The subordinate looked at the sky and said, "The man on the dock said that he had a suitable boat at home, and it was parked not far away. ”

The subordinate paused and continued, "You weren't at the dock at that time. "After discussing with a few of us who stayed behind, the big guy decided to send two men to follow the boatman." "Soon they came in a ready-made boat, the same one we are sitting on now."

"Where's the boatman?"

Tianfang asked after a moment of concentration. "I asked him if he wanted to go with the boat, and he said no."

The subordinate exchanged glances with a few companions, and continued, "The boatman only said that he would dock at the next stop, and someone would answer after he got there." "Who's answering?" Tianfang asked in a low voice. "Oh, I heard it's his relative." "We thought it was okay, it would be quite labor-saving, so we gave him some money and settled it."

didn't wait for Tianfang to ask for details, and his subordinates told him the specific method of answering over there.

The man who lent the boat meant to let them wait for the dangerous road to reach the next dock, and then go ashore to the tea stall by the pier.

According to what he said, there is only one tea stall at the pier over there, and in a very conspicuous position, it is enough to hand over to the stall owner when the time comes.

After listening to the words, Tianfang frowned, he turned his head to look at Jiang Mian, and did not answer.

When he stayed in the town, his mind was full of thoughts about what he had to deal with when he got to Xilanan, and he wanted to clear his thoughts while he had leisure.

Because when you arrive in the area of the dangerous shoal, you need to keep an eye on the river at all times. I'm afraid there will be no time to be distracted.

In the link of finding a ship, Tianfang didn't have time to take care of it, and entrusted it to the people below. Now he felt that he had indeed been a little negligent.

The people below didn't know what Tianfang was thinking at the moment, and several subordinates who heard their companions talking looked at each other and said with a smile: "It's really good luck to follow the master out to do things." ”

"Last time, too, I was very lucky."

They were all in good spirits, and they didn't realize that there might be something wrong with it.

To be honest, when I was on the road before. Everyone is in a more nervous state than they are now, and they are careful in their every move, and they are also very concerned about the wind and grass outside.

Seeing that Xilanan is about to arrive. The tight strings did slowly relax as the distance shortened. "Not really! I couldn't believe it would go so smoothly before, and we didn't go well this time to find a boat at the dock where Miss Wuyu went ashore! “

"It's almost like a door-to-door delivery!"

The one who spoke said with a smug expression.

Tianfang looked at the river in front of him with a slight distraction, and his expression seemed to be very calm from the people who accompanied him. However, only he knows. A faint hint of uneasiness welled up in my heart.

After a while, Tianfang stood up, glanced at several of the entourage in the boat, and then said to them in a deep voice: "Be careful." ”

He raised his tone a few points and said, "You have to be careful when this passage passes. ”

The boy helped the old man clean up the things in the kitchen.

He had almost never done anything like this, and following Xiaoling was an exception.

Think about it carefully, every time you come out with him, which time will you encounter some problems.

The young man sighed silently in his heart, but the uncle on the side saw it. comforted him and said, "Your brother is right, what's the matter with the man's appearance." "Those women don't look down on you. It's because they don't have vision. ”

"I look at you very well!"

The young man was stunned, and the previous inexplicable feeling came up again!

He steadied himself, trying his best to ease his tense expression, and barely smiled.

He thought for a moment, then looked at the uncle and asked with a smile, "What did my brother tell you before?" Can you tell me about it? ”

The uncle felt a little strange, but of course he truthfully repeated what he said before.

After listening to this, the young man breathed a little heavier, but his eyes were staring straight at the opposite wall, and he stood by the stove for a long time without making a sound.

In the next conversation, he was simply absent-minded, and he didn't have the heart to listen carefully to what the uncle was saying.

The boy has only one thought in his head - that guy Xiaoling!!

After the kitchen was cleaned up, the young man gritted his teeth vigorously before leaving, and whispered to the uncle, "Please don't tell my brother about what happened just now." ”

"I understand, you are afraid that he will worry, the two brothers are very good." The uncle nodded subconsciously, and his tone was emotional.

The boy listened, his brow furrowed, and he waited for a moment, then went out of the kitchen door and walked out into the courtyard.

