I hid in a tree, staring ahead for a moment, then turned my head to look at the boy.

I saw that his deep eyes were also looking into the depths of the dense forest.

There was a calm expression on his face.

If you look closely at the small details, you betray him!

Because I saw that the "tool" in his hand was grasping.

You can't see it just by looking at his expression, only his movements represent his inner thoughts at the moment.

In this tense moment, the corners of my mouth were slightly raised, and I knew very well in my heart.

I had just seen the branch he had broken off, and I remembered his movements, and suddenly a thought flashed through my mind.

Could it be that he was intended

I couldn't help but stare at him, still speculating in my mind that the suspense didn't last long.

From afar I saw galloping horses coming from a bend in the road.

Looking up, two people were clearly seated above.

I frowned and looked ahead, thinking to myself, who are those two people who came on horseback?

There is no clue about the identity of the other party for the time being, because the two people and the horse seem to have appeared out of thin air.

After going through a few levels with the boy, I finally managed to climb the rocky slope smoothly.

In the meantime, the process was difficult, and I thought that after going up the stone slope, the forest in front of me should be better walked, and at a glance, it was not like the previous state of the forest covered with fog.

We were taken aback by the fact that the seclusion of the area was so impressive.

Walking in the inaccessible woods, all I hear is the sound of my own breathing and the wind.

In this case, all of a sudden, someone pops up. Anyone would feel a little panicked!

We were still some distance away, and we couldn't make out the faces of the people on horseback, so we had to wait for them to get closer before we could find out.

And yet at the moment. I'm not as nervous as I used to be when I'm hiding in the trees.

After self-regulation, my emotions slowly calmed down.

I quietly clenched my fists, silently speculating in my heart, listing it, it is nothing more than a few possibilities.

If the person who comes has bad intentions, it means that there is a greater chance that you will need to do it next.

But judging by the cautious behavior of the tsundere boy who took me up the tree first, he probably planned to wait for a clear look before deciding what to do next.

He has always been a cautious man. This time is no exception.

Didn't he say he was going to escort me to the Northlands, he had a word for it.

At least for now, we're in the dark. Those who came on horseback were in the Ming Dynasty, and our situation was relatively superior!

The person next to me suddenly turned his head, interrupting my thoughts, and my eyes were still focused on his face.

The tsundere boy met my eyes. Suddenly, I was slightly stunned. He was still grasping the branch in one hand, and the other hand was naturally reaching over.

I looked at him puzzled, and he patted me very lightly on the back

The boy pursed his lips, his hand still holding the branch that he had broken off temporarily.

It's not that there are no other "tools", but the things he can think of are a little more lethal.

In his opinion, it is not too difficult to be able to stop a running horse, and preferably not to injure the person riding on it.

Of course. It's based on finding the right way to attack!

In such a tense atmosphere, he sensed the sight around him. I still had the heart to turn my head and glance at the guy who was silent.

Seeing that the person's expression seemed to be more nervous than his own, his eyes kept looking at him, and there was a little confusion in his eyes.

That look looks a little overwhelmed!

The young man's heart moved, and his expression instantly became a little subtle.

A faint smile crossed the corner of his mouth, and he immediately relaxed when he looked at the face in front of him.

After thinking about it, he reached out and patted the guy on the back as a sign of comfort.

Then, with a faint expression, he turned his head and continued to stare in the direction from which the sound came.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves is getting closer and closer!

The process of approaching will be so long because these two people's ears are so good!

I heard the movement from afar, and the time when the other party was getting closer was enough to find a safe place for myself to hide.

The boy's hand holding the branch was not idle.

After a few fiddling strokes, the branch was flexibly "divided" into smaller pieces by the boy's movements.

Of course, the boy has his own purpose, so that the size of each branch looks like a chess piece!

This is the most suitable tool for the intensity of the attack.

The boy had nothing on his body except a dagger for self-defense, and he had always been very confident, confident enough in his skills.

This time he set out from Suzhou, and he did not carry a sword.

If you carry it, it is too much of an eyesore, and it is easy to be noticed by passers-by, and it will add to the chaos instead of helping.

The boy weighed it lightly, then slowly raised his arm and squinted in that direction.

He was silent, still calculating the distance and strength of his attacks, and to be honest, he regarded such an opportunity as a practice in the kung fu testing ground.

Get in touch? You can't miss it either!

The horses galloping in front of them came at a rapid pace around the bend.

After a while, the small branch like a "chess piece" in the young man's hand broke through the air, like an arrow from a bow!

Immediately afterwards, the galloping horse suddenly let out a roar, and its speed suddenly slowed down.

Because it was not a lethal attack, there was room for it, so it did not stop all at once, but continued to move forward.

Then, it's the second and third!

The boy calculated the strength and did not panic at all.

Immediately, the two men were so panicked that they were about to fall!

It's not the first time I've seen a scene like this!

Sadly, it was me who almost fell and gnawed on the mud last time, begging for the shadow area in my heart!

Yes, even after a few days, I can still remember the embarrassing scene at that time, and the shock that the teenager brought to me.

This time, I was just shocked again.

I think I'll get used to watching it!

I witnessed the whole process. deliberately maintained a calm expression, I don't want the guy around me to see my admiration, he is enough to scream!

I watched as the galloping horses stopped.

Anyway. I admire it very much in my heart, the guy next to me is very stylish when he makes a move!

Looking at the two people on the ride, they are no better than my last experience in the mountains.

I don't know if it was scared or what, but both of them fell off their horses!

The dense forest grass in this area is very deep, and even if those two people fall, they will be injured at most, and they will not worry about their lives

Because of inertia, the attack is sudden.

The two men who were riding right away didn't even react. So I didn't have time to grasp the rope on the horse's back with my hands.

