Chapter 60 It's Someone Else
"Young Master," I glanced in the direction of the backyard, then withdrew my gaze and asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do?" ”
Seeing that he didn't answer, I hurriedly said to him, "Your plan must be told to me first." “
I know that the group hasn't been here yet, but now that the boy has already spoken, I don't think they'll be too far from here.
"Don't give me a sudden, I'll find it hard to accept it then."
I reminded him that this was what I feared most about dealing with the unknown!
I'm not afraid of him making a move, but I have concerns in my heart, and I think I have to tell him first, and I have the bottom of my heart.
As for on-the-spot response and the like, it will depend on my tacit understanding with him at that time!
The boy gestured again and explained a few words to me in passing
Seeing that I understood, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a relieved gaze: "Xiaoling, just follow my plan, and there will be an answer soon." “
"Big young master, then do I stay in the front hall of this broken temple or follow you to the backyard?"
I looked at him thoughtfully, and it was imperative to ask him what to do!
"Xiaoling, you stay first," the young man said after a pause, "The direction from which those people came must be in the back mountain." ”
"Why are you so sure?" I still felt strange and couldn't help but stare at him and ask.
The boy smiled and shook his head, not answering me.
I sighed, stared at the opposite wall, and asked again, "Say, what else to do?" ”
The two men finished deliberating. I pointed to the pile of firewood on the ground, frowned slightly, and asked him seriously, "Do you want to light the fire here first?" ”
The boy thought about it and decided to listen to me.
He moved swiftly, and soon set fire to the dead branches on the ground.
The flames burst out. The temperature in one corner of the main hall slowly began to rise.
The rain hadn't fallen yet, just as he had estimated.
The young man looked at me and said in a gentle tone: "Xiaoling, I'll go to the stream to catch fish now." “
"You wait patiently here, just keep the fire and don't go away."
Hearing this, I paused, thought for a while, and said, "If they come."
The boy interrupted me and said, "If they arrive, I'll do it." You don't have to worry. ”
The young man thought about it, and came over to me and said more: "Xiaoling, if you want." It's okay to just take a nap. ”
Will I be able to sleep when he says this?
There are people chasing here, the situation is not clear, where do you have the heart to sleep!
Listen. I glared at him speechlessly. He made a gesture to pass him away impatiently.
Yes, I just waved his hand and let him go.
The strange thing is that I know that there is a crisis ahead, but at the moment, I don't seem to be nervous at all!
I don't know if it's because I trust the boy's kung fu more and think he's more than enough to deal with a few stalkers, or if I'm more confident in myself?
I thought to myself that maybe it was because I encountered too many dangers when I walked outside, and I gradually got used to it, yes. Habit!
Although he had told me that someone was coming with me in the backyard, I was shocked at first.
But a few words were discussed. My nervousness has quickly dissipated.
At this moment, thinking about what will happen next, I actually have a little expectation in my heart.
Even I thought it was a little incredible!
If the boy is not mistaken, the person who comes may be a turning point on the road to find the fishing village.
Well, let me wait and see with him!
I waited in the hall for the boy to return, estimating when the group would arrive.
After about a quarter of an hour, the boy did return, but once again he was in a hurry, and his demeanor seemed to change.
My face sank, I quickly got up, quickly stepped forward and looked at him puzzledly and asked, "Young Master, is there something going on on the back mountain?" ”
"The group has arrived?"
Seeing that he didn't answer, I tentatively asked, "Or are they too numerous?" ”
I intuitively feel that his return is not simple, according to the personality of the tsundere boy, there are few scenes of falling and running in a state of response to the enemy, and his usual choice is to face the difficulties.
"Xiaoling, something is very strange," the young man looked at me, his long eyelashes moving slightly.
He pursed his lips after thinking for a moment and said, "Xiaoling, I originally thought that those people who were following us were coming for us, but just now when I was watching in the forest in the back mountain, I realized that something was wrong. ”
When the young man spoke, his brows furrowed, and his expression was quite solemn.
