Chapter 196: Forget the time

The tables are built together at random, and a bunch of people are still gathered. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Even the people running in the inn are not strange.

If you want to come to this inn in the town, it must be commonplace for runners to see similar situations here!

The rain outside had finally stopped, and the sky looked a little foggy.

"Let's change course," the guard said, glancing at a few of his companions around him, "we might as well ...... Send a few people tomorrow morning to take a look at the various intersections leading to here. ”

The idea was originally something he had considered on the way here.

The guard said in a serious tone: "I believe that if the eldest young master arrives in the town, he will definitely choose to stay in this inn." ”

"If you haven't shown up until now, it means that someone else hasn't arrived yet!"

The guard's tone was affirmative.

The rest of the companions looked at each other in pairs, and they looked at each other silently.

With the picky personality of their young master, it must be very hard to travel in the mountains one after another, and it is inevitable that there will be dissatisfaction in their hearts.

When he arrives in the town, the young master will definitely look for a place where he can eat and live comfortably.

This is also what he meant when he sent the news in advance that he was going to meet in the best restaurant in the town when he arrived in the town.

In the eyes of the guards, it was expected.

So when I mentioned it just now, the guard had a positive expression on his face.

The guards sitting around the table whispered, "The next day or two should be the most likely time." ”

"The young master doesn't like to deal with people in the government, so maybe he will change his appearance and enter the town."

The guard shook his head disapprenously and said, "Not necessarily, or come in directly." ”

"It depends on the layout of the Zhenkou government and the inspection situation."

"You're right!"

...... The guards of the Yuwen family sat together and briefly analyzed the current environment and the situation of their little master.

Especially if a heavy rain is delayed today, according to their speculation, it is difficult to say that the little master may be trapped in the middle of the rain!

It may not be easy to brave the previous heavy rain and travel in the mountains and forests.

Don't you see people walking on the streets of the town looking for a place to escape from the heavy rain?

There can be a few people who can brave the rain to move forward, unless there is an urgent matter and cannot afford to delay.

"But our young master didn't pass on the news...... Did you meet at a restaurant? Do you still need to send someone over there to wait tomorrow? ”

It was a younger escort who asked the question.

Hearing this, someone immediately responded: "Yes, that is the place we have made an appointment with the young master, and there must be someone to guard it!" ”

...... The boy gestured to me and quietly stepped aside.

I walked up to Uncle Decay, who was sitting on the edge of the big rock, and after thinking about it, I whispered to him, "It's not strange that the terrain has changed, uncle, we've seen it more than once on the way here." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, you must have something to do with that drawbridge, right?"

After a pause in my speech, I looked at Uncle Decline and looked at his expression at the moment.

Hearing what I said, the uncle raised his head and looked at me, and finally reacted a little.

Looks like I'm right!

Maybe the assumptions I told the tsundere boy before are actually facts, and every one of them is true.

After I considered it, I looked at Uncle Decay again and said, "Since it is ruined, you have to think of other ways." ”

Uncle Decrepit looked at me, but he didn't seem to be looking at me, and that kind of look was still the soulless look I was familiar with!

The blow was so big?!

I've seen it in someone else, but it's not the first time I've seen it.

"Before entering the cave, this trip was a risky and lucky," I decided to persuade him from a different angle, "and now that the result is clear, you accept it." ”

I looked at him thoughtfully, and said in a calm tone: "Uncle, what can't you think of with such a clear truth?" ”

I looked at Uncle Decline, thought about it and said, "In other words, what you covet, others are also coveting, am I right?" ”

He gritted his teeth at the mention of aliens, and I can almost imagine the situation.

After groaning, I said, "That's right! But the terrain has changed, and the original pattern here has been destroyed, which means that no one can get it. ”

I said in a sincere tone: "Uncle, judging from the results at present, it is better than others...... For example, if those aliens take it, you can't get it, so it's better! ”

I paused in my tone and continued to him, "Uncle, in fact, it seems to me...... I don't think it's too bad! ”

I decided to give him a moment to think about it for himself.

