little clumsy. Finally landed on both feet, and he also showed symptoms of dizziness. Fortunately, he quickly overcame the obstacle and followed behind everyone.

"Who is this?" Shen Mengting looked at the man lying down, and her eyes were fierce.

"How can there be a man lying here in this wilderness?" Qian Hao was also full of doubts.

"Ahh

Injured?Shen Mengting stretched her neck, and the speed at which she approached the man also accelerated.

They all came to the side of the man, and they all crouched down alertly.

"It looks like he's really injured!" Qian Hao bent over, and he lowered his head almost parallel to the ground, just to catch a glimpse of the fallen man's face.

"It seems to be serious. Shen Mengting judged the extent of her injury in her heart.

"He has to be saved! He's very badly injured!" said the physician Jiang Jingwen.

Only then did the crowd realize that there was a physician in their ranks.

"Okay, then save it and try it first!" Shen Mengting said as she reached out to touch the man.

"Wait!I don't know who he is, if I rush to save him, I might get myself in trouble!" Qian Hao grabbed Shen Mengting's outstretched arm.

"But...... Qian Hao! We can't see that there is no life! He is a living person, we must save him!" Jiang Jingwen's tone was with rare firmness.

"......"

"Anyway, let him get out of danger first! If he is really not a good person, you can wait until he regains consciousness first!" Shen Mengting nodded at Qian Hao.

Qian Hao put down his hand at this time. It's just that his expression is still full of resistance to the fallen man.

"Ah, Sister Mengting, thank you so much. ”

"Why do you thank me? It's normal to see an injured person come to help. Turn this man over!"

When Shen Mengting's order was given, Qian Hao and Jiang Jingwen also moved the man's body to the sky. In this case, the man's posture becomes lying on his back.

It was indeed a very, very serious injury, and the man's face was bruised and purple. Not only on the epidermis, but also on the corners of the man's mouth and nose, there are dark red blood stains.

"We have to save him!" Jiang Jingwen muttered to herself.

"Water...... Water ......"

At this time, the man seemed to react a little, and his body trembled slightly. With a constant shout of 'water' on his lips, it seemed as if he only had that breath of air.

Zhao Yu was the only one in the group who did not squat, and he showed a state of confusion about the injured man.

Looking at the man's appearance again, Zhao Yu found that this person had a characteristic:

His cheekbones seemed to be very high, almost reaching the top of his eyes.

Who is this man? How could he fall in this uninhabited wood? Zhao Yu's heart was full of questions.
