Chapter 123: To what extent

In a small courtyard in the middle of the mountain.

Because of the preparation before the treatment, and the absence of the male owner of the house, the two guards who followed were assigned by Tianfang to fetch water and take them to the kitchen to light a fire.

He sat at the table in the room with his eldest lady and chatted for a moment, then glanced out of the room again.

Tianfang asked her: "Auntie, are you home alone today?" ”

His tone and tone of voice were always gentle.

It sounds very comfortable, the kind that makes people unconsciously take off their guards.

"My old man drove to Nanhua Town early in the morning."

The eldest lady did not doubt him, and immediately replied after listening.

Nanhua Town? They came from Nanhua Town early in the morning.

Hearing this, Tianfang thought back to the people he had met along the way when he was on the road.

After thinking about it, it seems that I was not too impressed along the way.

In retrospect, it was true that there were mountain people's carriages passing along the way, but they rode away without paying much attention to the passers-by.

Besides, I didn't know what was going to happen next, and I wouldn't deliberately pay attention to irrelevant things.

"Auntie, Wang Shi has gone north, has he already passed this area?"

Tianfang tried to find some topics.

"It's over, I've heard it's over," the eldest lady raised her voice a little, and said with a sigh in her tone, "Someone in our village saw it, saying that it was a long queue of Master Wang, there were so many people." ”

From the capital of Sealand to the Northland, he traveled a long distance in person.

The eldest lady said to the sky: "There are so many people, plus the soldiers on the other side of the north, when the time comes, the people on both sides will fight in the north, I'm afraid there will be chaos." ”

Tianfang diǎn diǎn head said lightly: "That's right." ”

After a while, he lowered his head and thought silently.

Now there are more clues, and the situation is clearer than when he rushed to Suzhou.

Finally knew the exact whereabouts of a diǎn little junior sister.

Now the "brothers" must have gone deep into the mountains.

Although Tianfang didn't know what they were going to do, at least he knew where she was going, so that he could make a judgment next os_.

By the stream, I straightened up.

The mountain wind is blowing, and after washing, I feel refreshed.

I looked up into the distance.

The direction we came from, there was nothing unusual here, and the mountains and forests were as quiet as ever.

Actually, I guessed it a long time ago!

Mainly because the area is so remote that few people will get here.

Right now, we're in a more remote place than we were when we stayed near the mountain people's homes.

There are at least some trails in that area, which lead to the nearby villages and Nanhua Town.

When I was on my way with the tsundere boy, I didn't expect to meet people of different races on the way, and I also saw the camp they had built.

When I think about it, I feel a little worried.

Put yourself in the shoes of the uncle who was hiding in the cave, how would I get rid of the aliens who might be tracking behind me?

The team that appeared in the mountain village in the middle of the night to find the fishing village, those people

Counting carefully, there were still puzzles to solve, and thoughts flashed in my mind, and I looked at the tsundere boy.

He sat comfortably on the rocks by the brook and waited for me.

Seeing me wash my hands, he didn't urge, looking patient and willing to continue waiting.

Could it be that the guy was not in front of him, and the eldest young master felt that there was no one in the way, so he relaxed?

"Young Master, have you ever dealt with people of different races before?"

After staring at him for a few seconds, I asked him out loud.

The young man looked at me, and when he heard this, he was suddenly stunned, and then replied, "Of course there is, Xiaoling, what do you want to ask?" ”

"Young Master, I want to know, what kind of people from other races are they?" I asked.

It was about this sentence that sounded a little clueless to others, and the tsundere boy also hesitated.

He tilted his head in thought and replied, "The appearance is different from the people here, and it is obvious that there is a difference. ”

"But you've seen these, Xiaoling," he paused, looked at me and continued, "When you were in Suzhou, you went to the streets all day long, didn't you see a lot of people of different races?" ”

What does it mean to wander the streets all day long?

Listen to what this guy has to say!

