Chapter 295: The Mountain People Lead the Way
After listening to what the guard said, the mountain people looked at the boy, and did not see the slightest look of concern on his face. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
As the guard said, the other party's expression was very calm.
So, the mountain people thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, then I'll take you on the trail, it's really much faster!" ”
The guard looked pleased.
The boy was silent and agreed to their proposal.
The guards on the side looked thoughtfully at the mountain people and asked, "That's right!" Since last night until now, have you ever met anyone in the mountains who has been in and out of the mountain? ”
The mountain people looked at him suspiciously.
The guard then added, "Like one or two soldiers traveling alone? ”
"Have you ever seen one walking in the mountains?"
If something happened in the frontline camp of the Sealand Royal Division, the news was naturally the fastest to get the news from the empress's side, but once the people below took action, the news would quickly spread in the town.
In fact, as soon as the news came out, it spread quickly from the front-line camp to the town of Northland.
When the boy left the town with two escorts, the entrance to the town was already very carefully checked.
There was a word in the house before, and the young man said it in advance.
Therefore, after hearing this, they and the people in the house all came up with their own ways and left the town separately.
The three of them went to explore the mountains, and most of the remaining guards had to go to the camp in the mountains near Northland.
You need to find out the whereabouts of that son, and you need to have accurate information.
When the little master of the family came back from the mountains, he planned to go directly to the destination to find someone.
They all had a tight schedule, after all, they had to find out exactly what they were doing from the crowd of people in the camp...... This is definitely a difficult thing.
As the two guards who followed the boy were talking behind their backs, their journey was much less difficult than that of their companions.
It was their luck to be ordered by their little masters!
The mountain people I met at this moment had always lived in the mountains in the north outside the town.
The guard can ask him for news, maybe he has really met an escaped spies!
Didn't listen to what he just said...... He had met strangers more than once in the mountains.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the mountain people looked at the guards and replied, "There is no one you said." ”
"I've been walking around the village all night last night," he continued, after a pause, "I've only met a few of you when I went out this morning. ”
The two guards glanced at each other, attracting the gaze of their little master.
From the moment he received the news, the boy never ignored it, and he also took the matter of the escaping spies in the barracks to heart.
It's just that for now, the focus of his thoughts is on the strange forest.
The messages revealed from the mountain people's mentions reminded him that this place should be the destination of the aliens.
The road they were walking also connected to the first-line camp in the Northlands, so since the guards felt it necessary to ask the mountain people about the escape from the army, the young man would not object.
However, listening to the very affirmative tone of the man's speech, and the young man's expression carefully observing him between words, it didn't seem like he was lying to them.
He really hadn't met anyone who had escaped!
...... After a while, the young man glanced at the dense forest in the distance, turned his gaze to the mountain people, and asked, "Is there anyone walking on the trail you just said?" ”
The mountain people looked at the young man's eyes, and suddenly became a little nervous.
The young man's tone of voice was actually very gentle, and he didn't know why the mountain people were faintly frightened when they saw him.
"Only a few people in the village know," said the mountain man in a serious tone, "but for now I'm left alone in the Northlands." ”
At this point, the mountain man's eyes were slightly darkened, and he did not expand the topic.
However, both the young man who asked the question and the two guards who followed understood the meaning of his words.
From the beginning of the preparations for the war in the Northland, whether it was a small town or a nearby mountain village, there were many local people who left.
These men went to all parts of Zealand, except to strange places in the region near the Northlands.
Even as far away as the location of Xilan's Nanyuwen family.
Those people were far from their homeland to escape the scourge of war.
The melancholy look on the mountain people's voices was naturally due to the many companions who were in the village with him...... Now they're all gone.
...... There was a moment of silence in the atmosphere in the forest, the sound of horses' hooves slowly trampling by, and the sound of the mountain wind could be heard in my ears.
They rode their horses and began to climb the slopes, and the roads pointed out by the mountain people were really difficult, and some sections even had to be dismounted and pulled forward.
From the time of the previous ascent, the speed gradually slowed down, but the mountaineers insisted that this section of the road was the hardest part of the way.
