Chapter 55: Unknown Risks
I looked at the young man and said depressedly: "But last time it was poisonous!" ”
When I think back to that time in the cave, I can't help but be a little afraid: "I said you shouldn't be too careless. “
"You're lucky, though, at least there's a ready-made three-legged cat doctor by your side."
I frowned and said in a slow tone: "There are ready-made doctors to accompany me, and if there is a situation, you can use it reasonably." ”
The young man snorted, turned his head to look at me and smiled: "Xiaoling, are you worried about falling off the chain at a critical moment?" ”
"Last time, the master could use less than thirty percent of his skills, didn't he take you to Suzhou smoothly?"
He straightened his back, but the tone of his speech was the usual nonchalant.
I stared at him for a few seconds and said, "Young Master, please, where is it going well?!" “
It's just talking nonsense with your eyes open!
I snapped my fingers and counted with him: "From encountering robbers on the boat to waking up in the mountains to see you, then going to the mountains to avoid risks, and then to the town, and then to Suzhou"
"Young Master, there were robberies and injuries along the way, and you still said that you were obedient!"
Looking back, it's really scary step by step!
It's like a game, every danger is sudden.
For example, the hunters who borrowed evil ideas in the mountains, such as the gambling money in the town and the robbery, if you want to tell a story, you have to talk for a long time!
I tilted my head and thought about it, then sighed, "It's a little better this time." ”
I looked thoughtfully at the tsundere boy and paused, "But I don't dare to pack the ticket now." Because you like crow's mouth!"
It's not the first time.
I turned my head to look at the side of the road and said depressedly: "Young Master, I only know that I am on the road with you, and I am also not very sure." ”
Lying on the slope of the mountain. This guy was not clamoring for rain, but it turned out to be a heavy rain.
The boy snorted and turned his head to look too lazy to bother with me.
I watched coldly, and saw that he was carrying a burden and a very heavy bow, and he continued to speed along the way.
Sure enough, as he said, he didn't care about the weight!
I sighed inwardly. Although I didn't say those words just now, they are true.
I've always known the gap between me and him, and this can't be solved by pretending to be a man!
I remind myself. You haven't reached your destination yet, but at least you have to cheer up.
We don't know what lies ahead!
Every time I do a task, there are twists and turns, and although this time the fishing village is not a task, it is also a little implicated with me. I just want to figure out what's going on?!
Wang Shi stalled in Nanhua Town. Just gave me a little time to do what I wanted.
Didn't the aunt already say that there are traps in the forest ahead, so let's be careful when walking.
I also faintly heard her wife not only say this, but also walked outside the house with the young man and talked softly for a while when they were separated, which should also have something to do with the road ahead.
As far as I can guess, the boy must have listened
I followed the boy, and the two of us continued to walk on the mountain path.
In a short time, there was another forest in front of me.
The boy didn't say a word. Turning his head to look at me, he winked, and I understood. Immediately approach him.
The boy grabbed my arm and simply led me through the woods.
It's better to be prepared than yesterday when we didn't plan at all.
I quickly crossed the area with him, and there was a mistake in the process, but the boy reacted very quickly and flew with me to the tree.
Out of the woods, I breathed a sigh of relief, and when I saw that there was still a mountain road ahead, I shook my head and muttered: "Young Master, I haven't seen water after walking for so long." “
"Are you sure that Tiger Cliff Village is not wrong, it is going in this direction?"
The young man turned his head and glanced at me and said, "Xiaoling, you are a road idiot, do you have to be a road idiot, of course you are right." ”
"I heard the old couple speak very clearly," he continued, after a pause, "and a man who used to hunt in his youth could not be mistaken. ”
"Okay," I paused for a few seconds and said helplessly, "Young Master, you're talking nonsense when I'm tired, I just hope to get there soon." ”
I lowered my head and continued walking, but the thought crossed my mind that if that village was nearby, would the boy and I have to be careful?
What if there are traps in the future?
