Chapter 36: The Fog in the Mountains
I didn't think about it anymore, and put on the clothes he had just given me, and even covered my head.
In the eyes of others, I feel like I'm wearing a blanket on my body, and this look looks quite stylish!
I walked through the path next to the waterfall and saw through the mist before I could go, and the trail was covered in moss.
Because of the proximity to the waterfall, it is very wet and slippery, so you must be careful when walking around it!
Nonsense!
Because the other side is next to the abyss, to be honest, my heart trembled when I left!
I know how to water, but I don't know why, but I feel terrified just by looking at the abyss next to me.
I don't know how to describe it, I can't explain it myself, anyway, I just feel that it may not come up if it falls!
I don't like it, it's a terrible feeling!
So I walked at a snail's pace, clinging to the rocks with great care.
When I got to the other side, I took off my robe and looked very embarrassed.
I calmed down, then raised my hand with the robe I had taken off.
I looked at the tsundere boy and whispered, "Young Master, thank you for your clothes." “
Turning my head to look, I continued, "But this robe was splashed with water when it came over, how are you going to wear it now?" ”
I looked at him with some embarrassment, I really couldn't think of a better way just now.
If you go straight to it, it will be a little inappropriate if your clothes get wet. Everybody gets the idea.
"Xiaoling, I'm not as useless as you, it's not in the way."
The boy saw my embarrassment. After he finished speaking, he looked at me fixedly for a long time, and his eyes were meaningful.
I almost thought that something was wrong, and it was not good to examine it carefully in front of him.
He had not taken a few steps forward when the guy stopped and turned back.
This time, he looked at me and took the robe from my hand.
The tsundere boy took a step closer. Looking at me with his hands in his hands, there was something wrong with his eyes, and I suddenly had a very bad feeling.
Generally speaking. My gut rarely goes wrong!
"Xiaoling," he said in a serious tone, "Xiaoling, did you remember what I told you before?" “
I stared at him in amazement. I didn't react for a while. Of course, he didn't answer.
But soon, I came back to my senses and looked at him helplessly. "Xiaoling, when I was your age, **** practiced kung fu diligently, and the guards of the Yuwen family who practiced together couldn't beat me!"
"Xiaoling, it's a pity that you weren't born in the Yuwen family, that's why you made it like this. Even if your family is spoiled by you, you always have to remember that you are a boy! ”
"Xiaoling. As a boy, you always have to exercise, look at how thin and small you are, and look sick when you get drenched in the rain. ”
"Xiaoling"
I waited for him to nag for a while before I was relieved.
Every time he's in this state, to be honest, I don't really want to talk to him!
I frowned at him and said, "Hey, young master, in fact, I won't tell you, I've been worried about when you're going to come to me like this!" “
My heart has finally passed, fortunately!
He shouldn't be so nagging anymore the next road!
After calming down a bit, I looked at him and asked in a low voice, "Young Master, I said that your life in the Yuwen family is very lonely, Young Master?" ”
I stared at him for a moment and said, "How could this be?!" “
"How did you develop this personality?"
I looked at him and frowned and thought, "I think your parents owe you a younger brother or sister, so you don't have a chance to nag?" ”
Teenager: ""
"Xiaoling, what I said was for your own good."
I waved my hand at him and said in a gentle tone: "Young Master, I admit that you have a point, and I also understand your kindness!" ”
"But, you see we're still on our way right now," I said, looking back, then retracting my gaze at him and blinking, "just bear with me, and don't say anything about that!" ”
I looked at him calmly and said, "You can wait until the best time comes." ”
"Xiaoling, when was that?"
"For example, when I can't hear when I'm asleep."
The boy was silent and continued walking.
As we walked through the forest, we gradually moved away from the area where the waterfall was located, but strangely enough, the weather that had been nice changed in this valley.
The most obvious manifestation is that our field of vision has become limited and gradually reduced.
This is because the range you can see is much worse than when you didn't walk in the waterfall area at the beginning.
In other words, it is easier to understand that the field of vision is closer than it was at the beginning.
The current situation means that it is difficult to see the scenery in the distance.
Out of this forest, there is no way to know what is going on outside.
I walked with the tsundere boy without saying a word, not falling behind, and silently following until he stopped again.
I stepped forward and glanced at him, seeing the hesitation in his eyes, I asked, "Young Master, why did you stop, do you think there is a problem here?" ”
The tsundere boy frowned and said, "Xiaoling, that's right!" “
"I think there's something wrong with this place!"
The young man said in a low tone.
"Oh," I replied, surveying my surroundings, which is my habit of traveling.
As soon as the tsundere boy said something was wrong, my first reaction was to observe the surrounding environment.
You have to look at it before you can make a judgment!
Looking at the foggy in the forest, the distant landscape is not very real, could it be that what the boy said is wrong is this?
I looked at him puzzled, then pondered for a moment. He said to him, "Isn't it normal for fog to get in the mountains?" “
"I see it all the time," I said after a pause, "just slow down a little bit between walks!" ”
It seems to me that although fogging has a bit of an impact on the journey. It's mainly about the speed of travel, but it's not too much.
No matter who it is, which person walking in the mountains can ensure that the sun is always shining!
The weather in the mountains is meant to change!
Compared to the sudden heavy rain that leaves nowhere to hide, what is the starting fog?
The young man didn't answer, stood there and thought for a moment, then turned to me and said, "Xiaoling." Take a little further along. ”
He paused in his tone and continued, "You have to follow me closely. “
Temporary dominance was given to him, what did he say. I'm going to do it!
I didn't ask much, Yiyan followed him closely, and the two of them walked through the foggy forest.