Now that the water potential does not seem to be rising, our pressure is not so great, as long as it is not delayed for too long, it is still okay.

I stepped aside, climbed another large rock, and sat with the tsundere boy.

...... After a short conversation, our eyes continued to focus on Uncle Decline's location.

There was no movement in the passage except the sound of water.

The boy was not as patient as me, and he tried to speak out several times, but I stopped him.

"Master Da, wait a little longer, be patient!"

I looked at him in a gentle tone.

The boy frowned, but continued to wait.

I calculated in my heart that it was almost time, so I stood up again and looked at Uncle Decline and said, "Uncle, we can't delay, we have to go!" ”

After thinking for a moment, I asked him, "Do you want to do it yourself?" ”

"Uncle, the terrain here is not easy to say," I reminded him, "and if it rains again later, maybe the water level in the passage will continue to rise." ”

It's not intimidation, it's true!

Because the address structure in this area suggests that it is not so strong.

If my assumption is true, the roof of the cave will collapse if rainwater seeps in...... These are all possible.

Uncle he has to continue to wait, and he has to bear the risk himself.

The destroyed suspension bridge is a fact that he knows about it.

...... "Xiaoling! ”

The tsundere boy turned his head and stretched out his hand to me, and he and I were standing knee-deep in the water, in front of us was the deep pool that the boy had fallen into not long ago.

"Can you do it? It's better for me to take you, Xiaoling," the young man said in a serious tone as he looked at me.

I shook my head, and a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth: "Young Master, when it comes to knowing water, I don't think I will necessarily lose to you." ”

When the young man heard this, he looked at me and asked curiously, "Xiaoling, did you learn it when you were young?" ”

"Yes...... At last. I whispered back.

I turned my head to look behind me, and Uncle Decay followed me a little away.

I turned my head to look at the tsundere boy and said, "You swim ahead, so you should lead the way." ”

...... I was about to enter the water, but I suddenly changed my mind, looked at the tsundere boy and whispered, "Wait for a young master, I want to ...... I'll dive in and take a look. ”

"Master Da, you will lend me the Night Pearl."

The young man was taken aback, and immediately refused: "Xiaoling, how can this be done?" It's dangerous down there, it's not appropriate for you to go down! ”

"What's inappropriate, it won't be okay to take a look, I want to go and see, don't stop me."

After that, I snatched the night pearl from the young man's hand, and after playing with it a few times, I complained: "You have so many treasures, don't you know how many to take out?" ”

The young man looked at me with a smile and said, "Yes, bring a few more, and wait for the thieves to come to rob you!" ”

"What are the thieves afraid of," I said disdainfully, "with your kung fu, young master, you will be afraid of a few thieves!" ”

"If you dare to come and grab the eldest young master's things, you will definitely beat them to the ground, let them get out!"

I spoke logically and firmly.

Seeing the tsundere boy's satisfied expression immediately, I knew that he was very useful to what I said.

"Alright, I'm just going to take a look."

I smiled, looked at him intently, and said, "If you really don't feel at ease, you have to get your clothes wet again anyway, you might as well follow me." ”

I took the Night Pearl, took a deep breath, went down from the pool, and quickly swam down.

Within the scope illuminated by the night pearl, I did see the situation described by the tsundere boy to me.

Because I just want to make sure that you don't have to go all the way underwater.

So wait for me to see the broken suspension bridge clearly...... The thick chains knew that the boy was definitely not lying.

Of course, there is another consideration for me to do this, and I will say it again to Uncle Decay when I go up.

...... Not long after, I came up from the water.

As soon as my head is out of the water, I breathe quickly.

On the water's side of the water, Uncle Yuan always paid attention to my movements.

When he saw me go up, his eyes immediately took on the meaning of inquiry.

"Uncle, that's right, I also saw it when I went down, the drawbridge under it was destroyed, and there were a lot of stones under the water, I can be sure."

