Chapter Seventy-Four: Bad Associations

The boy looked at me and shook his head. Romance starter? Eight?? One Chinese? Net? w?ww?. 81zw.com

He left the birds he had hunted in the forest on the rocks by the river.

The area around the river beach looks like small rocks and sand, but if you remove the upper stones and sand, the bottom is very wet.

If you want to make a fire on the beach of the river, you have to build some stones at the bottom as a bedding.

I sat down on a big rock on the edge of the river beach and turned my gaze to look at the tsundere boy.

He insisted that I intervene to help, and he said he could do it alone.

Well, but I always have a hard time idle.

I sighed, stared at the busy teenager in front of me, thought about it, and decided that I had to find something to do.

So, I walked around the nearby river beach and in the woods.

I found a bunch of dead branches, looked dry, and threw them together.

Let him choose!

If you can use it when you make a fire, it will help him, even if I didn't follow him in vain, I also made some effort!

I am a person, if I don't do anything, and let me sit idle and watch my companions busy, it will be very uncomfortable!

The boy turned his head to glance at me, a smile on his lips.

After a while, he really used skillful techniques to set up a barbecue rack near the river beach.

He then went to the river and cleaned the harvest

Gu Qimei arrived at the yamen on the side of Nanhua Town, and as soon as she entered, she didn't bother to say a few words of greetings before she directly found the official who handled the pioneer camp.

When the other party saw Gu Qimei's outfit and the horse she was riding, what else could he not understand, so naturally 1510 explained all the doubts in the case.

The Sealand army originally had soldiers and horses stationed in Nanhua Town.

This is because the valley in the northwest was originally a good place to raise and hide soldiers.

This time, when the empress went north to the battlefield, didn't she also stop in that valley halfway?

Gu Qimei listened quietly to the official's account of what had happened.

During this period, she frowned several times, and interrupted the other party several times in the process of listening.

Even if the official was not directly facing the empress, seeing the people under the empress was also under great pressure.

Fortunately, they were not sure whether the empress would come to Nanhua Town in person because of this matter, so they still made some preparations.

At this time, in the face of Gu Qimei's questions, she was basically able to ask and answer, and there were some unreasonable points. Even if he didn't say it vaguely, Gu Qimei could guess it.

Regarding conscription, there will always be some catty things in the middle, and they can be placed everywhere.

There has been a human trafficking incident in the southern border of Zealand before. There are also children of large families who pay for someone to replace them, these Gu Qimei knows

The guards who followed walked behind Gu Qimei, and the two of them left the yamen one after the other and rode to the streets of Nanhua Town.

Gu Qimei has something on her mind, so she naturally can't get up easily, but she has to return to her life when she goes back. She also needs to put her thoughts in order.

Therefore, after leaving the yamen, she silently led the guards all the way to the streets of Nanhua Town.

Leaving the horse on a calm street corner, Gu Qimei walked directly to the most prosperous street in the town.

I was in time to hurry, and the time I stayed at the yamen was short, so I had the kung fu to drink a cup of tea at this time. Sister-in-law Suo Ke Er said the Internet, and the most suspicious Yan Qing girl said

Sitting in a teahouse in the town, Gu Qimei's snacks and tea came up quickly.

She eased her tense expression, lowered her head and took a sip of the tea that ran to her, but she was slightly stunned.

Although the town is small, the tea she drank was beyond Gu Qimei's expectations, and it actually tasted very good.

She tasted two pieces of pastry. There was also a look of surprise in his eyes.

The craftsmanship of the dim sum chef here is really good.

The guard sitting beside her had been looking at her with apprehensive eyes, and several times he wanted to speak, but he didn't know how to ask.

Gu Qimei noticed the reaction of the guard next to her, but at this moment she was still unsettled, and she didn't care to explain more.

She thought that she would wait for a rest, and after drinking her tea, she would leave the town, and it would not be too late to talk to the guards on the road.

She sat at the window facing the street, her gaze unconsciously sweeping over the people coming and going on the street.

