Looking at the figure of the eldest young master, I still remember the scene when he chased in the mountains.

"Well, you can help."

I looked up at him and paused, "It's too easy for you!" ”

I didn't expect him to take the initiative to ask for something to do.

After a while, I pointed to the dough on the board with him: "You can deal with this for me!" ”

Leaving the matter to him, I whispered a few precautions next to me.

Walked to the side and squinted at him, the tsundere boy really got started quickly.

From a distance, I watched him tending to the dough

It's not at all what I expected, how can I actually see a little bit of the smell of a family man?!

It's a rarity!

I can't think of this tsundere person who may have the potential to be a warm man!

After standing there for a moment, I stepped aside and began to make other preparations.

The boy moved quickly, and after a moment he turned to me and asked, "Xiaoling, come and have a look." “

I took a closer look, and sure enough, it was very qualified, and the craft could be taught.

The boy asked me, "Xiaoling, what are you going to eat?" ”

"You've tasted it, make it again today." I replied in a whisper, and added to him, "At night at the inn." ”

"It's the one!" The young man's eyes lit up, and I could see it clearly, and the look on his face was very happy to look at.

"Yes, satisfied, the eldest young master has worked hard, now, you can rest and wait by the side."

I pursed my lips and said in a light tone, "If you can't wait." It's better to go to the side house for a while, and when it's done, I'll come and call you. ”

This is the second time in a few days that I've done the same thing. There are also people who take the initiative to help, and the results are naturally satisfactory.

Even if Tsundere didn't interfere, I did it myself, but it was slower and more tired, but the taste was not bad, I always knew!

The boy stopped for a moment. It seems like wandering around the kitchen to see if there's anything else that needs help.

He searched for it, but couldn't get his hands on it, so he gently pushed the door and went out. Do what I say.

The boy went to the side room to wait, and the kitchen was quiet for a moment, and I was busy alone.

I walked over to the earthen stove and crouched down. Add some firewood to the hearth. Push the fire a little hotter.

It didn't take long for the fire to raise the temperature of the room a little more.

Thinking about the cold in the courtyard when you go out, people want to stay here for a moment, and they don't want to go down the mountain to hurry

When I saw that the steaming soup was almost cooked, I pushed the door open and went out to call him.

Walking in the yard, I heard the voice of the uncle and aunt, and the sky outside gradually brightened.

When he entered, the boy was sitting at a low table looking at an unfolded map.

I heard the sound of the door being slammed. He didn't even look up.

I don't know if the map he's looking at right now is convenient for me to see, so I don't rush over when I get in. Instead, he stood in the doorway and coughed.

I mean to remind him that if it's inconvenient, he can put the map away in time, and I don't have a secret hobby for him.

The boy sitting at the low table heard a cough, the corners of his lips moved, and he slowly folded the map.

When I approached, he raised his head and looked at me, and asked in a gentle tone, "Xiaoling, is it already done?" ”

"Otherwise," I sighed, "do you still want to call the eldest young master to help?" ”

He shook his head and said, "Later, I will ask the man of this house about the hunters living on the top of the hill in their village." ”

"Do you need my help, or do you need me to be there," I paused, asked tentatively, and looked at him intently.

The young man was stunned for a moment, and immediately answered: "We have already agreed, I plan to go up the mountain, but you better stay here and wait for me to come back, Xiaoling, I think"

"I interrupted him, who knows what he wants to do, he needs to hear what I think!"

I said in a calm tone, "I also want to follow you to the house on the top of the mountain to have a look, and inquire about the news by the way." ”

"The Northland hasn't arrived yet," I said in a calm tone as I stared into the tsundere boy's eyes, "and try to go together if you have any action." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, the boy stared at me and suddenly smiled.

Right now, he has a disguised face on his face, and he can't see his true face, but when he laughs, it still looks good.

I muttered to myself, how long will this man see what he really is?

Could it be that he really has a birthmark on his face?!

In an instant, I was distracted!

