Chapter 205: Give a piece of bark

I think that the notice posted in the town shows that the mountain people in front of me are also candidates within the scope of conscription, so I am naturally curious about his opinion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

He had come out of town, and he had seen the signs with his own eyes and heard the reactions of those around him.

That's what I all want to know.

Hearing this, the tsundere boy hesitated for a few seconds, then frowned and looked at the mountain people, and said decisively: "You don't have to pay attention to him!" ”

The "he" mentioned by the boy refers to me!

How much does he mean?

I looked over with a look of surprise.

The boy met my puzzled gaze, recognizing my question but not explaining it.

After thinking about it, he stared at the mountain people and said, "Let's tell me about the content of the notice you saw in the town......

"What I want to know are the conditions on the notice?"

The tsundere boy spoke up again, glanced at me casually, and reminded the mountain people.

His question went straight to the point.

My eyes widened in shock, I really didn't expect this.

All right! I really thought too simply, and I didn't think about it carefully from this perspective.

The king wanted to recruit people, but the people who had been summoned were intending to place them in the pioneer camp.

There is a war on both sides, and the pioneer camp is the most dangerous place!

Of course, there must be some favorable conditions to make the local people be attracted to sign up.

The tsundere boy is worthy of being a businessman in his family, and he has more opportunities to deal with silver, so he can pay attention to the key points at once.

His ideas are clearer than mine!

I couldn't help but glance at the tsundere boy more, and when I saw him raising his eyebrows and looking at me with a smug look, I immediately coughed and withdrew my gaze.

Even if I admit in my heart that he is thoughtful, I will resolutely not cooperate with his nervousness!

As I described to Uncle Decay, sometimes this guy in front of me is very self-righteous!

...... After thinking about it, the mountain people looked at the tsundere boy and said, "The notice was posted yesterday afternoon, and it was raining heavily at that time. ”

He looked at the tsundere boy with a hesitant expression and continued: "I heard that there were not many people who actually saw it at that time, but because of the relationship in the town, it ......"

The young man answered logically: "There is no shortage of small town restaurants and teahouses, as long as there is a little bit of wind and grass, it will definitely spread quickly." ”

The mountain people nodded, "You're right, it's true. ”

"So in the evening, almost everyone in the town knows about it, but this morning is the busiest time to catch the market."

"A lot of people went into the town and when they saw the signs, they fenced them off."

Hearing this, I can almost imagine the scene and the place where the notice was posted.

It's nothing more than the entrance to the town...... There are also some of the most crowded spots in town.

Naturally, the government wanted to expand its influence.

The more people who know, the faster the news spreads, and the scope expands relatively speaking.

It's easier to find the person they're really looking for.

I roughly estimated in my mind that in fact, by the end of the day, the Pioneer Camp must have had a large number of people living outside the town.

On the contrary, the common people living in the town are better off than the mountain people, and they don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, but if they really want to ask them to join the army, they will ......

Thinking of this, my eyes fell on the face of the tsundere boy, and I looked at him a little distracted to see his reaction.

However, the eldest young master was very calm at the moment, he pursed his lips and continued to the mountain people: "You continue to say what happened in the town. ”

"Well," the mountain man continued, "I've heard from the people in the circle that if you can't find all the people, maybe the people from the government will have to look for them directly from the neighborhood!" ”

In this way, the meaning of his words has changed again, and it is no longer a natural search for the law, but a mandatory one.

I frowned and looked at the young man, who said in a low voice, "If they really can't find it, they will continue in the Northlands, and it is unlikely that they will be able to make it up directly here." ”

The tone of the boy's words didn't sound very uncertain, and it was just his personal estimate.