I was stunned for a moment, knowing that there must be something wrong with it, so I hurriedly urged: "Young Master, what's going on, hurry up and make it clear!" ”
The young man paused, and said in a low voice, "It is true that I saw a figure from a distance, but it was not coming in our direction. ”
"Strange!" I glanced at him, and questions struck me.
You know, when the teenager mentioned it to me before, my first reaction was to think of the identity of the person who was following me.
If it was someone who was following me and him, I had imagined it in two directions.
Because I know that even if the people over there in Suzhou want to chase after them, they will definitely not be so fast.
One is that the distance on the road is obvious, and the other is that knowing the route is not the same as turning back halfway.
Let me explain, when I came out of Nanhua Town with the tsundere boy, we walked along the official road.
At that time, the road conditions were not bad, as mentioned above, there were few people on the road, the carriages were unimpeded, and we kept going in the direction of the northland.
On the way, I stopped a few times because I wanted to check the herbs on Wu Yu's father's codex to check it.
When we arrived near the mountain village, because the weather was not good, the tsundere boy discussed with me and decided to stay in the mountain village for one night to avoid the rain.
So far, if the subordinates of the Suzhou Yuwen family come as stalkers, the clues will point to the mountain village where the eldest lady's family is located.
We stayed there all night, and several people in the village met us, such as the old man and the aunt. For example, the neighbor of Agui who lives near the top of the mountain.
Next, I took a night's rest with the teenager and set off again in the morning.
I followed the path suggested by the mountain people in the direction of the fishing village.
This segment is the most difficult to follow. If you're not careful, you'll lose it!
Let's not mention the extraordinarily bumpy road, just in the misty forest, a few traces are estimated to be able to make people dizzy.
The weather is not very good, and if it rains heavily in between, the markings on the road will be disturbed by the rain.
Even if the people from Suzhou are right, they are also people who are not familiar with the road conditions, just like us.
It's the first time you've been here. I'm sure I'll follow the traces I left with the boy at the beginning all the way to the rock wall, and I'm sure I'll go up to check it out.
The markings left by that route are coherent, from the forest to the stone wall and up again!
A few twists and turns. It takes more time.
Therefore, knowing that the tsundere boy followed me, it was most likely that he would find someone from the Yuwen family in Suzhou, but I could still rule out that they were following me at the first time.
There are good reasons for the above. The chances of them catching up in time are almost zero!
They really want to track it. It would be more certain that I would get out of this area with the boy and I to the next stop on our way to the Northlands.
Excluding that line, and taking stock of the rest, there are only two groups of people who are most likely to follow.
On the one hand, the two unlucky ones we once taught a lesson, if they were unwilling to go to the rescuers, it was possible.
On the other side was the stranger I was familiar with.
The one who took a group of people to find the way in the Nanhua Town Inn on a rainy night is known as the old friend of the innkeeper and the person who guards the tea garden.
He has multiple identities. There are many doubts.
In addition, they are in the forest, and there must be a lot of time on the stone wall. It makes sense to think that we got to this area by mistake.
In summary, both lines are likely to be tracked objects.
For me and the tsundere boy, neither side is well-intentioned, and the way to deal with it is much the same.
But the situation has changed, and the current situation seems to tell us that this is a misunderstanding, that the group of people is not actually following us, but someone else.
The strange signal we heard on the road at first, could it be that they were contacting their companions?
A series of thoughts went through my mind, and I thought about it a lot for a while.
It was complicated to write, and at the time it was just a very quick analysis that I made in a short period of time.
Once again, I met the tsundere boy's eyes, and I frowned and asked, "Young Master, then according to you, what should we do next?" ”
The crux of the matter is, of course, the next action.
To deal with it, to track it down, to inquire, we all have to agree!