I can't help but think of the unknown dangers lurking in the shadows, maybe the things in the Misty Forest have impressed me too much.
It's easy for me to think about what I'd do if I got into a critical situation.
I thought that walking in this area, the direction we are currently in is not too offset, I wonder if if we continue to walk like this, if we can't find the place we are looking for, will there be another way to return to the official road?
Take precautions, I can't help but mention it to the teenager after all!
After hearing this, he thought about it carefully, and then nodded: "Xiaoling, there are many roads in the mountains, and there are many forks in some sections. “
The young man paused and continued, "Maybe just like you think, you can find other ways to get to the official road, so don't worry too much." ”
However, the young man gave me the feeling that he might have concealed some things, including the content of their conversation before, what did the uncle tell him?
Several questions hovered in my mind in a row, and I couldn't find the answer for a while, so I could only guess by myself
Walking through the forest in front of me, I walked with the boy in the forest, and it didn't take long to see another house in front of me.
My eyes lit up, and I asked the boy next to me, "Is it the village we are looking for?" ”
Of course, I'm referring to Tiger Cliff Village, the Tiger Cliff Village they mentioned.
The young man turned his head sideways, looked at me with a smile and said, "They said that the village is close to the water, Xiaoling, do you see the water?" ”
He stopped, and said with a bit of joking in his tone: "You didn't even hear the sound of water, did you?" ”
"Xiaoling, it seems that your ear power is not good."
The tsundere boy is starting to hurt me again!
"Nonsense. My ears are very good, but you're right," I said strangely. "I don't think I heard the sound of water!"
I quickened my pace to get closer to the room to get a good look, and the boy followed behind me.
I thought to myself, even if it wasn't the village we were looking for, at least it was someone who could ask for directions!
With that in mind, I walked faster
The boy followed silently behind me, and I walked some distance until the house in front of me came closer.
But I looked at it. The room over there looks very old when you get closer.
The bamboo fence around the outside is broken in some places, but what about the inside of the courtyard? It is overgrown with weeds.
The barren weeds covered the paths in the courtyard, and it was impossible to see the original appearance.
Several rooms are also very dilapidated.
Is there no one living there?
My heart sank. When I got closer and looked around, my suspicion was confirmed.
The courtyard I saw was nothing more than an abandoned courtyard that had long since been emptied.
It may have been left behind by the migrated mountain people, or it could have been
I sighed. I was a little frustrated.
The boy caught up. Seeing my sullen reaction with my head hanging down, I couldn't help but laugh: "You seem to be disappointed, Xiaoling?" ”
"Didn't you just take a lot of food from that lady's house," the young man pointed to the burden on his back at me, "Could it be because you don't have to carry the burden yourself now, and you are greedy to get more food?" ”
"I wanted to inquire about the route!"
He couldn't do without a word in three sentences, and I glanced at him and said, "Don't you understand, young master?" ”
He pretended to be confused, knowing what I was thinking.
I noticed that this guy was on the way out of the eldest mother's house. He seems to be in a good mood, is it because of the bow on his back?
Got a sharp weapon. So he's in a good mood?
After being together for a while, I knew that this guy was always moody, and I secretly said in my heart that his good mood would last for no longer being.
"Forget it, there's nothing to get into this house," I decided, whispering to the boy, "let's just get around." ”
"Do you know the route ahead?" I asked the teenager.
"Xiaoling, just follow me and don't lose it," the young man said calmly, "What are you doing so much!" ”
Follow the slope and go up and down the mountain.
Along the way, the trees on the side of the mountain road kept receding, and I felt a little tired of looking at the mountain wind for a while.
Yes, no matter how green the scenery is, there are endless mountains and forests as far as the eye can see.
Being in the same environment, of course, you can't feel new after watching it for a long time!
I thought about the war in the Northlands, and I walked with mechanical steps under my feet.
Bypass the abandoned yard and walk out for a while, because it is downhill, the speed is quite fast.
