Chapter 9: The Demonic Side
"When I go out, I don't feel safe, and my heart still hangs." I changed my tone, not forgetting to remind the tsundere boy of the most important thing in my opinion, "Do you remember the last time we met in the mountains?" "Hey, it's scary!"
That experience left a shadow on me.
He went through it with me, and he must know better than I did.
Of course he knows what I mean!
I was worried that after a long time, he would be negligent and forget, so I reminded him.
Suddenly there was a low laugh from the front seat.
Even if I was looking at the back of my head, I could guess that the guy's expression at this moment must have implied mockery.
I clenched my fists and listened to him say in a low tone: "Xiaoling, you said that you were not at ease, but you still slept so deeply!" "Nonsense, I'm just nourishing my gods, okay?!"
I blushed and hurriedly argued with him, in fact, I still haven't said a word!
Originally, this car is shaky, and it is easy to fall asleep when sitting in the car, and it is the same for another person, is it my fault?
"Don't interrupt, I'll tell you about business," I retracted my thoughts and calmed down, sat up straight, and thought for a while before continuing to him, "Hey, tonight, let's keep watch before and after the middle of the night, do you think it's okay?" ”
I will never forget what happened last time in the mountains.
Right now, in the wilderness, you really have to be vigilant at night, just in case.
There are only two people between me and the tsundere boy, and there is no one to replace us. I had to divide the labor!
Even if you go to the village where the mountain people live, you may not be able to be too peaceful, and you can't have the heart to harm people and the heart to defend people!
I glanced out the window. muttered to himself, "You don't know, who knows who we'll meet!" "At the end of the day, it's not up to our luck!"
The boy was silent, and after a few moments I heard him whisper yes.
I thought about it for a while, and felt that I had to tell him a few more words before I got to the accommodation.
"What happened in the mountains last time. You didn't tell me the details, but it's a fact that you're hurt. ”
As soon as these words came out, the young man in the front seat looked back at me again. The eyes are complex and indescribable.
"Don't worry, I'm not trying to make fun of you, I'm not so unkind. What's more, most of your injuries have something to do with protecting me. ”
I said to him frankly, "If we happen to a similar situation again this time." You have to make a gesture with me in private, and when the time comes, you can make a gesture, and I will know that there is danger without opening your mouth. "You know, those people in the barren mountains are not necessarily pure-hearted," I frowned, "in case I encounter someone with bad thoughts, then I'll find a reason." I don't even move what they bring me food. “
"Alcohol, for example, is easier to manipulate."
"Anyway. I don't want you to go back to the mountains and get hurt. ”
Who is happy and owes him a favor!
I finished speaking in one breath, staring at the back of the tsundere's head, seeing that he didn't turn his head, but it gave me the feeling that he must have listened.
I paused, and almost reached out to pat him on the head, thinking about this man's strange temper, and in case it angered him, I gave up the idea.
"You don't have to be so moved, I'm mainly worried that the people who are tracking down from Suzhou will come to the door."
I explained to him, "If they see you with me and get hurt, maybe I won't be able to go to the Northlands." "I remind you, in the end, it's also for yourself."
After listening to this test, the tsundere boy turned his head to look at me, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Xiaoling, are you sure that you can understand me if I make a gesture, can you do it?" ”
"Needless to say." I hurriedly agreed, looking at his expression, I felt strange in my heart, as if something was wrong!
At the moment, I didn't think too much about it, he mentioned it to me, and I naturally told him in a positive tone that he could do it.
The carriage continued to move forward, this time turning a corner in the mountain road, and the shadow of the mountain village could be faintly seen in front of it, and now the sky was slowly darkening.
After a long day on the road, it's time to stay at the farmhouse in the evening.
I was thinking, when I got to the mountain village, let the tsundere boy take the lead, and I would follow whichever house he planned to stop.
Because this person is too picky, I'm afraid that if I choose well, he will talk to me again, and I can't stand his nagging!