You know, at that time, I was obviously talking about something very important, which may be related to the safety of the road ahead, but the thoughts in my head have nothing to do with the task at hand.

I was watching his face slowly wander away unconsciously!

"Xiaoling," the tsundere boy suddenly called out to me, and suddenly I was refreshed and pulled out of the trance just now.

When I came back to my senses, I was a little embarrassed, and I quickly turned my head away. "If you insist on going with me, that's fine!" He changed his tone to me, "But when you get there, be smart, look at my gestures, and don't take the initiative to ask questions." ”

After thinking about it, the young man said to me sincerely, "Can you do it?" ”

I immediately glanced at him, and I couldn't see the content in his eyes, and I was surprised, "What do you mean by that?" "Just go up to the mountains and ask the hunter," I muttered in a low voice, "why do you say it seems to be dangerous?" “

"Please, we're not beasts in the mountains, and we're not the target of his hunt, we're just people passing by." "No, Xiaoling, you" the young man paused, "You'd better not come forward, I'll ask, naturally I'll ask what I want to know." “

I listened to him, and there was a hint of curiosity and doubt in my eyes, and I looked at him thoughtfully.

Isn't it just to ask for directions? Does he have other ideas?

I looked down and thought. I couldn't help frowning, and then my eyes fell back on him.

I remembered the map that the tsundere boy had spread out on the low table just now, was it still related to the map he put away?

I was immediately interested in looking at the map. After speculating for a while, I turned to him and asked, "Can you show me the map you looked at earlier?" “

Because when I coughed and reminded him, he was very slow to put it away, unhurried, and didn't seem to worry about me looking.

"Are you sure?"

"Are you sure, can you see if you can't do it?" I looked at him puzzled.

The boy did not hesitate, and after hearing this, he reached out and took out the map from his body. Put it on the table and calmly said to me, "You can take care of it yourself." “

I hurriedly reached out and picked it up, spread it out again, and looked at it intently. I feel very strange in my heart, isn't this the map of Suzhou City?

It turned out that what he was looking at just now was not the topographic map of this area at all.

We've already hurried here, and what is the tsundere boy still doing on the map of Suzhou City?

I really don't understand what he thinks. What's more, I have read the map of Suzhou City more than once. The layout is almost imprinted in the mind.

I folded the map, returned it to him and asked, "Are you looking at this, isn't it for the matter of the Beilang Mountain Tea Garden?" “

I can only understand that after listening to what I said, he planned to investigate the tea garden I was talking about, as well as the old friend of the innkeeper in Nanhua Town.

That person couldn't figure out how to go to the village in the middle of the night to ask for directions, he should be stationed in the tea plantation around Beilangshan, or from Beilangshan to Nanhua Town, adding up to such a large range of activities.

It's quite far from Nanhua Town. He still has a certain place to go, no matter how he thinks about it, he feels bored!

Didn't the person who reported the news from the Yuwen family go to Suzhou a long time ago?

If nothing else, it should be chasing after you in the next few days.

The boy thought ahead of time the next steps to be taken. When the time comes, no matter whether he goes back with them or not, he can arrange the task as soon as possible.

Preparing for a rainy day, he probably hit this idea.

If you want me to believe that he let the affairs of Suzhou go unattended, I don't believe it!

It's another thing for him to go to the north with me, he worked hard all the way from the south of Xilan to Suzhou, isn't it because the affairs of the Yuwen family are holding him back?

I don't have much interest in the things around Beilangshan in Suzhou, which belongs to the Yuwen family.

The place where the tsundere boy has to manage has nothing to do with me either.

Speaking of maps, I have drawn all the maps north of Suzhou in the study of his eastern mansion.

The locations and terrain above are familiar.

I know the ins and outs of the whole thing, but the most curious thing is the mysterious person.

He must not be a simple tea garden guard.

I pondered for a moment, and noticed that the boy's eyes kept falling on my face.

