Chapter 6 There are gains and losses

The people in Tsing Yi got out of the carriage and said goodbye to the mountain people who were driving the carriage in a friendly manner.

At this moment, in addition to the burden he was carrying, he also had an extra bag.

Needless to say, it was naturally the snake medicine he bought from the mountain people, and he also bought two other insect repellent medicines by the way.

These are all things he has long wanted to buy in Nanhua Town, but he has no money and no channels to buy them.

It is also the preparation he must make when he enters the mountain.

The man in Tsing Yi watched the carriage pass by a small fork in the mountain road.

The mountain man who was driving the cart was going to deliver the cart to the mountain village he said before dark.

At this time, the man in Tsing Yi could only rely on two legs to continue to move forward, towards the destination.

He stopped on the side of the road, put down the large burden on his body and untied it, and then put the bag of medicine in it together.

In addition to the fact that the money bag is lighter, the large bag has increased in weight than before.

The man in Tsing Yi walked slowly on the mountain road, and he still had the impression in his mind that after waiting for a hillside in front of him, there was just a shortcut to walk

The herbs recorded by Dr. Wu were unheard of before I came to Nanhua Town.

In the unique geographical conditions, local specialty herbs are grown.

The so-called specialty is that these medicines are basically not seen in other places, and it is easy to arouse the interest of medical practitioners.

The boy approached slowly, once again accurately blocking the direction of the northwest wind.

He approached me, then calmly took up the position of the wind.

The first time I could understand it as a coincidence, even the most unresponsive person would know that he did it on purpose.

In all fairness. Tsundere teenagers actually have a lot of advantages.

Objectively speaking, he belongs to the kind of person who has obvious advantages and disadvantages in the eyes of others.

Looking up at him, I looked at him with a softened look and said, "It will take about a quarter of an hour." "You're bored waiting on the sidelines. You can go back to the carriage," I lowered my head and thought quietly, and decided to think about him for once, why not leave him here waiting for the cold wind to blow! "I'll get over when I'm done." I explained it to him.

After I hesitated, I deliberately added: "My things are all in the car, and my money bag is in your hand, and Doctor Wu's codex is also in your hands." Are you still worried about me running away? “

As soon as these words came out, the young man suddenly stiffened and looked at me with displeasure.

The boy seemed to be suppressing his emotions. He took a deep breath and turned to glance at the mountain path we had walked on, and there were still no people passing by on the road at the moment.

Calculated that it was a lot of way to get out of Nanhua Town.

The speed of the tsundere boy is not slow, and I see that he is also skillful. It must not be the first time I have rushed out in the car.

It stands to reason that this is the time. Even if the caravan he had managed to drive away was far away, there should be someone else coming.

Why not?

Maybe it's blocked by the winding part of the mountain road, so maybe you can see the people passing by by through a mountain pass!

I followed his line of sight, then turned to him and said curiously, "Hey, young master, I'm curious, how much money did you give to those caravans parked outside the town, or did you grab some lever to threaten them?" “

The subtext I didn't say was: How else would those people want to leave?

Caravans also have rules for caravans. Wherever it stops, the boss of the caravan has the final say!

"How can you walk without a single left?"

I couldn't resist asking him, eyes rolling over his face.

Anyway, I was really shocked when I saw the empty mountain road outside the town!

For a moment, there was an illusion that the king master was about to come.

Except before Wang Shi came. In order to be safe, the local government office will clear the scene, and I can't think of any other convincing reason for the time being!

The young man was silent when he heard this, but his gaze paused on my face, and then his eyes stared at me with deep eyes, and suddenly asked, "Xiaoling, who are you looking for when you go to the North?!" ”

I was startled and looked at him silently.

He avoided my questions and did not answer them, and at this time, he was the main anti-customer, and he took the lead in asking questions.

He took advantage of the moment when I was dazed, stared at me with a pair of eyes, and asked in a serious tone: "Xiaoling, the words you used to persuade me were nothing more than to make me dispel the idea of going to the Northland." "You know it's not a good time to go there." "Since that's the case, you know it," he paused and continued, "Xiaoling, what about yourself?" “

"I'm different from you, I have a reason to go."

