Chapter 57: A Signal

In the study of the house in the alley of the south city of Zealand.

Hearing Tianfang sigh and speak, the guard who was standing aside and waiting for an echo nodded subconsciously when he heard this.

He didn't notice the details, and naturally he didn't notice the subtle change in the expression on Tianfang's face when he spoke.

The guard secretly said in his heart: Lord, I still have a shadow!

It seemed to him that the Lord did not know that the guy in the carriage was so excited that he almost shouted out when he saw the pamphlet that had been delivered!

The guy who sang the opera was like a chicken blood in an instant.

Then, the guy refused to stay in the carriage in peace!

He had to come to the mansion to see the sky.

Just now, the guards intervened to restrain him, using a force that he couldn't resist.

Otherwise, the guy in the carriage would really rush to the mansion and come directly to see the sky!

This person is still of great use, and he can't hurt him, the guard knows it very well in his heart.

He didn't understand those who sang, and subconsciously felt that it was a different world.

On weekdays, other people's lives are staged on stage, and when you get off the stage, it is another side.

Although the truth of taking people's hands short and eating people's mouths is soft is also applicable everywhere, but that person's face changes so fast!

The guard thought about the man in the carriage, and couldn't help but slander in his heart, the Lord is also what he can see if he wants?!

In the southern city of Zealand, the carriage that came out of the small alley went all the way down the long street to the vicinity of the dock.

It was raining lightly, and the people who got out of the car put on their robes and hats.

Several people walked along the gangplank where the boats stretched to the shore along the river.

The man at the head was followed by several guards.

It was the most deserted time of the day at the pier, and there were no boats on the river later.

Because the busiest part of the day has passed.

A tea stall facing the pier by the river.

A middle-aged man standing inside handed a pot of hot tea to the guests who had stopped to rest.

He saw the group of people who had boarded the boat in the drizzle. There was a moment of frustration in the gaze.

He quietly walked to the table and offered the guests a rough spot for tea, and then turned back to the place where he had been standing.

Looking through the rain and looking at the distance, as far as the eye can see. He could clearly see the boat stow up its gangplank and slowly leave the dock.

There was a mist on the river, and it was still raining lightly.

The boat soon increased its speed, and the direction of travel was north, and the people at the tea stall guessed that the person in charge of the ship was planning to sail north at night.

Truth be told, very few people in South Zealand would do that.

Not to mention the dangerous shipping lanes nearby. Even if you go all the way around, night sailing must be the most experienced ship boss, and it must be a risky move that people with great courage dare to do.

Unless. The other party has a last resort or has the most important thing to rush to

As I said, when I heard the strange sound in the forest, the boy and I suddenly changed our faces.

He moved very quickly and pulled me back into the grass to the side. I saw how nervous he looked. The whole process was not word-relenting.

I waited for a moment to hide in the grass with him, but I didn't hear the sound again.

I glanced at the young man and couldn't help but whisper to him, "Young Master, did you hear it right?" ”

I did hear a strange noise, not a bird's song, not like the cry of a wild beast, but I believed I was not delusional.

"Yes, indeed."

The boy replied succinctly with three words. Glance into the distance.

The trees in the mountains are blown by the wind, and some sounds can be heard. But that voice is different!

I thought to myself, what does that voice look like?

How do I feel like it's some kind of signal!

"I said, let's go on then," after a few moments, I fixed my mind and whispered to the tsundere boy, "If it's really weird, it won't just be left at that." ”

The situation did not arise, and of course there was no point in hiding in the grass.

We can't afford to spend too much time halfway, after all, the day is very fast.

It's been nearly two hours since I came out in the morning.

The young man thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, you still follow me closely, don't fall behind." ”

When the two of them got up from the grass, I actually had an inexplicable feeling.

"Young Master, were you afraid of those people coming over just now?"