I knocked on the door of my head and said, "Young Master, of course what I ask is their personality, is it difficult to deal with them?" ”

"What's the difference?"

The young man snorted coldly, turned his head to look at me, and said in a somewhat mocking tone, "Xiaoling, are the people here in Xilan very easy to get along with?" ”

I looked at him in amazement.

His gaze swept over my face, and he said coldly, "Can people in the same place get along well?" ”

"No, in your words, even if they are two brothers, if they grow up together, their personalities may be completely different!"

He changed his tone and said: "There are good and bad, depending on what kind of person I meet, where will I have a conclusion." ”

Hey, this guy avoids the important and takes it lightly, and asking is like not asking!

I shook my head and said, "Young Master, you know what I mean, I'm just asking what you need to pay attention to when dealing with them." ”

"Precautions? Well, there's a sentence I can tell you. ”

After the boy finished speaking, he looked at me with a bit of amusement in his eyes, and suddenly he said two words in his mouth.

Words I don't understand at all!

"What do you mean by that, young master?"

I asked, staring at him in confusion.

"Of course it's the words of the alien race," the young man smiled at me with his elbows in his arms, "Xiaoling, what the master told you, the most important thing to deal with with the alien race is to understand what they say!" “

"So as not to be caught!"

"You don't have a place to go!"

I looked at him with tears and laughter.

The tsundere boy changed his expression more proudly in the next second and said: "Xiaoling, you are going to the Northland, you have to follow the master well, the master can understand the words of the alien race." ”

"All?" I tried to ask.

The boy coughed and said, "At least I can understand a lot, as long as I am better than you." ”

"It makes sense, I have to rely on you when the time comes, and I can rely on you to inquire about the news, so it's convenient to communicate!"

I said in an emotional tone.

The boy placed the cleaned fish caught in the stream on a nearby rock.

He stood up, walked up to me, reached out to pat me on the shoulder, and slanted his gaze to the side, and suddenly stopped.

I gave him a suspicious look, then followed his gaze in that direction.

If you look closely, you can see that there seem to be some marks on the slope.

I immediately frowned, and immediately said to the young man's gaze, "Let's go over and have a look, young master." ”

The young man's head moved, and he muttered quietly as he walked, "Why didn't you see something wrong over there when I was catching fish before?" ”

I glanced at him and responded, "At that time, the eldest young master only had food in his eyes, so how could he pay attention to the surrounding environment." ”

"Who am I for?"

I glanced at him and said calmly: "You can't say it's all for me, you're not on a hunger strike." ”

"Xiaoling, you"

"It's true that you weren't paying attention, anyway," I said, glancing at him.

"Who said that, Ye has always been very careful about what is wrong next to him, but he just wanted to do it before the rain, and he was negligent for a while."

After the boy finished speaking, his gaze lingered on my face.

He stopped and looked at me and said seriously: "I didn't think about it, you are a person, you have good luck every time." ”

"It's really crooked."

"If you hadn't folded back and washed your hands on a whim, you might have ignored the marks on the slope over there."

After the boy finished speaking, he walked forward, and I didn't dare to be careless, and followed him.

I still have the long dagger he gave me!

I thought about it and immediately took it down and held it in my hand.

The young man who was walking in front of him turned around.

He looked at me as if he was facing a great enemy and was still holding a dagger in his hand, his eyes froze, and then the corners of his mouth raised and said, "Xiaoling, don't be nervous, just look at the movement." ”

He added, "I bet there's no one over there." "Be careful, diǎn is always the way it should be."

I whispered.

"Xiaoling, this sentence sounds familiar, by the way, didn't you tell you before?"

"Then you should be happy," I sneered, "I remember what you said, young master, right?" ”

"Okay, that's good."

After some distance, we followed the direction of the stream to a slope.

Behind it is a mountain forest.

As I got closer, a wave of alertness came up, and I couldn't even breathe a little lighter.

At this moment, I and the tsundere boy can see very clearly, and there are really some marks left on the hillside.

