Yuan Xiu stayed in the greenhouse for a long time, until when she walked outside, she found that it was raining. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

She looked up at the gardener's room, where the lights had gone out.

The gardener should be asleep.

Yuan Xiu held an umbrella alone and wandered on the path next to the flower garden.

Before she knew it, she had walked into the woods.

Yuan Xiu saw from a distance that the lights were still on in the small courtyard where the craftsmen lived.

She believed that on a night like this, there would always be someone who felt the same way as her.

Xiao Lin doesn't know what is going on now?

The night guards in the courtyard do not reach the area where the flower beds and craftsmen's yards are located.

Therefore, Yuan Xiu can walk back and forth at night, without worrying about someone suddenly appearing in front of her.

When she walked farther away from the flower garden, she felt a little inappropriate in her heart, and she was worried about bumping into others, so she turned around and turned back.

Yuan Xiu walked through the woods, and suddenly saw a figure flashing in the distance.

The shadow swept across her field of vision so fast that she didn't have time to see who the other person was.

But the clothes of the attendants in the house were different from those of the maids, so she had an impression.

It's so late, the attendant who appeared in a remote corner of the mansion shouldn't be......

Yuan Xiu stood in place, she couldn't help but shudder, she couldn't think much about it, she quickly left that place.

As she grows older, she will have her own opinions on some of the gardener's sayings and practices.

Sometimes, Yuan Xiu's point of view is different from that of his grandfather.

But there is one point, the gardener repeatedly reminded her of the taboo places in the house, but Yuan Xiu remembered those words very well.

...... Walking outside the flower garden, Yuan Xiu saw that the lights in the courtyard were on again.

The gardener heard the sound outside, and went to the door of the house, leaning against the doorframe and staring out the courtyard.

When Yuan Xiu walked in, he was relieved to see the little granddaughter with an umbrella.

Then the gardener thought for a moment, and his tone slowed down considerably.

"Ah Xiu, tomorrow morning, you go to inquire about the news, the craftsman in the small courtyard has not been found."

Is this a softer attitude?

Yuan Xiu thought about it in his heart, looked at the gardener and nodded, "Grandpa, I will go, I will ask early in the morning." ”

She froze down, looked at the gardener and said, "I don't think the people in the small courtyard may know, I will go to Lady Liu's side to ask when the time comes." ”

The gardener stared at her for a moment, then turned his head and whispered, "Ah Xiu, go to bed early, Ming'er's affairs will be discussed when the morning dawns." ”

...... At dawn, the light shone in through the window.

The rain outside has stopped.

I opened my eyes and glanced at the mottled roof.

I've always known that the climate in the mountains is changeable.

Sometimes it looks like it's raining endlessly, but after half an hour, maybe the weather in the mountains will clear again.

It's rare that this rain lasted all night.

I looked at the mountains and forests outside, intending to leave quickly, so I quickly sorted out the things in the house.

Actually, there's nothing to sort out.

It's just the burden that has been put down.

It's hard to thank the man who brought me here for being so thoughtful.

I pushed the door open and went out, and there was a valley surrounded by mountains.

As far as the eye can see, it is surrounded by lush mountains and forests.

I was wearing the same outfit I wore when I left Northland, the last moment I wore in my street impressions.

When I went out with Master Wan, I changed into casual clothes.

However, the person who left me here prepared a set of clothes for me, which can be said to be careless.

There are still such kind-hearted people in the Jade Pavilion?!

It was a surprise to me.

I thought that as long as Chen Yuqing's subordinates were in step with him and their methods were the same, they should be very disgusted with me in my imagination!

Someone is willing to show mercy, I really didn't think about it.

The climate here seems to be a bit warmer than in Northland.

It dawned on me that maybe I wasn't too close.

Where I'm staying now, though...... Where exactly?

I looked around and decided to take a short walk along the mountain trail, wondering if I could find a village nearby.

