At this point, I paused for a moment and looked at the young man and said, "If you want to think like that, it seems to make some sense." ”

"You'll know when you see the cabin."

I turned my head to look in the direction I came, and from where I was standing, I couldn't see the entrance to the cave anymore.

"I look at the marks on that room, it seems to be many years."

I thought about it: "I also went in and looked inside the house when I was getting firewood. ”

"From what I've seen, it's been a long, long time since anyone has been in that room."

I paused in my tone and muttered, "Could it be that I really had a home and later moved away?!" “

The boy sat down on the stone and gasped for breath, and waved his hand as a fan.

Hearing this, he looked back at me and said, "Xiaoling, didn't you say that?" At least be closer to the water source and have easier access. ”

"In my opinion, even if you judge it right, it's okay."

The young man said in an indifferent tone: "It's not like staying here for a lifetime!" “

His words made my heart skip a beat, and I quickly responded, "Let's go on." ”

"While it's still early, I want to go farther along the road today."

I helped the boy to the edge of the stream, squatted down and picked up the cold and clear stream with my hands, and said, "The fish we eat is caught here." “

Looking back at the young man, I saw that his face suddenly turned red: "Xiaoling, can you avoid it?" “

Avoid? I was stunned and reacted immediately!

I couldn't help but smile and nodded, "Okay." I'll just walk away and follow the stream for a while. ”

After thinking about it, I added before leaving, "Call me when you're well." ”

"It was quiet. The voice travels far away, you call me, I can hear it! “

As I had agreed with him, I walked a short distance in the direction of the current, listening attentively to the movement on the other end.

Although I knew that this awkward young master would definitely not call me over so quickly, I had to be careful just in case.

His hands are not very convenient at this time, and he has not fully recovered.

Come to think of it. My hand slammed, should I be called for help in a moment, so what should I do?

Turning around, he suppressed the thought. Probably not!

This person is very shy about this, and he is replaced by a big grinning person, in case he really thinks of letting me help wipe his back, I don't know how embarrassing it will be!

I deliberately went the extra mile. Separate greater distances.

Stop by the stream. I was not idle, and now I was empty-handed, and the firewood was placed on the stone beside me.

I happened to catch a few fish, and I hadn't eaten since I woke up early in the morning!

I've seen this mountain forest for a long time, but what makes me depressed is that there is no fruit connected to the trees, and I thought that I would be lucky enough to find more food.

After confirming my walk in the woods yesterday, I rolled up my sleeves and walked back and forth by the stream to pick a place.

I spotted one. Decided to use the stupid trick I used yesterday.

At the edge of a low-lying pothole in the stream, I started to build a simple dam with stones I found along the stream.

I spotted the spot. Start getting to work.

As I was struggling to move, I suddenly heard a slight footstep behind me.

I panicked, and the stone in my hand almost didn't fall and hit my own foot!

When I turned around and saw that it was a young man, I immediately got angry and said, "You won't say a word when you approach?" It's silently scared to death! ”

The boy didn't answer and continued to approach my position!

He looked down and saw the simple embankment by the stream that I had built at the beginning of the work, and immediately laughed and asked, "Xiaoling, are you planning to catch fish?" ”

"Do you need to talk about it?"

"Don't you like the eldest young master again?"

I glared at him angrily and said, "The grilled fish you ate yesterday was all caught by me, and I used this method." ”

"But yesterday I picked the most convenient and convenient place to intercept," I changed my tone, "but today I was occupied by you, and I can't go back!" "I had to settle for the next best thing and chose this place."

At this point, I looked at him angrily and turned my head away.

"Get out of the way, I'll have to get on with my business," I said, pointing to a bluestone path under a tree not far away, "You go and sit there, and then I'll catch a fish before I can go on my way." ”

The boy didn't move, standing in front of me like a wall.

I touched his arm and said, "Hey, what's the matter with you, get out of the way!" ”

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw the young man reach out and pull a dead branch from the tree and plunge it into the stream.