I got up from the low table and said to the young man in front of me, "Tell the master later, I'm listening, after breakfast, I'll go to the mountain with you, I'm sure." “

I didn't look at him, but walked out first and pushed the door open.

Standing in the courtyard, he heard a voice, and soon saw the uncle and them coming out of the house.

The mountain people all got up early, and I was an accident today, if it weren't for the uninvited guests in the middle of the night, maybe I would still be napping in the stove at this time!

I greeted me and smiled at my aunt: "Auntie, I woke up early and made food, you can taste it." “

At the dinner table, listening to the chatter of the eldest mother, I took a sip of hot soup and raised my head to look at the tsundere boy.

He sat next to me, right in line of sight with me.

I had a little doubt in my eyes, and I was sure he could see it.

The next moment, the young man asked, "The hunter who lives on the mountain seems to be the one who brought people to stay last night, right?" “

I was stunned, what would happen if this guy called "uncle" or "auntie", he just refused to call it, it sounded very rude.

Fortunately, the mountain people would not worry much about him, and the eldest lady replied when she heard this: "Yes, I live on the top of the mountain, and my name is Agui." “

"In our village, count the distance where he goes every time he goes hunting." "Isn't it easy to run into danger in the mountains when you hunt far away?"

I couldn't hold back, took a sip of the soup, and asked next to me.

The eldest lady looked at me and smiled: "There are a lot of hunters in this area, and you can't find much prey nearby. “

The eldest lady is right, for people who ask for directions, it is true that the Orion on the top of the mountain is a better choice.

I'm thinking, it seems that the tsundere boy is quite right, at least they didn't ask about Longyuan Lake at the uncle's house last night, maybe they did ask for information on the top of the mountain!

I looked at the boy, and the look in his eyes was self-evident.

I looked down and continued to deal with the food in the bowl, thinking that if I waited until I got up the hill and saw that person, I would have to ask what I wanted to know.

Unless the tsundere boy asked for me.

After making up my mind, I listened to him continue to say to the eldest lady: "We want to ask him for some news, and we want to go up the mountain to ask in a while." "Are you also going to ask about that Longyuan Lake?" Uncle said strangely.

It sounds like not only us, but even the uncle is impressed by the place names asked by strangers. "You said he went quite far, and we wanted to talk to him."

I neither admit nor deny it, because I don't think either option is good, and it is better to be sloppy and vague. "Yes, he's almost as far as the Northlands, and he's as far as he can go." Uncle replied to me. "What we want to inquire about is what happened over there, he has run far and has a lot of knowledge, and it is the first time for us to go this way, and we want to ask about the road conditions and so on."

I made eye contact with him and continued.

The old couple didn't show surprise when they heard this, they stayed at their house last night, and they should have a good impression of us.

The eldest lady told me the location of the mountain dweller's Agui's house, and she sighed with emotion: "Agui is a person with a hard life, and his parents died very early. “

The eldest lady paused and continued: "At the moment, he still lives alone, married a daughter-in-law, and ran away. “

I listened in a daze, listening to the eldest lady planning to start the topic again, maybe the fire will burn on the tsundere boy in a while.

They will definitely use the topic to play and talk about the life events of the tsundere boy, but that is what he dislikes the most.

It was very warm in the room, and my back was almost sweaty, and I was thinking about how to answer the call, so that they could stop, so as not to annoy the careful-eyed young master all of a sudden!

As a result, the young man put down the bowl first and said, "I'm full, and I'm going to go to the mountains now." ”

"Big brother, I'll go with you." I quickly stood up

Walk along the trail to the top of the mountain.

It was the village road, which had rained almost overnight and was muddy.

I could see the footprints on the ground, and I thought it was a little strange.

It stands to reason that after those people went down the mountain, their footprints were washed away by the rain, how could there still be such fresh traces.

The boy caught my eye, and he paused to take a closer look at the marks left on the ground.

After a while, he stood up and looked at me and said, "Xiaoling, someone went down on the mountain, before we came out!" (To be continued.) )