"You want to know?" The young man looked at me and asked in a calm tone, "Xiaoling?" ”
I calculated the time for a while, nodded and said, "It's still early at this time, we can go, but I don't count it alone, because the road ahead is definitely dangerous, and you have to be willing." “
I gave him the question, just waiting for him to make a decision, and everyone explained what they said, and they knew each other's hearts.
"No problem, just go check it out."
The boy immediately gestured to me, and I walked over to the fire and put it out first.
If you finish your business and still have nowhere to go tonight, you can't rule out the possibility of continuing to return to the ruined temple for the night.
The young man looked at me and said: "Xiaoling, don't startle the snake when the time comes, we have to see each other's movements clearly, and we must not make rash moves, after all, you and I are only two people." ”
I nodded happily and said, "Young Master, of course, our lives are much more valuable." ”
Even if he doesn't care, I understand, and I don't have the idea of being a hero!
Seeing the corners of the young man's mouth move, I felt guilty in my heart, and immediately added to him: "Big young master, the main thing is that your life is valuable, and you have to think twice before you go on an adventure." ”
"Count you as talking."
The boy didn't know what he remembered, but he was quite happy to look at it for a moment.
It's not a good thing that my life is too valuable, and if I am kidnapped, the ransom will bleed!
"Young Master, don't you think it's a little strange," I followed the tsundere boy and whispered to him about the previous situation.
"We heard that signal on the road, you and I both heard it, didn't we?"
I asked the teenager, and he turned to look at me and responded with an "um".
"If that's the case, it's probably a good chance they'll collide," I continued, a little apprehensive, "and it's strange that there was no movement later, so could it be that they had another enemy?" ”
I'll have to ask, knowing that so far I've had a lot of doubts.
Even if the boy told me that the group of people was not coming for us, I still felt very confused!
"Xiaoling," the boy said after pausing to look at me for a few seconds, "I didn't tell you, there are quite a few forks in the road here. ”
"Some of the roads are winding and winding," he explained to me in a calm tone, "for example, when I heard the signal before, it was most likely that the two routes happened to be the closest
The young man was halfway through his words, but before he finished speaking, my eyes lit up, and he hurriedly answered: "Young Master, are you saying that they have a journey that is almost parallel to the route we took?" ”
The boy frowned, as if pondering my words.
After a while, he still nodded and said, "Xiaoling, that's pretty much what it means." ”
"I see, no wonder there is no movement in the follow-up." I muttered something in a low voice, lowered my head and continued, "Actually, if you look at it this way, we should take it easy. “
The boy raised his eyebrows and looked at me!
I tilted my head and thought for a moment, and explained to him, "Because it's definitely not after you and me." ”
From the boy's analysis, it can be concluded that if he and I are not mistaken, the gang has their own things to do.
That signal has nothing to do with us, and I was so nervous before!
Without stopping, the two of them walked around the backyard of the ruined temple, went out through the gap in the back wall, and heard the sound of water after walking for a short time.
The boy told me that the place to catch fish was probably a mountain stream not far away.
If it weren't for this group of people who suddenly appeared, we might have started grilling fish by this time, and we all blame those people, uh, it's a pity!
I felt sorry in my heart, and turned my head to look at the boy.
Unexpectedly, he was also looking at me, I shook my head, lowered my voice again and asked, "Why didn't they find this ruined temple?" ”
Can I find out with the teenagers, what's the matter with them, they are so dull?!
Seeing that the rain is coming, everyone has to find a place to settle themselves!
"Xiaoling," the tsundere boy pointed to the hillside ahead, and then gestured to me a few times, "They didn't take the same fork in the road as us. ”
"The terrain on both sides of the two roads is different, and the terrain is different."
The young man pointed to the distance and tried to explain to me: "Xiaoling, we just have a hillside blocking here. “
He paused and continued: "The road they are going to take is going northeast, so the ruined temple is completely hidden in the valley. ”
I can roughly understand what the tsundere boy said.
After thinking about the picture, I knew that what he was trying to emphasize to me was nothing more than the truth about the ground drop. (To be continued.) )
