I frowned and looked at the boy and said, "What are you doing halfway through what you have nothing to say?" ”

When he spoke, his tone was mixed with some dissatisfaction, and I was really depressed when I looked at him at this time!

"Now that the traps in the forest have passed, do you think there will be another passage?"

I adjusted my mood, turned my head to look around, and asked him, "I just wanted to tell you." ”

Seeing that he still didn't speak, I couldn't help but ask the doubts in my heart.

Because I know that I am not the first to come to this place, isn't there a forerunner ahead?

"The group of people going up and down the mountain in the middle of the night, you and I both know it."

"I was watching the whole team from behind the window, and it added up to a lot of people."

As I spoke, I paused again, and after thinking about it, I continued to the young man: "Those people are practitioners. “

"They must have sensed the danger when they explored the way first."

Of course, I have my reasons, and I would like to analyze them together and discuss them with the tsundere boy so that I can make the right judgment on the next move.

They wanted to find the location of Longyuan Lake, the unfamiliar name of the place.

The relatively useful information we received in the village did not differ much from what we had learned.

With all that said, Yuzhuang became the next target, and they were most likely to find clues over there.

Now that those people have figured out the cause and effect, they naturally want to take this necessary path.

The problem is that we see so many traps in the foggy forest, and no one is trapped.

They must have passed the test of the forest safely.

Then. It's the mountain people, and as for him, I turned my head and looked at the mountains and forests I passed by.

I think anyone in the village who has dealings with the fishing village should be familiar with the situation over there. Maybe there's a shortcut as I guessed.

Agui doesn't have to be on this path.

Unlike me and the tsundere boy, who are very new to this place, the only comfort is that this road has always had a direction, except for not worrying about getting the wrong direction, everything else has to worry.

When Gui spoke, including what the people in the village talked about when they were drinking tea with us, I have reason to believe that they were hiding some of it.

Because it has come to this point. My feeling was that the fishing village was a hidden place, and they didn't want people from outside to disturb it.

After listening, the young man beside him did not reply. He stood there with a frown.

This time his eyes were locked on the rocky slope near us.

Even if he doesn't say it, his demeanor, his appearance, and his appearance are telling me clearly that he is thinking about things. It's a busy time. It's best not to bother!

Even if he didn't say it, I could see it anyway, and after thinking about it for a few seconds, I decided not to disturb him for the time being.

But here, there's nothing to do, I have to think about it.

I looked around, then took a few steps back to the side and sat down a little apart.

The tsundere boy is still thinking about things, and now he is the guide. He's under pressure, let him keep thinking about it!

I bowed my head and unburdened myself. Then place the burden flat on your knee and open it.

Take a break and fill your stomach first!

I took out the food from my baggage that I had prepared in the kitchen of my mother's house before dawn.

Due to the limited conditions, I used what I could find in the kitchen at my eldest mother's house and made some ready-made food.

There was another bag of dried fruits that the lady gave me, which they made themselves.

Before leaving, the eldest lady's behavior was quite heartwarming, and I even remember the expression on the face of giving me food.

I thought about it, but I still didn't touch the bag of cakes, and decided to keep the dry food, the future is uncertain!

I grabbed a few dried fruits that my mother gave me and ate them, and they tasted very sweet.

After eating and looking at the young man, he stood for a moment, then sat down on the rock, his brow furrowed almost imperceptibly, and he looked at me without saying anything.

The fog in the mountains and forests was even thicker, almost obscuring most of the forest we had just passed.

As far as the eye can see, all you can see here is a small part of the neighborhood.

Now that he's all looking at me, it's not a bother for him to go now.

So, I walked up to him, handed him what I had eaten, and said, "Young Master, let's go after eating." “

"You've been thinking about it for so long, have you figured it out?"

The young man's eyes flickered, and his eyes looked deeply into the distance, and his gaze stopped for a moment, especially on the side of the dense forest that he had passed before.

"Next, what should we do, look for my opinion, I can't see the road ahead here, I think we have to pass the slope first."

I was still waiting for his decision, and as far as I could see, the fog had lifted, and I couldn't see any other shortcuts.

The boy took the dried fruit I had handed him, looked down, and then took a few in his hand and ate a few at random, when he had finished eating, he turned sideways and looked up at the steep rocky slope.

After a while, he nodded and said, "Xiaoling, keep walking." ”

He gave me the impression that he was preoccupied from the time he passed through the forest full of traps just now.

At this time, he listened to my suggestion and agreed so readily, to be honest, his actions were a little unexpected to me

In the southern city of Zealand, Tianfang put down the letterhead he had just received when he stood up.

He walked back and forth in the room a few times, his eyes turning to the guard standing on the side of his desk.

The guard paused, and whispered to Tianfang the details of the person who had been captured earlier.

After listening to what the guards said, Tianfang nodded and said, "What happened is similar to what I thought. ”

He turned his eyes and looked out the window, and the case of the warehouse fire near the river in the southern city of Zealand had been investigated so far, and he had already made up his mind.

The reason why the last witness was brought in was only to confirm the doubts in my mind.

Tianfang turned back to the guards who were standing aside and waiting for instructions, "Is there any news from the group of people sent to the Northland?" “

As early as when he was on the ship, Tianfang gave them follow-up instructions several times in the form of flying pigeons.

The group was on the way, but their final destination was the Northlands. I went to protect my little sister.

The news has been handed out, and according to Tianfang's estimates, it will not be long before the group will reach the Northland.

Before leaving. He had told him to send a message back on the way, so he always kept it in his heart.

The guard standing at the table shook his head and said, "Not yet." ”

Tianfang's gaze swept over the guard, and he turned back to the table and handed the guard the letter he had written.

"I'll have to stay here for a few days."

