The man in Tsing Yi looked back at the direction where Agui was lying, but he didn't expect that this time the two of them were looking at each other. "You're still awake, haven't you slept?"

Ah Gui stared at the man in Tsing Yi and asked with a bit of strangeness in his tone.

He remembered that the man in the village had been talking to him for a long time.

He was wondering if the other party had been woken up?

But when I entered the house just now, I saw that the man in Tsing Yi was obviously asleep.

Ah Gui said in his heart, these strangers from the city are really twisted and turned.

Anyway, what's the point of pretending to be asleep?!

If you have something, just say it directly!

The man in Tsing Yi thought for a while and asked: "Big brother, what the person in your village said said was that someone haunted the mountain road in the middle of the night, and he was holding a torch as if he was looking for a way."

A look of hesitation flashed on his face, as if he was thinking about whether he should ask or not, and finally asked tentatively. "Big brother, is what he said true or false?"

The man in Tsing Yi tried his best to pretend to be calm when he spoke, but after a few words, the urgency hidden in his tone could no longer be concealed.

Even if there was a third person present at this moment, I could clearly hear his mood from his words. "Did you hear it all?"

Ah Gui was not surprised, since the people in Tsing Yi were pretending to be asleep, it meant that he had heard what the two people were standing in the courtyard before.

Agui looked at him, pursed his lips, and then said in a flat tone: "I have known him since I was a child, and I am in the same village." Growing up together. "He has an advantage, that is, he never tells lies," Ah Gui glanced at the man in Tsing Yi. His gaze followed him, "What he just said must be true." "Those people don't know why they're wandering around in the middle of the night, and they look like they're looking for a way."

The man in Tsing Yi's face sank, so he simply sat up and continued to ask him, "Have you met someone like that near your village before?" “

Ah Gui was suspicious in his heart, but he still shook his head and said, "There really is, it's strange to say." There was a few years ago."

As soon as the words fell, Ah Gui suddenly got up, and the topic just now was not finished at all!

Without saying a word, he ran to the door as fast as he could. Then he fell to the ground.

His movements were very fast, and this unusual move frightened the people in Tsing Yi on the kang!

What's the situation? The man in Tsing Yi looked at him stunned.

Agui lay on the ground, his expression solemn, listening intently. Soon he heard the voices from far and near, then straightened up and looked at Tsing Yi: "I heard someone coming up the mountain." A lot of people. “

The man in Tsing Yi didn't come back to his senses yet, and it took a few seconds before he suddenly came back to his senses, and he asked with a frightened expression: "Big brother, what's the matter?" ”

"I don't know," Ah Gui said in a low voice to Tsing Yi, "I hear that there are about a dozen people walking towards the village on the mountain road. They also have horses. ”

"Maybe it's passing by, maybe who knows." Ah Gui looked at the man in Tsing Yi with a puzzled look. I couldn't understand his reaction at all, and in Ah Gui's opinion, this person was inexplicably flustered.

He asked with a bit of hesitation in his tone, "I said what are you panicking about?" ”

It's the middle of the night, but it's not the first time!

The Tsing Yi man is just a temporary passer-by who lives in the village and the mountain people's house, and his performance is really suspicious.

"Is it your enemy?"

After thinking about it, Ah Gui showed a surprised expression to the man in Tsing Yi, and asked with some surprise in his tone.

The man in Tsing Yi stretched out his hand and patted his head, and after a moment of silence, he took a deep breath and calmed down his emotions and said, "I have no enemies, big brother." ”

He tried his best to explain his previous performance: "Big brother, so many people go up the mountain in the middle of the night, I just sound a little scared. "I'm afraid some bandits have come to the village!" "Well, you don't have to worry, I've always lived in the village, and we haven't had anything to worry about here anyway."

Ah Gui replied immediately, as if he was comforting the people in Tsing Yi.

In the final analysis, the people of Tsing Yi did not doubt the judgment of the mountain people at all.

The people of Tsing Yi live in Nanhua Town, whether it is the market in the north of the town or the place where he often moves in the southeast of the town, it is normal to see people from the nearby mountains coming.