When I asked a question, I subconsciously thought of the people who appeared in the mountain village on a rainy night, and naturally there was also the leader we wanted to figure out the details - the tea garden guard, the friend of the innkeeper of Nanhua Town.

The boy nodded without hesitation

"Young Master, if we don't go back the same way, I don't know who the carriage will be cheaper!"

I followed the boy and couldn't help but ask him as I walked around.

"I left markers along the way, if the people of the Yuwen family chase after me, they should be able to take the carriage away."

The boy paused for a moment and answered me in a deep voice, and I turned to look at him in shock: "When did you stay?" ”

This guy seems to have been by my side all along, when did he leave a mark unconsciously?

"Xiaoling, when I was resting in the mountain village, you reminded me."

The young man looked at me very calmly with a natural expression.

"I don't want them to follow too closely or interfere, but when we get to the Northland and the situation is out of control, I think I need some help."

He said this more fluently, well, I said, didn't he notice anything wrong?

"You are really" I looked at him speechlessly, "Young Master, you have a few words of truth!" ”

I shook my head, a kind of frustration, a speechless frustration at this guy.

I don't know why, every time I go out, I always follow a black-bellied man, so can't I express my thoughts directly?

Senior brother is like this, tsundere boy is like this. And also

It's so tiring to get along with me!

I sighed and said like this. I can't see enough of it.

Then I thought about what would happen if all these groups of people gathered in one place when I went to the Northland?

I think about it makes my head big! Not the average big!

The young man turned his head and stared at me and said, "Xiaoling, are you angry?" ”

"No, there's nothing to be angry about." I adjusted my emotions and replied lightly.

"Young Master, I said. You will definitely have your own business to do when you go to the Northland, I was very reluctant to follow them before, but now I am watching. It should be more than that. ”

"That's right, I hesitated," the boy was so talkative at this moment, he could simply ask and answer.

He paused. His tone changed to look at me and said seriously: "But I am worried that there are too few people on the Northland side. Xiaoling, I have to keep you safe! ”

He's got so much to worry about!

I'm not worried about it myself, what is he worried about!

I raised my head and met his eyes, and after a while, I responded: "Young Master, I have a word first, I don't care what you want to do, but there is a principle." “

"Oh. Tell me about it! The boy raised an eyebrow at me, and the corners of his lips moved.

This guy has been looking at him a little strangely lately. It's awkward to look at him.

"At the critical moment, don't let irrelevant people meddle in my affairs."

"What does it matter to you," the boy said with a funny look at me.

"Okay, I won't talk to you too much," I said decisively with a wave of my hand, "try to rush to Huya Village before sunset to confirm whether it is a fishing village or not." ”

"By the way, I tend to say that that is where they are looking for, what do you think, young master?"

After saying this, I lowered my head and thought, Huya Village, and the Longyuan Lake in that stranger's mouth, how can I feel like a related place name!

Habitual thinking, dragons and tigers are easily linked.

"I have no objection."

"Xiaoling, stop here, I have something to tell you."

After walking out of the road, I saw a fork in the mountain road ahead, and the young man pulled me to stop.

I looked at him and knew it had something to do with the line.

"Xiaoling," the young man said after bowing his head in contemplation, "I asked the man of that family before I went out. ”

I knew the two of them had a separate call.

At this time, the tsundere boy told me, he must have told me clearly, and I immediately listened attentively.

"The route ahead is a bit controversial."

The young man's tone was sincere, and he looked at me for a moment and said, "One is the route you see on the west side, which is the road he told me, he used to go to Huya Village. “

Of course, he meant the uncle who gave him the bow and arrow.

"But that time, he didn't go to Tiger Cliff Village," the young man said in a changing tone, "he entered by mistake while hunting in the mountains." “

"So he was walking in the mountains for a long time."

The boy paused, glanced ahead, and then withdrew his gaze to me again.

I looked at him, nodded, and said in an affirmative tone: "Young Master, if you have something to say, just say it directly." ”

"How are you going to go, just tell me directly, no need to go around in circles.

