Hunting in the mountain wind, the young man stood in the forest and said calmly to me: "Xiaoling, you don't understand such a simple truth?" ”

Ay! I'll go!

I said, how can this guy's face be so thick?!

He was standing less than half a meter away from me, with a completely natural expression on his face, he was serious, and he was definitely not joking.

I lost the ability to speak for a moment and could only stare blankly at him.

The tsundere boy was very dissatisfied with my reaction, and frowned: "Xiaoling, where did I say something wrong?" ”

"No, what you said makes sense, young master."

I finally came to my senses, nodded subconsciously, and then lowered my eyelids and thought for a while.

I raised my head, looked at him seriously, and said in a deferential tone: "Young Master, your words are indeed very reasonable. ”

Looking at the mountain road ahead, it was finally not as wild and panicked as in the forest before, at least it looked like a trace of someone had walked before.

Although the traces are not very obvious, it also means that there are still people in the area.

It was much better than I expected, but it was an uninhabited place.

Because it seems to me that as long as you can find someone living nearby, you will always find some news.

After thinking about it, I frowned and said in my heart, maybe the young man is right, if we go forward in this area, we will probably see the village.

Even if not, at least there will be a few scattered families living in it occasionally!

I also thought of the two unlucky guys I ran into in the woods earlier.

It was getting dark, and their families didn't know if they would look for it.

Walk on the road. I kept comforting myself that imagining the image of hot soup and hot rice was the only thing that motivated me to go all out.

I have to have some faith to back it up! When physical fatigue, a person's mental strength is more important!

Everyone understands this.

I'm optimistic. It's better than being trapped in a misty forest and having to stay in a tree like a monkey even overnight.

It's been a long night, what do I have to talk to the tsundere boy?

However, it is true that I have certain concerns in my mind, that I may not be able to reach a populated place after nightfall.

Maybe I'll have to continue on my way tomorrow morning, so I'll discuss the method with the boy.

I thought about it for a while, and said to the tsundere boy who was walking in front of me: "Young Master, it's not a way to go on like this!" ”

I sighed. Coming out of the misty forest, it is estimated that it has been more than an hour since I walked here.

If you can't see the village he said again, you must at least conserve your strength. Ming'er continued on her way.

I thought to myself, why don't I stop and find a cave where I can shelter from the rain.

Having a place to shelter from the rain makes you feel safer, even if you encounter danger. You can retreat, right?

I wanted to mention it to the tsundere boy. Let him talk about his thoughts.

The boy stopped, turned his head to look at me, and knew that my strength would not last long.

He frowned and recalled: "I didn't see anyone who could shelter from the rain in the place I walked just now, I'm like you, if I sleep outside, I'm worried about changing the sky in the middle of the night." “

The climate in the mountains is changeable, and the boy is also worried, so he thought about it and encouraged me: "Xiaoling. You'll have to hold on a bit. ”

"Good!"

I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye, and could only answer him with a calm tone. Because I don't have the strength to theorize anymore.

The next thing I have to do is pay attention to the surroundings of the places I pass by, and there seems to be no better way to do anything else.

If I just stop on the mountain road to rest, I don't think it's appropriate, and to be honest, I might as well go up the tree!

However, I have a plan in my heart to promise and promise.

It was getting dark little by little, and looking ahead, I made up my mind to follow the tsundere boy for another ride.

At that time, if there is no suitable place to stay, then you can only settle down and camp on the spot!

The person in front of him stopped a few times to wait for me, and he really had the strength to spare, and this little distance was nothing to him.

I knew that if I continued like this, it might be the same as the last time I was in the mountains.

So I gritted my teeth and followed, not wanting to be complained by him, and when the boy looked back several times, his eyes were different.

I felt that I had been walking hard and in a very awkward state, and as I approached a hillside in front of me, I suddenly heard a familiar voice again.

It was clearly the sound of running water, and my eyes lit up, because in the mountains, usually close to the water source, there are many people living there!

