Chapter 345: All Latecomers
The cold wind blew, and standing at the door after hearing this sentence suddenly made people feel very cold. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After a short while, I looked at Yuan Xiu and said in a flat tone, "Thank you for reminding me." ”
"I'll take notice."
If it's a taboo thing in the house...... As someone who has just arrived here, you must be very careful.
When she was in the Sealand Palace, the empress once ordered that Penglai Pavilion was a forbidden place in the palace, and it was easy not to enter.
I didn't expect to wait until I got to the Northland, and everything remained the same.
Yuan Xiu looked at me and nodded in a friendly manner.
I adjusted my mood, a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, and I looked at her in a slow tone and said, "Yuan Xiu, you are really enthusiastic." ”
She came to me last night and brought me food.
I'm willing to run on a cold day!
Earlier this morning, she came to me again and said such a reminder.
Don't think about anything else, Yuan Xiu is really a very good girl!
I didn't expect to wait until I got to the Northlands and have a chance to meet someone like her...... I thought I would definitely go to the barracks.
I made eye contact with her, looked at her thoughtfully, and smiled again.
She turned her head unnaturally, and her gaze fell on the forest.
I called her and asked, "Yuan Xiu, you came over early in the morning, apart from this matter, do you have anything else to say to me?" ”
I always felt as if she came early in the morning, as if she hadn't finished speaking, but the girl's mind is changeable, and I can't guess.
Listening to my words, a hint of blush appeared on Yuan Xiu's face again.
I thought to myself, this girl is too shy...... I'm afraid it's because there are few people who see it.
Yuan Xiu's grandfather is to blame for this matter.
She was always locked up in the house by her grandfather who was a gardener, and she saw someone she didn't know very well...... I'm shy at every turn.
Actually, you can take her for a walk on the street! The more knowledgeable, the less restrained.
She looked like she was locked up in a deep, walled courtyard.
I thought about it, looked at Yuan Xiu and said, "If there is nothing else, I have to go back to the courtyard, Yuan Xiu, you should go back early." ”
I thought about it and said, "If your grandfather sees you running here, he might say about you." ”
Unexpectedly, Yuan Xiu suddenly looked at me with wide eyes and asked, "Xiaolin, how do you know?" ”
A blank look flashed in my eyes, I, what do I know?
Or did I guess it by accident? Yuan Xiu's grandfather objected to her running here? Estimated yes.
She lowered her eyelashes and said, "Xiaolin, what you said to me here yesterday, is it true?" ”
Yuan Xiu's words made me speechless, what did I say! It seems that the Communist Party didn't say a few words to her yesterday!
Hesitation flashed on her face, and after thinking about it, she looked at me and asked, "Xiaolin, you said you did something in the flower garden." ”
I gently patted my forehead and looked at her and said, "So what you said is true." ”
"I've really worked in flower beds and know a lot about flowers."
"The flower and plant you dug up in the forest yesterday can also be used as medicine."
Yuan Xiu and I stood in the forest and said something about the flower.
This time I'm going to be quite detailed.
Because I have already guessed what Grandpa Yuan Xiu told her.
She came to me to make sure of the matter, and I didn't think the gardener, even if he knew something about her, might not cause me any trouble.
Yuan Xiu is very friendly to me, and I can treat her as a friend.
When I met Wu Yu halfway, I said a lot!
Girls of about the same age naturally have a feeling of closeness.
I don't think there's anything wrong with it.
It's Grandpa Yuan Xiu...... The old gardener's words to her, when she repeated them, made me laugh.
People are really wary of me, or do they think I'm trying to do something wrong!
I looked at Yuan Xiu and said, "Even if I don't know anything about flowers and plants, I'm just a person who comes to the house to help." ”
"Those who can come to the mansion are all drawn from the barracks, and they are personally selected by General Han of the pioneer battalion and sent to His Majesty.
I emphasized: "Yuan Xiu, your grandfather is too defensive about people. ”
"Don't worry, I'm definitely a good person, but according to what your grandfather said, bad people will say the same, then I have nothing to say."
I looked at Yuan Xiu and said with a smile.