All I heard was a screeching sound breaking through the air, and then I saw a big fish in the water that had been stuck in the water and was struggling.

That's so accurate, uh a little bit of that!

Although the boy was injured in one hand, and his strength was far less than before he was poisoned, I watched him catch fish with ease.

I remember when I first arrived at the cave and settled down, he came back with a large string of fish.

As you can imagine, the scene of him catching fish must have been more handy at that time!

I watched him catch the fish a few times, and lowered his head in despair.

The cruel reality shows that in the face of absolute strength, the hard work I have worked so hard is simply not enough! "Xiaoling!" The boy shouted at me and said, "What are you still doing in a daze, stringing the fish I caught together, and bringing them over later." ”

I looked up and saw a few big struggling fish on the ground by the stream struggling to get up.

I walked over, held them down, and pulled the grass by the brook and strung them one by one.

"You can go!" The boy bent down to wash his hands in the stream, and I continued with him in the direction of the stream.

When the sun was at its peak, the boy and I finally arrived at the cabin I had found.

The young man walked in and walked around, and immediately walked out of the door, frowning and said, "Xiaoling, this place is too simple!" ”

It looked like no one had been in it for years, and I arrived yesterday looking for something. Also roughly cleaned up.

Now the eldest young master has seen my initial clean-up appearance, but the dissatisfaction on his face is clearly written there!

"I know."

Seeing that he didn't want to stay in the hut, I went over and helped him to sit at the door. Raise your head and look into the distance.

The stream turned a short distance away and flowed into another mountain forest.

"It should be downstream of the stream," I inferred visually, "I'll explore the way later, and you stay here to grill the fish and eat it." ”

"Wait until I look ahead," I blinked, "if I find the dwellings of the mountain people." I'll come back and pick you up with me. ”

It's a plan that was conceived from the beginning!

I said a few words in quick succession, asking for the teenager's opinion.

He shook his head and said, "Xiaoling, you don't have to be in such a hurry. Eat something first, too. ”

"Yes, I forgot about this stubble, or why did I work so hard to catch fish?!" I pursed my lips and smiled at him embarrassedly.

The mountain breeze outside the house is a bit strong. I turned back into the house and prepared the wood-fired fish.

When you enter the door. I also cleaned the "kang" again and wiped the dust off it

After the two of them finished a simple meal, I simply cleaned up the place where the fire was roasted, especially the "kang" that allowed the boy to sit and rest, this is the third time I have cleaned up!

The difference is that this time it's done more thoroughly.

I took out all the straw that I had gathered on the kang and carried it outside, pressed it with a stone, and dried it at the door to get rid of the smell.

Hands are tidying up. I suddenly remembered something that I and he had overlooked, something very important!

"Oops!" I changed my face and walked back into the house and looked at the young man sitting on the kang and said. "I didn't bring the quilt from the cave, what will I cover it at night?"

The boy looked at me, looked at each other, coughed and said, "It doesn't really matter if you want that or not. ”

"How can it not matter?" "I'm fine, there's still a fire roasting at night, and there's more firewood here, so it's okay to use it for two nights."

"But you can't, you're still injured, I'm afraid you'll be cold at night." I thought about it worriedly, then patted my head and said, "No wonder I was always restless at first, and I couldn't help but look at the cave after walking a long way. "I knew something must be wrong, and it turned out that I had forgotten such an important thing!"

I lowered my head in embarrassment and thought for a while, "Well, when I come back from my exploration, if I don't find a mountain people's house to spend the night, I'll go back and get the quilt." ”

"Do you think it's okay?" I looked up at the boy, met his eyes again, and was stunned!

There were too many complicated emotions in his eyes that I couldn't understand.

After a while, he gently moved closer to me, leaned over and said softly: "Xiaoling, I'm not as weak as you think, you don't have to worry." ”

"I told you, it doesn't matter if you have that quilt or not!"

