Tianfang said softly to the eldest lady: "Auntie, we are still rushing to the north." ”

"The rain has stopped, so I won't bother you much."

Originally, the most important reason for this trip was naturally related to the little junior sister.

Coupled with the news sent by the guards in advance, it was difficult for Tianfang to bypass.

The stay has been longer than expected.

The weather is good at this time, and of course you have to be busy on the road.

After Tianfang finished speaking, he made a look and gestured to the guard.

The guards understood and immediately took action.

After being polite to the eldest lady, the guards still helped clean up the stove and cleaned it inside and out.

After doing this, the guests and hosts were happy, and the three of them planned to leave to go down the mountain along the mountain road outside the village.

Before leaving, the eldest lady hurriedly prepared a burden and handed it to Tianfang.

She looked at Tianfang, with a look of disappointment, and said earnestly: "When your little brother comes, he likes to eat dried fruits in the mountains. ”

"I prepared it for him when he left, but he wouldn't bring more."

The eldest lady paused and looked at Tianfang and said, "Since you are here on horseback, when you get to the bottom of the mountain, you won't worry about trouble." ”

"You help me bring that child."

The guards were thinking about excuse themselves, but to their surprise, their master actually took the initiative to reach out and took the things handed by the eldest lady very naturally.

"Okay, I understand your intentions, and I will give it to him when I see my little brother."

Tianfang looked down at the burden in his hand, and he didn't know what he remembered, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly, the corner of his eye glanced at the guards around him, and then looked at the eldest lady and said in a gentle tone: "Thank you." ”

Really took it? The two guards glanced at each other, slightly stunned and surprised

Coming out of the dense forest, the light suddenly brightened.

Compared to the bright light shrouded by the big trees that was flickering in the dense forest, standing in the open space at this moment, I have the illusion of a moment.

Why, how did it seem to be standing on the river beach, looking at the soft soil layer under my feet, I couldn't help but be stunned.

少∟dǐng∟diǎn∟小∟ said,.☆.☆os_(); Nian turned his head to look at me, looked at my expression, and smiled at me: "Xiaoling, you look very familiar?" ”

His gaze stopped at my face, and then asked me: "Xiaoling, you forgot about jì, in fact, I saw it last time." ”

"What have you seen?" I looked at him in surprise, a look of confusion in my eyes and asked curiously.

The tsundere teenager's thinking jumps, sometimes people don't have time to react.

At first glance, when you hear what he says, you will react slowly, and you will definitely not understand the meaning of his words at once.

When I first met him, I was the same.

However, as they got along with him, the two slowly got to know each other's personalities.

Coupled with the fact that I talked to him a lot and the topics increased a lot, I was gradually able to keep up with his jumping rhythm.

Even so, it doesn't mean that I can react immediately to a thought or a word that pops into him.

Unless there is a situation where I happen to be with him.

However, this time I obviously didn't have such a tacit understanding with him, and at first glance, I looked at him confused.

"Young Master, what do you mean?"

After lowering my eyelids and thinking for a while, I looked up at him in confusion, and my tone of voice was a little hesitant, and my eyes were fixed on the face of the tsundere boy.

"I don't quite understand, young master."

I didn't want to let go of his expression, trying to figure out what this guy was thinking at the moment.

"Xiaoling, I'm talking about the last time we were on the road, I saw a place that was very similar to here."

The boy looked at me and said in a calm tone.

"Is there one? How I didn't remember. ”

I lowered my head and thought about it, but I still couldn't remember, and couldn't help muttering: "Suddenly I mentioned it, where do I remember." ”

The boy stepped closer to me.

He looked at me and said in a deep voice, "Xiaoling, when we passed through the mountains and forests on the road, we once saw an abandoned yard. ”

After the young man finished speaking, his tone paused, and then said: "Xiaoling, the section of the yard was a slope later, did you forget it?" ”

After he reminded me, I immediately remembered!

There is indeed such a thing, and what I remember is not that he said that the slope, but that the yard is too desolate, so I have the impression.

