Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Tail of the Night Voyage
Seeing the tsundere boy walking silently, I finally took a handkerchief from my arms and gave it to him.
"Young Master, this is for you!"
I hesitated and whispered to him.
The young man was stunned for a moment, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes, but when he handed it over, I thought about it and added something to him.
I told him with a serious expression and a solemn tone: "Young Master, remember to return it to me after you wipe it." ”
Very plain sentence.
After hearing this, the young man's face suddenly sank.
He tilted his head and glanced at the handkerchief in my hand, reached out to take it, wiped the sweat vigorously a few times, and immediately handed it back to me.
When he gave me back the veil, he gave me a cold look, looking very unhappy.
From his reaction, it can be seen that this guy is making trouble again!
He turned his head away from me, but muttered something in a low voice, but I didn't hear what he was saying.
At least in my opinion, according to his personality, it won't be a good thing to say anyway.
I'm too familiar with the temper of a tsundere boy to argue with him about this, because there's no point in arguing.
I withdrew the veil to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Anyway, so far, although the tsundere boy is not a guard, he is like a guard who does what he has to do very conscientiously.
Every time there is an obstacle on the road ahead, he is the one who comes out to settle the situation.
Every time I encountered danger, he stood in front of me and resolved it for me.
Thinking of this, I am quite happy in my heart.
Pity. The pleasant feeling didn't last long!
Because even if the people around you are still powerful, the speed of the road and the road conditions ahead have to depend on the other side.
Walking on the mountain road, my eyes looked at the sky several times.
Yes. The familiar feeling is here again, it's such a ecstasy!
The sun had risen in the morning, but now the sky above me was gradually covered by dark clouds.
Looking at the clouds in the mountains is very imposing, as if you have the feeling of appreciating ink paintings.
However, the person in this painting has to add myself, and I am still under this cloud, which is not very good!
I think it was a similar situation last time. It feels like the sky is about to change.
You can't go wrong, time and time again, even people who are not familiar with the mountain weather can tell a few points.
There are few flying insects in the mountains during this season. But the birds in the woods can still see some clues.
I turned my gaze to the boy, who was looking right at me.
Each saw a clear meaning in each other's eyes.
I'm afraid it won't be reliable this day, and it may rain in a while!
The young man sighed, thought for a few seconds, and then approached me and said, "Xiaoling." Find out if there is a place to shelter from the rain! ”
He thought of going with me!
His tone sounded really helpless. I couldn't help but look at him more.
"Xiaoling, isn't it a crow's mouth this time?!"
I heard the boy follow me and shout my name.
I didn't expect him to be haunted by this!
Uh, I came to the conclusion that it was a cautious guy!
As far as the eye can see, the fog that cannot be dispersed on the river surface after nightfall starts from the south of Zealand, and it does not take long to encounter heavy fog.
This is not the first time that this is the case. But the boss of the ship at the helm must not be a little depressed.
He arrived at Silanan and rested for a few days. The man under the son has been found again, and this time he has to go north.
If he wants to continue to walk that channel, he doesn't feel good in his heart, no matter how high the price that the son gives, no matter how much money he gives, he has to have his life to spend it.
If something happens on this trip, it's all in vain!
The captain of the ship was preoccupied, but the guy in the cabin with a hood in his hand was holding a booklet under the lamp and reading it with relish.
The booklet in his hand was given to him by the guards when he was waiting in the deep alleys of the southern city of Zealand.
He didn't know where the boy had collected it, and he was surprised.
If someone hadn't stopped him before, he really wanted to ask that son face to face.
The excitement slowly subsided, and he looked back and thought that if he really asked himself, he would not have the ability of others, so he thought about it or gave up.
Since he can find rare items that ordinary people can't get, presumably the son's ability is very capable, which is also the reason why he promised to be willing to get on the ship in the future.
Not to mention a walk, even if it sails all the way to the Northland, it has nothing to do with him at this time.