Without thinking, I said to him decisively.

"Besides, I'm not like you, I have a big family, a lot of people's hopes, and I can't talk about the things that need to be worried about in the house."

The corners of my mouth hooked slightly, and I looked at him thoughtfully, "I'm more comfortable alone, and for now, there is no limit to where I can go." "You asked me when you were in Suzhou, and I said that I planned to meet my senior brother in Suzhou."

I reflected on the conversation and continued, "I've always prepared with both hands. "If I can't touch my brother, I'll think about going alone."

I lowered my head and said with a faint smile: "My senior brother is good at everything, but there is a problem, and he also likes to take care of things. “

I blinked and said, "Although there is a guarantee of safety with him, my personality is honestly very dislike being tied up, and there will be gains and losses." "Walking alone, safety is hanging a little, but freedom is quite free."

The boy listened patiently, frowned and thought about it, and did not interrupt me

Whether it's me or not, there are reservations about the content of the conversation.

He didn't explain it to me, and I didn't want to tell him the truth.

As for his ability to guess or hear when he is on the way, it's all his business, and it has nothing to do with me.

The boy sighed and stood aside for a moment. Before turning around, he said to me: "Xiaoling, I'm waiting for you in the car, the mountain wind is too cold." You try to be as fast as you can. “

He didn't look at me, but walked in the direction where the carriage had stopped.

I withdrew my gaze, muttered to myself, lowered my head and continued with my hand.

If we don't find a place to stay along the way at night, he and I should have to sleep in the carriage.

I'd like to talk to him about it then. It is appropriate for everyone to be on duty in the middle of the night.

I like to plan ahead and think about what I need to do first.

He straightened up and looked the way ahead. The mountain road ahead took a turn in the middle of the slope, and the view was partially blocked.

I wonder if there will be a village ahead? A thought crossed my mind.

After a while, I continued to concentrate on digging herbs.

I crouched there, the dagger in my hand instead of a shovel. Carefully dig up the wet mud around the roots of the herbs and loosen them.

Because it's not the first time. Practice makes perfect, and this time the whole herb was dug up faster than the previous two times.

After finishing the work at hand, as usual, I had to find a nearby water source.

I planned to walk down the hill to find water from a nearby stream to wash my hands.

Standing up, I walked down the hillside with the herbs I had dug up.

This time it's a little farther away.

I walked for about ten minutes to reach the side of the mountain stream that flowed down the hillside.

I went straight to the stream, washed my hands, and dried the herb on a nearby rock.

The main thing is to wash the soil that is contaminated with the part of the root system as long as there is water. It was done in no time.

The cool water by the mountain stream splashes on the bluestone by the stream, and the water splashes.

When I stood up. The gaze looked out over the mountains and forests to the east.

Suddenly, my eyes moved, and I stared at the forest not far away, where the water flowed, with a surprised expression on my face.

I didn't expect that such a remote place would have the same customs.

I walked a short distance along the bank of the stream, trying to get closer to see if I was dazzled.

After walking for a while, I saw that the stream in front of me widened and blocked the way.

The forest is separated from me by a stream.

I stood and looked at the forest on the other side, and instantly recalled the conversation I had with the young lady in the flower garden when I was in the palace.

At that time, the Sealand folk were approaching, and she told me a lot about the festival.

According to her, she is going to the lake on the outskirts of the city to celebrate the festival, and the shore of the lake is lit up in early winter.

The place where the lights are put on is crowded with people, and it is very lively.

Qingzhi said that in addition to the lanterns placed by the water, many people will hang lanterns on trees to pray.

When I was in Yannan, Yun Chu spent the festival with me.

On the starry night, the lotus lanterns by the riverside that drifted with the tide and placed my wishes left a deep impression on me.

Of course, the most special thing is the person who is by my side.