The two men fell into the weeds in the woods.

One of the guys was unlucky, his leg was rubbed against the trunk of a tree, and a large piece of skin was broken on his head.

The other didn't see blood. But the leg was also sprained.

The two of them were in a state of panic, and they were trying to get up in the grass in confusion, and the boy had already led me to them.

The one who fell to the ground and hung the lottery didn't even look at us closely. Pull out the knife from your waist and slash at us!

Ay! He didn't even want to think about it!

The wind blows through the woods. Two men tied to the same tree glared at the boy.

Strangely, they almost ignored my existence and stared at the tsundere boy next to me, probably because I didn't interfere with the relationship at all.

In other words, the tsundere boy doesn't need me to interfere, he can do it himself!

I was about to ask what the situation was, when the young man with a gloomy face spoke first.

"Are you villagers living nearby?"

The boy asked, looking at them.

These two guys are dressed in a recognizable manner, and they look like the hunters we saw in the village where we stayed last night.

Generally speaking. It is absolutely impossible for the residents of Nanhua to dress like this.

Besides, they didn't talk much. can still pull out a knife, and the one who can carry the knife with him should be similar to what the boy guessed!

I looked at the tsundere boy, and I turned to one of them.

Eyes turned to him, and I was talking about the unlucky man who fell off his horse and bruised a large piece of his leg.

When the situation is unknown, of course I will not go out to help him heal, the trauma looks terrible, but it is actually fine.

"Tell me more about the way the guys are dressed."

Shicai finally figured out what happened, and the boy guessed correctly, they were the mountain people living nearby.

The two men went out hunting together.

I didn't think about it, I didn't see the prey, but I saw a group of people passing by.

What I didn't expect was that because the other party wanted to inquire about the news with them, the two sides had a dispute.

I guess these two are also talking more impulsively, otherwise they wouldn't have pulled out the knife they were carrying at once.

They live in a different area than where we stayed last night.

It's a deep mountain, and it's not close to the main road.

Looking at their outfits, there must be very few opportunities to get out of the mountains.

There was very little contact with the outside, and there was a conflict with the gang of people who were anxious to find a line.

As a result, it was unlucky, and it is estimated that these two are usually good at hunting, and they are used to being comfortable in the mountains.

I didn't expect that people were masters, and they almost killed them as soon as they made a move.

These two people finally got on the horse, and the other party may have another purpose, because they had to hurry up, and they didn't care about chasing.

They were lucky enough to pick up two lives.

Now, my gaze swept over the two of them, and I saw that their clothes were in tatters, and the animal skin vests that were worn outside to protect them from the cold looked better.

I listened to the injured man stumble over what had happened, and I probably understood.

Their accents are different from those in the Nanhua area, so you have to be careful to understand what they are saying.

I gestured to the boy, anyway, it was so deserted here, and it wouldn't be a problem for the two of them to be tied to a tree for the time being.

I moved away from him and took a step to talk.

I have something I want to ask the tsundere boy in person and hear what he has to say! "Last night, when those people came to inquire about the route, you heard it too," I looked at his face, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I listened to the uncle talking to them, and it was quite polite!" ”

A trace of confusion flashed in my eyes, and I looked at the tsundere boy and continued to ask: "Why did you say that you left so much of a road, and you actually had to kill someone?" ”

I don't understand.

In my opinion, if you meet in Pingshui, just ask for a way, as for the point of getting started?

"However, I think those two people do have a bad attitude," I muttered as I changed my tone, consciously looking at people with a bit of vision, "Look at their appearance and they will conflict with people." ”

Having said that, it's rare to see the kind of person who pulls out the knife first without saying a word!

If it weren't for that, I don't think the tsundere boy would have tied them to a tree.

When you can see what they are dressed at, questioning is the key.

At first, he targeted the horse, meaning he just wanted them to stop and ask for clarification!

Standing there I frowned and thought about it, my eyes met the boy, I didn't understand his silence at the moment, I didn't know what he was thinking!

I looked at him and asked, "Hey, why don't you speak, is there anything wrong with this matter?" “

"Xiaoling, you were wrong," the young man glanced back at the two people tied to the tree not far away, and then turned his gaze back and said, "If I really wanted their lives, these two would not have a chance to live until now." ”

What he meant was that the gang worked hard last night, and the two sides were not in the same rank.

The young man paused, looked at me and said, "Xiaoling, those people are in a hurry, so they just let them go." “

"Have you thought about it? In this respect, it seems that they are really just asking for directions. “

The actions of the other party inadvertently reveal the truth.

"It's very deserted here, so you don't have to worry about the news leaking."

I understand everything he said, and I still have a lot of confusion.

"But young master, don't you think it's strange when I say?"

I thought about it for a while, and said, "They all want to go to the fishing village, and now we plan to go too, what do you think of the place over there?" ”

I had a lot of questions in my mind, and I couldn't find answers for a while.

After a short silence, I looked at the tsundere boy who was thinking with his head down and asked, "How come the mountain people know that Agui knows, and the people in the village also know, but the problem is that when we get here, the people we meet don't know?" ”

The closer the place of residence is to the fishing village, it stands to reason that they will be more knowledgeable people, rather than like now, when they ask about the fishing village, they don't know at all!

The most likely thing that came to mind was that I was unknowingly going down the wrong line with the teenager.

As soon as this thought came to me, I frowned, but I felt that it made sense.

Why don't I see that the road I have traveled before doesn't look like the way I should go to the fishing village?

I had doubts a few times during the process, because I thought it didn't make sense.

On weekdays, if the villagers of the fishing village want to come out, do they have to go through such a dangerous checkpoint to get outside?

Could it be that the mountain people have to take such a big risk when they go to change something?

When I think about it, I just feel that something is wrong! (To be continued.) )