Of course, the boy heard it, and he looked back at me, this time with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "You're happy!" ”

"No, let's go faster, there might be someone ahead."

I suddenly felt that I had a spirit, and I don't know where it came from, and the reason for this is still related to what I thought before.

"Xiaoling, when I told you before, you still didn't believe me, you thought this area was too remote."

The boy looked at me and couldn't help but complain about me.

"At this moment and then, I just thought you were purely comforting me, and I didn't have much hope," I paused and continued, "Now that I hear that there is a water source nearby, I feel hopeful!" ”

"Without further ado, let's hurry up," I urged him, "as long as we find someone who can be temporarily resettled, even if the fishing village arrives tomorrow, it won't be a big problem." ”

I walked in front of the tsundere boy and walked in the direction where the sound of the water came from, and I knew he would be able to catch up.

Now, I just hope that I can get to the populated place as soon as possible, so I don't have to worry about it tonight

The two of them quickened their pace and walked on the mountain road one after the other, and the farther they went, they could hear the sound of the water flowing louder.

When I was in the woods, I was surprised to find a few fruit trees at the end of the forest, which did not look like they were growing naturally.

Turning a small hill, a stream formed by the clear mountain stream suddenly appeared in front of me and the tsundere boy.

I could clearly see a wooden bridge made of dead trees over the stream, and not far from the other side of the stream there was a house in the mountains that I knew very well, under the big trees.

I burst into cheers. I couldn't be happier!

At this moment, the tsundere boy next to me stepped forward and stopped me in an instant.

My eyes were always on the house not too far from the stream in front of me. The tall figure of the arrogant young man blocked my vision.

I raised my head and looked at him puzzled and asked, "Great, young master, what do you mean by this?" ”

Is this guy brained or something? Seeing that he can find a mountain man's house to stay, what kind of wind is he smoking!

I had quickened my pace and was about to cross the wooden bridge over the stream, trying to get to the mountain man's house before it was dark, but he actually stopped me.

"Xiaoling," the young man met my puzzled look. Stared at me intently, then shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it first." There are a few things that should be made clear before going there. ”

"What do I have to say, you are such a strange person!"

I looked at him inexplicably, not knowing what was wrong with the eldest young master. Climbing and passing traps along the way. Isn't he walking hard?

The young man stopped in front of me, his expression was decisive, he didn't mean to get out of the way at all, it seemed that I couldn't agree if I didn't agree!

I sighed and said extremely helplessly: "Okay, okay, young master, if you have something to say, say it quickly." “

"I'm so tired that if someone is there. I'm sure I'd like to stay overnight tonight," I muttered, looking down. "It's better than staying in the middle of nowhere!"

I urged him again, but the boy pursed his lips and nodded but didn't speak, as if he was still thinking about what to say!

"Xiaoling, let's talk about it," he said as he stared at me, "this time when you go to the mountain people's house, you are not allowed to joke about me." ”

"Your business?" I subconsciously repeated, there was something about him, could it be that I remembered that he was referring to what he mentioned last time at the eldest mother's house.

"Okay, I won't talk to you this time, I'll just promise you anyway."

The young man stared at me and said, "Xiaoling, you have to make a promise here first, and make sure that you don't get involved in any messy lifelong events." ”

"I promise, all right," I said with a wink at the boy, "you don't have to worry. ”

"Also, don't make it up for me, I," the boy paused.

I already understood his thoughts, and when I heard this, I immediately waved my hand and said, "This time I met someone, eldest young master, you tell me the origin yourself." ”

I snapped my fingers and wrote lightly: "I just eat and sleep, and say hello at most, so it's all right?" ”

I wish I could do that!

Whoever asked him to come to someone's house was like a stuffy gourd, and he didn't bother to say anything about the scene.

We are just passers-by A and passer-by B, and we are not guests invited by the mountain people, so we are disturbing others for the temporary stay.