Tianfang said in a deep voice: "If the group of people who went to the Northland make progress, they will reply in time!" ”

The slope is steep, so you have to find a fixed point when you go up. And then little by little it is a very laborious task.

We stood at the foot of the rocky slope and looked up. I cried out in my heart and couldn't help but shake my head.

If I didn't have a better way, I wouldn't want to climb up!

The tsundere boy stood there and looked at it, hesitated for a moment, and rummaged through the baggage he was carrying.

Not much. I saw him take out several things in quick succession and put them back. He was choosing, but every time he took out something it struck me.

The tsundere boy pursed his lips and silently selected until he took out a small bundle of rope from under his baggage.

My eyes widened as I looked at the rope he pulled out!

Of course, the tsundere boy will not take out the common kind of rope that is used to tie things, which looks thick and simple, and it looks thinner.

I tried to grab a handful, but I didn't feel too heavy in my hand, and then I tried to pull it. Extremely light and strong rope.

I don't know what kind of material it's made of?!

What is this rope going to be used for? I could vaguely guess in my mind.

I stared at him for a while, and I didn't forget to tease him: "Young Master." You're prepared for a battle! “

"Could it be that when you arrived in Nanhua Town from Suzhou, you expected that something might happen later?"

After saying that, I was in a trance, yes, how should I explain that he came to Nanhua Town with an escort, and he would actually carry those tools in advance?

It seems that if you want to walk outdoors, you have to be wary of people in danger, so you can plan your belongings so thoughtfully.

Thinking about it, he can take out a snack from his bag and give it to me halfway, don't say it, he really has a lot of things to bring, he has planned in advance.

The tsundere boy stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look at me, and then nodded at me and said, "Before leaving, I looked for it in the Chengdong mansion, and I did bring some things that might be used." “

"You've thought about it early in the morning, and you're going to follow me to the Northlands?"

I was a little more curious, what did he think?

The boy coughed, avoiding my question and not answering.

After a brief silence, the boy called me.

He showed me how to tie the rope, and sure enough, I guessed it.

His intention was obvious, to connect me to him with a rope before climbing for a while.

All right! Why does that sound so awkward?! What's weird!

Simulate the scene later, when the tsundere boy climbs up, he wants me to follow him.

He was afraid that if I didn't grasp the fixed point on the rocky slope, I would be in trouble if I fell and got hurt.

There is a rope attached, in fact, there are pros and cons, remembering the role of protection, but it is also possible to be taken down by another person who steps on the air.

I was thinking, since the tsundere boy came up with this method and planned to implement it, then he must be sure that he will rarely make mistakes.

If I make a mistake, he is sure that he will be able to hold me down and not be taken down by me, and that's what I understand!

After gesturing with me, the boy calmly fastened the rope to his own waist, and then threw the other end of the rope to me, signaling me to do what he had taught me.

I took the rope on the other end of my hand and tried to "tie" myself according to the method he had just said, but unfortunately I lost some talent after all.

It looks easy to draw a gourd, but it is difficult to execute.

I just couldn't hold it in place as well as he did, and I tried twice and the rope still came loose when he pulled it with his hand.

Once it is loosened, it will have no effect, it is equivalent to a white bundle!

The boy watched my actions the whole time, and when he saw that I had failed many attempts, he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

He walked slowly up to me and muttered, "Except for the ability to get something to eat, and the medical skills of a three-legged cat, I can't do anything!" ”

"Thanks for the compliment!"

"Am I complimenting you?"

"You just said, I know that it's amazing to be able to know both, you think everyone is an all-rounder!"

I replied to him dissatisfied: "Where in the world can there be such a powerful person, oh yes, there is, but not here." ”

The all-rounder is here, and maybe he won't have to do it so stupidly, he might find the shortcut I said in the Misty Forest, because he's always taken by surprise.

The boy didn't dig into the meaning of my words, he just concentrated on tying the rope around me.

He doesn't move quickly, but he ties it very seriously.

The distance between the two men was so close that I soon felt awkward.

I felt it when he landed on the tree with me before, so close to the distance, but for safety, I didn't want to wait for a while, in case I fell, so I could only let him continue to "tie up".

The embarrassing move is finally over!

The boy took a few steps back and tried, this time it was firm, and the rope showed no signs of loosening.

"Xiaoling, no problem, but you have to be careful when climbing later."

The young man said calmly: "Xiaoling, you don't have to be too afraid. ”

"Actually, even if you fall, you may not die," the young man looked at me and said in a changed tone, "but injuries are inevitable, so be careful to avoid them as much as possible!"

After the young man finished speaking, he lowered his head and thought about it, and then looked at me and specially instructed me: "Xiaoling, if you have no strength in the middle of the way, tell me." “

"I'll slow down and stop where I am and wait for you."

It's rare that this time he didn't complain about me when he said it.

"Okay, no problem." I replied very cheerfully.

Going up the rocky slope, the tsundere boy seemed to have bought me a heavy insurance.

With that rope here, at least I don't have to worry too much about the danger of falling and getting hurt.

Even so, it was a big test of my physical strength.

It's obvious! This activity is an adventure sport that requires a lot of skill and is physically demanding.

Let me participate, it's really hard, but fortunately, I practiced before the crossing, and by chance, I followed someone after crossing and learned a little kung fu, and I was able to hold on.

The key is that I still have a bit of tenacity when I encounter difficulties

When the mountain wind blows, I grasp the protruding rocks on the rocky slope with my hands, try not to fall off, and then go up to find another place to climb.

Of course, the slope of this rocky slope is much better than that of the cliff, but it is still risky to go up.

I noticed a special place.

The forest we passed through earlier actually seemed to be a smooth road on the surface, but in fact, according to the horizontal line, it has been going down. (To be continued.) )