All his attention was focused on the booklet in his hand, and his eyes did not miss every word on it
As the ship went forward, it was a different story elsewhere outside the cabin.
"Depending on the situation, the fog on the river is difficult to disperse at night."
Behind the boat boss, I don't know when the guard had already walked over and whispered to him.
The captain of the ship immediately turned to look at the guard, who knew the weather, and those who had walked a lot had learned about the weather.
Several guards were following the man in the cabin on the dock in the southern city of Zealand.
Mr. Bai, who escorted the troupe in the drizzle, that is, the protagonist who walked on a trip for their master, was careful to get to the boat.
According to Tianfang's instructions, Mr. Bai was placed in the inner cabin, and after serving tea and snacks, he exited the cabin.
Along the way, no one talked to the man.
The Mr. Bai of the troupe is a little similar to his master in terms of appearance and temperament, and the reason why he wants to stay at night to board the ship instead of the master is probably due to this consideration.
After all, during the day, there are more and more people coming and going on the pier, and you will see it more realistically.
If you don't carelessly be seen by someone with a heart or come to spy on intelligence, or there will be an incident!
The boat boss sighed, a worried look in his eyes.
He turned his head to look at the guard and said, "Childe is going north after staying in Sealand for a few days, but it's like this weather again." “
"It rained and the river was foggy. The boat is very difficult to walk. ”
"Childe is in a hurry to go north?"
Because it's not the first time I've dealt with them, and I'm facing the guards below. The boat boss was in a slightly lighter mood than last time.
When facing them, it is easy to think that on the way here, the big guys have almost experienced the test of life and death together on the dangerous beach.
In general, shared experiences tend to bring strangers closer together.
From this point of view, they are not too strangers!
The guard nodded, and when he said it, he naturally avoided the important and light, and he said in a low voice: "About yes, Childe's business." We don't ask too much about it, you know. ”
Of course, the captain of the ship understood that these people were a bit like him. It's all about working hard for people to make money, but while they are just running waterways, they have to walk the tip of the knife!
"Last time, that childe often came out to talk, why didn't you see the son come out of the cabin this time?"
The ship's boss glanced in the direction of the inner cabin. He muttered as if talking to himself.
Bring this up. In addition, it has been a while since he drove the boat, and he has not seen the figure of the son, which is completely different from the last time, and after thinking about it, he was puzzled and showed a puzzled look.
It did make him feel a little strange.
I remember that the boy talked to him a lot last time, and when he asked and answered, his tone was gentle, which made people feel as comfortable as a spring breeze.
The guard glanced at him and replied calmly, "Before the prince left, he found a few books in the southern city of Zealand. “
"I don't have time on weekdays. I guess I want to take a look while I'm on the road! ”
The ship's boss nodded knowingly: "After all, it's a scholar." ”
Hearing this, the guard couldn't help but smile. I didn't elaborate on him.
The conversation quickly turned back to the weather.
At this moment, the person under the lamp in the inner cabin still stared at the booklet in his hand without raising his eyes, and everything outside had nothing to do with him for the time being
A guard hurried past the deck, and rounded to the side to find another companion, the one who was standing with the ship's boss and chatting.
He made a gesture, and the other party understood, and immediately left the ship boss's side and came to him.
"The Lord was right, and then the head and tail followed."
In fact, it was later than the Lord took care of them before he went out of the city.
After dark, the fog clears and the line of sight on the river is limited.
At this moment, there are very few ships heading north, let alone keeping a certain distance behind them?
Several guards arrived at the stern of the ship.
Through the fog on the surface of the river, you can see a faint light from a distance, which is naturally the tail that follows behind.
I couldn't see the size of the boat, but according to the common size in the Wharf of Sealand, it should be about the same as the boat they were on now.