The rest will go more smoothly.
In any case, according to him, the quickest way to reach the strange forest was through the trail.
Judging from the current situation, I am afraid that the rest of the journey will not be able to ride a horse.
The guard's eyes flashed with hesitation, and he turned to the mountain people and asked, "You said that you can't ride a horse behind the trail, but if you look at it this way, you can reach that forest in the fastest time?" Are you sure? ”
The mountain people nodded firmly: "Sure!" ”
The guard frowned and stared at him, then asked, "How did you find this path in the first place?" ”
"It's not me," the mountain man shook his head, his tone shifting, "I found it when a man in the village was hunting before. ”
"He found it and told you? Looks like I'm on good terms with you! ”
A smile appeared on the corner of the guard's mouth.
The mountain man continued to say to him: "That man was my playmate who grew up together, so he told me about it. ”
I explained the reason to them.
"Did you reveal it after you knew?"
The guard asked him.
"Yes! I told another person, and there were only a few people in the village who knew about it. ”
"You said earlier that strangers have come to the mountains lately, and you never revealed the road?"
Hearing this, the mountain people hurriedly said: "Absolutely not, because it leads to that forbidden land, who has nothing to tell others!" Do you want to send people who don't know the truth to death! ”
He responded directly, and when the guards heard this, they frowned again, looked at him and said, "How did a few people in your village know that they could exchange news?" Don't have any worries? ”
The mountain people looked down and thought about it, looked at the guards with some embarrassment, and said, "Actually, that's the case...... There were very few people over there, and there were many living creatures, so there was no obstacle to hunting only on the periphery. ”
"Anyway, if you don't go into the woods, you just move around outside."
After a few gestures, the mountain people lowered their voices and said, "The people in the village are different from us, not only do they dare not go to the forbidden land, but they don't even dare to go to the circle outside the forbidden land. ”
The guard nodded and said, "I see what you mean, the person I found out at the beginning was very lucky." ”
They went to the forbidden place from the trail, bypassing the sight of the rest of the village, and the distance was still short, so it was convenient to go back and forth.
...... The carriage walked through the path in the woods, and the sound of talking could be heard in the distance.
This area is close to the stream, and all kinds of sounds come together in the ears, including the sound of water, the wind in the forest, and the noise in the distance, which sounds very noisy.
The carriage stopped again!
The last time I stopped on the mountain road, I was forced to walk a way back because a rockslide in front of me blocked the way, and then changed the route.
I sat up straight, moved to the window, and took a look outside.
Then, I heard Chen Xiang shouting in the direction of the carriage: "Xiaolin, we plan to go and see the road conditions ahead." ”
Hearing this, I quickly got out of the car, walked straight to the front seat, raised my head and said to the two people who came down: "No, one of you two has to stay." ”
I deliberately emphasized: "I can't do enough, you two must leave one!" ”
I raised my voice a little to Chen Xiang and said, "What's more, there are still injured people in the car, in case you both go away and something unexpected happens, how can I deal with it?" ”
"I'm too busy to take care of myself! Do you want me to leave him and run away? ”
"Xiaolin, you are really ......"
Chen Xiang paused while speaking, stared at me for a while, shook his head, and said, "You can't say it out so loudly if you don't have good kung fu, won't you be embarrassed?" ”
"I'm telling the truth! Brother Chen. ”
"Okay!" Chen Xiang turned his head and stared at the calm guy for a few seconds, and then said, "I'll stay, you go ahead and see what's going on!" ”
I noticed that Chen Xiang was still not very comfortable with him, and he might not want to leave himself but let him stay here.
I don't care, in my opinion, one of them will be enough to deal with the unexpected!
It doesn't matter who you are.
The latter listened to the tone and said calmly: "Okay, I'll go and see, you guys wait for the time being." ”
...... "Xiaolin, let's take a look!" ”
Watching that guy walk away, Chen Xiang looked a little uneasy, and muttered to me in a low voice.
"What about him?" I pointed to the car.