When I was on my way through the mountains with the tsundere boy, I rarely met strangers, let alone villages, and I could count the houses of mountain people and even the huts used by hunters and woodcutters to shelter from the rain.

Because the number is small, there will definitely be a diǎn impression.

At that time, I looked at the abandoned yard with the tsundere boy, and made sure that it was abandoned if no one lived in it, so I only stayed with him for a while, and soon left.

I tilted my head and frowned and thought about the road later, it was the slope he said, but that section of the road had more diǎn traces than the place I had walked before.

I remember clearly being trampled on, and the question of that road is how comparable it is to the current situation?

There are a lot of people stepping on that ramp, so that's why it's like that.

I suspect that there may have been horse-drawn carriages passing by, after all, we have seen other forks in the road later.

But at that time, our minds were on tracking, and we didn't want to give up the trip to the mountains so quickly, and now, our minds have changed.

At the moment, the three of us are walking in such a remote place, there are no people at all, he mentioned that part of the road, can there be any connection between the two?

"Xiaoling, you want to go wrong," the young man looked at me and pursed his lips and smiled, "Do you remember the soil layer in that area, and you asked me why I stopped!" ”

I remember, as if I had asked him, what did he say at that time?

I thought about it hard, and the image came to my mind.

The tsundere boy stopped halfway through, and I saw him stop where he was, using his branches to stir the dirt on the slope.

I complained that he was rubbing, and he told me to turn back and look at the soil in the mountains.

I remember reluctantly going back, picking up a branch like him and stirring it over the hillside, and it was very wet.

I could clearly see that the flowers and trees growing on it were exposed because of the soft and moist soil.

The tsundere boy reminded me that the soil over there looked like a landslide after heavy rain.

Well, even this area is the same, he told me, I'm still as confused as last time, what does the tsundere boy mean?

I said something about it, and the boy looked at me seriously and said, "That's right, the dirt in these places is almost like this. “

"Xiaoling, last time I told you that the people of Zhuangzi in the past were evacuated because there would be mudslides in that area."

I finally understood what he was going to say!

The eldest young master's mind is really roundabout and tactful, and if I have to think about it for so long, he can't understand it.

Wait, when he mentioned it, listening to me think about it, what came out seemed to make him quite satisfied.

At least I could see his expression very clearly, it was not what he meant

I retracted my thoughts, looked at him and asked suspiciously, "Young Master, do you mean that this place may not have been so desolate before, and there were villages and people living there?" ”

He diǎn diǎn head.

"But," I looked around.

The surrounding area is silent with mountains and forests, and a large clearing in front of it is covered with mud, if there are people living in the past, at least there will be some traces left!

After all, when we were walking in the mountains last time, we saw abandoned houses and mountain people's courtyards.

I thought of when I came out of Suzhou and rushed to Nanhua Town, wasn't I sheltering from the rain in a ruined temple?

The bridge was washed away by the rise of the mountain stream, and after that dangerous stretch of road, there were abandoned villages.

I didn't get to Nanhua Town on my way with the people of the dart bureau, and I stopped in the courtyard of the village to rest.

I've seen the scene before, how come I got here, and there is no trace of diǎn at all?

The boy said, "There used to be people living here, but what about the house?"

I looked at him in confusion, and suddenly it was like a dǐng!!

I looked at him and asked in a trembling voice, "Young Master, what do you mean?" The mudslide engulfed the village, so it's the way it is? ”

The teenager solemnly diǎn diǎn head, this time there was no smile on his face.

Emma, I'm not feeling good!

Does that mean that the location where we are going to stand may have been the house dǐng of those houses in the village?

Or are they hidden by layers of dirt and buried in the ground?

I had the illusion of suffocation, I felt a chill in my back, and my face turned white as I stood there.

After waiting for several minutes, the boy saw that something was wrong with me and stepped forward and patted me on the shoulder.

"Xiaoling, scared?" There was a sense of concern in his voice, and it was rare to speak in such a soft tone.