In the eyes of others, Tsundere is a young man with a cold personality, but unfortunately only I know that guy's demonic side!
The carriage ran over a plain, then jolted along a deserted road in the mountains.
The boy tried his best to slow down the car, and looked at the village not far in front of him, not so hurried.
It didn't take long for me to close my eyes and start again what I said about "recuperation."
When I woke up from my daze and lifted the curtain by the window to look out, I saw that the mountain village was about to arrive.
I reached out and grabbed my baggage, and while the boy was still in the car, I checked the things I was carrying.
Then, I reached out and touched the little bottle that had been hanging from my chest.
This action is done every day, and I never leave my body, and I will always take it properly to the Northland.
There is still the small box that the master and his old man gave me, the treasure that the black-bellied senior brother coveted and couldn't get
The young man driving the car was driving halfway up the hill at this moment, and when he got here, the road condition was almost the same as when he left Nanhua Town.
On the road to the Northlands, it is not uncommon to encounter similar roads.
Although the young man was not as familiar with the road conditions as some of the people in the Yuwen family who frequently traveled to and from the Northland, his driving skills were not lost to them at all.
The bumpy mountain road is made more difficult to walk because some of the gravel that has fallen from the heights has fallen on the road.
Don't look at it as just halfway down, the most dangerous terrain in this area has not yet been reached, but it is close to the place where he expected to stop tonight. The current road conditions can make people nervous just by looking at them.
Accidents involving overturned cars on mountain roads have occurred from time to time, and the boy has never been so nervous when he is alone.
Think of the sleeping guy in the carriage, the smile that flashed on the boy's lips.
Hear movement coming from inside the carriage. He knew that Xiaoling had woken up.
At this moment, looking outside at the end of the stop, the guy was already sorting out the things he was carrying.
The young man didn't see it with his own eyes, but he still knew the movements in the carriage clearly, and he could even imagine the expression on Xiaoling's face at this moment
I've counted the contents of the baggage, and nothing is bad, especially the small bag at the bottom, which is well packed. It's still neatly folded, not like someone has seen it!
Think about it, too, tsundere is not so perverted!
I still believe what he told me. Opening the baggage is just a cursory glance at the "belongings" I carry.
"Hey," I straightened up, put my tight bag aside, and leaned over to the small window next to him. Said to the back of his head. "The village ahead, you choose the people to stay in by yourself."
"How?" He asked me in a deep voice.
"Young Master, if I pick it, maybe you won't be satisfied!"
In my opinion, that would be a thankless and useless task. "You'd better do it yourself, work hard!"
As soon as Nanhua Town passes, the climate in the mountains is changeable. Soon it rained.
Thankfully, the rain wasn't heavy, but it was a muddy mountain road. The speed at which the group moved forward was still affected a little.
From Suzhou to here, they have always traveled quite fast, and it is the first time they have been forced to slow down.
The man at the head of the line turned and asked his companion who was following him, "Is there any news for us, Lord?" ”
The person in charge of liaison in the team shook his head and immediately replied, "Not yet." ”
"When we left Suzhou, we once passed the news to the Lord," he looked at the one who was headed, and the two looked at each other, "I guess this time has already arrived." ”
"It may also be that there are too many things in the south, and there are some things that the Lord can't take care of for a while."
If it weren't for the changes in the south of Xilan, Tianfang would not have let go of the matter of Suzhou and went south at all, because his subordinates knew this.
Including the team that was sent to the Northland to continue tracking the trail of that little junior sister.
Several people in the team summed up, and they continued to move forward in the light rain.
As long as it doesn't get dark, they won't stop on their way.
Of course, the plan was to find a cave before dark to stay and settle down.
The weather is bad today, and the road conditions in the mountains are not good, so if you rush on the road, you will encounter mudslides and the like.
In the past, there were many opportunities for their group to be responsible for going out on missions.
For safety reasons, you should always keep an eye on the weather conditions and movements around you along the way.
