Chapter 12: Let things be left to him

I'm willing to marry, but there have to be beautiful women who are willing to marry!

I looked down and laughed a few times, causing the tsundere boy to look at me in confusion.

His eyes were so focused, as if to confirm the truth of what I said.

So this man doesn't know what I'm doing.

By his actions, I was even more sure that he must not have looked at my baggage carefully.

Very good, I was immediately relieved! "Isn't it just a bad prop?!"

I thought about it for a moment and smiled at him: "It's okay to say that we are passing by, but we are just staying overnight." “

I thought for a moment, considered the details, and added to him: "If the host has scruples and finds it difficult to keep strangers at home."

"It's not convenient to sleep in the house, and I can deal with it in the stove," I paused, my eyes rolled on the tsundere boy's face, and I continued to meet his gaze, "The earthen stove in the mountains can still make a fire, and it's not cold at all to sit next to it." “

I imagined that scene for a moment, and it wasn't necessarily bad! "Maybe I'll be able to get something to eat, if the host agrees." I think about it, and I'm in a good mood.

I can't help it, I have to find something happy by myself, and I have to comfort myself!

As soon as the words fell, the tsundere boy heard my words clearly, and his eyes lit up visibly in an instant.

I can feel the change in his mood all around him, and I must have been infected by me! "Xiaoling, the food you cooked in the mountains last time was delicious."

For a moment, he slurred. It seems to be recalling the previous experience when I happened to be in the mountains with him.

Of course, he was talking about the dinner I helped my aunt cook when the family drove us to stay at the house.

Not only him, but the other two people who ate it were also very happy. I'm still confident in my craft.

"If you want to praise me, just say it, I don't mind." I smiled at him. "I know, you're just trying to eat it again!" I pointed straight to his intentions.

"Okay, I promise you, as long as the master's family doesn't object." I said very generously, "When you get there in a while, you can ask someone." “

I'm thinking. Just use the stove, and you have to consume a little ready-made ingredients, so you might as well give money when you leave.

The eldest young master around him is ready-made!

More than half an hour ago. Parted amicably from the mountain man who was driving the carriage, and got out of the carriage he was driving.

The man in Tsing Yi recalled.

He first followed the route in his memory and walked along the forest path for about an hour.

In those places he passed, he looked at the scenery around him and felt that it was still relatively familiar.

Seemingly. The impact of the last earthquake on this area was not very significant. That's a good thing.

If the ditch breaks along the way, the mountain road collapses, etc., the road will change a lot, things will become difficult to control, and you may get lost if you are not careful.

What's more, the terrain in that area is originally the most complicated, and it is not comparable to ordinary mountain roads.

For someone who has been around five years ago, there is a big change. It's definitely hard to find the right route.

Tsing Yi people feel that their luck is not bad, and he has always been more confident in his ability to recognize the way. If you feel that the road in the mountains has left an impression, it should be no problem to try it a second time.

This time he was no exception.

Take a gamble and see how lucky it is, and instead of repeating life like the past five years, it's better to try your luck.

The only difference is that if he can get out of this time, he will definitely not return to Nanhua Town.

However, countless facts have proved that it is not too early to rejoice when it comes to similar times!

The mood of the people in Tsing Yi did not last long, and the variables started from the rain they encountered while walking on the road!

It is said that the people in Tsing Yi walked in the forest and unconsciously saw a large black cloud pressing over in the sky.

He saw the majestic clouds in the sky through the cracks in the treetops, and when he reached the clearing in the woods, he looked up and became more certain.

It's not good, look at the sky, it looks like it's going to rain heavily!

The man in Tsing Yi stood still, and then quickly ran to a relatively high place.

He climbed a large rock and looked into the distance, and saw what appeared to be a cave near the hillside.

The Tsing Yi people were overjoyed, and immediately jumped down from the stone and ran in that direction.

He knew that the weather waits for no one, especially in the mountains, where it is common for the sun to shine one moment and the rain to rain the next.

Running with all his might, before the heavy rain fell, the man in Tsing Yi ran into the cave. "What the hell!"