Before I knew it, I had gone ahead of the boy and become a leader.
I certainly wouldn't dare to change to a deep forest with no traces, but the section we passed through had traces, and there was less grass on the road than in the surrounding areas.
I think it's a relationship that is often trampled on, so a mountain road is formed.
When I came back to my senses and walked out to look behind me, I noticed that the tsundere boy had stopped where he was, using a tree branch to stir the dirt on the slope.
This guy is actually interested in playing?
I stared at him and shouted, "Young Master, what are you rubbing over there?" ”
The young man thought for a moment and then raised his head and looked at me: "Xiaoling." ”
"What's wrong?"
A faint smile crossed his lips and beckoned to me, "Come and see." ”
What's so nice about the mud in the mountains!
I muttered in my heart, but walked over as I said.
I squatted down and did him pick up a twig and tossed the soil on the hillside a few times, and it was very wet.
The flowers and trees that grow on it are exposed because of the soft and moist soil.
"Big young master, what's the problem?"
I stared at him for a moment, then turned my head to ask him.
The young man's eyes met me, he looked at me and said, "Xiaoling, do you remember what happened last time?" ”
What kind of thing is he mentioning, he has no head and no brain, how do I know what he is talking about?
So, under the boy's gaze, I shook my head blankly.
"You don't have a good memory, Xiaoling, last time we were in the mountains, and when we were in the car, we saw a similar situation here."
The young man reminded me and said, "We are in the mountains, and the old man drove us off." ”
I immediately remembered, and asked with a slight frown between my eyebrows: "I don't know what you said!" “
I looked at him puzzled, and recalled, "When we passed a mountain col, we saw the bare soil layer on the cliff. ”
"Young Master, is this what you are talking about?"
I asked, looking thoughtfully at him.
"yes, it's similar here."
The boy replied to me in a calm tone.
I looked at his face and saw his expression clearly, uh, a little crazy.
Since they are all in the mountains, although there is some distance between them, isn't it that they haven't reached the northland yet?
Speaking of which, except that the climate here is lower than that in the mountains around Suzhou, the geological structure is generally similar!
Why did the tsundere boy mention to me about the last time?
"The soil on this mountain looks like it's prone to landslides after heavy rain!"
I remember feeling the same thing last time, and gave the same summary, and the boy nodded when he heard this, and lowered his eyelids in thought.
Then, he stood up and patted the dust on his hands and said, "Xiaoling, keep walking." ”
"Hey," I hurriedly chased after me, confused, "what did you mean by what you just told me?" ”
I looked at the back of the boy's head and thought to myself, why don't I understand?
The tsundere boy suddenly stopped and didn't leave, just to see the soil, and he asked me about it as a matter, but I didn't know his intentions.
The boy glanced sideways at the mountain and said, "That's right, the soil here is almost all like that. “
"Xiaoling, the last time the Zhuangzi people moved out because there would be a mudslide in that area."
I was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought for a moment, "You mean that the abandoned house we saw was also because of this?" ”
I changed my tone and said to the young man: "But something is wrong, what the uncle told us at that time is that the Zhuangzi in that area have been emptied." ”
I paused and said, "Just looking at a family's yard doesn't mean anything!" ”
"I'm asking you to observe some small details, if you remember anyway."
This person is simply inexplicable, why should I remember this? I'm not doing geological research in the mountains, and I'm looking for a fishing village, not near the water?
I didn't want to argue with him, so I just nodded silently, and experience told me not to continue to ask him, what I thought in my heart was another matter.
Deal with it calmly, lest this guy turn on Tang Seng mode again!
The boy walked all the way, looking at the surrounding scenery with great interest.
He walked along the trail and touched the branch in his hand several times to the light-exposed layer of soil at the edge of the hillside.
I turned my eyes to him several times, and I saw him do the same thing, and I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, where did this guy get so interested?
In my opinion, is there something wrong with him?! (To be continued.) )