Despite the imminent war, the people in Nanhua Town could not see the tension at all, because it was far from the Northland. Not so much to worry about for the time being.

Gu Qimei glanced at the pedestrians on the street a few times, and suddenly her eyes froze, as if she saw a somewhat familiar face in the crowd!

Gu Qimei suddenly stared in the direction where that person was!

How can it be so familiar? Where the hell have I seen it!

Smoke and fire lit up on the riverbank, and I watched as the boy flipped the branches of the trees with the food forked. He turned to look at me.

"Young Master, do you say that the people in Zhuangzi can see us roasting and eating here?" I asked.

The young man's hand moved, and he turned his head to look at the other side.

He thought for a moment and replied in a low voice, "It's about visible." ”

"But there are always people passing by in the mountains," the boy paused, thinking for a moment. His gaze turned to me.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he slowed down his tone and continued: "Xiaoling, it's a very common thing to get something to eat in the forest. “

"Xiaoling, even if they see you and me from a distance, it won't be good!"

The corners of the young man's mouth tugged slightly, and he said in a somewhat casual tone.

"Young Master, did you say that the people who asked for directions earlier have already arrived in Zhuangzi, or is the place where they went is not in this area?"

I've always had questions in my heart, and seeing that the atmosphere is good at this moment, I want to ask the tsundere boy.

Seeing that he was in a good mood and was serving food, maybe he would like to say a few more words to me.

The young man was slightly stunned, his expression instantly became a little subtle, and he did not answer me immediately.

The tsundere boy insists that he made the right choice and that he is not on the wrong path.

It's also unlikely that he would admit his mistakes, and based on this premise, I assume that those people are in a different path than we are.

Otherwise, how could there be no follow-up trails along the way?

I knew there were more of them than we were, they were a team, and there were only two of us, the boy and I.

If a group of people came down from the cliff, there would definitely be obvious marks, but we had been careful before, and we didn't find anything suspicious.

"I don't know."

The boy calmly threw over three words and said no more.

All right. Although I was depressed, I couldn't worry much about him, the eldest young master's temper was like this.

If he was willing to tell me, he would have taken the initiative to bring it up. He didn't want to say more, what was the use of asking!

I turned my head and looked at the cliff where I had worked so hard with him.

Speaking of which, the road is really difficult to walk, and it is very dangerous to go up or down.

I wonder if the villagers in the village ahead had no other way to go. It's so hard to get up and down here every day.

Alternatively, you can follow the large lake that leads to it and take a boat to the other side of the river.

But when I was looking at the lake with my boy from the cliff, I didn't see a boat at all.

When you think about it, it's incredible!

That lake seems to be purely a landscape, a scenery for viewing.

"Xiaoling," I was wandering when I heard the tsundere boy shouting to me by the lit fire. I immediately retracted my thoughts and turned to look at him.

The boy handed over the roasted meat.

He used a dagger to break down the prey directly by the stream, and it was easier to eat when it was roasted on a branch, and conversely, it took less time to cook.

I reached out and took it, silently bowing my head to eat, and the boy turned his gaze to me several times, as if he had something to say, but he still held back.

When I was almost finished, the boy asked me, "Xiaoling, is it enough?" ”

He didn't ask. I've long wanted to say that I've eaten enough, but he's hunted and roasted with his own hands, and I'll always take it because of the affection.

"I'm full, just wait for a walk to eliminate food." I stood up and looked at him. "Young Master, take a rest and wait for me to clean up this place."

Although this is a deserted place, I don't want to leave traces of barbecue food, and it will be seen lightly.

When I used to walk with Yun Chu in the mountains, I learned a little from him.

Where there are obvious traces of staying. Try to clean up when you leave.

You don't know if there's anyone tracking you down!

What's more, it's an eventful time now, and the war in the North is pressing!

I have been walking in the mountains with the tsundere boy for less than two days, and I have already met people from the Sealand army, people from different races who trade in the mountains, and those two people who look like hunters in the mountains and bandits in the mountains.