He had dealt with hunters and knew that these people were in the mountains all year round, hunting was the most important job, and if they were not sharp, they would not be able to make ends meet.

"Since there is no enemy, it is definitely not for you, what are you afraid of!"

But it's not sure yet, the people in Tsing Yi didn't say anything in their hearts, just looked at Agui speechlessly.

He glanced out the window, and it was dark and raining.

Set off tomorrow morning to go to the official road under the mountain, and the road must be muddy and difficult to walk, mainly because the sky is not beautiful, and there is no way.

The man in Tsing Yi shook his head for a moment, and then answered, "Big brother, we don't even know who the other party is!" ”

Saying this, Tsing Yi's heart beat quickly, and he imagined several possibilities, if he really came at himself, he couldn't avoid it.

If it was for him, there was only one possibility, and that was to stare at himself when he was in Nanhua Town.

If the other party put a long line and secretly followed him all the way from Nanhua Town to here, if he was so deliberate, it would be futile to escape.

The other party has spent so much effort, how easy is it to ask them to let themselves go!

The man in Tsing Yi secretly prepared for the worst in his heart, although he was very unwilling.

Things are still uncertain, maybe there will be a turnaround, in short, he continues to wait.

I thought very clearly, it is not easy to do it!

The man in Tsing Yi thought about it, got up and tidied up his clothes, and his expression was still a little nervous: "Big brother, you heard the movement just now, how far are they from here now?" “

The house where the mountain man lived was close to the top of the hill, and it was almost the tallest living house in the village.

Come up from the bottom of the mountain and go all the way to the top. Actually, it will take a lot of time

The sound of footsteps mixed with the sound of horses' hooves had faded away, and in my judgment the group should be almost at the top of the mountain by this time.

The house of the eldest lady's house. The dim light was still on.

"Do you think they'll turn back the way they came when they go to the top of the mountain?"

I rolled my eyes and looked deeply into the courtyard, and it took me a long time before I asked him.

I didn't want to ask too directly, but after thinking about it, I introduced the topic I originally wanted to talk about with a little tact.

The person on the other side didn't raise his head, he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, and I saw that he looked absent-minded.

"I asked. There is only a small fork in the road in the direction of the summit, and it is not certain whether they will walk or not. ”

I thought about it. Asked: "I'm asking about you, if you are them, will you turn back in a while?" ”

Hearing this, the tsundere boy raised his head and looked at me. Suddenly, the corners of his lips moved: "Xiaoling." You're right about what you said just now, you really need a chess piece here. ”

At the moment, I sat with him at a low table.

Knowing what he meant, I shook my head, and whispered to him with a look of embarrassment on my face, "You were right earlier. ”

I was silent for a few seconds before continuing, "Even if I am given a chess piece right now, I don't have the heart to play it. ”

I sighed and looked at the tsundere boy and whispered, "I've thought about it for a long time, but I still don't want to hide it from you, I know the group of people who came just now!" ”

The young man looked at me with a bit of inquiry in his eyes and asked, "Xiaoling, how come?" When did you meet? ”

I paused. After thinking about it, he met his gaze and said, "To be exact, I don't know all the people in that team just now. It's the one who starts with it" "To tell you the truth, I met him in Nanhua Town. ”

I remember very well the few times I met that person, and I knew where that strange person came from, and of course what they told me.

"Are you sure you're right?" The young man lowered his head and thought about it, and his eyes moved slightly between my eyebrows.

"If I admit my mistake, I won't be so worried," I smiled bitterly, "Young Master, I asked you earlier if you provoked someone to come with me, and now I'm a little worried that I will be involved." "You have another choice."

After I finished speaking, my eyes stayed on his face, and I continued later, "Why don't you go separately?" “

The young man was stunned, and before he could speak, I continued by myself: "When I met this person at the inn, I was referring to the inn in Nanhua Town, and he gave me a very strange feeling at that time. “

"What's the strange?" The boy asked, looking intently at me. "Well, I've been out walking for not a day or two, I've been to a lot of places, and sometimes I believe in my own feelings better than what people tell me."

I tried to make my point clear, for fear that the boy would cause some kind of misunderstanding, and I didn't want him to think that I was making excuses on purpose, so I said it and gave him advice on another option.