The young man continued: "Xiaoling, let me make it clear to you, the road conditions are better over there, but there is also a disadvantage, the distance that needs to be walked is longer. ”

"If we had chosen the same path as him, we might not have been able to reach Tiger Cliff Village before dark tonight."

I believe this sentence is the point of what he wants to say, because after knowing my arrangement.

"Xiaoling, if you don't rush to the night, with the speed at which you walk with me, it is estimated that we will arrive at noon tomorrow at the earliest."

The young man said a few words, frowned, snapped his fingers, and estimated the time with me.

"There is no doubt about it, let's choose the other one!" My mind spun around and I immediately made a decision.

I really can't afford to spend time!

Other things can be discussed, mainly because I am afraid that in the period between I left Nanhua Town and now, Wang Shi will have follow-up actions.

If the time can't correspond to the time they arrived in the Northland, then does it make sense for me to toss for so long? "Of course I want us to have a smoother ride." The boy whispered to me.

"No!" I immediately objected, frowning at him, "Even if the road is in worse condition!" ”

The young man glanced at me and said lightly: "Xiaoling, you have made a choice, don't complain when you encounter a situation." "Which one is going to be miserable." I glared at him and said, "I'm going to the Northland, I can't delay too long on the road, I've already made it clear to you." ”

After I groaned, I said in an affirmative tone: "It's a pity that you don't want the carriage, but you have a lot of money, and there must be a way to get out of this place." “

The young man laughed lowly, turned his head away from me, and after a while, he answered: "Okay, you have decided, Xiaoling!" ”

I looked at the dense forest where there was almost no road, and the trees in front of me almost blocked the way.

"Look at the growth of this tree, the road is gone, I'm afraid it will be delayed for a long time to pass, the road is not wrong, right?"

Looking at the road ahead, I looked at the boy with some strange looks and asked.

"I'm also the first time to come back, but since he said that there is a way here, he shouldn't be lying to us."

The boy lifted the bow from his back, and then took the dagger from his body.

I glanced at it, and of course it was the dagger that "hanged" me outside the cave and fixed the culprit!

I looked back, and I thought to myself, this guy is going to start clearing the barricades.

Sure enough, the next moment the boy began to move.

I watched him reach out and quickly cut the block in front of me, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, the difference in strength was too great.

Although I knew that the dagger in his hand was made of extraordinary material and was a sharp weapon, to do it so easily, as he mentioned, it was also made of sweat from childhood to adulthood.

I looked away and looked at each side.

The woods in this area have a feeling of depression, I don't know if it's an inaccessible relationship, and they grow extraordinarily luxuriantly.

Slowing down, and with the teenager cleaning up, it took us about half an hour to get out of the dense forest.

It was slowly approaching noon, and so far I had walked around the area without meeting a single passerby.

I looked at the mountains in the distance, and saw that the terrain in that area looked a little dangerous, so I couldn't help but turn my head and ask the young man, "Is Tiger Cliff Village over there?" ”

The name of the village occupies a cliff character, and when you see the mountains, you will develop associations.

The young man hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, it's at the foot of the mountain, and according to him, there will be a path to pass." ”

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"Be sure," the boy said to me with a hint of hesitation in his eyes, raising his voice a little, "at least he was sure when he told me. ”

The disadvantage of me and the boy was that we came to a completely unfamiliar place, and we had to explore all the roads on our own, or make our own judgments based on the information we received from others

Walking on the mountain road, the road ahead looks much easier than the dense forest just now.

It rained in the mountains, but until now, it was a good day, the mountain wind was blowing, and the sun had come out in the morning, so the ground was not so wet.

When the boy came out of the forest, he was quite embarrassed, even if his physical strength was as good as his, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead in the winter.

Thinking that I chose this path in a hurry, I was a little reluctant to go! (To be continued.) )
