I think it's simpler than him, no one is in Suzhou City, what do you worry about so many things, and I'll do it when I get there.

In his position, he is still in the mountains, what kind of heart does the eldest young master!

In my opinion, it's not too late to wait until you get to Suzhou.

I really can't understand him, what's the use of worrying at this time?

Listening to my understatement, the young man couldn't help but raise his head and look at me and said, "Xiaoling, where do you live in Suzhou?" ”

"Speaking of which, I'm still a little bit big."

I was glad that he was no longer dwelling on the original problem, and I didn't expect the boy to mention what I was having a headache at this time, which was unexpected.

I frowned and sighed, my eyes staring at the thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground, "Hey, I didn't have to worry about taking a boat to Suzhou with them." ”

I blinked my eyes, looked at the mountains and forests in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "When we were on the boat, we said that someone should pick us up as soon as we got ashore." "In Suzhou City, there were people who had arranged it, and my friend also went over there in advance."

Speaking of this, I sighed, and said in a wistful tone: "But now, after being robbed like that, and being delayed in the mountains for several days, I don't know what happened to the people who came to Suzhou City first at this time." ”

"I really can't say it."

I glanced at him with a twinkle in my eyes, then frowned and muttered to myself.

"Because I only know what they said, that the house they live in is in the east of the city, and I don't know anything else."

I haven't been to Suzhou. It's a completely unfamiliar place, and I don't have any concept at all.

I said a few words in a row, and my eyes suddenly lit up. Almost at the same moment, the teenager's body also moved.

His eyes were fixed on me.

That's right! What I didn't understand before, the vague impression that was always swirling in my mind - isn't that the location?!

The two overlap!

"All east of the city?" The young man and I met eye contact again, and the two of us said in unison.

In the next second, the two of them couldn't help laughing, they had already mentioned it before, and everyone ignored it!

What a coincidence!

Watch the boy bow his head and fall into deep thought. I smiled and pursed my lips and asked him, "What do you think of, tell me!" ”

The young man thought for a while and said, "Xiaoling, you don't know that you haven't been to Suzhou." “

The boy explained to me, "But it's not the first time I've been there. Xiaoling, in the east of the city, there are houses where rich people live. ”

I was stunned, this senior brother didn't seem to have mentioned it, and I knew that the conditions of his resettlement in Suzhou were definitely not bad. The so-called rich area?

Senior brother is probably hiding from Qingjing. My first reaction!

And I heard the young man mention it, I think the area of the houses in the east of Suzhou City must be not small, there are many people under the senior brother, and some arrangements are made to avoid people's eyes and ears, so as not to leak the rumors, and they are all quiet when they are carried out, so what the young man mentioned should also be reasonable.

The young man said thoughtfully: "Your family"

Listen to me. The teenager will definitely have his thoughts.

I quickly shook my head and said, "It's not my own home, don't get me wrong!" ”

"Do you know exactly which street you are on?" The boy saw that I spoke out against it. Immediately shifted the focus and continued to ask me for the location.

"I don't know, I only know the east of the city, probably in the east of the city."

I replied, my mind turned, and asked the young man: "How far is the house on the east side of the city from the dock of Suzhou City, where we originally planned to go ashore?" "Let me think about it," the boy said in a hesitant tone, bowing his head, "I haven't been there for two years." ”

"The last time I remembered that when I went to Suzhou, I took the waterway, and then when I went ashore, I saw that they were building a road to the city, and the people of the imperial court had to pass through Suzhou to go to the north." "Not far." The young man thought for a moment before he said, "If you take the carriage, it will be faster, and you can go directly to the dock, and the two sides are connected." ”

"But some people don't take shortcuts, they like to go around the city, it's more lively."

I nodded and said, "If we come ashore from the docks, I'm sure I'll take a carriage around the city." ”

To the point!

"When you're on the road for a while, you can also tell me what delicious specialties there are in Suzhou City, and where you can go to play."