The satellite line landed on the shadow of the boat some distance away on the river, and one of them looked at it with an anxious expression and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to inform the boat boss to speed up?" ”
The companion who accompanied him immediately shook his head and said, "No, it's better to keep it at this speed." “
The companion paused, glanced intently at the stern of the boat, and continued: "Before leaving, the Lord has taken care of it, and after leaving the southern city of Zealand, there will definitely be a night sailing ship following you. ”
The Lord spoke it as clearly as if he had seen it with his own eyes!
"He told us not to panic," the guard stared at the river at the stern of the ship.
He bowed his head and muttered for a moment, and then his tone was quite calm, "The Lord said, as long as you continue to go north according to the established route until you reach the next stop." ”
Several guards stood there, still talking in whispers.
It is not the first time that they go out to do tasks or follow the sky to run errands and take on guard duties.
It's been strange for a long time, but every time they encounter the same situation, there is always something to discuss and discuss.
For example, who the followers are or how many of them are there.
Several people whispered, and then their eyes fell on the companion who had spoken up earlier.
He is the only one who has been instructed by the Lord himself to convey the instructions, and they subconsciously regard this as a temporary leader.
When the same group of people comes out, there must be one person who makes a judgment at a critical moment, and this is the one who has taken on this responsibility.
"Who else," he said in a deep voice after hearing his companion's question, "the same group of people who have joined forces with us!" ”
As soon as this remark came out, it caused some shock.
The rest of the people looked at each other, and then answered: "No, it's quite smooth for us to do the task when we were in the national capital." ”
They don't believe it too much!
"This time and that time."
The person who answered the call said in a deep tone: "At that time, both sides had things to do, temporarily working together, but this time it was different!" ”
"Could this be the reason why the Lord temporarily changed his mind and hired Mr. Bai, who sang opera, as a temporary stand-in?"
One of the guards said suddenly.
It was only at this point that he could sort out his chaotic thoughts.
Because before they set out, they didn't quite understand what the Lord was thinking.
The Lord had already ordered him to go down and prepare the ship for the north, which was expected by the big guys.
The little junior sister of the Lord did not have any definite news for a day, and of course he remembered that he would definitely go north as soon as he understood the affairs of the south.
At the same time, there are things that the Lord is secretive.
For example, when to leave, how things are going, the strange fire in the south, all these questions in the hearts of all the people, he has not relieved them.
I heard that the lord has prepared another fast horse and plans to go out of the city, according to the analysis, Tianfang is most likely on the mountain road to the north at this time
"The weather does look a little wrong."
Walking on the path in a hurry, I looked at the sky above my head, "The last time I encountered heavy rain, it was almost like this. ”
"Xiaoling, you follow me closely, if there is a place to rest, don't hesitate, just go in."
The boy's tone sounded quite calm.
He never forgot to emphasize that I should follow closely and not be left behind!
I pursed my lips, and secretly said in my heart that there must be one, and I can't dig a cave out of thin air in the mountain wall.
If it was a heavy rain like the one I had encountered before, the forest basically didn't need to think about it, and it couldn't be stopped.
It has to be a cave or a ruined temple or something like a place where you can stay for a long time.
When I went to Nanhua Town, the rain in the middle of the road was not because of good luck!
As a result, not only did he escape the heavy rain, but he also met Wu Yu, a friend.
The boy didn't know what was going on in my mind, he just hurried forward.
I looked at him, although he was anxious, but he was not to the point of panic.
When we turned the mountain road and went to the path he had told me, good luck came to us in a short time.
I could see a corner of the old eaves in the shaded trees.
"Young Master, this is the boundary you said, there is a place to shelter from the rain ahead."
I know he must have seen it.
"Well, I saw it, Xiaoling, then go straight over."
The boy responded to me, turned his head to look at me, and said, "Can you run?" ”
"Yes," I said, gritting my teeth.
At the critical moment, I don't want to be drenched in soup, I must run with all my strength.
Even if you get there, take a good rest!
Look at the dark clouds in the sky, the rain in the mountains will fall for at least half an hour, I know.
So, the two of them ran up the mountain road, and the goal was naturally a place to shelter from the rain. (To be continued.) )