He hid in the cave and watched the storm that came down in a few moments.

Heaven and earth soon converged into an overwhelming rain curtain, enveloping the continuous mountains, and the four fields were vast, and he bowed his head and muttered.

The cold wind mixed with the rain blew in, and the people in Tsing Yi couldn't help but shiver.

I can't rush for the time being, so I can only wait patiently, and it is not up to people to decide when the rain will fall

Although the rain was heavy, it went quickly, and after the showers, the sky looked better.

The man in Tsing Yi leaned against the cave and took a nap, and when he woke up, he sneezed several times one after another.

It was surprisingly cold in the cave, and if he hadn't been in a hurry and tired, he wouldn't have been able to fall asleep in such harsh conditions.

But compared to what happened five years ago, this tiredness is really nothing now!

There is no comparison between the two.

The man in Tsing Yi had seen it in the cave, and he walked around and didn't see any suspicious traces left on the ground.

There was no trace inside the cave, which means that no one has visited this place for a long time.

If you get close to the trail, you will definitely find firewood in the cave, and you may even be able to see traces of a fire on the ground.

If you're lucky, you'll even see some clutter that hasn't been used since the departure of the last group of people who stayed there.

Caravans walking on the road or travelers coming and going, leave those who are idle. Leaving things that are cumbersome in the cave can be regarded as convenient for passers-by who stay in the future.

Maybe they'll be able to use it, and maybe they'll be able to use it.

The place in front of me is not so lucky. There was nothing in the cave.

Looking at the damp and gloomy, in summer, there will definitely be snakes and insects.

Although the man in Tsing Yi had newly bought insect repellent and snake medicine, those were just in case.

In a word, this is not a place to stay for long!

After the rain stopped, the people in Tsing Yi still stayed at the entrance of the cave honestly and did not go out.

It wasn't until he felt that it was almost enough that he went out and looked up at the sky.

Look around. Seeing that it didn't look like it would continue to rain, the people in Tsing Yi weighed it again and again and decided to give up the idea of staying. Then we hurried on.

If you want to stay in the cave and spend the night, you must at least have firewood, otherwise how can you keep warm at night?

The nights in the mountains are cold.

It had just rained in the woods. Dead branches can't be used. Even if you go to the woods and pick it up, you will find nothing.

The man in Tsing Yi made up his mind, tightened the burden on his body and continued to walk forward, he planned to find a village to spend the night in front of him.

No matter how bad it is, you have to find a broken temple or something like a place where you can stay and shelter from the wind and rain.

If you go on for at least an hour, you will not be able to find the dwellings of the mountain people or other suitable places to stay and shelter from the wind.

The man in Tsing Yi walked through the muddy mountain and forest paths, and the oncoming mountain wind made him shiver.

When he left Nanhua Town, he added a padded jacket to his robe. But it's still hard to block the cold wind in the mountains after the rain, and it's winter after all!

He walked and walked. Walking out of the forest, a large clearing suddenly appeared in front of me.

The people in Tsing Yi were first happy in their hearts, and their first reaction was that the village where the mountain people lived was about to arrive, and soon, he found with a gloomy face that it was not the same thing at all!

It is true that there is a clearing in front of us, but there are many barren mounds scattered around.

No matter how bold he is, the cold wind is blowing at this moment, and when he sees such a scene, he can't help but feel a chill behind him.

Coupled with the rustling of leaves in the woods, there was no one around, and as he walked through the clearing, his eyes inevitably glanced in both directions.

The handwriting on the broken stele is faintly legible.

The man in Tsing Yi quickened his pace, and finally almost rushed through the place with a run, without even looking carefully at the handwriting on it.

When he saw the mountain road again, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The man in Tsing Yi temporarily hung his burden on a tree branch, and stood in place to rest for a while.

According to the custom of the mountain people, since such a scene can be seen on the road, the place where the villagers live should not be too far away.

The man in Tsing Yi stood on the mountain path and made his way forward, then walked on the route he thought was the right one.

