Chapter 184: Hold on to some hope
Tianfang picked up his glass, took a sip and glanced in the direction of the wall. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The conversation next door still didn't mean to stop.
The guards around Tianfang also continued to listen quietly.
"I'm just the opposite of you, how can you spread those things in the house for no reason!"
Next, there was a hint of tentative interlude in his tone.
I said...... You have been in the Chengdong Mansion for longer than me, haven't you seen the young master and friends visit before? ”
The person next door paused in his tone, and then asked, "There must have been, right?" ”
"Yes, yes."
The volume from the next room was slightly lowered and responded, "That's right, everyone below said yes." ”
His tone changed, "But among those who visited, which one of them could enter the Qingyin Pavilion?" ”
"I haven't stopped, have you heard?"
"No, but ......," the unspoken words were immediately interrupted.
The speaker's tone once again took on a hint of tentativeness: "You want to tell me that it's because that person once saved our young master on the road?" So when he returned to the house, he was arranged to live in Qingyin Pavilion? ”
"That's right."
"You're thinking too simply, I said...... Have you seen that person? Although he rarely came in and out, there were many people in the house who saw him. ”
"Have you seen his appearance clearly?"
...... I looked at Uncle Decrepit and the tsundere boy not far away, sighed, and stared at the distance of the passage.
After a conversation, there is an unreal feeling.
His thoughts were a little confused, and he hadn't yet sorted them out, plus the dark and damp environment in the passage, and the water flowing through the floor of the passage nearby...... It all looked like a dream.
For a moment, I felt like I didn't know what was going on...... I thought about it, and it seemed like the strongest feeling I had ever felt since I entered the cave passage!
If people lose their composure, their judgments are often wrong, and they have to calm down first.
I took a deep breath and reminded myself to calm down!
Yes, my goal has never changed, that is, I have to find a way out, a way out from here.
I silently calculated in my mind, but unfortunately there was no obvious reference, and I couldn't even accurately judge where I was at the moment.
There are technical issues here, and it's even more difficult for me, who has been repeatedly ridiculed by tsundere teenagers as road idiots.
I pondered silently where the three of us were at the moment...... How far is it from the Northland?
All I know is that I was walking in the northeast direction.
Before I went into the mountains, I had a judgment in my heart.
I don't think the direction has been wrong, even if I go into the mountains, it's almost parallel to the official road.
There is nothing wrong with the direction from southwest to northeast.
Even when he tossed and turned several times later, and even when he had a fork in the road with the tsundere boy, the general direction was always under control, and he did not deviate too much from the initial setting.
However, after walking for a long time, and the terrain in this area is completely unfamiliar, I started to enter the deep valley, and the direction gradually became out of my control.
When I got to this passage, I was even more confused.
It is said that after the three of us entered the cave passage, we made many turns, encountered obstacles and changed routes...... All the facts add up, and now I want to say exactly where I am going, and I suddenly find that it is a difficult thing!
I wanted to ask the tsundere boy who was waiting, but I quickly dismissed the idea.
The thought in my mind turned a few times, and finally I stood up and said only one sentence.
I eased my tense expression, and given the somewhat dull atmosphere at the moment, I looked at the other two and said calmly, "In that case, let's hurry!" ”
...... Once again, our team was back to the same formation as before, but this time it was even more silent than when we were awkward.
After listening to the narration of the tsundere boy and the inside story of a few years ago further revealed by Uncle Decline, the emotions of the three of them are more complicated, and they are thinking about their hearts at this time, and they don't have time to talk out loud.
In addition to the sound of running water ringing in their ears, they walked forward, and the three of them kept walking forward.
I found the passage here to be a bit strange as well.
As I walked, I realized again the height problem that the tsundere boy had mentioned to me.
Because I gradually felt that it was changing, the position was still up and down, and the size of the passage was also changing.
In some places, it felt like I was almost reaching the top of the passage when I walked, and then I felt a lot more spacious when I turned a corner.
What's going on with this strange form? Could it be related to the unstable geological structure in this area?
I can't help but think of an earthquake, maybe the access will be blocked, and then the terrain will change again.
Walking in this kind of place for a long time will inevitably produce a feeling of depression in people's hearts.
...... Turning a corner, all of a sudden my eyes lit up.
Vaguely, I felt that the light was a little brighter.
Without thinking much about it, I immediately walked quickly to Uncle Decline's side, snatched the night pearl in his hand, and wrapped it around the hem of the strict and practical placket.
After the light of the Night Pearl was blocked, the light in the passage was visibly dimmed, but it was not completely dark.
Seeing a faint light coming through above, I was sure it wasn't my delusion!
I was overjoyed in my heart, and immediately handed the Night Pearl to Uncle Decline, turned my head to look at the tsundere boy who followed behind me and asked, "Young Master, there is light here, do we have a way to get out?" ”
Needless to say, the young man naturally saw the gap where the light came in, but he frowned and thought about it and said, "I'm not sure for the time being, I have to take a look first, Xiaoling!" ”
I nodded, and my eyes focused on the tsundere boy, and Uncle Decrepit also turned his gaze to the boy.
Both pairs of eyes stared at the boy in unison, trying to see what he would do next.
...... As we watched, the boy flew up, his hands clinging to the stone hanging from the top of the passage.
I stared up, and the gap was really small.
After a few seconds, he jumped down, looked at me and said in a serious tone: "Xiaoling, it doesn't seem to work, this stone crack is too narrow, and the rock formation is extremely thick, which is different from the situation we encountered before." ”
After a pause, he continued, "Xiaoling, it is an impossible task to open up the rock formations above. ”
He frowned and glanced at me, and explained in a soft tone: "There is one more point, Xiaoling, you look at this position, in fact, you can't use force." ”
Earlier, when we were walking in the cave passage, we heard the sound of water and thought of a plan to open the stone walls that separated us.
