Chapter 40: An Unexpected Helper
(Today's double watch, ask for support.) )
Zhou Yan watched the carriage gradually move away in great shock.
My heart is like a tumbling wave. He felt dizzy, and even lost strength under his feet.
Just now, that person, the person who saw it through the car window, can't be wrong, that's Zhu'er!
Zhou Yan's breathing began to become heavy, and the carriage had already turned the corner.
No way! The truest feelings emerged in my heart.
Must catch up! This is the only thought that occupies my mind at the moment.
"Yo-yo, I'll go first!" Zhou Yan didn't have time to drop such a sentence, so he left Youyou, who didn't know what was going on, and started to run by himself.
Turn the corner, but the carriage is nowhere to be seen. There were several streets, and the carriage didn't know which street it was turning to.
Don't panic, calm down, calm down. I said to myself desperately in my head, but my mood was agitated.
"That, that, Mr. Yan......" Youyou, who was out of breath and chased after him, just opened his mouth to shout.
"By the way, just ask the people on the road. That kind of carriage is sure to be impressive. Zhou Yan was talking to himself, and he ran to the side of the road and began to ask passers-by.
As for poor Yoyo, he has already ignored it. Now there was only one thought in Zhou Yan's mind, which was to catch up with the carriage and then determine if the person he saw was the girl he had seen countless times in his dreams. Focusing on one point brought him to the point of ignoring external objects.
Soon, the answer was obtained from a certain passerby. Zhou Yan only had time to hurriedly say thank you, and then started running again.
However, the carriage traveled faster than he expected, and Zhou Yan had to chase all the way and ask all the way. But the delay in asking him made him farther and farther away from the carriage. Because of this, Zhou Yan's heart became more and more anxious.
Youyou could only watch Zhou Yan's figure get farther and farther away. Shuttling through the crowd is obviously nimble, and Zhou Yan is more handy.
So the distance between the two began to widen indefinitely.
Even so, Yoyo didn't give up and continued to keep up. This girl, who is obviously easy to be shy, will always show extraordinary stubbornness and strength at certain moments. From Zhou Yan's eyes just now, what she saw was shock and fear.
As for why she was shocked, why she was afraid, she didn't know. But she couldn't leave Zhou Yan alone like this.
Thinking like this, she began to ask like Zhou Yan. If you ask the passer-by for Zhou Yan's direction, it is obvious that he will soon be lost. Youyou, like Zhou Yan, asked about the whereabouts of the carriage.
Zhou Yan's heart was constantly surging with indescribable complex emotions at the moment. If that person is really what he thinks about day and night, and constantly perfects in his memory, what should he say?
Is it to tell her the confession that there was no exit back then, to make up for her regrets? Or do you want to ask her what really happened, to satisfy your curiosity?
Countless thoughts further escalated the anxiety in Zhou Yan's heart. Even the pedestrians around him who saw him consciously stepped out of the way, for fear that this powder keg, which at first glance looked like it might explode at any moment, really exploded.
In the end, the efforts of chasing all the way and even using True Qi to accelerate were not in vain. At the city gate in front, you can see that the carriage has just finished leaving the city and is slowly driving out of the city.
"Wait!" Knowing that shouting like this would have no effect, Zhou Yan still shouted out. And he accelerated again and ran towards the city gate.
However, the carriage continued to move forward as a matter of course, and Zhou Yan, when he approached the city gate at great speed, was blocked by two crossed halberds.
"Stop!"
Anyone entering or leaving the city except the lord of the castle must go through the relevant procedures. (The lord of the city is equal to the lord of the city, and you have to get in and out of your own gate with the consent of others?) )
Of course, in order to avoid congestion at the city gate as much as possible, you can also go out of the city with several relevant departments in the city to go out of the city.
But Zhou Yan, who chased all the way here, didn't have time to go through the formalities. Facing the guards' obstruction, the anxious Zhou Yan roared irritably: "Get out!" ”
and made a gesture to draw the iron sword in his hand. This is considering that Wang Yu is temporarily unusable, Zhou Yan went to the blacksmith shop to buy an ordinary long sword.