They deliberately bypassed Nanhua Town and did not slow down, because they wanted to reach the Northland earlier.
They are also very clear about Wang Shi's movements, at least for now, he has stayed in the mountains near Nanhua Town and has not moved.
This is really puzzling.
However, before leaving, Tianfang had overestimated this matter.
He guessed where the king was staying, and thought that the king of Sealand would stop to rest and recuperate, and might expand his team along the way before reaching the Northland.
Therefore, the team decided to keep a little distance from Nanhua Town.
If you go to the town, once the people of the king master also choose that place to move, the two sides may meet, and there may be extraneous branches!
Their appearance is looked at by others, and it will be troublesome if they pick and choose to fill the number when they see it!
About half an hour later, a dark cloud pressed down on the horizon again.
The team was now on a relatively empty hillside.
The leader of the team immediately made a decision and said to his companions: "Seeing that it is going to rain, there is no way to hide in this place, let's hurry up and find a cave in front." ”
Heavy rain waits for no one, and once it starts, you can't tell how long it will take.
If it is better in the summer, even if it is a shower in the winter, the clothes are soaked and the fire dries very slowly, and it will take a long time.
The team immediately sped up and moved!
The path through the trees on the mountain looks seldom visited, and there are traces of moss in winter.
The leader of the group swept the forest one by one with a keen eye.
After many years of walking experience, he and his companions soon found a cave on the hillside that was mostly covered by overgrown bushes.
The people in the team drew their swords to clear the obstacles at the entrance of the cave, revealing the hole, the mouth.
When I walked in, I found that there was a lot of space inside, and I couldn't see it from outside the cave.
A group of people went in with the horses they were riding, and it was more than enough.
There are traces on the ground inside the cave from pedestrians or hunters who have lit fires.
Dead wood is piled up against the wall, and this type of cave is never uncommon on the way.
After they entered, they each had a division of labor, and they had a tacit understanding and didn't need to say much.
When the rain fell outside, a fire had already risen inside the cave
The carriage deviated from the official road in the mountains, and the boy stopped the carriage under a large tree.
I got out of the car, looked around, made out the environment we were in, and sensed his gaze on me.
When their eyes met, the corners of the boy's mouth immediately moved, and he looked away as if he was holding back a smile.
I looked at him suspiciously, just being looked into by his eyes, and keenly sensed that something seemed wrong with his reaction.
After a while, he looked at me with a restrained expression and said, "Xiaoling, it's not appropriate for the car to enter the village, let's find a place nearby to park the car there." ”
Even if he didn't say it, it was the same as I thought, and I immediately nodded when I heard it.
I stayed under the tree and waited for him, and the tsundere boy needed some time to pull over the carriage to the hidden spot in the mountains.
At the moment, we haven't reached the village yet, so it's better to keep a low profile.
After all, he took the words I reminded him, otherwise with his arrogant personality, he might not be willing to hide his head and show his tail.
Not far ahead, I saw a pool of water, formed by the flow of waterfalls in the mountains.
I stopped there, and my heart was entangled for a while, and his expression just now flashed repeatedly in front of my eyes, and I felt unsteady in my heart.
I stood and thought for a moment, then walked over to the pool.
The water was clear, and I could see my face clearly when I got closer and lowered my head.
Sure enough, I knew there was something wrong with that guy's expression just now!
I really expected it!
I made several stops on the mountain trail, and each time I came to the stream, my task was to clean the herbs I had dug up, and I also washed my hands.
However, every time because of the rush of time, I didn't pay attention to my face.
At this time, I saw that there were still a lot of traces on it, presumably from the action of pulling the silk when digging the herbs.
When I slept in the car, I turned my side and leaned my face against the window, leaving the same crushed marks.
The tsundere boy got out of the car and saw my embarrassment.
He's stealing fun alone, and he won't explain it to me!
I instantly remembered that when I first met him, this guy used me as a coolie.
At that time, he just asked me to do things, completely in a non-negotiable tone. (To be continued.) )