The cold wind outside was blowing, and I was much more awake in an instant.

He wandered around a few times, stopped in the middle of the courtyard, his deep eyes fell coldly on the brightly lit room in the courtyard, and stood in the courtyard and looked quietly, "Nanhua Town, you are the second patient I see." “

A smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, and I slowed down my tone to look at my eldest lady and smiled: "I met my old neighbor when I was a child in the teahouse in the town. "There are people in her family who have similar symptoms to you," I paused and continued, "It's all bad legs and feet, don't worry, this is a common symptom, it's not uncommon everywhere, and there are many people." "There's a lot of humidity in the mountains, there's no way to do it," the eldest lady frowned and muttered to herself.

Her tone sounded rather helpless.

She reached out and slapped her leg a few times and said, "You're right, almost everyone in our area who is a little older will have this kind of thing." “

The eldest lady sighed, looked at me and changed the subject, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes and asked me: "As an apprentice in the medical hall, can I stop halfway?" You want to go to the Northland to find someone, and the master of the medical hall will let you go with confidence? “

I froze for a moment, my expression looked very uncomfortable, I paused when I heard the words, thought about it for a while, and even thought about the things I knew about the hospital in the past.

I forgot about it, and I didn't think about the flaws in it when I said it earlier.

But it doesn't matter, it's good to be round now.

Besides. The aunt is just curious to ask, and may not ask about the details of the medical hall!

So, after thinking about it, I said to the eldest mother: "The medical hall is opened by a distant relative of my family. It's also a related person, and it's better than the average apprentice. "This time I'm going to the Northland to find someone, and my family agreed," I glanced out the window, then retracted my gaze, "I'm not going to hide it, I'm pretty good at the infirmary." “

The corners of my mouth tugged at each other. With a somewhat casual tone, he said lightly to the eldest lady: "If you change to someone else, it may not be so easy." “

When the eldest lady heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "Look, it must be, a very good child!" “

Listen. I shook my head, looked at her a little embarrassed, and said, "Auntie, I can tell you this." “

I thought for a moment, pursed my lips, and said, "If my eldest brother hears it outside, maybe he will still talk about me." "How so. Didn't he just praise you? “

The eldest lady glanced at me. Then he said to me. "My eldest brother said it casually, he didn't really praise me."

I hesitated for a moment, then lowered my eyelids and thought for a long time before I spoke.

"No, it won't!"

After a while, I raised my head and snorted, "He can't even look down on my three-legged cat medical skills, and he hid a little injury last time and refused to show me." “

At night, the people in Tsing Yi were still trekking the path in the forest.

After a while, a fork in the road appeared in front of me, and the wet and muddy paths in the mountain forest led in different directions.

Except for the road he took when he came. There are also two roads that lead in different directions.

The man in Tsing Yi stood under the tree, staying where he was, unable to make up his mind.

He doesn't seem to have walked through this area. At least for now, he searched in his memory and couldn't find anything like it.

What does that mean? It means that it is very likely that he went in the wrong direction the previous trip.

The man in Tsing Yi looked ahead, lowered his eyelids and thought, his mind thinking fiercely, trying to find a way to deal with it.

I can't remember it, but it's really an area that I haven't walked through.

After a few moments, he looked left and right, and finally made a decision.

In fact, those two paths look similar, and sometimes you can really just try your luck.

The people in Tsing Yi were worried that it would rain again in the middle of the night, so they had to take advantage of the fact that they still had enough physical strength in front of them to hurry up and walk forward for a while.

He chose one of the paths, and most of it was a matter of luck

The mountains and forests are dense, and the road is extremely slippery because of the rain.

The road chosen by the people in Tsing Yi walked for about half an hour, and they felt that the road conditions were really not ideal.

However, if we turn back now, the road we have just taken will be in vain.

He thought to himself, because it was the path he chose, he could only insist on going forward for a while to see if he would be lucky.

In fact, when he was inquiring about the road, he saw a faint light in front of him.

But now that his physical strength is declining, he is a little puzzled whether what he saw before is real or his own delusion!

The man in Tsing Yi held a branch that had been broken off from the tree in his hand, and when he encountered a place blocked by weeds, he used the branch in his hand to pull it away!