When you meet more people, you will inevitably have to be more careful.

The tsundere boy didn't shirk this time, and he didn't mean to take it all in.

He sat down on the bluestone on the river beach to rest, his eyes following me, watching me busy cleaning up over there.

The stones that had been piled up bulldozed to their original state, and I threw the stones blackened by the firewood straight into the river.

In addition to the remaining dead branches, I picked them up and walked into the forest and threw them away, still where they were.

I walked back from the nearby woods and looked at the cleaned place on the riverbank.

If you look at it roughly, you can't see it, but if you are a professional tracker, you can follow the clues and see that someone once stopped here to make a fire.

So far, at least, I haven't seen anyone tracking me and the tsundere.

The weather in the mountains can be changeable, and it will rain from time to time.

I have experienced the changeable climate with him since I entered the mountains.

I think if it rains tonight, all the remaining traces will be washed away after a heavy rain.

The young man sitting on the stone saw me looking down at the place carefully, and couldn't help but stand up and walk over to me and said in a gentle tone: "Xiaoling, it's okay." “

The young man glanced at me and said in a serious tone, "You've checked it all, it's detailed enough." ”

"Xiaoling, who taught you?"

The boy asked in a deep voice, his scrutinizing gaze resting on my face for a moment.

I was shocked in my heart, of course I understood what he meant, but there was a voice in my heart reminding me that I should never say much about Yun Chu.

So I shook my head, and said in a very calm tone to the young man's gaze: "Walking outside, Orion, Mountain People, I've seen it." ”

"I'm just learning the same, I can't teach!"

I turned my head, thinking about digressing from the subject, and my eyes swept over the mountain village some distance away.

My gaze froze for a moment, and then I turned my head to look at the tsundere boy in some strange way.

He was very keen, and immediately followed my line of sight in the direction of the mountain village, and then turned to me and asked, "Xiaoling, is there something wrong?" ”

Usually, when I was walking outside with the tsundere boy, he would easily ask this sentence, as if every time he asked, I was thinking about things.

I looked down and thought about it, this time I had better tell him the truth, and I did feel a little strange in my heart.

"Young Master," I nodded with a deep groan, "is there something we were cooking on the river beach just now, have you seen the village over there?" ”

I raised my head to look at the tsundere boy and asked in a calm tone.

"Xiaoling, what are you talking about?"

The young man's good-looking eyes flashed with a hint of confusion, and he looked at me for a moment, as if he could figure out my expression and see what I was thinking at the moment.

"I think it's a little strange," I continued, after a pause, to the boy, "what time is it?" ”

The young man was confused, he raised his head and looked at the sky, then his eyes retracted, looked at me and asked, "Xiaoling, it's almost time now, what are you asking for?" ”

He paused, and then asked me, "Xiaoling, are you worried that you won't be able to see the village over there in the place where you don't settle tonight?" ”

"That's right, young master, it's about the time of unitary, but look at the village over there, isn't it a little weird?"

I turned my head and pointed ahead, and asked the boy, "I can't smell the slightest smell of cooking smoke, and I can't see the villagers over there lighting a fire to cook, and it's not the Cold Food Festival right now." ”

"Young Master, don't you think it's abnormal?"

As soon as the words fell, the young man's face changed, he looked ahead, looked at him stunned for a while, and then said to me: "It is indeed wrong to be told by you. ”

"Could it be that something happened in the village over there?"

I immediately had a bad association, and my eyes were fixed on that direction.

"Let's go, you can come with me and have a look."

With that, the young man walked to the side of the stone, put the burden and bow and arrow on his shoulder again, and he turned his head and urged me.

I picked up my baggage and immediately followed him towards the village in front of me.

I followed the boy through a field, and I could see that the village was getting closer and closer to me.

I frowned, even as I walked down the road, thinking about the question I had thought about earlier.

Looking at it this way, whether there is something going on in the village or not, one thing we can be sure of is that there must be another way. (To be continued.) )