I came back to my senses and looked at him, and he tapped me twice on the shoulder, and I was still in shock, and I forgot to hide away for a while, and I didn't know what to say to him.

Heads full of villages flooded by mudslides!

Looking at the open space in front of me, the feeling was indescribable.

By the way, the war in the north was stagnant before, and it was related to the catastrophe, and an earthquake delayed the war on both sides.

When will the mudslide be the Tsundere boy said?

I can't help but wonder: is it a few years, or is it a long time, or is it also related to the recent earthquake.

"It's been a few years," the boy replied as if sensing my thoughts, and answered without waiting for me to ask.

I saw it, looked at the road ahead, and really hesitated for a moment.

Shall we go back and go back the way my uncle said?

I looked ahead, and I didn't feel good.

Turning the thought in my head, I subconsciously went to look at Uncle Decline, his expression was also shocked, but he was better than me, and seemed to have accepted the words of the tsundere boy.

It's probably because as a man, he has a stronger endurance than a woman!

I sighed in my heart, and the young man saw that I was relieved, and without saying much, he walked straight forward.

He walked through the clearing, walked halfway to me, beckoned to me, and said, "Xiaoling, come along." ”

Looks like this guy has made up his mind to move on.

I stood there and hesitated for a moment, but finally followed.

All I can say is that it was terrible to step on the dirt of that clearing!

Out of the open space just now, my mood could not calm down for a while, and our team was much quieter than at the beginning.

The tsundere boy began his process of "carving out" the mountain road again.

Because the forest ahead is the same as the road we have walked on, with shrubs and the like, he needs to "open the way".

The uncle behind him, walking through the open space just now, also said less than before, perhaps as shocked as I was.

Of course, I can't help but have some associations, regardless of whether the time that the tsundere boy said is reliable or not.

When the village was hit by a mudslide, did the villagers have time to escape?

Will they not be able to think about it and have a sense of desolation.

I sighed quietly and followed the boy.

The trio's group continued to the northeast, a stretch of road that was more difficult than the unobstructed mountain trail

"Your Lord," said the guard, looking at the heavens, "ahead is the cave where we left our horses temporarily." ”

He reached out to pick up the burden that Tianfang was carrying.

After the eldest lady gave Tianfang, she had already walked half the way, and seeing that she was about to go down the mountain, the guard meant to hand over the things to him to hold.

As a result, of course, it was boring to talk about himself, and he never thought about handing it over to him at the beginning, and he never thought about it.

This burden is estimated to be carried all the time, brought to meet with the little junior sister, and given to her personally.

The three men went into the cave and soon led the horse out.

Stopped for a while by the stream at the bottom of the mountain and went up again.

This time, the direction was to cross the official road, follow the direction of the two guards who went first, and rush into the mountains

Cross the official road and go all the way to the northeast, according to the message delivered by the guards.

The mountain people who stayed at the house, Tianfang treated the eldest mother's leg disease, and the other party was very grateful.

But the eldest lady always thought that they were in a hurry to go to the northland, and she didn't know the direction they were going, but she actually went to the mountains through the official road.

Therefore, when I left my mother's house, I couldn't ask too much about the situation in that area.

Fortunately, while the guards pass on the news, they will leave a mark of contact when they go out on a mission abroad.

Tianfang and his two subordinates, with these marks, can also track the traces of the two advance guards in the labyrinthine mountains

"Lord," the guard in front of him suddenly stopped, his gaze locked on the trees not far ahead.

It looked like there were marks on the trunk of the tree, which were obviously the marks left by a sea guard.

They crossed the official road and walked along the northeast to the present, and they had found several similar marks along the way, but this time they looked slightly different.

The guard knew what that meant, and he dismounted from his horse and flew up to the tree.

After a short time, the guards searched the high part of the hidden tree trunk and retrieved a text message from the hollow.

It was made of a special leather, and the handwriting left on it was carved with the dagger he carried with him! (To be continued.) )