"Actually, it's okay, at the moment he is in stable condition, haven't you confirmed everything!"
I pondered, "Well, it's fine to hold on for a few hours, but ......"
I couldn't finish because Chen Xiang interrupted me.
"Xiaolin, it's okay if you don't have to worry about your life, and there is nothing valuable in the car we are sitting in, so it's better to stay where he is! Shall we just go and come? ”
I hurriedly shook my head and said, "No, no!" ”
"General Han asked me to go to the town with the car, and the main task is to ensure that this person's life is worry-free, and I ask you to keep one person for this reason!"
"Okay, then wait."
Chen Xiang couldn't convince me, so he walked to the edge of the stream, broke a branch from the big tree next to him, and played with it in his hand.
I stood by the carriage and after a few moments lifted the curtain to look inside to make sure the guy lying down was okay.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the guy sent to explore the path went and returned, followed by a man.
I saw the two of them coming through the woods, and my eyes subconsciously locked on to the mountain people who were following behind the guy.
Because the other party's dress is obvious, you can recognize it.
"Why did you come with someone?"
Chen Xiang turned his head and saw it, and couldn't help but say something.
I took a step closer to him and whispered, "If you can bring it here, there will be no danger." ”
"You see they walked so calmly, it didn't look like they had an argument."
...... "What are you talking about, there are still several landslides on the mountain road, what's going on?" ”
Chen Xiang was the first to shout after listening to it!
I know what he means, I'm afraid the journey will be longer.
No one expected this, and I distinctly remember that they didn't have such trouble when they came.
Could it be that all the good luck has run out, so it is very difficult to go out today?
I glanced at Chen Xiang and turned our gaze to the calm guy.
He stood beside the mountain people, and listened quietly to the mountain people without making a sound.
At this moment, he was stared at by two pairs of eyes, and he answered: "I brought someone here to show him the way." ”
He turned his head to look at Chen Xiang and said, "Although you are more familiar with the mountain roads in this area than me, there are some trails that can only be known by locals. ”
"Instead of wandering around the woods, let him follow the car, and then let him go down when he gets to the main road that leads directly outside the town."
I said how could there be more mountain people coming over, it was already planned.
In this way, it does save us a lot of effort.
Of course, Chen Xiang had no reason to object.
The mountain people didn't seem unhappy, and they reached an agreement in private.
I turned my head to look in the direction of the carriage and walked over and beckoned the mountain people to enter the carriage.
I myself stood by the carriage and waited for him to go in first.
As soon as the curtain of the car opened, the mountain people were suddenly frightened and took a few steps back!
I followed his line of sight, and the guy lying flat in the car was breathing steadily, but his face was really unsightly.
Strangers see it at first glance and are inevitably frightened!
"I'm sorry, it's our companion, who has a serious illness and wants to go to town."
The mountain people looked at the three of us and said, "You are the people of the king's master? Nearby camps? ”
"You even know that, do you?"
I looked at him with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said in a gentle tone: "That's right, it's indeed Wang Shi's person, and he wants to send him to the town, so it's more hurried." ”
"I'm glad I met you, I know the way!"
"If you're taboo, swap with one of the two of them, and you'll sit in the front seat."
I observed his expression and felt that it was better not to let him into the carriage, and the mountain people couldn't help but ask for it.
Chen Xiang's eyes lit up, and he shouted to the person beside him: "This is the best, the person you find, let him show the way, you can catch the car." ”
"I'm in the carriage."
"He has to show the way, in fact, it is more convenient to sit in front, and he has to open the curtain to look outside in the carriage, the cold wind is blowing, and the people in the car are cold!"
...... "Brother Chen, what was the landslide in this area before?" Is it because of the rain this winter? ”
I pondered for a moment, looked at Chen Xiang and asked.
He sat in the carriage, glanced at the guy lying down from time to time, and then turned his head to look at me and said, "Xiaolin, we heard from the locals that it started after the earthquake...... There was a lot of rain. ”
"In previous years, there weren't so many landslides."
The mountaineers in the front seat heard it and responded, "He's right! (To be continued.) )
