Chapter 44: You make the decision
"Young Master, did you think it was a mistake?"
I hesitated for a moment and finally couldn't hold back, looked at the tsundere boy and asked in a low voice, "Don't you see they don't know the way to the fishing village?" ”
I looked at him, waiting for an answer.
I knew that although the tempers of those two were certainly not good, and they were drunk when they couldn't talk to someone if they didn't agree with each other, the look in their eyes when answering questions didn't look like they were deceiving.
You can see it in the little details!
As far as I can tell, judging by their reactions, there is only one explanation, and that is that they really don't know!
If I really went down the wrong path with the tsundere boy, where did I start wrong?
That's what I'm more concerned about!
I have to at least say what I suspect, and if we think about it together, we might be able to figure out what the problem is!
The boy and I fell into deep thought.
After a while, the two of us raised our heads and said almost in unison, "Linzi! ”
After speaking, I couldn't help but smile knowingly, I guessed exactly as much as he guessed.
Come to think of it, only the misty forest is most likely where we have taken a fork in the road.
When I asked the mountain people for advice, whether it was the person who met me on the mountain road in the morning and invited me to have tea with the tsundere boy, or the words we met when Agui came back later.
The route they revealed was the same, and I heard that there was no fork in the road to the fishing village.
Later, I said goodbye to my uncle and aunt with the tsundere boy, came down from the mountain, and crossed the official road. Walk on the way to the fishing village.
From the places passed, only the forest was the most suspicious.
I looked at the tsundere boy for a few seconds and said helplessly, "If you think so, you may have to go back." I'm a hundred unwilling! ”
Needless to say? I had to go down the rocky slope again, and for a second I felt like a joke.
I climbed so hard before, and now I have to go back again?
It's full of black lines when you think about it!
"Xiaoling, don't worry," the young man glanced at me and said in a gentle tone, "Let's ask those two people first." Since they live nearby, they must be familiar with the mountain roads in this area. “
"I think there's probably another way."
"No," I immediately dismissed his speculation. In my opinion, this is basically non-likely.
"They don't even know the route of the fishing farm!" I paused, looked at the boy and said, "How will I know if there are any shortcuts nearby!" ”
I don't think there's any need for hope for those two guys, in my opinion. They did not deceive. I really don't know the location of the fishing village.
I can't imagine that the fishing village listens to the ordinary name, the ordinary Zhuangzi, and it is so hidden, I never thought of it!
Could it be that when I was in the mountains, I always felt that they were hiding something when I heard the mountain people talking, maybe this is what I didn't mention?
I couldn't figure it out for a moment, sighed, and looked at the two unlucky ones tied to the tree.
"Hey. Master, there's one thing I don't understand. Why do they look at you like they're going to eat you, but ignore me? ”
The young man looked at me very depressed, and after a while, he lowered his head and said, "I was the one who intercepted their mounts, and it was I who injured the two of them, and I also took out the knife and tied them with a rope." ”
"Xiaoling, you are at most a little follower, where will they care about you."
I looked at him and blinked and said, "That's not bad, I have you in front of you to do bad things, why do I feel so much lighter?!" ”
The young man almost reached out and knocked on my head, but his hand was raised, and suddenly he put it down and said, "They are looking for death by themselves, and if they come up, they will use the knife." ”
"Even though I hurt their horses, I didn't want to hurt anyone."
"I know." I nodded and looked at the tsundere boy.
The boy's face sank, and he took a deep breath and turned his head to look back at the two men in the tree.
He paused, looked up at the sky, then turned to me and whispered, "Xiaoling, I'll ask them carefully." “
He walked back, I called out to him, stood in place and looked at him calmly and said, "Young Master, I see that there is a mountain stream in front of me, can I go there?" ”
I made a gesture to trust him to understand.