Seeing Zhou Yan's movements, several guards surrounded him, and they looked at Zhou Yan very unkindly. Winterstone City, which had just experienced the war, was actually easily stimulated now, and the guards treated Zhou Yan as an enemy without thinking when they saw him attack.
Zhou Yan, who was already about to lose his mind because of anxiety, had just pulled out more than an inch of his long sword, and he felt a strong force coming from his back. The whole person flew out in a whirlwind.
The person who kicked Zhou Yan away with a kick looked indifferent, and he couldn't see the slightest expression: "Let you wait for me, why do you make trouble again?" ”
Not only the surrounding guards, but even Zhou Yan himself was stunned for a while. When he turned around, he saw Akali wearing the costume of the Ghost Dancing Girl standing where Zhou Yan was just now. Her amber eyes, without the slightest emotion, looked at Zhou Yan, and then turned to the guards around her: "I'm sorry, my companion is acting recklessly. ”
With that, Akali took two steps towards the leading guards, but the guards all raised their weapons. Helplessly, Akali could only stop and showed her adventurer card: "We are adventurers, just now I asked him to wait here for me to go out of the city, but I didn't expect this guy to cause trouble again." ”
The leading guard suspiciously took Akali's adventurer card, and then took the formalities of leaving the city from her.
After taking a closer look at the two things, the number of people column on the exit procedure seemed a little strange, but there was nothing strange about it if you looked closely, so the guards looked at Zhou Yan again.
Zhou Yan, who was awakened by Akali's kick and began to calm down, already understood that the other party was helping him. He immediately pulled out his adventurer card and handed it over.
After confirming that the adventurer's card and the procedures for leaving the city were all right, the guard returned the things to Akali and Zhou Yan, and waved his hand impatiently: "Go out, but next time you do this, I will put you in prison for some reflection." ”
Regarding the threat of the guards, Zhou Yan, who dutifully played the role of a stunned person, glared at the other party very unceremoniously, and then was slapped on the back of the head by Akali and whispered as if he was scolding something.
The two quickly left the city gates, but by this time the carriage had disappeared.
Zhou Yan couldn't help but become anxious again, he didn't know who the girl who looked exactly like Zhu'er was, once he missed it this time, I am afraid that he would not have a chance to meet in the future.
Just as Zhou Yan was about to continue to ask passers-by, he heard Akali's voice without the slightest emotion: "What's wrong?" What is it that makes you so anxious? ”
At this time, Zhou Yan realized that he was able to get out of the city because of Akali's help. Otherwise, with his hot-headed state just now, there is a chance that he will clash with the guards guarding the city.
"That, thank you." Zhou Yan thanked him earnestly.
Akali just shook her head and signaled nothing: "No, then tell me why did you become like that, who do you seem to be chasing?" ”
Zhou Yan hesitated for a moment, but the next moment Akali's words made him decide to speak: "Maybe I can help you, after all, I have also learned the tracking technique." ”
"Actually, I saw an acquaintance, so I wanted to catch up and confirm. She is very important to me. Zhou Yanyan's solemn and serious expression has already expressed the meaning of "important".
Then, Zhou Yan couldn't help but ask, "But, why are you helping me?" ”
"After all, we are companions (of the same world), and of course we have to help each other." As she spoke, Akali smiled. But this smile is too small, I'm afraid only she knows that she is smiling.
Zhou Yan was flattered by Akali's words, of course, he didn't know that he was mistaken by Akali for someone from the same world.
"Let's talk about the details later, I actually think we can exchange information." Akali nodded and was already in a serious state: "Then, follow me." ”
With that, she had already taken a step and galloped into the forest. Zhou Yan immediately followed, and at this time, there seemed to be a call behind him, but when he turned around, he could only see the dense crowd at the city gate.
Zhou Yan shook his head and no longer cared about the vague call, his true qi wandered all over his body, chasing after Akali.
