Chapter 164: Barricades in the Passage
The boy had deliberately taunted me when he was thinking about how to cross the cliff.
Not only that, but he also seemed to be playing a cliff scare trick with me at leisure.
I only realized in hindsight that it was all because he was sure in his heart!
Yes, the eldest young master is idle!
I guess he already estimated it in his mind.
He knew that it would be no problem to take me and my uncle through the cliff to the opposite passage.
Knowing that this journey is not at all as dangerous as we thought, the teenager will be so confident and so free to joke.
The seemingly casual state of the young man is a manifestation of his super confidence in his heart!
I lowered my head and thought about it, and the young man shouted out to Uncle Decline.
Our makeshift team moved forward again after passing the cliff.
The formation is the same as when walking through the cliff in the passage, there is no change.
The reasons for choosing this way of walking have already been described.
Uncle Decrepit walked at the front, I was at the end of the line, and the tsundere boy remained in the middle.
At this moment, as soon as the young man spoke, the uncle walking in front of him immediately stopped.
He looked at the young man, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, mixed with a little apprehension, and said, "Big young master, what's the matter?" ”
I think this may be the most willing time that the uncle shouted because he witnessed the amazing strength of the tsundere boy!
"I heard you have been muttering, what is the good kung fu of Xilanan," the young man paused, and then continued, "It seems that there are some other fragments of the words you can repeat." ”
As soon as the young man's voice fell, the uncle responded: "Young master, I heard everything. ”
"I've heard that there are people in the south of West Lannan who are particularly outstanding in kung fu."
Uncle Yuan pondered, looked at the young man and continued: "There are many business trips passing by in the town, and I usually walk on the street many times, and I have heard it more than once! ”
"I heard that the children of the family in the south have been trained in the family since they were young, and when they become adults"
The uncle said a few words, looked at the young man and was stunned and asked, "Isn't the eldest young master also from the south of Sealand?" ”
"Well, uncle, it's too big over there, is it strange to come from the south?"
I opened my mouth on the side, looked at the tsundere boy and continued, "Young Master, did you say that?" ”
It seems that the uncle has some doubts about his identity and the work he has revealed.
If the boy is willing to reveal his identity, he will naturally tell him the truth.
From what I have observed, and with my knowledge of the teenager, I don't think he would have done that.
Otherwise, what other reason is there to conceal along the way, based on the situation of the Yuwen family that I heard, and the pattern of the mansion in the east of Suzhou City that I saw, including those who were under the end of the tsundere.
Even the guard he sent to protect me, Ah Lai, could at least get a glimpse of it.
I believe one thing, even if he tells the identity of his Yuwen family, it will only make others jealous.
But I thought about it, and the boy didn't want to make it clear, so he would naturally have his reasoning.
After thinking about it, I thought, why don't I stand up and play a round, which can be regarded as a cover-up!
I don't know if the eccentric personality of the tsundere boy will accept my kindness!
The boy raised his eyebrows and looked at me, with a smile in the corner of his eye.
He turned his head to Uncle Decay and said calmly: "Xiaoling is right, there are more people from Xilannan, what does it have to do with me." ”
"As for what you said about good kung fu, I admit it, it's really good, and I can't help it."
The boy's tone was leisurely.
I turned my head to look at him, just in line with his gaze, and I looked away at the smug look of the guy.
He really didn't give up the chance to be a fool at all!
Although what he said is also true, uh, isn't it okay to be low-key?
I thought in my heart, and couldn't help but cast my eyes again, but the boy still looked at me and smiled, and that kind of look seemed to tell me clearly, Xiaoling, I even hid my identity, isn't it low-key enough?!
I don't know why, I just understood what he meant, I was stunned for a moment, and immediately glared at him
Uncle Ying watched the two people in front of him constantly frown, and his old face turned red.
He coughed several times and turned his back before I noticed his movements.
I was shocked to find that I was pitted by the tsundere boy again!
Such misunderstandings again and again, when is it a head!
I just hope to get out of here as soon as possible.
I think that as long as we reach the official road and find a way to get a car or hire one with the passing caravan, we will be able to go to the north as soon as possible.
When the time comes, we won't have to be with Uncle Decrepit anymore.
"What are you doing with the delay, let's move forward."
In embarrassment, I urged, and the uncle reacted faster than the teenager and immediately walked forward.
The boy looked at me, smiled and turned his head to follow.
The two of them walked in front of me, and the terrain did change a little, and as far as the eye could see, the area illuminated by the night pearl seemed much spacious.
It's still in the cave passage right now, but depending on the situation, it should go to a different realm
The three of them had been walking for about a quarter of an hour, and there was another sound in their ears.
We all stopped and listened.
Instead of listening to the movement in the distance, I simply put my ears close to the stone wall.
I noticed that the stone wall was quite dry, unlike the passage section I had walked before, and it was extremely humid in some places.
I pay attention to these subtle differences and remind myself that I still can't take them lightly.
Danger is often sudden, especially walking in this area of mountains, I don't even know how many times I have encountered traps, let alone such a strange road!
Perhaps, the next danger awaits us.
In addition to the above reasons, I also thought of the content that Uncle Decay inadvertently mentioned.
I think it has something to do with the change in terrain.
Because an earthquake will change the topography of several places, not only may it cause a collapse and block the road, but also a new fork in the road may be created in a place where there was no road before.
These are all possible, but because this road is completely the first time I have walked with the tsundere boy, and Uncle Decrepit is not an experienced person in the wild.
His memories of the cave were from that point a few years ago.
Change brings opportunities, but also dangers, and even more challenges.
If we are not prepared for the next wave of danger, we will be in a hurry and have no idea how to deal with it.