"Well, Xiaolin, I believe you."
After listening, she nodded vigorously.
"Yuan Xiu," I paused, "you came out while your grandfather hadn't woken up yet, right?" ”
"Then you'll have to go back sooner."
Grandpa the gardener really thinks too much, his feet are on Yuan Xiu's body, how can others stop her running here.
I remember, but I have urged her more than once to go back earlier!
...... Inside the passage, the guards stopped and reached out to touch the stone wall.
The three of them walked another way in the cave passage.
Strangely, the trio clearly felt that the temperature around them had risen again.
They walked through a completely closed passage, not like in the forest outside, where they could see the wind and grass around them, and they could also directly see the sky and feel the changes in the surrounding environment.
However, in a small space, it is precisely because people are in a special environment that they will become extra sensitive.
Needless to say, Tianfang had already noticed this.
He turned to look at the guard, who hurriedly said to the sky, "Lord, the section we walked on before was quite cold. ”
The temperature changes several times, and they all feel it, because it is very noticeable.
The guard then looked at the sky and said, "But this part of the way...... The dampness is getting heavier. ”
"Water is about to seep out of this stone wall, and the tentacles are not cold."
The guard paused and continued, "Is it close to another hot spring?" ”
The longer they walk in the mountains, the more they learn about the place.
This is not the first time I have encountered similar terrain, and I have gained a lot of experience.
Tianfang stretched out his hand and pasted it on the stone wall, withdrew his hand and looked at the palm.
He looked at the two guards and said, "There must be more than one hot spring in this mountain, and it's not surprising to come across it." ”
Almost all of the sections they walked had some connection to hot springs.
As early as in the misty forest, you can feel that because of the flow of hot spring water, the surrounding heat seems to be out of place outside the mountain.
At this time, when I arrived at a new section of the road, I encountered another hot spring heat source, which was really normal in Tianfang's opinion.
It's just that at the beginning, this passage passed through the mountain, and it was twisting and turning, and there were many changes along the way.
I don't know what the final location will look like.
...... While the three of them were entangled in the changes in the environment around the passage ahead, the tsundere boy had just passed through the dangerous cliff with the two guards below.
There were people who had already passed through this area in front of them, and they were all latecomers.
When the three of them passed by, they definitely didn't carry the tools used by Tianfang, but the young man had his own way, similar to walking in the mountains, and he used it when he was with Xiaoling.
Although the guards looked thrilling, they still passed smoothly.
When the guards reached the passage on the opposite side, they found new traces on the edge of the cliff again.
This time, without the teenager mentioning it, they both saw that this trace was left by someone passing in front of them, and it was certainly not a long time.
What they saw in the mountains many times was not a deliberate mark.
Those marks are only left along the way when they pass by, and the people walking in front of them have no worries.
So...... The trails could be easily found, at least not by the people who walked in front of them, or they didn't think anyone would follow them into such a strange area.
The boy had seen the marks in the crevices of the rocks on the edge of the cliff long before he had passed the cliff, and he could almost sketch in his mind what some kind of tool would look like.
However, in this way, the teenager's suspicion also increased.
For what reason? It was he who searched his memory so hard that he wanted to find the user of a similar tool.
But his previous impression told him that he would never be a foreigner.
The young man walked in the passageway, his pace did not stop, and he thought to himself: Could it be that the initial guess was indeed wrong?
If it is not an alien, then it is natural to think of the two sides of the battle, and the war in the Northland is implicated.
The young man pondered silently: Is it the empress's men who went to the mountains to investigate, or the princess's subordinates?
I believe that no matter which side sends manpower, it is impossible to come to the mountains for no reason.
This deep passage, moving forward in a circuitous way, what secrets are hidden ahead?
The boy thought to himself, but he didn't reveal much to the two guards who followed.
In his opinion, there is no need to discuss what has not been confirmed for the time being.
He hoped to keep up with the walker in front of him as soon as possible, and then the answer would be in front of him, needless to say.
The young man lowered his head and thought for a moment, and motioned for the two guards behind him to follow and not to be left behind.
They continued along the cave passage.
At this moment, the distance between the three young men and the people in front of them was gradually shrinking.