I snapped my fingers, looked at the young man and smiled, "I'm almost asleep in the car, so it's not so boring for you to talk to me." “

The young man looked at me speechlessly and said, "Xiaoling, aren't you a little worried?" "No, it's easy for me to figure it out, and of course I'm worried, it won't be long." I smiled and looked at the boy, and I couldn't help but reach out and pat him on the shoulder. "You have to learn this from me, young master!"

"I have an idea, I don't know if you agree, Xiaoling!" Suddenly, the young man hesitated.

"I agree!" Without waiting for him to speak awkwardly, I said briskly, "You must want to say that if you arrive in Suzhou City very late, you will go to your house to borrow it for one night, and then set off to find it at dawn." ”

"Isn't that so?"

The boy looked at me in surprise and nodded.

I knew he would say that, I could have guessed!

"I don't need you to mention it to you," I smiled, "it's not good to wander around Suzhou City in the middle of the night." ”

I looked at him and said, "If I run into a ruffian or something, I'm afraid of being kidnapped again." ”

"No, don't worry, what happened on the ship was a complete accident," the young man said in a resolute tone, "I will tell you the truth when I find out later." ”

Hearing this, I glanced at him with anticipation in my eyes and said, "Okay, you are the eldest young master, I believe in your connections and abilities in Suzhou City." “

I nodded thoughtfully, looked at him and said, "When the time comes, you have to tell me exactly what it is, let's make it clear here." "No problem."

The two men talked for a while in the woods when they heard the shouts of the coachman. The boy took a few steps and waved at me

The carriage turned, and a rugged mountain road appeared in front of it.

The driver turned his head in the front seat and said to me, who was looking at the window in front of me, "This is the past." It's a dangerous place. "Every year during the rainy season, the water under the bridge over there is very fast," the coachman whipped his horse, "and on a few occasions it was almost overrun." “

I thought back to the location of the town and asked the coachman, "Is the water here connected to the river over there?" ”

The coachman shook his head and said, "No, the river connected to the tributaries of the river is still ahead, and the water in this area is all coming down from the mountains." ”

"There is a lake on the mountain." I listened to the coachman. I suddenly remembered that the most expensive fish I had eaten in the town was a seasonal dish in a restaurant.

What do you mean by running the hall, the fish caught in the nearby mountains?!

I asked the coachman. As I expected, it was the fish caught in the lake.

Saying this, I turned my head to look at the young man, and the corners of my lips couldn't help but smile and said, "If only you were there." Isn't it possible to make a lot of money at this time of year? “

The boy's body stiffened. Don't look away from me.

The coachman heard the fog and asked me, "Little brother, are you fishermen?" "I don't think you two look like each other." "Oh!" I was interested, and I leaned closer and asked, "Look at my brother's portrait?"

Before I could finish speaking, the coachman said briskly: "Like a young master from a rich family." ”

I was about to say that he was clumsy, but then I thought of who he was now professing to the outside world, so I had to swallow that sentence.

Quietly don't turn your head and tug at the sleeve of the young man's shirt. I whispered four words to him: "Take your light." “

The boy didn't say a word, and instantly returned to high cold mode.

I didn't pay much attention to him. Continue to make small talk with the driver. "The fish in the lake in the mountains are so expensive in the town, many people will catch them every winter, right?"

I'm more concerned about this, thinking that the fish is one of the reasons why we are shy and make me run the casino, if it weren't for the fish, it might not even cause a storm in the future.

The coachman shook his head again and said: "There are many people who go to catch fish, but the price is not high, and most of the money is made by the restaurant, and the villagers can make limited money." “

"Also, that fish is not easy to catch, a thief." The driver stressed to me.

I looked into the distance, and my heart moved

The carriage went up the mountain, because it was a hill climb, so the speed was not fast, and when I saw the scattered houses on the mountainside, the coachman suddenly said something to me.

"Little brother, there is something I want to discuss with you."

Originally, he wanted to talk to the boy, because he was my nominal "big brother", but the boy was very difficult to get along with in the eyes of others, and his temper was strange, so the coachman asked me when he opened his mouth.

"Little brother, when I drove by two days ago, the mountain people were selling hunted furs on the road." "My old father has bad legs and feet, and he is afraid of the cold in winter, so I bought a fox skin from a villager in the middle of the road."