I didn't expect that in addition to the capital of Zealand, except for Yannan, which impressed me, I could see the same scene in the barren mountains and wilderness where I inadvertently stopped on my way to the northland.

Not at all expected.

Even though there were only a few lanterns that had been wet by the rain and even faded a lot, they still hit my memories accurately at that moment.

I stood on the bank of the stream and looked at it for a long time, but I didn't move.

I breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the car parked on the mountain road.

The tsundere boy hasn't come back since he turned back just now, but this time he's very obedient and cooperative, it's really rare!

I climbed all the way up the trail to the carriage and was surprised not to hear a single movement.

Standing beside the carriage, I hesitated for a moment, then gently lifted the curtain of the carriage with my hand.

The curtain was pulled up, revealing a gap in the window, and I glanced in and was shocked to see the boy leaning against the wall of the carriage, already asleep.

I looked at him from the angle from which I was standing, the light shining through the carriage window, and there was a clear tiredness on his face.

I looked at it fixedly, my brow furrowed, and I never looked away.

This person doesn't know why, there is always a feeling of familiarity, a feeling that cannot be explained.

I was going to turn around and rest in the woods for a while before waking him up, and he looked like he hadn't slept in a long time.

Calculate the distance I traveled from Suzhou City to Nanhua Town.

On the night he left, the tsundere boy was not in the courtyard of the Yuwen family's mansion in the east of the city, which meant that he was probably out on errands.

From Suzhou to Nanhua Town, he received news from Qingyin Pavilion

After all, he spends most of his time on the road

I walked slowly into the woods, the sun shining through the gaps in the trees, an unknown path.

From Nanhua Town, where the horse-drawn carriage travels all the way, there are many small roads like this.

Some lead to villages in the nearby mountains, where mountain people live.

I picked a place in the woods and sat on a stone with my back to a tree.

The carriage was occupied by the tsundere boy, and I didn't want to wake him up, so I found another place to rest.

Maybe I slept too late last night, and the time was too short, and when I was free, I started to get drowsy before I knew it.

In a daze, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind me, and I suddenly opened my eyes and was shocked.

Raising his eyes to look at the path he had just walked behind him, he didn't know when the tsundere boy had woken up, and he had already gotten out of the carriage and walked into the woods.

It was only then that I suddenly realized that he was approaching without realizing it, and if he wanted to, he could have slowed his steps so lightly that I couldn't hear them.

The sunlight in the forest shone on his face, and I looked at him, and for a second it seemed like I was back in the mountains.

But at that time, he wore a cumbersome mask on his face all day long, and although he removed it at this time, his face was also moved.

Since I met him, I haven't seen him in person.

The only thing I was distracted, staring at him with a somewhat fixed gaze.

The tsundere boy glanced at me and looked down away from me.

He walked over to a nearby rock and sat down, as if he had something to say.

After the tsundere boy sat down, after a while, he said in a deep voice: "Xiaoling, if you really want to go to the Northland, this preparation is not enough at the moment." “

I was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned my head to stare at him and asked, "What do you mean?" "I've seen the baggage you put in the carriage, and I've seen everything in it."

The tsundere boy said in a calm tone: "When you get to a more lively place ahead, I'll take you there." "Wait," I didn't clear my thoughts, and I paused for a few seconds before I realized what he just said.

Has he looked through all my baggage? I nervously wondered if there was anything particularly inappropriate in it, like that.

Anyway, I suddenly remembered, who gave him the right to see my baggage?!

I stood up and gritted my teeth, and then remembered that he had even snatched my money bag, and what could I not do!

Compared with grabbing money and things, it seems that opening the burden and taking a look has become negligible.

Don't look around, I don't bother to pay attention to him, Shaoqing, and replied to him stiffly: "Okay, anyway, the eldest young master, you are not short of money, I should be happy." ”

After a brief silence, I took a deep breath and looked at him with great difficulty.

"What the hell do you see?"

The young man turned his head and glanced at me inexplicably, his eyes met me, and he said calmly: "Xiaoling, you brought food and clothes, otherwise?!" What else?! (To be continued.) )