"Strange, there is diǎn strange!"

I said two words in quick succession, leaning down to check.

The boy gathered around some of the ashes that appeared to be left over from the burning of dead branches, and took a closer look.

He even picked up some dust to distinguish on his hands.

"Yes, someone has been here." The young man said calmly.

I moved, looked at him and quickly asked, "What's the matter?" Who has been here, can you tell the time? Gentleman? ”

"It wasn't that long ago, I'm pretty sure, this isn't the first time I've seen this."

The young man's tone was still calm, and he looked at me and said seriously, "It's a little earlier than we got here." ”

"However, we have never noticed a similar mark when we came down from the cliffs, including in the cave passages."

I looked at him with a hint of confusion in my eyes and said, "If someone really arrived before us, how could we delay until now to notice the traces left by the other party?" ”

That doesn't sound reasonable.

After walking such a long distance, the other party will always leave to rest or make a fire or do something else, and there will definitely be traces to follow.

However, what we see in this place at the moment seems to have appeared out of thin air.

"Could it be another way, but also get here?"

I subconsciously turned my head to ask the boy.

"You just remembered, it's so slow, Xiaoling."

The boy complained to me unceremoniously.

He crouched down, then looked at the pile of ash on the slope and looked at the meandering stream.

After a while, he turned to me and said, "The other party may have walked along the stream, but it just happened to be too hot when he arrived here." ”

"And where are they now?"

I asked, and my mind couldn't help but make an association.

Who could it be? Is it someone from an alien camp?

Isn't there still a way, and they didn't let go of the one who escaped, so they took another way to arrest him?

If you look at it this way, that guy is alone in a cave, will it?

When I thought about this, I thought I had to go back right away.

The young man stretched out his hand to stop me and said, "It's not the same road, they should be taking another road, have you forgotten the fork in the road?" ”

Right! There was a dispute at first, but there is indeed another way.

"Young Master, which side is the road to the official road?" I asked.

"I don't know for the time being, because it's hard to say."

The boy replied quickly, and his tone didn't sound nervous.

"It's all right for the man to stay in the cave," the boy continued, after a pause, "and besides, the man who stayed must have gone far and would not be nearby." ”

"Young Master, are you sure?" I asked him.

"Of course."

The guy replied quickly, and every time he used a very firm tone.

He has always had enough confidence in his own judgment.

Think about it, I ran away from the Suzhou Chengdong Mansion in the middle of the night, and he was able to intercept me in Shun Lì, Nanhua Town, a distance away!

Well, the eldest young master is indeed no problem in terms of mobility.

"Are we going to meet those people next? How many people are there, young master? "I asked two questions in quick succession.

The boy thought for a moment and then replied, "Not much, just a few people, no more than three anyway." ”

"Huh," I replied, looking at him in surprise, "so I don't think it's a foreigner!"

"If they go out to track, the camp has a lot of people, why would they only send three people?"

I didn't understand this diǎn, and the boy immediately explained it to me.

"It may be that the number of people has been assigned, and the people they sent have divided into several groups to track him down."

The boy replied simply.

He stood there and thought about it, but still said to me: "Xiaoling, they have already left, don't worry about this." ”

His face sank and said, "If we encounter them along the way next, we will deal with them head-on." ”

After changing the route, I encountered new situations one after another, and I just felt that more and more people were coming in!

From the beginning of seeing people of different races, I had a vague premonition in my heart that it was not good.

At this point, the group became a team of three, and that feeling still haunted me from time to time.

"I hope not," I muttered to myself, "I hope to go my own way, as long as I can follow the official road." ”

As I spoke, a smile suddenly flashed across the boy's face.

He lowered his head and looked at me after thinking, and said with a deep gaze: "Xiaoling, is it?" So what if it disappoints you? “

Hearing this, I immediately became nervous, and my eyes stared at the tsundere boy and asked.

"Ah, young master, what do you mean by that?" (To be continued.) )