There is only one thing I keep reminding myself, and that is to calm down and be cautious!
When the boy stopped listening, his expression was similar to mine, and the old man on the side showed a look of confusion.
I wonder if the current terrain is different from what he remembers.
After a while, the young man said to me: "Xiaoling, there seems to be a water source ahead." ”
We can be sure that we are not wrong with the sound of water, at least the water source will be encountered in the road ahead.
That's a good thing, maybe there will be a turnaround.
I was overjoyed, looked at the tsundere boy and nodded, "That's good, let's continue to move forward." ”
The young man gave me a noncommittal look, and turned his gaze to the side of Uncle Decay.
The young man stared at him for a few seconds, then asked in a low tone, "Have you been here before?" ”
I knew he would confirm it again with Uncle Decrepit.
After all, the reason why the boy saved him in the first place, and when something happened later, he still listened to my words and left this person with him, because Uncle Decay had been here in the first place.
Now that I have a new situation, I will have to ask a few questions, and my handling method will be the same as his, at least I have to ask my uncle to confirm.
"I've been here before, but it's a little different."
The uncle glanced at the young man with a hesitant look, and then said, "However, I know that I have to keep going. ”
"That's fine, don't wait," I said, "it's not the first time we've encountered water on the road, so we don't have to worry too much about it." ”
I turned my head to look at the young man, pursed my lips and said, "According to what the uncle said, just go on." ”
The formation recovered in an instant, and the three of them did not stop, this time walking for half an hour.
I saw that the passage of the cave was indeed much wider, but the scope illuminated by the Night Pearl was still only the same as before.
What does that mean? It means that there is no light source at all times, and we are still in the dark passage.
I also wondered how we could walk if there was nothing illuminated!
If it were me, I couldn't imagine that kind of picture.
It seems that I have the experience of traveling alone without being in such a dangerous place.
I've walked in the wilderness before, but at least it's in plain sight.
To explore a similar scene alone, it must take extraordinary courage.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but focus my attention on the tsundere boy again, and said in my heart that his good kung fu had probably gone through countless similar trials to get to where it is today.
It's not easy for him!
I hadn't seen a panicked look on his face since I caught up with them in the cave passage, not until now.
The boy looked back at me as if he had felt something.
I immediately looked down at the road, not facing him, but I heard a muffled laugh in my ears.
I reminded myself to pay attention, this guy already feels too good about himself!
Not to mention Uncle Decline's misunderstanding, it is even worse for him to have a misunderstanding.
Uncle Bad is just a temporary teammate of our journey, and when we get to the official road, we will separate.
But this guy who walked in front of me will have to follow me to the Northland, and if he misunderstands along the way, he doesn't know what he will say!
It's not the first time I've learned about his personality
The cave passage turned again, and the three of them continued on their way, but strangely, the sound of water that had once appeared in our ears seemed to have become quieter.
I looked confused, and tried to stop and ask several times, but seeing that the other two people had no intention of stopping, I had to continue walking with them.
The uncle kept moving forward at a similar pace, and the boy followed him a little distance from him.
We didn't talk, we walked almost silently, but the footsteps of the three of us sounded very clear in a small area.
Step by step, the uncle at the front of the line suddenly stopped in place.
The boy was startled by me and immediately stopped following in his footsteps.
Looking up, it turns out that there is no road ahead!
I was amazed to see the rubble blocking the passage in front of me, which seemed to be blocking the entire passage.
What's going on? Is it a dead end?
I came back to my senses for a second, looked at the tsundere boy and asked, "What are you going to do now?" ”
As if playing a joke on us, we've come here, and suddenly there's no way out, and I can't figure it out.
Could it be that we have chosen the wrong path, or is it because of the earthquake, the terrain has changed in recent years, and the road we used to walk is no longer there?
As a result, we won't be able to get out of the passageway, which is terrible news!
Several thoughts went through my mind at once, and my thoughts were a little confused.
The young man didn't look flustered, he stood there and turned his head to look at me and said, "Wait for me to take a look." ”
He took a step, and Uncle Decrepit immediately followed, looking like he also wanted to see the pile of rubble blocking in front of him.
As far as I can tell, he doesn't quite believe that the direction he is walking in is a passage with no road.
The two of them went to the gravel pile one after the other to confirm the situation.
The boy stopped and looked up at the pile of rubble in front of him.
The entire passage was blocked, and it looked like it was very tightly blocked.
The young man observed by the stone pile for a while, then turned back to look at me and said in a serious tone, "Xiaoling, I want to give it a try." ”
"Try what?" I looked at him stunned, and the next moment I immediately responded, "Young Master, are you going to break the barrier?" ”
The boy nodded calmly, I looked at him speechlessly, and then glanced over to the pile of rubble, and I lowered my voice and said, "It doesn't look easy. ”
"It's okay to try, but if it doesn't work, think of another idea." A smile tugged at the corner of the boy's mouth, and he looked at me and said in a gentle tone.
"Okay, you've decided, what can I say," I paused, looked down at him and added, "You remember to be careful." ”
According to the personality of the tsundere boy, he has always thought about it and has to put it into action, so I don't need to stop it.
As for the danger, he himself should know the proportions and know what to avoid as much as possible, and I know these very well in my heart.
The young man walked to the pile of stones, and saw that Uncle Yuan was still trying to pull the pile of stones with his hands, and muttered to himself, and suddenly showed an impatient look.
"Don't get in the way here," the young man frowned at Uncle Yuan, and then he pointed to me at a distance in the passage behind him, "You go back and wait for Xiaoling." ”
After the young man finished speaking, Uncle Yuan did not react at all, and continued to pick up the stones on the stone pile in front of him with his hands. (To be continued.) )