At the current speed of walking, there is a high probability that the two sides will meet.
Unless it's the heavens that let them find the next exit, ...... They're going to meet soon.
...... The recruit Ah Rong woke up in a daze, and opened his eyes in confusion and looked around.
There was silence in the house.
He came here last night, remembering that the attendant told him to wait patiently in this room for the female officer to come.
As a result, no one came all night, and he simply fell asleep after eating his own snacks and drinking water.
If it hadn't burned out in the charcoal brazier in the corner of the house, he wouldn't have woken up so soon after he slept comfortably!
It was the cold that prompted him to wake up, and there was no one else around.
With a puzzled look on his face as he thought about it, he got up and walked to the door, listening to the movement outside.
No one passed by, and no voices were heard...... Aron carefully pushed the door open a gap and peered through the gap.
The temperature inside and outside the house is about the same now.
The cold wind blew in, Ah Rong's sleepiness was completely dispelled, and the whole person was awake.
He pushed the door and walked out, standing in the courtyard, still a little confused.
True, he was a little confused about where he was, and he didn't know where he was in the mansion.
Thinking about the squire walking around with him last night, Aron wondered if he should go outside and have a look.
He couldn't make a decision for a while, so he had to stay in the courtyard for the time being.
Someone will come back, he thought.
Later, the person who came in from outside immediately attracted Ah Rong's attention, and he fixed his eyes to see that it was indeed the attendant who brought him with him last night.
The man looked at Ah Rong and said, "I brought you here last night, but unfortunately the adults have something to do and don't have time to ask." ”
Ah Rong looked at him intently and asked, "Do I continue to stay here and wait or ......?"
The attendant shook his head and said, "Don't wait, you go back to the courtyard today, don't you still have to repair the car?" Serious matters. ”
Ah Rong looked at the attendant, hesitated a little, and then plucked up the courage to ask, "Can I bring something to eat?" On the table in the room, there is also a ...... to eat."
Ah Rong didn't finish the dim sum on the table.
Last night, he kept in mind that Xiao Lin stayed in the yard, and he only ate steamed buns, and he probably didn't eat enough!
I thought I could go back soon, but I also thought about asking the female official for a favor.
The attendant smiled a little sarcastically, just like last night's conversation, he looked at Ah Rong and said, "If you want to take it, take it with you." ”
Ah Rong quickly thanked him, turned around and walked quickly to the house, he brought the remaining plate of snacks on the table.
When Ah Rong walked outside, he saw the attendant still standing in the courtyard waiting for him.
"You go out and turn left, then go around the rockery, go out through the west gate, see a forest and pass through the middle path, and then you come to the promenade......"
The attendant told the route again, and Ah Rong listened carefully, trying to write it down, and it slowly coincided with the route he remembered last night.
As soon as he heard the corridor, he knew that he had walked that way, and that he could make out the direction when he got there.
After explaining the route, the attendant waved his hand and signaled that he could go.
Ah Rong didn't care about any more polite words, he was in a hurry to go back to the small courtyard at this time, thinking that Master Wan and Xiao Lin were here, and he was alone outside, it would definitely not work.
Isn't it time to start repairing the carriage today? He secretly said in his heart that he had to go back as soon as possible!
...... After Yuan Xiu left, I stood by the door for a while, watching her figure disappear into the corner outside the forest.
I went back to the courtyard and closed the west door again.
Ah Rong and Master Wan have not come back at this time, and they have not come to the attendant to convey the new instructions from above, and they should be back in about a while.
I walked into the side room, took out my bag and put it on the small table beside me, then opened it and took out the small bag containing the medicinal herbs.
I plan to take advantage of this free time to start boiling the soup in the small stove first, and I will be able to drink it as soon as Master Wan returns.
This is the medicine to remove the residual poison in the body, it must be indispensable, speaking of which, he missed a meal yesterday because he had something to do.
I began to concentrate on my work, and the well water from the side had not yet run out, so I waited to continue my work.
......
(ps: There are too many things at the end of the year, so let's make a smooth transition first, and then enter the plot you want to see a few days later :)