Even if it's the same scene, the same rhetoric, coming out of my mouth, it's easier to convince the uncle than what the tsundere boy said.

He looked at me fixedly, and only nodded with a disappointed expression after a moment.

......, "Young Master, let's go to the other side." ”

The three of them passed through a large area of deep pools, reached the opposite shore that the tsundere boy said, and walked into knee-deep water again.

This time we moved faster than we had before.

The water is still flowing in the same direction, but at a faster pace.

"Young Master, it looks like there may be a waterfall ahead, and we may be on a high place."

I made my own judgment in exchange for a response from the tsundere boy.

"Xiaoling, when you get to the mouth of the waterfall, I'm afraid it's a little dangerous."

The young man lowered his eyelids and looked at me after thinking, and said, "When the time comes, you should be closer to me." ”

The tsundere boy took a few steps forward, and when he thought about it, he seemed to be uneasy, turned back and grabbed my arm and said, "No, you thin arms and thin legs, in case you are washed down by the current!" ”

"I'll take you with peace of mind."

The boy grabbed my arm and led me across the water.

I glanced back, and Uncle Decrepit was still following behind, following in our footsteps.

...... We got to the gap that the teenager said.

Finally found the exit at the end of the dark and closed passage that I had been walking for a long time!

The cold wind outside blows on the body, and the legs are still in the water, which is cold to the bone!

I couldn't help but shiver again, but I felt very lucky to be able to come out!

If we hadn't made a quick decision and hadn't broken through the stone wall, or if we really had to go back the way we came, we don't know.

Thinking about the two completely different situations, I think the luck of the three of them is okay!

It's true that Uncle Decrepit didn't follow his plan to find the treasure, but my intentions and the boy's intentions are different from his, and the loss in our hearts is far less than his.

But finding an exit is a happy situation for us!

The speed of the water is already very fast.

Although the waterfall is not large, it still has some power according to the drop from the valley outside.

Outside, it was nearly evening, and until then, we had almost forgotten the concept of time.

...... The boy led me carefully past the rocks on the side of the waterfall until I reached the point where the waterfall fell and looked down.

Yes, there is a valley as far as the eye can see.

The waterfall here becomes a mountain stream and flows as it winds its way and disappears around the edge of the forest.

"Let's go down from here first, and then follow the stream, and we should be able to find the exit without any problems."

The boy looked at me after thinking about it.

"Can you connect to the official road? Gentleman? I couldn't help but ask him.

This is the key point that I care about the most, if I can't connect to the official road, I will be at a loss!

"Xiaoling, this is hard to say, we have to wait for a while to know," the young man replied cautiously, and his tone changed, "But now that the sky is slowly getting darker, we have to hurry up and go down first." ”

"It's too cold at night in the mountains, so at least dry your clothes and find a place to rest for the night."

What he said was the truth.

I can feel the temperature here is even lower than Nanhua Town, if I spend the night in the mountains and forests...... The dangerous passages have come, but you can't freeze to death in the mountains!

I immediately nodded.

...... We walked in the direction of the stream, in the woods by the stream.

The stream is like the direction of the current direction, turning all the way, and walking up the mountain path that is sometimes high and sometimes low.

The water flow is not far away, within the range of the naked eye.

I have a rough estimate in my mind, this should be the location between Nanhua Town and the next station.

But that's just my estimate.

Because when I talked to the tsundere boy, he immediately told me that according to his judgment, I was closer to the next stop.

Naturally, this is good news for us.

Everywhere you walk, you can see a dense forest that covers the sky and the sun.

Before I arrived at the official road, I could talk to Uncle Decrepit seriously about the things I had discussed with the boy.

I turned my head and stopped, waited for the uncle to approach, looked at him and said, "Uncle, I have discussed with the eldest young master before, and I have thought about your next arrangements." ”

"It's better to wait until you find a way to the official road this time, uncle, you don't want to go back to Nanhua Town!"

He looked at me, his lips moving, and he didn't answer. (To be continued.) )
