Chapter 2 "Cooking Smoke" in the Fields

The lush foliage blocked the view ahead, and I couldn't see the other side of the forest.

I don't know when the sky above the top of the mountain was gradually covered with dark clouds.

I knew that the climate in the mountains was changeable, and I was prepared.

But at such a tense moment, the sudden change in weather also seems to reflect the tension of the situation ahead.

The familiar screeching sound came again, and I couldn't help but shiver as I hid in the tree.

The illusion has a sense of oppression under the city, and in the quiet forest, the atmosphere is also weird in an instant, a good-looking novel:.

The sound of the hooves of galloping horses grew from far and near, accompanied by a sharp sound that became more and more intense.

In the flash of light, I finally saw clearly the two groups of people who had turned the woods in front of me into a fighting field.

There were no more than three or five men on one side, and the blood was mottled and the wolves were terrible, and they fled in the woods, while the other group behind them was the source of the shrill voices I heard.

The completely different number ratio constitutes an overwhelming gap in strength.

As the distance narrowed, the close-range weapon finally came out, and the sword light shrouded me about a few dozen feet away.

The fleeing side has reached the end of the crossbow, but the other side is gaining momentum.

After dozens of rounds, the clearing in the forest was stained red with blood

The thunder rang out one after another, until the raindrops the size of copper coins fell.

I hid in a tree, and although I heard the silence in the distance, I didn't dare to move.

The forest after the rainstorm has restored my first calm.

Only the dozen or so corpses in the glade reminded me that I had just experienced a bloody battle here.

In silence, the door of life and death opened for a short moment, and I clenched my fist hanging at my side from the tree.

To be on the safe side, I left the tree for another quarter of an hour, and then took advantage of the rain to slow down by the trunk.

As soon as my feet stepped on the ground, the mud after the rain had a faint fishy smell. The rain that washed through the forest took away the blood and disappeared, but the fishy smell on the tip of my nose lingered as if it were nothing.

Theoretically, it's so far away. It shouldn't be such a strong taste.

The visual impact of that scene is the key to my reaction now.

Looking around, I was about to make a detour to the other side of the path, when a question sprung up in my mind, and I changed my mind and went straight to the place where I had been fighting.

As I got closer, I gritted my teeth, suppressed the panic in my heart, covered my nose, and glanced at the corpse on the ground.

I've seen the devastation of life and the smoke of war in the snow country. After practicing medicine, I had a new understanding of life and death, and I stood there in a daze, staring at it for a long time before coming back to my senses.

The footsteps of the detour are particularly heavy.

When I went back to look at the scene I had just seen, I noticed something that I didn't expect.

The fleeing group was more like mountain bandits or aliens.

But the group that pursued them. But in clothes I've seen.

In the capital of the Lake Kingdom, I have seen such familiar clothes worn on the guards patrolling the city.

The moment I woke up from the wrecked ship on the gravel beach, I thought about the location of this place.

When I was on the road, I experienced the pleasant climate in the forest, and I had a guess.

However, the soldiers of the Lake Country who appeared in front of me now meant that I had a big trouble with myself.

This place is not what I thought it would be. I have seen the map of this world many times over there in Yunchu, and now, I can say with certainty that the place where I am is in the southwest, where the lake country borders Sealand.

Only here. There will be such a climate close to the territory of Sealand, good-looking novels:.

When I left the southwest, there was a lot of rumors, and I had already heard the uneasy movements of the royal family of the Lake Country.

The three places bordering each other have been plagued by disputes for decades.

For today's plan, it is very unreliable to go southeast. Now that the strife has affected this place, my best choice should be to go to Sealand.

I can tell that the place where I was separated from Yunchu should be on the edge of the southwest.

According to his personality, we originally set the next direction, which was to go to Sealand.

If he is safe and sound, the first thing he should do is to go to Sealand to find me, and I am actually the same as him.

The sudden rain made my clothes soaking wet and carrying flint stones, but I didn't dare to use them at this time.

In the unlikely event that the two sides of the battle send someone to spy in the woods, how can I escape?

I endured the uncomfortable feeling of the soaked clothes sticking to my body, but I still didn't stop walking.

The mountain wind blew, bitterly cold, and made me sneeze several times, cover my mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and I hurried in the direction opposite the stream, towards the destination of my heart.

In the evening, I finally came down the mountain.

When I walked out of the woods, I saw smoke rising about a few miles away, and my first reaction was that it was inhabited.

