On the way to Suzhou with my boy, I once went to a ruined temple in the mountains to hide from the rain.

At that time, when we went to check the terrain, we stumbled upon the lake in the mountains.

Speaking of which, it's pretty much the same.

There are some similarities between the two encounters, both of which were accidental encounters under the premise of unintentional insertion.

If you follow the normal route and rush all the way to Suzhou, you will not know that there is such a large lake on the mountains you pass along the way.

Who would have thought?

Besides, the boy and I were just strangers passing through that area by chance.

I once asked him if he had stayed there before, and the answer was no!

Although the tsundere boy went all the way from Xilanan to Suzhou to do business, he had always taken the waterway in the past.

In other words, it was because of me that he got down that road by accident.

If he hadn't taken care of the robbers in the Deep Valley Passage, he wouldn't have had a chance to make a detour!

Many times, what happened is a little strange and unclear in hindsight, as if there is a push in the dark!

Sounds incredible!

I looked into the distance, retracted my gaze, and then asked the young man, "Young Master, have you thought about it?" “

"At what point are you going to wait?"

I asked him, waiting for an answer.

How do I feel like I'm watching a play?

I couldn't help but smile at the thought that it was none of my business, as long as those people didn't come for me and him, the burden in my heart was relieved.

I've already figured it out. At this time, I will listen to the advice of the tsundere boy to arrange, and what he wants to do in specific matters will be left to him to arrange!

He himself said that experience is a compulsory lesson for children growing up in Yuwen's family. Presumably a lot.

I guess the people of the Yuwen family will definitely not have less knowledge than me if they go out to walk.

Sure enough, when the boy heard the tone of my voice, the corners of his lips lifted but he didn't answer me directly.

He turned around and continued after a short while: "Xiaoling, the play is not so good-looking, in case it is discovered by those people." I have to fight them! ”

His tone didn't sound like he was worried.

However, as soon as he spoke, I paused, and another thought flashed through my mind. Raise your head and look at his back.

I asked one less question.

"Eldest young master, by the way, how many people do you estimate will be here?"

I don't have a clue because it's not in my field of vision. The current news was all discovered when he was patrolling the back mountains.

Only the tsundere teenager has relatively accurate information.

I silently measured it in my mind. Walking up to him, he glanced back at the young man's expression, and walked over to close the distance between him and him.

I'm not as good as he is.

Although it is better than ordinary people, and some movements can be heard in the close range, but it is always a small thing to put in front of the master.

If you are not sure, hide first and wait and see what happens to those people.

Because I'm curious, too!

I talked to the teenager about it. I withdrew my gaze from the distance again and turned to look at him.

"Great young master. Then you should be careful, be cautious," I said with a wink at him, "Wouldn't it be better not to be discovered by those people?" ”

I looked at him with a grin.

The boy looked down and thought about it, and made a judgment, and he led me up the hillside.

I followed him, as he had told me to do.

The mountain wind blew, the dark clouds pressed down, and the two of them went around the path behind the mountain one after the other, and then walked to a hidden place under a big tree.

There are many towering ancient trees growing on the slopes here, and you can tell that they have grown many years at a glance, and they are particularly lush.

I don't know what kind of ancient tree it is, but it hasn't lost its leaves in winter.

I looked around, and I felt a little emotional, saying that the environment here is really good, there are mountains and rivers, but it is a little deserted.

If you like to be quiet, you will like this place.

"Xiaoling, I thought about it, it's better to hide from the tree and watch."

The tsundere boy frowned and looked around as he spoke, he was looking at the surrounding environment like me, I was thinking about seclusion, he was probably estimating the risk.

The young man's gaze stopped at a certain place and stared at me for a few seconds, and then he said to me, "Xiaoling, the location here is good, if you go up, your sight is enough to see the movement of the fork in the forest clearly." ”

The next second, without waiting for me to respond, the boy grabbed my arm and flew me to the tree.

His actions startled me, but I was able to calm down immediately.

This eldest young master has never done things according to common sense, and he has thought of a personality that is a play I have learned several times!

Then I crouched down with him and looked through the dense leaves of the trees into the woods he was talking about.

The boy felt unsafe and broke a branch for me to hold.

I felt awkward, but he spoke, and I did as he was told.

The boy crouched to the other side, and when he looked back at me, the corners of his mouth lifted and he couldn't help but smile.

If you think about it, I look like I'm surrounded by these leaves, but is it that funny?

That guy isn't kind!

Of course, the boy's judgment was correct, and the safest place in the entire mountain forest was about where I am now.

On the one hand, because of the high terrain, you can overlook the movement below and in the distance.

On the other hand, the lush trees are indeed a good place to hide, and compared to the surrounding environment, the safety factor is quite high.

After about a few seconds of hiding, I heard a noise.

A voice in the distance!

Since it was the second time I had heard it, this time I didn't need to make a judgment, and I could immediately recognize that I had heard it on the way here.

The kind of sound that I have heard, or what could be called a signal!

Yes!

I turned my head sideways and quickly exchanged glances with the boy. Nodding.

Each other understood what each other meant, and when they heard the sound coming from them, they were approaching and ready to go. By the way, you have to take a look at it clearly.

Who are they?

I believe that two pairs of eyes are staring at a high place, and the identity of the other party can probably see some clues.

The boy was no more than a branch away from me, and he reached out and touched me silently on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.

I frowned, holding my breath as I listened to the sound of horses' hooves getting closer.

Not only the horses' hooves, but also the sound of wheels, that is, a carriage is coming?

Hey, I was surprised by this discovery. I couldn't help but turn my head to look at the boy again.