Walking through a muddy swamp, the man in Tsing Yi was now stained with a lot of stains.

He sighed, and walked on, and after about half an hour, he heard footsteps in the forest in front of him.

The man in Tsing Yi raised his head and looked in the direction from which the voice came.

He heard a slight sound from someone walking through the woods, stepping on dead leaves and fallen branches.

As he approached, the steps in the forest paused for a moment.

The man in Tsing Yi was immediately alert, not knowing if it was a human or some other beast over there.

The doubts didn't last long, and soon out of the forest was a man dressed as a mountain man.

The man was about forty years old and tall.

The man in Tsing Yi stood and looked at him, and saw that he was carrying a bow and arrows on his back, which looked like the kind made by the mountain people.

Judging by his attire, it should be a mountain man living nearby, and he still has prey on his back, which is clearly a person who hunts in the mountains all year round.

A little distance away, the hunter stood still and looked at the man in Tsing Yi.

The two looked at each other, and the people in Tsing Yi clearly saw the vigilance in each other's eyes.

"Big brother," he immediately smiled, and said to the man, "I'm passing through, I'm getting lost in the mountains, and I can't find the direction, can you give me some pointers." ”

The people in Tsing Yi felt that good luck had come again, and they tried to make themselves look as friendly as possible.

After a few words, he saw that the expressions of the mountain people on the other side were slowly relaxed, which meant that he had let go of most of his vigilance.

"How did you get here?" The mountain people asked him.

"Big brother, I took a car to the Northland, but I didn't expect the car to break down halfway, and the people in the same car were waiting in place, I couldn't wait, so I left first."

The man in Tsing Yi turned his mind and said fluently: "At first, I walked on the official road, but then I thought that I might be able to get closer by walking on the small road." ”

"A few years ago, I went to Northland, and I also took a hitchhike at that time, and I saw that the handlebar style was copied from a shortcut."

The man in Tsing Yi said in a low voice: "I searched for it based on my impression, but I didn't think about the right way, and I fell lost in the mountains." ”

"If I hadn't run into you, I wouldn't know what to do tonight!"

The man in Tsing Yi said earnestly to the mountain people.

Seeing that the mountain people nodded, as if believing their words, the man in Tsing Yi paused for a moment.

After a while, he continued: "I am not familiar with this area, and I have walked for several hours, and it has rained heavily in the middle. ”

"I saw all the mountains and forests at a glance, and I didn't see the village, and I didn't even see anyone passing by, so I was worried!"

The mountain people walked in front, which was regarded as a leader, and the man in Tsing Yi behind him followed him closely, but he was separated by a person.

Walking on the path, only his own voice was heard.

After a while, the mountain people stood still, glanced back at him, their eyes stayed on his face for a while, turned their heads and pointed ahead: "It's not far, over this mountain, it is the village." “

Tsing Yi people complained bitterly, and they had to be a mountain away! "I met people here last month," the mountain man paused and continued to look at the man in Tsing Yi, "It's similar to what you said." “

When the mountain people speak, they have an accent mixed in this area, which sounds a little different from the dialect of Nanhua Town, but fortunately, they can still roughly understand it.

"Big brother, when I get to the village, can I stay at your house for one night and leave tomorrow morning?"

After thinking about it, the people in Tsing Yi couldn't help but ask the mountain people.

Hearing this, the mountain people suddenly stopped.

He had been walking, and suddenly stopped, which caught people off guard, and the man in Tsing Yi almost bumped into him and was startled.

He didn't understand what was wrong with what he just said, and the other party would have such a big reaction.

The mountain man shook his head and stared at him and said, "My house is very broken, you are from the city, you may not be used to it." ”

The man in Tsing Yi was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, and said curtly: "Big brother, what are you talking about, what kind of city am I from, I am from Nanhua Town." ”

"How can I not get used to it, I can do it in the wilderness, if not" The man in Tsing Yi suddenly stopped, and secretly said that it was not the meaning of the mountain people who were rejecting themselves.

His mind turned, and he didn't know how to take it for a while.

The mountain people were very practical, and then said: "Some people in the village have big places, which are better than mine. "When you get to the village, I'll help you ask." (To be continued.) )