At that time, people could step on the ground, so they could use their strength.
But the current situation was indeed different from that time, and when the boy wanted to go up to inspect it, he had to use light skills to climb the stone near the gap at the top of the passage, and his feet were simply dangling.
In this case, as he told me, it's hard to exert force.
At the same time, the other reason he said is also very strong, because the rock formations here are definitely very thick.
Trying to break through this rock formation is certainly much more difficult than finding a weak point of stress on the rock wall.
I lowered my eyelids and thought, or in other words, the task was unlikely to be accomplished, if it were only with human power.
It is not possible to accurately determine the thickness of the rock formations.
If you hit it from a high place, the falling rocks will roll down, and the danger factor is much higher than before.
After all the consideration, I have to admit the boy's statement, others themselves are suspended and clinging to the top, and they must not be able to use their strength.
I sighed, depressed, and couldn't help muttering, "If only people could be shaped, even if it was a crevice." ”
"Xiaoling, how is it possible, you always have such unrealistic thoughts!"
The young man's eyes turned to me, he looked at me thoughtfully, and then the corners of his mouth raised: "Xiaoling, this crack on the top of our head is not a person, even a kitten can't get through!" ”
Okay, I'm just talking, I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye.
That's right, the eldest young master has never been a person who is very good at chatting, and it's too late for me to complain!
There was no way, there was no other choice, the three of us could only continue to move on.
Anyway, seeing that crack in the stone gave me a glimmer of hope.
I wonder if the next moment, there will be a hole in the stone that I told me to get out of, but I don't know!
Always move forward with some hope, give yourself some encouragement, and add some strength!
...... The conversation between the next door came to an end for the time being, and Tianfang looked out the window in a daze, a little out of state.
He didn't even hear the guard sitting across from him call him.
The guards immediately looked at their companions, and several of them all made a silent gesture to him.
The guard shrunk his neck, bowed his head and ate his food, and stopped talking.
Give your master a moment of quiet, don't disturb him, anyway, Tianfang really doesn't like others to disturb when he thinks about things.
Once you think it through, you will definitely plan your next move.
Out of their understanding of Tianfang's style, the most important thing the guards should do at this moment is to keep quiet and give their master a little time to digest what they had heard before.
The next room was silent for a long time, and when I heard the voice of the running hall, it seemed that a few more dishes were served to them, and some words were said in a colorful voice.
It seems that those dishes are all dishes that the chef of the restaurant is good at, and watching the rich guests order them, there is a bit of a sense of display.
Not long after, footsteps sounded on the stairs, and then the private room next door became lively.
Tianfang turned his head to look at the wall next door, and the guards did the same as him, paying attention to the movement next door again.
Indeed, as they guessed, there must have been more than these two people who had originally set up a private room.
Their companions seemed to have gone to the town for a walk, taking a look at the terrain.
The two men who stayed next door were staying in the private room and waiting for their companions to come and join them.
The voice was a little lively, and it was an exchange of experiences walking around the town.
Tianfang didn't say a word, and the wine glass in front of him was empty.
Seeing this, the guards hurriedly filled the wine glass again for their master.
...... "How can there be so many aliens in this town, we walk down the street, and we can meet one in a few steps." ”
The person next door said with emotion in his tone.
Just like them, when you first come to town, you will definitely be surprised by the number of aliens that appear here.
"yes, it's a little strange, is it because of the proximity to the Northland?"
As soon as the questioner's voice fell, a companion immediately answered: "A few days ago, when we arrived in Nanhua Town, we didn't see so many aliens!" ”
New questions were raised.
"Have you seen the king's men passing by?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was immediately denied by his companion.
"How is it possible, hasn't Master Wang already passed this town and gone directly to the north? Can we meet on the street? ”
"You don't have all the news, when we came here, I heard someone talking downstairs," the voice that answered the phone sounded very familiar, it was one of them who had listened to the conversation throughout the whole process, "I heard the people who drank downstairs talk about it, saying that Wang Shi left someone to arrange it in the town. ”
"This is gossip, do you believe it?"
"No, when we entered the town, weren't we interrogated, could it be that the people of the king division were mixed with the local officials?"
"Don't say it...... Maybe it is! ”
The voices came and went, and for a while, everyone in the private room where Tianfang was located was listening attentively, and whether there would be some key news mentioned next.
"So far, there is no news from the eldest young master! How long do you think we're going to wait here? ”
There was a brief silence, followed by a voice in a deliberative tone.
"In my opinion, let's settle down at the inn first, stay a few more days, and walk around the town every day."
"Don't you have to wait here in the restaurant?"
"I definitely want it, it's still the same as today, leaving two people in the restaurant."
The speaker paused and said, "After all, this is the place where our young master said we would meet, and I think the eldest young master will never change places." ”
"If he were to change the location, he would definitely find a way to pass on the message to us."
"When the young master arrives in town, it will be about ...... Will be here right away! ”
The speaker's tone was mixed with a little hesitation.
"Or go to the inn or not, then let's leave one more person at the inn."
It sounded like a consensus had been reached temporarily, and the person who spoke said in a calm tone: "There are people guarding the restaurant, there is one person left in the inn, and the rest of the people have to go to the town entrance to find out the news in addition to walking in the town." ”
"This place is too lively, there are indeed a lot of people, but fortunately, the place is not big, and the scope is much smaller than Suzhou."
"You're right, with such a small range, you will know it quickly if you have wind and grass kinetic energy."
"We've all arrived in the town, as long as we pay attention these days, we will definitely know the news of the young master as soon as possible." (To be continued.) )