How to lay out, make the topic cut into the natural way, let him be persuaded by me. "I heard from the people in the inn that he was just an ordinary guard, but he gave me the impression that it was not so simple."

Soon, the young man shook his head and said disapprecitately: "It may be that you are staying in Nanhua Town alone and have too tense relationships. "It's not because of this," I said hurriedly, "at that time, I was in the inn and in Nanhua Town, and I found that someone was following me. “

Hearing this, the tsundere boy waved his hand to interrupt my words and said, "Xiaoling, I said that I was following you in the town." "You're mistaken," I immediately shook my head, and then I made eye contact with him before adding, "You're not the only one following you, I'm pretty sure." “

In an instant, the boy's brow furrowed again, and he looked at me silently. "Xiaoling, do you mean that the people who are following you, in the town, in the inn, except for me, are the people who came to ask for directions just now?"

The young man cleared his thoughts, his face softened, and he looked at me calmly and asked. "yes, I don't know why he's coming," I frowned, and said in a confused tone.

"Of course, I'm not sure if the other party's purpose is me, but I can bet on this game, and you'd better not get involved." "You're not like me."

I couldn't imagine what those people were here for, and the unfamiliar names they mentioned made me a little confused for a moment.

As mentioned earlier, I have seen the topographic map north of Suzhou.

I searched my memory and made sure that since I arrived in Nanhua Town, I had never heard anything related to the name of Longyuan Lake.

I'm pretty sure! I don't know if those people are really looking for such a place, or if they are just looking for an excuse to visit the mountain village.

Will they go and come back and change their minds?! Who knows!

The young man sighed, his eyes fixed on me, and then he asked in a deep voice, "Xiaoling, why do you say as if you will still run into those people?" ”

"That's right." I felt a suppressed tension in my heart, and I always felt that the arrival of those people was unusual.

I thought to myself, how to convince him of the next rhetoric.

"Xiaoling, they're just asking for directions," the young man said in a gentle tone, "Even if there is a place to go, in my opinion, it may not be following you." ”

"I can go to the Northlands, I can go," a faint smile appeared on his lips, and he looked at me and continued, "Anyone can go." ”

The young man said confidently, "If there were people who were following me, I wouldn't have been unaware along the way." "You can't trust me, can you?"

When they heard the sound outside, the two people in the room looked at each other.

Ah Gui gestured to the man in Tsing Yi, who came to the door, and Ah Gui himself walked out to answer the door.

In the rain, a man in a dark robe was waiting outside the dilapidated courtyard gate outside Agui's house.

Seeing him coming, the man raised his head slightly, and Ah Gui sighed in his heart, the other party seemed to be a person who knew kung fu.

He could tell it at a glance. "I'm sorry," the man said in a low tone, "I asked a family halfway up the mountain, the place I wanted to go to was Longyuan Lake, and the old man said that he had never heard of this place name. "He said you're the farthest hunter in the village, do you know the shortcut in this area?"

Ah Gui had just had a roundabout conversation with the man in Tsing Yi, and the other party made him feel insincere, but the one in front of him was too straightforward.

However, the "Longyuan Lake" he mentioned, Agui stood in place and thought about it carefully, and was sure that he hadn't heard of it, so he shook his head at him and said, "I don't know, I definitely haven't been to this place." "Are you going the wrong way?" Agui asked him.

Inside, the waiting Tsing Yi man's face turned pale the moment he heard the conversation at the gate of the courtyard, he clenched his fists tightly, and even clenched his teeth.

That's right, that voice he will never forget!

The man in Tsing Yi didn't dare to move, looking in the direction of the courtyard with an anxious expression across the wall, and he could only continue to wait until the answer was revealed.

"Oh, really?" The tone of the visitor sounded so calm, he looked at Agui and said, "Are there any other villages nearby, this area?" ”

It was raining, obstructing the view, and the arrival time was unfortunate, and these factors combined to make him ask this sentence.

Ah Gui didn't think much about it, since the other party didn't continue to ask, it didn't hurt him to tell him the situation again! (To be continued.) )