The coachman paused, and continued: "At that time, I didn't have enough money on me, so I told the villager that I would bring him the insufficient money when I drove by the next time." ”

"The guests who came to town in the middle of the night were too rushed, and I couldn't go to the house at that hour." "It's still daylight, and if you agree, I'd like to stop when you pass ahead."

"It's a trivial matter, you can just watch it, as long as it doesn't take too long." I said yes.

The coachman smiled: "Little brother, I'm also in charge, don't worry, it won't be delayed for too long." ”

I told the coachman that I was okay, and turned to look at the boy, but his reaction was a little unnatural, perhaps because he did not approve of my temporary promise to the coachman to stop on the mountain.

I moved over and asked him, "Big brother, what do you think?" ”

If there was a different opinion, why didn't he stop it just now?

The young man said in a deep voice with a faint expression: "It's good that you decide, Xiaoling." “

The carriage passed the village on the hillside, and past the gates of several houses, and the coachman parked the carriage under a tree.

The path on the slope leads down, and the courtyard of a mountain family is seen above.

At first glance, it looks a bit like the eldest lady's house where we lived. "Is this one?" I glanced through the window and asked the coachman. "That's right!" "I'll go down with you and have a look, and let my eldest brother stay in the car." I turned to the boy and winked, and he nodded in agreement.

I walked up the sloping path on the hillside with the coachman to the courtyard.

The coachman shouted at the door, "Is there anyone?" ”

A short time later, a thin woman of about forty years of age came out, and saw the driver with some alarm in his eyes.

"Are you in charge?" The coachman looked at her and saluted, "Two days ago I passed by the mountain, and he sold me a skin, and I didn't have enough money at that time, but this time I happened to pass by and sent it to you." ”

The vigilance in the woman's eyes suddenly disappeared a lot, and she looked at me who was following behind the coachman, and suddenly her eyes lit up and she smiled slightly: "This is your child?" ”

The coachman hurriedly shook his head: "It's a guest in the car, and I'm going to Suzhou." ”

I was suddenly embarrassed by the misunderstanding, and quickly nodded to the woman, turned around and walked up the mountain path.

At first, I wanted to see the yard of the house, but that dispelled my original thoughts

Back to the carriage, I saw the boy approaching me with relish.

I knew he had seen it all, and when I got in the car, I asked him, "Is it pretty?" ”

"I just guessed, that's why I didn't go down with him." The boy replied with a low smile.

"No, it's not like you at all when you go down, the main thing is that you look fierce, you don't look easy to provoke, I'm more likable."

"The coachman's child?" The young man said with a little disdain in his voice.

I didn't like his tone very much, I suddenly became angry, and frowned: "What's wrong with the coachman's child?" I just want to be misunderstood and embarrassed, even if I am a rich person, I am just as embarrassed to be misunderstood as someone else's child for some reason, and it has nothing to do with his identity. ”

"For example, you, you are rich enough, if you are mistaken that I am your child, I will be embarrassed!"

The young man choked, coughed several times in the mountain wind and said, "Xiaoling, what kind of broken metaphor are you, are you so old?!" ”

"The baby who misunderstands the master, and the one who misunderstands the master is almost the same!"

The young man hesitated, suddenly swallowed a few words, and the eyes that looked at me became a little something.

The key is that this guy's eyes are still wandering, the kind that sees his feet from the head.

I got goosebumps when he saw it!

I was still wearing men's clothes, and it occurred to me that he was looking at me like this, and that look didn't mean that he imagined me to be his

I'm not feeling good!

Fortunately, the rescuers arrived, and the coachman came back from the small courtyard on the mountain, with an extra bag in his hand, and handed it to me directly through the window and said, "That one gave it." ”

"That aunt just gave it?" I asked.

The coachman smiled and said, "Little brother, open it and take a look, it is the dried fruit dried by the mountain people." “

I opened the bag, it was really full, and I ate one casually, sour and sweet.

The depression suddenly dissipated, I smiled, my mood suddenly improved, and I hurriedly thanked the coachman! (To be continued......)