The young man looked at me, and I continued: "You can just come to the question, you are used to being the young master of the Yuwen family, and you must have authority when you ask, where can I do it!" ”
People don't take me seriously, maybe when I ask, I don't even bother to take care of it!
I was a little embarrassed to look away.
"Good!" The boy responded succinctly with one word, turned his head and left.
I watched the tsundere boy hurry, and in a few moments he was at the edge of the tree.
Next, he will inevitably have the means of interrogation.
I still don't want to watch, I can't learn
Of course, the water source I said was definitely not a lie to him, nor did I mean to pretend to be perfunctory and waiting for him to leave.
While I had been hiding in the trees with him and waiting, I did see a source of water in the distance of the woods.
The interrogation was handed over to the tsundere boy, and I remembered to hurry up and clean myself up.
When I climbed up from the stone wall, I was so embarrassed!
Now, I know that I have to keep going, and it will take time to see the water source next time, so I might as well do what I want to do now.
At a distance, I could faintly hear the boy's scolding.
Speaking of which, it was the man's act of drawing the knife that annoyed the boy.
But on the other hand, after what happened to the previous group of people, they must have been frightened in their hearts, and they lost their ideas for a while.
It's just that the two sides happened to be like this.
I sighed and walked forward, as there was a mountain stream flowing over there, and it was a place to rest and stop.
As time goes on, there is still a problem in front of me!
In my opinion, according to the information currently available, it will definitely not be possible to reach the boundary of the fishing village before dark today.
What does that mean?
It means I have to be with the tsundere boy. Staying together for one night in the barren mountains and mountains is a more depressing thing to think about.
When I was deep in the mountains, I thought that such an experience was rare. Especially those who are not with Yun Chu have been replaced by other people.
When I left Suzhou, I also felt that I would never meet a tsundere boy again in my life, but I didn't expect this guy to chase after him, saying that he was going to the north together.
Life is full of uncertainties, how can I guess what will happen in the next moment?
Just like the original crossing, I just followed the school team to climb a mountain. Who would want to wake up and the whole world has changed!
I let out a long sigh, thought in my head, and quickened my pace and ran forward. Soon arrived at the mountain stream.
When I got to the stream, I squatted down and looked down at the shadow reflected on the water.
The hands of the two men were firmly trapped by the rope to the trunk of the large tree.
While the boy was leaving. They've tried hard to break free.
Strangely, the rope is not known to be made of. When you move it, it feels sturdy and hard to imagine.
They all knew that this time they might not have a chance to escape smoothly, and the two exchanged glances, a little helpless.
When the boy approached, they lowered their heads and restrained their previous hostile expressions.
Since he has no ability to break free from the shackles of others, he has to endure his emotions for the time being.
The young man approached and asked in a low voice, "Is there a shortcut in this area?" ”
He didn't ask about Yuzhuang, because there was no need to ask a second time.
Xiaoling, that guy told him. These two don't look like they're lying.
"Where is the shortcut you're asking?" The one who sprained was more lightly injured, and he took a breath and asked.
"Go to the official road. Or go to nearby Zhuangzi? ”
After thinking about it, the boy looked at them, his gaze shifting from one to the other to see who could give him the answer first
I washed my face by the stream, not daring to exert too much force.
Although the disfiguring medicine used will not fall off when touching some water, I subconsciously feel that I should be careful.
Isn't there another night to spend in the mountains?
If I don't show my flaws intentionally, I don't want to imagine that kind of picture.
I looked up beside the mountain stream, and after the cold water washed away, my mind was much clearer.
Drying the water on my face, I was thinking, if I had taken the wrong route before, this was very likely!
It means that the most direct way at the moment is that I and the tsundere boy still have to go back the same way.
When I got back into the misty forest, I looked with him for the right direction
I was so impressed by the previous scene that I knew every time that the tsundere boy showed mercy.
I wondered, what would happen if he did his best?
I think his kung fu is better than I imagined, but last time in the mountains, how could he be careless and injured?