How many will behave like him? Ordinary people will always be polite and say a few kind words.

In the final analysis, the eldest young master is used to it, and it is usually others who hold him, and if he is asked to be polite to others at this time, he will be awkward.

Although I know that he is not bad at heart, it is a fact that he has low emotional intelligence!!

I glanced at him tentatively, and seeing that he was expressionless, I added: "Young Master, if you really have concerns"

How do I do that? How to make the eldest young master satisfied, I turned a few thoughts in my heart, and I didn't think it was good.

Suddenly, I looked at him and said with a smile: "It's better for me to pretend to be dumb, you're always satisfied, right?" ”

It's a good way, save me trouble!

"You just said I couldn't speak since I was a child, didn't you?"

There is something I have to make clear to him, so I thought about it for a while and said, "Young Master, but in that case, you will have to deal with it by yourself when you greet people and things." “

"Are you willing?"

I saw the hesitant expression of the tsundere boy, he is really a person who is afraid of trouble!

I pushed the multiple-choice questions to him!

After a moment of silence, the young man finally shook his head and said, "That's not appropriate, it's not good to pretend to be dumb, well, anyway, don't mess up the arrangement for me, I'll have no opinion." ”

"Okay, that's a deal." I said cheerfully.

Right now, all I think about is drinking hot soup, eating hot meals, and preferably having a warm place to sleep, and whatever he says, it's okay.

I'm too lazy to worry about the tsundere boy, I don't have that effort!

I have seen the houses in the mountains several times, and they seem to me to be of a similar pattern.

Mountain people generally use local materials, usually building a few houses with bamboo fences in the front and back yards.

The style of the fences is similar, and when you walk closer to the courtyard, you can see a door made of bamboo.

I glanced at the boy, and his face looked much better now, probably thinking that I had agreed to his request and had nothing to do with him.

I lowered my head, and secretly said in my heart that this guy's fault just can't be changed, but I have to think about it when I encounter the owner's words for a while.

So as not to say something that annoys the eldest young master, I didn't mean that he listened intentionally, and it was related to whether my life would be better on the next road.

The shadow of the scene of him hanging me from the tree outside the cave is still there, and it will not go away for a short time!

"Anyone, please?"

I reached out and knocked on the slightly old wooden door, and I could already see a faint light in the room.

The mountain people in this area all light oil lamps.

"It's coming!" After a few seconds, an old voice with an accent answered me.

I stood with the boy under the tree in the doorway for a short while, and in a short time the door in the middle opened.

An old lady walked out.

In the night, I can still see the appearance of the eldest lady clearly, and look at a quite amiable person.

I exchanged glances with the boy again, and he winked at me.

Get! Didn't this guy push the matter on me?

I didn't think much about it, stood under the tree outside the door, hesitated a little, stepped forward and shouted through the fence: "Auntie! ”

I knocked on the wooden door before, and now I am through the fence so that the eldest lady can see my face clearly, and the one who follows behind.

The eldest lady really walked to the edge of the fence and looked at me fixedly, with a stunned expression on her face, too familiar an expression!

"Auntie," I said to her with a smile, "my eldest brother and I were passing by, and I got lost in the misty forest before, and somehow came here. “

"We don't know the way, it's getting dark again, and we want to disturb your house for the night."

I stood motionless, of course, I didn't mean to rush into the door, but stood there and looked at the eldest lady.

Last experience, I learned that this trick is quite effective, and the other party will leave a good impression when he sees a stranger paying attention to details.

Although Tsundere Boy and I have both manipulated our appearances and changed our appearances, we should not look like bad people when we stand in the doorway.

I think after the eldest lady sees it clearly, she will probably be able to let down her guard.

The eldest lady was still looking at me, especially the one behind me, and I turned my head to look at him and immediately made a gesture.

The tsundere boy finally understood what I meant, and immediately walked up to me, and both of them stood outside the fence so that the eldest lady could see it up close. (To be continued.) )