As time passed, the fog in the mountains did not dissipate. And there is a tendency to get worse.
It stands to reason. The fog is at its thickest in the evening or early morning.
At the moment, the time should be noon, and it is more depressing to encounter this situation.
I muttered in my heart, walked and walked, looked at the range that I could see nearby, and before I knew it, I was distracted!
"Be careful!"
Suddenly, the boy quickly turned around and grabbed my arm and pulled me up, and I was startled. Didn't even react to what was going on.
It wasn't until the boy pulled me down on a big tree next to me that I realized the path I had just taken. Our position actually collapsed!!
There was obviously a big, big crater in the ground.
I stared at the pit on the ground in horror, and after a few seconds I looked sideways at the boy and asked, "What does that mean?" ”
He and I walked further along the path in the woods, and did not turn to a fork in the road.
But this pit is a trap at all!
If it hadn't been for the quick reaction of the tsundere boy just now, stopping in time and pulling me to avoid it, I guess he and I would have fallen into that big pit at this time!
Look at it is a very deep pit, and there is a beast trap at the bottom, if it falls, it is estimated that it will be hung in a second.
I frowned and looked at it for a while, then turned my head to look at the tsundere boy again and said, "What's the matter, it's obviously from the main road, there will be a trap for catching beasts, is it a trap for catching beasts or catching people?" ”
Because I walked deep in the mountains with my boy.
That time, I encountered a bandit who was kidnapped in a dangerous situation outside Suzhou, and after entering the mountain, he and I did see the traps set by Orion in the mountains more than once.
One thing they all have in common is that all the traps are set in the middle of nowhere.
Even if you pass through a forest, the mountain people will definitely set a trap in the corner.
How can it be placed on a road that pedestrians may pass?
It's almost like harming people!
I know that the question just now is redundant, and it is clear that the purpose of the trap on the road must be to block strangers passing by!
There was no danger, but at that moment, my state of mind changed from the previous rush of the teenager.
This change comes from seeing a trap, and it is easy to think that there must be other traps waiting in the future!
I'm staying in the tree with the tsundere boy right now.
After a short silence, he looked at me and said, "Xiaoling, you don't have to be afraid, since we all know that there are traps ahead, let's be careful." ”
"I'm curious, I want to see what they mean by getting a trap."
The young man lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "That fishing village, there must be some problems, so you have to go." ”
"You'll have to be vigilant, if we fall into the trap, we'll get hurt," I didn't want to see that happen, and my heart suddenly felt heavy, "if that's the case, it's going to take a lot of time." ”
I looked at the foggy front with some concern, and then whispered: "Young Master, you reacted quickly just now, thank you for saving me!" ”
"You don't have to see the outside like that, didn't you say that you should pay attention to the companions around you?"
The boy replied lightly.
I was still close to him, but I didn't want to stay in the tree any longer, so I urged him to find his next foothold.
Hearing this, the young man looked at me, his eyes lingered on my face, and then looked at me and said in a deep voice: "Xiaoling, I found that you are really thin and light. “
"When I pulled you just now, I felt it, and I said that you are not tall!"
A flash of vigilance flashed through my heart, who knows if that remark will be repeated?
Past experience has taught me that he usually mentions it once and then nagged after a long time.
The problem is that the current situation is special, maybe nagging can be regarded as his way of decompression!
"I'm still growing tall, I need you to say," I snorted and said hurriedly, "when I grow longer, I might be taller than you!" ”
I've got to stop him in time!
The two of them went one after the other, and the speed slowed down significantly, and the tsundere boy walked cautiously in front of him, compared to when I crossed the waterfall before.
Even if he was careful, when he walked about a dozen feet away, his expression changed in an instant, he suddenly took a step back, and repeated his previous actions again.
Because of my experience, at least this time I wasn't as frightened as he was when I was "carried" by him just now.
This time, the location of the fall was still on a big tree.
Luckily, this is a deep mountain, and the trees are tall enough to bear the weight of me and him.
I frowned and stared at the pit underground, good fellow, there were a few traps connected this time!
It's just unavoidable, the reaction is a little slower, and I don't dare to imagine the consequences!
I didn't hesitate when I heard the movement of those people last night and wondered if I was going to change the route, and I didn't hesitate too much when I met the mountain people this morning to understand the situation and put forward ideas.
But right now, just halfway through, I ran into anomalies one after another, and I admit that at that moment, I was a little shaken!
"You've decided, do you want to move on?" I turned to the boy and asked.
"Go on, don't ask anymore, just be more careful, but, what the master told you, I will definitely be able to protect you, you don't have to worry."
The boy's tone was resolute
It took about an hour just to get out of the forest.
When I saw the edge of the woods, I was relieved.
In the last few steps, I broke free from the boy's grip on my arm, and ran over and sat down on the rocks in front of me, calming my breath.
The young man followed, looked at me and said in a relaxed tone: "Xiaoling, was you scared just now?" ”
"At first, it was the first trap, and then I thought it was okay."
I said with emotion, "No wonder they left their horses and carts in front, because they knew that they couldn't ride horses behind." “
"You say, will there be more traps ahead?"
I turned my head to look at the rocky slope on the side, this time looking at the young man and asked tentatively, in an uncertain tone.
"It's hard to tell, you have to remember the route you've taken," the boy reminded me, "because we'll have to turn back." ”
"You haven't heard the mountain people say that the fishing village over there seems to be a dead end, and it is not connected to the official road, and if you want to come back, you really have to go back, but"
The boy said several words in one breath, but there was a pause at this moment.
"Go on," I wanted to hear from him, and I couldn't help urging him. (To be continued.) )