Even if I can't find a mountain village, as long as there are people passing by on the road, I can go up and ask them to determine where I am now.

...... The roads in the rainy mountains are very difficult to walk, especially some of the rugged trails that are almost untraveled in the mountains.

After the heavy rain, the marks left by the carriage were completely nowhere to be found, and I could only find my way by feeling.

As I walked through the mountains and forests, my mind was still thinking about the chaotic moment in Northland.

Now, I have reason to believe that the chaos at that moment was most likely man-made.

Because if there is no chaos, even if the other party drugs me, it is very risky to take people away from the town.

Only grasp the moment of chaos.

It will be easier to take advantage of the situation to get out of control at the right time and find an opportunity to take advantage of it.

The people of the Jade Pavilion must have been planted in the town a long time ago!

They can even ambush people around the empress...... It is not difficult to find the right location in the town and deploy the control personnel in advance.

But...... Could the fire in the artisan shop be man-made?

At that time, Master Wan was still in the shop.

Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to ask him in person, and I think he must have seen it clearly.

As for his safety, I'm not too worried.

I think the people from the Jade Pavilion are coming for me, and Master Wan should be able to leave the burning shop smoothly.

The artisan's shop was right next to the street, and it ran out of it...... It's not hard!

My mind turned to the scene where the waiter in the teahouse had a conversation with me.

That's right, from his point of view, he actually gave me the opportunity to choose.

I remember...... Didn't he ask me if I would like to leave Northland?

How did I answer then?

I categorically rejected his suggestion, and I made it clear to him that I had a reason to stay in the Northland and stay in the house.

Approximately my decision is a prerequisite for bringing subsequent results.

He asked, and I just rejected him!

Even if I ask the same question a second time, my answer will still be the same.

...... In my impression, when I walked in the mountains around Suzhou with the tsundere boy, the scene I saw was also close to the feeling here.

Similar mountains and forests look similar, and they are also remote places.

I'm looking forward to finding a place to stay and hide at least before nightfall.

After nightfall, if you walk alone in the mountains, it is really terrifying!

I remember that even when the tsundere boy was around, he had to choose a cave to stay.

Deep in the mountains and dense forests, at this moment, I hope to meet even the mountain people who are hunting in the mountains.

At least someone can show me the way!

Turning a muddy slope, I walked down the brighter hilltop.

The place where I stayed was in the valley.

I hope that I can see the mountains and terrain of this area from a longer perspective.

The sun shines through the cracks in the trees.

I kept walking, slowly walking through the dense forest to the heights.

During the day, the sun shines brightly, and it is relatively warm, and the temperature difference in the mountains and forests is ...... One morning and one night, the gap is huge.

I reminded myself that I had to find a suitable place to rest before nightfall, otherwise I would be alone in the mountains.

If it rains, you can get drunk just thinking about it!

I walked along the depths of the woods that stretched out as far as the eye could see.

The light from the foliage flickered in and flickered, but it was clear that my position was gradually moving towards the top of the mountain.

I cheer myself up, no matter how bad the situation is, I've been there.

What's more, on the surface of the facts of experience, when it seems to be in a desperate situation, another path will appear.

The so-called willows and flowers are bright, this is the truth!

...... When the sound of water rings in my ears, I feel refreshed.

It's still some distance from the top of the mountain, but the sound sounds like a waterfall.

I quickened my pace and walked in the direction from which the sound of the water came.

I wanted to see if there were any mountain dwellers living nearby when I got close to the waterfall.

Maybe if you're lucky, it's possible to see one or two nearby mountain people.

You can't give up hope!

...... I gradually felt the humidity around me get heavier and the sound of the water became louder, which meant that I was slowly approaching the waterfall.

When I turned a few big trees and followed the sound, I saw a waterfall hanging in the mountains not far away.

My heart moved, and I quickened to get closer.

When I got closer, I saw that there was a clear and deep pool of water at the bottom of the waterfall.