Did he let his guard down for a while and underestimate the enemy, or did he have something else going on?
From the mountains to Suzhou, even now, he didn't mention to me the details of that paragraph.
I'm going to find a way to ask him, because I'm so curious!
Think of myself, driving a carriage in the deep mountains and being able to be recaptured by him!
The "hidden weapons" he used at that time are the ones I can see clearly today!
The tools he found easily, whether it was a small branch or a pebble on the ground, could be used as a tool by him.
The last time I was driving by myself, I naturally didn't have a chance to see what it was, but when he made a move, I tried to escape on horseback but was quickly stopped by him.
I found that in fact, it was the same every time, the tsundere boy didn't like to hurt people, or that it wasn't his intention to hurt people.
Every time he used the concealed weapon, his intention was only to stop the subject he was tracking.
"Xiaoling, why are you so fascinated? Are there fish in mountain streams? ”
The familiar voice of the tsundere boy sounded behind him, with a little smile.
I came back to my senses, turned to look at him who was standing in the mountain breeze and approached, and asked, "How is it?" Have you confessed to the two? ”
As I spoke, I looked past him and in the direction of the tree that had bound them, and saw that the two men were still tied there, just as before.
I looked back at the boy and asked, "Did they mention a shortcut nearby?" ”
I didn't ask about the fishing village, I mentioned it before, and I don't think they know.
"Xiaoling, there are two options now, I'll tell you to hear it."
After the boy finished speaking, his gaze paused on my face, and he looked at me and said in a calm tone.
"You say, young master, listen to me."
I sat up straight and watched the tsundere boy sit down on the rocks beside me and look at me.
"I asked the two of them just now, there are no shortcuts nearby, but they can still explain the way to the official road."
The young man paused, looked around, picked up a piece of dead branch, scratched a few times by the stream, he raised his head and looked at me and said, "Xiaoling, now we are in this position." ”
He drew a rough map, and my attention was immediately drawn to the map on the ground.
After I saw it clearly, I asked, "Where is the location of the official road you are talking about, oh no, they said it." ”
"Here they say!" The boy pointed with a twig and added a line to the ground.
"It's a long way, and you have to go around this mountain forest." I frowned and said, "Then if you want to go to the official road, you will have to walk for a long time."
I didn't finish what I had to say, and I silently calculated in my heart, if I wanted to walk to the official road along the route that the two men said, I wouldn't have to think about it before dark tonight, and I would definitely not be able to reach it.
Once again, I realized that we were taking a wrong route, and that there was something strange about the misty woods.
According to the map drawn by the boy, there is more than a little deviation.
I think back to one thing that Ah Gui and the mountain man mentioned, the fishing village is equivalent to a one-way street, and it is not accompanied by official roads.
Even if we want to continue our journey to the north after reaching the fishing village, we will have to go back the way we came before we can reach the official road again.
Coming back the same way again, I sneered in my heart!
"What about the second option?" I subconsciously raised my head to look at the tsundere boy and asked, "Do they have other routes, where do they lead?" ”
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, Xiaoling, the second option is for us to go back the way we came, at least back to that forest, and think about it in the long run."
Hey, there's an urge to go berserk, because of those four words.
God knows how reluctant I am to go back, but I still hope to find a shortcut.
Okay, now that the questions are laid out in front of me, the boy made it clear to me that I should discuss and make a choice.
Did you give up the line to the fishing village, and you didn't meet those suspicious people in the mountains at all?
Or do you stick to the plan you thought of at the beginning, and try to find the route to the fishing village?
The boy sat on the side and looked at me, and once again he was confronted with a dilemma.
I was hesitant to go up and down, and I always couldn't think of what to do, and I often encountered problems when I walked on the road.
I hesitated for a moment and then asked him, "Since you've made it all clear, what do you think now?" ”
"Xiaoling, you decide." The boy said in a deep voice. (To be continued.) )