I blushed and came out of the cabin as if I were running away, and I kept telling the guy what he was talking about, and what was he doing so close!

Even if it's a stranger, but there is a difference between men and women, I can't tell how awkward it was at that moment!

I patted the dust off my body, washed my face in the cold water, and continued walking.

I was going to go on at least an hour, and if I could find a house, I would have time to help the boy with me before dark.

Counting the time back and forth, I will be able to walk alone faster than I will take him later

On the mountain road, shops selling dim sum and hot tea passed several waves of pedestrians one after another.

A man in his twenties sitting at the table outside lowered his head and put down the tea bowl in his hand, the tea in the tea shop was all coarse, and the taste naturally could not be compared with the courtyard of Suzhou City.

He looked at his companion sitting across from him.

Both of them are subordinates of Tianfang, and they have been waiting for nearly two days in disguise this time, but they still haven't been able to wait for the set goal to appear!

One of the guards looked at the smoky mountain road, and said in a low voice, "Could it be that the news sent is wrong?" ”

"Those two people didn't go out of Suzhou City?"

"Instead, you found a hidden place to hide?"

A hint of hesitation flashed in the guard's eyes, and his tone was also a little uncertain, looking at his companion.

The companion immediately shook his head, took a sip of the tea bowl, and also lowered his voice and said: "The news will not be wrong, at least those two people must have left Suzhou City." ”

"The letter said that I would be back, that is, in the next day or two."

"They have taken over the task in the cabinet, and it must be properly arranged in Suzhou before the arrival of the royal division."

"How can the other pavilion master and that military advisor rest assured that all the matters below will be handed over to the little minions in the pavilion?"

The two guards glanced at each other, and before the one who spoke first had spoken, his companion continued: "You just have to think about it, if our lord does this thing, won't you sit in Suzhou by yourself?" ”

"You have a point." The escort breathed a sigh of relief, and his mind was slightly settled.

He looked at the pedestrians drinking tea and eating crude snacks on the tables around him, and saw that most of those people were dressed as nearby villagers who were planning to enter the city, and there were a few people dressed as business travelers.

"Have you seen those people? Wave after wave, I didn't see anything suspicious. ”

"The Lord said, don't do it here casually until you have to, if you find a suspicious target, quietly follow it and wait until you find an opportunity!"

The companion nodded and said, "Don't worry, we will act in unison." ”

"There is no reason for me to do it first." "If I see someone suspicious, I'll let you know, and we'll be sure."

The two of them picked up the thick tea bowl and touched it lightly, and saw another wave of newly arrived travelers at the bend of the mountain road.

"It's strange these days, Suzhou City is lively when you look at it, and there are many more people coming in and out than when we first arrived!"

"Look at the situation here," the guard said with emotion, "Master Wang is close at hand!" ”

The number of boats docked outside the pier has also increased these days.

Originally, there was only one guard waiting on the dock, but for the sake of safety, Tianfang sent another guard to reinforce it.

Of course, these two people knew each other, but when they arrived at the docks, they didn't know each other.

They each took up under a large tree, waiting for the people who walked up to the dock after the boat docked.

With a keen eye, it is necessary to find the masterminds of the two hijackings among these people.

Tianfang himself also came here in the morning and evening, and he came out of the house in the east of the city in a carriage.

He was much more laid-back than a guard.

The horse-drawn carriage of the day passes through the streets and alleys of the city, and you can take a look at the street scene by the way.

He even tried a few time-honored brands with excellent reputations in the national capital, and when the little girl came back, he could take her to taste it as soon as possible!

Little girl is good for this bite!

The carriage passed by the docks, and only stopped for a moment on the shore, and no one knew why he had always focused on it.

Compared to the checkpoints set up on the other side of the mountain road, it seems that everything here is more interesting to him.

The mind of the Lord is difficult to fathom, and no one will easily ask.

Tianfang lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at the river for a while, then lowered the curtain and told the coachman to start the carriage.

The carriage disappeared at the city gate (to be continued......)