A thought turned in my mind, and my eyes flashed as I looked at the mountain people and asked in a low voice, "Suppose that someone from the government finds you, are you willing?" ”

The mountain people immediately shook their heads and said, "Although they give money, I definitely can't go, my mother is old, and no one can take care of it." ”

"The sword on the battlefield doesn't have eyes, in case I ...... How is my mother going to live! ”

I exchanged glances with the tsundere boy, and then I asked, "The one who went to the market with you is about the same age, right, what did he say?" ”

Shanmin shook his head again and said: "He thinks the same as me, not only does he not want to go, but he also thinks that in case someone from the government comes to look for him, he plans to take his old mother to his eldest sister's house with him." ”

"His eldest sister married in Nanhua Town, which is quite far away from here, so she will avoid it temporarily."

"We passed through Nanhua Town on the way......"

As I spoke, I stopped talking because something suddenly occurred to me.

It was still early when I was in the town at that time, and I didn't even see the king, so who knows how much will happen next!

So my impression of Nanhua Town can't be used as a reference for the time being.

Due to the passage of time, I don't know if it's also recruiting people.

But the mountain people all said that his companion planned to go to Nanhua Town to take refuge, that is, in Nanhua Town...... There may not be a conscription notice!

I lowered my head and thought about it, looked at the tsundere boy and said, "Looking at it this way, I'm afraid it's not easy to gather people." ”

Listening to his narration, you can hear some clues.

"Little brother, this is not necessarily, we don't want to go, but there are people who want to go!"

After listening to this, the mountain people continued: "There are always people in the neighborhoods who want to go, such as those who owe foreign debts at home and cannot repay, or whose family members are sick and have no money to treat...... We've heard people talk about it in town, and that's pretty much it. ”

"You're right, everyone's situation is different, and only the people in the town know what is going on," I agreed, and changed my tone, "but when you left, was the registration for the town's recruitment already started?" ”

The mountain people answered: "Little brother, most of the people in the town are lively, and they haven't seen anyone who has signed up. ”

Just as I guessed.

"According to the distance, we will definitely be able to get to the town today, and we will see it when we get there."

The young man's gaze swept over the mountain people's body, and then he turned his head to stare at me and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Xiaoling, actually...... You want to know what's going on in town, and it's much more reliable to see for yourself than to listen to what others say. ”

"Well, that's what I thought." I chimed in.

...... The mountain people led us around the slopes of the mountain where the stream flowed, and saw a village at the foot of the mountain in the distance.

He raised his tone a little and said, "Little brother, that's the village where I live." ”

The village is not large, and it is estimated that there are twenty or thirty families in the scattered houses.

A hint of confusion flashed in my eyes, and I looked back at him and asked, "It seems that there is more than one road to the official road here, right?" ”

"You don't plan to go to the village, so the road I'm taking you on is indeed a farther road, but the official road is not too far from here, and it won't take long to walk there."

The mountain man explained to me, and he paused as he spoke, glancing at me and the tsundere boy and the decrepit uncle who was following him.

He seemed to hesitate for a moment, then looked at me and said, "Little brother, it will take some effort to get from the official road to the town, and it will be much faster if it were a carriage." ”

The mountain people were much kinder to me than they were to the tsundere boy.

"Little brother, when you get on the official road, it would be great if you saw a carriage on the road that could be ridden by the way."

In front of me, I could faintly see the winding official road, and I could see passers-by on the road.

As we walked down the trail, we could see clearly as if we were looking down on the official road.

...... Standing at the crossing, I looked at Uncle Yuan, thought for a few seconds, and then said to him: "Let's separate here, uncle, you go to Suzhou in the southwest, we will go to the town." ”

The boy took a few steps back and walked into the woods beside him.

When he came out, he pulled out a piece of bark like a juggling.

I froze for a moment, looked in, uh...... A piece of bark indeed.

The bark of the tree was also carved by the boy with a sharp object.

It looked familiar to me, and I thought about it carefully, and remembered that it was in the cave passage where they passed, and the boy had carved it into the stone wall, and I had seen it.

The young man handed the things in his hand to Uncle Decay and motioned for him to take them.

"You take this and hand it over to the people in Suzhou, it's more credible, so as not to make them suspicious."