My feet were quicker, my soaked clothes had already been dried by my body temperature, and I hurried along the mountain road to reach the village before sunset.

In the barren mountains and wilderness, the smoke wafting in front of me now brings hope and strength.

The road down the mountain gradually widened, and it was only when you walked all the way from the gravel beach to here that the real "road" appeared.

The sky was completely dark, and the waning moon was shining in the sky, and I rushed to the "village" in the mountain breeze where I had high hopes.

From this morning to now, I have been through a battle of spectators, and now I am in terror again.

I thought that there were no zĂ i in the village at all, but a large row of lonely tombstones without tombstones in the mountain room.

Frozen in place, I remembered to make sure that my eyes were not wrong, and that earlier, I had clearly seen the "smoke" wafting in this direction.

By the moonlight, I wandered on the hills of high and low heights, wandered among the low trees, and saw a dilapidated shack behind a large pine tree, which looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.

Standing on his legs outside the shed, he listened carefully to the movement inside, but there was no one.

I breathed a sigh of relief, saying that in such a place, if there were really people living in it, I was afraid that I would be scared out of my illness even if I wasn't sick.

There was silence all around, and I pushed back to the hill and walked around the cemetery, stopping at one of the graves.

Compared to other ownerless tombs, this tomb is markedly different.

I couldn't take my eyes off it for a moment, so I simply stopped where I was and took a closer look at the tomb in front of me.

The dirt piled around showed signs of re-reinforcement, and a wooden plaque more than a foot long stood on it.

I took a closer look and could vaguely see the word "Ying", which seemed to be a woman.

Noticing the difference, I naturally made a new discovery, because the ground in front of the tomb was littered with traces of paper money, and there were even a lot of scorched flowers and leaves.

That is to say, today, this tomb called "Ying", someone came to worship and sweep it, and the black smoke I saw rising in front of me was about the sacrifices burned in front of the tomb, a beautiful novel:.

With my mind settled, I lowered my head and pondered my next route.

It's night, and it's a little unrealistic for me to keep going, but it's too much to stay here!

I was in a dilemma and decided to spend the night here.

Looking around, there is only one deserted shack, a little far away from this place, even if it rains a little at night, there is a temporary place to hide.

The most important thing is that the flint I carry with me has not yet come in handy.

The soaked clothes were dried by the body temperature, and after such a long journey, if you can't light a fire and roast it, if you are sick tomorrow morning, all the itinerary and plans will become empty talk.

What a person is most afraid of on the road is to fall ill.

Unable to do so, I hesitated no longer and turned to the low shack under the pine trees.

When I got to the door, I didn't bow my head and burrowed in, but after thinking about it, I first found some dead branches around, and it had rained, but fortunately, the exposed branches would easily be dried by the wind in the mountains.

I couldn't wait to light the flint.

So far, out of the forest, after driving a few miles of mountain roads, I haven't met any team that has come to find someone in the forest, which has somewhat calmed my heart a little.

Although the skin of the dead branches I picked up has been dried out, the inside is still damp, and it is not easy for me to set them on fire.

I tired the dead branches into a small pile, and then lit the flint and placed it in the middle, with my body still shielded from the wind, for fear that the fire would be blown out.

I tried again, but I was still unlucky and still failed.

I squatted there dejectedly, looking at the flint in my hand and feeling a little depressed, when had I walked such a difficult mountain road alone and lived such a helpless wild life.

After all, the last time I escaped from the Snow Country and experienced the war, I was also very wolf, but Yun Chu soon met me.

At the river, the moment I peeked out of the water, I saw the man I was destined to meet.

In just one day, I already thought about him again and again.

Sighing secretly, I put away the flint in my hand in a low voice.

That's it, if it doesn't work, let's sleep here for one night.

I don't dare to hope that there can be a chuang, there can be a dry place, I can rest for a while, I can also fall asleep, such a depressed moment, I have no right to be picky.

As soon as the cat got into the shack, my foot suddenly touched something that was half hard and half soft.

In an instant, I felt creepy, and I took a few steps back, and with my screams, a moan was also heard in the darkness.

Knowing Suo's voice, it was the thing that moved.

Then, I heard a lazy voice with a half-dreamy and half-awake tiredness, as if I had just had a good dream, and was disturbed by me, an uninvited guest, whose voice was lazy and a little unhappy.

"What's noisy?"

In an instant, the low shack lit up.

I saw what I was seeing, and my mouth opened wide in surprise, and my face changed smoothly.