He hoped to find a home that could be temporarily resettled tonight as soon as possible, and he was looking forward to it

I walked a short distance with the tsundere boy.

Take a clear look at the courtyard where the mountain people live in front of you.

Adding up to four rooms, counting the two shacks that were built in the second place, the outer courtyard was surrounded by a bamboo fence.

I enclosed the house and the shack, as well as the small vegetable patch I saw.

From where we stood, we could see a well under a tree in the courtyard.

In fact, when we came, we already found that the stream was not too far away.

The mountain people dig wells to make it more convenient.

As I got closer, I could see clearly the greens planted in the yard, and the growth momentum was not very good.

Mountain people like to fence off a little bit of land near their residences, and it seems that every household has a similar habit.

This little area near the house can be used to grow some vegetables that are commonly eaten.

They would also go down the mountain from time to time, and the mountain people living in the nearby villages would exchange things with each other that they did not have, and most of them would be bartered.

As for the farther ones, going to the town to catch the market or something, the number of times is not very much.

The biggest problem is that the traffic restricts their travel, which is something that cannot be helped.

Counting the place we have visited, it is slightly better than those who live in the mountains, at least it is not close to the official road, but it is not far away.

I looked carefully at the courtyard in front of me, and I had a plan in mind.

It's not the first time I've seen a similar yard with the tsundere boy, and the last time I saw the hunter living in the mountains, it was a house with a similar structure.

Familiarity means that you should get along with the people in the same way.

The personality of the mountain people is usually hearty and direct, and they talk to people generously, and they are sure to be polite when they ask questions and answers!

I pushed the tsundere boy next to me and blinked his eyes and said, "Big brother, you go and call the door." “

This was said before he came, and now he has to take on the responsibility!

Didn't he volunteer to take the initiative to answer someone?

I gladly gave him what I was going to do.

After a slight pause, the young man walked to the courtyard gate and raised his voice a little and asked, "Is anyone there?" ”

"We were passing through, it was getting dark, and we wanted to borrow it for one night."

I stood quietly under the tree and watched the tsundere boy come forward and speak.

As I waited for the door to open the door, I glanced high up at the top of the mountain.

This area is in the mountains and forests, and the people on the mountains are relatively scattered.

Unlike the plains, the people in the village are generally close to each other.

The village is also connected by dirt roads built by the residents themselves.

We stood under the tree for a short while, and still no one came out.

I figured that if I waited with him outside the courtyard for a few moments and there was still no one, I would have to ask another house.

There may be people who are reluctant to take in temporary strangers, and it is reasonable to be wary.

As we stood outside the courtyard, the boy and I looked at each other and saw the same thing in each other's eyes.

I was about to speak to him when suddenly an old woman came out of a room in the courtyard.

She looked up at the two people standing outside the courtyard, and was stunned for a moment, and then looked at me and the boy.

She walked slowly, and the way she walked fell into my eyes, and at first glance it looked like her legs and feet were not very good, and I frowned.

The mountains are damp, which should be a common disease in Nanhua Town to this area, and many people have it when they are older.

I remember the old neighbor of the martial arts family I met by chance in Nanhua Town, and the illness mentioned by the aunt was also this.

But the eldest lady in front of her obviously looked more serious, because even if she walked a short distance in the yard, she moved very slowly, and she looked powerless.

The boy and I walked to the gate of the courtyard one after the other, and stood side by side, looking at the lady through the fence.

Knowing that she was looking at us, he simply let her see it clearly.

So that she can make a decision whether she would like to take us in tonight, and if she doesn't agree, she will try another house if she is refused.

The young man said in a calm tone, I had already discussed with him, and the eldest lady didn't hesitate too long before letting us in

After entering the room, sitting at the table, the eldest lady's eyes swept over the tsundere boy and me one after another, looking at us repeatedly.

I ignored her gaze and looked at the furnishings of the house as I drank water.

As I expected, I smelled a special smell when I entered the door.

On the wooden table against the wall, there was an empty porcelain bowl with a gap, and I could smell the smell of medicine coming from it! (To be continued.) )