After the young man finished speaking, he glanced at me, his meaning was very clear, everything that should be explained was clear, and he didn't seem to plan to talk to Uncle Decrepit much.

I knew his eccentric personality and knew that he was only acting because he had told me before, so I had to cooperate with him as much as I could.

"Uncle, when you settle down in Suzhou, you can go to Nanhua Town to inquire about the news," I paused and said to him, "Didn't your family all go south to Xilanan?" ”

"Uncle, Suzhou is a big place, no one knows you, everything can start over."

I reached out and clenched my fist and gestured to him.

...... I stood on the official road and turned my head to look at Uncle Decay's back.

The two sides were walking in different directions, and now I couldn't see him.

Because the official road turned around in the southwest direction, Uncle Decline's figure was blocked by the mountains and forests, so it was invisible.

"Young Master, did you say that when he arrives in Suzhou, he will live a good life?"

I looked at the young man and asked, I had thought about it a long time ago, and when I got to the official road, I would walk separately with Uncle Decrepit, but I would inevitably guess in my heart.

"It's hard to say this, but he took the things given by his master, and the people of the Yuwen family saw it, so they would naturally receive it well."

There was a hint of disdain in the young man's tone.

What I gave in my heart was a piece of bark carved by hand, which was a bit joyful!

"Young Master, you must still have doubts about this matter in your heart," I looked at the young man's eyes and blinked, "Actually, because I inherited the love of that Doctor Wu's daughter, there were still some things that fell into my hands. ”

When the young man heard this, his face darkened in a second.

Okay, I suddenly remembered what I just said, which seems to be a taboo for the eldest young master, and hurriedly said: "Anyway, I won't meet her in the future, we are going north." ”

"However, I thought that since the uncle is still related to them, I can help where I can, although I know you don't like the uncle very much."

"I don't like it, there are a few times on the road that I want to ......," the young man said again.

"Alright, young master, don't be so angry," I said, glancing at him, "we'll all part ways with him anyway." ”

"The next uncle's life has nothing to do with us."

"By the way, the eldest young master has something I want to ask you!"

"Xiaoling, what's the matter?"

"That's it...... After that passage is flooded, is there no way to retreat? You've swam down with me at that point, and you've been in the water longer than I have, can you be sure? ”

I frowned, and looked at the boy without blinking, and said with questions in my eyes.

Now that Uncle Decrep is gone, it is obviously much more convenient to speak, and there is no need to worry about what to hide, and I can be more frank with the tsundere boy.

I guess the answer I heard from him would be more credible.

After all, the boy's judgment is better than mine.

"Xiaoling, it seems that there is no way to retreat," he looked at me with a little surprise, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said to me in a relaxed tone, "Xiaoling, even if there is a mountain of gold hidden underneath, it is pressed by the rocks and flooded...... It is obviously unlikely that it will go down. ”

I don't know why, but I was a little happy to hear this definite reply!

The camp of the aliens in the mountains is stationed there, and from my heart, even if Uncle Decrepit once saw a treasure, I definitely don't want it to fall into the hands of the aliens who are eyeing Sealand with a lot of eyes.

Even if they would side with the empress or princess in this war in the Northland, I believe it was only a temporary drive of interest.

I had the heart to mention a few words to the young man about the previous capture of Cangyan, but before I could think of what to say, the young man reached out and pulled my arm.

He urged me: "Xiaoling, what are you rubbing, hurry up and walk, don't you want to go to the town as soon as possible?" ”

It's just not a good opportunity, and I'm afraid that this shrewd guy will ask me after hearing some rumors, so I just don't mention it.

I looked into the distance of the official road, and the weather was good, but there were few pedestrians passing by on the road.

Looking ahead about 200 meters, I saw a few people dressed as mountain people walking with things on their backs.

As for the carriage...... As we walked down the hillside, we saw a few of them on the high ground.

Unexpectedly, when I really walked down with the tsundere boy and stood on the official road, the carriage was gone! (To be continued.) )