A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes, and he saw that there was a fork in the mountain where a carriage could be driven. Are there other routes that we don't know?

Thinking that we were strangers after all to an unfamiliar place, the thought flashed through my mind, and I thought I was right.

There seems to be more than one fork in the road nearby, so when we stayed at the eldest lady's house. I haven't heard anything from you. They didn't tell me, what about the tsundere boy?

I turned my head to look at him, and his attention was so focused on listening to the voice that he was not having time to pay attention to!

I suppressed a trace of doubt in my heart, and I always wondered if this guy was also hiding some information.

I know that before parting, the uncle once looked for him and talked to him alone, what did the two of them say at that time?

Looking into the distance, we saw in the distance that a carriage was speeding along the mountain road.

Just as I expected. I'm sure again!

"Strange!" I was surprised more than once, and it seemed that there was a route that I didn't know about the boy.

I can't figure it out. Could it be that the boy deliberately chose a difficult mountain path with me, and he could have a more convenient choice?

If that's the case, it's too speechless!

The boy was beside me, and reached out and knocked on my back, meaning to let me calm down.

This guy is sometimes more breathless than me, but this time he is extraordinarily calm.

I stared at the carriage and saw a rare sight.

The carriage slowed down as it traveled, and the slower it got closer and closer.

The motorist's intent seems to be intent on stopping.

Could it be that they still know where to stay in this area, which is the ruined temple where I stayed with the boy before?

If that's the case, I'm afraid I'll have to change the location!

But okay, my only concern now is that I don't know who is in the car.

Also, how many of them are there?

As I pondered, the familiar signal came again.

As the distance got closer, I could see more clearly that it was the driver who had taken something to his mouth and put it to his mouth, and then blew the sound.

Bamboo flute? It doesn't seem to be, there is a difference in the sound.

The shape looks quite round, not like a flute at all.

The next moment, the carriage finally stopped, and the man driving it was about thirty years old and burly.

He wore an inconspicuous dark robe, and said impatiently to the guy next to him who blew the signal, "Where the hell are you trading?" ”

I was stunned, although I couldn't see their faces clearly, but the outline was generally visible, and they looked sturdy, and they seemed to be practicing their families.

Plus the people in the carriage, wait, he said the deal?

Trading in such a remote place?

A big question mark suddenly appeared in my mind, and I looked sideways at the young man, who gestured at me.

I continued to wait and see.

The complaining voice came from the wind: "After passing through Nanhua Town, I came from the official road, where did I meet after walking all the way for so long?" ”

The driver got out of the car, his tone worse than before, and he counted the other person with a hint of anxiety.

"I can't leave the team for too long, I have to go back tomorrow morning and can't do it, then it's too late!"

At this point, the man's voice gradually lowered, and he deliberately lowered his voice to speak, and there were a few words that I couldn't hear completely.

The man next to him stepped forward and said to him, "The location must be right, in this area, you see where the people from the mountains here come from!" ”

The two men left the carriage and walked a short distance in the direction of the hillside, could it be that they wanted to avoid the people in the car?

They walked to the side of the slope, and the distance was closer, so that I could hear more clearly.

"In addition to us, there is also the other side that trades with us, who will come to this barren mountain and wilderness when they are full!"

"I know you're worried that things won't work out," he paused, glancing into the carriage, "Anyway, you don't have to worry about these people, they can't talk about it, what are you afraid of!" “

"When they get to the Northland, go where they need to go, don't think about it in this life!"

The two of them stood on the mountain road and talked for a long time, most of them the person who blew the signal, and the driver listened to him most of the time.

I'm full! Well, there are really two!

I turned my head to look at the boy, and the ghost had turned his head as well.

I pursed my lips when I looked at him, and the boy smiled noncommittally, and the smile was quite good.

"Fart, I've been looking for so long, and it's almost the same way to go around, how can there be the person you said to answer appear?"

The driver seemed to have lost his patience, walked to the side, reached out and grabbed the man's collar and said, "Could it be that you are talking nonsense, you are not trading here at all, and you are in the wrong place for Lao Tzu?!" ”

"Hey, hey, how dare I," the man begged for mercy, "don't be impatient, they should be here soon." ”

"Let go, if you have something to say, I will never dare to deceive you!"

"Where do I have the guts, let go."

The one who was grabbed by the collar begged for mercy several times and said a good word, and the driver finally let go of his hand, glanced at the thing in his hand that had been blown several times, and said with a disgusted expression: "Such a broken thing, it's also a signal for joints?!" ”

"Sounds like!"

"Believe me, people are coming," the man tried to argue, but he couldn't say anything more because the driver was a little short-tempered.

Of course, he didn't want to be grabbed by the collar again and make an unpleasant fuss, and he finally got rid of it, didn't he?!

So, he pressed his emotions and stepped forward to say a few good words.

The driver turned his head to look at him, and snorted coldly: "Counting the book for detouring in the mountains, it will be necessary to raise the price a little higher in a while." ”

He said angrily: "I will definitely not take this business next time." ”

"I haven't found a few little girls yet, and the money is coming quickly!"

"Where does the little girl succeed, it's all hard work to sell coolies, and these people have to do it."

Seeing that the driver showed an anxious expression again, looking at the sky from time to time, the weather was indeed not very reliable.

The one next to him stepped forward and said, "The price is easy to say, let's add a little more in a while, I believe that the people over there will definitely agree." ”

I gestured with the tsundere boy and asked him if he knew anything about the deal.

He understood my gesture and shook his head.

Judging from the reaction of the tsundere boy, it seems that he doesn't understand what kind of road the person who got off the carriage is! (To be continued.) )