I washed it briefly by the pool, and the water was still cold to the bone.

I touched it in my bosom and took out the small box that the master had given me that I had kept until now.

After hesitation, I put it back and didn't open it.

When I get to a place where people are around, I'll plan again, and I can't use it right now.

I don't even know how long I'm going to have to walk in the mountains!

One thing, I didn't expect.

Originally, I thought that when I found an opportunity to go to the camp of the Sealand army on the front line, maybe I would be able to use what my master had given me, but now I was taken to a mountain far away from Northland.

It meant that my original plan had to be abandoned, and I had to find a new way.

Once you've figured out how far away you are from Northland, plan what to do next.

I straightened up my clothes.

...... After about a quarter of an hour by the waterfall, I continued in the direction of the other side of the waterfall.

There were still no traces of footprints on the muddy path in the forest ahead.

The surrounding area is always a quiet mountain forest, and no one passes by.

...... The road on the mountain is really not easy to walk because of the rain.

When I turned the corner and followed the trail to another seemingly low forest, my coat had been cut several times by the branches.

As a last resort, I had to stop and take the dagger from my baggage and use it as a tool to temporarily widen the road.

After walking a little way, I felt like I was running out of strength, but I noticed something terrible.

Because before I knew it, I was already walking in the direction of the downhill.

The fork in the road by the waterfall took me away from where I had been, and the dense forest around me looked wilder than before.

At critical moments, I always cheer myself up, just stop and go, and when I am tired, I lean on the trunk of the tree and rest for a while.

After walking for about an hour, I finally saw that there seemed to be a path ahead, not the one I had taken before.

It is a path that has been stepped on by someone and stepped out of the mountains and forests.

...... Stopping at the edge of a bush, I was sweating in the winter.

It's too tiring to walk all the way, and you have to carve out the road by yourself because of the obstacles along the way.

When I got here, I was running out of energy.

I picked a rock by the bush and sat down for a while before I began to look at my surroundings.

At this point, I walked along the path, and I didn't see a place to stay.

As for the ...... I'm looking forward to meeting The strangers walking in the mountains didn't even see it.

I think this area is very remote, and you may not be able to see people until it gets dark.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sit there and sigh.

I was still a little happy when I saw someone stepping on the path before, but at this point, it was a little bit exhausted.

...... It wasn't until what appeared to be a village at the bottom of the hillside ahead that I regained my spirits.

I was trying to cheer myself up, and I had to keep walking, even if it was slower!

I picked up my pace again and walked towards the location of the village.

When I reached the village at the foot of the hill, I suddenly stopped.

When did this seem to have been felt?

Thinking about it carefully, I immediately thought of the scene I had encountered when I left Suzhou halfway.

At that time, I followed the group of dart players, as my temporary teammates, and everyone built bridges on the stream together.

As a pedestrian passage between Suzhou and Nanhua Town, it is impossible to do without that bridge.

I remember that the men of the dart board took me to the foot of the hill in a car because I had helped to heal their wounded companions.

Yes, there was an abandoned village at that time, similar to what we saw.

Thinking about it at this point, I suddenly lost interest.

Looking at a village that is not angry at all, how much better can it be compared to walking in a barren mountain!

I thought about it and kept walking.

The journey time is very long, and the physical exertion is large, so it is good to be a temporary place to settle down.

No matter how dilapidated the houses in the village are, they can at least shelter from the wind and rain.

On the way, I stopped, looked around for a moment, and then continued on.

...... Entering the deserted village, I looked at the mottled and peeling walls and deserted courtyards, and came to a conclusion......

It is clear that the villagers here have been relocated for a longer period of time than the last time I saw them.

I don't know how far this area is from the official road.

Last time, I was in a deserted village near Nanhua Town because the terrain was too low, but the location was very good, just near the official road.

Many business travelers will take a break in the village.

Along the way, I took a closer look at this village, and it was indeed very dilapidated!
